Cui Weizhen did not disappoint the expectations of the spectators, and he was the king when he made a move.
Zhao Yuhuan had previously been convicted of kidnapping and trafficking children, and now he listed other crimes against the Zhao family, such as occupying people's fertile land and forcing good people to be humble... The most serious thing is that the Zhao family has a large amount of hidden land and hidden houses. Last year, the court reported
After the implementation of the reform and New Deal, he still did not repent and continued to go his own way, so he was charged with disobeying the decree.
Compared with these crimes, the previous crime of child trafficking was trivial, but the crimes listed later were enough for the entire Zhao family to have their homes confiscated and exiled.
Where has Concubine Zhao ever seen such a storm? Her legs softened and she fell directly to the ground. Prince Ping hurriedly helped her, but at this moment, he could not care about comforting his concubine. There was a look of disbelief on his face.
of confusion.
Magistrate Cui has only been in Mingzhou Prefecture for less than half a year. How did he find out such secret information?
There were deeds, account books, and servants and tenants brought from the Zhao family to identify them in the courtroom... There were both witnesses and physical evidence, and under the mountain of ironclad evidence, even if you were to deny it, your words would be extremely pale.
Zhao Yuhuan's face was ashen.
He can categorically deny that the kidnapping case was framed by his servants, but he can't fake it by forcing a good person to be a lowly person. Now that Zhao Yuhuan can no longer care about protecting himself, how to hold on to the Zhao family's huge foundation is the most important thing.
The most important thing!
With a plop, Zhao Yuhuan finally lowered his arrogant head. The aloof Zhao family head burst into tears at this time and regretted: "The prefect clearly knows that Zhao's crime is unforgivable. The kidnapping of your noble son was indeed his fault."
However, the Zhao family did not intend to hide the matter of hiding the house and hiding the field. It was due to the great disaster in Mingzhou Prefecture last year and the former magistrate was demoted. The Zhao family did not have time to report it clearly, so it was delayed until now. I would like to ask you to be clear and allow the Zhao family to make amends.
Clear old accounts."
As for the good land for the common people, and the crimes of forcing good people to be humble, he didn't even bother to quibble. Compared with hiding the house and hiding the land, what are these?
Since last year, His Majesty has been implementing the New Deal. I don’t know how many noble families have fallen foul of it. I don’t know how many families have been treated as a warning to others by killing chickens and honoring monkeys. The entire Zhou Dynasty knows that His Majesty is very determined to implement the New Deal.
Under such circumstances, in order to "respond" to the call, many dignitaries from aristocratic families took the initiative to report to the court that they had hidden their fields and households, and the tenants were properly resettled. Not to mention whether these people had anything to hide, at least they made a sufficient gesture.
Don't become a standout bird.
As soon as the New Deal came out, Mingzhou Prefecture was naturally in turmoil. Many families took action and expressed their loyalty to the court. However, Zhao Yuhuan was confident. He spent some money to bribe the former prefect You Hui and then made false accounts. He thought it was foolproof, but he didn't expect it.
Cui Weizhen actually found out!
There are so many powerful people in Mingzhou Prefecture, and there are so many people who have made false accounts. Why did Cui Weizhen only seize the Zhao family?
Thinking of what he had done before, Zhao Yuhuan's intestines turned green. He couldn't tell that he was going to be used as a chicken to scare the monkeys.
His mouth was full of bitter juice, but now, he had some choice and responsibility: "Sir, as the leader of the clan, Zhao failed to abide by the law and disobeyed the court's orders. All of this is Zhao's fault."
Zhao is willing to bear all the sins alone. Please be lenient and give the Zhao family a chance to atone for their sins."
