Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 307 Weighing
When Fang Wen quickly changed into his official uniform and came to the second hall in front, several hundred households were reporting the progress of the matter to Li Ruolian who was in the chair.

After seeing Fang Wen enter the hall through the back door, Li Ruolian confessed a few words, and those hundreds of households saluted and left.

"I have seen the imperial envoy! The imperial envoy has been waiting for a long time, and I am rude! Dare I ask the imperial envoy, do you need the government to come forward now?"

Fang Wen clasped his fists and bowed to Li Ruolian.

"Prefect Fang, don't be polite. Although the city is generally stable now, several principal criminals have been arrested, only the co-prefect Ren has disappeared. There are still several dens of thieves that have not been found. I estimate that they will be released in an hour or so." If it can be settled, Fang Zhifu will need to send people to take care of the funeral, there is no rush now! Fang Zhifu, please sit down!"

Li Ruolian waved his hands and smiled.

The properties of Huang Zhi, Wang Zuohai and others are being confiscated. These businessmen cannot escape the fate of being beheaded, and their family members will also be exiled. However, the punishment of a group of offending officials still needs to be reported, waiting for the emperor's order.

Except for Jiao Yunfeng and Wu Zhiqun, other Liufang Jingcheng and their cronies included in the list by Fang Wen have also been imprisoned in the government office. The school captains are interrogating these people separately to obtain more details and information. The evidence will be used to convict after the imperial envoy of the imperial court arrives.

"Imperial envoys care for and support me, and I will never forget it! If it is useful for me, I will definitely be there!"

Fang Wen gave a deep salute to Li Ruolian and sat down on the lower seat.

"Prefect Fang is exaggerating! I am a member of the pro-army. The worry of a saint is the shame of the pro-army. Anyone in the world who dares to offend the might of God is the enemy of the pro-army! Fang Zhifu, as a subject, should have This kind of enlightenment is good! Since you are an official on behalf of the herdsmen, you should always put the people at ease and comfort the people first, and do not make the people under your rule suffer. Only then can you be competent! I hope the prefect will remember it!"

"The lower officials are taught! Wen this life should live up to the sage's entrustment, work hard to govern, be in charge of the government and love the people, so that the people under the rule will always be blessed by the emperor!"

Fang Wen bowed his hands and saluted.

"Well, I remember that the sage once said: Listen to his words, but more importantly, watch his actions. I have recorded today's words of Fang Zhifu. If there is any violation in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Public envoy, I don't know how to deal with a matter, please ask the envoy to give me some advice!"

Fang Wen hesitated and then spoke.

"What's the matter? Tell me and listen!"

Li Ruolian's expression changed when he heard the words, and then he replied with a smile.

Fang Wensui briefly told the story of Ren Yuanshan, including the usual conflicts and grievances between the two, as well as Ren Yuanshan's final attitude and so on.

"Haha! Someone said why he couldn't find it everywhere, and no one said he had never seen it when asked. It turned out that this Ren Yuanshan hid in the safest place! Talent! This person's response is really amazing! Going to the streets to arrest rioters, this person must have advocated this move! Hahahaha! Really powerful!"

Li Ruolian couldn't stop laughing when he heard this.

The captains in Jinyi, who were driving the citizens home from the streets, suddenly found that a large number of yamen guards in official uniforms also participated in the operation. After asking, they learned that they were sent by the superiors Those who apprehended the rioters, and the senior officials of Jinyiwei who learned of this situation were all shocked. They guessed for a long time and didn't think of the reason. They didn't expect the truth to be so absurd.

When Jin Yiwei broke into the government office and captured all the culprits involved in the interference case, under the investigation, only the accomplice Ren Yuanshan was missing.The captains searched the government office again and again, but they still couldn't find him. No one thought that this Ren Yuanshan was so quick-witted and made such a move in the shortest time.

"Prefect Fang, since you've already opened your mouth to inquire, you've actually already made up your mind! There's only one thing I can say: It's better to be familiar with the new! Such a character can be relied on if you hold such a great deal! You only need to let him Promise that you can impeach Xu Wenyuan, and from now on, no one in the Suzhou government will hold you back! This is all I have said! The chaos in Yangzhou, Huai'an, and Changzhou has all subsided, and I will leave for these three prefectures Check it out! See if the successor can take up this responsibility! Fang Zhifu, please do your best, and there will be a period later!"

Six days later, Li Ruolian's urgent report on quelling the riots in several prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River was placed on Zhu Youjian's case.

The report gave a detailed description of the early planning and deployment of several senior Jinyiwei officials on this matter, as well as the details of the quelling of the riots in various prefectures. Civilians, although many citizens were injured in the process, it was purely helpless.

The confiscated property of more than 800 great merchants and criminal officials such as Liu Zuo this time, due to the variety of properties involved, it will take some time for the specific results to be counted, and the gold and silver seized from various homes are being seized. Wooden boxes will be first hired to ship back after completion.According to Li Ruolian's estimation, this batch of gold and silver alone is about [-] million taels, and other land properties, shops, goods, houses, etc. are estimated to be not a small amount.

Get rich!Ha ha!

Zhu Youjian became happier when he saw this.

Although he is not short of money now, he can even be said to be very rich, but who would think too much money?

However, all of this huge sum of money cannot be transferred to the capital. Among them, Shandong and Henan each have to leave 100 million taels.The amount of various materials needed to resettle the victims is huge. All kinds of agricultural tools such as hoes, sickles, axes, and shovels have to be transported from the capital to various places, and the consumption along the way is not a small amount. It can bring a non-negligible promotion and impetus to the local economic development, and allow many people to continue to benefit from it.

In the memorial, Li Ruolian also briefly mentioned the matter of the Suzhou government, briefly introduced the conflict between the prefect Fang Wen and his fellow prefect Ren Yuanshan, and finally talked about Ren Yuanshan's response and surrender, and described the business of the Ren Yuanshan family in Suzhou. listed.

Similar to Li Ruolian's initial reaction, after seeing the choice Ren Yuanshan made at this critical moment, Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the nature and commonality of the vast majority of people. Judging from the data listed by Jin Yiwei, the Ren family does not have much interest in Suzhou Mansion. There are some problems with the product, but it is not an unforgivable crime, and staying in office is not a bad choice.

For the Fang Wen recommended by Sun Chuanting, Zhu Youjian still wanted to cultivate it carefully.Not for anything else, just to give Lao Sun more strength in the court in the future.

Zhu Youjian believed in Sun Chuanting's vision.

In order for Fang Wen to do something, the deputy assigned to him must be obedient and cooperative. Since Fang Wen has such a big handle in his hands, then Ren Yuanshan should stay in office.

Li Ruolian has done a very good job in this matter and is worthy of promotion and reuse.

As for the appointment and removal of officials in other prefectures, Zhu Youjian intends to temporarily retain the existing officials who are not involved in the case, and Zuoer can temporarily fill the vacancy of the chief official.

After Jin Yiwei's sudden attack, the officials of these prefectures were probably scared enough, at least in the short term, they would obey the imperial court's orders. As for the candidate for the chief officer, Zhu Youjian tended to let Li Banghua recommend him.

It has been half a year since Li Banghua went to Shandong to deal with the resettlement of disaster victims. This time is enough for him to have a better understanding of the officials around him. character and vision.

Among the officials involved in the case, Liu Zuo, Huang Jingbo, Li Qimei, Sun Zhuanyun, and Jiao Yunfeng were all executed. Their family property was confiscated and their families were exiled.

Businessmen such as Xu Qiming, Liu Xingwen, Huang Zhi, Wang Zuohai, etc. will also be treated in the same way as the above-mentioned officials.

As for those lower-level officials involved in the case, except for the confiscation of their family property, Zhu Youjian did not intend to kill all these people.

It's not that he is too kind, but that this group of people still have other uses, and they are very important.
