Du He took Li Chengqian's warrant, and Wang Yi went out of Chang'an together, and went straight to Cangzhou.

The two hurriedly, and a few days later, they finally arrived in Cangzhou.

Cangzhou Thorn History Yamen.

Upon learning of the arrival of the Qincha Duhe, Xi Fan led the officials of the yamen to greet the Qincha at the door.

A group of heavily armed government soldiers surrounded the Assassin Mansion, and everyone was panicked! Only Xi Yan only frowned.

Thinking that he was also a veteran general who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he had never seen any scene, how could he panic because of this little battle.

"What a panic! Useless things, look at what you look like this! Xi Yan raised his eyebrows and reprimanded angrily.

The soldiers of the government made a move, and as soon as Du He and Wang walked in, Xi Wei recognized the envoy beside Du He at a glance.

Xi Bian never regretted accepting bribes, he has no hobbies, he is greedy for money, even if he is given another chance, he will not hesitate to accept the offerings of his subordinates.

He just regretted that he hadn't killed the envoy earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Xi Bian stepped forward and said, "Cangzhou Assassin Shi Xi Bian, I have seen angels. ”

"Xi Tingshi, this official came to Cangzhou on the order of the prince of the prison country, so what happened, I think you should know it in your heart. 35xs," Duhe said, looking at Xi Bi.

"I know it in my heart!" Xi Wei did not defend himself, and the fact that the envoy was able to come back with him means that he had handed over the evidence to the imperial court.

There is no need for Xi Wei to struggle meaninglessly, after all, it is useless for him not to admit it, it is better to simply do it.

"The order of the prince of the Tang Dynasty: Cangzhou assassin Shi Xi Bian, Changlu County ordered Li Taiban to accept bribes, disregard the law of the country, the crime is not punishable! He was escorted back to Beijing for trial. ”

Du He read out the prince's edict issued by Li Chengqian, and unfolded the edict to Cangzhou Assassin Xi Bi and Cangzhou officials to inspect.

Everyone saw that the decree was signed and drawn, and it was stamped with a double dragon talisman representing the prince of the prison state, confirming that this edict was correct.

The government soldiers stepped forward to take Xi Bian down and detain him, and a team of government soldiers rushed into the Assassin's Mansion to confiscate it, and took away everything related to Xi Bian's corruption.

On the same day, Du He escorted Cangzhou Thorn Shi Xifen and Changlu County to order Li Taiban and others to return to Chang'an.

Day and night, within a few days, they returned to Chang'an, the capital of Beijing.

Xi Bi and others, who were escorted to Beijing, were imprisoned in the Dali Temple, and Li Chengqian asked Di Renjie, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to try Xi Bi and the others.

Du He went to the East Palace to report to the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Although the evidence of Xi Wei and others' corruption crimes is conclusive, the legal procedures that should be followed still have to be followed, and they must be given a chance to present their cases. 35xs

The trial of such a case is simple and boring, so I don't waste time describing them one by one, passing them all in one go, and skipping the process directly.

"Lang Jun! Dali Temple Shaoqing Di Renjie asked to see him outside the hall! Wang Quan reported to Li Chengqian.

"Hmmm! This is Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! Invite him in. Li Chengqian said.

As soon as he was talking to Du He about Di Renjie, Di Renjie came.

"No!" Wang Quan retreated and called Di Renjie, who was outside the hall, in.

"Chen Di Renjie see the prince!" Di Renjie saluted Li Chengqian.

"Di Qing! The widow was about to mention you to Duhe, but he didn't think you were coming! How's Xi's case? Li Chengqian said.

"The evidence is conclusive, and Xi Wei has no regrets! Explain all the proceeds of his embezzlement over the years, this is Xi Wei's confession, as well as the accounts of the proceeds of corruption, and ask His Highness to look at it. Di Renjie said, handing over the confession to Li Chengqian.

"I didn't expect that Xi Wei would embezzle so much property in just a few years as a assassin, which is really outrageous." The more Li Chengqian looked at it, the more ugly his face became.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise, how much property would Xi Bian have embezzled, and how many people would have been treated unfairly because of Xi Fen's corruption and bribery.

Xi Wei is really hateful to such a corrupt official, how many people have been wronged because of their actions, and it is not enough for the people to be angry if they really don't kill.

"Your Highness! What should be done with Xi Zhi? Di Renjie asked.

"Since it has been confirmed that Xi Wei and others are corrupt and perverted the law, they will naturally be beheaded according to law." Li Chengqian said.

What else is there to say about this, it must be killed.

"Since this is the case, the minister will transfer the matter to the Criminal Department, wait for the Criminal Department to issue a document, and then behead him." Di Renjie said.

Although Dali Temple has the right to hear cases and detain prisoners, it does not have the right to directly impose the death penalty on prisoners.

Dali Temple must write a document and hand it over to the Criminal Department along with the results of the trial of the case, as well as a confession.

After being reviewed by the Criminal Department, the verdict agreeing to the execution of the prisoner can be approved, and finally it must be submitted to the three provincial departments for review, and finally submitted to the emperor for approval, especially if an official commits the death penalty, it must be reported to the emperor.

If there is no such sentence, no one has the right to carry out the death penalty on the prisoner, and there are many procedures to carry out the death sentence against Xi Wei.

"Then you will first submit this case to the Criminal Department, and as for this discussion, the widow decided to wait until the envoys from all over the country came to Chang'an, and then beheaded." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness means to let those envoys from all over the country also see the scene of the execution?" Duhe asked.

"That's right! The widow has this intention, there are too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in this world, and no one dares to guarantee that there will be no people like Xi Wei in these court envoys. ”

"The reason why we waited until the envoys of the Chaoji came to Chang'an to execute Xi Bi and others was so that these people could see the scene of Xi Bi's execution."

"Although it may not be possible to eliminate all corrupt officials, at least we can use the lives of Xi Bian and others to warn others that those who dare to corrupt and accept bribes, Xi Bian is their example."

"Although it cannot eradicate human greed, it can serve as a deterrent, so that they can throw a mouse and dare not blatantly embezzle and take bribes." Li Chengqian said.

His idea is very simple, that is, to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, and by killing the monkey, he will warn other local officials to respect themselves, so as not to end up like Xi Bian.

"The minister understands how to do it! Retire!" Di Renjie retreated, and immediately after returning home, he handed over the case of Xi Wei and others to the Criminal Department for review and so on.

After a series of procedures, the verdict with the three divisions written on it was put in front of Li Chengqian.

With Li Chengqian's reply, Xi was sentenced to death, and after all the envoys arrived, Li Chengqian called these people to the court and watched Xi Jie's execution.

In this way, they were warned not to fall into a person who did not even collect the body, like Xi Bian, and asked them to take warning.
