Chapter 299: Cleaning up the Jiangnan Officialdom
Nangong Rui appointed Tian Xiwen and Lin Bingsheng to assist Tian Xingjian.
Three imperial edicts were sent to Jiangnan at an emergency speed of 800 miles, appointing Tian Xiwen and Lin Bingsheng as temporary assistants to Chen Siren and Tian Xingjian, with the power to solve cases.
With more manpower, the speed has also increased.
Tian Xiaoxiao was holding Daju and eating melon in front of the government office.
On this day, a father and daughter came and accused the son of the patriarch of the Wang family, the largest family in Jiangnan, of raping their daughter.
Tian Xiaoxiao was very sympathetic and supportive of the girl.
In this era, when girls are raped, many of them endure it silently and dare not speak out.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, let's help her.]
Daju: [The son of the Wang family has murdered more than just this one girl.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How many more are there? ]
Daju: [Let me count. All the women in Jiangnan who were known to be pretty have been murdered.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh my god, isn't this a flower thief? ]
Daju: [It’s like a flower thief, but other people always send women to him. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Wait a minute, what you mean by this is that he has his hands on any girl, whether she is a married woman or not?]
Daju: [Yes! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [No one stood up?]
Daju: [Some women don’t even know they’ve been violated because their husbands knocked them unconscious and gave them to him.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [These men are afraid of the Wang family's son? ]
Daju: [The Wang family is the local tyrant of Jiangnan. Before Nangong Xu came, the Wang family ignored everything Chen Siren said.]
Chen Siren lowered his head guiltily.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Then list the evidence of Wang's crimes this time and kill all nine generations of his clan.]
Daju: [That depends on the emperor's opinion.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I'll go talk to him.]
Daju: [How should the case of Wang's son be judged? Now there is only this one piece of evidence. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [First collect other evidence from the Wang family, and then I will personally file a complaint with the emperor on behalf of the people of Jiangnan.]
The onlookers outside the government office clapped their hands in their hearts. Finally, someone tough enough dared to challenge the Wang family.
Daju: [Then let’s try some of Wang’s melons. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Okay!]
Daju: [The Wang family became wealthy thousands of years ago. Because of their merits in following the emperor, the emperor of that dynasty gave the Jiangnan region to the Wang family as a reward.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How insecure is that emperor? He needs to please his subordinates like this?]
Daju: [Because the Wang family gave up the throne. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [There is no such thing as giving up the throne. It is held by the most capable. The ancestors of the Wang family were very good at guessing people's minds!]
Daju: [The ancestors of the Wang family took with them generous rewards, countless gold, silver and jewelry and settled down in Jiangnan.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [With a thousand-year-old foundation, no wonder no one can shake it. ]
Daju: [The thousand-year-old roots have rotted, but no one dares to touch them. Once someone comes out, like this father and daughter, the big tree of the Wang family can fall at any time.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Has the Wang family done anything to benefit the people in Jiangnan over the past thousand years? ]
Daju: [The Wang family, who just came to Jiangnan, worked diligently, but they were only doing it for their own benefit. The Wang family's strength and influence were not as good as the one who sat on the throne, so the Wang family wanted to use the rich land of Jiangnan to lie dormant.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What happened next? ]
Daju: [The Wang family did indeed lie dormant for twenty years, and Jiangnan became the richest place in the entire country. But the Wang family's dream of becoming emperor did not die, and twenty years later, they rebelled.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [They rebelled but they didn’t kill them? ]
Daju: [The emperor, by mistake, left a son behind in the Wang family. The son returned to Jiangnan under an assumed name. He took the money that the Wang family had saved, changed his appearance, and established himself in Jiangnan.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The history of the Wang family is really fascinating.]
Daju: [Two hundred years later, the dynasty collapsed, and the Wang family restored their surname Wang. At that time, Jiangnan was still under the control of the Wang family.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The Wang family has produced many talented people. There are very few families that can maintain a thousand years.]
Daju: [The dynasties that followed did not dare to touch the Wang family, because the taxes levied by the Wang family in Jiangnan were the highest in the country. Whether it was war or famine, they all relied on Jiangnan.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I remember that all the officials in Jiangnan were transferred by the central government!]
Daju: [The first thing those officials did when they came to Jiangnan was to visit the Wang family and pray for their blessing.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [He is indeed the local emperor of Jiangnan. ]
Daju: [This is a historical issue. Even the founding emperor of the Ming Ning Kingdom did not dare to touch the Wang family.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Does the Wang family still want to be the emperor themselves? ]
Daju: [I have the will but not the strength. The Wang family has only one son. If the rebellion fails, then there will be no roots.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How can someone who is rich and powerful not have a son?]
Daju: [Maybe it has something to do with inbreeding? Can’t give birth to a son. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It’s not that inbreeding doesn’t produce sons, it’s that it doesn’t produce healthy children.]
Daju: [Maybe it has something to do with their Feng Shui? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [No matter what, maybe the law of nature is clear and it has punished their family.]
Daju: [In short, the Wang family is now doing all kinds of evil in Jiangnan, and is no longer the original Wang family. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What does it mean to do all kinds of evil? ]
Daju: [Burn, kill, rob, rape women, and torture children. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Then we have to wipe out the Wang family. ]
Daju: [Among the lawsuits your father and his friends received yesterday, no one dared to sue the Wang family.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Then let’s start with this father and daughter today. I’ll ask my dad to take this lawsuit.]
Daju: [No, Chen Siren has to take over.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh, yes! My father will leave Jiangnan, and Chen Siren will have to serve as an official here. He has to rely on the Wang family's case to establish his prestige in Jiangnan.]
Daju: [That’s right! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I’m afraid Chen Siren doesn’t dare! ]
Daju: [As long as someone backs him up, he will dare. ]
As the two were talking about this, another imperial edict came, ordering Chen Siren to thoroughly clean up Jiangnan and granting him the imperial sword, as if the emperor himself had come.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Rui has finally returned to his original smart and decisive self. Since he has been with Li Yuheng, his IQ has dropped by half.]
Daju: [You finally spoke out what was in your heart. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [That’s right. Sometimes, some women will affect the speed at which men draw their swords.]
Daju: [There are so many golden sentences today. 】
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Thank you, thank you! ]
Daju: [Now Chen Siren has nothing to worry about. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Where are his family members? They must be well protected.]
Daju: [Mr. Chen, you are still unmarried.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Niu, why don’t you get married? ]
Daju: [He used to be a fat man. Although he had good ideas for being an official, no one in Jiangnan dared to marry him.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Are there no girls in your hometown? ]
Daju: [He originally had a lover, but the Wang family harmed the girl, and he decided not to get married after that.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Did Mr. Chen's family also get harmed by the Wang family? ]
Daju: [That’s right.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Then this time, Master Chen can avenge his family. ]
Daju: [Must report! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [With the Imperial Sword in hand, the Wang family should have more cases, right? ]
