Chapter 1334 The Iron Fist of Justice

The very first thing they did was to immediately launch a land reform campaign in Hangzhou city and its surrounding areas.

All members of the Renaissance Association in the Zhejiang and Zhejiang regions participated in it, and under the arrangement of Su Changsheng, Zhang Shi and others, they launched an all-round liquidation and attack on the landlords and gentry in the Hangzhou Prefecture area.

This is the traditional skill of the Revival Society, and it is not difficult to operate.

Without much effort, they hoisted up and beat the local landlords and gentry who were unaware of the entire operation, and successfully turned them into one after another.

As the main leader of the Jiangnan Regional Revival Association, Su Changsheng is mainly responsible for this part of the matter.

And Zhang Shi has other tasks to be responsible for.

That's the second thing.

Zhang Shi decided to take this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive review of the middle and lower-level officials and officials of the Hangzhou court, as well as the recovery of stolen goods.

As the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty for 40 years, Hangzhou was not only prosperous, but also a well-known place for hiding evil. Many officials would find a safe place to hide their criminal evidence inside and outside Hangzhou when they did illegal things.

Most of these crimes are money, and there are also witnesses.

Most of the people who were going to escape this time were high-ranking officials. A large number of middle and low-level officials and officials did not escape, so they did not prepare in advance. A large number of stolen goods were still in their hands, or hidden in a corner of Hangzhou City.

As a former high-ranking official in the imperial court, Zhang Shi knew a lot about such incidents. He knew that in addition to high-ranking officials and dignitaries, the lower-level officials were also miserable.

He wants to clean up the city of Hangzhou completely, so that all the shameful activities will be exposed to the world, and this time the task of liquidation will be completely completed.

The revolution pays attention to a liquidation, and pays attention to a clean and thorough liquidation. Therefore, the liquidation must be liquidated to the end, and there must be no omissions.

Don't think that except for high-ranking officials and dignitaries, these small fish and shrimp are innocent, and the small fish and shrimp are the main body, and the main body that directly brings pain to the people.

So how can you let them go?

Zhang Shi then started a comprehensive operation, military management of Hangzhou City, liquidation of officials and officials in Hangzhou City, and restrictions on entry and exit of Hangzhou City, without official documents, no entry or exit.

Because the control of this aspect is relatively good, there is no problem in Hangzhou City during the entire operation.

High-ranking officials and dignitaries were kept under guard in prison, waiting for Su Yonglin to come before a public interrogation.

The little fish and shrimps started the interrogation first, retrieving the stolen goods, and let them feel the iron fist of justice.

During the liquidation period, Zhang Shi also presided over a major reversal of the case against the ordinary people in Hangzhou City. In order to mobilize the people in the city to launch a comprehensive struggle against the officials and officials, they were allowed to come to the Ming government to sue the officials and officials they wanted to sue. say the name, and then make it clear.

As long as they are bullied, they can say anything, and they can say what they have committed.

As long as it is verified that they are really victims, the Daming government will definitely give them justice.

The news spread, and the people of the entire Hangzhou city were mobilized.

There is too much bitter water in their hearts that they want to spit out, and they do not doubt the complete liquidation of Jiangnan by Ming.

It is no longer a country, and it is a matter of course to turn over the old accounts. Isn't it beautiful to take this opportunity to avenge revenge and revenge for injustice?

So they went to the government to file a lawsuit.

After a period of sorting out, Zhang Shi found that the most direct injuries suffered by ordinary people mainly came from the officials.

Including those tax collectors, catchers, city gate guards and the like, they have to do all kinds of evil when they eat the card, whoever gives more money will go to whomever, if they have a little bit of power, they have to play with flowers, tossing the people of Hangzhou to death. To live.

As long as there is any small friction or controversy among the people, when these guys make money, they tell the parties to give money openly or secretly.

This is rather conscientious.

Some unscrupulous two take all, and in the end, both sides of the incident are directly thrown into prison, and they win twice.

There are also some small officials who are very wicked, or have no virtue at all.

They especially like to bully widows and eat dead families.

It is very difficult for a widow to survive alone these days. Once her husband dies, she has no son to support her. No matter how far her husband's relatives are, they all come out and demand to take away the husband's property, or deceive or directly rob them, making these widows very miserable. .

Widows also have their own survival needs, and they will try their best to protect themselves. It would be better if their parents were a little stronger or willing to help, but if their parents couldn’t do anything, they could only rely on themselves.

The main method they rely on themselves is to find someone to marry, and then rely on the power of the newly married man to drive away those relatives who want to eat the dead.

Relatives who are less timid do not dare to compete with the locals and often choose to retreat.

If you really want to meet some people who are desperate for money, then as a local, you will also have a certain advantage in the government. The big deal is to buy some money to bribe the officials and let them know what home field advantage is.

Because this kind of thing is relatively common, some small officials who have not yet married will set their sights on the target and talk to these widows about marriage.

They often used their own local officials as bargaining chips to select wealthy widows, and let these widows believe in them, marry them, and use their husband's property as a dowry.

Then they would beat up the relatives who wanted to seize the property, and sit back and enjoy the success.

Some widows are beautiful, and these little officials can accept it, so they can live in peace.

Some of them are older or not very good-looking, and these little officials will find an excuse to divorce the widow soon, and in this way, they will directly obtain a lot of wealth.

There are really some small officials who rely on this high-end method to accumulate wealth and become wealthy in Hangzhou, and suddenly become a hot commodity in the local marriage and love market. Many good-hearted people point to marry him, and come to the door to talk about marriage. matchmakers one by one.

It's hard to say how many blood and tears of widows are involved in this, and whether human life is involved in it.

Of course, there was no way to settle things in the past, but now the times have changed, and the era of great reckoning has begun. After these things were pierced, some people who looked like dogs were judged justly.

From the very beginning of its establishment, the Hangzhou Special Trial Yamen has been constantly receiving complaints from the public. According to the content of the complaint, Zhang Zhi will ask people to find relevant petty officials and officials, and pull them out to inquire about the true story of the incident. After investigation, they will be tried and finally executed.

Hangzhou people feel very fresh and excited about this.

It is a very risky thing to sue officials with the people. It has been the case in all dynasties. However, the Ming Dynasty has opened an interesting opening. Although they don't know how long it will last, at least for now, they are very happy.

There is revenge for revenge and revenge for injustice, sooner or later what should come will come.

Through this series of trials, these scumbags and petty officials were executed in large numbers, and their property was also screened.

It has to be said that there are really many crimes of this kind, and overall, 90.00% of the petty officials in Hangzhou have committed immoral things and need to be punished.

So that the remaining [-]% of the clerks can be called a miracle on earth.

Everything else is just as Zhang Shi and others expected beforehand. Even if the news of Hangzhou City being occupied by the Ming army can be spread to other places, can these places organize the army of King Qin to launch a counterattack to retake Hangzhou?

Are there any other cards that the Hangzhou court can play?
