The rise of the prince

Chapter 445 Purge Jiangzhou
It's not just Wang Kai, Li Xingzhou stood high above and pointed to the rest of the people: "You are all, so this king has already issued a document to ask people to search your house for dirty money."

And let the yamen servants bring gold and silver, and line them up one by one. Now, everyone is in a frying pan.

"This is not the money from the lower officials, my lord, the lower officials don't give that much, only a few hundred taels, not that much!"

"This is a false accusation, a false accusation! There is no evidence, how can it be so!"

"My lord, the next official is pure and innocent, the world can learn from it"

"My lord."

"."

For a while, the courtroom was chaotic.

The reason why these people were gathered here was actually to make it easier to search their homes. If these people were at home, Xiang Jun would not dare to do anything.

After more than two months of hard work, now the people of Jiangzhou and half of the officials are on his side.Especially the magistrate Wang Tong, you must know that Wang Kai is the cousin of his father-in-law Wang Tong. Li Xingzhou talked to Wang Tong about this matter. The Jiangfu yamen will fully support him, even his own cousin can't get away with it.

In this way, the general trend has been achieved, and the only difference is that there are excuses for vigorous actions.

Several officials said that they were about to go out, but they were stopped by the yamen guards at the door, and the lobby was in chaos.

At this time, the county magistrate of Xu County stood up, filled with righteous indignation: "My lord, I have been an official for a lifetime, and I am worthy of my conscience. Last time, I was fighting with bandits from Heishan in the city. I was injured in several places, and I never flinched! I wait for the scholars He has his integrity, now the prince has no proof, he is slandering the subordinate official, and he is also raiding the subordinate official's house, it is really unbearable to bear this shame and humiliation, and he is willing to die to prove his innocence and justice!"

As he spoke, he was about to hit the pillar, but the servants around him were frightened, and hurriedly pulled him back, making the scene even more chaotic.

Li Xingzhou looked down and said to the two yamen servants, "Let him go."

The two yamen servants were stunned and looked at each other.

"Let go!" Li Xingzhou said again.

Then they let go of their hands slowly.

He said to the county magistrate, "Don't you just want to hit the pillar? Go ahead, no one is stopping you now, you can hit it however you want."

The scene suddenly quieted down. The magistrate of Xu County was shocked at first, and then his face was dull, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

"Bump, I'm waiting for you to hit me! Why don't you hit me?" Li Xingzhou simply sat down, crossed his legs and looked at him like watching a play.

For a psychologist, any detail conveys important information, especially at this critical moment, he has been highly concentrated, and these people's words, deeds, and subtle changes cannot escape his eyes.

The magistrate of Xu County pretended to be filled with righteous indignation, but his nostrils involuntarily enlarged, and one end of his eyebrows was raised. This is instinct, and it is difficult for people to conceal instinct. This reveals that he is very scared in his heart. afraid?

"You think this king doesn't understand what you're thinking, and wants to scare me. Anyway, I'm a child, and I probably haven't seen the big world. It might be useful to scare me. If it doesn't work, it's okay to hit my head and bleed. As long as one If there is bloodshed, this case will not dare to continue the investigation, and at this time someone will have to stand up, right?" Li Xingzhou laughed and said, "It seems that you are very loyal."

"My lord, what did my lord say that the officials don't understand?" The magistrate of Xu County shook his head repeatedly, cold sweat was already pouring out of his forehead.

For any dynasty, as time goes by, it is almost inevitable to form cliques and form cliques for personal gain, from top to bottom.Because capital will gradually accumulate and eventually form stratification, which is the law of capital.And contacts will also accumulate, and the final result is party struggle, which is the law of contacts.

Many dynasties eventually perished due to factional struggles, and Jingguo has existed for more than a hundred years. It is not surprising that there is such a situation.

"I don't understand, maybe you can figure it out if you keep bumping." Li Xingzhou said.

"The King"

"Why didn't you hit me, ah!" Li Xingzhou's face was frosty, and everyone was too scared to speak.

"The two of you let him collide. Didn't he mean to collide? Didn't he mean to prove his innocence? Let me collide! If you don't collide, you can't stop."

The two yamen servants held him down and were about to bump into the pillar. Now the magistrate of Naxu County was so frightened that he cried and begged for mercy.

After only two thuds, he was already screaming in pain, and blood flowed from his forehead in a short while. Many officials were so frightened that their legs were weak and they were too frightened to speak.

"Scare me?" Li Xingzhou put his hands on his hips, and said contemptuously: "The lives of labor and capital are at least eight thousand, what are you?"

Several officials cried out in fright, and then they realized that, yes, this King Pingnan was the evil star who killed blood in the south!
Because he was so good-looking when he first arrived in Jiangzhou, and he was obsessed with sweeping the streets every day, and he looked like a 16-year-old boy, so that everyone forgot how dangerous he was!

In the end, Nazhixian was hit so badly that his head was bleeding and dropped to the ground, and everyone's scalps were numb.Wang Kai clamored to see the magistrate, but no one paid any attention.

Dozens of yamen servants put 23 people under house arrest in the lobby, and then Li Xingzhou left, and the tense atmosphere continued.

At the same time, under the leadership of Xie Linjiang and Shen Lin, Xiang Jun held papers and started ransacking the homes of these people. Without exception, they confiscated a lot of money.

In order to raid the house, Li Xingzhou asked Shen Lin to bring Zhang Gui with him. After all, Zhang Gui can be regarded as a professional when it comes to where to hide money.

The silver hidden in several officials' homes was found with his help. In the afternoon, large piles of silver were moved to the government office and piled up. These are ironclad proofs. Words, the ironclad evidence is like a mountain.

When the 23 officials were pushed out to look at the money, their faces were instantly ashamed. They also knew that once they were given a reason to search their property, they would be finished.
Li Xingzhou used the rascal's bottom line to draw salary from the bottom of the pot. Bribing the superiors cannot be a reason, but the source of huge assets is unknown. In addition, these people have given him gifts unsuspectingly, which is the biggest reason. That's it.

The ransacking operation lasted for more than five days, and 23 officials, big and small, were imprisoned. The things stolen from their homes were counted day and night, and the total accumulation was at least 80 taels.

The people in Jiangzhou clapped their hands and shouted Pingnan Wang Yingming. Wang Tong was heartbroken after reading it, and wrote several articles in a row, denouncing these corrupt officials.

What is the concept of close to a million taels? It is enough for Jingguo to build a military town at the border, and such a huge amount of money was found from 23 Jiangzhou official residences. It can be said that the entire Ningjiang Mansion was shocked.

In the inner hall of the backyard of Tubi Mountain Villa, silver ingots are piled up neatly into small hills, as are the gold bars next to them, weighing at least several tons, and the value converted into silver taels is at least a few hundred thousand taels.

In the past two days, officials have come to the yamen to confess their crimes one after another, most of them died of small officials, because they probably also found that almost all those who violated laws and disciplines in Jiangzhou from bottom to top were arrested, fear spread, and many people Unable to bear it at all, they voluntarily surrendered in tears, and some people hanged themselves to death at home.

In any case, along the way to the north of Beijing, all officials, big and small, were in danger. Many people began to secretly write to the court to join King Pingnan. Although the reasons were various and strange, King Pingnan touched the fundamental interests of many officials.
