Chapter 1346 Liu Changqing's righteousness

The ministers discussed this court discussion very fiercely and expressed their opinions.

But setting the capital is of great importance and it is impossible to make a decision today.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yuan picked up the bamboo slips at the right time and threw them to the Wang Case a little heavier: "Okay."

The discussion stopped and the scene quickly quieted.

Xiao Yuan said: "This matter cannot be decided in one day. Let's do this, and order the county magistrates and all officials above the third rank to set the capital and give a memorial to each person."

This is equivalent to voting.

"I will follow the king's orders carefully-" The ministers had no objection.

It was almost noon, and Xiao Yuan was about to go to court: "Do you have something to report?"

"I have a memorial to start the report."

Liu Changqing stood up.

"Talk." Xiao Yuan said concisely.

Liu Changqing went straight to the topic: "In the previous case of the canal transportation, the empress has clearly investigated it. Both the human and physical evidence are there. This is the file of this case. Please check it out."

As he spoke, he also took out a large stack of official documents from the cuffs of the official uniform and raised his hands high.

The attendant took it and placed it respectfully on the king's case.

This official document has a lot of contents, but it describes the matter in detail, and some of the key points are clearly written.

Xiao Yuan checked it very seriously.

The greed of water and ink was discovered by Prime Minister Liu Yuzhi, but to investigate corruption, no one would be more suitable than Liu Changqing. This person is a guy who is not afraid of power, is upright and only believes in the truth.

Not to mention the network behind the Cao Transport Department, even if the monarch is wrong, he will block the door and advise him everywhere.

He also gave it to him at that time, and used the queen's handwritten warrant.

Xiao Yuan knew about this.

The Qin State originated in a bitter and cold place in the northern border, and was mostly northern infantry. When the Jiangnan region was not recovered, it did not make much work on the water and land transportation department, and the canal transportation was established soon.

But its importance is undoubtedly the key to transporting troops and grain, but also an important link in economic development.

Xiao Yuan almost didn't say a word, and sometimes he would turn it back when he saw it.

The entire court hall was very quiet, and only the sound of him checking the sect was left at the scene.

All the ministers knew the importance of the grain transportation, not to mention that this matter was related to the front line, so after the incident, even though Liu Changqing held on and refused to let go, no one dared to protect the big chat.

Therefore, many people have been involved.

Especially the government offices along the river.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Yuan finally finished reading it. He had already frowned, put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Liu Changqing and said, “Let’s talk about it.”

"Yes." Liu Changqing didn't say a word of nonsense: "In the past, I was ordered to supervise the transportation of food, grass and weapons. When I returned to the capital, I visited the Grain Transportation Department along the waterway. After several months of investigation, I found a major corruption case."

"The Jiangzhou grain transport envoy was full of personal pockets, and the imperial court protected the grain for a total of 2.7 million taels of silver, which caused the waterway to be silted, the waterway was not good, and the transportation was slow. The labor of the fiber household was deducted, and the lives of people were ignored. He beaten to death and complained to 26 civilians."

"Jiangzhou's jurisdiction is under the jurisdiction of Yunshui County. He colluded with the grain transport envoy and refused to accept the fibre household complaints, but instead beat him into a bad person and embezzled and accepted bribes of 100,000 taels of silver."

"The county magistrate of Yunshui and the county magistrate Bo each received bribes of 50,000 taels of silver."

"The Hanchuan Transportation Envoy and Jiangzhou Grain Transport Envoy were in harmony and stole 80,000 stones of military ration on the grounds of a shipwreck."

What!?

Hearing this, many ministers were shocked. This man was so brave that he dared to move military rations!

Don’t you know that at that time, the soldiers were bleeding from the battlefield, and Qin Ling was in a fierce battle.

Food and grass are related to military and national affairs.

A minister plucked up the courage to look at Xiao Yuan's face quietly.

The latter's face was gloomy and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Before this was over, Liu Changqing continued: "The officials of the Hanchuan canal transport warehouses colluded with water bandits and sneaked into the Yangtze River waters, sank ships at the bottom of the water, and stole a total of 470,000 taels of silver."

"The official of the grain transport warehouse has already confessed according to the fact that the news of the money was given by the Jiangzhou grain transport envoy."

"Hanchuan County Government, county magistrate, and ruthless, all embezzled and accepted bribes, totaling 110,000 taels of silver."

The more everyone listened, the more frightened they became, while Xiao Yuan became more angry and was on the verge of being frightened.

It’s just that after so many years of fighting, he has been the leader for many years, and now he is no longer the same as when he was young.

Liu Changqing was also reporting: "The Jiangzhou Water Supervision Order Order was like an ant to the gang. He falsely pleaded with the snake in the investigation of corruption cases and used his power to obstruct it. After verification, he received bribes of 150,000 taels of silver and colluded with the Cao Transportation Envoy."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan glanced at Dou Jianzhang.

The Water Supervision Order, as the name suggests, is an official who supervises water conservancy and is affiliated with the Supervision Bureau.

The latter hurriedly stepped out of the line, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "I am guilty. Please ask the king to understand. Although the Jiangzhou Water Supervision Envoy was appointed by the Supervision Bureau, it is actually the official office of the Grain Transportation Bureau."

Xiao Yuan waved his hand and signaled him to get up.

"Thank you, King." Dou Jianzhang stood up tremblingly, returned to the train, and couldn't help but lift up his official clothes and wipe his forehead.

His fear is that he was glad that he did not rashly at the beginning, otherwise he would be unable to protect himself.

This Liu Changqing is really cruel! Dou Jianzhang felt a little slander in his heart.

"The Jiangling Grain Transport Office was instructed by the Grain Transport Envoy to seek personal gain and protect the Grain Transport regardless of water transportation."

"Jiangling Lord Bo."

"."

Liu Changqing talked for a long time, one by one, no matter the size of the official position, just one word, do it!

"The above officials investigated are all conclusive and there is no omission."

Xiao Yuan was silent for a moment, closed his eyes, suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart, and after a moment, he slowly said: "Where are these corrupt officials now?"

"After the previous verification, all the officials who committed the crime were taken back to Qinzhou and were sent to prison." Liu Changqing said: "Because the grain transport officer is of the third rank, although I received the instructions of the Queen and had the power to investigate, I did not dare to kill him privately."

The crime of Jiangzhou's grain transport envoy was not just corruption and bribery. He also withdrew the wages of the filibuster household and beat the civilians to death. In Liu Changqing's words, it was just a careless person's life and no way of taking the king.

In addition, as the chief official of the grain transport, he also instructed his subordinates to join local governments and join forces with the rivers.

More importantly, he ignored the water transportation of food, grass and weapons, and under his series of operations, the front-line army was in danger and seriously missed the opportunity for war.

To put it bluntly, it can be completely convicted of treason.

"The three tribes of Yi were sentenced to death by Jiangzhou, and other officials who committed crimes were dealt with by law."

Xiao Yuan's voice was cold: "I have been ordered by the king. During the war, all local officials need to cooperate with military operations. What's more, dogs and thieves interfere in the matter of food, grass, weapons, and water transportation, which delays our army's fighting opportunities and ignores the soldiers who fight bloody on the front line. They are really not allowed to be punished!"

All the ministers lowered their bodies.

Xiao Yuan continued to ask: "Have all the water bandits who colluded with the government?"
Chapter completed!
