The next sufferer cried and said: "My daughter was snatched into the house and refused to become a concubine, so she was beaten to death by Shi Zhusheng's instigators."
After one person finished speaking, the others continued to cry: "When we found him, he even boasted that anyone who disobeys him will only die."
"He is not a human, he is an animal."
Shi Qi, the youngest son of the Shi family, was already scared at this time. There was King Jin and Princess Jin in the main hall. These two people made it clear that they were not at odds with his father. If he admitted this, he would definitely be killed.
Shi Qi resolutely refused to admit such a thing: "Sir, I did not rob civilian girls. They are framing me. Please investigate clearly."
As soon as Shi Qi finished speaking, someone outside the lobby door said: "We can prove that he not only robbed women, but also threw the women who were beaten to death into the dry well in the backyard."
Three or four people came in from outside the door. These people were all servants of the Shi family, both men and women.
When Mrs. Shi saw them, she rushed towards them angrily and wanted to beat them.
These people had no fear at all and restrained Mrs. Shi.
Shi Chengzhi, the first person in the lobby, felt his legs go weak and almost fell to the ground.
He knew that the Shi family was in ruins, and the King of Jin was determined to liquidate him.
As expected, these servants should be the ones placed by the King of Jin into the Shi family.
He is really confused. Can a person who can escape from the emperor's hands be easy to get along with?
Why didn't he surrender to him in the first place instead of trying to make some kind of marriage? Now he's fine, but he's directly out of luck.
Shi Qi, the youngest son of the Shi family, looked as pale as ashes.
Mr. Qian has sent people to dig out the bones from the dry well in the backyard of the Shi family.
In the end, nine sets of bones were dug out from the backyard.
Now all the people watching in front of the government office were enraged, and they all cursed the Shi family for not being human beings. In addition to Shi Qi, they also scolded Shi Chengzhi.
Isn't it because Shi Qi is so conscienceless because of his father?
Didn't Shi Chengzhi know what his son had done? How could he be a good person if he turned a blind eye even though he knew it?
Finally, someone in the crowd shouted: "Prince Jin, Youzhou is your fiefdom, you must make the decision for us."
One person shouted, and all the others shouted: "The King of Jin only cares about our people and will definitely make decisions for us."
After hearing what the people said, Pei Lin raised his hand to signal them to be quiet. He said calmly: "Don't worry, I will give everyone an explanation."
Shi Qi raped a civilian girl, and there was no need to justify the murder. Shi Chengzhi knelt down with a plop and cried bitterly to plead guilty.
"Your Majesty, I failed to teach my son well and deserve to die. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
As soon as Shi Chengzhi finished speaking, two people outside the door quickly walked in and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am suing Mr. Shi for embezzling taxes, selling private salt, and enclosing private land. In order to avoid spending money to enclose the land outside the salt farm, he quietly
Order people to kill the people in those areas outside the salt field."
After the two people finished speaking, the people watching outside fell silent for an instant, and then curses rang out.
Shi Chengzhi turned around and looked at the people who filed the complaint against him. They turned out to be two of his subordinate officials. Unsurprisingly, these two people were persuaded by Jin King Pei Lin, so they came forward to file a complaint against him.
Shi Chengzhi knew that he had only one way to die. If nothing unexpected happened, King Jin must have arranged all the witnesses and material evidence, and what awaited him would be beheading.
Shi Chengzhi couldn't bear the stimulation, so he fainted with a cry.
Mrs. Qian couldn't bear such a result, her eyes darkened and she passed out.
Even though the two members of the Shi family passed out, Mr. Qian still tried the case step by step. In the end, there were both witnesses and physical evidence, proving Mr. Shi's guilt was beyond defense.
Lord Qian sent people to immediately surround the Shi family and search the Shi residence.
In the end, 20,000 gold, 500,000 silver, 20 boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings, and dozens of real estate title deeds were seized from the Shi family.
Many of them were probably used by Shi Chengzhi to manage interpersonal relationships, and there were so many left, which shows that this person is not only greedy, but also extremely greedy.
When Pei Lin saw these things, he issued an order on the spot: "Shi Chengzhi, his wife, his wife, and the youngest son of the Shi family are to be executed and will be executed in a mass grave on the outskirts of Cangcheng City in three days."
The people who were watching in front of the government office all applauded, saying that King Pei Lin of Jin was the blue sky of Youzhou. With the prince here, there is hope for Youzhou.
Pei Lin looked at the items for inspection placed in the main hall of Wangfu Yamen, and suddenly had some concerns in his mind.
He looked at Feng Jing on one side and said: "Princess, aren't you going to teach the people to open up wasteland and grow medicinal materials later? The money from the search will be used to buy medicinal materials. What do you think?"
Feng Jing naturally agreed. She and Pei Lin had discussed giving free medicinal seeds before, but the cost was too high. Where would it come from?
They have money but nothing to spend. The key is that money is needed in various places, but they cannot afford the seed fee.
It's fine now. The batch of things seized by the Shi family is just right.
Feng Jing immediately said with a smile on her face: "Okay."
Pei Lin immediately turned around and looked at the people in front of the government office and said, "I will have people register the seized embezzled money, and later use it to buy medicinal seeds and distribute them to people everywhere for free to open up wasteland and grow medicinal materials."
As soon as this statement came out, the people in front of the gate were in an uproar again, everyone excitedly discussing the matter of opening up wasteland to grow medicinal materials.
I had heard news before that Princess Jin was going to teach people how to recognize medicinal herbs and let them clear up wasteland to grow medicinal materials. She also specially arranged for people to purchase medicinal materials in various places.
They were still a little hesitant at first, but now it seems that this is true.
This is really great.
Everyone was discussing this matter excitedly.
When Shi Chengzhi and Mrs. Shi woke up, they heard what the people said and knew that their home had been raided. They felt heartbroken and physically ached, and passed out again.
Master Qian ordered that all members of the Shi family be imprisoned, and they would be investigated one by one later. Those who had not committed any crime would be released later, while those who had committed crimes would be waiting to be punished.
As for Shi Chengzhi, Mrs. Shi and Shi Qi, the youngest son of the Shi family, they were sentenced to death and executed three days later.
When Pei Lin and Feng Jing saw that the matter was over, the couple hugged each other and got into the carriage in front of the government office and left the government office.
The people lined the streets to see him off with an enthusiastic voice.
In the carriage of Prince Jin's palace, Feng Jing congratulated Pei Lin: "Congratulations to the prince on his victory in the first battle."
Pei Lin looked at Feng Jing with gentle eyes: "With Jingjing's help, this king will be so smooth. Thank you Jingjing."
Feng Jing couldn't stand Pei Lin's gentle and focused eyes. She looked left and right, but she didn't dare to look at anyone.
It was someone's affectionate look that was irresistible. When she looked at him with his charming features, her heartbeat was always a little faster than usual.
Seeing her expression, Pei Lin didn't understand anything, so he couldn't help but chuckle to his lips.
Suddenly, he stretched out his slender hand to hold Fengjing's face upright, and said seriously: "Is it because this king is so ugly that Jingjing can't bear to look at him?"
Feng Jing was amused by his joking words and gave him a white eye.
Pei Lin didn't think it was ugly to roll her eyes, he just felt that she was extremely smart. He couldn't help but reached out and pinched Feng Jing's face. It felt so good!
Feng Jing was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously stretched out her hand to pinch Pei Lin's face.
Pei Lin was stunned. As the King of Yan Jin, he had never had his face pinched before.
Feng Jing also realized that something was wrong, and she immediately retracted her hand, humming: "Who asked you to pinch my face? If you pinch me, I will pinch you."
Pei Lin said smoothly: "Then if you sleep with me, should I sleep back?"
