In order to prevent his official team from quickly becoming corrupted, Tang Mo tried his best. The secret service was only one part of it. A series of methods of self-examination, self-investigation, self-correction, and self-cleansing allowed the officials of the Tang Empire to
It is much more difficult for officials in other countries to do.
Despite this, the corruption of officials is still inevitable. This is the dark side of human nature, which is more difficult to look at than the sunshine.
Liu San's investigation this time was just a case of drunk driving. It happened that Zhang Shi, who was investigating, had not committed any other crimes, so there seemed to be no problem.
In fact, just a few days ago, something like this happened in Linshui: investigators from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were ordered to investigate a corruption case involving an official.
The official was supposed to be taken away to assist in the investigation, but as soon as several Ministry of Internal Affairs cars stopped in the yard, the official under investigation jumped from the building and fell to his death in front of the investigators' car.
.
Now things got serious: this kind of thing was reported directly to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty according to regulations. Tang Mo was furious and directly ordered the relevant departments to investigate the matter thoroughly.
As a result, many things could no longer be concealed, and the whole situation became increasingly out of control. The names of those involved were revealed, and the total number of bribers and bribe takers was over a hundred.
At the very beginning, there was an anti-corruption storm within the Tang Empire. Relevant officials were dismissed one after another, some were sentenced, and some were executed.
All the way up, even an old minister who had followed Tang Mo since the Bunas era was reprimanded by His Majesty the Emperor in person.
Later, several influential businessmen in Linshui were arrested. At first, everyone thought it was nothing serious. At most, they would just find a few scapegoats and pay a fine.
But soon everyone discovered that things were not that simple. No matter how many activities these wealthy businessmen tried, they could not save their mainstay from prison.
Then the executive department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to clean up these wealthy families, and the whole family was implicated, and no one was spared.
The cruelty of the Tang Empire in this regard once again exceeded people's imagination. Only then did everyone recall that the Tang Empire had zero tolerance for collusion between officials and businessmen and corruption.
A few businessmen who had fled abroad had not had time to rejoice in their own wisdom for a few days before the Tang Empire's iron-blooded revenge followed them as they fled.
Within half a month, a businessman who had fled to Sussus was inexplicably beaten to death in the street in front of his home.
An elf noble who fled back to the country even appealed to Yang Mu I, but he did not escape the disaster: he was poisoned to death in his own home. Yang Mu I was still sending a message to the Tang Empire to plead for mercy, but the message had just been sent out.
, the news that the man was poisoned was sent to Yang Mu I, who was so angry that he almost dropped the telegraph machine.
When the last businessman who corrupted the officials of the Tang Empire was found hanging from the beam of his home, the whole thing came to an end.
People were really panicked in those days. Everyone was worried that they would be retaliated by the field personnel of the Tang Empire's intelligence department and die inexplicably in an inexplicable place.
After Liu San sent the report about Zhang Shi back to the archives of his superior department, he returned to his office. As an investigator, he was busy every day and was not popular most of the time.
However, those who are familiar with them know very well that this group of people is not interested in the problem and not the person. Their job is to ensure that officials do not abuse their power, oppress the people, and cause the civilians to suffer.
The officials were so nervous when they saw them, and the common people felt so relieved when they saw them. Seeing the country getting better day by day, Liu San felt that his work was meaningful.
Because the time was so short, the names of their generation were very contemporary. The people who named them at that time were not highly educated, so their names were very weird.
Many people are named after numbers, and some were named by their teachers in school just to make their names sound nicer to them.
Some people stubbornly believed that names were given by parents and elders and should not be changed at will. In the end, they were retained and are still used today.
Therefore, among the middle-level officials of the Tang Empire, the names of middle-aged people are basically not very pleasant. The names of young people are slightly better, and most of them have been changed in school.
For example, Liu San's partner Zhao Hai sounds pretty good at first glance... But Zhao Hai was born and raised in Sishui, and went to college in Tongcheng. Where has he ever seen the sea? So the sea in his name is 80%
It was the teacher at school who found it for me.
"What's for dinner?" Liu San tugged at his collar and asked Zhao Hai, the follower who was sorting out documents and filing for today's work, who had never seen the sea.
"In the evening? Boss, I have something to do tonight." The young man scratched his hair shyly, his face full of stories.
"Hey! There is an enemy situation." Liu San was busy with Zhang Shi's investigation and was in a good mood. He smiled and looked at his little follower: "Tell me, are you going to visit Chang'an or Sijixiang?"
These two restaurants are relatively good places in Sishui City, and a meal is not cheap. Under normal circumstances, people are not willing to go there.
But if you are taking a girl to solidify your relationship, that's another matter. Anyway, they, the public servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, can enjoy the welfare housing provided by the Tang Dynasty Empire and spend half a month's salary to squander it. It's not
What an unacceptable thing.
"Look what you said, if I go to visit Chang'an, you won't be able to investigate me?" Zhao Hai giggled, he couldn't hide his happiness.
"That girl from last time?" Liu San's Bagua fire was burning brightly.
"Well, she finally agreed to go out with me for a walk, so I won't eat with you tonight." Zhao Hai felt embarrassed and gave the thirty-eight-year-old single Liu Sanyi a knife.
It hurts, it hurts so much! Liu San deliberately pretended to be distressed and tapped Zhao Hai with his hand: "I didn't expect that you, a thick-browed and big-eyed person, would also betray me! Alas..."
Liu Hai didn't answer this sentence. Almost everyone in the department knew that Liu San actually had a sweetheart. A nurse from Sishui Hospital.
Two years ago, she died unexpectedly when she was transferred to Fengjiang to study field medical treatment. Liu San and she were originally going to get married that year. Since then, Liu San has not been looking for a partner and is single now.
Although he never mentioned the matter again and often pretended to be indifferent, everyone knew that he had not given up yet.
There was silence in the office for a long time...and then, there was an imperceptible sound of Liu San inhaling.
