At dawn the next day, the Yanping County Government issued two notices urgently.

One is about Cui Xiaotian's crime and trial, announcing that he would parade through the streets in three days and be executed by Ling Chi.

The other is the truth about the ghost face killer, announcing to the public that the ghost face killer case thirteen years ago was an unjust, false and wrongful case, and the real ghost face killer is called Li Zhun!

Seeing the notice, Yanping County boiled again.

The common people naturally vied with each other about Cui Xiaotian's trial, with gongs and drums noisy, as if it was the New Year, and the degree of celebration was far greater than when Qiu Batian asked for a beheading.

As for the case of the ghost-faced killer, it also caused an uproar on the street, especially for the families of those victims, who were extremely concerned.

So, on the same day, Yanping County Yayou County Cheng Chen Houlu presided over a public trial, and Li Zhun's crime of mutilating seven young girls was publicly announced, and people learned the ins and outs of the case.

At the same time, a public trial was also held for Qi Yunzheng's crime of killing Tong Xianling, Lu Yusheng and Liu Sanyang, but due to the complexity of the case, the verdict of Qi Yunzheng was temporarily postponed.

However, Qi Yunzheng was already satisfied and had no regrets in this life, because under his witness, the yamen officially rehabilitated Qi Dalang to prove his innocence.

In the crowd, a middle-aged woman was crying secretly, this person was Qi Yunzheng's second sister Qi Qiaomei, and her mood was undoubtedly the most complicated.

Although the eldest brother got revenge, the second brother fell into prison again, and life and death were unpredictable.

Originally, in their plan, Qi Yunzheng would be able to escape in the end, but Qi Yunzheng had a Buddha vow in his heart, changed his mind, and finally gave up escaping.

As a result, Qi Qiaomei had mixed tastes and began to wonder if this revenge plan was worth it?

The trial of the ghost-faced killer made the families of the victims very excited, and they came to thank the yamen for their impartiality and justice, and on the other hand, they inevitably hated and hated the Tianxiong Dart Bureau.

So, they gathered a large number of people on the same day and went to the Tianxiong Dart Bureau to march and denounce, wanting to ask Li Sixiong for an explanation.

However, when they came to the dart bureau to take a look, they found that the dart board had gone to the empty building, the gate had been demolished, the plaque had been smashed, and it had already become a ruin.

It turned out that after the dart masters of the Tianxiong Dart Bureau learned that the ghost-faced killer was Li Zhun, the son of Li Sixiong, they had already expected the collapse of the dart game to be inevitable, so they divided their things early and dispersed on the spot.

Some of them didn't grab the good stuff, and they smashed the plaque of the dart game in anger......

The fall of Li Sixiong indicates that three of the four major bullies in Yanping County have gone, and for the common people, happiness seems to have come too suddenly, and everyone doesn't know how to celebrate except for beating gongs and drums.

Three days later, still on the bank of the Gu River in the southern suburbs, Cui Xiaotian was executed by Ling Chi.

Due to the Holy Lord's reminder, Cui Xiaotian's henchmen were all sentenced heavily, so Cui Xiaotian's son Cui Meng, as well as an important subordinate, were all sentenced to be beheaded, as many as 20 people!

As a result, the banks of the valley river are stained with blood, and they can only be washed away when the river rises in the next year......

As the saying goes, when a person has a thought, heaven and earth know it. If good and evil are not rewarded, there will be selfishness.

Cui Xiaotian hurt the heavens and reason, causing hundreds of people's families to be ruined, and today it can be regarded as self-reaping.

Unlike the previous people from the Criminal Department, Gonggong Lan of the Master of Ceremonies did not live in seclusion and refused to see guests. In the past three days, he did not refuse to come, and successively met with officials of all sizes headed by Han Wentao, and received a lot of "small gifts".

However, this Lan Gonggong is really experienced, no matter how he talks to the other party, he is always leaky, he is not taken away by the other party, and he almost does not say a word of use.

Moreover, Father-in-law Lan did not pay any attention to the facts of the case, but only symbolically supervised the execution, during which he never even looked at the file.

However, Father-in-law Lan seemed to have a preference for Song Zhili, and before leaving, he told Song Zhili to work hard and not to live up to the high hopes of the saint.

Song Zhili was naturally flattered and even showed his loyalty.

After seeing off Grandpa Lan and his entourage, Han Wentao had no value of stay, and left Yanping County on the same day.

In this way, a catastrophe of destruction achieved a great reversal, and it seemed that suddenly, the yamen returned to its former peace.

However, Song Zhili, Xu Zhen and others all knew that they had formed a relationship with Liang Zi, who assassinated Han Wentao, and the current peace was only a temporary peace.

Qiu Batian asked and beheaded, and after Cui Xiaotian was late, their guilty subordinates were also escorted to Daguan City one after another to serve their sentences.

The pressure on the southern prison of Yamen has finally dropped sharply, and it is no longer as overcrowded as before.

At present, the heaviest prisoners in it are only the ghost-faced killer Li Zhun and the monk Qi Yunzheng.

Due to the wide range of involvement in the ghost face killer case, it is necessary to wait for many family members to come to confirm, so it is still under trial for the time being.

As for Qi Yunzheng, Song Zhili planned to write a love letter, using Qi Yunzheng's status as a monk to exempt him from the death penalty and only sentence him to be sent to the army.

However, this letter of love requires Sima Xin's approval, but now Sima Xin has returned to the state capital with Han Wentao, so he plans to postpone the matter.

Of course, he is about to go to Qizhou to take up his post, and this matter can only be left to Chen Houlu.

At this moment, in the inner hall, Song Zhili withdrew everyone, leaving Xu Zhen alone in the room to talk.

And the topic of the conversation can also be imagined, Song Zhili invited Xu Zhen to go to Qizhou with him and let Xu Zhen be his staff.

"Look," Song Zhili analyzed, "I hold the golden peach in my hand, and they don't dare to touch me, but if I leave like this, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be unfavorable to you!"

"Why don't you come with me, in the future, I will be able to get rid of your lowly status, and in the future, I will also find an official and a half-position, and glorify my ancestors, wouldn't it be good?"

Regarding Song Zhili's invitation, Xu Zhen had already expected it.

Although the two of them had a grudge, and although Song Zhili was played by Xu Zhen, the final result proved that Xu Zhen's judgment and strategy were right.

Especially judging from the incident of Song Zhili coercing Cui Xiaotian without authorization, Song Zhili is more aware that Xu Zhen, a small catcher, is more stable and long-term than him.

If you take Xu Zhen with you, you can naturally make him feel like a tiger.

However, Xu Zhen's considerations are different.

He did not deny that following Song Zhili would indeed allow him to move up the ranks faster, and even have the opportunity to access the center of power in the future.

However, he also knows that haste is not enough.

Xu Zhen is not worried about the pressure he will bear in the future, what he is most worried about is actually Song Zhili.

Song Zhili once sent someone to assassinate him, and the key is that Xu Zhen found that although Song Zhili was a literati, there was an inscrutable evil spirit in his bones.

He is not greedy or evil, but he always hides selfishness at critical moments, and with such a person, Xu Zhen can't rest assured.

Of course, Xu Zhen knew how to be flexible, he did not directly refuse Song Zhili's kindness, but said to Song Zhili:

"Lord Song, it is precisely because you went to Qizhou that I should stay and prevent those people from being unfavorable to us." Xu Zhen said sincerely, "Don't worry, once the crisis passes, everyone is safe and sound, I will immediately leave for Qizhou to join you!" ”
