"I will obey the order!"

The Dali Temple Chief and several officials present in the Ministry of Justice, including the Minister of Justice, what can they do at this time? The emperor has issued an order. Can they still resist the order disrespect? They can only accept the order with a wry smile.

I'm afraid I will offend a lot of people next.

After Emperor Ling of Ming issued the order, he quickly left the palace with a group of guards and internal supervisors. Unfortunately, these officials still had to stay in Dali Temple and continue to stay up late to work overtime to sort out the case files. Now that it is sorted out at night, we can only seize the time to catch people tomorrow.

In order to seize the time and to complete the task, they probably have to stay for several days and nights.

After the case was sentenced, the news soon spread from inside the Dali Temple. Everyone was talking for a while, either spitting and cursing such people, or laughing and discussing that there are such poisonous women in this world, etc. Of course, there are also the victims' families laughing loudly, shouting that the sky has eyes, and the emperor is wise.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

In addition, some servants rushed back to tell their masters who had done the same thing after hearing the news outside.

That night, not only did many officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice investigate the case files all night, but the wives of many ministers and noble families were also very busy, busy erasing evidence and destroying the IOUs.

Although it is difficult to claim the debt after the IOU is destroyed, it is better than being found and killed.

Qiao Mu had nothing to worry about. His original body and her eldest daughter-in-law were both from aristocratic families and knew the law. It was different from those nobles who valued that women had no talent and were virtue. Naturally, it was impossible to do such illegal things. So after hearing the story of Butler Min, he sneered and put the matter aside.

She still has to be busy with the sea trade affairs, so she can't control such things that can't affect their families. There are too many aspects involved in the sea trade, from shipbuilding to nautical charts, to weapons, and all aspects. Qiao Mu has had experience in some aspects, but it's easy to deal with, such as shipbuilding and weapons, but some aspects, such as nautical charts, are really quite embarrassing.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

There is no problem with shipbuilding and weapons. Although there are many differences in different worlds, ships and weapons, which conform to the conventional laws of physics, are still basically universal. As long as you take out your previous experience, you can make it well after spending more time and money. However, charts in different worlds cannot be universal. Charts, let alone different worlds, are different in different eras. If the charts are missed, then it is very likely that they will not make money by making money through maritime trade, but sending money to the sea.

The ship has sunk, but it will not be sent to the sea.

In this era, there were only some large sea trade families with sea trade charts, and they were not comprehensive. Basically, only the charts of the routes that their families often took. This was the one that the large sea trade families had invested and spent so much time to find out and verify.

Qiao Mu only has two choices now. One is to find a way to explore the sea outside and draw an accurate chart. The other is to find a way to cooperate with those big sea trade families and buy charts from them. However, those big sea trade families are doing monopoly business, so how could they be willing to cooperate with others? So although there are two choices on the surface, Qiao Mu actually has one choice, that is, to draw a chart by himself.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

She is worried about this now.

There are almost not many people who need to use in the hands of an old woman in the back house, and there are almost only a few, and there are no one who can take it out.

After all, we can't let a few old ladies help to urge them to go out to sea and draw a chart. However, this matter will not be solved in a short time. I guess Qiaomu will still be worried next.

...

In the next half month, that is, the half month before the summer harvest, the atmosphere in the entire capital seemed very tense, because people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice would occasionally send troops to a certain official or a certain noble lady's residence for arrest. From royals to seventh-rank officials, there is no possibility of tolerance if they are caught evidence.

But it's normal.

The kind who truly possesses real power will not have to make money by usury, nor will it help some merchants to take charge of litigation or other things. Some of the kind who are truly powerful will give them money, and there is no need to mix in these things that are embarrassing to say. Those who are really involved in these things are mostly those nobles who are not very high in official positions, or who have been honored before, but now there are only short titles left.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice were not afraid of these existences at all, so naturally they hurriedly sent people to arrest and confiscate the house when they caught the evidence. There was no need to report to the superiors. In more than half a month, the Ministry of Justice arrested a total of 67 wives and old ladies with the imperial decree alone, and more than 100 other women without imperial decree were arrested, nearly 200.

There are more than a thousand officials and businessmen implicated by these old ladies. Originally, this matter might have to be investigated and spread to other big cities outside the capital. However, because these decree ladies were all the emperors, or the empress dowager personally, they were arrested for committing crimes, and the empress dowager's face was actually gone. The emperor is fine. After all, he still has a large amount of silver obtained from the house to raid to comfort the injured little heart. The main reason is that the empress dowager feels that the face is gone, and forced to order the emperor to stop and continue to investigate. Privately, but don't come again on the surface. If she continues to investigate like this, her face will be lost.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Think about it, the wife of the imperial edict who issued an imperial edict actually committed so many crimes and loan sharks, what would others think, what would ordinary people think, ordinary people would say that she, the empress dowager, would not look at people and reward bad people as good people. This is still good to say, and if it is not nice, maybe even secretly scolds her for helping the evil.

During this period, Emperor Ling of Ming actually received many memorials from officials, saying that continuing to investigate this may have a bad impact, which may damage the image of the court and officials, etc. In addition, he has earned more than 5 million taels of silver, plus countless antiques, jewelry, shops, fields, etc., and the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple cannot be dragged by this case all the time. Therefore, he finally mercifully let the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple stop. After finishing these, he hurried to handle other cases. If this decree is delivered at once, many people cried with joy.

The officials of the Ministry of Justice were happy that they finally stopped staying up late to sort out the case files and offend people. Some people who had not found it were happy that the matter was finally over. Fortunately, they were not found, and they would never dare to continue doing such bad things again. They were scared to death.
