Zhu Houzhao's face was stern. Looking at the applause in the audience, he knew how many people had been harmed by Sun Qingjiang. It was just a small interrogation, but it had harmed many people.
Looking at the Sun family, there are still many people waiting for trial.
"Sir, I want to report you!"
As soon as Sun Xuepeng was pulled up, someone from the audience immediately stood up and said, "Sir, this Sun Xuepeng is just a beast in disguise. He does all kinds of evil and has no conscience."
"My name is Wang Shuisheng, and I was originally the owner of Shuisheng Restaurant in Huairou County. But it turned out that Sun Xuepeng fell in love with our restaurant. He found someone and wanted to buy my restaurant for ten taels of silver."
"I refused, so he ordered a group of local gangsters to block the door of my restaurant every day, making it impossible for me to operate normally. I reported it to the official, and he bribed the original county magistrate. Not only did he not make decisions for the people, but he also asked me to pay
I was beaten severely and almost died in his hands."
"In the end, he threatened me that if I didn't sell it to him, he would kill our whole family. In the end, there was really no other way, so I sold the largest restaurant in Huairou County at that time for only ten taels of silver."
"Master Qingtian, I also want to report~"
"My name is Li Shuwen. I originally opened a furniture factory in Huairou County. Sun Xuepeng wanted to covet my factory. First, he used various means to threaten and ask for a partnership to become a shareholder. Then, he relied on his subordinates to constantly insert people in, and finally squeezed me out.
Walk."
"I invested 50,000 taels of silver in a furniture factory. In the end, they only used less than 3,000 taels of silver and took it all away. I went to Shuntian Prefecture to report to the government, but I was arrested before I even arrived at Shuntian Prefecture. I was severely beaten.
He was beaten severely, and even my wife, who was still pregnant with a child, was humiliated because of her beauty, and ended up killing two people!"
Li Shuwen shed tears as he spoke. The thing he regretted most in his life was that he came to Huairou County to open a furniture factory. Not only did he destroy all his property, but he also lost his wife and children.
"Master Qingtian, I also want to report~"
"My name is Zhao Dalang. My family was originally quite prosperous, with hundreds of acres of fertile land, dozens of mountains, and coal mines on the mountains. I opened a briquette workshop."
"Sun Xuepeng fell in love with our coal mine and wanted to buy it for one hundred taels of silver. I refused, so the gangsters came to my house every day to cause trouble and vandalized it wantonly. I couldn't get angry, so I went to report it.
The officer was severely beaten again, and finally, while I was knocked unconscious, he manipulated me into completing the transaction and stealing my property!"
"..."
One after another, people came forward and told the numerous crimes committed by Sun Xuepeng. Sun Qingjiang was extremely lustful, but he was extremely greedy for money.
As long as this business in Huairou County is slightly profitable, basically as long as he likes it, he will use various methods to snatch it, ranging from factories, coal mines, workshops, to ordinary shops, restaurants, grain and oil stores, etc.
And so on. In order to make a fortune, he even ordered local gangsters to block the road and collect tolls.
In order to make a fortune, various means were used to imprison people in mining areas and factories, and to work for themselves for free, in order to achieve the purpose of quickly accumulating wealth.
"Sun Xuepeng, do you have something to say?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Sun Xuepeng with cold eyes. Such a small official was just an eighth-grade official and a small county magistrate. In order to make money, he would do anything to make money. He had harmed one party, ruined many families, and left many people with no home.
Go back, kill him a thousand times, even ten thousand times will not be enough.
"I have nothing to say!"
Sun Xuepeng lowered his head and closed his eyes.
"Okay~ Since you have nothing to say, now the county will pronounce the verdict."
"Sun Xuepeng regarded wealth as his life, and used all means to amass money. He robbed other people's property and deliberately harmed other people's lives. He even used coercive means to imprison a large number of people as slaves, and used profiteering methods to beat dozens of people to death."
"This county sentences you to death and you will be executed immediately!"
Zhu Houzhao picked up the token and threw it on the ground. Sun Xuepeng, who had lowered his head and said nothing, suddenly opened his eyes wide and struggled and shouted: "No, no, I can't die, I can't die~"
"Master Zhu, Master Zhu, as long as you are willing to let me live, I will give you one hundred thousand taels, no, one million taels, two million taels~"
As he spoke, he continued to struggle, trying to struggle away, but no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. Two strong guards dragged him directly to the guillotine.
Looking at the bright ghost-headed sword, and then looking at the executioner in red clothes and with a red headband, I was so frightened that I cried out.
"Pfft~"
The executioner took a sip of strong wine and spit it at the ghost-headed knife. Then the knife flashed and a human head fell to the ground.
"Good kill~ Good kill~"
"You finally got your comeuppance!"
"Madam, you can die in peace!"
"..."
Sun Xuepeng was beheaded, and the audience cheered again.
Soon, Sun Zixiang was brought up again. Compared to Sun Qingjiang and Sun Xuepeng, Sun Zixiang was even more disgusting. He was a complete gangster and bully, and he was personally involved in many things.
Fights and fights are nothing, but murders and arson, robbery of women, oppression of good people, robbery of people's property, rampage in the countryside, etc. He has done almost all bad things and committed all kinds of evil. He is a truly heinous person.
The reason why the Sun family has come to this day has a lot to do with Sun Zixiang. Sun Zixiang did not study hard when he was a child and only liked fighting. When he grew up, he became more serious. He had a backer behind him and gathered a large group of local ruffians. With the help of various
After using such rogue methods to forcibly rob some property.
The Sun family found that many things could be easily explained, so they became more and more lawless, and eventually became the current Sun family, bringing disaster to the entire Huairou County.
"Sun Zixiang has done many evil things, done all the bad things, and has no conscience. This county rebels against you and you will be sentenced to death. You will be executed immediately!"
It was another death sentence. The token fell to the ground and the sword flashed. Sun Zixiang's sinful life was finally over. People who had been bullied by Sun Zixiang made friends one after another, and many people burst into tears on the spot.
The Sun family members were dragged up one after another. The men of the Sun family were basically not good people and had committed many crimes. Zhu Houzhao did not mean to spare the Sun family lightly.
"Death penalty! Execution immediately!"
"Death penalty, executed immediately!"
As Zhu Houzhao pronounced his verdict, there were already more than a dozen corpses of the Sun family on the guillotine. Some of them were already in their seventies or eighties, but they still robbed teenage girls. In the end, it was a tragedy.
of performance.
Others are only in their teens, but they are not good people. After learning some martial arts at a young age, they beat people to death in the street.
Zhu Houzhao had no intention of giving a light sentence. Anyone with a life on his hands would be punished by death.
Liu Jin has been watching silently from the side. Liu Jin can't sympathize with the Sun family, and it is easy for him. In this era of Ming Dynasty, these people's families and tribesmen will be implicated and will be sentenced to the same sentence, even the lightest one will be exiled.
.
If we look at future generations, even if those evil forces who have done many evil things are overthrown, their families can still live a good life freely, while those who have been harmed will always be immersed in pain.
Liu Jin didn't know whether this was the progress of civilization or the regression of civilization.
"This county sentences you to being sent to the North Sea to herd sheep and dig potatoes, and you will not be allowed to leave for generations to come!"
When I got to the back, I saw a large group of people from the Sun family. The main members had been beheaded. Most of the remaining people were women and children. A few of them had not done any bad things and were not worthy of death.
, some can be considered good people.
However, the sentence was still changed, and Zhu Houzhao still punished these people heavily, banishing them to Beihai to dig potatoes. This was much heavier than being exiled to Australia and Golden Continent.
Exile to Beihai has only appeared in the past two years.
Because the imperial court wanted to develop the vast Siberian region, develop the vast land north of the grassland, and consolidate its rule over this area.
Therefore, the imperial court established a number of small towns in areas north of Beihai, Congling, and the Altai Mountains, specifically to consolidate control of these areas and strengthen the development, control, and understanding of these areas.
But these areas are too cold and have no special resources, so no one has been willing to go to these places. Therefore, the imperial court also thought of exiling prisoners, and sent some prisoners who were originally sentenced to be exiled to Golden Continent and Australia.
His sentence was commuted and he was exiled to places such as Beihai, Congling, and north of the Altai Mountains.
These places are really bitterly cold places. Apart from grazing and hunting, you can only grow potatoes. In winter, it is freezing and snowy. In comparison, although Golden Continent and Australia are barbarian lands,
But it's paradise, at least it won't be cold, and at least you don't have to worry about food and drink.
Therefore, places like Beihai and Congling have become the places that people in the Ming Dynasty are most afraid of now. These places are really too cold.
Upon hearing Zhu Houzhao's penalty, some members of the Sun family fainted on the spot.
"Beihai shepherds, digs potatoes~"
Liu Jin smiled when he heard Zhu Houzhao's penalty. In later generations, the North Sea was occupied by polar bears. This vast and fertile area was rich in resources and fertile land. It was very suitable for growing potatoes. Except for the cold, all other aspects were actually good.
not bad.
The large lake of the North Sea is extremely rich in fishery resources, with hundreds of species of fish in it. The vast land is extremely rich in various mineral resources, and the forestry resources are very rich.
In later generations, polar bears were so poor that they sold their resources and still lived quite well. This was all due to the vast territory and abundant resources in Siberia, otherwise the polar bears would not be able to survive at all.
