Before Chen Xin could finish explaining all his crimes, Ma Nan on the side couldn't hold on.

The ant-like pain in his body made him almost faint several times.

He kept shouting: "Your Highness, the villain is willing to confess, and the villain has all confessed, please ask His Highness to stop the punishment!" ”

However, Li Zhi didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

I saw him listening to Chen Xin's confession while waving his hand to Zhang Lei.

So Zhang Lei immediately understood and tore off Ma Nan's clothes, and a piece of cloth was stuffed directly into his mouth.

Ma Nan's eyes widened, shaking his head desperately.

This was accompanied by a shudder that appeared on the body from time to time.

Such a scene frightened Chen Xin's head with cold sweat.

He also spoke faster and faster.

He wanted to leave the court quickly, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his urine if he stayed any longer.

Liu An, who was in charge of the record, didn't seem to understand Chen Xin's feelings at all.

He reminded Chen Xin several times to speak slowly, so as not to omit his records.

In just about a cup of tea, Chen Xin confessed all his crimes.

Among them, there are as many as four officials who have been bribed by him.

The main thing is that he also keeps a book of accounts at home.

This makes the subsequent interrogation much easier.

After Chen Xin was taken away, he was quickly replaced by the next one.

At this time, Ma Nan had just been rescued from a coma.

When people saw Ma Nan's current appearance, they couldn't have the courage to resist at all.

He also happily confessed his crimes.

Dang Renhong had closed his eyes in despair at this time.

He had no extravagant hopes at this point.

Next, Li Zhi interrogated three prisoners in a row.

He never called a single witness.

This saved him a lot of time, but it also put a lot of pressure on later offenders.

After the trial of several consecutive convicts, Ma Nan's sentence time also just ended.

At this time, he had fainted for the third time.

When he was lifted from the nail chair by Zhang Lei, he immediately cried loudly.

At this time, his bowels were blue with regret.

He never imagined that the pain that Li Zhi brought him would be so unbearable.

Li Zhi completely ignored Ma Nan's feelings at this time.

He interrupted not long after Ma Nan began to cry: "This king will give you a cup of tea to explain the time, if you can't explain it clearly, this king has other means." ”

After hearing this, Ma Nan was full of cleverness.

He didn't dare to delay any longer, and directly confessed all his crimes.

At this time, Li Zhi was simply a demon in his eyes, and he only looked forward to leaving Li Zhi's sight earlier.

The interrogation that followed went smoothly, and some still tried to resist.

However, Li Zhi never wasted time on those who resisted.

Each time, he continued to interrogate others while executing those who resisted.

The shock of seeing someone else being punished is actually greater than being punished yourself.

Therefore, whenever someone in the court is punished, the other prisoners often give an honest account.

Even so, when Li Zhi finished interrogating all the officials, the time was already late at night.

The problem of corruption in the city of Guangzhou is simply too serious.

When Li Zhi interrogated all the minor officials, he already knew that their superiors were also not spared.

In the next two days, Li Zhi began to interrogate the officials in charge of affairs.

The problem is even more acute with these people.

There are even many people who take advantage of their positions to start their own businesses.

Although Li Zhi had known about this for a long time, he still felt a shock when all this was really in front of him.

After three days of continuous interrogation, it was finally time to interrogate the high-ranking officials.

The psychological quality of these people is much stronger than that of those low-level officials.

Even when confronted with witnesses, they often don't fall behind.

Because they know that once they confess their crimes, there is a high probability that they will face death.

However, these people seriously underestimated Li Zhi's methods.

He directly asked the dragoons to take stock of all the property of these people.

After that, Li Zhi did not ask them whether they had taken bribes.

It is only based on the wages and incentives they have received over the years to determine what they should own.

As for the extra property, Li Zhi let them explain it themselves.

If the explanation is not clear, it will be directly convicted according to the corruption and perversion of the law.

You must know that officials in the Tang Dynasty had to declare their assets regularly.

If there is a serious discrepancy between the assets you declare and the inventory, then the crime is completely different from taking bribes.

This move directly made those recalcitrant high-ranking officials dumbfounded.

It can even be said that the death penalty was directly imposed on these people.

Originally, what they wanted to escape was bribery.

This crime is generally not killed, and the most serious crime is the confiscation of property and distribution to the frontier.

However, Li Zhi's method directly changed the nature of the case into a corrupt and perverted law.

In this way, the maximum penalty can become the death penalty.

So these people were all scared, and they expressed their willingness to explain thoroughly and report others.

As long as Li Zhi does not give it to corruption and perversion of the law when sentencing.

At this time, Dang Renhong was completely desperate.

He didn't wait for Li Zhi to interrogate him, and he took the initiative to explain everything.

Over the years, he has embezzled more than a million yuan.

If it is dealt with according to the law of corruption, even if he is a member of the third grade, he will inevitably be cut in two.

This is not the most terrible thing, the terrible thing is that all officials will affect their families after committing crimes.

The degree of perversion of the law is very different from that of bribery.

After the trial, Li Zhi, the big and small officials in Guangzhou, immediately asked Su Lie to lead people to arrest all the government soldiers and generals involved in the case.

In their haste, these people simply didn't have time to organize the more than 10,000 soldiers to resist.

Next, Li Zhi asked some members of the Dragoon Army to take over the generals.

Prepared for his follow-up plans.

In less than ten days, Li Zhi sorted out all the files.

Then let Su Lie personally lead more than 200 people to escort the prisoners and the property found out back to Chang'an City.

At the same time, Su Lie also brought back a few letters from home and a thick recital.

After Su Lie left, Li Zhi decisively re-recruited more than 100 officials.

He personally led these people to run the market.

Whether it was the new commercial law or the establishment of the city department, Li Zhi himself proposed it.

Therefore, no one knows better than him how customs works.

By this time, Li Zhi's plan had officially begun.

As long as his letter can be passed, the progress can be accelerated.

The hot and humid summer in Guangzhou City did not affect Li Zhi's mood at the moment.

Even though he was far away from the center of the court at the moment, he was not at all worried that his influence would decrease.

Because Li Zhi believed that his letter would once again bring a strong shock to the entire court.
