Qin Mubai had long heard from Li Ke that Quan Wanji had a strong and upright temperament and a bit of a hot temper. To be honest, he was fearless and dared to fight with others even if he raised his head. He once served as the censor Zhongcheng.
He is responsible for supervising the clean government and impeaching hundreds of officials, and his job is to offend people. He also once served as the governor of a local state and county, and he has always hated the neglect of duty and corruption of local officials.
During the Zhenguan Dynasty, because Li Shimin was good at accepting remonstrances and encouraged them, there were many admonishers like Wei Zheng who dared to resist the dragon scale. Quan Wanji was one of them. Even the emperor respected and feared such admonishers.
Love and hate.
I had only heard about it, but Qin Mubai saw it with his own eyes this time. Seeing Quan Wanji's attitude, he wished he could bring Liao Lirong to justice now, and then follow the clues to find out the culprits of all crimes. But in this way, it would be a warning.
, prone to bad things.
So Qin Mubai hurriedly advised: "Mr. Quan, calm down. There is a problem with Liao Lirong in all likelihood, but we don't have to rush to take him now. Mr. Quan also served as an official in a local state and county, and he knows that officials in local states and counties have always been
Are they interconnected with branches, right? If we go to take Liao Lirong right now, the ground in Jiangzhou will be like a thunder falling, and everyone will be in danger. Now is a critical period for disaster relief and people's relief, so we must take the overall situation into account
It’s more important. It’s better to endure it for the time being and investigate secretly, find more sufficient evidence, investigate the case more clearly, and then settle the accounts after the settlement of the victims is properly handled!”
Quan Wanji had an angry look on his face. After listening to Qin Mubai's words, he took a long breath and nodded: "The general's words are reasonable. At the moment, we should really focus on the overall situation. In any case,
The lives and deaths of tens of thousands of victims are far more important than dealing with those corrupt officials who are worse than animals. Let’s send the heads of these evil thieves for now! However, this matter must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible. By the way, General
Have you reported this matter to Your Highness?"
"Not yet." Qin Mubai said calmly without changing his expression, "His Highness has been busy rescuing people all day long, and he lives and eats with those officials. I'm worried that after I tell His Highness this news, it will affect his mood in doing things.
The gentleman also knows that His Highness has been grounded for more than half a year, and finally has a chance to use his fists and do something. If you tell him these things, it will definitely distract his energy and affect his motivation. Moreover, this matter is just the beginning.
We will inform His Highness as soon as we have conclusive evidence."
"It makes sense." Quan Wanji nodded, "Then, let His Highness focus on disaster relief and appeasement of the people! You and I will investigate the case secretly! We will inform His Highness the King of Wu after the evidence is conclusive.
Get someone to handle the case. You and I are neither the censor nor the imperial envoy of Dali Temple handling the case, but the King of Wu was authorized by His Majesty the Emperor to "make arbitrary decisions when the situation arises as if I were personally involved". You and I will report the results directly to His Highness when we arrive.
It’s also much simpler and clearer.”
"That's very good. It's Mr. Yiquan's!" Qin Mubai cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Quan Wanji cut his hands behind his back and let out a long sigh: "What a misfortune for the country! I didn't expect that our prosperous and peaceful Zhenguan Tang Dynasty would have such bad officials. It is really a crime that cannot be punished!"
In the next few days, Qin Mubai asked Li Ke to find various excuses to bring him close to him. As a result, the responsibility of "investigating the case" actually fell entirely on Quan Wanji. Qin Mubai
Intentionally or unintentionally, some clues were revealed to him, like the rice used to fill floods and embankments, which was the damage done by officials to mend holes; the forged suicide note was probably written by Liao Lirong, because only he and the deceased Zhu Chengwen had the best relationship.
Mature, most likely to imitate Zhu Chengwen's handwriting; finally, the head of the governor Cheng Songnian was finally traced. When Quan Wanji learned that he had a close relationship with Shengnan Hou, he realized that the case was a huge one---
-It concerns the prince!
Almost everyone in the whole court knew that the prince's wet nurse had a younger brother, who had not learned anything since he was a child, but he had a very close relationship with the prince, and the two secretly had an affair.
