When Lu Ning saw him like this, he understood in his heart that this person was still somewhat useful, so he said to him.

"In this case, I will give you a chance to live, as long as you help me take down that prefect, I will count you as guilty and meritorious."

General Zhao originally thought that he was now a mortal person, but he didn't expect that the prince would really spare his life, so he was naturally grateful to Dade and agreed immediately.

He took his subordinates and Lu Ning to the prefect's yamen.

At this time, the prefect Wu Wang was drinking and having fun in the back hall, and he was still thinking about collecting all those metals and making huge profits after smelting.

Now, when I saw General Zhao leading a team of people in, I thought that all of them were here to attend the banquet.

I'm still thinking about how this guy can bring so many people, even if he divides the money, he can't be so meticulous.

So, he stepped forward and patted General Zhao on the shoulder directly.

"You kid is really unkind, you came to me, and you brought so many soldiers, let me tell you, how many people you bring, I will only share your money."

Hearing him say this, General Zhao glanced at Lu Ning next to him, and a cold sweat came down directly.

He secretly thought to himself that this guy would simply mention any pot without opening it, which was really speechless.

In front of Lu Ning, General Zhao still had to behave well, he went over and slapped the prefect and said loudly.

"Who said that I came to share the money with you, I am not that kind of person, everyone can punish dog officials like you, and I am here to eliminate harm for the people today."

That prefect Wu Wang saw that General Zhao was so aggressive, although he was afraid in his heart, he said in his mouth.

"Hehe, you are really a dog and a mouse to meddle in your affairs, although you are also a fourth-grade official, but you are only a military attache who leads the troops, and you can't control the affairs of local administration, otherwise the government will join you!"

At this time, General Zhao Shen had some meaning of a fox and a fake tiger, and he took out the token and said.

"Don't talk nonsense here, I was ordered by Lord Qincha to arrest you today, and now I have surrounded your government officials, and your officials have also been weaponized by me."

At this moment, the prefect was completely out of temper, and General Zhao's soldiers quickly controlled the entire prefect, and at the same time locked the prefect.

So, he walked up to Lu Ning and said with some words of asking for merit and reward.

"Your Highness, I have taken down this dog officer, what should I do next, ask for your instructions, no matter what you say, the general will point where to fight, there is no ambiguity!"

Lu Ning nodded, and then asked General Zhao to step down beside him first, he found the signing room, picked up the phone and called Zhu Yuanzhang directly.

"Father, my son met a prefect on patrol outside, he violated the ban of the imperial court and collected the iron tools used by the people to melt them for profit, please ask my father to instruct how this person should be punished!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless and told him.

"We have already told you, you can do such a small thing by yourself, you can send a letter to the prince about this matter, see what he says, and do it according to the prince's wishes."

Lu Ning called the prince of the East Palace again, and Zhu Biao was not ambiguous at all and said.

"What else does a dog official like this ask for, he will be sentenced to death directly in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no ambiguity in peeling the skin and grass!"

Lu Ning followed the instructions of the crown prince and conducted an investigation here, and then announced the verdict.

"All the local officials involved in the ink corruption case, except for the main culprit Wu Wang, who was stripped of his skin and grass, other officials at all levels were assigned and dismissed."

At this time, that Counselor General Zhao was also on this list, and he knew that he would not be able to keep his official position.

However, after all, he had a merit in helping Lu Ning win the mansion, so he ran to Lu Ning and kowtowed, and then asked.

"Your Highness, I also have some credit on my body, you should also look at my merits, give me a light haircut, and keep my official position."

Lu Ning glanced at him speechlessly before speaking.

"If it weren't for the sake of some of your merits, you would have dealt with it with that dog official, and now you are only dismissed from your official position and let you be assigned three hundred miles, which is already extraordinarily generous, what do you want?"

When General Zhao heard this, he also knew that there was no hope for him to intercede, so he had to say helplessly.

"Then thank you for the prince's grace of not killing, but the lower official now has another request, if you keep my official position, I will help you dig out more ink-greedy officials here!"

Lu Ning let out a long sigh before speaking.

"You better lose your official position and go to the army on your own, I don't want to say anything more to you, if you want to talk too much nonsense, all that awaits you is my Browning bullet."

After that Zhao Shen General left, Lu Ning said to himself.

"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and if people are observed, there are no fugitives, which is also a thing that has no choice."

In fact, Lu Ning knew very well in his heart that the officials who were greedy for ink would not stop the ones they punished.

But if you really dig up all the roots, I'm afraid you can have as many as you want.

If you really dig it up like this, when the time comes, I'm afraid that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will be shaken.

Lu Ning knew in his heart that he would only dispose of some people to make an example of him, and he would not cut off anyone's way of life.

He felt very helpless about this, but there was nothing he could do to change it.

I have a good student Zhu Xiongying, if the emperor's eldest grandson can really inherit the unification in the future, he must be able to truly implement the new law reform policy of the Ming Dynasty.
