"The governor at that time was Chen Guangteng......" Fu Mingrui said, Duanmu Qingchen looked at him, Fu Mingrui stood next to Lianyouyou, in the main hall, "He was listening to Zhou Youfa's words, thinking that the epidemic was serious, and he had no choice but to transfer troops to suppress the epidemic, although he didn't know the truth, but after suppressing the plague, he still couldn't forgive himself for slaughtering the villagers of Lijia Village, so he resigned that year, left Wuzhou with his wife and children, and returned to his hometown." ”

Duanmu Qingchen was slightly surprised, and sat back in place.

"We also went to Chen Guangteng's hometown to find him, because he couldn't let go of the affairs of Lijia Village all the year round, and lived in guilt and depression every day, so he died young, leaving only orphans and widows, so he was not arrested this time. Fu Mingrui reported on the spot on 151 that Chen Guangteng's death is not deserved, but it cannot be exempted from responsibility.

Chen Guangteng didn't know the truth, but the plague must be suppressed, he did his job, but the epidemic people were also ordinary people, so he always felt guilty and blamed himself. He was negligent in failing to personally verify the outbreak reported by Zhou.

"Chen Guangteng has passed away, and His Royal Highness will no longer pursue him for dereliction of duty. But you are all alive! You must learn the lesson of Chen Guangteng!" Duanmu Qingchen pointed at the hundred officials in the hall with a startled wood, "If there is an outbreak of the plague, you should first investigate and verify! You must not send troops to suppress it at will!"

"Yes—the prince is wise—" The officials also regretted coming to the hearing today, knowing that there would be such a major secret in this case, and no one really wanted to come. If you accidentally implicate yourself, you will be burned and thrown into the net.

The hundred officials got up one after another, and when they sat in the hall at this time, they were also like sitting on pins and needles, and they were restless.

"Then what about this Wanqing? Who is this Wanqing? What is her connection with this case?" Duanmu Qingchen pointed to Wanqing who was kneeling in the main hall.

"Wanqing is the only survivor. Lian Youyou said flatly, "Although she was young back then, she remembered the death of the whole village, so she has been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge." ”

When Fu Mingrui heard Lian Youyou say that Wanqing was young, she knew that what Lian Youyou said in this court today was already mixed with water. If you don't say so, say that Wanqing was sixteen at the time, and why she doesn't look old is because there are worms in her body, do you want Wanqing to perform here too? Doesn't this frighten the people of the city?

The dust is about to settle, and there is no need to make any more extraneous branches. What the people want to hear may be the version that Lian Youyou is talking about now.

Simple, easy to understand, and sad and emotional, it makes everyone feel uneasy.

There are no ghosts, no demons are chaotic, everything is reasonable, and the doubts in the case are solved one by one by Lian Youyou, which makes sense. The people will no longer come to speculate.

Duanmu Qingchen nodded, and his eyes showed some pity for Wanqing.

Fu Kun secretly glanced at Duanmu Qingchen on the side, and his face was already dark. Fortunately, I only have a shallow relationship with him on weekdays, otherwise I would have been implicated by him this time.

"What about the evidence...... I have never done what you said! You have not heard the words of this demon girl without evidence?!" Ma Guanqun was confident in his heart, after ten years, the evidence was difficult to find, he looked at Duanmu Qingchen bitterly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please judge, they are all slandering their own officials!"

Duanmu Qingchen looked at Ma Guanqun with a calm face, and looked at Fu Mingrui with one hand and raised his eyebrows: "Hey, he said that you have no evidence, quickly take out the evidence and block his mouth." ”

Duanmu Qingchen laughed in his heart, this Ma Guanqun is really his own grain business, and he has eaten too much rice, so he is full of brains. His good brother Fu Mingrui was standing here, daring to say that he had no evidence? This was really the biggest joke he had heard in Duanmu Qingchen this year.

Fu Mingrui saluted Duanmu Qingchen, and looked back: "Bring Yu Aliang, the old account book of the Ma Family Grain Bank, and Zhou Youfa, the current Wuzhou governor, up!"

When he boarded, Ma Guanqun's face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground. Now, it's really over.

Witnesses, prisoners were brought one by one.

Zhou Youfa also had a haggard face, obviously he had been interrogated fiercely, and he had already spit out the truth.

And that old account book, who was an ordinary ordinary person, could not withstand torture?

After he learned that all the people of Lijia Village were dead, he had always been condemned by his conscience, so when the Ma family retired, he also moved some thoughts, stole the account book, and brought it back to his hometown.

Now that the human and physical evidence is complete, Ma Guanqun can no longer be distinguished!

"Smack!" Duanmu Qingchen slapped the shocked wood again, his face was majestic and solemn, "His Royal Highness was ordered by his father to come to the public trial, and he has the right to be sentenced directly, and he does not need to go through the criminal department again!

"Might---" on both sides of the catch, immediately build momentum.

Duanmu Qingchen stood up, took out the order with respect, and looked at everyone in the hall with a deep face: "Ma Guanqun colluded with the county order, embezzled disaster silver, distributed moldy rice, and caused the tragedy in Lijia Village, hundreds of lives, and it is difficult for the people to be angry when they cut you once! Since you proposed to sentence Wanqing girl Ling Chi just now, okay, Your Highness will satisfy you! Sentence you to Ling Chi! One hundred and forty-three knives, one knife is not much, and one knife is not a lot!"

The order was thrown out, and "Dangchang" landed, and the horse crown was so frightened that he didn't possess his body, he didn't take two breaths, his eyes rolled, and he fainted on the spot!

"Yes!" When he boarded, the two catchers stepped forward and dragged up the group of horses.

"Good—the prince has judged well———— has judged well—" The people outside the door applauded, and they gave a thumbs up and praised their prince.

Lian Youyou looked at Wanqing kneeling in the hall, revealing a rare soft smile. This smile entered Rin Tingjun's eyes, and he looked at her quietly, it turned out that this crazy goddess also had moments like a normal goddess.

"The crown prince spares his life—spares his life—" Zhou Youfa was already crying and couldn't cry, "spare your life...... Spare my life—I'm old and young, spare my life—"

"You are old and young, why don't you want to think that there are old and young people in Lijia Village when you swallowed the silver poison rice?!" Fu Mingrui has been holding back in his heart since he knew the truth. He has entered eight doors since he entered the eight doors, and he has tried many cases, but he has never encountered a big case like this with more than 100 dead. His hands were shaking as he read the dossier.

"I was wrong—I know I was wrong—" a dignified state official, crying in the lobby.

"Hmph. Duanmu Qingchen smiled coldly, and then drew a lot: "Zhou Youfa was in cahoots with Ma Guanqun back then, since you are blessed and shared, today, you will have difficulties together!

The order was thrown out again, and Zhou Youfa immediately collapsed, and his body was wet.

Ling Chi's punishment is a live chopping. Scrape alive, and you can't die when you scrape. A knife of three inches of flesh, scraping a person, three thousand six hundred knives. Duanmu Qingchen only let one hundred and forty-three knives be scraped, which is already considered a grace.
