Never thought I would become the emperor

Chapter 125 Corruption
"No, no, it's just a list of suspects." Chen Gong shook his head quickly and said.

Lu Bing was relieved when he heard this. If all the people inside were corrupt officials, then there would be very few good officials in Luoyang City now.

"I also ask Commander Lu to help me select more people who have been in office for a long time and have high official positions to investigate and investigate. If they are found to be corrupt, even if they oppress the people, all their properties will be confiscated and all their properties will be confiscated. !"

Lu Bing was stunned, he looked at Chen Gong's pleading eyes in shock, he couldn't believe his ears.

What did he hear?
Once caught, the family property will be confiscated, and all property will be confiscated. This is a crime that has committed such a crime that it must be punished like this.

"General. Chief of General Staff, is this necessary?" Lu Bing said in surprise.

Chen Gong looked at his surprised gaze, waved his hands a little embarrassedly and said: "Oh, it's an extraordinary time and means, if we don't give them some toughness now, I'm afraid it will encourage their arrogance in the future, so Lu Bing Your Excellency, you are not arresting corrupt officials, you are making a huge contribution to the development of the entire Sizhou after us!"

Lu Bing "."

""

"Okay, I'll go back and check for you."

Lu Bing said helplessly.

"good."

A successful smile appeared on Chen Gong's face immediately, as if he was a cunning little fox.

"I'll go! So many."

Looking at the dense list in front of him, Lu Bing couldn't help but swear.

I saw that in the list of 700 people he took out from Chen Gong in the morning, there were 420 three people who showed signs of corruption, and all of them were people who enjoyed high officials and rich salary, held high positions, and held great power.

Careful people will naturally find that more than 420 of these 100 people are all members of Yu's family, and they are all people who are closely related to Yu Jian.

Naturally, Lu Bing had already seen this point, and at this moment his back suddenly felt cold, and he was a little scared.Not only did he recall that if he had killed Yu Xinyuan in spite of everyone's dissuasion, then the more than 100 people in Luoyang City would rise up to resist under the call of Yu Jia, what kind of turmoil and disaster it would be.

And Lu Bing is also belatedly aware now, he was also dazzled by anger at the beginning, but now that he knows the huge network behind him, he also knows why Lu Bu was so determined to stop him at that time.

For the sake of Yu Xinyuan, it is not worthwhile to make the whole Luoyang city uneasy.

When Han Cong saw the names of more than 400 people on the list, his jaw dropped in shock. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said in a deep voice, "If they are not severely punished and announced to the world, I am afraid that the entire imperial court and the entire great man will collapse."

"Ah."

Lu Bing nodded lightly, but he didn't make any response, and he didn't give an order to arrest them, which was quite different from his usual behavior.

Looking at Lu Bing who seemed to be a different person in front of him, Han Cong was stunned, and said with some uncertainty: "Commander, don't you want to arrest them?"

Lu Bing was silent for a while, and finally said with difficulty: "No."

Han Cong cried out in surprise, knocked on the table angrily, and asked loudly: "Why? They are moths in the court. If you don't get rid of them, they will parasitize endlessly. On the poor people, let the whole big man never have a peaceful day."

Faced with such a huge reaction from Han Cong, Lu Bing was obviously much calmer. His eyes that seemed to have seen through the coldness of the world lightly turned away the angry Han Cong.From his eyes, Lu Bing could see his concern for the country and the people, his heart for the world, and he could understand his determination to get rid of corrupt officials.

But, can the matter really be solved by simply arresting a few people?

It may be that Lu Bing in the past would have no hesitation, and went to arrest all the more than 400 people with a face of indignation, and executed them one by one.At that time, she didn't know anything, and he could ignore everything, but knowing the complicated relationship behind it, he had to know what to do and what not to do.After killing these more than 400 people, it will lead to the confrontation of the entire scholar family. At that time, it will not only be a corrupt official, but also the class power of the entire Sizhou.

Han Cong could see what he was thinking about, and shouted loudly: "Are we afraid and timid because of a Yu family? What does his Yu family have? We are Jinyiwei!"

Lu Bing's heart was as heavy as a stone, and he said in his low voice, "I understand what you said. The corruption of these court officials has gone to the bone. This is not just a problem of the Yu family. , but the problem of the whole Sizhou and the whole big man. Anti-corruption is a big thing, and it has to be done step by step, and we have to pay attention to timing and propriety."

"It's difficult."

Lu Bing sighed heavily, raised his head to look at the ceiling, and said with too much helplessness in his eyes, "If you don't, the country will end. If you don't, the country will also end."

Lu Bing turned his stiff head to look at Han Cong, who was shaking his head with anger. He clenched his fist tightly and clenched his teeth as if they were about to burst in the next second.

"Hard, hard, hard"

Seeing this scene, Lu Bing could only sigh helplessly.

"Are we going to just watch them live happily like this?"

Han Cong raised his head abruptly and shouted angrily.

Lu Bing had also been accumulating his own emotions, and with Han Cong's shout, he was completely released, and said loudly: "Don't you just want to see that there are only a few officials left in the entire court, Don’t you just want to see the entire Luoyang, and even the entire Sizhou, with just a few officials?”

Han Cong's eyes widened and he froze in place, what Lu Bing said echoed in his ears and mind.

Such a scene seemed to have appeared before his eyes. Only a few people were left in Weiyang Palace, which was once full of civil and military officials. All officials from various counties were arrested, and the original order and original order were lost. management.

Han Cong closed his eyes in pain, not wanting to face it, but such a picture kept appearing in his mind.

"Why? Why is this happening? Why can't I do anything?"

Han Cong choked up, it was hard to imagine that such a ruthless Jin Yiwei could cry at this moment.

Lu Bing was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand, pulled Han Cong into his arms, and patted his trembling shoulder.

"My mother told me since I was a child that we should live for the common people and for fairness and justice, but why can't I do anything today? Why?"

Hearing the heart-piercing cry, Lu Bing's eyes gradually turned red, and he murmured in a low voice.

"It will pass, it will pass"
