You beat my daughter and maimed my son-in-law's right hand. Even if you have a great excuse, as a commoner, who gives you the right to enforce the law?
By enforcing the law impartially, I just give myself the confidence to stand tall and speak up.
And you, the murderer who caused trouble in the county government, can only take the pain off my mind by apologizing for it with death.
Reasonable? What I am least afraid of are reasonable people.
Today, I will let you die under your own principles.
Staring at Xiao Chen, Fang Dayi, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture, had already thought of a hundred ways for Xiao Chen to die.
"The law of the Ming Dynasty advocates that when you encounter a great evil person, everyone should punish him. I wonder if you know this?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"A great evil person?" Fang Dayi waved his hand, "Where is there a great evil person in this hall? My daughter caused the old man to be injured, and I have already made compensation. And my son-in-law is an official of the imperial court, you say he is a great evil
Where do you place the Ministry of Rites responsible for scientific examinations? Where do you place the Ministry of Personnel responsible for inspecting officials and arranging positions? Do you mean that they are all blind and have arranged for a great evil person to be the official of Cang County?
"
Xiao Chen was startled.
Good guy, have these two departments of rites and officials been brought out?
His ability to pin people down is not inferior to that of Dongchang.
Seeing Xiao Chen's hesitation, Fang Dayi pressed forward step by step: "Besides, the person responsible for punishment is the Ministry of Punishment of the imperial court. You, a commoner, casually attack the imperial officials, which is extremely cruel. In your eyes, you put the Ministry of Punishment at the top of the list."
where?"
"Sir, the magistrate ordered me to be beaten to death, and also to beat the injured old man to death. Isn't this kind of official who treats human life as child's play a very evil person?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Are you dead? Is the old man dead? Who in this lobby has seen the magistrate give such an order?"
"Oh?" Xiao Chen's eyes gradually turned cold, and he pointed at Duan Tianming, "He heard it, the old man heard it, and the county government officials also heard it."
"They are all parties to this case, and their testimonies do not count." Fang Dayi looked at the officials in Cangxian County, "Have you seen that the county magistrate gave orders casually and disregarded human lives?"
"No, no." Several government officials waved their hands hurriedly, "The master has never done such a thing."
Fang Dayi had a winner's smile on his face: "How about it? Let's just surrender. As long as you stop resisting, I promise that I will only punish you. If you insist on going against the government, your family and relatives will be punished."
They were implicated one by one. It’s hard to say what their final fate will be.”
"Alas." Xiao Chen sighed, "I am just a commoner, but you have joined forces to put me to death. Faced with the unanimous opinions of the entire government, I really can't defend myself."
"Official, what you said is true. Think about your family and don't think about running away. If you escape now, I will carry out a purge of the entire Cang County. By then, don't talk about your relatives, they are yours
In this village, anyone who has interacted with you, I can put a crime on them and let them die."
Looking at Xiao Chen, Fang Dayi looked like he was convinced of you.
"You don't even plan to let the villagers go?"
"Humph." Fang Dayi snorted coldly and raised his head, "I have brought more than a hundred people and have already surrounded the county government office. If you just obey and capture, many people will die."
"More than a hundred people? That's quite a lot of people." Xiao Chen smiled lightly.
"All the police officers from Hejian Prefecture are here, you should feel honored."
"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. What I mean is that there are so many people. If I want to capture them all, it will take a lot of work." Xiao Chen looked at Duan Tianming again and said: "Captain Duan, the person whom the magistrate called is basically here."
It's almost done, you can also call our people."
Duan Tianming nodded and walked out of the county government hall.
He took out a firework from his arms and lit it with a fire stick.
A streak of blue smoke shot straight into the sky.
When it reached a position of more than ten feet, it made a loud noise.
A huge light blue smoke ball spread out in the air.
Looking at the fireworks, the prefect Fang Dayi felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Does this person have any accomplices?
He actually wants to capture all of his more than 100 people?
How many people does he have to have?
The Shenji Commander lived outside the city, and the Dongchang summoning fireworks had just taken off. All the captains put down their things, got on their horses, and galloped towards the direction of the fireworks.
In a short time, the entire street was filled with the deafening sound of horse hooves, and billowing dust followed the team, heading towards the county government office.
Fang Dayi secretly screamed that something was wrong, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
I regretted very much in my heart that I did not ask the Tianjin Guard Commander to arrange for the soldiers to come with me.
When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, the captains dismounted and surrounded the entire county government office together with the Hejian Prefecture police officers outside.
Seeing someone surrounding him, a police officer's face darkened: "Who are you?"
"Shut up." A captain held a fire blunderbuss, and the black muzzle of the blunderbuss was already pressed against his head.
Xiao Chen slowly walked to the entrance of the lobby and pointed at the old man beside Duan Tianming: "Except for the old man, take down everyone. If there is resistance, kill them on the spot."
At this moment, Fang Dayi regretted and wanted to kick the magistrate of Cangxian County to death while he was lying on the ground.
What kind of existence did this mess with?
A team of several hundred people held firecrackers. Only a blind person would still think that they were ordinary people.
In a short time, everyone, including Fang Dayi, the prefect of Hejian, was tied up by Wuhua Da.
"Brother Xiao, what should we do with this big black dog and this little spotted dog?" A school captain walked in quietly and whispered.
"The big black dog is so fat, it would be a waste not to kill it for meat. As for the little spotted dog, just throw it into a ditch in the wild and let it experience what it means to be self-reliant."
"Don't, don't throw away my dog."
The young woman shouted loudly.
"Oh, for the sake of a dog, you don't even care about your parents being in danger. This is just playing with a pet to lose one's morale. Then don't throw this puppy away, kill it together and eat its meat." Xiao Chen said calmly.
Fang Dayi's face was livid, and the bright official uniform of the imperial court was tied tightly with ropes, looking extremely ironic.
"Who are you?" Fang Dayi asked, staring at Xiao Chen.
"Nosy people." Xiao Chen let it slip.
Duan Tianming felt a headache as he looked at the hundred and ten prisoners who almost filled the county government office lobby.
"We have a mission. We have arrested so many people at once. What should we do?"
"Arrange a group of brothers to send them back to the capital and hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment. By the way, I would like to ask Mr. Li to investigate their past. Especially the magistrate of Cang County, carefully investigate how many lives he has in his hands, and then deal with them sternly.
"
On the streets of Cangxian County, there were two teams for a while.
A team escorted the prisoners and headed towards the capital.
The other team was lying on the ground in the county government office, preparing to continue their journey when the weather got cold.
Beijing, Ministry of Justice.
After handing over the prisoner to the captain of Dongchang, Li An, the Minister of Punishment, slowly turned around and prepared to leave.
"Sir." Fang Dayi, the prefect of Hejian, stopped him.
"Is something wrong?" Li An turned around.
"May I ask, sir, who is it that arrested me? Why did I directly report to you, sir?" Fang Dayi said in confusion.
"Who is he?" Li An turned around and looked at Fang Dayi like a fool, "The prefect still doesn't know who the other party is? Then you can't be arrested for no reason, right? So many people have been arrested.
Get up, my lord, you don’t even ask who they are, and you just let them go without a fight?”
Are there any such stupid people in the world?
"He said he was a commoner. However, how could a commoner lead a team of several hundred people, and hold firecrackers? May I ask, sir, are they from the Shenji Camp in the capital?" Er An looked at Li An.
After tasting his official uniform, Fang Dayi asked sincerely.
"Alas." Li An sighed, "As the magistrate of Hejian, you really died without knowing it. Until now, you still don't know that you have offended someone who no one dares to offend in the entire Ming Dynasty.
"
"In the entire Ming Dynasty, no one dares to offend this person?" Fang Dayi's eyes widened, and he was even more confused.
"Think about it for yourself, who should you least offend in today's imperial court?"
"Jinyiwei? Dongchang?" Fang Dayi exclaimed, "Is he the purple-clothed captain?"
"If you still have some brains, he is the purple-clad captain of Dongchang." Li An said calmly.
Fang Dayi's face turned pale and he sat down on the ground.
"Please explain your situation properly. The Criminal Department does not dare to neglect the cases sent by Dongchang. If you explain more, the Criminal Department will be able to avoid unnecessary detours. In the Prison of the Criminal Department, I can make people do more to you.
Take care of it."
Staring at Fang Dayi, Li An smiled.
Xiao Chen is really interesting.
This case is settled, Your Majesty, I have made another meritorious service.
