Outside the mansion, Xue Rengui and two people have been waiting outside the mansion for a long time.

What he said just now was intended to Liu Yushan, he knew that Liu Yushan would not be able to resist killing Qing'er's brother.

If Xue Rengui went to the town to find someone, it would be too troublesome, and he might startle the snake.

Following the officials who came out of the mansion, the three of Xue Rengui came to a dilapidated small house.

"You two go in, be quick with your hands and feet." The official stood at the door and said solemnly to the two of them.

"It's an adult."

The two responded, drew their daggers and walked towards the mansion.

As soon as the door was opened, three black shadows were seen galloping towards them.

"what……"

The official looked at the suddenly rushing figure and shouted loudly.

Before he finished speaking, Xue Rengui rushed to the officials.

With a whip kick, he swiped towards the official's abdomen.

boom!

The officials flew away in response.

At the same time, the other two were also brought down.

Xue Rengui did not hurt the lives of the three people. After all, there is no conclusive evidence. His mission is to save people.

After entering the house and putting down the guards, when Xue Rengui walked into the house, he saw the man lying on the ground, it was horrible.

His clothes were ragged, his body was covered in blood, and his face was so swollen that he couldn't recognize his appearance.

Limbs were all broken, dying, and the hearts of those who watched were tense.

"Quick, bring the medical team, he can't stand the bumps."

Xue Rengui said in a deep voice, took off his battle robe, and covered the man.

Soon...

The medical team came, along with Qin Feng and Wang Xuance.

They have visited villages and towns in the flood discharge area and have obtained conclusive evidence.

"How can this group of damn beasts oppress the people like this?"

"I really want to kill them with one knife." Xue Rengui gritted his teeth.

I can't wait to rush out now and kill these beasts with my hands.

Wang Xuance stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Rengui, don't be arrogant, the people behind them, I wish they would die soon."

"We're going to uproot these people this time."

Qin Feng on the side said in a deep voice: "Rengui, order to arrest people, we have already got the evidence, interrogated overnight, and brought all the people involved in the case to justice."

"Your Highness has an order. He is already waiting at Dali Temple. The Crown Prince's Hall will personally handle the case of embezzlement of ink for disaster relief."

"Okay!" Xue Rengui lowered his eyes and said, "Arrest people, uproot these corrupt officials, and give an explanation to the people affected by the disaster."

this night...

Li Shimin and all the princes sang and danced, drunk in the Manna Hall.

In order to let Empress Changsun sleep well, Li Chengqian went to Dali Temple to take command.

Qin Feng, Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance led all the officials from the household department to Dali Temple.

Chang'an City...

Dali Temple...

"Pei Jun, the humble official, see Your Highness the Crown Prince, I don't know what orders you have for calling the humble official late at night."

Pei Jun, Minister of Dali Temple, looked at Li Chengqian who was sitting upright in the middle hall, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects.

He was resting in the mansion, but when he heard that Li Chengqian summoned him in Dali Temple, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed to Dali Temple desperately.

On the way, Pei Jun was still thinking about his performance in recent months, and reflected on whether he had made any mistakes.

It was definitely not a good thing for Li Chengqian to summon him in Dali Temple. Even if it had nothing to do with him, it must be someone else who made a big mistake.

Moreover, Li Chengqian hadn't started a case for a while, and it is estimated that someone will die tonight.

Chapter 555 You Didn't Participate, And You Didn't Know What To Do

Don't be alarmed, Mr. Pei, I just wanted to borrow Dali Temple when I called you here, don't you mind? " Li Chengqian sat in front of the table and said quietly.

"His Royal Highness, what are you talking about, what are your orders, you just say it's okay, I will definitely do my best."

Pei Jun hurriedly stepped forward to express his loyalty.

Now in the Great Tang Empire, who else would dare not give Li Chengqian face.

"Originally, I didn't want to bother you, but there are too many officials involved in the incident, and the involvement is extensive. I couldn't find a suitable place to detain and interrogate you, so I came to your Dali Temple."

Li Chengqian said calmly.

Hearing this, Pei Jun lost his composure for an instant. There are too many officials involved, so this is a serious case no matter how it sounds.

As the Minister of Dali Temple, he didn't hear any news.

It would be hard to say if Li Chengqian was punished for the crime of dereliction of duty.

"Hehe..." Pei Jun smiled and said, "If you dare to ask His Royal Highness, what kind of case is this, I can help His Highness do my best."

Pei Jun stepped forward to insinuate, wanting to make an early plan.

"It's not a big case." Li Chengqian casually flipped through the files on the table, and said indifferently: "The flood in Chang'an City a few months ago, I heard that someone gave the disaster relief funds to Tanmo."

Li Chengqian said, turning his head to look at Pei Jun.

"Ah?" Pei Jun exclaimed when he heard this.

The case of embezzlement of ink for disaster relief funds is not a big case.

At this time, Pei Jun had already felt the ruthless coercion from Li Chengqian.

What Li Chengqian hated the most in his life was the corrupt officials who fished the common people.

How long has it been since the rectification of officials in the Tang Dynasty?

Now some people dare to commit crimes against the wind, isn't this the dung beetle coming out of the hole, looking for shit!

However, if this was placed in the previous dynasty, disaster relief would have been a fat job, a place to make money.

So far, I have never heard of any official in charge of disaster relief who is not greedy for disaster relief funds.

This matter is no longer a secret, everyone tacitly.

But when it comes to Li Chengqian, the rules have long since changed.

Anyone who dares to take advantage of the interests of the common people will fill his own pockets.

Then you have to be mentally prepared to be beheaded.

"Relief... the case of embezzlement of ink for disaster relief funds, His Royal Highness, this is a big deal, and we must not spare these conscience-stricken animals."

"The villages and towns after the flood, I have been there, some people have been ruined, and they are already in a state of desperation. How dare these beasts stretch their hands to their life-saving money bags."

What Pei Jun said was eloquent and convincing. In his words, he hated these people deeply.

Between the two talking.

Xue Rengui, Qin Feng, and Wang Xuance have escorted the first batch of household officials who committed crimes to Dali Temple. The number of officials arrested made Pei Jun dumbfounded.

According to past rules, the law does not blame the public.

Especially in these ink corruption cases, only a few main figures are involved, and the rest of the officials often don't get to the bottom of it.

After all, if so many officials are shut down, a department may be paralyzed.

But Li Chengqian will not let it go, he will not miss a good person, but he will never let any bad person go.

"His Royal Highness, there are a total of 55 officials from the household department and the Ministry of Industry stationed outside Chang'an City involved in the case, and all of them have been arrested and brought to justice."

Qin Feng went to Qianhui to report.

Pei Ji couldn't help feeling nervous when he saw the crowd of officials involved in the case, many of them were familiar faces.

"Put it down, train all night, I want to see everyone standing here before dark."

Li Chengqian waved his hand lightly, not even bothering to look at the people in the hall.

After all, who would compete with the dead.

"Yes, the humble post takes orders."

After the words fell, the three led the team and sent all the officials involved in the case to prison for interrogation.

"Too...His Royal Highness, do you need to discuss this matter with His Majesty first..."

Pei Jun hesitated.

He has never handled a case involving so many officials.

And looking at it, these are just small fish and shrimp.

The real big fish has not been touched yet.

Now in this city of Chang'an, all the ministers of ownership are suspected, if any important person is found, Li Shimin will have to turn the world upside down.

After all, even if some powerful ministers committed a crime, it cannot be made public, and the case that has been overturned cannot be used to convict.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, needs some face no matter what.

The crime of a powerful official is not something that can be convicted for what he has committed.

"No need." Li Chengqian didn't look up, looking at the list of officials involved in the case just submitted by Qin Feng, "From now on, I will be fully responsible for this case. Afterwards, they will give you a detailed file for filing and keeping it for you." Future generations will sound the alarm.”

"As for His Majesty, you don't have to worry about Mr. Pei, I will take care of it."

Pei Jun's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hastily responded: "It's all up to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Li Chengqian nodded without showing any emotion.

for a moment...

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, came to Dali Temple in a hurry with an anxious face.

As soon as he entered the middle hall of Dali Temple, he knelt down in front of Li Chengqian, "His Royal Highness, the old minister is guilty, the old minister is guilty!"

It was extremely pitiful and burst into tears.

Li Chengqian's face was indifferent, and he said softly: "Liu Shangshu got up and spoke, what crime are you guilty of, but it's okay to say, I will listen with all my ears."

Pei Jun hurriedly stood aside, he reckoned that none of the officials involved could be offended by him.

"Old... The old minister has no way to govern the officials, and he came out to embezzle money for the disaster relief scandal. As the Minister of the Household Department, the old minister cannot absolve himself of the blame. Your Highness, please punish the crime."

Liu Zhenghui said, crying.

Li Chengqian put down the list in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "You can participate in the corruption of disaster relief funds."

"Returning to Your Highness, even if the old minister dies, he will never do such a heartless thing."

"Then you know."

"If the old minister knew about it, how could he allow these bastards to act recklessly."

Li Chengqian frowned, "You neither participated nor knew about it, so what is your fault?"

Liu Zhenghui looked at Li Chengqian and said firmly, "Old... the old minister is the Minister of the Household Department, and any official of the Household Department violates the law, and the old minister will bear the blame."

After saying that, Li Chengqian nodded, "Liu Shangshu is right, but the matter has not been clarified yet, so you and I will wait here together."

"If it has nothing to do with you, I will not embarrass you, but if you know, you, Liu Shangshu, know what I am doing."

Liu Zhenghui was not afraid, "His Royal Highness has learned from you."

Originally, Li Shimin called Liu Zhenghui tonight in Ganlu Hall to drink and have fun.

But he was not feeling well, so he took leave with Li Shimin and returned to the mansion early.
