The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 427
"Oh, I really didn't expect that at this point, I still want money rather than my life."

Lin Hai said with a smile.

The magistrate quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please forgive me this time, sir. I am willing to donate all my family wealth."

Lin Hai threw the evidence that Zhuang Kang handed over in front of him.

"You should see for yourself. As a local official, you actually colluded with the people of the Salt Gang to harm the people.

The sins you have committed are enough to make you die ten thousand times.

What else do you have to say? "

The prefect quickly picked up the paper and read it quickly, making him tremble with fear.

Crying with snot and tears.

"Sir, you can't believe what these ruffians say.

In order to absolve himself of his own guilt, he framed me indiscriminately. "

"Have you been framed? Is it necessary to conduct a more careful investigation?

I came here for an unannounced visit, how dare you accept 7 taels of silver.

In order to facilitate accepting bribes, a pawn shop was opened specifically for businessmen to purchase antiques.

Is this also an injustice to you? "

Lin Hai asked coldly.

"This..." The prefect was suddenly speechless.

It was all obvious and there was no room for him to deny it.

I could only kneel on the ground and continue to beg for mercy.

"Now I give you a chance to reduce your culpability. As a prefect, you are lawless in accepting bribes.

The officials below you are probably not much better than you.

Write down all the incriminating evidence you know.

Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist.

If there is any protection or cover-up, I will chop off your head immediately. "

"Come here, drag these injured people down to the doctors for treatment."

The power of the crossbow was very strong, and the officer who was wounded by the shot was bleeding all the time.

If you wait a little longer, you may really lose your life.

No matter what crime they committed, they must be sentenced after trial.

Lin Hai took the brush and paper and threw them in front of the prefect.

"Write quickly, my patience is limited!"

The prefect knelt on the ground and hesitated to write.

"You don't want to write it, do you? Since you still want to continue to fight to the end, there is no need to keep you!

Someone come, take him out, chop him up, and then use him for three days! "

Shitou agreed and led his men to capture the prefect.

"You can't kill me. I am an official of the court. Even if I commit a crime, I have to be interrogated by the court."

The prefect struggled and yelled.

He had already thought clearly just now. Anyway, Lin Hai only had the power to interrogate him at most, and had no qualifications to punish him.

Even if the evidence is conclusive, he must be escorted to the capital and sentenced to death.

He could take advantage of this period to send people to send money to the capital for management.

As long as someone can protect him, not only can his life be saved, but his official position may also be saved.

As long as you have an official position, you can get back hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in just a few years.

So he decided to bite the bullet and refuse to admit guilt.

"You said that I am not qualified to kill you? The Queen Mother personally made the decree, and I have the right to kill you first and then report.

A dog officer like you can be killed without interrogation as long as the evidence is solid. "

The prefect was stunned after hearing this. This gave him too much power.

Lin Hai waved his hand impatiently and said: "Why are you still standing there, pull him out and chop him down quickly.

We still have to continue interrogating the county magistrates below.

I don’t have that much time to waste with him! "

Shitou forcibly pulled the magistrate out.

"My lord, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I will write down everything I know."

The prefect was completely panicked now.

He has never seen anything like this in his many years as an official.Even the interrogation process is omitted, and the head will be beheaded directly.

He was not even given the opportunity to discuss and give gifts.

"Put him down first!"

Lin Hai looked at him coldly and said: "My temper is not very good, and my patience is very limited.

If you dare to continue delaying and deceiving me, I will cut you into pieces.

If you cannot satisfy me, I will sentence you to death in Lingchi! "

The prefect swallowed nervously and nodded quickly.

"I must write it as soon as possible, and I will make sure to satisfy you."

Lin Hai sat on his seat, crossed his legs and said, "Then hurry up."

Let Shitou call all the government servants over.

"I know that you have helped the emperor in the past, but most of you followed the prefect's instructions.

These crimes have nothing to do with you.

But you must atone for your mistakes. If you perform well, you can continue to work in the Yamen. "

"Thank you for your grace!"

The yamen servant quickly knelt on the ground to thank him.

Lin Hai's style of doing things was so domineering that he even dared to kill people in the yamen.

Each of these government officials was so frightened that they did not dare to breathe.

If they could be spared their guilt, it would be a dream.

“You immediately send someone to inform the county magistrate, and all officials above the county seat will come to see the prefect.

That is to say, if the prefect has important matters to discuss with them, he should rush over as quickly as possible without allowing any delay. "

Lin Hai was a little worried that they would tip off the news and ask his men to follow them.

The prefect wrote the evidence of the crime, and after hearing Lin Hai's instructions, he knew that the situation was over.

All officials here will probably be punished.

The most important thing is that Zhuang Kangcheng has confessed everything and written down everything they did.

It's no use denying it even if they want to.

Lin Hai has the power to kill first and report later, without reporting to the court.

No matter how many tricks the prefect has, he can't do it.

The only thing he could do now was to confess quickly and honestly.Then he tried every means to get Lin Hai to spare his life.

As I was writing, I was thinking hard about what method I should use to make this imperial envoy fall in love.

Yuhuashi also sat aside, sipping tea with Lin Hai.

Quietly gave him a thumbs up.

Lin Hai smiled knowingly.

The rules in the officialdom are very complicated. Anyone who comes to investigate this matter will be unanimously resisted by these officials.

But I don't care about this at all.

He has the absolute trust of the Queen Mother and also holds military power.

There is already evidence, and as long as it is confirmed that he is not unjustly accused, he can do whatever he wants.

Damn the officials, just cut them off.

Even if someone files a complaint, they will only bring humiliation to themselves.

Gong Yanwu will always be on her side.

Of course, those envoys might also accuse Lin Hai of not following the rules.

But Lin Hai didn't care at all.

Anyway, I never thought about being an official forever. Even if the ministers objected, the most would be to cut off the official position.

None of the other officials had any concerns.

On the contrary, chatting with these officials will waste a lot of time.

In this situation, you have to cut through the mess quickly and use thunderous means to clean them all up.

Not long after, county magistrates from various places arrived one after another.

As soon as I came in, I saw two young people sitting and drinking tea.

The prefect actually knelt on the ground and wrote something.

This shocked all the officials and they didn't know what was happening!
