By the second half of the second year of Jingyou, Huang Wei and Sun Mian were transferred away one after another, and then Yang Riyan and another Shouzhou prefect were transferred in.
The man was pulled into the water by them.
Later, the prefect was impeached by the censor for having committed illegal acts in other places before taking office in Shouzhou, so he was demoted. Last year, Lin Zhu took his place.
So this means that Lin Zhu was the third prefect after the corruption case and was not aware of what the previous two prefects had done.
But he was the governor of a place after all, so he naturally heard about any problems that happened in the local area.
Perhaps he had conducted a secret investigation and found out the truth, and he might even have vaguely guessed that Yang Riyan and Zhou Ling were also involved in the case.
It's just that he himself is not a person who has the courage to expose it. He is afraid of offending others and dares not take action.
Today, Zhao Jun forced him into a corner. If he didn't expose the truth, he would lose his official position. So he had no choice but to tell what he knew.
Yang Riyan and Zhou Ling were dragged into the situation by their predecessors and were also bribed by Huang Wei and Sun Mian. They did not directly participate in reselling disaster relief grain.
Therefore, Lin Zhu did not give them away.
The problem is that although Lin Zhu didn't know that the two of them were involved, once Huang Wei and Sun Mian were arrested, they would definitely be doomed.
For a moment, Yang Riyan and Zhou Ling appeared calm on the surface, but were actually very panicked inside.
"What a great Huang Wei, what a great Sun Mian."
Zhao Jun glanced at Yang Riyan and Zhou Ling and said coldly, "You two, one a transport envoy and the other a transport judge, are completely unaware of your predecessor's actions. Even if you weren't involved, you're still two foolish officials. Resign and wait at home."
Yang Riyan panicked and immediately said, "Minister, this is against court rules. If you want to dismiss me, you must obtain an imperial decree from His Majesty. How can you decide my position as the Huainan West Route Transport Commissioner with just one word?"
"Are you crazy?"
Zhao Jun frowned and said, "Under the new system, the Constitutional Court controls all officials. Any official in the world can be dismissed by the Constitutional Court. I am the head of the Constitutional Court. As long as I sign, not only will you be dismissed, but you will also be beheaded. Such a serious crime happened in Huainan West Road, and you were completely unaware of it. Do you think it is unfair for you to be dismissed?"
Yang Riyan's face suddenly turned pale and he began to tremble with fear.
The corrupt officials that the protagonist punishes along the way are actually foreshadowed in the previous chapters. Just follow this outline as you travel around the country. The problem is that I recently contracted mycoplasma, and then had a cold repeatedly. I've been in very bad condition for the past two days. Occasionally, I can only update once a day, which is also uncomfortable.
But even so, I have already updated 110,000 words this month, an average of 7,000 words a day, which is not particularly low. I hope I feel better soon.
A friend commented that my recent chapters have been dominated by dialogue, with relatively little description of the environment, making them seem thin. Those who have read the previous chapters know that I have a lot of description of the environment, but I have been really sick recently, with dizziness, a headache, a cough, and a runny nose. Writing those detailed descriptions of the environment is a real headache, and my mind goes blank, so I just can't write. It's so uncomfortable.
