When he put the file in his hand on the case table, Du Zhongxiao felt as if he was too big and did not speak for a while. He estimated that the Ma Meng case had many consequences, but never expected that the consequences would be so serious. According to the current interrogation results, all the public officials in Yongcheng County who had real power could not escape. Moreover, it was not as simple as accepting bribes. Many cases were directly involved or even planned. Even the public officials in the state yamen were involved in more than a dozen people, otherwise the Tao family's case was not so easy to suppress?

He ordered his followers to give tea to Jin Shuzhao and He Kun. Du Zhongxiao asked them to go out and said to the two: "Mark, Kongmu, according to the evidence of Ma Meng's crime we have obtained now, if we really arrest all the people involved in the case, the prefectures and counties will be almost wiped out. At this point, I, a prosecutor, will definitely not be able to make the decision. In the past two days, I will write a secret report to the prefectures and the prefectures and counties to make the prefectures decide. It is only a corner of the inspection area around the village. Except for Ma Meng, the rest of the case involved will not be asked, but will clean up all the prefectures and counties, and the prefectures and counties must be decided by the prefectures and prefectures."

Jin Shuzhao nodded: "All things are subject to orders."

He Kun naturally had no doubts. The inspection camp was responsible for the public security of several counties around him, and had little involvement with the dragons and snakes in these places, and it was not up to you.

Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a while when he sent the two out. Perhaps this situation was extremely normal in this era, and it was like this in all places, but the degree was different. It required huge administrative costs to govern the local area. If the court did not want to spend this money, the local forces would naturally make up for it. Yongcheng was facing the Bian River, and there were many merchants and the situation was particularly prominent. It was really for the local considerations. Eliminating old forces such as Ma Meng was the first, and how to fill the gap in power in the future was the real consideration.

How to achieve effective governance? Du Zhongxiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. One is money, the other is people, and then there is an effective system. Where does manpower and material resources come from? The court is unwilling to be transfusions from the court, and the local government is unwilling to pay money. The situation will remain in this over time.

After thinking about it, there is no other way in the local area. It can only be to develop industry and commerce, concentrate the population into towns as much as possible, and leave the countryside in acquaintance society, and the government will cooperate with acquaintance society to carry out semi-autonomous management.

After drinking a sip of tea, Du Zhongxiao decided not to consider these issues. For aspiring officials, this situation in the local area is a good opportunity to make political achievements. The half-gray and half-black forces in the local area where public officials and local strongmen are tangled together, and some old cases are found. His position as a police officer will have a perfect merit and his political integrity will be absolutely brilliant. As for long-term stability, it is difficult to come up with a solution once and for all.

Back at the case date, Du Zhongxiao wrote down the cause and effect of the matter in detail, and specifically stated that many cases were confirmed, not just human evidence, but also collected some physical evidence these days. He sealed it up, called a follower, and sent it to the prefect Han Yi and the Tongzong Liu Ji.

Bei Erlang was escorted by two soldiers, holding a simple bedding, and entered a new house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Sanlang sitting in the corner, and his eyes lit up. He said happily: "I feel sorry for God. It turns out that Sanke is here! I have changed several residences these days, but I haven't seen my third brother. I'm so anxious!"

Qin Sanlang glanced at Bei Erlang and said calmly: "Which one is not a change, what's so strange? Come, sit here and I'll ask you something."

Bei Erlang agreed, held his own affairs and sat down next to Qin Sanlang, and greeted the others.

They are all the shopkeepers at Ma Meng's family, and they are familiar with each other, but after being asked these days, everyone is exhausted and ignores Bei Erlang.

Sitting beside Qin Sanlang, Bei Erlang whispered: "How are the third brother doing these days?"

Qin Sanlang said: "Eat well and sleep well. Just ask questions every day, so what's the matter? You're very energetic."

Bei Erlang felt a little embarrassed: "I am still young and don't know the things I ask, so of course it's much easier."

A gleam that was hard to detect in Qin Sanlang's eyes flashed, and he asked casually: "Oh, what are you asking?"

"San brother, we are all people, so we don't need to mess with my words! I changed a few places to live, and I heard people ask if the people in the village were helping Ma Meng commit the crime. In the first few days, no one said that they had everything in the past few days. I was scared and didn't believe it, but they actually killed and set fire. The people in our village did everything. Last year, there was a small boat on the Bian River, which suddenly started to burn. I used to think that it was only accidental, but I didn't expect that it was Ma Daguan instructed Uncle Yan Liu to do it! If he hadn't said it himself, who would have known!"

A big man with a beard next to him spat when he heard this: "Yan Liu, who was not tortured, actually told him about this! He didn't do it alone, but he let it go, but it hurt many of us!"

Bei Erlang said: "You can't blame Uncle Yan Liu for this matter. The government has already said that as long as you confess it, you will be punished with ease. Uncle Yan Liu's family is already an adult and has three children. He has blamed himself, so his family can live a good life like people outside."

After hearing this, everyone was silent. It was nothing to be dispersed and detained. Almost everyone in the village committed crimes and instinctively kept silent. Every day, other people in the village came to persuade him, which made people unable to stand it. Recently, Ma Meng has been watched tightly. The life of the village customers has been difficult, but they were incorporated into the village households under various guarantees. They caught up with the major project of land reclamation and gained a lot of benefits. Compared with the two, some farmers couldn't help but speak, fighting to suffer themselves and let their families live a normal life. When a person spoke, they could no longer stop and involved more and more things. What everyone talked about every day was that the case was exposed and who was involved.

As soon as Bei Erlang spoke, everyone participated, discussing what cases were confessed these days. Now, almost no one has been innocent, and the only difference lies in the severity of the case involved.

Without a strict organization, how could a group of people keep secrets? Du Zhongxiao watched several criminal investigation dramas in his previous life and knew that the way the public security interrogated prisoners at that time, even if they only knew a little fur, was enough at this time. Continue interrogation until the fatigue limit of these people exceeds the limit of these people, and then let ordinary people in the village show up and give them the temptation of their future life. After a little breakthrough, the guards showed some whims, and the continuous reorganization of the detained personnel, the rumors spread rapidly, and quickly broke the psychological defense line of these people.

Now Mameng's shopkeepers have collapsed, and many people have begun to take the initiative to confess their crimes. A large number of small cases such as bullying and dominating the market have annoyed the interrogators. Now, there are no serious cases such as robbery and injury, and the interrogators will not listen to them when they say it. However, some particularly vicious shopkeepers are still guarding the bottom line of not talking about life lawsuits, and have not exposed many vicious cases.

Today, Yan Liu finally started to speak out about a murder and arson case he had participated in, and then people were in panic again.

Bei Erlang is young, but he has only participated in bullying and dominating the market at the dock. His family is honest and has never done anything to kill and set fire. After spending the panic days a few days ago, he is now becoming more and more excited. When he arrives in a new place, he will find out what new cases there are.
