Fang Yuan raised his hand to clean up Chen Hongmi, the prefect of Suzhou, and then said to the two people who were escorted up before, "The common people are just asking for a wife and children to live a safe and stable life." In the future, you two must remember not to be brave again, but to be the knife of others to kill, go down! ”

The two of them were relieved, Chong Fangyuan thanked him again and again, and fled in disgrace.

When the people saw that he did not punish him indiscriminately, but let go of the two who had begun to coax, they boldly asked, "Lord Governor, you say it, that is to say, it is natural for court officials and eagle dogs to bully our people, and the slightest resistance of our people is a capital crime!" ”

"That's a good question!"

Fang Yuan shouted loudly, shaking everyone's eardrums, and then said in a deep voice, "Here in our Yuan, whether it is officials, gentry, rich businessmen, or ordinary people, all of them are treated equally, and the great gift I brought to the people is not only fair, fair, or fair!" ”

"How do you give fairness? Give it with your mouth?! ”

"The officials are all like birds, saying some high-sounding words on their faces, and going to drill the waistband of the Qinglou woman's pants behind their backs!"

"Hahahaha! Liu Erlang, well said! ”

All the people laughed in unison.

Qin Zhan wanted to arrest the coaxing Liu Erlang again, but was stopped by Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan clapped his hands and ordered Jing Jie's sergeant to bring up a four-section stainless steel delivery mailbox.

This delivery mailbox was just bought by Fang Yuan from the Taobao system and then delivered by expedited express. There are four sections, each 5 meters long and 2 meters high, which can be used to deliver letters. On the mailbox of the four sections, there are four place names written "Yangzhou Mansion", "Suzhou Mansion", "Changzhou Mansion" and "Songjiang Mansion".

The people didn't know what this slick tin thing was, Fang Yuan patted the mailbox, made a crisp sound, and said slowly, "This, this is the fairness I gave you!" ”

He pointed to the mailbox and explained, "This is the mailbox for letters and visits, and the people of the four prefectures have any unjust, false, or wrongful cases from the government; or the government violates laws and disciplines, apportionments, and indiscriminate collection of land taxes, commercial taxes, and municipal taxes; or the gentry, the rich businessmen, the powerful and the powerful, bullying men and women, bullying the market, and forcing the good to become prostitutes; or labor disputes, where the employer does not pay wages for various reasons, etc., can be sent to this mailbox in the form of letters. ”

"We promised you that I would arrange 500 Jinyiwei full-time to check the complaints, reports, and whistleblowers in the mailbox, but anyone who reports with real names will come to investigate the truth within five days in this house, make decisions for you, and return you fair!"

He announced this petition system, and the onlookers looked at each other and were suspicious, especially the real-name report, which made the people still feel uneasy.

"Lord Governor, why do you want to report with your real name?"

"If you don't have your real name, how is it different from false accusation? You don't even dare to keep your real name, how can Jinyiwei call the shots for you? ”

"If you report with your real name, will you be retaliated against afterwards?!"

"We promised you once again that the Jinyi Guard will strictly enforce the confidentiality system and will never disclose the personal privacy of whistleblowers. Moreover, under our original rule, whoever dared to retaliate against the people afterwards, whether it was an official, a gentry, a wealthy businessman, or a powerful man, was punished as a serious crime, and the sentence was confiscated into the army, which was serious in nature and had a bad impact, and could be sentenced to death. ”

"What if Jinyiwei is also in league with the bully?"

"As a law enforcer, if Jin Yiwei colludes with local tyrants and bullies, the crime will be increased by three degrees, and the sentence will be confiscated as a slave, and the sentence can be up to death, Ling Chi."

Fang Yuan explained the people's doubts one by one, and then ordered Qin Zhan, who was in charge of Jinyiwei and was responsible for the implementation of the petition system, to stand up.

Qin Zhan cleared his throat and said, "I am Qin Zhan, the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei, and I manage the affairs of Jinyiwei on behalf of the Governor. If there is any black sheep in Jinyi Wei who is not strict in law enforcement and unfair law enforcement, you can come directly to me Qin Zhan, find one, investigate and deal with one, and never show favoritism! No cover-up! ”

"Good!"

The crowd of onlookers erupted in sparse cheers, most of whom remained cautious about the newcomers and their bad reputation.

Fang Yuan's goal today has been half achieved, at least the public announcement of the petition system, although most of the people still have a wait-and-see attitude, but the resistance has definitely dissipated a lot compared to before.

His basic plate is the army and the people, as long as he can tightly hold the heart of the army and the people, those decadent gentry, rich businessmen, and powerful people will never be able to make any big waves.

Fang Yuan obliquely looked at Chen Hongmi, who was like a defeated rooster on the side, and was about to command Qin Zhan, Jing Jie and the others to leave without saying a word.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and a cold arrow in the crowd shot straight at Fang Yuan, who was speaking, and hit him in the chest.

The strange change was abrupt, Qin Zhan and Jing Jie were busy stepping forward to support Fang Yuan, who was hit by the arrow, and the Jinyi guard immediately took action, forming a circle to protect the three of them.

Chigutai was already armed with a saber, pushed aside the panicked people, and rushed directly at the two assassins who were mixed in the crowd and cast cold arrows.

The two assassins, who were also outlaws, saw Chigutai chasing after him, and couldn't dodge, so they slashed at Chigutai head-on with their long knives in their backhands.

Chigutai grabbed a person's wrist and twisted it hard, the long knife in the man's hand fell to the ground, and Chigutai broke his arm alive, and then slammed it on the ground.

Chigutai didn't answer, and stepped heavily on the man's chest, and the man only felt that a 10,000-pound boulder was pressed down, and he howled miserably, and he fainted to death in pain.

The rest of the people saw that the situation was not good, and was about to flee, but Chigutai stepped forward quickly, with a tiger claw, and just lifted the collar like this, and was captured alive like a chicken.

"Click"

The sound of broken bones sounded, and the arm of the remaining person was broken, and the screams rang out again.

Chigutai held one person in one hand, grabbed it directly on the wooden platform, and threw it in front of Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan had already worn a full set of explosion-proof equipment in the brocade clothes, and it was impossible for a mere bow and arrow to cause him any harm at all. He drew the arrow that hit the chest guard and threw it on the ground.

Fang Yuan said coldly, "Wake that person up, I will interrogate the two of them in public!" ”

Chigutai asked people to take a basin of cold water, and poured it on the head of the fainting man, and the man woke up leisurely.

Fang Yuan stood up and said to the two of them, "Who instructed you to be assassins?" ”

The two assassins were obviously outlaws, very stubborn, and they didn't even look at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan asked again, "You're not afraid of death?" ”

An assassin snorted fiercely, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said sharply, "If you dare to assassinate your butcher, I won't be afraid of death, I will kill quickly!" ”

It seemed that this person was stubble, Fang Yuan looked at the other silent assassin and asked, "You're not afraid of death?" ”

The man just buried his head and didn't say a word, but Fang Yuan could see that his body was trembling slightly, his body had betrayed his horror.

Fang Yuan had already found a breakthrough, and he glanced at Chigutai to wipe his neck at the order, and Chigutai immediately understood and nodded heavily.

Fang Yuan grinned and walked up to the assassin who didn't dare to raise his head to speak, and asked in a low voice, "You are really not afraid of death, and you won't do anything?!" ”

The man swallowed, not daring to make a sound.

Fang Yuan asked softly again, "I am the governor of the current emperor with the sword of Shang Fang, assassinating me is assassinating the emperor, do you know what the crime of assassinating the emperor is?" ”

The assassin trembled with fright, secretly glanced at Fang Yuan, met Fang Yuan's electric gaze, and buried his head again, not daring to answer.

The other assassin was much more stubborn, scolding himself, "I'm afraid of you bird, you have a kind of ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Chigutai behind him raised his knife and directly cut off his head, and his head rolled in front of the trembling assassin.

"Ahh

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd of onlookers, and the timid ones didn't dare to look anymore.

Fang Yuan stood up and announced in public, "Assassinating the minister of the Qin Mission, it is like assassinating the emperor, in terms of the Great Ming Law, this assassin should have been executed by Ling Chi and exterminated the Nine Clans." However, the governor absolved him of the crime of Ling Chi, and executed him only with his head; He was also exempted from the crime of exterminating the nine clans, and the crime was only his own family, and the whole male of this family was fined and confiscated from the military and enslaved for life, and the female dependents were punished and confiscated from the military as a camp prostitute. ”

He lightly sentenced the beheaded assassin in public, and his entire family was confiscated from the military and made him a slave and prostitute, which completely shocked the audience.

Fang Yuan squatted down and looked at the assassin who was already scared of and urine, and said with a smile, "It seems that you have no relatives and no reason, and you are not afraid of death, right!" ”

He even threatened and threatened, even executed the assassin, and even punished the assassin's entire family as a lesson from the past, and all the other assassin's defense lines had completely collapsed, so frightened that he kowtowed to Fang Yuan again and again, "Lord Governor, spare your life!" He shot that arrow, and I just arranged it to make up the numbers! ”

Fang Yuan shouted, "Who ordered you to come?!" ”

The assassin collapsed to the ground in fright, and said repeatedly, "I, I, am a student of the Qian Sect, and Qian Qianyi sent me to supervise the assassin's assassination." ”

Qin Zhan said sharply, "It's Qian Qianyi again, this old chopper, he's tired and crooked!" ”

Fang Yuan ordered Jinyiwei to take this Qianmen student down, write a confession in black and white, and then draw a confession.

This is the ironclad evidence that he came to Qian Qianyi to ask for his guilt.

But before cleaning up Qian Qianyi, Fang Yuan still had one urgent thing to do, which was to thoroughly find out the amount of land arrears owed by all the gentry and wealthy merchants in Suzhou Mansion over the years, and then send Jinyi guards to collect the debts one by one.

These gentry and wealthy merchants, everything is in arrears, and the land endowments passed on to the people must be spit out to me!
