Peeling off someone's face? They have never done this kind of thing. Perhaps, this kind of thing can only exist in the prison of Jin Yiwei.
It is estimated that Lan Liqun was already in pain to death before his face was peeled off.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Lan Liqun was already trembling with fear, and his face was drained of blood. He lay on the ground, ignoring the pain caused by the broken cheekbones on his face, and struggled and shouted: "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Recruiting them all.”
However, without Xiao Chen's consent, the captains had to carry out the order even if Lan Liqun shouted at the top of his lungs. Without saying a word, they picked up Lan Liqun, who was lying limply on the ground, and dragged him out the door.
One of the captains even took out his knife, then took out a piece of cloth and wiped it, and began to prepare a tool for robbing people.
"Wait." Xiao Chen looked at the struggling Lan Liqun, picked up a few blank papers from the desk, picked up pen and ink, walked over and placed them on the ground in front of Lan Liqun.
"Write down all your crimes."
With cold sweat on his head, Lan Liqun no longer dared to quibble. He crawled on the ground, reached out and grabbed the brush placed on the inkstone, and began to write his crime with a trembling hand.
At this time, a co-president of Yizhou Prefectural Government returned from the prison.
Seeing Lan Liqun trembling on the ground writing a confession, and looking at his swollen cheeks like steamed buns, he already understood what was going on.
"Sir, all matters in the prison have been arranged." Holding his fists, Na Tongzhi reported to Xiao Chen.
Just now, Lan Liqun arranged for this person to lead Duan Tianming to the prison, but Xiao Chen didn't know who this person was.
"Who are you?" Looking at the other person, Xiao Chen asked softly.
"For your information, sir, I am Li Fengming, a fellow scholar in Yizhou."
"Li Tongzhi, all affairs in Yizhou will be handled by you before the imperial court sends a new magistrate to take office. Now, you are leading the state government's policemen to arrest all members of the Yizhou Guards to the state government.
." Xiao Chen ordered.
"I obey," Li Tongzhi responded crisply.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he turned back and asked, "Sir, if all the guards are arrested, what will happen to the city gate? Leave some of the guards to guard it temporarily?"
"Well, arrange for some policemen to be on duty at the city gate. I will arrange for two Dongchang captains to go with you. If there is resistance, they will be killed on the spot." As he said this, Xiao Chen waved to the two captains beside him.
There are a lot of problems in Yizhou Yamen. Since I have chosen to clean it up, I will clean up this Yamen thoroughly.
Not long after, Lan Liqun had written two large sheets full of his accusations.
Looking at the dense fonts, Xiao Chen sneered: "If you had confessed earlier, why would you have to suffer this crime?"
Lan Liqun did not dare to refute and continued to write his confession.
From having ordered guards to collect various fees from merchants in the city, to escorting the Ouyang family's counterfeiting and counterfeiting, as well as the number of movie tickets he hid in his residence, as well as other properties he purchased, all were written down in his confession word for word.
superior.
...
Three days later, Xiao Chen sat in the lobby of the state government office with a serious look on his face, with Duan Tianming standing next to him.
Under the hall, on both sides stood the fully armed Dongchang school captain and the state Yamen officer.
In the center of the hall, three people were kneeling. Lan Liqun, the head of the Ouyang family, and the leader of the guards.
Glancing at Li Tongzhi standing in the hall, Xiao Chen said: "Li Tongzhi, has the execution ground been arranged in the suburbs?"
Li Tongzhi clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I'm ready."
"Take the three men under the hall to the execution ground and behead them in public to show the law of the country. You will carry out the execution this time." Xiao Chen gave the order.
"Yes." Li Tongzhi responded loudly.
The state police officers and the law enforcement team who were waiting outside the door quickly walked in, picked up the three people who were already shackled, and dragged them outside.
Li Tongzhi waved his right hand, and many government officials in the hall followed him out.
The street outside the state government office was already full of people, waiting to see who the big shots in Yizhou were to be sentenced to death today.
Glancing at Xiao Chen who continued to sit on the chair, Duan Tianming asked in a low voice: "Aren't we going to the execution ground today?"
"I won't go. Let Yizhou Yamen finish the matter in Yizhou." Xiao Chen shook his head gently.
Looking at Xiao Chen, who was not in a high mood, Duan Tianming approached him and said, "You're not usually like this. What's wrong? Is there something going on these days?"
In the past few days, Duan Tianming has been busy registering with Butler Zhang one by one and selling off the Ouyang family's properties. He has been busy since getting up in the morning until midnight. He really has no involvement in Xiao Chen's affairs.
"The factory official has sent a secret edict, urging us to finish the work here and return to the capital as soon as possible." Xiao Chen opened his right hand and rubbed his forehead.
"Return to the capital quickly? Does the emperor have anything important to do?" Duan Tianming was stunned.
Since the founding of Dongchang, there has never been anything that made the factory owner use the word "quickly". What kind of problem is this that cannot be solved?
Xiao Chen shook his head: "I don't know if it's Dongchang or the Emperor. By the way, did you leave any property for Ouyang Xiaoke?"
"Following your instructions, I found Ouyang Xiaoke who was staying at an inn in the city. I left him a few shops and some silver coins, which was enough for him to live out his life," Duan Tianming said.
"Well, if Butler Zhang is willing, let him follow Ouyang Xiaoke, and the two of them will depend on each other. The matter in Yizhou is over. When Li Tongzhi comes back and resumes his life, we will set off back to Beijing."
...
In the East Factory Hall, Lin Shangli was walking back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Lizi stood aside respectfully, holding the fly whisk in both hands, staring at the factory owner's constantly moving footsteps, feeling a little panicked in his heart.
Yesterday morning, Li An, the Minister of Punishment, took the lead in raising objections to Xiao Chen's public execution of Cangcheng, the Minister of Rites.
Ming Chengzu didn't pay attention, thinking that this was just the Ministry of Punishment's dissatisfaction with Xiao Chen's overstepping of authority.
He casually said, "My dear friends, what do you think of this matter?" Unexpectedly, the entire court unanimously believed that this matter was inappropriate and unworthy of the country.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Punishment is the highest criminal organization of the imperial court. Especially when it comes to dealing with court officials such as the Minister of Rites, they can be dealt with at will without going through the procedures of the Ministry of Punishment, even if they are wearing purple clothes, which is contrary to common sense.
Faced with the voice of the whole dynasty, Ming Chengzu was a little embarrassed for a while. Although he could completely suppress this voice with his own majesty, he also asked the officials for their opinions. If this happened, he would suppress it with force.
, I'm afraid it will leave something to say.
With a dark face, Ming Chengzu announced his resignation from the court, and then ordered Wang Xiaosi to inform Dongchang of the situation.
"Mr. Factory Master, will Xiao Chen be in any danger this time?" Xiao Lizi asked uneasily.
Lin Shangli stopped: "There shouldn't be any danger. I'm just afraid that someone could take off his unicorn purple clothes."
