All in all, in this corruption case, people from most of the Shandong prefectures were involved.
Either official figures, or private landowners, gentry, and wealthy businessmen.
The entire Shandong officialdom is a circle, a network of interpersonal relationships, a network of interpersonal relationships that has not been destroyed even after the war.
It is true to say that this interpersonal network is based on the exchanges between people. Now is not the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty when counties were the country. There are relatively close exchanges of interests between every state and every prefecture.
Of course, when there are interests, there are also relationships. As long as the person is alive and the family is still there, the relationship will be continuous and chaotic.
The war with the Kingdom of Jin could not completely eradicate all the families like the revolution. Some families were indeed wiped out in the war, and some families not only were not destroyed, but also absorbed some of the remaining forces of the destroyed families during the war. , becoming stronger and more powerful.
Through the war, instead of weakening, they became stronger and more influential.
As a result, the human relationship network has become closer and more actionable.
This made Su Yonglin very unhappy and unhappy.
Su Yonglin read the specific report of the 11th Action Group, thought calmly for a while, and then signed an order, ordering Henan Corps Commander Zhang Yuejing to dispatch at least one division of mobile troops to Fan County, Daming Prefecture, and prepare in Fan County to follow him Act together.
He needs an army of ten thousand people to obey his orders and eradicate all corrupt officials and their white gloves for him.
Zhang Yuejing was a little surprised by this.
"Your Majesty, those insects don't need to send out an army at all, right? Wouldn't that be killing a chicken with a sledgehammer?"
"I just want to catch them all quickly and accurately, and uncover all the corruption networks in Shandong as quickly as possible. If we want to execute this order, we must have the army, and the garrison personnel in many places have not yet been deployed. We can only rely on Yamen servants, do you think they are reliable?"
Su Yonglin shook his head: "To deal with the landlords and gentry, of course we can mobilize the common people to deal with them, but to deal with these cunning and corrupt officials, it is better to use the army faster and more accurately."
Zhang Yuejing understood and didn't say anything more. He nodded and accepted Su Yonglin's order.
Soon, he mobilized the troops of the First Division from Chen Qiaoshan's enemy-defeating army, led by division commander Chai Yang, and secretly went to Fan County to station, preparing to obey Su Yonglin's direct dispatch.
Su Yonglin asked Chai Yang to lead the first division of the enemy's army to do pre-war mobilization work.
Chai Yang didn't know what to do and was a little surprised. He thought he was going to fight.
But Su Yonglin told him that was not the case.
"That group of corrupt officials don't dare to resist me, and they will most likely be punished. However, those group of landlords, gentry, and wealthy businessmen all have private guards and may resist me. Moreover, they are spread too widely. If they get the news in advance, , it is very likely that he will successfully escape and become a hidden danger, so it is better to directly dispatch the army to arrest him. If he resists, he will be executed."
Chai Yang immediately understood what he was going to do.
So he looked excited.
"It's finally time to punish these superior people! Your Majesty, leave this task to the general! The general will definitely complete the task assigned by your majesty! This group of superior people will definitely die without a burial place. !”
Chai Yang was born into a tenant farmer, and his parents were beaten to death by the landlord. After receiving education from the Renaissance Society, he no longer only hated the landlord who beat his parents to death, but he also hated the entire landlord class.
Now, finally, is the time to vent their anger on behalf of all tenant farmers.
Su Yonglin patted Chai Yang on the shoulder and expressed his expectations for him, saying that since he had to do something, he would do it to the end without giving them a chance to breathe.
In order to catch them off guard, on April 11th, Su Yonglin released smoke bombs, left the emperor's carriage in Kaifeng, and asked Tian Guizi to cover him. He himself led the cavalry all the way at starry night and arrived in a short time. He moved to Fan County, Daming Prefecture.
Fan County in Daming Prefecture is also Fuxing County. Su Yonglin met here with Du Fei, the leader of the Eleventh Action Team who made great achievements this time.
Du Fei handed over the evidence he currently had to Su Yonglin and gave Su Yonglin the currently known list of people who needed to be eradicated, letting Su Yonglin know the general situation in Shandong.
"Your Majesty, this is not everything. It is just what we know so far. There may be more. This requires us to catch the higher-ranking criminals and pry open their mouths. Only then can we know whether any fish have slipped through the net."
Looking at the long list, Su Yonglin sighed slightly.
What made him even more frustrated was that there were not many revival members among them.
"Ideals vary from person to person. They may be fragile or very tough. Some people will die for their ideals. Some people just regard their ideals as fashion trends. Now it seems that the Renaissance members on this list are all fashion trendsetters. .”
After sighing for a while, Su Yonglin asked: "Where did you get this list?"
"A small businessman named Luo Zhicai was discovered by our spies to have a relationship with these prisoners, so we secretly arrested him. Under coercion and inducement, he confessed what he knew, and then we secretly arrested him. Xu Mingwei, the magistrate of Shouzhang County, gave the account."
“Magistrate Shouzhang…isn’t he a member of the Renaissance?”
"No, he was a local gentry in Shandong. He was promoted to the magistrate of Shouzhang County after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He was an official of Shouzhang County in the Jin Kingdom."
Du Fei said; "On His Majesty's order, I secretly arrested him, showed him evidence of embezzlement of public funds, and told him the punishment he and his family were about to suffer. He was very scared.
Then I told him that if he wanted to reduce his sentence and save his family from further suffering, he must confess more accomplices. This would be considered meritorious service, and the family's punishment could be appropriately reduced when the crime is discussed later. "
"Well, you did a good job. He confessed?"
"He was so cowardly that he didn't even use torture. He burst into tears very quickly. He didn't resist much, so he confessed. He told everyone he knew. The leader of the Dongping Prefecture's case is Dongping Prefecture Yin Chen Luo."
Du Fei said slowly: "This Chen Luo is an old official. He was the magistrate of Shouzhang County during the Jin Dynasty. Because he surrendered voluntarily, helped the army transport grain and fodder to avoid death, and performed meritorious service, he was promoted to Dongping Prefecture Yin. I thought he was a capable official. Who knew this guy was so bad.
It is said that when he was preparing to embezzle public funds and make a fortune, he called all the old officials and officials from local gentry around him for a meeting, and gave each of them a sum of money. That money was the Yellow River public funds. He said that he would give money The reason is to let everyone enjoy it and live a good life.
The money had to be collected, and he also said that if he didn't collect it, he wouldn't be given Chen's face, and if he didn't give Chen Chen's face in Dongping Mansion, the end would definitely not be good, so it was best to collect it.
After being intimidated by him, most of the people accepted him. Only the mayor of Guanshan Town was unwilling to accept him. He said that he was too old and had no hope of promotion. He wanted nothing more. He just wanted a good reputation and a peaceful life, so he did not take it.
Chen Luo didn't say anything at the time and let him go back. As a result, he repeatedly sent people to harass the Guanshan Town official office, and even poured black dog blood and excrement into the official office while it was dark. The home of Guanshan Town Mayor was also harassed many times, and at night I couldn’t sleep well and was harassed during the day.
However, no matter how many people he sent to watch and guard, he could not find the culprit, and it was useless to send out official weapons. In the end, the officials in the official office avoided the mayor one after another and refused to interact with him. The mayor really couldn't stand it anymore. He took the initiative to resign and go home, no longer serving as an official. "
Su Yonglin was silent for a while.
"What about the local Renaissance Association? It is the Renaissance Association that manages the general affairs of the Yellow River. The Renaissance Association in Dongping Prefecture is not weak, right? They can't be completely unaware of this kind of thing, right?"
Du Fei sighed.
"Qiu Dao, the director of the Dongping Fu Fuxing Association branch in charge of Yellow River affairs, was the first to be attracted by him. Xu Mingwei confessed that he heard that Chen Luo was very enthusiastic about Qiu Dao. After dating him for a while, he gave him two beauties. Qiudao.
After Qiu Dao accepted the beautiful woman, he turned a blind eye to him from then on. Xu Mingwei also confessed that Chen Luo often said that there is no civet cat in the world who doesn't steal..."
