Chapter 271 Buying an Official
"Back to the Emperor, as far as I know, the magistrate of Ning County should be named Feng Youcai. He took the exam in the same year as Mr. Yan."

The Minister of Staff suddenly remembered that because Yan Jialin had been promoted from a small county magistrate, the Minister of Staff also went to see a few people who were assigned to various counties together with Yan Jialin.

At that time, Feng Youcai was the last one to enter, and he was also assigned to a county.Later, due to the sudden rise of Yan Jialin, who was the top scholar at that time, the Minister of Civil Affairs was curious and looked at the case files of several other county magistrates of the same Enke, and found that the others had no merits and demerits, and were not like Yan Jialin at all. There is something extraordinary about adults.

So now, when the emperor mentioned Ning County, the Minister of Civil Affairs slowly thought about it: "Your Majesty, the veteran of Ning County confirmed that the county magistrate is named Feng Youcai."

After this recollection, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has confirmed it, and the impression is quite deep, because the name is really too straightforward.

"Oh, then how come the people from Ning County came to Beijing to complain, saying that Wu Taixian, the newly arrived magistrate of Ning County, was oppressing the people and had no laws." Emperor Qinglong did not expect that there was such an official in Qing Kingdom.

Once this matter reaches the emperor's place, it will be no small matter.After leaving the imperial study, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs dug out various case files, called in several people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs for questioning, and finally came to a terrifying conclusion.

The county magistrate of Ning county unexpectedly changed from Feng Youcai to Wu Taixian half a year ago.

Xianfu Palace.

"Your Majesty, you are kidding. Can you buy this official with money?" Ruyi couldn't believe it.

Ruyi's performance made Emperor Qinglong a little ashamed that such a thing happened under his own rule.

"Fortunately, we discovered it early. This kind of behavior must be severely punished." Ruyi saw the old emperor's discomfort and immediately comforted him with a few words.

"I must punish you severely and never tolerate it." Emperor Qinglong has sent people to investigate the cause and effect. Although he knows that someone must be operating, the extent of the involvement still depends on the evidence.

Ten days later, a case of purchasing an official position involving a child shocked the court.

"I really don't know what to say, such a person is really courageous." Emperor Qing Long was going to explode in anger.

Ruyi looked at the man who looked like a fire-breathing dragon and had no choice but to let him vent his anger first. It would not be good to hold the fire in all the time.

"Whoever dares to appoint the magistrate of Haicheng has the courage to appoint him himself, and it depends on who can give him more money." When Emperor Qinglong thought about this, he wanted to kill these people alive.

Ruyi finally figured out the cause and effect amidst the roar of the fire-breathing dragon.

The original magistrate of Ning County, Feng Youcai, passed away due to illness. Logically, this change of position must be reported to the Ministry of Personnel in the capital, or Haicheng can recommend a candidate, but the final approval is still with the Ministry of Personnel.

Unexpectedly, Huazhizhou of Haicheng directly received 10 taels from others and gave away the position of county magistrate. He also said that the Ministry of Officials would be responsible for handling the matter, so that the buyer would not have any worries at all.

Wu Taixian, who bought the county magistrate, is also daring. Originally, the county magistrate was not justified, but also oppressed the people, concealed the truth, and wanted to turn Ning County into the Wu family's family, and did a lot of evil in Ning County.

All relevant officials in Haicheng were dismissed and investigated, and the follow-up investigation will continue under the Ministry of Personnel.There were not too many people involved this time. From Haicheng Zhizhou all the way down, everyone knew something about it, and the officials punished them according to the severity.

When Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu saw the child again, the child had already taken root in Ci'an Hall. He took the initiative to help take care of younger children on weekdays, and also helped some four or five-year-old children to learn some words.

When the child heard from the mouths of the two wives that the great revenge had been avenged, he was also deeply saddened.This kid had also studied books with his father for a few days before, no wonder he thought of such a method, and finally got it done for him, but his family has passed away.

"Would you like to stay in Ci'an Hall in the future and find a job?" Concubine Shu couldn't bear it.

"Thank you, madam, I am willing." Anyway, I don't have any relatives back home, so it would be better to be here with so many younger brothers and sisters who are as fatherless and motherless as myself.
