"When will this frozen river hunt be held?"

Zhao Cuo raised his hand and touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Usually in December, we usually prepare two months in advance, which means we have to start the process next month."

Su Chengji said in a deep voice.

"What will happen if the treasury still has no money by then?"

Young Master Zhao has a light in his eyes.

"Then we can only mobilize manpower and material resources from the local governments, but this way it will be impossible to organize the frozen river hunting according to the previous momentum. Once the standards of this grand event are lowered, Demon Court and many small countries in the southern region will definitely look down on me.

Wait, my country, Dayu, will lose its face!"

'good!'

Zhao Cuo was excited! From this point of view, as long as he did not recover the money embezzled by the Beijing officials within a month or two, he would be able to give Dragon Vein Worm a head-on blow!

It would cost him his life to deal with the case directly and destroy the woman.

But if it is just a little less efficient, it will not be killed.

"Wu Jiu, why do you suddenly ask these questions?"

After Su Chengji finished speaking, he looked at him with strange eyes.

"To be honest..."

Zhao Cuo paused and said.

"The empress is actually planning to hand over this Beijing official corruption case to me for investigation."

"hiss!"

Su Chengji suddenly took a breath of air.

"really?"

"There should be a decree within a few days."

Young Master Zhao nodded.

"Wujiu, you are in trouble now!"

Su Chengji, who obviously knew something inside, was pacing the room like an ant on a hot pot.

"I know..."

"No!"

He frowned and interrupted Zhao Cuo's words.

"Do you know how many officials were involved?"

"Uncle please speak clearly."

Zhao Cuo was not surprised but happy.

"Fifty-six out of ten officials in Beijing!"

Su Chengji's face looked a little ugly for a moment.

"No blame, you don't understand how turbid the water in Xiang Jing is! In the past few years, three emperors have ascended to power. The empress has spent a lot of effort to reset the situation, but the consequences left at that time are not so easy to clear up. One month

It’s impossible to solve the case inside!”

'Wonderful!'

Zhao Cuo felt comfortable.

He shouldn't have to do anything deliberately to win this round.

Although the Queen Mother is overbearing, she is not completely unreasonable. If he fails to complete the task within an unreasonable time, he should not be severely punished, as long as he does not really mess up the case.

'To be on the safe side, I need to hire a few assistants who are capable but not suitable for this matter.'

Zhao Cuo pondered for a moment and then said.

"Anyway, I have decided to leave this case to me. I can only do my best to do it well and ask my uncle for help."

"It's natural."

Su Chengji nodded worriedly.

"I plan to identify several capable adults to handle the case with me before the Queen Mother's decree is issued, and I also asked my uncle to recommend them to me."

Zhao Cuo already had employment standards in mind.

"Such a heinous and important case requires the use of heavy legal instruments!"

Su Chengji said with a fierce look on his face.

"Uncle recommends to you the young minister of Dali Temple to renew his power! This master has always been known as a cruel official, and he will definitely be able to resolve the case quickly and strictly!"

"really!"

Zhao Cuo nodded in agreement.

"When dealing with corrupt officials, we should cut through the mess quickly and mercilessly! Recruiting a few famous and cruel officials will not only handle the case efficiently, but more importantly, they can deter Xiaoxiao who is ready to move, and we can attack or retreat! So I don't use them!"

"

"puff!"

Su Chengji, who had just picked up the cup of tea to moisten his throat, almost squirted.

"Why?"

He looked at Zhao Cuo a little confused. You have listed so many benefits of using cool officials, why did you choose not to use them?

"Listen to me and tell me slowly."

Zhao Cuo waved his hand to signal the young man to calm down.

"Uncle just said that fifty-six out of ten Beijing officials are involved in this case. If cruel officials who are good at using severe punishments are used, then the moat that will shed this time may not even be able to contain the blood."

"You are still kind-hearted without any blame." Su Chengji sighed, and then said, "Since you don't need to be cruel, I also recommend some capable people with shrewd methods to you."

"Please tell me, uncle, which officials in the capital have a reputation for benevolence."

Zhao Cuo said seriously.

"ha?"

Deputy Boss Su suddenly looked confused.

There is nothing wrong with this being a ruthless person.

But what's the point of asking merciless officials to investigate the case?

"Uncle, you also know how stringent the laws of Dayu in punishing corrupt officials are. They may be beheaded or even executed. The Peng Sheng case during the Taizu period even implicated more than 25,000 people!"

Zhao Cuo said this with some sincerity. Corrupt officials deserved death, but he did not want the case he investigated to implicate innocent people.

What is the concept of twenty-five thousand people?

The Hu Lan case in the Ming Dynasty was not so exaggerated!

"Uncle can also see that if this case is punished severely, countless people may die. My idea is to select capable people with deep kindness and good methods to work together to handle the case. When the truth comes out, I

If you ask for mercy again, you will only punish the guilty ones."

"good."

Su Chengji looked at him with pleased eyes.

"It's no fault that you, a young man, are not arrogant or impetuous when you are in power, and you do things without losing the law and the bottom line. It is a blessing for the people of Dayu that a person like you who cares about the world sits in a high position. If the empress's subordinates follow your example, why worry about the injustice in the world?"

'Everyone like me has changed dynasties long ago.'

Zhao Cuo was almost embarrassed by the praise. He just wanted to ruin the fate of the country. Why was he said to be an unparalleled national scholar?

"The kind and capable man you want, your uncle, just knows the perfect candidate."

"who?"

Zhao Cuo blinked and asked.

"Ji Ming, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice."

"You've already served as a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Justice, but you can still be generous and kind?"

Young Master Zhao expressed doubts.

"Don't we also have a kind-hearted officer like Wu Jiu in our execution department? And if it hadn't been for that incident two years ago, Mr. Ji would have been at least a minister now."

"Elaborate."

Su Chengji took a sip of tea and spoke in a slightly admiring tone.

"At that time, the capital city, which had experienced the ups and downs of the two emperors, was in chaos. The biggest incident was that the royal robes and seals and other royal objects were found in the house of the deceased King Beijiang. This case involved nearly 10,000 people! The Ministry of Punishment at that time

And Dali Temple has decided to close the case directly with insufficient evidence!"

"Ji Langzhong, who had just taken office, single-handedly stopped the incident and led several people to investigate the case day and night. Finally, two months later, he rescued more than 6,000 good people who should have been taken to the execution ground. At that time, there were still several

An innocent man could not prove his innocence, so Mr. Ji used his black gauze hat as a guarantee and delayed for several days to snatch him back from the hands of the executioner."

"It's a pity that this incident has offended the Minister of Punishment who was eager to close the case. As a result, Mr. Ji Ming has nothing to do and is unable to make meritorious deeds. He has not been promoted to this day."

Zhao Cuo nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

This is the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chick he wants!
