After everything was processed, Shangguan Beitang walked out of the Dongchuan Mansion, and as soon as he came out of the gate, he saw the people kneeling on the ground, the long street corridor, and there was no end in sight. This battle made Shangguan Beitang also surprised, and hurriedly asked Zheng Yi: "What's going on?" ”

"Back to the prince, the people are here to ask the prince to be the master and severely punish Qian Wanqing." Zheng Yi explained.

At this time, a man in the crowd limped forward and said: "The grass people implore the king of Beixuan to kill the dog thief Qian Wanqing, the land of the grass people was all occupied by the dog thief, and the family of five was also killed by him, and the grass people were left with their legs broken by him, and they could only beg for a living." ”

A woman cried again: "The sister of the folk girl was also snatched away by the dog thief, and he also killed the father of the folk girl, please ask the prince to be the master of the folk daughter!" ”

Everyone knelt down and shouted: "Please make the master for the grass people!" ”

Shangguan Beitang shouted: "Don't kneel, get up, this king will investigate this matter, everything that Qian Wanqing committed will be investigated by this king himself, if everything is true, this king will make the decision for you." ”

Shangguan Beitang was sleepless all night, he sat in front of the case and read the evidence of Qian Wanqing's crimes, and all the sins were unforgivable. But, over there in the capital...

Shangguan Beitang, Shangguan Beitang, as the king of Dajiang Beixuan, you are still hesitant to deal with a corrupt official and corrupt official, can you be worthy of these tens of millions of people? Are you worthy of your father's trust?

Finally he made up his mind and made a decision.

The next day, the streets were crowded with people, and when the prisoner van escorting Qian Wanqing and Li Si passed by, people showed extreme resentment. The crowd cursed and smashed rotten rotten leaves and rotten eggs at the prisoner car. Follow the escort team all the way to the execution site. They want to see this dog officer who has exploited them for more than ten years punished.

The noon sun was dazzling, and Shangguan Beitang sat on the prison platform in an official robe, watching the perpetrators being escorted to the execution platform.

At this time, Qian Wanqing was decadent and crazy, and after he saw Shangguan Beitang, he scolded angrily: "Shangguan Beitang, you dare to kill me? If you take my life, you will not have peace from now on. ”

"Lord Xie Qian thinks about this king, if someone really comes to trouble this king in the future, what is there to fear when this king is sitting upright." Shangguan Beitang said.

"Lord Wang, it's three o'clock in the afternoon." Zheng Yi quietly reminded him in his ear.

The King of the North Swirl nodded and said, "Please sword." An Hai stood on the prison platform with Shang Fang's sword in both hands. Shangguan Beitang said: "This king inspected Dongchuan by the order of the Holy Lord. Today, it is confirmed that Qian Wanqing, the prefect of Dongchuan, murdered for money, abused private power, looted the people's fat and ointment, and slaughtered the people. The piles and piles are undoubtedly true, and the evidence is ironclad. Today, I specially invite the right of Shang Fang's sword line to cut first and then play. Li Si, the general who defended the city, abused his power, sought money and killed him, and was guilty of the same crime as Qian Wanqing,。。。 ”

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and the execution will be carried out immediately." He recounted the sins of several of the leaders involved in the case, and then issued the beheading order.

The executioners on the torture table first took a sip of wine, then sprayed the wine on the chopping knife, and then shook the knife, and the heads of the people involved in the case fell to the ground when the knife fell in their hands, and they all died.

The people who watched the execution saw that the dog officials who had exploited them for many years were punished, and they knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Shangguan Beitang looked at the crowd in the audience and said: "Folks, this king came to Dongchuan, in addition to thoroughly investigating the case of Qian Wanqing, there is also one thing, that is, to suppress bandits. Since the good people and the common people went up to the mountains to become bandits, it was the result of corrupt officials, and this king hereby declared:

Within ten days, no matter what the bandits have done, if they can abandon evil and turn from good, and return to their hometowns for the people, the king will not be held accountable. If you do not listen to the dissuasion, and still do not come to your senses, as soon as the ten-day period has passed, the king will be blamed for dealing with it according to law, and he will not be merciful. ”

After two or three days, Shangguan Beitang and Zheng Yi were busy checking the affairs of the prison in Dongchuan Mansion. They faced the file and discussed what to do with it.

Wu Tong came in and saw that the prince was busy, so he said to An Hai: "Is the prince almost done?" ”

An Hai said: "No, it's been a morning, and I haven't drunk a sip of water." "There is a Huangping County Order outside, saying that he wants to meet the prince." Wu Tong said again.

"Push it away, a sesame petty official also wants to see the prince. The prince is so busy, how can he have the time to see him. An Hai whispered to Wu Tong, he saw that the prince was so busy, and it was also very unpleasant.

"Huangping County Order? Why is it so familiar? Shangguan Beitang said suddenly. Lord Wang, if it's gone, it's been a busy morning, why don't you eat something first? An Hai persuaded.

"Just tell the kitchen to cook some porridge for this king, and call that Huangping county commander to come in!" Shangguan Beitang glared at him. An Hai knew that he was wrong, so he stopped talking and did what the prince instructed.

After a while, An Hai brought in a person, and when he saw Shangguan Beitang fall to the ground, he bowed: "Xiaguan Huangping County ordered Zhu Lun to see the prince, and the prince is a thousand years old." "Get up!"

Zhu Lun thanked him and got up, and then said to Zheng Yizuo, "Lord Prefect." Zheng Yi was lukewarm: "Hmm." With a sigh, he turned to do something else.

"Is there something wrong with Zhu County's order to ask to see this king?" Shangguan Beitang shook his long sleeves and sat on the chair. "If you go back to the prince, the lower officials are here to offer treasures." Zhu Lun smiled and stepped forward.

"Oh? What treasures does Zhu County Order want to present to this king? He was surprised by Zhu Lun's intention. At such a difficult time in several counties in Dongchuan, there are still people who come to offer treasures to him.

"Someone, bring it up." Julen shouted out the door. A servant came forward with a box. Zhu Lun opened the box and said, "Lord Wang, please take a look." ”

Shangguan Beitang got up and looked, and inside the box was a piece of jade with a verdant body. Looking at the piece of jasper in front of him and then at this Zhu County Order, he seemed to think of something. Then he asked: "Zhu County Order, where did you get such a priceless treasure jade?" ”

Zheng Yi passed by and glanced at the jasper, and a sneer came out of his nose: "Hmph! ”

Zhu Lun ignored him, thinking that he was about to lean against the big tree: "If you go back to the prince, this piece of jasper has been passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of my Zhu family." ”

"If it is an ancestral heirloom, why should it be given to this king?" Shangguan Beitang picked up the jasper and said as he played with it. He thought to himself: No wonder this king always feels that he has missed something in the past few days, it turns out to be you! Heh, Zhu Xianling, are you a fool? Offering treasure is also to divide people and time. Since you sent it to the door yourself, then don't blame the king for being polite.

Zhu Lun patted the horse again and said: "The prince seeks benefits for the people, just like the blue sky, this jade is verdant all over, and it is very compatible with the prince." Shangguan Beitang laughed and nodded to express satisfaction: "Oh? Lord Zhu has a heart. ”

"Yes, if the prince likes it." Zhu Lun continued to slap his beard. He thought in his heart that since Shangguan Beitang had even killed Qian Wanqing, he would do something to him one day, so it was better to sacrifice this treasure jade as soon as possible to save his life. If you really win the favor of Shangguan Beitang, maybe you can be promoted and make a fortune!

But his wishful thinking was wrong. How did he know that Shangguan Beitang had been so busy recently that he couldn't take care of him at all. If he doesn't come, maybe he'll live a few more days. This time, it has accelerated the speed of going to see Lord Yama. Hey, I can only blame him for his bad luck.

"Really? How did this king hear that you had taken this jade from someone else? Still not from the truth? Shangguan Beitang's face suddenly changed and he asked sharply.

"Lord Wang, don't have to hear about it, this is indeed a treasure of my Zhu family!" Zhu Lun still had a hint of luck.

"Hmph, you said that this is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by your Zhu family, so is there a mark on it?" Shangguan Beitang asked again.

"There is no mark." Zhu Lun hesitated for a moment before replying. "And what do you think this is?" Shangguan Beitang dragged him to the light, pointed to the inner wall of Jasper and said.

Zhu Lun took a closer look, and then saw that there was a small "yellow" character engraved on the inner wall. He panicked. Unexpectedly, there was a mark in the object he held in his hand every day, and he didn't even know it.

How could he understand that Shangguan Beitang had grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he had never seen any rare objects. When playing with this treasure jade just now, Shangguan Beitang suddenly touched the inner wall and put his hand down slightly, and he thought a little puzzled: "It shouldn't be, it stands to reason that such a good jade must have been carefully polished, how can you put it down?" Unless it's a mark left by someone. So he took it out into the sun and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw a "yellow" character.

This piece of jade is really polished by a skilled craftsman, and even a mark is so hidden that if you don't look closely, you may never find it.

Shangguan Beitang threw Zhu Lun away and said coldly: "You still haven't recruited from the truth?" Zhu Lun panicked at this time, and hurriedly kowtowed to admit his mistake: "The lower official knows that he is wrong, the lower official is guilty, and the lower official will die." ”

Zhu Lun's confession was roughly the same as what Shangguan Beitang had heard before. So Shangguan Beitang put him in prison and handed him over to his top boss Zheng Yi for disposal.

It is said that the time limit for Shangguan Beitang to abandon evil and follow good within ten days is approaching. But people still haven't seen the yellow-haired king go down the mountain for the people.

Of course, all this can't escape Shangguan Beitang's eyes. He thought to himself: If this yellow-haired king does not come down the mountain, sooner or later the bandits will rise again. Only when he goes down the mountain, the bandits have no backbone, and they will be the people with peace of mind.

But this is the last day, is he planning to fight the imperial court to the end? If this is the case, then he Shangguan Beitang will definitely send troops to suppress the bandits. Sending troops means bloodshed, and it is inevitable that innocent people will be injured, which is not a good strategy.

But how can you surrender without a fight? Shangguan Beitang pondered. Suddenly, he saw a box in front of the desk. Ever since he had disposed of Julen that day, he had really forgotten about the box.

Since this is the Huang family's thing, then return it to the Huang family! "Someone's coming." Shangguan Beitang called. An Hai came in and said, "Lord Wang." "You go and send this thing to Donggang Mountain, and personally hand it over to the Yellow Sea."

"Lord Wang, Huang Hai is a bandit, what if he doesn't appreciate it!" An Hai asked with some concern. "Huang Hai is also a person who has read books, this is his Huang family's thing, even if he doesn't appreciate it, he won't embarrass you if he thinks about it." Shangguan Beitang thought about it and said.

"Well, I thought it was a good idea." Hu Shang walked in and said, "In this way, we can not only return to Zhao completely, but also try to see if he Huanghai really wants to rebel, so we can also make countermeasures in advance." ”
