Five hundred and twenty-one chapters Nancheng maladministration
It is said that Lu Yuanguang has been invited to drinks a lot since he took up the lucrative position of Chongwen Sect's propaganda ambassador, but today it was the first time that he was invited to have a drink by a "big man" like Li You.
After drinking for three rounds, Li You asked Ambassador Lu: "What is the relationship between your Propaganda Department and the Nancheng Censor and the Military and Horse Department, both of whom are in Nancheng and have their own affairs?"
Lu Yuanguang drank a few glasses of wine, went away and replied very frankly: "Qian Xian's question seems to be a promotion to a lower official. The propaganda branch is a ninth-grade yamen, and it is also a jealous ninth-grade yamen. How dare you
careless?
Even the elders in the imperial court would have a headache when they saw the patrolling censor who was responsible for suppressing the ground, not to mention me, the ninth grade. The Propaganda Department was acting under the eyes of the Nancheng censor, and he really didn't dare to be slow to do anything, lest he
When it comes to picketing and impeachment, when trouble comes to your doorstep, you usually have to work hard to please."
One of Li You's purposes in wooing Lu Yuanguang was to find clues to deal with the Nancheng Censor and the Military and Horse Division. After all, the Propaganda Department was also in Nancheng, and it was also a local yamen, so it knew the situation better.
Among the five cities under his command, Nancheng and Zhongcheng have been unruly and unruly so far. They must seize the opportunity to rein in their power. Otherwise, if they continue like this, it will be fine for a short time, but over time, the other cities will also lose military morale.
Scattered.
After hearing what Ambassador Lu said, Li You asked insinuatingly: "You are making a lot of money every day, but the Nancheng Censor and the Military and Horse Division are not jealous?"
"So what if you have a hot eye? Besides, it is the Propaganda Branch that collects taxes, not other yamen. However, it is not that the Nancheng Procuratorate and the Military and Horse Department have no ways to collect money..."
When the key point arrived, Li You quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Ambassador Lu hesitated for a moment, but with the mentality of trying to please Li You and his dead Taoist friends, he continued to talk. Besides, the Nancheng Censor and the Soldiers and Horses Division were originally under Li You's jurisdiction, so it was too easy to conceal this matter.
If you can't hide it for fifteen years, you will get wind of it sooner or later.
"Of the five cities in the capital, only Nancheng belongs to the outer city. Most of the residents are merchants, craftsmen and civilians, and it is also a place where businessmen from other places gather. Our Propaganda Department collects money from goods, while Nancheng Procuratorate and Soldiers and Horses Division collect money from goods.
Collect it from people."
"The most common reason for them is to search for unemployed refugees. They search businessmen without any reason and make things difficult in every possible way. Their usual method is to threaten to deport them to their place of origin because of unclear roads. Those who are investigated can only swallow their anger and lose money to avoid disaster."
Mr. Li was furious when he heard this. He slapped the table and said: "There is such evil behavior under the emperor's feet! How can we tolerate it! How can we be so outrageous!"
I won’t mention the impact of this incident on his political reputation. People who don’t know the truth may think that he is covering up. If he is officially investigated and punished by the court for any reason, he will inevitably be punished for being ignorant and lax in his control.
And he still took the blame without knowing anything about it. This is what Mr. Li cannot tolerate the most.
Then Li You asked again: "Why didn't you cause any trouble if you were so bold?"
"They also have a choice when it comes to finding a businessman. Of course, they want to find someone who has no backing but a little wealth. Such people are timid and afraid of getting into trouble. They would rather lose money to avoid disaster when something happens."
The meticulous Li You was still confused, so he grabbed the details and continued to ask: "Then how do the Procuratorate and the Military and Horse Division know who of these out-of-town businessmen is an easy target?"
Ambassador Lu hesitated for a moment and then replied helplessly: "Businessmen always have to file tax returns. Our Propaganda Branch will know all the details. If there are any suitable ones, we will notify the Procuratorate..."
It’s really a reasonable division of labor. One uses the opportunity to file tax returns to find out the details. Anyone who pays taxes honestly without any favors must have no background; the other follows the chart and looks for risk-free targets for extortion... Mr. Li couldn’t help but accuse: "So you guys
There are also those who work for the tiger."
"You can't say that. How can a small ambassador from the Propaganda Department of Xiaguan dare to confront the dignified censor of the city? They can only do what they want him to do. How can he dare to offend him?
.Not only for subordinates, but also for predecessors. It has been an old practice over the years."
This is a long-standing shortcoming... Li You has already begun to think about how to clean up the bad government, eliminate hidden dangers and gain some reputation at the same time, it is not a bad thing.
The key is how to get the evidence and where to find the victim? What’s more, in this kind of pay-and-release trick, the victim may not have any solid evidence to prove that he or she has been asked for money, and it is easy to be denied and left alone.
.
Another difficulty is that the City Patrol Censor and the Military and Horse Division themselves are responsible for relevant responsibilities. Checking a few "suspected" people is obviously a very legal behavior, and it is difficult to determine whether it is a violation of regulations.
This little problem didn't stump Mr. Li, so he immediately came up with an idea. Society is governed by people, so what evidence can be stronger than witnessing and catching an action with your own eyes?
He then said to Lu Yuanguang: "I want to clear up the accumulated abuses. I also ask Ambassador Lu to help me."
Lu Yuanguang immediately understood that Li Qianxian was going to take advantage of Nancheng to establish his power. He was still thinking to himself just now. Li Qianxian asked in such detail. Could it be that he wanted to get a piece of the pie from Nancheng? It seems not so, and he was a little underestimated.
Li Jinxian’s character.
To help or not to help? Ambassador Lu thought about it quickly and agreed decisively: "I don't know how to do it if I want to be demoted?"
After all, Nancheng Yushi and the Military and Horse Division are Li Jinxian's subordinates, and their arms cannot twist his thigh. Moreover, Li Jinxian's relationship with the staff is extraordinary, which directly affects his future. This is no joke. Eunuch Duan is in the deep palace, so it may not be possible.
I can take care of him.
For example, if he was deliberately moved to Yunnan, Guizhou or the ends of the earth to be the county registrar, he would suffer a huge loss. So in any case, the wisest choice at the moment is to follow Mr. Li and not violate his whims.
Seeing that the other party was interested, Li You was not afraid of his tricks, "I want to fish and enforce the law, so I will leave the baiting to you!"
What does "fishing law enforcement" mean? Ambassador Lu doesn't know. But he knows the allusion of Jiang Taigong's fisherman taking the bait. Mr. Li means to put out the bait, and then wait for the Nancheng soldiers and horses to come to eat it, and finally have to kill people on the spot.
Gain all the stolen goods?
Then I heard Mr. Li ask: "Yesterday you let the businessman named Dai go. Do outsiders know that it has anything to do with me?"
Ambassador Lu replied: "The official's words are secretive, so it should not be spread. After all, our propaganda branch is not a criminal yamen, and there is no reason to detain people for a long time. It is normal to release people in custody."
Li You thought about it and decided to make the arrangement as realistic as possible, letting Dai Miaozhu serve as bait, and he led his followers to hide around Dai Miaozhu pretending to be a clerk, and then acted according to the situation.
When Ambassador Lu learned about Li Qianxian's thoughts, he couldn't help but sigh. In the public case novels, upright officials frequently visited privately to solve cases. It turned out that there was some basis for it. He originally thought it was all made up. If he thought about it more carefully, it would be really difficult to obtain evidence if this were not the case.
