Today's third watch, asking for votes, asking for fans

~~~~~~~

Outside the gate of the county government, there was a sea of people, all of whom were the people of Chongming County who came to hear the trial, they hated the burning of grain by breaking the embankment, and wanted to see Xiao Yang brought to justice with their own eyes.

In the lobby, the mirror hangs high, and a cadre of officials stands on both sides with a killing stick.

Li Weiguo was promoted to the court for the first time since he was appointed as the county magistrate of Chongming, and it was Xiao Yang who was tried.

He was shocked and shouted: "Bold Xiao Yang, as the head of the county government, you know the law and break the law, you instructed your subordinates to dig a dam to flood Chongming County, causing tens of thousands of deaths and more than 100,000 people being homeless, and instructed your subordinates to burn down the county government granary, causing 200,000 stone of grain to be burned, and then you instigated the people to attack the county government and sent someone to assassinate Wu Yong, the household warden, are you guilty?" ”

This is a heinous crime, and once convicted, it will be the end of killing the head and robbing the family.

It can be seen that Li Weiguo is bent on killing Xiao Yang and not giving him a chance to turn over.

But Xiao Yang is also an old fritter in officialdom, so naturally he will not admit his guilt lightly, and denyed: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add!" ”

Li Weiguo then ordered someone to take Xiao San'er to the court and confronted Xiao Yang on the spot.

When Xiao Yang heard that Xiao San'er was arrested, his heart couldn't help but burst, but his expression was calm, thinking that his nephew would never confess.

However, when Xiao Yang saw "Xiao San'er", he was suddenly startled, who is this? Or is it still your own nephew? Why did he have a blue nose and swollen face, and he was beaten so much that he couldn't even recognize his mother.

"Do adults abuse their private deeds and want to beat people into tricks?" Xiao Yang was the first to say, wanting to bite back.

Without Li Weiguo answering, Zhang Xiaoliu beside him said for him: "This is caused by this person's resistance to arrest, not an abuse of private behavior." ”

Xiao Yang snorted coldly, didn't believe it at all, and said to Xiao San'er: "San'er don't be afraid, as long as you don't talk nonsense, your uncle will get justice for you!" ”

"Bold Xiao Yang! In front of the people of this county and the county, he even dared to threaten and confuse witnesses! Li Weiguo was furious, and immediately showed a mysterious sneer, and said: "But Xiao San'er has confessed truthfully, signed and detained, and the existing confession is here, and you can't collude again!" ”

As he spoke, Li Weiguo shook a confession twice, as if he was demonstrating.

Xiao Yang was shocked, turned to "Xiao San'er" and shouted: "San'er, what did you recruit?" ”

"Xiao San'er" replied in a hoarse voice: "Uncle, I have truthfully explained everything about digging up the river embankment, burning down the county granary, attacking Wu Yong, etc., the county commander promised to spare me not to die, I advise my uncle to confess too, and the provincial family will be finished with you." ”

"Brute, you dare to betray even your own uncle!" Xiao Yang was almost angry to death, and he didn't find his nephew's 'abnormality'.

In fact, the Xiao San'er in front of him was not the real Xiao San'er, but a death row prisoner who pretended to be a death row prisoner, and in order to deceive Xiao Yang, he deliberately beat him beyond recognition, and his voice was hoarse. Because Li Weiguo promised to release him from prison after the fake "Xiao San'er" was completed, the prisoner was very cooperative.

In normal times, this strategy would not be able to hide Xiao Yang's poisonous eyes, but at this time, Xiao Yang had already developed a fear of Li Weiguo and was in a mess, so he didn't find the imposter in front of him, thinking that it was really his nephew who betrayed him, and his heart was suddenly like ashes.

Li Weiguo snorted coldly: "Xiao Yang, there are all the human and material evidence, what else do you have to say?" ”

Xiao Yang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he said in a hurry: "Hmph, the adult is just a trick, and the old man is not convinced!" ”

"The evidence is ironclad, and you can't be dissatisfied! Someone comes, the big punishment is waiting, see if he recruits or not! Li Weiguo sneered, and immediately punished Xiao Yang one after another.

This is the good thing about the ancient law, as long as there is so-called "evidence", the suspect can be tortured, and there is no fear that the suspect will not confess.

The officials all know the endless relationship between Li Weiguo and Xiao Yang, and now Xiao Yang, as a loser, will naturally not get the sympathy of the officials, and in turn, the officials want to show their loyalty to Li Weiguo, the new master, so they are unceremonious to Xiao Yang, and the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are used on him in turn.

Xiao Yang was already pampered, arrogant and expensive, plus he was old, he has been angry with Li Weiguo recently, and his body is getting worse, and now he is being served in turns by the torture, Xiao Yang fainted in pain for a while, and was woken up by cold water for a while, and after dying and living a few times, a handful of old bones are about to fall apart.

"Dead old thief! Old Puff! You also have today! ”

Seeing Xiao Yang being tortured, Li Weiguo felt very happy, and he came to Chongming County to be framed by the other party everywhere, and now he has finally come back with revenge.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Yang finally chose to soften because he was afraid of death, pain, and sin.

"Don't-don't-don't-old man--old-me-I move-"

Hearing that Xiao Yang was planning to confess, Li Weiguo was overjoyed, and deliberately rubbed for a while before ordering someone to stop the torture.

"Since you confessed, why don't you come one by one quickly!"

Xiao Yang glared at Li Weiguo fiercely, his eyes were like murder.

Li Weiguo was not afraid, and looked at Xiao Yang with a triumphant smile, and soon Xiao Yang sighed, defeated, and admitted that he had instructed his subordinates to dig up the river embankment, burn down the granary, and assassinate Wu Yong.

The master (Huang Liang's temporary representative) finished the record, handed it to Xiao Yang for signature and drawing, and then handed it to Li Weiguo for review.

"The county now announces that the criminal Xiao Yang, as the head of the county government, knew the law and violated the law, instructed his subordinates to dig a dam to flood Chongming County, causing tens of thousands of deaths and more than 100,000 homeless, and instructed his subordinates to burn down the granary of the county government, causing 200,000 stones of grain to be burned, and even instigated the people to attack the county government and sent people to assassinate Wu Yong, the warden of the household, and the above facts, there are the defendant's testimony and personal drawing, and there are witnesses and material evidence, and the defendant Xiao Yang also confessed......"

"This county believes that the defendant's criminal methods are cruel, the impact is extremely bad, the social consequences are particularly severe, and he is a public official, so he should be severely punished in accordance with the law.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

As soon as he did the official service, the onlookers applauded and praised one after another, and for a time Li Weiguo's name was in the hearts of the people of Chongming County.

Xiao Yang saw Li Weiguo's smug look, he gritted his teeth in anger, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out, he endured the churning in his chest, and sneered: "The old man admitted it this time, but don't be complacent, the old man will win it back!" ”

Of course, Li Weiguo understood Xiao Yang's hole cards, and deliberately stimulated the other party: "You mean that you made a fake account, right?" Don't worry, this county has already found out, if you have a deficit of 320,000 taels of silver on your books, if Lu Jianying comes over in person, this county will definitely tell you truthfully! ”

"You-how can you find out--a-poof-" Xiao Yang was so surprised that before he could finish speaking, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he passed out on the spot.

Damn, why don't I squirt you to death!

Li Weiguo smiled, like a general who had won a battle, and his heart was very comfortable and happy.

Xiao Yang was carried away, and then brought the heads of the Lu and Huang families up.

At this moment, the heads of the Lu and Huang families broke out in cold sweat, and their clothes were soaked. The two of them were brought into the interrogation room before, and the official sent a death row prisoner to demonstrate to the two of them the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which scared the two of them on the spot.

Seeing Xiao Yang being tortured to death and alive just now, and finally confessed, as if empathizing, he suddenly fell to his knees in fright, and begged Li Weiguo for mercy: "The grass people deserve death for their crimes, please ask the adults to be merciful and surround the lives of the grass people!" ”

Li Weiguo shouted: "Lu and Huang, the two family heads, you should be people who understand, and this county will not talk nonsense with you." As long as the two of you confess truthfully, the county will protect your lives, otherwise if you dare to say half a lie, don't blame the county's subordinates for being ruthless. ”

After listening to Li Weiguo's words, Lu and Huang dared not comply, and immediately tremblingly told the ins and outs of the previous and subsequent crimes, and then signed and detained.

Soon, Li Weiguo was sentenced, Lu and Huang were sentenced to ten years in prison, and their family property was also confiscated.

Lu Huang and the others immediately collapsed to the ground after hearing the verdict, regretting that they should not have gone against Xiao Yang and Li Weiguo in the first place, but fortunately, they were able to save their lives, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Next, Li Weiguo pronounced the sentence on the accomplices, Xiao San'er and others were all executed, and the others who did not commit serious crimes were sentenced lightly.

In this way, the three big landlord forces of Xiao, Lu and Huang, who had been rampant in Chongming County for decades, were uprooted, and the people rushed to celebrate.
