Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 70 Longyang Mansion, East Factory closed the net!

The east gate of Longyang Fu City.

A carriage approached slowly.

But the carriage did not enter the city, but stopped at the gate of the city.

In the back, there is also a team of black-clothed guards equipped with spears and swords.

It's quite a distance from the capital to Longyang Mansion. You may encounter bandits and bandits on the way, so you need someone to protect you.

At this moment, Song Gongwen walked out of the carriage, dressed in ordinary clothes, then raised his head, and said softly: "The scholars in the world are going out of the south of the Yangtze River, and the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River are looking at Longyang. Longyang mansion is finally here."

In front of him was a tall city wall, blue-gray in color, with mottled walls and traces of time.

Longyang Mansion is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. It has been nearly a thousand years since its establishment.

Throughout the dynasties, no matter in terms of economy or talents.

have an extremely important position.

But it is also because of this.

Many scholars in the world come from Longyang Mansion, so the situation is the most complicated.

If you want to make some political achievements in this place, you must rely on the local nobles.

Song Gongwen naturally understood this, but he was not flustered. Behind him stood the teacher and His Majesty.

No matter how many difficulties and obstacles it has to go through when it is implemented this time, it will continue to forge ahead.

"How's the situation in Longyang Mansion recently?" Song Gongwen turned around and asked the butler beside him.

The butler was brought from the capital and has been with me for decades and is very loyal.

On the way here, he thought that before arriving at Longyang Mansion, he must first understand some situations, otherwise he would be blind.So they had already sent people to go ahead and go into the city to inquire about some news, so that they could be prepared.

"Master, two major events have happened in Longyang Mansion recently." Beside, the butler thought for a while. "The first is Mrs. Li Fang, the former cabinet assistant."

"It is said that the prince from the capital has been secretly investigating for a long time. He said that the evidence has been conclusive. Based on the time, the arrest and inspection should be implemented today."

"The second is the magistrate of Longyang. He was banned in the mansion some time ago and was dismissed from his post. And the Longyang mansion has a new magistrate named Wang Shouyuan. He is the original magistrate of Longyang County. He took office two days ago .”

Song Gongwen is very clear about Wang Gonggong, that is, Dongchang, investigating Li Fang's affairs.

As for Wang Shouyuan, he had discussed it with his teacher before.

Sure enough, His Majesty is a true hero.

"Master, what shall we do next?"

At this time, the butler spoke again, asking what to do next.

"I don't need to pay attention to the matter with Wang Gonggong for the time being, let's go to the Longyang government office first." Song Gongwen thought for a while.

Wang Shouyuan is the most important thing in the implementation of the promotion of "Tan Ding Ren Mu", so we must communicate with this person.

In this way, the next thing will be easier to handle.

"Yes, sir," replied the butler.

Immediately, Song Gongwen turned around, returned to the carriage, and formally entered the city gate.

at the same time.

On Beicheng Street, Longyang Mansion, in the Li Family Mansion.

The Li family, because of Li Fang, a cabinet scholar, has a very important position in Longyang, and even in the entire Jiangnan area.

Even though he had resigned some time ago and returned to his hometown, because there are still many former disciples and officials in the court, his influence has not weakened much. The major families in Longyang Mansion are still headed by the Li family.

But today, including Li Fang, his wife and children, more than a hundred people are standing in the courtyard.

Especially Li Lin, Li Fang's son, and his mother were even paler and trembling uncontrollably.

In front of them was an imperial guard in armor and with a sword, with serious eyes.

To be precise, these people are no longer imperial guards.

It belongs to the factory guard of the East Factory.

Among them, there are five or six eunuchs.

frontmost.

Naturally, it is Wang Jin, the admiral of the Ritual Supervisor and the Duke of Dongchang.

At this moment, with his hands behind his back, he looked at all the Li family members and said immediately.

"Li Fang, you indulged your relatives, ran amok in the village, robbed and seized land, and occupied as much as [-] mu of land. Our family ordered by His Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter, and these are all collected by our family in recent days. What evidence do you have to say?"

Wang Jin spoke, pointing to several large boxes with evidence beside her, her tone a little indifferent.

In order to make this case an iron case.

these days.

It can be said that he spent a lot of time and energy.

That's why he didn't choose to attack Li Fang at the beginning, but did it secretly.

Now, everything is ready to be completed, it's time to close the net, and the Li Mansion is just one of them.

The important thing is that Wang Jin sent people to surround and arrest Li Fang's relatives.

At this moment, he felt that he finally lived up to his expectations of His Majesty and accomplished something!
"My lord." On the opposite side, Li Fang opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself.

But when you see those big boxes of evidence.

Still keep silent.

A few days ago, he heard the wind that someone from the imperial court wanted to deal with him.

But when he wanted to react, it was too late, because every move of the Li family had been monitored long ago.Especially when Wang Jin made the move, he also said that he had obeyed His Majesty's order, so what could he justify?

In the end, Li Fang sighed, bowed slightly and said, "I have nothing to say."

Now that he has resigned, he is no longer the cabinet minister who was once very powerful.

Even in the face of Wang Jin, he can only be a grassroots.

Immediately, he knelt down and said, "I don't know the prince, how will His Majesty send down the grassroots?"

Having said that, Li Fang probably already guessed it in her heart.

Occupying civilian land is a felony.

Especially the quantity directly reached [-] mu.

At the beginning, after Emperor Taizu Gao established the country, he had already promulgated decrees.It is a serious crime to rob people's land in private, and once discovered, they will be severely punished.

As a former cabinet scholar, Hubu Shangshu, he knew that if this matter was discovered, even if he was dissatisfied with the family copying and beheading, at least all the direct descendants of the Li family would not be able to escape.

"Your Majesty has already made a decision on this matter!" Wang Jin naturally knew what the other party was thinking, and said immediately.

"Your Majesty thinks of your hard work, and will not kill any of you, Mrs. Li and any of your relatives."

"Your Majesty ordered that as long as you return the land you occupied, compensate the victims and confiscate your property, those involved will be imprisoned and exiled according to the law!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Fang, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly froze, with a little disbelief in his eyes.

It's not that he was beheaded and sentenced to death, but was only imprisoned and exiled.

This is completely inconsistent with what I thought!
How could this be?
"We know what you're thinking!"

Wang Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "This is all due to His Majesty's great grace, and I will give you a chance to live!"

Is His Majesty not going to kill me?

But what I committed was a serious crime of encroaching on the land, and the amount has reached as much as [-] mu. This is just one of many crimes, but Your Majesty actually bypassed me, and even the lives of the entire Li family
What an honor this is!
When Li Fang heard this, her heart trembled.

Especially after thinking about what he has done these years, his nose is sore.
