After all, after more than two years of trial, the Wang Butcher case had already made the people of Lin'an County quite tired of it, so he wanted to stir up the stagnant water in Lin'an County.

Li Yuntian believed that there must be some details about the violent death of Wang Butcher that were still buried in the hearts of some people, so he had to find a way to get those people to speak.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, the best way to move the people is to let the people know that he has come to try the case in person, so that those who know can dispel their worries and then tell the truth.

For this reason, Li Yuntian is ready to use Zhang Gu to start a knife, Zhang Gu can be described as a tyrant in Lin'an County, and his local forces are intertwined, if you want the people of Lin'an County to dare to tell the truth, you must uproot Zhang Gu's forces, otherwise it will be useless to severely punish Zhang Gu, and the people of Lin'an County still dare not come out to testify.

Li Yuntian, as a dignified Ming Zhongwu King, it was too easy to find trouble with a small county government secretary, thinking that when he was the magistrate of Hukou County, he fought wits and courage with Zhang Youde, the county yahu secretary, and finally uprooted the power of the Zhang clan in Hukou County, which is still talked about by the people of Hukou County and even Jiujiang Mansion.

Therefore, Li Yuntian has more experience in dealing with this kind of local bully, and if he does not move, he will not move, and if he does, he will make a big move, so that the power of his clan will be wiped out, and only in this way can his influence in the local area be completely eradicated.

Zhang Gu did evil in Lin'an County and was unscrupulous, so Li Yuntian didn't need to deliberately find evidence of his crimes, and it was easy to do evil to him.

So on the afternoon of the next day, a group of errand officers came from the Zhejiang Inspectorate Division, and they were in a hurry all the way, and the leader was a five-grade servant of the Inspectorate Division, and they broke into the Lin'an County Government and arrested Zhang Gu.

Faced with the sudden scene, Zhang Gu was a little dazed in his mind, he didn't know what was going on, and he actually needed to bother a Zhengwupin servant to come and arrest him, he thought that he didn't have any handle in the hands of the inspector and the envoy, and there was Bai Dezhang on top of it.

"Zhang Gu, are you guilty?" After several servants escorted Zhang Gu to the servant surnamed Ma, Ma asked with a gloomy face.

"My lord, there is more than one crime for the lower officials, please make it clear." Zhang Gu suddenly felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, he was experienced in officialdom, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that Ma Yanshi, who was playing official with him, was trying to trouble him, how did he know what Ma Yanshi was here for.

"Hmph, it looks like you want to resist!" When Ma Yan heard this, he immediately sneered, and said to the messenger brought in the house, "Come on, take him to the backyard to be detained, and the official wants to see how long he will resist!" ”

"Big ...... My lord, Ken ...... It must have been a mistake...... Misunderstood, ...... Xia Guan is sure to ...... I really don't know what to do...... What have you done! Hearing this, Zhang Gu's face turned green with a brush, and he stammered.

Zhang Gu had already realized that Ma Yan was going to strictly investigate him, and a Zheng Wupin Shi personally led a team to thoroughly investigate the master book of a Zheng Jiupin, and made it clear what big basket he had stabbed this time, and Ma Yan Shi was ordered to come this time.

At the same time, Zhang Gu desperately recalled in his mind that he might have offended someone with a deep background, but he didn't have a clue when he thought about it, although he was arrogant to the people, but he was respectful to Shangguan, and it was impossible to do stupid things that offended Shangguan.

Before Zhang Gu could figure out what was going on, he had been dragged out by several wolf-like servants, and after putting on the shackles, he went straight to a side room in the backyard, and the queen ignored him.

When the officials and servants of the county government of Linhai County saw that Zhang Gu had been taken down by Ma Gu, they immediately jumped and panicked, secretly guessing that Zhang Gu had committed something, and even sent a servant according to the Inspectorate Department.

"Xiaguan Lin'an County Cheng Yang Wen visited Lord Shishi." Ma Yan was sitting and drinking tea in the backyard hall, and an errand brought in Yang Wen, who was wearing an official robe of the eighth grade, and Yang Wen hurriedly bowed down and saluted after seeing Ma Yan.

"This official received a report that Zhang Gu, the chief bookkeeper in your county government, violated the law and discipline and ran rampant in the township, I don't know if there is such a thing." Ma Baishi put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Yang Wen quietly and asked.

"My lord, the affairs in the county government are usually done by Master Zhang, so it is not clear whether he has any negligence in official business."

Yang Wenyan's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, it seemed that Zhang Gu was targeted by the people who were judged, and he would definitely be unlucky this time, so he bowed down and replied after a deep sigh, "However, Master Zhang's usual actions are a little impatient and reckless, which may make the people complain." ”

Although Yang Wen wanted to put Zhang Gu to death, he couldn't accuse Zhang Gu of all kinds of misdeeds to Ma Yanshi, otherwise wouldn't he have become a person who didn't report it, so he euphemistically described Zhang Gu's image of flying and domineering, and at the same time extracted himself from it.

"This official is here to thoroughly investigate Zhang Gu this time, you go to the county to post a notice and tell the people that if anyone has been bullied by Zhang Gu, come to the county government to complain." When Ma heard that the matter of the county government was actually decided by Zhang Gu, the master bookkeeper instead of Yang Wen, the county magistrate, he immediately understood what was going on, it seemed that Zhang Gu really had a few brushes that actually put Yang Wen in the air, and then quietly ordered Yang Wen.

"Xiaguan will do it." Yang Wen's brows furrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth squirmed to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and bowed to Ma Yanshi and said.

"By the way, this is a list made by this official, and you arrange for people to go with their subordinates to arrest people." Yang Wen was just about to turn around and leave, but Ma Yanshi suddenly remembered something, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to him, and said in a deep voice, "Be sure to catch all the people above." ”

Yang Wen couldn't help but be stunned when he took the list, what was written on the list turned out to be Zhang Gu's henchmen in Lin'an County, and there were more than 20 large and small leaders, and if these people were to be arrested, Zhang Gu would be finished in Lin'an County.

"The lower officials must do their best." At this moment, Yang Wen was sure that Zhang Gu was done this time, suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, solemnly bowed to Ma Yishi again, and then hurriedly left the arrangement.

Obviously, the boss has done a detailed investigation of Zhang Gu's background and wiped out all the big and small leaders under him, and Zhang Gu has no possibility of turning over.

According to the names listed on the list, there were seven people arrested in the county government alone, all of whom were officials and team leaders who were usually very close to Zhang Gu, which made the officials in the county government feel extremely panicked at once, although they didn't know what was going on, but it was obvious that Zhang Gu had fallen now, otherwise even his henchmen would have been arrested by the people of the Inspectorate.

With Zhang Gu's arrest, the power of the county government of Lin'an County naturally fell into the hands of Yang Wen, although Yang Wen was usually suppressed by Zhang Gu, but after all, the county Cheng also had some close people in the county office, so he asked those close people to assist in arresting those people on the list according to the mission of the Inspector General.

Yang Wen had a hunch that according to the Inspectorate Division, this time it was not only for Zhang Gu, since Ma Baishi and other five-grade masters came, then Bai Dezhang, the magistrate of Lin'an County, would also be implicated this time.

According to the investigation and envoy department, the arrest of Zhang Gu's henchmen with great fanfare soon caused a sensation in Lin'an County, and the people gathered on the streets to look at the Zhang Gu henchmen who were taken away with great interest, and secretly applauded in their hearts.

Although Zhang Gu was arrested by Ma Yanshi, but because he had been in trouble in Lin'an County for a long time, he was very obscene, and although the people were happy in their hearts, they did not dare to express their feelings, and if Gu was safe and survived this catastrophe, they would suffer.

After all, Zhang Gu was dismissed from the post of household secretary back then, but within a few years, he became the chief secretary of the county government, not only was he not demoted but also promoted.

Zhang Gu's clansmen also knew that Zhang Gu was in big trouble this time, and while sending people to Hangzhou City to inquire about the news and find out what had happened, they spread the remarks that Zhang Gu was safe and sound, warning the people not to talk nonsense, so as to stabilize the situation in the county.

This made the atmosphere in Lin'an County very delicate, and the people were watching the development of the situation, all wanting to see if Zhang Gu could get out of it.

Just when Zhang Gu's clan jumped up and down in the county to threaten the people, Ma Yan struck again and sent people to arrest several of the most happy people in the Zhang clan, as for the crimes, they were simply handy, such as gathering crowds to gamble, molesting women, etc., anyway, those people's butts were not clean.

With the arrest of those Zhang clansmen, the people of the Zhang family are now honest and dare not act rashly, they have realized that this time the horse is not good.

Three days later, Ma Yan Shi accepted the cases related to Zhang Gu and others in the county yashengtang of Lin'an County, which attracted many people in Lin'an County to rush to the county government to see the excitement, wondering if anyone dared to stand up and accuse Zhang Gu and his henchmen of the crimes, no matter how Zhang Gu had been in Lin'an County for a long time, the people were still full of fear of him.

However, to the surprise of the people who heard the trial, as soon as Ma Yan was promoted, several groups of people went to the lobby to shout grievances and ask Ma Yan to call the shots for them.

These people who shouted grievances were naturally Li Yuntian's handiwork, and he knew that the dissatisfaction of the people of Lin'an County with Zhang Gu had reached a critical point, so as long as this critical point was broken slightly, then the people's excitement would erupt.

Therefore, Li Yuntian asked Li Zixi to secretly persuade several families who were deeply affected, and it can almost be regarded as a ruined family to go to court to avenge their grievances.

Because these cases were very noisy at that time, it can be said that women and children are well known in Lin'an County, so Ma Yanshi quickly concluded the case and obtained the confessions of those involved in the case.

For those who tried to deny it, Ma Yan naturally entertained them with heavy punishment, and after some torture, no one dared to have the mentality of escaping the matter by chance, so they chose to confess their guilt.
