The guards of the Zhang family still did not rescue Master Zhang San after all, and watched Fan Hongdao escort Zhang Sijiao away from Lord Zhu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

First, Fan Hongdao and Zhu Junzhu have no less manpower than the Zhang family, or even more; second, Zhang Sijiao is in the hands of Fan Hongdao, and the Zhang family has lost their backbone; third, they are shocked by Fan Hongdao's shouting of "regarded as killing officials and rebelling."

took the big fish Zhang Sijiao, and Fan Hongdao personally sent him to the yamen of the procuratorate and kept him under strict supervision.

It didn't take long for the messenger who killed the Zhang family's courtyard to come back. reported to Fan Hongdao that he ran some and caught some, and brought back a total of six or seven people.

However, they did as Fan Hongdao ordered, focusing on arresting those who were well-dressed or dressed as literati. These six or seven people asked briefly on the road, and most of them were stewards or curtain seats.

It was only at this time that Fan Hongdao was slightly relieved, and today's difficulties were basically over.

first alleviated the fierce emotions of the crowd of the people's rebellion, and then induced the crowd to the gate of the Salt Transportation Division, and then let Gao Yushi sit inside the Salt Transportation Division and directly monitor the officials of the Salt Transportation Division;

Then the "big waves and sand" dispersed the crowd and seized the backbone of the trouble, and finally directly carried out the "decapitation operation" at the fastest speed, crushing the Zhang family's forces in one fell swoop.

In these links, only he, Fan Hongdao, knows all the strategies best, and is the de facto leader of the procuratorate. So he is also the most nervous, and his spirit is also the most tense, and if there is a problem in any link, he has to remedy it.

At the same time, in the front yard of the Salt Transportation Division, Wei An, the old official who was left here by Fan Hongdao to interrogate the troublemakers, was very depressed. What made him feel scratching his head this time was not that he couldn't ask for a confession.

In fact, most of these salts are ordinary people, and they don't have any stubborn intentions. Besides, Fan Hongdao had already been gentle before, and promised in public that he would not blame the past, so it was easy to ask for a confession from them.

But if you look at these confessions, they are nothing more than "a certain man in black came to give money", "a certain tall and thin man came to instigate" and the like.

What is the practical value of such a confession? Is it possible to search all over the city to track down some "man in black" or "tall and thin man"?

Even if it is tortured, it is completely meaningless, what these salts know is like this, and they are all answered truthfully, there is no need to torture again.

With the confession, Wei An sighed and asked back and forth, but it was this kind of result, and I really felt a little sorry for Mr. Fan's trust.

Just when he was at a loss, Wei An saw an inspector rushing in from the outside, and shouted to him: "Mr. Fan has an order, it's done, all of them will be collected and returned to the procuratorate!"

Originally, because there was not enough manpower, all the errands had to be sent out to operate, and there was no manpower to escort the arrested salt Ding back to the procuratorate, so these salt Ding were left in the front yard of the Salt Transportation Division. Now that the operation is over, the manpower can be freed up, so it is naturally better to escort all the suspects back to the procuratorate.

When Wei An returned to the procuratorate, he only felt that the atmosphere was completely different from when he left. There is a sense of joy like rebirth after a catastrophe, and there is also a carnival of great victory.

As a seasoned official, Wei An secretly shook his head at this, he felt that it was not yet time to be happy. At this moment, at least legally, the opponent has not been completely crucified, and there is not enough chain of evidence and confessions to lock the enemy to death.

In layman's terms, even if Fan Hongdao arrests all the people of the Zhang family, it can only be a temporary measure. If there is no clear evidence pointing to them, I am afraid that they will have to be released under pressure in the end, after all, the Zhang family is a local wealthy family with great influence.

As the saying goes, if you don't die when you beat a snake, you will suffer from it, and now that you haven't completely killed the snake, how can you celebrate it first? Because you forget your form for a while, and there are fewer cases of being overturned at the last moment?

On the platform outside the lobby, Wei An ran into Fan Hongdao and reminded: "Don't be too happy. He also said, "The confession I have asked here is almost useless, and it cannot be pointed to the mastermind behind the scenes, so what can I do about it?"

Fan Hongdao smiled "haha", "What is there to worry about, your worries are unnecessary!"

Immediately, Fan Hongdao instructed the servants around him: "You go and bring all the people of the Zhang family here!" and then he said to Wei An: "You also go and bring all those salts here!"

"These salt confessions are not described, but there are still eyes! We took the Zhang family to them and asked them to identify them on the spot!

Even if you can only recognize one or two, isn't that tantamount to pointing the evidence at the Zhang family? Then you will be interrogated in a targeted manner, and those who are not honest will be punished, and if you don't believe it, you won't get a result!"

Wei An slapped his forehead violently and said repeatedly: "It's me who is confused!

Fan Hongdao is really smart, as if no matter what comes into his hands, it will become simple and easy.

Fan Hongdao took the risk of violating the rules, and went to arrest the Zhang family first, which turned out to be useful here.

Then it was getting late, and Gao Yushi also rushed back from the Salt Transport Division. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by Fan Hongdao's actions.

"How did you arrest Zhang Sijiao as well?" asked the old Yushi in disbelief. It's okay to catch a bunch of servants, staff, and stewards, and so on, and it's a bit big to arrest Zhang Sijiao, the master's family, not to mention that Zhang Sijiao is still Zhang Siwei's younger brother.

Fan Hongdao showed the collected letters from Zhang Sijiao's own handwriting to the old imperial history: "If you don't die, you won't die, he even wrote this kind of letter, what else dare not be caught." ”

The old imperial history saw it with his own eyes and confirmed that this was a letter written by Zhang Sijiao to the Yanyun Division, so he was a little relieved. With this kind of ironclad evidence of collusion between officials and businessmen, no matter who doubts it, it can stand up. Then he asked, "What are you going to do with this letter?"

"Why do you need to use it? It's best not to use it. Fan Hongdao replied, "The most deterrent time for bows and arrows is when they are on the strings, and the most deterrent time for swords is when they are raised."

Now outsiders don't know the existence of this letter, and putting it in their own hands is the biggest deterrent. Of course, if you meet an ignorant stunned youth, then you have to use this letter. ”

The old imperial history now has 200% trust in Fan Hongdao, and since Fan Hongdao said so, then he will obey his words.

There was no word for a night, and when the news spread the next day, the whole city was shaken.

Originally, the procuratorate seemed to be alone and embattled, and it was bound to defeat under the combined attack of several parties, but unexpectedly it turned the tables around.

The wealthy and powerful Zhang family was also caught off guard by the procuratorate, and even Zhang Sijiao, the number two person in the Zhang family, was arrested into the yamen of the procuratorate!

In this round, the procuratorate is definitely a complete victory. But those with insight also point out that this outright victory does not mean a final victory.

After all, the foundation of the Zhang family has not been shaken, as long as Zhang Siwei is still there, the Zhang family cannot be underestimated. At the same time, although the Salt Transportation Division did not move yesterday, it was almost unharmed, and still had the strength to confront the procuratorate.

All in all, the best is yet to come.
