◎Incorruptible! Untainted by mud.◎
Since these people are all claiming to be honest officials, no one will admit that they are corrupt officials.
But it doesn't matter. In this case, it's not enough to deny it. We still need to look at the evidence.
Everyone is in a friendly mood right now, so it's not good to turn against each other and settle accounts on the spot. But if they really find out something later, it won't look good.
And according to the attitude of Master Kang in dealing with those corrupt officials before, these people will definitely have to pay the price in the end.
[Isn't that the governor of Suzhou, Mr. So-and-so, the one who openly shouted "Three years as an honest governor, 100,000 taels of silver"? So, you have been in office for five or six years, and you must have made 200,000 taels of silver, right? ]
[You are so rich, shouldn't you donate 150,000 or 160,000 taels of silver as a token of your appreciation? 】
【Oh, and the Yangzhou prefect, you are going to retire, so don't bother yourself like that, okay? To put it bluntly, you are already half buried in the ground, but you still have to learn to play the "one pear tree overshadows the crabapple tree" game. It is really too shameless. 】
【I heard that you took two concubines in the house yesterday. The two girls are only fourteen or fifteen years old. They can really be your granddaughters. You are still here to promote your incorruptibility... You are lying. 】
【And this county magistrate...】
【That governor...】
While Mo Yu was looking at the people who were waiting for the carriage, he had already revealed the explosive information about each person.
Although it was just a few words, it was very sharp, and there was a feeling of "killing with one blow".
Many of these prefects, county magistrates and other local officials met Mo Yu for the first time, or although it was not the first time to meet Mo Yu, it was the first time to appreciate Mo Yu's "magic power" of expressing his inner voice.
After all, this was the first time they were so close to Mo Yu.
Being publicly executed at such a close distance was also a very rare experience.
Almost no one could bear it.
Unfortunately, like all the predecessors who had experienced the same thing before, they could only let Mo Yu lose his power and had no way to stop him…
If it were Master Kang or Lin Ruhai, they could have interrupted Mo Yu’s spellcasting in a clever way. After all, their status and position were there. One was the supreme monarch, and the other was the biological father of Mo Yu’s body. They had more right to speak than these other people.
It was a pity that these corrupt officials, big and small, who were specially portrayed as honest officials, broke down one after another in the face of Mo Yu’s ruthless complaints, and their faces turned pale. They just waited for Master Kang to arrange someone to “collect the body” and collect a lot of money.
This set of procedures has become very mature after this period of patrol. Especially Lin Ruhai, who had already mastered the trade and could do "buy one get one free" deals.
The local officials in the Jiangnan region were trembling with fear, but it seemed that they could do nothing except waiting for Master Kang's decision.
Among all those who turned dirty in an instant, only Chen Pengnian, the governor of Jiangning, was alone and independent, with a sense of being untainted by the mud.
Of course he could be so proud.
Because he was indeed an upright official who was untainted by the mud.
Because he had a clear conscience, his words and deeds were all graceful, worthy of being a scholar. This whole demeanor was actually somewhat similar to Lin Ruhai.
Mo Yu had already made a detailed understanding of the life of this Mr. Chen from System 006, so he had always had a good impression of him.
He also wanted to help him through this dark period in his career - after all, anyone who could be targeted by two corrupt officials, Ashan and Galin, must be really miserable.
But it is precisely because of this that it can be more clear that this Mr. Chen is an honest official.
Only honest officials will be hated by corrupt officials. It is really like a thorn in the back and a thorn in the throat when seeing him, and he must be eliminated as soon as possible.
In fact, if it weren't for the good luck of this Mr. Chen, he would have ended up like another Mr. Chen who edited books.
Speaking of that old man Chen Menglei, Mo Yu couldn't help sighing. If a person is unlucky, even drinking a sip of cold water will get stuck in his teeth - the old man must not know that his friend who he trusted wholeheartedly would actually stab him in the back.
Fortunately, this Mr. Chen was luckier than him. He was finally rescued by Master Kang himself and could return to Beijing to edit books without being exiled to the northeast.
Not only that, in two years, this Mr. Chen was able to return to Suzhou to serve as a prefect.
Later, he became the governor of Jiangnan, but unfortunately, he encountered Galin's troubles not long after.
He was almost beheaded and exiled, but it was Master Kang who rescued him in the end.
After being frustrated and exiled for many years, Chen Pengnian still stayed in the Jiangnan area and has been managing the river...
To a certain extent, the ideals of river management of this Mr. Chen and Master Kang are quite unified.
I don't know if it is because of this kind of "mutual appreciation" in the dark, anyway, Master Kang protected Chen Pengnian twice, which is a rare act of loving talent.
Chen Pengnian did not disappoint Master Kang's trust. He worked diligently for more than ten years to manage the river, and finally died in office as the governor of the river.
People who insist on justice are always admired. People who insist on justice and the right things are even more respectful.
This Lord Chen Pengnian is obviously such a person.
Therefore, not only Master Kang, but even Mo Yu can't help but feel good about him, thinking of helping him if he can.
But this Lord Chen is not only an honest and upright official, but also has the same style of treating people.
Mo Yu had just admired his life in his heart, and this Lord Chen couldn't help but report to Master Kang about the river management situation in Jiangning Prefecture... Well, I don't know if it was intentional, anyway, it just happened to interrupt Mo Yu's fantasy.
The other officials present couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, finally they didn't have to be attacked indiscriminately by this little god from the Lin family.
To be honest, they were really scared.
After all, both Gari and Ashan had fallen, who would dare to look down on this young Lord Lin?
He is not young at all, he is very capable.
Well, now the only wish is to be sentenced to a few fewer years, so that he can be left with an intact body by then...
Chen Pengnian seemed to be completely oblivious to this, as if he had not heard Mo Yu's thoughts at all. He continued to report everything he should report before stopping.
He was not too old now. After all, a man who was only sixty years old would not be old...
Mo Yu once again read Chen Pengnian's life from System 006, and only then did he find that this Mr. Chen was only forty-two years old.
He thought about it in the real world, and his colleagues of this age were still the "mainstay" and "business backbone" of the unit. How could they be like Mr. Chen, who was prematurely aged? It was probably because he worked too hard for the people, so he died at the age of sixty?
After all, it was flood control, a notoriously tough job, and this Lord Chen was the one who led by example and did everything himself, which was even worse.
[Alas, it was thanks to Master Kang that he finally got the man out of exile, otherwise Lord Chen would have to die there for his health.] [
But then again, Master Kang, don’t you have so many skilled doctors and precious medicinal herbs? Why don’t you give some to your meritorious officials?]
[They worked so hard for the country and the people, and they worked until their death, and you really just watched them die? To put it bluntly, you have money to go on tour, but why don't you have money to increase the salaries of these honest officials? 】
【Ah, looking at it this way, he is not really the "greatest emperor of all time."
Mo Yu's last sentence was originally just an unintentional act, but he never expected that it would have an unexpected effect - Master Kang was immediately caught off guard and even took action immediately, determined to correct the false impression that the little kid from the Lin family had of him.
What do you mean I am not really the "greatest emperor of all time"?
I am obviously the "greatest emperor of all time", okay?
Thinking of this, Master Kang immediately issued an order to summon the imperial physician to examine the officials present, and turned a welcoming banquet into a free clinic for the southern tour.
