Chapter 644: Being clever but being misled by cleverness
Yi Ren knocked out the two waiting men, carried them over, and threw them in front of Shen Ruyi.
"Two dogs hidden in the shadows!"
Completely disregarding the official robes the other person was wearing, Yi Ren had become bolder after following Shen Ruyi for so long.
The person lying on the ground was so frightened by the fact that Shen Ruyi and her group had even captured their adults that they could no longer lie still.
He shouted loudly, "Stop! How dare you! Do you know who you're facing? Don't you want your heads? These are Prefect Liu and his advisor!"
"Your Excellency, I don't know you," Shen Ruyi said, then kicked the prefect awake. He had no choice but to wake up; the prefect flew more than two meters away.
As soon as Prefect Liu woke up, he pointed at Shen Ruyi and said, "How dare you treat me like this! Men, arrest him!"
Shen Ruyi kicked the other man in the buttocks again, yelling, "Grab your grandpa's head! I'll kill you, you corrupt official!"
"Tell me, why did you send people to arrest me? What did I do to offend you? Huh? You won't talk, huh? Well, you'll just have to suffer."
As Shen Ruyi spoke, she kicked the prefect around like a football, which was quite amusing.
"Stop it, stop it quickly."
Since you're so blind and ignorant, you shouldn't be holding this official position.
With such a thing in hand, who knows how many lives have been taken so easily?
"Stop! Stop right now! Assaulting an official of the imperial court is a capital offense."
“I don’t know what punishment you deserve, but I know you’re going to die today. I’m not going to stop now. Let’s see what you can do to me!” Shen Ruyi kicked him a few more times.
"You didn't send that 'Little Hui' girl on the ground to fish, did you? You're quite something, aren't you? Of all people to mess with, why did you have to provoke me?"
Then he turned to Yiren and said, "Send the signal, take men and surround the prefect's government office."
"Okay," Yi Ren said, sending a signal into the air.
All the personnel began to gather here.
Shen Ruyi never fought a battle unprepared, but these people just wouldn't give her any time.
This time, we can only arrest the people first and then look for evidence. Let's arrest them first and then talk about the rest.
This kind of thing is obviously not good quality; it's bound to have a lot of problems. I won't let myself make a wasted trip.
With trembling hands, Prefect Liu asked, "You, you, you, you are really the King of the East Sea?" His eyes were filled with fear.
He received a secret order from Governor Dou to keep a close eye on the various groups of people who have recently entered the city, especially unfamiliar faces.
They said the King of the East Sea was likely to come here, so we should be on high alert to avoid giving him any leverage.
Upon receiving the news, he immediately began to clean up the mess, and once that was done, he was on high alert.
I waited for ages and there was no sign of them. I thought they weren't coming here.
But recently a lot of people have come, so he has started to pay attention to it again.
Among the people who recently entered the city, these few had the best demeanor, which is why he sent someone to test them.
Who knew that his cleverness backfired? Before his scheme even began to take effect, he was completely ruined.
Shen Ruyi said with a smile, "That's right, Prefect Liu, are you surprised to see me? Are you not surprised?"
Originally, I didn't intend to investigate your place thoroughly; I planned to rest and recuperate before leaving.
Who told you to be so impatient?
Oh dear, you actually ran right into this mess yourself. I'd be doing you a disservice if I didn't deal with you properly after all your scheming.
"Thank you so much! It's even kind of you to personally deliver this sales report to my door. Lord Liu, get up quickly and lead the way."
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Prefect Liu collapsed to the ground, his mind blank, muttering repeatedly, "It's over, it's over, it's all over, everything is over."
Oh, what a regret! Why did he have to have such ulterior motives? If it weren't for what happened before, he might have been able to escape this calamity.
The shadow guards were the first to arrive. Following Shen Ruyi's instructions, they rushed to the prefectural government office and blocked the entrance.
In order to prevent anyone from noticing something was wrong and running away in advance.
In less than fifteen minutes, all the personnel had assembled, and Prefect Liu was so frightened that he wet himself.
Lying on the ground, all he could mutter was, "It's over."
With a single glance from Shen Ruyi, two men appeared and impaled Prefect Liu.
The others on the ground were also dragged along towards the government office.
Lord Huang has led his men to guard the four city gates and is keeping an eye on the wealthy families in the city. From this moment on, Shuanglu City is a no-go zone.
Xiao Heng, who had been standing at a distance without leaving, only realized at this moment that the young master he had just met was definitely not a simple person.
The arrogant Lord Liu has finally met his match.
For some reason, he quickly went home.
Shen Ruyi ordered men to guard all the gates of the prefectural government office and began searching directly in Prefect Liu's two studies, one inside and one outside.
The women in the backyard remained still for the time being, planning to decide whether to take the next step based on what they found out.
But seeing Prefect Liu in his current state, it's clear that this is no small matter.
After a half-hour thorough search, the allegations of embezzlement and bribery were definitively confirmed.
More than 60 taels of silver and silver notes were found during the search.
There were also a lot of correspondence involving court politics and other ministers, which confirmed the crime of forming cliques and engaging in private affairs.
Finally, they also found a lot of salt permits and two ledgers, confirming the charge of selling smuggled salt.
Well, she overestimated the other party; they already had these three fatal flaws before the game had even officially started.
Not to mention the other charges, Prefect Liu is definitely going to die this time, just as she guessed.
Shen Ruyi announced, "Begin the complete search and seizure."
"Yes."
A large number of people began to advance into the backyard, and the backyard, which had finally calmed down, was now in complete chaos.
"Shadow Five, you can begin the interrogation."
"Okay, Master."
Shen Ruyi sat to one side and began reading the correspondence. This time, she might be able to bring down a governor. That would be great.
If we're going to fight tigers, let's fight the big tigers.
He even specially assigned several shadow guards to keep an eye on the prefect and the vice-prefect.
Xihe wrote a notice and posted it at the main gate of the government office.
The main point is this: If you want to file a complaint or seek redress, please bring your evidence and a complaint as soon as possible. Latecomers will not be accepted, so hurry up. You can sue anyone you want; we accept all complaints.
Her actions today were kept secret from everyone.
By now, everyone in the city who should have received the news should have received it.
Let's see how these people react to what happened today, like startling a snake in the grass.
It's not that we're afraid of the opponent making moves, it's that we're afraid of them not making any moves. The more they move, the more openings they reveal.
Meanwhile, Xihe had already started calculating the accounts in various ledgers and compiled the general ledger.
Looking at Xihe, who was completely absorbed in her work and radiating energy, Shen Ruyi suddenly felt that she should also ask Xihe to be given an official position.
What's so great about getting married, especially in ancient times when a man's harem was less desirable than becoming an official and wielding power?
Look how vibrant and full of energy they are!
No matter how beautiful or vibrant a flower is, once it enters a man's backyard, that entire space is practically ruined and withered.
