Hearing Sun Qingjiang's words, Zhu Houzhao immediately sneered and said: "Those people who were destroyed by your Sun family, don't they have children?"
"Aren't their children innocent?"
"Shopkeeper Li of the original Li's Restaurant in the east of the city had a family of twelve people, old and young. The elder was already over eighty and the younger was only a few months old. Your Sun family just wanted a restaurant, and you didn't even let the elderly and children go.
After that, there were twelve people in the family, not a single one was left alive."
"Why didn't you say the child was innocent when you did this?"
Zhu Houzhao's voice was cold. The Sun family had done too many bad things, too numerous to mention. There were several cases where the Sun family had their families wiped out.
"Ah~"
"This, this, how do you know?"
When Sun Zixiang heard this, he was immediately shocked.
He thought that he did this kind of thing very secretly and no one knew about it. Who knew that Zhu Houzhao actually found out clearly.
"If you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself!"
Zhu Houzhao said casually.
Is there anything in this world that Jin Yiwei and Dongchang cannot find out?
When Zhu Houzhao held a thick stack of reports on the numerous crimes of the Sun family, Zhu Houzhao wanted to kill the entire Sun family.
But as Sun Qingjiang said, children are innocent.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty also have strict regulations. Unless it is a crime of treason, generally speaking, the family will not be implicated. As for children, they must be treated more tolerantly.
At this time, Liu Jin also hurriedly came to the Sun Mansion with others.
"All the mines, restaurants, manors, factories, workshops, etc. under the Sun family's name have been sealed off. A total of 532 local gangsters, bullies, thugs, etc. have been arrested, 36 of whom are fugitives wanted by the court, and 12
He is a first-level wanted criminal, and he has a life on his hands."
"We have rescued more than 10,000 people who were forced to work in various mines, factories, workshops, etc. Most of them are locals in Huairou County."
"In addition, a large number of corpses have been excavated near coal mines and factories. There are hundreds of them so far. According to the rescued people and the gangsters who have been arrested, these were all tortured to death by the Sun family, or
Common people who were beaten to death.”
When he said this, Liu Jin also showed an extremely angry look.
This Sun family is simply a devil's cave, demons that eat people without spitting out their bones.
"Listen~listen~"
"Do you still think your Sun children are innocent?"
Zhu Houzhao looked coldly at the Sun family in the yard.
His gaze was like an extremely sharp blade, so that no one in the Sun family dared to look directly at him.
"Sir, these are all done by Sun Zixiang, and have nothing to do with the rest of the Sun family. Our Sun family is a scholarly family, and we have cultivated and studied for generations. How could we do such unethical things? All of this was done by Sun Zixiang, and it has nothing to do with us.
It’s irrelevant.”
Big beads of sweat sprung up on Sun Qingjiang's forehead, and his spine felt chilly.
It's over, it's over.
The matter was revealed and the Sun family was finished.
Sun Zixiang had long been told to deal with these tails. He kept saying that he had dealt with them as soon as possible, but now, everything has been revealed, and any one of them is enough for the Sun family to kill the nine tribes.
In desperation, he could only shift the responsibility to Sun Zixiang, the bully in Huairou County, and sacrifice him in exchange for leniency from the rest of the Sun family.
"Yes, yes, our Sun family is a scholarly family. It's just that this scum has been killed. It has nothing to do with the rest of us. The two of us are still court officials and have been working for the court. How could we do something like this?
Let’s wait until something happens.”
Sun Xuepeng also nodded along.
"Haha~"
"Yes, these things were done by me, Sun Zixiang. If you want to kill or behead them, come at me. It has nothing to do with the rest of our Sun family."
Sun Zixiang immediately understood that he was trying to save his career by giving up his job, but he was also standing up and confessing his crime frankly.
"Haha, you think you can get away with it this way?"
"It's not that easy, no one can escape."
Zhu Houzhao laughed immediately.
….
Zhu Houzhao acted very quickly, arresting members of the Sun family and his gangsters, blocking many properties of the Sun family, and rescuing the people imprisoned by the Sun family.
At the same time, he also quickly posted notices to explain all this to the people of Huairou County and appease people's hearts.
"Heaven~"
"You finally opened your eyes!"
Someone saw the notice posted and saw that the Sun family was finished, and they couldn't help crying and shouting.
"The Sun family is finished, the Sun family is finished!"
"The imperial court has taken action, the imperial court has taken action!"
"Everyone, go and see. Everyone, go and go and see. The Sun family has been ransacked!"
Some people were happy and excited, shouting loudly in the streets and alleys. Soon, people who heard the sound came out from every corner, and then rushed towards the Sun Mansion, surrounding the gate of the Sun Mansion.
, looking at the Sun family members who were tied up and escorted out one by one.
"Folks, I am Zhu Shou, the new magistrate of Huairou County~"
"The Sun family has no law, no sense of justice, has done all kinds of bad things, and has lost all conscience. Now the county has officially arrested everyone in the Sun family. A public trial will be held three days later, and everyone in the Sun family and the Sun family will be held accountable.
The local gangsters, thugs, etc. who were kept in captivity will be put on public trial. I hope that the fathers and villagers of Huairou County can actively participate and come forward to testify, so that Huairou County can have a bright future!"
Zhu Houzhao walked out of the Sun Mansion and saw the dark crowd. He also held a tin trumpet and shouted loudly.
"Okay~Okay!"
“I’ve finally waited for this day!”
"Qing'e, have you seen it?"
"The Sun family's retribution has come!"
"Haha, the laws of nature are cyclical, and retribution is not good. You, the Sun family, have done all the bad things, and finally you have retribution."
"Kill them!"
When the people in Huairou County who were watching heard this, they immediately applauded.
Then I don’t know who threw the first rotten egg and hit Sun Zixiang on the head. Others followed suit. Suddenly, rotten eggs, potatoes, rotten shoes, small stones, rotten vegetable leaves, etc., all kinds of
Such things were thrown at everyone in the Sun family.
"Ah~"
Everyone in the Sun family is usually aloof and aloof, but they have never suffered such a crime.
Being hit on the head by rotten eggs, stones, etc., the body was immediately bruised and bloody, and became extremely miserable. All of them who were originally wearing luxurious clothes suddenly looked like beggars.
Some people were hit so painfully that they screamed miserably.
"Haha, it turns out you can cry too~"
"It turns out that you will feel pain too!"
"Smash them to death, smash them to death!"
"Smash you to death, you bully!"
The people in Huairou County who were watching were usually bullied so miserably. At this moment, their anger burst out, and they would throw whatever they got in their hands at the Sun family to vent their inner emotions.
Zhu Houzhao didn't let anyone stop him. He was usually bullied very miserably. He just threw some things. It was nothing. It was good to let everyone vent their anger.
As for the Sun family, even if they were beaten to death, they deserved their death.
"Dang~dang~"
"Dear fellow villagers in Huairou County, we will hold a public trial in three days to conduct a public trial of the Sun family. During this period, we hope that everyone can collect more evidence, inform each other, and come out to testify against the Sun family during the public trial.
For this crime, we will punish the Sun family the most severely!"
"At the same time, we will liquidate the Sun family. All the property that the Sun family has robbed will be returned to the fellow villagers, and those who were persecuted by the Sun family will also receive compensation."
"Please also tell each other that after three days, I hope more people will come to participate in the public trial!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Zhu Houzhao quickly ordered people to beat gongs and drums to inform them about the public trial. At the same time, he also took Sun Zixiang, Sun Qingjiang, Sun Xuepeng and other members of the Sun family under custody.
Don't die like this, it would be too easy for them.
Their crimes have not yet been judged, but they cannot die like this.
"Master Zhu, you are really Master Qingtian!"
"Mr. Bao is still alive!"
"Please accept our respect from Huairou County people!"
After hearing these words, the people in Huairou County who were present could not help but kneel down one after another, and they knelt down and shouted to Zhu Houzhao.
The Sun family is lawless in Huairou County and does all kinds of bad things. The people of Huairou County who are oppressed by the Sun family really hate this and gnash their teeth, but there is nothing they can do about it.
Now that someone finally made the decision for them and redressed their grievances, how could the people of Huairou County who were present not kneel down.
"Everyone, please get up~ Everyone, please get up!"
"This is all what we should do."
"The emergence of bullies like the Sun family, who are entrenched in one area and causing harm to the countryside, is the fault of our court and the fault of us officials."
"It's our fault that we didn't discover all this in time, punished accordingly, and didn't give everyone justice in time."
"But please believe that the emperor always cares about you the most, cares about you the most, and protects you the most. This time, the emperor officially ordered me to come to Huairou County to uphold justice for everyone, and ordered me to clear out the Sun family's bully
power, and bring peace and prosperity to the folks in Huairou County!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at everything in front of him and suddenly understood some of what Liu Jin and Emperor Hongzhi had said before.
The higher the position, the greater the burden, and everything you say and do affects the lives of countless people.
For example, Emperor Hongzhi, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was related to the 150 million people of the Ming Dynasty and the country of the Ming Dynasty.
As a prince and the future successor of the Ming Dynasty, I have never had a deep feeling or understanding of this, and I have never wanted to learn how to govern a country or be a king.
But at this moment, Zhu Houzhao felt the heavy burden on his shoulders. Now Emperor Hongzhi is carrying it, but he will eventually need to carry it in the future. The country of the Ming Dynasty, and the billions of subjects of the Ming Dynasty will finally have their turn.
