Chapter 470: Can't Wait for the Thunder to Explode
Anyone caught falsifying household registration will be killed as a warning to the rest, civilians will be killed to warn the public, and officials will be killed to warn other officials.
In short, it’s just one word - kill.
As more people die, there will naturally be fewer people and officials who dare to take action. This is even simpler and more effective than connecting to the Internet.
Diwu Tanwei didn't expect her to ask this out of the blue, but he still told the truth: "Before my grandfather took over the family business, it was indeed possible to forge household registration, but it was not as convenient as you said. It is impossible to have a perfect identity everywhere."
She gave Shen Zheng an example: "For example, if I am forged as a person from Liuyang Prefecture, then I'd better not leave Liuyang Prefecture, and I must not let my household registration information be seen by inspectors from other places. The more times I change my household registration, the greater the risk."
This answer was similar to what Shen Zheng thought. Nowadays, trying to forge household registration would definitely be a very risky thing with more disadvantages than advantages.
After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "You don't do this business anymore, right? Then do you know where else I can forge household registration?"
Diwu Tanwei looked at the letter in her hand, pursed his lips and replied: "Since my grandfather showed goodwill to His Majesty, these business families have not touched each other again. Now they dare to forge household registration..."
She thought for a while, feeling a little annoyed, and said apologetically: "I haven't paid attention to this matter yet. I will send someone to investigate when I go back today."
"Don't be in a hurry." Shen Zheng got her answer and then started reading the letter.
She was somewhat happy that the Fifth Family was not involved in this matter.
I am happy for Diwu Tanwei and also for Your Majesty.
After all, household registration can be a big or small matter. On a small scale, it affects the lives of local people, and on a large scale, it affects official careers. The Fifth Family went to great lengths to get Fifth Tanwei into officialdom, and if something like this happens again...
All the previous efforts of the fifth company were wasted.
"How is it?" The Fifth Tanwei suddenly asked, "Did the spy get the information you wanted?"
"Yes, but not completely." After reading it, Shen Zheng handed the letter to her, "Take a look."
Diwu Tanwei was flattered, but he was a little afraid to take it. "Can I see it?"
Her relationship with Lord Shen has become so good that they can exchange secrets with each other?
The fifth Tanwei's heart was pounding with excitement.
"Of course you can read it." Shen Zheng laughed and placed the letter in front of her. "This matter concerns Liuyang Prefecture, and also concerns my Tong'an County and your Yonglu County. It's always right for you to know more about it."
"what?"
The fifth Tanwei was stunned.
She thought that Lord Shen was using the jade pendant to investigate her life experience...
Because she had heard as early as when she went to the capital that it was his adoptive father, not his biological parents, who raised Lord Shen.
It’s not that her adoptive father was a bad person, but she thought Lord Shen would be curious about who her biological parents were and why they abandoned her.
But who would have thought... Lord Shen seemed to have no curiosity about her biological parents.
Diwu Tanwei felt that Shen Zheng's thoughts were extremely difficult to guess. Even though they were both women, she still found it difficult to understand Shen Zheng.
While she was thinking, she did not read the letter, but kept staring at Shen Zheng in a daze, which made Shen Zheng feel uneasy.
"Fifth Chief Registrar, you... don't want to read the letter?"
"Ah?" Diwu Tanwei came back to his senses, "I have to see it, I have to see it."
She collected her thoughts, picked up the letter with both hands and unfolded it. When she saw the first sentence, her expression suddenly became serious.
"Is he a medical fraud?"
"That's right." Shen Zheng was originally sitting opposite her, but in order to explain the letter more conveniently, she moved to sit beside her.
Her voice reached Diwu Tanwei's ears more clearly.
"I suspect this man is a liar, but Lord Yu has investigated him many times in the mansion and has not been able to find any evidence against him. It seems as if he is really a living god who saves people from suffering."
"Living God?" Diwu Tanwei smiled disdainfully, "Would a living God let the people pay a high price for medicine? I think he is just robbing people."
Shen Zheng's eyes lit up and she tilted her head to look at her.
This little mouth is so sweet!
"You think so, right? I think so too, but I have no evidence. It's strange, Lord Yu is the prefect of Liuyang after all. Apart from the governor, he is the most powerful person in the entire Liuyang Prefecture. Who would have thought that there would be something he couldn't find out for the time being."
At first she thought that the "miracle doctor" was just a charlatan who sold medicine to make money, but the more she investigated, the more she felt something was wrong.
The household registration is correct, and the "miracle medicine" is correct. In other words, the resume of the "miracle doctor" is so clean that no one can find any clues.
"But luckily I have you." Shen Zheng suddenly smiled at the Fifth Tan, "Otherwise, sometimes we still have to rely on underground workers."
She pointed at the letter in Diwu Tanwei's hand and said, "Your family has found out what we couldn't. Although it's not complete, we at least know the man's background. If we unravel it, we will eventually find out."
"Underground workers?" Diwu Tanwei tilted his head in confusion, "But our tribe's business locations are not set up underground..."
Shen Zheng chuckled, "I'm praising you for being so secretive. You have so many tricks up your sleeve."
"That's it..."
Diwu Tanwei read the contents of the letter carefully, feeling a little uneasy.
What she didn't want to admit was that if her clan had not done the "business" of forging household registration, they would not have been able to catch the other party's flaws this time.
When it comes to falsifying household registration, her fifth family is the "pioneer", and most of the later generations followed their methods, so it is not difficult to find out.
But this doesn't seem to be a very glorious thing...
She coughed lightly, folded the letter and returned it to Shen Zheng, "I will send someone to keep an eye on him, and then send someone to investigate. Once I get any news, I will come to the county to find you."
Shen Zheng once again felt that "it's nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade" and couldn't help but express her worries.
"Lord Yu has also sent people to watch over them. But now the people who took the medicine trust the other party very much. Whether it is to attack them or the people who took the medicine, it will easily arouse public anger. For the time being, there are some constraints."
Unless necessary, it is best not to create rifts between officials and the public, so Yu Zhengqing was stuck in a position where he was neither up nor down.
If he takes action against the "miracle doctor" without direct evidence to prove that the "miracle medicine" is problematic, causing the people to have no medicine to use, the people will then direct the blame on Yu Zhengqing, thinking that it is the prefect who is destroying their livelihoods.
If someone with ulterior motives incites public opinion again, it will have a great impact on Yu Zhengqing's career - how can such a stubborn and arbitrary person be a parent official for the people?
But if there is something wrong with the medicine...
Shen Zheng frowned, analyzing the pros and cons of the two.
If there really is something wrong with the medicine, isn't it just waiting for the disaster to happen if people take it?
