"Eight methods and sixteen styles?" Ni Heng laughed and said, "I made up randomly..."

"You made it up..." Guan Ning was stunned for a moment, he thought it was true.

Guan Ning received a transfer order before Tian Yu and came from Longxi. This time, he was mainly responsible for the preliminary arrangement of this public trial with Ni Heng.

After all, now taking action against Wei's will involve many things...

Therefore, it became an inevitable choice to transfer officials from other places from Guanzhong.

Guan Ning had just finished eating noodles in a restaurant outside. When he came back, he heard the officials discussing the "Eight Methods of Corruption and Sixteen Styles". He also heard that it was Ni Heng's words, so he came to ask.

Ni Heng smiled so hard that his body shook, and then waved his hand for a while and said, "What kind of corruption that guy said should not be made public..."

Guan Ning nodded.

『But...』 Ni Heng said, 『Actually... the art of corruption is far more than the ones written on the board... For example, just say Wei, Wei is good at calligraphy, right? I have heard a lot of people come to ask for calligraphy, and then brag about how good this calligraphy is... How about this? This is a thousand gold for a word!"

Ni Heng clapped his hands, "The word is that word, and the painting is that painting! Is it really worth so much? Haha..."

Guan Ning nodded, "I know this, do you know calligraphy and painting? It's Yacai."

In order to cover up, some officials will use seemingly legal or culturally strong means to embezzle them. They can make money by trading art such as calligraphy, painting, antiques, etc., or embezzle public funds in the name of cultural activities.

There are also things like collecting, such as similar.

It was obviously bought at a high price, but then it was said that it was a vacancy on the street, which was not worth a lot of money. Then the officials naturally refused and asked to pay the "original price", so it was naturally a "fair transaction", which was extremely elegant...

Similarly, officials are invited to write inscriptions, lectures, awards, write prefaces, be judges, and titles of the titles...

'This thing...' Ni Heng sneered, 'Is it only happening in these years? Haha, or these things, no one knows?'

"That's it..." Guan Ning scratched his head a little.

Of course he knew these things, but he didn't like to comment.

Guan Ning is hard to say, Ni Heng doesn't care, "For example, Wei's family still has greed!"

Ni Heng continued, "Wei Shih-san opens shops, pawn shops, or participates in some market trades, seeks personal gain through power and means such as forced buying and selling, extortion, etc.."

"Huh..." Ni Heng sighed, "In addition, these worms are greedy and abused, and they can do everything they can! The eight methods and sixteen styles are just imaginary numbers. If they really talk about their greed skills and their methods of making money, it is more than these sixteen numbers?"

Guan Ning was silent.

『Hmph!』 Ni Heng snorted again disdainfully, 『I want me to tell you, there are still many of the three auxiliary assistants in Guanzhong...』

Guan Ning hurriedly stepped forward to cover Ni Heng's mouth.

"Mmm...mmmm...mmmm..." Ni Heng struggled.

'This is not important!' Guan Ning said quickly, 'What is important is that Xun Jun is willing to sentence Wei to public trial!'

Ni Heng stopped struggling and nodded.

Public trials are not an innovation that was only found in later generations. They should have appeared in the ancient tribe period, and some criminals were punished publicly in the tribe.

This model has appeared in history from ancient times to the present, both at home and abroad. Even those who have always emphasized human rights and privacy all day long have actually created many guillotines and burned people in the square. As a result, after having fun, they turned into small vests and began to accuse others of others.

In fact, in ancient China, the yamen often had an open model for trial of cases. When the prefect and the magistrate tried various cases, the gates of the yamen court were open, and the masses could stand at the gate to watch, but they could not disrupt the order or make noise. There was also a convention that after the autumn of each year, prisoners would be executed publicly in the bustling areas of the city.

What’s interesting is that the government is willing to take out some murderers for public trial.

After all, the crime of murderer is very certain, and the person who killed cannot come back alive. Therefore, if such a crime is involved, generally speaking, there is no problem with the public trial and public verdict.

But, is the corruption offender...

There are very few public trials, especially big guys like Weiss.

Logically speaking, corrupt officials buy and sell official positions, embezzle and accept bribes, crack down on whistleblowers and other things that cannot be seen are ugly, and it is even more a crime. Such a trial should let people know more, the better, and the farther they should spread, because this can not only educate people, but also make people learn lessons and learn from them.

But in fact, in the feudal dynasty, the more corruption cases there are, the more vigilant they are. "Idle people are not allowed to enter the house." And even the specific trial and what the confession says are obscure and must not be easily leaked. Especially in the feudal dynasty, the more serious the corruption, the more cautious they are in this regard. Not only are they used to arrest corrupt officials in secret operations, but they are unaware of it, but even when corrupt officials are imprisoned, it is difficult for the common people to see their "face".

After all, everyone knows that if this corrupt official is tried in public, many issues may be reported in court. What if a corrupt official is unrestrained and accidentally misses something, reveals some shocking inside information, and even some names that should be said or not are exposed?

Someone had a heart attack on the spot...

Therefore, in the feudal dynasty in history, many corrupt officials did not conduct public trials, because they were to control them within a certain amount. If a corrupt official was really arrested, they would always have a few small targets of dozens of them. Ordinary people still felt that a bowl of noodles worth ten yuan was too expensive and the pressure of life was too great. In contrast, what should they do if the public was in a hurry to be overwhelmed?

Guan Ning's meaning is that Xun You is now willing to make Wei Duan public trial, which is already very amazing...

At least in Shandong, many officials dare not do this.

If you can keep the door closed, you will be tried quietly. If you can be tried quietly, you will be tried quietly, indicating that the case involves the secrets of the great Han Dynasty and the untouchables are not worthy of knowing it.

After all, if something big man is involved, should I still want the black hat on my head?

When Ni Heng heard Guan Ning say this, he nodded in agreement. After a moment, he laughed again, "Now, among the three assistants in Chang'an, he had been close to Wei's family in the early years and had mixed money, hahaha, he should be frightened!"

Guan Ning heard this and nodded and smiled at first, but as he smiled, he suddenly stiffened, as if he was thinking of something...

Ni Heng looked strange and frowned slightly when Guan Ning looked.

Guan Ning came to his senses and whispered: "This Wei family... from Chang'an to the public trial... halfway, or here..."
