Within two days, Gu Zhengchen interrogated Bu Shou, Bu Zhongsheng, Bu Suanzi, Bu Yuanhai and others four times. He even went through the letters, documents and account books found by Bu family, Jingming Villa and others, but found no clues.
The person who sent the intelligence in Jinling was as clean as if he didn't exist, and the Bu family didn't bite Gao Hui out. It seemed that Gao Hui was really bewitched and instigated by the Bu family before he suddenly came to Quanzhou Mansion and repeatedly targeted Gu Zhengchen.
If you don't give an account while you are alive, go to the Lord of Hell and give an account after you die.
Gu Zhengchen did not delay because these people did not say anything, but simply sent more than 20 people including Bu Shou, Bu Zhongsheng, and Bu Suanzi to Caishikou.
Considering that everyone is responsible for saving food, Gu Zhengchen decided to send Wei Xiang, deputy director of the Shipping Department, who was wasting food, Zhou Yu, who collected tolls from the Wan'an Bridge, Zhou Nong, ambassador of the Taxation Department, and others. Arrived at Caishikou.
The prison cell in the government office is almost empty.
Gu Zhengchen's handling methods were very simple and crude. Those who could be beaten were beaten, and those who were unable to be beaten were basically beheaded.
As for imprisonment and exile, they are not considered.
For the government offices and county offices of the Ming Dynasty, even in Jinling in the seventh year of Hongwu, murder was a rare scene. But in Quanzhou Prefecture, murderers have become accustomed to killing, and they lose their heads every three days, and rarely once they do. They are in single digits, and they all start in tens digits. They look into each other's eyes and go to hell with tears in their eyes...
However, countless people came to kill this time, because too many people were harmed by the Bu family, especially when the government spread the news that it was the Bu family's bad idea that caused the people of three counties to fold colored silk, leaving four The people of the county bear the taxes of the seven counties. Too many people are harmed by this idea.
Because the announcement of this murder was made three days in advance, many people from other counties in Quanzhou came to watch. Too many people entered, and the small Jinjiang City was completely blocked.
Bu Shou looked up at the sun, then lowered his head when he was slapped by the ghost head knife. Looking at the basket, he felt a chill on his neck. He saw the earth, the crowd, and finally the sun in his eyes.
Dazzling.
Oh, I saw the basket again. My eyes seemed to have been pricked and I could no longer see clearly. The sky suddenly turned dark...
One head rolled down, followed by another!
Bu Suanzi saw that his eldest brother's head had also been chopped off, and he looked sadly at the crowd, where stood a tearful Liu Niang.
At this moment, what else can be said?
The divination operator is bitter and conceited about being a genius. He is conceited about being able to strategize and divine destiny, but what will be the result?
The head rolls off and stops there.
Gu Zhengchen closed the case, killed someone, and finally started writing a memorial.
What happened here must be told to Lao Zhu, let him know what crimes these people committed and why they died, and explain clearly why he can't wait for the Ministry of Punishments to review and collude with Lao Zhu. Only by explaining clearly and thoroughly can future troubles be eliminated.
If Lao Zhu couldn't figure it out and shouted something like "This kid dared to kill people behind my back in Quanzhou Mansion" in two years, Gu Zhengchen would be in bad luck.
Looking back on the entire Quanzhou case, although it is not very complicated, the wide range of involvement and the number of murders can be said to be rare.
In the Tang Dynasty, Hui'an County screamed on the street at night, the officials of the Hebo Office made a fuss in Shuangxikou, the shipwreck case in Luoyang Town, Yang Baiju took the lead in not living in the government office, occupying private houses and embezzling, Hui'an pirates appeared to lure the tiger away from the mountain, Quanzhou Wei Zhouyuan He ordered the sergeant to pretend to be a pirate to cause trouble for the people. Chu Xing led the navy to take action secretly. He went to Hui'an County himself and captured the sergeant who attacked Shuangxikou, forcing Zhou Yuan to stop. .??m
Then Tang Xian died of "truly heartache", and Gao Hui received the prefect's seal and ordered Qin Xin to act as the prefect. He entered the Quanzhou Guard himself, killed Zhou Yuan and Cai Ye, and ordered Huang Senping to rectify the Quanzhou Guard. He was lying dormant and looking for an opportunity to take action again to establish the major corruption cases of Qin Xin and Wukang. Gao Hui took action again and transferred the "sick soldier" of Jinghaihou. The killings of Qin Xin and Wu Kang, the Bu family's head banquet, the Jingming Villa, the confrontation at Quanzhou Port, and the appearance of Xinghua Wei Zhang He.
When Gao Hui was imprisoned, the truth about the case of Zhao Yihui, the Shipping Secretary, came to light. Lu Zongyi, Chen Tai, Prince Consort Wang Kegong and others who participated in the provincial affairs came to come and issued an imperial edict to take away the management rights of the Shipping Division and Quanzhou Port. Li Zongfeng confessed and committed suicide. The Bu family is destroyed!
At this point, a series of cases have finally been solved! What followed was a thorough purge of the officialdom of Quanzhou Prefecture!
"Your Majesty Gu Zhengchen paid a visit to Quanzhou Prefecture: He landed in Chongwu, Hui'an on August 19th, took office on September 10th, and took charge of the government office until he killed Bu Shou and concluded the case on October 29th, a total of seventy-one days and nights. The case involved a wide range of people, affecting one government and seven county governments, and it harmed many people, including three hundred thousand people in one government, many of whom suffered..."
Gu Zhengchen put down his pen and carefully wrote down all the things that happened during these days, omitting the process of overt and covert fighting, and focused on emphasizing the crime of the person killed and the reasons why he should be killed.
As for how to investigate and find out the truth, it is enough to write this kind of thing to Zhu Biao. Lao Zhu is very busy and there is no need to read these details.
Besides, if he wants to know, he can ask Xiao Cheng.
Even though Gu Zhengchen tried his best to describe it briefly, he still wrote for nearly two hours and nearly 5,000 words. There is no other way. You need to be careful when writing a document to Lao Zhu, and think carefully about the wording. It doesn't matter if there are a few typos, but there are sensitive words, which may be fatal one day in the future...
After writing the document for Lao Zhu, I started to write the document for Zhu Biao. There is no need to think too much about it. Mix in a few words of praise, brag about your wisdom and prowess, express the story more passionately and passionately, and give it to Zhu Biao. It doesn't matter if you give him some chicken blood. Life in the East Palace is very boring, so it would be nice to give him some outside stories.
For these two documents, Gu Zhengchen wrote until midnight. When he finished, he wrote a simple letter to Zhang Xiwan and handed it to Xiao Cheng. He pointed to the wooden box on the table: "That gem is for the East Palace, the emperor." The queen's gifts have been stored in the warehouse and will be taken with you when you leave tomorrow."
Xiao Cheng held the documents and letters and said seriously: "The time I have spent with you has been happier and more comfortable than the years I spent in Longxiang Guard. Are you sure you won't let Zhang Pei go back? I can protect you better by staying here."
Gu Zhengchen shook his head: "Zhang Pei is already a member of the Gu family. You are different. You are Qianhu, the emperor's personal guard."
The emperor may not completely believe Zhang Pei's words. You must know that Zhang Pei's family is now tied to the Nan's Mansion in Quanzhou County. He and Yao Zhen have left Mu's Mansion and joined the Nan's Mansion in Quanzhou County.
Zhang Pei called Gu Zhengchen a master, not a prince, nor a prefect.
But the emperor will definitely believe Xiao Cheng's words, because this is the person the emperor personally selected and the person he arranged to be around Gu Zhengchen.
Xiao Cheng felt a little disappointed when he heard this: "I thought we were brothers who fought together on the battlefield, but you only remember that I am Qianhu."
Gu Zhengchen looked deeply at Xiao Cheng, stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Cheng's hand, slapped a copper coin into his palm, and said seriously: "You are returning to life this time, so naturally you can only guard Qianhu. Officialdom aside, you, Xiao Cheng, are my friend Gu Zhengchen, at least I can entrust my life to you! Consider this my gift to you, have a good night's rest, you will start to feel tired tomorrow."
friend? !
Xiao Cheng felt hot and looked down at the copper coins in his hand.
This is a Hongwu Tongbao that Gu Zhengchen has been playing with. Some places on the copper coin have been polished due to frequent manipulation.
"Aren't you too stingy? You only gave me a copper plate?"
Xiao Cheng complained, but was not resentful.
Gu Zhengchen stretched out his hand: "Don't come back. This thing has been following me since Teng County. If I didn't want to leave you with some thoughts, I wouldn't be willing to part with it."
Xiao Cheng immediately stuffed it into his chest.
Gu Zhengchen likes to flip coins around at his fingertips. This seems to have become a typical action for him when he thinks about problems, solves problems, makes decisions, and deals with people and problems. Because of this, this copper coin can be regarded as Gu Zhengchen's personal belongings, and the value of the favor far exceeds the copper coin itself.
The ancients gave away personal belongings, mostly to relatives and friends, and there was a sense of friendship in them.
For example, scholars give jade pendants to each other, and men and women give hairpins and sachets to each other. If you really don’t have anything to give as a gift, you can also toss the willow tree, so-called breaking the willow tree to say goodbye...
Copper coins are better than willow sticks, don't give them in vain.
After Xiao Cheng put away his things, he sat down cross-legged and adjusted his breath into concentration.
Gu Zhengchen also lay down, feeling a little reluctant to let Xiao Cheng go. The scene when this guy drew his sword when facing Wang Kegong was really memorable. No matter what, he is a person who can stand in front of him at critical moments and protect himself with his life.
But Xiao Cheng, like Qin Song and others, had an additional mission to ensure that he was safe when rectifying the officialdom of Quanzhou Prefecture, so that he would not be driven crazy, fooled, or die in a cruel way.
Now there are basically no big problems in the officialdom of Quanzhou Prefecture. The enemies hiding in the dark have been killed. Safety is no longer a problem. Zhang Pei, Lin Baifan and a group of government officials are enough.
At dawn, Gu Zhengchen sent Xiao Cheng, Qin Song, Mei Hong and others out of Jinjiang City and gave them instructions before waving goodbye.
When there was no one in sight, Gu Zhengchen turned around and said to Zhao Sanqi: "Send a message to the seven counties. Quanzhou Prefecture has put the two taxes on hold for the time being. They are not allowed to collect them. All officials will arrive at the government office on the 5th, and there are no officials." If the Dianshi is not available, let the officials of the household come. No delay!"
"yes!"
Zhao Sanqi quickly arranged for someone to deliver the message.
Gu Zhengchen looked at Zhang Pei: "You are responsible for recruiting boatmen who are good at sailing and have excellent water skills. Let them come to the second hall of the government office in two days. The manpower recommended by Li Zongfeng can be used."
Zhang Pei understood.
When Lin Baifan saw Gu Zhengchen looking over, he quickly stepped forward and prepared to wait.
Gu Zhengchen looked at Lin Baifan: "Go buy a fish."
"ah……"
Lin Baifan was depressed. Why were they all doing business, and I was the only one doing odd jobs?
Gu Zhengchen returned to the government office. Before he entered the government office gate, he saw the government servant leading a horse. The government servant quickly reported: "Master, Zhang He, the commander of Xinghua Guard, is here."
"So fast!"
Gu Zhengchen entered the government office and saw Zhang He in the second hall. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Commander Zhang, are you okay?"
Zhang He saluted solemnly: "Prefect Gu, are you still in good health?"
A few words of greeting.
Zhang He was a general and he said bluntly: "Why did Magistrate Gu transfer me here?"
Gu Zhengchen picked up the tea bowl and said slowly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask Commander Zhang if he wants to find a marquis..."
