Chapter 344 - 333: The Excitement Never Ends
"Who is this Assistant Imperial Censor?" Yang Zhenshan curiously asked.
"Lu Zhensu, a major corrupt official!" Luo Chen expressed a dark resentment.
"Corrupt official!" Yang Zhenshan was astonished, but soon he chuckled and did not ask further.
Corrupt official!
Isn’t that quite normal?
No merchant is without cunning, no official without greed; this is the norm.
Drag a hundred officials out, ninety should be beheaded, of the remaining ten, eight should have their families seized and be exiled, one is probably new to the post, the last might be clever at hiding his misdeeds, or he might be seeking a reputation, of course, he could also genuinely be an honest official.
Anyway, among the officials Yang Zhenshan met, the only one who could be called honest was Xu Jin.
Xu Jin was extremely rigid and serious about his duties, truly an oddity.
As for others, they seem not corrupt on the surface, but sometimes they do seek personal benefits, like Zhou Lan; naturally, she wouldn’t engage in embezzling salary funds, but she would still uphold the interests of Duke Ning Mansion, and as long as she’s looking out for the private benefits of Duke Ning Mansion, that’s seeking personal gain.
