At the same time that Shen Gai and Zhou Linzhi broke up unhappily, Zhang Piao, the new censor of the Jiangnan Kingdom, and He Yan, the general counselor of the Ming Dynasty Office in Lin'an City, were at the official post station in the north of Lin'an City to greet the judicial officials of the Ming Dynasty who had just arrived in Lin'an.
This time, Su Yonglin sent a total of thirty professional judicial officials, as well as seventy professional legal practitioners from the Ming Dynasty. The team of one hundred people in total to deal with the Shu brocade smuggling case looked very impressive.
Zhang Piao was amazed when he saw it. He immediately felt that the success of many major anti-corruption cases in Ming Dynasty must have a lot to do with this capable professional team.
When Zhang Piao's subordinates saw this, they felt anxious.
They were thinking that this wave of people coming from the Ming Dynasty was evil, and they didn't know how many unlucky smugglers they planned to take away, and they didn't know how many people would end up because of this smuggling case.
Will many big bosses fall?
It is probably inevitable.
After all, the Ming Dynasty still has a total of 30,000 troops stationed not far north of Lin'an City. If the judicial team cannot do it, the garrison will definitely help. Once the army takes action, no matter how "supernatural" the monsters and snake gods in Lin'an City are, There is no way to escape this round of reckoning.
The army is the most powerful violent machine in the world. No matter who you are, as long as you bump into the army, you will always get no good results.
Force is the strongest force.
Of course, people who are not involved in the Shu Brocade smuggling are not worried about being implicated, but some people who have ulterior motives may not necessarily feel the same way.
They just felt that the Ming Dynasty judicial team who came to investigate this matter were like the god of plague demanding life.
How can I go on living like this?
Some people, knowing that they could not escape this round of trial, were shocked and began to secretly plan their own escape plans.
So, on the fourth day when the Ming Dynasty judicial team began to investigate the Shu brocade smuggling case in Lin'an City, it happened that Zheng Rulang, a doctor in the Lin'an Imperial Court's Internal Finance Department, led his family to escape, which aroused the conflict between the Ming Dynasty judicial team and Zhang Piao. Notice.
This family was really unlucky. They planned to escape by water to Guangzhou, and then to Nanyang or somewhere in the Champa Kingdom to hide. However, they happened to be caught by the Ming Dynasty's maritime patrol fleet and were escorted back. Lin'an was interrogated.
Zheng Rulang burst into tears and decisively told the Mingguo judicial team and Zhang Piao everything he knew, hoping that Zhang Piao and the Mingguo judicial team would not kill him and give him a way to survive.
Zhang Piao and others took this as a breakthrough point and launched a large-scale manhunt in Lin'an City.
Officials from the Ming Dynasty were constantly called away by Ming law officers to "assist in the investigation", and then never came back. Some of them had low-level positions, but some had high-level positions, such as Wang Liang, the Minister of Industry of the Lin'an court.
When he was interrogated by the Ming court officials, he pretended to be a minister, but the Ming court officials said they didn't care at all.
"No matter who you are, you have to come with us."
"I am the Minister of the Ministry of Industry! Does the Minister understand? Minister!"
Wang Liang roared loudly to declare his identity, but he was still forcibly taken away by the soldiers with wooden shackles and iron ropes, very professional.
Seeing Wang Liang being arrested, Wang Liang's son and servants at home tried to stop him, but they were all brought down by the elite officers and soldiers of the Ming army.
How could these servants be the opponents of the professionally trained pawns?
"Obstructing law enforcement and attacking law enforcement officers will be punished with an additional penalty. Take them all away!"
Ma Xing, the captain of the legal pawn squad who came to perform official duties, waved his hand and three-quarters of Wang Liang's family were taken away.
The incident of dozens of Ming court officials seizing the Minister of Industry from his residence for interrogation instantly ignited the public opinion field of the entire Lin'an court.
In the past, they were all small fish and shrimps, some small officials and petty officials. It didn't matter much. Maybe these bureaucrats still had the idea that they could not punish the officials or share the world with the scholar-officials. They felt that the small fish and shrimps were not scholar-officials. Only those of a certain rank and above were scholar-bureaucrats.
However, is the rank of Minister of the Ministry of Industry high enough?
They took it down anyway, without giving them any dignity. They just went up with wooden shackles and iron ropes. Three-quarters of the family were taken away and imprisoned directly in a certain prison in Lin'an City that they temporarily took over. The whole family of the Minister of Industry and Industry was locked inside, and they spoke with no shame, calling the sky and the earth into disrepair.
Bureaucrats began to panic.
Fortunately, those who had nothing to do with Shu brocade smuggling, but those who had not yet been found out, quickly formed a coalition. They wanted to join forces to discuss the matter with Shen Gai, and then rushed into the palace to find Shen Gai to discuss the matter. Shen Gai's family asked for explanation.
How could the Ming Dynasty's legal soldiers enforce the law in Lin'an City?
Also arrested all the ministers of the Ministry of Industry?
Doesn't that mean that anyone, including himself, Shen should be arrested?
What does it mean to be lenient?
The lawmen of the Ming Dynasty were running rampant and tyrannical in Lin'an City. In this way, would Jiangnan Kingdom still be a country?
Shen Gai knew in his heart that these anxious and pale-faced guys were basically involved in the Shu brocade smuggling case. He was afraid of being caught but didn't dare to run away. Now he could only try hard on himself. He felt very disdainful and felt that these were He was asking for trouble, but at the same time, he also felt that the Ming law pawn was a bit too much.
He took down the Minister of Industry without saying a word. Do you really think that you are a superior and they are all subordinates?
When you beat a dog, you still have to look at the owner. If you do this now, do you mean that you don't take Shen seriously at all? If this continues, who will have the final say in Lin'an City in the future? Who is in charge of Jiangnan Kingdom?
And if this continues, how many people will it take to stop? Are you going to make me a polished commander?
Although Shen Gai didn't intend to say anything for these bureaucrats who were asking for trouble, he still felt that it was not a problem to continue like this. Not to mention his authority, how many officials had been taken down, and the administrative work of Jiangnan Kingdom was still Do you want to do it?
So Shen Gai decided to discuss this matter with Zhang Piao and Jiang Chengyue, the head of the Ming Dynasty's judicial team and the minister of Dali Temple in the Ming Dynasty.
He came over with a smile and a pot of good wine. He mainly invited Jiang Chengyue to dinner, and then Zhang Piao stayed with him, drank a little wine, and wanted to find out what Ming Guo wanted to do. degree.
If this matter really needs to be investigated thoroughly, Shen should think that at least a quarter, or even a third, of Lin'an City's bureaucrats will be captured.
He Shen should know best the moral character of the officials in Lin'an City.
He personally poured wine for Jiang Chengyue, and asked with a smile how long Jiang Chengyue planned to stay in Lin'an, and whether there was anything she wanted to do next, eat or drink. He can also arrange all the Jiangnan specialties, just mention it.
Jiang Chengyue has been the Minister of Dali Temple for several years. He is also one of the well-known "Three Generals of the Palace of Hell in Zhongdu". He is as famous as Kong Maojie and Shen Ge. He gained great fame during the great purges in the third and fourth years of Hongwu. He is deeply relied on by Su Yonglin.
He has interrogated too many corrupt officials and has a very deep understanding of bureaucracy. Basically, when Shen should smile and the wrinkles on his face open, he would know what Shen should mean.
"Mr. Shen doesn't need to be so tactful. If you want to issue an eviction order, just say it directly. Why go around and spend money to buy me gifts? Forget it, if I accept your gifts, I'm afraid I have to take them with me. The wooden shackles and iron ropes went back in the prison car."
Jiang Chengyue smiled and finished the glass of wine, stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and brought it to her mouth to chew, then smiled and said: "Mr. Shen is here, I'm afraid he wants to ask me how far I plan to go before I stop, right? ? Are there too many people putting pressure on Mr. Shen recently, and Mr. Shen can’t stand it anymore? "
