"Smack!!"

Shocked Tangmu slapped the case forward, tried the case for a whole afternoon, and now finally had a conclusion.

The case has twists and turns, in this afternoon, through Zhang Yuyan's interrogation and the defense between the good lawyer of Haijian, there is gradually a clear fact in the hearts of the people, but because of limited knowledge, perhaps many people are not very clear about the reason for such a fanfare trial in Bengang County, and even alarmed the great benefactor Li Tianyang, which is in everyone's usual opinion, there is no need to make such a big move.

When Li Tianyang appeared in court on behalf of the Bengang government and Hongmen, saying that he would not be held accountable for what Jian Gong had committed, the people also really witnessed the big leader who had been living in rumors.

"The verdict is as follows: It is true that the prisoner Jian Gong embezzled Hongmen's property, which caused great impact and damage to Hongmen's interests, but considering that the other party admitted his guilt sincerely and was willing to take the initiative to make up for his mistakes, Jian Gong was given three years in prison as an example!"

"Another prisoner, Pu Zhi, Gao Xianglin and other prisoners, bribed the high-level Hongmen officials for their own selfishness, opened the door for their economic exchanges, and the businesses to which they belonged made countless profits, and gave Pu Zhi, Gao Xianglin and others one year in prison, and confiscated 50,000 silver from their firms to compensate for the losses of Hongmen."

"The judgment is made by Bengang County, if there is any disagreement, you can report it to refute!"

After the words fell, Jian Gong, Pu Zhi and others were also overjoyed, especially Jian Gong, who thought that he was dead this time, but he didn't expect this drama to make such a big fuss, but in the end, it was thunder and rain, and he just let himself stay in prison for three years and didn't want his own life.

The representatives of the rest of the firms were more concerned about the attitude towards them after the Hongmen, if they had a bad impression in the Hongmen because of their firm's bribery of Jian Gong, and then affected their trade at sea, then the loss would be not small for these merchants who made a living from the sea.

And the punishment of 50,000 taels of silver is a drop in the bucket for these businesses, and it is not worth cherishing; As for the delegates who were imprisoned for a year because of their names, the proprietors of these firms would not be too sorry.

Others are watching the excitement, and the people may be more puzzled and confused in their hearts, but for many far-sighted people inside and outside the Hongmen system, the play of Hongmen Li Tianyang has given everyone a full spiritual impact.

Chinese culture has always been about human affection, and there are unwritten rules such as not fighting with officials for the people, but what Hongmen shows everyone now is a trial that is very different from Chinese culture.

Li Tianyang's open-mindedness and fairness, in ordinary exchanges and the development of Hongmen, everyone has already seen something; However, the attitude he showed today still shocked the leaders of all the surrounding forces who were concerned about this case.

No one has ever abused the power in his hands to seek personal gain for himself or his relatives after he has mastered absolute power, and has not abused the power in his hands to seek personal gain for his own relatives.

Even for the sake of Jian Gong's affairs, Li Tianyang personally came forward and answered the question of the county order in person on the trial table, even if the county order was just a subordinate under Li Tianyang, Li Tianyang could not act like this at all.

Not to mention, the well-informed surrounding forces, who don't know that Jian Gong took out the one million taels of acceptance bills to make up for the loss of Hongmen, most of which were extracted from Li Tianyang's own home, not as the people guessed, Li Tianyang just handed over the property from his left hand to his right hand.

Li Tianyang has not actually gained much benefit from Hongmen over the years, although everyone knows that Hongmen was built by Li Tianyang, and the Qixintang under his command is already a behemoth in the South Seas.

However, Li Tianyang's family's heavy talk of silver, but there has never been much, after the reform of Qixintang Li Tianyang occupies a little bit of shares, every year Li Tianyang can get a certain amount of shares from it, this is the largest income of Li Tianyang's family.

However, more of Qixintang's share has long been transferred to Hongmen by Li Tianyang, as an economic source to support Hongmen, a behemoth.

The rest should be the salaries of Li Tianyang and his daughter-in-law Chen Yumo, and together the two of them may have an annual income of more than 15,000 taels.

Now Li Tianyang and his family have taken out seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver at once to make up for the losses caused by his brother-in-law Jian Gong, which has almost emptied all of Li Tianyang's family property over the years.

Seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver may be placed in other people's families, although it is an unimaginable huge wealth, but in a big business and gentry family like Jirentang and Defuxuan, although it is huge, it is still not as rich as the family industry of them, let alone the wealth of a team leader like Hongmen.

In history, Cao Cao once set foot on the farmland and then cut himself off to show his fairness and wisdom, but there has never been a team leader who would put himself in the middle of a trial with his subordinates, let him ask questions and speak, and then make his own decisions regardless of the leader's opinion, and the leader has no disagreement.

Li Tianyang's play seems to be just a show, and it is just a little more talk for the people, and maybe some people will admire Li Tianyang's atmosphere; However, for other big forces, this is to tell everyone very clearly that everything that happened here on Dayuan Island is very different from the Ming Dynasty across the sea.

Among them, the most affected and the most shocking belong to those Confucian people who came to Dayuan Island to collect wind and understand why Dayuan Island can allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

The children of Confucianism have been fighting against the imperial power since ancient times, and they urgently need the existence of a divine imperial power that can unite the expectations of the public, but at the same time, they are also tirelessly trying to keep this monster of imperial power established by them firmly locked in a cage by themselves, without revealing his hideous minions.

In the past, some people have done it, and at the same time, many more people have failed, but now, there is no successful case that can last for decades, or even centuries.

But here, the Confucian disciples saw a glimmer of hope, and one was willing to take the initiative to put on the shackles and let the power be limited to the shackles forged by the rules and regulations.

Maybe what this strange man is doing is still very immature, and his methods are a lot rougher, but at least he is trying to make changes, which is the most gratifying thing for Confucian disciples.

Others will never know how much impact and far-reaching changes will be brought about by the trial ruling made by the Bengang County Order on the afternoon of the eighteenth day of the twelfth month of Chongzhen.
