Chapter 533 The Fiendish Butcher
The officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River was turned into a huge sieve by Gao Pan. Under the collusion of officials and businessmen, a certain person was investigated, and the next person could easily be dug out by following the clues.

What's more, Gao Pan has collected enough evidence, and these officials have been found out one by one, and they are in the process of being cleaned up.

Random salt merchants were investigated, Guangling Salt Industry began to reshuffle, and the original silk spinning industry bosses also changed people one after another.

For this reason, Gao Pan wrote to Shen Jinhua a long time ago, asking her to tell Shen Jieli to come to Jiangnan.

The raw silk supplied by the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau is mulberry farmers from all over the south of the Yangtze River. The landlords and wealthy gentry who originally controlled huge amounts of land were uprooted one by one with the corruption case of "Guangling Thin Horse".

And their land was also taken back by the government. At this time, there was enough land in Gao Pan's hands, and on these lands, all finished mulberry trees were planted, and only someone needed to cultivate silkworms.

Shen Jinhua also replied quickly, telling Gao Pan that Shen Jieli would get up and come to Guangling soon, and told him not to worry.

Regarding Shen Jieli's movements, Gao Pan was not the most concerned. What surprised Gao Pan the most was that Shen Jinhua told him that Lu Wang wanted to marry Gao Lanshu!
In the letter, Shen Jinhua truthfully told Gao Pan about this matter, clearly telling Gao Pan that this was Gao Lanshu's own choice, and there was some meaning of blaming Gao Pan in her words.

Shen Jinhua believes that it was precisely because of Gao Pan's previous thoughts that Gao Lanshu began to move her mind, and now she took the initiative to contact Lu Wang.

Gao Pan was stunned by this news. Naturally, he didn't expect that he wanted to plant flowers and the flowers would not bloom. At this time, he accidentally planted willows to make shade!

Through Shen Jinhua's letter, Gao Pan knew that Gao Lanshu's mind could not be changed, and she did this for Gao Pan.

This made Gao Pan's heart very complicated. In fact, after Shen Jinhua and Ning Yan's persuasion, Gao Pan had already lost his mind.

I just think that it is enough for Gao Lanshu to marry a good family. From now on, with him and Gao Ming around, no matter who Gao Lanshu marries, they can guarantee that Gao Lanshu will not be bullied by her husband's family.

But Gao Pan never expected that in the end, Gao Lanshu would go the way he had set up, and would marry into Prince Lu's mansion.

Gao Pan and King Lu have known each other for a long time, and understand that although King Lu is not a perfect person, he is still a very good prince.

Therefore, Gao Pan is very optimistic about King Lu, and it would be great if he can resist the extreme. Besides, King Lu also values ​​him very much.

What's more, Dong Pingzhang has always been very optimistic about King Lu, thinking that King Lu is the direct prince left by the former queen. No matter what he says, King Lu will take over the throne.

Moreover, following the downfall of Prince Gong, King Liang has become more and more in decline, and now the prince recognized by the court is King Lu.

Therefore, for Gao Pan, if King Lu's concubines include his relatives, it would be the best, and it will be regarded as a double guarantee from now on.

As for Gao Lanshu's thoughts, Gao Pan felt both happy and a little guilty. After all, he still had the heart to treat Gao Lanshu as a pawn to go up.

However, the matter has come to this point, Gao Pan can only pray silently for Gao Lanshu in his heart, hoping that she will be favored by King Lu.

From then on, Lu Wang Yuji, not to mention being a queen, was also one of the four noble concubines, so that Gao Lanshu could gain a firm foothold in the harem and at the same time echo Gao Pan.

After the collapse of Lou's family, Gao Ruoning could only have a bitter face, and was arranged by Gao Pan to go back to the capital by boat.

In Gao Ruoning's eyes, Gao Pan couldn't see any gratitude, but resentment instead, which made Gao Pan feel a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Speaking of which, if they hadn't arrived in time, Gao Ruoning would have been tortured to death by Lou Hui.

But Gao Ruoning not only didn't appreciate Gao Pan and them, but pleaded for Lou Hui and the Lou family again and again.

But for Lou Hui and the Lou family, Gao Pan naturally couldn't let go. After all, there are many people behind the Lou family, and the Lou family must be investigated.

Seeing the collapse of Lou's family, Lou Hui was sentenced to prison by Gao Pan. Gao Ruoning was ashamed, and she no longer had the former look. It seemed that she followed Lou Hui's death.

Although Gao Pan was dissatisfied with Gao Ruoning's stubbornness, he could understand it.

After all, this Lou Hui was the young master of a famous family before, and he was also a famous talent in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was also very handsome.

In Gao Ruoning's heart, this is her perfect husband, even if Lou Hui wants to beat her, it is just a moment of confusion, and he will wake up later.

But Gao Pan felt that Gao Ruoqian was so obsessed that he couldn't see the real face behind Lou Hui's handsome appearance.

He was also thinking in his heart, if Gao Ruoning wanted to hold a grudge because of this, he would have nothing to say, everyone in the Gao family could see clearly whether what he did was right or wrong.

As for why Gao Pan was able to pierce the Jiangnan officialdom in one fell swoop this time, one is because these people did not expect that Gao Pan, a magistrate, could know so many things.

Second, they didn't have the slightest preparation. They just felt that even the patrol officers in the south of the Yangtze River were their own people, and they had their "spokespersons" in the court, so they were basically fearless.

Therefore, when Gao Pan presented enough evidence, everyone had no time to react and was exposed to the sun.

In the end, they are also too arrogant, and they have already put on the stage openly the exchange of many private interests.

Gao Pan just sent someone to investigate for a while, and a lot of evidence came at hand, and there was no need to dig deeper.

In addition, in Jinzhuang Town before, Gao Pan already knew the dark operations behind them, as long as he followed this line of thought, he would soon be able to find other evidence.

In this way, in the early summer of Tianfeng's 18th year, because of a memorial issued by Gao Pan, the prefect of Guangling, the entire Jiangnan officialdom was directly pierced. As many as 400 officials were detected one after another, which shocked the whole world.

This time Gao Pan's reputation as the 'Fierce God Butcher' has spread throughout the world. Before that, it was only known in the court and official circles.

The huge landslide also brought a new opportunity, that is, the appointment of officials. At the same time, Gao Pan officially announced in mid-May that Guangling Mansion began to implement a new policy.

At this time, Gu Xinshan, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, was so busy with the landslide that he had no time to talk to Gao Pan about whether he wanted to implement the New Deal.

In addition, many landlords and wealthy gentry have been cleaned up by Gao Pan because of their involvement in the collapse plan. Gao Pan knows that the time has come for him to implement the New Deal.

Not only that, Gao Pan also wrote a letter to Emperor Tianfeng, proposing to increase business taxes.

Gao Pan's reason is also very clear, that is, through the collapse of the plan, it can be known that these landlords and wealthy businessmen bribed officials with tens of thousands of taels of silver at every turn.
