Hai Rui has followed Tang Yi in the city for several years, and he has learned a lot of experience from Tang Yi, the most critical of which is to occupy the righteousness and seize the commanding heights. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Tang Yi's best thing is to draw big cakes, fool a large group of people to follow him, pull one faction and fight another, and divide the ironclad southeast in a daze, and use the big households who control the land and workshops to kill the big surnames on the sea.

How can the successful experience not be emulated, Hai Rui knows in his heart that he suddenly threw out the acres of clear fields, which is something that offends all the gentry and will provoke a strong backlash, and the first thing he did was to check the backlog of old cases over the years, and to give the people justice.

It is the duty of every magistrate to judge right from wrong and uphold justice, and no one can find fault with it.

Hai Jui ordered a thorough investigation, which is a great deal at this time, and there are as many as 50,000 or 60,000 cases in the backlog of cases in the various prefectures of Nanzhili, of which there are crimes in the two prefectures of Susong, eighty or ninety percent are land and property disputes, and the remaining more than one percent are also commercial conflicts, and as for the cases of homicide and injury, the number is negligible.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that for more than ten years, the industry and commerce of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have prospered, and the business has become bigger and bigger, with workshops built everywhere, land annexed everywhere, countless workers employed, equity disputes, and commercial conflicts.

However, the number of local officials in Susong is limited, and the traditional officials are not proficient, so they throw aside when they encounter financial disputes, or simply thin the mud, which has been delayed for a long time and has become a backlog of old cases.

On the other hand, they can do their best to solve cases of hurting people, especially murder cases.

After Hai Jui figured out the situation, he immediately opened an interrogation of these land disputes. The seaman's astonishing efficiency is also evident, he can handle an average of two or three hundred cases a day, sometimes even an astonishing seven hundred.

The number alone is not enough, and people say that the entrance of the yamen is open to the south, and if you have something to do, don't come in if you have no money. Hai Jui does not accept gifts, does not show favoritism, and specializes in upholding justice for the people, and in half a month, 3,000 cases have been decided, of which ninety out of five are won by ordinary people.

Among the 3,000 cases, there are more than 400 cases, which are directed at the Huating Xu family, accounting for almost one-sixth!

There are land grabbing, there are mergers and workshops, there are bullying and dominating the market, and there are hoarding...... The Xu family's means of accumulating wealth are endless, and there are so many that Hai Rui is dumbfounded.

Hai Rui investigated and cleaned up the case files of the government over the years, and touched the bottom of the Xu family again.

When it came out, everyone was dumbfounded. According to calculations, only Xu Jie's three sons, more than a dozen grandsons, and dozens of nephews and nephews, these core members of the Xu family, the land under their names adds up to 500,000 mu, including 180,000 mu of mulberry fields and 320,000 mu of farmland.

In addition, the Xu family also has a large number of family members, slaves, doormen, relatives and friends, and students...... Among them, Xu Jie's housekeeper has forty or fifty thousand acres of land, which is simply appalling!

"Zhenchuan Gong, if I remember correctly, in the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, until the first year of Longqing, Tang Ge Lao once checked the Xu family's land once, and didn't return most of it, why did he pay so much?" Hai Rui asked in surprise.

It is no one else who is called "Zhenchuan Gong", it is the famous poetry and literature that everyone has the light, this old literary is brilliant, but it is not smooth in the imperial examination, after the examination is lifted, he has fallen off the list eight times before and after, and he is sad to die. It wasn't until he was sixty years old that he was lucky enough to get into the top three jinshi.

However, since becoming an official, the career of Gui Youguang is smooth, the first time he was awarded an official, that is, the Jinan Mansion Push Official, after one term, he was transferred to Nanjing to take over the household department of Wailang, coinciding with the vacancy of Songjiang Mansion, the old man took over as the prefect of Songjiang at the age of sixty-four. In recent years, Songjiang has become an important place for the imperial court, and the prefect is generally high-matched, and he is a four-grade official.

That is to say, after four years of returning to the Guangzhong Jinshi, he got mixed up in a big red robe, and the speed is so fast that it can be called a demon!

Some people say that the old master has made a long friend, and it is God who has compensated him for most of his life's loneliness. Only Gui Youguang knows that it is all nonsense, there is only one real reason, he is from Suzhou, and he has a good fellow countryman, that is, today's Shoufu Tang Yi. Without this escort behind him, Gui Youguang is afraid that he won't even be able to mix with Jinshi.

Tang Yi promoted Gui Youguang, of course, not just learned one of his "Xiang Zhi Xuan Zhi" in his previous life, but Gui Youguang has been in the southeast for decades, has a great reputation, has a wide range of friends, and has nothing to know.

No, it's going to be used now.

Hai Jui is a divine sword, but someone needs to guide him where to cut it!

"Lord Zhongcheng, I did check a lot last time, and I returned a lot, but because I answered into the Kou, Tang Ge Lao hurriedly returned north, and then Wu Shilai was transferred to Jiangxi, and a lot of land that needed to be returned was shelved and not implemented. As a result, after Xu Ge Lao came back, the Xu family thought that they had a backer, and they became more and more reckless, they not only annexed the land, but also forcibly invested many silk villages and cotton cloth workshops into their names and merged them into their names. ”

Hai Rui darkened his face and asked, "Does Elder Xu Ge know?" ”

Gui Youguang hurriedly said: "Lord Zhongcheng, since Xu Jie went home, he doesn't ask about the world, he makes fun of his grandson, and he takes care of his old age, maybe he really doesn't know." ”

Hai Rui raised his head and sneered slightly, "I really don't know?" ”

"Alas!" Gui Youguang sighed helplessly, and could only tell the truth: "It is said that Xu Huating is a person, what can he hide from him?" Lord Zhongcheng, I have a few things that I shouldn't say, you see......"

"Let's talk about it!"

"More than two years ago, Xu Ge Lao was still the first assistant, Tang Ge Lao checked him, he was not afraid of power, plus the first emperor and today both value Tang Ge Lao, Xu Ge Lao can only suffer dumb losses. Right now, Xu Ge Lao has retreated to the forest, and Tang Ge Lao has entered the cabinet, if he insists on investigating, it will become a cruelty to the old ministers, and they will be killed completely, which is unkind and unjust...... It's hard to say! ”

Gui Youguang is bitter, if you continue to investigate like this, it will indeed be very unfavorable to Tang Yi, both of us are people promoted by Lord Tang, we can't make trouble for the boss, no matter how stunned you Hai Rui is, you can't know the severity.

It's just that Gui Youguang still doesn't understand, if he retreats easily, then it's not Hai Rui.

"Zhenchuan Gong, Lord Tang, he knows my Haigang Peak, since he dares to send me, he values my temperament, if he loses his courage, is it still Hai Rui?"

Good guy, this fighting spirit is even more high-spirited, and he is about to break through the sky!

"Tomorrow, take my card ticket, go to the Xu family to pick up people, and bring me the Xu family's housekeepers, family members, and slaves involved in the murder case and the case of encroachment on the acres of land."

Gui Youguang shuddered for a moment, this is not a small number, I am afraid that there will be as many as one or two hundred people, can Xu Jie agree? But Hai Rui didn't listen to his advice, what else could he do, Gui Youguang went out worriedly.

"Wait."

Gui Youguang was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned back, "My lord, have you changed your mind?" ”

"I just read a dossier, Xu Jie's second son Xu Kun encroached on a family of 200 acres of land, the victim sued, but was framed to death, Xu Kun sold their daughter's relatives to the Qinglou, does he still have the court law in his eyes, arrest him for me too!"

If you want to move the Xu family, Gui Youguang was stupid at that time.

……

In the hall of the Xu family, Sun boys and daughters, hundreds of people, a large area of black pressure, Xu Fan, Xu Kun, Xu Ying, and the three sons knelt in front of them, crying loudly.

"Dad, the second brother has never done anything to harm people's lives, Hai Rui just got a false accusation from a good singer, so he sent someone to arrest someone, where did he put our Xu family?" Xu Fan cried with a headache.

Others also wiped their tears, and the entire Xu family was miserable, not to mention how miserable it was.

Xu Jie sat on the Taishi chair, his face stiffened and he didn't say a word, but his face turned from blue to black.

Hate, really hate!

If you lose your power, you are a down-and-out phoenix, and no one takes herself seriously!

I knew this was the case, even if I fought to the death, I couldn't hand over the power?

Xu Jie was extremely remorseful, but there was no way.

The crutches in his hand kept knocking on the ground, and said sadly: "Don't be mourned, stay until I die, it's not too late for you to cry!" ”

In one sentence, Xu Fan was so frightened that he stopped his sorrow, he raised his head, and his face was full of tears.

"Dad, you have to come up with an idea!"

Xu Jie raised his head painfully, looked at the ceiling, and laughed and cried, "People are swords, I am fish and meat, what else can I think!" Not to mention arresting your second brother, when, throw your father in prison, open the knife and behead, it will be up to others! ”

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he got up trembling and walked back, desolate and miserable, and he couldn't stop it. In the eyes of Xu Fan and others, it was really like a mourning, as if the end was coming.

As the former first assistant, Xu Jie, whose protégés are all over the world, is he so capable?

Of course not, he was ousted from power, he had no power, and hard resistance was just hitting a stone with an egg, only by overcoming rigidity with softness and pretending to be pitiful can he attract the sympathy of public opinion and turn defeat into victory.

Xu Jie has been used to acting in his life, and he is not even willing to show his true face in front of his son. After sitting in the study for a while, he picked up pen and ink, wrote two letters, and sent them to his two disciples.

Zhao Zhenji wrote a letter, full of words of encouragement, let him work hard, display his ambitions, support Sheji, assist the Holy Monarch, and relieve the people from hanging upside down.

The second letter is for Zhang Juzheng, all full of grievances, telling how miserable and pitiful he is now. In addition to sending letters, Lao Xu also sent 30,000 taels of gold to Zhang Juzheng, and also let people spread the news, making it known to the world.

It's all about this, Xu Jie hasn't forgotten to get power, he knows that Zhao Zhenji is a gentleman, a gentleman can be bullied, the more he doesn't say it, the more Zhao Zhenji has to stand up for him.

As for Zhang Juzheng, it was not a gift at all, but a slap in the face, he wanted the world to see how miserable Xu Huating was, he had to kowtow to his disciples and beg for mercy.

By the way, he also provoked the contradiction between Zhang Juzheng and Zhao Zhenji, let them make trouble in the cabinet!

Sure enough, Xu Jie's letter was sent to the cabinet, and Zhao Zhenji couldn't sit still anymore, and directly found Shoufu's duty room, his face was dark, "Cunzhai Gong has contributed to Sheji, the evening scene is bleak, and people of insight in the world will be cold, can you come by Hai Ruihu." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng also came, and his face was also ugly, "Yuanfu, I have sealed the gold sent by the minister, and I am waiting for it to be released." As for what Hai Jui did, I fully support it, and we must investigate it to the end! ”

Good guy, and Zhao Zhenji are on the tip of the needle! (To be continued.) )
