Chapter 457 Getting better(1/2)

It seems that Liang Ji was really hit hard by Li Yunxi this time. Not only did he not ask the question a third time, he intended to escape his death sentence.

Even when he was sentenced to death by Zhu Han, there was no reaction at all.

The officers and men of the Black Cavalry Army did not care who Liang Ji was.

Zhu Han gave the order, and the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army drove up Liang Ji and walked towards the execution ground.

Along the way, all the people watching the public trial cheered.

"Well done!"

"Finally someone can punish these corrupt officials."

"His Royal Highness is so wise, no wonder he is the King of England."

"Brother in front of you, if you don't know how to praise, you don't need to say anything."

Liang Ji was pressed on the execution platform in front of everyone.

The executioner took a sip of wine and sprayed it on the execution knife.

At this time, there is no need to look at the time or anything.

He raised the Ghost Head Sword high with both hands.

He raised the knife and dropped it, and Liang Ji's head rolled directly to the ground.

"good!"

I don't know who started it, but there was a roar of applause at the execution site.

When Liang Ji's head was brought to Zhu Han, he just glanced at it.

But it was Liang Ji who was destined to die, and he waved his hand impatiently: "What to do with the head, follow the previous rules, next."

I don’t know whether it was intentional or accidental, but this time, another official from the Ministry of Finance was pressed up.

When this guy came up, he was naturally just like Liang Ji and wanted to make excuses.

Zhu Han was too lazy to spend a lot of effort on such a person.

He turned his head and asked his bodyguard: "Didn't I just say that the people who have been wronged should report the crime directly?"

"Is there anything related to this guy?"

The guard didn't say much, and immediately went around to the places where the Black Cavalry had set up where reports could be made.

Soon the guard returned to Zhu Han: "Go back to your lord, there is nothing related to this guy."

When the Finance Ministry official heard this, he subconsciously raised his neck.

But he doesn't have to wait long to be proud.

Just listen to Zhu Han's dull voice: "Okay, let's check the accounts."

The proud smile of the Finance Ministry official disappeared in an instant.

The same process as the review of Liangji was used to directly bring over the financial department's work and related accounts that the official was responsible for.

Then things become simple.

close the door!

Let go...Li Yunxi!

In front of all the people, Li Yunxi calmly picked up the account and looked through it.

After watching, Li Yunxi directly stated the result: "Returning to the prince, among these accounts, there is a deficit of more than 30,000 taels of silver."

The people watching the public trial cursed angrily.

"This guy actually embezzled so much money."

When the officials from the Ministry of Finance heard this, they immediately began to question it.

But this time, before Zhu Han could speak, the people around him had already spoken.

"This accountant has a photographic memory, so don't embarrass yourself with this little trick of yours."

"In front of the prince's counting house, you monsters and monsters can no longer hide."

"It's useless to argue. The female accountant has a sharp eye. You guys can't hide it from him."

Zhu Han patted the gavel gently.

The sound was obviously not very loud, but the people around him fell silent instantly.

Immediately, Zhu Han sentenced him to death again.

Thirty thousand taels of silver may not be considered an attitude by the great names of later generations.

But now that the Ming Dynasty has just been founded, these 30,000 taels of silver are definitely a huge sum of money.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it is already extremely merciful to not skin these guys directly.

It wasn't until this moment that Xu Da suddenly realized: "So that's it. The reason why this kid Qiwu has been with Liang Ji for so long is because of the plan he has set up now."

Liu Song finally understood why Zhu Han had gone to great lengths to let Liang Ji compete with Li Yunxi again and again.

All the troubles before turned out to be preparations for this incident.

By now, Li Yunxi has become an absolute authority among the people watching the public trial.

Everyone knows that Li Yunxi has a photographic memory and has extremely amazing attainments in arithmetic.

No matter how complicated the accounts are, Li Yunxi can remember and calculate them immediately as long as he takes a look at them.

Moreover, it is also easy to find the amount of deficit in these accounts.

As for whether Li Yunxi really has this ability, it is not difficult for Liu Song to be completely sure.

But he knew one thing. In the eyes of the people watching the trial, Li Yunxi definitely had this ability.

And this is enough.

What Zhu Han needs is the attitude of the people on the scene.

As for what other people think, Zhu Han doesn't care.

Liu Song actually didn't agree with Zhu Han's approach.

However, he didn't say much.

Although there are some minor flaws in the procedures, the corruption of these guys is definitely real.

With the ability that Li Yunxi had shown before, even if she really couldn't fully calculate all the shortfalls in the accounts.

But given the approximate number of questions posted, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

Zhu Han did not wrongly accuse those people, nor did he kill innocent people indiscriminately.

If it were Zhu Yuanzhang, there would probably not be a few people left in the families of these two wives, Liang Ji and the Finance Ministry official.

Zhu Han has only beheaded two heads until now. For their families, the stolen money is only recovered, and other relevant participants are at best exiled and detained.

Because of Li Yunxi's existence and the previous competition between Zhu Han and Liang Ji.

When I reviewed the subsequent ones, the speed became faster and faster.

As long as an official is put on trial, there is no particularly difficult injustice to deal with.

Directly ask Li Yunxi to check the accounts and make sure they are accurate.

It may not take an official more than a quarter of an hour from the time he is brought to the public trial stage to the time the verdict is pronounced.

Because some departments do not have that many accounts relatively speaking.

And during the trial process, Zhu Han became more and more comfortable.

The first is that when an official is to be interrogated later, you can first check to see if anyone has sued him.

Then let the officers and men of the Black Cavalry Army go to the relevant yamen to retrieve the account books.

After the people arrive, just ask Li Yunxi to check the accounts on the spot.

And you don’t have to read them all.

Zhu Han taught Li Yunxi and said: "When you check the accounts, you only need to find out the death penalty standard, and let others calculate the rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Yunxi said crisply.

Therefore, Zhu Han almost turned today's public trial into an assembly line operation.

The most time-consuming thing among them was the time Li Yunxi spent looking at the account books.

The people watching the public trial cheered every time Zhu Han chopped off a head from the very beginning.

Later, I saw that I had become a little numb.

No matter what happens, it will no longer be strange the more you see it.

"Look, another one has been cut."

"Up to this point in the trial, there is not even one person who has not been beheaded. Is it true that none of our Yanjing officials are good?"
