There are nine people seated in the room.

Three of them were surnamed Hong, and there was an additional Qiude standing behind Hong Sheng.

After the death of the Li family, the distribution of strength in Jinhai City was exactly like this.

Everyone sat down, and Gongsun Shi was the first to speak.

"I have already reported this incident to the state department of this hospital with a carrier pigeon a few days ago."

In the territory of Dahua, all martial arts offenders are under the jurisdiction of the Zhangwu Yuan.

Especially for a top-level anti-thief like the Heaven Turning Society, the general institutions of the imperial court are not capable of restraining it at all.

"There are no carrier pigeons to Gimhae from the state department, and the reply is estimated to arrive tomorrow, but there must be a response."

He went on to explain.

Jinhai City is 1,200 miles away from Xijing, and it takes about 256 hours for carrier pigeons to travel each way.

The Imperial Court Kumon Post Road will be a little slower, but it will not take more than three days.

"Xiao Twelve is an important prisoner, and according to convention, there is no need for someone to escort Jinhai here."

"I guess the state ministry will send a subordinate Tiqi to come and bring back the prisoners."

"When the two thieves, one dead and one alive, are brought back to Xijing, this matter will be considered a complete merit."

After listening to Gongsun Shi's report, everyone bowed their heads silently, and they all felt a lot more relaxed.

After him, Jung Joon raised the second matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Li Heming's legacy still exists with me."

He looked at the crowd and asked.

"What do you think should be done?"

Generally speaking, the deceased is naturally sent back to their own home.

However, the Li family is still guilty and in a state of residential surveillance, and they are neither capable nor qualified to take care of the aftermath of the former patriarch.

"The great sin of the alien race is cremation."

Ren Yuanlong said.

No one chimed in.

The custom of Dahua is burial.

For ordinary people, cremation and the scattering of ashes almost mean the same thing.

Except for the children of Shamen, who pay attention to the emptiness of the four major emptiness, and the bottom of the society who are too poor to afford the cost of burial, no one will choose cremation.

"You don't have to do that, do you?"

Cui Jiayan couldn't help but say.

"How many years have we known him......"

This "he" of course refers to Li Heming.

Cui Jiayan is forty-five this year, four years younger than Li Heming.

The relationship between the two back then was just comparable to Cui Yutang Hongfan at this time.

Although they are the sons of large families, the Cui family has always been a loyal friend and admirer of the Li family.

And after seeing the latter beat his peers in Liangzhou and hang high on the list of heavenly pride, this worship reached its peak.

Even today, it has not faded.

"Let's settle in the ground."

Chi Chaiyuan said softly.

Including Hong Wu, several people echoed it.

"It's not impossible to be buried."

Seeing this, Gongsun Shi interjected.

"But Li Heming has committed a heinous crime, and he will inevitably be expelled from the Li family tree, and he will not be buried in the family grave or sacrificed."

He spoke sternly.

It is the duty of the Martial Arts Academy to deter the warriors with punishment.

Everyone else here can remember the old feelings, but the military supervisor cannot.

The crowd had nothing to say and acquiesced in this disposition.

This brings us to the third thing.

"The things that were copied from the Li family have been counted."

This time it was Ren Yuanlong who spoke.

"Because I am ready to relocate, this time the collection is relatively refreshing."

"A total of thirty-two thousand three hundred and fifty taels of silver, plus other goods, the total is about ninety-seven thousand taels."

All of them are the powerful figures of Jinhai City, and they are still suppressed by this number.

Counting the old mansion and other real estate of the Li family that have not yet been realized, 100,000 taels is equivalent to more than half of the Li family's assets.

[This should be the accumulation of several generations of the Li family. 】

Hong Fan thought.

If such a big thing is committed, the innocent people under the head may live.

But the tree fell, the monkey king died, and the monkeys had to pay a price.

"According to the criminal law, the property obtained from the raid shall be returned to the household department."

Zheng Zhun cleared his throat and said.

"And the Showu Academy."

He glanced at Gongsun Shi and added.

"However, this case involves a wide range of people, and it depends on the efforts of all families, so it is natural to set aside part as compensation."

"One of the most important things I invite you here today is to set a distribution plan."

The words of the city guard made Hong Sheng stunned.

Since ancient times, once a criminal family is copied, the property must be taken from above.

I don't know where to start with this "compensation".

And Hong Fan naturally understood.

According to the law, Gimhae did not have the right to dispose of the windfall.

But people are flexible.

At this time, what Ren Yuanlong said was that it was 100,000 taels that were copied out.

At that time, Zheng Zhun may only report 50,000, or even 30,000 taels.

Shenjing is too far away from Xiliang, and none of those big people who are high above the ministry hall may even have heard of the Jinhai Li clan, and no one will thanklessly send someone from afar to confirm.

[It turns out that there is such a thing today. 】

Hong Fan was stunned.

[No wonder Hong Li didn't come himself, and asked Qiude to come over. 】

[In terms of family finances, Qiude is undoubtedly a professional......]

As he thought so, Hong Wu had already spoken his mouth.

"The original clues of this case were discovered by Hong Fan."

"The two of them are locked by him."

"The finishing layout is also from him."

"In the specific implementation, my eldest brother is in the first place, and my Hong family Zhu Yiqi has also made great efforts."

"Please consider it."

Hong Wu's words are conclusive, and he is right.

Just listening to his words, if the Hong family doesn't take half of the 100,000 taels, it's simply intolerable.

"Hong Fanxian's nephew has made great contributions, I didn't say it."

Liao Zhenghao said, and then the conversation changed.

"But merit is merit, and there will be rewards from above."

"What Master Zheng said just now is a reward ......"

The room suddenly became lively.

When it comes to money, even Chi Chaiyuan, who has always talked little, has become sharp-tongued, where can you still see that he has a relativeness when he talks about Li Heming's future?

Hong Sheng sat silently on the side, and for a moment he felt as if there were a different people in the room.

After discussing for half an hour, everyone had a preliminary intention.

The Hong family can get nearly 30% of the goods.

Hongwu was basically satisfied with this.

Then Jung Joon raised the fourth item.

"Xiao Twelve's bones are quite hard, and he still refuses to confess."

He shouted to the guards outside.

After a while, a middle-aged head catcher with a goatee arrived in the hall.

This person is Tian Liu, who was in charge of Fang Zhiwu's case and arraigned Hong Fan.

"Lord Zheng, Lord Hong......"

Tian Liuyi first made a formal salute to the two top bosses when he entered the door, and then bowed to the other five big men.

Until he turned to Hong Fan, he changed it to a particularly solemn title.

"Hong Fan Gongzi."

His tone was affectionate and respectful, and even a little bit of liver and brain.

"This person is Tian Liutian's head catcher, and he is the most powerful in the government office."

Zheng Zhun introduced.

"Xiao Twelve has been in charge of interrogation for the past few days."

He also saw that Tian Liududu's attitude towards Hong Fan was different, and he was slightly surprised.

Even more surprised was Hong Wu.

He is Tian Liu's boss, has known and worked together for many years, and knows him very well.

But now he inexplicably felt that his subordinates seemed to respect Hong Fan a little more than he did for himself.
