The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Today, Beijing governs eight districts and nine counties.

After checking all eight districts in the morning and finding nothing amiss, Yang Dalin drove directly to Xingda County, the closest county to the freight station, but still found no problems there.

When Yang Dalin drove clockwise and saw the third county town, his face turned ugly.

This county has a newly built orphanage by Boss Huo.

These orphans are being well taken care of now.

When Yang Dalin asked the older children how they had been doing since he donated money at the end of the year before last,

The boy told him that nothing had changed; he was still suffering from the cold.

They were not enough to eat or wear.

He then went to the local relief station with a dark expression and asked around about the impoverished families of martyrs in the county seat.

Their lives continued much the same as before.

Unless there is someone in the family who is suitable for working, they will be recruited.

They improved their lives through their own efforts.

Instead of relying on government assistance.

Clearly, the leaders and subordinates in this place are not very good.

Yang Dalin was not in a hurry to go back.

He wanted to investigate.

He called the Gulou Subdistrict Office and told his aunt.

He told her he had something to do that evening and wouldn't be home that night.

So Yang Dalin waited until nightfall and searched the home of the person in charge of the county's civil affairs bureau.

I never expected that bastard would actually embezzle the money.

He also has an account book.

The record shows the gifts he gave to several leaders in the county.

The gift-giving and receiving happened more than once, with the most frequent recipient being the county party secretary.

No wonder nobody dares to do anything about it.

Okay, so this bastard not only embezzled his own donations, but also a lot of other people's donations and grants, right?

How could Yang Dalin possibly give them a good life?

After taking photos of all the evidence, they went to the county party secretary's house.

This guy is an even bigger corrupt official.

The director of the Civil Affairs Bureau who gave him the gift was just one of them.

He also had a secret ledger, which he thought he had hidden very well.

However, Yang Dalin could store all their belongings in his space, drug them, and put them into a breathing space so they could continue sleeping. Yang Dalin could also search their house inch by inch.

So Yang Dalin found the ledger very quickly.

He remembers very clearly who gave him gifts, what they were, and when they were given.

After taking the photos, Yang Dalin put them back in the same spot.

The secretary and his entire family were released.

I was thinking of killing him, but then I thought better of it. I'll just report this to my superiors and let them handle it.

After leaving the secretary's house, Yang Dalin went to the county magistrate's house.

They're birds of a feather, no good at all.

He also had a group of subordinates, and many of them gave him gifts.

The officials in the entire county are practically all corrupt.

It's only been a short time since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and this is still in the suburbs of Beijing. They even took down a big tiger before.

There are indeed too many of these people to kill.

Even a powerful emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't eliminate all corrupt officials.

Let's not talk about the present.

This is one of the reasons why Yang Dalin was unwilling to enter politics in the future.

They can't kill them all, they simply can't kill them all.

After Yang Dalin completed the operation, he returned to his space and developed the photos.

They went to the next county before dawn.

Yang Dalin didn't sleep. He spent the whole day investigating the other counties. The other counties were okay. Although some counties had also deducted some money, it was only a small portion that had been misappropriated, and it was later made up.

It's better than this county.

Yang Dalin returned to Beijing the following evening.

Yang Dalin simply threw all the materials and photos in a large package at the entrance of the capital's municipal government.

The guards spotted them immediately.

The materials were quickly delivered to Secretary Peng, who also served as mayor.

Looking at these materials, Secretary Peng felt like he was being slapped in the face.

It's impossible that Yang Dalin's materials only contained photos of the money he embezzled.

That would expose yourself.

Those photos showed all the embezzled savings, gold bars, silver dollars, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and bribery records of the county's Party Secretary and County Magistrate.

Yang Dalin laid out all the items he had found and took a picture of all the stolen money.

Then they put everything back exactly as it was.

Moreover, these two corrupt officials were unaware that their homes had been photographed.

Secretary Peng was not only angry at the evidence, but also at how stupid these two idiots were. He then ordered a group of bigwigs from the city to be summoned.

They immediately led their men straight to that county town.

Yang Dalin heard the news in the following days.

Seventy percent of the leading officials in that county were arrested.

I heard that there are more than a dozen people who eat peanuts that cost 50 cents each.

Good heavens, this has become the biggest corruption case of the spring of 64.

Moreover, inspections were being conducted in various districts and other counties.

It is estimated that the impact will soon spread to surrounding provinces and cities and the whole country.

I wonder how many colleagues in other places will curse these idiots.

They've all been dragged down by them.

Yang Dalin only learned after he returned that the investigation, which lasted for several months, had resulted in the execution of thousands of people across the country.

It dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of corrupt officials.

When it comes to tackling corrupt officials, we still need to look to the older generation.

Those were real executions, like those two in Tianjin a few years ago.

That's quite a high-ranking position.

He's still an old revolutionary.

Unlike later on, when many were only sentenced to life imprisonment or death with a two-year reprieve, it was rare for them to be directly sentenced to peanuts.

Damn it, this is how officialdom has always been.

It can never be changed.

Only during special periods can we maintain a period of severe crackdown.

Therefore, Yang Dalin disliked officialdom. He was afraid that he would lose himself in power in the future, so it was better not to enter officialdom.

Otherwise, it's better not to be an official who slacks off all day.

Just like Sun Liancheng, some netizens in later generations said that he was a good official, but he did nothing and yet he became a good official.

What kind of logic is that?

Doing nothing and just lying around, is that considered being a good official?

It's fine if you don't receive a salary or enjoy the benefits of your position. It's also fine if you receive a salary but do nothing, neither being greedy nor doing any work.

That guy is useless; he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Later, some people said that they weren't afraid he wasn't greedy; if you were greedy, you could do something for him.

What I fear most is someone like Sun Liancheng, who neither takes money nor does anything.

In Yang Dalin's eyes, this kind of person is even more hateful.

Yang Dalin has been staying home and spending the last few days with his family.

He rested until the seventh day.

Director Hou asked Gao Xiaohu to inform him that Yang Dalin had come to Director Hou's secret office location again.

Director Hou told him that the higher-ups had agreed to let Yang Dalin go to Hong Kong Island to carry out the plan. They originally wanted him to join Runhua Company, but Director Hou stopped him from doing so.

Then the support from above will be weaker.

Although Yang Dalin made significant contributions on the undercover front, if he were to join Runhua Company, where seniority was the primary factor, even if a large amount of capital were invested, Yang Dalin would have very little say in the matter.
