After Du Fei finished his report, Su Yonglin stopped talking.
After a while, he suddenly laughed coldly. The laughter was as if it was pulled from an old bellows, and it was so penetrating.
"Two beauties, two beauties took down my branch director, two beauties made him turn a blind eye to all this, hehehe..."
The laughter made Du Fei feel a little cold and gave him goosebumps.
Su Yonglin was silent for a while, then reached out and tapped the table.
"Where is Xu Mingwei now?"
"In order not to arouse the vigilance of Chen Luo and Qiu Dao, we put Xu Mingwei back and let him continue to confuse these people. Now Xu Mingwei is under our close surveillance and is still the magistrate of Shouzhang County and is still handling daily government affairs. Just wait With His Majesty's order, we can capture it immediately."
Su Yonglin nodded.
After a while, he stopped tapping on the table, sent someone to call Chai Yang over, and began assigning tasks to Chai Yang for the people on the list.
Divide his troops into small units, take the emperor's orders, and travel to the destination at night to arrest all the target persons.
Capture all those bastard criminals from Jinan Prefecture, Zizhou Prefecture, Dizhou Prefecture, Binzhou Prefecture, and Yidu Prefecture, try them on the spot, and conduct precise blasts on the local criminal network.
The first wave dealt with the prisoners in the state capitals along the Yellow River Project, and the second wave went on to deal with the officials and wealthy landlords and businessmen in the south who cooperated with them in laundering the stolen money.
The entire action plan is divided into two steps.
The main person responsible for carrying out the task is the army of the First Division of the enemy under Chai Yang, and Du Fei's task is to send spies who are familiar with the roads to assist Chai Yang and lead the army so that the army can achieve precise strikes.
Su Yonglin himself took the personal guards to Shouzhang County first and then to Xucheng County.
On April 11, Su Yonglin went to Shouzhang County with the assistance of the transport fleet of Liu Qing, a subordinate of the 11th Action Group, and met Xu Mingwei, the magistrate of Shouzhang County, in the county government office.
Xu Mingwei is about thirty years old, with a fair complexion. At first glance, he looks like a Confucian scholar who has not suffered much. It is no wonder that he cannot withstand the torture of the 11th Action Team.
When Su Yonglin met Xu Mingwei, Xu Mingwei was still working as the magistrate of Shouzhang County, but it was obvious that he was no longer capable of this job.
"The guilty minister, Xu Mingwei, comes to see Your Majesty!"
Xu Mingwei knelt in front of Su Yonglin limply.
Su Yonglin gave him a disgusted look.
"Get up and talk."
"Here."
Xu Mingwei swayed and stood up, shivering and feeling weak.
"How many years have you been the magistrate of Shouzhang County?"
Su Yonglin picked up the tea bowl at hand, opened the lid, and blew in the hot air.
"Your Majesty, it's been two years."
"In other words, it has been done since the first year of Hongwu?"
"yes."
"How many times have you broken the law?"
"Your Majesty, I am guilty...I am guilty only this time! I have never broken any other laws!"
Xu Mingwei quickly defended himself: "The guilty subject really had no greed at all before this. In fact, this time Chen Luo was too arrogant, and the guilty subject was forced to have no choice, and that's why... he joined the conspiracy."
"Forced into helplessness?"
Su Yonglin took a sip of hot tea and said slowly: "I heard that when Chen Luo asked you to take the money, only the mayor of Guanshan Town didn't take it, and everyone else took it."
"The guilty minister... The guilty minister really doesn't dare to offend Chen Luo, and he also wants to advance further in the officialdom, and he doesn't dare to offend Chen Luo. He...he is simply covering up His Majesty with one hand!"
Xu Mingwei cried as he spoke, looking sincere in his words. If he hadn't known that this guy was trying to blame others, Su Yonglin would have almost believed it.
"Xu Mingwei, I have a question for you."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty."
"Is it Chen Luo or the imperial staff who can get you promoted?"
Su Yonglin put down the tea bowl and stared at Xu Mingwei.
Xu Mingwei swallowed with difficulty and said with difficulty: "It is indeed the official department, but Your Majesty, it is difficult to survive alone in the officialdom. If you have no friends, no help, and no one can help you when something happens, it is impossible to last long. As long as you think about it, To go further, there is no way you can’t make friends.
The mayor of Guanshan is over sixty years old and has no further ideas, so he can be fearless and don't want it if he doesn't want it. He is still thirty and has the desire to further develop his ambitions. He really doesn't dare to offend Chen here. Luo, I hope your Majesty will learn from this! ! "
Xu Mingwei knelt down, as if he intended to use such sincere words to ask for leniency from Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin nodded.
"Well, you are willing to break the law and commit crimes for the so-called desire to develop your ambitions. It shows that your wish is not a serious wish, and you are not a serious person. You talk about benevolence and morality, but your heart is full of dirty calculations."
Seeing that Su Yonglin had seen through his true nature, Xu Mingwei was horrified. He quickly knelt on the ground and trembled, not daring to say anything more.
Su Yonglin was very disgusted with him and very unhappy, but since he was still useful, Su Yonglin gave him a chance.
"Sign the confession, sign it, and I will not exile your family, let your family work locally, and return the public funds."
Xu Mingwei heard a month ago that the emperor had set off a wave of anti-corruption in Zhongdu. Officials who broke the law were dealt with very harshly. Not only did he have to be severely punished, most of them died, and his family members were also exiled and had to work in difficult jobs designated by the state. Used to make money to repay the national money embezzled by officials.
Amnesty is useless, and tolerance is useless. Before the public funds are repaid, unless the whole family dies, it will have to be paid back from generation to generation.
This is worse than three generations of people who were not allowed to take the imperial examinations and engage in public office tasks.
Three generations of imprisonment will mean that everyone will get married and have children early. If we go through the process of these three generations in forty to fifty years, the family can still prosper.
But this family is very ruthless in that they all work hard to pay back the debt until it is paid off.
Sixty percent of your monthly income has to be repaid, and studying requires you to leave your job, and you need a rich family to leave your job. Without a rich family, you cannot afford to support a retired scholar, you will not be able to participate in the imperial examination, and you will not be able to compete in other fields. student.
If you can't compete with other scholars, you can't become an official. If you can't become an official, you can't change the family's situation. Under such a system, the family has almost no possibility of turning around.
It's either death, or it's going to take generations of hard work to pay back the money, and then there's the possibility of turning around.
This is really terrible.
In this era where family inheritance is valued, Su Yonglin's rule obviously hit everyone's nerves. That's why they were so panicked when they learned that Su Yonglin went south to check the accounts.
No one wants to let their family suffer such horrific treatment, it is really better to die.
And this panic was caught by the tail of the fox by the 11th Action Team.
Xu Mingwei was horrified when he was approached by the 11th Operation Team. After being interrogated, he was devastated. When he learned that he still had the opportunity to be a tainted witness, he rekindled the fire of hope.
Without hesitation, he forgot everyone's agreement and directly vomited out everything he knew, allowing the action team to quickly target the corruption group in Dongping Mansion.
So Su Yonglin gave him a special "preferential treatment".
Instead of being exiled, his family worked locally in state-appointed jobs.
Compared to the families of prisoners who had to be exiled to remote areas to do hard work, his family was undoubtedly lucky.
Although he could not be exempted from his guilt, at least he did not have to leave the local area, so Xu Mingwei had no choice.
He knew that there was a high probability that he would not survive, but he was still satisfied that he could finally help his family.
So he honestly signed and pledged his name, willing to risk his life to guarantee that everything he said was true, and the secret accounts he handed over on his own initiative were also submitted to the 11th Action Team and handed over to Su Yonglin, who turned out to be the complete corruption case of Dongping Mansion. of revealed.
The amount of the crime that directly belonged to Xu Mingwei was 6 million yuan. The income from the house raid was not enough, and the remaining part needed to be repaid through the labor of his family.
Xu Mingwei himself cannot survive, but his family does not have to be exiled to remote areas, which undoubtedly increases the survival rate.
Finally, Su Yonglin asked Xu Mingwei a question.
"Have you ever thought that you would end up like this one day?"
