Chapter 524 525【The world is turned upside down】


    At night, Xiang Nan, accompanied by Xiaoyue, came to Jin Dayantai''s house.


    I saw that the carved beams and painted buildings of his Jin Mansion were magnificent and magnificent, which was indeed impressive.


    “Mr. Ji, I have long admired your name.” Jin Dayandou smiled while holding the pipe pot.


    "Hello, Uncle Jin!" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I heard from Xiaoyue that you have a big pipe, and Ji wanted to come and pay his respects."


    Upon hearing this, Jin Da Yandian laughed and said, "I was just about to compare myself with you."


    As he said that, the two of them raised their pipes and pots together.


    There were two large tobacco pouches that looked alike, both extremely huge.


    “Hahahaha~” Jin Dayandai and Xiang Nan couldn’t help laughing.


    "I have admired Mr. Ji for a long time. He is the most talented man in the world. He is famous and has a good official reputation." Jin Dayandai smiled and said, "Now we are even more like friends and we are even closer. Come on, please treat me like that." Bring the imported tobacco from Great Britain.”


    "Thank you, Uncle Jin." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Ji came to visit me this time. Actually, I have one more thing to ask for."


    “Mr. Ji, please speak.” Jin Da Yandian nodded.


    “Ji came to Ganzhou to take office this time, mainly to investigate the grain supervision case.” Xiang Nan explained, “Currently, the former governor of Ganzhou Wang Danwang and the chief envoy of Ganzhou Wang Tingzan have been detained.


    Ji will next move the officials of Ganzhou, big and small. They are numerous, intertwined, and powerful, so they hope to get help from Uncle Jin. "


    “Oh, Mr. Ji is amazing.” Jin Da Yandian said with admiration upon hearing this.


    The governor and chief envoy of a province were all pulled down by him, which was really powerful.


    "I didn''t say anything. These guys are corrupt officials. Uncle Jin, I have long wanted to deal with them." He immediately agreed happily.


    …


    "Thank you, Uncle Jin, for your support." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "By the way, Uncle Jin, He Shen and I are ministers in the same palace. Although the suppression of the bandits was frustrated and the investigation was not effective this time, we have been locked up in prison for many days. It’s a small punishment but a big warning, let’s let him go.”


    "Haha, I heard that you, Ji Xiaolan, always fight with He Shen." Jin Da Yandian laughed when he heard this, "Why are you begging for his favor now?"


    "My fight with Heshen is just for official business and has no personal grudges." Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled, "Actually, with Heshen''s talent, if he is neither greedy nor robbing, loyal to serve the country, and helps the world and the people, Ji would be willing to fight with him Be a friend."


    “Okay, this is a good official in my Qing Dynasty.” Jin Dayandai smiled, “Okay, since it is Mr. Ji who begged for mercy, then I will let He Shen go.”


    "Well, thank you Uncle Jin for the favor." Xiang Nan smiled and said to Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, go ahead and earn this favor."


    ?Du Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, then took the golden tobacco bag as a token and went to the prison to release He Shen. By the way, he also gave him one million taels of silver and made a huge fortune.


    Xiang Nan had a secret conversation with Jin Dayandai and formulated a detailed plan to investigate the grain supervision case.


    …


    Turning around, Xiang Nan went to see He Shen first.


    "Ji Xiaolan, your hands are really fast. In just a few days, you have actually captured Wang Danwang and Wang Tingzan." He Shen said in surprise.


    ??He really didn''t expect Xiang Nan to move so quickly. He had only left Hangzhou for a few days, and there had already been such a big breakthrough in the grain supervision case. It was really impressive. Xiang Nan smiled.


    He used all the trial methods used by later anti-corruption bureaus. No beating, no scolding, fatigue bombing. So many corrupt officials couldn''t bear it. Wang Tingzan had never suffered this kind of hardship since he was a child. He was also indecisive and weak-willed, so he naturally vomited quickly.


    "Master He, you are too careful not to check, why don''t you let me check." Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    To be honest, Heshen didn’t make much money from Ganzhou. However, he has always been resistant to investigating corrupt officials.


    First of all, they are both corrupt officials, and they are sad when the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, so they are somewhat in love with each other; secondly, he does not want to offend others. He Shen likes to make friends in the DPRK and respond to hundreds of calls, so he can secure his position as the chief military officer.


    But if he investigates corrupt officials, he will offend others. If the officials of the Qing Dynasty were lined up and beheaded one by one, they must be unjust. If you kill every other one, someone will definitely slip through the net.


    ??Corrupt officials hate those who investigate them most, so He Shen would rather risk being reprimanded by the emperor than investigate corrupt officials as aggressively as Xiang Nan.


    "Ji Xiaolan, what do you mean?" He Shen couldn''t help but said angrily when he saw that there was something in Xiang Nan''s words, and that he was trying to protect corrupt officials.


    "It''s not interesting, sir." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I just want to tell you that the Ganzhou grain supervision case is taken very seriously by the emperor, and he must get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, you and I will not be punished. All the great bachelors were sent.


    So I advise you to stop using your brain and do your best to serve the emperor. Otherwise, once the emperor takes the blame, he won''t just lock you in jail and lock you next to a urine bucket for three days, giving you a small punishment but a big warning. "


    "What, you mean..." He Shen was stunned and thought of the big gold pipe.


    "Of course. Do you think Jin Diandai is really teaching you a lesson about sesame and mung beans? He was ordered by the emperor to punish you for failing to suppress bandits and failing to investigate the case well." Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    He Shen suddenly felt panic.


    …


    After Xiang Nan beat Heshen hard, he immediately led people to dig out the grain supervision accounts recorded by him over the years from the old house behind Wang Tingzan''s courtyard.


    He then followed the records in the account book to verify the involvement of Ganzhou officials in the case. He was arrested and sentenced, which turned Ganzhou official circles upside down.


    ?While Xiang Nan was busy catching and interrogating corrupt officials, He Shen was also busy getting benefits from it.


    These officials in Ganzhou, from top to bottom, are almost all corrupt. After so many years of plundering people''s wealth and wealth, their property ranges from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands, all of which are just fat ducks.


    ?Now that Xiang Nan''s drastic crackdown on corruption could catch them at any time, they were naturally frightened and looked for shelter one after another.


    He Shen, who was on the same level as Xiang Nan and was also a favorite, naturally became their first choice.


    Therefore, these days, people seeking to see Heshen have been coming in an endless stream, almost like crucian carp crossing a river.


    "Mr. Ji, Heshen''s camp has almost turned into a vegetable market. There are so many people wanting to see him every day. In my opinion, they must be giving him money." Du Xiaoyue reported to Xiang Nanhui, "How about I Bring someone to arrest them all."


    "No need. There is no evidence. What are you arresting?" Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Besides, the emperor truly loves Heshen. Even if he takes bribes, the emperor is willing to forgive him. And as long as Heshen does not fall, those officials will You don''t dare to testify against him, so it''s useless for you to arrest them.


    What we can do is to conduct quick trials and judgments to prevent any corrupt officials from slipping through the net. In this way, those corrupt officials will know that He Shen is useless, so they will no longer give him free money. "


    Upon hearing this, Du Xiaoyue nodded.
