The 1155 case began
Since neither the emperor nor the Jinyi guard made mistakes, the only ones who made mistakes were civil officials! And they are sure that they have now become the laughing stock of the people of Jingshi, and it will spread more and more as time goes by!
At the same time, this is also a huge blow to the prestige of civil officials! If something like this happens a few more times, the cabinet will probably lose its qualification to lead the civil service!
And the most odious thing is that Emperor Wanli forcibly took all the prisoners away, and the cabinet had no chance to retaliate even if they wanted to! This is also bad for the Cabinet as well! So the Cabinet needs to be dormant for a long time!
Sure enough, the news soon spread throughout Jingshi and its surrounding areas. It is rare for the people to see this kind of story like a legendary story, so they spread it even more vigorously! And with the help of well-intentioned people, the content of the story soon became that the emperor was wise and majestic, the Jinyi guard was loyal, and the civil officials were despicable and incompetent! In order to make better money, they don't even do business! It's been a period of time that civil officials don't like to wear official uniforms when they go out!
In this way, the civil servants had to lie dormant after a blow. And Emperor Wanli didn't seem to be chasing after the victory, but just took the opportunity to expand his voice in the court. However, it also reassured the civil servants.
But the news from Nanjing made the civil officials feel that things are getting more and more tricky! After Liu Haojia arrested a group of Jinyi guards in the south, he did not interrogate them urgently, but threw them in the barracks and slowly boiled them, but focused on the three families caught in Nanjing!
These three families have a common problem, that is, they all have children and nephews who commit crimes, and then find the white duck to blame! The unlucky person also directly pressed the charge of assassination on these three families! With this reason, things are much easier!
In addition to all kinds of torture, he also actively adopted dividing tactics to specifically divide the relationship between the subordinate and the side branches, so as to obtain more information.
In the big family of such a family in ancient times, the descendants could often occupy more resources. The collateral branches will be constantly suppressed. So the means of differentiation have achieved good results! After all, most of the bad things are done by the people of the descendants, but the consequences have to be borne by the whole family, which makes many people unwilling to accept this result.
Then there is Liu Haojia who began to visit and arrange for people to visit the tenants below each family, trying to open some breakthroughs in them.
The ancient Chinese gentry family paid attention to a farming and reading heirloom, but this "farming" definitely does not mean going to the land by themselves, it can only recruit a large number of tenants to farm the land, and they sit back and enjoy the results! So in this case, bullying men and women, squeezing tenants and the like will naturally emerge in endlessly!
In the past, the tenants did not dare to file a complaint or had no way to do so, but now that they have seen that the master's family has been sent to prison, someone has finally had the courage to speak out some problems! So in this situation of internal and external efforts, these three families were completely crushed!
After killing these three families, Liu Haojia had no intention of stopping at all! He directly commanded Jinyiwei to start cleaning up the families involved in the case around Nanjing! And these families have a bunch of shit under their buttocks, as long as it is revealed, it will not be clean! So Jin Yiwei took advantage of the case of the white duck and began to arrest around Nanjing!
Just when the gentry in Jiangnan found that Liu Haojia was ready to make a big move, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, an even more terrible news came! 10,000 new troops were rushing straight along the canal to Nanjing!
This army marched extremely fast, basically reaching the limit of eighty miles a day! This is because the baggage of the army is entirely borne by the boats in the canal, and all the soldiers are lightly armed, and the speed of the journey is naturally fast! And this army is still buying and requisitioning livestock along the way, and the speed has the meaning of gradually accelerating!
With this news, the news came that the civil servants in the Beijing Division failed to write the book! Not only did he not succeed, but he was also beaten to death by the court staff! This news shocked the gentry in Jiangnan because they had lost an absolute reinforcement! Now they are going to face Liu Haojia independently!
Combined with the experience of the first few unlucky people arrested by Liu Haojia, the gentry from all over the country have recruited the sons and nephews who committed the crime back to confess, and at the same time began to clean up the traces of what they had done! But this thing is so easy to dodge! Those Jinyi guard officers who were locked up had already sold them clean for the sake of their own lives! Some even provide a lot of evidence!
Now Liu Haojia is only active around Nanjing, and the fact that he didn't move these Jiangnan gentry is not that he is afraid, but that there are not enough manpower! He has already made up his mind to take the opportunity of his assassination to set off a big case in Jiangnan and completely beat the Jiangnan gentry honestly!
Otherwise, the two monster merchant groups they cultivated in Jiangnan would devour the Ming Dynasty itself! After all, for these business groups, it is much easier to use the power of the government to squeeze the people than to develop new markets overseas, and it is more profitable! So he had to steer these two monsters on the right path before they could grow!
So after Liu Haojia began to start, Nanjing and its surroundings were full of mourning! Every five or six days, a team of brocade guards would escort prisoners into the barracks outside Nanjing, and at the same time, people would be sent to prisons in Nanjing. There are also fast horses that continue to transmit various case files in the direction of Jingshi.
Now the military camp outside Nanjing has become a palace like the king of Hades in the minds of the people! Whoever goes in will not be able to get out! And what often accompanies Jinyiwei in and out is all kinds of orders to raid the house! The fear of the people reached its peak when the 10,000 new troops arrived in Nanjing
But what they don't know is that this is just the beginning! After converging 10,000 new troops, Liu Haojia mobilized the Jinyi guards of the three thousand households in Nanjing and several nearby guards, plus the Jinyi guards brought by himself, a total of 5,000 people.
Then he organized the fifteen thousand people, except for some of the people who stayed behind, into twelve teams, five teams returned to Jiangbei, and seven teams continued to go south and began to arrest people on a large scale!
And before the team set off, Liu Haojia held a swearing-in meeting very badly, and invited many officials and gentry from Nanjing and the surrounding areas to participate! When these people saw the brightly armored soldiers below, they were terrified one by one! decided to go home and educate his nephew not to cause trouble; Those who have had some evil deeds have also decided to go back as soon as possible to make amends for the bitter master!
