Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 873: Arrest
When an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent, and the damage is never inflicted all at once, but bit by bit.

"No wonder your majesty is so strict about the administration of officials. This place has gone crazy, much more ruthless than the central government. I didn't understand it before. I thought that even if the local officials were corrupt, they couldn't be as corrupt as the officials in the central government. The facts have proved that I was just looking at the world from a narrow perspective."

Zhejiang.

Hangzhou.

A certain teahouse.

Tian Ergeng played with the teacup in his hand, looked at Xu Xianchun with a smile, and his words were joking, and it was obvious that he was quite emotional about this trip to the south.

"If you don't know what I saw and heard on the way south, you would think that the Ming Dynasty was about to end." Xu Xianchun had a cold face and picked up the teapot to pour tea.

"Xu Huai, Nanjing, Nanzhili, Zhejiang... So many things were uncovered because of the suppression of the Japanese pirates. The grain transport troops, river crossing, smuggling. Some people are really very bold."

"The court allocates so much money and grain every year, but so much of it is embezzled. I think there should be more than one devil like Lu Xiangsheng. The officials in the court formed a group to impeach Lu Xiangsheng and Fang Zhenghua. Haha, I'm afraid they are not clean either."

"So the Jinyiwei came to Zhejiang."

Tian Ergeng raised his lips slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "The Integrity Bureau led by Cui Chengxiu has arrested many people in Zhejiang, including local officials, gentry, merchants, and even scholars, but until now, no high-ranking officials in Zhejiang have been arrested."

"What's the chaos in Zhejiang?"

"Since the Anti-Corruption Commission won't arrest them, then I, the Imperial Guards, will do it. Humph, the Zhejiang Party headed by Sun Ruyou has confessed a lot of things. This time we will catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Dengdengdeng.

The sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and more than a dozen people wearing Feiyu costumes and carrying embroidered spring swords ran into the main hall with serious expressions. The atmosphere suddenly changed at this moment.

"The governor's office, the provincial government, the judicial commissioner's office, and the municipal government have all been cordoned off." The leader bowed respectfully to Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun.

"Let's go."

As a voice sounded, Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun stood up and walked out of the hall with their heads held high. At this moment, many people outside on the street exclaimed in surprise.

"What's going on? Why is the governor's office surrounded?"

"I don't know. This doesn't look like the law enforcement team of the Commission for Integrity."

"It's Jin Yiwei!!"

"What?! Jinyiwei!?"

"Look at the people leading the team. Aren't they wearing Feiyu suits and Embroidered Spring Swords?"

"Oh my god, it really is..."

Amidst the exclamations, the Jinyiwei flag officers who surrounded the Zhejiang Governor's Office dispersed with indifferent expressions. Such scenes also took place in the Zhejiang Provincial Administration Office, the Censorate Office, and the Metropolitan Administration Office. Before this, no one noticed any trace of the Jinyiwei.

Zhejiang Governor's Yamen.

"Don't panic!!!"

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Lu Qingrong was shocked and annoyed, and shouted sternly: "What a disgrace to everyone! The sky of Zhejiang has not fallen yet!!"

Lu Qingrong's rebuke quieted down all the officials in the governor's office, but they felt extremely complicated inside.

Hasn’t the sky in Zhejiang fallen yet?
It collapsed a long time ago!
The law enforcement teams under the Integrity Commission were making large-scale arrests across Zhejiang, and there were also Japanese pirate invasions in coastal areas. If it weren't for the various Beijing-based anti-Japanese forces stationed in various places in Zhejiang, the situation would have been even more chaotic.

I don’t know when Zhejiang entered into a strange situation.

That is, the officialdom is in chaos, but the local areas are not. It is like entering a period of inaction and governance. It seems that for the people of Zhejiang, it is better to have no officials managing them than to have officials managing them.

Many places in Zhejiang were under martial law, meaning anyone who dared to disrupt order would be arrested. However, there was not much pressure on the people. The various units stationed in various parts of Zhejiang took over the Disaster Relief Office of the Integrity Bureau, and anyone who could not survive would be taken in as long as they came here.

The various units in the capital that were suppressing the Japanese pirates were recruiting new soldiers in various places. The units in the coastal prefectures and counties were strengthening coastal defense and making corresponding deployments against the invading Japanese pirates, while other places began to deploy to clear out the bandits.

Zhejiang seems very chaotic, but everything is in order.

"Well said."

Under such circumstances, Tian Ergeng, who was surrounded by a group of flag schools, came over with a smile. When Lu Qingrong heard this voice, his face changed slightly.

Originally, he wanted to lead his men out of the governor's office after pacifying everyone in it, and then question the Jinyiwei who surrounded the governor's office.

But no one gave him this opportunity.

"You are so lawless!!"

Seeing Tian Ergeng and his party approaching, Lu Qingrong suppressed his suspicion and fear, and glared at them, "The situation in Zhejiang is turbulent now, and the Jinyiwei surrounded the governor's office with great fanfare. Aren't you afraid that Zhejiang will be further turbulent?"

"Is he still worried about further chaos in Zhejiang?"

Tian Ergeng stopped and heard what Lu Qingrong said. He looked at Xu Xianchun and said with a smile: "This is really ridiculous, haha!!"

Tian Ergeng's laughter made everyone here feel extremely complicated.

"Lu Qingrong, your incident has been exposed."

In this situation, Xu Xianchun took out a letter of accomplice and said coldly: "The Jinyiwei came to Zhejiang this time to arrest you, a bunch of treacherous villains."

After saying that, many of the flag officers behind Xu Xianchun ran towards Lu Qingrong and the others with swords in hand.

"What are you going to do!!"

Seeing many flag officers running over, Lu Qingrong glared and said, "I am the governor of Zhejiang. Even if I want to arrest someone, I need the emperor's order. You..."

"Shut up, you."

A flag officer stretched out his hand and slapped Lu Qingrong so hard that he saw stars. "You are worthy of His Majesty's decree. It's considered a great honor for you to have a royal decree!"

"Catch him!"

"Injustice!"

"Be honest!"

At this moment, noises were heard from all over the Governor's Office. This ineffective Governor's Office was undergoing a major purge today.

"If you want to be an official, then do it well."

Looking at the officials who were arrested one by one, Tian Ergeng sighed, "If you don't want to do it, don't join the officialdom. In the end, everyone will feel uncomfortable."

"Cui Chengxiu is here."

While Tian Ergeng was sighing, Xu Xianchun, who was handling the report, frowned and whispered, "He also brought a lot of law enforcement officers from the Integrity Bureau."

"Let's go meet the Minister of the Integrity Bureau."

After hearing this, Tian Ergeng smiled faintly and said, "The deadlock in Zhejiang would not have come to this point without this person. Cooperating with the Integrity Bureau is also our mission when we go south this time. Don't let the people of the Integrity Bureau think that we, the Jinyiwei, are here to steal the credit. This is not good."

Having said that, Tian Ergeng turned and walked out.
