quiet!

The hall was as quiet as death, and everyone, including Di Renjie, showed an incredible look.

Although the third-rank Luozhou master has little power, his grade is not low. You should know that Di Renjie, who is only a third-rank.

It only took Chen Yuan, a seventh-rank magistrate, to be promoted to third-rank rank, strictly speaking, it only took four months.

Looking at this speed, only one person in the Great Zhou can compare with that - the host of White Horse Temple, Xue Huaiyi, Duke of E!

That’s right, Feng Xiaobao, who made a living by selling aphrodisiacs on Luoyang Street a few years ago.

Relying on his good figure, this man rushed to the position of Duke in just a few years.

Now there is another Shenyuan, which makes everyone wonder whether this kid has followed Xue Huaiyi's old path.

Seeing that the ministers looked strange, Wu Zetian snorted coldly.

"Does the family of the ministers still have this report?"

"I will report to Your Majesty, I will give you my comment!"

The Minister of War stood up and said: Our Great Zhou army has gathered in the Russell Khan Mountain area a few days ago.

‘When the Jinwu Guard General Lou Shide arrives, he can attack the Tufan army!’

"I urge the court to allocate three million taels of military pay for the army to purchase food and grass!"

"allow!"

Wu Zetian agreed without thinking about it. The reason was that Zhao Wenhui's case of corruption can be copied at least several million taels.

With this money, it is enough for the front-line army to defeat the Tufan people.

Just as the court was discussing national affairs, snowflakes floated in Yingzhou far north.

"Sir, as you tell me, all officials who embezzle more than one thousand taels of corruption will be detained alone."

Hu Er lifted the curtain and walked in while slapping the snow on his body, and said worriedly: You said that so many prisoners can be executed, can the court agree?

Hearing this, Chen Yuan put down his pen, looked at the heavy snow outside the door, and said lightly.

"The Great Zhou Law clearly stipulates that anyone who embezzled and accepted bribes of more than 1,000 taels will be killed and executed, and those who are less than 500 taels of taels will be 80 sticks and exiled on foot for 3,000 miles!"

"Do you think the court will agree?"

Hu Er thought for a while and shook his head.

"I don't think it's possible. No matter whether the court wants to or not, it's impossible to kill so many people. At best, a few of them took the lead."

"Yes." Chen Yuan stood up and came to the door, reached out to take a handful of snowflakes, and sighed: This is why official corruption is rampant.

The law does not punish the masses, so the courage becomes greater and gradually develops to the level of fish and meat villagers.

Han Feizi once said that if you can enrich the country and strengthen the army, you can only rule the country by law. If everyone turns a blind eye to corruption for the sake of being good-looking.

Without Khitan, Tufan, and the Turks invaded the border, our Great Zhou naturally fell down.

Therefore, I will never let these borers go back to the officialdom!

no way!

After saying this, Chen Yuan swayed his sleeves and stepped into the heavy snow.

It has been two days since the court was reported to it. It will take almost a few more days to calculate the time, and the imperial decree will come.

While he was still the governor, he wanted to do something for the people of Yingzhou.

Compared to the last time I came to the Li family, there were six more coffins in the yard this time. Chen Yuan once asked Yun Niang why the prisoner had been caught, so why he was not buried.

Yun Niang only said one thing, when will Zhao Wenyi's head fall to the ground and when will he be buried?

Otherwise, you will die with your eyes open.

"Brother Shen, why are you here?" Li Yunling was much more intimate with Chen Yuan when he learned that Chen Yuan had captured the enemy who killed his father.

"I am here to pay tribute to Governor Li, where is your sister?"

"She is cleaning up the house, I'll call her."

Chen Yuan smiled, placed the incense candle in his hand in a brazier, igniting talc to burn paper money for everyone in the Li family.

He murmured to himself.

"Mr. Li, the case of Yingzhou has been solved. Any official who violates the law will follow the law and impose the law on three days to follow the law and use it as a warning!"

"As for whether you can uphold justice and restore your reputation, it is not something that a little governor can control."

At this time, a thick linen cloth was draped on him, and a pleasant voice sounded beside him.

"Mr. Shen, it's true that he punishes the murderer, but if you kill so many people at once, have you never thought about a way out for yourself?"

Since getting to know Chen Yuan, Li Yunniang has seen everything the other party has done.

Therefore, I really couldn't bear to watch him on the road of no return.

Chen Yuan chuckled, looking at the heavy snow in the sky, his voice extremely firm.

"In the past, Confucius went to Lu to offer a truce, and all his disciples advised him that he could not succeed. Confucius replied: "If you know you can't do it, you are a saint."

"Although I am not a saint, I am just like Lingzun, and I want to open up a blue sky for the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Only in this way can the country prosper and last forever!"

Li Yunniang's delicate body shook, and she suddenly looked at Chen Yuan, and a huge wave burst into her heart.

She didn't expect that this peer would have such ambition in her heart, which was incredible.

At this moment, Li Yunniang seemed to see Qu Yuan who jumped into the river to sacrifice his country, and Confucius who traveled around the country to spread Confucianism.

For a moment, the beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance.

Even if Chen Yuan is staring at by a beautiful woman, he feels a little embarrassed even if he is thick-skinned.

Seeing that this matter was over, I took out three taels of silver from the official uniform.

He said embarrassedly: I may resign in a few days and return home.

This is the only three taels of silver left on you. Although it is not much, you can accept it.

If you do some small business in another place, you can also be considered a way to make a living.

Looking at Chen Yuan's red face, Li Yunniang laughed and happily accepted the money.

"Your three taels of silver is the cleanest money I have ever seen, and it is heavier than ten thousand taels of gold."

"Over-worthy, over-worthy!"

Chen Yuan laughed awkwardly and bowed his hand to leave the Li family's courtyard.

After this separation, the two probably won't meet again in the future.

It’s better not to have a few taels of silver.

Watching Chen Yuan leave, Li Yunniang turned around and knelt in front of Li Dainian's tablet and said quietly.

"Dad, if you know you can rest in peace, your daughter will definitely assist him in becoming this official in the future."

"Otherwise, this guy is too tough and will be in the officialdom sooner or later."

After saying that, Li Yunniang stood up and said: Xiaoling, pack up, let’s go to visit a big man to help you, Brother Shen to eliminate disasters and solve problems.

...

After returning from the Li family, Chen Yuan went straight into the government hall lobby and sat alone in front of the desk in a daze

This is his shortest official career, from taking office to being dismissed from office, it will take only ten days at most.

It was one day less than being the chief of Luozhou.

"It seems that this official is only suitable to be a magistrate. It is not enough to do a little older."

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Chen Yuan set his eyes outside the door.

There, Hu Er brought hundreds of yamen runners and placed boxes of stolen money in the snow.

"Sir, all three thousand officials were confiscated, with a total of 1.5 million coins of copper coins."

"Only Zhao Wenyi's family is left, and they haven't moved yet!"

Hu Er patted the snow on his head and said excitedly.

"Zhao Wenhui is not in a hurry, and we will talk about it when the imperial court's order comes down."

"By the way, Shen Yichi, have the losses of the people in Yingzhou reported in recent years?"

Chen Yuan changed his tone and asked.

"After returning to the palace, after verification by the government, the losses of the people of Yingzhou were converted into silver, a total of four million taels."

"That's how it's still a shortfall of 2.5 million taels..."

Chen Yuan touched his chin and frowned. Two million and five hundred thousand taels were not a small amount.
Chapter completed!
