Outside Fangshan County, among the nearly 2,000 thieves, identity screening has come out.

Nearly half of them are ordinary people in Fangshan County or the surrounding areas, who have been coerced by thieves, and some of them are returned refugees who have been to Beijing. Among the remaining people, most of them were thieves from Dafangshan, and a small number of them heard the news and went to them to make a fortune.

The Yongwei battalion escorted them to the county seat, and the vast scale naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding villages, and there were Jinyi guards who came to the door to notify them, so early in the morning, all villages also sent people to the city to see the situation.

No, by the time Zhang Mingwei began to openly try the case, there was already a crowd of people outside the county office.

Not to mention anything else, just the identity of the commander of Jinyiwei and the title of Duke of Xingguo are estimated to have never existed in this county, and it is estimated that there will be no things in the future.

At this time, on the county yatang, there were soldiers of the Yongwei battalion standing on the outside, and the captain of the Jinyi guard standing on the inside, which was far from being comparable to the ordinary yamen.

Under the plaque hanging high by the mirror, Zhang Mingwei, the commander of the Jinyi Guard and the refugee resettlement envoy of Gyeonggi, was wearing a python suit and held the main position, and the two Jinyi Guard captains arrived in front of the hall with the Fangshan County Commander who had taken off his official hat.

Seeing the opening of the main play, all the people who were whispering fell silent.

"Dare to ask my lord, I don't know what the crime of the subordinate is that he was treated like this?" Fangshan County Ling obviously knew that things would not be good, so he had the courage to defend himself.

Zhang Mingwei listened, and shouted with a cold face: "In this county, the governance is not good, so that the people have to leave their hometowns and go to Beijing to survive, can you be guilty?" ”

Hearing this, Fangshan County Ling was a little dumbfounded, but he was obviously unwilling to admit his guilt, and immediately defended: "If there is chaos today, this kind of thing is not only in this county!" Besides, thieves are rampant, and there is no rain for a long time, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, what can the lower officials do? ”

Hearing this, many people in the crowd of onlookers looked at the county order with sympathy in their eyes, because they felt that the county order was reasonable.

"Sophistry!" Zhang Mingwei heard this, sneered and said, "Don't talk about the corpse vegetarian meal, the refugees return to their hometowns, according to the law of imperial court resettlement, go to the city to take refuge, and find a way to live." Why don't you accept it? Don't tell me that you haven't received the court's order! Half of the tax exemption is to reduce the burden of the local people, and leaving the remaining half of the tax in the local government is to resettle the people for the local government, stabilize the situation, and not give thieves a chance. Don't you know? ”

Don't say what he said, many people in the crowd of onlookers didn't know. When I heard it, I was very surprised. And some people have heard about it, but they don't believe it at all. If this is the case, what should the court do? Therefore, they all think that this is a rumor.

"There are thieves outside, and the lower officials are afraid that there will be thieves in it to steal the city. For the sake of the people of the county, I have to do this ruthlessly! After the initial nervousness, Fangshan County returned to normal a little, and hurriedly replied with a reason that had been prepared.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately ordered: "Pass Ma San!" ”

Ma San, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and told them about the situation in Majiagou, so as to refute the possibility that there were thieves among them who were slandered by the Fangshan County Order!

After he finished speaking, Zhang Mingwei stared at Fangshan County Ling coldly and shouted, "What do you have to say?" Take a step back and say, what's going on with the thieves outside, don't you count them in your heart? ”

Fangshan County Ling was taken aback when he heard it, and he had a bad feeling. Didn't he just arrive, and how did he seem to know it all?

He was thinking about it, but Zhang Mingwei ignored him, and shouted again: "Bring it up." ”

The crowd of onlookers was mostly city residents. To be honest, they actually have a good impression of the county decree's refusal to accept those outside the city.

At this time, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, although they don't get to this point, but it is normal to have similar thoughts.

But when they heard it, they heard that something seemed to be wrong, so they didn't say anything and continued to watch the follow-up.

When they saw the people in the hall clearly, many people couldn't help but exclaim: "Zhu Yuanwai! ”

In terms of influence, the foreign Fangshan County Order is really no match for Zhu Shiwen, who is the head snake of the land. On weekdays, if someone dares to offend the county order, they will definitely not dare to offend Zhu Shiwen.

You must know that in the past, in Fangshan County, whether it was local or foreign, as long as he went against Zhu Yuanwai, he would either be taken by the government, or he would be a thief or something, and there would be absolutely no good end. Over time, this deterrent came out.

So, they pricked up their ears and concentrated on listening to everything outside of Zhu Yuan.

What they never expected was that this Duke of the Ming Dynasty actually found out that the Dafang Mountain thieves had colluded with Zhu Yuanwai, not only this time the thieves were instructed by Zhu Yuanwai and others, but they also did not do dirty things for Zhu Yuanwai before!

Watching the people in the hall bring them one by one, there are Zhu Yuanwai's concubines, servants, and the head of the Dafang Mountain Thief, that is, Wu Heizi, the eldest brother of Zhu Yuanwai's concubine, confessed there, at this moment, they all recognized that Zhu Yuanwai actually ate it in black and white.

Slowly, the cause and effect are presented in front of everyone.

This incident on Fangshan's side was actually caused by the collusion of officials, gentry and thieves.

Those who are officials want to curry favor with the princes of the court and seek promotion.

The local squires, who not only wanted the benefits given by the imperial court, but also did not want to bear the corresponding responsibilities, also tried to seek grain fields for the common people.

Needless to say, thieves plundered property.

The onlookers understood this, and they were all very angry. The official gentry is like this, can the world not be chaotic? What are ordinary people in their eyes?

Zhang Mingwei did not procrastinate, invited out the royal flag, and announced on the spot:

Fangshan County order, cut and decide!

Zhu Shiwen, raid the house, and make a decision!

Wu Heizi, the head of the Dafang Mountain thief, is decided!

Some of the other participating squires, as well as other thieves in Dafangshan, also raided their homes or were exiled according to the severity of the circumstances.

It can be said that almost all of the gentry in Fangshan County were involved and were uprooted by Zhang Mingwei. There is also the old nest of Dafangshan, and someone was also sent to serve it.

With the army in hand, there is this unscrupulous benefit.

Wu Heizi and the others, because they knew that Zhu Shiwen still wanted to plot their lair while they were out, and kill his sister-in-law, so not only did they cooperate with the confession, but even their lair was actually brought up by themselves with the Yongwei camp. If nothing else, just to take revenge on those officials and gentry who are more black-hearted than them, and of course, to give Zhang Mingwei a way to live for their families.

Under the power of Zhang Mingwei's thunder, he used a quick knife to cut through the chaos, and it only took three days to deal with the matter of Fangshan County.

Princess Kunxing witnessed all this, but she still had questions, so she asked Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, judging from all kinds of signs, there must be something wrong with Jingshi Chengguogong, but we have no evidence, and that Zhu Youfu doesn't speak, what should we do?" ”

That's right, Zhu Youfu fell into the hands of Jinyiwei again, but he didn't confess anything, just said that he was ordered to go to his relatives.

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei sneered, he couldn't help him without evidence? As long as you have a goal, it's all right!

At this time, suddenly a person broke in from outside, but it was Wang Erbiao, the eunuch who was very familiar with them, with an anxious face, and at a glance, he knew that something big had happened to the Jingshi!
