Chapter 91: The Case Is Revealed
Fuyuan County is in the west of Pan County, and the distance between the two counties is only fifty or sixty miles.
Although they are on the same official road, the level of economic development is very different. Fuyuan County is rich in coal resources and has developed coal trade, and its fiscal revenue is second to none among all counties.
Although the county seat of Fuyuan County is not large, there are 20 or 30 deacons in the county government, and there are as many as 70 or 80 deacons, which is more than double that of ordinary county-level deacons.
In the Fuyuan County Ya, after letting the personal guards take over the security affairs of the county office, Li Yi immediately summoned the county deacons and others to give a lecture.
After enumerating the crimes of Fei Yin and others, he instructed everyone to temporarily settle down, take care of the affairs of the county, and resume normal operation after Lu Mian took office.
Next, He Shoujie personally led people to interrogate Fei Yin and others.
Although all kinds of punishment methods were exhausted, Fei Yin knew that death was coming, but he gritted his teeth and did not open his mouth.
There was no way, He Shoujie chose the breakthrough on Wang San again.
After more than an hour of torture, Wang San, a guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, finally can't stand it.
had to confess one after another Fei Yin's many bad deeds of corrupting the law and oppressing the people.
The ills have finally come to light.
Only now did Li Yi know that this Fei Yin was originally a butcher on the street in Fuyuan County, because he knew hundreds of words, and he was also engaged in the business of covering word lawsuits, he was a greedy master who bent the law.
Later, he bribed the former county magistrate with money and climbed to the position of the county chief bookkeeper.
Since Sun Decheng, the former county magistrate, was arrested and imprisoned, he has naturally temporarily acted as the governor of Fuyuan County.
Fei Yin, who was already lawless, once he had the power in his hands, he intensified his exploitation of the rich people.
What is shocking is that in order to obtain huge profits from coal mines, this Fei Yin actually colluded with the local billionaire He Million.
Why millions of privately mined coal provide protection, support He million to expand the mining area, and privately dig indiscriminately, never with the approval of the higher-level government and the consent of the local people.
When the common people objected, through detention and torture, brutal crackdowns and other means, many merchants and northbound merchants in Fuyuan County were brutalized, resulting in the destruction and displacement of hundreds of families, but they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Moreover, Fei Yin also made hundreds of thousands of dollars from local mining revenues every year in the form of eating dry shares.
You must know that this amount is equivalent to two years of tax revenue in Fuyuan County, and this guy's appetite is really not small!
Moreover, after Wang San's confession, in order to help He Million seize other people's rich coal mines, Fei Yin once sent someone to pretend to be a robber and brutally killed the local businessman Lou Shichen and his family.
In addition, there are such heinous acts as killing miners, forcibly occupying and demolishing people's houses, and arbitrarily detaining and beating people.
Wang San also pointed out that it was a semi-open secret that most of the county's officials, deacons, and even government officials held shares in the coal mines.
Therefore, those private coal mines are where their best interests lie.
If anyone touches their interests, they will retaliate at any cost, even at the cost of death.
So it's not uncommon to kill a few people in Fuyuan County.
At this time, many ordinary people heard that Fei Yin had been brought to justice, and they all beat gongs and drums to come to the county government to express their gratitude.
Moreover, there are still many people rushing to accuse and expose the crimes of Fei Yin and his comrades to the government, and it seems that this Fuyuan County is really the source of crime.
According to the information obtained, Li Yi immediately interrogated in detail, and after confirming that the situation was true, he sent his own soldiers and some officials and even strong men who were not involved in the case to arrest the people involved in the case everywhere.
Dozens of coal mine bosses and officials, including He Million, were arrested and put in the county jail, where they were temporarily kept under close supervision by their own soldiers to wait for further trial.
When it was almost afternoon, Lu Mian hurried to the Fuyuan County Ya.
Li Yi did not delay at all, and immediately announced the appointment of him as the magistrate of Fuyuan County, and he was in charge of the affairs of Fuyuan County, responsible for investigating and handling the major cases of Fei Yin, He Million and others.
Lu Mian is a decent person, has a strong sense of responsibility, and is very familiar with civil affairs, so he is the best candidate to serve as the magistrate of Fuyuan County.
He is responsible for investigating Fei Yin and He Million, and Li Yi is still relatively relieved.
At the same time, releasing Lu Mian is equivalent to sending him to Ningzhou, who is familiar with the inside of the hungry population, so as not to reveal the identities of the three hundred and sixty orphans, which is Li Yi's own little calculation.
However, this time Fei Yin's big case involved too many people, and the officials of Fuyuan County have already gone to eight out of ten, and there are four or five small officials without titles, who really can't support the entire affairs of Fuyuan County.
It looks like it's time for a complete overhaul here.
Li Yi asked He Shoujie to immediately send someone to Ningzhou to inform Lin Yi and Qian Shitang, and asked them to select a group of deacons of all kinds and quickly rush to Fuyuan County, temporarily responsible for managing the affairs of Fuyuan County, and then select local personnel to fill them later.
Then let Lu Mian notify the townships to transfer some young and strong men who are strong, honest, and have a good reputation to serve as county officials.
In addition, in order to facilitate Lu Mian to fully exercise his powers, Li Yi left him 40 personal soldiers, which he freely dispatched and used.
After arranging all this, two days have passed, so I have to rest here for two nights temporarily.
Early in the morning of the third day, after Li Yi gave Lu Mian some more earnest instructions, he took He Shoujie, Lian Jun and 60 other personal soldiers to prepare to continue the inspection tour of various counties in Yunnan.
However, what Li Yi never expected was that as soon as he walked out of the post house in Fuyuan County, countless Fuyuan villagers and elders had gathered outside the door, and the front of the post house was surrounded by water.
Seeing Li Yi come out, many people immediately rushed up, led by several white-bearded township and county elders, tremblingly stepped forward and handed it to Li Yi with a large bowl of water and wine filled with coarse porcelain.
One of them, a gray-haired but energetic old man, held a large porcelain bowl in his hand, and his eyes were full of tears of excitement.
Approached with emotion: "Since Li Dashuai came to our Yunnan, Yunnan seems to have changed, the people can see it clearly, they all understand who is really good to us, and they all feel hopeful." ”
"Although we still have a Fei Yin fish and meat township in Fuyuan, we ordinary people know that the good days of this guy who bullies men and women are coming to an end."
"Sure enough, the marshal saw thousands of miles, and as soon as he arrived in Fuyuan County, he punished corrupt officials and local bullies with thunderous means, and the people were happy in their hearts, and we will have the bottom in our hearts in the days to come. If it weren't for the big boss who punished Fei Yin, He Million and other bullies, we don't know when our hard days will be over! ”
"However, there is one more thing that cannot be left unmentioned, that is, in our Fuyuan County, the root cause of the evil of coal has not been eradicated. I don't know how many evils this black coal has bred for it, how many wives have been separated, how many people have been homeless, and many people have even died. Pushing the root cause, this coal has made the whole county restless, it is simply the culprit! ”
"Although the first evil has been punished this time, as long as coal mining is still allowed, this matter of conflict of interests will not be over. Therefore, we people in Hexian County hope that Dashuai can issue a ban, and from now on, no one will be allowed to open mines again. ”
"Only in this way can our lives go on peacefully! Dashuai, you must fulfill this wish of the people! ”
The surrounding people also chimed in loudly and said, "Yes! Dashuai, you must fulfill the wishes of the people! ”
Seeing that the crowd was so boiling, Li Yi was a little dazed.
