Chapter 598 Don't be too greedy
Chapter 598
After Zhang Hao went in and said, the official was also very excited: "Yes, the King of Qin said he gave it away, but I really didn't get the money. So, sir, I was wronged, it was really wronged. I don't believe sir can go and investigate!"
"Well, I will go and check it out. I also hope you are wronged, but if it is true, do you know the consequences?" Zhang Hao stared at the official and asked.
Zhang Hao also hopes that there are still some good officials in the court who have not been corrupted by the King of Qin.
"I, I know!" the official nodded.
"Okay, go and investigate. The King of Qin asked who would give me gifts and find out!" Zhang Hao said to a hundred households beside him.
"Yes, sir!" The hundred household heard this, turned around and went out. Zhang Hao also came out and continued to go to the cell to watch. After a while, he saw the cell where Yan Shifan was, and he was locked up with several officials.
"Sir!" Yan Shifan also saw Zhang Hao, and immediately stood up and bowed to Zhang Hao. The same was true for the other officials.
"Well, have you finished recording the confession? Did you take the money from the King of Qin?" Zhang Hao stood there and spoke.
"Sir, I'm so unfair. I'm a little bitch. I'm a little bitch. You know, I'm not an official, so why would he give me money? Besides, if I'm going to curry favor with my father for the sake of giving it to me, I wouldn't dare to accept it. Sir, you've dealt with so many corrupt officials in the past few years, how can we dare?" Yan Shifan immediately bowed to Zhang Hao and cried.
Zhang Hao didn't say anything, he knew what was going on, but he just said that his father was still useful now and could not be killed, so he didn't pursue Yan Shifan's affairs. No matter what Yan Shifan said, he wouldn't believe it, but he wouldn't refute it.
Zhang Hao stared at another official and asked, "Where are you?"
"Sir, I've taken the transcript. We have let you down your Majesty's grace!" One of the officials bowed to the palace and said.
"Hey, I think there is something wrong with your head, damn it!" Zhang Hao said, leaving behind his hands, and didn't look at Yan Shifan.
Yan Shifan didn't dare to have any objection. He knew that Zhang Hao could really determine his life and death. Here, Zhang Hao was the boss.
Zhang Hao inspected the cell and found that there were some officials who were detained here for more than half a year. Generally speaking, after obtaining the transcript and finding the evidence, the officials will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice prison, or sent to Zhao Prison, and will not be locked here. They are all locked up for short-term and long-term.
"What's wrong with you guys? Why are you still here?" Zhang Hao asked, pointing to the four officials inside.
"Sir, we are wronged. We are not corrupt, and there is no evidence to prove that we are corrupt. Sir, please let us go?" One of the officials came over immediately and kowtowed to Zhang Hao.
He knew Zhang Hao, but the other three didn't know each other. They were all local officials. However, when they saw the clothes Zhang Hao was wearing, they also recognized him. Zhang Hao was the commander here.
"I'm unfair, what did you come in?" Zhang Hao asked the official.
"Sir, I am an official of the Ministry of Revenue. I was sent to the Censorate before because I was reported by someone. The Censorate reported to the emperor and was arrested. But until now, there is no evidence from me. Please spare my life!" The official said as he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed constantly!
"What's your name?" Zhang Hao continued to ask.
"Ask the words of the master, my name is Yang Qingshun. I am a small official of the Ministry of Revenue. I was reported because I did not accept gifts. They despise me for being in trouble. In addition, I just moved to the Ministry of Revenue, and they had no way to get me away, so they falsely accused me and reported it to the Supervision Bureau. Sir, please be clear!" Yang Qingshun continued to kowtow to Zhang Hao and said.
"Yang Qingshun? Well, where are you three?" Zhang Hao immediately asked the other three.
A hundred households in the back saw Zhang Hao asking the names of the three of them. They were a little nervous and wanted to say something to Zhang Hao, but they didn't dare. The three of them immediately reported their names. In addition, why were they arrested, but there was still no evidence.
Zhang Hao remembered the names of the four of them, so he asked someone to mobilize their files, as well as their confessions, and the reporting materials, which Zhang Hao had to watch in person.
At first glance, the four of them had good assessments from the Ministry of Personnel before, and they were considered honest and honest. They had only collected hundreds of taels of silver for the house. Not much, but there were not much land, just a few dozen acres. Logically speaking, among them, the lowest level was county magistrates, who could have this money, and corruption was not considered a good thing.
"What's going on? Why did they catch them? Since they can't find out, why don't they let them go?" Zhang Hao sat there, staring at the hundreds of households who specialize in managing the prison cells beside him.
"Sir, we don't know either!" said one of the hundreds of households.
"Don't know? You are the person in charge here, you don't know?" Zhang Hao stared at the hundred households and asked.
"Sir, I really don't know. I just follow the instructions above!" The hundred household immediately knelt down when they heard this, knowing that Zhang Hao was not easy to mess with. If Zhang Hao couldn't answer with satisfaction, he would immediately take off his official uniform, and maybe he would investigate him.
"Who told me?" Zhang Hao stared at the hundred households and said.
That hundred household was a little afraid to say.
"Who told me to speak?" Zhang Hao stared at the official and said gritting his teeth.
"Sir, it was Lord Liu's order, and the youngest could only do as he ordered!" The hundred-client said with their heads down, while the other hundred-clients lowered their heads, and Zhang Hao stopped talking. Then he put away the files, left, and returned to his office.
When he arrived at the door of the office room, Zhang Hao ordered to the Jinyiwei beside him, "Liu Yunhai is back, let him come to my office room!" As he said that, he returned to his office room to make tea. In addition, when he was not here, all the information and some of the information had been put into the database. Zhang Hao ordered it to be retrieved and looked carefully.
Almost an hour later, Liu Yunhai came over and arrived in front of Zhang Hao.
"Well, look at these four files to see if there is any problem?" Zhang Hao handed over the file he brought out to Liu Yunhai. Liu Yunhai felt nothing at first, but after seeing the name of the file, he knew what was going on.
"Sir, I am guilty!" Liu Yunhai immediately knelt down and bowed to Zhang Hao and said.
"How much did you charge?" Zhang Hao looked at Liu Yunhai and said.
"Sir, the official confiscate the money. Don't worry, sir, I'm paying back the favors. There's no way. I have to pay back the favors I owe when I was young!" Liu Yunhai lowered his head and said to Zhang Hao.
"Just pay favors like this? Well? You dare to do such things. I have read all the information about these officials. It can be said that they are still very good and capable officials. You ruined someone else's life like this, ah?" Zhang Hao stared at Liu Yunhai and scolded.
"Sir, don't ask about this matter. I will release them immediately and go to the Ministry of Personnel to restore their posts!" Liu Yunhai lowered his head and said to Zhang Hao.
"Who has such a great favor? Let him replace four officials!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Yunhai.
"Sir, I have not participated in this matter deeply. They were all requested by their Supervisory Office. Since they asked for arrest, I will arrest them. The interrogation time was a bit long, and I knew that the rules were violated, but there was no way. What they asked for, I needed to lock them up like this, and I was imprisoned for about a year. Then, if they were released in a mess, they would have no choice but to restore their posts. Sir, the officials had no choice. All the favors they owe were paid back now!" Liu Yunhai continued to bow to Zhang Hao and said, kneeling there.
"Liu Yunhai, I don't want to check you. You know, now I ask you to go to the Danfang every day, just hope that you can take over my position and protect the emperor. Now, dividends will be distributed to you every year, and there are almost a few thousand taels of silver. There are also gifts given by officials below. Your family's annual income will not be less than 8,000 taels, and the annual expenses of ordinary people are only three or five taels. You can support thousands of ordinary families.
You should not be too greedy as a human being. If you have so much money to spend for you, it is better to spend it with peace of mind. I don’t want you to have any bad thoughts! You know more than me about the power of the Jinyiwei. You know more about what you can do and what you can’t do! Zhang Hao said, staring at Liu Yunhai who was kneeling on the ground.
"Sir, the officials knew that they were wrong. Sir, the officials had no choice. When they were young, their family was poor and received help from others. The officials were not those who did not repay their kindness. They insisted on me to do this, and I had no choice. I also knew that they were wrong. I also thought that after a year of imprisonment, I would go to the Ministry of Personnel and ask them to find a judge to restore his post and transfer it from those places. Even if he could not be promoted, he could continue to be an official and live a life. The officials were not the kind of cruel and ruthless people. They were innocent, and the officials knew it!" Liu Yunhai knelt there and said to Zhang Hao.
"Get up!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Yunhai, and Liu Yunhai stood up.
"You are also by Your Majesty's side, and you know that you are willing to seek talented people. If they are corrupt people, you will clean up. I don't think it's known, but they are not. We can't do things that frame loyalty and good people, and it will make people poke the backbone!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Yunhai.
"Yes, sir!" Liu Yunhai bowed and said again.
"Go to the Ministry of Personnel and let them get their money out after half a level. All the things that were searched will be returned to others. In addition, they were in jail in the Jinyiwei because they were innocent. Let the Ministry of Personnel pay their salary. We will also compensate them for this money. You pay!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Yunhai.
