In just one day and one night, Luo Fan found out the Tao Feng case, and in the school field of the Janissary Criminal Division, he tried all the more than 300 people involved in the Tao Feng case in public. In the early morning of the next day, on the top of the political hall, Luo Fan presented the file and the verdict, and Li Benxin read it carefully, and inevitably applauded:

"Good! Well checked, well judged, well judged! It's not a loss that the thunder is always arrested, I heard about your public trial yesterday. It is said to be wonderful, witnessed by hundreds of officials at the scene, Tao Feng confessed to the crime he committed, and confessed the crime in detail. Most of the other criminals also pleaded guilty, and a few of them were dissatisfied, and they were also refuted one by one by your ironclad evidence. You can investigate the case in one day, and the evidence is conclusive, no one has any objections, no one has mistakes or omissions, and you have really fulfilled your promise. Luofan, you are worthy of being the first person in the ages. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any objections to the verdict, you can raise them in public. ”

The officials of the inner and outer government looked at each other and gave their hands one after another: "The ministers have no objections. ”

"Good! So it came according to the judgment of the mortal. Luofan, the case is investigated by you, and you are also tried, then the execution will also be handed over to you. You say, when is the right time to carry out the death penalty of Tao Feng? Li Benxin looked at Luo Fan and asked.

"Back to the king of Tiandu, today is a good day! One day of investigation, one day of trial, one day of killing! The speed of lightning can shock the corrupt officials in the world! Luo Fan shouted loudly!

"What! Kill today! It's also too fast. From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a reason. The officials in the hall were shocked again, it only took three days from the investigation to the conclusion of the execution, such a speed, which made Wen feel horrified, this is not a chance for the Tao family to turn over.

Sima Yue and the others were also shocked, Kou Ling couldn't help touching the sweat on his forehead, and said to himself: "This thing is a hell to run out of hell and kill the gods, one day to investigate, one day to judge, one day to kill!" It's terrifying to hear. ”

Li Benxin was stunned for a moment, and patted his thigh: "Okay!" Luofan's move is indeed not a loss in the name of the thunder chief god catch. Then kill it today, I want everyone in the world to see how my Tiandu Dynasty treats those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. From now on, it doesn't matter if you are a prince or a prince, as long as you dare to violate the law of the country, you will not be merciful! ”

At this time, Luo Fan said in the book again: "Qiyu Tiandu King, Weichen has two more things to Qiqi." First of all, although Tao Feng's sin is unforgivable, he and other family members confess their sins sincerely and do not hide it. And the Tao family is the Holy Ancestor King personally named the Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tianqing. Tao sealed the book, and his father and son were guilty and deserved to die. I implore the king of Tiandu to recite the merits of his ancestors, remove the Tao family's foreign affairs secretary Tianqing from the position, demote him to the position of Sanpin Marquis, and inherit it by his innocent grandson Tao Yi, and let the innocent heirs of the Tao family move to Huacheng to settle down. ”

The officials discussed again, Wu Sanwen looked back at Xue Yang and smiled: "Bad things have been done, and good things have been done again." This Luo Fan is really incomprehensible. ”

Li Benxin thought seriously for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!" Tao Feng's father and son are extremely sinful, but they do sincerely repent this time, and they should take care of the kindness of their ancestors and my Tiandu Dynasty. In this way, I took Tao Yi as the Marquis of Sanpin Pingliang and asked him to take the innocent people of the Tao family to settle in Huacheng. What do the ministers think? ”

A group of officials immediately bowed again: "The king of Tiandu is benevolent and righteous, and we admire him." ”

Li Benxin then asked: "What about the second thing you want to play?" ”

Luo Fan said again: "Tao Feng and his comrades are very corrupt, damaging the majesty of our Tiandu Dynasty. There are many rumors among the people outside, and this matter should be announced to the world. And Weichen suggested that the private salt and tea confiscated by the Tao family be distributed to the people of Longcheng for free to reassure the people. ”

The ministers were discussing again, and Li Benxin smiled even more appreciatively: "Okay, thoughtful." Indeed, the people should be made aware of everything. Then the king ordered that tomorrow the method of salt and tea, the people of Longcheng can receive three taels of salt and three taels of tea per household, and this matter will be handled by the local yamen. In addition, Tao Feng and his party confiscated a lot of gold and silver. The vault of Tianbao Division was stolen, and now it is being rectified, so all the gold and silver will be stored in Tianqing Mansion for safekeeping. Moreover, all the ministries of Longcheng have merit in this case, and all Longcheng officials can receive three times the amount of silver at the end of the month. ”

"Thank you for the reward, thank you for the king!" The ministers immediately bowed again.

"See, a Tao family died, the king of Tiandu was full, the people of Longcheng also got free salt and tea, and even the big and small officials also benefited. The king of Tiandu really played a good chess hand, so I am afraid that everyone in Longcheng will say that the Tao family died well. Kou Ling gave a salute while muttering to Qiao Bafang.

"yes, scary. Fortunately, this time it is a pottery seal, if you and I can copy it, who can stop it. wiped a potter completely in three days, this falling fan is really terrifying. Let's make plans early, and we must not follow the old road of Tao Feng. Qiao Bafang said helplessly.

After everyone finished giving the salute, Li Benxin looked at Luo Fan and smiled: "Luo Fan, you have made a lot of contributions." It's a pity that you've been promoted a few levels in a row, and this king can't reward you anymore. You keep working hard and get the errand done. In the next world meeting, if you make more contributions, I will reward you together. ”

"Thank you to the king of Tiandu, it is the duty of a courtier to serve the king of Tiandu. As long as the king of Tiandu orders, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, Luofan will never retreat! ”

……

The meeting was dismissed early, and everyone was jubilant, and some rabbits died and foxes were sad. The Tao family has such a big family business, so easily disappeared from the court, who can not sigh when they hear it. Many officials returned to their homes, hurriedly changed into civilian clothes, and all of them gathered around Dongjie to watch the killings.

In the forbidden army's punishment house, Tao Feng was in a melancholy prison, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and he saw Luo Fan coming with a golden guard.

"Thunder is always a god catch, what does the king of Tiandu say? Do we still have a chance to live? Tao Feng looked at Luo Fan and asked expectantly.

"What do you say? The king of Tiandu has already ordered Tao Feng and the others to be escorted to Dongjie and beheaded immediately! Master Tao, you're on your way. Luo Fan said coldly.

"Ah, so fast! How so, why is it going to be executed now? If only I could live a few more days. Tao Feng collapsed to the ground in an instant, his strength was drawn like a puddle of mud, and he let his instincts howl and cry.

"Tao Feng, how many lives have you harmed in your life. Don't they want to live? At the beginning, your grandson Tao Zhili raped and insulted the people's girls on the street. Afterwards, you put Xu Yang in prison and killed the woman. How much has your Tao family done for such a thing? Now that you are dead, it is time for you to pay back, what do you have to be wronged! Luo Fan was unceremonious and rebuked loudly.

"That's right! You're right, I deserve it. I regret that I shouldn't have done it at the beginning, if it wasn't for Sima Yue who pulled me into the game, how could there be the disaster of my Tao family today. Sima Yue has given me more than ten years of glory, but it has also caused my family to be ruined. However, I can't complain about her, she just released the devil in my heart, and the devil is in my own heart, and I deserve to die. Wait, what did you promise me? My little grandchildren, have you kept them? Tao Feng cried for a while, and suddenly got up again and asked Luo Fan.

"The king of Tiandu agreed, named your grandson Tao Yi as the Marquis of Pingliang, and asked him to take the rest of your family members to settle in Huacheng. This is the decree, see for yourself. ”

Tao Feng took the holy decree, looked at it carefully several times, tears flowed out again, and he cried and laughed: "Good, good!" This is great, my Tao family's bloodline has not been broken, so it's good. I just hope that they will be safe in the future and not follow my old path again. Thank you, Mr. Luo, you really believe in your word. ”

Luo Fan took the holy decree and said, "Don't worry, I will send a team of masters to personally escort your grandson to Huacheng." As long as they are honest and responsible, they will naturally be able to live a stable life in the future. Now, you write a suicide note to Tao Yi, and I will give it to him for you. ”

"Thank you, thank you, I'll write it." Tao Feng took the pen and paper handed by Jin Jiawei, knelt on the ground, and began to write.

Look at his sideburns are scattered, his hair is pale, and there are two lines of bitter tears in the corners of his eyes, stained with yellow paper. wiped a handful of tears, but he couldn't wipe them away, so he could only cry and write with trembling hands. A masterpiece, with infinite attachment to life and infinite care for the back, Tao Feng hopes that this attachment can be infinitely long, and this care can be infinitely deep. Only those who are before the execution ground have such urgent reluctance and unwillingness.

After writing the letter, Tao Feng folded it neatly, sent it to Luo Fan's hands, touched a handful of tears with his hands full of mud, and cried: "I'm tired." ”

Luo Fan put away the letter, turned around and said, "Freshen up Master Tao and prepare for the road." ”

The chains clanged, the handcuffs swayed, and the thirty-nine condemned prisoners slowly walked out of their cells. Seeing that their faces were full of sorrow, their hearts were full of fear, their legs and feet were weak, and their eyes were like wandering birds. Before their deaths, they were either high-ranking officials or powerful in a place, but now they have no former vigor, only one name, fear!

When I came to the East Street Execution Ground, I saw the lively people, and there were crowds of people. Just hearing that Yipin Tianqing's beheading was enough to attract good deeds from dozens of miles away to come and watch.

In the center of the execution ground, thirty-nine people were standing, already slightly crowded.

Yu Feiqi, the general of the forbidden army, walked in front of Luo Fan and asked, "Thunder is always captured, there are too many thirty-nine people, and the venue is too small." How about three decapitations. ”

Luo Fan thought about it and shook his head and said, "Let the people back down, or a batch of execution." If it is divided into three batches, the person who performs later will have to suffer one or two more fears. Although they are prisoners, there is no need to add to their suffering. ”

Yu Feiqi was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that Living Yama still had such a kind side, but it was obvious that he sent these people to the guillotine. I don't understand, Yu Feiqi still ordered someone to clear the venue.

The venue was cleared, and a group of condemned prisoners knelt on the ground, shivering, and even a few of them had wet their pants, and the yellow water was dripping, but the fear at this time had already drowned the shame without a trace. Luo Fan waved his hand and ordered the guards to bring two jars of wine and pour a large bowl of wine in front of all the prisoners.

Then, shouting: "People live a lifetime, do something, and don't do something." If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences. In this life, you are a person who walks wrongly, and after drinking this bowl of wine, I hope you will follow the right path in the next life! Drink, this is what Lord Ben has invited you, and if you are dissatisfied in the underworld, go to the true Yama and sue me for a mortal situation. ”

The prisoners trembled and picked up their wines, looked left and right, and hurriedly began to drink. This bowl of wine may give them more courage and less pain from breaking their heads.

Tao Feng drank a bowl of wine in one go, choking and coughing, tears and saliva mixed together. looked up at Luo Fan and cried: "Good wine!" Can you bring me another bowl, I still want to say a few words to my children and grandchildren. ”
