Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 187 Move into Nan Ya!

Watching Deng Qi leave, Ah Hui exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen such a shameless person. Ah Yun, you really have to accept him. Such a person is too dangerous."

Su Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "It's not that such a person cannot be used, but he cannot be entrusted with matters of life and death. Let's wait and see."

As expected, Deng Qi quickly sent some evidence, including a list of bribes he received, a list of money he gave to others, records of what he had done, and even a diary.

Su Yun became even more certain that Deng Qi was not a good person. Who would write a diary if they were a decent person?

Su Yun did not believe Deng Qi just like that, but gave the evidence to A Hui.

Let Ah Hui take Ah Hu and others to investigate secretly to see if these things are true and to identify good witnesses.

If we really want to kill Deng Qi in the future, we can do it at any time.

Su Yun originally thought that it would not be possible to confirm it so quickly, but he did not expect that Ah Hui would come to him to report the next day.

"Ah Yun, everything here is true. The witnesses, events, and property involved basically match up. It seems that Deng Qi is sincere in his commitment.

If he dares to have second thoughts, I will send the evidence to Kaifeng Prefecture and the Censorate, and he will be exiled thousands of miles away if he doesn’t die.”

Su Yun was a little surprised and said, "There are dozens of cases of corruption and abuse of power listed here. Have you investigated them all so quickly?"

Ah Hui said with a smile: "It's all about Kaifeng Prefecture. The brothers who are doing business with us now are all from Kaifeng Prefecture.

Ask people in the city about matters in the city, and ask people in the county about matters in the county. All of them can be implemented in specific streets and villages. They are all matters of one street and one village, so there is no difficulty in investigating them.

Even if there is no village or street where our brothers live, there must be someone we know. We can find out quickly by asking around."

Su Yun nodded and said, "No news has leaked out, right?"

Ah Hui nodded and said, "Don't worry Ah Yun, I'm being careful."

Su Yun smiled and nodded.

There is one advantage of making egg-filled pancakes. With thousands of informants, if you want to know something, you just need to ask and you will know everything.

"Go and ask Mr. Deng to come over."

Ah Hui went there quickly.

That night, Manager Deng came to Su Yun's residence.

Su Yun gave Master Deng a booklet. Master Deng was a little confused. He took it and opened it, and his face was immediately shocked.

Because he saw that all the evidence of corruption and abuse of power that he gave to Su Yun yesterday had been perfected in every case.

The characters involved in it, which I had not originally included, now all appeared in it.

The whole story was filled in one by one, and the parts that he originally wanted to conceal were also filled in one by one!

If you use this as a confession, just sign it.

What shocked him even more was that dozens of cases were exactly the same and had all been perfected!
What kind of energy is this!
Although Deng Qi doesn't care about investigating cases, he is always involved in some matters and knows how difficult it is to investigate a case.

And it only took Su Yun one night to complete the case to this extent... Such power is terrifying!

Deng Qi felt his heart trembling. He originally just wanted to take advantage of the situation and surrender to Su Yun. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid the current disaster, and on the other hand, he wanted to get close to Su Yun.

He was actually very well-informed. He had already investigated Su Yun's background. Su Yun was from the Meishan Su family. Su Shi and Su Zhe were his cousins. It was said that he had already agreed to marry the daughter of Zhang Shangzheng.

Moreover, Su Yun himself was also in the emperor's favor. The position of Tongpan, which had been vacant for a hundred years, was re-employed for him. It was obvious to the naked eye that Su Yun's path to success was already smooth.

If he could cling to Su Yun, then he might be able to break free from the shackles of his mixed background and reach a higher level.

As for the evidence he handed over, they were not particularly important and were somewhat vague. It might not be that easy to convict him.

But after Su Yun's improvement, it can be used to convict people. Even... some events that he did not record may have been dug out one by one?
Deng Qi's body was shaking slightly.

All he heard was Su Yun saying, "Master Deng..."

Deng Qi quickly said, "Sir, I'm here."

“…You were corrupt and perverted the law, but at least you didn’t rape other people’s wives and daughters, rob them, or destroy their families.

What they did was nothing more than accepting gifts from their subordinates, providing protection for their clerks, exploiting merchants, and accepting bribes when promoting their subordinates.

You have done something evil, but fortunately it is not a serious crime. If you have harmed anyone, I will not tolerate you.

Well, that's it. Go back and hurry up and pick me a better courtyard to use as the Tongpan Hall."

Deng Qi was overjoyed as the matter was finally over.

However, once Deng Qi's worries were gone, his ambition began to grow.

He thought for a while and said, "Sir, our incident has been known to the entire Southern Court.

If you let the villain go so easily, others will surely think that you are soft-hearted and can be bullied, and you may lose your prestige in the future.

Therefore, the six Caos still have to move!

I will take care of this matter as soon as I return tomorrow and vacate Caoyuan for you."

Su Yun looked at Deng Qi and said with a smile, "Why, aren't you afraid that all the clerks in the six ministries will hate you?"

Deng Qi chuckled and said, "I am afraid of you, sir. As for the people below, hey, I naturally have ways to deal with them. I have been rooted in the Six Caos for twenty or thirty years, and it is not for nothing. You can rest assured."

But Su Yun shook his head. He didn't care about prestige. What prestige did a salted fish need?

By forcing the six Caos to move, his prestige was naturally established, but it was also inevitable that he would become aggressive.

The so-called prestige means both integrity and authority. If you are authoritative, others will naturally be wary of you.

If you want to do something big, you have to establish your prestige, but if you are here to be a nobody, it is not advisable to do so.

Since Deng Qi has already surrendered to me, there is no point in damaging his prestige, and it is also a good opportunity for me to hide my incompetence.

This matter actually needs to be viewed from two aspects. Forcing the six Caos to move, on the one hand, established their prestige.

On the other hand, people will think that you are unforgiving and too harsh. Whether this impression is a good thing or a bad thing in the eyes of those in power is another matter.

"That doesn't have to be the case. If you do that, you will lose all your prestige in front of your subordinates. Since you are mine, I won't make things difficult for you. Just do your job well in the future.

"Okay, let's do this, just pick a better yard." Su Yun told Deng Qi. Deng Qi felt a little strange. He proposed that the six Caos move as usual, not only to maintain Su Yun's prestige, but also to show his loyalty.

I have offended Su Yun. Although I have surrendered to him now, my master will not be happy if I don't humble myself.

Unexpectedly, Su Yun actually stopped him and prevented him from damaging his prestige.

Why do I feel warm in my heart?

strangeness.

I have been in the Six Caos for many years, and I am decisive in killing people. My heart has long been corrupted by power. How could I be moved by such a small favor?

This thought flashed through his mind, and soon Deng Qi regained his capable spirit. He immediately assured Su Yun that he would select the yard, sweep the floor, and equip it with all kinds of supplies and reliable clerks overnight, so that the young master could go to work directly tomorrow.

Su Yun smiled and nodded. As for the words about preparing overnight, he just listened to them. It was already so late and there was no one in Nan Ya. How could they prepare overnight?

But Su Yun was well aware of his subordinate's intention to show his loyalty, so he just nodded with a smile.

The next day, Su Yun was awakened from his daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw it was Ah Hui.

Su Yun looked at the sky. It was clear and sunny, perfect weather for sleeping in.

"Ayun, you woke me up so early. If you don't have a good reason, you can stay in bed for the time being."

Su Yun said viciously.

Ah Hui was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "Yeah, you want to break my legs again, right? Go ahead and beat me.

There is an official outside who claims to be sent by Deng Qi to report that the Tongpan Hall is ready and you can go anytime."

Su Yun turned over and asked in surprise, "Is it really packed?"

Well, I have to go and take a look. It's time to go to work. I have already wasted a few days. If I don't go, it won't look good if it gets out.

Thinking of this, Su Yun got up, washed, ate the breakfast brought back by Ah Hui, and set off for Kaifeng government office.

This time, when Su Yun's donkey cart arrived at the gate of the government office, he saw Deng Qi and dozens of clerks waiting at the door. The sight of so many people immediately attracted attention.

Su Yun sat in the car, shook his head and smiled. This Deng Qi is really a smart man.

Although he did not allow him to move to Liucao, they not only cleaned up the yard immediately overnight, but also brought people here to greet him early in the morning. This was to create an attitude of submission to the Tongpan in front of others.

In this way, Su Yun's prestige will not only not be damaged, but he will win the reputation of being magnanimous.

It's true that Deng Qi is ambitious, but he's also a very smart man. It's impossible for an ordinary person to come up with such a complicated idea.

But it is also true that if someone could suppress hundreds of clerks in the six ministries, how could he do so without such abilities and skills?

Su Yun got out of the car and was led into the yamen by Deng Qi. He walked inside and came to a courtyard.

Deng Qi introduced: "Jianzhou, this courtyard is next to the prefectural hall. In fact, it is of the same standard as the prefectural hall. Others did not dare to have the same standard as the prefect, so they chose a courtyard one level lower, so this place is left empty."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Isn't this the Tongpan Hall?"

Deng Qi laughed and said, "Normally, the prefect and the magistrate don't get along well and won't get so close.

In most provincial capitals, the prefectural magistrate's office and the magistrate's office were quite far apart, either to the east and west, or to the south and north.

Then when there is something important, we go to the hall together to discuss things, and we usually don’t see each other on weekdays.”

Su Yun looked at Deng Qi, meaning, if that's the case, then why did you arrange me to sit next to the prefect.

Deng Qi smiled and said, "You see, actually the exit here and the exit of the prefectural hall are two different roads, so although they are together, they are actually two courtyards and do not interfere with each other.

Others don't dare to live here because they don't dare to compare themselves with the prefect. But it doesn't matter to you, because you are the governor."

Su Yun nodded and stepped into the yard. There was a lobby in the middle, which could be used to receive subordinate officials. Further in was the escort hall, where official business was handled.

There are some rooms on the side, which can be used as offices for clerks under the Tongpan Hall. Further back is the living place, which is the so-called back court.

The environment in the back court is quiet and the place is quite large. It is more than enough to accommodate dozens of people. It is really very livable. If Su Yun finds it inconvenient to go to work in the future, he can also live here.

The size of this courtyard is indeed very large, and it should be of the same size as that of the prefectural one.

Su Yun looked around and found that the yard was very clean. Although the various supplies were not brand new, they were in very good condition. They should all be the best selected from the warehouse.

Everything in the yamen is custom-made and cannot be purchased casually. Generally speaking, they use whatever is in the warehouse. Next time when they need it, they can submit an order in advance for purchase.

These things are 90% new and wiped very clean, and some are even waxed, which shows that Deng Qi is indeed very attentive.

Deng Qi said: "All these office things have been prepared. If you feel that they are not convenient to use, please tell me and I will replace them for you. If you like something, you can also tell me and I will arrange it for you.

As for the back office, the basic quilts and other things will all be replaced with new ones for you. If you are not used to them, you can also bring them from home...

As for the clerks, if you have any familiar ones, I will transfer them to you. If you are not sure, you can also bring your own confidants to fill in the yamen."

Deng Qi explained the internal and external situations one by one.

Su Yun smiled and said, "Very good, let's talk about the rest later.

I'll get familiar with it first, and you can go and do your own thing."

Deng Qi quickly said goodbye and left.

Su Yun touched this, looked there, and inspected every room. Wow, this courtyard is as big as a courtyard with three entrances, and even more majestic.

It is better to take the civil service exam. Look, the office space you just graduated with is so luxurious. If you go to a private company, you will be given a cubicle and work like a slave.

However, Su Yun laughed. His situation was rather special. Other Jinshi scholars were not as comfortable in their local areas as he was.

Su Yun walked around, then called the servants to boil water and make tea. He drank tea while reading some files.

These files are naturally not about the current situation, but about some systems of Kaifeng Prefecture, which were carefully prepared by Deng Qi.

Su Yun read the files for several days in a row in the aroma of tea, and the government seemed to have forgotten about him. No one came to arrange work for him, so Su Yun was naturally happy and free.

He was free and easy, but Li Qingchen was a little restless. He asked his confidant, "What's the situation with Su Yun? How come he has been here for several days and I don't know why he came to pay a visit to me, the prefect. What has he been doing these days?"
