The markets of the Wei Empire generally have special areas in cities, small counties generally have only one city, larger cities have two cities, while national big cities have four cities.

There are four cities in Chang'an City, and the business and trade are very prosperous. Guo Peng is even thinking about the opportunity to abolish the curfew to promote night markets, enrich the people's spare time, and increase income.

However, in this wave, people who committed crimes appeared in four cities in Chang'an City.

When the investigation team investigated these vendors, they also found that the prices set by these vendors for goods exceeded the amount stipulated by the law when they operated business.

When asked about the people around, most people were resentful and said that they had informed the mayor of this matter, but there was no change and the price even increased.

The mayor, who was responsible for stabilizing prices and prohibiting malicious price increases, did not respond to this after receiving the report, and did not promptly stop the illegal actions of these merchants.

After further investigation, the investigation team found that the mayors of the four cities in Chang'an City had accepted bribes.

So the four mayors were taken down and removed from office on the spot, and were thrown into prison and waited for the trial of the three departments.

According to Guo Peng's current anger, it is likely that he will be sentenced to death and will also involve his family.

Other officials in the market were also investigated together, and the officials in the market were almost wiped out by whether they knew about it and whether they did not report it.

The families of these people will also be implicated.

The Chang'an County Magistrate was held accountable for this and was fined for half a year. The official in charge of the matter in the county government was removed from office and questioned.

The Chang'an County Magistrate was trembling and worried that the fire would hit him, so he quickly ordered the county government to organize a special working group to comprehensively investigate merchants in Chang'an City that did not set the price of goods according to the law.

After the Yongzhou investigation team arrived, the matter was taken over by the investigation team.

The four markets in Chang'an were soon taken over by county officials and conducted a very comprehensive investigation. After investigation, it was found that twenty-six merchants had such measures, implicating more than 70 stores.

No, I said, search the house, ask for guilt, put it into jail, and serve one-stop.

Some people are very arrogant and report that they are the ones in the backstage, a county magistrate, a prefecture official, or even a central official.

But the investigation team doesn't care about it, the investigation team will only feel extremely happy.

Because they have political achievements to make.

I’m not afraid of you having a backstage, but I’m afraid of you not having a backstage.

In this environment, reporting your backstage will save a lot of trouble for the officials of the investigation team and directly trace the root cause.

Too high official position?

Too high social status?

Political relations are too complicated?

It doesn't matter. If you report to the Sansi, you will naturally sort it out and summarize it in front of the emperor. What should be done is the emperor's decision, not their decision. They just need to find out the problems, record the problems, and make sure there are no omissions.

The rest are all about the three officials of Luoyang and the emperor himself, which the emperor said before they set off.

Don't be afraid, you don't want to deal with anyone directly. When you encounter something you find difficult and dare not take action, tell me and I'll deal with them.

The problem of corruption is always a sharp blade in the hands of the emperor. No matter when, as long as the emperor wants to do something, he can talk about corruption. Whether it is killing officials or killing giant merchants, he will make sure to make a profit without losing money.

Of course, it is best for the emperor to do this kind of thing. If a little brother can't help but want to show off, then he must think about it. Being a cruel official may not have a good end.

If you don’t be a cruel official, just be a sound tube, then there will be no problem.

The more they check and the more they deal with, the greater their contributions they will be and the greater their chances of being promoted.

So all the county magistrates, county magistrates, celebrities around the state magistrates, brother-in-laws, sons of the county magistrates, etc. were found and investigated.

Those who found the problem were directly uprooted and traced the root cause, and those who examined the problem clearly, and sent it to the three departments of Luoyang.

Against the backdrop of the restriction of the power of local officials, the state governors and county magistrates only have administrative power and status, but when facing such a thing, they are quite powerless.

I can only expect that such a thing will not involve them, and I don’t dare to think about saving people or pleading for love.

After Chen Gong heard about Mao Jie's situation, he was very wise to say that he couldn't get out of illness.

Anyway, he could be sure that his hands were very clean, and his family in Luoyang were also quite clean. His tribe members were strictly restricted by him to operate land, operate land, not engage in business, and were not allowed to eat anyone and take whoever they were.

Under his strict control, he has no problem with himself, so he will definitely not lose his status and will be fined for a few months at most.

He knew very well that under the current system of the Wei Empire, when encountering corruption among officials, he would have to ensure that he was clean and there would be no problem.

As for the officials around him, he could even rest assured that they were not those who were summoned by him.

The problem lies with the Central Ministry of Personnel, in the Ministry of Finance, in the Ministry of Justice, not with him.

Only a small part of the appointment and removal of officials was in his hands. Most officials were appointed and removed by the Ministry of Personnel. The judicial power and fiscal power had nothing to do with him.

If this happens, the state governor will be held accountable, and that state governor will be too unfair.

The reason why Mao Jie was fined was that someone around him did not pay attention to his hands and even hid him. He found out the results immediately and then gave them to the investigation team, which basically ensured that he had no problems.

As for those other people, whether they die or live, they have nothing to do with him.

Chen Gong was lucky. The officials summoned by Chen Gong himself did not commit any crimes, so Chen Gong could basically escape unscathed. However, there were some problems with the Yongzhou legal system and financial system, and many people were found to be found.

If you check this to the end, you don’t know how many people will be forced to fall to the ground.

At the end of December, not long before the New Year, the corruption case in Liangzhou was the first to announce the way to deal with it.

One hundred and twenty-six officials were beheaded, and more than twenty people in Liangzhou's legal system and financial system were beheaded.

All the officials who committed the crime were killed, no matter how much they were guilty, they were beheaded, all their families were arrested and exiled, their property was confiscated, and there was a very special punishment.

After their still alive family members were exiled, they could only live with salted bibimbap throughout their lives, and they were not allowed to eat anything else. They just ate salted bibimbap like this, and they had to work hard to farm in the farming area, and they ate until they died.

When Chen Gong heard about it, he sighed and shook his head.

I feel that the bigger the local official is, the less interesting it is.

Because of the lack of power and the restriction of power, a high-ranking official like him has a very limited deterrence to local officials. If something really happens, it will be difficult for him to control the situation.

The Fa Cao in Yongzhou spoke louder than he said.

However, people like Mao Jie and Chen Gong joined the Guo Wei Group earlier and generally have deep relationships with senior officials in the central government.

Under the system of the Guo-Wei Empire, any official who has a relationship in the central government will fart more loudly than others in the local area.

In other words, although these local high-ranking officials have limited power, they have a good relationship with those who truly hold power and have a backstage, so these local bureaucrats dare not really go against them, so as not to be targeted by the forces behind them and threaten their future career.

Everyone cooperates with each other, hello, hello everyone.

But if it doesn't matter if it's in the central government, it's not easy to talk to.

For example, Xian Yufu has nothing to do with the central government, and he is not able to stay in Youzhou. Although he has been the governor of Youzhou for almost ten years, his voice is not loud at all and he dares not speak loudly.

This is a relatively awkward situation.

Chen Gong did not have such concerns. He should not have too deep relationships in the central government. The relationship between him and Cao Cao is well-known.

Who is Cao Cao?

Everyone knows it, so there is no need to say more.

So Chen Gong knew very well that as long as he cooperated honestly, there would be no problem. It would be impossible for all the officials below to be killed.

This is the first time he has discovered that such strict restrictions on power is actually a good thing.

But the more this happens, the more he yearns for the central government.

Local power first, it is meaningless to stay in the local area. It is better to go to the central government. Only by going to the central government can you truly grasp power and gain power under the eyes of the emperor.

Originally, Chen Gong was also helping Guo Peng to advise him on military affairs. If he had not been temporarily short of a governor of Yongzhou and was kicked out, he would not have stayed in Yongzhou as governor until now.

Originally, the power of the governor of Yongzhou was quite strong, but after Guo Peng ascended the throne and became emperor, the power of the governor began to tighten on a large scale and the central power began to expand on a large scale.

This has led to the situation where local officials are now squeezing their heads and going to the central government.

In Chen Gong's opinion, this large-scale investigation into corruption may not be a bad thing. At least if he can perform better, he might ask Cao Cao to help with the operation to see if he can be transferred to the central government.

Since Guo Peng became emperor, Chen Gong has never given up on his plan to enter the central government.

The turmoil was tight some time ago, and the old ministers from Qingyan and Yanzhou were hit hard, and Chen Gong temporarily stopped.

But the current anti-corruption action may be another opportunity. If we can seize it, how cool it would be to transfer it from the local government to the central government's real power department?

So when the investigation team investigated the case, Chen Gong directly retreated and stayed in the door. The investigation team did whatever they wanted, investigated how they wanted, and whether they arrested or killed people, he cooperated.

I hope His Majesty the Emperor can see him, see him so loyal, and then do well, transfer him to the central government, and stop staying in Yongzhou. Faced with endless things that are always endless and have endless troubles.

By the way, how did this wave of anti-corruption moves be carried out?

Your Majesty the Emperor would not just do a wave of anti-corruption actions for no reason, right?

With so many people falling to the ground, it doesn’t seem like they are just playing around with it.

The court must have made some big moves.
