The two black-clothed guards heard the noise and rushed into the living room, where they saw Xia Xue taking a closer look at the remaining game. Shao Wen had fallen to the ground and did not move. A black-clothed guard stepped forward to feel his pulse, but it was gone. has long been angry and the dantian has been broken, and the soul has returned to the underworld.

"Your Majesty, how did he die?"

Xia Xue said lightly: "Shao County Wei's heart disease suddenly attacked, it's a pity!" Don't worry about it here for the time being, let's go to the county government immediately, it is estimated that a lot of people in Qingyuan have gathered. ”

At noon, the people of Qingyuan County went to the county government one after another, and when the promotion hall was approaching, the front of the yamen was already crowded. One is that the yamen has not been opened in the past few years, and the people want to come and see it fresh; Second, Lei Zhentian has done all kinds of evil in Qingyuan County over the years, making people angry and resentful, and now he hears that this tyrant has become a prisoner under the ranks, and everyone wants to come to see what is going on, so as to eliminate the hatred in their hearts!

There were also Zhou Cheng and his youngest daughter Zhou Mei who were forced by Lei Zhentian to be robbers in the crowd, and later his eldest daughter Zhou Ju was also rescued from Meixian Le Yuan, but unfortunately his son Zhou Kui was beaten to death a few days ago for angering Lei Zhentian.

The three-way drum sounded, the doorman opened the yamen early, and the crowd poured into the lobby. In a moment, the corridor was crowded with people.

Twelve court servants held leather whips and fire sticks, like wolves and tigers, before the public case. I saw that at the back of the court, Xia Xue was wearing a green brocade official robe of Yunlong going to sea, swaying into the public hall, Xu Bugao platform, sitting firmly behind the public case, Ouyang Yong, Ouyang Qian, Dugu Jun, and Pan Jiang stood on both sides, and the main book and other people stood on the side of the public case covered with a new scarlet silk cloth.

Xia Xue shouted "ascend to the hall", and suddenly the lobby was silent.

Xia Xue pulled out a fire stick in the lottery holder and threw it down, and ordered the head of the hall to go to the prison to extract the criminal. Ouyang Yong took the sign on the slate and led Pan Jiang to pick up people. Suddenly, the criminal mentioned that it was none other than the bully Lei Zhentian.

Lei Zhentian knelt on his knees in front of the high platform, his hair was scattered, his face was covered with blood, and he was covered in mud, he had long lost the arrogance of the number one bully in Qingyuan County, Lei Zhentian trembled, lowered his head and did not dare to look ahead.

The people of Qingyuan County, who were watching the trial, saw that the unstoppable characters who had been riding on their heads for many years also had today, and they couldn't make a noise.

Xia Xue shouted the verdict in the face of the people of Qingyuan County: "Lei Zhen Tianmu is lawless, lawless, attacking the officials of the imperial court, deliberately rebelling, mutilating the people, robbing the people's daughters, bribing officials, bullying civilians, extortion, stealing, perverting the law for bribes, expropriating and expropriating, non-criminal Li Shu, misconduct, pile and pile, all are real, the crimes committed are unspeakable, and the crimes are unforgivable."

Today, this official announced the verdict: behead and confiscate all his property!

Come on, escort Lei Zhentian to the execution ground immediately and behead the public! ”

When the people of Qingyuan County heard the verdict, they were thunderous.

Next, the corrupt official Feng Qi was sentenced, dismissed from his post as county magistrate, confiscated all his property, and sentenced to permanent hard labor in the mine.

Xia Xue hated corrupt officials such as corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the angel country was like Xia Xue's child, it was the sustenance of her ideals and mission, and it was raised and grown by her single-handedly, almost her life. And these corrupt officials are like parasites, cancer cells, viruses and germs on the child's body, eroding and endangering the child's life and health all the time, I didn't say that Xia Xue hated these corrupt officials so much.

It's really not like the queen doesn't know the mood of being an emperor, and she finally understands why many promising emperors in ancient times hated corrupt officials so much, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who would impose a very cruel capital punishment on corrupt officials. Zhu Yuanzhang has suffered a lot since he was a child and knows the suffering of the people. Therefore, he hated corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Therefore, after he founded the Ming Dynasty, he took very severe measures to crack down on corrupt officials, no matter how high the official is, no matter how great the original credit, as long as he dares to embezzle 60 taels of silver, he will be killed. In order to increase the intensity of deterrence, Zhu Yuanzhang set up an appalling policy called peeling the skin and grass. First, the skin of the corrupt official is peeled off, the peeled skin is filled with straw, loaded with lime, and then placed next to the official chair, and the successor sits next to the fur to work, which is to warn the later officials not to repeat the mistakes of the past, if they dare to be greedy, they will be stripped of the skin. This shocking move has indeed deterred a group of officials and made their behavior much more restrained.

For Lei Zhentian's family, they were all sentenced to serve hard labor in various state-run mines, farms, ranches and other places, Xia Xue would definitely not use the precious tax money of the common people to support a group of criminals in vain like later generations, they must work unpaid during the prison period until the end of the sentence. Xia Xue doesn't care about any hypocritical people. Right. Something, she's a practical person.

The bully Lei Zhentian in Qingyuan County for many years was shown to the public, and the people who had been oppressed for many years raised their eyebrows and rejoiced, and the entire county set off firecrackers and fireworks, which was more lively than the Spring Festival.

After the public judgment, in order to show the prestige of the imperial court, Xia Xue also held a large parade in Qingyuan County. Xia Xue wore a brand-new official robe and jade belt, swayed out of the inner office, and came to the courtyard. Riding on a horse, out of the county office, with its own head gong guard of honor, the black-clothed guard guards and inspectors hugged the front and back, and the line marched in the streets of Qingyuan County. Everywhere the guard of honor went, the people cheered and smiled, it was really an empty alley, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

Ouyang Qian rode a horse to Xia Xue's right, and when she saw this scene, she turned her head and said to Xia Xuexi: "Your Majesty, do you remember when we first came to Qingyuan County?" At that time, the streets were deserted and lifeless, and there were no smiles on the faces of the masses, but now there are laughter and jubilation everywhere, which is really incomparable! ”

Xia Xue smiled happily.

……

Xia Xue newly appointed the Qing official Wang Qiu to come to Qingyuan County as the county commander, and secretly ordered Dugu Jun to investigate the remnants of the Niutou Gang, and assisted the new county commander Wang Qiu to maintain law and order in Qingyuan County. Dugu Jun fulfilled his mission, and in a short period of time, through various channels, all the remnants of the Niutou Gang were eradicated, and the captured members of the Niutou Gang were also sent to state-owned mines in various parts of the Angel Country to serve hard labor.

The new county commander Wang Qiu also lived up to expectations, and governed Qingyuan County in an orderly manner and with social stability. The Han, Yao, and Zhuang ethnic groups live in harmony, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
