When Xue Yuan stared at people, it was like a carnivorous beast staring at the prey that was about to arrive.
No matter how nice what he said, Gu Yuanbai couldn't be moved. Instead, he felt that there was something in Xue Yuan's words, either he was pretending, or he was gloating in his heart.
The first impression is really important. The first impression, second impression, and third impression that Xue Yuan left on Gu Yuanbai... are not very good. Now, when he says something similar to concern, the effect is not as good as that of Tian Fusheng or Tian Fusheng. Zhang Xu, the captain of the guard, said it well.
Therefore, the smile and softness that Xue Yuan wanted to see did not appear on Sheng Shang's face. Instead, he nodded perfunctorily, and then closed the car window without hesitation.
The windows were closed, and the wind blew the hair on Xue Yuan's temples.
Xue Yuan stiffened for a moment, and then slowly straightened up. He smiled and raised his hand to touch the corner of his lips expressionlessly, thinking, is he so scary when he laughs
Gu Yuanbai, what does he mean.
It was at this moment that the captain of the guard on the other side of the carriage also approached and persuaded warmly across the carriage: "Your Majesty, all the adults will handle this matter well, don't worry, the dragon's body is the most important thing."
The saint in the car sighed and replied warmly, "I'm fine, no need to worry."
Zhang Xu smiled and straightened up and said no more. Suddenly, he felt a sight that was definitely not kind. He looked back along the line of sight, and saw Xue Yuan who was looking at him expressionlessly.
The sage said that he would learn more from Xue Yuan, and the captain of the guard smiled, very calmly and prudently maintaining the demeanor of the captain of the imperial guard.
Xue Yuan retracted his gaze, looked at his hand, and slowly tightened the reins.
The actions of the Censor's Office and the Supervision Office continued.
Before anti-corruption, Gu Yuanbai had set aside more than a month, so that those who had the ability to detect that the saint had anti-corruption intentions and the ability to make up for the money they had embezzled had time to make up for it. These people can't move now, so Gu Yuanbai only asks them to spit out everything they eat, so they can open one eye and close the other.
And the remaining people who were not able to accept Gu Yuanbai's signal in advance, let alone resist Gu Yuanbai.
On the bright side, the Censor's desk will not show mercy. The wave in the dark was even more ruthless. After half a month, the attack was often able to completely bring down those corrupt officials who dealt with the scene.
The bigger the check, the bigger the check. People in various states and counties who are not in good standing are beginning to feel uneasy. Some officials are still trying to make up the gap, while some officials plan to run away with the money.
Qingzhou, Shandong.
A county magistrate was hurriedly packing his bags and preparing to escape with his family. The sky was dark outside the window, and it was a good time to leave the city. A carriage has been prepared outside the door, and gold and silver treasures are piled up in half the space in the carriage. The official sat in the carriage, looking frightened and sweating profusely on his forehead.
His wife sat by the side, also uneasy, "We just escaped like this?"
The official said fiercely: "Is it possible to run away? Are you going to take out all the gold and silver in the family to fill the corruption loophole?! Even if you want to, we don't have so much money!"
Madam stopped talking, looking at the gold and silver in the car with greed eyes.
The two carriages came under the city gate, and the official lifted the curtain and said to the guards: "Open the door and let this official go out of the city!"
Seeing that it was an adult in the city, the guards quickly retreated and opened the city gate.
In the darkness of the night, the carriage drove out leisurely, and the official picked up his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat on his face, unable to believe that he had come out so easily.
The wife had already laughed, and the official looked at her smile, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart. But he was out of town, and the carriage drove all night, and who would know where he went the next day
The official also laughed, but the smile of escaping after the disaster didn't last long when the carriage stopped suddenly, the inside of the car shook for a while, and the official and his wife were dizzy.
"What's the matter!" The official stabilized himself and shouted angrily, "Can't you drive?!"
It was quiet outside, and no one answered him. The official's heart jumped, and the bad premonition struck again.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, and suddenly his heart stopped with fright.
On the road outside, there was a group of chariots holding torches to surround his two carriages. Everyone was neatly dressed and equipped with big knives. The faces reflected by the torches were majestic and terrifying.
The leader walked over to a man in an official robe. He looked at the county magistrate who was about to escape and laughed: "Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning, are you planning to escape?"
The county magistrate exclaimed: "You—"
The originally taciturn Xiancheng sneered twice, his normally bent spine seemed to straighten up suddenly, his eyes were burning, he looked at Zhao Ning and said loudly: "If I'm here, don't try to escape! You eat so much. A lot of people's fat and people's cream, do you want to escape like this?! Don't even think about it! I will arrest you now, and when the Holy Superintendent's inspection team arrives in Huangpu City, I will hand you over to them for interrogation!"
The county magistrate said sharply, "I have nothing to worry about with you!"
The torches illuminated everyone's faces in the darkness, dispelling the chill. The county magistrate glanced at every one of the people around who was holding torches, and then said word by word, "You think we just want to do something wrong for you. Do you think we just want to be scolded by the people?! This is Huangpu City! It's not your money nest! What dare we not? The court has come to investigate corruption, what else can we dare to do!"
At the end of his speech, his fists were already clenched, his blue veins popped out of excitement, and his eyes were full of hot tears.
Some of the arresters behind them couldn't help but let out angry and painful low-pitched curses. These voices were spread one by one, and everyone who went against their conscience and closed their eyes could not help but think of the people in the city.
Corrupt official Zhao Ning looked at this group of people and lowered his head decadently.
This kind of thing happens everywhere.
A good official with a heart for the people stood up and took the lead in capturing the evidence of corrupt officials and their corruption within the government, just waiting for the court to send someone to check. In some places, no officials have stood up, that is, people who can read, and scholars who have written correspondence with the capital. After they learned of the anti-corruption action and the strength, something ignited in their hearts. They gathered together bravely, and then called on the people to stop the corrupt officials from tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, so that they dared not move or make up for the money they embezzled.
"Everyone!" The scholars were sweating profusely, but they tried their best to tell the people about the court's anti-corruption activities over and over again. They spoke dryly, loudly and firmly, "The court will definitely catch corrupt officials. The sage will definitely punish these people who are fishy people!"
Daheng Dynasty's speech was relatively free, but in this bureaucratic system, they would not be unaware of the consequences of offending officials by scholars who were not yet officials. If they did, and the court didn't detect corrupt officials, they would be worse off than dead.
But they looked at the peasants who were looking forward to it, and the people who shouted "Sacred is all grace" and "corrupt officials should be damned". Their chests were full of energy. Such emotions made them face these corrupt officials. When he was a filthy official, he became even tougher.
And these good officials, scholars, and common people have made great efforts to create a great situation for the court, and the court will never waste it.
Recently, there has been a thing called "Daheng Guobao" in the capital. It is sold in Zhang's bookstore in the west of Beijing, and only 100 copies are sold every day.
The above article has been following up the anti-corruption process from time to time. The provincial governments have recently sacked officials, embezzled things, and implicated them. They are all recorded on it one by one. In addition, there are also touching deeds from various places, the views and benefits of people in various places on anti-corruption, etc. There is no shortage of them. The anti-corruption activities at the national level have been thoroughly brought under the eyes of the people, and the people in the capital are scrambling for the first place. Before dawn, I lined up at the door of Zhang's bookstore, wanting to see the contents of the "Daheng Guobao" for the first time.
For some unknown reason, the people in the capital looked at these things like precious treasures, and whenever they saw the tears of joy pouring down from the people in various places when they saw officials falling from their horses, their eyes were not consciously wet, and they secretly wiped them. go to tears. When I saw the gratitude and praise from other prefectures and counties to the saint, I was so proud that I couldn't wait to laugh at the sky.
The content of such articles can easily condense the people of a country, to condense their sense of belonging to the country and their support for the ruler.
This is naturally Gu Yuanbai's handwriting.
teahouse.
The storyteller took a handful of wake-up wood and held a copy of "Daheng Guobao" in his hand, and he said loudly: "...The county magistrate of Huangpu City, with all the arresters, will bring the magistrate of the corrupt official to the police. He was pushed back into the city! The people who heard about this were unable to go out because of the curfew, so they looked at the window through the crack of the window and the door. They wanted to celebrate with joy, but they had to cover their mouths, out of fear. disturbed the sleeping child."
"The people of Huangpu City consciously guard the city gate every day before the supervision officials of our imperial court arrive, and do not allow outsiders to enter or leave, and strictly prevent the county magistrate from escaping. After our supervision officials arrive, they will thoroughly investigate the county magistrate's mansion and the local granary. , sure enough, a big corruption was found! The supervisory officials spent three days to count the amount of corruption by the county magistrates in Huangpu City." The storyteller sneered and woke up again, "It's a full 300,000 taels! The income of a thousand households in Huangpu City for ten years! The amount of embezzlement cannot be said. Our supervisory officials can't bear it, and the sage can't bear it! When it was dealt with, the whole city cheered, and the old farmer who worked hard but was robbed all had tears in his eyes."
"Children don't understand the sorrow of their parents and grandfathers, but they are also joyful. Parents and grandfathers wiped away their tears, which wet the front of the clothes. It is also the joy of the county magistrate Zhao Ning's current situation and gratitude to the present day. Zhao Ning beheaded Zhao Ning. That day was even more empty, and the sound of applause could resonate in a radius of a hundred miles, only to hear that the hour had come, the knife fell, and Zhao Ning was decapitated!"
"it is good!"
There was applause from the audience, and everyone was excited and excited, "What about after that? What about the money found from the corrupt officials' homes?!"
The storyteller said with a smile: "Before our sage sent people to start the anti-corruption campaign, we had already established regulations. Some of the money collected from corrupt officials in various places was kept locally for construction purposes, and it was naturally used by the people. To the people. A part was sent to the imperial court to be used as the treasury.”
"The word "construction" is still mentioned in the newspaper, which means the establishment of furnishings, and the part of the money left by the saint in the local area is also used to build roads!"
"Build the road," muttered the man below, "it's about to start building the road."
In the teahouse seat, Gu Yuanbai held a glass of water, but he was absorbed in listening to the passionate words of the storyteller downstairs, and for a moment he forgot to taste the tea.
After listening to the enthusiastic discussion of the road construction, he smiled slightly and took a sip of tea.
What the people yearn for, the court can do, is the most convincing way to win people's hearts and gather people's hearts.
