In fact, if Shen Yi and Li Mu were patient enough, they wouldn't have to do such risky things.
As long as they send people to investigate in Taizhou Prefecture for a year or two, or if it doesn't work, they can check it for three to five years, and they will always find flaws in the Wang family.
But the two of them left Beijing this time. Their real mission was to form an anti-Japanese army. They didn't have much free time to tangle with ordinary families in Taizhou Prefecture.
The so-called richest man in Taizhou was nothing in front of the court.
Not to mention that they were indeed suspected of collaborating with the Japanese. Even if they were not, with Li Mu's ID card and current power, he could easily place unfounded charges on the Wang family.
Of course, Shen Yi doesn't want to wrongly accuse good people.
He planned to blockade Linhai County and the Wang family's residence for three days.
Within three days, if there is no movement from the Japanese pirates, Shen Yi will release them, and then send the Di reporting department to investigate slowly. If the Japanese pirates come within three days...
There is no need to say much about the result.
On the first day of the detention of the Wang family, Shen Yi and Li Mu both stayed in the Wang family's mansion, but for the entire day, everything inside and outside Linhai County was calm, without any disturbance.
The eyeliners deployed along the coast did not see any movement from the Japanese pirates.
By the next morning, Li Mu couldn't sit still anymore, so he found Shen Yi in a wing of the Wang family's back house and said, "Zi Heng, there is no movement inside and outside, and we didn't find anything yesterday." , could it be that we really surrendered to their family?"
Shen Yi also hesitated in his heart. After he lowered his head and thought about it, he said, "Your Majesty, according to the court's procedures, even if you commit a capital crime, you must first be taken to prison and be executed at a later date."
"This process takes time."
Shen Sizheng said in a low voice: "I guess the Japanese pirates outside the city think that the Wang family's affairs are still improving, so there is no movement, so..."
He said slowly: "Let's post a notice in the city, saying that the Wang family's affair with the Japanese has been confirmed and has irrefutable evidence, because treason with the Japanese is a huge crime, and you, the crown prince, are His Majesty's imperial envoy who can make decisions on the fly. , it is absolutely possible to kill people directly without going through the Ministry of Punishment, that is to say, early tomorrow morning, the entire Wang family will be executed at the entrance of the Wang family’s mansion, as a warning to others.”
Li Mu hesitated and said, "This will make things big. If the Wang family cannot be killed by then, where will the court's laws and regulations be?"
Si Zheng Shen exhaled a breath and said, "I am 80% sure about this matter."
Fifty percent of Shen Yi's confidence came from the information found by the Di Reporting Department, and the other 30% came from intuition and what Master Gu once said to him.
When Li Mu heard this, he gritted his teeth first, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, based on your 80% certainty, Ziheng, I will make arrangements right away!"
With that said, the imperial envoy no longer hesitated and immediately asked someone to draft a notice.
As soon as the notice was posted, the whole city was in uproar.
The people in Linhai were talking a lot.
Some people say that they have long seen that the Wang family has evil intentions, while others say that they saw the leader of the Japanese pirates entering and exiting the Wang residence with their own eyes.
However, some people who had been favored by the Wang family questioned whether the government's handling was too arbitrary. In less than two days, without reporting to the court, it decided the life and death of a large family and the whole family.
However, none of this could affect the imperial envoy's decision.
All the entrances to the Wang family's mansion were tightly guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or exit. Some of the Wang family's servants were locked inside, trembling with fear, and some timid maids hugged each other and howled.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was the evening of the next day.
Li Mu looked up at the slowly darkening sky, turned to look at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "Zi Heng, if there are really Japanese pirates, it will probably be tonight. You and your people will guard here, and I..."
"I'm going to the city wall."
The reason why Li Mu wanted to go to the city wall was because he wanted to mobilize the Linhai Guards at the last moment, and Shen Yi, the eighth-grade Diji Reporter Sizheng, naturally did not have the power to mobilize the local guards.
Shen Yi sighed and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates have been rampant for so many years to the extent that the local officials and soldiers can't do anything about them. They must have some skills. If there are really Japanese pirates tonight, Your Majesty, please remember..."
"The first thing is to protect yourself!"
Li Mu patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Linhaiwei is just outside the city. I have written to them in advance. If something happens, they will be able to deal with it quickly. No matter how ferocious the Japanese pirates are, they can't defeat a thousand Even the Linhai Guards can't stop them from destroying the city."
Shen Yi nodded slightly and said, "I won't say any more unnecessary words. If I succeed tonight, everyone in Linhai will congratulate me tomorrow."
"When the anti-Japanese army is completed in the future, Your Majesty will at least give the crown prince a one-level promotion. In the future, the Jin Palace may be able to inherit the throne!"
Unlike the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty who were born hereditary and could not be replaced, the vassal kings of the Chen Kingdom were surrendered on behalf of others. In other words, the Jin Wangjue from the Jin Palace would become a county prince in the future when it came to Li Mu.
They were demoted from generation to generation, and after a few generations they became common people.
As for Li Mu, a noble member of the clan, the goal he was willing to strive for was hereditary succession.
Hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly, reached out and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said: "The people in the local government are unreliable. I will leave you with twenty Linhai Guards and ten soldiers from the royal palace to protect you personally. Safety."
After saying this, Li Mu put his hands behind his back and strode away surrounded by his entourage.
After Li Mu left, Shen Yi sat silently in the back house of the Wang family for a while, then returned to his room and slept.
When I woke up, it was already midnight.
Master Shen got up and got dressed, and asked his men if anything had happened. After learning that nothing happened, he went to the open space in the front yard of Wang's house with his hands behind his hands.
At this moment, the main characters of the Wang family are all controlled here. Apart from defecating and peeing, they eat, drink and sleep here.
Naturally, there is no comfortable bed here. These Wang family members no longer look as wealthy as usual. They all look messy and have disheveled hair.
Shen Yi walked up to Wang Chengwang, the head of the Wang family, looked at the old man who had his eyes closed and said softly, "Mr. Wang, if you admit your crime now, I can make the decision to leave a legacy for your Wang family. If you still bite me to death, If you don’t admit it, then the men here today…”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to escape."
Mr. Shen said calmly: "Nvjuan, I want to be admitted to the Jiaofang Division."
Wang Chengwang opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and said to Shen Yi: "If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother! The two imperial envoys have been searching our Wang family for two days, but have they ever found any evidence of our Wang family's collusion with Japanese pirates!"
Shen Yi shook his head: "No."
"If so, I wouldn't still be detaining you here."
Mr. Wang laughed angrily and trembled with anger: "If the imperial court is interested in my Wang family's property, as long as the two imperial envoys say a word, Wang will naturally offer it with both hands. There will be no hesitation. But we must make Wang recognize the so-called common property." It is absolutely impossible for Wang to renounce his ancestors because of the sins of the Japanese!"
"It's nothing more than death. The imperial envoy will kill Wang now!"
Shen Yi smiled, stood up, looked at the dozens of Wang family members present, and said: "Anyone who is willing to take the initiative to confess and report, as a witness, I will make the decision..."
Before he could say the word "his crime", there was suddenly a distant "rumbling" sound!
Shen Yi's expression suddenly changed and he suddenly looked in the direction of the city gate. He turned back to look at Wang Chengwang with an ugly expression on his face: "You actually have artillery!"
Mr. Wang opened his eyes, but still refused to let go: "What about us, the imperial envoy, please don't slander anyone!"
Shen Yi had a sullen face and said in a cold voice: "Lock these people into various rooms and wait until they are punished!"
After hearing Shen Yi's words, a group of royal guards and local government officials immediately stepped forward and escorted the Wang family away. At this moment, two loud noises were heard at the back door and the front door of the Wang family at the same time!
It's the sound of gunpowder exploding!
Mr. Shen took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
He understood that the Wang family also had manpower in Linhai County!
And there is gunpowder!
Mr. Shen looked at Wang Chengwang coldly, then drew out the long knife of the guard beside him and strode towards Wang Chengwang.
"Everyone listen to my instructions and guard all the doors of the Wang family. If you encounter thieves, shoot them without mercy!"
