"I really want to investigate this matter vigorously now, especially after Li Haonan came to threaten me."
"I don't know how many families have been involved in this matter. I heard Gongsun Long say that one of the reasons for the sparse population in Zhixian County is because of the unexplained disappearance of these women and children."
"Who knows that this kind of thing is not scary? If the captured women and children are found, or the perpetrators are brought to justice, the people will naturally not be so scared."
Tianzhen sighed: "Yes, it is precisely because there is no follow-up and follow-up that people will always live in worry and anxiety."
"But it's okay now. You have the strength and determination to rescue them. You can definitely accomplish this."
When Li Baiyi heard this, he smiled and shook his head and said: "Many things cannot be accomplished with determination. It also requires the right time, place and people."
"Now that I have stabilized them, I can investigate carefully. I must uncover these black sheep and bring peace to the people of the county."
"To deal with this group of people, you don't need any gentle means. Use whatever means are the most violent. In short, you must achieve your goal."
Speaking of this, Li Baiyi suddenly thought of something: "No, it was a miscalculation. These people are not necessarily so easy to deal with."
"What do you mean? What do you need to prepare?" he said innocently and doubtfully.
Li Baiyi frowned: "I don't have many people under my command now. Apart from you, they are the police officers who have dedicated themselves to the county."
"But they must have other things to do. They can't just help me investigate this case."
"Even if I do it forcefully, Li Haonan's people will definitely see it, and the gain outweighs the loss."
Tianzhen nodded: "This is indeed a problem, but it is nothing to you. You can ask your father and the emperor for help."
Li Baiyi immediately slapped his thigh and said: "Yes, as a dandy, when will I need to pull the team by myself? I don't need to use the existing team in vain."
She looked at him innocently and said, "What kind of team?"
Li Baiyi waved his hand and said: "It's not important, but my father's people can't be transferred casually, and I don't want my father to know, otherwise, he will be impatient and may send an army directly as soon as he learns about this matter. It will be difficult to save people if they wipe out their lair."
But Tianzhen rolled his eyes and said: "If you don't do this, you have no other choice."
Li Baiyi thought for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "There is a way. I can go to the emperor. This old guy definitely wants me to make some achievements in the county town of Dianzi, and he will definitely support me."
"No, the emperor is very powerful and willing to help me, but he likes to dig holes everywhere. If I don't pay attention, I might fall into the hole."
"I will not use his power unless absolutely necessary."
Tianzhen nodded: "Then you can only use the power of the Duke of Zhenguo."
"Let's go back and talk to dad."
Li Baiyi and the two of them rushed back to the Zhenguo Palace in a carriage.
After Emperor Huai'an left the city gate tower, he returned to the palace and was currently eating apples brought as tribute from foreign countries in the palace of Concubine Xi.
"Your Majesty, is this apple delicious?" Concubine Xi put the apple into Emperor Huai'an's mouth and asked with a smile.
"Of course it's delicious, especially the apples my concubine fed me."
After Emperor Huai'an finished speaking, he said with joy, "My beloved concubine, Li Baiyi really gave me a big surprise today. Even I didn't expect that this matter of officialdom could be solved so easily."
"Your Majesty, Li Baiyi's method is really so powerful, but it has not been implemented yet."
Emperor Huai'an waved his hand and said: "Even if his method does not succeed when implemented later, it will be okay. Anyway, I have moved the personnel of several ministries today, especially several of Prime Minister Guo's die-hard subordinates. Eliminated.”
"The position of the household department is also vacant. When the formation arranges suitable personnel, I don't believe that this household department will not be able to make money next year."
Concubine Xi nodded and said: "Your Majesty, this household department is very important. The person you choose must be reliable. You can't do it like before."
Emperor Huai'an sighed and said, "That's natural. This household is in charge of the world's money and food, and there is no room for mistakes."
"In the past ten years, the Ministry of Household Affairs has not lost money and had no money. When I encounter some big things, I want to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for money. They are not only unwilling to give me money, but also want me to give them some money. It is really unreasonable. .”
"Why does this household department have no money? It's because they are greedy. For such a big Dakun, even if one person takes out ten cents, it is a huge amount."
"Why did the Ministry of Accounts have no money in the end? Was it because some people embezzled it?"
"Of course, if we really investigate, it may not be easy to find out anything, so we have to be ruthless and catch them off guard."
Concubine Xi nodded: "But Your Majesty, do you really think Li Baiyi's method of rectifying officialdom is feasible?"
Emperor Huai'an nodded and said: "Of course it is feasible. His method can be said to be a drain on the bottom of the pot. Not only did it disrupt Prime Minister Guo's layout for so many years, it even gave me the opportunity to clean up his influence in the local area."
"As long as they come to the capital for assessment, all those who are not capable can be eliminated directly. If I know that some people are Prime Minister Guo's people, it is not impossible to directly eliminate them by taking the opportunity."
"Moreover, even if they pass the assessment, I can take the opportunity to investigate them when they come to the capital. Maybe when they return after passing the assessment, I will get the evidence and capture it on the spot."
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought that if people are taken so easily, the number of officials who will be taken down by then will be unimaginable."
Emperor Huai'an smiled: "You forgot, the scientific examination is about to start. If there are too many people, I can add more from the candidates who have passed the scientific examination."
"Although they may be inexperienced, they still have enthusiasm and want to change officialdom."
"As for those officials who failed the assessment, even if they fail the assessment, they can take the exam again next time."
"The rules are all set by me. Of course, they are whatever is appropriate."
"I don't believe it. After a few months, I still won't be able to fully control Dakun's officialdom."
"By the time Prime Minister Guo comes back, I'm afraid the imperial court and local officialdom will have been turned upside down."
"I'm afraid Prime Minister Guo never expected that his plan for so many years would be easily broken by Li Baiyi with such a move. He must not have a temper."
