Chapter 122: Confrontation and Compromise

The Wang and Li families were crying and howling in the Jinyiwei prison, as if they were about to die.

Believing it was lifted, residents lit bamboos on the streets, making crackling sounds like firecrackers, and rejoiced. In celebration, Wang and Li were arrested.

They don't care who dies, they only care that a big shot is caught. As long as they are caught, they are happy. Anyway, for them, this is the only time they are closest to the big shot.

In my ears, obsession became a demon, whistling like madness, constantly spinning around Zhang Mingtu.

Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. Zhang Mingtu only felt noisy.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The information was sealed very well, but such a huge transfer of personnel, as well as the arrest of members of the Wang and Li families, was destined to cause a huge wave.

I don’t know how many homing pigeons were flapping their wings at night, flying to Longxing Prefecture and flying to other areas.

During the night, people at the inn station were rushing non-stop. This was true on the shore and on the water. The boats quickly shuttled to various places to deliver the memorial to impeach the county magistrate, as well as the evidence of the county magistrate's violation of laws and disciplines.

Zhang Mingtu casually picked up a flamingo specially designed for Jin Yiwei from the roof and took a brief look at its contents.

In it, the county magistrate's illegal and criminal facts were explained quite clearly, and the investigation was very clear.

The misappropriation of national granaries and embezzlement of silver used to build river embankments, which Zhang Mingtu had worked so hard to investigate before, were also among them. They were very trivial and were only one of the major crimes.

And the content is very detailed and detailed. After all, they did these things together with the county magistrate. It is no worse than Zhang Mingtu's investigation report.

Zhang Mingtu's Jianyi investigation report was all about emotion, while the county magistrate's investigation report they submitted was all about technique, after all, they were among them.

With such a detailed investigation report, Zhang Mingtu can be sure that Han Qiong, the current magistrate of Jianyi, will 100% be overthrown, arrested, or even executed.

"Oh, this is the power of the people!"

Zhang Mingtu let out a long sigh and sat cross-legged on the roof, refining the vigorous life essence that was constantly pouring out of his body.

He is no longer very concerned about the things in front of him. The Wang and Li families have been operating in Jianyi for hundreds of years. They are deeply rooted. Any individual who wants to face them head-on will have to learn a profound lesson, even if it is an outsider crossing the river.

The Raptors can easily turn around here.

But when He Ruihai and Da Xia, represented by Rui Hai, faced off, they would definitely not get along well.

No matter how many dark and twisted unspoken rules there are behind the scenes, as long as things are brought to the surface, everything must follow rules and regulations. Ruihai just puts everything on the surface, and no form of behavior can be chosen.

Anything goes wrong.

If there are transactions with these people behind the scenes, or if the development of the matter is known to them a little in advance, then no one can confront them head-on.

Just like the famous saying that became popular later, elementary school students are best at dragging their opponents to the same level as them, and then using their rich combat experience to defeat you.

Anyone who wants to compromise with these wealthy families will be defeated by these wealthy families with their rich experience.

Within their logic and rules, no one has ever played them.

But Zhang Mingtu no longer cares about these, he is more concerned about that overseas country that calls itself the Land of the Rising Sun.

Ruihai made no mistakes in dealing with these wealthy families in several rounds of the future, and devoured the Wang and Li families to death.

Now that the advantage is so great, Zhang Mingtu doesn't believe that Ruihai will overturn.

What Zhang Mingtu has to do now is to remember to adjust his condition at any time, absorb those powerful obsessions, and improve his own strength.

Sure enough, the situation in the county government was changing rapidly.

The sun rose normally the next day, and there were already the imperial guards of Longxing Mansion, people from the Six Gates, and even members of the army from Longxing Mansion rushing here.

They are all characters closely connected with the Wang and Li families.

Taking the submitted evidence to deal with the county magistrate, they immediately went to investigate the local magistrate on the spot. As a result, they found that the person sitting in the county office was not Han Qiong, the previous magistrate, but Rui Hai.

As for the previous county magistrate, Han Qiong, he had already been arrested and brought to justice.

Rui Hai smiled and gave Liumen a man all the evidence about Han Qiong in his hand, and then respectfully invited the people from Liumen and Jinyiwei to return to Longxing Mansion.

As for the Wang and Li family members who were in prison, when the people from Liumenmen and Jinyiwei couldn't leave.

Seemingly "under pressure," Rui Hai was "forced" to reluctantly agree to a public trial.

Then in the largest square in Jianyi, Li Xin, a member of the Jinyiwei family, personally read out the guilt, and then listed the relevant witnesses and material evidence from all over the place one by one in front of the people from the Six Gates of Jinyiwei who came from Longxing Prefecture.

They were listed in front of the Wang and Li families.

For a time, the crowd was excited. If the army had not been there to maintain order, many evil figures in the Wang and Li families would have been torn to pieces by the local residents on the spot.

However, there was pressure from relevant authorities to hold him accountable, and the Wang and Li families were both local wealthy families, so it was impossible to execute him on the spot when the public was excited.

Even if all processes are reasonable, legal and compliant, all procedures must ultimately follow a set of normal official procedures.

Even if the evidence in Rui Hai's hand is so sufficient that Liu Men and Jin Yiwei are dumbfounded and unable to believe it, it will take at least two months to complete the process.

Ruihai didn't care, he just confiscated the relevant robbed properties, and then distributed the properties to the people who lost the properties according to normal procedures. If they couldn't find the properties, they would compensate them to their relatives.

The connections from all over the place protected the members of the Wang and Li families, so there was no need to make things difficult for Rui Hai's request.

Otherwise, with Ruihai holding such complete evidence, according to normal regulations, even if Ruihai violated some rules and wanted to kill the whole Wang and Li family, there was nothing they could do.

Rui Hai gave them a face, and now they also give Rui Hai a face. Anyway, what Rui Hai has to do is just trivial things, and they don't really care.

After Zhang Mingtu changed his mind, he watched the whole trial and couldn't help but marvel at Rui Hai's methods as an official.

Ruihai seems to be falling into the rhythm of the Wang and Li families step by step, but in fact the rhythm of the whole scene is controlled by Ruihai, dragging the Wang and Li families into the abyss step by step.

"Official life is really complicated."

Zhang Mingtu sighed sincerely, and at the same time, he was more and more amazed at Rui Hai's wisdom.

Zhang Mingtu was also deeply grateful to stand with him on the same front as He Ruihai, a man who could write the best book in the world, face the faults of the emperor, and criticize the current emperor.

"He is indeed a future saint!"
