Chapter 36 The Dirty Behind Corruption
"Nonsense! Corruption and bribery, neglect your duties, come and detain Zhou Sanpi!" Hong Zulie was furious and ordered Zhou Sanpi to be imprisoned.
"Zhou Zhongxing, for such a big thing, you actually arranged such people to be on duty. Isn't you wronged to ask you for the crime of misunderstanding?" His subordinates arrested Zhou Sanpi, and Hong Zulie pointed his anger at Zhou Zhongxing again.
"I am not unfair to my humble position. I am willing to be punished by the lowly position." Zhou Zhongxing bowed and replied in fear and fear.
"You should be dismissed from office, but the Qin case is important. I will allow you to make meritorious service for the time being. After the Qin case is tried, I will discuss your crime."
"Yes, yes, yes, sir."
"Don't notify Bi Kexing's body for the time being. In addition, other criminals in this case must be kept under strict supervision and no one is allowed to visit. There must be no less than two jailers on duty. Did you hear that?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you must follow the instructions of the adults." Zhou Zhongxing nodded like pounding garlic, and agreed in a series of voices.
"Mr. Gu, it's not too late to make up for the bribe. Is it appropriate for Hong to deal with this?" Hong Zulie asked Gu Yanqing.
"The Lord is the presiding judge. Gu obeys everything if he deals with it." Gu Yanqing hurriedly said.
"Okay, then let's go back to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, first Wen Guangzhou Prefecture, and ask them to find Si Zuye quickly. Then we will examine Chen Zhengtai, Jiang Chunlin and Wen Shaojin, how about it?" Hong Zulie discussed with Gu Yanqing.
Gu Yanqing opened his mouth and didn't answer the words at once. He thought to himself: "I won't ask Bi Kexing's case anymore? At least I have to ask Bi Kexing's wife and son? Chen, Jiang, Wen has nothing to do to try. Needless to say, their brigade general blamed Bi Kexing. Isn't it just that he can't speak?"
Then he thought again: "No, you have to report this matter to Lord Huang quickly. You, Hong Zulie, want to cover up, our Censorate will not be able to do this mess."
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Hong, Gu thought that the most urgent task was to find Si Zuye, Chen, Jiang and Wen families, and not to be tried. Besides, if such a big thing happened, Gu must report it to Mr. Huang quickly. After all, this is the Qin case, and we cannot bear such a heavy responsibility."
"Well, that's right. Then, Hong will immediately write to the prefect of Guangzhou when he goes back, and then report to Secretary Lu Shangshu." Hong Zulie agreed.
So the two were out of prison and went separately.
...
When Lu Daqi and Huang Zongxi took Hong Zulie and Gu Yanqing to the palace to face the king in a hurry, Zhu Youlang had already learned about Bi Kexing's death.
When he heard this message, he didn't know what it felt.
How similar is this to later generations. Those who jumped into the lake and drowned and jumped off the building under the name of "depression" all wanted to die, which not only saved their reputation, but also saved their private wealth, and more importantly, they saved a large number of bosses associated with it.
If a person dies, as long as he dies, the clues will be cut off and the case cannot be investigated. It is impossible to dig deep into the carrot and bring out the mud.
Isn’t that the death of Bi Kexing?
It was really a relief for Gu Yanwu's original obstruction. Otherwise, Zhu Youlang would not have discovered that the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty under his leadership would have so many dirty things.
"Your Majesty, I am so pleading for punishment." Lu Daqi and Huang Zongxi were really ashamed this time. They all knew that the emperor wanted to use this case to rectify the administration of the government and push the new policy away, so that those who tried to hinder the implementation of the new policy could see the determination of the court. Such an important case was ruined after just one session. How could they not be ashamed and ashamed? I really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
"Yanruo, I really don't know whether to laugh or be angry? Is your prison in the Ministry of Justice or a market? You don't know the importance of Bi Kexing's case. Even if you are busy, you have to entrust a loyal and capable official if you don't go to the trial in person, right? Why did you give it to Hong Zulie, a confused official? Have you ever told me how to handle it? Have you ever asked about the number of guards, guard shifts, and even whether the prison cells are clean? Don't you understand that no visits are allowed before the case is finalized? Such hasty and bureaucratic has really disappointed me!" Zhu Youlang was extremely angry and scolded Lu Daqi without hesitation.
Lu Daqi could imagine that the emperor was angry, but he did not expect that the emperor would raise this matter to such a high level and directly criticized his "bureaucrats" of the Ministry of Justice. The prison was like a "market", but he almost scolded him for being "stupid". After judging the anger in it, Lu Daqi was even more ashamed and speechless. He just kept kowtowing and apologizing: "I am guilty, and I am guilty..."
"Yanruo, in fact, you have not truly realized your sins. The court is working hard to restore the world of the Great Ming Dynasty. Since the reform of the army, everyone is accelerating. However, your Ministry of Justice is still the old style, old habits, and unmoved, without the positive and vigorous spirit. How can you keep up with the pace of the court's progress? I just said that I didn't know whether it was happy or annoyed, and I should be annoyed, but if you think about it carefully, it is not a bad thing to find the problem early."
"From what happened in the Ministry of Justice's prison, it can be seen that the problem of your entire Ministry of Justice is that it follows the old customs and has a serious bureaucratic style. You should take this opportunity to rectify it. People like Zhongxing, Zhou Jizi, and bad eyelids should be eliminated, and no one should be left behind! All unemployed and incompetent officials are cleared. Don't be afraid that no one will be left. Veterans, and slightly disabled soldiers can be used as long as they can act. These people have good style and strong discipline, so there is no need for these old men to work well?!"
"Also, the whole country must establish a set of strict regulations. As long as the procedures are not handled, they will be handled strictly. If it is not rectified, your prison will become a free market, and your Ministry of Justice will become a cancer of laziness and decay!"
Zhu Youlang said very heavily. Lu Daqi was scolded and his sweat fell to the ground.
"And you, Huang Zongxi, what are your censors doing? Do the censors eat for free? The management of the Ministry of Justice's prison is so slack, and no one has discovered it? The supervision function cannot be played out, so what is the use of you?" After Lu Daqi was attacked, Zhu Youlang pointed his finger at Huang Zongxi again.
When Lu Daqi heard that the emperor scolded Huang Zongxi, he felt relieved: "Since someone blocked the gun, the emperor's anger is not something that ordinary people can bear..."
"As the chief officials, you two have an unshirkable responsibility. Each one is fined one year to serve as a warning. Three months, I will give you three months to rectify the style of the yamen. After three months, I will check it out myself. If you still look so immortal, you two will wait to go home and take your grandson."
