In the Dezhuang hot pot in Suzhou City, several brocade guards are busy, and since the "cousin" came up with this method, there is too much information every day.

There are all kinds of information, what kind of young master and people are jealous of people in the brothel, what kind of little widow in the Wang family is caught stealing people and raped in bed, etc.

They pick out the useful ones every day, file them by category, and burn them directly if they don't have them.

Wu Cheng has developed Dezhuang hot pot to the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, and thirteen provinces, and there are Dezhuang hot pot branches in each geographically important city, which is also the intelligence station of Jinyiwei in various places.

At present, Jinyiwei's intelligence network is divided into four branches, namely: Tiandi Xuanhuang, corresponding to the reconnaissance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, rogues, officials, and gentry, each of which is divided into 12 cadre branches, corresponding to 12 important regions in the country, and the teams below the districts are then subdivided, and the teams are grouped below........

Everyone has a unique code, as the leader of this huge intelligence network, Li Tingbiao, his code name is "Uncle Cousin".

On 23 February, the army of the Yongwei Battalion entered the territory of Suzhou, and Li Tingbiao hurried from the city and handed a sorted out document to Zhu Cihong in the dragon chariot.

Zhu Cihong, who was originally lying down and resting, sat up violently after reading it, and said loudly: "What a bunch of national moths!" ”

I only heard that the corruption of officials at the end of the dynasty was particularly bad, but I didn't know that the reality was more cruel than the rumors, and the officials of the herdsmen in these places took money from the common people, and their methods were done, and the hearts were vicious, and the names were ridiculous, which was really eye-opening!

At this time, outside the city of Suzhou, the civil and military officials of Suzhou, such as the governor and the garrison, as well as some squires and elders, have been waiting outside the city gate for a long time.

Listening to the roar of the earth in the distance, all the officials were taken aback, only to see that there were boundless tens of thousands of troops around the Qincha guard of honor striding forward, they did not deliberately step hard, the roar was actually the sound of tens of thousands of troops stepping on the ground in unison.

Such a strong army, I don't know how many times stronger than the guards of Fengyang Eight Guards, no wonder they can be tough with the Tartars, it is said that the Tartars are much stronger than the Liukou's combat effectiveness.

Seeing that the army was getting closer and closer, the officials of Suzhou immediately cleaned up their chaotic mood and began to kneel on both sides of the city gate to greet the Qincha team, and shouted: "Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Suzhou!" ”

What made the Suzhou officials curious was that the honor guard did not stop at all when they passed by the city gate, and no one talked to them, as if they did not exist........

"It's ....... My lord, what should we do? Can't get up? Suzhou Tongzhi asked.

Lord Zhizhou said: "This may be the rule of the heavenly family, let's kneel down and wait first, the official concludes that there will be an internal official who will summon me and others immediately, and by the way, I will ask for .......the honor money."

"Your Excellency is wise!" The officials praised.

After two quarters of an hour in the bitter cold wind, the Lord Zhizhou finally got up silently, and then entered the city without saying a word.......

As soon as Zhu Cihong arrived in Suzhou, he stayed in the state office, and he didn't see any of the officials in Suzhou, so these officials were panicked, and they didn't know what it meant, so they sent their families to wander around the city and inquire about the gossip everywhere.

Zhu Cihong didn't rush to do it, he was waiting for the intelligence and evidence that Long Xiang didn't collect at night, killing people, killing people convincingly, so that he could kill cool!

However, he was not idle, Zhu Cihong ordered on the same day to let the governor of Suzhou prepare 3,000 stone grain and grass for the army to continue to go south, but after waiting for a day, Zhizhou only prepared 500 stone grain and grass, and he has been crying poor there.

On the afternoon of the second day, Zhu Cihong ordered that all officials in Suzhou City, regardless of martial arts, should go to the state government to report by name.

The longest civil official in the state city is from the Zhizhou of the Five Grades, followed by the Tongzhi, a number of personnel, and a number of judges......

The military generals are garrisons, as well as local officials at all levels of the Wei Command Division, such as the four people who are in command of the four people, and the two people who are in charge of the five products, as well as the experience, the governor, and so on.

A large group of civil and military officials in the state city stood in front of the state yamen waiting to be summoned, and many wanted to catch a ride on the crown prince's team.

Zhu Cihong sat in the quiet state hall of the state, seemingly calm, but his heart was extremely angry, after the two days of Jinyiwei and Long Xiang's investigation, the degree of corruption of local officials was beyond his imagination, all kinds of officials and gentry colluded, encroached on fertile land, and bullied the market!

"Order, all officials will report according to their rank!"

On both sides of the lobby, heavily armed East Palace guards stood on both sides, from the lobby to the yamen, solemn and quiet.

Suzhou Zhizhou tidied up his clothes and was the first to enter the lobby, which was the first time he stood in his daily office to report his name......

"Minister, Suzhou Zhizhou ......."

"Take it!" Zhu Cihong shouted suddenly.

The guards of the East Palace on both sides of the lobby immediately pounced and pressed Zhizhou to the ground, making his face pale with fright.

Zhizhou hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, what does this mean?" What is the sin of the minister? ”

Zhu Cihong said coldly: "Let him shut up!" ”

The two Donggong guards let the official question and shout, and directly took off their official uniforms, tied them up and threw them aside, seeing that he was still shouting, one of the Donggong guards snapped a big mouth and pumped it over, until they learned that the state was full of blood and vomited blood, and even two big yellow teeth flew out.

"Go on!"

Seeing this situation, the officials standing outside the lobby were so frightened that they could only enter the lobby one by one according to their rank and rank and report their names.

Wu Zhong stood beside Zhu Cihong, holding a roster in his hand, whenever an official came in to report, he would compare it on the roster according to his name, and when he saw the name of the official marked in advance, he would shout: "Take it!" ”

In the end, eighty percent of the officials who ate the imperial grain in the state city were arrested, and only a few people were still incorruptible, and the amount of corruption was less than sixty taels.

After the roll call, Zhu Cihong transferred 1,000 sergeants from the Yongwei battalion and cooperated with Jinyiwei to start raiding the house.

Groups of sergeants armed with firearms began to appear in the streets and alleys of Suzhou City, and began to raid the homes of dozens of civil and military officials who had committed crimes.

Some wealthy businessmen secretly looked at their own upstairs, beating their chests one by one, and many of their fields were listed in the names of officials for tax exemption, and now that the officials have fallen, their fields will be confiscated........

After raiding the house, Jin Yiwei began to raid the warehouses and shops under the names of these officials, from inside the city to outside the city, and all the fields and properties were confiscated!

The people who learned about it through various gossip were excited, clapping their hands one by one, and some even bought fireworks and firecrackers at a high cost to celebrate the event.
