All twelve people were in the room, Li Yun knelt, and the other eleven stood, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"More than sixty cents!"

Cheng Xu said in pain: "The subordinates are guilty, but the subordinates are ineffective in supervision. I am guilty!"

His sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes were full of righteousness, and his painful self-blame was even more touching.

Chen An asked with a smile: "In the past, those people checked you when they came?"

Cheng Xu nodded and said, "Yes. The lower official has been investigated twice."

"This is honesty."

Chen An nodded slightly and said, "You haven't found anything at home, which shows your caution."

"The officials have never reached out and have always kept in mind the principle of being honest as an official and work diligently..."

Cheng Xu frowned slightly, but finally smiled relievedly and said, "The Master Zhao is afraid that he has some misunderstandings about his subordinates. If he has time, he can go and ask about his subordinates' personality."

Chen An smiled and asked, "In the past, Li Yun misappropriated those two dans of money, have they been discovered?"

Cheng Xu nodded and said, "Yes, I discovered it twice before. The lower official was also negligent. He actually forgot about this matter and forgot to urge him to return it."

"You didn't forget it, but you deliberately kept it as bait, so that the officials who came to investigate thought they had found the mistake, and they happened to take it to hand in the service..."

Chen An sighed: "You are considered a talent, really."

He glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen and said, "It is common to embezzle the public's money and grain. Those officials who came to investigate saw it and would not pay attention to it as long as the amount is not large. Why? Because they dare not uncover this black hole. Once they uncover it... Zhongzhen, do you know what will happen?"

Zhao Zhongzhen was already shocked by Chen An's words. Hearing this, he subconsciously said: "Everyone in the officialdom is in danger, and then the crowd is full of emotions. Those who expose this matter will become everyone's enemies. Even the emperor can only deal with it vaguely..."

This is the rule that even the emperor cannot break.

Zhao Zhongzhen looked at Cheng Xu and sighed: "This person is really smart. Using this matter to make people afraid, and then he will naturally make things happen."

He glanced at Chen An and thought to himself that you shouldn't want to make trouble, right?

That is the rule of the officials in the world!

Brother, let’s go back!

He knew Chen An too well, and after seeing the light in his eyes, he felt that something was going to happen.

Officials, you shouldn't have asked him to investigate this matter. Now you are comfortable...

Unlike Zhao Zhongzhen's panic, Chen An only felt comfortable all over at this moment.

"The first thing those people came to investigate this matter was to check the accounts. When they saw that there were two tangs of misappropriation, they took the matter to hand over. When the above people found out, they had to do it, and no one cared about it..."

Chen An sighed: "Because as long as you look up, more misappropriation will be found. Everyone will be in danger at that time. The officials who investigated the case will regret it. Everyone is smart, so they will naturally stop. But there are people here constantly reporting..."

Who is it?

Everyone looked at each other.

What's the point of reporting this?

Chen An's eyes turned, and he stopped at Huang Du, who looked like a corrupt official, and said, "Huang Du, come out."

In the eyes of everyone's unbelievable eyes, Huang Du walked out with a bitter look on his face.

Chen An praised: "In the entire external horse stripping service, he didn't get the benefits of Huang Du's penalties, which is a model of integrity."

He didn't say it, but everyone knew it.

Those complicated eyes stared at Huang Du, and even had resentment.

It's you who keep reporting?

Why do you, a beast, cheat us?

Huang Du didn't expect that he would be pulled out by Chen An to show his public. He knew that he would be finished in the future. He bowed and said, "This matter was reported by the Xiaguan. There are a lot of meat coming in here every day, and the amount paid is correct, but occasionally someone can hear people complaining that the meat is smelly or less. Xiaguan feels something is wrong. If one person says it, it would be fine, but many people say this, so Xiaguan pays attention and follows the cart. He finds that they have replaced the good meat with worthless stinky meat outside..."

Chen An couldn't help but sigh: "Greed is not enough!"

Huang Duran said mutely: "The officials knew that they would be more difficult for the officials in the future, so they beg to go home to farm."

Reporting colleagues is a violation of the rules. Huang Du realized that he would never make a move in the future, and he would be stared at and stabbed in the back at every turn.

This is the official ecology.

"Scared?"

Huang Du nodded.

Chen An smiled and said lightly: "Don't worry, first of all, you will be ignored immediately, secondly... Whoever dares to touch you in the future will be moved by the official family, and you will be promoted."

Huang Du looked up in disbelief, Chen An stood up and walked to Cheng Xu, and said, "Do you want to enter the Imperial City Department to explain again, or do you want to confess now?"

Cheng Xu said calmly: "The officials are not corrupt and have a clear conscience."

"I have a kind!"

Chen An praised: "Someone who admires the most, let's do it."

"Attack, the officials have seen those who pull meat give Cheng Xu money."

Huang Du has made a sacrifice, just to make Chen Anna's illusory guarantee.

Chen An smiled at him and said, "Don't worry about this, Zhang Ba Nian will teach him how to be a human being."

When he left here, Zhao Zhongzhen whispered: "Zhang Banian will not attack such a trivial matter."

Chen An said lightly: "I will let him take action."

Zhao Zhongzhen felt a little panicked, so he chased after him and persuaded, "Brother Anbei, this matter must be discussed for a long time."

Chen An nodded and got on his horse.

What's the long-term plan?

This is an opportunity, what should I do if I miss it?

Wang Anshi's Wanyan Book is missing for unknown reasons.

Without this ten thousand words, Zhao Zhongzhen will not choose him as his own reform blade in the future.

The reform of the Song Dynasty is inevitable. Since Lao Wang’s Wanyan Book has not come out, let me, Chen An, fire the first shot!

The corruption and indifference of the external destruction of the horse affairs are really a drop in the ocean. Cheng Xu’s biggest reliance is that the officials who investigate the case dare not reveal this rule.

Yes, most officials will follow this rule and remain silent and keep their mouths shut.

This is the limitation of the times.

But he didn't know that Chen An came from later generations and would not follow the rules at all.

So his greatest reliance was ignored by Chen An.

Chen An went straight to the imperial city. While waiting for the report, he pondered the reactions of Zhao Zhen and others.

Later he followed people into the palace. When he saw Zhao Zhen, the emperor had just finished a snack and was drinking tea and digesting food.

Seeing him come in, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry about the matter on the offensive mafia, come slowly."

He thought Chen An was here to complain, so he was very relaxed.

Chen An glanced at Chen Zhongheng and said, "The official, the official has found out the matter of stripping horses."

Zhao Zhen was drinking tea, but was stunned when he heard this. He slowly put down the tea cup and looked at Chen An carefully.

This was the second day, and Chen An was dozing off on the first day and was not doing his job properly.

Half of the next day passed, have you found out now?

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "How much is corrupt?"

He did not ask about things that were superficial, but only asked about corruption. This attitude is worth pondering.

Chen An didn't care about this, "The official, if he stripped the horse business at one level, he would be greedy for more than 60 trump cards. The supervisor Cheng Xu resisted stubbornly, but I guess he would have to be at least 200 trump cards..."

Not many!

Corruption cannot be prohibited, and Zhao Zhen is very clear about this.

Hundreds of corruption...

"This matter will be discussed tomorrow."

Zhao Zhen said with relief: "You are so fast, I wonder if you are asking you to investigate the criminal prison and cooperate with Wang Qing. I think there will be many cases that can be found."

Lao Wang was reviewing cases in various places. This job was very trivial, but he did it very enthusiastically.

But Chen An felt that he was not the source of the case to solve the case, so he expressed his humility.

Chen An then retreated.

Everyone learned about Chen An's roar on the horse stripping today. He was amused and waited for his follow-up moves, but until he came out of the palace, Cheng Xu was still fine.

That bluffing idiot!

After Cheng Xu went to the yamen, he invited his subordinates from the horse stripper to drink. It is said that when he was drunk, he shouted, "Chen An is a person with no eggs."

These words instantly spread to people who are interested. Tonight, Bianliang sold a lot of wine and brothels also had a lot of customers.
To be continued...
