Chapter 1345: The Emperor's Determination

Shanxi, Taiyuan.

Zeng Yishu walked around the hall with a little anxiety. Sitting at the bottom were Li Qi, the left governor of Shanxi and Pan Zixu, the right governor of Shanxi. These two local officials from Shanxi were also full of sorrow.

Such a big thing happened in Taicang, Shanxi. Although the local government does not care about Taicang, because Taicang colluded with the local government to resell grain storage and use inferior products as good ones, the local government's responsibilities cannot be escaped.

When Zeng Yishu arrived in Shanxi, he blocked Taicang in a flash and investigated the situation. All the unknown things that had been covered were exposed. Then Zeng Yishu was directly arrested by the Jinyiwei, but he did not let the local area intervene. He investigated it thoroughly in a few seconds.

This is thanks to Zeng Yishu's preparations when he came. In addition, Zeng Yishu was responsible for the original Taicang setting, so he knew Taicang very well.

While Zeng Yishu was taking action in Shanxi, his deputy also launched the same in Shaanxi. None of the people involved in the case ran away and arrested them.

Zeng Yishu is not clear about the situation in other provinces, but there are more than 200 people involved in the case in Taicang in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Among these people, the highest official positions are Supervisor Lin Shixin and Cao Shilun. The supervisor is the highest official in the province responsible for Taicang. His official position is the fourth rank. As a key position in the court, Taicang has a great power in the supervisory position, and this position is also promoted quickly. As long as you work safely and steadily, it will be easy to transfer to the local government to participate in politics.

But who would have thought that the supervision of the two places would be stolen, and their methods were exactly the same. Apart from these two people, there were also many other officials at all levels, including officials. In addition to local officials colluding with them, they formed a huge corruption network, which was shocking.

"Zhongtang, what do you think the court will deal with this matter?" Seeing Zeng Yishu walking around, right governor Pan Zixu couldn't help but ask.

Although he did not participate in this matter, the people below participated. As one of the big bosses of a province, he and the Zuo Gongshu Li Qi naturally had a responsibility.

The apology for the guilt has been handed over, but the news of the court's handling of this has not yet come out, and the two of them are uneasy.

Zeng Yishu shook his head but didn't say anything.

He knew that this matter was small, and the court might deal with it severely. But Zeng Yishu didn't know what to do in the end, and now he was waiting for news from the court.

Pan Zixu opened his mouth and was about to continue saying something, but suddenly he stopped and the sound of horse hooves came from outside. The three people in the hall were stunned at the same time. Zeng Yishu led the way without hesitation and walked out, with Li Qi and Pan Zixu following closely.

"Tieya Gong, why are you here?"

I originally thought that the person who came was just an ordinary imperial envoy, but who expected that Zeng Yishu was shocked when he saw the person coming. The person who came was the former Chief Military Minister, the Left Censor, and the current Minister of Justice Shi Yizhi.

Shi Yi got off his horse, his face turned pale. He nodded slightly to Zeng Yishu, then glanced at Li Qi and Pan Zixu who were standing behind him, and then walked straight in without saying anything.

Zeng Yishu and others hurriedly followed him back to the hall. Shi Yizhi stood in the hall and took out an imperial edict.

"Imperial Order!"

"My teacher Zeng Yishu (My teacher Li Qi...My teacher Pan Zixu...), kowtow to the imperial edict..."

"Feng, the heavens carry the fortune, and the emperor's system says..."

Shi Yizhi read the imperial edict. The content of the imperial edict was nothing more than a format text. Then he talked about the Taicang case. The content behind it made Zeng Yishu and others sweat. Zhu Yicheng directly scolded these borers in the imperial edict. The words were unconcealed murderous intent. In the end, Zhu Yicheng was even more murderous. He severely punished local officials. The left and right governors who were jointly and severally liable were demoted to second-level posts and fined three years of salary. Other major prisoners involved in this case did not need to wait until after the autumn to directly understand the canon in the local area.

The main culprit abandoned the market and confiscated his family property. The man of his clan was exiled and the woman was admitted to the Jiaofangsi. The accomplice was executed and the family property was confiscated according to the severity of the circumstances. The third generation of his clan could not be an official...

After reading all of it, Shi Yizhi put away the imperial edict and looked coldly at the three people kneeling in front of him: "Mr. Zeng, why don't you accept the imperial edict?"

"I received the order..." Zeng Yishu was stunned by the contents of the order and did not react for a while, so he quickly responded.

After handing the imperial edict to Zeng Yishu, Shi Yizhi's expression calmed down: "Mr. Zeng, the emperor's meaning is to be strict, heavier, and quicker!"

"I understand, but I have killed so many people at once, Taicang's operation..."

"Don't worry too much about this." Shi Yi waved his hand and said, "When I came here, I had brought some people from Beijing, and I could take over Taicang's operation. In addition, the local area could also be used to adjust parts to fill in the inadequacies." Speaking of this, Shi Yi looked at Li Qi and Pan Zixu directly: "Two adults need to pay attention to this matter!"

"I understand, I will cooperate to ensure Taicang's operation." The two of them replied quickly, wiping their sweat, and at the same time, they felt relieved.

Although they didn't know about the Taicang case before, after all, this incident occurred in Shanxi, and the two senior government officials in Shanxi could not escape joint and several liability. They originally thought that they would be unlucky and even lost their posts and dismissed, but who would have thought that although they were dealing with it very heavily in the end, they would give them a chance to turn things around. This was an unexpected surprise for them.

After the imperial edict was announced, Shi Yizhi's attitude eased and asked Li Qi and Pan Zixu to make arrangements first. After they left, Shi Yizhi and Zeng Yishu sat down separately. At this time, Zeng Yishu asked why he left the capital.

"I can't do it if I don't go this trip." Shi Yizhi shook his head and sighed: "Even the Censor of the Censor has been involved in this case, so I have to go this trip."

Zeng Yishu then understood what was going on. Shi Yizhi was the boss of Kedao. At that time, he was the Zuodu Censor. It can be said that Kedao officers were his subordinates, and many of the supervisors were his subordinates.

This time, the Taicang case involves a wide range of issues, from local governments to Kedao and to the Military Affairs Office. The results of this series of findings were shocking.

Now Shi Yizhi is the Minister of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice is responsible for this matter. In addition, the reason why Kedao is involved, Zhu Yicheng took this account of this matter and asked Shi Yizhi to go on this trip as a minister.

"The emperor was furious in this case. There are some things that need not be hidden from you. The emperor even made a speech at the meeting. Even if the northwest troops were delayed this year, it must be severely punished."

Zeng Yishu nodded to express his understanding that although he had some opinions on Zhu Yicheng's tough approach to dealing with him, in his original opinion, the main culprit in the case was dead, but some of the other followers involved had the means to kill him, but some could be sentenced lightly, or even raised high and fell gently.

Who would have thought that Zhu Yicheng was so determined to kill one to warn him? Now, it is normal to think about it carefully. The Taicang case is not a small case. If this case is not handled severely, it will inevitably give the world an illusion, and the subsequent administration will be even more difficult.
