After a while, a miserable scream came from the corner of the courtyard, and a brocade guard came over with Liu Zhong's still bloodied head to report: "Lord, Liu Zhong has been ambushed!" ”

"Presumably his wife will miss him, and send Liu Zhong's wife and sister-in-law to accompany him." Ye Teng is determined to be ruthless to the end, since he wants to be deterred, then give these former powerful and blessed people a lesson that will never be forgotten!

"No!" The brocade guard took the order and left.

It was only at this moment that the hundreds of lords and servants of the palace in the courtyard began to wake up from the shock of Liu Zhong's killing, and they began to be convinced that Ye Teng really dared to kill. Seeing Jinyiwei walking towards the crowd again, a trembling voice begging for mercy sounded: "General, spare your life, I'll give you whatever you want, please don't kill me!" Liu Zhong's son is obviously more cowardly than his wife.

"What do I want? I don't want anything! Ye Teng waved his hand expressionlessly, and after a while, several screams came, and Liu Zhong's wife and two sisters-in-law also accompanied Liu Zhong.

"Let's interrogate them separately, the descendants of the Liu family will leave two or three who are willing to cooperate, and the others will be killed. Stewards, stewards, housekeepers, servants, etc., who do a lot of evil on weekdays, leave a group and wait for a few days to be publicly executed! As for the female dependents, don't be too embarrassed, kill those who do evil, and keep those who don't do evil! Whoever dares to insult a woman is guilty of the same crime as the evildoer! After Ye Teng finished speaking, he left.

Early the next morning, Chen Ping came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and reported to Ye Teng the results of the overnight interrogation:

"Lord, because of your previous shock, the masters and servants of the palace are basically more cooperative.

I have left three concubines who are relatively cowardly, willing to cooperate, and have a relatively distant blood relationship. There were many servants such as stewards and stewards who did evil, and 15 of them committed the most heinous crimes.

The ladies all stayed, but there were also two vicious ones! I suggest that they be publicly executed in the same batch! There is countless money and food in the palace, and I have sealed it! The soldiers trapped in the camp are still guarding! ”

"Let's choose one of the descendants of the Liu family, and the public will perform the court and inherit the throne. The other two sent people to Tianma City to raise them and leave them for backup.

Female dependents, although they used to be clothed and fed, as long as they don't do evil, they don't have to be too embarrassed. Let's send them all to Zhenbei City, and let them fend for themselves.

All those who have committed heinous crimes and are ready to be executed in public should work hard to find some victims, and in a few days the case will be tried and executed by the public station! At that time, I will go to watch the execution with the new prince!

The money and grain of the palace will be handed over to the public station to take the lead in counting! Including money and grain, fertile land, mansions, and dock forts, a small part is left for the palace to maintain the survival needs of dozens of people, and the rest will be donated by the new prince on his own initiative to compensate the victims, as well as to relieve refugees and displaced people.

How to do these donations is most conducive to the implementation of our new decree, and leave no sequelae, the public station should consider more! ”

Ye Teng explained slowly, one by one. Chen Gong and Chen Ping all carefully recorded them for implementation.

——————————

After another three days, the Prime Minister's Mansion of Changshan State posted a notice again, and the old prince Liu Zhong unfortunately contracted the disease and died violently, and Liu Zhong's son Liu Ji inherited the throne!

The new prince deeply hated the dignified palace in the past, but it had become a place to hide dirt and dirt, and he was determined to change his past wrongs, work hard, and personally handed over the people of the palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion for public trial!

Changshan State Minister Chen Gong decided to set up a high platform for a public trial tomorrow in Yuanshi Central Square, and the victims are welcome to come to the scene to appeal, and if the complaint is true, compensation will be given as appropriate.

Early the next morning, the sky was just bright, and the central square of Yuanshi City was crowded with people. When Chen Gong and others appeared, there were no less than 100,000 people watching the excitement in the square.

It has always been the people of the royal palace who roar the market, who they want to beat, who they want to rob, who they want to rob, who they want to occupy, and who they want to occupy, and who take the initiative to hand over their slaves to the Prime Minister's Office for public trial, and this is the first time everyone has heard of it.

On the high platform, Chen Gong sat in the center, the new king of Changshan Liu Ji was on the left, Ye Teng, the general of Zhenbei, was on the right, and there were as many as 100 people in the two rows. From the high platform to the square, there are thousands of trapped camps to maintain order.

"Take someone to commit it!" With the shocking photograph of Chen Palace, the trembling fat housekeeper of the palace was first escorted to the stage and knelt in front of the trial table.

"Where is the bitter master?" As Chen Gong's voice fell, more than a dozen plaintiffs were successively led to the high stage.

"My lord, the bitter master who sued Yang Jie, the housekeeper of the palace, has thirteen people from seven families." A catcher stepped forward to report.

"Then come one by one!"

"No!"

Under the arrangement of the officials, an old man first came forward to admonish:

"My lord, the old man's surname is Zhang, and his family originally had three acres of fertile land, but because there were seven people in the family, it was difficult to make ends meet, so he often rented the fields of the palace.

Three years ago, Yang Jie, the housekeeper of the palace, fell in love with my family's only three acres of fertile land, so he took advantage of the autumn harvest to double the field rent for no reason, the old man is not enough to hand over all the harvest to the palace, so Yang Jie took my family's only three acres of fertile land to rent, the old man was unwilling, he led the evil slaves of the palace to beat, our whole family was beaten several times, the old man's wife's leg was discounted, and she has not been able to walk!

The old man once went to the yamen to sue, but because it involved people in the palace, the yamen did not dare to accept it. ”

"Whose hands are these three acres of land now?" Chen Gong asked.

"In the hands of Yang Jie's nephew."

"Then who can prove that those three acres of land were originally yours? And three years ago, it was taken away by Yang Jie by raising the rent? ”

"Those three acres of land are the ancestral fields of the old man, and the ancestors have belonged to the old man for generations, and the neighbors can prove it. Three years ago, Yang Jie brought people to the door to force rent, dominate the field, and beat people, and the neighbors all knew about it, but everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and they were not able to make decisions for the old man! ”

"Take the old man's neighbor and Yang Jie's nephew!" Chen Gongdao.

As the trial deepened, the incident gradually became clear, and Yang Jie occupied three acres of fertile land for Zhang Laohan by illegal means and handed it over to his nephew for management.

As a result, in the past three years, Zhang Laohan's family has been starving, often digging wild vegetables, and even eating bark and grass roots to satisfy hunger, and the whole family has suffered from swollen feet! Mr. Zhang's wife is not only bedridden with a crippled leg, but is now dying due to long-term malnutrition.

Immediately afterwards, several plaintiffs were examined one by one, and Yang Jie could be said to be guilty of a lot of crimes, and there were not a few cases of robbing land, robbing people, and beating others to death.

Next, after a public trial, the other stewards and evil slaves of the palace basically belonged to those who deserved to be punished for their crimes and were unsympathetic, and together with Yang Jie, they were beheaded on the spot!

More than a dozen flying heads made the people of Changshan Kingdom a little bit out of the evil spirit of being oppressed by the palace in the past, and at the same time, they also made the people realize the courage of the new prime minister's mansion and the actual action of being the master of the people!

All other relatives and slaves of the royal palace who benefited from it and participated in harboring and aiding the abuses were also punished. The victims were all compensated in court, and the voices of the big man at the scene came and went.

After the trial, the new prince Liu Ji made a sincere apology to the people of Changshan Kingdom for the evil deeds of the palace in the past, and announced that all the compensation for the victims would be borne by the palace, and at the same time donated a large amount of money and grain, acres of land, etc., for the relief of displaced refugees and hungry people.

Finally, Liu Ji, on behalf of the palace, and Chen Gong on behalf of the Prime Minister's Office, announced that the governance of Changshan Kingdom would be included in the Zhenbei General's Mansion. At the same time, he thanked General Zhenbei for eliminating evil and promoting good, and upholding justice for the people.

More than 100,000 people gathered in the central square shouted the general's mercy in unison, and some even shouted the slogan of long live the general of Zhenbei!
