"Master Hou, these are the crimes committed by the Fan family and his son over the years that have been collected by my subordinates. There are twenty-three crimes in total. Each one has witnesses and physical evidence!"
Towards evening, Magistrate He rode a horse and hurried to Yunshan and handed Li Zexuan a file.
After hearing this, Li Zexuan opened the file.
"In the fourth year of Wude, Fan Tong hoarded a large amount of grain and united with eight major grain merchants to drive up prices in counties outside the capital. Although the court later stepped in to stabilize grain prices, the Fan family still made tens of millions of profits! At that time, Lantian County Magistrate Sha Hanyang only captured Fan Tong succeeded in killing some grain merchants who were driving up grain prices, and Fan Tong made a fortune and survived;
In the fifth year of Wude, the Fan family colluded with the magistrate and county magistrate of Lantian County and embezzled shops and restaurants in the city. They opened shops and gambling houses, inducing people to gamble. Later, many people sold their land to pay off gambling debts, and the Fan family gained a lot of money. a large amount of land;
In December of the fifth year of Takeori, because Bai Lang, a householder in Baixing Village, could not pay the rent, Fan Tong saw Bai Lang's daughter was beautiful, so he took an evil slave and forced Bai Lang to sell his daughter Bai Xiaodie to him to pay the rent. Bai Lang When he refused to bite, Fan Tong ordered someone to hold his palm by force and put his fingerprint on the deed of betrayal. Later, in order to please the magistrate of Sha County, Fan Tong specially offered Bai Xiaodie as a sacrifice. Bai Xiaodie couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by throwing herself into a well the following year;
In July of the sixth year of Takeori, Bai Lang and the villagers of Baixing Village exposed Bai Xiaodie's case, but were suppressed by the Sha County magistrate. Later, Fan Tong invited a group of Jianghu people to loot the village. Bai Lang and the villagers who exposed Fan Tong were all He was killed. The case shocked the government and the public at the time!
In September of the sixth year of Takeori, the magistrate of Sha County was worried about the court's thorough investigation of Bai Xiaodie's case, so he sent a letter to the official department in advance, resigned and returned to his hometown. The magistrate of Lantian County also resigned and went into seclusion, and the Bai Xiaodie case ended without any problems.
In the seventh year of Wude, a new county magistrate took office. Fan Tong began to restrain himself, but he still relied on his family's large business to bully farmers and embezzled thousands of acres of land. According to investigations, there were 12 farmers in that year who could not afford to pay. Renting and selling sons and daughters;
………………
In the first year of Zhenguan, the number of Fan family gambling houses expanded to four. Many people became addicted to gambling and lost their entire fortune. At the same time, in order to suppress businessmen from other places, the Fan family hired local gangsters to cause trouble, poisoned people, blackmailed and other means one after another. As a result, the Fan family's restaurants and shops were the only one in Lantian County!
In addition, Fan Jianqiang has relied on the power of the Fan family to run rampant in the countryside over the years, oppressing farmers, and forcibly taking the daughters of eight farmers as concubines. However, to this day, only four girls are still alive, and the rest The Fan family lied that they died of illness, but according to reports from the Fan family's servants, all four women died because they could not bear the humiliation of the Fan family father and son! "
"boom!"
The long file contained more than a hundred lines of writing, but every word seemed to be soaked in blood!
Although the primitive accumulation of capital is generally evil, the crimes committed by the Fan family over the years are absolutely too numerous to list! After Li Zexuan finished reading, he couldn't help but slap the table angrily and said:
"In our little Lantian, there are such bullies running rampant. The Fan family's crimes are no less than those of the Cui family last year. If the Fan family father and son are not brought to justice, I will be the lord of Lantian in vain!"
Magistrate He looked ashamed.
If you don't delve into some things, you will never know how deep the water behind them is. At first, County Magistrate He didn't take the Fan family's affairs too seriously. He thought that although the Fan family and his son were a bit of a jerk, they did not pay much attention to Lantian County's "financial affairs" every year. "Income" contribution is also quite large, and the merits and demerits are balanced, so he turns a blind eye.
But after collecting all the evil deeds done by the Fan family over the years, it was a bit shocking. It was precisely because of this that he felt deeply ashamed of his inaction for more than a year!
"Master Hou, as far as I know, there have been a lot of rumors in the county in the past two days, all about the Fan family and his son. The businessmen are privately worried that you will attack them too!"
Magistrate He was silent for a moment and said cautiously.
"Rumors? Humph, if you don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, those who spread rumors are probably not clean! After cleaning up the Fan family and his son, Magistrate He, you will check on each of our families. If there are any problems, just give them to them." I will arrest one family, and if there is a problem between the two families, I will arrest a pair! If all the merchants in the city have problems, then I will arrest them all! These people are the scum among the merchants, and the reputation of the merchants has been ruined by them!"
Since ancient times, the social class division of farmers, industry and commerce has been related not only to social background factors, but also to the unscrupulous behavior of some businessmen for profit. The upper class has always had a bad impression of businessmen, and it is not without reason. Li Zexuan comes from modern times. He will not discriminate against businessmen. On the contrary, he admires responsible businessmen like Father Ma. However, he must resolutely eliminate the scum among businessmen like Fan Tong.
Magistrate He opened his mouth in surprise and said: "Master Hou... this... this is absolutely impossible!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said resolutely: "Why not? Even if all the merchants in Lantian County are gone, I can still recruit a group of merchants! Business will be the main sign of Lantian County in the future, and we must give outsiders a good reputation. , If you want to have a good image, you have to get rid of all the scum!"
Li Zexuan's plan for Lantian County is a big commercial city, and integrity is the foundation of business!
"This... well, since Lord Marquis has already made plans, I won't say much more!"
Magistrate He was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
"At three o'clock the day after tomorrow, a public trial of the Fan family and his son will be held at the county government office. The county government office is ready. Witnesses and physical evidence are ready. This time I will completely destroy the Fan family!"
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and said coldly.
Magistrate He clasped his fists and responded: "I obey my orders!"
………………………
After Magistrate He left, Li Zexuan thought for a while, then went out and headed towards the new workshop.
When he arrived at the workshop, he went straight to Ma Zhou's "office" and handed the latter a file.
"Mr. Ma, it seems your editorial department will be working overtime tonight!"
Li Zexuan said half-jokingly.
Ma Zhou smiled and opened the file suspiciously, his smile immediately frozen on his face.
"Master Hou, do you want Ma to publish this content in tomorrow's Datang Daily?"
Ma Zhou frowned and asked with an ugly expression.
Li Zexuan nodded and said in a cold voice: "Yes! That's right! The content above must appear in tomorrow's newspaper, because the show will begin the day after tomorrow!"
Ma Zhou understood immediately and responded: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, there is no problem with the editorial department!"
He has always hated evil. If he could eliminate harm for the people, let alone "work overtime", he would be willing to go to battle in person to wave the flag and shout!
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Ma!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands, said goodbye and left.
