Chapter 270: Rubbing and shuffling
The fat and thin official didn't know that his arrest this time was a turning point in his life.
This time I came to Fengyang, before the people arrived, the local officials and gentry were already jumping into the air, and the few days after entering the city made everyone in danger for these officials.
But Zhu Youxiao didn't care, just like the last time he went to the southwest to fight in order to quell the chaos, did I really come down this time to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to play like Qianlong?
Isn't it to comb through the place and get into the game in person?
Of course, although he entered the game in person, Zhu Youxiao did not come out in person, this time he just watched from the sidelines.
The prison department inspected Yueming Building and received a report from someone.
As for who this person is, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the prison department can come up with the testimony that is exposed, which can be checked in the name of justice.
The evidence of embezzlement of disaster relief money was found in Yueming Building, and it has been handed over to the Soldiers and Horses Division, and the matter has risen to a big case of fornication and robbery of disaster relief money.
It's one thing to say it's opaque, it's another thing to have it.
The Soldiers and Horses Division seized the Yueming Building, and there will always be some tricky dignitaries, and at this time, the factory guards are needed.
In short, the whole thing was controlled by Zhu Youxiao in secret, but on the surface, it was the judicial yamen and factory guards of the imperial court who were in confrontation with local powerful forces.
The emperor is in Fengyang, and the local judicial yamen, as well as the factory guards and "big shots" who come with him, must behave well and be proactive, in order to be rewarded.
Although the local power and gentry are deeply rooted, they are still too tender compared to the imperial power...
The news that the Department of Prisons and the Division of Soldiers and Horses seized the Yueming Tower and arrested a large number of dignitaries and scholars soon spread throughout the entire Fengyang Mansion.
There is another very interesting thing here, it is said that the place where the prison department found the evidence is very close to Yan Rongxuan, the prefect of Fengyang, Chen Kangwei, the governor of Suzhou, and the private room where Zhou Yi, the governor of Fengyang.
It's because it's too close, the Prison Division has to suspect that the three of them are suspected of colluding with each other, and after the Soldiers and Horses Division came, they also felt that they had to be dealt with carefully.
It is said that these three masters originally wanted to make trouble, but as soon as they went out, they saw a noble son dressed in white, but they all wilted, and without saying a word, they were tied up by the Soldiers and Horses.
As for the identity of this noble son, there are different opinions in the market.
Some say that it is the Emperor of the Apocalypse who paid a private visit to deter corrupt officials and corrupt officials while talking and laughing, and some say that this is a certain person with a prominent net worth who came to Fengyang with the imperial driver.
After a few days of hard work, a few well-known stories began to circulate among the people.
Yan Rongxuan, Chen Kangwei, and Zhou Yi were all rudely thrown into a cell by the Soldiers and Horses, where in addition to the three of them, there were more than two dozen other prisoners.
Chen Kangwei was the youngest in rank, and Suzhou, where the accident occurred, was also his jurisdiction, so he looked at the other two apologetically at this time and sighed:
"Futai, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have come to you to talk about this kind of thing."
Fengyang Governor Zhou Yi is a governor of a place after all, and the officialdom has been up and down for many years, so he has expected this kind of thing, he is a little tired, and he has no meaning of reproach, so he lowered his head and said:
"What else is there to say about this? Wait for the results! ”
Yan Rongxuan was a violent temper, and he kicked the wall angrily.
As a prefect of his own house, he is happy and boundless in his free life, so why do you have to embezzle the silver money for disaster relief for these tens of thousands of taels of silver.
He has 10,000 regrets about getting to this step in the field today.
The people in the same room, although they were all arrested, all complained and regretted, but listening to these three chatting, they all felt that they had a very high status.
Before coming in, it should be three officials!
Seeing Yan Rongxuan kicking the wall, a group of people laughed for a while and looked at each other, they didn't think they could go out anyway, so it was better to play tricks with them.
Several people sneered at him:
"It's very temperamental, why don't you dare to make trouble with the people of the Terracotta Division before you come in?"
"Terracotta is a fart!"
Yan Rongxuan was not a little afraid, and said unashamedly:
"Here, there is our governor of Fengyang!"
"Is that the money you embezzled for disaster relief?"
When the other prisoners heard this, their faces changed suddenly, and even those who were going to watch the play looked at them with bad intentions, and asked in a deep voice:
"I heard that these new arrests of them are all related to the shortage of money for disaster relief in Suzhou some time ago, and I am afraid that they will be greedy!"
"Uncle, I hate these dog officials the most!"
As soon as they heard that these three officials had come in because of this matter, the prisoners in the cell were suddenly furious, and a few of them had killed people on their hands, and they directly punched Yan Rongxuan in the chest.
Yan Rongxuan was a civil official after all, but he felt a sharp pain in his chest, leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, and couldn't even speak.
Someone was about to step forward, so frightened that Yan Rongxuan hugged his head and shrank to a corner, but it was the prison inspector of the prison department who heard the news, rushed with a stick, and shouted:
"What are you shouting about?"
"You are all felons in the imperial court, none of you can escape, and if you shout again, you will be chained and shackled!"
"Master Ma-" A prisoner came to the fence and said with a smile:
"These three officials are all dog officials who embezzle the people's life-saving money, anyway, the court wants to deal with it, so just give us a beating to get angry!"
The patrol Ding's surname is Ma, so he is called Ma Ye.
He rolled his eyes, leaned against the edge of the fence, looked at the three lost souls inside, and sighed a few times: "What, it's all wilted now, right?" ”
"Dog officer!"
The patrol shook a mouthful of spittle, and smiled viciously when he thought about it:
"Don't kill them, the lives of these three dog officials are useful behind the government, and the people are happy to see them beheaded."
"That's nature, Ma Ye is easy to go!"
The prisoners sent the inspector away with a smile, turned their heads to look at the three senior officials, and some rolled up their sleeves and said:
"This one shouts the most, I'm afraid it will hurt people the most, beat him first!"
......
On the street, Liu Gongzi, who was in Yueminglou before, was being chained and paraded through the streets.
Seeing that the people who used to show off their might and did all the bad things now ended up like this, the people of Fengyang shouted that God opened their eyes.
An old man had tears in his eyes and threw a stone hard, but it was still off, and he almost fell to the ground.
When a middle-aged official saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said with a smile:
"You can always take it easy, you have to watch this wicked person be paraded through the streets by our government and brought to justice."
The old man remembered that his daughter who had been taken into Liu's Mansion two years ago and had not been heard from since, was even more emotional, and asked:
"I heard that there are a lot of criminals this time, and they have all been caught?"
"Not really! Some dignitaries and dignitaries who are difficult to deal with have been escorted to Beijing by the factory guards, and those who were escorted away overnight last night were afraid that their people would gather to make trouble! ”
As he spoke, he also kicked Liu Gongzi and asked him to continue walking.
The people in the neighborhood were very curious, and asked one sentence at a time, because this servant had also been despised by those rich children, his attitude was quite polite, and he must answer every question.
From the mouth of this official, many people know how big the matter is this time.
The Prison Division, the Soldiers and Horses Division, the Liu Mansion, the Zhao Family, and the local big families with names and surnames, nearly half of them were copied this time.
But who knew that there were so many women who had lost their footing in the mansions of these big families, and in the Liu Mansion alone, the Soldiers and Horses Division rescued more than 30 women.
When they were rescued, they were all glazed over, huddled in the firewood room, dirty and messy, and unclothed, and even the soldiers felt hateful when they saw it.
If the emperor hadn't come this time, he would have told them to continue their rampage.
Also caught together were Yan Rongxuan, the prefect of Fengyang, Chen Kangwei, the governor of Suzhou, and Zhou Yi, the governor of Fengyang.
The local officials have undergone great changes, and the post of governor of Fengyang and other places has been directly cut, and the governor of Nanzhili has since become a fixed position, and he is also in charge of Fengyang Mansion.
There is also Suzhou, and there are already Tiqi galloping over to convey the official document of arresting and searching people.
Presumably in a few days, there will be a burst of chickens and dogs jumping over there, but this chaos is necessary, and if it is not chaotic this time, there will be no stability in the future.
