I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World Chapter 28

The harm of the aristocratic family is like a rebellion.

The latter is as violent as fire, but there is always a way to put it out.

The former has existed since ancient times. Everyone can see that the family is digging the foundation of the dynasty, but there are few means to control it.

Zhou Yi slowly shook his head: "You're not the first to say this, and you won't be the last. The aristocratic family is deeply evil, but it's not the reason for being a corrupt official."

"Cough, cough, it's easy to say!"

After the prisoner told the Lu family, he seemed to let it go completely.

"This official... my parents starved to death, it was the officials who greedy for the disaster relief food, and vowed to clean up the imperial court and clean up the world!"

Zhou Yi was a little more interested: "Tell me about your experience that you thought you were bitter and hated, but it was actually a cliché?"

The prisoner was quite helpless, but his death was not far away, and this was probably the last word he had spoken to before his execution.

"After ten years of cold window, he became a jinshi, and his parents and officials in any place wanted to show his ambitions. However, the officials of the yamen were all occupied by local wealthy families.

The prisoner glanced at Zhou Yi: "The most difficult thing to deal with is a lowly subordinate officer like you."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, the imperial power and the subordinate officials share the world, is it just a talk?

"After traveling through several counties, not only did he fail to make a difference, but he became the laughing stock of his classmates, and he was evaluated every year!"

The prisoner murmured, "With such wasted years, how can there be any ambition? Just let them go, read and write every day, and ignore the affairs of the yamen."

The ideals and the future wipe out the reality and become a complacent official.

Zhou Yi asked, "What does this have to do with the Lu family?"

"In the sixth or seventh year of Hongchang, when I went to Changfeng County, it coincided with the flood... The rivers overflowed, and people were fish and turtles."

The prisoner recalled: "As usual, I submitted a memorial and asked the Ministry of Household to allocate money and food for disaster relief. According to the procedure, the imperial court had to first investigate the disaster situation, and then draw up disaster relief regulations. It took a long time to go back and forth."

"The people in the major disaster are almost dead, you just need to pay less money. The minor disaster is over by itself, and there is no need to save it."

"I never thought that the imperial court quickly ordered that grain was transported from several surrounding counties, and another 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver were allocated."

"With such relief efforts, Changfeng County will be able to easily survive the floods. I can't sleep at night, and after ten years of wasted time, I can finally do something for the people to fulfill my parents' last wish!"

When the prisoner said this, he paused: "When there was a famine in those days, my parents warned me at the end of my life: I will be a good official in the future and save the people from misery!"

Zhou Yi straightened his posture, this criminal was indeed a little different from the previous ones.

As soon as a large number of corrupt officials were caught in the Tian Prison, Zhou Yi listened to them talk about his reasons for making money. It seemed like a variety of strange things, but after all, it was the desire for pleasure.

"Just as I was ecstatically preparing for disaster relief, the Lu family came."

The prisoner said angrily: "A lowly sect, scolding and scolding at the disciples of the emperor, the food and silver are what the Lu family asked for from the court, why should they be distributed to the common people?"

"However, this also made me know why the court allocated money and grain, and it has nothing to do with the memorial!"

Zhou Yi said: "In the end, the disaster relief money and grain were sent to the Lu family?"

"What can I do?"

The prisoner said: "Changfeng County is subordinate to Luyang House, and the Lu family has been in business for thousands of years. If you say nothing, you will embezzle money and grain and commit suicide on the same day!"

"Then?"

In fact, Zhou Yi can guess the follow-up development without asking.

"The money and food were sent to the Lu family, and the people of Changfeng County suffered heavy casualties, so they had to sell their sons and daughters for a living..."

The prisoner sighed and said, "At that time, I was rated as the first grade, and the censor of the inspector praised him for loving the people like his son, and he was successful in disaster relief. A year later, he was transferred to the Luyang Mansion as Ren Tongjian!"

The local prefectural government is also in the seventh grade, but one step from the county to the province is a promotion.

In a natural disaster, the Lu family made money and land, and the prisoner was promoted. Everyone is happy!

"Since then, I have become an official of the Lu family, and I have been awarded the top grade in the assessment every year. After more than ten years, I have been promoted to Luzhou shepherd and ruled the party."

The prisoner let out a laugh: "The same subjects who were ridiculed at the time have become best friends again. In order to be able to follow me, they gave me money, gave gifts to courtesans, wrote poems, and flattered me with all my might!"

"From now on, I will be greedy when I have money, and I will sell when I have an official. I have no restrictions..."

"It's impossible!"

Zhou Yi snorted coldly, this person experienced wasted, hopeless, and completely degenerated from the fear of death.

The prisoner's eyes were dim and his voice was vague: "What is the law? That is the technique of the imperial court to control the people and restrain the people! What is the sky? Your majesty is the sky, the court is the sky, and the scholars are the sky!"

Zhou Yi said, "However, you are going to die now."

"The moment I became the lackey of the Lu family, I was already dead."

The prisoner's eyes were blank: "What can I do if I kill me, no one can change the officialdom, and no one can save the court!"

Zhou Yi said in a cold voice, "One corrupt official counts as one, and if they are caught, they will be skinned and washed away."

The prisoner said, "Then they were replaced by another group of corrupt officials!"

Zhou Yi asked, "So the imperial court is rotten?"

The prisoner shook his head gently, pointed to his face and said, "It's not that the court is rotten, nor is the family rotten, it's that the scholars are rotten!"

Zhou Yi was slightly taken aback, this fellow is indeed somewhat different from the previous corrupt officials, and asked curiously, "You are the dog of the Lu family, and you are an official in Luyang, why did you end up in the Heavenly Prison?"

"The owner fattened the dog, so he wanted to kill and eat it, lest the dog turn around and call the shots."

The prisoner said: "In this way, the Lu family not only robbed the money, but also won the hearts of the people. The corrupt officials on the one side were caught by the Lu family's eldest master Qingtian, and the people applauded!"

"Looks like you're not the first dog."

"It's not the last one."

"You never thought of resisting?"

"is that useful?"

The prisoner's rhetorical question ~www.mtlnovel.com~ made Zhou Yi stunned for a long time.

An aristocratic family that has been passed down for thousands of years feels terrifying when you think about it.

Leave the cell.

Zhou Yi informed Zhu Xiaowei of the results of the interrogation.

"Lu Family!"

Xiaowei Zhu's eyes widened: "Isn't it impossible to catch up?"

Zhou Yi wondered, "Old Zhu, you have a question, why are you so concerned about this matter?"

"It's okay, it's okay! Lao Zhou, you are busy, I have something to go out for."

Colonel Zhu repeatedly denied it, and then slipped away.

Zhou Yi frowned slightly: "This fellow Lao Zhu, wouldn't he be with some big man to do things for others? Several million taels of silver are enough to support the army, and the whole Fengyang country can use only those few people!"

It's not that he is worried about Zhu Xiaowei's safety. Everyone has to bear the consequences of the path they choose.

Zhou Yi was worried that Yuchi would be affected. If Zhu Xiaowei was involved in a major case, his usual friend would inevitably be affected.

A prophecy.

The first month of the eighteenth year of Hongchang.

Before the New Year's celebrations had completely dissipated, a shocking case occurred in Fengyang, which caused turmoil in the court.

Zhao Chi, the prince of the supervising state, wants to kill the king!

Jin Yiwei captured the royal chef who tried to poison him on the spot. After an overnight interrogation, he found the dragon robe and the jade seal from the East Palace.

According to the confession of the **** of the East Palace, the prince ordered that he should be called His Majesty on weekdays, and the prince concubine was called the Empress Empress, and the other concubines and concubines should correspond to the harem.

Facing hard evidence, Zhao Chi was irrefutable and admitted that he colluded with the Duke of Zhenguo's government to try to rebel.

Hongchang was furious!

The forbidden army surrounded the government of Zhenguo, and Jinyiwei searched the whole city for related princelings.

Xiaowei Zhu is the new **** who joined the Prince's command!
