Because Zhu Houzhao was on the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, he ordered people to simply hang up the inspector's censor Song Kai and interrogate him. As long as Song Kai refused to confess, Zhu Houzhao planned to have an intimate contact with the river water, which was mixed with countless excrement in Hedong and west.

However, Song Kai was just hung from the boat and shouted before he could even put it in the water:

"Your Majesty! I really have nothing to do with the case of the Tax Bureau! I don't know anything about this! If Your Majesty really doesn't believe it, please check it out in detail! Please don't swear to me into the water. I'm afraid of the cold. Now that winter has just passed, and when spring is chilly, the water will probably be very cold!"

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself that Song Kai is Qian Qianyi again, and he was afraid that the water was too cold, so he ordered:

"Hold him into the water until he confesses truthfully!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You can't do this! I am a child of Confucius and Mencius! I am a Jinshi on two lists and should be treated preferentially by the court!"

Song Kai shouted, and watched as he was getting closer and closer to the river. As soon as he touched his head on the river, he couldn't help but tremble:

"Your Majesty! I'm asking for it! I'm asking for it all!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that these civil officials were really so afraid of the cold. He thought maybe Qian Qianyi in history was not really pretentious. Seeing that Song Kai was willing to ask, he asked the Jinyiwei to lift Song Kai up.

Song Kai took a long breath, and then took the initiative to confess his relationship with the gentry to Zhu Houzhao. He even told him how he was trapped in the interests of the gentry in Jiangnan and said with a sad face:

"I am really helpless! Your Majesty! I thought I was grateful for the court's promotion back then, and asked me to inspect Nanzhili. I also raised my mind to be a good official who ruled the people. But those gentry said that they were the people, and that they were the people who ruled the people, and that they could not deny that for the sake of local peace, they could only follow their wishes!"

After hearing Song Kai's words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but ask with a smile: "So you have made your decision for the people, and you have made your decision to go to bed, and you have made your decision to go to the villa of these gentry? Before you knew it, you found that you can not only be promoted, but also beauties can throw themselves into your arms and silver can also be sent to you. You find that they are all obedient and good people, and those who sue them are troublemakers, right?"

"It's true! Your Majesty! I really just want to make the decision for the people, but the gentry is too cunning. I am really helpless! I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for my crimes. I am willing to resign and return home without asking about political affairs. I know I am incompetent!"

Song Kai knew that he was now taken over by the emperor and it was impossible for him to retain his official position, so he only put the blame on the gentry in Jiangnan.

After all, he could see that the emperor came to Jiangnan in person to attack the gentry of Jiangnan. He put the main responsibility on the gentry of Jiangnan, so he could also seek a break. Anyway, he had made enough money, so wouldn't it be a pleasure to go back to be a gentry?

"Then, you can go back and be a gentry like them, act as a mighty man, annex the land, and seize the people's wealth. If you are dissatisfied, you will also let the government decide for you, the people? Do both soft and hard? Or do officials and gentry collude?"

Zhu Houzhao asked again with a smile.

Song Kai, who was exposed, saw this and guessed that Zhu Houzhao was unwilling to let him go easily, so he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty! I don't have this intention!"

"Cut it! Since you have confessed on your own initiative, I think you have surrendered and be leniently punished! You are not lingchi! Thank you very much!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Song Kai was stunned for a moment, then cried and begged: "Your Majesty, I don't want to die! I really don't want to die! I am willing to be an internal official, I can be an internal official, as long as your Majesty let me survive!"

"It's been cut off! You can do it just by saying that you can do it!"

Zhu Houzhao shouted loudly.

So, the Southern Zhili Inspector Censor Song Kai was dragged down, and then pressed down on the edge of the ship. Qiu Yue swung his knife!

Click!

With a knife, Song Kai's head fell into the cold river water, and the lower half of his body was also thrown into it.

"So quickly give the evidence of the crime confessed by Song Kai to the governor of Nanzhili Wang Shouren. Next, the Jinyiwei does not have to come forward for the time being!

Since these gentry in Jiangnan are people, I will not interfere and let the government govern them. As soon as Wang Shouren took office, he would take up his grudges with these gentry in Jiangnan, so as not to be corrupted by these gentry in the future. Tell Wang Shouren that if he is not done ruthlessly enough, he will not be caught in one go! I will remove him! Let’s take the means and come with a tough approach!”

Zhu Houzhao ordered Liang Ze, a Jinyiwei Qianhu.

"yes!"

After Liang Ze received the order, he quickly marched south and arrived in Nanjing City within three days, and arrived at Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming is now being disturbed by various gentry in Jiangnan.

"Master Hao is here to pay homage!"

"Mr. Tong submits a post and asks for a visit!"

"Report to the master, I am the two of you, Uncle Shi, to relieve my despair. I am Xiaohe, good at playing 0 flutes; I am Yulian, the innate path is narrow!"

"This is Mr. Guan's gift list, five jade boys, five jade girls, three thousand yellow rice, and ten thousand white rice... Please understand the public opinion and accept them all!"

Wang Yangming finally went to Zhenjiang quietly to investigate the local water bandits in a low-court. He learned some military intelligence from the local fishermen. He also went to check it out himself, and even went to Chongming County to investigate the pirates.

After Wang Yangming returned to his residence, Liang Ze, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, had been waiting for him for a long time, and conveyed the evidence of the crime confessed by Song Kai and Zhu Houzhao's instructions to Wang Yangming: "The governor can start taking people!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Wang Yangming took the imperial guards’ memorial from Liang Ze, Qianhu, and immediately ordered: “Change the official uniform! Take my official to see Yang Mao, Juesheng Guard! Now everything is complete, start taking people!”

...

Yuan Zhongan and Gu Xian, the gentry in Jiangnan had not yet returned to Suzhou at this time, and they were also gathering on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

Gu Xiantong couldn't help but say, "Yuan Xiaolian, you said that the inspector Song Kai was now arrested by the Jinyiwei. Will we be given a letter? If the Jinyiwei investigates it strictly?"

"Gu Hanlin doesn't have to worry. If Song Kai really confesses to us, will his court really dare to take action? Wouldn't he blame the public after hearing the law? Besides, if the court wants to punish the crime, he can only make a fuss about the recent slaughter of the tax bureau. Song Kai can only confess to Yuan, so you don't have to worry!"

Yuan Zhongan said.

"You are worried about you!" Gu Xiantong replied.

"I'm going to go to the East to stay temporarily after leaving Nanjing tomorrow! Let's move the small capital over and come back after the tide is calm!"

Yuan Zhongan was just talking when a sudden sound of horse hooves came from outside. Soon, the officers and soldiers of Juesheng Guard surrounded the place, and Wang Yangming also appeared in front of these gentry at this time.

Gu Xiantong, Yuan Zhongan and other gentry in Jiangnan were shocked when they saw this.

Yuan Zhongan even asked directly: "Why did Lord Futai suddenly bring so many officers and soldiers?"

"Yuan Zhongan, you collude with bandits to seize taxes! The evidence is conclusive! This official now decides to detain you and interrogate you!"

Wang Yangming shouted directly.

Yuan Zhongan couldn't help but be shocked: "Governor, why should I take it to the lower level? I just drink here! Students are filial and honest people. Even if you are an official, you can't take the students at will!"

"Why do you have to take care of you, you know it yourself!"

When Wang Yangming was speaking, Yang Mao, the guard who had already seen Wang Yangming's gesture, arrested Yuan Zhongan.

Seeing this, Gu Xiantong hurriedly advised: "Mr. Nephew! Although you are a governor, you cannot break the rules of the court! It's not that Uncle Shi said to you! Yuan Zhongan is a juren and an official. How can you take him casually? Even if you take him, you have to take him first. Uh, the school administrator, Lord Song Kai and Song have been arrested by the Jinyiwei and were arrested into the capital. You have not been allowed to give him permission to the school official, so you cannot arrest him!"

"Yes, Governor, you can't arrest students at will!"

Yuan Zhongan shouted when he saw this. He didn't expect that the person who came to take him to come so quickly, and he was also a governor. However, he had already tested the attitude of governor Wang Yangming before, and he had a good attitude towards the gentry, but he did not expect that Wang Yangming would turn his face in a blink of an eye. Yuan Zhongan and the gentry present were a little resentful and had a kind of anger of being fooled.

"I have obtained the cabinet votes and approved the title of the Ministry of Rites and Supervisors. Not only will I supervise the military, civil affairs of Nanzhili, but also the academic affairs! Yuan Zhongan's fame and honor has been dismissed by his official, and he has written the Ministry of Rites. You don't have to worry about this official;

This official is following the rules. In addition, your fame and status have been removed by your officials and must be detained, otherwise it will not be enough to distinguish the suspicion of your accomplice with Yuan Zhongan!”

As early as when these gentry were flattering to him, Wang Yangming secretly sent people to follow these people, and he deliberately treated these gentry very much at the beginning to paralyze these gentry gentry in Jiangnan. The purpose was to catch all these people in one go after obtaining the evidence of the crime. Now, Gu Xiantong of these people, he naturally would not let them go.

Yuan Zhongan didn't expect this situation, and other gentry in Jiangnan didn't expect it. However, Gu Xiantong shouted proudly, taking advantage of his former Hanlin official and his identity as Wang Yangming Uncle Shi:

"Wang Yun! (Wang Yangming's name when he was a child), don't be arrogant! Don't think that you are the governor now, so you can be so arrogant! I just want to ask you, if you dare to treat us like this, how will you face Lord Lingzun in the future! How will you face your Wang family! If you do this, you will make your Wang family unable to gain a foothold in the Shilin!"

"Uncle Gu Shi, do you think I, Wang Shouren, will I be afraid of my father? Of course, the nephew thought that my father would not blame him for this. So what if I blame him, the nephew was first from the court and then from the Wang family. What's more, I won't take you now! It would be better for my Wang family to not bring you, the group of people who sucked the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, to justice!"

Wang Yangming said that, and asked Yang Mao to arrest Gu Xiantong and others for the next issue.

For a time, the news of Wang Yangming, the governor of Southern Zhili, suddenly imprisoning more than a dozen gentry gentry spread wildly in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the news of Wang Yangming's strict interrogation of these people every day reached the ears of these gentry.

Yin Qian, the Minister of Revenue of the Ministry of Revenue of the Hongzhi Dynasty, also learned about this.
