Chapter 1110 The tyranny of the red-clothed messenger
After Chen Yuan was carried out, Qin Qiaoer glanced at the other officials from the Chuzhou Chief Secretary and the Demon Suppression Department in the mission room, and said coldly:
"It seems that in the past few years, our red-clothed envoys have come to Chuzhou for inspections too few times, which makes you almost forget our authority and actually want to steal people from our hands. In the future, we will do this in Chuzhou
We often send people here to inspect, so that what happened here in Shi Nan Mansion cannot happen again!"
Li Zhenggang, the counselor to the Chief Secretary of Chuzhou, cursed Chen Yuan bloody in his heart. Not only did he not help Chen Yuan in interceding, but he also hurriedly tried to distance himself from him.
"Two commanders, we did not know what Chen Yuan did before. It is his personal behavior and has nothing to do with our Chief Secretary of Chuzhou."
Qin Shaoyou said with a smile: "Whether it matters or not, the trial will tell. Counselor Li, don't worry, our red-clothed envoys will not unjustly accuse good people, but we will not let bad people go either."
Li Zhenggang looked at his smile and felt horrified. At the same time, he felt that he could not see through this person. Before he could reply, he heard Qin Qiaoer continue to play dirty: "If you are dissatisfied with our actions, you can go to us.
"
Hearing this, Li Zhenggang and others hurriedly said with a smile: "The two commanders are upright and upright. It's too late for us to admire them, so how can we be dissatisfied?"
Who doesn't know that the red-clothed messenger is the emperor's personal soldier? Even within the Demon Suppression Department, he has a transcendent status. He has the responsibility of patrolling the place and supervising the officials.
Not to mention that this time, there is indeed something wrong with their Chuzhou officialdom. If they really want to take the book, I don’t know who the unlucky person will be in the end.
After all, the butts of officials like them are not very clean.
It is precisely because of this that Li Zhenggang, as a councilor, although his rank is higher than Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, he does not dare to show off in front of them, and even has to smile with him.
"As long as you are not dissatisfied." The smile on Qin Shaoyou's face did not diminish, and he continued: "My lords, you have come at the right time. We are preparing to conduct a public trial and execution of Li Tingfang tomorrow. You just represent the Chuzhou government and the Demon Suppression Department, and
Let’s have a three-division review.”
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenggang and others' expressions froze slightly.
"Public trial and execution? This...isn't this not good? After all, Li Tingfang is an official of the imperial court. If he is punished by public trial, what will be the dignity of the government?"
Qin Shaoyou burst out laughing and said sarcastically: "All the people in Shi Nan Mansion already know what Li Tingfang has done. The government's face has been completely ruined by him. If it is a public trial and execution, it can be saved a little bit."
Son. Otherwise, ordinary people have nothing to do. If Ke Juren’s family members go to the capital to complain, you will all have to follow suit. And when we talk about this matter now, we are not discussing it with you, but just informing you. Whether you agree or not,
The public trial and execution will be held tomorrow."
"this……"
Li Zhenggang and others looked at each other, but they couldn't think of a reason to stop them.
After all, the red-clothed envoy is indeed qualified to execute anyone involved in the murder of demons and ghosts, even officials. It is already a great honor to be able to bring them to a joint trial of the three divisions.
At this moment, a messenger in red strode into the mission room and reported to Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer:
"The man named Chen recruited him. He said that before he left, he was approached by several family members who claimed to be Li Tingfang. They gave him a sum of money and asked him to help fish out Li Tingfang. The worst he could do was to take Li Tingfang away.
The state capital said that as long as Li Tingfang is not in our hands, they will have a way to get him out."
"You dare to accept this money. It seems that Director Chen has done similar things before."
Qin Qiaoer snorted coldly and looked at Li Zhenggang.
"Counsellor Li, what Chen Yuan is involved in is corruption, bribery and abuse of power. I will leave it to you to handle."
Li Zhenggang looked solemn, and responded with cupped hands: "Two commanders, please rest assured that we will deal with it impartially and will never let anyone who is corrupt and perverts the law go free!"
He knew very well that although the other party handed over Chen Yuan to them, they certainly did not abandon him.
If they show any favoritism or bend the law in their treatment of Chen Yuan, they will probably suffer the same fate as Chen Yuan.
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer did not embarrass the officials in Chuzhou too much. After a few words, they began to talk about Li Tingfang's case and ordered people to get the interrogation materials and give them to these people.
While Li Zhenggang and others were looking through the interrogation materials, Qin Qiaoer approached Qin Shaoyou and whispered: "I have sent people to Chuzhou Prefecture to investigate those Li Tingfang's family members."
Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly: "Those so-called Li Tingfang family members were able to make arrangements before the people we sent to the state capital to report the news. It is definitely not easy. But I guess they have probably escaped by now. But since they are here
The presence in the state capital will inevitably leave some clues, so we still have to send people to investigate."
Qin Qiaoer nodded and said, "I think so too."
Time flew by and came to the next day.
Early in the morning, as soon as the city gate of Shi Nan Mansion opened, a large group of people poured in.
After these people entered the city, they did not go anywhere else, but went straight to the prefect's Yamen.
Soon, the long street outside the prefect's Yamen was surrounded by a surging crowd.
In the past few days, the people of Shi Nan Mansion had all heard about Li Tingfang's evil practices to steal their essence and blood, as well as to attack and kill scholars and to feed the monsters with all their heart.
Many versions of these events have emerged. Some people even blamed Li Tingfang for his infertility and lack of support, saying that it was all caused by him sucking away the essence and blood.
Under such circumstances, the people of Shi Nan Mansion naturally hated Li Tingfang deeply. Especially the family members of the deceased wanted to eat his flesh alive.
Today Li Tingfang was going to be tried and executed in public, so naturally they didn't want to miss it. People in the city were lucky, and people outside the city even came from the towns below and the neighboring counties overnight.
So early in the morning, the streets outside the magistrate's office were crowded with people, even more lively than the temple fair during the Chinese New Year.
While the people are looking forward to it, they are also a little worried. After all, Li Tingfang is the prefect of the first government. I wonder if his trial and execution will be treated leniently and hastily?
Finally, when the time came, a cannon shot was heard from the prefect's Yamen, and then the door opened. Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer, Li Zhenggang and others walked out of the Yamen in an orderly manner.
Seeing them, especially Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, who were wearing red envoy commander's robes, the people watching suddenly burst into fierce applause.
In the past few days, Xiao Qingji, who couldn't keep his mouth shut, helped Qin Shaoyou and the others publicize a lot while patrolling the streets.
Now, all the people in Shi Nan Mansion know that the person who discovered something was wrong with Li Tingfang and captured him was the red-clothed envoy passing through this place.
For the people of Shi Nan Mansion, the red-clothed envoy saved their lives this time, so after seeing Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and others, their gratitude came from the bottom of their hearts.
And this also allowed Qin Shaoyou to gain a wave of public support.
Not only him, but the three wild gods Tai Sui Shenjun, Wu Nu Fairy and Puppet Marshal also gained the power of the people's wishes.
The three wild gods squinted their eyes slightly, feeling this different power, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
So is this the power of people's will? It is indeed different from the incense obtained by intimidation.
With the precedent of Gunshan Lord, Tai Sui Shenjun, Wu Nu Fairy and Puppet Marshal all know that the power of people's wishes is the key to becoming a god.
Following Mr. Qin, becoming a god is no longer a luxury.
