Chapter 81 Listen carefully, I will only teach you once!
Su Wenyi never expected that Emperor Qing would actually give him additional tasks at this time.
Just leave this matter of corrupt officials to yourself?
I am currently investigating corruption. Under such circumstances, would I allow others to embezzle?
What a joke, even if the system rewarded me with a hobby of all the censors in the Censorate.
Putting aside whether it is a normal version or not, even if you know the other person's hobby, what can you do?
Furthermore, the Inspection Office and the Censorate are two completely unrelated departments.
The special nature of the Inspection Institute itself determines that it is impossible for it to have too much contact with civil and military officials.
Asking a corrupt official to do corruption work? What a joke!
Su Wenyi said to Emperor Qing with a straight face: "Your Majesty, you should leave this kind of work to someone else."
"I'm already busy enough catching corrupt officials. Besides, given my current status, all the civil and military officials in the court hate me for not being alive."
"Some people even want to eat me alive, and I'm going to bribe those imperial officials?"
"Your Majesty, do you believe it?"
When Emperor Qing heard that Su Wenyi had started using the word "I", he slowed down his tone for a moment.
This kind of thing can only be done by Su Wenyi.
Emperor Qing walked to Su Wenyi's side, looked at him kindly and said, "Wenhe, I don't trust others with this kind of thing!"
Su Wenyi said expressionlessly: "You may feel relieved if you leave it to me, but I am not."
"If I am busy bribing people from the Censorate while arresting people, this matter will get out."
"Willn't they be attacked by everyone by then?"
"Besides, Your Majesty, you have many talented people under your command."
"I'm very busy right now, and I have to deal with Cheng Jushu's affairs at the same time."
When Emperor Qing heard about Cheng Jushu, he raised his hand and interrupted, "Stop, hasn't Cheng Jushu been subdued by your subordinate Deng Ziyue?"
"Besides, you are now the head of the first department, so the affairs of the seventh department have nothing to do with you."
When Su Wenyi heard this, he was speechless.
The next second, Su Wenyi spoke again: "What about Fan Xian? And Si Lili."
"Your Majesty, Si Lili's identity is special after all, and this assassination was carried out by her hands."
"Si Lili had already escaped but was caught by Fan Xian."
"After Fan Xian returns, I will focus on dealing with the matters concerning Si Lili and Lin Gong."
"As for Prime Minister Lin, I will also go to negotiate with him!"
"I can't do this!"
Emperor Qing was once again rejected by Su Wenyi without any unhappiness. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's okay!"
"This is something that will take a long time, there is no rush."
"Well, if you can really successfully corrupt those imperial censors, I will give you a raise."
Su Wenyi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not short of money now. I got a lot from Zhuge."
"So, you should leave this job to someone else!"
"Anything else? I'm leaving now."
Having said that, Su Wenyi prepared to leave.
Just as Su Wenyi was about to leave, Emperor Qing suddenly said, "If you want to do this, don't blame me for being ruthless."
When Su Wenyi heard this, he immediately laughed!
Ha! Lao Liu, you still want to threaten me? You must be kidding!
I was alone, with only Abao and Xiaohua by my side.
What does the life and death of others have to do with me?
If you want to suppress me, the worst that can happen is that I will just run away to Northern Qi overnight.
When I arrive in Northern Qi, I will pay you back for all the suffering I have endured at your side.
Lao Liu, what can you do to me?
Su Wenyi turned around and looked at Emperor Qing with a fake smile and said, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"
Emperor Qing snorted coldly and said, "If you agree to this, I will never mention the matter of marriage again!"
After hearing this, Su Wenyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Majesty, even if you mentioned it, I might not listen!"
"How about you try another trick? This one doesn't work very well."
Emperor Qing looked at Su Wenyi with a smirk and said, "Really? The princess has been alone for so many years."
"It just so happens that you and Wen are both alone. I think you two are a perfect match!"
After saying this, Emperor Qing stood there with his hands on his waist, a smug smile on his face.
The smile on Su Wenyi's face disappeared instantly when he heard this!
Lao Liu! You are so cruel! So disgusting!
If Emperor Qing, the Sixth Prince, arranges marriage with Li Yunrui, even if I run away, I won't be able to stop this crazy woman Li Yunrui from disgusting me.
By then, even if I kill the other person, it will be too late.
This move is really cruel!
So disgusting!
Okay, you forced me to do this, just wait!
If I don’t give it back, I’m not called Su Wenyi!
Su Wenyi gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I will take this matter!"
"But I can only guarantee that this matter can be accomplished. As for the rest, I will not be responsible for anything else!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing laughed and said, "Okay! You just need to do what you are supposed to do, and you don't need to worry about the rest!"
"Wenhe, after this matter is resolved, I promise to find you a good match."
Upon hearing this, Su Wenyi raised his hand and interrupted, "Stop! We just agreed that we will never mention the matter of arranged marriage again." "Okay, it's getting late, there are not many people here, the chickens are not crowing, and the dogs are not barking."
"Your Majesty, it's time for me to go home and have a good sleep. I'll see you tomorrow for the rest!"
After saying that, Su Wenyi turned around and ran without saying a word!
Emperor Qing couldn't help laughing when he saw Su Wenyi running away.
"Hehe~ You're still a little young to fight me!"
What Emperor Qing didn’t know was that what he did today would make him regret it so much in the future!
The next day
Su Wenyi sent someone to invite Li Chengze early in the morning. Su Wenyi still remembered what Emperor Qing had instructed him to do last night.
After thinking about this matter, Su Wenyi decided to let Emperor Qing's son Li Chengze do it.
Li Chengze is a prince himself. The resources, connections and intelligence under such a person are naturally not comparable to those of Su Wenyi alone.
This time, the mission was for the Procuratorate, but ultimately it was to do things for Emperor Qing.
You can do it yourself, but if there is someone better and more suitable, why should you bother?
By the way, you can also trick Emperor Qing.
Best of both worlds!
So at noon, Li Chengze came to Tongfu Inn again, but this time he was invited by Su Wenyi.
Inside the room, Li Chengze sat on a chair with a look of surprise on his face.
Li Chengze never thought that Su Wenyi would actually invite him.
Li Chengze asked Su Wenyi curiously, "Mr. Su invited me here, is there anything?"
Su Wenyi said bluntly: "Your father gave me a task, but after thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable person for this matter."
"So I'm going to let you do it, and I can also trick your father at the same time."
"How about it, do you want to do it?"
When Li Chengze heard Su Wenyi's words, his first reaction was not to care about what the matter was.
Li Chengze's first reaction was, can I cheat my dad? Sure! I have to do this myself!
For so many years, I have been treated like a chess piece by my father. Now that I have the chance, I must trick him.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to breathe!
Li Chengze looked at Su Wenyi with shining eyes and asked, "Can you trick my father? How?"
Su Wenyi did not hide anything and said directly: "Recently, the censors are very unhappy because of my policy on dealing with corrupt officials."
"You should know about this matter. Your father is really troubled by this matter, so he asked me."
"There are ways to deal with corrupt officials, but how do we deal with honest officials?"
"So I gave your father a strategy. Since it can clean up corrupt officials, why not turn honest officials into corrupt officials?"
When Li Chengze heard this, his eyes lit up for a moment.
But the next moment, Li Chengze's face suddenly turned ugly.
Li Chengze said hesitantly: "Hmm? That makes sense!"
"But those people in the Censorate are like stones. Silver is just dirt in front of them."
"It's probably unlikely that they will be able to collect the money."
Su Wenyi listened to Li Chengze's words and said angrily: "Don't you only know how to throw money? Don't you know anything else?"
Li Chengze looked at Su Wenyi and said seriously, "Of course, it's not just about money. We've tried beauties, antiques, collectibles, calligraphy and paintings."
"But without exception, all of them failed!"
When Su Wenyi heard this, he didn't know how to evaluate the person in front of him for a moment.
Finally, Su Wenyi sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, then I'll teach you!"
"Remember, I will only teach you once! If you can't learn it, I'll hang myself on a crooked tree!"
As he spoke, Su Wenyi took out a book and placed it in front of Li Chengze.
After turning over one of the pages, Su Wenyi pointed at the name on it.
"Wang Changqing, the censor of the Inspectorate, this clearly records Wang Changqing's hobbies and interests, as well as the hobbies of his family members, and what is needed."
"Let's talk about his hobbies first. He loves to eat delicious food, especially gourmet food."
"This alone is enough to corrupt this person. A greedy person cannot control his appetite."
"But as an imperial censor, his salary is not enough to support him to eat the delicacies he likes."
"If that's the case, can you use this as a bribe?"
After hearing this, Li Chengze immediately showed a black question mark face.
"Can this be bribed?"
Su Wenyi said seriously: "If a lustful person can find a beautiful woman, why can't he treat the other person to a meal if he likes delicious food?"
"Besides, there is a lot of knowledge involved in how to invite someone!"
"It's a small restaurant. Replace the chef with a famous chef, and then set up a stall in front of Wang Changqing's house."
"At the beginning, we should focus on cheap prices, and then wait until the other party gets used to it."
"Once he becomes dependent on it, it will be too late even if he wants to refuse!"
