69. Merits and demerits are offset
Zhao Moshen was ordered to raid the Meng Mansion and other three mansions, and search for relevant evidence.
A large amount of gold and silver treasures were seized from the Meng, Zhang, and Liu mansions. Zhao Shuang didn't expect that there would be such a rich family in Xiaolanfeng County.
Even Lin Wenyi, a noble son who came from the capital and had seen the world, was amazed by the wealth of the three families.
Since the three homes were raided, the streets and alleys of Lanfeng County are full of beggars and homeless people and no one has fed them.
After hearing that the purpose of the three families to attract beggars to Lanfeng County was to kill people and skin them, although some of them left, there were still a large number of beggars and homeless people who did not leave, and it was obvious that they could not afford to support so many beggars and homeless people just by relying on the alms of the normal people in Lanfeng County.
The beggars and homeless people who do not leave and do not have enough food have put a lot of pressure on the security of Lanfeng County.
Zhao Moshen was good at making claims, and took out a sum of money and property found from the Meng Mansion and other three prefectures, and each homeless beggar gave two taels of silver, and sent them to leave Lanfeng County, go back to their hometown to survive the winter, or go to other places to fend for themselves.
The money and wealth of the three prefectures such as the Meng Prefecture were originally ill-gotten gains from selling the skins of beggars and homeless people, and the distribution to these beggars and homeless people who were almost victims was also taken from the people for the people.
But this practice directly led to the biggest contributor to cracking this earth-shattering case, Zhao Moshen, is still the original Zhao Moshen, without any reward, the acting magistrate of Bapin or the acting magistrate of Bapin, the merit of solving the case and the private release of money to beggars and homeless people.
After the trial, the people of the Meng Mansion and other three prefectures colluded with some social strongmen to kidnap the beggars and wanderers, strip them of their intact human skins, and sell them to the Xiwu Kingdom, where a complete and good-looking human skin could be sold for 100 taels of silver.
And the porridge they provide to the beggars and homeless, a beggar can't drink two taels of silver for a whole winter, not to mention that most of the beggars and homeless people will not see the spring flowers next spring.
During the long winter, the skins of most of them would be sent to the Western Witch Kingdom, and their bodies would be buried in the fields of Beiwa Village to be used as fertilizer.
There are very few beggars and homeless people who can survive and leave Lanfeng County.
After the truth spread in Lanfeng County and the surrounding county governments, the people panicked for a while, and every household did not dare to go out at night, and they had to go out in groups during the day.
The main members of the three prefectures such as the Meng Mansion and the strongmen were sentenced to be executed, the subordinates who participated in the crime were executed, the subordinates who did not participate were sold, and the members of the main family who did not know about it were either assigned to the frontier or sold.
The three major families of Lanfeng County, which were once prosperous, fell white for a while, and the land was really clean.
All the property of the three governments was confiscated and returned to the state treasury.
These judgments were made by the prefect of Pinglan Province, and the money was also handed over to the treasury of Pinglan Province.
Because Zhao Moshen privately distributed the seized silver money to beggars and homeless people, Lanfeng County did not get a penny of reward.
However, the servants of Lanfeng County made meritorious deeds, but they offset the crime they had helped Sanfu to get it, after all, they didn't know the inside story, and the most they did was to turn a blind eye to the kidnapping of beggars and homeless people and open the city gate.
Of course, as in the case of the puppet, the insider and the participant will naturally be sentenced together.
The servants who had narrowly escaped did not complain, but became more and more loyal to Lord Zhao, because they needed to drink Miss Zhao's tea to relieve the unspeakable pain of the attack.
And Zhao Shuang fell into the hard work of rehabilitating drugs for the errands.
The only thing that made Zhao Shuang happy was that when Lin Chu went to work on the case, he left his nephew Lin Wenyi in Lanfeng County and asked Zhao Moshen to take care of it.
By the way, Lin Chu's real identity is the Sentencing Envoy of Xilang Province.
The Lin family is a scholarly family, belonging to a big family in the capital, and there are many Lin disciples serving in the court.
Zhao Moshen's previous magistrate was a bit of a distant relative of the Lin family.
After the magistrate was in office, after he was condemned to die accidentally, the family was unwilling and found their relatives Lin family, hoping that the Lin family could help find out the cause of death in the county.
After hearing the news, Lin Chu was quite interested in such a small county as Lan Feng, and after three county magistrates died mysteriously in office in a row, all of them were accidents.
How did the accident happen to Lan Feng's magistrate?
Lin Chu personally went out and took his nephew into Lanfeng County as a businessman, secretly investigating the case, and happened to be met by Zhao Shuang in the restaurant, which led to the later development.
The skinning case that caused a sensation in Tianhongguo was taken over by Pinglan Mansion, and after all the criminals were escorted to Pinglan Mansion, Lanfeng County gradually returned to a short period of peace.
Winter in the north is getting colder day by day.
On this day, Zhao Shuang was teaching Fu Ning to make a stove in Rou Niang's family. This kind of stove is made of mud, with a large belly and a small mouth, which is suitable for continuous slow cooking.
"Is Rou Niang at home?" The voice of a crisp little girl came from the door.
The last time there was a crisp girl at the door shouting that Rou Niang was at home, it was Miss Meng Er who sent a girl to send an invitation, asking Zhao Shuang to go to Mengfu to drink chili, coptis, and pepper water.
Now Miss Meng Er, Miss Zhang, and Miss Liu are probably still waiting for trial in the prison of Pinglan Mansion.
Rou Niang howled: "Yes." ”
The little girl outside the courtyard gate pushed open the empty wooden door, and saw Zhao Shuang, who was sitting on a chair drinking the tea made by Yuan Xi, accompanied by a handsome young man, and saw the handsome young man in front of him rolling up his sleeves and pinching the mud, her face suddenly showed joy, but she sighed in her heart that Miss Zhao lived a really chic life, and if her wife had Miss Zhao's free and easy and open-mindedness, the future would be much better.
This little girl is none other than Lu Fugui's wife Han Zeshi, who died of nitrite poisoning from pickles.
Xiaolian stepped forward with a smile and said, "I've seen Miss Shuang'er." ”
Rou Niang was suddenly unhappy: "You came to my house by calling my name, and you didn't look for me when you entered the door, but you first greeted Miss Shuang'er, what do you mean?" ”
Xiaolian immediately smiled and blessed Rou Niang and said, "I've seen Miss Lin." ”
That's right, Rou Niang's surname is Lin, did you hear the delicate name of Miss Lin, and it felt very inconsistent with Rou Niang's image of five big and three rough and powerful?
Rou Niang smiled with satisfaction: "This is about the same." What did you come to me for? ”
Xiaolian smiled and sent the bag in her hand to Rou Niang.
Rou Niang took it and opened it for some reason, and there were two pairs of cotton shoes inside, women's, brocade embroidered, very beautiful, but Rou Niang was very unhappy and said: "This is for me?" Are you sure I can wear such small shoes? ”
Xiaolian said: "If Miss Lin doesn't fit, let Miss Zhao try it, Miss Zhao is not as tall as Miss Lin, maybe it fits." ”
Rou Niang suddenly: "You are clearly the shoes you made for Miss Shuang'er, and you lied to me that they were for me, if I can't wear them, I will naturally be Miss Shuang'er's, the little girl is cunning!" ”
Although she said that the little girl was cunning, she was still very happy, the frosty girl was still wearing single shoes when it was so cold, and her mother was very busy during the day, and she was making cotton shoes for the frosty girl under the lamp every night, but it would take two days to make them.
Now that someone has sent a ready-made one, of course Rou Niang is happy: "Miss Shuang'er, give it, try to fit it." ”
