At first, Governor Yan didn't react, but when he sent out the third group and still didn't come back for a while, he suddenly came to his senses.
Mrs. Yan was still shouting: "Ask someone to come over again! Ask the housekeeper to come over in person!"
"No need," Governor Yan seemed to have aged twenty years suddenly: "It's too late, it's useless..."
Mrs. Yan said anxiously: "Master!"
His spine bent, and his voice became slurred: "It was my mistake, it was my underestimation of the enemy... Obviously, everyone said that she was a genius and extremely smart, why, why did I still treat her like an ordinary little girl?
I deserve it, I deserve it..."
Mrs. Yan never figured out what was going on. She only vaguely knew that it might have something to do with the book, and said anxiously: "Just capture that person and deal with it! It's not a big deal!"
Yan Cishi smiled bitterly.
Look, even Madam is used to not taking human life seriously, so why does he think he can have a smooth life?
At this moment, someone came to summon Governor Yan.
Mrs. Yan hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the money with her, and said in a soft voice: "Our master just fainted..."
The man said calmly: "The Holy Lord has called, please hurry up, Master Yan... There is an imperial doctor in the palace, so don't worry, madam."
So Yan Governor and several others were forcibly invited back.
Several adults in the courtyard were still playing mahjong lively, not knowing what night it was. Seeing him come back, they were a little surprised. Anyone who had not mastered it came out to say hello: "Master Yan, why are you back? But something happened?"
"
It was said that he was called by the Holy Spirit, but he was placed here. Yan Governor had no luck in his heart, so he just cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, please wish for your own blessings."
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
They are all people who are used to practicing Tai Chi in the officialdom. His words are equivalent to clearly saying "something happened".
The interests of these people are all tied together, and their relationships are very close, so they are not shy about speaking.
Someone asserted: "It is impossible to move the whole body by pulling one hair."
He felt that corruption in Jiangnan has been around for a long time. The emperor had always turned a blind eye. At most, he would beat the two leaders to warn them. He would never dare to truly liquidate them.
So what if you criticize people? It’s not about being greedy!
Furthermore, how dare he uproot Jiangnan's officialdom? In such a land of plenty, maintaining stability is the most important thing. People's hearts, order, and everything else must be taken into consideration. Things must be done with caution. If you act rashly, wouldn't it be chaos?
!
Everyone agreed with this statement and nodded secretly.
After a long time, someone trembled: "But, what if..." He pointed upward: "What if the sky changes?"
Zen position?
Everyone's expressions changed.
If Emperor Ming Yan really wanted to take the Zen throne, it would be possible! Bloodbath Jiangnan, complete liquidation, and then slowly extend his kindness after the new emperor ascends the throne... This is the basic operation!
However, what emperor doesn’t love power! Emperor Mingyan was only half a hundred years old and in very good health. How could he achieve the Zen position? How could it be possible!
Although I was desperately saying it was impossible, my breathing was already messed up.
At this time, the soldiers and horses mobilized from Jiaxing had already arrived at their respective places and surrounded all these people's mansions.
The decree was announced and the house was ransacked. Really caught off guard.
Because Yan Shiyue obtained the "list" in advance, Emperor Ming Yan's attack was very precise.
Because of this extra period of preparation, these people have also made preparations after leaving office.
Under the big fish, there are always shrimps, some people eat meat, and some people drink soup.
In most places, the deputy can take the lead and replace the striker. The boss already has the leverage. At this time, "taking advantage of the crime and making meritorious service" will naturally put in all the effort to perform. After that, it is really "the head on the neck" to deal with things.
I must be very cautious and will never dare to be so unscrupulous again.
In some places, Beijing-sent officials took over directly. Similarly, in order to "make meritorious deeds", these people did not dare to say anything and could only cooperate fully.
The official handover was carried out quickly and orderly.
At the same time, the pampered women in various prefectures were also arrested and crying.
The large amount of property copied from the treasury dazzled everyone and made their death penalty even more "deserved".
The officials in the palace did not find out until the next morning that they could no longer leave the courtyard. The defenders outside were wearing armor and had their swords out of their sheaths. Anyone who dared to speak would attack without saying a word.
Moreover, there was no one to deliver food, no one to serve, and all the servants and palace servants were missing.
These people finally understood that something big had happened!
But it was already too late.
At the same time, some women, including those who had invested in the Jinxiu Division, were locked up separately. Of course, there was a choice. Not everyone had the opportunity. The selection was based on a certain level of reason.
A person who intends to escape.
Then after they had been in panic for a day and a night, they sent someone over to clarify the pros and cons.
In fact, Yan Shiyue's plan was very unkind.
This is because today's law clearly states that "relatives should hide each other's crimes." That is to say, if relatives are guilty, they should hide each other's crimes. Those who do not report or testify will not be guilty. On the contrary, they should be judged.
However, when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent, and she doesn't think these women can stay out of it.
But at this time, I won’t say this clearly.
It just implies that if they can provide more evidence of guilt, they can save themselves and their children. The more they speak, the more children they can save.
You know, in this era, there is no love with the first wife, only the respect of a well-matched family. Besides, these elders and the youngest are also running away. At this time, people get married early and it lasts forever. How can there be any true and unswerving love?
In addition, they locked all these people together.
As long as there is anyone who wavers, she will naturally do her best to drag these people into the water.
Otherwise? If you are so greedy, why should you die with your husband?
They were soon shaken. They recruited many and detailed people, and every detail was well-documented. There were even some women who had long ago asked their husbands to take in one or two concubines and had a lot of grievances, and they were not even found out.
They were all summoned as well.
The three departments have been summoned to handle the matter in Jiangnan.
Bao Zheng was also sent to interrogate him personally.
His interrogation style was upright and dignified, sharp and calm. Yan Shiyue went to several interrogations and thought they were pretty good. He felt a bit like the legendary Bao Qingtian.
Zheng Haoran also came over and told her about their "young master uncle". After hearing what she said, Zheng Haoran smiled and handed over his hands: "Please don't take it personally, Mr. Junior Master. There is nothing wrong with this young master uncle, he is just a little bit...
Smelly."
He paused for a moment: "There are many Jianghu gangs here, do you want my subordinates to go and explore them?"
Yan Shiyue snorted, "No need, someone has already gone to check it out."
Zheng Haoran saw that she suddenly became unhappy. Although he didn't know why, he didn't dare to ask: "Yes." (To be continued)
