"What else do you have to say?"

Gou Changqing was furious and shouted: "You still haven't recruited me from the truth!"

"Sir, I plead guilty."

"I am guilty, please give me a chance to repent and rehabilitate myself next time."

Li Xiao had already been recruited, what else could they say? They all pleaded guilty and begged for mercy, hoping that as many as thirteen people had committed the crime together, in the end, the law would not punish everyone, at least the guilt would be shared equally, and they would not be sentenced to death.

.

While the case was being tried, Liu Zhongyuan returned to Jingzhao Mansion after leaving the court, entered the lobby, and made inquiries to find out the reason for the matter.

Gou Changqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the chief officer, Liu Zhongyuan, was back, he could hide aside.

"Sir, how do you think this case will be judged?"

Liu Zhongyuan pondered for a moment and asked the criminals: "Who are the first and the last?"

How can you ask such a question when everyone is looking at each other?

Liu Zhongyuan's face suddenly darkened, and he said loudly: "Since you don't want to say anything, then drag him down and hit fifty boards first."

"Sir, it's Yao Hu and Di Sheng."

If you are already here to serve, why should you care about brotherly loyalty? Let’s protect ourselves first.

"Yao Hu, Disheng will stay, and the others will be escorted back to the prison."

Before Li Xiao left, he glanced at Chen Shishi affectionately. He wanted to say that he was not a bad person, but at this moment, in this situation, how could he say it?

Liu Zhongyuan then pointed at the two people and said coldly: "Take these two people down and hit fifty big boards each first."

"Sir, spare my life, spare your life!"

The two were dragged down while shouting.

Liu Zhongyuan took out the official white paper and finalized the case and sentenced the case. Thirteen people were all convicted of serious crimes and severely punished. Eleven of them were sentenced to exile in Lingnan and were not allowed to leave the exile without permission within ten years.

land, and the two people who were asked about the first and last people were directly sentenced to hanging and executed immediately.

Gou Changqing had a look of shock on his face and lost his voice: "Yao Hu is..."

Liu Zhongyuan waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said coldly: "I don't care whose son he is. Since he committed a crime, I must punish him. Otherwise, how can I comfort the spirit of the deceased in heaven?"

"My lord is saying that I don't dare to intercede." Gou Changqing lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. It is said that he is Jingzhao Shaoyin, only one level lower than Liu Zhongyuan. There is no need to be so afraid of him. Gou Changqing was born in the Han clan.

, just because he was handsome when he was young, he was lucky enough to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official, and he was able to climb to this position by flattering others and working hard for more than thirty years. And who is Liu Zhongyuan? He comes from a famous family and has been in the local area for a long time.

He was an official with outstanding political achievements and a high reputation. He was highly appreciated by Emperor Zhao Zhi. How could he be able to compare with his longevity? If no major accidents occur, it is very possible for Liu Zhongyuan to enter the political affairs hall and become the prime minister in the future. Therefore, he

Although Liu Zhongyuan took office in Jingzhao Mansion for a short period of time, Gou Changqing, as a local snake, was always obedient and did not dare to offend easily.

Li Xun was puzzled and said: "Master Liu, thirteen people were involved, why did you only sentence the first and last people to death, because you are not afraid that these two people will be dissatisfied?"

"What's the objection?"

Liu Zhongyuan said coldly: "The first person to act should be the culprit. Without him taking the lead, others may not dare to act rashly. As for the last person, when he stepped forward to rape, if the woman was still alive,

Even if he died because of him, if he was already dead, even the body would not be spared. It would be worse than a beast. If he adds guilt to crime, he would be sentenced to hanging and his body would be left intact. I am already trying to be more generous."

Li Xun's face was full of admiration, but Liu Zhongyuan was not simple. He bowed and said sincerely: "Your Excellency is wise."

"Thank you, sir, for upholding justice and avenging my sister..."

Feier's face was filled with tears and she kowtowed repeatedly.

Liu Zhongyuan sighed: "I mourn the dead, but take care of the living!"

Li Xun remained silent. Among the vast majority of people living in this era, how many can really take care of themselves?

When the matter was over, Li Xun sent Chen Shishi and others out of Jingzhao Mansion.

"Thank you, General Li. I just need to say a word. Mayfair is willing to be a cow or a horse, and I have already repaid you."

Fei'er was extremely grateful to Li Xun and wanted to kneel down and kowtow.

Li Xun quickly supported her and offered words of comfort.

Chen Shishi saw the two people having close contact from the side. For some reason, she felt a little sour in her heart and said angrily: "Li Xun, Fei'er wants to work for you. I'm afraid you are extremely happy and willing."

Fei'er is a bit young, only fourteen years old, but judging from her facial features, in a few years, she will definitely become a beautiful beauty again.

Li Xun laughed twice, let go of Fei'er's hand, and laughed: "What did Miss Shishi say? How can I, Li Xun, be the kind of person who wants to repay a favor?"

Chen Shishi hummed and said, "I know very well who you are."

Li Xun could only smile bitterly. He didn't know where he offended Chen Shishi, but he always made sarcastic remarks to himself.

Xia Zhi didn't want to see Li Xun in trouble, so she took Chen Shishi's hand and persuaded her: "General Li took the initiative to help Fei'er without expecting anything in return. He must be a good person. Sister, please stop saying such nasty things."

Chen Shishi glanced at Xia Zhi in surprise, and then said angrily: "You are all good people, but I am the bad guy. My sister always speaks for Li Xun, but she falls in love with him? Anyway, Baihuayuan is over, and my sister doesn't need to go back.

Li Xun is not married yet, so why not let him take you back home? With your sister's appearance, Li Xun will definitely love you very much."

"Sister, why do you say such things and make your sister so embarrassed?"

Xia Zhi's face flushed red, and she pulled Chen Shishi reluctantly. At the same time, she secretly glanced at Li Xun. Xia Zhi had a very good sense of Li Xun. First, Baihualou came forward. This time, she took the initiative to help without expecting anything in return. Age

He became a general at a young age. Any woman would be tempted by such a man.

Li Xun also didn't expect Chen Shishi to say such words. He almost choked on his own saliva. His whole face was red, and he waved his hands: "You have been busy all morning and you are tired. Go back and rest early. I have official duties."

Since I am here, I won’t send it to you.”

After that, Li Xun ran into Jingzhao Mansion as if he was running away.

Chen Shishi said dissatisfied: "You said you would be responsible to the end, but you ran away first. You are a bad person and a liar."

Xia Zhi lowered his head and felt a little disappointed. Chen Shishi made jokes several times. Although there was some joking in it, Li Xun always avoided it and did not make any attitude. From this, it can be seen that he really has no feelings for himself.

Or maybe you feel that your background is too dirty.

Seeing that Xia Zhi was in a low mood, Chen Shishi blamed herself for being too talkative and always making fun of her. In the end, the joke was not funny at all.

"Sister, it's all my fault for talking nonsense and making fun of you. However, I'm afraid Baihuayuan won't be able to turn over after this difficulty. This is an excellent opportunity for you. You don't have to hang around in this kind of place anymore. Now you have recovered.

As a free person, why not find a good man to marry and live a normal life?"

Xia Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Who would want a woman like us? Today I entered the government again and spread the news. I'm afraid rumors will spread all over the sky again. I don't have any hope. I have saved some money in the past few years. I want to find someone."

Let’s live alone!”

Chen Shishi said: "My sister really doesn't like Li Xun at all? Although I have only met him a few times, I can still see that he is very responsible and a person who can be trusted."

The summer solstice is silent, the falling flowers are purposeful and the water is ruthless, but there is nothing to be done about it.

Chen Shishi smiled bitterly, saying something wrong again. She took Xia Zhi's hand and said with a smile: "Li Xun is a careless person and has no serious attitude all day long. If you really get together with him, I'm afraid it will hurt you.

"

Xia Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "My sister said this now and then said that. My sister is very confused."

"Sister, I'm just joking with you."
