Lin Yi's expression changed.
Even Zhao Tai said something with a bad influence, it must be really bad!
"explain!"
Lin Yunhong stared at Zhao Tai with a solemn expression, showing no anger or authority.
"This matter was originally just an 'ordinary' incident of violating the law, that is, multiple people deliberately committed crimes, but problems arose during the handling process!"
Zhao Tai explained, "According to the normal handling method of the yamen, if someone violates the law by violating the law, the police of the Demon Suppressing Hall will arrest the culprit immediately."
"You may seek help from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Dragon Guard as needed to jointly arrest the bandits..."
Lin Yunhong frowned and said: "Don't avoid the important and take the easy. What specific thing do I want you to tell me, and where is the bad influence?"
Lin Yi was also confused when he heard this.
Did Zhao Tai enter the palace to tell him and Lin Yunhong how to handle the case?
"Well!"
Only then did Zhao Tai react and said quickly: "I was nervous for a moment. The specific thing is this..."
Zhao Tai immediately reported the information Hua Baguang reported to him in detail to Lin Yunhong and Lin Yi.
In fact, the Long Guards in the city did hear about this, but they thought it was a matter in Yongshan County and didn't pay much attention to it.
The arrest of the criminal is certain, it is just a matter of time.
But now the news is spreading in the city. It has been several days, and there is no notice from the county government.
The criminal is still at large.
The people in the city are very scared now because they don't know when such a thing will happen to them.
It is simply appalling that something like this happened at the feet of the Emperor.
It is normal for scholars to have conflicts among themselves. It is normal for them to have disputes over academic theories and fight over articles and calligraphy. However, it is normal for them to get into fights if they cannot get through the quarrel.
But the incident in Yongshan County has a different meaning and cannot be justified.
Bullying the few with more.
The strong bullies the weak.
According to the two weekly newspapers published some time ago, the people in the capital felt that good times were coming and were full of hope for the future.
That party made the people of the capital feel the will of His Majesty and the Crown Prince to love the people.
But after this incident happened, the way the county government handled the news made people feel resentful.
In fact.
Such things happen in the capital and in various prefectures. Wherever there are people, there are conflicts.
But things happen and they can be solved.
Justice and justice are in the human heart.
What the people want is really not much!
But the yamen can't even respond to the people's basic demands. How desperate would that be?
How does this make those with violent intentions feel?
Maybe the next person to be injured will be another weak person.
Zhao Tai also wants to handle the case, but he can't just go if he wants to. At the very least, he has to report to His Majesty.
Such a big thing happened, how could you not go to Datian to hear it?
…
In the royal study, Zhao Tai explained the matter clearly and clearly.
Lin Yi frowned and was angry in his heart, but he had learned to suppress his emotions and began to think about how to deal with the matter.
Lin Yunhong also frowned.
"Who is the magistrate of Yongshan County? Who is the county captain?" Lin Yunhong said in a deep voice.
"County Magistrate Tong Zhen was transferred from the Imperial Academy just last year, and County Lieutenant Yan Hao..." Zhao Tai also came prepared and told the information.
"kindness!"
Lin Yunhong nodded slightly, his expression unreadable, but he was obviously furious in his heart.
He took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yidao: "Prince, what do you think?"
Lin also knew that his father was testing him again.
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Strictly speaking, this issue is really just something that can be handled within the county government."
"Conflict the law with words. Dayan's law is written in black and white. You can deal with it how you want to deal with it."
"Whether he is a bachelor of the Academy, a bachelor of the Holy Academy, or a courtier or a powerful person, he will be treated equally."
"But obviously, this is the Yamen protecting that group of people, which has caused a backlog of public dissatisfaction!"
Lin Yi looked solemn and said: "So this matter must be dealt with strictly and quickly. If you don't punish severely, it won't be enough to anger the people! If you don't punish severely, it won't be enough to uphold the law of the country!"
"If the law is not strict, there will be no treatment; if the order is not implemented, there will be no strictness!"
Lin Yunhong nodded slightly.
Zhao Tai was listening quietly and agreed with Prince Lin Yi's words, but he still needed to wait for His Majesty to finalize the matter.
"Punish severely, serve as a warning to others, thoroughly investigate the forces behind it, never cap it, and restore peace to the people!"
Lin Yunhong immediately took action and looked at Lin Yidao: "This matter has a greater impact. It's up to you, Prince, to take the lead in handling it and resolve it as soon as possible to calm the public's complaints!"
"My son, I obey!"
Lin Yi roughly knew from the moment his father asked him that this matter would fall on him.
There is nothing we can do about it.
Things are getting serious.
If it were just handled by ordinary Ministry of Justice officials, it wouldn't be taken seriously.
For those literati, it did not meet their psychological expectations.
According to Lin Yi's understanding.
Since the Yamen already knows about this matter and is dealing with it, it is enough to show that the Yamen has taken action.
But it may be impossible to arrest the perpetrator due to his identity and background.
In this case, the normal handling logic of government officials would be to bribe key witnesses in order to prevent the matter from getting too big.
It is even possible to retract the confession.
At the same time, money will also be spent, allowing the victim to choose to accept the money and settle the matter.
So everyone is happy.
But the current situation is that some people hope that this matter will make a big fuss, and they are actively spreading it in order to arouse public outrage.
Then, with the help of the anger of the people in the capital, reaching the heavens, it is equivalent to coercing the will of the court and the people, and using the power of thunder to eradicate the perpetrators and the protective force behind them.
so……
This is a game of chess.
If his guess was correct, Lin Yi felt that it was very likely that Tong Zhen, the magistrate of Yongshan County, was playing this game.
'This county magistrate has something special! '
Lin Yi thought in his mind, in this era, for an official to understand this trick, his thinking can be said to be very advanced.
Lin Yi then resigned to Lin Yunhong.
He and Zhao Tai left the imperial study room.
…
On the way out of the palace.
"Your Highness, how many Dragon Guards should be mobilized? Even if the capital is turned upside down, people still have to be arrested. This is so annoying!"
Zhao Tai said.
He was still very calm in the imperial study, but when he came out, only Prince Lin Yi dared to show his anger.
"It's not that complicated. People in the county government know who committed the crime and who they are."
Lin Yi shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "Step by step, this matter is not just a matter of arresting people, but how to solve the demands of the people in the capital..."
"If it is not handled well, it will be a major event for the destiny of the country and the country!"
"So my father's intention is very clear. He plans to use this matter as an opportunity to rectify such problems among the people. If nothing unexpected happens, at tomorrow's court meeting, my father will ask the Ministry of Punishment to take the lead in rectifying such problems among the people. He will also It’s nationwide…”
Lin also has reason to believe that Lin Yunhong will do this.
This is a matter related to the national destiny and the country.
Some things don't suddenly burst out of thin air. They must reach a certain critical point before they appear.
And once it occurs, it has to be treated.
Because if it is left unchecked, the national destiny will inevitably decline, which is an extremely dangerous thing for the royal family.
Zhao Tai looked at Lin Yi blankly.
This is too fierce!
Can you even calculate clearly what will happen in the meeting tomorrow?
But it has to be said.
Such a Crown Prince is definitely a blessing for Dayan.
