Chapter 591: Leave No Ones
Qian Qianyi's memory is very good.
After all, he is a great talent.
Soon, he confessed.
The number of people he reported exceeded 90.
And because of his erudition and strong memory, even the evidence of these people's crimes was written silently.
Zhang Jingyi had to admire this guy...... He's a fucking talent.
It's a pity...... It's useless to be smart in a serious place.
Most of these 90 people, most of whom are either rich or noble, without exception, are all members of the Donglin Remnant Party or the Restoration Society.
Qian Qianyi is a person with a great reputation, so naturally, he has a wide range of friends.
As soon as Zhang Jing got the offering, if he got a treasure, at this time, Li Dingguo came to find it.
"Mentor ......"
"You're just in time." Zhang Jingyi looked tired, in fact, everyone was very tired, many people came to Nanjing City, but they didn't sleep well, on the one hand, to prevent someone from counterattacking, on the other hand, there were too many things to do.
Zhang Jingyi: "We don't have many people in the city, and we need to defend all the key roads, so now I plan to arrest people, and now the situation is urgent, in order to prevent people from fleeing, we must start immediately, how are you in Zuoying?" β
"The left battalion has been controlled."
Zhang Jing looked at him seriously, and then said: "Now if I give you the directory and ask you to immediately mobilize the Zuo Battalion to get people, can you control them?" There may be people who are not just in Nanjing......"
Li Dingguo thought about it, although he was young, he seemed very stable and not reckless, and after assessing, he said: "There is no problem." β
Zhang Jingyi was obviously not at ease at all, so he said, "Are you sure?" Don't worry about someone in the left camp who is a thief? β
"Sure." Li Dingguo said: "There should be no big problem, of course...... In order to be precautionary, it is necessary to arrange it before it happens, as long as the arrangement is secure, the students have confidence. β
Zhang Jingyi immediately bowed his head: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll leave it to you." β
Speak, ...... directly He took out a stack of confessions.
These confessions are not just Qian Qianyi's, in one night, those guys who went to the Wei Mansion to eat and drink have already been interrogated separately and confessed countless characters.
Li Dingguo looked at what was written above, and couldn't help but be speechless, and couldn't help but say, "So much? β
"Let's divide it into categories, there are a lot of people in it, but in fact, they are all one person, and there is a possibility that the characters will overlap. In addition, it is necessary to deal with the crime according to the size of the crime, and if the crime is extremely heinous, it must be the first to be arrested, and do not escape. The rest...... It should also be arranged, rest assured, I will have people to assist you, and the teaching team side, how many people you need, call directly. If it is a little later, the follow-up teaching teams will also come, and then the manpower will be more abundant, and within half a month, Deng Tongzhi will also arrive with a large number of Jinyi guards, and at that time, you will hand over all the prisoners to him. β
Li Dingguoton felt that he was carrying a thousand pounds of burden, but he still nodded and said, "Don't worry...... On the side of the left battalion, there are enough manpower, but it is really not possible, just transfer the men and horses of the other guards in Nanjing, and the students believe that they will be willing to do their best. β
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Why, it's only overnight, you can trust them?" They have been in Nanjing for so many years...... I think...... There are still some doubts. β
Li Dingguo raised his head and stared at Zhang Jingyi, but said firmly: "Students can be trusted." β
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but be surprised: "Why? β
Li Dingguo thought for a while and said: "Because the students know them, the students used to be the same kind of people as them, they were looked down upon, they couldn't eat enough, they couldn't dress warmly, the family was hungry, what Shangguan, what kind of scholars, who took it seriously." When the students arrived in the capital, it was the teacher who took in the students, divided the fields for us, let us enter the Donglin Army, gave us a full amount of silver, and taught the students to read and write. The students were thinking that as long as they treated those guards as human beings, they would naturally be willing to die and have no second thoughts. β
Li Dingguo's words made Zhang Jingyi quite moved.
Perhaps because of his high status, Zhang Jingyi began to forget his original intention, and almost didn't realize what the military and civilians in the world need most.
Zhang Jingyi suddenly realized something, and then said: "Very good, Nanjing Zhuwei, for the time being, you will be transferred, all the people, you have to call up, arrest people for me......"
"Yes."
Day...... In Nanjing, chickens and dogs finally began to jump.
What appeared in the streets and alleys of Nanjing City was no longer the Donglin Army in gray coats.
It was the traditional cotton armor of the official army, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, blocking the gates, and began to follow the directory, invade the doors, and then ...... One by one, they were taken out.
All of a sudden, there were all kinds of crying fathers and mothers in the city.
There were also teams of people and horses, and they began to go to the counties of Nanzhili, and even began to go straight to Jiangxi and Zhejiang.
The atmosphere was suddenly tense, so much so that the various yamen had no officials on duty.
Can these ...... For Zhang Jingyi, it is not important at all, and the scribes of the various offices are strictly ordered to temporarily manage the government.
However, in fact, the officials of the Ming Dynasty don't pay much attention to actual affairs, not to mention, this is the sixth department of Nanjing.
At the end of the day, hundreds more people were captured.
At the moment, he was tortured, and he was beaten urgently, and he began to confess more people.
When Zhang Jingyi took a stack of confessions and sent them to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was directly startled and exclaimed, "So many, how many people are here?" β
"It's almost a thousand." Zhang Jingyi said very seriously: "The cases involved are varied. β
No way, at the beginning, in order to protect their families, some people just confessed to the same party who rebelled, but later, for fear of dissatisfaction, and also knew that sooner or later others would have to confess themselves, so they began to confess to various other crimes, who killed someone, and who was greedy for ink......
People are like this, once they start to confess, then it is like a rotten crotch, and they don't have to worry about having more debts.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help frowning and said, "So many people, punish them all?" β
"It's not just so many people, I'm afraid there are many more." Zhang Jing said: "This is only Nanzhili, this Nuoda Jiangnan, there are still many people who haven't taken it." If you are guilty, why not take it? Your Majesty must have relented. β
"I'm not soft-hearted." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said in annoyance, "I was just thinking...... When does this have to be checked? β
Zhang Jingyi said calmly: "Soon, many of the charges are confessed very clearly, so ...... I am not afraid that the parties will not admit it. β
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "In this way, how many people may be involved in the end?" β
"At least thousands ......," Zhang Jing said categorically.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse gasped, and then said, "Good guy, are they all guilty of raiding the family?" β
"Nine times out of ten."
"Huh......" The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly felt that this did not seem to be bad, and then, he tried to contain the joy in his heart, and said, "I heard that you have arrested many people and forced them to confess...... Why bother? The sins of many people are already certain. β
Zhang Jingyi glanced at the Emperor of the Apocalypse deeply, and then said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, this is the best way to solve the Jiangnan dilemma. β
"Oh?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse felt more and more interesting, so he looked at him fixedly and said, "You go on. β
So Zhang Jing said: "Here in Jiangnan, the most terrible situation is...... These people are monolithic, and through various relationships, they have formed a group of common interests, and these people ...... It's not easy to uproot it, even if you kill a batch today, who can guarantee that it won't be born again in the spring breeze. To break this ...... You don't have to let them bite it. In the past, they relied on the relationship between fellow villagers, the same year, classmates, and protΓ©gΓ©s, and everyone sat together to eat meat, and their interests were equal. β
"But now...... It's different. They want to leave the lives of the whole family, and it is impossible not to bite people. But they can't write anyone's business at will, after all...... Irrelevant people, even if they want to confess, they are full of flaws, just one check, you will know that they are making false accusations, and then they will have to suffer. The only people they can confess are these people who are close to them on weekdays, so they bite each other, and this layer of so-called relationship, isn't it natural to change from the same party to an enemy? β
"At that point, they are no longer monolithic, but isolated people...... What Donglin Party, what Restoration Society, what bullshit Jiangnan scholars, as long as they are punished, everything will naturally fall apart! β
After hearing this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly understood, and couldn't help but say: "I understand, I understand, this method is good, haha...... It turned out to be a discord meter. β
Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly: "It's not about separation, it's just giving them a chance." β
"A chance?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was slightly surprised, and said with his hands behind his back: "You go on." β
Zhang Jing said eloquently: "Their relationship network is too dense, and the clans in Jiangnan are the most deep-rooted, does Your Majesty really want to kill them?" If you really kill them all, I am afraid that I will not kill tens of thousands of people, but I am afraid that I will not be able to kill them endlessly. Instead of killing, it is better to punish the heart! If Your Majesty wants to implement the new policy, then you must have silver and food, let them bite first, and then everyone will bite out, and then break them one by one, and then all the problems will be solved! β
The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, then lowered his head and looked at the confession again, and saw many names, and found that there were many of them, all of which he had an impression.
So he couldn't help but sneer: "I didn't expect it...... There are so many things involved, and it seems that there are no good people in Jiangnan. β
Zhang Jingyi said: "It's not that there are no good people in Jiangnan, it's that these people's hearts are broken." β
