Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 161
Yinzhen also "admired" Miss Cheng very much, such a woman could have a place in the biographies of unofficial history.

Miss Cheng's crimes were more than that. There were already many people in the lobby, and Miss Cheng didn't treat the slaves very well on weekdays, so she naturally complained.

In addition, if you say something useful, you may be able to alleviate some crimes, so the servants of Cheng's mansion naturally know everything about the crimes of the master of Cheng's mansion.

Soon, the crimes of Miss Cheng and Mrs. Cheng were filled with several sheets of pleadings. Many of these were things that the imperial guards hadn't had time to investigate. After all, the time was tight and the task was heavy, so the investigation was indeed not careful enough.

In the final pleadings, there were nearly hundreds of people with names and surnames. The crimes committed by the mother and daughter alone are heinous.

Miss Cheng and Mrs. Cheng also wanted to refuse to admit it to death, but the evidence was solid and there was no room for them to argue. Then Yinzhen convicted Mrs. Cheng, Miss Cheng and the evil slaves who accompanied them in court. Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Er The lady naturally wants to be executed, as for those evil slaves, because they have done too much evil, most of them have to be executed along with their masters.

There are also some minor crimes, those who are sent to prison, and those who are exiled are very straightforward.

The master of the Cheng family will not be interrogated today, and he is temporarily detained. There is insufficient evidence, and further investigation is needed.

Cheng Ji, the second master of the Cheng family, is the second brother. He is neither favored by his parents nor doted on by his third brother.

In the past, he was able to be the teacher of the first emperor, and he was also very talented. Shunzhi admired his talent very much before, and his third brother was a Jinshi with a lower ranking in the second class. In the end, he was able to be the chief minister of Suzhou, relying on procedures The name of this second brother.

Now that Program is alone in the capital, and the Cheng family has done such a disaster without telling her, he is really ashamed to meet his ancestors!

There were no more prisoners in the hall, so Jie Jie knelt on the ground with a ashen face.

"The slave is guilty, I hope the emperor will punish him."

Yinzhen's sense of program is not very good, but he knows that Program is not that courageous, so he probably really doesn't know about it.

Now that the matter has not yet been concluded, Yinzhen will not casually convict Mr. Xiandi.

Yinzhen looked at Cheng Jie's aging face, and said: "You go back and rest for a while, and I will send two people to take care of your daily life. We will discuss this matter after a few days when we have a conclusion."

Seeing that the emperor did not directly remove him from office, Program felt a little relieved. He knew that he was not the courtier he loved today, but he couldn't bear the feeling of being in the court and holding power, so he never resigned.

Now that the emperor can still bear his temper and not dismiss him, he really did not expect that he did not participate in this matter, but he knows his brother and younger brother well, so he must take advantage of his influence.

Even if the emperor understands, he will not be able to stay in this court. Now that the emperor has not directly dismissed him, he has to know whether it is good or bad, if the emperor saves face for him, he must give it all.

Procedure: "Slave, thank the emperor."

The program was taken down.

Since the Cheng family in Jinan sells private salt, the family property will naturally be confiscated. Since last night, someone has gone to the Cheng family to check the Cheng family's property.

Originally, Yinzhen was planning to solve the problem of the county magistrate, but someone came to report that the Cheng family's house had been copied.

And now all the things copied from the house are placed in the county government!It is said to be full.

Yinzhen took everyone to the courtyard of the county government, but it was full of people. The courtyard of the county government was not small, and there were many boxes of gold and silver in the office room of the program study.

There are also all kinds of precious porcelain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and priceless jade jewelry... too many to count.

The people who followed Yinzhen were all wealthy families, but seeing the dazzling real money even if they have family backgrounds, it would be very shocking, right?
This wealth is enough to marry three or four princes Fujin in the capital. You know, the dowry of the prince Fujin can support several princes and princesses. As a result, this overwhelming wealth was found from a merchant's house, which made everyone feel uneasy shocked.

Yinzhen glanced at it, and then his expression was unclear: "The bookkeeping is sealed up, and it is temporarily stored in this county government."

It wasn't that Yinzhen didn't want to transport the money back, it was really bad luck for such a large amount of money, the journey was far away and the risk on the road was too great.

In addition, money is really needed here, such as building river channels, which is the most expensive project, and it is also one of the main reasons for going to the south of the Yangtze River this time.

Then Yinzhen began to ask people to punish the crimes of the county magistrate. Speaking of which, the county magistrate was also unlucky. He wanted to do something, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs. Turn a blind eye to family affairs.

It's not that he doesn't know that the Cheng family is going too far, but he dare not do it!

Now that he has been investigated, he is relieved.

After encountering such an accident, Yinzhen lost interest in playing, but Yunrong knew that his mood might not get better, so she didn't say anything about going out.

Although she doesn't know much about government affairs, but as a top student, she is good at general affairs!

In the past, she devoted all her energy to studying instruments that benefit the country and the people, but now she feels that she can make some institutional matters.

Just like how she defined herself, she doesn't understand politics, but as a top student, she has studied the system, and as a top student who knows how to integrate, she is confident in providing an applicable inspection system.

Then Yunrong started to get busy.

Seeing Yunrong getting busy, Yinzhen felt a little more guilty for not being able to accompany her to Qianfo Mountain, after all, he couldn't let Yunrong relax for two days.

Yinzhen was busy dealing with the Cheng family's matter, so he didn't need to watch it personally, but he felt that it was too annoying to watch this matter himself.

Yinzhen's people were very fast, and within a few days they investigated Cheng's family. Soon Shandong began to be in turmoil. Many merchants and officials were demoted and demoted. The same is true in Suzhou. Well, the Cheng family, as the one that was exposed at the beginning, naturally had the most heads.

It has been nearly ten days since this incident came to an end.

Yinzhen started to send letters to the capital again. After all, some officials here have been dismissed, so they have to go to fill the vacancies. Fortunately, Yinzhen intends to cultivate talents these years. There are some useful people in the capital, as long as the letters are delivered.

Yunrong also made some progress here.

Yunrong handed Yinzhen the proposal written by herself.

Yinzhen didn't know, so he asked, "What?"

Yun Rong was also a little embarrassed, it was her first time writing these things, because she used to write long and professional papers, so Yun Rong was not particularly sure.

"I wrote something, you can see if it can be used, if it can be used, it will be great, if it can't be used, then forget it."

Yinzhen was quite curious about what it was, so he took it over and looked at it carefully.

After looking at it, I saw it, and then looked at Yunrong: "Although the idea is still a little immature, it can be used with one or two modifications."

Yinzhen really didn't expect that Yunrong would give him such a plan. The collusion between government and businessmen is so serious that even the emperor can't avoid it, let alone this rich and attractive Jiangnan.

If it is implemented according to Yunrong's plan, although it cannot be completely avoided, it can be alleviated, and the people can benefit more, which is conducive to the long-term development of the Qing Dynasty.

Yun Rong's method is also simple, but it uses public opinion supervision, which is a bit different from the newspaper's public opinion supervision. Here, reporters verify through visits, and then publish anonymously.

As for the reporter?Naturally, it comes from the Journalism Academy. If it is not enough, then build it again.

Public opinion supervision alone is not enough, and some system changes must also be coordinated. For example, some officials have too many official positions and can cover the sky with one hand. For example, the jurisdiction of a county is the largest. If there is some relationship, it will be like a local emperor.

Therefore, some official positions must be divided into two, and it is also necessary to ensure that the two official positions have conflicts of interest and avoid collusion with each other.
