"Isn't that Lord Li from the Ministry of Revenue? What did he do wrong? Why was he arrested?"
"Humph, he should have been arrested long ago. Everyone around here knows that Lord Li often allows his family to embezzle the fertile land in the countryside!"
"Isn't this a common occurrence? Those officials and their families never care about the lives of ordinary people like us."
"Don't you know? Not only Lord Li from the Ministry of Revenue, but also Lord Wang from the Ministry of Justice has been arrested."
"You mean Wang Yi? He's guilty of more than enough crimes! It's said that anyone he arrests and imprisones in the Ministry of Justice will be found guilty, even if they're innocent. Unless you pay him some money as a tribute, there's no getting out."
"Yes, not long ago, the son of the Song merchant in the east of the city was arrested and imprisoned for molesting a woman. However, he was released after just two days. It is said that it was this Song merchant who gave Wang Yi a large sum of money."
"By the way, who are the people who arrested them? Look at the official uniforms they are wearing. I've never seen them before."
"I don't know, but what is certain is that these are all people from the imperial court... What do you think? Is His Majesty going to rectify the administration?"

The East Factory has its own prison.
These people were naturally taken to that place.
What awaits them will be endless torture.
Until they confess.
A scene like this.
It's happening in every corner of the city.
The number of people arrested by the East Factory this time totaled dozens.
It involves officialdom, business circles, etc.
This shocked everyone.
