Chapter 363: Public Trial of Tao Feng Case

Everyone was surprised, they didn't know why Xue Yang and Luo Fan had a falling out, and why Xue Yang refused Luo Fan's order so much.

Luo Fan was not annoyed, pointed to the golden dragon card on his waist with his finger, and said with a smile: "Xue Xiang, I have this golden dragon card in my hand, and I haven't used it yet." I don't want one of my orders to be given to you. Let Xie Xu and them go with me, it's late for a while, and the suspect should run away. ”

Xue Yang was so angry that he was dumbfounded, and Xie Xu looked at Xue Yang: "Master, shall we go?" ”

"The king's order cannot be violated, go, pay attention to protect the juniors!" Xue Yang could only say helplessly.

Waiting for Xie Xu and the others to leave, Ji Cheng smiled and said, "I said Xue Laosan, don't take it too seriously." In this world, only people like Luo Fan can mix well. Now he is the henchman of the King of Tiandu, and he is the most powerful weapon of the King of Tiandu, if you oppose him, you can only meet and break the bloodstream. This world belongs to the king of Tiandu, what does the king of Tiandu want to do, where can you stop it. ”

Xue Yang sighed and said, "I am worried about him for the Tiandu Dynasty and Li Benxin. Li Ben wanted to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, but he was too underestimated. I didn't really perceive Luofan's ambitions. If the Li family is really defeated in this generation, then I, as a military minister, will be to blame. ”

"I think the opposite of you. Luofan's ambition is not for himself, but for the world. And although Li Benxin is the king, he is only for his own selfish interests. What a pity is there for a decaying dynasty, a selfish king, to be replaced in the end. Moreover, there is no sign of a usurpation of the throne. Even if he really wants to, I believe that with your ability, it can be completely stopped. ”

No one could have imagined that Luo Fan boasted that he would try the Tao Feng case in one day, and it was really not untargeted. At dinner, Dragon City launched a thunderous arrest operation. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Divine Capture Division and the Praetorian Guard ran around Longcheng, arresting dozens of officials according to the list given by Tao Feng, and several major gangs involved were also wiped out at the same time. For a time, the wind in Longcheng was tight, and the officials who had dealings with the four major families in the past were all in danger. In the past, they thought that the four major families could protect them, so they all devoted themselves to serving, but now they gradually understood in their hearts that the four major families were not too far away from collapse.

Early the next morning, the king of Tiandu did not hold a court meeting. Because there were too many officials who came to take leave yesterday, they all wanted to see how Luo Fan interrogated Tao Feng and how the case was closed. Even Xue Yang went to the Forbidden Army Criminal Division to watch the interrogation process. He also wanted to see how Luo Fan could try such a huge and complicated case in one day.

The Forbidden Army Criminal Division, which specializes in interrogating first-class officials and the royal family. In the past, it didn't open a few times a year. As soon as it opened this time, it was unusual. Almost half of the officials in the court came, some of them were watching the excitement, some were afraid of what Tao Feng would say, and some were observing, observing what Luo Fan could do this time, and how far he could go.

There were too many people arrested and too many people who were interrogated, so Luo Fan set up the lobby in the school yard outside the Criminal Division. And it was very sweet, sent chairs and snacks to all the officials. Luo Fan was sitting on a big chair at this time, resting with his eyes closed. With such a big case, he was also busy all night last night. To his left and right sat more than a dozen officials of the Divine Capture Division, who had also stayed awake all night, and there were still a mountain of case materials on the ground. And this information was only collected yesterday and one day.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Luo Fan opened his eyes, yawned, stretched, slapped the table and said, "Let's start the trial." Bring all the prisoners with you. ”

The leader of the Praetorian Guard immediately went to the prison to escort the prisoner out. After a while, a group of prisoners came like a long dragon.

"So much! This was all caught yesterday? With so many prisoners, can the trial be completed in one day? It will take at least half a year to collect evidence alone. What the hell is this Luofan doing? Kou Ling stood up with his big belly in his hands, looking at the hundreds of prisoners from a distance, and his heart was also weak.

"You don't have to worry about it, let's see what he does. If you sing it, let's cheer him on, and if you sing it, we'll push him to hell. Qiao Bafang looked calm, holding a small teapot and sneering.

When the personnel arrived, more than 300 people knelt neatly on the ground, Luo Fan stood up, glanced back at Qiu Guang, the second grade god of the Heavenly Soldier Mansion of the Outer Mansion, and said with a smile: "Qiu Shen Arrest, then I will start to ask about the case." Do you want to say a few words? ”

Qiu Guangnai is Sima Yue's confidant, he is low-key, wise and introverted, and he always has a modest and polite attitude when dealing with people, even the people in the inner mansion can't find fault with him on weekdays. Seeing him stand up, he said with a smile: "Although this time it is a joint trial by the internal and external governments, the case is investigated by the chief god, and I have no use of my strength." You are trying the case, and I am watching. If you need my help, just say it. ”

"Okay, then I'll start, please take a seat." Luo Fan said with a smile.

After saying that, Luo Fan slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Today, this official is ordered to interrogate the case of Tao Feng of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and all those who are present and watching must not make trouble or mix it. Anyone involved in the case must not lie or conceal it. Otherwise, they will be severely punished. Now, the official reads out the charges against the Tao family and a group of cadres. Yipin Tianqing Tao Feng committed 48 major crimes such as smuggling tea and salt, colluding with cults, murder, abuse of power, favoritism, embezzlement of people's property, rape and humiliation of people's daughters, etc., because there are too many crimes, all of which are capital crimes, so I will not describe them one by one. Tao Feng's eldest son, Tao Yi, will not describe all the 48 major crimes such as smuggling tea and salt, colluding with cults, murder, abuse of power, favoritism, and embezzlement of famous property. The youngest son, Tao Xiang, grandson Tao Qianji, Tao Baiwen, and 19 Tao's male Ding, all committed 25 major crimes such as smuggling, murder, and embezzlement of civilian property. In addition, there are 39 officials under the Department of Foreign Affairs of Tao Feng, and 28 relevant personnel from the four major prefectures of Longcheng. And Tao Feng Hu from the gang, Tianwu Gang, Flying Bear Gang, Muliang Gang gang leaders and hall masters 56 people, together participated in Tao Feng selling tea and salt, murder and other crimes, each with 35 major crimes. Next, the case will be questioned, and Tao Feng will start the trial. ”

When the officials present heard this, they were all in an uproar, and in just one night, Luo Fan actually investigated the Tao Feng case so clearly. I have to admire his quick action, but Tao Feng and these people are all guilty of exterminating the clan, can they confess? Can this case be easily closed?

After Luo Fan finished reading it, he sat down on the big chair and looked at Tao Feng and said, "Master Tao can hear clearly, whether you admit guilt or sue for injustice." In this public trial, you can speak freely. ”

Tao Feng knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "The old man has a lot of crimes, and there is no room for argument, so he is willing to tell all the past crimes." ”

"Well, it's a pleasure. You are happy, and I am easy to talk. Come on, bring tables and chairs to Master Tao, and serve a pot of hot tea, let's talk slowly. "Luofan.

Soon, Jin Jiawei brought a table and chairs, as well as hot tea and snacks, and Tao Feng was helped up and sat on the chair with great difficulty. It's not that he's tired, but that he feels like his whole heart is tired and can't move. Yesterday night, he thought of his life hundreds of times in his mind. And he came to the conclusion with only two words: it's not worth it.

As the Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tianqing, he enjoyed all the glory in his life, but when he died, he felt that his life was empty and boring. The money and beauty of the past are really like a cloud of smoke, worthless, and they are leaving quickly.

"In this case, how to return the refreshments, I really know how to do tricks." Qiao Bafang frowned.

Sima Yue snorted coldly on the side: "This is the power of Luofan, he knows how to play with people's hearts." For a damned person like Tao Feng, having such a pomp before death can be regarded as a life in vain. When you and I die, if you can have such treatment, it will be considered a god's favor. ”

"Hehe, Sima Tianqing is really good at joking. We live a long life. It should be them who should be damned then. "Joe Bafang.

Tao Feng took a sip of tea, calmed his mind, and said: "I have done a lot of evil in my life, and I can't complain about others anymore. Now that I'm asked to talk about my sins, I don't know how to open my mouth. ”

Luo Fan said: "Then let's start with when you started selling illicit salt." ”

Hearing this, Tao Feng began to recall, and then as if contemplative, he said the past: "My Tao Feng was a rough boy, and my father died early. Because I was young, my second uncle temporarily acted as Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Later, in order for his son to inherit the position of Tianqing, he often harmed me. My mother took me away from life in Dragon City for my sake. At that time, our mother and son lived a difficult life, and we often suffered from cold and hunger. When I was sixteen years old, my second uncle died, and the king of Tiandu sent someone to find me and appoint me as the secretary of foreign affairs, so that I could have a stable life. At that time, I was grateful to the king of heaven and swore to serve the court. But I never thought that the court was a bottomless pool of muddy water, I had no extraordinary talent, and I had no extraordinary background, so I could only survive in the cracks, and no one dared to offend. It's been more than 30 years. It wasn't until I met someone who showed me the charm of money and power, and she showed me the joy of living for oneself. I woke up to the fact that the world is so chaotic that those who are above can exploit and oppress those who are in higher positions at will, and those who are in higher positions are desperately trying to climb up in order to be the ones who are in charge. And I was born to be superior, so why can't I live happily? So, I also began to learn to drill camps and learn to have fun. When people abandon their morality and conscience, sometimes it is so simple that one side of the door is light and the other side is permanent darkness, and once you cross it, it is difficult to turn back. ”

"Hey, hey! Master Tao, don't digress. I asked you to talk about selling illicit salt, why did you still become a thinker? Get to the point. Luo Fan listened with a blank look and interrupted.
