Chapter 825 Xu Mingwei pleads guilty

After Du Fei finished reporting, Su Yonglin stopped talking.

After a while, he suddenly laughed coldly. The laughter seemed to be pulled out of a worn-out bellows. It was extremely permeating.

"Two beauties, two beauties took down my branch director, and two beauties made him turn a blind eye to all this, hehehe..."

This laughter made Du Fei feel a little cold, and a lot of goosebumps appeared on his body.

Su Yonglin was silent for a while, then reached out and tapped the table.

"Where is Xu Mingwei now?"

"In order not to arouse the vigilance of Chen Luo and Qiu Dao, we put Xu Mingwei back and let him continue to confuse these people. Now Xu Mingwei is under our strict surveillance, and he is still the magistrate of Shouzhang County, and is still handling daily government affairs, just wait. With His Majesty's order, it can be taken down immediately."

Su Yonglin nodded.

After a while, he stopped tapping on the table, sent someone to call Chai Yang over, and started assigning tasks to Chai Yang from the people on the list.

The subordinate troops were broken down into small units, and with the emperor's order, Xingye traveled to the destination to arrest all the target people.

Take all the bastard officials from Jinan, Zizhou, Dizhou, Binzhou, and Yidu, put them on trial on the spot, and accurately blast the local criminal network.

The first wave dealt with the criminal officials in the state capitals along the Yellow River Project, and the second wave went on to deal with the officials and landlords and businessmen in the south who cooperated with them to clean up the stolen money.

The entire action plan is divided into two steps.

The main person responsible for carrying out the task is the army of the First Division of the Destruction of the Enemy Army under Chai Yang's command, and Du Fei's task is to dispatch spies who are familiar with the road to assist Chai Yang, lead the way for the army, and facilitate the army to achieve precise strikes.

And Su Yonglin himself took the personal guards to Shouzhang County, and then to Xucheng County.

On April [-], Su Yonglin went to Shouzhang County with the assistance of the transport fleet of Liu Qing, a secret agent of the [-]th Action Group, and met Xu Mingwei, the magistrate of Shouzhang County in the county government office.

Xu Mingwei was about 30 years old, with a fair complexion, and he looked like a Confucian scholar who hadn't suffered much. No wonder he couldn't stand the torture of the [-]th Action Team.

When Su Yonglin saw Xu Mingwei, Xu Mingwei was still working as the magistrate of Shouzhang, but it was obvious that he was no longer able to do this job.

"Criminal, Xu Mingwei, meet Your Majesty!"

Xu Mingwei knelt down in front of Su Yonglin, paralyzed all over.

Su Yonglin glanced at him in disgust.

"Get up and talk."

"Here."

Xu Mingwei swayed and stood up, shivering and weak.

"How many years have you been the magistrate of Shouzhang?"

Su Yonglin picked up the tea bowl in his hand, lifted the lid of the bowl, and blew the hot air coming towards him.

"Go back to Your Majesty, it's been two years."

"That is to say, it has been done since the first year of Hongwu?"

"Yes."

"How many times did you break the law?"

"Your Majesty, the sinner... the sinner is only this time! No other laws have been violated!"

Xu Mingwei quickly defended himself: "The sinner really didn't have any greed before this. It's really because Chen Luo was too arrogant this time, and the sinner was forced to be helpless, and then... only then did he join forces."

"Being forced to be helpless?"

Su Yonglin took a sip of hot tea and said slowly, "I heard that when Chen Luo asked you to take the money, only the mayor of Guanshan Town did not take it, and everyone else took it."

"The sinner... the sinner really doesn't dare to offend Chen Luo, and he wants to go further in the officialdom, let alone offend Chen Luo, he... he is simply covering the sky with one hand, Your Majesty!"

Xu Mingwei burst into tears as he spoke, with a sincere look. If he hadn't known that this guy was throwing the blame, Su Yonglin would have believed it.

"Xu Mingwei, I have a question for you."

"Please, Your Majesty."

"Is it Chen Luo or the court officials who can make you an official?"

Su Yonglin put down the tea bowl and stared at Xu Mingwei.

Xu Mingwei swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said with difficulty: "It is indeed the Ministry of Officials, but Your Majesty, in the officialdom, it is difficult to support alone. If you have no friends, no arms, and no one to help you run away when something goes wrong, it will not last long. To go further, there is no one who does not make friends.

Guanshan Town is over [-] years old, and he has no further ideas, so he can be fearless. If he doesn't want it, he won't want it. The minister is still [-] years old, and he still has the desire to further expand his ambitions. He really doesn't dare to offend Chen here. Luo, I hope Your Majesty has a clear view! ! "

Xu Mingwei knelt down, as if intending to ask Su Yonglin for leniency with such sincere words.

Su Yonglin nodded.

"Well, for the so-called desire to make a big picture, you are willing to break the law and commit crimes. It can be seen that your desire is not a serious desire, nor is a person a serious person. You are full of benevolence and morality, and your heart is full of dirty calculations."

Seeing that Su Yonglin saw through his own essence, Xu Mingwei was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and shivered, not daring to say anything.

Su Yonglin hated him very much and was very unhappy, but since he was still useful, Su Yonglin gave him a chance.

"I have signed the confession and signed it. I can not exile your family, let your family work in the local area, and return the public funds."

Xu Mingwei heard a month ago that the emperor launched a wave of anti-corruption in Zhongdu, and the treatment of officials who violated the law was very cruel. Not only did he have to be severely punished, most of them died, his family members were also exiled, and they had to do hard work designated by the state. Used to make money to return the state money embezzled by officials.

Amnesty is useless, tolerance is useless, before the public funds are repaid, unless the whole family is dead, it will be repaid from generation to generation.

This is even more cruel than three generations who are not allowed to take the imperial examinations and engage in public duties.

Three generations are imprisoned, and the big deal is that everyone will marry early and have children early. If we strive to go through the journey of these three generations in four or fifty years, the family can still prosper.

But the family all worked hard to pay back the debt until it was paid off.

60.00% of the monthly income has to be repaid in arrears, and studying requires a full-time job, which requires a rich family background. Without a rich family background, one cannot afford to support a full-time scholar, cannot participate in the imperial examination, and cannot compete with other scholars.

If they can't compete with other scholars, they can't become an official, and if they can't become an official, they can't change the family's situation. Under such a system, the family has almost no chance of turning over.

Either die, or it is the hard work of the poorest generations to repay the money, and only after the repayment is there is the possibility of turning over.

This is really scary.

In this era of attaching importance to family inheritance, Su Yonglin's rule obviously hit everyone's seven inches, so when they learned that Su Yonglin went south to check accounts, they were so panicked.

No one wants to let their family suffer such terrifying treatment, it is really better to die.

And this panic, the eleventh action team caught the fox's tail.

When Xu Mingwei was approached by the [-]th Action Team, he was horrified. After being interrogated, he was heartbroken. When he learned that he still had a chance to be a tainted witness, he rekindled the fire of hope.

He forgot everyone's agreement without hesitation, and directly spit out everything he knew, allowing the action team to quickly target the corruption group in Dongping House.

So Su Yonglin gave him a special "preferential treatment".

His family did not need to be exiled, but they did state-designated work locally.

Compared to the families of prisoners who had to be exiled to remote areas to do hard work, his family was undoubtedly lucky.

Although it cannot be exempted from the guilt, at least there is no need to leave the local area, so Xu Mingwei has no choice.

He knew that he would probably not survive, but he was still satisfied to be able to help his family in the end.

So he signed and deposited it honestly, willing to use his life to guarantee the truth of what he said, and the secret accounts he voluntarily handed over were also submitted to the [-]th Action Team, which was handed over to Su Yonglin, who took the Dongping Mansion's corruption case in its original form. revealed.

The amount of the crime directly belonging to Xu Mingwei was 600 million yuan, and the proceeds from the house raids were not enough, and the rest had to be repaid through the labor of the family.

Xu Mingwei himself could not survive, but his family did not need to be exiled to remote areas, which undoubtedly increased the survival rate.

Finally, Su Yonglin asked Xu Mingwei a question.

"Have you ever thought that you will end up like this one day?"
