When the girls talked about their experiences, every one of them cried. Moreover, each of their wrists and ankles had traces of being tied with chains.
After all the victims had finished telling their stories, everyone present felt deeply angry.
The county guards standing on both sides looked at Wei Hang with fire in their eyes. If it hadn't been for the law, they would have gone up to hit people with sticks.
Peng Shuang gritted his teeth and punched the table with a bang. Lao Gao shook everything on it with a bang: "The dog thief is extremely hateful! How dare he insult the people of our country like this! He should be torn into pieces!" "
Even Xiao Yuan's face darkened.
The crowd of people watching outside let out incredible exclamations, followed by public outrage:
"Oh my god, how come we have such evil people in Taikang County!"
"Those girls were kidnapped by him, and their families complained, but every time, Tan Shimin used the prostitution contract to sentence Wei Hangying."
"this is too scary"
"Wei Hang, the evil man, deserves to die! The dog officer deserves to die even more! If it weren't for his protection, how could the evil man dare to ignore the law!"
"That's right! Tan Shimin also committed a heinous crime!"
"Kill the dog officer! Kill the evil businessman!"
"Kill the dog officer! Kill the evil businessman——"
After the angry discussion, the people began to raise their arms and shout.
Listening to the fierce public opinion, Wei Hang turned pale with fright, while Tan Shimin was heartbroken.
"Everyone be silent!" Peng Shuangshuang slapped the wooden door tightly: "Such evil people have their own laws of the Qin Dynasty!"
The crowd gradually became quiet, and they all watched this shocking case without blinking.
"Wei Hang!" Peng Shuang's eyes were as bright as fire: "The people have complained about everything. You can plead guilty!"
"The villain is wronged." When it comes to his family and life, Wei Hang will not give up easily. After trembling, he seemed to suddenly react: "Them! They are all making false accusations! Yes, yes, they are falsely accusing the villain, Your Excellency, it is clear to you.”
"This is unreasonable!" Peng Shuang was furious: "There are sixteen people in the hall who don't know each other. They will sue you together without any purpose!"
"Okay! In that case, I have you convinced!"
"Do you think these are the only witnesses?"
"Jin" Peng Shuanggang was about to say Jin Yiwei, but he immediately changed his words: "The guards have already secretly investigated. Not only did they destroy your criminal flower boat, but they also searched for a series of criminal evidence! There were also confessions from your servants, and now there are both witnesses and material evidence. Now, you still dare to deny it!?"
"Ah!?" When Wei Hang heard this, he collapsed on the ground and there was no more sound.
"Tan Shimin!"
Before Peng Shuang could continue to ask, the latter had already said in a hoarse voice: "The villain pleads guilty. What the people have complained about are all facts and there are no mistakes."
This was somewhat beyond Peng Shuang's expectations.
However, Xiao Yuan could understand Tan Shimin's psychology, took a deep breath, looked at him and said, "I have a question."
Hearing this, Tan Shimin lowered his head: "Yes."
Xiao Yuandao: "If it is correct, you should have obtained the title in Qinzhou before the unification of the world. You first became a civil servant, and then upon the recommendation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you were promoted to the county magistrate step by step."
"It's not easy to be promoted to county magistrate. Why?"
"You are also a scholar. After ten years of hard work, you have been able to gain fame and fame. What are your ideals and ambitions?"
What is scary is not the evil people, but the evil officials.
Talking about ideals and ambitions, Tan Shimin cried, she really cried, she burst into tears: "I have ideals, I have ambitions, and I also vowed to be a good official, serve the country, and benefit the people, Coco."
"It's me who's obsessed with it, it's me who's obsessed with it."
At the end of the sentence, he covered his face and cried bitterly.
"This crime is unpardonable."
"Yes, yes, the villain is willing to die without any complaints."
When facing Xiao Yuan, Tan Shimin's kneeling posture was no longer the same as before, but the one with his head firmly touching the ground.
At this point, the verdict can be pronounced, and Peng Shuang couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan didn't think too much and said concisely: "There is no need for the Tingwei to review and approve the instructions. These two people will be beheaded directly. The remaining accomplices will be sent to the ghost clan."
"No." Peng Shuang responded subconsciously, and then pronounced the verdict loudly.
After all, Tan Shimin is an official of the imperial court. After the judgment, it must be finally confirmed by the Tingwei Mansion. According to normal procedures, it is usually the post-Autumn Festival.
Xiao Yuan naturally skipped this process here, which was equivalent to a decisive decision.
As for being sent to the ghost tribe, although it is not a death sentence, it is not much different. Once you get there, you will have to mine day and night, and the climate is harsh, especially in winter. Without some warm clothes, it is easy to freeze to death.
Hearing this verdict, even Tingwei Mansion could directly skip it. Tan Shimin was shocked again, and he was more sure of his guess.
But he didn't dare to say it. After all, the other party didn't mention it himself, obviously because he didn't want to reveal his identity.
That's the emperor. If he gets angry, what will happen to the nine clans involved?
Wei Hang, on the other hand, was so frightened by this execution that he trembled all over and screamed repeatedly: "Sir, please spare my life! My Lord, please spare my life -"
"Take it down and behead him at noon tomorrow!"
"Song County Lieutenant led people to confiscate his property and put it into the treasury."
"promise!"
No one paid attention to Wei Hang. Two officers and soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, dragged him down like a dead dog. He was still shouting, and there was a trace of water stains on his lower body on the ground.
Tan Shimin was also taken away. Before leaving, he bowed to Xiao Yuan seriously: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for betraying the trust of the country."
Xiao Yuan waved his hand, stood up and left here.
The people kneeling below also began to kowtow in unison and shout: "The imperial envoy please pray for the people and wash away our grievances. This is the blue sky of Taikang -"
After being praised by the people, Peng Shuangqi felt embarrassed and said: "Okay, okay, we should eliminate corrupt officials. This is what I should do. Everyone, please get up."
More than a dozen cases were vindicated in one day and came to light in Taikang. The crowd watching outside also knelt down from the bottom of their hearts and shouted "Master Qingtian".
The crowd lingered for a long time, and when they left, they were still having a heated discussion.
"I used to think Tan Shimin was a good county boss, but he turned out to be such a corrupt official!"
"This kind of corrupt official is the most hateful!"
"Fortunately, there are laws of the Qin Dynasty to punish them. Wei Hang, the evil man, and Tan Shimin will be beheaded tomorrow."
The next day.
Tan Shimin and Wei Hang were wearing prison uniforms, with shackles around their necks and shackles at their feet. They were both wearing disheveled hair and were escorted by officers and soldiers to the execution ground.
At this time, Taikang County was filled with people watching the excitement. When the two appeared, there was no doubt that everyone was scolded and criticized.
The closer he got to his destination, the softer Wei Hang's feet became, and by the end he was so frightened that he couldn't move any further.
As a result, the officers and soldiers scabbarded their swords fiercely: "Be honest! Leave quickly!"
