Qin Yu and Xiao Nan have been in Pingcheng for nearly half a month.
In the past half month, there have been no more bizarre cases in Hebei.
The news that Qin Yu and Xiao Nan came to Hebei to carry out reforms also spread throughout the counties in Hebei. For a while, the people cheered and the landlords and county magistrates trembled.
Nowadays, the two of them are living Bodhisattvas to the people, and to the landlords and county magistrates, they are living kings of hell.
Lin Ruozhou is leading a group of officials to destroy evidence and collude with confessions non-stop.
Qin Yu knew it, but he didn't stop him. He only had to deal with Lin Ruozhou alone, and the whole of Hebei would be clean.
Mansion.
lobby.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan were sitting in the hall drinking.
Several dancers swayed their waists in the hall.
Shen Binglan leaned aside, speechless.
The Emperor of Wei and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty confidently sent them to Hebei to carry out political reform.
These two gentlemen were lucky enough to have been here for the 15th day and drank half a lot of wine for the 14th day.
If it weren't for Shen Binglan's rock-solid character, anyone else would have died in a hurry.
In the hall, the orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing.
Li Su walked up from outside the hall, stepped forward and saluted, "In my humble position, I have seen the Prince Consort and the Crown Prince."
Qin Yu waved his hand, "No need to be polite."
All the dancers in the hall also consciously retreated.
Qin Yu looked at Li Su and continued: "How are things going?"
Li Su hurriedly responded: "Back to Prince Consort, everything has been done. The two people sent by Pingcheng Sima Chencang to report the news, the two leaders of the Jianghu forces, a school captain, and two gang leaders were all kept secret by us.
Robbed and brought back."
"As the Prince Consort expected, these people are ready to riot at any time. It was all arranged by Lin Ruozhou."
"Lin Ruozhou's plan is to firmly control the military and political power of Hebei in his hands through many means, such as demon troubles, mutinies, assassinations, bandits, and civil commotions, and then drive the Prince Consort, Prince Consort, and Jin Yiwei out of Hebei.
"
Qin Yu was stunned and asked doubtfully: "He even wants to move the Jin Yiwei?"
Li Su nodded, "Yes, he has arranged for many counties to accuse Jin Yiwei of raping women, extorting money, oppressing people, bending the law for personal gain and many other crimes, but they have not been executed yet."
"Fortunately, the Prince Consort's internal agent in the Bai family has sufficient information, otherwise it would be difficult for us to find out!"
The Bai family member is Gu Qing, a student who has stayed in Hebei for almost a year.
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Lin Ruozhou really has some tricks up his sleeve."
If they hadn't successfully entered the city this time, captured Lin Zuo and Lin You, and completely disrupted Lin Ruozhou's rhythm, he might have succeeded.
Xiao Nan couldn't wait to look at Qin Yu, "Brother-in-law, let's not wait any longer and arrest Lin Ruozhou. As long as we arrest this guy, all the officials in Hebei will be arrested."
Qin Yu nodded slightly, "Let's go to the Governor's Mansion tonight and calculate the general ledger with Lin Ruozhou."
Now Qin Yu has basically mastered Lin Ruozhou's many evidences of crime, and it should be easy to punish the nine tribes.
...
At night, the bright moon is in the sky.
Pingcheng.
Governor's Mansion.
Bang, bang, bang.
A rapid knock on the door came from outside the house.
Creak...
The door opens.
The steward of the Dudu Mansion poked his head out from inside.
Seeing that it was Qin Yu, Xiao Nan led the royal guards to the door. He hurriedly opened the door and said, "The common people have seen the prince and the prince consort."
Lin Ruozhou has instructions.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan came to the house and could not be stopped. He knew that this matter could not be avoided.
Xiao Nan looked at him and asked, "Where is Governor Lin?"
The housekeeper said hurriedly: "In the house."
"lead the way."
"Yes, Prince."
Then under the leadership of the housekeeper.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan went to the mansion.
Behind them, the Jinyi guards filed in. Some were carrying wooden boxes, while others were escorting prisoners. Zhou Lifu, Lin Zuo and Lin You were among them.
Zhou Lifu was a little better.
Lin Zuo and Lin You were in a worse situation. They were carried in.
The housekeeper shuddered when he saw this scene.
moment.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan entered the hall, and Zhou Lifu, Lin Zuo, Lin You and Juan were all brought in.
Lin Ruozhou came from outside the hall, and when she saw this scene, her heart dropped.
He knew that Qin Yu was here to settle the general accounts with him today.
"Old minister, see the Prince Consort, see the Prince."
Lin Ruozhou stepped forward and bowed, respectfully.
Qin Yu turned around and looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Lin, there is no need to be polite. You should know what the Japanese master is here for today. There is no need to go there now. If Fan Junliang is still there, the court will still be in chaos. What are your plans?"
It’s still possible.”
"But now that the imperial officials have been eliminated, why are you still struggling to death? Do you want to escalate the crime of being dismissed from office to the execution of the Nine Tribes?"
Qin Yu changed from his usual indifference to a serious expression and spoke righteously.
Lin Ruozhou couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart as she listened, secretly thinking that it was not good.
"Prince... Prince Consort, I don't understand what you are saying. These things were all done by Zhao Hongsheng and have nothing to do with me..."
Lin Ruozhou looked at Qin Yu and explained hesitantly.
Qin Yu couldn't help but smile, "Director Lin, since I came to see you today, I am absolutely sure that Zhao Hongsheng is just a scapegoat. Do you think I have ever brought him to trial?"
"Prince-in-law, veteran..."
Lin Ruozhou still wanted to explain.
Qin Yu raised his hand to interrupt, "You don't need to rush to explain."
As he spoke, he pointed to the wooden box on the ground, "Lin Zuo and Lin You have confessed everything. Take a look at these files, which record your numerous crimes." He pointed to the courtyard again, "
These two people were sent by Chen Cang to report the news, and you arranged the mutiny, riots, and framed the Jin Yiwei and other criminals, and I captured them all for you."
After listening to Qin Yu's words and looking at the files in the room and the people inside and outside the room, the cold sweat on Lin Ruozhou's forehead was already dripping down his cheeks.
He didn't expect that Qin Yu would dig so deep.
Lin Ruozhou thought he could rely on Zhao Hongsheng to survive this round, but he didn't expect that he was naive after all.
But Lin Ruozhou knew that if he confessed, he would really be finished. As long as he did not plead guilty, he would still have a chance.
"Sir, these things were all done by Zhao Hongsheng alone, and I am also a victim. I hope my consort will find out and clear my name."
Although cold sweat had penetrated his clothes, he still defended himself.
Qin Yu smiled calmly and handed another letter to Lin Ruozhou, "Then how do you explain this letter?"
Lin Ruozhou opened the letter with a confused look on his face. This was a letter between him and Xiao Wenmao.
But this is damn true!
"False accusation! This is a false accusation! I have never written such a letter to Xiao Wenmao!!! This is a naked frame-up!!!"
Lin Ruozhou's eyes were scarlet, full of energy, and he roared loudly.
Qin Yu said with a smile: "Yes, this is the tone you should have when you framed Governor Lin. Look how confident you are now, but you were so embarrassed to deny it just now that you even broke out in a cold sweat."
