Li Xiao finally encountered his biggest political crisis since arriving in the Ming Dynasty. The day after he announced that officials needed to declare their property, resignations were delivered to the cabinet like a snowflake, and nearly 80% of the officials in the capital gave up their jobs.

Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money! If not for these privileges and benefits, who the hell is addicted to becoming an official? Is it true that after ten years of hard work and hard study, just want to serve the people? Those who become an official for ideals are very

There is no one among them.

When these officials who studied hard for ten years and finally made the leap into the officialdom entered the officialdom from the first day, they had a firm belief that they would be promoted and make a fortune! If their wife happened to die, then life would be too much.

Perfect.

Get promoted! Get rich! Kill your wife!

Three great joys in life!

Since Li Xiao became the actual controller of the Ming Dynasty, many of the privileges of officials have been deprived of. The decree that the officials and gentry should pay for their food and serve as errands has offended officials all over the world.

Now, even the last bit of oil and water must be squeezed out. I won’t do it! I won’t do it even to the death!

"Originally, these things can be done slowly. You are doing it with such fierceness, look, this...! No one is working in each department, and the court has been paralyzed." Zhang Huangyan looked at the resignation letter on a large table and was worried, Xiao He

There are three thousand laws and regulations, and in the end, officials must enforce them.

Now that there are no officials, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Even if Zhang Huangyan is a man of three heads and six arms, it is impossible to do all the government affairs. At this time, Sun Chengzong accidentally caught a cold and heard that he needed to rest. Even Zhang Huangyan went to visit him.

No one was seen.

Sun Zhijie said it politely. My ancestor had a cold, and he was afraid that Mr. Zhang would get sick. I will keep the visit in mind, and will definitely visit him to express his gratitude when he recovers.

Li Xiao took a look at the resignation papers piled high. There seemed to be no other memorials from the court today. They were all resignation papers. After a casual check, he found two senior officials of the sixth rank of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"The Ming Dynasty is not the Palace of Hell. Since you don't want to work anymore, it's okay to leave. But... you also need to explain the accounts clearly before resigning. After all, there is a resignation audit process to go through. Let Lvzhu conduct the resignation audit one by one. It's really a breeze.

Yes, the court is responsible for paying travel expenses, and also provides pension money every year after returning home.

Those who really have unclean hands and feet...! Hehe! Then don't blame Ming Dynasty for its ruthless laws!

Let’s start the audit with these two people!” He threw the resignation letter to Xiao Zhan casually, and Xiao Zhan caught it. He felt sorry for these two guys sincerely. They are the birds in the lead now. Or they are the two who are trying to scare the monkeys.

chicken!

Zhang Huangyan glanced at Li Xiao and stopped talking.

Cruel! So damn cruel! Want to leave? First check if your butt is clean, as long as your butt is not clean.

Hehe! Just wait until you sit through the bottom of the prison!

The "Da Ming Code" was formulated during the Hongwu period. Although it has been revised many times over the years, the punishment for corrupt officials is still very severe. There is no way, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang just hated corrupt officials. Although the penalty of skinning and pulling grass has been eliminated, the lightest punishment is still

Exiled to Lingnan.

According to Li Xiao's character as the King of Hell, Lingnan is definitely not the ultimate destination of these corrupt officials. You must know that when these laws were formulated, the scope of Ming Dynasty's control only existed in Lingnan.

The southernmost territory of the Ming Dynasty is now a place called Australia. As for what Australia means, no one is sure. Anyway, the British called it that, and everyone followed suit.

There is a shortage of manpower there. These industrious officials might be able to get in better shape if they go to Australia to exercise.

As for the concept of resignation audit, it has been around since the time of Emperor Zhu Di. However, no one has seriously implemented it for more than two hundred years. Before Zhengde, it was still a formality. After Zhengde, it was not even bothering to go through the formality. It was simply on paper.

Because of the existence of the government, everyone selectively forgot this rule. Even emperors such as Tianqi and Chongzhen did not know that there was an audit when resigning.

Li Xiao was talking about the regulations that had existed for more than two hundred years in a literal way, and no one could say that he was wrong. As for whether he could find out the matter, Zhang Huangyan was sure that he could. If his butt was clean, who the hell would resign for the purpose of declaring his property?

Don't do it.

"Go on an errand! Do things by unspoken rules, punish people by explicit rules. This kid has learned a lesson. Kill two chickens and see if the monkeys are still making a fuss." Looking at Li Xiao walking out of the study, Zhang Huangyan looked at him in a daze.

Xiao Zhan ordered.

"No!" Xiao Zhan hurriedly took two letters of resignation and went out to find Luzhu.

In terms of being shrewd and capable, Lu Zhu, who is just thirty years old this year, is definitely an expert. After receiving Li Xiao's order, he led his troops to seal off the two people's homes without saying a word. Then he searched them and faced the confiscated people.

Gold, silver, jewelry, and the junior official of the Supervision Department smiled and asked: "May I ask, sir, how much is the annual salary of the chief? How many years of salary will these things, plus the real estate in the capital, be enough for you?"

According to later generations, this is called a serious discrepancy between income and expenditure. This needs to be investigated. The source of the huge wealth is unknown. What is going on? If it is not clear, then it is very likely that he went to Australia to knock stones.

The two stewards can be regarded as the best among men, and the rhetoric they come up with is more shocking than the other.

"I'm a very lucky person, and I always win when I gamble! I won all this money from the casino."

"Oh! Very good, then please tell me which casino you won it at? On what day of the month did you win it?"

"Can't remember!"

"After winning for so many years, you actually forgot? Do you know President Wang of Jinzhou Bank? Let's talk about what happened between you. Just tell me how many gold bars President Wang gave you in the Donglaishun box. Don't try to deny it. Take a look.

Who is that? That person is the guy from Dong Laishun's box." Outside the glass window, stood a handsome-looking young man.

Another boss was still eating noodles when he was arrested. There were more than 100 silver coins in his passbook, and he had a total of two silver coins in cash and more than 50 copper coins.

It stands to reason that this person's net worth should be quite clean. In today's capital, there are not many people who can be so pure and clean.

Luzhu personally took him to the edge of a villa. The sound of horse hooves tapping on the gravel road could not be heard. Finally, he walked along the peaceful path to the end and found a house with carved beams and painted beams.

There is a rockery on one side of the house, and several children are jumping around on it. On the other side is an artificial lake, with waves on the lake and occasional carps jumping out of the water, making it look quiet and peaceful.

"I don't know!" The steward's head shook like a rattle.

"Okay! Let's go in!" The strong soldier couldn't help but said, and escorted the steward in.

Needless to say, the room is richly decorated, but the most important thing is to open the cabinet, which is filled with silver coins. Open the drawer, and it is filled with silver coins. Open the box, and it is still filled with silver coins.

.

As a result, the number of people responsible for counting was not available, so they had to use large scales to weigh.

"That's a lot of money! You won't say that none of the money here is yours, right?"

"It's not mine!" The steward still said stubbornly.

"On the seventh day of the seventh month of the Ding Mao year, I presented the villa to the steward Wang. On the eighth day of September, I gave two thousand silver coins. On the first day of November, I gave you twenty gold bars. On the twenty-second day of December, I gave you silver coins...!

I said Manager Wang, this is the confession of Luo Wanwan, who has a close relationship with you. Would you like to take a look at the signature below? He and you are very close friends. You don’t even recognize his signature and fingerprints!"

Seeing Luo Wanwan's confession document, Manager Wang collapsed on the ground. Now it was over, he was caught. Manager Wang knew that he had been targeted for a long time, but no one touched him.

.

In recent years, relying on the power in his hands, he has made a lot of money through his hands.

Now……!
Chapter completed!
