In just one week, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has already handled tens of thousands of cases.
Under the observation of interested people, most of these cases involve wealthy families. Many children of the family who committed felonies before escaped the pursuit because of their own backgrounds, but now they are also arrested.
No matter who it is, no matter what background it is, as long as it commits a felony, it must be investigated afterwards.
Under such severe blows, not only many real culprits were at large, but even some dark corners of the imperial capital were wiped out.
Dozens of underground gangs were detained, and tens of thousands of evil cultivators were arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and punished according to their crimes.
Corresponding to this is the rare cleanliness and tranquility of the Imperial Capital City. Even the violent and rascal rogues on weekdays only dare to speak in a low voice at this time, and never dare to act recklessly like before.
Above the sky, officials of the Ministry of Punishment dressed in black can be seen everywhere, shuttling back and forth, and the objects of arrest are gradually expanding.
There was a county king of the Zhao family who once opened a dental shop secretly, abducted some young children, and sold them to other places.
This is just one of the county king's countless properties, and it is quite hidden, but in the end it was investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the county king was found by following the clues.
In the past, Jinyi Longwei, who stood behind the county king and was responsible for protecting him, chose to back down at this time.
Numerous officials from the Ministry of Punishment rushed forward, imprisoned the county king's cultivation base, and then escorted him to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
After that, everyone inquired about many crimes from the county king, and they were punished for several crimes, and they actually executed him by beheading.
On the day of the execution, countless people watched the scene where the head of the county king fell to the ground, and the scene was quite shocking.
This is the prince of the Zhao family. No one thought that such a noble person would have his head fall one day.
The blood stained the floor tiles of the execution ground, and many families who were quite resistant before all stopped their voices at this time.
They felt Lu Yu's determination.
Even the princes of the Zhao family can be executed, let alone them?
Following the silence of the aristocratic family, the actions of the Ministry of Criminal Justice became more and more violent. People were being tried one after another, and cases hidden in the past were revealed one after another.
And because of Li Si's reasons, the power of the Ministry of Punishment has suddenly expanded, and it seems to have a tendency to override the Six Departments.
?As the Ministry of Punishment was on its way, the Ministry of Household Affairs also received a note from Li Si, and began to strictly examine the behaviors of various wealthy families who forcibly seized land, wanted to keep slaves, and evaded taxes.
Thus, a rather spectacular scene appeared in the imperial capital.
In front of the gate of a certain aristocratic family, the official of the criminal department in black had just taken the criminal away from the mansion, and the official of the household department in red came to the door immediately and began to investigate taxation and land issues.
Many wealthy families were silent. For the first time, they felt fear in front of officials.
Anyone who evades tax will be judged according to whether the circumstances are serious or not. In addition to making up for the missed taxes in the past, many aristocratic families also have to pay fines, and some aristocratic family heads even face imprisonment.
As for the seized land, the government will confiscate all of it, and the aristocratic family will also face huge fines.
However, at this point, the court made a tolerant treatment.
? If you make up the tax and take the initiative to give up the land occupation within the specified time, you can be tolerant.
All of a sudden, the imperial capital was overcrowded, and countless aristocratic families sent their envoys to bow their heads and admit their mistakes
