Chapter 072 Rewarding the Good and Punishing the Evil
The fake was finished, and my whole body was a little sore. I'm old, so please collect the red tickets for comfort.
Liu Renzhong was like a ghost in the dark night, quietly blending with the night color and did not make any move. But everyone felt his pressure. That strange feeling made people feel that as long as Liu Renzhong took action, he would definitely find himself first.
The long street was silent, the moon was as bright as snow, and one person confronted everyone in this way. Suddenly, everyone's pressure was reduced. Looking up, Liu Renzhong had disappeared in the darkness.
"You were so angry just now, aren't you afraid that Liu Renzhong would come and fight immediately?" Chen Hongyin asked lightly.
Qin Fei said with a smile: "What am I afraid of? Isn't Uncle Xiaojiu next to you?"
"Although Liu Renzhong did not take action, the confrontation just now made me know that I am not his opponent now." Chen Hongyin said slowly: "If he really took action just now, I might run away."
Luo Wu nodded in agreement and pondered: "If you don't fight for the length of a day, you can keep the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood. This is what we do on the Tao."
Chen Hongyin grinned at Qin Fei: "You should be glad that Liu Renzhong did not take action just now." After that, Chen Hongyin waved his spear and several people turned around and left.
Qin Fei turned around and looked at the place where Liu Renzhong had just stood. It was pitch black, but it seemed that at some point the mysterious master would appear again like a ghost of the dark night.
Qin Fei shrank his shoulders, hurriedly followed Chen Hongyin and others, shouting, "Wait for me... Alas, why do you get more and more shouting? Let's go together safely..."
The Great Chu has been peaceful for many years, and the younger Tongzhi Admirals have not even experienced the scene of being woken up by the Governor in the middle of the night for a meeting.
That night, many officials in the Investigation Office who were sleeping in their dreams heard a clear horn coming from the direction of the Investigation Office. Suddenly, a sudden excitement turned down from the bed, regardless of whether the wife, concubine, woman or man was asleep next to him... hurriedly put on his official uniform and rushed to the Investigation Office as fast as possible.
That was the sound of the horn that was summoned urgently. If the horn sounded within a stick of incense, no official above the comrade or above was present. Kill it without any punishment!
For three hundred years, only two officials have been late, and their heads are hung at the gate of the Inspection Hall, and the stone tablet in front of the entrance must not be engraved. A bloody lesson told the officials of the Inspection Hall that this is a discipline that cannot be violated.
Although many people were summoned for the first time, when the incense stick was still two inches long, all the officials above the Tongzhi Admiral had already arrived at the Chamber of the Inspection Hall.
The admirals of each division and the admirals of the Tongzhi were 20 or 30 people in total. Some of them had buttoned the wrong buttons, and some were wearing shoes in reverse. Under the eyes of Old Man Yi, he was tidying up his clothes awkwardly.
"When the last time I called the phone, my son had just learned to make soy sauce. More than thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye." Old Man Yi picked up the hot tea on the table and said lightly: "Fortunately, there are no late ones. I heard that when people get old, their hearts will be soft. However, you have not used your head to test my heart."
The untidy officials tidied up their clothes with blushing faces, then raised their heads and chests, waiting for the governor's instructions.
What made them feel a little strange was that at this level, the meeting must be attended by the Tongzhi Admiral or above, but there was a man and a woman in the meeting hall. It was obvious that one was the inspector and the other was the Tongzhi Admiral. Two small officials with the size of sesame and mung beans also stood aside, six people, and were talking with the senior officials.
"Sima! You are the Admiral of the Criminal Prison, and you will report the case." Old Man Yi ordered and then took the tea and tasted it carefully.
Sima quickly walked out of the queue and said aloud to many colleagues: "Everyone, the case of the secret workshop being robbed a few days ago has already been found. What makes me ashamed is that the traitor comes from the Criminal Office, and is the general of our department, Xu Zonghao. He colluded with the vassal kings and joined outsiders to slaughter all the guards in the workshop and robbed all the crossbow components."
"Fortunately, Fan Duoer, the head of the Jinshishi Department, escaped from birth. With the cooperation of the Inspector Qin Fei, the two colleagues fought wits and courage and killed the rapist. According to investigation, the robbed components were hidden in the T-zikan warehouse of Longchang Warehouse in the north of the city."
"In order to prevent the news from leaking, Supervisor Yi Xiaowan personally selected a group of experts from the Executive Office and went to the T-font library of Longchang Warehouse in the north of the city. The teacher Sijun and the other experts from the teaching department were selected to block the nine internal and external gates. I believe that the components that were robbed will never leave Dongdu!"
After Sima said this, the officials of the Office of the Inspection Office immediately started to whisper. The admirals who had never seen Qin Fei looked at him carefully. It turned out that it was the young inspector who found Fan Duoer and killed Xu Zonghao... You know, Xu Zonghao is a low-ranking master, and it is really not easy to kill him. No wonder Governor Yi is so optimistic about Qin Fei!
Sima turned around and bowed and joined the queue. Governor Yi put down the tea bowl and said slowly: "Many people once asked me why Xu Zonghao was suspected but did not arrest him and let him act freely?"
He slowly stretched out his index finger, held it in front of him, and shook it: "The Office of the Inspection and Affairs is different from other institutions. As officials of the Office of the Inspection and Affairs, you should know how powerful we have. From second-rank officials to the people, you are under the surveillance of the Office of the Inspection and Affairs. We must preside over the intelligence war against the State of Wu, and we must also bear the domestic supervision network. There are many masters in the hall, and countless talented people. Any inspector who is waiting for the underworld is all a well-known figure."
"A such a perverted institution can survive the Great Chu for three hundred years, not be annexed by aristocratic families, and not drowned by Qingliu with saliva. We rely on unity. Just as Xu Zonghao said that Fan Duoer is a traitor, before there is no substantial evidence, before I cannot confirm which Xu Zonghao or Fan Duoer is a traitor, I will not act rashly. Torturing confessions and betrayals are traitors. These methods can be used on outsiders, but not on our own people. If I just doubt, I will kill Xu Zonghao or Fan Duoer immediately... The word unity in the Investigation Office will disappear!"
Governor Yi's eyes looked at Qin Fei if there was still nothing. Qin Fei's heart was bright. Governor Yi actually said that he would listen to this. Everyone has different status, so the scope of consideration is naturally different.
From Qin Fei's perspective, he found that Xu Zonghao was a traitor, and Xu Zonghao turned around and made a fuss. The Notice Office seemed to have no support for him, so he was naturally dissatisfied.
However, from the perspective of Governor Yi, in fact, Xu Zonghao and Fan Duoer are both suspicious. Just because so many people died and escaped a girl was already worthy of doubt! The position determines behavior. If you are the Governor of the Office of the Inspection Office, would you do this?
"In this world, paper cannot contain fire." Governor Yi continued: "For outsiders, we can kill a thousand people by mistake, but for our own people, we cannot kill one person in vain."
"As sooner or later, someone will come to take my shift. No matter who it is, remember what I said today!"
Many officials responded in unison: "You must keep the humble position in mind."
"Now... we're going to settle the score later." Governor Yi stood up and stood up, tapped his right hand lightly, and a huge force seemed to encircle Sima as if an invisible rope. Sima, who had returned to the queue, stood unsteadily, stepped out of the line and fell to the ground.
"Sima, as the Admiral of the Criminal Prison, you are not strict in the administration, which leads to the emergence of a traitor like Xu Zonghao. You cannot refuse the blame!" Governor Yi shouted coldly: "From now on, you will be demoted to the Admiral of Tongzhi, and your salary will be fined for one year. You will be allowed to temporarily take the position of admiral. Within one year, you will have outstanding contributions and can be restored to the post. If there is any mistake, you can go to the Western Regions."
Qin Fei had just entered the inspection hall and didn't know the seriousness of the punishment, but seeing that the officials' expressions changed drastically, he knew that Old Man Yi would definitely take action.
Fan Duoer explained softly: "In the Office of the Inspection and Affairs, it is not easy to be promoted. Especially from the Admiral to the Admiral, if there is no great merit, it will not be raised at all. Admiral Sima was demoted, which means that he currently has the opportunity to compete for the position of admiral like the Admiral of the Tongzhi of each department. But he already has stains and may not be raised. Moreover, even if he is promoted... the Admiral who has been demoted is not qualified to inherit the Governor..."
Qin Fei felt amazement in his heart, wouldn’t this mean that Sima’s future in the Probation Office is over?
Fan Duoer whispered quietly: "Originally, Admiral Sima, Admiral Jun and Admiral Yuan of the Executive Office are the most promising to succeed the Governor, alas!"
"The traitor appeared in the Criminal Prison Department and ordered the Criminal Affairs Office to be shamed. From now on, for three consecutive months, the people and the Criminal Affairs Office can only receive half of their salary. The salary will be deducted and together with the pension, it will be distributed to the secret spies who died for the Criminal Affairs Office!"
"The Supervision Department immediately checked the secret files of each department and province. I don't want to see such a shameful thing again."
"Xu Zonghao is dead, and the Tongzhi Governor is vacant. Within the next month, officials of the Tongzhi Governor and above in each department can apply for it and choose the best one."
After Governor Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand quickly, and all the officials from all walks of life in the Inspection Hall saluted and left the meeting hall.
Qin Fei and Fan Duoer were about to leave when they suddenly heard Governor Yi laughing and said, "Did I tell you two to leave too?"
Qin Fei stopped, turned around and asked, "What are the instructions of the Governor?"
Seeing that everyone in the conference hall had already walked away, Governor Yi said lightly: "Fan Duoer, you are the governor of Tongzhi. This time you have escaped from death and have made great contributions. You are also the chief minister of the development of crossbows. For both emotion and reason, I will promote you. However, I don't think your interest is in the Criminal Prison. In a month, when the transfer is completed, we will see how you promote you."
Fan Duoer really didn't care much about the level of her position and the salary. Her interest was on the development of weapons and potions by Jinshiji, and immediately said, "Thank you for your support from the Governor."
