Chapter 336: Closing the Net
Since Han Fei entered Jinghu, after personal visits and the collection of evidence from all parties, the truth of the civil unrest in Jinghu has basically been clarified. Natural disasters are the objective causes, but the real leading factor is the corruption of local officials. Without the collusion of officials and bandits, it would be impossible for the White Lotus Sect to blatantly stir up trouble here; Without the corrupt officials embezzling the imperial court's disaster relief money and grain, the people would not have been driven to a dead end.
The people in the Jinghu area are struggling to make a living, and the situation of purgatory on earth is, in the final analysis, caused by local corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
Han Fei can't wait to kill all those corrupt officials, but as an official of the imperial court, he must first have impeccable and ironclad evidence. Letters and the like in collusion with the White Lotus Sect certainly condemned their officials and bandits for collusion, but this was not his main purpose, and he had to get empirical evidence of the whereabouts of the disaster relief money and food, so as to fundamentally solve the civil unrest and restore production in the Jinghu area.
It's a pity that the local corrupt officials have formed a tight organization, and neither the Jinyi Mansion nor Ling'er's Purple Mansion have found valuable clues.
It has been nearly two months since Han Fei left the capital, and time waits for no one, and it is now the season of summer planting, and if he delays it any longer, he will miss the agricultural time. He thought about it for a while, wrote a secret fold, and submitted the truth of the Jinghu civil unrest and the results of the investigation to the emperor in an eight-hundred-mile rush. Subsequently, he wrote another secret letter and sent it to his mentor Du Yun through the rapid transmission method of the Purple Mansion.
The emperor is very concerned about the progress of Han Fei's civil unrest in Jinghu, and in recent times, almost every time he returns to the imperial study, he has to ask if there is any secret fold submitted by Han Fei. However, Han Fei has been gone for almost two months, and no news has been transmitted back to the capital, which makes the emperor secretly worried.
"Your Majesty, Jinghu Xuanfu made Han Fei 800 miles urgent!"
"Bring it up!"
The eunuch on duty checked the wax seal on the outside of the secret fold, and as soon as he opened it, the emperor couldn't wait to grab the secret fold and read it.
Han Fei recounted the fact that the officials in the Jinghu area colluded with the White Lotus Sect and embezzled the money and grain of the imperial court for disaster relief, and attached a list of officials who colluded with the White Lotus Sect. The secret fold also tells the story of the former Qincha and the Lord because they found out that the local officials stole and sold the grain in the official warehouse, and the prefect of Yuezhou Prefecture colluded with the White Lotus Sect to attack and kill the Nantian Dharma King, and finally showed that the disaster relief grain was very likely to be offset by the corrupt officials The deficit of the official warehouse, and the evidence is still under investigation.
When the emperor saw this, he was furious, slapped the royal case, and shouted angrily: "It's really a heinous crime, and it should be punished!" ”
When the eunuch on duty saw the emperor's anger, his body trembled, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is angry......
The emperor glanced at the eunuch on duty, sat back on the dragon chair, wrote a secret decree in his own handwriting, and then said to the eunuch on duty: "Send the secret decree to Jinghu Xuanfu envoy Han Fei in an eight-hundred-mile hurry!" Ordered Jinyi Mansion to arrest Jinghu Road to patrol the imperial history! ”
When Du Yun received Han Fei's secret letter, he was also secretly frightened, and had a premonition that an earth-shattering officialdom earthquake was coming. He understood that Han Fei's letter was to ask him to make personnel arrangements in advance, and a large number of officials in the Jinghu area would inevitably be cleared, and the vacant positions were a good opportunity to install cronies.
Han Fei received the emperor's secret decree and was overjoyed. The emperor's secret decree abandoned the format of the righteous holy decree, and there was only one line of words, "Han Aiqing let go, and I will bear all the consequences", these dozen words are equivalent to giving Han Fei another Shangfang sword. As soon as he groaned slightly, he ordered to summon a thousand households in brocade clothes and three battalions of elite soldiers to lead the discussion.
Han Fei left the Jinyi Qianhu and the generals in command, and then ordered the rest of the people to withdraw from the camp, and asked Du Yihu to patrol around, prohibiting anyone from approaching the camp to eavesdrop.
"Two adults, time is pressing, in order not to delay the agricultural time of summer planting, this official has decided to carry out the net collection operation!"
Jinyi Qianhu and the generals of the army all understood what Han Fei meant by this. The commander of the army did not have any opinions, he was originally responsible for arresting and suppressing bandits, as long as he obeyed orders. He also has the responsibility to investigate the case, but there is no evidence of detaining officials.
Jinyi Qianhu hesitated for a moment and said: "My lord, those officials have different identities, if there is no evidence, and they are arrested rashly, it will definitely attract the criticism of the courtiers!" ”
"There is evidence of nature!" Han Fei took out the evidence of the local officials' collusion with the White Lotus Sect, and said: "With these, it is enough to arrest them, and as for the disaster relief money and food, it can be searched and interrogated after arrest!" ”
Jinyi Qianhu looked through the letters in the package suspiciously, and was shocked, he never expected that Jinyi Mansion was a professional investigation organization, and after so much time, there was no major progress, and Han Fei had quietly found such important evidence. He said with admiration: "Your Excellency! I don't know how the adults found this evidence? ”
Aunt Xiuniang's matter is top secret, and it is impossible for Han Fei to leak it. He knew that if such evidence was taken out, some people would be puzzled, so he had already thought of the lines, and said lightly: "It's also a coincidence, this official treated a patient during his visit, but he didn't want to be a White Lotus Sect, he was grateful for the picture and promised to make an inside line for this official, and he stole this evidence!" ”
During Han Fei's visit to the micro-service, I don't know how many injured and sick people he treated, these Jinyi Mansions all know, and it is normal to happen to have a White Lotus Sect, and Jinyi Qianhu has no doubt.
"My lord, great, with this evidence, plus some circumstantial evidence, you can completely arrest all those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, as long as you control them in your hands, you are confident that you can get the evidence of their greed for money and food for disaster relief!"
"Well, Jinyi Mansion is an expert in adjudicating cases, and interrogating those prisoners will be biased towards thousands of households!"
"Obedience! Excuse me, my lord, when will the arrest begin? ”
Han Fei pondered for a moment and said: "This case involves too many officials, and it spans Yuezhou Mansion, Changde Mansion, and Jingzhou Mansion, in order to prevent someone from escaping after hearing the news, this official decided to act jointly by Jinyi Mansion and elite soldiers, you will quietly rush to the destination first, and arrest them in the early morning of three days, and then escort all the prisoners to Yuezhou Mansion City for trial, and this official's Qin Messenger will also enter Yuezhou Mansion City." ”
"Obedience!"
"This official declares that Jinghu this time will not only wipe out all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and thoroughly rectify the rule of local officials, but also wipe out the White Lotus cultists who are making waves here!"
Jinyi Qianhu and the generals of the army were all excited when they heard this, especially the generals of the army, the purpose of his coming here was to suppress the bandits, and only by exterminating the White Lotus Sect could he have real achievements. The two of them asked in unison, "Your Excellency already has information about the White Lotus Sect?" ”
Han Fei bowed his head and said: "According to the internal report, the person in charge of the activities of the White Lotus Sect in this place is the Nantian Dharma King of the White Lotus Sect, there are more than 1,000 people in this line, and there are about 300 backbone personnel, after we arrest the corrupt officials, we must be ready to fight with the Nantian Dharma King of the White Lotus Sect, and when the time comes, we will immediately attack and strive to annihilate these more than 1,000 people!" ”
