By talking to these people, Lu Hongwei discovered that not only did these people not hate Jin Yiwei, but they had always hated the gentry who had acted as troublemakers before! Because they thought very clearly, since Lu Hongwei didn't want to arrest them at the beginning, but just wanted them to return the stolen goods, then it would be fine, and he could continue to be an official after the operation was completed!
But since the matter has been revealed, it is no longer a matter of making more attempts! The most important problem facing them now is the cessation of official career! Because if the matter is revealed, it must be filed, and filing a record is equivalent to modern people having a criminal record. It will be much more difficult to climb up the ladder! Even those whose family power is small and whose connections are not strong enough may have to leave their jobs to make way for others. This is even more uncomfortable than killing them!
At the same time, Jin Yiwei's habit of seizing the big and letting go of the small is in line with official rules and conventions. So Jin Yiwei is right! So they hate those gentry who come out to cause trouble even more! It was because of them that Jin Yiwei was forced to break the rules! As for the officials who were arrested earlier, they don't care! Because they have the biggest official position and get the most money, they should be the ones to take the blame if something goes wrong!
At this point, Lu Hongwei's errands have gone smoothly! The officials who already knew their fate simply explained everything they knew! And Lu Hongwei reciprocated the favor. Although he was detained, he still served him delicious food and drinks, and he only asked them to return the dirty silver! For some people, he even directly signed the documents for making meritorious service and sent people back to take charge of local work! In short, he was the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who opened up the situation first!
So when the news spread to other provinces, the other Jin Yiwei looked envious, jealous and hateful! But they didn't have Lu Hongwei's good luck. They could only grit their teeth and curse a few words, then lowered their heads and continued on their errands!
Fortunately, the speed of information circulation in this era is too slow, and the news of Henan Prefecture has not completely spread! Otherwise, it will cause great difficulties to the arrest work in other provinces! However, although it is difficult, it will not affect the efficiency of their arrest.
Because Liu Haojia knows that when the money is transferred, it is the time when the officials take action! So ever since the imperial court started distributing money, he had already sent people to keep an eye on the officials below!
And those officials have been leisurely for too long on weekdays, and corruption has become a semi-public matter, so it is easy to find a lot of evidence. Just follow the clues and you can get a group of officials! In short, all the Jin Yiwei are busy doing their errands, just looking forward to being promoted and making a fortune!
Now, if anyone takes a tour of Fusi in the North and South Towns, they will find that the government offices in these two places are almost empty! All available manpower has been sent to other places. This time Liu Haojia is going to catch a few big fish!
After Lu Hongwei eliminated all obstacles, he began to take drastic action! Those who should be arrested will be arrested, those who should be asked for confessions will be asked for confessions, and those who should be ransacked will have their homes searched! However, he resolutely implemented Liu Haojia's established policy, which was to seize the big and let go of the small!
But even so, he still increased the arrest list by 20%, almost completely clearing out the high-level officials in Henan Prefecture! The remaining officials who had returned the stolen money were assigned to various places to preside over work, waiting for the court to deal with it! However, it can basically be declared that their career is cut off, but at least they will end up with a good ending, and they will not end up like Lu Jinhan, who ended up with everyone being copied!
And if they can find a strong enough backer in the future, it is not impossible for them to take a further step in their career! After all, there were sixty or seventy officials arrested in Henan Prefecture alone this time. With so many positions vacated, people always need to be filled!
With Lu Hongwei's aggressive arrests, officials from other provinces began to feel that something was not going well! Because the arrests could no longer be concealed and spread quickly among the officials! And the officialdom is the most sensitive to such news!
After receiving the news, other corrupt officials began to clean up their traces. As a result, they were horrified to find that many people around them had disappeared! This made them wonder if they were being targeted by Jin Yiwei! But no one sheds tears until he sees the coffin. He began to work harder to clean up the traces of corruption, and begged God to protect him from being caught! They even thought that with so many officials from the Henan Prefecture offering sacrifices to the flag, would the Jinyiwei be so full that they couldn't move anymore? After all, they don’t believe that Jin Yiwei dares to lift the lid on Quan Daming!
But in fact it was not what they thought, but Liu Haojia simply planned to scour the whole country! At least the main sources of finance and taxation should be carefully cleaned up! Therefore, the Jin Yiwei from other provinces were yelling at Lu Hongwei for deliberately making the matter bigger and grabbing credit, and then desperately working hard to collect evidence so as to finally implement the case!
At this time, Zhang Juzheng, who was prosperous in Beijing, had returned home. However, the first thing he did when he returned to the mansion today was not to eat, but to immediately ask someone to call You Qi to come over.
After entering the study, You Qi first saluted Zhang Juzheng, stood up and said, "Master, the weather is getting colder now, you'd better put on some clothes!"
Zhang Juzheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter, you should know my habits."
Hearing this, You Qi could only shake his head slightly and no longer dwell on this issue. Zhang Juzheng can be said to be a real stranger! He wears a singlet no matter winter or summer, and his firepower is extremely high! Now his outfit has become a topic of discussion in the capital!
At this time, Zhang Juzheng put down his tea cup and said, "Today you handed a note to the palace, saying that there has been some action in Henan Mansion. What is the situation?"
You Qi said with a smile: "I just received the news that the Jinyi guards there have indeed moved!"
After that, he recounted the information he had learned, and finally said: "I didn't expect that there are talents among the Jinyiwei. Not only did they deal with the troubles caused by the gentry, they even beat them up. They also knew how to take this opportunity to give at least the credit to their own family." It’s tripled! It seems like there will be another general among the Jin Yiwei!"
Zhang Juzheng did not comment on You Qi's praise, because he had seen too many talents in his position, not to mention that he himself was an unparalleled genius, so he was already a little indifferent! After twirling his beard for a while, he said, "Is there any action in other places?"
You Qi suppressed his smile and said: "There is no action in other places at the moment. The main reason is that Jin Yiwei got the account book directly in Henan Mansion, so the action is faster. Other places are not so lucky! But the old slave did find something The thing is that the people on our list have been very active recently, and they seem to be busy destroying evidence, cleaning up accounts and other things. It's just that our people can't be relied on and can't get the real situation!"
