Chapter 665 Unlucky Zhao Fengzhao ([-])

Anyone who is in the officialdom will not be able to play tricks such as dismounting Mawei, and Hong Qing is naturally a top expert among them. However, Hong Qing originally disdains to play such conventional methods, but Su Keji insisted on bumping into it by himself. Come to the point of the gun, if you don't take advantage of the situation and give him a guy, that would be too sorry for Old Su's kindness, wouldn't it?Besides, the reason why Hong Qing acted in this way was due to other considerations. Killing monkeys to make an example of chickens was just one aspect, and the other aspect was to take the opportunity to send a signal, that is, the purpose of Hong Qing's trip was not only He is here to investigate Zhao Fengzhao, and Su Keji is also one of the targets of a thorough investigation. What he wants is to break the situation of Shanxi officialdom being integrated, and those who are willing to make progress will come to welcome him. That's why he mercilessly suppressed Su Keji to death.

"My lord, the sun is scorching right now, your body is very important, please move to the city, I will wait for your instructions, please?"

Hong Qing is a nobleman of Tianhuang, not to mention that he is the king of the county, but he is also an important minister in the central government. He wants to teach people, and there are really few people in the world who dare to talk back. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are only a handful of them. The officials present Although there are many people, absolutely no one can be included in this list. At this moment, I can only listen with awe-inspiring expression. The scene is unavoidably a little strangely tense. Seeing this, the chief envoy Ku Xi felt a little nervous. Unable to hold back anymore, he hurriedly stood up from the side, and interrupted with a flattering smile on his face.

"Yes, my lord, you have worked hard all the way, please take good care of your body."

According to the inspector Wang Liangen, who had just been transferred to Shanxi, he had no friendship with Su Keji at all, and of course, there was nothing wrong with it, but it was just a relationship with ordinary colleagues. He naturally didn't care much about Su Keji's punishment, although he felt a bit sad However, since Ku Xi was in the top position, as the third in command in Shanxi, it was difficult for him to remain silent, so he could only follow up with some words of persuasion.

"Well, let's go to the post station first, all the gentlemen please."

Getting off the horse is just a means, not an end. If you really care about it, you will be disrespectful. Hongqing will not do such a stupid thing. Since the two giants of Shanxi, Ku Xi and Wang Liangen, have already started After finishing her mouth, Hong Qing was so happy that she took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and ignored Su Keji's embarrassment and secret anger, waved her hand, gave a light order, and immediately got into the carriage. Then he rushed to Taiyuan City along the official road...

After two years, the inn outside the city of Taiyuan was still so dilapidated, but Hongqing didn't care. She declined the manor in the city arranged by Su Keji and others, and also declined the kindness of Kang Wanming, the president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China who came to see her. He insisted on staying in the small courtyard where he lived in the early years, and rejected the invitation of Shanxi officials for a dust-cleaning banquet as usual. After receiving many officials' invitations, he sent everyone back. As for the investigation Well, they didn't even mention a word, even if Su Keji and the others tried a few times overtly and secretly, Hong Qing ignored them all, either Wang Gu was talking about him, or he was indifferent, which made Su Keji and the others People were full of depression, but they didn't dare to complain. In the end, they could only resign in boredom.

At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was completely dark, and the breeze dispelled the sultry heat in summer. Although there was no ice basin in the room, it was quite cool to sit by the window, and it had already been used. After dinner, Hong Qing was only wearing a blue singlet, leaning on the rocking chair, holding a book in his hand by the dim candlelight, looking at it one by one, with a calm and leisurely appearance.

"My lord, He Tao is here."

At the screen, a figure flashed, but Li Minxing had already rushed to the rocking chair with big strides, bowed, and reported in a low voice.

"Well, let him come in."

The reason why Hong Qing was reading in the study was waiting for the arrival of He Tao, the head of the "Sharp Knife" Shanxi sub-rudder. Hearing Li Minxing's words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he casually handed over the idle books to the children beside him. After putting it on, he stood up, waved his hand, and hurriedly ordered.

"twitter!"

Since Hong Qing had an order, Li Minxing didn't dare to be negligent, and respectfully complied with the promise, turned around, and walked out of the study room quickly, and after a while, he turned back from the outside with He Tao, who was dressed as a royal guard. back.

"My subordinates kowtow to the prince!"

Seeing Hong Qing standing in front of the copywriter, He Tao didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he rushed to the front in a hurry, knelt down on the ground, and saluted respectfully to say hello.

"Why don't you do this, please get up"

For He Tao, the elder of the "sharp knife", Hong Qing has always respected him very much, before he finished the ceremony, he bent down, stretched out his hand, and yelled very warmly.

"Thank you, Lord Long!"

He Tao couldn't help being very excited to see Hong Qing again after nearly two years of separation, and Xie En's voice inevitably had a slight tremolo.

"Come, sit down and talk."

Hong Qing stretched out her hand and patted He Tao's thick shoulder with a smile, waved her hand, and let him go to the reception area. Li Minxing directed the guards to serve the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then they all withdrew room to go.

"My lord, this is the information you want, please read it."

After all the guards retreated, He Tao immediately shook his hands, took out a thick booklet from his wide sleeves, and handed it to Hong Qing respectfully.

"Well, why don't you sit down for a while."

As early as when she accepted the old Shisan's request, Hong Qing had already issued an urgent order to ask He Tao to collect relevant information about the case. The reason why he rejected all the invitations to socialize today is because of this Now that the brochure has arrived, Hong Qing really didn't want to delay for a moment, after a polite sentence, she immediately flipped through it, and after seeing it, her brows were immediately furrowed.

Although she knew that the case was very complicated, after seeing the information given by He Tao, Hong Qing still couldn't help being upset for a while, nothing else, Zhao Fengzhao had only been the magistrate in Taiyuan for two years, but He offended everyone from top to bottom, and only the newly transferred Inspectorate Wang Liangen had no grievances with him.

As soon as Zhao Fengzhao took office, the first thing he did was to rectify the order in Taiyuan. He severely punished those bannermen who used their identity as bannermen to extort money. It was a bit too harsh, and regardless of Su Keji and Ku Xi's dissuasion, he forcibly showed the offenders in the cannon. Although the arrogance of those bannermen was severely frustrated, this move was outright ultra vires. He, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the local government has no right to try if a bannerman commits a crime, and must report it to the local banner camp for disposal. Besides, some of the Eight Banners stationed in Taiyuan often secretly do some small business to earn some expenses. It can be said that it is also an unspoken rule, and the court mostly turned a blind eye to it, but Zhao Fengzhao just admitted his death, and he took a ruthless shot, forcing those bannermen to close their doors and go out of business. Those dignitaries in Taiyuan Eight Banners had their businesses under other people’s names also found out, and many of them were forcibly closed down. There is no doubt that Zhao Fengzhao’s actions have deeply offended everyone stationed in Taiyuan Eight Banners. went.

If it is said that offending Qiying still has the meaning of making decisions for the people, it is especially excusable, but Zhao Fengzhao's behavior in the officialdom seems too naive-since the fire has returned to the public, the officials can do whatever they want There are not many places, and the money from the lawsuit is the biggest source of extra income. It is commendable that Zhao Fengzhao himself did not make such black-hearted money, but he openly put up a sign at the gate of the yamen, saying that Those who dare to offer bribes will be judged as defeated in the lawsuit. This move will offend all the officials in the province. Not only that, but this fellow often reports the bribery of other officials when the governor's yamen is discussing. He didn't come up with any strong evidence, most of them were rumors and the like, and he was repeatedly reprimanded by Su Keji, and he still refused to repent. It really makes people wonder what to say.

In the entire officialdom in Shanxi, Zhao Fengzhao was the enemy of everyone. The reason why he didn't fall down early was simply because his father and brother were very respected in the court. But since the old man reprimanded Zhao Shenqiao this spring, The family members of Zhao's father and son have faded away, at least that's how the rumor spread. In this way, how could the officials who were deeply offended by Zhao's father and son miss this good opportunity to attack Zhao's father and son? Zhao Fengzhao, the most humble, has become the first choice for attack without any accident, and his bad luck is inevitable.

The reason for Zhao Fengzhao's participation is quite strange-at the end of last year, the old man ordered the general Wang Laosi to command an army of 30 to march westward, but he did not order all over the country to step up as he did in the previous western expeditions. There is no other way to collect taxes. After the settlement of debts and the economic boom of the Qing Dynasty in recent years, the treasury is now very rich and can fully afford the huge war expenses. At least for two or three years, there is no need to worry about insufficient military expenditures. It is precisely because of this that the old man did not follow the usual practice, and the provinces did not dare to increase donations indiscriminately. However, in early April this year, the Taiyuan Mansion issued an official document to increase donations. Zhao Fengzhao really let Zhao Fengzhao In the rest of the time, more than [-] taels were collected.

Zhao Fengzhao's work efficiency is really good, but what happened? Before the money was warmed up, Su Keji's bullets were loaded. After checking the money in the library, it turned out that there were only less than 1 taels of donations left, and the remaining thirty Yu Wanliang just disappeared, and Zhao Fengzhao was sent to prison naturally. He complained endlessly, saying that the additional donation was made on the order of the governor's office, but he couldn't produce evidence Come on, no one knows where the so-called governor's official documents are, and Su Keji firmly denies that such official documents have been issued, and the provincial officials also deny that such official documents have been issued. It's a mouth, and I can't explain it clearly, and no one in the government and the public is willing to defend him. If it weren't for the old thirteen's righteousness, I'm afraid Zhao Fengzhao would have to be beheaded with injustice...
