For Gu Quan's father and son, even if Li Hongjin doesn't care about the rebellion, they have done such a hurtful thing for so many years, how can they explain to the people if they are let go.

"Everything is done according to the law." After Li Hongjin finished speaking, he ordered someone to take Gu Quan down.

According to Gu Quan's crime, it is not a problem to sentence Ling Chi to death, Li Chunfeng felt that it was too cruel, so he begged his grandfather to change the sentence to behead, give them a good time, and advised his grandfather to use as little torture as possible, and to give the people a time to recuperate.

In this regard, Li Hongjin agreed to come down.

According to statistics, in this battle, the soldiers lost nearly 7,000 people, and the restaurant masters also lost nearly 200 people.

Before, these soldiers were disdainful of the people in the rivers and lakes, and only felt that they were just a group of rabble, with no combat ability, but who knew that today opened their eyes, not only are they all masters of one enemy and ten, but they are also extremely good at killing people and recruiting people to death.

These soldiers suffered a lot of damage after a big battle, so Li Chunfeng sent them back to the barracks to rest, and then asked Yue Chongzun to send some troops over.

After this battle, Li Chunfeng's prestige completely spread in the barracks, especially his deeds of fighting three masters alone, which were talked about by many soldiers, and since then, no one dares to question Li Chunfeng's ability.

Sissi also helped a lot this time, not only slashed a few enemies, but also saved a lot of soldiers, Li Hongjin was very satisfied.

After cleaning up the place, Li Hongjin took Li Chunfeng, Lian Shuzhi, and Qian Qian to a lobby, when everyone sat down, a person who looked like a subordinate, holding a stack of books, followed by many people, about twenty or thirty people, after they saw the prince, they immediately knelt down.

These books record the evidence of the crimes committed by Gu Quan's father and son during this time, all of which were collected in Gu Quan's mansion, including a series of crimes such as their embezzlement of people's land and property in the name of the palace, embezzlement of the palace's money, and buying and selling human numbers.

Li Hongjin's grandfather and grandson carefully read these complaints, and they accused Gu Quan and his son of killing their children, taking their wives, forcing them to become prostitutes, and killing innocents indiscriminately.

Li Hong angrily slapped the table next to him directly, and he said to the people: "As long as what you say is true, this king will definitely make decisions for you." ”

Those people kowtowed on the ground excitedly, Li Chunfeng hurriedly stepped forward, signaling that they could get up and say, and when they stood up, Li Chunfeng said: "Fellow villagers, our palace did something wrong, and did not find out these evil things done by their father and son in time, but you can rest assured, after we find out the matter, we will definitely give you justice, and the land annexed by their father and son will also be returned in full, and you will be compensated." ”

Hearing this result, all the people quickly knelt down and kowtowed in thanksgiving.

After the group of people left, Li Chunfeng said, "What should I do next?" ”

Li Hongjin waved his hand, "This matter will be handed over to you to deal with, I will wait to go back to the barracks and appease the soldiers there." ”

Li Chunfeng nodded, "Don't worry!" That's what taught me. Then he called the officials who came up later to the palace to discuss how to investigate the case next.

After a while, an official in an official uniform came here, this person is the assassin here, named Lin Jiandi, except for the prince, who belongs to his official greatest, since the assassin was imprisoned, Li Hongjin chose him as the assassin here.

This person is honest and selfless, when he was still a petty official in the fiefdom, he did a lot of good things for the local people, and was deeply respected by the local people.

A long time ago, Lin Jiandi heard that Gu Quan had all kinds of evil things, and wanted to enter the palace to tell the prince, after Gu Quan learned the news, he stopped him again and again, but he didn't want him to enter the palace, so he could only delay the matter until now.

Originally, Gu Quan wanted to get rid of him quickly, but Lin saw that the first person was a person who was important to the prince, so in order not to arouse suspicion, he spared his life.

The incriminating evidence of Gu Quan's father and son was all collected by Lin Jiandi in the past few years, and when he heard that the two of them had been arrested, he rushed here non-stop and sent the evidence to the prince.

After Li Hongjin saw Lin Jiandi, he felt that he had experienced almost the same amount of experience in the past few years, so he recalled him to Yunyang City and let him be the assassin.

After Lin Jiandi saw Li Chunfeng, he was about to kneel, but the latter hurriedly supported him, "Lord Lin doesn't have to be polite, let's hurry up and get down to business!" ”

After Lin Jiandi sat down, he said to Li Chunfeng: "Shisun, we have copied Gu Quan's home, and a total of 10 million taels of silver have been copied, and all this money has been transported to obey the fate of Shisun. ”

Li Chunfeng didn't expect that this Gu Quan would loot so much money from the people, it was even richer than the palace, and I really don't know how many people died in his hands because of this.

"Distribute the money to the people who are suffering. As for our royal palace, we will not take a penny. ”

"Lord Shisun is wise." Then Lin Jiandi continued to ask: "Then what should their family do?" ”

Li Chunfeng said: "Anyone who participates in this case can be dealt with according to law, and as for others who don't know, they can be dealt with." ”

"But ......" Obviously, Lin Jiandi was not very satisfied with this disposition.

Li Chunfeng hurriedly took over the conversation, "It's nothing, it's not a disaster for the family, we can't kill innocents indiscriminately, right?" ”

"Yes, but after the case is closed, I don't know when they will be executed?"

Since ancient times, the execution of criminals has been beheaded after the autumn, but Li Chunfeng thought that this case was very important, and if it was not handled well, it would probably anger the people, so Li Chunfeng said that once the case was decided, he would be executed the next day, and justice would be returned to the people as soon as possible.

"Therefore, we must find evidence in this matter as soon as possible to convict them, and we must not slack off."

After Lin Jiandi left, Li Chunfeng instructed Lian Shuzhi to send those masters out to collect evidence as soon as possible.

Soon those victimized people received a pension ranging from a few taels of silver to several hundred taels of silver, and returned all their land.

Three days later, the Gu family father and son confessed in the face of ironclad evidence, and then Lin Jiandi made a judgment on them and the other four accomplices, after Gu Sheng heard this verdict, he was immediately so frightened that he peed his pants, and kowtowed in the lobby to admit his mistake, begging the prince to spare their lives.

Lin Jiandi slapped the table and said to Gu Shengyi in the hall: "Let's let us spare your life, okay!" Have you spared the people you killed? If you bring them back to life, I will spare you all. ”

Lin Jiandi's words made people outside the hall applaud.

Soon, the six prisoners were loaded into the prisoner cart and pulled to the execution ground, at this time, the road was already full of people, after they saw the prisoner cart come out, one by one became indignant, the people present had not been bullied by this Gu Quan father and son, they had long hated them, and they wanted to rush over to peel them and cramp them now.

Where the prisoner car passed, the people threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in their hands one after another, in order to vent their emotions in their hearts.

One of the officers who died at the front of the escort did not stop the people from doing anything, as long as they did not harm the lives of these prisoners, let them go!

In order to prevent someone from coming to hijack the prisoner car, Li Chunfeng sent all the dozen or so masters of the upper three realms in the restaurant to escort the prisoner car together with a group of government soldiers.

Gu Sheng was wearing a prison uniform, his head was clamped to the top of the prisoner car, unable to move, his head was full of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, he cried at the prison car in front of him: "Dad, I don't want to die, don't you have your hands and eyes to the sky?" Don't come and send someone to save us. ”

Gu Quan sighed and slowly closed his eyes, he knew that the Mingyue Sect had long since run away, how could he come to save them, now there is only a dead end, why bother today.

When they arrived at the execution ground outside the city, there were already tens of thousands of onlookers standing there, and if Li Hongjin hadn't sent 20,000 soldiers to maintain order in advance, I am afraid that these people would have rushed forward and devoured the father and son alive.

The prison officers in the rear of Xingtai were Li Chunfeng and Lin Jiandi, and when the people saw Shisun himself, they began to discuss.

An old man said to a few young people beside him: "I heard that this big case was solved by Lord Shisun himself, if it weren't for our Lord Shisun, this pair of dog father and son, would still be at large!" ”

A young man asked with some confusion, "Where did you hear about this?" Didn't the prince notice something wrong before? ”

The old man said with some pride: "My granddaughter is a maid in the palace, and I heard her say before that the prince is in the barracks all day long, and he can't go back to the palace a few times a month, and all the big and small things in the palace are handed over to Gu Quan, which is why he has developed such a disaster." ”

The old man straightened his voice and continued: "I heard from my granddaughter that our grandson in this world is Li Chunfeng and Li Shaoxia in the rivers and lakes, and he is very capable, not only on the spot, but also the head of Fengwu Cliff and Qingyou Valley, and he is very good, as soon as he came to the palace, he asked the princess to treat his subordinates better, so my granddaughter can get a salary of two taels of silver every month, which is twice as much as before." ”

Several other young people were completely attracted by the old man's words, and at the same time became suspicious, could he say this? It can't be hearsay!

Hearing this, the old man immediately pointed to the sky and swore that if he said a lie, he would be thundered five times in the sky.

"Don't believe it, this is what Lord Shisun's apprentice personally told our granddaughter."
