The Wang and Li families were crying and wailing in the Jinyiwei prison, as if they were about to die.
Believing that the situation had been lifted, residents lit bamboo in the streets, making crackling sounds like firecrackers, and rejoiced in celebrating the arrest of Wang and Li's families.
They don't care who dies, they only care that a big shot above them is caught. As long as he is caught, they are overjoyed. After all, for them, this is the only time they are closest to the big shot.
In his ears, obsession turned into a demon, howling like madness, and kept circling around Zhang Mingtu.
Human joys and sorrows are not the same, Zhang Mingtu just feels noisy.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The news was blocked very well, but such a large-scale personnel mobilization, and the arrest of people from the Wang and Li families, was bound to cause a huge stir.
At night, countless carrier pigeons flapped their wings and flew to Longxing Prefecture and other areas.
The post station was galloping all night, both on the shore and on the water. The boats shuttled quickly to various places to submit memorials impeaching the county magistrate and evidence of the county magistrate's violations of laws and regulations.
Zhang Mingtu casually picked up a flamingo used exclusively by the Jinyiwei from the roof and briefly looked at its contents.
The county magistrate's illegal and criminal acts were explained quite clearly and the investigation was very thorough.
The things that Zhang Mingtu had painstakingly investigated before, such as the misappropriation of national granaries and the embezzlement of money for river embankment construction, were also included. These were very insignificant and were just one of the major crimes.
Moreover, its content is very thorough and detailed. After all, these things were done by them and the county magistrate together. It is no worse than Zhang Mingtu's investigation report.
Zhang Mingtu's Jianyi investigation report was full of emotions, while the county magistrate's investigation report they submitted was full of skills, after all, they were also involved.
With such a detailed investigation report, Zhang Mingtu can be sure that Han Qiong, the current county magistrate of Jianyi, will definitely fall, be arrested, or even executed.
“Alas, this is the power of the people!”
Zhang Mingtu let out a long sigh and sat cross-legged on the roof, refining the vigorous life essence that continued to surge out of his body.
He was no longer very concerned about what was happening at the moment. The Wang and Li families had been operating in Jianyi for hundreds of years and were deeply rooted. Any individual who wanted to confront them head-on would suffer a profound lesson. Even a powerful dragon from outside could easily fail here.
But if they go against He Ruihai and Daxia represented by Ruihai, they will definitely not end up well.
No matter how many dark and twisted unspoken rules there are behind the scenes, as long as things are brought to the surface, everything must follow rules and regulations. Ruihai puts everything out in the open, and there is nothing wrong with all of their behaviors.
If you deal with these people in secret, or if they know a little bit about the development of the situation in advance, then no one will be able to confront them head-on.
Just like the famous saying that later became widely circulated, elementary school students are best at dragging their opponents to the same level as them, and then defeating you with their rich combat experience.
Anyone who wants to compromise with these aristocratic families will be defeated by their rich experience.
Within their logic and rules, no one can beat them.
However, Zhang Mingtu no longer cares about these things. He is more concerned about the overseas country that calls itself the Land of the Rising Sun.
Ruihai had not made any mistakes in dealing with these aristocratic families for several rounds, and had the Wang and Li families completely defeated.
Now that the advantage is so great, Zhang Mingtu doesn't believe that Ruihai will fail again.
What Zhang Mingtu needs to do now is to remember to adjust his state at any time, absorb those powerful obsessions, and improve his own strength.
Sure enough, the situation in the county government changed very quickly.
When the sun rose normally the next day, the Jinyiwei of Longxing Prefecture and people from the Six Gates had already rushed here at full speed, and there were even soldiers from Longxing Prefecture.
They are all people who have close ties with the Wang and Li families.
They took the evidence submitted for handling the county magistrate and wanted to investigate the local county magistrate on the spot. As a result, they found that the person sitting in the county government office was not the previous county magistrate Han Qiong, but Rui Hai.
As for the previous county magistrate, Han Qiong, he had already been arrested.
Ruihai smiled and took all the evidence about Han Qiong given by the Six Gates in his hands, and then respectfully invited the people from the Six Gates and the Jinyiwei to return to Longxing Mansion.
As for the people from the Wang and Li families who were imprisoned, the people from the Six Gates and the Embroidered Uniform Guards refused to leave.
It seems that under pressure, Ruihai was forced to agree to a public trial.
Then, in the largest square in Jianyi, Li Xin, a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, personally read out the charges, and then listed the relevant witnesses and evidence from all over the place in front of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Six Gates who came from Longxing Prefecture, and in front of the families of Wang and Li.
For a time, the crowd was in an uproar. If it were not for the army to maintain order, the many evil people from the Wang and Li families would have been torn to pieces by the local residents on the spot.
However, there was pressure for accountability from above, and the fact that the Wang and Li families were both local powerful families made it impossible to execute them on the spot when the public was outraged.
Even if all processes are reasonable, legal and compliant, all procedures must ultimately follow a set of normal official procedures.
Even if the evidence in Ruihai's hands was sufficient to make the Six Gates and the Embroidered Uniform Guard dumbfounded and unable to believe it, it would still take at least two months to complete the process.
Rui Haihun didn't care. He just confiscated the land that was seized by force and then distributed it to the people who lost the land according to normal procedures. If the land could not be found, he would compensate it to their relatives.
The connections from all over protected the people of the Wangli and Li families, so they did not make it too difficult for Ruihai to make such a request.
Otherwise, with Ruihai holding such complete evidence, according to normal regulations, even if Ruihai violated some rules and wanted to execute the entire Wang and Li families, they would have no way to stop him.
Ruihai gave them face, and now they also gave Ruihai face. Anyway, what Ruihai had to do were just some trivial things, and they didn't care much.
After Zhang Mingtu changed his appearance, he watched the entire trial and couldn't help but marvel at Ruihai's official methods.
Ruihai seemed to be following the rhythm of Wang and Li's family step by step, but in fact the rhythm of the whole game was controlled by Ruihai, who dragged Wang and Li's family into the abyss step by step.
"Officialdom is indeed complicated."
Zhang Mingtu sighed sincerely, and at the same time, he was more and more amazed at Ruihai's wisdom.
Zhang Mingtu was also deeply grateful that he stood on the same front with He Ruihai. This person was the one who could write the best book in the world, facing the mistakes of the emperor directly and criticizing the current emperor.
"You are worthy of being the future saint!"
