????????When Li Zhenwu led the main team of Jin Yiwei and Imperial Guard to arrest Xu Wenjue and others at Wei Guogong Mansion, multiple teams were also separated to arrest other people involved in the case.

?????????Chunhua Town, Yangcun.

?????????Inside the Yang family mansion.

?????????"Pa!"

?????????Yang Zhicai slapped Xiaolian on the face, causing Xiaolian to fall to the ground, and there was a slap mark on her face.

?????????"You can get distracted even if you pinch your legs, you bitch, are you thinking about that bitch named Qin?!" Yang Zhicai glared at Xiaolian and yelled.

????????Since the Shangyuan County Court’s trial of Qin Guanwen ended and Xiaolian was brought back, Yang Zhicai felt displeased no matter how he looked at her. This was not the first time he beat her.

?????????Xiao Lian cried and explained, "I don't have one...I just want Dagui. Master, please, please let me see Dagui?"

?????????It turns out that Xiaolian has a younger brother named Wu Dagui.

?????????Before, Yang Zhicai had controlled Xiaolian's younger brother Wu Dagui in order to ensure that Xiaolian would seduce and frame Qin Guanwen as he asked.

?????????Wu Xiaolian thought she would be able to see her brother after the matter was over, but unexpectedly she mentioned it twice in the past few days, but Yang Zhicai ignored her both times.

????????Hearing Wu Xiaolian made this request again, Yang Zhicai showed an angry look and his eyes dodge slightly.

????????Because Wu Dagui is missing.

Originally, he sent two followers to watch Wu Dagui in a courtyard in the town, but when he returned from the Shangyuan County Court, all three of them disappeared without a trace.

????????This matter has become a worry for Yang Zhicai, and it is also the main reason why he has been in a bad mood these days and frequently beats and scolds his concubines and servants.

?????????"You want to meet me as soon as you want?" Yang Zhicai simply kicked Xiaolian again, "Who are you? You are just a cheap concubine I bought!"

????????Concubines are also divided into categories.

?????????Some concubines have a good reputation and a natal family, and are married according to the rules. Some concubines are bought by the masters for fun. When they get tired of playing with them, whether they give them away or sell them, they have no effect.

Someone asked.

?????????Xiao Lian belongs to the latter category.

Yang Zhicai kicked her but still felt uneasy, so she stood up and kicked her a second time, then a third... as if she wanted to vent all her worries on Xiaolian.

?????????Xiao Lian was kicked so hard that she screamed in agony, but none of the servants outside the house dared to ask questions.

Seeing that one of Xiaolian's legs was about to be kicked off, screams and screams suddenly came from outside the house.

?????????Yang Zhicai finally stopped and asked angrily: "What's the noise outside?!"

"Sir, it's bad, the officers and soldiers have rushed in!" the housekeeper ran into the inner courtyard where Yang Zhicai was and shouted urgently.

?????????"What?!" Yang Zhicai suddenly panicked after hearing this and wanted to run away immediately.

He felt that it was probably because of the previous frame-up of Qin Guanwen. After all, the disappearance of the two servants and Wu Dagui was too strange.

????????As a result, as soon as Yang Zhi walked out of the inner courtyard, he was kicked to the ground by the imperial guards who rushed in, and he was easily caught.

????????Then all members of the Yang family were also captured, including Wu Xiaolian who was crippled by Yang Zhicai's kick.

"Why are you arresting me?" Yang Zhicai came back to his senses. Seeing that there were many people from Yang Village watching around him, he struggled and shouted, "Why, if I sue one of your commissioners, I won't be able to arrest you."

Are you being reasonable and starting to arrest people randomly? Are you still talking about the king's laws?!"

"Want to talk about the King's Law?" Xiaoqi, a member of the Imperial Guard, came over with a group of people and looked at Yang Zhicai coldly, "Okay, today I will tell you about the King's Law!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and the three people were brought to him.

?????????It was the two servants of Yang Zhicai who disappeared and Wu Dagui.

????????Then another steward of the Yang family was pushed out. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Yang Zhicai.

Xiaoqi of the Jin Yiwei looked around at the people of Yang Village and said loudly: "Everyone, our Jin Yiwei has found out the case of Qin Guanwen, the commissioner of the Qing Dynasty, who raped Yang Zhicai's concubine Xiaolian a few days ago. It is actually Yang Zhicai's fault.

There was a premeditated plan and a deliberate design to frame the Qingzhang Commissioner, with the intention of obstructing the imperial court from carrying out land tax reform.

????????After all, if the two policies of clearing landownership and allocating acres of land to tenants continue, their Yang family’s farmland will shrink from 10% to 10%, and they will need to bear more land taxes and labor money in the future.

????????If you fellow Yang villagers don’t believe it, just listen to the confessions of these people. Yang Er, the manager, you can speak first.”

Then, under the auspices of Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi, Manager Yang Er and others made it clear that Yang Zhicai had deliberately set up a trap to frame Qin Guanwen, and even exposed several other crimes Yang Zhiwen had committed.

To seek wealth and harm life.

???????? When the ordinary people in Yang Village saw the arrogant Mr. Yang being knocked down, they applauded one after another, and even followed up by exposing the evil deeds Yang Zhicai had committed...

???????Yingtianfu No. 1 Prison.

????????Prison reform is part of the previous reform of county offices, courts and other departments.

????????Nowadays, the prisons in the entire southern Zhili are divided into two types: one is a temporary detention cell for ordinary people, one in each patrol station, and one in the court; the other is a prison for long-term detention of criminals.

????????Prisons in various prefectures are located outside the city, shaped like a closed manor. The conditions inside are much better than those in prisons, but criminals need to work every day.

????????In the words of prison officials, it means accepting reform through labor and creating value for the Ming Dynasty to atone for one's sins.

Qin Guanwen was twisting the hemp rope when two jailers came over and said, "Qin Guanwen, your mother is here to see you."

Qin Guanwen was stunned when he heard this, and then followed the two of them to the special visiting room.

???????After seeing his mother, Qin Guanwen couldn't hold himself any longer.

????????However, after not seeing her for more than ten days, his mother turned out to be full of white hair and extremely haggard, like an old lady in her sixties.

?????????"Mom, my son is unfilial, I'm sorry for you!"

Qin Guanwen threw himself in front of the iron window, held the hand extended by his mother, and cried loudly.

???????The regret in my heart is like thousands of ants eating my heart.

Qin's mother also had tears in her eyes, "Son, it's useless for me to tell you. Even if you sell all your belongings, you still can't hire a lawyer to help you appeal. But don't worry, my mother just stopped the official sedan in the street and filed a complaint.

I will also help you complain."

?????????"Mom," Qin Guanwen held his mother's hand tightly and shook his head, "Forget it, just treat me as an unfilial son and take care of yourself alone, wuwuwu..."

Qin Guanwen knew that his crime had been proven, and even if his mother appealed, he would not be vindicated.

????????After all, he did sleep with Yang Zhicai’s concubine.

????????While the mother and son were crying, two officials in green robes came over.

One of them said: "Qin Guanwen, there are new circumstances in your case. Jin Yiwei found out that you were actually framed by Yang Zhicai and Wu Xiaolian.

????????However, it is true that you had sex with other people’s wives and concubines while drunk. Not only did it violate the discipline of the Commissioner of the Qing Dynasty, but it also violated the "Da Ming Law".

????????Your Majesty’s decree is to reduce your crime to first-class punishment. Therefore, your sentence is changed from hanging to being sent to the Gansu Army to serve for three years.”

????????When they heard the words of the green-robed official, the mother and son were stunned.

????????Then Qin’s mother knelt down and kowtowed to the two officials, saying repeatedly: “Thank you, Mr. Qingtian, for rehabilitating my son...”

Although being exiled to Gansu for three years is also a heavy punishment, it is obviously much lighter than hanging. At least the Qin family's incense has been temporarily saved.

The green-robed official motioned to the officials next to him to help Qin's mother up and said, "Old man, don't thank me. This case was discovered by the Jinyi Guards, and the favor is from His Majesty. If you want to thank me, thank Your Majesty."

Bar."

?????????"Jinyiwei, Your Majesty..." Qin's mother was stunned when she heard this.

????????Immediately he knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the Forbidden City, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for vindicating my son..."

?????????In the room, Qin Guanwen also knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Zijin City with tears in his eyes.

?????????Qingzhang Commissioners who were framed like Qin Guanwen accounted for at least half of the more than a dozen cases. Some were acquitted, and some had their sentences reduced to one degree. They were all grateful to Zhu Yuyao.

????????As for those who were not framed by others, but were caught after breaking the law, they should naturally be beheaded and exiled.

????????Because the people from Jinyiweinan Town Fusi made arrangements at the beginning of the land tax reform, and with the help of the imperial guards, they arrested them at an extremely fast speed, and even arrested them in the Wei Guogong Mansion all at once.

In response to Tianfu's conspiracy to obstruct the land tax reform, the hardcore big landlords captured more than half of them.

????????So, until the arrest operation that lasted for several days ended, the nobles and big landowners of Yingtian Mansion did not make any splash.

????????The "Daming Daily" happened to be published in mid-December, and it reported the matter in "details" and explained to the people the plot designed by the landlords to hinder the land tax reform.

This conspiracy also explains why landlords and nobles want to obstruct the land tax reform.

????????After this report came out, it attracted a lot of attention and discussion...

???????Second update.

???????Good night~
