There are many people who think the same as Ning Yiwen.
The heads of the besieged aristocratic families are all speculating and thinking about solutions.
It's just that everything happened too suddenly. They had no brains and their freedom was restricted. No matter how much they thought, it was useless.
Ning Yiwen went to find Lanxing in person, but saw no one for two days in a row.
This situation forced him to think more.
He thought carefully about the people in Ningcheng and couldn't find anyone who could find out the news.
The people in the garrison were very strict, and no matter how much they inquired, they would not say a word.
Tie Mingqi went out of the city to fight against the enemy again, completely staying out of the incident.
The people at the arbitral tribunal were just as kept in the dark as he was.
After much thought, Ning Yiwen sent people to Ancheng, Yuncheng and Pingcheng to inquire about the situation.
After three days of this, Blue Star took the arbitration court order and appointed fifteen members of the special investigation team. He served as the team leader to strictly investigate the family's illegal activities.
The team members come from various departments, with the majority from the courts and the Supervisory Yuan. There are several young faces who look like rising stars at first glance.
These people have been specially investigated in secret, and they are bound to reverse the trend of Ningcheng with thunderous momentum.
Lin Yan was ruthless this time. Since he was going to take action, let everyone remember and don't treat the alliance's laws as a decoration and violate them in disguise. She will never allow such a trend to exist.
From the day the alliance was enacted, governance according to law has been fundamental and no one can be above it.
On this day, when Lan Xing showed up with someone and entered the Song family in the west of the city, he immediately attracted the attention of all the people, both bright and secret.
As soon as you enter the gate, you will face the servants of the Song family.
Lan Xing looked serious and said in a cold voice: "You volunteered to be servants and no one cares about you, but if you dare to go against the alliance official, have you thought about the consequences? I would like to remind you that today is different from the past. The Song family is under siege and you resist. It is illegal and the alliance will punish it in accordance with the law."
A row of servants were holding swords, and some were struggling and hesitating.
Blue Star continued: "We are all citizens of the alliance, everyone is equal, we are just here to make money, there is no need to involve ourselves."
A servant hesitated: "Is it too late for me to quit now?"
After being besieged for three days, the servants felt uneasy and couldn't find a solution. The Song family kept urging them and they were in a dilemma.
As soon as the words came out, someone behind him said sternly: "Whoever dares, you are all members of the Song family, and those who dare to betray will not be treated lightly."
Lan Xing squinted and followed the voice, "Song Fu, the housekeeper of the Song family, is worthy of being a dog raised by the Song family. He is loyal and loyal. You haven't recognized the situation at this moment, but I don't mind letting you recognize the reality."
Song Fu was not afraid at all, "This is the Song family. It's wrong for you to break in privately. It's even more audacious to besiege us for no reason. I want to see the city lord and ask him to bring justice to us."
"Hey, Song Fu, you are contemptuous of the alliance. So what if the city lord is here? Open your eyes wide and see what this is?"
Lan Xing took out the signing order, and the bodyguard beside him took it and read it loudly: "Chairman's order, set up a Ningcheng special investigation team, appoint Lan Xing, Gu Lang and others to investigate matters in Ningcheng, and give them the power to act expeditiously. Representatives The chairman will severely punish all illegal crimes."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that Blue Star's backstage was so big. Everyone knew the significance of the Chairman's Order.
In the past, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. The Song family was arrogant, but that didn't mean they didn't know anything.
No wonder Blue Star dared to send troops to besiege them directly, he had the confidence to do so.
Blue Star's personal guard looked at Song Fu and asked loudly: "The alliance chairman's order means that whoever dares to question the power exercised on behalf of the chairman. If you ask again for the last time, if you don't put down your weapons and surrender, you will be punished for murdering a soldier."
Some hesitated and some struggled. Song Fu knew that the confrontation would not last long. There were soldiers outside and they could rush in at any time.
But he couldn't surrender just like that. He gritted his teeth and said, "So what if there is an order from the chairman. The Song family abides by the law. You have wronged good people and still not let people resist. How can there be such a reason?"
Blue Star's patience ran out, "Stop talking nonsense, delaying time is useless, I will count to three, if you don't put down your weapon and get out of the way, you will be punished with murder."
The conflict was about to break out. At this critical moment, Mr. Song, the head of the Song family, was helped to arrive. He was panting, but he still insisted: "Commander Lan, please forgive me for not understanding the rules. They are just hired by the Song family. We are just following the instructions of our master and earning money to support our family. We, the Song family, have absolutely no other ideas and are law-abiding citizens. We will definitely cooperate with you if you want to investigate."
Lan Xing stared at Mr. Song and sneered in his heart. He was getting better with age, but it didn't show on his face at all. "Mr. Song is so kind. We all act in accordance with the law. If we finish the investigation as soon as possible, we can all feel at ease."
"Captain Lan is right, please." Mr. Song took the initiative to give in, and Song Fu and others naturally did not dare to disobey.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Mr. Song said: "There are many female relatives at home, which will disturb the army commander. I asked them to stay away from the side courtyard for the time being. If the army commander needs our cooperation, just give him the order."
Lan Xing said without changing his expression: "Mr. Song is wrong to say this. All members of the Song family, regardless of gender, old or young, will be investigated. Please also ask the head of the Song family to call everyone here, and we will question them one by one."
The Song family in the west of the city, a large family, has been in Ningcheng for hundreds of years, with a population of no less than a hundred people, not counting the women who serve as maids.
These women were registered as maids and were not counted as members of the Song family, but they were actually the playthings of the men in the Song family. Some had children and some were alone.
In the past, Ningcheng lacked management, women's status was low, and there was no clear marriage management system. As long as a man was rich, no one would care about how many women he wanted.
It is perfectly normal for a man to have multiple wives.
These wives are all women from aristocratic families with certain family backgrounds, and they marry each other in exchange for benefits. As for those women without backgrounds, they are men's playthings and can be thrown away as they please, without any status at all.
Ningcheng merged into the alliance and the population was re-registered. These women had their own ID cards, but they could not escape the control of the aristocratic family. Some women were even concealed and became shady households.
At this moment, everyone's ID cards were checked and compared with the files kept by the official agency. A cursory check revealed that sixteen women were shady.
Mr. Song seemed calm, but in fact he was already panicking. He never thought that the first thing he would check would be his ID card. After such a comparison, he immediately found out the problem.
He said: "Captain Lan, this is our negligence. We will issue new ID cards for them immediately."
Blue Star was noncommittal and asked people to continue investigating.
This is just the first step. These aristocratic families rely on their status to hide the truth and ignore the law. This is not just a day or two. There are too many illegal things.
Now that we are here, we must investigate thoroughly.
The investigation team will start from all aspects and will not let go of any illegal behavior, so that these aristocratic families will not be able to escape legal sanctions.
No matter how much the Song family tried to quibble, they all turned pale when faced with solid evidence.
They finally realized that the alliance was really ruthless and wanted to punish them. Insignificant and trivial matters in the past were used as evidence in court and became the overwhelming evidence of the Song family.
In two days, the Song family's criminal evidence was found and listed on several pages. Except for children under the age of five, no one could escape.
The evidence was conclusive, the punishment was pronounced immediately, and the investigation team's actions were astonishing.
With the collapse of the Song family, no one in Ningcheng came back to their senses. I never expected that the once glorious family would collapse in just a few days.
The moment Ning Yiwen learned the result, he felt like a bolt from the blue.
Speaking of aristocratic families, the Ning family is the largest family in Ningcheng. It has been passed down for generations and is much larger than the Song family.
But fortunately, the Ning family has been separated for a long time, and the whole family is no longer together.
This time, the siege skipped the Ning family. While he was relieved, he was also secretly vigilant as to why he was suddenly surrounded.
As the city lord, he set an example and obeyed the laws of the alliance. In addition, the Ning family's traditional family tradition was different from other aristocratic families, allowing the Ning family to escape disaster.
In fact, the Ning family is not without problems, but during Lin Yan's investigation, he found that only a few people in the Ning family committed crimes and did not have the bad habit of raising maids, so they were not included on the list.
This time, the focus of the attack is on those families who keep maids.
These big families would never have thought that the trigger for their investigation would be like this.
The Song family collapsed, and the charges were clearly listed. The investigation team reminded at the end of the announcement that if anyone is guilty of the same crime, please correct it in time. Once found out, the punishment will be similar.
Then every day, families collapsed, and those who committed crimes were punished. The announcements were clearly written, so those who were watching had to check themselves.
No one wants to follow in the footsteps of these people and have their good family fortune ruined.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and the effect will be immediate.
Over the past month, the atmosphere in Ningcheng has changed. People who used to beat, scold, and look down on women began to restrain themselves unconsciously.
Who makes every announcement list the crimes, and always write bullying of women at the top? It is so obvious that it is difficult for people to ignore it.
During this period, it was not that no one resisted, but they were all suppressed with iron blood by the Fourth Army and could not make a big splash.
Lin Yan observed secretly and was very satisfied with the effect of this operation.
As expected, ruthless measures are needed to reverse the trend. If the knife didn't cut into the flesh, no one would take it seriously. If you want to make people remember, you need to use thunderous means.
After this renovation, most of Ningcheng's aristocratic families collapsed, and the remaining few were trembling, and no one dared to complain.
They couldn't bear the alliance's methods.
No one would have thought that this vigorous event only started because a cowardly woman was bullied.
After the incident was over, the members of the investigation team had made great contributions. Lin Yan had already written to the Human Resources Department, and they had all been transferred to key positions, which made the entire official organization in Ningcheng awe-inspiring.
Ning Yiwen was not able to participate, but as the city lord, it would be too slow for him not to notice this investigation and major blood exchange.
But he did nothing and pretended to know nothing.
This attitude confused many people, but it was what Lin Yan wanted to see.
If Ning Cheng wants to change his blood, he needs the support of Ning Yiwen, the city lord.
When the collapse of the Ningcheng family became a sensation, it attracted everyone's attention. Feng Yanfei led the people from the Special Security Bureau to find more clues about Hades.
Pull out the five little ghosts and one big ghost that Hades placed in Ningcheng.
The arrest of the big ghost has accelerated the progress of tracing Hades.
Feng Yanfei reported the progress to Lin Yan, which gave her a little more confidence.
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, what clues did the big ghost provide? Have you found Hades' undercover agents in other cities?"
Feng Yanfei's smile froze slightly, "This big ghost is called Fan Quanming. He is the person in charge sent to Ningcheng by the Hades. He also takes care of the intelligence of the four cities. According to Fan Quanming, the existence of the Hades cannot be traced back to the world, and there are distinct levels within it, above the big ghosts. There is also the Ghost King. Hades has long been paying attention to the alliance and secretly sent people to collect intelligence, but did not issue any instructions. He was completely unaware of Anjo’s assassination."
"He is the general person in charge of the four cities. According to him, he is the only big devil in the four cities. Song Zhan didn't ask for permission before taking action?"
Feng Yanfei thought the same way, "So, Fan Quanming may be lying, or someone else is hiding in the dark. According to my repeated interrogations, it is unlikely that Fan Quanming is lying. He is only responsible for collecting intelligence. I speculate that he secretly planned the operation. There was someone else. But Fan Quanming didn’t know anything about it.”
Lin Yan nodded, "It makes sense. A brat like Song Zhan will only act after receiving instructions. If it's not Fan Quanming, it's someone else. But, we still have this big fish. Have you found out who Hades is? What kind of organization? Where is it hiding?"
Feng Yanfei shook her head, "The underworld is very careful, and these little ghosts and big ghosts know only a limited amount. But judging from what they do, it is more like an intelligence organization, secretly collecting and inquiring about information. Who dares to do this, which force should it be? Or it may be a force hiding in the dark with unknown purposes.”
"Could they be selling information?" Lin Yan shook his head as soon as he finished speaking, "No, if he was just selling information, he would not actively plan assassinations and bombings. From this point of view, Hades' hostility towards the alliance is obvious. Have you asked the cities City Lord, do you have any information about Hades?"
"None of them. The city lords of the four cities have never heard of it. This is what I don't understand. Either Hades has hidden too deeply in the four cities these years, or Hades did not place personnel in the four cities, but came to the alliance. Finally, it attracted the attention of Hades.”
Feng Yanfei suddenly paused and said suddenly: "Although most people in the underworld have been trained since childhood, their life trajectories are the same as ordinary people. There has been no trouble in these years. Song Zhan suddenly received instructions to act, and he had done nothing before. Yes. Fan Quanming has been in Ningcheng for more than ten years and has been responsible for intelligence collection. So, who is secretly training people? "
She said to herself, "There is another person hiding in the dark who is responsible for training people for Hades. It seems that the people in Hades don't know each other and they all perform their duties."
Lin Yan said: "You are right. Give me a copy of everyone's interrogation records and I will sort them out."
Ningcheng's renovation came to an end, and she had some free time to help investigate the underworld.
She believed that as long as it was done, there would be traces. She had already found the clues, and if she followed them, it would be a matter of time before she found the underworld.
Feng Yanfei acted quickly and organized all the interrogation records that day and sent them to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan wanted to hide his identity and act secretly, so he lived in Dong Daying. Feng Yanfei acted openly, and the two cooperated with each other. In just three days, they found the hidden clues.
