All relevant personnel in Wang Fu's case have been sentenced on the spot, and those who should be jailed will be jailed and their homes will be searched.
The beheading can only be carried out after approval from the capital. Before then, the relevant members will be imprisoned for a certain period of time.
However, Yunjing guessed that most of them would have to be taken to the capital, especially those who were scholars and officials. Many of the official positions were not small. It would be difficult for the local government to deal with such people. Maybe the emperor would have to personally
Ask.
But the eldest princess is paying attention to this matter, and with the cooperation of Ant Tower and the army, it is almost impossible to reverse the case or rob the prison. Even if some people want to interfere with it, they will only get themselves into it!
The kind of people who find connections in Zuo Wangshan to help, once they are implicated, they are simply asking for it. Those unscrupulous bastards want to help them clear their names, and their consciences are simply eaten by dogs.
Perhaps the person who helped was unable to save face because of friendship and favor, but how could he easily intervene in such a thing?
Wang Fu and other related members were thrown into prison, and the next person to be put on trial was Qiu Mingfang.
This person has committed a lot of crimes, not much worse than Wang Fu.
Similar to the previous process, He Zhengdian first counted his culpability in detail and asked him if he admitted his guilt. Qiu Mingfang would definitely deny it, as it would kill someone.
But he couldn't help it if he didn't admit it, so He Zhengdian directly ordered people to be brought in to testify and prove the evidence.
How can I allow you to quibble in front of mountains of irrefutable evidence?
Then Qiu Mingfang was also sentenced on the spot, stripped of his honor and official position, sentenced to death by beheading, and his property confiscated. The people involved were also sentenced on the spot in accordance with the law. In short, whatever happened was done.
Anyway, as long as it is expressly stipulated in the law, He Zhengdong will deal with it strictly and strictly.
It has to be said that the people at Yilou are so good at investigating cases. They can dig out cases from more than ten years ago and investigate them clearly. In particular, they can also find confirmed witnesses and physical evidence. Their methods are amazing.
Of course, some things have happened many years ago, and the witnesses and physical evidence have naturally disappeared. There is no way, and they can't make it up out of thin air. But finding everything they can find is enough to convict.
Time passed little by little, and the prisoners were put on trial one by one. Every time a person was sentenced, the people outside the county government cheered loudly. Gradually, people even called out Mr. Qingtian.
It is conceivable that the cases brought to trial by He Zhengdian were so applauding.
The time passed from afternoon to evening unknowingly, but the interrogation of the prisoner had not yet been completed. He Zhengdian had no intention of stopping, and the interrogation continued under the bright lights.
However, the people outside the county government not only did not leave, but instead gathered in more and more numbers. Occasionally, a few people even came out to complain, recounting their grievances that they had not dared to file on the spot.
For such people, He Zhengdian would not refuse anyone who came, and would inquire about the grievances in detail. If there was evidence, he would deal with it on the spot. If there was no evidence for the time being, he would also say that he would follow up on the investigation of the case.
The interrogation situations here were sent to Zuo Wangshan in a steady stream, and his heart became heavier with every piece of news he got.
"I think those letters have almost been sent to the corresponding people, but I don't know how many people will help in times of need at this time? I hope those who are willing to help can really help. Over in the capital, if we can be contacted in time,
There should be news tonight, hoping to put pressure on He Zhengdian, preferably by asking him to transfer these cases to others..."
Zuo Wangshan looked at the bright moon rising slowly in the sky and murmured. Even though there were various emotions in his heart, at least he was still calm on the surface.
It has been dark for some time at the county government office, and He Zhengdian has already interrogated and sentenced more than twenty people in public.
When he took a sip of tea and was about to continue, a confidant came to him and whispered: "Sir, Mr. Liang from the state capital next door is here. He said he came to you to catch up with the past. He is your classmate in the same year. You see...
?”
He raised his eyebrows and He Zhengdian immediately sneered.
The purpose of the other party coming to me to reminisce about the past is of course self-evident. It is nothing more than to delay him from interrogating the case, so as to give those people more opportunities to commit crimes.
In response to this, He Zhengdian said to himself that the other party would stand up for those things that were inferior to pigs and dogs. This was just like a classmate and friend who didn't want to do it, but he was mistaking the wrong person.
Then he said: "Go and tell the other party that I am not free now and want to catch up on old times and wait until I finish the case. If he can't wait, just leave first."
"This...is correct. I will tell Mr. Liang now."
The trial then continues.
But in the subsequent trial, more and more people came to look for He Zhengdian, some were friends, some were former classmates, relatives, and even retired officials.
He Zhengdian didn't see any of these people and dismissed them without saying a word.
And for those people, He Zhengdian kept it in mind. It would be best to draw a clear line in the future. Although officialdom is nothing more than interpersonal relationships, when should we distinguish them? They can stand up for heinous people, and their intentions are obviously evil.
It’s okay not to make friends with such people.
Anyway, after these things were done, He Zhengdian didn't want to have the shame to stay in the officialdom anymore, so why should he care about what those people think?
If you don't want to see yourself afterwards or even cause trouble, then come, I'm afraid you won't succeed!
However, He Zhengdian didn't see those people, but some people really couldn't let go of Zuo Wangshan's favor and actually took the initiative to come to the court where the case was being interrogated.
But such a person still knows how to behave, and did not disturb He Zhengdian while he was handling the case. He just winked at him frequently, probably saying that Lao He, you are almost done, and there are so many of us, so you can give him some face.
He Zhengdian ignored such people, pretended not to see them, and continued to examine the case. This made those people depressed and angry, and they all came to you. If you don't give me face, Mr. He, I will look at you in the future.
How to handle yourself!
Ordinary people would probably feel a little uncomfortable being looked at by so many people with status, background and even friendship. However, He Zhengdian was determined to handle the case and ignored everyone, pretending that he didn't exist.
The night was getting darker, and after interrogating half of the prisoners, He Zhengdian was also a little tired.
Just at this moment, a yamen servant brought him a cup of refreshing tea. He hesitated and said, "Sir, it's late at night. Can the others stay for the trial tomorrow?"
He Zhengdian, who was about to drink tea, slowed down, looked at him and said, "Go down and write your resignation. Take off these clothes and don't let me say it a second time."
After saying that, He Zhengdian ignored the other party and continued to examine the case.
The yamen servant was considered He Zhengdian's confidant. When he heard what he said, he trembled all over, opened his mouth, and finally sighed and left lonely.
This person failed to withstand the pressure from all aspects and took the opportunity to serve tea to say something. Unexpectedly, He Zhengdian saw through his mind and lost the job...
The time came to midnight unknowingly, and He Zhengdian took the time to look into the distance, thinking thoughtfully.
"It's been such a long time. It stands to reason that Zuo Wangshan has found a connection with the capital. Calculating the time, there should be restrictions from the capital to come. I have been prepared to ignore it, but I didn't come. I think he wanted to come.
The disciples' initiative to take the initiative was blocked, huh, it's your fault!"
He Zhengdian probably guessed something, but he was not sure. In any case, it was a good thing and he continued to investigate the case.
Little did he know that at this time, news came to Zuowang Mountain one after another, and none of them was good news.
"Master, we have been contacted in the capital. Senior brother is already looking for connections, and Master's relatives and friends have been notified that they are working!"
After receiving the news from his apprentice, Zuo Wangshan nodded slightly to express his understanding, secretly saying that the capital was in operation, and then he asked the apprentice who sent the news to continue to contact the capital to inquire about the progress.
So his apprentice immediately went to find the organization with long-distance and timely contact, and continued to communicate with the capital.
Two hours later, his apprentice came back again, but he brought bad news.
"Master, when news came from the capital, there was a lot of resistance. Even... even those who agreed to help with the operation were directly detained!" The apprentice from Zuowangshan who came to report the news said with a pale face.
His body swayed, Zuo Wangshan could not maintain his calmness, and said in a voiceless voice: "How could this happen?"
"Master, senior brother said that there are suspected big figures in the capital who have been paying attention to things here...", his apprentice said anxiously, and then said cautiously: "Master, if you don't want to forget it, if you continue, I'm afraid..."
"Go and ask again," Zuo Wangshan gritted his teeth and said.
Things went beyond his expectation.
As a result, two hours later, his disciple came over in a panic and told Zuo Wangshan two pieces of bad news, saying: "Master, my senior brother has been dismissed from his post and is under investigation. He can no longer be contacted. It was the commissioned officer when he was arrested."
A message came from my confidant, besides... besides..."
"Tell me, what's the bad news? I can still hold on as a teacher!" Zuo Wangshan took a deep breath and said.
So his apprentice said with a cry: "Master, a document has been issued from the capital, and we are on the way here. Master, please be patient after listening to what I am going to say. The news says that the document is to be removed."
Master, you will really be a commoner from now on. Moreover, because the brothers taught by Master have done too many evil things and brought disgrace to the scholars, Master, as a Master, you cannot escape the blame. Not only will you be banned at home forever
, will also confiscate 90% of the family property as a warning. Finally, after delivering these messages, the organization drove me back and told me not to go to them again..."
Poof~!
Hearing this news, even though Zuo Wangshan had innate cultivation, he couldn't hold it back and immediately rushed to his heart and spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
He never dreamed that things would turn out like this.
With blood bleeding from the corner of his mouth, he looked outside and swayed and murmured: "Hey He Zhengdian, it turns out that a big shot has been paying attention to this matter for a long time. You are setting a trap for me, but who is so capable..."
"Master, are you okay? There is just news now, and the documents have not really arrived yet. Please think of a solution quickly," his apprentice said in a tearful voice.
Zuo Wangshan took a deep breath, his thoughts flashed, he took out a letter and handed it to the apprentice and said: "Quick, go and deliver this letter to the third courtyard of Liangjing Lane. You must be quick, I hope it's not too late!"
"Yes." Although his apprentice didn't know why this letter was sent to that place, it was time, so he just did as he was told.
The place Zuo Wangshan mentioned was the place where the second prince Xia Tao settled.
How did he know?
This has to be said that the people of the second prince are very careful. After learning that Xia Tao intended to visit Zuo Wangshan, Xia Tao's servants secretly contacted Zuo Wangshan in advance.
After all, it was not a trivial matter for the second prince to come to visit, and preparations had to be made in advance. This allowed Zuo Wangshan to know where the second prince Xia Tao would stay, and it was Zuo Wangshan's last life-saving straw.
In fact, revealing Xia Tao's whereabouts was not because his servants did something wrong. They didn't know at the time that Zuo Wangshan's disciples would commit crimes.
Xia Tao sincerely visited Zuo Wangshan to win him over to his camp. Most people would have to hand over a name card before visiting someone's home. How could they not communicate in advance when they met?
It is inconsistent with etiquette to come to the door rashly, and if we can't reach an agreement then everyone will look bad, right?
In fact, no one expected that things would turn out like this.
Zuo Wangshan's disciple's letter was quickly delivered, and when he came back to resume his duties, he could only wait for the news.
However, this is a waste of time.
Its daybreak.
But for Zuowang Mountain, it’s ‘dark’ time.
The letter was sent, but no news came. What does this prove? You don't need to think about it to know that the second prince must be in the county and knows everything that happened. He is no longer wanted to see him.
"Why……"
At dawn, Zuo Wangshan sighed heavily, slowly sat on a chair, fell into silence while watching the rising sun.
He suddenly aged nearly twenty years again!
He is eighty years old. A day ago, some people would have believed that he was fifty or sixty years old. But now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a hundred years old, and his whole person's energy and energy are gone.
After a lifetime of glory, when you grow old, not only will your reputation be gone, but everything will be gone as well.
His apprentice said that the document from the capital will ground him, which means that he will not be able to go anywhere in the future. Even if he goes to other places with complete household registration, he will not be able to go out secretly. Once he is discovered, it will be against the law.
, the end will be even more miserable!
Once the documents from the capital arrive, He Zhengdian will lose his fame and reputation, and most of his apprentices will be finished. How can he still face others?
His whole life has been ruined...
The situation here is also under Yunjing's observation.
Regarding Zuowangshan's fate, Yunjing said that he deserved it.
However, there is a saying that Zuo Wangshan's apprentice did something evil and he did not participate in it. The punishment he received was considered normal. After all, he himself did not break the law, so he could not be executed on fabricated charges.
In short, this matter is settled.
Needless to say, Yun Jing knew that it must be the eldest princess who cut off Zuowangshan's operations in the capital. At the same time, it must also be the eldest princess's handiwork that removed Zuowangshan's reputation, grounded him and even confiscated his family property.
In fact, for a person like Zuo Wangshan, it would be more cruel to deprive him of his honor than to kill him.
You spend your whole life focusing on face and reputation, but in the end your face and reputation are gone. Isn’t that miserable?
Over at the county government office, the sun was getting higher and higher. The trial of He Zhengdian's case was also completed. The verdict was pronounced on the spot. The criminals got the sentences they deserved. Countless people who had watched it all night clapped their hands and applauded.
Those who originally came to contain He Zhengdian probably got the tip from the gossip and left in despair and without a trace.
After the trial was over, He Zhengdian, who had been busy all night, finally took the photo and said the word "retreat."
The next step is to wait for the approval from the capital. Those guys who should be beheaded should be imprisoned. I think the approval from the capital won't take too long.
The eldest princess is paying attention, and she will definitely do something special!
As for the letter from Zuo Wangshan to Xia Tao, it actually appeared in Xia Tao's hands that night, and Yun Jing even read it.
In the letter, Zuo Wangshan expressed his affirmation of Xia Tao in all aspects in a pertinent manner. Although he did not express it explicitly, it was less than a straightforward expression of loyalty.
Then he mentioned the mistakes of his apprentices without hiding them, hoping that Xia Tao could help a little because he still worried about his apprentices at his age.
After getting the letter, Xia Tao sneered after reading it and tore it up on the spot.
If he accepts Zuo Wangshan like this, he can't afford to lose that person. Even if he doesn't add insult to injury, he still wants to help.
Xia Tao is not stupid. Not long after Yunjing appeared in Pofeng County, something like this happened in Pofeng County, and Yunjing was valued by his aunt...
He boldly assumed that his aunt might be behind this. Even if he guessed wrong, it didn't matter. He didn't intend to figure it out anyway.
In this way, my aunt is the real leader behind the scenes. If he jumps out to help, hey, he hasn't lived enough yet, Xia Ziyue will probably break his legs!
Things have settled.
Yun Jing will continue to pay attention to the final fate of those criminals, but this requires approval from the capital, and it will not happen in a day or two. After all, this matter has reached the result that Yun Jing wants to see at this time.
"It is clear that there is justice in the world. It is not that the time for retribution has not yet come. It is gratifying that the criminals are punished. But those who were killed will never be able to come back to life. It is sad. The families of those who were killed will have to bear heavy sorrow for their whole lives.
,Sigh..."
Looking at the scorching sun rising in the sky, Yunjing was filled with emotions.
He was not happy about doing good things secretly, and he couldn't be happy at all. If there were fewer evil people and more happiness in the world, that would be something truly worth being happy about.
Originally, Yunjing wanted to see Zhou Mu who had returned, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He really didn’t know how to face such a person who had traveled thousands of miles to find his daughter, but was forever separated from her by yin and yang.
An old father with pain on his back.
Fortunately, the government came forward and promised to send him home safely and give him a sum of compensation. People from Antlou even helped him find the body of his daughter Zhou Xiaojuan...
Belated justice, haha.
"Brother Yun, find a place to have a drink?" After the incident, Xia Tao looked at Yun Jing and suggested.
The mood was not beautiful at all, so Yunjing nodded and agreed: "That's fine."
"Hey, who was so careless as to drop a jade pendant? It's very valuable at first glance. The person who lost it must be very distressed and worried, right?"
Yunjing, who was about to have a drink with Xia Tao, suddenly heard such a murmur.
When I turned around, I saw that the young man I had noticed yesterday was standing on the gradually disappearing street, holding a jade pendant and looking through it.
Isn't this very lucky?
I picked up money yesterday, and today I picked up a valuable jade pendant...
Muttering in his heart, Yunjing didn't care about him. Luck is something you can't envy.
That young man was quite honest and he actually stood there waiting for someone to claim him.
Out of curiosity, Yunjing decided to keep an eye on this young man secretly...
