Chapter 605 Ignore
As for Shen Ruyi, she had arranged for someone to send Prefect Shao and Vice Prefect Qiao to secretly enter Beijing two days ago.
At the same time, she carefully sorted out the various local networks and dug deep, uncovering a lot of other things.
When the reinforcements arrived, some people were selected to transport the silver and criminals north.
Arrange the remaining people to surround the first seven problematic local clans at the same time.
The people led by Shen Ruyi fought several rounds with the servants employed by these families.
It was not until actual blood was shed that they finally succeeded in taking down these families.
There are people from both families who are officials in other places, and some are even high-ranking officials in some areas, but so what?
If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. Why do you think you are above the law?
It is only natural that those who commit crimes should receive the corresponding punishment.
Shen Ruyi's actions caused panic in the entire city.
Of course, there were also people who clapped their hands in joy.
All the common people were not unhappy when they heard about it, and they all called the King of Donghai an upright and honest man.
They don't know why these people were arrested, but they are happy as long as the ones arrested are officials and rich people.
After all, these people are in the opposite class to them.
Most of those who could be frightened by Shen Ruyi were from families with questionable conduct and were wealthy.
Even if they wanted to run away, the city gates were guarded tightly and they couldn't get out of the city at all. They could only continue to endure the agony.
The mansions that were captured had deep roots and were passed down for hundreds of years, with many masters and even more servants.
Even the big prison in the government office couldn’t hold it all.
Shen Ruyi interrogated some key figures and then sent these core criminals to the capital first.
The remaining less important ones will be kept for review and transfer slowly.
Of course, not many people were willing to cooperate during the interrogation process, and some even acted like God was the boss and they were the second in command.
Maybe the place is quite remote and far away from the capital.
Having been used to being a local tyrant, he always gives off an air of being the only one who is not afraid of anyone.
Perhaps the more ignorant people are, the less fearful they are.
He also said that no matter what relationship their family had, Shen Ruyi would not dare to touch them casually.
But who made Shen Ruyi, who weighs only 98 pounds, have such a rebellious nature?
Not only did he affect the other party, but he also affected their descendants.
Only then did these ignorant old guys realize the reality, become completely honest, and confess everything.
Look, as long as you are more shameless than a shameless person, more shameless than a shameless person, and more cruel than a cruel person, no one can defeat you.
What's more, Shen Ruyi said that she didn't know any of the people they were talking about, nor did she want to know them, let alone have to know them.
She just needs to decide whether these people should be arrested or not. As for the rest, it is not her concern.
It reminds me of a joke from later generations: as long as I don’t know those big names, others won’t be able to show off their wealth in front of me.
Besides, no matter how powerful other people are, they can still be higher than her, Shen Ruyi, and higher than the government.
She knew the consequences of her actions, but she was not afraid.
At worst, if she dies, she can start over somewhere else. So what? She doesn't care.
To be exact, before she decided to do this, she had already put her own life and death aside.
She was ready to die at any moment.
How many people who have done this since ancient times have had a good ending? Her silence doesn't mean she doesn't understand.
In fact, Shen Ruyi understands this principle better than anyone else, but having come to this point today, she no longer cares about the final outcome.
Only at this moment did she truly understand the meaning of the phrase "heavier than Mount Tai, lighter than a feather".
This is how people are. As time goes by, they will find the answers and the meaning and value of their existence.
Just like Shen Ruyi, when she first came here, she only thought about how to survive and avenge herself.
I never thought she would be where she is today. This is already God's blessing, and she should be content.
People cannot want everything and expect everything to be perfect. This is unrealistic.
Since the gears of fate have pushed her to this position, she should use the power in her hands and do her best to do something for the people here.
It should be worth her life in this world.
Besides, the wealth of these seven families was beyond Shen Ruyi's imagination.
It took more than half a month to count and organize this huge amount of supplies and silver.
No wonder the local people are so poor despite the good climate here.
It turned out that all the silver was stored in these people's homes.
And there are even more restaurants, shops, grain shops and farms, but Shen Ruyi doesn't have the energy to touch them.
They were just sealed temporarily and soldiers were sent to guard them. They planned to start counting and sorting the silver and supplies after they were sent away.
Sure enough, love flows to those who have no shortage of love, and money flows to those who have no shortage of money.
If gold and silver were not inherently resistant to rust, Shen Ruyi would have probably seen rusty silver covered in dust that had not been touched for decades.
Shen Ruyi was afraid that there would not be enough manpower, so he dispatched another group of soldiers to transport silver and supplies to the north of Beijing.
Shen Ruyi did not hide it this time. He transported it to the capital with great fanfare and raised his own banner.
She also spread the word that she welcomes those stubborn people to come and rob, and she doesn't mind bringing people to attack their lair.
Because there were too many supplies, Shen Ruyi divided them into two groups.
On the day the first batch was shipped out, Shen Ruyi sent a letter and a list of supplies and silver to the government.
The letter also hinted to the government that a lot of silver had been brought back this time, so the government was asked to be generous and grant tax exemptions for a few more years.
This is all the people's money.
Shen Ruyi had always been worried about tiring her chubby parents, but recently she realized that she was worrying too much.
It doesn't have any impact if people just grab a few kilograms of food and send it over.
So, this is what happened now.
Zhao Tongzhi, who was sent by the government from the capital, arrived on the third day after the second batch of silver and supplies were sent out.
I heard that the new prefect was transferred from another place and is still on his way.
As soon as Zhao Tongzhi took office, Shen Ruyi drafted him into service and put him straight into work.
As for welcoming wine and banquets, there were none, only work to do.
The question is, she, the prince, is busy as a dog, why should you be idle? You must not be able to do that.
At first, Zhao Tongzhi was still worried about how he could survive under the hands of the King of Donghai.
After arriving, he found that he was worrying too much. No one cared about him at all and just threw a bunch of work at him.
Fortunately, he adapted very quickly and started working according to other people's standards and requirements.
As for Dou Tongpan, he has been feeling both sad and happy recently. He is happy because he finally has a job to do and is no longer being sidelined by others.
The sad thing is that he is almost busy to death. He has been so busy lately that he can't even get enough sleep for two hours.
