Chapter 1744 Questioning
"grown ups--"
"Clerk Fang failed to protect the account book. He failed in his duty. I will fine him two months' salary. And you openly challenged the authority of your superiors and did not take them seriously. What crime should you be punished for?"
"grown ups!"
Guanzhou Cheng's face turned red and white, he staggered a few steps and almost fell down.
"Your humble servant, your humble servant really doesn't have such thoughts, sir! This, this is just your humble servant's confusion from the beginning to the end, and he was just talking out of the blue..."
"Then I will punish you, do you accept it?"
Guanzhou Cheng felt depressed.
It's so frustrating.
He is not stupid either.
He knew that he was too eager for quick success and was fooled by Shao Yunduan.
Shao Yunduan is not unaware of what he has done in the past few days, nor is he so generous as to tolerate what he has done in the past few days. Instead, he is waiting for him here!
He had lost his mind. When he returned to the yamen, he found that everything was different from before. Nothing was going well, and there were not so many people praising and fawning on him. He was furious and unwilling to accept this, so he had to try to regain his prestige.
Unfortunately, Shao Yunduan remained silent, which made him even more arrogant, and finally he couldn't stop.
But Shao Yunduan suddenly seized his mistake at this moment and dealt him a heavy blow.
The facts were there, and he couldn't even tell them apart.
He was careless and was bewitched step by step by this bastard and fell for his trick!
Guanzhou Cheng was frightened and angry, and his resentment was even greater. He was so angry that he thought to himself, he was just relying on his position as the prefect! He was just relying on this! He was relying on this to bully others!
If I were the prefect, what would Shao Yunduan be? How could he possibly plot against me...
He didn't lose to anyone else, he lost to the prefect.
But originally, the position of prefect should have been his! He had worked so hard for so many years, this should have been his...
Shao Yunduan snatched away the position that belonged to him and wanted to trample him into the mud.
"Your subordinate, your subordinate will obey your Excellency..."
Shao Yunduan: "You should not listen to me, but to the rules of the court! Receive the punishment according to the law. If you do it again next time, I will double the punishment! As long as you do your job well, fulfill your duties, and be loyal to the court, I will not treat you unfairly. However, if anyone has a sneaky idea of abusing power for personal gain, deceiving superiors and subordinates, deceiving others without reason, relying on seniority to bully others, or even betraying the government and me, I will never let him off easily!"
All the clerks inside and outside the room heard it clearly, but they were terrified and kept their heads down subconsciously.
Especially those who had ulterior motives, they dared not say a word, for fear that Shao Yunduan would bring up old grievances.
Guanzhou Cheng was punished to serve for half a year. Shao Yunduan immediately assigned several important matters that he was originally in charge of to other people, who reported to him directly for instructions, which basically sidelined Guanzhou Cheng's position.
From then on, the Guanzhou Cheng no longer had any real power.
After this incident, the clerks understood that in this state government, they had to listen to Lord Shao and follow the rules. All the previous things were invalidated. The governor's words did not count...
Shao Yunduan did not implicate everyone, but Hu the clerk who tried to grab the key, and the other two lackeys of Guanzhou Cheng who jumped around the most, were directly kicked out of the provincial government and no longer employed.
Hu Shuli and the other two cried out for justice and begged for mercy. The facts were all there, and Shao Yunduan was too lazy to say anything more to them. He simply ordered the bailiffs to take the people out and posted an official notice explaining the reasons why the three were fired, to prevent them from spreading nonsense and rumors outside.
