Chapter 520: Don't be afraid of being a small official, you need to be brave

The officialdom in Huaibei Province is more or less connected with Yu Hui. Even if he has no contact on weekdays, colleagues or Confucian officials will feel a sense of mutual appreciation. Liu Yu doesn't like to talk nonsense to Li Ying, and in his heart, Liu Yu has long classified Li Ying as a Yu Hui person.

Liu Yu estimated that Xiazhou was not far from Dongning Prefecture, and officials in Xiazhou could basically arrive at Dongning Prefecture before dark. Liu Yu felt very tired after thinking about it. The best way was to cut the mess quickly. Liu Yu was also prepared to ask for mercy for the Confucian official to investigate whom!

This time, the emperor went on a tour, and there were very few civil officials around the imperial carriage. In addition, the imperial court had had a rebellion by Su Dian before. After Liu Yu cleaned up the officialdom of Chang'an City, many departments did not add to the shortage of officials, which caused the number of civil officials in the Dashun Dynasty to fall to the lowest point in history. This time, the officials around Liu Yu were basically not officials from the real power departments. Most of them were officials in the Ministry of Revenue and those who communicated with local administration, and there were no officials who were good at prisons.

Liu Yu thought about it and found that the only one who is suitable to be the chief judge of Niu Lu and Ling Hui colluded to conspire against rebellion is the most suitable one.

Liao Mingsheng had no friendship with the two, and even said that they had hatred. Not only Liu Yu knew this, but Liao Mingsheng himself was also very clear. Under such a background, if Liu Yu sent him to investigate the case, he would make things bigger and bigger. The more a vine he was involved, the more people were investigated. This is Liu Yu's purpose. Because only in this way can Su Zhe's power in the officialdom of Huaibei Province be dismantled. If others are sent to be responsible, they will either have mercy on the Confucian officials, or they will be cautious about the officials and refuse to expand the scope of the matter.

Thinking about this clearly, Liu Yu immediately asked Lian Husheng to spread Liao Ming to the palace.

When Lian Husheng came back, Liao Mingsheng followed carefully. Liu Yu saw Lian Husheng's attitude and realized that he lacked favorable feelings for Liao Mingsheng, who was like a villain, and he had scolded Liao Mingsheng before. Unconsciously, the two had formed a bond, which also brought great trouble to Lian Hu's birthday.

"Bizhi has sent everyone back, but Qiansui has other instructions?" Liao Mingsheng asked Liu Yu carefully.

"Mingsheng is here." Liu Yu pointed to the chair on the side very politely. Liao Mingsheng looked at the chair but his body did not move. "You and I don't have to be polite. From now on, I will call you your name. You can just call me the prince. This thousand-year-old thousand-year-old one doesn't sound very pleasant."

Liao Mingsheng was very sensible and immediately nodded and smiled and bowed to praise him: "Prince."

"That's what it is, sit down."

Liao Mingsheng no longer dodged and sat directly on the chair. However, he still looked very reserved.

"Mingsheng is good at prison affairs?" Liu Yu asked suddenly.

Liao Mingsheng considered Liu Yu's purpose and said, "Go back to the prince, I am the chief of the local area, and I naturally dare not slackew in the matters of prisons under my jurisdiction. Does the prince have a difficult case to investigate?"

"It's the rebellion case that happened yesterday."

Liao Mingsheng's body was shocked, and the teacup that he had barely held up was almost unstable. It's not that he was not brave enough. It was just that the case involved a major issue, and he was not very clear about the motive for Liu Yu to pursue the case. He was just a seventh-rank sesame mung bean official. He thought Liu Yu would ask him to help with some food, drink and fun, but he didn't expect that Liu Yu would have a "big test" for him as soon as he came.

"It is difficult to take on this important task if you are humble. The prince will send someone more talented to do this." Liao Ming rose up, bowed and said in a refusal tone.

Liu Yu knew that Liao Mingsheng certainly didn't want to refuse, and even wanted to try to prove himself.

"Mingsheng said that I am not unconsidered, but I am not a civil servant around me who cannot be entrusted to you. Do you don't want to share my worries with me?"

Liao Mingsheng said: "But..."

"I know what you are worried about Mingsheng. You were born to donate officials and didn't have any good opportunities. You are now just a seventh-rank minor official. The officials involved in this case are often second- and third-rank officials, or even first-rank officials in the court. If you ask you to investigate, the people below will definitely be dissatisfied. But the matter of prison is to follow the law. The law is greater than the mountain, and military orders are like mountains. This website gives you the authority to investigate this case. I decided to let you thoroughly investigate. No matter who you find is involved in this case, even if he is a former king, prince, general, and minister, just follow the law and close the case."

Liao Mingsheng was a little excited. What Liu Yu said was really indescribable for a person who was eager to rise to power and ambitious. What Liu Yu mentioned was a great power. Even the kings, princes, generals and ministers asked him to investigate casually. Even the first-rank officials in the court, including the Minister of Justice, the Censor of the Censorate of the Ministry of Justice, did not have such power. Liu Yu gave him such power to see that he had no power in the court and could not take into account the consequences. Although the result of the work might offend a large number of people, as long as it was in line with the wishes of Liu Yu, the regent, he would step into the dragon gate with half his foot.

Liao Mingsheng knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "I am willing to share my worries for the prince, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Just do the job well. As for going through fire and water, you can't do anything. If you are in danger, be careful to avoid it. If you check other people's background, others will naturally treat you as an enemy who kills your father. I don't want to harm you because of this."

Liao Mingsheng looked up and smiled, "The prince said very well."

"Mingsheng, get up first. I will ask the people below to hand over all the testimonies and testimony of the case to you." Liu Yu seemed to finish the matter with great joy, and suddenly put his head closer to Liao Mingsheng, pointed at Liao Mingsheng with a cold face, and said in an order and coercion, "Remember, what I want is a definite evidence, not a slander!"

After Liao Mingsheng's sudden surprise and excitement, his attitude became more careful and he replied respectfully: "I know how to do it."

"I will leave Dongning Mansion tomorrow, and I will leave you with people at that time. I will cooperate with you to investigate this matter. I will give you the imperial edict appointed as the imperial envoy to investigate the case later. You have the power to take action first and then report, but don't use it easily. As for the officialdom of Huaibei Province or the high-ranking officials in the capital, you don't need to pay attention to it. Remember, as long as you are responsible to me, you will be responsible to the Dashun Dynasty. After the matter is completed, I will never treat you badly."

Liu Yu said this, and Liao Mingsheng suddenly felt his blood boiling. He didn't expect that a mere white jade bowl would be exchanged for Liu Yu's trust. He quickly bowed and thanked him again. Liu Yu didn't say much more, but just reminded him in two words before sending the imperial carriage out of the city: "King of Chu."

Liu Yu didn't say these two words until the end. Of course, Liao Mingsheng understood that it was of great importance. Liu Yuhua had such a big thought, and even took the risk of unstable situation in Huaibei Province to investigate the case, which was for the King of Chu. The matter of the King of Chu is also circulating among the people. Many people say that Liu Yu usurped the throne of Chu and became independent. As for whether it was true or not, Liao Mingsheng could not verify it. However, Liu Yu's words also mean that the King of Chu was secretly facing Liu Yu's enemy. As long as he could help Liu Yu remove this confidant, he would be the biggest contributor to Liu Yu in his dynasty.

…………

Liu Yu first sent his female family out of the city and settled at the inn twenty miles south of the city. The main reason was that Liu Yu was considering too many things in the city and he had no time to take care of both sides. It would be better to let the imperial carriage leave this place of failure first, and he will go south to complete the last battle in his mission tomorrow.

Shortly after sending the imperial carriage out of the city, Liu Ding, who was responsible for taking people in Xiazhou, fell back to report the matter, and escorted Yu Hui and others involved in the case back from Xiazhou.

Liu Ding dismounted and first reported the situation of taking over the person, then said with concern: "My father seems very dissatisfied with your arrangements from Twelfth brother."

Liu Yu curled his lips and didn't care much about Liu Zhao, who was "opening the way" for the emperor's carriage a hundred miles away. Before the incident, Liu Yu transferred Liu Zhao to "opening the way" in advance in order to numb Niu Lu. Liu Yu himself was also afraid that his stubborn father would hinder his plan. It was not until Liu Zhaoxing walked nearly 200 miles that he realized that Liu Yu sent him out was just a cover. The anger in Liu Zhao's heart was conceivable. Although Liu Yu is now the regent, he couldn't swallow the tone he was used by his son.

"I will go back and say, Brother Qi, you escort the prisoner into the city first." Liu Yu said, "In the future, Brother Qi, you want to stay in Dongning Mansion, and you may also have to run between Dongning Mansion and Xiazhou City to fully assist one person in investigating the case."

Liu Ding said in surprise: "I don't have to go south with the imperial carriage?"

Liu Yu said: "The investigation of the case is also very important. Brother Qi, don't slack off. Huaibei Province is full of dangers, maybe there will be a group of people around you to take your life."

Liu Ding swallowed his mouth. He was a martial artist and could not fully understand Liu Yu's meaning. However, Liu Yu's cautious appearance made him feel that he was in charge of his responsibilities. Liu Yu didn't ask others to ask him for help, just because he was a "family member". Liu Ding also knew that he had no ability except for his relationship with Liu Yu and Liu Zhao and could not afford to be of great use.

After seeing off the emperor's carriage, Liu Yu returned to the city and it was already sunset, and the inside and outside the palace were bright. Dongning Mansion seemed to have turned from the second largest city in Huaibei Province to a huge prison. In Dongning Mansion, there were hundreds of "campires" involved in the case. These days, people have to conspire and exterminate their families in the case. This means that perhaps thousands of extra ghosts will appear on the next day in Dongning Mansion.

Liu Yu was not in a hurry to leave Dongning Mansion, but wanted to give a basic explanation of the case before heading south, so that Liao Mingsheng and other people who collaborated in the investigation of the case knew the priorities of some details in the investigation.
