Li Changan's heart skipped a beat, and then he was overwhelmed by the surprise, and said hurriedly,
"Bring him here immediately. I'll wait for you here at the private residence. Don't go to the county office yet to prevent anything from going wrong."
"You interrogate him first on the way, but be sure not to kill him."
"Okay!" Feng Buyi was also relieved.
I accepted one of Li Changan's poems, but if I still don't do well, I will really have no shame in staying in the Southern Patrol Division.
Putting down the Thousand Miles Communication Talisman, Li Changan clenched his fist fiercely.
Then he hurriedly returned to the desk, dug out the files that Feng Buyi had compiled before, and organized the important evidence onto a piece of paper.
Although the person has been found, we still need to find out the mastermind hiding behind that person.
Otherwise, just finding people is of no use.
The more times like this, the more difficult time becomes.
Li Changan watched the sky in the east getting brighter and brighter, and he became more and more anxious.
More and more people were walking towards the county government office. When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, they knelt on the ground directly.
One after another, they knelt on the ground in a dense crowd.
At the gate of the county government office, the directors and clerks of the Nanxun Town Fu Division looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in their hearts.
But they know better.
It is simply impossible for Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple to resolve the case as these people think.
The law of Jin Dynasty is the only criterion.
"Sigh... If the Senator can't find the key evidence, it will be useless even if all these people kneel down and die here."
"What's more, the Councilor is at a loss as to what to do now."
"The outcome of today's retrial has already been decided."
County government hall,
Xiang Handong woke up early and sat in his study, waiting for the outcome of today's case.
Although Qin Zhenliang, a third-grade scholar, was in charge, and Liang Yuesong, the Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, had repeatedly assured him, after all, it involved his only son, how could he rest assured?
But he was too embarrassed to face Li Changan again.
The pile of hundreds of names was like a mountain, weighing on his heart and making it difficult for him to resist.
Lian Yuesong was very relaxed.
Today is said to be a retrial, but the chief officials of Yunyang County have long confessed to embezzling money and food for disaster relief.
Moreover, Li Changan's previous investigation was very detailed, so there was no need to spend any more effort at all.
If it weren't for the purpose of blocking the public's mouth and making outsiders think that he would have spent time investigating the case.
That's why we deliberately delayed it for three more days.
Otherwise, he would have closed the case directly three days ago.
To put it bluntly, today is just a formality.
Besides, there is a third-grade scholar in charge, so it will be useless no matter how much trouble Li Changan makes.
Once the case is resolved, just leave. Whatever happens then will have nothing to do with you.
And at this time,
Qin Zhenliang had also opened his eyes and looked into the void in front of him, "An Shitang, please don't let Li Changan do anything nonsense today."
An Shitang's voice came from the void, "Why did I just let him act nonsense?"
"I came here just to take a look and prevent anyone from trying to kill him."
"As for the rest, I can't control it. He is the favorite of Duke Xian of Zhao and Duke Wuxu."
Qin Zhenliang snorted coldly, "Don't think that I don't know about him and your great-granddaughter."
"What? You want Li Changan to marry you?"
"Don't even think about it. With Li Changan's character, will he bow his head and get married just because you are a third-grade scholar?"
An Shitang chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter, no matter whether we marry or not, the affection will always be there."
"I don't object to you stopping him; but if you want to take the opportunity to attack him, don't blame me for being rude."
Qin Zhenliang stood up, "If I wanted to take action, I would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"
"I'm too lazy to talk to you."
Pushing open the door, he saw Lian Yuesong just walking out of the study, so he asked, "Sir Lian, when will the case be heard?"
Lian Yuesong clasped his fists and saluted, and replied, "Chen Shi Sheng Tang."
"It's already Mao hour, there's still one hour left."
Qin Zhenliang nodded, "Okay, hurry up and finish the interrogation. If Li Changan comes over, I will stop him."
"Thank you Xian Gong." Lian Yuesong said.
…
At the quarter of Maozheng, there are only three quarters of an hour left before Chen hour.
Li Changan finally waited until Feng Buyi arrived.
Feng Buyi grabbed a man with wounds all over his body and walked into the house.
"I found this guy from a brothel."
"But before, he was still a servant in the Juncheng Mansion. He left the Juncheng Mansion three months ago for unknown reasons."
"I thought I would leave, but I never expected that I would end up hanging out in a brothel."
Li Changan nodded, "What about the others? Did you ask anything?"
"He denies that he has been to Zewu County, and he will not admit it whether he is alive or dead." Feng Buyi said,
"As for the reason for leaving the Juncheng Mansion, I just said that because I worked hard and saved some money, I left the Juncheng Mansion."
Li Changan shrugged with a smile, and took the man from Feng Buyi's hand.
Then he pinched open the man's mouth, stuffed a Blood Essence Pill inside, and added a Soldier Food Pill.
Feng Buyi looked confused, "Sir Senator, are you...?"
Isn't it going to be a trial?
Why do you feed me pills as soon as you come up?
Is this an attempt to convince others with virtue?
But soon, Feng Buyi completely gave up the idea of convincing others with his virtue, and looked at Li Changan with a look of horror.
I saw Li Changanti carrying the boy, removing his chin, and throwing him directly into a wooden barrel filled with salt water.
Press this person's head and prevent him from moving at all.
"Woo...Woo..."
The boy struggled desperately in pain, but how could he resist Li Changan's strength?
I could only endure the severe pain, and because my jaw was dislocated by Li Changan, I couldn't speak.
It's completely a matter of survival rather than death.
Li Changan waited for a while, fearing that the boy was used to soaking the wound in salt water, so he took it out.
He pulled out a rough hemp rope soaked in salt water and passed it between the boy's legs. He chuckled and said,
"I just need to pull gently like this..."
The boy's eyes were instantly filled with fear, he shook his head desperately and made a sound of "Ah...ah...".
Feng Buyi, who was standing aside, suddenly felt a chill between his legs and looked at Li Changan in disbelief.
How could this guy think of such a torture method?
Especially for men...it's simply a capital punishment!
"Can we talk properly?" Li Changan asked with a smile, as if the cruel punishment just now had nothing to do with him.
The boy nodded hurriedly, his body constantly shaking and twitching.
The lingering effects of soaking the wound in salt water have not worn off yet.
Li Changan reset the man's chin, "Tell me carefully and in detail. If you dare to say a wrong word, I promise to treat you well."
"I wonder if you have ever seen a mace..."
Then he turned around and asked Feng Buyi, who was looking at a monster, "Do you know how to use the grammar of "open and honest meeting"?
Feng Buyi nodded decisively.
…
The time for retrial on the embezzlement of money and food for disaster relief is getting closer and closer.
More and more people were kneeling outside the Yamen, and they formed a large area, filling the whole street, and they were still spreading out.
The air around me seemed to be frozen, making people breathless.
The gate of the county government office is open,
Lian Yuesong walked from the back hall to the front hall, and a group of Southern Patrol Fusi officers quickly lined up on both sides of the front hall.
A slap on the gavel,
"The hour has arrived, let's ascend to the hall!"
Lian Yuesong said loudly, "Bring the prisoner to court."
The fourteen chief officials of Yunyang County were quickly brought up by the officers of the Zhenfu Division.
Niu Dachuan carefully raised his head and looked at the front hall of the county government office, and his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
Those fourteen dog officers didn't even have shackles!
He just took off his official uniform and put on plain clothes.
This...is clearly the final conclusion of the case!
Are their begging and kneeling really useless?
Even Yue Song didn't waste time and said,
"Today there are Shan Yanwen, the governor of Yunyang County, Xiang Hongke, the county magistrate, and Jing Zhonghui, the magistrate of Shanyang County..."
"A total of 2,490,000 in disaster relief funds were embezzled!"
"Twenty-four thousand catties of rice and grain for disaster relief!"
"The physical evidence is complete and all the criminals confessed."
"Therefore, I judge..."
"The county governor Shan Yanwen was demoted to the fourth rank, the county magistrate Xiang Hongke was demoted to the fourth rank, and the Shanyang County magistrate Jing Zhonghui was demoted to the second rank..."
The entire sentencing process was frighteningly fast.
There was not even a moment to burn incense before and after.
After Lian Yuesong finished speaking, he took out a fire lottery from the tube and was about to throw it away.
At this time, a loud shout came from afar, "Lord Lian, please wait!"
"Li Chang'an, right counselor of the Southern Patrol Division, has a case to report!"
Driven by martial arts energy, the sound rolled in like muffled thunder.
Those people kneeling in a large area outside the county government office,
The chief secretary and officers of the Southern Patrol Division,
There are also Yunyang County officials who have begun to look happy...
Naturally, this also includes Lian Yuesong, who sits in the county government office.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
The faces of the common people were all filled with overflowing joy, while the chief ministers and servants had complicated expressions.
The joy in the eyes of the Yunyang County officials instantly disappeared, replaced by strong resentment.
Damn Li Changan, how dare you make a big fuss in court at this time!
As long as he doesn't die today, he will definitely make this person pay a heavy price in the future!
Xiang Handong, who had been sitting in the back hall of the county government office, was shaken violently and hurriedly stood up, but was stopped by Qin Zhenliang.
"No need to worry about Xiang Jijiu, I will stop him."
As soon as he finished speaking, a five-color light shot straight into the sky, and then fell from the sky above the gate of the county government office, blocking Li Changan's path.
At the same time,
Lian Yuesong said loudly, "There is no doubt about this case. The fourteen prisoners will immediately surrender their official positions and wait for the court to punish them."
The next moment, the sound of the fire lotus falling to the ground, spurred by the "sound like thunder" grammar, spread all over the place.
A deep despair quickly spread along with the sound of the fire lottery falling to the ground, covering the hearts of all people in Zewu County.
