Chapter 234： Uprooted

Chapter 234 Uprooted

She took Yang Xiaotao and Zheng Fengshou, and picked out those collateral descendants, slaves, guards, shopkeepers, and assistants of the Wang family who were obviously hated and feared by the local people.

After checking them out, Ye Anlan followed the dozens of threads drawn by these people to investigate other collateral children who looked like dogs on the surface, but actually did all kinds of bad things behind their backs.

After peeling off the skins of these hypocrites, Ye Anlan took people to investigate those pure playboys who belonged to Wang's direct lineage but had no right to speak.

Actually, the accusations and evidence in Ye Anlan's hand were superimposed, which was enough for her to uproot the Wang family, but Ye Anlan did not stop because of this.

She began to go in and out of the royal family at night. The three of them first arrested those evil servants who had proved their crimes and were trusted by the master's house, and tortured them to extract confessions. evidence.

It took seven full days to be so busy. It was not until the eighth morning when she and Pan Xiting agreed to take over the matter that Ye Anlan, together with Zheng Fengshou and Yang Xiaotao, who also had deep dark circles under their eyes, handed over all the evidence and files Hand it over to Pan Xiting to deal with the aftermath.

While covering her mouth and yawning, she said to Pan Xiting with tears in her eyes: "I will leave the rest of the matter to you. You can allocate half of my guards to use, and you can also allocate some of the guards to help you." Press down."

Pan Xiting looked at Ye Anlan who was so sleepy that tears came out. His conscience that had disappeared for a long time came online for a rare moment. He asked someone to carry away the files and evidence, "Don't worry, my lord, Xiting will definitely uproot the Wang family."

Ye Anlan nodded, "Remember that the trial must be open, and the other thing is to encourage the common people who have been wronged to come to the Yamen to avenge themselves. As long as the evidence of the crime is convincing, no matter how complicated the matter is, you must give everyone justice."

The people who live the hardest life in this world are the common people, whether they are officials, yamen servants, bandits or refugees, or even those rebels under the banner of acting on behalf of the heavens. When they want to choose someone to oppress, they will always choose "Persimmons are specially selected for soft pinch".

On the contrary, it is a rich family like the Wang family, whether it is officials, government servants, bandits and refugees, or the so-called rebels, they are often afraid when confronting them and dare not act rashly.

Originally, Ye Anlan actually didn't want to go to the point of "beating the local tyrants and dividing the land". She always had to be wary of the other gentry under her rule, and she couldn't let these people join hands to do everything possible because of their cold lips and teeth. Wrap her up.

She is not afraid of these people, but in the process of their making troubles, the most innocent and suffering are actually those ordinary people who are regarded as ants.

Anyway, productivity is low these days, and there are flat lands that have not been reclaimed. Ye Anlan would rather pay for the food, money and policy, and call on the people to reclaim the wasteland, than to clean up the gentry under her command just after completing a conquest.

But this doesn't mean that Ye Anlan will be afraid of them and pamper them like others. She will never allow anyone within her territory who dares to trip her and her officials and make insidious tricks to prevent her from promoting herself. stumbling block to government orders.

She wants to use her actual actions to tell the royal family, and tell those so-called rich and famous families who don’t know the heights of heaven and earth—the emperor can take turns to do it, let alone you so-called gentry who have only survived for three or two hundred years!

Thinking about these messy things in her heart, Ye Anlan went back to her room and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, the sun had already turned from rising in the east to setting in the west. She walked out of the room, washed up briefly, and then sat down to eat the simple dinner that the cook had sent.

After dinner, she asked Yang Xiaotao, who was eating with her, "Has Master Pan gone to the office?"

Yang Xiaotao shook her head, "The people guarding the gate of the county government are waiting to complain to him, and he didn't even have dinner."

In the morning, Pan Xiting led people to surround Wang's house, and at the same time ordered the guards to seal the city, only allowing people to enter and not leaving.

Afterwards, he ordered the whole city to beat gongs and drums to inform the people.

When the people heard that the Wang family had fallen, and all the Wang family members were being tried in the yamen, their first reaction was not to breathe a sigh of relief or cry with joy, nor to immediately take the evidence and go to the yamen to file a complaint.

On the contrary, they directly suspected that the officials who were on the call were pure fakes, so that the teams of officers in charge of publicity could only swear and swear, while letting everyone go to the gate of the yamen by themselves.

Perhaps the idea of ​​"revenge for revenge" is too tempting, and there are people who really hate certain members of the Wang family, so they bravely went to the Yamen for a walk.

Of course, some people who were afraid of the downfall of the Wang family mixed in with those who were looking forward to the downfall of the Wang family, and quietly walked to the state government gate.

As soon as they went there, everyone immediately saw the main figures of the Wang family who were either wearing wooden shackles or their hands were chained with iron chains. .

Directly in front of them is the current state official Pan Xiting sitting in the innermost part of the courtroom, and in front of them are several officials, petty officials, and masters who are responsible for assisting in the interrogation and recording the case.

As for the rest of the royal family, the men have been chained up by armed soldiers and locked up in a large open space on the side of the courthouse and inside the state government office. The female family members and children are being taken to the state government prison one after another. , when they need to be interrogated, someone will bring one of them to court again.

This scene is too dreamy. Those who came to find out, no one thought that the Wang family who had occupied Yanzhou for more than 280 years would end up like this one day.

"Where are those **** of the Wang family? Why didn't you see them?" Some of the servants, guards, shopkeepers, or guys who had grudges against the Wang family's servants, after recovering from their senses, immediately began to look around, looking for their enemies, but they But I didn't see those subordinates of the Wang family on the state government side.

"They've been locked up in the empty house next door." Some of the melon-eaters who came earlier loudly clarified this hate-faced man through several people, "There are too many people, and the yamen simply can't fit here. "

Couldn’t it just be too much to fit in? The Wang family not only has a lot of shopkeepers, buddies, and servants, but also has a ridiculously large number of guards.

One of the important reasons why the Wang family jumped so much before was that they raised a number of young and middle-aged guards far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Although more than 90% of these people have not received any formal training, but they have a large number of people, and they dare to kill. They have worked in the Wang family for a long time, and they are all vicious people with countless blood on their hands. .

If it wasn't for the fact that the soldiers under Ye Anlan's command had experienced systematic training that far surpassed the intensity of military training in this era, and they had also experienced several battles since joining the army. Accumulated a lot of combat experience, these thugs who have been raised by the Wang family for nearly ten years may be able to make them capsize in a small river ditch.
