Hai Rui followed Tang Yi in the Maritime Administration for several years. He learned a lot of experience in doing things from Tang Yi. The most important one is to occupy the righteousness and seize the commanding heights.

Tang Yi was best at painting big cakes, fooling a large group of people to follow him, and fighting against each other. He just divided the iron-clad southeast, and used the big families who mastered land workshops to kill the big family at sea.

How can you not imitate successful experiences? Hai Rui knew in his heart that suddenly throwing out clearing of land would offend all gentry and would trigger a strong rebound. The first thing he did was to investigate the backlog of old cases over the years and to give the people justice.

It is the responsibility of every local official to clarify right and wrong and uphold justice, and no one can find fault.

Hai Rui ordered a thorough investigation, but it was amazing. There were as many as 50,000 or 60,000 cases in the southern Zhili governments alone, including the crimes of Susong's governments, 80,000 or more were land and property disputes, and more than 10% were commercial conflicts. As for murders and injuries, the number of cases was minimal.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. Over the past decade, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been booming in industry and commerce, and their business has grown bigger and bigger. Workshops are built everywhere, land is merged everywhere, and countless workers are employed. Equity disputes and business conflicts are numerous.

However, Su Song's local governments were limited, and traditional officials were not proficient. When encountering financial disputes, they would throw them aside, or simply mix them up, causing them to be delayed for a long time and become a backlog of old cases.

In contrast, they can solve the case of hurting people, especially murder cases.

After Hai Rui figured out the situation, he immediately started an interrogation of these land disputes. Haimanzi's amazing work efficiency was reflected again. He could handle two or three hundred cases a day on average, and sometimes even reach an astonishing seven hundred.

It’s not enough to have the number alone. People say that the yamen is facing south, so don’t come in if you have something to do or have money. Hai Rui does not accept gifts or behaves with personal gains, and specializes in presiding justice for the people. In half a month, he has decided 3,000 cases, and 95% of them are the winners of ordinary people.

Among these three thousand cases, more than 400 are directed at the Xu family in Huating, accounting for almost one-sixth!

There are land grabbing, mergers and workshops, bullying and dominating the market, and hoarding... The Xu family's methods of making money are emerging one after another, as numerous as cows, which makes Hai Rui stunned.

Hai Rui investigated and cleaned up the Xu family's bottom based on the case files of the government over the years.

When the summary was made, everyone was dumbfounded. According to calculations, only Xu Jie's three sons, more than a dozen grandsons, and dozens of nephews, the core members of the Xu family, had a total of 500,000 mu of land, including 180,000 mu of mulberry fields and 320,000 mu of farmland.

In addition, the Xu family also has a large number of servants, servants, relatives and friends, and students... Among them, Xu Jie, a housekeeper, has 40,000 to 50,000 acres of land, which is simply horrifying!

"Mr. Zhenchuan, if I remember correctly, in the 45th year of Jiajing, until the first year of Longqing, Mr. Tang checked the Xu family's land once, but it was not returned most of it, why are there so much?" Hai Rui asked in surprise.

The person who is called "Zhenchuan Gong" is not someone else, but the famous poet Gui Youguang. This old man is very talented, but he was not successful in the imperial examination. After passing the imperial examination, he failed the exam eight times in the first and miserable times. It was not until he was 60 that he was lucky enough to pass the third-level Jinshi.

However, since he became an official, Gui Youguang's career has been smooth. He was the first official in Jinan Prefecture. After his tenure, he was transferred to Nanjing to take over as the Minister of Revenue. When Songjiang Prefecture was vacant, the old man took over as the prefect of Songjiang at the age of 64. In recent years, Songjiang has become a major financial position in the court. The prefect is generally high-ranking, and is a fourth-rank official.

In other words, Gui Youguang became a Jinshi for four years and became a big red robe. His speed was so fast that he could be called a monster!

Some people say that the Master had been in good terms and was God who gave him the compensation for his most life of loneliness. Only Gui Youguang knew that it was nonsense. There was only one real reason. He was from Suzhou and had a good fellow villager, which was the current chief assistant Tang Yi. Without this person to protect him, Gui Youguang would not even be able to become a Jinshi.

Tang Yi promoted Gui Youguang, of course, not only did he learn his "Xiang Jixuan Zhi" in his previous life, but Gui Youguang has been in the southeast for decades, has made great reputations and has made extensive friends. His old eyes have lived in the world and nothing is unknown.

No, I'll use it now.

Hai Rui is a magic sword, but someone still needs to guide him where to cut!

"Mr. Zhongcheng, I did check a lot last time and returned a lot. However, because Altan invaded, Master Tang hurriedly returned north, and then Wu Shilai was transferred to Jiangxi, and a lot of land that needed to be returned were put on hold and not implemented. As a result, after Master Xu came back, the Xu family thought that he had a backer and became more and more misleading. Not only did they merge the land, they also forcibly invested in many silk and cotton workshops and merged them into their names. Now the Xu family is walking on two legs."

Hai Rui asked with a dark face, "Does Mr. Xu know?"

Gui Youguang hurriedly said, "Sir Zhongcheng, since Xu Jie returned home, he has not been concerned about the world, and has fun with his grandchildren and has been living his life. Maybe he really doesn't know."

Hai Rui raised his head and sneered slightly, "I really don't know?"

"Oh!" Gui Youguang sighed helplessly, and could only tell the truth: "Who is Xu Huating? What can you hide from him? Lord Zhongcheng, I have a few words that shouldn't be said, you see..."

"Tell me!"

"More than two years ago, Mr. Xu was the chief minister. Mr. Tang investigated him because he was not afraid of power. In addition, both the late emperor and the present value Mr. Tang, Mr. Xu could only suffer a loss. Now, Mr. Xu has retreated to the forest, and Mr. Tang has entered the cabinet. If he insists on investigating, he will become a traitor and a retired minister, killing him all, and being unkind and unrighteous... It's so unpleasant!"

Gui Youguang was very thoughtful. If you continue to investigate like this, it would be very unfavorable to Tang Yi. We are both people promoted by Lord Tang, so we can't cause trouble for the boss. No matter how stern Hai Rui is, we must not ignore the importance of it.

But Gui Youguang doesn’t understand it yet. If he retreats easily, it’s not Hai Rui.

"Mr. Zhenchuan, Lord Tang knows me, Haigangfeng. Since he dares to send me here, he only values ​​my temperament. If he loses his courage, will it still be Hai Rui?"

What a good guy, this guy is even more motivated and he is almost fighting through the sky!

"Tomorrow, I will take my card ticket to Xu's family to bring me all the housekeepers, servants, and slaves involved in the murder case and the case of embezzlement of land."

Gui Youguang shivered for a moment. This is not a small number. I am afraid there will be one or two hundred people. Can Xu Jie agree? But Hai Rui did not listen to his advice, so what else can he do? Gui Youguang walked out worriedly.

"etc."

Gui Youguang was happy and quickly turned back, "Sir, have you changed your mind?"

"I just read a file. Xu Jie's second son Xu Kun invaded a household of 200 acres of land. The victim sued and was falsely accused of death. Xu Kun sold their female family members to brothels. Does he have any laws in the court? He will arrest him too!"

If you want to touch the Xu family, Gui Youguang was stunned at that time.

...

In the hall of the Xu family, there were a large area of ​​men and women, including a hundred people. Xu Fan, Xu Kun, and Xu Ying, three sons knelt in front of them and cried loudly.

"Dad, my second brother has never done anything that hurts people's lives. Hai Rui just got a false accusation from an actress and singer, so he sent someone to arrest people. Where did he put our Xu family?" Xu Fan took the lead and cried.

Others also wiped their tears, and the entire Xu family was bleak, not to mention how miserable it was.

Xu Jie sat on the chair of the Grand Master, with a tense face and said nothing, but his face turned from blue to black.

Hate, really hate!

If you lose power, you will be a down-and-out phoenix, and no one will take it seriously!

If I had known this, even if I had fought to the death, I would not have handed over the power?

Xu Jie was extremely regretful, but there was no way.

The crutches in his hand kept knocking on the ground and said sadly and angrily: "I am mourning, so I'll leave it to wait for me to die. It's not too late for you to cry again!"

With one sentence, Xu Fan was so scared that he stopped his sad voice. He raised his head, his face filled with tears.

"Dad, you always have an idea!"

Xu Jie raised his head in pain and looked at the ceiling, laughing and crying, "I am the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he stood up and trembled and walked backwards, desolate and miserable, and could not stop him. In the eyes of Xu Fan and others, he was really like a loss of his parents, as if the end of the world was coming.

As the former chief assistant and Xu Jie, who had his disciples all over the world, is that so capable?

Of course not. He was driven off the stage and lost his power. He just used an egg to touch a stone. Only those who used softness to overcome hardness and pretended to be pitiful can he attract sympathy from public opinion and turn defeat into victory.

Xu Jie has been used to acting in this life, and he is not willing to show his true face to others even in front of his son. After sitting in the study for a while, he picked up the pen and ink, wrote two letters, and gave them to his two disciples.

Zhao Zhenji wrote a letter full of encouragement, so he asked him to do his best, display his ambitions, support the country, assist the saints, and relieve the people from the upside down.

The second letter was for Zhang Juzheng, full of grievances, telling him how miserable and pitiful he is now. In addition to sending letters, Lao Xu also sent Zhang Juzheng 30,000 taels of gold, and in addition, he sent people to spread the news, which made everyone know about it.

After all this, Xu Jie did not forget to take power. He knew that Zhao Zhenji was a gentleman and a gentleman could be deceived. The more he didn't say anything, the more Zhao Zhenji wanted to stand up for him.

As for Zhang Juzheng, he was not giving gifts at all, but slapped him in the face. He wanted to let the people in the world see how miserable Xu Huating was, and he had to kowtow to his disciples for mercy.

By the way, they also provoked a conflict between Zhang Juzheng and Zhao Zhenji and let them make trouble in the cabinet!

Sure enough, Xu Jie's letter was sent to the cabinet, and Zhao Zhenji could no longer sit still. He directly found the Chief Aunt's office, his face turned dark, "Cunzhai Gong has made contributions to the country, his old age is miserable, and those with knowledge in the world will be disappointed. You can't let Hai Rui do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng also came. He also looked ugly, "Yuan Fu, I have sealed the gold sent by the teacher. I will wait for it to fall. As for what Hai Rui did, I strongly support it and must investigate it to the end!"

What a good guy, he is against Zhao Zhenji! (.)
