The strongest nine thousand years old

Chapter 221: Commander Chen's Methods

With Chen Dong's manipulation, all eighteen people on Li Rushan's list were arrested by Chen Dong.

Once the movable type printing block was set up and the Jinyiwei stood at home, no one could resist it.

These people know clearly whether it is one person dying or the whole family dying.

In the morning, they were still criticizing Chen Dong and questioning the Jinyiwei at the grand court meeting. In just half a day, they were all arrested.

Chen Dong's revenge is not just overnight, it is revenge at any time. He has a grudge one moment and takes revenge the next. He is a man who does whatever he wants and has overwhelming power.

The news that Chen Dong had arrested eighteen people including Lord Zhang spread throughout the court in an instant, shocking all the officials.

Everyone was ready to report Chen Dong.

"What?" Yan Yunzheng showed an expression of disbelief, "You actually arrested them all!"

Chen Dong casually spread his hands and said, "I am just helping you solve the problem."

Yan Yunzheng rolled his eyes at Chen Dong and said, "Thank you so much."

Chen Dong seemed not to hear the sarcasm in her words, and said with a smile: "Don't just talk, move your hands."

Yan Yunzheng's eyes flashed with disdain, and he shouted coldly: "Get lost!"

This bastard only knows how to do dirty things.

Yan Yunzheng suddenly felt that she was not pure. How did she understand it when Chen Dong said it? She didn't understand this kind of thing before.

“It’s all because of the influence of this bastard!” Yan Yunzheng thought bitterly.

"Then I'm really leaving?" Chen Dong deliberately raised the confession in his hand.

"Wait." Yan Yunzheng spread out his hands, "Give it to me."

Chen Dong handed the eighteen confessions to Yan Yunzheng, with evidence of these people's crimes attached below.

The evidence of their crimes was not only the movable type printing blocks that Chen Dong had framed, but also their real crimes.

On the surface, Mr. Zhang was a decent man with only one wife. But in fact, he was a playboy, often went to brothels, and even killed a brothel girl.

Mr. Du is upright and incorruptible, but he has 500,000 taels of silver hidden in his basement.

Mr. Zhao is neither greedy for money nor lustful, but he likes calligraphy and paintings. The collection in his home has a market value of 800,000 taels.

The negative information about these people presented by Chen Dong was not fabricated or framed, but was true and had clear evidence.

Mr. Jiang has lost a lot of hair during this period just to gather information for Chen Dong.

After reading it, Yan Yunzheng remained silent for a long time. He subconsciously clenched his hands holding the confession, and blue veins appeared on the back of his hands.

"People who appear clean on the surface are actually dirty behind the scenes. Dayan is really terminally ill." Yan Yunzheng sighed deeply, looking somewhat lonely.

"If the disease is incurable, we will scrape the bone to cure the poison." Chen Dong stepped forward, hugged Yan Yunzheng, and said with a smile, "If the building is about to collapse, we will do our best to turn the tide."

"I'll help you, what are you worried about?"

Three parts of weakness, three parts of indignation, three parts of confusion, and a hint of decisiveness flashed in Yan Yunzheng's eyes.

"The fight against corruption must continue to go deeper!" Yan Yunzheng gritted his teeth.

The inspection teams she sent out would occasionally bring back news, but they only eliminated some flies. This made her think that Dayan was thriving and the officials were honest and reliable. But in fact, she was blinded.

Flies are always trying to fool people, and tigers are not to be messed with.

The inspection team did not dare to really use the imperial sword.

"The East Factory has already given out rewards, and everyone is ready to go, waiting for the next great achievement. Your Majesty, are you willing to give them a chance?" Chen Dong asked with a raised eyebrow.

Yan Yunzheng stared into Chen Dong's eyes, and Chen Dong looked at her frankly, with undisguised ambition burning in his eyes.

Yan Yunzheng laughed at herself in her heart. The Jinyiwei had already gained momentum, and even if she wanted to stop them, she couldn't. Since Chen Dong had no intention of usurping the throne, what would happen if he was the only one in power?

"Jinyiwei Commander Chen Dong obeys your orders." Yan Yunzheng said in a deep voice.

Chen Dong's expression suddenly became serious and he knelt on one knee in front of Yan Yunzheng.

"I order you to lead the Jinyiwei to supervise and review the work of the inspection team. If anyone is partial, you can deal with it yourself and don't have to report it to me." Yan Yunzheng said murderously, "Since those termites hide deep and bite painfully, chop them off with skin and flesh!"

"According to the order!"

Chen Dong raised his lips. He took out these evidences to divert Yan Yunzheng's attention and stop paying attention to the theories of various philosophers.

Compared with the theories of various philosophers, Yan Yunzheng obviously attaches more importance to corruption.

This is something that affects people's livelihood and shakes the foundation of the country.

…………

The next day.

Yan Yunzheng's appointment of Chen Dong was announced to the whole country. Chen Dong was appointed as the "General Inspector General" to supervise the whole country, punish corruption, and had the power to execute first and report later.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, all the ministers and officials fell silent.

Those who still wanted to report Chen Dong and accuse him of taking human life lightly and framing others quickly tore up the memorial and pretended nothing had happened.

Chen Dong holds great power, and if he approaches him at this time, he would be courting death!

The Jinyiwei already had the power to monitor the entire world, and now Yan Yunzheng gave Chen Dong the title of "General Inspector", which clearly shows that he would not tolerate corruption.

Those eighteen people were beheaded early in the morning, and those eighteen heads are still hanging on the top of the city wall.

All the officials were worried that Chen Dong's knife would fall on their necks. They kept their tails between their legs and were so low-key that they were almost invisible.

In contrast, the people applauded.

"Long live your Majesty!"

“Those corrupt officials should have been killed long ago.”

"Mr. Zhang is a very upright person, but I didn't expect him to be that kind of person."

"Your Majesty asked Commander Chen to punish corrupt officials and those banned books..."

"Your Majesty doesn't care, why are you worrying about it? Go back and collect your clothes."

"I think the Legalists are right. If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. Why should those nobles be superior to others?"

"No one can be punished for anything. This is a rule that was established when Great Yan was founded. It is not so easy to abolish."

"Why think about that? Taoism's principle of governing by doing nothing is the truth. I watched him entertain guests and his building collapse. It has nothing to do with me."

The people were discussing the issue, and their words were all influenced by the various schools of thought. The various schools of thought spread in this subtle and silent way.

Your Majesty turned a blind eye to this and did not care about it. Of course, the City Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards would not care either.

Someone reported the matter to Yan Shiqi, but was reprimanded by Yan Shiqi instead.

"Your Majesty doesn't care, but you want to. Do you think you are more powerful than His Majesty?"

Since then, no one has cared.

The teachings of the various philosophers are like a drop of ink blending into water, disappearing yet visible everywhere.

When the imprisoned preachers learned about this, they were all stunned.

Is this the way to preach?

Qiuyue opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at Chen Dong in disbelief.

"Commander, you are so awesome." Qiuyue said in a soft voice.

Chen Dong patted Qiuyue on the head.

Qiuyue gave Chen Dong a coquettish look and squatted down willingly.
