Although Shen Kuan had not come to report the results yet, Yun Zheng knew the result just by looking at Si Cang's reaction.
Damn it!
The TV dramas I watched in my previous life were not in vain!
It’s just like in the TV series!
Moreover, their methods seem to be even more sophisticated than those in the TV dramas.
Not long after, Shen Kuan came hurriedly to report: "Your Highness, there is a partition one foot below the granary! There is nothing but sand under the partition!"
Sand?
Yun Zheng looked at Sicang coldly.
sure!
Fill the space below with sand, and there will be no hollow sound when you knock on it.
...
...
Look!
How cautious!
This is what a corrupt official looks like!
However, it must have taken a lot of manpower to fill so many granaries with sand and soil, right?
If you talk about cleverness, this isn't that smart.
Wouldn't it be simpler and more convenient to pile sandbags close to the wall of the granary?
"Go, bring him to me!"
Yun Zheng's face showed no emotion, he raised his hand and pointed at Sicang.
"yes!"
Chen Kuan took the order, stepped forward quickly, and brought Si Cang, who was like a puddle of mud, in front of Yun Zheng.
Si Cang trembled all over, and struggled to get up and kneel down, knelt down and kowtowed while crying: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I have been blinded by greed. Please spare my life..."
"Don't blame lard for everything. Lard didn't eat your rice."
Yun Zheng looked at Si Cang indifferently, "Tell me, who else was involved? Don't tell me that it was just you. I don't believe that a small Si Cang like you can have such great ability!"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng looked at Yao Xiangxun and others beside him intentionally or unintentionally.
Although he also knew that corrupt officials had always been killed throughout history, he did underestimate these people.
They didn't care about their own reputation anymore and tried their best to get food from Shuobei.
Do they still dare to attack food?
Do you really think you only know how to march and fight?
Facing Yun Zheng's gaze, Yao Xiangxun and several people around him couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads.
"Bang bang..."
The next moment, several people around Yao Xiangxun knelt down one after another.
Seeing the people around him kneeling down one by one, Yao Xiangxun felt despair in his heart and knelt down with a "bang".
Looking at the people kneeling down, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
This is really something that cannot be helped!
A simple check shows that nearly half of the officials in Shuofang have fallen.
This is just Shuofang, there are other cities I haven't visited yet.
For example, Moyang.
I have been the governor of Shuobei for such a long time, but I have never been to Moyang once.
Maybe the corruption there is even worse.
"You're admitting guilt so soon?"
Yun Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at the kneeling people. "You were so bold as to touch the grain in the government warehouse. Why are you so timid now? At least give me some sophistry and let me hear your sophistry!"
There is no need to check, they are all honest officials who abide by the law!
Upon investigation, it turns out they are all a bunch of jerk!
Yun Zheng did not fly into a rage, but instead remained extremely calm.
But it is this kind of calmness that makes people even more frightened.
This seems to be the calm before the storm!
"I deserve to die. Please show mercy, Your Majesty..."
"I am guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
"Your Highness, I was forced by them. I didn't want to do this..."
"Please, Your Majesty, have mercy..."
In an instant, several people started crying and shouting, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"You know how to beg for mercy now? Why didn't you think this would happen when you were corrupt?"
Yun Zheng still shook his head and smiled, and then ordered Shen Kuan: "Capture them all and interrogate them strictly! Including all the soldiers in the warehouse, capture them all!"
These people were stealing from their employer, and he didn't believe that the soldiers in the warehouse were not involved.
If all the warehouse soldiers just guarded the government warehouse honestly, how would these people have the chance to transport the grain out?
No snowflake is innocent in an avalanche!
Anyone involved in this matter must not be let off!
It just so happens that we can set an example in Shuobei!
Let others see the consequences of daring to commit corruption!
Corruption, yes!
Don’t let him find out if you can!
"yes!"
Shen Kuan took the order and waved his hand, and the guards captured all these people.
"Let's go!"
Yun Zheng greeted Jia Yao and walked out.
Sitting in the carriage, Yun Zheng finally showed a hint of anger on his face.
For a moment, he really wanted to make these corrupt officials taste the pain of being skinned.
However, thinking that executing them in this way was too easy, Yun Zheng forced himself to suppress the thought.
"I thought you weren't really angry!"
Jia Yao smiled and said, "You are such a smart person, you should understand that as long as there are clear levels in the world, corruption will never be completely eliminated!"
"call……"
Yun Zheng let out a long breath, "Everyone understands the principle, but it's another matter when you really encounter it! Moreover, they are tampering with the food!"
"Haven't you guessed it a long time ago?"
Jia Yao smiled calmly, "I am more curious, how did you know about their method of stealing from the inside?"
Yun Zheng first had people knock on the granary wall, and later he opened the granary directly for inspection.
Obviously, Yun Zheng already knew how to add partitions into the granary.
"Guess!"
Yun Zheng gave a perfunctory answer.
If you don't guess, could it be that you saw it from a TV drama?
Seeing that Yun Zheng was unwilling to say more, Jia Yao did not ask any more questions.
Yun Zheng closed his eyes and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
The matter of the Supervisory Commission is imminent.
There is no telling how many corruption cases like this there are in Shuobei.
However, he has not yet decided who will lead the Supervisory Commission.
Chen Bu is a suitable candidate.
Unfortunately, Chen Bu has too many things on his plate and cannot take care of the affairs of the Supervisory Yuan.
never mind!
Find the right person from the military!
It's more reassuring to see people in the military getting things done.
The personnel of the Overwatch Council must be selected from various tribes!
As he was thinking, Yun Zheng's gaze suddenly fell on Jia Yao again.
"Why do I feel like you have bad intentions?"
Jia Yao stared at Yun Zheng with a smile.
"I really didn't have good intentions, but I knew you wouldn't agree, so I didn't bother to ask."
Jia Yao is definitely the most suitable person to supervise the Supervisory Commission.
Unfortunately, Jia Yao is still busy with Beihuan’s affairs and has no time to help him supervise the Inspectorate!
Jia Yao smiled and asked, "How do you plan to deal with them?"
"All of you are punished!"
A cold light flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes.
If you don't want to be a good official, then go dig coal!
However, before that, we have to choose a smart person from among them!
Corrupt officials know corrupt officials best!
Allowing corrupt officials to serve as inspectors and make meritorious contributions while serving their sentences can increase work efficiency!
Those people in the military might not really understand the corrupt methods used by these corrupt officials.
"Combined punishment?"
Jia Yao was slightly surprised, "You are a bit too harsh!"
"There's nothing to blame."
Yun Zheng shook his head. "Since their families have enjoyed the money they embezzled, they must also bear the consequences!"
innocent?
How could there be so many innocent people?
They are just shameless people who enjoy the money they embezzle while shouting that they are innocent!
