"Yes, those who broke into a house and robbed a young girl should be dismissed from their posts and exiled. However, he and several other people who attempted to commit the crime should be punished with fifty canes. For those who know the law and break the law, they will be given an additional one level and a hundred canes." Lu Yijiang said tremblingly.
After hearing this, Mu Qianyu nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Lu Tongpan is indeed proficient in the law."
Wei Zhong kept a dark face and said nothing.
Lu Yijiang felt like he was being roasted on the fire. He didn't dare to offend anyone, so he could only say tactfully: "Thank you, Mr. Futai, for the compliment."
The people outside the door were exchanging glances, thinking to themselves that these people have become like this and still need to be beaten a hundred times? Wouldn't that mean they would die?
"But Mr. Tong Xuan seems to have forgotten one of their charges. They have offended this court. How do they count?" Mu Qianyu asked with a smile.
Tongpanhan almost came down and looked in the direction of Wei Zhong again, he really didn't dare to answer.
Another group of people had to be beaten to death, so Wei Zhong had no choice but to raise his head and said, "Your Excellency, please forgive me. They must have offended you because they didn't know your identity. Since this is their first offender, can they be given a lighter punishment?"
"What Wei Tongzhi said is absolutely true. It's my fault that I forgot to reveal my identity yesterday. I should be given a lighter punishment."
Mu Qianyu agreed in an easy-going manner, and then asked the judge: "How many canes should be given if the punishment is not given lightly?"
"The offense of offending a superior official will be increased to one level and shall be punished with a rod of two hundred." Lu Yijiang just spoke. After all, it seems that the prefect is already trying to give Wei Tongzhi some face.
When Wei Zhong saw Mu Qianyu's current attitude, he also sneered in his heart. A little girl is a little girl after all. She is just showing off her official power. How can she really dare to compete with him.
Doesn't this still give him face?
The common people sighed with relief when they saw this. They had thought too much before. This is why officials should not protect each other.
"Two hundred sticks. Because you and others do not recognize me, and because Wei Tongzhi is interceding for you and others, I will give you a lighter punishment now."
As he spoke, Mu Qianyu said to the Yamen servant: "Come here, give each of these four people a hundred and ninety-nine sticks, and then they will be tortured in the courtyard."
"..." Everyone.
Dare you be willing to give me ten sticks free of charge after talking for a long time?
They speculated that they might be exempted from the five sticks because they did not know Shangguan, and the other five sticks were Wei Tongzhi's face.
That's Wei Zhong. He has been acting as the government official for the Anping government for fifteen years, but his face is actually worth five sticks?!
This is not giving face, this is a slap in the face.
Wei Zhong's face almost turned green. He really underestimated this girl. She actually dared to humiliate him repeatedly in public. Was this a declaration of war?
Lu Yijiang's face was also full of disbelief. If he had known this result, he would definitely have said one hundred and fifty sticks! Didn't he offend Wei Tongzhi now?!
The common people were confused. They could never guess that Mu Qianyu was so unwilling to give Wei Tongzhi face. This was not an ordinary act of strength.
The government officials were used to hearing Wei Tongzhi's words and did not move at this moment.
Mu Qianyu had already expected such a disaster, and still said to Wei Zhong with a smile on his face: "Why are you two still kneeling? We will all be from the same yamen from now on. There is no need to be so open to outsiders. Please get up quickly."
Lu Yijiang complained in his heart, if you don't let us get up, don't we have to kneel down?
Wei Zhong kept a dark face and said nothing. He wanted to see how the new prefect would deal with the situation of having no one to obey him.
He just wanted to let her know who has the final say in Anping Mansion.
"Why don't the yamen servants move?" Mu Qianyu looked at Wei Zhong with some surprise and said, "They must not be used to my orders, so please let Wei Tongzhi know."
Wei Zhong sneered in his heart, but said: "You are the master of Futai. These government servants should obey your orders. How can you give orders to subordinates?"
"Oh, that's right. This is my first time as an official, so I don't understand much." Mu Qianyu laughed and said to the government officials, "Excuse me, please do it."
There is still no one moving below. These people are all human beings and there is no sign of fire. This Lord Tongzhi obviously seems to have turned his back on the newly appointed manor. If a little girl obeys orders at this time, wouldn't it offend the actual person in charge of Anping Mansion?
, they are not stupid.
The common people felt the awkwardness of the atmosphere, and they were also worried about Mu Qianyu.
Mu Qianyu chuckled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, it must be the first time we meet and we are not familiar with each other. Who is the class leader?"
This statement is very directional, after all, there is only one person in charge of the class.
The first middle-aged yamen servant in red reluctantly took a step forward, cupped his hands in front of Mu Qianyu, and said lazily: "Xue Shan, a low-ranking yamen servant, is the head of the yamen team."
"Bantou Xue is indeed an extraordinary person." Mu Qianyu praised him and said, "Then I would like to ask Bantou Xue to carry out my order and use the staff immediately."
Xue Shan glanced at Wei Zhong, straightened his voice and said: "Master Qi, low-ranking officials must see a signed order before they can be punished. This is the rule in the government."
"That's it, then I'll go back to the house to supply you." Mu Qianyu said good-naturedly.
Xue Shan said with an impatient expression: "I'm afraid this is against the rules, and people with lower rank don't dare to go beyond the rules."
Wei Zhong looked proud.
Mu Qianyu saw the little actions of the two people in his eyes, and he didn't know that they were the same person, but his expression remained unchanged and asked: "Does this mean that I don't have to carry out my verbal orders?"
"My lord, Futai, forgive me." Although Xue Shan said he was sorry, he was not even willing to bow, and he could even see a smile in his eyes.
What's so scary about a mansion without soldiers?
The people were also lamenting. It was obvious that the new governor had a heart to do things for the people, but at such a young age, he could not compete with these people.
"Come on, kill me." Mu Qianyu leaned back and leaned on the table, his tone extremely calm.
"boom!"
Before everyone could react to what was going on, they heard a violent explosion, and then a blood mist enveloped the entire courtyard, and everyone's noses were filled with blood.
Xue Shan just disappeared, even his body was missing.
The people were dumbfounded. Is what they saw real? How could there be such a powerful killing method? Is this the power of human beings?
Not to mention those who have never seen the world, even Wei Zhong, Lu Yijiang and the government officials felt their legs weaken for a moment.
Living people disappeared in an instant. Does this mean that as long as Mr. Futai is willing, they will be the next ones to disappear?
Did this kind of iron-blooded skills really come from a seemingly harmless little girl? It’s a bit unbelievable no matter how you think about it.
Mu Qianyu touched his nose and said calmly: "I believe that verbal orders are also orders. What is the crime of disobedience? Lord Tongpan?"
"I am reporting to Mr. Futai that I am being dismissed from my post." Lu Yijiang's voice was a little stiff.
There was still blood mist floating all over the sky, and he felt chills running down his spine just standing here.
"That's because I've been too harsh." Mu Qianyu hit his forehead regretfully, but then quickly added: "It doesn't matter, I'll look into other things he did when I get back, and I'm not afraid that he won't be sentenced to death.
