Ming Jiajing: Starting from Immortality

Chapter 69 Xu Ying was executed for colluding with Japanese pirates!

Li Shizhen is here.

People can't die.

Xu Ying fainted after being beaten with twenty sticks, and Shen Yishi fainted after being beaten with thirty sticks.

While being beaten with a stick, Xu and Shen did not confess, but instead accused Hai Rui of handling the case unfairly.

It is ridiculous to interrogate Chun'an about the Guitian incident on the charge of being a gambler.

Moreover, Xu Ying and Shen Yishi both revealed the matter of the land. Unless Hai Rui could overturn the official documents on land acquisition from the province and the prefecture, he could not convict them.

Hai Rui would overturn the provincial government's land expropriation document, but not now. Hai Rui responded calmly to the two's resistance.

I can beat him with twenty or thirty sticks today, and I can beat him again when he wakes up tomorrow. I can keep beating him until he has been beaten with a number of sticks equal to the number of hands that need to be chopped off.

But faster than Hai Rui expected, someone came to the mansion, and it was not an outsider, but the prefect of Hangzhou, Ma Ningyuan.

When Ma Ningyuan arrived at Chun'an County Government Office, he ordered Hai Rui to release the prisoners without even sitting down or drinking any water.

Hai Rui refused, so Ma Ningyuan revealed his identity. When the Emperor's Sword came out, Ma Ningyuan wilted.

The next day, an official document from the provincial censorate also arrived. Zhejiang censor He Maocai issued an official document ordering Hai Rui to release the person.

Hai Rui used the Emperor's Sword to cut the official document in half, and then ordered the yamen runners to continue beating Shen Yishi and Xu Ying.

Ma Ningyuan was so frightened by this act that he immediately reported it.

The Zhejiang Provincial Surveillance Office issued another official document, changing the previous order and discussing having Hai Rui transfer the prisoners Shen Yishi and Xu Ying to the Provincial Surveillance Office for trial.

Hai Rui immediately refused.

After several days of beatings, Xu Ying, the third son of the Xu family, had not a single piece of healthy flesh left on his body. Coupled with the special healing medicine made by Li Shizhen, it felt like being bitten by bees, insects, mosquitoes and ants when applied to his body, and Xu Ying was in excruciating pain.

The most crucial thing is that Xu Ying's crime became more serious. A family came from Suzhou and said that Xu Ying had set his eyes on dozens of acres of good paddy fields in that family and forced the family to donate them to the Xu family.

This shows the arrogance of the Xu family in Songjiang Prefecture. They coveted other people's land and even asked them to give it to them.

The Xu family of Songjiang Prefecture was powerful, and this Suzhou family did not dare to refuse. Even though they knew they would lose their land, they still presented the land deed in person.

This family thought that the matter ended there, but they never expected that Xu Ying was not only interested in Shuitian, but also the daughter of a good family.

The daughter was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and had grown into a beautiful young lady. She was seen by Xu Ying when she went to visit her grandfather's grave.

Xu Ying approached her and flirted with her, saying that he wanted to take her daughter as his concubine. Fortunately, the whole family was there and politely refused.

It was from that time that Xu Ying made a harsh statement that he would not only take the daughter of this family as a concubine, but also make the whole family slaves of Songjiang Prefecture for generations.

And Xu Ying really did it. After taking away the land, the family was forced into a desperate situation. When they were thinking of moving away, that rainy night, a group of masked men rushed into their home.

They beat the daughter's parents to death and abducted the daughter.

After her parents died and her innocence was taken away, the daughter simply hanged herself.

The daughter's two brothers did not return home that night because they went fishing, and thus escaped the disaster. After hastily burying their parents and sister, they ran for a day and a night to leave Songjiang Prefecture and went to Nanjing City to sue Xu Ying.

However, in the huge city of Nanjing, no government office or official dared to accept the complaint.

The two brothers, completely desperate, set out on the journey back to Songjiang Prefecture, ready to wait for an opportunity to kill Xu Ying.

God has eyes. As soon as he returned to Hangzhou, he heard that Xu Ying was imprisoned in Chun'an County, so he rushed there to sue Xu Ying.

Hai Rui accepted the complaint and sent people to Suzhou to investigate. There was no need to investigate the matter because the Xu family never thought of covering up anything they did.

Everyone in the whole of Jiangnan knew that Xu Ying had seized the people's land and bullied men and women.

Hai Rui thought it was enough to keep Shen Yishi alive, so he conspired to kill Xu Ying.

Behead and make a decision.

Xu Ying's head flew high up, blood gushed out of his chest like water, and his head fell heavily to the ground. His eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.

After seeing the third son of the Xu family die in front of him, Ma Ningyuan could no longer stay in Chun'an County and immediately returned to Hangzhou Prefecture.

……

At the Zhejiang Governor's Office.

He Maocai, the provincial governor, angrily kicked Ma Ningyuan on the shoulder and cursed, "I'll kick you to death, you son of a bitch!"

The prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture was actually intimidated by the magistrate under his jurisdiction. He stayed in Chun'an for several days in vain and even the third son of the Xu family was killed. What's the difference between him and a waste?
Ma Ningyuan was kicked to the ground and immediately stood up and wanted to fight back. Although the Censorate's Office was large, it was not big enough to bully the prefect of Hangzhou at will.

Besides, Hai Rui was holding the Emperor's Sword in his hand, and he was now ruthless. What was the difference between a head-on confrontation and stretching out his neck for Hai Rui to chop off?
Zheng Michang had been sitting there annoyed to death for a long time. Seeing He Maocai and Ma Ningyuan making such a fuss again, his brows immediately frowned together.

In a rage, Ma Ningyuan slapped He Maocai in the face. One of them didn't expect to hit him, and the other didn't think of dodging. With a "pop", the yamen fell silent in an instant.

He Maocai, who had been an official for decades, was slapped in the face for the first time. Without thinking twice, he punched Ma Ningyuan on the head and said, "I'll kill you!"

You punched me, I kicked you, and the fight was so intense that Zheng Michang got angry and said, "Enough!"

It's come to this point, and instead of thinking of a solution, they're still fighting among themselves. It's really driving me crazy.

He Maocai and Ma Ningyuan, panting, stopped fighting and looked at Zheng Michang, waiting for his decision.

"The matter of Guitian has been overturned."

Zheng Michang's tone also became a little impatient: "Mr. Xu San is dead, and Shen Yishi is still in Hai Rui's hands. With the Emperor's Sword blocking them, we can't save them even if we want to.

Guitian, I'm not afraid of Shen Yishi's confession. What I'm afraid of is that Hai Rui has other intentions.

Don't you forget what the Emperor gave you the Emperor's Sword for? "

The Xin'an River burst in nine counties.

It once again came to the minds of He Maocai and Ma Ningyuan.

He Maocai's eyes suddenly became empty, and he thought randomly, "No way."

"Why not?"

Zheng Michang continued, gritting his teeth and saying, "Hai Rui was able to force the third son of Xu and Shen Yishi to tell him about the strange field by arresting them for gambling. When the strange field matter is revealed, do you think Hai Rui will ask about the Xin'an River matter?"

The Zhejiang officials now really experienced Hai Rui's ability to take advantage of the situation to make a difference.

If Shen Yishi could not hold on any longer and confessed that the Xin'an River had burst in nine counties, Zhejiang and Beijing would be faced with another major purge.

He Maocai was stunned by Zheng Michang's words. He became even more anxious and sweat streamed down his face. "It's a life-and-death situation. Either Hai Rui dies or we die."

"You're going to kill the man who holds the Emperor's Sword?" Ma Ningyuan widened his eyes.

Killing a county magistrate is not a problem, but killing a county magistrate who has the emperor's sword is a huge problem.

The imperial court needs evidence to fight corruption, but only a position is needed to suppress a rebellion.

"We can't kill Hai Rui, but can't we kill the Japanese pirates?" He Maocai looked at him steadily.

There were more than a dozen Japanese pirates in the Hangzhou prison.

"Communication with Japan?"
