Chapter 531: Thousands of People Implicated
Although Ye Ziyuan's stone tomb has experienced the wind, frost, rain and snow of this year, it has not changed at all, just like when Shao Xi had just buried her.
There is no trace of weeds on the grave, the surroundings are also very clean, the tombstone looks as clean as new, and the colors on the words "deceased wife Ye Zi Kite" have been refilled.
Shao Xi didn't know if the shopkeeper of the coffin shop kept his promise and had been taking care of Ye Ziyuan's grave, or if Qingshan County knew that this would be the cemetery of the future Mrs. Sipin, so he specially cleaned this place.
No matter what the reason, when Shao Xi saw that the stone tomb where Ye Zikite was buried was well cared for, he was also very comforted.
Standing in front of Ye Zikite's grave, Shao Xi didn't know what to do for a while, just stood dumbfounded, looking at the words on the tombstone.
If you want to say that the person who knows Shao Xi the most has to be Lao Wu, Shao Xi didn't expect that Lao Wu would secretly prepare incense and candle tributes a long time ago.
When they set off from Daliang City, Lao Wu had already thought that before entering Qingshan City, Shao Xi would definitely come to Ye Ziyuan's tomb to worship, so he had already instructed Fu Biao to prepare these things in advance.
In this matter, Lao Wu thought more thoughtfully than Shao Xi himself.
At this time, Shao Xi stood in front of the grave in a daze, Lao Wu beckoned to Fu Biao, Fu Biao also understood, and hurriedly opened the package in his hand.
After carefully arranging the incense and candles in front of the grave, the incense was lit and handed to Shao Xi's hands.
At this time, Shao Xi reacted and looked at Fu Biao and Lao Wu with a look of surprise and surprise.
Lao Wu pouted at him and raised his chin, which means don't ask about this at this time, let's go to the incense and worship first!
Shao Xi nodded gratefully at Lao Wu and Fu Biao, and gave Ye Ziyuan incense.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Wu, Fu Biao, and Long Qitai also stepped forward to incense Ye Zi Kite, and only Wu Qiu'er stood to the side stupidly.
He didn't understand any of this, he only knew that the stone house was lived by his master, and the master had brought them all the way here to bring food to his master.
So, he took out a cloth bag containing dry food from his arms, took a few pieces of bread out, and ran over to place them in front of Ye Zikite's grave.
Not to mention a few other people, even Shao Xi couldn't laugh when he saw it.
Wu Qiu'er is so straightforward and simple, Shao Xi doesn't blame him, at least he is worshipping his master in his own way.
When everyone finished offering incense and worshipping, Lao Wu waved his hand to the other people, and everyone walked into the distance with a tacit understanding and stood quietly, leaving only Shao Xi alone in front of Ye Zikite's grave.
Shao Xi squatted down, raised his hand and touched the stone tablet in front of him, and said with a little choked up: "Purple kite, I am finally back, this time I will come back to let everyone know that you are my Shao Xi's wife, and you are no longer alone."
"Now we have a large family of people in Kyoto Daliang City, so many of them I can't take care of them, how good it would be if you were still there, you can take care of the family for me!
"But it's good like now, you've gone through the hustle and bustle of your life, and now you can finally be here quietly and alone, but it's a pity that you're too lonely, and I can't be by your side every day.
"Another important thing to come back this time is to seek justice for you, now the Holy Decree, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Qingshan County have all been sent to prison, I will come back this time to let them pay for your life, you should be at ease if you have knowledge."
Speaking of this, Shao Xi's tears flowed unconsciously, and he raised his sleeve and wiped it gently.
He continued: "The Holy Majesty decreed that you should be named the Lady of the Four Ranks, and in the next few days, a cemetery will be built for you here, and there may be a lot of quarrel.
"After the cemetery is repaired, you can be regarded as having your own home, from now on you don't have to send people under the fence, in the future, someone will come to clean the cemetery for you every day, change the tribute, you no longer have to force a smile for life, and you can finally be a free and easy person.
"I'm going to go to the city, I'll come to see you every day for the next few days, and I won't leave until your cemetery is repaired, and I'll be by your side all the time."
After speaking, Shao Xi wiped the tears on his face again, and touched the tombstone again for a while before getting up and walking to the people who had been waiting quietly.
Shao Xi came to Xu Maocheng, Xu Maocheng knew that Shao Xi was going to arrange a task for himself, although he didn't speak, he had already bowed down and waited there.
Shao Xi said to Xu Maocheng: "Lord Xu, the next thing will all depend on you, I hope you don't bother her too much when building the cemetery, please do everything." ”
Xu Maocheng hurriedly bowed down again and replied to Shao Xi: "My lord, don't worry, everything here will be handed over to the lower officials, and the lower officials will definitely do their best and never make any mistakes."
"The things that the adults explain, the lower officials will also keep in mind, and leave everything to the lower officials, and the adults can deal with the affairs in Qingshan County with peace of mind."
The matter in Qingshan County that Xu Maocheng said in his mouth is another important thing for Shao Xi here, that is, to supervise Chen Mohuai and others.
Xu Maocheng's statement is very clear, the matter of building a cemetery for Ye Ziyuan does not have to worry about Shao Xi at all, he will handle it single-handedly, and Shao Xi will definitely be satisfied.
And Shao Xi only needs to concentrate on dealing with the enemy who killed Ye Zikite in the first place.
Shao Xi is still very relieved about Xu Maocheng's ability to do things, and now Xu Maocheng has responded so solemnly, which proves that he has taken this matter extremely important.
Then he doesn't have to worry about the cemetery anymore, he believes that Xu Maocheng will do his best to get this matter done.
So Shao Xi nodded at Xu Maocheng with satisfaction.
"If you do this properly, after returning to Daliang, I will definitely try my best to recommend you in front of the saint, and I will definitely not treat him badly to those who are kind to me."
When Xu Maocheng heard Shao Xi's words, he was naturally happy in his heart, and at the same time he was full of gratitude to Shao Xi.
I have been doing this Zuo Shilang for some years, and I have never seen the hope of advancement, it is the appearance of Shao Xi that makes him have the possibility of advancing again, so what Shao Xi explained is his own business.
So he arched his hand and said to Shao Xi: "I think it's better to do it simply, Lord Shao, you take the people and horses to Qingshan City with Lord Xing, and I will take the people from the Ministry of Engineering to start construction on the spot, the construction of this cemetery is not an overnight thing, and it never hurts to hurry up." ”
Shao Xi was very pleased to see that Xu Maocheng was so concerned about this matter, so he nodded.
"If anything happens, send someone to the city and tell me, and I will allow you to do whatever it is related to the construction of the cemetery."
"Yes, sir."
After Xu Maocheng responded, he turned around and went to greet the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, telling them that they did not need to enter the city, and camped on the spot, and from this moment on, the construction of the cemetery was officially started.
Shao Xi watched Xu Maocheng get busy, then turned back to Xing Wenxin and asked, "Then Chen Mohuai and the others are now in the prison of Qingshan City?" ”
Xing Wenxin hurriedly replied: "Exactly, since the Punishment Department conveyed the will of the Holy Lord, Chen Mohuai and others were arrested and brought to justice, and they have been detained in Nafu Prison for several months, just waiting for Lord Shao to come, and everything is waiting for Lord Shao's fate." ”
Shao Xi was also very relieved of Xing Wenxin's ability to do things, so he nodded lightly and continued to ask, "How many people have been arrested this time?" Have all been convicted? ”
Xing Wenxin replied very seriously: "According to the will of the Holy Lord, all the officials in Qingshan County who are brought to justice are guilty of capital crimes, and according to the law, all the nine clans will be punished.
"At present, in addition to the people involved in the case, there are already more than 1,000 people with family members who have been arrested, and there is no way to close them in the government prison.
"The lower officials have detained all the elderly, weak, women and children in a prison camp on the outskirts of the city, and have made proper arrangements so that they are not mistreated."
Shao Xi was startled when he heard this number at first glance, this method of sitting alone was implicated in the crime of the nine clans, and the larger family was involved in hundreds of people.
There are many criminal officials in Qingshan County, and now more than 1,000 people are involved, how many people will be unlucky?
Although Shao Xi also understands that if he benefits from it, he has the reason to admit his guilt, but how many of the more than 1,000 people have benefited because of the corruption of these officials?
Isn't it unjust that those relatives of the side branches who know nothing about this matter are inexplicably dragged to death?
The matter looks debatable.
However, Xing Wenxin was very satisfied with the arrangements of these officials' relatives, and he was indeed very thoughtful, and he did not get angry with these innocent family members because of those who broke the law.
It seems that this trip is not as simple as I thought, so I should first go back to the city and discuss carefully with Xing Wenxin and other officials in Qingshan County how to deal with these people who are currently in custody.
That's more than a thousand! If it really had to land everyone's head, wouldn't this Qingshan City become a sea of corpses and blood?
Although Shao Xi hated those people and wanted to skin and brace them, he would not be angry with so many innocent people, if he really did this, wouldn't he become a murderer?
Thinking of Ye Ziyuan's tragic death at the hands of these people, Shao Xi still has hatred in his heart, but he can still tell who he wants to take revenge on.
For those who don't know, or can't help themselves, Shao Xi really can't do it.
Although it can't be said that one person does things and one person is responsible for it, it should not implicate so many people to come in.
Shao Xi is not particularly resistant to the method of joint sitting, after all, this can serve as a warning, so that people in various families can supervise each other and remind each other.
If someone violates the law, the people of the clan will also actively report it to the officials, which is to some extent a high-pressure means to promote social stability.
Let many people who have the idea of violating the law of the country be afraid and not take risks, but it can play a certain positive role in the stability of the people.
But everything must be measured, and involving so many people like this is by no means Shao Xi's original idea, it seems that many things in Qingshan County this time still need to be handled carefully.
Shao Xi came this time to get justice for Ye Ziyuan, but he didn't want to kill so many people to bury Ye Ziyuan, he believed that this was not what Ye Ziyuan wanted to see.
She was kind-hearted before her death, and she should never want to let so many people lose their lives because of herself.
