After Yang Dali got the advice from his father, he no longer had any scruples.
He directly mobilized some private soldiers from his family, took Yang Yuanqing with him, and went straight back to the county government office. After he returned to the county government office, he immediately called the newly appointed county captain Yuan Zhenghong.
Yuan Zhenghong did not have any prominent background in Zitong County, but he was cautious in doing things, and did not join in with others. He only did his own thing. In addition, he did not hold a particularly important position and had outstanding abilities, so he had been working in the county government before.
Yang Dali looked at Yuan Zhenghong and said: "Yuan County Lieutenant, under the current situation, although the Imperial Counselor has not ordered anyone to target the county lieutenants, county magistrates and others who have redeemed their sins, but in order to pay tribute to the people of Zitong County, I have one
Explain. I have decided to take action against them."
Yuan Zhenghong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face.
Yang Dali had just taken office, and he actually wanted to take action.
Aren't you afraid of angering Wang Can?
After all, this is a decision made by Wang Can. Once Wang Can is angered, Yang Dali will be dismissed immediately from his newly obtained position.
Yuan Zhenghong said: "County Lord, what are you going to do?"
Yang Dali said sternly: "All the major families headed by the county magistrate, county lieutenant, etc. will be captured. None of these criminals will be spared, and all of them will be dealt with cleanly."
hiss!
After Yuan Zhenghong heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Yang Dali is so brave.
Yuan Zhenghong had a bright smile on his face and said: "Now these people are preparing money, food, etc. for atonement. It is estimated that they will arrive soon. When will we start?"
Yang Dali said: "They came to pay the money, but we didn't care about it and let them leave. We have to take action. Although it is today, it may not be during the day. It will not be too late to take action after it gets dark at night."
"yes!"
Yuan Zhenghong immediately agreed.
Yang Dali smiled and said: "You are the only one who knows this news now. If the news leaks during this period, I will only ask you."
Yuan Zhenghong said: "Don't worry, county magistrate. The official knows this very well. What's more, the official is also a beneficiary. If we don't deal with all these people, then in the end, these people will fight back, and the official will not be able to bear it."
.Even if it is to consolidate their own interests, subordinates must go all out."
Yuan Zhenghong is aware of his own situation. Now, he must stand on the same front as Yang Dali.
Yang Dali said: "That's good, you go down and prepare."
"yes!"
Yuan Zhenghong took a deep breath, turned around and left.
Yang Dali sat in the room, his eyes turned, and a sharp look gradually passed between his brows.
Time passed little by little, and in the afternoon, many people had sent money for atonement and then left. These people felt relieved when they saw that the government had accepted the money.
The government finally did not regret it.
Wang Can never lied.
For them, it means their hearts are completely at ease.
In the evening, after everyone had dinner, Yuan Zhenghong had already mobilized people from the county government. Then he went to the study in person and saw Yang Dali, who was already wearing armor and had a battleship hanging on his knees.
Yuan Zhenghong said: "County Lord!"
Yang Dali said: "Is everything ready?"
Yuan Zhenghong said: "Everything is ready!"
Yang Dali stood up quickly and said: "In that case, let's take action."
He led the people out of the study and when they came outside the courtyard, Yang Yuanqing and the private soldiers of the Yang family also gathered, about a hundred of them. These more than a hundred people were the most elite force of the Yang family.
When Yuan Zhenghong saw this, his brows rose, but his eyes showed joy.
With the strength of the Yang family, it is even more secure.
There can be no more problems.
Including the county government's troops, the total strength of the Communist Party has reached nearly 500 people. Such a force, especially when well-equipped, has extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Yang Dali led his men and rushed straight to the residence of the county magistrate. These people arrived in large numbers. Because it was night, they could not see the situation for the time being. No one knew that the county government had sent troops.
Everyone arrived outside the county magistrate's residence.
The county magistrate's name is Zhong Cheng.
Yang Dali waved his hand, and the soldiers under his command surrounded Zhong Cheng's mansion, and everyone united together.
Yang Dali ordered: "Knock on the door!"
A soldier came forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened and the concierge stuck his head out. Just as he was about to speak, a soldier came forward and put a knife on the concierge's neck and said: "
Back off!”
The concierge was trembling and could only retreat.
Soldiers, as well as private soldiers of the Yang family, entered quickly.
At this moment, there was no defense at all in the Zhong Family Mansion, so the officers and soldiers entered and caught Zhong Cheng off guard. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Zhong Family was completely under control and everyone was escorted out.
The Zhong family's private soldiers are also controlled.
Zhong Cheng was also in the crowd. There was an angry look on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yang Dali, what do you mean? The Imperial Master has pardoned our crimes, but now you want to deal with us. You are so
This behavior is tantamount to a slap in the face of the Imperial Preceptor, and you will definitely be punished by the Imperial Preceptor."
Yang Dali said in a deep voice: "I am the magistrate of Zitong County. The Imperial Preceptor authorized me to act expediently, so I have the right to make decisions. What's more, what the Imperial Preceptor promised has been achieved. The Imperial Preceptor did not kill you, but I
, I will not go around you. If you, who are corrupt and pervert the law, are not punished, how can I face the thousands of people in Zitong County?"
"you you……"
At this moment, Zhong Cheng was panicking inside.
He originally thought that he was already safe, but he did not expect that Yang Dali was so ruthless that he dared to overturn the decision of Imperial Master Wang Can and attack him directly.
Zhong Cheng shouted: "I want to see the Imperial Preceptor, I want to see the Imperial Preceptor!"
Yang Dali said: "You want to see the Imperial Preceptor, but I won't allow it. The Imperial Preceptor has a lot of things to do every day, and not everyone can see you. Zhong Cheng, be honest and stay in the cell for me."
After all, Yang Dali did not execute him immediately.
According to Yang Lie's arrangement, he was required to take action immediately and directly kill the Yang family members. However, Yang Dali did not do so, because Yang Dali planned to kneel down Zhong Cheng and others, and then execute them in front of everyone
these people.
Only in this way can we win the hearts and minds of the people.
This is Yang Dali's idea.
Yang Dali sent Zhong Cheng and all the direct descendants of the Zhong family to prison. As for the slaves of the Zhong family, as well as other unimportant people, they all stayed where they were, asking these slaves to pack their bags and wait for dawn.
leave.
After doing all this, Yang Dali sealed up the Zhong family's treasury and then continued his action.
That night, Yang Dali didn't stop.
All the officials involved in the case, whether they were former county magistrates, county lieutenants, chief registrars, or other officials involved in the case, no one was spared, and all were captured.
This is true for everyone.
Everyone took it all.
For a time, the entire prison cells were already filled with people.
After doing all this, it was almost early morning, and the sky was already bright. Yang Dali didn't sleep all night, and his eyes were a little red and even a little dark, but Yang Dali was extremely excited inside.
Because all the officials involved in the case have been arrested, then he can truly take charge of Zitong County.
Without the constraints of these people, drastic reforms can be carried out.
to continue going down.
Otherwise, you will be constrained.
Yang Dali asked Yuan Zhenghong and others to do their own business, and announced the problems of Zhong Cheng and others, as well as the public trial and execution, and finally went straight to the courtyard where Wang Can lived.
At this time, Yang Dali felt anxious.
Even though he got advice from his father when talking to him, in fact, when he actually faced him, it was always difficult to stay calm inside.
Yang Dali took a deep breath and went straight to the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Wang Can who was drinking tea. Yang Dali stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said: "I'm here to pay my respects to the Imperial Master."
Wang Can said: "What's the matter?"
Yang Dali said in a deep voice: "National Master, yesterday Zhong Cheng and other former officials of Zitong County paid the ransom. However, considering the long-term peace and stability of Zitong County and the future of Zitong County, I sent troops overnight last night to directly
We arrested Zhong Cheng and others, and captured people from various families. Now, all the people involved in the case have been arrested."
Wang Can said calmly: "Yang Dali, I would like to ask whether it was your father who prompted you to arrest everyone, or it was your own inner wish."
boom!!
In Yang Dali's mind, there seemed to be thunder exploding.
At this moment, his mind went blank.
He was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, Yang Dali replied. He didn't know how Wang Can knew about it, but he had to answer this matter carefully, so he solemnly said: "Reporting to the Imperial Master, it is true that my father contributed to this matter, but it is also
Xianguan's wish, and my father's arrangement, was to eradicate the root cause and kill everyone directly. However, Xianguan believed that the only way to convince the people and to ensure long-term peace and stability for Zitong County was to have a public trial of these people. Therefore, Xianguan just arrested all of them.
People. The next step is to be beheaded after a public trial."
After Wang Can heard this, he nodded.
In fact, with Wang Can's current strength, no matter what Yang Dali is doing in the city, Wang Can can easily hear everything about Yang Dali wherever his mind goes. This is how Wang Can knows what happened last night.
.
In fact, Wang Can had no intention of being harsh in his heart, so he said: "You are in Zitong County now. If there is anything illegal in Zitong County, you can just deal with it directly. If you want to put these people on trial, I have no objection."
According to normal circumstances, if you want to be executed after the public trial, you have to report it to the Ministry of Punishment for review. However, I authorize you to handle these people with full authority and there is no need to report them."
"yes!"
Yang Dali bowed and agreed.
At this moment, Yang Dali knew that his father's judgment was correct. This time, he took down Zhong Cheng and others, which was the right thing to do. Since then, Zitong County has been in peace and stability for a long time, and there will be no more problems.
