Catching Xu Sihai's smuggling was a clue to the families involved in Jiangnan. After letting Xu Sihai and his people continue sailing, Li Ru interrogated the spies sent by the aristocratic families on Xu Sihai's ship overnight.
Li Ru is not a soft-hearted person. He will not tell you when you ask, but he will be tough-talking, right? He will let you know what it is to be a human being. He will torture you and torture you in your heart. After a series of trials, these children who were originally small characters will soon look like they are being played. He looked so bad that he told me all about the time he peeked at the girl next door when he was a child.
Li Ru followed this clue and started to catch people. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, he first asked his men to pretend to be robbers and arrested several small families and participants living outside the city. After some questioning, he got almost all the evidence. , waited for two days to calculate Xu Sihai's itinerary, and after confirming that the transaction would not be delayed, he began to follow these clues to start the arrest.
In this case, follow the vines to catch the gourd. There are some chickens, cats and dogs behind the small gourd.
Behind the chickens, cats, and dogs, there is another string of vines. They continue to scratch along the vines, and piles of watermelons, winter melons, and large pumpkins are bubbling out.
Li Ru didn't care about 3721 or 4728. As long as one person was involved in the case, the whole family, servants, etc. would be taken away. Soon the cells of Jinyiwei in Yangzhou City and even in the south were full.
In the end, almost all the people were arrested, and they were all shipped to the East China Sea Fleet's camp. Due to the increasing number of people, Gan Ning had to set aside a separate area in the fleet to detain the people involved and their families.
Then Li Ru began to conduct more careful cross-examination and interrogation of the members of these families.
Li Ru notified Pang Tong and Qingfeng before taking action, and the two took the opportunity to arrest the criminals in their hands. The two groups did it almost at the same time.
There are 100 large and small families within 300 miles of Yangzhou City. The number of officials, generals, and school officials arrested in the town exceeds 300. The number of Jinyiwei 100 households and general banners exceeds 50. What makes Qingfeng feel a little comforted are the thousands of households in Yangzhou City. The Qianhu Yang Fan in the police station was pretty good, his crime was not serious, he was scolded, and he continued to work, which was a face to the integrity supervision and law enforcement agency that Li Mingda ordered.
In fact, for Li Mingda, who was far away in Chang'an, after seeing the list of people involved in the case provided by Li Ru, it didn't mean much to use this fig leaf. It was just that he finally found a person who could make do with it, so he gave him a break. Bar.
Li Mingda's request to Yang Fan was that he should take the surviving 100 members of the Jinyiwei family and the chiefs of the general banner to the execution ground to be imprisoned. He wanted him to see the fate of his colleagues and subordinates who were greedy and derelict in their duties and oppressed the people.
Yang Fan, who received Li Mingda's approval, was naturally very excited. It was not easy to survive.
Different from Yang Fan's fate, the fate of other officials in Yangzhou City was just one word, death.
Li Mingda had no good impression of such a low-sighted person who had deceived him for so long, and he also issued a special order to add one degree to all crimes. Officials who could be exiled and beheaded were not allowed to have direct blood relatives for five generations. Enter politics.
The three-generation descendants of officials who have been exiled are not allowed to engage in politics. The children of officials who have been imprisoned for more than five years within 10 years are not allowed to engage in politics. Those who have been imprisoned for more than five years will not be employed.
All the traders involved in the case were arrested and sentenced, and their hidden assets were liquidated.
For those who have been unjustly, falsely and wrongly convicted, we will set things right and the victims will be compensated from these assets.
For the family members who are unaware of the situation, they provide ideological education and return a certain amount of property to allow these people to continue living. As for how much they give, they are treated differently.
Li Ru is also very shrewd. He gives more to believers in the Mingzun Holy Cult so that they can continue to live richer. He also tells them that this is Li Mingda's kindness to them. For those who have no faith, he gives less. As long as I'm not hungry anymore, as for if I still want to eat, drink and have fun like before, let's just dream.
Moreover, Li Ru did not intend to waste manpower. Instead of being imprisoned, he might as well send them to mines to let them know the suffering of the people. Li Mingda was satisfied with the punishment and agreed.
Li Ru also followed Li Mingda's ideas and took advantage of the great purges in the Yangzhou area to establish a brand new criminal file system locally, including the records of these people and their families.
In order to ensure the smooth preservation of the archives, cement was specially allocated to re-cast the archives of Jinyiwei and Fuya with cement.
And measures have been taken to prevent fire and theft.
When Xu Sihai and the others arrived, it was the peak period of arrests. A large number of people involved in the case and fleet sailors were pressing people to send them to the camp.
The scene was like moving ants, with people crying on the road, wailing regrets, and shouting about who my father is, who my uncle is, and who my uncle will take revenge on in the future.
The chaos is more lively than going to the market.
During his transaction with Xiao Qi, the people sent by Li Ru on the ship took a detailed look at the other party, recorded his description, drew a portrait, and took him back for secret investigation.
After the transaction was completed, Xu Sihai took a look at Xiao Qi's belt and found a jade pendant. Then under the dim light, he vaguely saw what seemed to be Jia Zi. He didn't say much and returned with the team after the transaction was completed.
Xu Sihai reported this news to Li Ru's people on the ship. It was their business whether to use it or not.
In fact, the spies on the ship also saw this jade pendant, but they saw it similar to what Xu Sihai saw. They didn't think it was a good word, it seemed to be similar.
When they arrived at the mouth of the river, they put the spies back, and their own boat with people was repaired according to the docking, so that spies Li Ru and his men could go back to deliver the news.
Li Ru was helpless after receiving the information. The other party was naturally not an easy person to do this, so it would be nice to have a jade pendant with a portrait and a trace of Jia calligraphy.
When arresting people in Yangzhou, the iron hand sent by Li Mingda to arrest the mysterious organization, Hanguang and his party also gained something. Not only did they capture some officials and aristocratic families who were infiltrated and involved, they also captured the entire city. Search for the mandrill that has no place to hide.
When he caught the mandrill, he didn't run away after seeing the iron hand, but surrendered like a bachelor.
After some interrogation, I found out that Mandrill was not having a good life these days. Even though he had only been here for a few days, he was hiding in Yangzhou City and did not dare to come out openly to buy. Every day, he would come out late at night to let others steal some. Not only did he have enough to eat and drink, but he was also worried about being caught by the yamen and guards, and he was also worried about being assassinated from within the organization.
He felt something was wrong when Xiaolian's hands were dishonest that day, especially when he noticed that Xiaolian's face and his own were unnaturally red. He instantly thought of a situation, that both he and Xiaolian had been drugged.
Naturally, it was other members of the organization who took action. What he didn't expect was that the ones who really took action were Xiao Lian and his trusted subordinates. Xiao Lianzi blushed to prevent Mandrill from noticing the situation and drinking it on purpose.
He planned to take advantage of the moment when the mandrill was exhausted and had sex, but the mandrill discovered the clues. Then he pretended to wash away, and pulled out a brick from the ground to successfully counterattack.
Then he changed the clothes of Xiaolian and his little followers, destroyed their appearance, and took the opportunity to sneak away. According to his confession, the little sister's home was actually a stronghold.
After Iron Shou got Mandrill's confession, he immediately led people to arrest him.
