Catching Xu Sihai's smuggling was a clue to the families involved in Jiangnan. After letting Xu Sihai and his people continue sailing, Li Ru interrogated the spies sent by the aristocratic families on Xu Sihai's ship overnight.

Li Ru is not a soft-hearted person. He doesn't tell you when you ask, but he is tough-talking, right? He wants to let you know what it is to be a human being. He tortures you externally and tortures him mentally. After a series of trials, these children who were originally small characters soon looked like they were being played.

He looked so bad that he told all the things about when he was a child and he peeked at the girl next door.

Li Ru followed this clue and started to catch people. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, he first asked his men to pretend to be robbers and arrested several small families and participants living outside the city. After some questioning, he got almost all the evidence.

, waited for two days to calculate Xu Sihai's itinerary, and after confirming that the transaction would not be delayed, he began to follow these clues to start the arrest.

In this case, follow the vines to grab the gourd. There are some chickens, cats, and dogs behind the small gourd.

Behind the chickens, cats, and dogs, there is another string of vines. I continue to scratch along the vines, and piles of watermelons, winter melons, and large pumpkins are bubbling out.

Li Ru didn't care whether it was 3721 or 4728. As long as one person was involved in the case, the whole family, servants, etc. would be taken away. Soon the cells of Jinyiwei in Yangzhou City and even in the south were full.

In the end, almost all the people were arrested, and they were all loaded onto ships and taken to the main camp of the East China Sea Fleet. Due to the increasing number of people, Gan Ning had to set aside a separate area in the fleet to detain the people involved and their families.

Then Li Ru began to conduct more careful cross-examination and interrogation of the members of these families.

Li Ru notified Pang Tong and Qingfeng before taking action, and the two took the opportunity to arrest the criminals in their hands. The two groups did it almost at the same time.

There are 100 large and small families within 300 miles of Yangzhou City. The number of officials, generals, and schools arrested in the town exceeds 300. There are 100 royal guards and more than 50 general banners. What makes Qingfeng feel a little comforted are the thousands of households in Yangzhou City.

Yang Fan, who was assigned to the Qianhu household, was pretty good, and his crime was not serious. He was scolded and continued to work, which was a face to the integrity supervision and law enforcement agency ordered by Li Mingda.

In fact, for Li Mingda, who was far away in Chang'an, after seeing the list of people involved in the case provided by Li Ru, it didn't mean much to use this fig leaf. It was just that he finally found a person who could get by, so he gave him a break.

Bar.

Li Mingda's request to Yang Fan was that he should take the surviving 100 members of the Jinyiwei family and the general banner leaders to the execution ground to be imprisoned, so that he could see the fate of his colleagues and subordinates who were greedy, derelict in their duties, and oppressed the people.

Yang Fan, who received Li Mingda's approval, was naturally very excited. It was not easy to survive.

Different from Yang Fan's fate, the fate of other officials in Yangzhou City was just one word: death.

Li Mingda has no good impressions of such low-sighted people who have lied to others for so long, and he also issued a special order to add one level of punishment to all crimes. These officials who are worthy of being exiled will be beheaded, and their direct blood relatives to the fifth generation will not be allowed.

Enter politics.

The three-generation descendants of officials who have been exiled are not allowed to engage in politics. Their children who have been imprisoned for more than five years within 10 years are not allowed to engage in politics. Those who have been imprisoned for more than five years will not be employed.

All those involved in the case, including the traders, were arrested and sentenced. Their crimes were also increased to one level. They were sentenced and their hidden assets were liquidated.

For those who have been unjustly, falsely and wrongly convicted, we will set things right and the victims will be compensated from these assets.

For the family members who were unaware of the situation, they carried out ideological education and returned a certain amount of property to allow these people to continue living. As for how much they were given, they were treated differently.

Li Ru is also very shrewd. He gives more to believers in the Mingzun Holy Cult so that they can continue to live richer. He also tells them that this is Li Mingda's kindness to them. For those who have no faith, he gives less.

As long as I'm not hungry anymore, as for eating, drinking and having fun like before, let's just dream.

Moreover, Li Ru did not intend to waste manpower. It would be better to send them to mines instead of being imprisoned to let them know the suffering of the people. Li Mingda was satisfied with the punishment and agreed.

Li Ru also followed Li Mingda's ideas and took advantage of the great purges in the Yangzhou area to establish a brand new criminal file system locally, including the records of these people and their families.

In order to ensure the smooth preservation of the archives, cement was specially allocated to re-cast the archives of Jinyiwei and Fuya with cement.

Fire and theft prevention measures have also been taken.

When Xu Sihai and others arrived, it was the peak period of arrests, and a large number of people involved in the case and fleet sailors were pressing people to send them to the camp.

The scene was like moving ants, with people crying on the road, wailing regrets, and shouting who is my father, who is my uncle, and who is my uncle who will take revenge in the future.

The chaos is more lively than going to the market.

During his transaction with Xiao Qi, the people sent by Li Ru on the ship took a detailed look at the other party, recorded his description, drew a portrait, and took him back for secret investigation.

After the transaction was completed, Xu Sihai took a look at Xiao Qi's belt and found a jade pendant. Then under the dim light, he faintly saw what seemed to be Jia Zi. He didn't say much and returned with the team after the transaction was completed.

Xu Sihai reported this piece of news to Li Ru's people on the ship. As for whether to use it or not, it was their business.

In fact, the spies on the ship also saw this jade pendant, but what they saw was similar to what Xu Sihai saw. They didn't think it was a good word, it seemed to be similar.

When they arrived at the mouth of the river, they put the spies back, and the boat with the men was trimmed as it docked, making it easier for spies Li Ru and his men to go back and deliver the news.

Li Ru was helpless after receiving the information. The other party was naturally not an easy person to do this. It would be nice to have a jade pendant with a portrait and a trace of Jia calligraphy.

When arresting people in Yangzhou, the iron men sent by Li Mingda to arrest the mysterious organization, Hanguang and his party also gained something. Not only did they capture some officials and aristocratic families who were infiltrated and involved, but they also captured the entire city.

Search for mandrills that have no place to hide.

When he caught the mandrill, he didn't run away after seeing the iron hand, but surrendered like a bachelor.

After some interrogation, I found out that Mandrill was not having a good life these days. Even though he had only been here for a few days, he was hiding in Yangzhou City and did not dare to come out to buy openly. Every day, he came out late at night to let others steal some.

Not only did he have enough to eat and drink, but he also worried about being arrested by the yamen and guards, and he also worried about being assassinated from within the organization.

He felt something was wrong when Xiaolian's hands were dishonest that day, especially when he noticed that Xiaolian's face and his own were unnaturally red. He instantly thought of a situation, that both he and Xiaolian had been drugged.

Naturally, the ones who took action were other members of the organization. What he didn't expect was that the ones who really took action were Xiao Lian and his closest confidant. Xiao Lianzi blushed because he wanted to prevent Mandrill from seeing the situation and drinking it on purpose.

He planned to take advantage of the moment when the mandrill was exhausted and had sex, but the mandrill discovered the clues. Then he pretended to wash away and dug out a brick from the ground to successfully counterattack.

Then Xiaolian and his followers changed their clothes, destroyed their appearance, and took the opportunity to sneak away. According to his confession, the little sister's home was actually a stronghold.

After Iron Shou got Mandrill's confession, he immediately led people to arrest him...
