The new magistrate of Fu'an County has also arrived. He was originally an editor of the Hanlin Academy, a native of Jiangsu, and a 26-year-old white-faced scholar.
He looks decent and handsome, and his wife is also pretty.
Well, to describe it in one sentence: Yu Qian’s wife is called Bai Nen.
Jiang Qiusheng: "...Master Gu, we still have a lot to do."
He calmly stood in front of his wife, blocking the sight of Gu Chen's thief.
Don’t they all say that Mr. Gu is a decent person?
How could he look at someone else's wife like this?
Mrs. Jiang also lowered her head and covered her face with her sleeves unhappily.
Gu Chen looked away with some embarrassment and explained softly.
"Master Jiang doesn't know that my wife gave birth to my youngest son the night before I left Beijing. I didn't have time to accompany him, so he left in a hurry."
"Now that I see Mr. Jiang and his wife, and the whole family reunited and having fun together, I feel very envious in my heart."
"I didn't mean to offend, but Mr. Wangjiang is just weird."
It is true that your daughter-in-law is good-looking, and it is also true that when he looks at your daughter-in-law, he thinks of his own daughter-in-law.
"I see." After hearing this, Jiang Qiusheng was no longer angry: "Well, Mr. Gu, let's do business first. Officials from the Ministry of Punishment are also here."
Just don't covet his wife.
Wang Anfu, the magistrate of Fu'an County, stole wives and daughters, accepted bribes, and misappropriated tax revenue totaling 200,000 yuan. He also committed more than ten major crimes such as smuggling foreign countries and communicating with Japanese invaders.
This was a charge that was jointly agreed upon by officials from Yingtian's Ministry of Punishment, the Department of Punishment and Prosecution, and the Inspector's Censor, and every detail was true.
Lao Zhu's verdict was: "Ling Chi shall be executed, and the three tribes of Yi and Qi shall be executed."
Why Lingchi execution?
This term was actually invented in the Liao Dynasty, and was commonly known as "death by a thousand cuts", which was the most severe criminal law in feudal society.
In the Liao Dynasty, "Lingchi" was used to punish those who wanted to rebel and endanger the emperor's dominance.
After arriving at Lao Zhu's place, it was occasionally used to punish corrupt officials.
Hearing the words "Lingchi execution", Wang Anfu was so frightened that he wet his pants.
"I didn't commit any of those six things, so why do I do this? Why do I do this?"
The "Da Ming Code" stipulates that those who commit rebellion and treason will be punished by death at Lingchi.
Those who kill their elders, those whose wives and concubines kill their husbands, those who kill three people in a family which is not a capital crime and those who mutilate people, those who harvest raw materials and mutilate people, those who kill their employers as slaves, are executed late.
These regulations do not include corrupt officials.
Corrupt officials are usually punished by hanging, that is, they are hanged in front of everyone.
Although it is quite tragic, at least a whole body can be left, right?
You said he was just a little guy, so why should he be executed in a hurry?
Is he worthy?
Gu Chen looked at him with some pity from across the cell. How to say this kind of thing? After all, the right of interpretation belongs to Lao Zhu.
He insists on using you to scare the monkeys, so what can you do?
Are you saying he doesn't obey the law?
Okay, okay, then at worst, he will immediately add an official who is greedy for as much money as possible, and he can be sentenced to death in Lingchi.
What's so hard about this?
"The emperor is a fool, Emperor Zhu is a fool, he is the same fool as Yang Guang."
"He's going to die badly. He's definitely not going to end well."
Wang Anfu couldn't accept this result and began to roar crazily.
"Obviously, his nephew also robs people's wives and daughters, plunders people's wealth and anointing, and also takes bribes. How can he only have a good coffin after his death?"
"Why?"
"Why do we want to cut them to death with a thousand swords, barbarize the three tribes, and hang our heads on the city wall? Why doesn't he barbarize Zhu Huan's three tribes?"
"Haha, does he think all corrupt officials will be killed? There is no one who is not corrupt."
"How greedy am I? If I have the ability, I will let Zhu Chongba kill everyone in the world..."
Seeing how crazy he was, Gu Chen shook his head helplessly.
Turn around and leave.
In fact, to be honest, Gu Chen can understand if you want to be greedy.
After all, the salary in Hongwu Dynasty was very low, but you did too much in other things.
He couldn't stand the idea of not treating ordinary people as human beings at all.
You deserve it, you really deserve this outcome.
The execution scene was too bloody, and Gu Chen was unwilling to watch it.
However, people from the Ministry of Punishment forcibly pulled him over and said they needed his signature before the execution could be carried out.
They were used to seeing this scene. Gu Chen had never seen it but felt goosebumps all over his body and his scalp was numb.
Looking at Xinzhi County, it's not much better. His face is almost as white as flour.
Lao Zhu used this trick very well. From now on, this guy will probably have to think twice when he wants to be greedy. He will be a lifelong shadow, right?
Only Wang Anfu was sentenced to death, and most of the other officials were beheaded. There were no Yi and Qi tribes, and only the whole family was beheaded.
The man who stole the girl, Liu Qianhu, gave her a glass of poisoned wine.
What Lao Zhu meant was that he had made meritorious service to the country, so he should be treated with dignity.
After everything was settled, Gu Chen said goodbye to Jiang Qiusheng and rushed to the next county.
At this time, a letter came from the prefect, saying that he had a letter from his family and a lot of winter clothes. Since the messenger didn't know where he was, he sent it to the prefecture.
Gu Chen asked Xiao Anzi and Tou Shi to go there and buy some dragon beard candies.
He tried many restaurants, but the one on Fuzhou Fudong Street made the best food.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty summoned Xue Dafang to Beijing to report on his work, but at this time he fell seriously ill. I heard that he couldn't even get out of bed."
As the son of Wei Guogong, Xu Zengshou still has a lot of face among various forces.
Therefore, he is much more flexible than Gu Chen when it comes to inquiring about information.
"Oh?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Then the people from Beizhen Fusi didn't catch him and just let him get sick?"
He didn't believe it. The Jin Yiwei of Beizhen Fusi couldn't see his intention to escape.
"His Majesty did not issue a decree to convict him. He just asked him to return to Beijing to report on his duties."
"Of course, Jin Yiwei is not easy to force."
He just felt a little uneasy, always feeling that the guy was holding back some bad tricks.
"Sir, we have to be careful. Fang Zhiya died inexplicably in the prison. When people go crazy, they don't care about anything."
His father said that when you are on the battlefield, there is no way to escape.
Then just stop escaping and kill as many as you can.
You won’t feel lonely on the road to Huangquan.
He was afraid that Fang Zhiya, who was already in the back alley, would do something terrible.
Gu Chen: "Well, indeed, you should send someone to find Marquis Deqing now, ask him to send more people to us, and then go and see Master Gao and others..."
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what might happen. What if the man named Xue goes crazy?
Xue's study room.
"Sir, do we really want to take action?" Xue Dafang's men were still hesitant. He said in fear: "The one next to Gu Yushi is the son of Wei Guogong."
"Also, the other censors are all the sons of dukes."
"They are the sons of the founding general of our country. If anything happens to them, a few dukes can skin us."
Although Chang Yuchun, the god of death, has long since died, Xu Datang and Geng Bingwen are not easy to mess with. Is this too risky?
Could it be that originally the Yi Tribe was enough, but in the end it became the Zhujiu Tribe?
"I can't control that much anymore. If I can kill one, I'll count it as one."
Xue Dafang wrote to Xue Xian two months ago, hoping that he could help him.
Unexpectedly, they wrote back and said that the adoption of the adopted son was just a joke. He had a father and a mother, so he would not be his adopted father.
With just these words, Xue Dafang knew that he was finished.
And all this was caused by those four damn censors.
He must kill them and take them to death with him.
So what about the nine clans? If he kills several sons of the prince, he will not live in vain.
Worth it!
After Gu Chen arrived in Ningde County, he stayed in the county government office as usual.
The county magistrate was very obedient and explained everything honestly without him having to ask any questions.
He is better than Wang Anfu, he only greeded for 100,000 yuan.
And there is no harm to anyone's life, no perverted act of robbing someone's wife or daughter.
"Sure, then you can go to jail and rest. I wish you a normal death."
Being so honest, he shouldn't be a member of the Yi clan, and he wouldn't need to be executed by Ling Chi.
They had just put the person in jail when suddenly there was a sound of shouting and killing outside. At this time, a guard hurried in.
"Sir, it's not good. There has been a civil uprising outside. Many people came to our Yamen, and they all came with knives and ladders."
