Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

As expected, the day after Shi Qiang arrived, the people sent by Meng Ting also arrived in Jinan. However, unlike Shi Qiang, this time the intelligence system sent over piles of evidence!

Meng Ting had been in Yanzhou for a few days. As soon as he arrived in Yanzhou, he began to mobilize his brothers to investigate the administration of Yanzhou, with the focus on the prefect Lu Mingsong.

Meng Ting still remembered clearly that Liu Ye had angrily scolded Lu Mingsong. It was obvious that the fat prefect was not a good person. He knew nothing in front of the governor. I'm afraid he was only concerned about making money and marrying a concubine.

Therefore, Meng Ting locked on the target from the beginning. More than ten people were mobilized to uncover the secrets of the Yanzhou prefectural government office. In addition to this incident, Meng Ting had collected enough evidence to send Lu Mingsong to the guillotine!

Looking at the long text, Liu Ye smiled at Ding Baozhen and said, "Brother Zhihuang, see, this is the helper I found for you. Look at this pile of evidence, and you should know what kind of person Lu Mingsong is. I'm afraid you're even more anxious to get rid of him than I am, even without me urging you!"

Ding Baozhen had an expressionless face. He picked up a memorial and glanced through it hastily. His expression turned grim. He then picked up another one. The more he read, the angrier he became. He read more than ten in a row before he stopped and said calmly, "Okay, Ziming, I'll take care of this matter. Tomorrow, I'll leave for Yanzhou. If I don't bring Lu Mingsong to justice, my trip to Shandong will have been in vain!"

Liu Ye smiled and replied, "Brother Zhihuang, if that's the case, then this intelligence system established by the Governor's Office will be temporarily transferred to your command for your management. However, this system is to help me spy on the enemy during wartime, so they are only temporarily in charge. In the future, you must return it to me..."

Ding Baozhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ziming, I know what's going on. In half a month, the case will be solved!"

Ding Baozhen hated evil and acted decisively. Now that such a big thing had happened in Shandong, as the Censor in charge of supervision, it was time for him to show his skills. He was just a prefect, and even if the governor had committed these things, he would file a report to impeach him until he was brought down!

Ding Baozhen brought the Deputy Censor and the Assistant Censor with him and rushed to Yanzhou the next day and came to the Yanzhou Coal Mine.

The moment Lu Mingsong saw Ding Baozhen, it was as if two doors opened in his heart. He finally saw his relatives!

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Zhang Chunping openly resisted arrest and gathered a crowd to commit treason. He even detained me, an official appointed by the imperial court. Your Excellency, please completely seal off this coal mine! Punish Zhang Chunping severely!"

Lu Mingsong's crying made Ding Baozhen furious. What a waste, what a waste, a useless waste!

"Lu Mingsong, you blatantly violated the decree issued by the Governor's Office and privately demanded a bribe of three thousand taels of silver from the Yanzhou Coal Mine. After being refused, you then dispatched yamen runners to attempt to directly seal off the Yanzhou Coal Mine. What crime should you be charged with? And you still dare to cry foul? Come, first, remove Lu Mingsong's official hat and take him to the Yanzhou Prison to await interrogation!"

Ding Baozhen shouted angrily, and people on both sides came up and tied Lu Mingsong tightly and took him to Yanzhou prison.

Zhang Chunping, who was standing behind him, bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Neitai, for making this decision for us!"

Ding Baozhen snorted angrily and replied, "Zhang Chunping, you have privately detained an official appointed by the imperial court, which is a serious crime. If it weren't for the two governors pleading for you, I would never have let you off so easily. You must be more cautious in your future actions. This is the Qing Dynasty, where the law is enforced. You will not be tolerated for your reckless behavior. It's a small matter to get yourself into trouble, but if you implicate Governor Liu behind you, you will be a sinner!"

Zhang Chunping looked a little embarrassed. After all, Ding Baozhen was not Liu Ye, nor was he Guo Songtao or Li Junfeng. He just came to help Liu Ye and was not Liu Ye's close friend. Treating him like this was already very respectful. Openly resisting and detaining court officials was not something that could be easily resolved.

The news that Lu Mingsong was thrown into prison spread from Yanzhou City in the shortest time. For more than four years, the common people who had been oppressed by Lu Mingsong all applauded and praised Ding Baozhen as the modern-day Justice Bao.

On that day, someone ran to the prefectural yamen and beat drums to appeal for justice. It was not that they did not want to seek justice, but that the time had not come yet. Now that Lu Mingsong had been imprisoned, it was the time to appeal for justice. No matter what, this evil guy must be brought to justice!

Ding Baozhen sat in the lobby and tried the case for a whole day. He didn't even need the evidence that Meng Ting had collected for him. The petitions submitted by the common people below were enough to sentence Lu Mingsong to immediate death!

During the four years, Lu Mingsong raped seven women, beat four people to death, embezzled more than 50,000 taels of public funds, and accepted bribes amounting to more than 100,000 taels. He made the entire Yanzhou a mess!

Ding Baozhen was so angry that he threw a pile of petitions at Lu Mingsong's head!

"Lu Mingsong, Lu Mingsong, look at all the shit you've done. Are you still the father and mother of this land? How can you live in this world with dignity? Are you worthy of the great grace and trust of the court?"

Ding Baozhen roared angrily.

Lu Mingsong's body was shaking like a sieve. He never expected that this Neitai would attack him as soon as he arrived in Yanzhou. He was completely trapped in the Yanzhou coal mine and had no time to respond. He was like a broken wall with wind blowing in from all sides, with flaws everywhere. How could he catch a lot of these little tails?

If one third of these complaints are true, I will be dead!

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. Please spare my life. I am related to the Grand Secretary of the Capital. Please, for the Grand Secretary's sake, spare me this time..."

Lu Mingsong was so scared that he revealed his background in the lobby. However, not to mention that he did it in public, there was no room for maneuver. Even if he said it when no one was around, Ding Baozhen, who hated evil, would definitely not care about Lu Mingsong's background!

Wen Dashi? Who was Wen Dashi? The Grand Secretary of the current dynasty, Grand Secretary Wenxiang! He was Prince Gong's right-hand man, his top think tank. No one knew how Lu Mingsong had managed to climb to this high position!

"Lu Mingsong, just give up on this idea. You're doomed this time. Not to mention Grand Secretary Wen, even if you bring in Prince Gong, it won't save you! It's a disgrace to Grand Secretary Wen to have a relative like you! Someone, take Lu Mingsong away!"

The Censorate can only sentence people to prison, while sentences above prison term have to be decided by the Ministry of Justice. However, as long as the case is sorted out and reported, the Ministry of Justice will generally not interfere. Otherwise, the Ministry of Justice has so few people, how can it handle the workload?

Lu Mingsong, you can’t save your head!
