Chapter 582 Shun Dynasty Major Case
When Liu Yu came back from outside, the officialdom of Huainan Province showed a tense situation. Although the new emperor had arrived before, he had never come out of the palace when the new emperor came, and no one was involved in local affairs, so they were careless.
But the Regent Liu Yu is not that easy to fool.
Liu Yu met with important officials from Huainan Province and some officials who accompanied the imperial carriage to Jiankang City in the side hall of the palace. These officials also understood that Liu Yu's reception was to understand the political direction of the Dashun Dynasty after he advanced south.
But Liu Yu didn't seem to want to see too many people. He just summoned several officials, asked about some information, and did not express too much opinions. Finally, these officials were nervous and relieved. But some were happy and some were worried, and Ma Yu, the county magistrate of Jiankang City, encountered trouble.
Ma Yu submitted a memorial to Liu Yu, which was sent from Huaibei Province. The person who wrote the memorial was Liao Mingsheng, who promoted Liu Yu to investigate and deal with the rebellious case of the officialdom in Huaibei Province. During the days when Liu Yu left, Liao Mingsheng had upended the officialdom in Huaibei Province. None of the people involved in the officialdom were left behind, and he investigated them all. Liao Mingsheng's methods of handling cases were also very radical. In other people's words, the methods were extremely cruel.
He used all the torture and confession, and it involved a lot of the case and even caused a life.
Liao Mingsheng's memorial was nominally submitted to the emperor, and he invited some of the people involved in this case, as well as the confessions and evidence obtained, but the memorial was handed over and intercepted by the county magistrate of Jiankang City. The name he used was that the King Lin was temporarily not in Jiankang City.
Liu Yubo said angrily: "What courage do you have to put down the memorials and not send them out within two months?"
Ma Yu was frightened by Liu Yu's momentum and knelt down and said, "The official... I don't want to commit too much murder..."
Because Liu Yu went south, local officials also gave more reasons to suppress some "not urgent" matters, and many of these matters were actually irrelevant. The main reason is that the current Shunchao administration is in Chang'an City, and Han Sheng is responsible for it. Even if the matters of all sizes and big things are reported to the new emperor, they must be transferred from Chang'an City. However, the case that Liao Mingsheng was responsible for was a bit special, because it was Liao Mingsheng who was directly appointed by Liu Yu, and Liao Mingsheng did not follow the path of Chang'an City. He directly reported the memorial to Jiankang City, which gave Ma Yu the opportunity to suppress it.
Liu Yu sneered and looked at Ma Yu who was trembling, and said in a cold tone: "Do you think life is too long? Do you dare to go against the emperor and suppress this case..."
"The officials dare not...the officials dare not..." Ma Yu kowtowed on the ground.
Liu Yu originally thought that Ma Yu must be part of the same party as King Su Zhe of Chu, otherwise how could he dare to suppress the report of the case? But thinking about it, it was not very reasonable.
The case is still in progress. Liao Mingsheng's investigation in Huaibei Province has not ended. He is still struggling in the two months after submitting the memorial. And because Liao Mingsheng has Liu Yu, even the dignitaries in Chang'an City dare not ask about it, let alone a small county magistrate of Jiankang City.
Liu Yu didn't say much, sat on a chair and looked through the memorial. In the memorial, Liao Mingsheng listed the details of the case and asked Liu Yu to agree. He expanded the interrogation of some people and said it was a request for instructions. In fact, many Liao Mingsheng was already conducting it. This memorial was more about reporting to Liu Yu about his progress in investigating the case, and there were not many places that needed approval.
"Have you ever reported this to the emperor?" Liu Yu held the memorial, his tone slightly eased, and asked Ma Yu.
Ma Yu said: "Since the imperial carriage entered Jiankang City, the lower officials have never even seen the emperor's face... they have no way to report..."
Liu Yu thought about it, too. Since he went south, Qier, the new emperor, is actually the kind of emperor who cares about nothing. Even if Ma Yu submits the memorial, there will be no result. The case is so big that neither Qier nor Xu Xuanzhu dares to make any decisions without authorization.
This seems to excuse Ma Yu, but Liu Yu also realized something. If the memorial is not submitted, he would not get the latest progress in the case in southern Xinjiang. Perhaps Ma Yu is Su Zhe's person, and he is thinking about suppressing the case first.
Liu Yu didn't say anything anymore. At this time, Qu Zhu came over to present some things. Liu Yu asked Ma Yu to wait outside first, and asked Qu Zhu to stay alone to talk to him.
"General, Liao Mingsheng, seems to have committed many misconducts in Huaibei Province, and has been impeached by many officials. Those impeached officials have been taken down by him without exception. Now, Huaibei Province does not dare to mention some oppositions, and no one is afraid of him..."
Liu Yu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked, "So what?"
Qu Zhu asked for instructions tentatively: "Super General should take his power and settle the hearts of local officials..."
Liu Yu smiled slightly and did not comment. In fact, when he used Liao Mingsheng, he already knew who he was. Liao Mingsheng didn't like wealth and was not interested in sex, but he had an almost crazy obsession with power. Such people do whatever they want to be promoted, and he is not the kind of fool. They will take advantage of opportunities and cling to the powerful. After getting the opportunity to be promoted, they will even focus on laying the superior Lu Pu.
This is a capable person.
But it's also a dangerous person.
Liu Yu valued this point, knowing that he would not be easily bribed, and knowing that he knew that he was aware of the current affairs, he asked him to investigate the case at all costs. After all, Su Zhe was a big trouble for Liu Yu. In order to rest assured, even if Liu Yu disrupted the officialdom in Huaibei Province, it was nothing to Liu Yu. In the face of power, Liu Yu would not have a compassionate heart for life and death.
Liu Yu asked Qu Zhu again and said, "What do you mean is that you think Liao Mingsheng did in Huaibei Province, isn't it right?"
Qu Zhu's face was a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean this, but... I have already heard criticism in the court now. I think that the general's use of such a minor official to build a prison will make the scholars in the world feel disappointed and the world will lose trust in the court. They believe that the general should stop at the right time and turn big things into small things."
Liu Yu did not think of scolding Qu Zhu. In fact, Qu Zhu and him were on the same front.
"Old Qu, some things you think are too simple and too kind." Liu Yu said meaningfully, "The reason why I keep my mind at Huaibei Province is to express to those thieves that I have the determination to fight them to the end, and this determination can even be done at all costs. Kill people, set fire, disrupt the officialdom, or even use a thief to deal with this case... You must know that behind this case is such a fierce beast. If you relax a little, he will swallow this great country and country..."
Liu Yu said this to show one thing.
