The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2272 Death by Negligence
Zhao Dongting was noncommittal.

Judging from the information received from various places in the past few years, Lizhou West Road is indeed doing well in terms of business development.

Moreover, in recent years, Lizhou West Road has been continuously repaired and opened up, which is also a visible achievement.

It is a pity that Lizhou West Road is poor in products, and it is still difficult to get rich just by doing business.

At least it is difficult for the common people below to enjoy any benefits from this.

What they cultivate is not even enough to feed themselves, so where can they sell it?

Transaction tax has little to do with them at all.

After Zhao Dongting was silent for a while, he did not continue to discuss this issue with Luan Hongmao.

He only asked again: "Then how have you ruled the officialdom in the past few years?"

Luan Hongmao said: "I don't know what aspect the emperor is asking about?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Of course, are the officials below you diligent in their administration? Is there any phenomenon of corruption, perversion of the law, and laziness in administration?"

Luan Hongmao smiled wryly: "There are more or less. Every year, the Supervisory Office can find out some of them."

Zhao Dongting nodded, "It's inevitable. It's a good thing to find out."

"What does the emperor say?"

Luan Hongmao said: "Fortunately, those high-ranking officials are still clean, and there is no problem."

"That's good."

Zhao Dongting nodded, finally brought the topic down to business, pretending to be casual and said: "Yesterday I saw someone making trouble at the gate of your government office, what's going on?"

Luan Hongmao's eyes changed slightly, and his heart tightened for a moment.

No matter what, he never expected that Zhao Dongting would ask him this.

It turns out that the emperor came yesterday.

Why did the emperor come to find him now? This is worth pondering.

His mind was spinning rapidly.

Then he asked the guard who was still standing next to him: "Someone made trouble at the gate of the government office yesterday? Why didn't this officer know?"

The guard looked like he was about to cry, "Those people are messing around, so we didn't dare to disturb you, my lord."

He was a bit afraid to talk nonsense in front of Zhao Dongting, but Luan Hongmao couldn't afford to offend him either!
What happened yesterday was actually instructed by Luan Hongmao.He dare not say.

Luan Hongmao said again: "Tell me what's going on specifically."

The guard didn't dare to wade into this muddy water again, he just said: "I don't even know about it, I only know that they are causing trouble at the gate of the government office."

Although he is only a small person, he also has his wisdom.

"Humph."

Luan Hongmao snorted softly, "Then go find someone who knows."

Zhao Dongting just smiled and said, "Bring those troublemakers here too!"

He was not afraid of Luan Hongmao playing tricks either.

Anyway, those people are still in the government office.

This matter will soon be known.

Luan Hongmao's face changed slightly, but he dared not say anything.

The guard went down.

After a while, those who were caught in the government office were brought up, and the official who gave orders yesterday also came.

Seeing Zhao Dongting, he quickly knelt down on the ground, "I kowtow to the emperor."

He obviously learned about Zhao Dongting's identity from the mouth of the guard.

The troublemakers were still dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and when they saw him like this, they immediately fell to their knees and didn't dare to speak.

"Get up!"

Zhao Dongting waved his hands and looked at those troublemakers, "Why did you make trouble at the gate of the government office yesterday?"

He ignored the official.

Just because of his behavior yesterday, Zhao Dongting was already displeased.

A man bravely shouted: "Please avenge my father, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Tell me what's going on slowly. If there is a grievance, I will not sit idly by."

Luan Hongmao swallowed secretly, and winked at the official quietly.

As everyone knows, Zhao Dongting noticed all these small actions of his.

The perception of extreme masters is no joke.

The man said: "My father was originally an official under the Mianzhou Supervision Bureau. He came home a while ago with a serious expression, drunk alone, and then said that he discovered the big secret of the Mianzhou officialdom. The Supervision Bureau is gone. Qing Tian. He was crying while talking, and when he woke up the next day, he asked us not to spread the matter. We could see that my father was still a little conflicted, but we didn't expect that later, when my father went to the Supervision Bureau to work, it was... The chief officer of the Supervision Bureau had no reason to humiliate my father in front of many people, and my father was so angry that he argued with him, and then, he accidentally beat him to death!"

"There is no one to avenge us in such a big Mianzhou."

"When we reported to the Supervision Office, we only said that my father had no superiors, and that the chief official was unintentional, and he didn't intend to pursue the responsibility of the chief official. Your majesty, this is a living life! My father obviously It was the chief officer who deliberately beat him to death, even if it wasn't, could it be that such a matter of life and death can be easily uncovered?"

Zhao Dongting's face turned cold.

He really didn't expect such a thing to exist.

He looked at Luan Hongmao with a cold face, "Master Luan, you wouldn't say that you didn't know anything about it, would you?"

Cold sweat broke out on Luan Hongmao's forehead.

He swallowed and said: "Reporting to the emperor, the Supervisory Office has indeed reported this matter to the minister. After a joint investigation by the Supervisory Office and the Social Security Office, the chief officer was negligently killed. The minister did not mean not to punish him." , the minister has already ordered his removal from office, maybe... maybe the order has not been issued yet..."

"Humph."

Zhao Dongting only hummed softly when he heard the words.
