The extermination of the Cao Gang caused a huge shock, for the Cao Yun Governor's Mansion, this was a very successful operation, but for Zheng Xunrui himself, a qiē has just begun, he came to Huai'an Mansion City, as the Governor of Cao Yun, this is very advantageous, involving Zheng Jiajun Many things can be started, and most of these things are not possible for him to do in Shaanxi, so he must grasp every opportunity and do a good job of planning every step, just say that this matter of exterminating the Cao Gang is very easy at the beginning, But if you want to end perfectly, it will not be easy.

Once the Cao Gang is completely wiped out, the civil management of Cao Yun has become a huge hollow, relying only on the government to govern, it is far from enough, Zheng Xunrui is very clear about this, the next Cao Yun will continue, the first gang of Cao grain, only 100,000 stones, and 900,000 stone of Cao grain, must be transported to the north and the capital before November.

If you think that you have exterminated the Cao Gang and caught the officials who are too greedy for ink, you will think that everything is fine, and the Cao Yun will be able to go smoothly, and the burden of the people will really be reduced, which is a big mistake, Xu Wanghua and Wen Kun have said that once there is no alternative civil force to manage the Cao Yun well, then the next Cao Yun will fall into the chaos of fighting each other, after all, the huge interests are in front of you, and there will be many crazy people who pounce on it.

The matter of levying grain will also fall into another round of chaos, unless there are ironclad rules to restrict the local government and officials, otherwise the successor will also fall in the face of interests.

The most critical problem is that the shady curtain behind Caoyun has not really been removed. That is, those people behind the scenes are still safe and sound, they are the scholars and merchants in the south, etc., they will secretly stir up trouble, stir up problems at one end and one end of the matter, so that the Caoyun Governor's Office can not deal with it, so that it delays the Caoyun.

Entering November. Some places in the northern section of the Grand Canal may freeze, and the transportation will be stagnant, waiting for the next year to break the ice, before it can begin, and the remaining time is less than two months, and within two months, one million stone of grain must be transported, which is a task that cannot be delayed. Zheng Xunrui doesn't have much time, he must be in the shortest possible time. Settle the most difficult problems, or you will be left with huge hidden dangers.

There must be a breakthrough, Zheng Xunrui is also fully prepared, otherwise he would not be so decisive, of course, everything needs to be done hard, and it is definitely not okay to stay in words.

This time, Cao Yun can only rely on the soldiers of the Zheng family. More than 30,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army are distributed at various wharves along the Caoyun line. As well as the government, they are responsible for maintaining the order of the Cao Yun, but this is only an expedient measure, and they can only complete the Cao Yun this time, and the Cao Yun at the beginning of the year must return to normal. It is impossible for Zheng Jiajun to continue to engage in the affairs of Cao Yun.

The officials who were captured in various places, as well as the gang leaders and backbone personnel of the Cao Gang, were escorted to Huai'an Mansion City one after another.

Zheng Xunrui ignored the captured officials for the time being, and from the evidence he had so far, he only needed to think of a way. It can make these officials die without a place to be buried, and the Caoyun Governor's Mansion can directly deal with civil officials above the fifth grade, those officials such as Zhizhou and County, Zheng Xunrui can directly deal with it if he has enough evidence and he admits the crime, and finally report it to the Ministry of Officials, and the more difficult thing is that the few prefects who have been captured must implement the evidence of the crime and send it to the three divisions of the capital to deal with it, but this is not too difficult to do, Zheng Jinhong and others will definitely be able to do it.

Zheng Xunrui is concerned about the many gang leaders of the Cao Gang, especially the gang leader of the Shanyin Gang, as well as several businessmen and scholars who were captured at the same time, you must know that these people were captured in the Donglin Academy in Huai'an, the meaning of this is not ordinary, this is also the real breakthrough that Zheng Xunrui has been trying to find.

Zheng Jinhong, Xu Wanghua, Wen Kun and others are interrogating those officials according to his intentions, and in just five days, they have a lot of evidence, and the account books that have been seized have become ironclad evidence of these officials' greed.

These officials, who seem to be showing off their power on weekdays, are actually mostly soft bones, and after encountering things, they can't bear it at all, and in a short period of time, they have said everything, and they are afraid that they will not be clear, and these confessions involve a large number of other officials, and these have become ironclad evidence in the hands of the Governor's Office.

However, Xu Wanghua and the others did not move the Cao Gang for the time being, because this was specially ordered by Zheng Xunrui.

Xu Wanghua, Wen Kun and others have sorted out some of the information, which are all involved in the Cao Gang, as well as many scholars and businessmen in the south, and some even involve high-ranking officials in the capital, how to deal with these things must be decided by Zheng Xunrui.

Of course, the information reflected in these materials is top secret at present.

What made Zheng Xunrui gasp was that the Zheng Jiajun seized more than 30 million taels of silver from the Cao Gang that was exterminated, which is equal to the sum of the taxes paid by the Ming Dynasty in a year, and also seized a lot of weapons from the Cao Gang, and even artillery, which shows that the strength of the Cao Gang is by no means ordinary, and it also shows that after so many years of Cao Yun, the people do not know how much they have been exploited and extorted.

On the third day of October, the second batch of Cao boats set off, and the grain transported reached 400,000 stones, and the escorts along the road were all soldiers of the Zheng Jiajun, who already knew about the affairs of Huai'an, and this time they were very honest, and did not dare to make any moves, after all, they had not gotten too much news, and they had not made substantial contact with each other. If you count the amount of money you earn, you may have more money than before.

For the sake of silver, who will find it boring.

After the second batch of Cao grain was delivered, Zheng Xunrui breathed a sigh of relief, and he was about to start personally interrogating the gang leaders of the Cao Gang.

The first Cao gang leader to be interrogated was the leader of the Suqian Gang.

The Suqian Gang is among the top ten gangs of Caoyun, and its strength belongs to the downstream.

The leader of the Suqian gang is a middle-aged man in his forties, Zhang's five big and three thick, it seems that he is a person who runs the rivers and lakes, when facing Zheng Xunrui, this gang leader quickly collapsed, he never imagined that the governor would personally interrogate, so in a short period of time, he said a lot of people behind the scenes, including some scholars and businessmen who joined the gang, these people obtained benefits from the Cao Gang, and also used all their relationships to solve problems for the Cao Gang.

As for the local officials in Suqian, almost all of them fell, and in addition, the commanders in charge of Wei Cao, thousands of households, and hundreds of households also gained a lot of benefits from the Cao Gang.

The confession of the Suqian gang leader is similar to the situation explained by the local officials, and it also fully confirms the investigation of Yang He, Wang Xiaoer and others, including the many situations mentioned by A Bingye, Caoyun has become an out-and-out black industrial chain, and all parties get benefits from it, they are like leeches attached to the people, constantly absorbing the blood of the people.

Zheng Xunrui was the first to interrogate the leader of the Suqian Gang in preparation for the subsequent interrogation.

After Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Wang Xiaoer, Wen Kun and others entered the Donglin Book House, Zheng Xunrui opened his mouth with a stern face.

"After such a long interrogation, you have also obtained a large amount of materials, it can be said that you have mastered most of the shady scenes of Caoyun, and I want to remind you of two things, the first thing, no matter what the situation is, it is not allowed to leak out, and it is not possible to let the outside world know the slightest, this is the best weapon we have in our hands, the reason why those people behind the shady scenes of Caoyun dare not do it is that they don't know our details, and when they really understand, they have no chance."

"The second thing, the handling of officials and Cao gang personnel, can not be too big, just grasp the main one, although these people have committed crimes against the people, but that is because of the whole atmosphere, if everyone is punished, it will make more people rebel, we punish the first evil, we can comfort the hearts of many people, and then we have to establish a system, once the system is established, and then the people who make trouble, then severely punish them."

Zheng Xunrui said these words, in everyone's expectations, in fact, in the process of interrogation, everyone also found a problem, that is, there are too many people involved, if they are all investigated, it is an endless thing, it will involve most of the energy of the governor's mansion, don't think about doing other things at all, so there must be a focus on disposal, that is, the leader and the person behind the secret control.

However, there are still strange things that make everyone feel strange, that is, Zheng Xunrui has not taken action against some scholars and businessmen who have emerged for the time being, and I don't know what the reason is.

Xu Wanghua vaguely guessed something, he felt that Zheng Xunrui would definitely do it, but it might not be the arrest or beheading that everyone imagined, maybe Zheng Xunrui would use this evidence to directly accuse most of the scholars and businessmen in the south, so that these scholars and businessmen would obey and do things according to the requirements of the government, instead of secretly controlling the government upside down, which is the real purpose.

Besides, the social status of scholars and businessmen is not ordinary, and it really takes most of the businessmen in the south, as well as some famous scholars, to blame, I am afraid that it will not end well in the end, after all, these people have a good reliance in the court, and moving these people is tantamount to completely offending the power behind these people.
