Chapter 630
Facts have proved that Shu He is not only good at leading troops and fighting, but he is also unambiguous about investigating cases, which is something that civil servants are good at.

In just two days, after simply inquiring about Governor Gan Ning's official style, he not only broke into the governor's office single-handedly and fished out Fan Wenzhuo, the prefect of Bianzhou, but even ordered people to take down the arrogant Gan Ning without mercy. Governor Wang Changping, as soon as the general's order came out, everyone in the governor's yamen was scared out of their wits.

As long as Shuhe does not violate his own master's rules, he has always acted on his own pleasure without any means. After a vigorous interrogation, all the truth surfaced almost instantly.

A well-proportioned booklet arrived in Xie Changting's hands very quickly.

A seemingly simple flood, but it involves the unknown inside story behind the scenes, which almost makes Shuhe furious.

Issued a general order, quickly mobilized the nearest army soldiers and horses, and controlled dozens of unscrupulous officials in various places in Cang Yue who controlled the livelihood of the people.

It was a very long book, with a list of all the people involved in the case and the mastermind behind them.

More than three officials have been interrogated, and their confessions have been successfully obtained. They all speak one word, and all point the finger at one person——

A former official who has resigned from office but has not retired, and is even secretly trying to control the direction of the court.

Just as Xie Changting guessed beforehand, the flood in Bianzhou was man-made, and the purpose was just to create a reason for the people of Bianzhou to be exempted from taxes.

And the reason is not just that simple.

The imperial court could order to exempt Bianzhou from taxes. However, Governor Wang Changping of Ganning, who was directly under Bianzhou at the time, would not be so merciful. The taxes and grains that should be levied still had to be paid in full.

In this way, all the crops will be destroyed, and the people who have no income from grain and rice will be completely wiped out. All the grain paid will be put into the personal pocket of Gan Ning governor Wang Changping——

This is not the real cause of the matter, and the real purpose they want to achieve.

"They did this only because they listened to someone's instructions, and these taxes are the benefits they deserve."

Corrupt officials collude, officials and officials interact with each other.

Just one place in Bianzhou may not be enough to cause shock, but if the situation is similar in all parts of Cang Yue, due to various reasons, the people cannot pay their taxes and food, and the officials report to the court and ask the emperor for a sanction. The headache must be the emperor.

If it's just one state and one city, it's too easy, no matter how serious the situation is, it's just the treasury allocating funds for disaster relief.And if similar things happen everywhere, I am afraid that the foundation of the country will be shaken soon.

If it is more serious, the disaster victims from all over the country will be disappointed with the court, and they will rebel in anger. Even if the army under the emperor's hands is strong, they can easily suppress the civilians who committed the rebellion. It will definitely be a serious injury to the country and the court. A matter of vitality.

The law does not blame the public—even if it is very clear in the heart, whether it is a real natural disaster or a deliberate act by someone with a heart.

The above is the wishful thinking and self-righteous thinking of the behind-the-scenes messenger. He believes that officials and officials protect each other and cover up the truth, so that they can deceive the sky, so as to achieve the goal of easily controlling the government without leaving home.

It also let the current emperor see clearly that he is not the only one who has the final say on the Cang Yue Dynasty.

"This thought is indeed meticulous and vicious enough." The corners of Xie Changting's mouth twitched lightly, and the arc of his mouth seemed a little frighteningly cold, "as long as the hostility and hatred between the court and the people are provoked , the huge world can perish without a fight and self-destruct in an instant.”

A hundred flowers bloom, the fragrance is rich, the autumn wind is cool, comfortable and pleasant.

Su Mo lazily moved her body, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she smiled menacingly, "However, he made the three biggest mistakes that many people would make."

Xie Changting didn't speak, Cang Hao stood on the railing with his hands behind his back, looking at the beautiful scenery in the imperial garden, and didn't speak.

"First, he underestimated the emperor's ability and temper."

"Second, he underestimated the prime minister's ability and temper."

"Third, he underestimated Shu He's ability and temper."

The three "underestimates" were actually the negligence of the master behind the scenes, and also his conceit, which destined him to die without a place to bury him.

The reason why Cang Hao is Cang Hao is that he can always accurately predict the opponent's next plan when bad things appear.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to be panicked or helpless.

And the reason why Xie Changting is Xie Changting is that he can accurately lock the target as soon as something happens. For all the stupid people who dare to plot against Cang Hao—no matter how likely the other party is to succeed, he will It is absolutely impossible to let it go softly.

As for Shu He, although his temper is not considered cruel, it is a pity that his loyalty to his master has already surpassed everything, and for this reason, he will destroy all those who have evil intentions, even if the world is turned upside down.

Acting vigorously and resolutely, this is what is meant by acting vigorously and resolutely... It is also the main reason why Xie Changting sent Shu He to investigate the case.

If other officials were sent, even if they were selfless and devoted to their duties, it would be absolutely impossible to have such a speed.

What Xie Changting wants is Shuhe's nonsensical personality that does not follow the rules. Sometimes, this can often achieve more satisfactory results than expected.

"All the inside story of the matter has been clearly investigated. There are not a few officials involved in the list. They are all forces secretly cultivated by Sikong Sheng during his reign, and some are his disciples, ranging from the prefects of various states to the governor and governor As an official, he has his influence everywhere, so he dares to act as the local emperor in the imperial capital without fear." The corners of Xie Changting's mouth slightly raised an almost imperceptible arc, half a smile, half a mockery, "Although the ranks of the officials of all parties They are not too high, but they are convenient to use. Taxes from various places are the main source of income for the national treasury. His most direct purpose is to control the national treasury, and then control the six ministries. In this way, even if he cannot return to the court, he will Let the emperor have to worry about him three points."

And the supervisory censor in the imperial capital also belonged to Sikong Sheng.

"It's still the same sentence, the mind is meticulous enough, and the power under his control is indeed not small. No wonder his eldest grandson dared to threaten this girl brazenly on Yunyang's birthday last time."

Su Mo sighed, "It's really boring to say, the life in this palace is already boring enough, I finally met this mouse that I sent to the door by myself, and I didn't even have time to play with it, so I was taken over by you, Changting, Really disappointing."
