So after Hou Fangtai, who was standing at the front, thought about the whole situation clearly, his face turned red at first, and then turned pale as paper! Even my body was shaking! If he hadn't been in good health, he might have spit out a mouthful of blood!
And the gentry behind him are not much better than him! They knew that this would cause a big disaster for the family, so they all stared at Lu Hongwei angrily, intent on choosing someone to devour! As for the scholars, they are even worse! Those gentry still have some connections and wealth, but they have nothing. If they are attacked, they don't even have the ability to fight back!
Now they know that after today's word-of-mouth spread among the people has reached the ears of the prisoners, the culprit must be themselves! They had even seen a few looks of hatred from the crowd. It must have been officials sent by the judge to find out who had committed the crime but who had not yet been arrested!
At this time, Lu Hongwei said loudly: "Okay, everyone can rest assured that this is the case! I have posted all the notices, and there will be no changes! If you are still gathering people here, I will arrest you If you are a human being, you will be charged with gathering a crowd to cause trouble!"
After Lu Hongwei finished talking about the crime, his royal guards also started shouting loudly and started to drive away the people. The common people had had enough of watching the fun, and the Jin Yiwei promised to arrest people again, so they left talking among themselves!
The common people left, but the gentry couldn't leave! Because when those imperial guards were driving away the people, they intentionally or unintentionally surrounded them and completely separated them from the people! Moreover, when some people tried to leave from Jinyiwei's human wall, they were all blocked back!
With their old arms and legs, they are no match for those strong men! So after all the surrounding people left, they were also gathered in front of the Yamen. At this time, Hou Fangtai kept panting like a defeated rooster, and then said in a pleading voice: "Sir, the matter has come to this, why are you still stopping me?"
Lu Hongwei sneered and said: "What are you doing? Of course I invite all the wise men to come and sit in the yamen! You have given me such a great contribution, and I must thank you very much! Someone come and tell them all Drag it in!"
The gentry were shocked when they heard this and wanted to flee! But they were originally scholars and were old, so they were no match for these wolf-like and tiger-like Jin Yiwei! He didn't even have a chance to struggle, and was dragged directly into the governor's office!
There was also a group of Jin Yiwei who had already changed into casual clothes and blended into the crowd when Lu Hongwei winked! They have long been keeping an eye on the people who were causing trouble in the crowd. As long as they are captured and both the people and the stolen goods are taken away, these gentry will not be able to get rid of their crimes!
Seeing that his plan was successful, Lu Hongwei looked up to the sky and laughed! After laughing, he patted his belly and said, "This time the official has been promoted!"
There were several general banners beside him who hurriedly came forward to congratulate him upon seeing this. As for Xiaoqi, they naturally followed him from afar and congratulated him! The people in front of the Yamen suddenly became beaming with joy!
What does Jin Yiwei rely on to get promoted and make a fortune? It depends on catching people! The more prisoners you catch, the greater your credit will be, and the more you will be promoted and rich! But when they came out this time, Liu Haojia strictly ordered them not to make things worse, which put a shackles on them!
Now that these gentry came out to cause trouble, they gave Lu Hongwei the opportunity to arrest people on a large scale! Although he also knew that the most serious case for those who were arrested would be to be dismissed from office, and there were even some who could get away with it just by returning the stolen goods. But the credit for catching these people must be credited to him!
Judging from the current situation, he has almost uprooted the officials in the first government of Henan. When he goes back, let alone being promoted to deputy Qianhu, it is more than enough to directly get a full-time job!
Lu Hongwei put his hands on his hips proudly and said, "Speaking of which, I have a good life. I actually took out my account book! Otherwise, I don't know how long it will be delayed!"
Everyone also knew that his words were not adulterated, and it was indeed real luck! Because if there is no actual evidence, it is difficult to move an official! After all, the saying that "officers and officers guard each other" is not for nothing, and the Jin Yiwei doesn't just say that he can take people by taking them!
According to their original plan, they would first secretly arrest a low-level official, and after obtaining the confession evidence, they would unravel the whole thing bit by bit.
Only in this way can the evidence be gradually hammered out, leaving the arrested officials speechless.
To this end, they also bribed a clerk and a servant in the Yamen with coercion and inducement. But just when they were about to take action, the scribe spread the news that the master and the scribe who were specially responsible for making false accounts for Lu Jinhan had entered his room, making it clear that they wanted to reconcile the accounts!
So after receiving the news, Lu Hongwei made a decisive decision to seize the ledger, so that he could settle the matter in Fucheng so quickly! As for his colleagues in other provinces, they are not as lucky as him. They are still advancing step by step, and it is still too early to get conclusive evidence!
Speaking of this, Lu Hongwei was naturally extremely proud and began to brag about his wisdom and prowess! And the officers at all levels next to him are also willing to praise this bad guy! So those who brag about it are filled with colorful flowers, and those who praise it are filled with colorful clouds!
Just as they were congratulating each other and beaming with joy, the Jin Yiwei who followed the people came back one after another! A few unlucky ones were unlucky and had to return empty-handed, but most of them also captured people and came back. A total of eight or nine people were forced to kneel under the steps.
Although these people were dressed like ordinary people, one look at the skin color on their faces and hands showed that they were not ordinary people! Some people even don’t even have the right clothes! In particular, one of the Jin Yiwei directly said with joy: "Sir, this guy was attacked on the way here! He is a servant of a gentry family named He, and it was He who sent him to cause trouble and incite the people!"
Lu Hongwei was even more happy when he heard this! With the testimony of these people, the responsibility of those gentry for gathering in crowds and causing trouble cannot be escaped! So he waved his hand and said: "Drag them in, carefully record the confession, don't make any mistakes! The position of Qianhu, my official, will fall on them!"
What happened in front of the governor's office spread everywhere as the people dispersed, and soon everyone in Henan Prefecture knew what happened! And just as Lu Hongwei expected, those officials who had not yet had time to arrest them all received the news, and many of them even simply surrendered! There are even cases where Jin Yiwei rushing to other counties encountered surrendering officials on the way!
