On the execution ground.
The lord of Jubei City and the second head of Langtou Village, Zhao Yan, were kneeling on the ground, trembling in jail.
Both of them had a look of fear on their faces, knowing that they might not be able to escape death this time.
Su Ye, dressed in white and covered with snow, stood proudly on the execution ground, with eyes like torches and a majestic expression.
Execution in public is killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
He looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about the life or death of the two of them.
Su Ye's eyes were like daggers, sweeping over the people on the execution ground, and his voice was cold:
"Do you know your guilt?"
The Lord of Jubei City and Zhao Yan hurriedly shook their heads and said in a trembling voice:
"Sir, spare your life, we realize our mistake!"
The corner of Su Ye's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of ridicule:
"Knew you were wrong? If you really knew you were wrong, you wouldn't commit such a crime."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the execution ground instantly dropped to freezing point.
"You colluded with gangs, accepted bribes, and harmed the people!"
"You led Langya Village to commit countless crimes, causing countless people to lose their lives."
"Today, you will all pay the price for the crimes you committed!"
Su Ye's eyes were blazing and he said firmly.
On the execution ground, the Lord of Jubei City looked pale, with regret and fear intertwined on his face.
He knew that the crime he committed was irreversible, but he still struggled desperately and said:
"Prime Minister Su, misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I am loyal to Dayan, and heaven and earth can learn from it!"
At this time, the atmosphere on the execution ground became increasingly tense.
It is already known to everyone that the lord of Jubei City colluded with the bandits.
At this moment, he dared to lick his face and beg for mercy.
The people were filled with indignation and shouted:
"fraud!"
"Execute him! Execute him!"
Su Ye looked at him coldly:
"The way of heaven is clear, good and evil will be rewarded. What you have done has already offended the public."
After speaking, the evidence that the city lord colluded with the bandits and acted in collusion was thrown in front of him.
Every piece of it is an ironclad fact that cannot be denied.
For a time, cheers, cries, and curses filled the entire Jubei City.
Su Ye looked indifferent, but he did not relent when facing the Lord of Jubei City's begging for mercy.
In his opinion, the crimes of these criminals have exceeded the bottom line.
Whether it is corruption, perverting the law, or disregarding human life, it is a trampling of justice.
Today's trial is to demonstrate justice and let these criminals get the punishment they deserve.
The city lord looked at the evidence in despair, and then at Su Ye in front of him, knowing that there was nothing he could do to save himself.
His body was shaking, the back of his clothes was soaked with sweat, and regret and fear made him unable to control himself.
The atmosphere on the execution ground dropped to freezing point, and everyone was waiting for Su Ye's next move.
When the city lord was about to die, he immediately became stern and felt sad:
"How dare you! I belong to Assistant Minister Chen Mu! If you kill me, he will definitely not let you go!"
Su Ye's expression was stern and unmoved:
"No matter whether you are powerful or poor, anyone who offends our people will not be forgiven!"
"Pull them down and execute them together!"
Su Ye gave an order.
The lord of Jubei City and the second head of Langtou Village, Zhao Yan, were forcibly pulled up, tied up, and prepared to be tortured.
After the words fell, the executioner brandished the ghost-headed knife and chopped off the head of Jubei City Lord He without hesitation.
On the execution ground, the people cheered and applauded Su Ye's fair law enforcement.
Su Ye looked indifferent, but in his heart he felt happy that he could eliminate harm to the people.
He knew that such a scene, although bloody, was a necessary means to safeguard justice.
Defeating Langtou Village this time will bring more than just peace to the people.
There are also the food and treasures that have been burned, killed and looted from Langtou Village for decades.
Pension vacancies were filled.
As for the food, Su Ye ordered Jin Yiwei to take it to Jubei City and distribute it to the people.
After all, these grains were looted from the hands of the people in the first place.
The people received the food and burst into tears of gratitude.
They all praised Su Ye for being fair and selfless and their savior.
Families that had been persecuted by gangs also began to regain their confidence in life on this day.
They believe that as long as Su Ye is around, their lives will be full of hope.
And above the court, Su Ye's reputation has begun to spread throughout the country.
His impartiality and selflessness are admired by countless people.
At the same time, his act of justice also made the moths hiding in the court begin to tremble.
In the Great Yan Court Hall, the news of Su Ye's victory over Langtou Village was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.
It aroused a lot of discussion among the ministers.
Assistant Minister Chen Mu gathered his staff in the palace, his face as gloomy as water.
His eyes flickered, and he was secretly thinking about countermeasures.
Over the years, Chen Mu has gained great power in the court, and together with the four major families, he has dominated the world with one hand.
He has already set his sights on the position of prime minister, and will only take it when the time is right.
However, Su Ye, a stupid young man, jumped out at this moment and blocked his way.
"Sir, Su Ye's performance in Jubei City has aroused great favor among the people. If we don't curb him, I'm afraid his reputation will get higher and higher."
"Yes, Su Ye is so arrogant and doesn't take you seriously. We should take more precautions."
A close minister stepped forward to offer advice.
Chen Mu glanced at him and sneered:
"Do you think I know? It's just that Su Ye is very popular with the people. If he suppresses him blindly, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the people. This matter needs long-term consideration."
When another minister saw this, he immediately understood and said:
"Sir, why not take this opportunity to keep Su Ye in Jubei City and keep him away from the capital?"
Chen Mu nodded, thinking this was a good idea.
He secretly thought that as long as Su Ye was transferred out of the capital, he would stay in the remote Rebei City.
If you think of ways to weaken Su Ye's power then, you can easily overthrow him.
A sinister light flashed in Chen Mu's eyes and he said:
"Pass my order and ask the officials below to prepare to impeach Su Ye immediately and have him transferred out of the imperial city."
The next day in the court hall.
Yan Lichu was overjoyed when he heard the report about Su Ye's annihilation of Langtou Village.
She stood up in person and praised:
"Prime Minister Su, fair and selfless, is a pillar of the country!"
Yan Lichu knew very well that Su Ye's performance in Jubeicheng this time not only successfully eliminated the banditry, but also won the hearts of the people.
This is of great significance to national stability.
However, Chen Mu and others began to operate secretly in an attempt to impeach Su Ye.
He lobbied all ministers and jointly submitted a letter to frame Su Ye.
Before Yan Lichu announced the award to Su Ye, Chen Mu stepped forward to petition:
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look!
"This Su Ye is arbitrary, disregarding the laws and regulations of the court, and executes the city lord without authorization, which seriously affects the image of the court."
"He opened the warehouse to release grain, but in fact he was just seeking pleasure and misappropriating the property obtained by suppressing bandits, which was detrimental to the national interest!"
Each and every one of them is very important.
The target is directly at Su Ye.
Above the court, many ministers agreed.
Although Yan Lichu had great trust in Su Ye, he had to think carefully in the face of the joint petition from the courtiers.
The atmosphere in the court hall became tense for a moment.
