This day is destined to be remembered by the people of Shi Nan Mansion for many years.
Although everyone came to join in the fun today, in fact, before the public trial started, many people were discussing quietly, saying that officials always protect each other, and today would definitely be no exception.
This so-called public trial is just a formality. Even if Li Tingfang is really found guilty in public, they will find ways to reduce his crime later. When time goes by and people forget about this matter, Li Tingfang will be released. , or even transferred to serve as an official elsewhere.
But when the public trial began, people were surprised to find that their previous guesses and judgments were all wrong.
This group of red-clothed envoys actually means it!
After reading out Li Tingfang's criminal record, Qin Qiaoer sentenced Li Tingfang to death on the spot.
Many people were surprised when they heard the verdict, and saw Qin Shaoyou stand up directly, pull out the demon-slaying knife, and chop off Li Tingfang's head like a chicken in front of the gate of the magistrate's office in front of the onlookers.
Really behead a man!
This sudden scene was beyond everyone's expectations, and the streets that were noisy and noisy just a moment ago suddenly became much quieter.
There were only some people lined up in the distance, whose sight was obscured by the crowd and could not see what was going on. They were still asking curiously: "What's wrong, what's wrong, what happened? Why did you suddenly stop saying anything?"
News came back from the front soon: "He has been beheaded! Li Tingfang was sentenced to death, and the red-clothed messenger drew his sword and chopped off his head!"
"What? Thief Li was beheaded?"
"Is it true? The fourth-grade prefect was killed like this?"
This news immediately made the people of Shi Nan Mansion completely excited. People crowded forward one after another, wanting to see with their own eyes whether Li Tingfang was really killed.
They had seen beheadings before, but they were all done by mountain bandits. Like today, they beheaded a fourth-grade prefect in public. Not to mention that they had never seen it, they did not even dare to think about it. .
Fortunately, the commotion was quickly discovered by Qin Shaoyou. He hurriedly released his blood energy to stop the crowd from crowding, and used his [Skillful Tongue] to appease everyone and keep everyone in order, thus avoiding the tragedy of squeezing and stampeding.
However, Li Tingfang's death also made the people realize that the red messenger was different from the legend.
They can really make decisions for the people! He really dares to punish corrupt officials!
So the excited people began to sue the officials who had bullied them in the past.
There are also some people from the counties below and the counties next door who want to invite the red-clothed envoys to their hometowns to bring the corrupt and bad officials there to justice.
Qin Shaoyou and the others had to rush to the capital, so it was naturally impossible for them to stay in Chuzhou and continue to solve the case.
For such a situation, Qin Shaoyou was well prepared and immediately pushed out Li Zhenggang, the counselor of Chuzhou Chief Secretary, and Zhuo Wende, deputy Qianhu of Chuzhou Demon Division, and asked the people to report to them.
Li Zhenggang is responsible for cases involving official corruption and oppression of the people; cases related to demons and ghosts are handled by Zhuo Wende.
Li Zhenggang, Zhuo Wende and others were startled by the excited people and realized that it was fortunate that Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer insisted on a public trial and execution. Otherwise, the people's resentment was overwhelming and could not be vented, which would easily lead to catastrophe.
But now, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer pushed them out and made them realize that this was a great opportunity to gain popularity!
If handled properly, they can win a lot of popularity. When the time comes, it is possible to make further progress in both cultivation and official position.
After thinking about this, Li Zhenggang, Zhuo Wende and others quickly became serious and expressed their opinions one after another, vowing to make decisions for the people. Once it is found that the reported officials have indeed violated laws and disciplines, they will be dealt with immediately and will never be tolerated!
Their statement attracted unanimous applause from the people, and also made Li Zhenggang, Zhuo Wende and others secretly excited.
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer did not join in the fun, but watched the scene with cold eyes, and quietly left two red-clothed envoys to supervise secretly.
"Once you discover that they have engaged in malpractice for personal gain during the investigation and evidence collection process, you will immediately report it to us and the censor here in Chuzhou."
Qin Qiaoer ordered in a low voice.
"My subordinate understands."
The two red-clothed envoys accepted the order and immediately sneaked into the crowd.
Li Zhenggang and Zhuo Wende were busy listening to the people's reports and did not notice this scene.
"Li Tingfang has been executed. The subsequent matters will be left to the officials here in Chuzhou. It's time for us to continue on our way."
Qin Shaoyou has experience. If he doesn't leave now, it will not be easy for the people to leave again when they come to their senses.
Qin Qiaoer nodded in agreement, and the two men immediately returned to the Demon Suppression Division with their men. After leaving a letter explaining the situation, they took the captured Gu witches with them, and with the help of the Mimicry Order, they quietly left the Demon Suppression Division. Left Shi Nan Fucheng.
The reason for bringing the witch is simple.
Qin Shaoyou wanted them to continue to use the magic of inviting gods to help recruit new dishes.
Having killed several wild gods before, Qin Shaoyou's mysterious recipe included two new dishes.
One of the dishes is called Jade White Jade Soup.
According to the introduction of the mysterious recipe, the taste of this dish is fresh and refreshing. After eating it, it can consolidate the cultivation level. It is especially suitable for people who have just broken through the realm.
For Qin Shaoyou, this dish is perfect.
So much so that after Qin Shaoyou served this new dish, he couldn't help but wonder whether the mysterious recipe had given him a backdoor, right?
It’s just that the preparation of jade white jade soup is a little complicated. You need to prepare the acne first.
This pox is made by putting the pox juice of the Pox Goddess into a pot and boiling it. While cooking, add witch salt and vinegar. When the pox juice solidifies, it becomes pieces of pox as white as jade.
With pox, the next step is much simpler. Just add it to the pot with green beans, cabbage, spinach, and smoked Lili ham for seasoning, and it becomes jade white jade soup.
However, Qin Shaoyou didn't have smoked Lili ham at the moment, and he didn't have time to cook pox, so this dish was not cooked.
The name of another dish is a little weird, it's called Fahai Braised Suzhen.
Fortunately, it's not called Fa Hai, you don't understand love...
There are two main ingredients used in Fahai Braised Suzhen, one is the demon soul of the python god king, and the other is the soul of a toad demon king from behind.
After eating this dish, in addition to improving blood energy, it can also strengthen the eater's speed, reaction and strength, and greatly increase poison resistance.
Although it is not immune to all poisons, it can make the eater resistant to many toxins and reduce the damage caused by toxins.
After reading the introduction, Qin Shaoyou understood something.
The python god king is Suzhen, and the toad demon king is Fahai?
When did the mysterious recipe become so naughty?
In addition to the two main ingredients, Fahai Braised Suzhen also requires several special side dishes and ingredients.
Qin Shaoyou asked Zhu Xiucai and others to search all over Shi Nan's mansion, but they couldn't find all the side dishes and ingredients, so they had to give up for the time being and wait until they got to the capital.
The capital is rich in food, so it should be no problem to get all the ingredients for side dishes.
On the way to Beijing, I just happened to take these Gu witch card bugs to see if I could create more new dishes by inviting evil gods to take over.
In addition, cutting off Li Tingfang's head in public just now also made a new dish appear on the mysterious recipe.
However, after calling up the mysterious recipe and seeing the name of the new dish, Qin Shaoyou was stunned.
The name of this new dish is actually roasted sweet potatoes!
What the hell? If you kill someone, why do you still get roasted sweet potatoes?
Could it be that Li Tingfang is not a human being, but a sweet potato spirit?
But I’ve only heard of purple sweet potatoes turning into spirits. Can this sweet potato... also turn into spirits?
