I'm a big dick

Chapter 100 The Holy Majesty Asked Someone to Bring a Word

And Li Sancai is a high-profile person, donating money and living extravagantly. Even the Donglin Party, who defended him, could not deny this fact and commented that his "sex cannot be honest."

It is precisely because Li Sancai did not show integrity that he has been criticized by his political opponents.However, he "has great talent and good use of power, and is good at winning over court officials. Fuhuai has been in charge of Huai for 13 years, and he has made friends all over the world."

To put it bluntly, Li Sancai is a generous spender, has a wide network of contacts, and has strong communication skills. He has many irresistible friends in the court.

Every time there is trouble, this group of people will jump out to defend it.Including Gu Xiancheng, "do not doubt his beauty", but praise him for his honesty and integrity.

I have to say that Li Sancai is really talented.He counseled the emperor, dared to speak out, and sympathized with the people, and was praised by the merchants for discounting tax supervisors and exempting business taxes.

Therefore, Li Sancai's reputation in the government and the public is good, good, good!He is really a good official with a strong character, pleading for the people, and caring for the people.

If Li Sancai is honest and self-reliant, then needless to say, he is a good official praised by the government and the public; but if he strips away the appearance and sees the essence, and only looks at his family property of millions, he can analyze the inner nature of "a traitor like loyalty".

Greed is for sure, don't use him as a cover for the financial management of the Chamber of Commerce.

But on the one hand, he was greedy for the taxes and fees paid by the merchants who were supposed to travel by water to the country, and on the other hand, he spoke for the merchants and asked the court to reduce taxes on the merchants.Hurt the country and gain the reputation of the individual, so why are all the good things all his?

Besides, he was sympathetic to the people's feelings, and asked the imperial court to reduce or exempt the local clean grain many times during his Fuhuai period, and distributed grain for disaster relief.

It is his responsibility to stabilize the place, and he is so rich, but has he paid a penny for relief and disaster relief?At most, it was reported according to the facts. How did the court's act of compassion for the people become the capital for his fame?
During the 13 years of the Governor's Water Transport, Li Sancai was not only supported by countless officials in the court, but also praised by the people among the people, and became the general leader of the merchants in Tongzhou.

With all these things, even Zhu Youxiao had to admit that Li Sancai really knew how to play.He was greedy for several million, and even the government and the public praised him, convinced!

The leather boots made a dull sound when they stepped on the wet stone floor.

Luo Sigong walked into the prison expressionlessly, as if he had a problem with his nose, and had no reaction to the stench of moss, dirty water, rotten wood, etc.

The Holy Majesty's secret decree made it clear that the case should be concluded before the palace examination and made public.Luo Sigong didn't think it was difficult, but he was very awe-inspiring about the emperor's thoughts.

Is there only one Li Sancai?If that's the case, the Holy Majesty should quickly announce the amount of Li Sancai's family property and silence those officials.

But the Dongchang where the Holy One wanted to raid the house was strictly kept secret, and he sent the factory supervisor, Uncle Wei, to sit in the town, and the stolen goods brought back were not publicized, and even sneaked into Beijing at night.

It was precisely because of this treatment that those officials went to the court recklessly, complaining about Li Sancai's grievances, and their voices of defense became louder and louder.

The Holy Majesty does not need to fabricate charges, he just handles the case honestly.But there is an intention and a conspiracy behind it, and few people can see it.

Is it complicated? In Luo Sigong's view, it is very simple at all.But how complicated methods did the emperor need to deal with his courtiers?

The reason why the emperors in history wanted to find a crime to deal with officials was to save face, worrying about the records in the history books, and their reputation!
But if you run into a shameless person, be it a faint king or a tyrant, other than cursing and writing it in the history books, what means do officials have to resist?

In Luo Sigong's view, those officials who jumped out were idiots who couldn't see the situation clearly and insisted on hitting the emperor's knife.

I'm holding back my strength to deal with you, and I don't know whether to live or die, I really deserve it.

"My lord, we're here." The head of the prison respectfully reminded Luo Sigong, interrupting his thoughts.

Luo Sigong nodded, without saying a word, the prison head retreated knowingly.

Across the thick wooden fence, Li Sancai sat on a pile of straw, his white hair was a little disheveled, but he looked at Luo Sigong indifferently.

Suddenly arrested from his home and taken to Fusi in the capital city overnight, Li Sancai gradually regained his composure from the shock, and began to think hard about why he was convicted.

Li Sancai is not an ordinary bureaucrat, and his intelligence is definitely better than most people.If you have money, have the skills to communicate, and know people better, you can weave a big net to protect yourself from the wind and rain.

Moreover, apart from corruption, Li Sancai is reckless, daring to speak and act, and has his own values, political views and ideological orientation. He is really an extremely complicated character.

But no matter what, Li Sancai, who is behind bars, is not in despair.Although he is now a commoner, he has a lot of friends and contacts, many of whom are high-ranking officials in the court, how can he not help?

That's why Li San felt that as long as he persisted and refused to admit it, he would be fished out soon.

Another reason that made Li Sancai quite confident was that the unruly rules were followed in the official circles at that time, that is, the officials were dismissed without further investigation of their crimes.

To put it simply, if you have been corrupted and someone impeaches you, and you feel that you are going to be cold, you should immediately resign voluntarily.In this case, even if the imperial court does not approve, you hang up your seal and leave, this matter is basically over.

It sounds weird, but that's what partisanship is all about.The main purpose of impeaching you is not to punish you, to recover the losses for the court, but to drive you out of office.

Everyone is gone, the goal has been achieved, who cares how much you are greedy.

Chasing and fighting fiercely will be criticized by people.Besides, stay on the line in everything, who knows if it will be the same in the future?

Therefore, after Li Sancai was demoted to a commoner, he returned to Tongzhou and became a rich man with peace of mind, without worrying at all.After being arrested and sent to the Zhenfu Department, after a short period of panic, he was not very scared.

However, when Luo Sigong stood outside expressionlessly, under the gaze of cold eyes, Li Sancai was calm on the surface, but had an ominous premonition in his heart.

If an official reported impeachment, Li Sancai was not afraid; but if the emperor ordered the case to be handled, things would be difficult to handle.

It's not that Li Sancai hadn't thought about this, but he thought it was unlikely.

The emperor is still young and has no intersection with himself.In the first year of Tianqi, Liaoyang fell, and the censor Fang Kezhuang went to Shushu one after another to ask for the appointment of Li Sancai.Therefore, the court discussed and deliberated, and the officials were at odds with each other, so they had to shelve it.

Even if it is not used, it is said that the emperor is quite moved.How long has it been since then? How could he suddenly turn his back on him, who is already a commoner?
Now, when Luo Sigong stood in front of him, although Li Sancai was still puzzled, his heart sank.

At the age of 70, what you care about is not your own life, but the life and death of your family, right?

Luo Sigong looked at Li Sancai in prison, pondered Li Sancai's state of mind and thoughts, slightly pursed his lips, confident in his own judgment.

"Lord Luo." Li Sancai finally cupped his hands, and said, "The grassroots are polite."

Luo Sigong narrowed his eyes, and slowly let out a heavy and cold voice, "My lord asked me to give you a sentence..."
