Chapter 254
This day is destined to be a day of unrest in Nanping.

All the guests walked out of the inn, and were picked up immediately by servants waiting outside the inn.

"The Zhu family, the Fu family, etc. are really gangsters?" Young Master Yin heard the shocking news as soon as he returned home.

"Really speaking, it's not very strange. Over the years in Nanping, there have been frequent incidents of bandits going down the mountain to rob. Families like the Zhu family were originally small families, but they have developed and grown in a short period of time. Their rise can be described as The gangsters are inseparable. The merchants in the city went out to transport goods and suffered heavy losses. Therefore, even the Liao family, which specializes in the medicinal material business, has not prospered. They have such a great ability. The guard is very ambitious. I never slack off in martial arts training, but every time I went to the mountains to suppress the bandits, I returned empty-handed. If no one informed the bandits, who would believe it?" The elder of the Yin family sighed and said, "Originally, everyone had guessed in private. The gangsters have internal support in the city. But without sufficient evidence, who dares to say? Zheng Zhifu is such a cautious and timid person. If someone expresses suspicion in front of Zheng Zhifu, he will He was killed by the gangsters to vent his anger."

"So, the Fu family, Zhu family and other family members are also involved?" Mr. Yin asked.

"The crime of being a bandit is so serious, so it's not just about being involved? Judging by the behavior of the sixth prince, it seems that he will be punished severely. Anyone who has an incidental relationship with their family will be involved. This time in Nanping, the family will be re-ranked." Yin Yin The elders seemed a little excited.

"Our Yin family won't be implicated, right?"

"No, although we also have some exchanges and business cooperation with them, we have always done legitimate business. Even if we communicate, it is a normal movement between families. The sixth prince has long been prepared. Today we entered the government office , some bandit leaders were all-in, and I don't know what method His Highness used, many bandit leaders all confessed, and the rest of the bandit leaders were also pierced with lute bones and hung directly on the city gate." The head of the Yin family explained.

"Your Highness really deserves to be the God of War of our Dayun Kingdom. His methods are indeed very fierce. He has just arrived in Nanping not long ago, and he has almost wiped out the bandits in Nanping. Mr. Huo Qi is also a very smart person. Your son, the medical skill is even better than the imperial physician. They have done such a good thing in Nanping, even if they return to Beijing in the future, the common people will remember them for several generations." The head of the Yin family said, "Yes, Huo Qi The young master let you go, what did you say?"

Young Master Yin immediately told what happened at the post station.

"Establish a chamber of commerce?" the owner of the Yin family said in surprise.

"Looking at Mr. Huo Qi's intentions, the chosen leader of the chamber of commerce should be someone who is fair and stable." Mr. Yin replied.

"Mr. Huo Qi doesn't seem to be interested in political affairs, but what she does and the rules she sets are closely related to people's livelihood. If the lotus root noodles you mentioned are really that good, then the lives of the people in Nanping will really improve." The elders of the Yin Family's eyes lit up, "Besides, as long as you can get along with the Duke Huguo's Mansion and the Sixth Prince, why not worry about the family not being prosperous?"

"I don't know if we can grab one of the businesses in Mr. Huo Qi's hands?" Mr. Yin sighed and said, "Looking at the wealthy gentry and aristocratic families who went there today, they are all very interested. If our Yin family doesn't show a little sincerity, I'm afraid In this competition, you will be at a disadvantage."

"It's not too late. Let's discuss it and go to the post station to find Mr. Huo Qi. As long as we show our sincerity, we won't be afraid that Mr. Huo Qi will leave us behind."

……

There are many people who hold the same idea as the Yin family.

The method of the sixth prince is indeed iron-blooded.

The bandits bit out some aristocratic families and gentry in the lobby, and these people are not fools, so naturally they won't admit it.They knelt in front of Li Yuanbai, crying out for grievances, and their expressions were even more resentful than Dou E's.

"Wronged?!" Li Yuanbai was full of evil spirits, looking at such a group of people was like looking at a group of dead people.

He, Li Yuanbai, never does things that are useless.

The people under him were all outstanding in the march and battle. What is it to deal with this kind of fat, big-eared, and oily-minded family of noble gentry?
Before he came to Nanping, he knew that the bandits in Nanping were rampant, so he had already sent people over to investigate secretly.

So the people under his command found out that some aristocratic families and noble gentry in Nanping were also involved, and he immediately began to collect evidence.

The gentry of the family and the gangster seem to have a good relationship, but they are also on guard against each other directly.The letters between bandits and aristocratic families are ironclad evidence.

When Li Yuanbai took out the correspondence between the various families and the bandits, all the aristocratic families and gentry were dumbfounded and desperate.

"Sixth Prince, Cao Min was temporarily deceived by lard, so I beg Sixth Prince to bypass Cao Min."

"Little people are forced. If the grassroots don't agree to cooperate with them, they threaten the young ones, and they will kill the young ones."

"We are also forced to cooperate with them."

......

There are quite a few families involved in this matter. With the identification of the gangsters and the presentation of the evidence, it is useless for the noble gentry and the family to complain about their grievances.As long as one family was convicted, Li Yuanbai immediately sent people to this family to search the house.

Home raiding is a major event, and there is a lot of profit in it. Naturally, it is not the turn of the defense and the prefect Zheng to directly intervene in such a good event.

Li Yuanbai brought many people out, such as Qingfeng Minglang, Chiyun Jinglei and others became the main force.

That night, the Zhu family and the Fu family, the largest gentry families in Nanping, were raided.

In order to understand the case as soon as possible, Li Yuanbai tried the case overnight, copying it while doing the trial, and within three days, all the people involved in the case were arrested and brought to justice.

Although some small gentry were involved, Li Yuanbai would let them go as long as it was found out that they were forced to do so, and that they hadn't committed any crimes.They only confiscated their property, but did not touch their people.

The wall fell and everyone pushed it. With the fall of some aristocratic families, many poor people who had been victimized and dared not complain also ran to the Yamen to beat drums and complain.Therefore, the magistrate Zheng was also very busy.

"Prefect Zheng, there are so many unjust cases in Nanping, can you be convicted?" Li Yuanbai was so angry when he saw the numerous pleadings and evidence.

"Your Majesty was found guilty. I am incompetent and have lax governance. Please punish him." When Zheng Zhifu saw him angry, he was so frightened that he knelt down for him.

He was a timid person, and when he saw many people coming to the Yamen to beat drums and complain, something bad flashed in his heart.

Facing Li Yuanbai, he really felt a little shameless.

"Your matter will naturally be judged by your superiors. This prince limits you to ten days or so, and all the facts of the case will be heard clearly. All victims who have suffered serious losses will make a list and report to Qingfeng directly from the aristocratic family, The gentry's account is out." Li Yuanbai suppressed his anger and ordered.

Zheng Zhifu tremblingly agreed.
