"You are so bold, you dare to kill people in broad daylight, and you don't have the royal law of the Ming Dynasty in your eyes?" Zhou Renshan never imagined that Lei Ting's attitude was so tough, and after being shocked, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Lei Ting, and said with a strong inward-looking expression, he knew that he had hit the iron plate this time and encountered a hard stubble that was not easy to deal with.

Don't look at Zhou Renshan calling for wind and rain in Xiaohe Town, he knows very well that there are people in this world who he can't offend, and Lei Ting obviously belongs to this type of person, and he feels inexplicably frightened in his heart.

"The subordinates who try to connive at and slander the reputation of the imperial court officials, who does not have the law of the Ming Dynasty in their eyes?" Lei Ting looked at Zhou Renshan with a cold expression, and asked quietly and rhetorically.

"Who said that Master Ben wants to connive at his subordinates, Master Ben must verify the authenticity first, and then send it to the county government for questioning." Zhou Renshanqiang suppressed his panicked mood, glanced at Steward Zhang, who was pale beside him, and replied seriously.

Li Yuntian, who had been looking at Zhou Renshan, frowned slightly, he clearly noticed just now that a trace of viciousness flashed in Zhou Renshan's eyes when he looked at Steward Zhang, as the matter became bigger and bigger, it seemed that Zhou Renshan wanted Steward Zhang to carry this black cauldron, which meant that Steward Zhang's life was in danger, because only dead people could keep secrets.

The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth then showed a hint of disdainful smile, Zhou Renshan's wishful thinking was good, it was Steward Zhang who collected the money, as long as Steward Zhang died, he could put the blame on Steward Zhang, but how could Lei Ting let him get his wish?

"Boss Zhou, this case involving King Zhongwu is no longer within the reach of the county government and the government government, I heard that the adults of the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department and the Inspectorate Department are in the county seat, presumably they will be happy to try this case." Sure enough, Lei Ting coldly exposed Zhou Renshan's lies and didn't give him any chance to resist at all.

"How can such a trivial matter get the lord of the clan and the lord of the clan, it is better to hand it over to the county government first." Zhou Renshan's face changed a few times, and he pretended to be calm and waved his hand to the family on the side, "Take the big housekeeper back first, and send it to the county government after Master Ben asks the reason for the case." ”

When there was a soft sound, as Zhou Renshan's words fell, another crossbow arrow was shot at the gate, which made those members of the Zhou family suddenly nervous, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

"Invite Boss Zhou and Steward Zhang to come!" Lei Ting didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhou Renshan here anymore, so she coldly gave an order to the guards beside her, "If there is any resistance, take it down immediately and hand it over to the Yamen of Yousi to deal with." ”

"Yes!" The guards responded in unison when they heard this, and then walked quickly towards Zhou Renshan and Steward Zhang.

"Quick...... Stop, stop them! Zhou Renshan saw that Lei Ting was really moving, and immediately panicked and hurriedly shouted to the surrounding family members.

When several of the guards who tried to stop the guards were cleanly put to the ground, the rest of the guards dodged one after another, allowing Zhou Renshan and Steward Zhang to be stopped by the guards.

"In broad daylight, you dare to forcibly rob people, is there any royal law? I will definitely sue you to the yamen and put you all in prison. Zhou Renshan struggled desperately when he was escorted away from the gate of the courtyard by the guards, shouting loudly in his mouth, and his expression was very frightened.

Steward Zhang was already frightened stupid at this time, his body was limp and dragged by the two guards, as long as this matter was caused to the domain and the platform, he would definitely die.

Seeing Zhou Renshan being arrested, the people watching the excitement at the scene instantly became agitated, and they stretched their necks and looked at the scene in front of them curiously.

"Master, do you want to send these two people to the county seat?" Lei Ting glanced at Zhou Renshan and Steward Zhang, who were escorted to the front, and bowed down to Li Yuntian and asked.

"It's getting late now, I'll send people there tomorrow, and I'll go to the inn first." Hearing this, Li Yuntian looked up at the sky and said, after some tossing and turning before, it is now approaching dusk, and it is already evening when the people are sent to the county seat, and the gate of the county seat will have already been closed.

"This gentleman, the inn in the town is simple, if a few gentlemen don't mind, you can go to the humble house below for a night." At this time, He Yunyi walked over and bowed to Li Yuntian and issued an invitation respectfully.

"There are a lot of us, so we won't bother." Li Yuntian realized from He Yunyi's respectful words and deeds that he had guessed his identity, smiled slightly, and politely rejected He Yunyi's kindness, He Yunyi was a witness in Zhou Renshan's case, and it was inconvenient for him to contact him, so the inn was the best choice.

"Sir, the Zhou family does a lot of evil on weekdays, in order to prevent them from escaping and destroying the evidence, I think it is better to temporarily seal the Zhou house, so as not to prevent the government from investigating the case in the future." He Yunyi didn't expect Li Yuntian to come, and said tentatively after pondering for a while.

"What do you think?" Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, turned around and asked Li Yi'an, Yang Ming and other officials of the Third Division of Zhejiang, Zhou Renshan's case happened in Zhejiang, and this kind of seizure was naturally decided by them.

"It's a good move." Li Yi'an and others naturally couldn't defend Zhou Renshan, and they bowed down one after another to express their approval.

Seeing this, Li Yuntian nodded to Lei Ting, and then went to the inn in the town surrounded by Zheng Liang and Li Yi'an, preparing to stay overnight in the inn and rush back to the county seat the next day.

Lei Ting waved her hand, and a group of guards rushed into the courtyard, which made the people at the scene explode with a bang, and they talked about it there, all of them looked excited, and they all felt very happy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who of you have been bullied by the Zhou family before, take advantage of the arrival of King Zhongwu to report quickly, and I can help you write a complaint." Waiting for the backs of Li Yuntian and his party to disappear on the street corner, He Yunyi remembered something and shouted loudly to the people at the scene that he was going to beat the water dog now, so that Zhou Renshan would never turn over.

"I can also help you write a letter below." As soon as He Yunyi's words fell, he received a response from the previous victims who confronted Steward Zhang in public, because there were not many literate people in the town, so someone needed to write the statement on his behalf.

"Zhou Papi robbed my family's ancestral five acres of paddy fields."

"He instructed the family dog to hurt my grandfather."

"My daughter-in-law was robbed by him less than a month after she got married, and now her life and death are uncertain."

……

When the people at the scene heard this, they immediately boiled, and they rushed to He Yunyi and the others, loudly telling their misfortunes.

Seeing this, He Yunyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, if so many people complained, Zhou Renshan would definitely be unable to escape this time, and he could finally avenge the long-term oppression by Zhou Renshan.

Creek Town, Inn.

Due to the stay of Li Yuntian and others, this inn, which had only a small courtyard and had a cold business, immediately became lively, and several guests who originally lived in it were politely "invited" out by the guards, and the entire inn was in a state of strict martial law, prohibiting any outsiders from approaching.

After dinner, Li Yuntian went back to his room to rest, and did not convene everyone to discuss affairs as usual, which made Li Yian and other officials of the Third Division of Zhejiang uneasy.

According to the situation under their control, there have been more than 100 accusations against Zhou Renshan's evil deeds, and there is no doubt that Zhou Renshan is a tyrant in Xiaohe Town, but Dinghai County has not reported it in the slightest, and once he is held responsible, he will bear the brunt of it.

In a guest room, two people sat at the table chatting, one was wearing a sixth-grade official robe, and the other was wearing a seventh-grade official robe, which were the two Zhejiang officials who had appeared when he greeted Li Yuntian earlier.

According to common sense, the Zhejiang officials who followed Li Yuntian this time were all senior members of the third rank or above, and the level of two people was not qualified to appear here at all.

However, although the official rank of the two is low, their official positions are very special, the sixth-rank official is Zhejiang Governor Gong Rui, and the seventh-rank official is Zhejiang Governor Liu Minyu.

Gong Rui is a director of the Ministry of Officials, under the imperial order of Emperor Xuande to patrol Zhejiang, Liu Minyu came a month later than Gong Rui, both of them were born in Jinshi, Gong Rui is two subjects higher than Liu Minyu.

The governor's duty is to coordinate the operation of the three local divisions, and his authority should be above the three local divisions, but Gong Rui's life after arriving in Zhejiang was not happy.

Although he acted on the orders of Emperor Xuande, not only the eunuchs guarding Zhejiang but also the chief officials of the three divisions of Zhejiang were not only in Zhejiang, but it was difficult for him to control the scene with a small six-rank official, and then he would inevitably be excluded in the officialdom.

From this point of view, the three local divisions naturally don't want to have an extra nosy person on their heads, and they are also a low-ranking official, so they must compete with them for the control of officialdom.

In prosperous and wealthy areas like Jiangnan, local officials are usually inextricably linked to the various factions in the capital, so even if Gong Rui is under the emperor's order, he is still helpless against the chief officials of the three local divisions.

In the final analysis, the governor is now only a temporary errand, and the post is withdrawn after the errand is completed, and most of the low-level officials of the six ministries serve as governors, which makes it difficult for them to suppress those with high qualifications at the local level, especially in the wealthy areas.

In charge of the Ming Dynasty, the two capitals and fourteen provinces, except for Li Yuntian's Guangxi and Jiaozhi governors, which are real positions and have special offices, the governors sent by the imperial court now do not even have a place to work, how can they have prestige at all.

Liu Minyu and Gong Rui can be said to be connected by the same disease, patrolling Jiangnan is both a beauty and a drudgery for supervising the imperial history, the reason why it is said that the next trip to Jiangnan can make a lot of oil and water, but at the same time it is difficult to make a difference, because the power of local officialdom in Jiangnan is too strong.

As a result, those who made a difference usually made achievements in remote areas such as Guizhou, Sichuan, and Guangdong.

Since Liu Minyu came to Jiangnan, all he has handled are some trivial and small cases, and he also wants to investigate some big cases, but unfortunately he is constrained by the local yamen, so he has no choice but to give up, he has not yet had the courage to single-handedly challenge Zhejiang officialdom.

Because the two of them were depressed in Zhejiang and both were born as Jinshi, Gong Rui and Liu Minyu gradually got closer and watched the development of the current situation with a cold eye. R1148
