Chapter 30 Truth Storm Next

The arrival of Su Pingjiang pushed the consequences of He Ran telling the truth to the extreme. He secretly planned in his heart that in view of his image in everyone's mind, he should be cautious to tell the truth in the future.

During the conversation, He Ran handed a file to Su Pingjiang and said with a smile, "Don't come in vain. Someone just wants to see you."

Su Pingjiang opened the file and only glanced at it. He frowned and said, "An Li."

He Ran nodded and said, "Yes, he wants to impeach me in front of you."

Su Pingjiang said with a difficult look on his face, "He has been with me for many years. If the crime is not serious..., just spare him once."

He Ran picked up the tea cup, blew the floating leaves and said casually, "This is not your word. Let's take a look first. How can you decide?"

Su Pingjiang looked down carefully. The more he looked at it, the tighter he frowned. When he turned to the second page, he did not believe: "These have been verified."

"The Supervision Department and the Ministry of Criminal Justice investigated together. He inspected the five cities. These are only the crimes of Dongzhi City, and the other four cities are being evidenced." With that, he pointed to the case next to him. "There are ninety-five officials in Dongzhi City, and eighty-four of them have been convicted."

Zhu Yin was surprised and said, "How can there be so many officials in this small Dongzhi City? As usual, there should be no more than 30."

He Ran snorted and said, "Let's increase the number of official positions. Only when there are more official positions can we sell them. It is difficult for the Ministry of Officials to get rid of this matter. This is only for officials. They have also made many institutions of half officials and half of the people, all of which are places to hide dirt. Although Dongzhi City is small, it has become the source of all evil, and other places are clean. There is no oil and water to fish, and this Dongzhi City has become a place to chase the smell.

Su Xiyao frowned and asked, "Why are there so few upright officials?"

Zhu Yin sighed, "My sister doesn't know about the officialdom. The so-called upper beam is not right. If the top official in charge of one side is not right, the villain will gain power, and it will be difficult for a good official to survive. Everyone is greedy. If you are not greedy, how can others rest assured of you? If you are promoted, you may be able to do it at any time. Treat everyone, so good officials have no chance to be promoted. Even if you don't promote, everyone is still worried. You have to beware of impeachment from time to time. The best way is to squeeze you out of the officialdom, so that everyone can be completely relieved. This is the secret rule of officialdom. It is rare for Dongzhicheng to have eleven incorruptible officials. In another year or two, it is estimated that there will be no one and a half left.

He Ran took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup and said, "We now rely on the Supervision Department to rectify the officialdom. If one side of the inspection has an accident, it will be difficult to protect the integrity of several cities on this side. The disadvantages of this system are too great, so I have to push the new policy and put the officials under the supervision of the people. Countless pairs of eyes staring at it. They thought It's hard to make mistakes, so the country will be solid forever.

Su Pingjiang closed the file angrily, exhaled heavily, and said, "What do you think of him?"

He Ran didn't care and said, "It's not too much to kill his nine clans according to the law. If you want to miss the old feelings, you can let him go, but he should not be this official again, otherwise it will be too difficult to calm everyone."

"You really agree to let him go." Su Pingjiang stared at him and asked,

He Ran smiled and said, "Although the prince committed the same crime as the common people, it is just for the people. You are the king. An Li has committed the crime of treason. If you want to pardon him, there is nothing else to say. We can't make it difficult for you."

"Then... then how do you explain it to the investigators?" Su Pingjiang asked,

He Ran smiled and said, "I don't embarrass you, and you can't embarrass me. You should give everyone an explanation. I don't care about this."

Su Xiyao said, "That's what he said. He sent someone to investigate the case. In the end, there was a lot of solid evidence, but there was no crime. How do you ask him to tell the people below?"

Su Pingjiang frowned and stared at the case. After a while, he sighed and said, "I can't live by myself. I don't do much to govern the country. You work hard for the country. How can I cause you any more trouble? Deal with it according to the law."

He Ran thought for a moment and said, "Then kill the three clans. This bastard doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. If I had pleaded guilty earlier, I wouldn't want to implicate his family."

Su Pingjiang nodded and said nothing,

He Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, it's not too late to change the judgment now. Why don't I arrange to play a play of the rest of the party's robbery to save people, so that you don't have to explain anything to the ministers."

Su Pingjiang smiled and said, "Don't think nonsense. I said I shouldn't cause you trouble. I can't explain this to the ministers. It's true that I feel uncomfortable. After all, he has been with me for many years. In the past, he blocked the sword for me on the battlefield, but... Alas, I wish I had kept him by my side all the time. I Knowing your difficulties, Kong Zong is also your good brother. You killed him all for the righteous law. As a king, I can't mess with the law. Kill him. I'll see him later.

The small Dongzhicheng was lively because of the arrival of the king and many dignitaries in the court. The jurisdiction of Xizhicheng, which had just taken over the city defense, was so scared that he could not even sleep.

Zhu Yin left and went back the next day. He Ran was injured. She had to take care of the new policy, and she could not be delayed for another day.

In the afternoon, He Ran was laughing with Yunshang and Mingqin Tea. Xiaozhu came in and said, "Madam brought the queen."

When he heard that Nanxu was coming, He Ran frowned slightly, and Yunshang and Mingqin hurriedly retreated,

When Nanqi came in, He Ran pretended to stay and give a gift, but as soon as he moved, he grinned in pain,

Nan Yu hurriedly said, "Don't move, military division."

He Ran apologized and said, "I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Nan Yu pouted and smiled, "You see that the king is selual. Don't put on airs in front of me."

He Ran saw that her words were relaxed, so he smiled and said, "The king's grace is the king's kindness to the minister. I dare not abandon the courtesy of the king and minister in front of the queen."

Nan Yu curled his lips and asked with a smile, "The wound is still painful."

He Ran replied solemnly, "If you are involved, it will hurt a lot. It's better if you don't move."

Nanqi said softly, "Then take good care of it. Don't take risks easily in the future. It's not a joke."

"Thank you for your attention. I remember it." He Ran said respectfully,

Nan Yu took a look at him, turned to Su Xiyao and said, "Sister, the military division is talking and laughing with everyone, but he is very polite in front of me. I think it's still difficult to let go of the past."

Su Xiyao smiled and said, "You are too careful."

Nan Yu's bright eyes turned to He Ran's face, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Am I overdoes it, military master?"

He Ran's heart trembled when she looked at her. Her joking eyes seemed to contain resentment and a few touching things. "The queen is over-hearted. I am happy and smiling, but the queen's status is respected. How dare I say nonsense."

The resentment in Nanyu's eyes suddenly flourished, but it flashed away. He said, "The king went to see An Li in the morning and looked gloomy after coming back. I think it's better to let him leave here as soon as possible, so I came to ask the military master for an idea. Is it better for him to really go to Xiangguo or to play casually as before?"

He Ran smiled and said, "Wherever you go, just follow the queen's will. It doesn't matter where you want to go, even if you want to go to the prairie."

Nanqi said with joy, "It's really okay. I really want to see the grassland scenery."

"This is not difficult. If the queen really wants to go, I will send someone to inform the general over there and let him arrange it properly. As long as he doesn't go deep into the grassland, it should be safe. This season is the most beautiful time for the grassland."

"All right, then there will be a labor engineer." Nan Yu said happily, but then he showed uneasiness and said, "Will this... cause trouble to the general?"

He Ran said respectfully, "It's a blessing for the queen to be so considerate of her subordinates. This will not work hard for the people. The people on his side can take advantage of it to practice, which is not bad."

"That's good." Nan Xun said with a pair of bright eyes and suddenly showed all kinds of tenderness. "The military master should take good care of him, and I won't disturb him." The words fell to the ground, and the tenderness in his eyes also converge. He turned to Su Xiyao and said, "Sister, I'm leaving."

After sending Nan Yu away, He Ran asked Su Xiyao thoughtfully, "I see that you look much better than before. Why?"

Su Xiyao said, "Before she came here, she had a good conversation with me. Her words were very humble and kind. I can't always have a stiff face."

"She has a lot of tricks. You have to be careful."

Su Xiyao smiled and said, "I'm not a three-year-old child. I'm dizzy when I say a few good words. Just don't be confused. Although I couldn't see her expression behind her just now, I noticed that there was something wrong with your eyes."

He Ran smiled and said, "Your eyes are really powerful. She just... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Maybe I feel wrong. It's better not to guess this kind of thing."

Su Xiyao sat beside him, took his hand, looked at him quietly and said, "You have to promise me. Anyway, you must let Nan Xing'an be the queen."

He Ran said aggrievedly, "What are you thinking about? Do you still suspect that I have something wrong with her?"

Su Xiyao said angrily, "Why do you feel guilty? I didn't think about these messy things. I'm worried that Nanxu will have another disaster. At that time, if you kill her without patience, Pingjiang will definitely not stand it. My brother's life is hard enough. I want you to find a way to control Nanxu and let her know the difficulties and retreat again. It's a thing."

He Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it. OK, I'll just pay more attention to it."

Su Xiyao looked at him strangely and said, "You really have a ghost in your heart, otherwise how could you think of there at once?"

He Ran said aggrievedly, "Don't bring such dirty water. You just said before that my eyes were wrong, and then I said those words. I just thought about it."

Su Xiyao said, "You know whether there is a ghost in your heart, but her eyes are really like talking. When I was looked at by her, I was shaken. I felt a sense of pity when I saw it, and my dislike for her was unconsciously eliminated."

He Ran said with a bad smile, "When it comes to eyes, there is no pair of eyes in the world that can speak better than yours. Look, now they have told me and want me to kiss them."

Su Xiyao couldn't help smiling and spat, "You be honest with me. I'm not serious at all."
