"Wen Zhao, a group of criminals in Langya, how is the trial?" Li Wanjiang looked at Shao Wenzhao again.

The Qin prisoners in Langya County had already been escorted ten days before Xiao Chen, and as soon as they arrived, the Criminal Department immediately began to interrogate.

"Back to the emperor, the ministers and the criminal department are being interrogated." Shao Wenzhao said busily.

"Why hasn't the trial been concluded for so many days? Is it because they won't confess? Li Wanjiang said with a calm face.

"They all confessed, but there were quite a lot of other things involved...... Shao Wenzhao hesitated.

"Huh?" Li Wanjiang glared.

"These Qin prisoners have confessed a lot of people who have close contacts with Duan Fengnian and have frequent letters, and there are also places and courts, and these confessions naturally need to be verified one by one, so it is delayed." Shao Wenzhao said.

"Who are they?" Li Wanjiang asked lightly.

"Back to the emperor, there are Li Feng, the king of Fengyang, Li Sinian, the secretary of the Jinyi Weidu, and the general of Jingzhou, ......" Shao Wenzhao did not dare to hide it, and spoke bluntly.

"Duan Fengnian was originally promoted by Li Fengbao, and he was also born in General Bailongwei, it is normal for them to have correspondence, and he Duan Fengnian has been the governor of Langya for so long, and it is not uncommon for him to make friends with local officials in the DPRK and China, this is still the end of the investigation? Let's close the case as soon as possible. Li Wanjiang said.

"Obey." Shao Wenzhao said in his heart, just wait for the emperor's words.

If you don't speak, we will only have trial, and now hundreds of people have been tried, if the case is not concluded as soon as possible, it will evolve into the case of the Tianxuan Society last time, involving many and it is difficult to deal with the aftermath.

"Now that the prisoners have pleaded guilty, how are you going to convict the criminal department?" Li Wanjiang asked again.

"Back to the emperor, although the main culprit Duan Fengnian is dead, the crime is unforgivable, and the corpse should be exposed for a month, and the canonical punishment should be clear, so as to set an example for the world! His four sons were also condemned as the main offender and should be beheaded, and the rest of the people were all torn apart! Shao Wenzhao said.

There is nothing to say about rebellion and rebellion, the sin is unforgivable, and the punishment should be the heaviest.

It is clear that there is no punishment now, otherwise even if they are all cut with a thousand knives, they will deserve it!

"It's just a matter of punishing Duan Fengnian, and you don't have to expose the corpse, this is about to be the New Year, so you don't have to make it disgusting! Just throw it out to feed the wild dogs, and his conscience has long been eaten by the dogs anyway! Li Wanjiang talked about Duan Fengnian, showing a look of disgust, but he didn't expose his corpse.

"As for his dog sons, as well as those dogs who rebelled against him, they will also be beheaded, and those who wait again will be hanged, as for their ......families," Li Wanjiang wanted to say that he was directly sold to Qinglou as a prostitute and slave.

But suddenly remembered that it was also above the court at the beginning, Xiao Chen and Cheng Youwen quarreled about it in front of him, Xiao Chen was such a steady person who rarely lost his temper, and in anger, he almost beat Cheng Youwen!

Then he changed his words, "Either sold by the government or enslaved...... It's up to you to discuss. ”

Shao Wenzhao and the big guy stood up together and praised, "The emperor is benevolent and gracious!" ”

At the same time, I also secretly wondered in my heart, why did the emperor change sex this time?

In the past, he was ruthless in dealing with this kind of thing, and he never tolerated mercy, but now he suddenly softened his heart, is it because the New Year is coming?

But because the emperor said that the New Year is coming, it means that this case must be concluded before the New Year, and the knife will cut through the mess quickly, and those who should be killed should be killed quickly, and those who should be released should be released quickly, and the big guys in the province will not be happy for the New Year......

"Ladies and gentlemen, Langya County has gone through this difficulty, and it needs a person who can do things and take responsibility to act as an agent, who do you think is the most suitable to send?" Li Wanjiang wiped his face and asked in a deep voice.

Li Shi had already prepared, and was the first to speak, recommending a squire from the household department to be the governor of Langya County, and listed all the advantages of that person one by one, obviously familiar with it.

Because Duan Fengnian was recommended by Li Feng, and now he suddenly rebelled, which made him extremely embarrassed, and although he also had a candidate in his heart at this time, it was not very easy to sponsor him.

But Li Wanjiang still saved face for him, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he took the initiative to ask him, and he just raised two people to deal with it.

Wang Anbang, Lu Jing, Ma Wuming, Zhu Xiaochuan and others some expressed their support for Li Shi's candidate, and some recommended a few others.

"Li Qiu, why don't you speak?" Seeing that Li Qiu remained silent, he immediately asked his opinion.

"Erchen is new to the court, and he is not very familiar with the personnel of the court, and he does not dare to speak up." Li Qiu's answer was reasonable and decent, but since the emperor inquired, he would definitely recommend one, "But if you want your son to recommend one, your son thinks Xiao Chen is the most suitable." ”“

Hahaha, Xiao Chen, he definitely can't. Li Wanjiang smiled, "What I know is that we value him, and those who don't know think that we are going to exhaust me Xiao Aiqing to death!" Xiao Chen, do you have anyone to recommend? ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister actually has an extremely suitable candidate in his heart, but he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not!" Xiao Chen said.

"What can't we talk about...... Oh......" Li Wanjiang suddenly understood who he was talking about, and said after a long while, "Let's discuss this matter again, I still have to think about it." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music!" Liu Qiheng saw the stitches and told them that the Ministry of Rites planned to send a set of clothes to each of the trial children of the Jinke Association in the name of the emperor.

"Oh?" Li Wanjiang was happy to hear this, but asked again, "How much silver does this need?" ”

"About 100,000 taels, and there are also Jinshi and the first dresses, which are all purchased by us, and they all cost 200,000 taels." Liu Qiheng said.

"Two hundred thousand taels?" Chen Wenqi shouted when he heard this, "What kind of generosity are you in the Ministry of Etiquette?" Make clothes for them! Is it to prevent cheating or do you want to be in the limelight? I don't care about the three fires that you Liu Qiheng are the new official when he takes office, but you can't burn my household, 200,000 taels of silver, it's really a shame that you can say it! ”

"Wen Qi's words also make sense." Li Wanjiang said, "Qi Heng, don't you have good intentions to do good things?" But now our treasury is really nervous, this is going to be the New Year, and the soldiers who come back will be rewarded, and Langya County will be subsidized...... Let's put this matter aside for a while, and then talk about it in the next scientific expedition. ”

Li Wanjiang is also a thin mud, and no one refutes the face of the two ministers.

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't say that he wanted his household to give out the money, so Lord Chen was in a hurry first." Liu Qiheng said, "This money is sponsored by us ourselves, and the specific matters are handled by Jiang Tiansheng's servant, Lord Jiang, you can tell the emperor for a while." ”

Jiang Tiansheng hurriedly agreed to go out of the queue, and told him that someone was willing to sponsor this amount of money, and that person would have to pay an additional 200,000 taels of subsidies......

"Oh? Who is so rich? Li Wanjiang asked.

"Back to the emperor, it's Shi Mingtao." Jiang Tiansheng said.
