The next day.
Xiao Chen took Ji Hongluan and got on the carriage heading to Tianlao.
Ji Hongluan's eyebrows were slightly worried: "Would it be a bit hasty to execute corrupt officials immediately?"
"Since we are going to take action, we must be as quick as thunder."
Xiao Chen smiled lightly and gently held Ji Hongluan's hand: "What's more, you have to believe in me and my strength!"
Ji Hongluan looked at the confidence and calmness in Xiao Chen's eyes and felt a little emotional.
Beautiful women naturally love heroes.
And Xiao Chen is indeed a courageous and heroic "hero".
Even Ji Hongluan felt a little emotional in her heart.
If we were born in troubled times, people like Xiao Chen would probably be able to become kings and call the shots.
Not long after, the two came to the Tianlao.
Entering the depths of the cell, those corrupt officials had already eaten their last meal.
Their faces were filled with sadness, pain, regret...it was all kinds of colors.
But no matter what, there is always a hidden undertone of pain.
After all, not everyone can face death calmly.
Jiang Rongfeng was quite a free and easy person, and he was having sex with the corrupt official in the next cell:
"Even if I die, I have nothing to say!"
"After all, I have been free and happy, and my bloodline has been passed down... I am worthy of my ancestors!"
And when Xiao Chen came over, they all fixed their eyes on Xiao Chen, and the sound of crying could also be heard:
"Lord Governor! I am willing to make up for my mistakes, and I am willing to correct Zhou Tianfu... Please spare my life!"
"Sir, you have a lot, please let me go!"
"Lord Governor, as long as you are willing to let me go, I can do anything for you..."
"..."
But Xiao Chen just waved his hand with a cold face, and there were many guards over there, sneaking out these corrupt officials.
Only Jiang Rongfeng remained calm, straightened his clothes, stood up and left.
Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Rongfeng and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Jiang Rongfeng, I will send someone to take care of your wife and children! They will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future."
"I can even send your son to study if he wants!"
Jiang Rongfeng shook his head:
"Forget it, Lord Governor!"
"I already understand that Vanity Fair is a big dyeing vat. If possible, I hope you will let my son become a doctor or a craftsman!"
"Don't go to officialdom either."
Xiao Chen smiled: "Okay, I agree to this."
Xiao Chen is not a stingy person, but Jiang Rongfeng is very cooperative.
Taking care of his son should not be a big problem...
Xiao Chen watched the officials being taken out of the prison one by one, like chickens and ducks being skewered.
Then Xiao Chen and Ji Hongluan came to the execution ground together.
At this time, many people were watching here.
Seeing those corrupt officials acting like cattle and horses waiting to be slaughtered, the crowd around them became excited!
"Corrupt official! This dog official deserves to die!"
"Thanks to the Governor of Dongchang, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to take revenge!"
"These dog officials deserve to die..."
"..."
Xiao Chen looked at the blazing anger in the eyes of those dishonest people, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
In today's era, the common people are like cattle and horses... no, they are like soil that can be trampled on by others.
I wonder if my future self can bring changes to this stagnant water!
He came to the high platform, took the token, and threw it directly on the ground:
"The criminals Jiang Rongfeng and Ma Zhiyi... formed cliques for personal gain, embezzled the state treasury, disregarded human lives, bought and sold official positions..."
"Several crimes shall be punished at the same time, and they shall be executed immediately!"
The executioner's knife was raised high and then quickly lowered.
Blood spattered, and each head rolled to the ground like a ball.
What followed was a tsunami of cheers from the people.
Xiao Chen's face was still cold and hard.
he knows.
The big scene is yet to come!
After the execution was completed, Xiao Chen prepared to attack and reported the matter to Chu Yanwu.
As a result, as soon as he entered the palace, he saw a familiar figure appear.
His eyes narrowed.
This man is the commander of the guards of the Zhou Mansion.
And what surprised Xiao Chen was that both his and his goals seemed to be the Government Affairs Palace.
Xiao Chen kept an eye on it, took a step slowly, and listened carefully.
"My father-in-law, please inform your majesty that my prime minister has a sudden heart attack and will die soon. I just hope that I can see your majesty before he dies! Please allow your majesty to allow the prime minister to enter the palace despite his illness!"
When Xiao Chen heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He thought for a while and then quickly followed.
At this time, the guard commander had already entered the government palace.
Chu Yanwu couldn't help but show joy on his face, but there was a hint of embarrassment in his tone:
"I have important things to deal with now and I don't have time to meet Zhou Tianfu!"
The guard looked mournful and probably knelt down:
"Your Majesty, my prime minister serves the country and the people!"
"This is his last wish!"
"If you really want to do this, he will die with his eyes open."
Chu Yanwu chuckled: "Then let him die in peace!"
The guard commander had no choice but to quickly retreat, while Xiao Chen went in to report his duties to Chu Yanwu.
Chu Yanwu asked Xiao Chen a lot of things this time, and even vaguely mentioned how to deal with Zhou Tianfu.
The two hadn't chatted for half an hour when hurried footsteps sounded outside the door again.
The person who came to report this time was Chen Jin:
"Your Majesty! Hundreds of people from all over the Zhou family are kneeling at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and are now mourning in the direction of the palace!"
"It is said that Zhou Tianfu only wants to see His Majesty. This is his last long-cherished wish...and there are many people watching there. If it is not handled well, it may arouse public outrage!"
Xiao Chen didn't feel surprised when he heard this.
Zhou Tianfu can do this kind of thing.
What's more, the current situation does not allow him to be conceited!
Chu Yanwu's eyes were full of coldness:
"What a Zhou family member, this song is really superb!"
Chen Jin said tentatively: "Your Majesty, I think you still have to handle this matter carefully. If you don't do it right, others may think you are trying to kill the donkey!"
Chu Yanwu frowned and said, "If we really want Zhou Tianfu to come in, there will probably be complications... But if he is not allowed to come over, there will be problems!"
"Then let's strengthen the guards in the palace and bring in some of the Yulin Guards and Royal Forest Army! Then declare him into the palace!"
It makes sense for him to do so.
With military protection, there will definitely be no surprises.
Chen Jin nodded: "I understand, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements now!"
And Xiao Chen also said appropriately: "Your Majesty, now the case of Concubine Rong and the aftermath of the execution of officials from the six departments need to be dealt with by the ministers!"
"I'm afraid I can't stay any longer. Please allow me to leave first!"
Chu Yanwu waved his hand: "You go first!"
Xiao Chen turned around and walked out.
But he did not return to his private residence immediately, but went to Zhao Jieyu's palace first.
