Shao Xi's request stunned Xing Wenxin, thinking to himself, it doesn't matter if you don't work in the government office, why are you in this cell now?
For a moment, he was confused and looked at Old Wu unconsciously. He found that no matter what happened, it seemed that Old Wu's words to this adult had some weight.
But when he saw Old Wu nodding towards him, he became even more puzzled.
Before he could ask, Old Wu whispered to him: "Ziyuan girl was imprisoned in this cell at the beginning, and she died unfortunately in this cell."
Xing Wenxin understood the meaning in an instant. It was indeed of great significance for Mr. Shao to handle this matter in this cell.
So he quickly turned around and ordered the jailer to arrange for people to transfer the prisoners in this cell to other cells. He also arranged for people to quickly clean out the cell, and brought in tables and chairs, pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Shao Xi sat in the main seat, and he sat in Shao Xi's subordinate seat, personally writing to record Shao Xi's decision.
After arranging everything, Xing Wenxin looked at Shao Xi with a questioning look. Shao Xi did not speak, but just nodded towards him.
Xing Wenxin said loudly to the jailer: "Bring the prisoners on this list here one by one."
As he said this, he handed the name list to the warder. The warder took the name list, did not dare to show any slightness, bowed his hands and ran out quickly.
It only took a moment to see the warder and the guards escorting a group of prisoners to the door of the cell.
Shao Xi saw Chen Mohuai walking in the front at first glance through the wooden fence.
Today, he is unkempt, his prison uniform is dirty and torn, and his face is full of decadence. He has obviously lost a lot of weight. He has long lost the commanding authority he once had. It seems that he has not eaten less during the few months he has been here. suffering.
The prisoners were escorted outside the cell door, and who came first and who came last had to wait for Shao Xi's decision.
So Xing Wenxin asked Shao Xi in a low voice: "Sir, who do you think you want to bring in first?"
Shao Xi originally wanted to mention Chen Mohuai first, but after thinking about it, he decided to mention him last.
If a person knows too early how he will die, he will be afraid, but when he already knows the result, he will give up early.
Shao Xi wants Chen Mohuai to be worried until the last moment. Even if it is only for a short time, he wants to make the culprit who killed Ye Ziyuan so worried that he will not know what his fate will be until the end. This is the way Mental torture at its best.
"Then let's mention Chang Jinhu first!"
"Yes, sir."
Xing Wenxin turned his head and said loudly to the outside of the cell: "My lord, I have a fate to commit Chang Jinhu!"
With the sound of shackles dragging on the ground, a tall man with a yellow face and beard was escorted into the cell by the jailer. He came to Shao Xi and was pushed to his knees on the ground.
In fact, Shao Xi did not know the former county captain Chang Jinhu, and had never even met him.
It's just because he has been working for Chen Mohuai for many years, colluding with various thieves to rob merchants along the way, and plundering the wealth of the people of Qingshan County. He is also a heinous person.
Shao Xi has no personal grudge against this person, but because what he did was really a heinous crime, Shao Xi must deal with him fairly.
Shao Xi looked at Chang Jinhu in front of him and asked sternly: "Chang Jinhu, you already know what crime you have committed. Do you know the conviction of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple?"
Chang Jinhu drooped his head. Shao Xi couldn't see clearly his expression at this time, but he only nodded dejectedly.
Xing Wenxin, who was on the side, shouted sternly, "My lord is asking you something, why don't you want to answer?"
Chang Jinhu saw that just nodding was not enough, so he had to reply dejectedly: "Chang Jinhu, a common man, knows the crime he has committed, and also knows that he cannot escape the death penalty. It is not a pity for a common man to die. I only hope that you can be noble and let my family members go." , they are all innocent people, the only fault is mine, please have mercy!"
Shao Xi saw that this guy's guilty plea seemed reasonable, so he glanced at Xing Wenxin and said to Chang Jinhu, "You helped the emperor to commit evil, acted as a slave to the tiger, harmed the people of Qingshan County and merchants along the way, took bribes and violated the law, and you should be punished for your crimes.
"The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have condemned you for the crime of exterminating the nine tribes. However, God has the virtue of good life, and the current saint has a compassionate heart. Now it has been found that your family members outside the three tribes have nothing to do with the crime you committed.
"So I sentence you to annihilate three tribes. Although the others are innocent, they are implicated by you. I sentence them to exile for thousands of miles. This is the greatest forgiveness for you."
Chang Jinhu also knew that Shao Xi's crime of annihilating nine tribes was now the greatest favor to his Chang family, and he did not dare to make any more excessive requests.
At this time, he was already filled with gratitude to Shao Xi. He kowtowed to Shao Xi three times and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
For the Chang family, this is the best result. Although one or two hundred people will die if the Yi clan is destroyed, at least the Chang clan is not wiped out.
At this time, he also understood that whoever had spent the dirty money he had obtained through corruption and perversion of the law would be unlucky. Since he had spent the money, he would now have to accept the punishment along with him.
Shao Xi just dealt with Chang Jinhu impartially, and seeing that he had no objection to it, he ordered someone to take him out.
Shao Xi glanced at the roster in his hand, pointed to the name Liu Hui on it and asked Xing Wenxin: "Master Xing, who is this Liu Hui?"
Xing Wenxin whispered back to Shao Xi: "Sir, you are very familiar with this person! This is the chief registrar of the county. When you investigated the Jiaku arson case, he went to the treasury with you to check Liang Daoqian's residence. You Don’t you remember?”
"Is this Mr. Liu?"
Xing Wenxin nodded to Shao Xi and replied: "That's exactly the person."
Shao Xi remembers very clearly that when Ye Ziyuan was imprisoned, he came to the county governor's house to find Chen Mohuai to ask for someone. Chief Secretary Liu and Cai Cheng were Chen Mohuai's second generals at the time.
He and Cai Cheng were two bad guys who specially gave Chen Mohuai some bad ideas. He was the one who reminded Chen Mohuai to ask for the treasury entry and exit records from him.
Moreover, on the night when Ye Ziyuan was killed, this guy and Cai Cheng did not leave the county governor's house all night. It is conceivable that Ye Ziyuan's murder had a great relationship with them. He and Cai Cheng also killed Ye Ziyuan. One of the main culprits.
Shao Xi gritted his teeth with hatred when he thought of him and Cai Cheng. The two cowards had knelt on the ground and begged him for mercy when he drew his sword at each other.
Now it seems that it was these two idiots' idea that Chen Mohuai sent his bastard son to the prison to humiliate Ye Ziyuan.
So Shao Xi said nothing and just clicked on the names of Liu Hui and Cai Cheng.
Xing Wen was confident that he understood the meaning, and shouted loudly to the cell door: "Bring in the prisoners Liu Hui and Cai Cheng!"
There was another "clattering" sound of shackles being dragged, and two people who looked as embarrassed as Chang Jinhu were pushed and pushed into the cell by the jailers.
As soon as these two people came in, they knelt down in front of Shao Xi without waiting for Shao Xi to ask questions. They knew very well who the person in front of them was, and they also knew very well what would happen to them next.
But these two shameless men, who were full of men and women who stole prostitutes, kowtowed to Shao Xi and begged for mercy.
"Master Shao, it was the villain who offended Master Shao because of his blindness. I really had no intention of going against Master Shao. The original matter had nothing to do with the villain. I beg Master Shao to spare my life."
When Cai Cheng saw Liu Hui begging for mercy first, he was afraid that if he was a little slower, he would not get a chance to speak.
"Master Shao, the villain Cai Cheng never showed any slightest care when he went to Wan County to pick up you and Master Wu. Everything the villain did was forced by Chen Mohuai, and he really couldn't help himself.
"Now that the villain knows his crime, he begs Master Shao to spare his life. In the next life, the villain will work as a cow and horse to repay Master Shao for not killing him. Please, Master Shao, please, Master Shao!" "
Shao Xi was really angry when he saw the two people in front of him who were greedy for life and afraid of death. He thought to himself how many bad ideas did you two give Chen Mohuai behind his back?
But now, it's good that when death is imminent, he has completely removed all the blame on himself and revealed the villain's face.
With these two scourges, keeping them would be the greatest injustice to the people of Qingshan County.
If it hadn't been for these two dog-headed military advisors, Chen Hanbin would not have had the guts to go to the prison late at night and do something as bad as a pig or a dog.
These two guys colluded with Chen Mohuai and made plans. They have become a scourge. If they are not killed, the people will not be angry.
"Shut up, you two! You know best what you have done. Over the years, you have been collaborating with Chen Mohuai, making suggestions for him, plundering people's wealth, and harming people.
"The murder of Ye Ziyuan was inseparable from you two shameless men. Now I think of begging for mercy. I said at the beginning that if I don't kill you at that time, I will not let you go in the future. Now you It's too late to regret.
"The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have sentenced you to death and will punish the nine tribes. How many innocent people in your tribe have been implicated by you? Do you still have the nerve to beg for mercy from me at this time? How can you be worthy of the people of Qingshan County if you don't kill them?
"I have now found out that there are indeed some people in your clan who know nothing about what you are doing. I will naturally exempt these people from death penalty, but you two and the relevant people in your clan will not be punished. Can't escape.
"I hereby sentence you two to five hundred knives each. You will be executed for one day. All relevant members of the clan will be executed. This is the fate you deserve. Take them both down with me!"
When the two heard this, they immediately began to cry and burst into tears.
Ling Chi's five hundred cuts, one day of execution, means that he will be chopped alive for a whole day!
How could they care about the other people in the clan at this time? Not to mention begging for life, even begging Shao Xi to let them die quickly has become a luxury hope now.
Shao Xi didn't care about them and ordered the jailer to drag these two guys out with tears and snot on their faces like dead dogs.
Then Shao Xi pointed his finger at Chen Mohuai's name on the roster, and Xing Wenxin understood.
"Come on! Drag the criminal Chen Mohuai in!"
