I can clearly explain how this thing came about, but it just appeared in front of everyone in such a grandiose manner.
This incident naturally caused a wave of commotion and discussion. After Wu saw this at the gate of the unit last time, Dang even ordered someone to open the three boxes, and then the dazzling silver appeared in front of everyone. .
"Wow! That's a lot of money."
"Yes, I'm afraid there are no less than 1 taels."
"What on earth does this mean? What's the matter with taking so much cash and leaving it at the gate of our Supervision Department all morning?"
"Yes, yes"
"Which official turned himself in?"
"But it has already exceeded 1 taels of silver. I am afraid that if he surrenders himself, the crime will not be too light."
The voices of discussion are one after another.Although it is said that Yang Chendong has made a rule that if he embezzles [-] yuan, he can be sentenced to death.However, there are exceptions, such as those who have made great contributions and surrendered themselves, but it also depends on the individual.Everyone just wondered if it was some corrupt official's life-saving move.
Wu Qian was also caught by the white silver.Although it is said that the corrupt officials who are usually investigated and dealt with have also recorded the embezzled silver taels, but that is just a number after all, and it is not as intuitive as these silvers are placed in front of them.
But it was just that he was shocked. When he saw that there was a box on the box, which was written to himself, Wu Qian reached for it, and then opened it.All of a sudden it attracted everyone's attention.
Just when everyone's eyes fell on Wu Qian, waiting to see what he would do, and then guessing whose handwriting it might be, suddenly Vice-Chairman Wu slumped and fell straight to the ground beside him. past.
Fortunately, someone with quick eyesight and quick hands quickly reached out to help him, so he didn't really fall down.But at this moment Wu Qian's face was pale, and his breathing was a little short.
Seeing such a gaffe in the eyes of everyone, everyone was even more surprised.What was written in the letter that made Deputy Chief Wu, who is known for his stern and selfless face, lose his composure like this?
"It's all gone, let's go." At some point, Minister Shen You appeared, and the assistants around him started chasing people away, and soon the place became quiet again.Shen You also took two steps forward, came to Wu Qian and asked with concern, "Old Wu, are you alright?"
"It's all right, I have something to report to the minister." Wu Qian's face has slowly returned to normal, although he is still shocked and even very angry, but now that something has happened, he always thinks about it. way to solve it.
"Okay, let's go to my office and talk. Someone, seal up these three boxes first." Shen You nodded, and then ordered to the left and right.
In the minister's office, Wu Qian showed the letter to Shen You.It is not true to say that it is a letter, this is a confession, and Xie Kun's name and fingerprints are written in the column of the plaintiff below.Of course, he was very familiar with that handwriting, and he could tell at a glance that it was his own handwriting.
He didn't expect that such a big thing would happen to the people around him, and at the same time, even his newly married wife and brother-in-law were sinners. The blow came so fast that Wu Qian didn't have the slightest preparation, and he couldn't react in time.
Chapter 9 and Four: Wu Qian's Resoluteness
Relatively speaking, Minister Shen You was much calmer. After reading the letter, he sighed. He never thought that this unselfish, serious and active deputy would do such a thing. Whoever said it would be very painful and in a dilemma.
"Minister, I'm applying for recusal." Wu Qian said his decision.This matter involves his assistant and family members, and he no longer has the power to deal with this matter.
"Avoid?" Shen You shook his head after pondering for a moment, "About your family and people around you are involved, so you should avoid it. But now, this incident has been known to everyone in the Supervision Department, or It won't take long for the truth to spread, and if you avoid it now, people will inevitably say that you are avoiding it. Although it is only a word difference, sometimes rumors can kill people."
"This... May I ask the minister, what should I do?" After hearing this, Wu Qian realized that he had thought things simply.If it was before, it was okay for him to avoid it, but if he avoids it now, I am afraid that someone will really make a fuss about it.You must know that their Supervision Department looks mighty, but in fact, they have offended many people. Once something happens to you, I don’t know how many people will make trouble.
"Check it yourself, and then use the results to slap those spectators in the face, let them see what kind of person you are, Old Wu, just take this opportunity to show your stern and selfless side." Shen You He said with an encouraging attitude, but then said with a twist: "But if you want to do this, you must be prepared to sacrifice a part of your life. And if you can't do this, then I will Approved application recusal."
Wu Qian already understood what Shen You meant, it was for him to make a decision, whether he wanted the law or his family.The problem is there, and it must be a very difficult choice for anyone, or even a difficult decision.
Wu Qian didn't speak, Shen You took out a box of Tiankehan brand cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and put it in his mouth, then took out another one and handed it to Wu Qian, after lighting it, he took a puff and said, "I know that it would be very difficult for anyone to be in your current position. But since we are in this position, we have to make our own contributions. Our bodies are not good enough to fight like Leng Feng. Enemy, make meritorious deeds, but the sixth young master once said that positions and jobs are regardless of high or low, and they are all making contributions. Think about it, because of our efforts, how many people are living a life that was unimaginable before. You, didn’t you choose to work and contribute here because you couldn’t get used to Daming’s corruption?”
"So whenever I am indecisive, I always think about what my original intention was. Sometimes I even thank the sixth young master very much. If he hadn't sent someone to snatch me here, I wouldn't be here at all. I know that there is such a world outside of Ming Dynasty, where Han people can live so well, have such self-esteem, and be respected by others. To be honest, I like this place, that is, when I am old, Looking back on everything I have done now, I will not regret it, because this is exactly the life I want and the life I want to see."
"Minister, don't say any more. How have I ever changed my original intention? Don't worry, I will handle this matter personally, and I will let others see what kind of person I am, Wu Qian." Wu Before standing up suddenly, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
Yes, he used to be an official of the Ming Dynasty, and he belonged to the kind that was not favored. Later, when the Ming Dynasty divided the north and the south, he became an official of the Southern Ming Dynasty. .Minzhuang King Huixun and the others suddenly rebelled, and the county town was not defended. He fled out of the city with the people and came straight to Guangdong.Along the way, he had a clear view of the corrupt officials in Nanming.Those officials eat sweets and drink spicy food every day, and then turn around, they can watch the people starve to death because they have nothing to eat.
Since then, Wu Qian has completely lost confidence in Beiming's officialdom.Until the beginning of the activity of buying people with money, he concealed his identity and came to Chixian City.It was also at that time that his wife died of starvation, and his current wife was his new wife not long ago. She cannot be regarded as a big wife, but a concubine.
Having said that, when Wu Qianchu arrived in Chixian City, he was shocked by everything here.At that time, he did not have the right and qualification to come to Chixian City, so he could only live in some small places in the countryside.But even so, he was allocated enough land to feed him, and the land tax was meager, following the production of food, there was no pressure at all. It can be said that as long as people are not lazy, life is enough to live affluently.It's just that he, who was once the county magistrate, has more curiosity in his heart. This is the case in the countryside, so what will it be like in the city?
That is to say, from that time on, Wu Qian worked hard, performed actively, and finally completed the process from the countryside to Chixian City relying on his strength, and then he really saw a different world, a world that he didn't even think about in reality. Dare to think, but it's the land of his dreams in his dreams.Then, with hard work step by step, he, who was originally very good in personal ability and integrity, climbed up step by step, until his performance attracted the attention of the future sixth lady Luan Xiaoyu, and finally became the deputy director of the Ministry of Supervision.
Looking back on the past, if it was him before, maybe he wouldn't have too much hesitation.But now, he is actually applying for recusal, and now that he feels embarrassed, does this mean that his original intention has changed?
After a conversation with Shen You, Wu Qian cheered up again, and then he walked out of the minister's office, and a series of orders were issued from his mouth.
First, Xie Kun, who was sick and did not go to work at home, was arrested at home.He thought he could spend money to eliminate the disaster this time, but when the gate was broken and a squad of law enforcement officers from the Supervision Department appeared in front of him, he felt his eyes dim, and he knew it was over this time.
Then Xu Hao, political commissar of the regiment in the military camp, was arrested.Originally, he was thinking of rebelling by relying on his status as a political commissar, but when he saw that the person accompanying him turned out to be Army Commander Kaohsiung, he knew that rebelling was courting death.
In the end, Wu Chen's family was arrested.Compared to those two men, she wasn't that panicked. Maybe she knew this day would come, or maybe she thought she was Wu Qian's concubine, so nothing would happen.The three main personnel were swiftly arrested, followed by some staff members from the Ministry of Supervision and other ministries.They are usually people close to the high-level leaders. Usually, whoever sees them will smile at first, but this time they were blocked in the office by the executive staff of the Ministry of Supervision.Whenever other leaders want to speak out, those law enforcement officers will say, if you have something to talk to Wu Qianci for a long talk.
Just this sentence, those leaders are silent.The Ministry of Supervision is an existence that everyone can't hide from. Who would take the initiative to post it?
Yang Eryi arranged for people to watch Xie Kun and other important criminals in the morning, because he was afraid that these people would escape.When he watched the law enforcement officers from the Ministry of Supervision appear and came under the order of the former Deputy Chief Wu, he knew that his task was completed, and the next step was to see how to judge.
In the palace, Yang Chendong was chatting with the eldest lady Hu Yan and the pregnant second lady while basking in the sun, when Yang Wu suddenly appeared, holding a document with an anxious look on his face.
"Old Five, what happened?" Yang Er saw Yang Wu's anxious look, and walked over curiously.
"The sentence has been sentenced. A total of eight people have been sentenced to death, and 32 people have received different levels of labor education." Yang Wu said in a somewhat excited voice.
"So fast." Yang Er was also shocked when he heard this. It was only two days from yesterday to today. Although he thought that Wu Qian might continue to be stern and selfless, he didn't expect it to be so fast, and the sentence was quite heavy.
He reached out and snatched the document, and when he saw the names of Xie Kun, Xu Hao, and Wu Xu among the eight death row inmates, he couldn't help but say in admiration, "My Yang Er, besides the young master, is an outstanding person. Don’t take people seriously, now I’m serving Wu Qian.”
After sighing, Yang Er sent this document to Yang Chendong.He just glanced at it briefly and then nodded, "I already know the matter, and I agree with this decision. In addition, all the leaders who have been affected must write inspections, and they must openly conduct self-criticisms in their respective units. , If anyone disagrees, or has any conflicts, then report his name, and I will personally send him to the countryside and choose a piece of land for him to spend the rest of his life on. As for Wu Qian, the people around him are rotten. , he should also wake up and wake up, let him think about his mistakes behind closed doors at home."
Yang Chendong's order was quickly issued in the form of a document.
Although Yang Chendong has returned to Chixian City, he seldom expresses his opinions on the work below.Even if the work of any department is unfavorable, he will usually talk to its main leaders in private, and the number of times such orders are issued in the form of documents is really rare.
It is precisely because of the small number that it attracts extra attention and attention.Originally, some leaders and people around them had accidents, but they didn't care about it, thinking that they should just find another one, and they didn't think about their own mistakes at all.Not to mention what to check.But after reading the document, they knew that the Sixth Young Master was angry this time, so they would immediately write the inspection in person if they dared to speak out, and their attitudes were as correct as they could be.
Chapter 9 and Five
Eight people were killed and shot on the spot, and they were executed on the night the document was issued.From being caught to being finally sentenced, he lost his life in less than 48 hours.As for the 32 people who were reformed through labor, they were also sent out of the city the next afternoon.It is conceivable that if they don't work hard and get rid of their problems, they may spend their entire lives in labor.
It was unexpected by many people that the incident came to an end so quickly.The location of Chixian City is not bad, the area is only one yard into the courtyard, a heroic and handsome man is looking up at the sky.Looking at the bright moon in the sky, I couldn't help but said, "It really is a good method, which is admirable."
"What are you expressing?" Just when the man was facing the moon, a woman's voice sounded beside him, gentle and pleasant, joyful.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I'm lamenting the vigor and methods of the sixth young master. It should have been like this a long time ago. Some staff members around the leaders are even more airy than the leaders. If this trend is not killed, it will sooner or later Something happened." The man turned around and smiled, and when he looked at the woman in the courtyard, his face was as warm as spring.
"Yes, my sixth brother is very powerful. To be honest, I really didn't realize that he has such abilities when I was young. Everything now makes me feel like I'm in a dream." The woman also got up and gave the man Poured the warm tea again and said with a smile.
There is only one person who can call Yang Chendong the sixth elder brother in Chixian City, and that is Yang Duo, the seventh sister of the Yang family.In fact, the words came out of her mouth.
First, he left the Beiming capital with Yang Chendong. He had just gotten used to the climate and environment of Shicheng, and because Qiaoyin was pregnant, he took a boat with him to Chixian City.Only when he came here, did Yang Duo know what great achievements are.
After coming here, Yang Duo often walked around with several wives, and soon learned more about the situation in Chixian City.In particular, she knew that in this city, although the marriage of a man and a woman must be blessed by their parents, more depends on their own wishes, which is what people call free love.
Moreover, several wives also said that half of the women who came to Chixian City took the initiative to divorce and then went to pursue their own happiness.Although it was only half of it, but in Chixian City, a place with a large population, the proportion was not too small, which also made her think.
Unexpectedly, she really met such a man on the street.It was a coincidence that she originally thought that the security of Chixian City must be very good, so she refused to bring the guards when she came out, but brought a maid to accompany her, and she was still targeted because her money was exposed accidentally.Just as the thief was stealing, he was discovered by a man who came out of the blue and caught one of them.Because of this, Yang Duo was sent to a nearby public security station as a witness, and only then did she know the man's name, Long Tienan.
