"Corrupt officials are not necessarily bad officials?"
Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. Yes, this is indeed the truth.
Take He Shen of the Qing Dynasty as an example. He was indeed a super corrupt official.
But he was indeed a capable minister. How could he tour the south if he was not greedy for Qianlong?
Why did the emperor lose his family?
How to fill the treasury and how to operate the court?
Qin Hui killed Yue Fei, but that was not what Emperor Jiumei meant.
Zhao Hua wanted to be the emperor in a down-to-earth manner, so he did not want Emperor Huiqin to come back.
So Qin Hui took the blame for this.
Yan Song and his son did all the bad things, you should be a wise emperor.
Really don’t know?
You know, and you keep them alive.
The reason is just that the emperor thinks they are useful.
But no matter how you say it, you can say that this corrupt official is a capable minister, but you want to say that they are still good officials because they oppress the people?
I can only give you two words, haha!
Here are three words for you: Go to hell!
"Member Shen is very knowledgeable." Gu Chen picked up the tea cup and took a sip and asked, "So, why did Yuan Wai come to see me?"
"Please speak up."
What he said was so vague that it was difficult to convict him. What if we let him escape?
"Master Censor." Officer Shen stepped closer and said very sincerely: "Being an official in the capital is difficult. We all know that as long as you are merciful, relax your hands a little and let Master Fang and Magistrate Wang go."
"Then, we can take five hundred taels of gold and treat you to tea."
Five hundred taels of gold were worth five thousand taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty.
The temptation was so great that the villain in Gu Chen couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
But he couldn't show it, because he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were at the root of a certain wall, taking notes in a small notebook.
If Gu Chen didn't have a shop or land, he wouldn't be able to earn five hundred taels of gold if he worked in his current position until he died of old age or another hundred years.
It's a pity that gold is just a dead thing to him now.
Well, who makes him a scholar with high integrity and clean sleeves?
"You?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked very keenly: "Who are you?"
Good guy, five hundred taels of gold, who wouldn’t be confused after this exchange?
If he hadn't been an official for Lao Zhu, he might not have been able to withstand this temptation.
There were only two people. If ten people were arrested, it would be tens of thousands of taels?
Is it good to become rich overnight?
It’s so challenging!
"My lord, please leave this alone." Seeing that he seemed a little relieved, Officer Shen immediately said, "My lord, as the saying goes, if you have money, don't make a bastard."
"With this money, your life will be as happy as a god's. You will have a lovely wife and concubines, and you will be able to buy a house and land."
At the same time, he also felt a little contemptuous, and the censor was nothing more than that.
Sure enough, there is nothing that money cannot do.
Emperor Zhu, Emperor Zhao, Emperor Liu, he only recognized one Emperor Qian.
Gu Chen was actually in a very comfortable mood at this time. You said that Zhu Huan only bribed himself one hundred taels when he earned 150,000 taels.
How small is the layout?
Nowadays, every export is worth five hundred taels of gold, and my own worth is rising steadily. How can I make people feel unhappy?
"You really won't tell?"
Gu Chen didn't refuse or agree, he just looked at him with a smile.
"Sir, there is really no need for you to know this." Member Shen said sincerely, "Sir, just think that everyone is doing this for your own good."
"If you have no objection, sir, I will go and get the money."
As long as this matter is settled properly, these censors will all leave.
Then how will they search for money in the future, then how will they search for money.
Nothing has changed at all.
Gu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Then you go and come back quickly. I have never seen such stolen money in my life."
"Oh, by the way, I only accept gold and silver, not treasure notes. Don't use treasure notes to fool me."
Officer Shen felt a little uncomfortable when he saw what he said was unpleasant.
But I still thought it was more important to do something, so I went there with a smile.
In the tea room next door, the clerk had already obeyed the orders and written down everything they said. After reading it, Gu Chen felt it was appropriate.
"These wealthy country squires don't use precious currency, but hide all their gold and silver money in the ground to get moldy. I really think the court doesn't know about it."
Xu Zengshou has followed secretly. After finding out the location of the gold and silver, he can search the house once the evidence of guilt is confirmed. Zhu Di and Xu Da's Northern Expedition or Lao Liao's invasion of Japan can generate additional military expenses.
Officer Shen gave the money and thought the matter was settled.
Unexpectedly, at this time, two scribes came out of the side room where they were talking and asked him to sign and stamp. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived.
"Master Yushi, you... why are you like this?"
If you don't follow martial ethics like this, are you really afraid of offending someone and ending up with a bad death?
"I am an upright person, how could I be deceived by your mere five hundred taels of gold?"
Gu Chen's face was not red and his heart was not beating. What he said was aloof.
"Take him down and interrogate him carefully to find out who asked him to bribe the official. We are going to investigate his business and what the people say about him."
This guy does things with such ease and skill that he looks unclean.
Since torture was used, it meant that torture would be used, and Officer Shen certainly understood that.
He resisted so hard that one of the guards' feet was swollen from the kick.
Gu Chen asked Xiao Anzi to send the escort to the hospital to apply medicine, but he came back less than a moment later.
"Master, something is wrong. Wouldn't the trauma just be cured by applying some medicine?"
Gu Chen didn't realize the problem at this time. He was still reading the case file with his legs crossed.
Hearing this, he replied casually: "Yes, what else?"
In other words, there is no medicinal wine in the yamen. If you stay at home, you don’t need to go to the medical clinic.
"But..." Xiao Anzi said: "The doctor said that Liu Weiwei was seriously injured and needs to be nourished by ginseng and other precious medicinal materials."
"A dose of medicine costs two guan. You need to take at least three doses to get better."
He felt something was wrong, so he left Guard Liu behind and came back to find the master.
"What the hell?" Gu Chen looked up in disbelief and said, "You heard it right, the guy named Shen is a donkey, and he can be kicked and cause internal injuries?"
He immediately put down the case file, picked up his clothes and left: "Go and have a look."
In order not to disturb the people and make them feel scared, the guards changed into plain clothes when they went to see the doctor.
Don't you think you're tricking him because he's well-dressed?
The medicine hall that Xiao Anzi went to was called Jishitang, when Gu Chen arrived.
The shopkeeper was spitting at Liu Huowei, making people stunned for a while.
"The medicinal materials we have here are all of the best, and the ginseng is more than a hundred years old."
"Master, this and that man must take good care of his body."
"You said that you are working hard to earn money outside and don't spend the money you have saved?"
"Then in the future, if something happens, your wife will take your goodies and remarry someone else."
"Wouldn't that just give others an advantage?"
"I also have good sea cucumbers here. It's not easy for you to see. I can sell them to you cheaper at a loss."
"It's supposed to be fifty guan. I can only charge you 20 guan. You can take it back to replenish your health. How about I become your friend?"
Sea cucumbers have been expensive since ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty, they were even more expensive than gold.
But you don’t even have a little finger, just sell it for 20 yuan.
It's just a trauma. You recommend sea cucumber and ginseng to others.
Are you feeling a little crazy?
Liu Huowei's father was a young general and had been with Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time. However, his achievements were small and he was mediocre, so he was not awarded a title.
But he still had some money, and the more he listened, the more he felt that what the doctor said made sense.
He reached into his arms to take out the money, but was stopped by a pair of hands.
"Master Gu?"
If Gu Chen hadn't thought that his father's status was higher than his own, he would have wanted to crack open his head to see what was inside.
"Sir?" When the doctor heard this title, he immediately became confused: "Who are you?"
Xiao Anzi poked his head out from behind Gu Chen and said every word.
"This is Gu Yushi from the capital. Mr. Gu, you are treating Liu Huwei, a personal soldier of the current emperor. How do you think you should treat him?"
This place, even the medical center that saves people and saves the world, looks like this.
Really, the emperor knew how angry he would be.
Gu Chen looked at Liu Wewei and said angrily: "You have external injuries, not internal injuries. If you eat ginseng and sea cucumber, it will be what he says?"
This guy's IQ is really screwed up. You have to be willing to be hacked for so much money when you can get it done with just a few pennies of medicine and wine.
With more than twenty dollars, you can buy two horses.
