It was actually not easy to try last year's arson case. Shou Anbo was a powerful person, and the Ping'an County Government could not handle such a case, nor could it use all kinds of torture instruments like ordinary cases. However, what he had just been tricked out of
Emperor Chen heard all those words and couldn't even try to retract the confession.
There was no need to find any more evidence. Chen Huang, who was so angry, immediately asked two government officials to drag him down and beat him twenty times.
This was a real twenty-ban game. Just after the ten-bang game, the son of Shou Anbo could no longer wail. After playing the twenty-blade game, he simply fainted.
After hearing the news, Shou Anbo stepped into the county government hall with an angry face, pointed at Zhong Mingli's nose, and said angrily: "Zhong, what did you do to my son?"
Zhong Mingli looked at him and said calmly: "Young master instigated others to murder Secretary Xu's family, and maliciously set fire to others, which affected innocent people. I have temporarily detained him in accordance with the laws of the dynasty."
"Conspiracy to kill is nothing!" Shou Anbo said angrily: "How could my son do such a thing? You must have beaten him into it. I warn you Zhong Mingli, don't think that being the magistrate of Ping'an County is a big deal. If something happens to my son, you
This county magistrate won’t last long!”
"Shou Anbo is so majestic!"
Emperor Chen walked out with a sullen face and said in a cold voice: "The Magistrate of Ping'an County receives a salary from the court and works for the country. He should not be considered the Magistrate of Ping'an County. When will it be your turn to take charge!"
Shou Anbo's complexion changed drastically. After a quick reaction, he immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Emperor Chen looked at him and asked: "Tell me, if I want to appoint a Ping'an County Magistrate, do I need your permission from Shou'an Bo?"
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant!" Cold sweat broke out on Shou Anbo's forehead, and he immediately explained: "I was so excited that I offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me. It's just that my son would never do such an evil thing. He must
This Ping'an County magistrate is the one who surrendered and was beaten to death, so please let your majesty learn from it!"
"What I heard with my own ears, is it wrong?" Chen Huang strode forward and kicked him on the shoulder. Shou Anbo stumbled and fell to the ground.
"That's eight lives!" Emperor Chen looked at him and said angrily: "If the people knew that their taxes supported a bunch of beasts like you, how would they scold me?"
This was the first time Tang Ning saw Huang Chen so angry. He took two steps back and found that the hem of his clothes was tight. He looked down and saw Zhao Man tugging at the corner of his clothes. The expression on his face was obviously a little scared.
It seemed that Chen Huang's current appearance scared her.
Tang Ning pulled the hem of clothes out of her hands. Men and women were not allowed to be intimate. She didn't know how to avoid suspicion and always tried to get things close to her...
Zhao Man glared at him, grabbed the corner of his clothes again, and squeezed harder.
Chen Huang walked to the desk at the top, slapped his hands on the table, and said in a deep voice: "I want to personally examine this case!"
Shou Anbo's body trembled and he fell limply to the ground.
The emperor does not need to go through so many twists and turns when trying a case.
As long as he sat in the hall and revealed his identity, Shou Anbo's son, who was forcibly awakened after fainting, could do anything.
He had long been attracted to Secretary Xu's wife. That night, while Secretary Xu was not at home, he sneaked into Xu's house and tried to force her. However, Secretary Xu's wife refused to obey, so he accidentally strangled her to death.
When Secretary Xu returned home, he did not stop and ordered his men to beat Secretary Xu to death, destroy the corpse and destroy all traces, and set fire to Xu's house, pretending to be a fire.
After hearing his confession, Shou Anbo was already pale and slumped on the ground, like mud.
"What a big dog, what a big dog!" Chen Huang usually dealt with national affairs, so private cases like this would not be reported to him. At this moment, his body was shaking with anger, and Wei Jian hurriedly stepped forward.
Immediately said: "Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon body is important, the dragon body is important."
He winked at Tang Ning, who understood and immediately asked Peng Chen to take Shou Anbo's son away.
Emperor Chen gradually calmed down and said: "From now on, he will be removed from the title of Earl of Shouan and demoted to a commoner. His son has committed a heinous crime and will not be pardoned. He will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment immediately and dealt with according to law!"
Shou Anbo's whole body was shaking like chaff, he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"Spare his life?" Chen Huang looked at him and said coldly: "You asked me to spare his life, then who will spare the lives of Secretary Xu and his family, and who will spare the lives of those six innocent people!"
"Ping'an County Magistrate Zhong Mingli!" Chen Huang suddenly said.
Zhong Mingli immediately stepped forward, bowed and said, "I'm here!"
"You handled this case very well." He looked at Zhong Mingli and said, "The capital is not as good as Lingzhou. I know that you will encounter many obstacles in handling cases on weekdays. I will give you a jade card. When you see this card, you will feel like seeing it."
I, if anyone dares to obstruct it, I will deal with it by disobeying the order!"
Wei Jian took out a jade plaque from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Master Zhong, I haven't thanked Your Majesty yet."
Zhong Mingli immediately came back to his senses, reached out to take it, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"No need to thank me." Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Ping'an County is at the foot of the emperor. If something like this happens, it will be my shame. I hope you can fulfill your duties in the future and don't let me down."
Zhong Mingli bowed and said, "I will live up to your majesty's trust!"
Chen Huang stood up and said again: "The Prime Minister of Pingan County violated the law for personal gain and ignored human life. He was immediately dismissed from his post and investigated, and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for handling. The Prime Minister of Pingan County is your assistant. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
Zhong Mingli said: "I will all obey the arrangements of your Majesty and the court."
Chen Huang waved his hand and said: "The county magistrate will be running the county government together with you. I don't want to send another troublemaker in. If you have any suitable candidates in your mind, feel free to speak up."
Zhong Mingli thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "I, I have a candidate in mind..."
…
After Chen Huang left, the county government officials realized what had happened.
His Majesty personally visited the county government office, and Zhao Xian Cheng and Zheng County Lieutenant were dismissed on the spot for investigation. Last year, Secretary Xu's case came to light, and Shou Anbo's son was punished according to law. Shou Anbo was also stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner.
What shocked and unbelievable them most was that on this day, they actually paid a private visit to Ping'an County Government incognito!
In their eyes, the emperor was naturally a high-ranking figure. He only existed within the high palace wall. Ordinary people could hardly see him in their lifetime. Who would have thought that one day, as a small official, they would be able to see him?
A living emperor. This thing alone is enough for them to brag about for a long time.
When Zhong Mingli walked out of the front hall, he saw all the officials from the county government standing neatly in the yard.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, sir!"
…
Seeing him coming out, everyone bowed and saluted in unison.
Zhong Mingli looked at everyone and asked doubtfully: "What are you doing?"
A man stepped forward, looked at him, and said seriously: "Scribe Xu is one of my colleagues. Your Excellency has vindicated his grievances and deserves my respect."
Zhong Mingli shook his head and said: "This is my duty, you don't have to do this."
The official clasped his hands and said: "Magistrate Chang, Magistrate Zhao and the Shou'an Bofu colluded to commit adultery, causing Secretary Xu to die unjustly. We are helpless. Your Excellency is different from Magistrate Chang and Magistrate Zhao. You are upright and fearless."
Power..., I am willing to be driven by you in the future!"
"I am willing to be driven by the adults!"
"I am willing to be driven by the adults!"
…
All the county government officials bowed their heads, and Tang Ning leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.
This time, Zhao Xiancheng was completely defeated. His father-in-law relied on this incident to establish prestige in the county government. These people were convinced of him, and everything he did in the future would be much smoother.
What's more, he still has the jade card rewarded by the emperor in his hand. Seeing the card is like seeing the king. Monk Fang's sword is useful. Although it can't kill the king or kill the ministers, in the future he will be like a small character like Shouanbo and Wu'anhou.
, when I see this sign, I can only stand still and accept the beating, and I don’t dare to be arrogant anymore.
He rubbed his swollen head, finally took a vacation, and worried about that, he was just a hard worker...
A pair of slender palms came out from behind and replaced his hands, gently massaging him.
Zhong Yi stood behind him and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
"Who makes her the father of my wife..." Tangning held her waist and said, "But I've been really exhausted these past two days. Let's go home and relax..."
