Under the heavy blow, Wei Hang howled in pain, and then cried.
I cried so much that my nose and tears came out.
Before, he committed murder, arson, kidnapping young girls, and committed many evil deeds. He was so arrogant in front of the honest people.
Now, he is so scared.
The contrast between before and after is truly disgusting.
Not long after, the execution place arrived.
When being led to the guillotine, Wei Hang peed again. His hands were tied behind his back, like sieving chaff, and his whole body was trembling.
"Spare my life, spare my life." He was still crying and begging.
Tan Shimin, on the other hand, was much calmer. He stretched his head under the knife edge and closed his eyes tightly.
There were county officers and soldiers standing guard around the execution ground. There was a huge crowd at the scene, and the people were all shouting loudly:
"Kill the dog officer!"
"Bring him to justice——"
The supervising officer is still Peng Shuang, located directly above the main seat, with a case in front of him.
After a moment, he looked up at the sky, stood up, stretched out his hand and said neatly: "Behead!"
Following this order, the executioner raised his head and took a sip of strong wine, spraying it on the sword. Then he raised the sword high and swung it down suddenly!
Blood sprayed out, their heads were broken at neck level, and they fell to the ground.
Someone below covered their eyes in fear, someone screamed, and then there were cheers.
This can be said to be truly eliminating harm for the people, so how can the people not be happy!
A wave-like sound rendered the entire scene.
It wasn't until a while later that the officers and soldiers began to maintain order: "Okay, okay, don't gather here, everyone should disperse."
At the same time, on the official road twenty miles away from Taikang.
A dozen men, also wearing prison uniforms and shackles, were walking leisurely. Behind them were four officers and soldiers, all with sabers hanging on their waists.
These people were all accomplices in the Tan Shimin and Wei Hang cases, and were all assigned to the ghost clan for their evil deeds.
Among them were some of Wei Hang's friends, some of the county officials, and some of the evil domestic servants.
"Master Jun, please show your kindness. We haven't stopped all the way from morning to now. Can you take a break?"
The man who spoke was obviously used to a good life before, and walking the land in chains made him feel really uncomfortable.
But how could the officers and soldiers rely on him and really think it was a shantang?
"Stop talking nonsense! Leave quickly!"
Someone scolded: "If you can't reach Dujiagang at night, you will have to feed me wild beasts!"
"But Master, look at my feet, they are all worn out."
The man was crying and wanted to beg, but he was immediately hit with a scabbard on his back. The officers and soldiers behind him were cursing:
"Damn it! When you followed that thief Wei Hang to bully the people, robbed women, and committed evil everywhere, why didn't you think about today!"
"If you dare to talk nonsense to me again, I will skin you!"
The man stumbled forward after being hit by a scabbard and fell to the ground. Although the pain was terrible, he no longer dared to howl at this time and quickly got up and walked honestly.
After a while, an officer and soldier took off the water bag and took a sip: "Damn it, it's a long way, and we still have to watch these dogs."
"It's okay, let's hurry up. We can hand over when we get to Shuoyang, and the Wuwei Mansion there will be responsible for escorting us." Another officer and soldier took the water bag and said: "It's all public money, so why are you afraid? Anyway, there are still credits and travel expenses. "
"That's right. Should we divide the carriage fare or use it for drinking and drinking on the road?"
The four officers and soldiers discussed it. The prisoners looked at the water bag and couldn't help but lick their chapped lips, but no one dared to ask for it.
Along the way, they suffered some hardships, and when they arrived at the ghost tribe, they suffered even more.
Wang Lie is garrisoned there, and the State of Qin has taken over the development of several copper mines. Once assigned here, he will become a black miner. As for whether he can have enough to eat, it depends on the mood of the mine boss. In short, it is definitely not possible. It would be so easy for you to starve to death, but free labor is not.
These people all deserve what they deserve.
In the afternoon.
Xiao Yuan continued to check past official documents in the county office's study.
Not long after, Song Qi entered, clasped his fists and bent down and said, "Your Majesty, the properties of Tan Shimin and Wei Hang have been confiscated, and their mansions have also been sealed."
"Wei Hang's family wealth, excluding the rare calligraphy and paintings, totals 190,000 taels of silver and 3 million copper coins confiscated."
"It was found that Tan Shimin received a lot of stolen goods from bribes, including silver hidden in his home, totaling 120,000 taels and 70,000 copper coins."
"As planned above, all the stolen money and stolen goods have been transported back to the treasury and sealed in a book. Please take a look at it."
After speaking, he respectfully handed over an official document.
Xiao Yuan took it, opened it, scanned it, put it on the table and said, "I just checked Taikang's treasury documents. This place seems to be rich, but in fact the government doesn't have much savings at all. This money will be kept." Keep it in the treasury and use it for future county affairs."
Of course, this is equivalent to national public funds, and every transaction must be recorded in detail.
"No!" Song Qi accepted the order, paused, and bravely said: "In addition, Your Majesty, although Tan Shimin's case has been reported, the matter will definitely be spread to the county. If the county guard asks about it, how will I answer? "
This is for sure. After all, a county magistrate was suddenly beheaded. As the governor of Shangguan County, how could he turn a blind eye.
Xiao Yuan picked up a letter from the desk and handed it to him: "Just give this letter to the Sheriff of Xu County."
"Yes!" Song Qi took it respectfully and flattered him: "Your Majesty is wise, mighty, thoughtful and thoughtful, and I have great admiration for you."
"Okay, you did a good job in Taikang County. This time, I will give you credit." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Song Qi was overjoyed and bowed before leaving.
In fact, county captains can be promoted to county magistrates, but Song Qi was born as a warrior and had a low level of education. He was good at suppressing bandits, but not good at managing politics. The county magistrate was important, and Xiao Yuan had to be responsible for the local people.
Of course, rewards and punishments are clear. Song Qijing's matter will be smoother since he has been credited on the way to military attache promotion.
As for the Taikang County Magistrate, with his current political achievements and qualifications, he is not qualified for promotion.
The county magistrate still needs to be appointed, but this is not a big problem.
A few days later, after Xiao Yuan took care of the county government affairs, he called Peng Shuangxu Hu and the others and left here.
At the same time, Xujun, the county government.
The county magistrate walked in quickly, and when he saw the governor of Xu County, he said in a panic: "My lord, it's not good. I just got the news. I don't know what happened in Taikang County. The county magistrate Tan Shimin was beheaded in public! Could it be something? Are the people rebelling?"
When he said this, he himself didn't believe it: "But this is impossible. Now that the world is united and the world is at peace, there are no thieves or bandits under Xu Jun's rule."
"Okay." Sheriff Xu interrupted him: "You don't have to worry about this matter."
"Ah?" Jun Cheng was stunned: "Sir, what exactly is this?"
The county guard glanced at him and said, "This is beyond your control. Just go ahead and do your work."
