For three days, the officers and soldiers sent by Li Zhang blocked Quanzhou City for three days, and in these three days all the officials involved and some illegal businessmen were arrested and brought to justice. So many people could not be held in the Quanzhou prison at all, so they could only be temporarily detained in the navy camp. Anyway, Li Zhang did not plan to enter the city at this time, so he simply set up a court here.

"Marty, you are really too impulsive to do this. Now the whole of Quanzhou is in chaos, which makes it really difficult for the officials to do it!" In the camp, a middle-aged man in official uniform also complained to Li Zhang with a wry smile.

The middle-aged man named Ren Fang was appointed as the judge of Quanzhou, and he was also equivalent to Sun Li's deputy. He is also the only senior officials in Quanzhou who have not been in conjunction with Sun Li. This is not because Ren Fang is honest and honest, but because he just took office this year and has only been in Quanzhou for half a year, so he has not been attracted by Sun Li yet. If it takes a while, it is hard to say. After all, the general environment in Quanzhou is like this, and it is very difficult for him to survive alone.

However, Ren Fang is full of bitterness now, because Li Zhang beat Sun Li and others all in one go, which is very pleasing to the hearts of the people and clear the official atmosphere in Quanzhou, but it also makes Quanzhou City completely in chaos, and no one can handle the matters in various yamen. He alone can't handle so many things even if he is exhausted.

"The personnel power is temporarily handed over to you. Now you go back and promote some people from various yamen to the affairs of the yamen, and then hand over the list to me. If the operation of Quanzhou City is restored to normal within one month, I will protect you as the governor of Shangzhou!" Li Zhang was too lazy to talk nonsense to the other party, and immediately opened up his own conditions.

"Mr. Xie, the officials must do their best!" Ren Fang immediately stopped complaining when he heard Li Zhang's words. Instead, he patted his chest and promised that the reason why he came to Li Zhang was to ask for power. If some people were not promoted temporarily to support the Quanzhou officialdom, even if he had three heads and six arms, it would not work. What's more, Li Zhang also promised a magistrate of the upper states. With his current position, he would have to work hard for at least seven or eight years before he could take the position of magistrate.

"Yes, you are a smart person. The entire Quanzhou officialdom has collapsed, but you have not been in the same circle with Sun Li and others. If you can perform well in the future, you will definitely come into Your Majesty's sight in the future. A mere magistrate may not be anything to you." Li Zhang praised him with satisfaction when he saw the other party agreeing so simply.

"The Marquis was absurd. Before the resignation, he actually noticed that Sun Li and others had illegal things. He had no evidence in his hands. He wanted to secretly collect some evidence of crime and report to the court. Unexpectedly, you just came and you caught Sun Li and others. With the Marquis here, it is really my blessing to the Song Dynasty!" Ren Fang was secretly happy when he heard Li Zhang's words, but then he said with a righteous look on his face.

Li Zhang laughed when he heard the other party's flattery, and then asked the judge Ren to return to Quanzhou to do things. After all, there are so many officials in Quanzhou now, and it will be a mess. If the judge Ren had not come forward, it would have been even more chaotic. I don't know what would happen then?

In fact, Li Zhang was indeed too rash this time, or he was playing tricks. Originally, he just wanted to use the method of alerting the officials who colluded with Ma Fengjie to mess up, and he found an opportunity to seize the officials' feet. However, he did not expect that Sun Li and others had a great reaction and actually risked the nine clans to kill him. In the end, Li Zhang could only use this method of cutting the mess with a quick knife.

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh, but things had reached this point, and it was useless to regret it any more, and the result had not changed. Sun Li and others were also sentenced. The next thing was to try the crimes of these people and then escort them to the capital for a sentence.

At this moment, Li Zhang also asked someone to escort Sun Li and others one by one, and then interrogate these people personally. Some people were also recording it. At this point, some people were still stubborn and refused to admit their guilt. However, Sun Li was a smart guy. He knew that even if he denies it now, it would be useless, so he happily explained everything.

The Dong family massacre was indeed done by Sun Li and others instructed Ali of Hu merchants, which was consistent with Ma Fengjie's explanation. In addition to this case, Sun Li and others have committed countless crimes over the years, such as accepting bribes, collusion between officials and businessmen, etc., which are all trivial matters. The most serious thing is that they also extended their hands to the local garrison. In addition to the navy, even some of the defenders stationed outside Quanzhou City were dragged down by them.

What Li Zhang did not expect was that Sun Li and the officials of the Song Dynasty actually had contact with pirates. They collected information on maritime merchants entering and leaving the port and provided them with them. After the pirates robbed maritime merchants, they would sit on the ground to share the spoils with them. For this reason, many merchants were destroyed, which was extremely crazy.

Looking at the confessions of Sun Li and his group, Li Zhang couldn't help but be furious. He thought that Sun Li and his group colluded with officials and businessmen to destroy people, but he didn't expect that these people would still collude with pirates. No wonder pirates have gone ashore in the past two years, but the local officers and soldiers have no choice but to do anything to them. With the insiders in the officialdom and even the cooperation of officers and soldiers, those pirates may be easier to enter and leave the land than to drink water.

"Reorganize the Ministry of Personnel! Fan Zhongyan and his friends only stared at the capital, but they forgot that local officials should be rectified the most. This is just officials in Quanzhou. If the officials from other prefectures do the same, then the consequences..." Li Zhang couldn't help but stop when he talked here, and his face also showed an extremely heavy expression.

Li Zhang thought of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, the dynasty that was once harassed by a group of rammed Japanese pirates. The southern coast was clearly the richest area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, but it could not stop the Japanese pirates from rushing to kill hundreds of Ming troops. However, when Qi Jiguang attacked the Japanese pirates, he found that the Japanese pirates were vulnerable in front of the regular army. The most fundamental reason why Japanese pirates could cause such great damage was that some people cooperated with them inside and outside, just like Sun Li and the others now.

"It's really nothing new under the sun!" Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the above, and then he asked someone to take care of Sun Li and others. After being escorted to the capital, these people would definitely be unable to escape death.
