Needless to say, Peng Shuang kept doing the same thing, which was a bit unspoken.
Not long after, Tan Shimin and Wei Hang were escorted up by officers and soldiers.
Peng Shuang immediately stared: "Kneel down!"
The county magistrate is the local parent. With such a bad official and such a vicious profiteer, how can the people live a good life? How can Peng Shuang not be angry?
The admiral shouted fiercely, with great power.
Tan Shimin and Wei Hang both shuddered and knelt down.
After kneeling down, although he felt that there was no hope, out of curiosity, Tan Shimin still asked cautiously: "May I ask who the superior officer is?"
Peng Shuang is the Duke of Dingguo. It is difficult for a county magistrate to meet him, let alone the emperor.
"This is not what you should ask!" Peng Shuang didn't look good.
"Yes, yes." Although Tan Shimin didn't know Xiao Yuan and the others, his career as an official had given him considerable knowledge.
The person above must be a military commander with a very high status.
But no matter how you look at it, the man sitting next to you drinking tea is the real owner, and the big man standing behind him is more like a door god, with an invisible protective posture.
Temperament is something that cannot be explained clearly, but it does exist.
After Tan Shimin secretly glanced at Xiao Yuan, he deepened his guess.
This person can't be.
Thinking of this, Tan Shimin's face suddenly changed, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He didn't dare to think about it any more.
But he couldn't help his Adam's apple sliding and swallowed hard.
After scolding and kneeling the two men, Peng Shuang went straight in and shouted straight to the point: "Tan Shimin! Let me ask you, when did you start collecting bribes from Wei Hang and colluding with him!"
Tan Shimin actually had no intention of struggling anymore, especially after guessing Xiao Yuan's identity, fear spread in his heart again.
The founding emperor, one can imagine.
He moved the corner of his mouth and was about to speak, but Wei Hang struggled first and shouted: "Sir! This is none of the villain's business. The villain has never bribed Magistrate Tan, and I don't know why he was arrested. !”
This is a survival instinct.
He doesn't have the same arrogant attitude as before in the county government.
"Have I asked you?" Peng Shuang's face turned cold and he said, "You are a bold and evil businessman who dares to roar in the court and disrupt the order. Come on, give me twenty canes!"
"No!" The guards on both sides responded immediately, separated two people, pushed him to the ground, and beat him with sticks.
The pitiful howl of a slaughtering pig rang out. Wei Hang never expected that his first words would be served with sticks, and he couldn't help shouting: "The villain is wronged! The villain is wronged -"
"If you dare to yell again, the punishment will be increased!"
Wei Hang shut up immediately. Every time the stick fell, he couldn't help but let out a scream. His face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At his seat, Xiao Yuan put down his teacup, picked up a document and read it.
That was what Wei Hang called an IOU before. He first looked down, then picked it up with one hand, shaking it at the light outside, and then said: "It's so fake, and I didn't even put my fingerprint on the signature. The high interest rate behind it is increasing." The content was also newly filled in later, right?"
"You dare to forge IOUs and blackmail you by force. It seems that you are indeed running rampant in the countryside and are lawless."
"Of course, this may also be related to Tan Shimin's escort."
"Really? Magistrate Tan."
Xiao Yuan said, looking at the latter.
Tan Shimin didn't dare to look at him. He lowered his head and didn't dare to reply easily.
Xiao Yuan picked up another contract of sale and read it.
After the beating with the stick, Wei Hang couldn't resist the beating because of his years of rotten life. He was already dying and lay on the ground unable to move for a long time.
At this time, the officers and soldiers also brought up a group of victims and the women who were under house arrest in the flower boat.
Everyone bowed down one after another, knelt down, saluted and shouted: "I have seen the imperial envoy——"
"Are all the people in the hall deeply poisoned by Wei Hang?" Peng Shuang asked directly.
"Yes, sir, please ask the imperial envoy to make the decision for the common people." The people and women were all talking, and it was a bit chaotic for a while.
"Quiet!" Peng Shuang said with a serious look on his face: "Now I will handle it, one by one, and whoever is asked will answer truthfully without any concealment!"
"Yes -" everyone responded in unison and fell silent.
Peng Shuang first looked at Zhang Laoliu: "Zhang Laoliu, your case is recent, you should talk first."
"Yes." Zhang Laoliu said tremblingly: "Master, the imperial envoy, the common people borrowed ten taels of silver from Wei Hang."
So he told the story exactly. In short, Wei Hang took a fancy to his daughter Zhang Xiaoyun, so he resorted to tricks to borrow money at usury, and then forced her to use her daughter to repay the debt.
Peng Shuang nodded clearly: "Zhang Laoliu, don't worry, Wei Hang's forged IOU has been proven, and such high interest is illegal."
Then he looked at a young girl: "As for the selling contract, Zhang Laoliu's daughter, please tell me what's going on."
"Yes." Zhang Xiaoyun said timidly: "That day, the women were doing laundry by the river."
She told them one by one, and finally said: "Wei Hang said that if the women of the people did not sign the selling contract, he would beat my father to death. Since then, he has made trouble every day and beaten my father many times. With this threat, he also threatened the people. The female controller forcibly pressed the fingerprint on it."
After hearing this, Peng Shuang was furious and wanted to kill the Wei Hang dog thief on the spot, but he heard Xiao Yuan cough.
He quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and said: "Zhang Xiaoyun, your confession has been recorded, and this case has been made clear to me. Don't worry, Da Qin has laws! And the sky net is extensive and there are no omissions! The evildoers will be punished. Deserved punishment!”
"Thank you, Lord Qincha!" Zhang Xiaoyun kowtowed and cried.
She looked weak and weak, and her voice was timid, but she didn't want to but was very loyal. From her confession, Peng Shuang learned that she had resisted desperately many times and refused to die.
Then came other victims.
People talked about it one by one, and some people also said that they were sad and couldn't help wiping away tears.
Someone was beaten to death over a farm matter. His family came to the county government to file a complaint, but he was jailed instead.
Someone provoked Wei Hang and was sentenced by Tan Shimin using his authority.
Some people were forced to sell their land.
All kinds of things
The most common thing is that Wei Hang uses usury to lend money and force people to sign a deed of prostitution. Moreover, those people are all the ones he likes when his daughter is in her prime. To put it bluntly, he has made the right move and has a clear plan.
After these women were forcibly abducted, most of them were placed under house arrest in a luxurious flower boat. Every few days, Wei Hang and Tan Shimin would enter the flower boat to have fun.
Those who get tired of being played will be sent to brothels, where they will continue to be forced into prostitution and forced to sell themselves.
Then Wei Hang sent people to find the target, specifically picking out girls with haircut hair, thinking they were forbidden.
To sum up, every crime committed by Wei Hang is appalling and can be described as outrageous and heinous.
His head was enough to be chopped off several times. (End of chapter)
