The next morning, outside the governor's headquarters, the people who came to complain had already squeezed the entire street out of the crowd.

Before, Hai Rui had only accepted the letter but failed to take the imperial examination, which really made the people of Songjiang worried for a few days, thinking that even the Chief of Hai Zhongcheng would not dare to attack the Xu family.

It seems that the Sea Fighter is still fearless and just fights to the end.

As soon as Chen hour arrived, the gate outside the governor's head opened, and a clerk took the paper with numbers and called on the plaintiffs in front of the yamen to come in and wait on the platform in front of the lobby.

Hai Rui and other officials were already sitting in the hall, and the trial began immediately as soon as they were brought to the house.

After a Spring Festival break, the sea fighter and his Ten Palaces of Hell were fully fired, and eight hundred cases were concluded in one day!

Most of them were accused of the Xu family invading and seizing small people's land.

The Xu family was not panicked at first. Because the land obtained within five years had already greeted them and gave up voluntarily. This is the reason why the 40,000 acres of land was withdrawn.

As for five years ago, according to the current "Ask Criminal Regulations", land disputes have a five-year prosecution period. That is to say, if the land is transferred for more than five years, no matter what the reason, the seller cannot request redemption.

As long as the Xu family gave up their land within five years, they would be invincible from a legal perspective. Therefore, Xu Jie was fearless and refused Hai Rui's unreasonable request.

Didn’t you, Hai Rui, always say that you are doing things according to the law? Now I will discuss the national law with you. What should you do?

Unfortunately, no one understands the laws of the Ming Dynasty better than Hai Rui. He actually bypassed the "Regulations on Asking for Criminals" and judged the case by the "Ming Law" formulated by Emperor Taizu. Because in the "Ming Law", such cases can be prosecuted infinitely!

The "Regulations on Asking for Criminals" were originally created by the literati and official groups to protect themselves from the harsh restrictions of the "Ming Law". Now Hai Rui uses the "Ming Law" to determine the case of the Xu family, which will cost the Xu family's life!

On the first day alone, the governor's yamen sentenced more than 300 slaves from the Xu family and slaves to the charges of "accepting the offer", "concealing the land, evading taxes, and having a very large amount".

Among them are Xu Jie's three brothers, Xu Long, Xu Chen, Xu Zhi, and more than 20 nephews, including Xu Fan, Xu Kun, and Xu Ying.

This is the Xu family, the mansion with a relatively small population. In the old house of Xu family in Sijing, Xu Ge Lao's cousin and nephew, the grandson of his grandson were found guilty.

And unlike before in Suzhou, Hai Rui issued a ticket card as soon as he was pronounced, dispatching the official army to capture the Xu family and bringing the case.

This scared Niu Qianshi and others again, and hurriedly persuaded Hai Doushi to think twice: "The Xu family has many officials or crowns and belts because of the brothers Xu Ge. Even if they are not good, they can also protect their bodies with fame. How can they take them as soon as possible?"

"Please order the flag of the king!" Hai Rui stood up and bowed to the north.

Amid the low and solemn drum sound, the flag plaque escorted four pairs of kings' orders.

Hai Rui first took off a flag and handed it to Zhong Zhenji and said, "You can quickly bring two hundred soldiers and go to the Xu Mansion of Nanchan Temple to get people. One ran away and came to see you!"

"Get the order!" Seeing that the Wang Ming flag was brought out, Zhong Zhenji knew that Mr. Hai wanted to give it a try, so he dared not talk nonsense, so he quickly took the order and left.

"You two quickly brought five hundred soldiers to Xujiabang, Sijing to get people, let one go, and come to see you!" Hai Rui awarded another pair of flags to Zheng Yue and Member Wang.

The two of them quickly responded in unison.

Hai Rui awarded the third deputy flag to Niu Qianshi and said, "Take two hundred soldiers and horses to Guisiyuan to protect Mr. Xu. Don't let him leave your sight!"

"..." Niu Qianshi complained secretly. It was so exciting that he could understand the implication of Hai Gong's order.

Forget it, just treat it as avenging Lin Zhongcheng!

"Yes!" Thinking of this, Niu Qianshi's nose squirted out white air, he stretched his heart and responded.

~~

Soon, the soldiers from the Governor's Office drove to various parts of the city.

The people looked at the officers and soldiers carrying long spears, wearing red and blue robes, and wearing leggings, and lined up through the city. The cloth shoes with iron nails stepped on the ground and made a trembling sound.

"The governor's office handles the case, avoid it! Avoid!" The leading officers and soldiers used their guns to disperse the crowds blocking the way.

The people hid and stood on both sides of the road and looked around.

"Is this a trip to Nanchan Temple?"

"Are you going to touch the Xu family?!"

"Eighty-most! Let's go, take a look!" The people who were already afraid suddenly became excited.

The Xu family has been in the city for decades, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have done all the bad things. Besides, his family suddenly became rich and prosperous due to the old man. Who in the city is not jealous?

What's more, the super pleasure of pulling the local emperor off and stomping his feet may never be encountered once in his life.

The citizens were no longer afraid, and they all left their work behind and followed the government army to watch the fun.

The brigade of officials arrived at Nanchan Temple in a blink of an eye, and walked under the archways with the engraved "Tanhua Zhidi", "Shangzhu Kingdom", "Da Zongbo", "Grandmaster", and "Chief and Elders", as if he had visited Mr. Xu's glorious career in a short time.

Unfortunately, no matter how glorious the career is, it will come to an end. The glory of the past can no longer protect the largest clan of Songjiang.

The official army followed Zhong Zhifu and came to the gate of Xu's mansion.

The Xu family had long been heard from the news and closed the door, so they didn't respond if the constable in the mansion smashed the door.

"Crash the door!" Now that things have come to this point, there is nothing to hesitate, Zhong Zhenji waved his hand.

There were ten official soldiers immediately carrying logs with iron heads. They first helped to run for a while, and then put the cracking hammer on the gate of the Xu Mansion.

Although the door is extremely thick and wrapped in iron and inlaid with copper, it cannot withstand such impact at all.

In just a few seconds, the iron hoop and iron nail connected to the door frame was knocked down. After a few more times, he was knocked to the ground.

The Xu slaves inside the door screamed and dodged, and were almost pressed under the collapsed door panel.

"Get in!" Seeing that the door opened, Zhong Zhenji ordered: "Catch people according to the list, seize all accounts, deeds, and take them all back to the headquarters!"

The constables from the prefect's office rushed in with the officers and soldiers.

In the Xu Mansion, there were three old masters of the Xu family living in the Xu family, their respective children and grandchildren, as well as female servants, and a total of thousands of people.

How could the official army, like a wolf, like a tiger, be polite to them when they rushed in? Although they would not smash and loot, they were inevitably violent and vulgar.

The Xu Mansion was immediately crying and howling everywhere, and the screams of women came one after another, as if they had been abused.

The retired right minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice, Xu Zhi, the younger brother of the old master of Xu Ge, happened to be in the mansion at this time.

Hearing that he was messing around outside, he quickly put on his pants and went out to check.

He was meeting the Xu family who were scattered and fleeing with the pursuits of Guan Jun, and came to him.
