Chapter 901 Drawing a List

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Early the next morning, outside the governor¡¯s office, the entire street was packed with people who came to complain.

    ???????????????????????????? Hai Rui only accepted the prosecution but failed to go to court, which really worried the people of Songjiang for several days, thinking that even Haizhong Cheng would not dare to attack the Xu family.

    Now it seems that the sea warriors are still fearless and just fight to the end.

    As soon as the hour came, the gate outside the governor's office opened, and a clerk took the numbered papers and called the plaintiffs and defendants at the front to come in and wait on the platform in front of the lobby.

    Hai Rui and other officials were already sitting in the courtroom, and the trial began as soon as they arrived.

    ????????????????? After a Spring Festival break, the Sea Fighter and his Tenth Hall Yama came out with full firepower and concluded 800 cases in one day!

    Most of them are accusations that the Xu family has invaded the property of ordinary people.

    In this regard, the Xu family was not panicked at first.  Because of the land acquired within five years, Mr. Xu Ge had already said hello to them and voluntarily gave up.  This is also the reason why the 40,000 acres of farmland were retired.

    As for those five years ago, according to the current "Penalty Regulations", there is a five-year prosecution period for land disputes.  That is to say, as long as the property has been transferred for more than five years, the seller cannot demand redemption for any reason.

    As long as the Xu family gave up their land within five years, legally speaking, they would be in an invincible position, so Xu Jie felt confident and rejected Hai Rui's unreasonable request.

    "Hai Rui, haven't you always said that you don't act in accordance with the law? Now we are discussing the law of the country with you. What will you do?"

    "It's a pity that no one knows the Ming law better than Hai Rui. He actually bypassed the "Regulations on Punishment" and judged the case based on the "Ming Law" formulated by Emperor Taizu.  Because according to the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty", such cases can be prosecuted indefinitely!

    The "Regulations on Punishment" were originally concocted by the scholar-bureaucrat group to protect themselves from the harsh restrictions of the "Da Ming Code".  Now Hai Rui uses the "Da Ming Law" to decide the Xu family's case, which will cost the Xu family's life!

    On the first day alone, the governor's Yamen sentenced more than 300 members of the Xu family's clan and slaves on charges of "accepting donations," "concealing property, evading taxes, and the amount was extremely large."

    Among them are Xu Jie¡¯s three brothers, Xu Long, Xu Chen, and Xu Zhi, as well as more than 20 descendants and nephews, including Xu Fan, Xu Kun, and Xu Ying.

    This is the Xu family in the capital city with a relatively small population. In the Xu family's old house in Sijing, Xu Ge's cousins, nephews, and grandsons were convicted more than a handful.

    ¡°And unlike in Suzhou before, immediately after the verdict was announced, Hai Rui issued tickets and dispatched officers and soldiers to arrest everyone in the Xu family and bring them to justice.

    This startled Niu Qianshi and others, and they hurriedly persuaded the sea warrior to think twice: "Because of the old brother Xu Ge, many of the Xu family have official bodies or crowns, and at the worst, they also have fame to protect themselves. How can we just take it?"  ?¡±

    "Please order the flag from the king!" Hai Rui stood up and bowed his head towards the north.

    Amidst the deep and solemn sound of drums, the flag officer escorted four pairs of royal flags up.

    Hai Rui first took off a pair of flags, handed them to Zhong Zhenji and said, "Hurry up and take two hundred soldiers and horses to the Xu Mansion of Nanchan Temple to fetch people. If one of them escapes, come and see him!"

    "It's your order!" Seeing that the king's flags and flags were all brought out, Zhong Zhenji knew that Hai Gong was going to give it a go, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he quickly took the order and left.

    "You two quickly take five hundred soldiers and horses to Xujiabang, Sijing to pick up some people. You let one go and come back to see him!" Hai Rui awarded another pair of flags to Zheng Yue and Commissioner Wang.

    The two of them quickly obeyed the order and left.

    Hai Rui awarded the third flag to Niu Qianshi and said after a pause: "Take two hundred soldiers and horses to Tuisi Garden to protect Mr. Xu Ge. Don't let him leave your sight!  "

    "" Niu Qianshi groaned secretly. He could understand the connotation of Hai Gong's order. It was really exciting.

    Forget it, just think of it as revenge for Lin Zhongcheng!

    "Yes!" Thinking of this, Niu Qianshi puffed out white air from his nose, his heart tightened, and he responded.

    ??~~

    Soon, the soldiers from the governor's Yamen went to all parts of the city.

    The people watched the officers and soldiers carrying long guns, wearing red and blue uniforms and leggings, marching through the city in formation.  The cloth shoes studded with iron nails made the dust fly on the ground, making a frightening clicking sound.

    "The governor's Yamen is handling the case, avoid! Avoid!" The leading officers and soldiers used their guns to disperse the crowd blocking the way.

    People hid one after another and stood on both sides of the road looking around.

    "Are you going to Nanzenji Temple?"

    "Are you going to disturb the Xu family?!"

    "Eighty percent yes! Let's go and take a look!" The people who were still scared at first suddenly became more energetic.

    The Xu family has been dominating the city for decadesIt is not an exaggeration to say that if you do good things, you will do all the bad things.  Besides, his family suddenly became wealthy thanks to the old man. Who in the city wouldn¡¯t be jealous?

    What¡¯s more, the super pleasure of pulling the earth emperor off his horse and stomping on his feet may never be experienced once in his life.

    The citizens were no longer afraid now. They dropped what they were doing and followed the officers and soldiers to watch the fun.

    The officers and soldiers of the brigade arrived at Nanchan Temple in a blink of an eye. They walked under the archways engraved with "Tanhuajidi", "Shangzhuguo", "Dazongbo", "Grand Scholar" and "Shoufu Elder", just like  In a short period of time, I admired Mr. Xu Ge's glorious career.

    "It's a pity that no matter how glorious the official career is, it has to come to an end. The glory of the past can no longer protect the largest family in Songjiang.

    The officers and soldiers followed Zhong Zhifu and came to the gate of Xu Mansion.

    The Xu family had already gotten wind of the news and closed the door tightly, no matter how hard the police in the mansion banged on the door, there was no answer.

    "Bump the door!" Now that the matter was over, there was nothing to hesitate about, so Zhong Zhenji waved his hand.

    There were ten officers and soldiers immediately, carrying logs wrapped with iron heads.  First, he took a run-up, and then placed the goal-breaking hammer on the door of Xu Mansion.

    Although the door is extremely thick and covered with iron and inlaid with copper, it cannot withstand such a level of impact.

    After only three or two blows, the iron hoop and nails connected to the door frame were knocked off, and after two more blows, he was knocked to the ground.

    The Xu family servant inside the door screamed and dodged, and was almost crushed under the collapsed door panel.

    "Go in!" Seeing the door open, Zhongzhenji ordered: "Arrest the people according to the list, seal all the account books and deeds, and bring them all back to the prison!"

    The agents from the prefect¡¯s Yamen rushed in with their officers and soldiers.

    In the Xu Mansion, there lived the three old masters of the Xu family, their respective children and grandchildren, and their female dependents and servants, totaling a thousand people.

    How can you be polite to them when the officers and soldiers rush in like wolves and tigers?  Although there is no vandalism or looting, violent actions and vulgar language are inevitable.

    Suddenly, ghosts and wolves howled everywhere in Xu's residence, and women screamed one after another, as if they had been tortured.

    Xu Zhi, the youngest brother of Mr. Xu Ge, who was serving as the right minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Punishment, happened to be at the house at this time.

    Hearing the chaos outside, he quickly put on his pants and came out to check.

    The Xu family, who were running away after being chased by the army, came to him.
