"Lord Song!" Ma De ignored Wang Yan's shouting, and instead called Song Meat again.

"The lower official is here, what do you command?" Did I provoke you? Why do you keep telling me to come out? Song Rou now wants to cut Ma De very much.

"Do I have the power to remove a prefect?"

“…… Yes! "Don't talk about the prefect, aren't you almost arrested on Xu Zuyin's platform? Wasn't General Jiang Ning almost trapped in the camp by you? What else can't you do? Song Meat secretly slandered Ma De.

"That being the case, Wang Yan, I have dismissed your officials,...... Don't kneel yet! Ma De shouted expressionlessly.

"I ...... I've been ...... "I" for a long time, Wang Yan looked at Ma De's face, and after all, he didn't dare to say anything, obediently handed over the top load of Hualing, and knelt down.

……

"This person can be called a 'wicked man's mill'!" The people present were almost all veterans of officialdom, and when they saw Ma De's hand, they all secretly felt cold in their hearts. This governor is really not good to serve! It's simply unreasonable.

"Wang Yan, you were originally the prefect of Huai'an. Li Yuchang's death was also reported to the imperial court through you, didn't you find out that Li Yuchang was poisoned in the first place? Why did you report a hanging? Did you accept a bribe from Wang Shenhan? Xu Zuyin saw that Wang Yan was soft in front of Ma De, and he was slightly disappointed in his heart, he originally wanted Wang Yan to stand in the hall like that, but he didn't expect Ma Yan to intervene sideways. It seems that no one will be able to stand in the center of this hall today. However, now that order in the lobby has been restored, he has no choice but to start questioning the case.

"My lord, I am wronged! Xia Guan never knew that Li Yuchang was poisoned. Wang Shenhan must have taken some kind of ecstasy, so he bit indiscriminately. Wang Yan shouted loudly.

"You talk nonsense! When my father-in-law's body arrived home, I found that there were still blood stains on my clothes, and I asked Lang Zhong to inspect it, and I concluded that it was poisoned and died, how can you talk nonsense? Li Lin couldn't help but shout to Wang Yan.

"You woman. Your husband is dead, and I know you are sad, so I don't bother with you. But you have been endless for three years, and you have even sued the official, don't you know that you are going to be reinstated by false accusations? You say the evidence, where is the evidence? What about the bloody clothes? Wang Yan asked loudly.

"Li Lin, where is the bloody clothes you are talking about?" Xu Zuyin is now a little pale, and finally someone is unwilling to cooperate, as long as he is unwilling to cooperate, there will be a play! Therefore, as soon as he heard Wang Yan's words, he immediately followed the tone of this defendant and asked Li Linshi.

"My bloody clothes were handed over to your prefect's yamen when I first complained, and you obviously accepted ......," Li Lin cried. At that time, the situation was unknown, so in a daze, he threw the paper into the hands of Wang Yan, who was the prefect of Huai'an at the time, and as a result, all the evidence was confiscated. Otherwise, with the evidence in hand, she may not have ended up in such a field as she is now.

"Hmph, if there is no evidence, it is a false accusation! Lord Zhentai, you have to return the official's innocence. Wang Yan shouted, his eyebrows could not hide his smugness.

"Without evidence, it is difficult to get a verdict. What do you think about this? Xu Zuyin asked with a gloomy face towards Ma De.

"Lord Zhengtai, why did you arrest the lower officials? Even if the subordinate official is suspicious, you can't put the subordinate official in prison without saying a word. Xiaguan can be locked up hard enough in the past few days. Wang Yan turned his face to Xu Zuyin's gaze and shouted loudly at Ma De.

"Don't worry! Isn't it just a few pieces of evidence! Yes! Not only evidence, but also witnesses! ......" The corners of Mader's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled darkly.

……

"Little monk Fahui, meet all the adults!"

A monk, led by the officials, slowly appeared above the lobby.

"Who are you?" Xu Zuyin asked.

"Back to my lord, the little monk is a monk in Shanyang County! For the monk who knows the guest. Monk Fa Hui replied.

"Zen Yuanan? What are you doing here? Xu Zuyin asked with a gloomy face.

"The little monk has a bloody coat here, and I am here to prove it!" There was a package behind Fa Hui, and after hearing Xu Zuyin's question, he took out the package and opened it, took out a long shirt from it and unfolded it. On the top of the caftan and on the placket, there was a black blood stain.

"Three years ago, Lord Li suddenly died in my nunnery meditation room, the county government came to pick up the corpse, the little monk was in charge of the food in the nunnery, took two brothers out to chop wood, found this bloody clothes in the forest on the side of the road, knew that it was worn by Lord Li, felt strange, and kept it!" After Fa Hui showed the bloody clothes, he went on to explain.

"The last time I sent it to the prefect's yamen, it was a shirt, and this shirt was worn outside......" Li Lin cried again when he saw this long shirt.

"That's a nice thing to say. If I take a random piece of clothing, I will say that it is Li Yuchang's, so can I also say that it is his if I take a random one? My lord, this monk's origin is unknown, and his testimony must be false! Wang Yan shouted.

"Monk Fahui, can you prove the origin of this dress?" Xu Zuyin asked Fa Hui again.

"This is the little monk's ferry, which records the time and place when the little monk became a monk, and dozens of monks in my good fortune nunnery can be testified, adults don't believe it, you can send someone to check. As for this dress, the monks did not say anything, and it was indeed worn by Li Yuchang's benefactor at that time. Fa Hui took out a ferry disc and put it together with one palm.

"If there is no evidence, it is a false accusation!" Wang Yan shouted again.

"Wang Yan, you are not an official who is trying the case, so you are not qualified to make false accusations! As for Fahui's witnesses...... Where is Shanyang County? Mader shouted.

"The lower official is here!" An official walked out of the crowd behind Song Rou and saluted Ma De and the others.

"You go and see Guan Hui's ferry saucer to see if he is a monk from the Shanyuan Nunnery in your county!" Mader ordered.

"Lord Huitai, don't look at it. Shanyuan Nunnery is the suburbs of my Shanyang County, and the lower officials often accompany their families to go to the incense, this Fahui lower official has seen, and it is indeed the monk of the Shanyuan Nunnery! Shanyang County Ling bowed and replied.

"Good! Now that it has been determined that Fa Hui is the Zhike monk of Shanyuan Nunnery, Wang Yan, what else do you have to say? Ma De asked Wang Yan again.

"I ...... Even if he is a monk who knows the guest, what can he do? It's not that it is impossible to prove the origin of the bloody clothes? Wang Yan shouted.

"Lord Xu, what do you see?" Ma De sneered and glanced at Wang Yan, and then asked Xu Zuyin.

"Monk Fahui doesn't have to lie, his identity has been confirmed, but although his words are credible and evidenced by bloody clothes, but, Lord Zhangtai, I'm afraid it's difficult to explain anything just by a bloody coat, and it doesn't prove that Li Yuchang died of poisoning!" Xu Zuyin replied.

"That's going to open the coffin for an autopsy?" Mader asked.

"Open coffin autopsy? This...... Do you still have to send someone to Li Yuchang's hometown to transport the corpse? Wouldn't that be a few more days of delay? Xu Zuyin asked.

"Don't wait. Li Yuchang's hometown is in Jimo, Shandong. Before the official came, he had already ordered someone to go and transport it back by water, and yesterday, Li Yuchang's coffin just arrived! Ma Dehui replied with a smile.

"It's already there?" Xu Zuyin couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart. His people only set off the day before yesterday, even if they hurry up, I am afraid they may not be able to reach Jimo, but Ma De has actually sent someone to transport Li Yuchang's coffin to Jiangning! Could it be that this person is really a last resort? Xu Zuyin looked at Ma De, and couldn't help but feel a chill behind him, if this person sent his subordinates to wait for the rabbit in Jiji......

"Bring up Li Yuchang's coffin!" Ma De's voice startled Xu Zuyin, who was a little distracted.

……

"The villain Zhao Yong, the head catcher of Jimo County, was ordered by my county commander to press the coffin of Li Yuchang and Lord Li. There is an official document as a basis, please take a look! A half-person-tall coffin was carried up to the lobby, and an official who pressed the coffin up first saluted Ma De and the others, and then took out an official letter and handed it to Ma De.

"Lord Song, Lord Zhao, let's pass it on and see if this official document is true!" Ma De took the official document and didn't read it, but passed it to Cao Yin first, and then called the others.

"It's true! The big seal of Jimo County's order should not be fake! Cao Yin first asserted, and then the others confirmed the legitimacy of the official letter one by one. In the end, the official document was transferred to Xu Zuyin's hands.

"Since this coffin is indeed Li Yuchang's, someone will come and pass the pestle to make a ...... Open the coffin! ”

Xu Zuyin took the official document and didn't look at it again. So many people have confirmed it, even if he denies it, it is useless. Only while holding the official document tightly, he ordered the coffin to be opened.

……

"Back to your lords, the skeleton in the coffin is complete, and there are several ribs in the abdomen that are jet-black, and the villain can be sure that Li Yuchang and Lord Li were indeed poisoned to death." The open coffin autopsy is a bit of a bad taste. The mask that Ma De had prepared couldn't avoid the stench, and his smoked eyes turned black, and Cao Yin was even worse, even if he added a fragrant silk handkerchief to the mask that Ma De had provided, he couldn't stop the corpse smell. And others, including Song Rou and Zhao Shenqiao, were unprepared, and they were even worse. When Kisaku pulled out a rib with a black spot from the coffin with chopsticks for everyone to see, more than a dozen officials had to leave the venue halfway. …… They all ran to the back of the hall and vomited.

"Li Yuchang died of poisoning, Wang Yan, what else do you have to say?" The autopsy was completed and the coffin was withdrawn. Ma De let out a few more breaths before asking Wang Yan.

"This ...... This is all done by Wang Shenhan alone, it's none of my business! My lord, it's none of my business! Wang Yan no longer had the capital to be arrogant at this time, so he just shouted loudly.

"It's none of your business? That's good, take Wang Shenhan! Mader ordered again loudly.

……

"Xia Guan embezzled a total of 24,000 taels of disaster relief grain that time, gave 2,000 taels to Wang Yan, and 1,000 taels to Lin Yongsheng, so the two adults helped me hide this matter......" After Wang Shenhan was brought up, he answered the question very happily.

"You, you don't want to spew blood. When have I received your money? What evidence do you have? Wang Yan obviously didn't expect Wang Shenhan to be so happy, and couldn't help but shout angrily.

"There is no evidence from the lower officials!" Wang Shenhan replied.

"Haha...... Without evidence, you have no evidence. My lord, he has no proof! Wang Yan laughed proudly.

"Wang Yan, how many years have you been in the office?" Ma De looked at Wang Yan with a sneer and asked.

"I ...... Poor, almost fifteen years! Wang Yan saw Ma De asking, and replied with some surprise.

"How much property do you have now?" Mader asked again.

"I ......"

"Don't you know yourself?" Ma De asked with a sneer.

"No, no, Xia Guan doesn't have much property!" Wang Yan hurriedly shook his head and said.

"None? Really not? Mader asked again.

"I didn't ...... Not really! Wang Yan's face was full of panic, but he was still hard-mouthed, but who could he hide from his weak expression?

"Since there is no ...... Where is the envoy of Gangnam Province? Mader suddenly shouted.

"The lower official is here!" Zhang Kai separated the crowd, and Shi Shiran walked out.

"Lord Wang doesn't know how much property he has, Lord Zhang, you come and tell him!" Ma De said to Zhang Kai.

"The subordinate obeys!" Zhang Kai bowed in response, then turned to look at Wang Yan with a smile, and said, "Lord Wang, you are really rich. Although the master did not order the raid of your house, you have an annex in Suzhou, worth at least 100,000 taels, and in addition, the lower officials also found out that you have 150 hectares of land, that is, 15,000 acres of fertile land. It is rumored that for this reason, your servants have even forced two deaths! In addition, the lower officials also found out that you have several restaurants and pawnshops in Huai'an Mansion and Suzhou Mansion, and the amount of money you earn every year is almost about 20,000 or 30,000 taels. And also...... In this way, not counting your family's property, you also have no less than 300,000 taels. ”

"Two hundred thousand taels, that's not counting your family...... Wang Yan, where did you get so much money? Ma De asked Wang Yan again.

"I, I...... It's all my business income! Wang Yan shouted.

"Business income? All these years of money you have added up, even if you don't know how to drink it, you won't be able to buy a pawnshop. …… Zhang Kai, show him the pleadings of the original restaurant pawnshop owner! Mader shouted again.

"Lord Wang, you forcibly bought and sold, causing several of the owners of these restaurants and pawnshops to have ruined their family wealth, their papers are all here now, and the people are also there, as well as those people who were forcibly bought by you to take the fields, there are also a lot, do you want to meet them?" Zhang Kai looked at Wang Yan with a little ridicule, took out a few copies of paper from his sleeve, and handed them to Wang Yan. Since becoming the imperial envoy of Jiangnan Province, Zhang Kai has not behaved well in Jiangsu because of the imprint of Ma De, and has often been excluded and ridiculed. Otherwise, with his character, he would never stand firmly with Ma De when most of the local officials were against Ma De, or at least, he would have hesitated. However, the cold reception in Jiangsu made him unable to choose. However, it now seems that his position is correct. Moreover, after this incident, he also believed that he would become one of Mader's cronies, which was by no means a benefit that could be obtained by standing in the opposite platoon.

"I, I ......" Wang Yan didn't expect that Ma De and Zhang Kai would actually break through from the corners, and settle old accounts with him, and they couldn't speak anymore.

"Even if you don't care about these people's papers and shield the criminals who murdered Qincha, Wang Yan, do you think you can easily escape? Your master and official in Huai'an Mansion, they are all witnesses now! Ma De looked at Wang Yan coldly and said word by word. As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people were taken to the lobby, although these people did not speak, but their eyes were enough to prove their attitude towards Wang Yan. And after Wang Yan saw these people, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and collapsed to the ground.

And those other prefects and fellow intellectuals, when they saw Wang Yan like this, most of them also had a feeling of sadness for the rabbit and the fox, which of them did not have a few properties under their names? But who would have thought that these things would become amulets under certain conditions! Therefore, while they sympathized with Wang Yan, they also had a deep fear of Ma De. And that's exactly what Mader is trying to achieve. If these officials don't want to be turned over, they have to be honest one by one. With Wang Yan's experience, he believes that if the officials in Jiangsu want to do anything in the future, they will definitely think more about it. Although under the guise of "rectifying the rule of officials", Ma De himself knows very well that it is not so easy to rectify the rule of officials, so it will take a lot of effort and waste a long time, but he does not plan to spend all his time in this area, so he can only deter first, and then see the move. As for offending people...... He'd rather save some time first.

"Wang Yan, do you admit your guilt?" Xu Zuyin was interrupted by Ma De's half-cut waist, but he was helpless, things came to this point, and he was in no mood to do anything. Ma De seems to have thought about everything, even if he wants to fight, he is powerless.

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan......" Although Wang Yan was paralyzed on the ground, he was still a little hesitant.

"Wang Yan, you have to make up your mind!" Xu Zuyin continued with a little hope in his heart that was smaller than the eye of a needle.

"Xiaguan...... Blame! Woohoo......"

……

Wang Shenhan and Wang Yan pleaded guilty one after another, and Lin Yongsheng, the former governor of Huai'an Mansion and the current governor of Jiangning, also readily confessed after learning of this situation. The rest of the related criminals are naturally difficult to escape. In addition to Wang Zhizhang of Huaining Zhi County, who surrendered himself, was only placed under house arrest, the other three Jinshi who had accompanied Li Yuchang to Shanyang County to investigate relief were also imprisoned one by one. Although Ma De didn't do anything to Xu Zuyin, Xu Zuyin also knew that Ma De was just too lazy to fight against him again, and the impeachment movement must have been on the way. Lin Yongsheng is Sunu's brother-in-law, but he doesn't have the strength of his brother-in-law, and he recruits almost everything. He Xu Zuyin is not a gentleman, and he wants to seek funds for the prince, so he naturally suffered a lot of bribes, Wang Shenhan found him through Lin Yongsheng, and Lin Yongsheng found him through his brother-in-law, and he Xu Zuyin has long been accused of harboring criminals, not to mention that Ma De is likely to have arranged manpower in Jimo, just waiting for his people to enter the net. So, this time, if you can not die, thank God.

However, Xu Zuyin was not reconciled. He's waiting! While waiting for Kangxi to remove his holy decree, he was also waiting to see how Kangxi would deal with Ma De. Li Yuchang's case involved Xu Zuyin, Jiangsu, Jiangning General Sunu, Huai'an and Suzhou, two prefects, Jiangning Tongzhi, and nine Jinshi, such a big case, but it appeared when Kangxi was on his southern tour and showed that the world was peaceful, so he didn't believe that Kangxi would be happy. He wanted to see how Ma De dealt with Kangxi's anger.
