Chapter 51 Carrying a Thorn (Central)

As he spoke, he continued to lean over to the ground and let out a sad voice.

When the officials heard this, a little bit of tranquility surged on their faces. China has always emphasized the meaning of filial piety and brotherhood. Parents are equal to heaven to their children. Although there is also a saying that "husbands die and follow their sons", everyone has only seen my mother complain about her son, but no one has ever seen her mother who teaches her a lesson by being a son.

From Han Jianhong's own cry, he might not have made any big mistakes, but his mother was short-sighted and caused trouble outside under the banner of her son. If this statement is true, this guy is indeed full of wrongdoing but has nowhere to be heard.

"Get up, don't pretend to be a grandson. Mr. Zhu's account has only a hero who would rather die than bend over, and there are no kowtow bugs." Zhu Chongjiu's voice came from the conference hall, with a hint of regret. He had reported to him as early as when Mr. Su and Lu Lu joined forces to investigate the Han family. In recent days, he had also read some documents compiled by the two of them, so he was not surprised at all about Han Laoliu's doom. The only surprised person was not sure that he was inspired by some master. This guy actually took the initiative to play the drama of carrying a thorn and apologizing before he dealt with him.

"Oh, ah." When the salt administration ambassador Han Jianhong heard this, he immediately struggled to stand up. However, the wooden prosthetic limb on the left half of his thigh was not as flexible as he stood halfway. He immediately fell down again, and his forehead hit the floor tiles, and his head was bleeding.

Now, his appearance became more and more sympathetic. The officials turned their heads and couldn't bear to continue watching. Zhu Chongjiu felt soft in his heart in the meeting hall. He sighed softly and whispered, "In the past few people, loosened his rope and helped him in. Su Changshi, Lu Changshi, the official and deputy directors of the Office of the Official Affairs Bureau of the Office of the House of Information, and the Office of the Interior, come in to discuss matters. Others, do not just think about watching other people's fun!"

"Yes." The officials who were clicked agreed in unison, got up and left their seats, and quickly walked into the meeting hall. Liu Ju, the commander of the guard, took four burly men, walked down the steps, helped Han Laoliu up, untied the rope on his body, and then helped him into the lobby.

"Jingtiao, Jingtiao." Han Laoliu was helped in and walked in, while reminding the guards, not to leave behind the torture instruments he punished him.

"Why are you pretending to be pitiful? Did you learn this kind of ability in the Zuo Army back then?" Zhu Chongjiu felt angry again when he heard this, his eyes widened and scolded him sternly.

Now, Han Laoliu did not dare to mention his thorns anymore. He struggled to take a few steps and came to the center of the meeting hall, pushed away the personal guard who was supporting him, raised his hand to salute Zhu Chongjiu, "Governor, I know that I am wrong. Please punish the governor according to the law to serve as a warning to others."

"How to punish you depends on how much crime you committed." Zhu Chongjiu felt weak again when he was the governor of the Left Army in Xuzhou. When he was the governor of the Left Army in Xuzhou, he lacked prestige and was maliciously detained by Zhao Jun's supplies. Therefore, only a thousand people could join the battle, and among them, there were very few people who could understand military books and maps. It was at that time that Wu Liangmou and Han Jianhong and other young men were sent to his team by their respective families. Not only did they greatly make up for the lack of talents under his command, but they also laid a solid foundation for the transformation of the Left Army in Xuzhou to the Huai'an Army.

Therefore, Zhu Chongjiu always looked up to the old brothers who followed him in Xuzhou and the young heroes sent by the villages on the banks of Shanyang Lake. Even though he had more and more talents under his command, many of them were famous for their time. The civil and military officials from Xuzhou and Shanyang always grasped the key position of the Huaiyang General Administration Office. They have never been abandoned by him because of their lack of ability and fame.

But judging from the information that Mr. Su and Lu Lu had selected and sent him, the fastest fallen are probably the two hills of Xuzhou and Shanyang, as if they were able to compete for the great things. From now on, these people have started to seek benefits for their relatives and friends.

"As for your mother." Thinking of the angering content on the report, Zhu Chongjiu raised his hand to return a military salute to Han Laoliu and continued to say in a deep voice, "If you are really a filial son, don't push everything to her. I don't believe it. You don't know anything about her helping others outside."

"The last general, the last general, the last general, the last general, the last general, just, alas." Han Laoliu's face immediately turned into a braised pork liver. He lowered his head and responded very frankly, "The last general just thinks that it is all small things and has nothing to do with the overall situation. No, I didn't expect that the more busy I became, and even if I wanted to refuse later, I didn't have the courage."

"This is your problem, alas." Zhu Chongjiu also sighed deeply and turned his eyes to Zhang Song, the head of the Interior Department. "As for what he and his family have done, how far have you investigated? Can the case be closed?"

"Reporting to the lord, the Interior Affairs Office has found out that since Lord Han became the ambassador of the Salt Administration, he has used 41 relatives, friends and old friends to help twenty-seven people hand over notes, and arranged them all under the Sixth Bureau, or among the local governments in Yangzhou and Huai'an, there are still 123 people. It is his mother who came forward to help people. Lord Han knew it or not, and the Interior Affairs Office has not found out."

"Ah,." Even Han Jianhong himself did not expect that he had been the ambassador of the Salt Administration for more than two years, and he had actually installed so many private individuals, and he could have gathered two companies. He probably had never seen many of them.

"What about the MIIS? Is there anything to add?" Zhu Chongjiu glared at Han Laoliu fiercely and turned his eyes to Chen Ji.

"The MIIS has started to investigate those people, and basically no suspicious signs were found." Chen Ji, the head of the MIIS, thought about it and came forward to report truthfully. "Many of them have done a very dedicated job in the Salt Administration, and the public and private aspects can be clearly distinguished. There are nineteen children of the same clan who were introduced by Lord Han to the army and have already sacrificed their lives for their country."

"As for Lord Han himself, he has never accepted bribes from anyone in his position as the Ambassador of the Salt Administration, nor has he ever favored his relatives and friends. He just asked the way to send him to Huaiyang Business Company as a partner. Three of them had tried to sell gunpowder beyond the quota to Monk Peng in violation of regulations. The MIIS has already obtained all the stolen goods and is investigating whether more people are involved."

"Ah, this, how is this possible?" Han Jianhong heard this and suddenly shook his body as if he was struck by lightning, and almost fell down again.

He always had a principle for helping others, that is, this person is loyal and reliable, and his knowledge and ability should not be too bad. In this way, those colleagues who accepted his request will not complain in the future, and the Han family will be able to gain exponential favors in the longer term. But now, it is obvious that things have been completely out of his control. Those younger generations who easily gain benefits through their favors have not cherished the opportunities he gave, but relying on his protection, they began to ate the foundation of the General Administration without restraint.
