Yue Kaijiang said solemnly: "The deputy prime minister is also the prime minister. It is natural for him to call Prime Minister Du a humble position. Yushitai has your majesty's trust, and I am afraid that he will go further in the future. It is very possible that Prime Minister Du will go further."
Du Gangfeng waved his hand and chuckled: "You said it nicely. Didn't you see the truth and left the coffins on the Yushitai? Punishing corrupt officials is an offending matter and is very dangerous."
Yue Kaijiang said: "Wherever the Tao is, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go there."
Du Gangfeng stopped chatting and immersed himself in reading the information, carefully checking the issues about the Song Qingshan family.
As an imperial merchant, the Song family monopolized businesses such as cloth and paper, and was even responsible for water transportation near Luoyang. In order to maintain the Song family's monopoly position, the Song family raised thugs, squeezed the coolies who handled the docks, beat people to death at every turn, and even committed murder and extortion.
The Song family's business is not based on moral business, let alone honest business, but on killing.
Although Song Qingshan was a member of the Ministry of Industry and was not a popular figure in the court, he used water transportation to smuggle pig iron, tea, wine, etc. to make profits. As for bullying the people and beating people to death, it was commonplace.
Song Qingshan was domineering and willful, and so was his son.
Someone was walking on the street and was beaten to death because he glanced at Song Qingshan's son from a distance. At the end of the incident, Song Qingshan's son and the passersby's family members were also killed.
In addition, Song Qingshan's network of relationships is very large, and all the people he associates with are distinguished people.
This is Xungui's spokesperson.
After reading the information, Du Gangfeng's eyes became murderous, and he wanted to deal with Song Qingshan immediately.
But he thought for a while, frowned and said: "The truth about Song Qingshan's problem is already known. But you only asked the question, where is the evidence? There is no evidence, so just say it."
Yue Kaijiang replied: "Reporting to Prime Minister Du, there are currently not enough manpower and there is indeed a lack of information. In addition, Song Qingshan is very cunning. For example, the murder of his son was directly framed by the thieves."
"The bandits killed people and fled, but the government did not investigate at all. Especially since His Majesty has only been in power for two years, the situation was too chaotic before, and many criminal evidences were lost. Further investigation requires more manpower and material resources."
"Right now, it's just been mentioned."
"Another example is the frequent beatings to death of people at the Water Transport Terminal, which was only done by Song Qingshan's subordinates."
"Song Qingshan is very rich and never accepts bribes."
Yue Kaijiang said in a deep voice: "The more this happens, the more it proves that Song Qingshan is a big fish, because he raises countless thugs, and both black and white will eat them all. If Song Qingshan is not captured, there will be big moths."
Du Gangfeng said: "You go down and wait for other people's information to be sent up. I will consider it after comparing it. I can't make a direct judgment at the moment."
Yue Kaijiang hesitated to speak, and finally turned around and retreated.
Du Gangfeng thought carefully in his heart.
In the evening, all the officials at Yushitai sent directions for inspection.
After Du Gangfeng read them all, he summoned all the officials at the Yushitai overnight and said in a deep voice: "I have read all the information submitted by everyone."
"Someone reported that the local magistrate relied on his wife to sell his body to get promoted and make a fortune."
"Some people have also reported that several officials in Lantian County are jealous of women."
"There are also people who reported on the noble children and beat them to death in order to compete for the courtesan of the brothel."
"Damn it, what the Yushitai wants to handle is a big case. Of course in the future, no matter it is a big case or a small case, we must handle it together. But at this stage, the first time the Yushitai really does something, it must be a big one .”
Du Gangfeng looked coldly and said, "If you want to be promoted and gain His Majesty's respect, you must be attentive. Can corrupt officials be punished by engaging in trivial matters?"
The officials at Yushitai each had their own thoughts.
Du Gangfeng's words revealed a lot of information, and he wanted to be a blockbuster.
Regardless of the thoughts of the people below, Du Gangfeng pointed to the coffin in the lobby and said: "Why did the truth bring the coffin? It is to uphold the spirit of not being afraid of death and to eradicate corrupt officials."
"I also take this opportunity to hope that you will change your mind."
"The capable ones go up and the weak ones go down."
"It is no longer possible to fish in the troubled waters of the Yushitai and rely on fluffy impeachment charges on unfounded charges. Those days are over. The next promotion reward and punishment standard of the Yushitai is that whoever can handle major cases will be rewarded. .”
After Du Gangfeng said something, the people at Yushitai started to discuss in an uproar.
A few people are not willing to change, because drinking tea and reading the newspaper makes life relaxing and comfortable without any pressure. More people are excited inside because the opportunity has come.
After Du Gangfeng said something, he took out the information about Song Qingshan collected by Yue Kaijiang, passed it on to everyone, and said solemnly: "Song Qingshan's problem is very serious and involves a wide range of things. It is a big case."
"The truth dictates an investigation."
"Our investigations are either conducted secretly or with great fanfare."
"Currently, we only have these information, and there is no evidence of guilt. Whoever finds out the evidence of guilt and obtains conclusive evidence is a meritorious service. We will discuss the merits after Song Qingshan is investigated and dealt with this time."
Du Gangfeng's eyes were sharp and he further said: "The opportunity has been given to all of you. Whether you can do it or not depends entirely on you."
Yue Kaijiang took the lead and said loudly: "Promise to complete the mission."
Others also spoke.
The vast majority of people are very excited because the opportunity is clearly in front of them.
Du Gangfeng did not hide it, and organized the investigation with great fanfare. It was clear that he wanted to set an example, and he also used this to compete with Song Qingshan.
Everyone went to take action, but Yue Kaijiang did not go home. He stayed directly at Yushitai Shuya today.
The news of Du Gangfeng's investigation clearly reached Song Qingshan's ears. At night, he once again contacted Chang Biao, Ximen Bao and other noble princes throughout the night, asking more people to impeach Du Gangfeng.
Whether it was Du Gangfeng or Song Qingshan, when they were all making plans, another day passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Shan came out of Jiang Yuhuang's yard early in the morning and began to deal with government affairs. Just after handling a batch of government affairs in the morning, I received many memorials from officials, all impeaching Du Gangfeng.
Some people impeached Du Gangfeng for grandstanding and even carrying the coffin to the censor's stage, which was offensive; some people impeached Du Gangfeng for directly targeting the people and acting tyrannically; others impeached Du Gangfeng for accepting bribes.
In short, there are all kinds of reasons, really diverse.
Zhao Shan read them all and found that two of the officials who impeached Du Gangfeng were from Yushitai, and most of the others were noble officials.
These people are not imperial officials, they only have titles and casual official positions.
Very few people in the DPRK participated in the impeachment.
Zhao Shan had a smile on his face, and Du Gangfeng openly stated that he wanted to investigate. It was a clever move to lure these people out. Song Qingshan is the person who connects the Xungui family and is the spokesperson of Xungui.
Such people need to be dealt with more.
After reading the memorial, Zhao Shan ordered: "Zhang Xu, notify Du Gangfeng to come."
"As you command!"
Zhang Xu made arrangements.
Not long after, Du Gangfeng hurriedly entered the hall, saluted Zhao Shan and said: "Your Majesty, Du Gangfeng, pays homage to your Majesty."
Zhao Shan joked: "Du Qing took office with a coffin, and now he wants to investigate Song Qingshan with great fanfare. The matter is really big."
Du Gangfeng said: "Report to your majesty, if you don't make a big fuss, how could these people jump out? The Yushitai must handle affairs in an upright and upright manner. There is no need to hide them. This is to scare Song Qingshan and make him make random moves. "
Zhao Shan pointed to the pile of memorials in front of him and said: "Song Qingshan has made a move. These memorials are all to impeach you. Some people say that you disturb Luoyang, some say that you accept bribes, and some say that you are grandstanding, and even say that you colluded with Zhao Rui conspired to rebel..."
thump!
Du Gangfeng's eyes were eager, and he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I have acted upright and without any selfish motives. Please tell me clearly."
Zhao Shan stood up and walked to Du Gangfeng, held up Du Gangfeng and said: "Du Qing, since I have used you, I believe in you and will support you with all my strength. In a word, you are like green mountains, and I am like pines and cypresses. We will never meet you. burden!"
