The house leaks and the rain falls overnight, and the late boat encounters a head wind. This sentence for Taizhou governor Tan Lun is more than appropriate. Some time ago, the Japanese invaded Taizhou prefecture, the bandits were so aggressive that they broke several counties in the territory and surrounded the city of Taizhou. Fortunately, Zhu Pingan, the governor of Jingnan, made three great achievements in killing the Japanese, defending the city and restoring the city, which preserved the face of the Taizhou prefecture, and then he made some preparations to get through the catastrophe peacefully.
However, he never thought that he would be able to survive the disaster of the Japanese, and then the disaster of the once-in-a-century flood.
Although the flood is a natural disaster, and spread half of Jiangnan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, none of the state capitals, the court will not be accountable for the flood themselves, but if the disaster relief is not effective, it is also difficult to escape the accountability of the end.
So since the flood, Taizhou governor Tan Lun every day are conscientious, personally deployed, directing the Taizhou government disaster relief matters, from the capital to the following counties, all matters relating to the flood, everything, are personally over.
Governor so, the following officials naturally do not dare to slack off, especially the government office experience division of the Wang experience.
Three days ago Taizhou governor Tan Lun in checking the Taizhou government mountains and rivers map book, found a named “Jingnan County Zhu Pingan respectfully submitted to the Taizhou government warning flood prevention and flood control book” of the official document, because the official document is Zhu Pingan submitted, and the name of the official document is about the warning of the flood prevention and flood control, so the Taizhou governor Tan Lun will read up.
Taizhou governor Tan Lun this a flip through the content, look down the time, they can not help but be furious.
Jingnan governor Zhu Pingan in the flood before the occurrence of more than ten days ago, it has been sent to the Taizhou government to remind the flood!
Why did it not attract attention!
If the advice in Zhu Pingan’s official letter had been followed and precautions had been taken in advance, how could the flooding in Taizhou Prefecture have been so severe?
As a result, Wang Jianxue, who was in charge of the government office’s experience department, was called by Tan Lun, the governor of Taizhou, and severely criticised.
If not Tan Lun thought he was outside the city of the whole armament Japanese, did explain Wang experience their subordinates, no big deal don’t bother yourself, or Wang experience can face more than a hard criticism so simple!
After this incident, Wang experienced up memory, for the following counties to submit the official documents are extra attention, once about the flood, no matter how big or small, are the first time to submit to the governor Tan Lun review.
“Lord Wang, these are the official documents from Linhai County, Taiping County and Huangyan County.”
A clerk from the Department of Experiences entered the door and presented the received official documents to Wang Experiences with both hands.
Wang experienced took the official document and read it carefully, Linhai County reported that the grain price in the territory has been lowered and stabilised at 500 wen per stone of grain, and Huangyan County reported that the grain price in the territory has also been lowered and stabilised at 500 wen per stone.
Well, good, this is good news, the government will be very happy to hear.
After Wang Xie flipped through the official documents submitted by Linhai County and Huangyan County, he couldn’t help but have a smile on his face.
Taiping County should be the same.
Wang experienced thought while opening the official document from Taiping County, well, sure enough, it is also the news that the price of grain in the territory has been reduced to 500 wen per stone …….Huh, why is there a page attached to the back?
What? Exposing and prosecuting Zhu Pingan?
Wang experienced couldn’t calm down after reading the content and immediately took the three official documents and ran to the room of Tan Lun, the governor of Taizhou.
“Prefect, Prefect ……”Wang Experience hurriedly rushed to Tan Lun’s room, not even bothering to knock on the door.
“What’s the matter? To be so flustered, what’s the matter.”
Tan Lun, the governor of Taizhou, was discussing with Zuo Zhen the matter of transferring new soldiers into the city to help maintain order in the refugee camps, and was discussing the matter at a critical point, when he was suddenly interrupted by Wang Xuexue, and raised his head in some displeasure and said.
“Your Excellency’s lesson is correct, my humble servant has been out of order, please chastise your Excellency.”Wang experienced bowed his head and said.
“The chastisement will be waived, say, what is the reason for your haste to see me?”Taizhou governor Tan Lun took it lightly and did not pursue it further.
“Back to the Prefect, my humble servant just received the official documents presented by Linhai, Huangyan, and Taiping counties.”Wang experienced reported.
“What happened in the three counties?”Tan Lun, the governor of Taizhou, asked.
“The three counties have reported that the price of grain within their borders has been reduced and stabilised at 500 wen per stone, another …….”Wang experienced reported back.
“Reduce temperature control grain prices, this is a good thing. Why make you so?”Tan Lun, the governor of Taizhou, sniffed and said with dissatisfaction.
“Prefects, Taiping governor official documents also included a whistleblower letter, exposing and prosecuting the Jingnan governor Zhu Pingan, said Zhu Pingan in the name of the county government office to force the Jingnan territory grain prices defined as two thousand five hundred per stone! From this, he sought personal gain, and according to the local people of Jingnan, Zhu Pingan accepted bribes from grain merchants amounting to tens of thousands of silver.”
As Wang Experience spoke, he picked out the official document from Taiping County and submitted it with both hands to Tan Lun, the governor of Taizhou.
“What? There is actually this matter!”Tan Lun, the governor of Taizhou, instantly changed colour when he heard this! His face was furious!
“It can’t be, can it? Zhu Pingan, the governor of Jingnan, is not such a person, is he?!”Zuo Zhen heard from the side, also surprised with his mouth wide open, but he was sceptical about Taiping governor’s denunciation.
At first, because of the extraordinary number of Japanese pirates killed in Jingnan, he and the governor Tan Lun went to Jingnan for a private visit to check. In fact, at first he was very prejudiced against Zhu Pingan, did not believe that Jingnan would have so many captures, and even suspected that Zhu Pingan killed Liang and took credit for it, but he did not expect that this was the case. Not only that, they found in the private visit Jingnan governor Zhu Pingan in the hearts of the local people high praise, known as love people, clean, capable officials. Therefore, Zuo Zhen turned black to pink towards Zhu Pingan. He did not believe that Zhu Pingan could do such things as raising grain prices and accepting bribes from grain merchants without regard to the people’s lives.
Taizhou governor Tan Lun after the shock, also feel incredulous, but Taiping county official document has a reasoned, very detailed, does not seem to be fictitious, and fictitious evidence to frame others, the crime is not small, the amount of Taiping county would not dare. In order to be on the safe side, Taizhou governor Tan Lun will send people down to secretly investigate.
Soon, the secret investigation of the people will hold a document to come back to the order.
“From today onwards, every stone of grain within the Jingnan County is 2,500 Wen ……” black letters on white paper, bright red seal, there is no falsehood!
Taizhou governor Tan Lun and other people look at in front of the Jingnan defined grain price of the official document, have to be sure that the Taiping county whistle-blowing words are not false, Zhu Pingan really in the form of an official document will be defined as the Jingnan grain price of two thousand five hundred per stone! As for Zhu Pingan accepted grain merchants huge bribes, must also be true!
With the current flooding, the people are in dire straits, how dare Zhu Ping’an act so recklessly! Tan Lun, the governor of Taizhou, couldn’t help but turn blue with anger.
“Prefect, I request orders to go and arrest the corrupt official Zhu Pingan and bring him to justice!”Zuo Zhen gritted his teeth in anger and cupped his fists to Tan Lun and asked for orders.
At this moment, he had turned black, once again becoming a black fan of Zhu Pingan. Zhu Ping An wasted my trust in you and even defended you in front of Fu Zun, but I didn’t expect you to be such a corrupt official who doesn’t care about the people’s lives and only cares about personal gain!
“Granted!”Taizhou Governor Tan Lun nodded, but soon had a shake of his head to stop Zuo Zhen.
“Prefect! If we let Zhu Pingan go on with his mess, how can the people of Jingnan live?!”
Zuo Zhen was puzzled and hurriedly asked.
“General Zuo, Zhu Pingan is not an ordinary magistrate, he has been successful in fighting against the Japanese and has just been promoted by the Holy Spirit to the Commander of the Zhejiang Criminal Investigation Department, he is only the temporary magistrate of Jingnan. Moreover, its seat teacher is the dynasty court old Xu Jie, I heard that its high promotion of the Commander of the Zhejiang Criminal Investigation Department, is the cause of the Xu court old patronage. If only based on this piece of paper to define the price of grain official document, I am afraid that he has more excuses and sophistry, it is difficult to determine his guilt. And after some time, when the situation in Jingnan is rotten and out of control, and then to send down Zhu Pingan. By then, he will not be allowed to shirk his responsibility!”
Taizhou governor Tan Lun slowly said, he has always been calm and steady, considerations are much more thorough than Zuo Zhen.
In addition to those above, he is also worried that his hasty dismissal of Zhu Pingan, will fall into cynicism, intolerant reputation.
After Zhu Pingan was promoted to the Commander of the Zhejiang Criminal Investigation Department for meritorious service, the name of the youngest and most promising official in Jiangsu and Zhejiang fell from him, Tan Lun, to Zhu Pingan. His own thirty-two years old, from the fourth name; Zhu Ping’an is only sixteen, will already be the fifth grade, only half a level lower than his own. With the speed of Zhu Pingan’s promotion, I’m afraid no one doubts that Zhu Pingan will become his superior in a few years. Although he does not care about this reputation, but many people in the circle said that he was worried that his hasty dismissal of Zhu Pingan would be misunderstood by other officials as his cynicism, jealousy and inability to tolerate others.
He is aspiring to be a vassal of the prime minister, if he is left behind the bad reputation of cynicism and jealousy, can not tolerate others, I am afraid that the career has much impact.
And wait for some time, Jingnan situation is rotten, out of control, he then sentenced Zhu Pingan.
It will not lead to misunderstanding.
“Alas! It can only be so, only the people of Jingnan will have to suffer for some time.”Zuo Zhen sighed.
