He Yan: The corruption that stunned me and the adults was really eye-opening, there was no blackest but darker.
Things started like this, He Yan and his superiors were overseeing the army in Gansu, the soldiers and horses had no grain and grass, and Wang Tingzan, the envoy of Gansu, thought that he had made a good calculation, and took out the forty thousand taels of silver he had saved to solve the urgent need first, and the private money was used to think that he would be rewarded by the emperor, and as a result, qianlong was a little confused, because Gansu reported the drought for several years and applied for disaster relief from the imperial court, how could an ordinary official pay so much silver.

So Qianlong sent he Yan to investigate, and he yan was simply handy at doing this kind of thing, and he first arranged for the housekeeper Liu Quan to take some people dressed as small traders to inquire whether there had been a drought in Gansu and other places in recent years.
At the same time, Hezhen also found a prisoner (what is a prisoner?). To explain, that is, the Guozijian is the highest institution of learning, and if you can't get into the examination, the students who can only donate some taxes to go in and study are called the students) The taxes paid by the students are used for disaster relief, but there is no disaster, where are these funds?
Gansu has been reporting drought every year for seven consecutive years, and there is no drought at all, so where has the grain gone in recent years? This involved not a few officials from all over Gansu, and this picketing was a big case that shocked the imperial court. Washu was stunned!
After so many years of donating money to the prison and the country for disaster relief, the national treasury will definitely have grain in storage, and He yan plans to start from the grain storehouse.
He Yan borrowed a hundred soldiers in the barracks, directly found the Lanzhou prefect Jiang Quandi asked him to cooperate in the inspection of the grain depot, opened the granary on the spot for the soldiers to check one by one, and soon found that the granary was only above the grain, the bottom of the shelf was empty, and the granary had no grain at all! Just on the surface it looks like there is.
He Yan directly imprisoned Jiang Quandi and began to interrogate him, and soon all of them were recruited, and it turned out that Wang Qiwang, the former envoy of Gansu, was an official in Gansu, and felt that Gansu was too poor to have oil and water, so he colluded with the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Le Erjin, to lie about the disaster in Gansu, and converted all the donations into silver and silver, and made false accounts to play the imperial court saying that it was used for disaster relief, Qianlong had been buried in the drum, without knowing it, and the current envoy Wang Tingzan was also pulled out of the water after discovering this problem, and together they followed the same stream.
After Qianlong received He yan's report, he couldn't believe that you were tasting, you were tasting, it was so amazing that the officials of the whole province united to deceive the imperial court, not only embezzling money and donating money, but also emptying the state stock of grain, and also privately dividing the imperial court's appropriations.
The number of people involved in this matter reached 112, the amount involved was 18 million taels of silver, and Qianlong qi almost lifted the table.
If this case is stipulated according to the regulations, I am afraid that as many as sixty people will beheaded, and the Punishment Department will be more difficult, and beheading more than sixty officials at once; this is an incident that has never been done since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Qianlong had to let the Punishment Department handle it as appropriate, and finally more than a hundred officials were raided, more than twenty senior officials were beheaded, and more than thirty officials were imprisoned and imprisoned, shocking the government and the public.
During this trip to Gansu to investigate the case, he also made a great contribution to his career and further consolidated his official position.
Conclusion: Let the corrupt officials check the corrupt officials, this matter is simply a light car for Hezhen, skilled, easy to come by, thoroughly investigated, it is estimated that letting others go is not necessarily better than Hezhen.
