Chapter 63 Corrupt officials? A capable official? The price of integrity (Part 1)

The choice of "integrity" and "ability" of officials is a problem that has never been able to solve perfectly in many years. Of course, everyone knows that the best choice should be "integrity" and "ability". However, this extremely small probability that can be basically negligible and special events do not need to be discussed specifically... So don't expect fat people to solve this problem smoothly.

In fact, with many capable ministers and virtuous hosts such as Tao Yuanming, Jiang Yan, Zheng Banqiao, etc., as well as "post-brow" people such as "scholars" Zhang Liang, behind-the-scenes guidance, the various disadvantages that may be brought about by the rapid development of Green Willow City, Fatty and others have actually estimated it and formulated many corresponding benign policies early on... However, as the world says, "Water is clear, there is no fish, and people are observing, there is no disciple." Some things are not necessarily the best if they are clearly distinguished from black and white. There will inevitably be a certain gray area to a greater or lesser extent, and as long as there are small actions within this "certain" limit, Fatty and Fatty are not unbearable.

——However, it is obvious that in the eyes of some people, this so-called "certain limit" scale is not so consistent with the standards in the minds of the senior management of Green Willow City...

"Together, we are corrupt and abused our power, and we are disregarding human lives... Two cases of embezzlement of public funds and committing favoritism and fraud... Okay~~ Okay~ You guys are really promising~~" He looked through the crime files sent by Song Ci with a gloomy expression, then rolled his eyes and glared at the few low-level officials kneeling underground.

The fat man is in a bad mood at this moment. It's very bad~~ I just enjoyed my simple happiness, full of longing for a good reward, and returned to the game excitedly, but immediately saw such an "interesting" scene. I believe no one will be in a good mood.

"Cough cough~~" With a light cough, Xiao Rang, the prefect of Green Willow City sitting beside him, spoke: "That...that...the city lord. The embezzlement of public funds and personal fraud are not two incidents, but only one!"

When the fat man heard this, his expression seemed even more gloomy and said with an unexpected look: "Mr. Xiao, although this Cheng Xuan did not embezzle public funds, he only determines his life and death based on his own preferences. Isn't it considered favoritism and fraud?"

When Xiao Rang heard this, he felt a little silence. Instead, Song Cigong bowed and smiled, "City Lord, if you say this, have you also committed favoritism and fraud?"

The fat man immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this and said in a low voice: "Okay, Song Huifu, you are just squeezing me here again!" Hearing this, Song Ci just bowed to the fat man again, but did not speak again. At this time, except for one of the low-level officials kneeling below, the other people were already in a state of dust and trembling.

He ignored Xiao Rang and Song Ci, and the fat man focused his attention again on these low-level officials and gently shook the file in his hand. He said angrily: "One received more than 175,000 taels of bribes, and the other embezzled nearly one million taels of public funds. OK~ Wang Sheng, Xiao Dian, you two are really brave to kill. Do you think that my Green Willow City is a good hall and will not kill people!" At the end, the fat man couldn't help but slapped the table heavily, his eyes were already showing his murderous intention. This immediately scared the two low-level officials who were kneeling down and immediately crawled on the ground and complained about the wronged!

When Wang Dafu heard these two people shouting for justice, he was puzzled. These two guys were full of evidence and he confessed. Do you think they have any more places to shout for justice? Is there anything strange about this?

At that moment, he clicked the table and asked in confusion: "Wang Sheng, Xiao Dian, are you two still calling for justice here? Well, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Song are both here, so I will give you a chance to speak up. See what wrong you are! "

Wang Sheng and Xiao Dian heard this. He immediately burst into tears and lie there and kowtowed repeatedly. Then Wang Sheng, who had bribed more than 70,000 taels of silver, said first: "The city lord is clear, the city lord is clear, although Wang Sheng has accepted bribes, the word "corrupt" is indisputable, but I have never done anything for others after I received the money. Where does the word "illegal law" start? Not to mention "disregard human life". Wang Sheng has been in office for two years and has received a lot of bribes, but no one under his rule has been frozen or hungry, and there is no wrong judgment. Where can I say "disregard human life"?"

Hearing Wang Sheng's narration, the fat man became curious...

Wang Sheng was originally the assistant of Xiang Ge, the village chief of Fangtu Village, the important handicraft town of Green Willow City. When Green Willow City developed rapidly, Fangtu Village also rose and rose to Fangtu Town. Xiang Ge is worthy of being a famous scholar in the Three Kingdoms. His administrative capabilities are quite outstanding. Not long after Fangtu Village was upgraded, the first affiliated village of the town was established, Tuming Village, and Wang Sheng was appointed as the village chief of Tuming Village.

Wang Sheng said, "No one of the people under the rule was frozen and hungry, and there was no wrong judgment in a wrong way." To be honest, it sounds like a fat man is all nonsense - the people of Green Willow City are all well-off families, and because of the special economic model of Green Willow City (farming in the main city, all other industries are handed over to the affiliated territories), Fangtu Town is a well-known wealthy town, and the people in the town are all rich, so Wang Sheng has the opportunity to accept bribes of more than 170,000 taels of silver. It is really difficult to find a house where people are frozen and hungry.

As for the "unfair and false cases", if such a thing dares to happen, can this guy's head still stay on his neck? A fat man with a deep "angry youth spirit" will not care about chopping off his head and playing with it!

——What really makes the fat man interested is what Wang Sheng said, "Just take money and don't do anything." This corrupt official has seen more, and he has seen more shameless people, but he has never seen such shameless people before!

He lit up the table with interest, and the fat man asked thoughtfully: "Wang Sheng, how can you just take the money and not do anything? More than 170,000 taels are not a small amount. I think it is impossible to accept it at once. If you really never do things for the bribers, how can they give you so many benefits again and again?"

Fame, corrupt officials actually have reputations. If this corrupt official really only takes advantage of it and does not do anything, and loses his reputation, naturally no one will come to ask for help in the future. However, seeing that Wang Sheng's words are correct, it doesn't seem like he is lying, so the fat man became curious.

Hearing the fat man's question, Wang Sheng kowtowed again, then said with a smirk: "City lord, actually... it's not the officials who only check in cash and don't do anything, but the fat people who come to the door... Well~~ Friends, what they ask for is mostly small things like being able to settle in the city or doing business. These things are actually not prohibited in the city, but the inspection is a little stricter. However, the officials see that most of them meet the regulations, have huge property, have a skill, and have innocent wealth, but they are often denied their settlement in details such as background and reputation, so they make decisions without authorization and accept them one by one..."

Speaking of this, Wang Sheng was suddenly shocked, as if he had thought of something, and quickly lowered his head and explained: "That... the city lord, in fact, all the people taken in by the subordinates have never done anything that is unfavorable to the city. Instead, they have made considerable contributions to the city. Please give it a clarity!"

When Wang Sheng said this, Wang Dafu's face immediately turned half dark, but a mere village, which was still an affiliated territory, could actually accept more than 100,000 taels of silver by allowing people to settle down. This is simply...

He turned his head expressionlessly and looked at another little official who was shouting for injustice. The fat man said coldly with a cold face: "Xiao Dian, where is you? Wang Sheng said that he accepted bribes but did not do anything. Then why are you wronged? Could it be that you didn't get the nearly one million taels of silver?"

When Xiao Dian heard this, he immediately kowtowed repeatedly and said, "The city lord clearly understands that the officials of the lower government have misappropriated the nearly one million taels of silver, but the officials have not taken it!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dafu narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Xiao Rang thoughtfully...

Xiao Dian is the county magistrate of Dongjiatun, the mining base of Green Liucheng. He is very capable and very popular with Dongjiatun village chief Dongbo. After Dongjiatun was upgraded to a county magistrate, he was directly appointed as the county magistrate by him. He is also a role among a group of low-level officials.

Xiao Dian's words are not as difficult as Wang Sheng's words. "It was embezzled by himself, but it was not taken by himself." In other words, the money did not fall into Xiao Dian's own pocket, so what did he do with the money?

Gently clicking on the table, the fat man Senshen spit out a word: "Say~~"
