Chapter 175: Closing the Net

Yun Yu didn't wait long, and soon the confessions of the horse shopkeeper and the money shopkeeper came out.

These two people did know much less than Shopkeeper Yang, but they provided some information that Shopkeeper Yang didn't say.

For example, some of their goods were intercepted and sold to the mountain bandits in Xifu Road;

In the disaster relief shipwreck case, they also put some of the goods on those ships to be transported to Nanling Road to sell, and finally the ship was destroyed and the goods were lost, and they lost a lot of money, because they wanted to make up for this hole, so they resold the royal goods privately......

There are countless cases like this, and the two of them have embezzled more than one million yuan in money, most of which are used to open up relationships, bribes and use, and they can leave less than 200,000 yuan in their hands.

"Loser! It's such a loser, it's not good to have so much money to do anything, and you deserve to be reduced to today. ”

Yun Yu was furious, this is all silver for nothing! Now it's all flying away.

What can be done with 200,000 guan is not enough to transform the entertainment street.

No wonder these businessmen desperately want to be officials, and others who work hard by themselves earn more than they can afford to sit at home and earn more.

"Yun Gongzi, you are naturally fearless with the support of the prince, but although we are imperial businessmen, we have nothing to rely on behind them, and we can't do business at all if we don't go up and down."

"Alas! Time is also fate! If you could have met Yun Gongzi seven or eight years earlier, why would you have today's disaster. ”

Shopkeeper Yang shook his head, they have no choice, either they will be dogs for those powerful people, or they will not even have the qualifications to live, if they don't make such a choice, they will not be able to say that they have today's wealth, even if they are begging in the capital, they are not qualified.

"Don't cry here, take it away!"

When the evidence was in hand, Yun Yu didn't say much, and directly asked the three to take them to Dali Temple.

Looking at the evidence signed and detained in his hand, there was no big fish, and the biggest official position was just a waiter in the Ministry of Works, Yun Yu didn't believe that he could have so much energy to make the merchants in the capital obey his dispatch.

However, it is not bad that the matter can be investigated to this point, and the shopkeeper Yang knows these at most, and no matter how much they know, they probably won't be caught here, and the arson case should have been thrown into the fire from the beginning.

With these three pieces of evidence, Yun Yu found Lu Ming.

"Did you get anything out of it?"

Because of the high stakes, Lu Ming was worried that there were also their people in Dali Temple, so he personally supervised them here.

"There is no gain at all, this group of fools don't dare to say anything at all except for some inconsequential merchants, they are afraid of those powerful people, aren't they afraid that I will butcher knives at most!"

Lu Ming obviously didn't get any benefits here, these people were just like the stones in the pit, just asking for death.

"I have gained some things here, but it is still much worse than I imagined, and it seems that the person behind it has a lot more energy than we imagined."

Yun Yu said and handed the signed evidence to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming took it and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly turned scarlet: "Come on, go and arrest everyone on this list, I want to see what color their hearts are." ”

With Lu Ming's order, a team of guards took the list and began to search the whole city.

For a while, there was a lot of wind in the capital, and the originally lively streets were instantly empty.

The people lay on their stomachs at the windows and watched the guards coming and going, and from time to time they passed by tying up a group of people.

The wails resounded through the sky, and the sad listeners wept.

Although I don't know what happened, everyone showed a strange unanimity, that is, they resolutely did not go out.

The prisons in Dali Temple were almost closed, and Lu Ming also went to ask for a special decree to put some of the prisoners who were not particularly serious in the prison of the Criminal Department, so as to make room for a little.

"Shizi, there is an important situation, Ruan Heng, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, hanged himself at home, the Ministry of Rites Wailang, and the director of the Ministry of Rites all committed suicide by drinking poison and wine, and the rest of the people have all been arrested and brought to justice."

Captain Feng Su's face was a little ugly, the first time he did things with Shizi, there was such a big mistake, and several important prisoners all died at home, if he wanted to treat him for a crime of disadvantage, there was no problem at all.

What's more important is that because this matter has hurt the world, this life will be the end.

"I don't blame you for this, get up!"

"Thank you, Shizi!"

Lu Ming's face was gloomy, these people started too quickly, as soon as they got the news here, the people over there died.

And they are all officials of the six ministries, and they are simply rubbing the great cadre decree under their feet.

"Yun Yu, what should I do now, since those people made a move, then the clue must be broken again."

Lu Ming was a little unwilling, and spent so much effort to catch a few small fish.

"Wait! In fact, it shouldn't be us who are in a hurry, it's still a long time, let's deal with this matter first, and then loosen the outside and tighten the inside, as long as they relax their vigilance and leak out of the horse's feet, we will definitely catch them. ”

Yun Yu had a hunch that this fish was very big, and it must be very deeply implicated.

At least to the point where more than 60 percent of the officials in the capital have to cover for him, otherwise he will definitely be able to find some clues this time.

"That's all there is to it! So what about these people? All chopped? ”

Lu Ming also knew that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and asked Yun Yu to be a little embarrassed for him.

"What are you going to do with all the cuts! If the crime is severed, the crime is relatively minor, or if it is involved, it must be sent to the mine! The blast furnace side is smelting steel every day, and the amount of ore needed is increasing day by day, and if the production is not increased, at least more than half of the blast furnace will be shut down. ”

Good guys, so much labor, how can it be wasted.

It's too easy to kill, but that won't create wealth.

Labor reform is the key, and they must use their industrious hands to wash away their sins.

"It's not realistic to send them all to the mine, there are a lot of old people, women, children, what can they do when they go to the mine."

"And what did you do with it before?"

"The men were reduced to servants, the women were sent to the Church, and all those who were too old or too young were exiled."

Yun Yu listened to it for a while, no wonder the big cadres couldn't develop, and this manpower was not used well.

"Then let's all labor reform! Find a job for these people to do, men mining, women weaving, the elderly and children to raise silkworms, planting mulberry, it is really not okay to farm, you must let them re-emit heat and light. ”

If it weren't for the fact that these people were all prisoners, Yun Yu would want to keep these free laborers for his own use.

Tea planting, mulberry picking, weaving, brewing...... There are more places to use manpower.

"It works, but it's not going to make it so easy for them."
