Chapter 58, Harvest the hearts of the people
The tall beasts outside the gate of the Wang family's mansion all roared, and then, dozens of black-robed men descended from the sky, all burly, tall and mighty, wearing long cloaks pressed very low, covering their faces. Carrying a goose feather knife on his waist, the breathtaking aura permeated the circle.
"The people of the Northern Imperial Division?" Xia Wuluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he noticed that these people all had the word "Yu" on their clothes, and in addition, the Yanling Sword was the standard weapon of the Northern Imperial Division.
However, these people only came to open the way, and there were bursts of iron horses rushing from a distance, rumbling, like thunder, until they were close to the gate of the Wang family's mansion.
With a sonorous sound of metal shaking, two slender figures walked through the door, one dressed in a splendid dragon robe, with a cold and silent face, and the other dressed casually.
In addition, there were also a number of soldiers and soldiers following behind them, looking around, there were more than fifty people, and the killing aura exuded by them was not inferior to that of the soldiers of their Jinyang Palace.
Obviously, they are all people who have been on the battlefield and killed from the pile of dead, and just by going to that station, the breath that naturally emits is enough to make people tremble.
"Who should I be, it turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, did you want to surround us with these people?" Xia Yunmeng chuckled and spoke after seeing the person who came.
"Why is this guy here? And brought so many people. I pinched my chin and muttered, a little surprised and confused by his sudden arrival.
The guy next to Li Hanyan was Mo Qi, he shook a folding fan in his hand, stepped forward with a smile, and said: "What is the Lord of Yunmeng talking about, you have not broken the law, and you have not offended, how can you intercept it?" It hurts your feelings to say that. ”
"Where did the relationship between you and me come from?" Xia Yunmeng rolled her eyes with some disdain, she couldn't see his posture of being a child, she brushed her flowing hair, and said again: "Since you are not here to surround us, then what are you doing here?" ”
Mo Ran didn't answer, but just took out a token from his waist, with the words "Northern Emperor" on the front and the four big characters "Gou Chen's Imperial Decree" on the back, and shook it in front of Xia Yunmeng and a few people, then cleared his throat and said: "I have heard about your affairs, and the five elders of Tianguan have other things to do, so I will come over on behalf of Gou Chen." ”
"Back then, my uncle's son and daughter-in-law were from your Northern Imperial Division, but they were killed inexplicably, what do you say?" Xia Wuluo spoke flatly, and during this time, his eyes swept towards Li Hanyan.
Mo Qi hung the token on his waist again and said: "In the case of that year, the cause of death given by the investigator was that he died under the random arrows, and it was indeed our dereliction of duty to not investigate and close the case hastily. ”
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, came to the middle-aged man who was confronting Xia Wuluo just now, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you and a few other people should have investigated the incident back then, right?" I think you know better than anyone else, you'd better say it in 1510, or you'll ......"
The middle-aged man fell to his knees all of a sudden, glanced at the two of the Wang family a few times, and said tremblingly: "The results of our investigation at that time are indeed ...... Die, die under the arrows. ”
"Random arrows, your uncle!" At this moment, I finally couldn't help but scold, things have come to this point, this person still wants to exonerate the two of the Wang family.
The old man was already grieved by the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, and it would be too unfair to him if he continued to let the murderer go unpunished and could not be brought to justice.
I took off the hat I was wearing on my head and handed it to Xiao Youming, and then walked out of the crowd, facing everyone's puzzled and puzzled eyes, and said:
"Back then, it was a few children of their Wang family, because of jealousy, they secretly gave the son and daughter-in-law of the old man Xia a poison called ghost bats, once they were ingested into the body, and then used the internal force, the toxin would quickly spread to the internal organs, killing people on the spot!"
"You talk nonsense! What the hell bats, I don't even know what you're talking about! The two Wang family yelled and screamed, still refusing to admit their guilt.
"Shut them up!" Li Hanyan gave an order to his subordinates with some unhappiness, and immediately someone rose into the air and came to the front of the two Wang families, holding their collars and making a big mouth.
"You either leave, or you come out with evidence, are you trying to bend into a trick?!" Some old people in the Wang family couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded them.
Li Hanyan asked them to stop, and turned his gaze to me, "Is there any evidence?" ”
I haven't seen him for a few days, and his gaze doesn't seem to be so cold and sharp, on the contrary, there is a little more gentleness, is this my delusion?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly patted my head, all at this juncture, how could I still think crankily, what did he just say? As if to ask me if I have any evidence?
"This ......," I was speechless for a moment. buried his head in some embarrassment, and when he asked the young master of the Wang family at that time, he didn't think about collecting evidence, so it was a little difficult to do without evidence......
When the Wang family saw that I was speechless for a while, they decided that I had no evidence, and someone snorted coldly: "There is no evidence, why do you say that the person was killed by our Wang family, you are framed." ”
"I didn't frame me, you killed the people!"
"Jokes, empty words and empty words to say that people were killed by us, isn't this a false accusation?"
After some arguments, it was just that he failed to convict them, and he held his breath for himself, looking at the faces of those people who "you have no evidence, what can you do to me", there was a surge of anger in my heart, and I couldn't wait to go up and beat them up to relieve the anger in my heart!
"Who said there was no evidence, didn't it come?" At that moment, Mo Dye spoke slowly, and at the same time reached out and pointed out the door.
Everyone looked out of the door, only to see three middle-aged men in dark coats, hurrying from a distance, judging from their appearance, the three were about forty or fifty years old, and one of them was carrying a black wooden box in his hand.
Entering the Wang family's mansion, the three of them bowed to Mo Qi and Li Hanyan, and then respectfully presented the black wooden box.
"Let me first introduce the two royal highnesses and the county lord, these three people are also one of the investigators of the case that year, they are Fuwang, Kaihe, and Gongwei."
Xia Wuluo raised his hand: "I just want to know who the murderer was as soon as possible." ”
"Gotcha." Mo Ran smiled and made a gesture of acceptance, and said: "Actually, what the crown princess said just now is not wrong, I won't repeat it too much, just show the evidence." ”
As he spoke, he opened the black wooden box, took out an envelope from it, shook it in his hand, cleared his throat, and read the words on the letter.
"Lord Kaihe, the little Wang Qing has bowed to you, thank you for the matter of Xia Yong and his wife, thank you for excusing our brothers, and the things promised before will definitely be sent to you in good condition...... Wang Qing thanked him. ”
Just a few dozen words, but like a needle prick, fell on the old man's heart, he closed his eyes tightly, and did not let the tears fall.
"Grandpa......" Xiao Youming hugged the old man's arm and murmured, her big eyes had already turned red, and bean-sized tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Now that this is the case, what else do you have to say?!" The ink-stained drink was like a thunder explosion in the ears of everyone in the Wang family, and when things progressed to this point, they were powerless to defend themselves, and they all sat on the ground like dead ashes.
During the whole process, the crowd of onlookers outside saw it, and they were all shocked and lamented at this time.
"Xia Lao's son and daughter-in-law were really killed by the Wang family?!"
"Have they done less evil in their daily lives? It's just a pity for Xia Lao, the old man has a son, but in the end he ended up with a white-haired person giving it to the fat man, alas......"
"These people have done all the evil things, and they can't die well."
"Yes, murder pays for life, and they must be punished severely! Xia Lao must be given justice! At this time, someone shouted, and everyone else shouted when they saw this, and they wanted to let the Wang family obey the law.
The momentum outside spread inside, and it also aroused the anger in everyone's hearts, and Xia Wuluo's tone became cold: "Now that the truth has been revealed, are these people going to be dealt with by your Northern Imperial Division or will we do it ourselves?" ”
"The source of the matter is our Northern Imperial Division, so naturally we have to clean up the portal ourselves."
Xia Yunmeng sneered and said, "Let you deal with it, who knows if you will release it again after you bring it back." ”
"The county lord is right, so what do you want?" Ink Ran asked with a smile.
"In front of us, we will kill when we should be killed, and we will be punished when we should be punished."
"Okay, just as you say." As he spoke, he looked at Li Hanyan again and said, "What do you think, prince?" Li Hanyan nodded, did not speak, and could be regarded as agreeing.
In this way, in the murder case of that year, several masterminds of the Wang family were undoubtedly capital crimes, and they were beheaded at the execution ground on the same day, while the others, because they did not report it because they knew about it, and they did absolutely evil things in the fish and meat village on weekdays, and they were either imprisoned or demoted to commoners. (In this life, I can only live by begging.) )
As for the middle-aged man who shielded the two members of the Wang family, although he was not beheaded, he had to be tied in front of the court of the Northern Imperial Division, and he suffered from knife punishment all day long. ) to warn other tribesmen.
And Fuwang, Kaihe, and compliments, although these three people provided evidence and pleaded guilty and surrendered, but the death penalty could be avoided, and the living crime could not be escaped.
At this point, the matter has finally come to an end, and the people in the market all clapped their hands and cheered, and they were oppressed by the Wang family for many years, and the resentment in their hearts was finally spit out.
At my suggestion, the Wang family's mansion was also rebuilt by the prince's mansion, used for public use, and took a "clean government", which is similar to the yamen, mainly to redress grievances for the people, and I, as the crown princess, inexplicably became the governor of this incorruptible government, and gained a lot of people's hearts for Li Hanyan.
