When things got to this point, Li Xiao basically had nothing to do. Lu Xiangsheng came to take over all this. After all, he was the head of the Inspectorate. In theory, this matter was under his control.

The chief envoy was half frozen to death and wanted to take over Lu Xiangsheng's review. The scribe Niu was even worse. He was doused with water and froze alive for two hours. After he was rescued, he had a high fever and died within three days!

Principal Ma and Director Ma were imprisoned for review. After asking for confessions, Lu Xiangsheng would dig out those corrupt officials like digging carrots. Then, depending on the circumstances, he would bring them to justice. What is certain is that Jinzhou's officialdom will

An unprecedented earthquake occurs. Many officials will be dismissed and many people will be promoted.

Cheng Tiezhu went to Jinzhou Waterworks, which was a good way out. After all, people cannot live without water, and this job will never go out of style.

Everything seemed perfect, the bullies were punished, and the corrupt officials were investigated. The honest people who were bullied finally found their jobs. But Li Xiao couldn't be happy!

In such a big world, such a thing is definitely not an exception. With the help of a group of comrades, Cheng Tiezhu risked his life to get in front of him. What about the others? Are others so lucky? You must know that as a commander, Li Xiao's

The security was not as strict as usual. If someone wanted to get close to Li Xiao, they would be caught by the guards if they were lucky, and beaten to death by bullets if they were unlucky.

So what about other people who have been wronged? What options do they have? How can their justice be developed?

Everything turned into a ball of mush in Li Xiao's head. He lay on the special train with his eyes closed, and had a strange dream all night from Jinzhou to the capital. He became the prince of hell, and tried cases all day long. He had himself

Become a detective and clean up all kinds of injustices.

When Li Xiao woke up in the morning, his mouth felt bitter. The strong bad breath made him sick!

After getting off the train, I went directly to Sun Chengzong's residence. I have developed the habit over the years to always ask Sun Chengzong for advice when thinking about things I don't understand. Sun Chengzong is not Li Xiao's opponent in a battle, but he can really control the people's hearts when it comes to governing the world. Next year

Seventy-year-old Sun Chengzong is definitely a master who has attained enlightenment and become an immortal.

Sun Chengzong got up very early and played a set of traditional Wu Qin Xi. As soon as he sat down at the dining table to have breakfast, Li Xiao opened the door and came in.

"Have you eaten?" Sun Chengzong glanced at Li Xiao, and his greeting was no different from that of a farmer in the countryside.

"I haven't eaten!" Li Xiao told the truth. He came to see Sun Chengzong after getting off the train. He really didn't have time to eat.

"Sit down and eat something together, Zhijie, prepare a meal for the commander."

After a while, breakfast was served, steamed golden steamed buns, accompanied by rice porridge and pickles. A peeled tea egg was placed on the plate, and a few slices of ham were added as extras for Li Xiao.

Sun Chengzong was old and could not handle greasy food. His table was full of porridge and side dishes!

"Have you finished the business in Jinzhou?" When eating with Li Xiao, Sun Chengzong had already abandoned the ancient adage of eating without talking and sleeping without speaking. Talking while eating has become the norm. However, the stubborn old man stubbornly retained the meal-sharing system. I don't know why.

Because of mysophobia, he still persists a little bit.

"After killing two people, the rest is left to Lu Xiangsheng. It's OK to be angry for a while, but if you don't let go of the right to handle the case, you are overstepping your authority."

"Hey! Not to mention, there has been some progress in these years. The imperial court has its own rules, and that is, everyone performs his or her duties. It's okay for you to take care of military affairs, but if you rush into the trial, it will be a mess.

It's good if you leave the matter to Lu Xiangsheng." Sun Chengzong admired Li Xiao's actions. Sun Chengzong was selectively deaf when it came to killing those two people. Perhaps, he didn't care at all how many people Li Xiao killed.

"Speaking of which, I should be happy. The bad guys have been punished and the good guys have received their due treatment. But I am still very frustrated. The Ming Dynasty is so big. There are so many things like this, and it is even rarer for it to actually come to me. Like this

Come on, what is the difference between our current court and the court in the Chongzhen and Tianqi years?" Li Xiao put down the tea eggs he took a bite of and felt a little depressed.

"Yes! This kind of thing will happen tomorrow in all sixty-three provinces in the south, seven and north. It is impossible to expect you to catch one today and I will catch another tomorrow. This needs to be dealt with from the system, and it cannot be solved in a short time. Perhaps, it will take several generations.

Even humans can't solve it." Sun Chengzong also sighed, it is so difficult to eradicate the stubborn diseases accumulated over thousands of years.

"Then let this kind of thing continue? A lot of corrupt officials have been dug out in Jinzhou, and there are not many other places. You don't know, when I entered the cafeteria of Ci'an Primary School, I almost vomited. If I really give it to the children

If we eat such things, can the children still grow well?

What are children? Children are the future of my Ming Dynasty!" As soon as Li Xiao put down his chopsticks, he couldn't eat at all.

"This kind of thing is not good. We need to draw a red line for officials. And tell everyone that anyone who touches this red line will definitely die. If necessary, kill a group of people. You often do this kind of thing." Sun Chengzong blew the contents of the spoon.

Porridge, and then drank it in one gulp.

"But killing people can't solve the problem. Even Zhu Yuanzhang's peeling off the skin and the grass can't scare the officials from corruption. During the Hongwu period, tens of thousands of people were killed at every turn. The Ming Dynasty has finally settled down, and that kind of tragic change cannot happen again."

"Don't worry, it's just killing chickens to scare monkeys. You won't kill too many people!" Sun Chengzong thought about the bloodshed during the Hongwu period, and he was still frightened. However, he believed that the world had just been stable for a few years, and people still wanted to live a good life!

Corrupt officials are also human beings, and they are also smart people. When the risks are obviously greater than the benefits, they will not risk their lives to get a little money. After all, there are many ways to make money, but this is the only life.

After listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Li Xiao picked up his chopsticks and continued eating. There was no other way now but to draw a red line first, and anyone who touched it would definitely die. As for cleaning up the officialdom, it definitely cannot be done in a day or two.

Seeing Li Xiao picking up chopsticks to eat, Sun Chengzong suddenly said something that stunned Li Xiao. "Actually, when the country is at our current stage, it would be a good thing to have more corrupt officials."

"What?" Li Xiao was afraid that he heard wrongly. Could it be that these words really came from Sun Chengzong's mouth? Could it be that the old man has become old and confused?

"You heard me right, I am saying that for the long-term stability of the country, I still need some corrupt officials. These corrupt officials can help us unite people." Sun Chengzong took a bite of small pickles and chewed them in his mouth.

.

"Corrupt officials...can still unite people's hearts?" Li Xiao asked with difficulty. He couldn't figure out how corrupt officials could still unite people's hearts.

"Let me ask you first, why does the imperial court have so many officials?" Sun Chengzong looked at Li Xiao with interest, as if he was looking at another student several years ago.

"Govern the world!" Li Xiao said without hesitation.

"Yes, but it's not accurate. The correct way to say it is to govern the people of the world! There are good people among the people, and there are naturally bad people. But in the world, there are not many good people, and there are also not many bad people. The vast majority of people are neither good nor bad. Do you think

If you hit him, he's a good guy; if you kick him, he'll be a bad guy.

If officials want to manage the people of the world, how can they only use good people?

Therefore, we must use good officials and honest officials. We must also use bad and dirty officials. The world is too big to be generalized."

Sun Chengzong taught earnestly, and Li Xiao listened in a daze. It seemed that... what the old fox said made some sense. How could a corrupt official still unite people's hearts? This is too funny!

"Let's talk about corrupt and bad officials, such as the Principal Ma you met in Jinzhou. A humble official actually did such a big thing. Can you say that he has no skills or ability?

The skills are there and the ability is there. Why do those parents have to be exploited and send their children to Ci'an School?"

"I don't know!" Li Xiao shook his head blankly. He had never thought about this issue at all.

"That's because Ci'an School is the best among the 53 schools in Jinzhou. The students who were admitted to middle school last year accounted for 30% of the candidates in Jinzhou. Therefore, parents are willing to let their children go to school for their future.

After suffering this hardship, can you say that Principal Ma is useless?"

"Uh...!" Li Xiao had nothing to say. According to the principal's performance appraisal, Principal Ma was qualified anyway.

"Principal Ma has been the principal since the founding of Ci'an School. In the past seven or eight years, he has been able to manage the school like this, which can be regarded as a model for our Daming School. His bad thing is that he can't control himself.

His men and his son eventually led to this catastrophic disaster, which landed him in jail.

However, he still played his last role! After catching Principal Ma, Jinzhou people rejoiced. Walking on the street, when people mention you, they all think that you are their great savior. Your popularity in the hearts of Jinzhou people is,

has reached an unprecedented height.

Because you punished Principal Ma, the people of Jinzhou will support you. Tell me, has this played a role in uniting people's hearts?"

"Uh...!" Li Xiao still had nothing to say, because what Sun Chengzong said was true. Now in Jinzhou City, Li Xiao is indeed regarded as a Bodhisattva, and many people put three sticks of incense under Li Xiao's portrait.

What I know is that people express their admiration for Li Xiao, but those who don’t know think that Li Xiao is gone.

"So, corrupt officials need to be used, and bad officials also need to be used. When employing people in the court, they must make the best use of their talents. In fact, the most difficult thing is to put the right people in the right positions. The so-called official administration is actually a guideline

A true article about people using people.”

One morning many years ago, Sun Chengzong once said these words to a young man. Within a few years, this young man became the emperor of heaven and earth. He followed the teacher's words and used Wei Zhongxian, the biggest traitor and sycophant.
