Since Li Ye took in Lei Ying and the people from the village, he has been making use of their advantages.
In addition to farming on the surface, select capable people from these people to be responsible for gathering information.
It complements the intelligence network previously established by the business, and keeps all the information developing in the entire capital under control.
It's not easy to investigate this information.
It didn't take long to investigate and found that some of them had indeed violated the law.
It's just that they colluded with officials and used money to suppress the situation.
Not only did some people rob beautiful women, but some also used various methods to persecute others and steal their land.
However, under the protection of the government, the victims had no way to report the crime.
These people were able to accumulate huge wealth by using this method.
Li Ye told Shangguan Qi the news through Zhao Wudi.
Shangguan Qi knew that Li Ye was now deeply favored by the emperor, and building the road was also the emperor's order.
Of course I will do my best to assist Li Ye.
Send officials immediately to investigate these cases thoroughly.
Take action to arrest all the people involved in the case.
You don’t know until you try it, and you’ll be shocked when you do.
As long as there is no protection from officials, the victims will tell everything.
Then they beat up the local rich people.
All the things he had done were poured out like beans from a bamboo tube, and explained clearly.
It's not just the current situation, I've done a lot of bad things in the past.
It can be said that most of the wealth was accumulated through wanton plunder.
Of course they could only keep a small portion, and most of it had to be handed over to officials who provided asylum.
Shangguan Qi was extremely shocked by the result of the serious trial.
I never thought that such a terrible case could happen under the feet of the emperor.
More than a dozen officials, both big and small, were involved.
Shangguan Qi knew that this was a serious matter and quickly reported it to the emperor.
Li Xuantian looked at the review record and immediately became furious.
He slapped the table and said, "How ridiculous! These people are so arrogant that they dare to harm the people so blatantly.
Arrest them immediately and punish them severely."
"Your Majesty, punishing these people is simple, but the most crucial thing is that more than a dozen officials are involved.
These officials are even under the tutelage of the Third Prince and the Crown Prince.
I feel that this matter should not be pursued further.
If the investigation continues and involves the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, it will be difficult to handle."
Li Xuantian's face was full of murderous intent. As a prince, he might do something out of the ordinary.
But we must never protect officials from harming the people.
If such a person inherits the throne, what kind of disaster will it bring to the people?
I'm afraid it won't be long before the government falls into chaos and the entire country will be destroyed.
Although there is no evidence to prove that it is related to the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
But it is obvious that these people dare to act so recklessly just because they rely on the protection of the crown prince and the third prince.
At this moment, he was extremely disappointed with the prince.
It might be understandable that he tried to win over Yunlu Pavilion, at least Yunlu Pavilion had a huge influence in the Dayuan Dynasty.
Whoever wants to compete for the throne will consider gaining their support.
However, condoning officials to oppress the people is extremely evil and absolutely unforgivable.
However, if we get to the bottom of this all at once and find out that the Crown Prince is the one responsible, it will bring shame to the entire royal family.
If this affects the dignity of the royal family and shakes the national spirit, it will be more harm than good.
Li Xuantian said with a gloomy face: "All the officials implicated in this incident must be dismissed and investigated, and the people must be given an explanation.
These cases should end here and we should not pursue them any further."
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
After Shangguan Qi left, Li Xuantian's face was still extremely gloomy.
The look in his eyes flickered for a long time, and after a while, it gradually became firm.
"Since you are so disappointing, then you can be Li Ye's grindstone!
Use you to your full potential!"
Li Xuantian talked to himself, his words were cold and extremely painful.
The officials under the prince are reporting on the progress of road construction.
Each of them had a look of triumph on their faces.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the road passes through a lot of our land.
As long as these people don't give in, the road cannot be built.
Even if we re-plan and change the route, it may not be possible to avoid our fields."
"It's easy to stop the road construction! There are so many people who want to curry our favor!
As long as they adapt a little, they will be willing to obey our orders."
“Even if he is the Sixth Prince, he cannot forcibly seize the people’s land.
With our support, those landlords have nothing to fear."
…
The prince was very happy to see that the relationship was progressing smoothly.
"You did a great job! But Li Ye also spent a lot of money this time, he will definitely not give up.
We will also find more ways to acquire these lands.
You must keep your subordinates under control and never join Li Ye just because of the huge benefits.
If Li Ye's bid is too high, Prince Yu can also pay them money to make up for it."
In order to stop Li Ye, the prince also decided to spend a lot of money.
The officials under him quickly replied, "Your Highness, what you said is truly humiliating to us.
It is an honor for these people to be able to do this for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Under no circumstances should His Royal Highness be asked to pay."
"That's absolutely right. If we can't even handle this little thing, then aren't we all good-for-nothings?
I am not qualified to be the Crown Prince's disciple and serve His Highness."
It seems that the officials before me are very aware of the current situation.
The prince was in a better mood.
"Alright, keep going back and keep an eye on it! Don't let your guard down, and don't get complacent just because you have the upper hand."
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
These officials had just left the Eastern Palace and had not yet left the Imperial Palace.
He was immediately surrounded by a group of yamen runners.
These officials were extremely angry: "What are you doing? Open your dog eyes and see who the official is.
How dare you block the official's way? I think you are tired of living."
"Haha, Lord Zhao, please calm down!" An official from the Ministry of Justice walked over from behind the yamen runner with a smile on his face.
"I, under the order of the Prime Minister, invite you all to the Ministry of Justice to cooperate in the investigation of several cases."
The officials under the prince were extremely shocked, and there was a look of panic in their eyes.
But they still held their chests high and continued to persevere.
"Nonsense, what case do we need your cooperation?
Even if they want to investigate us, they need the Emperor's permission!"
"Don't you know that we are the Crown Prince's disciples? Even the Prime Minister has no right to imprison us at will!"
They felt extremely guilty at the moment, knowing how many shameful things they had done.
If Guan Yu were really tortured in the Ministry of Justice, he might not be able to bear it and would confess.
I can't follow you even if you kill me.
Some people are even retreating quietly, wanting to run back to the East Palace to seek the protection of the prince.
