Su Ye knew very well that such unjust cases were not isolated cases, but the tip of the iceberg of corruption in the local government.
If this trend does not stop, the people of Yan State will live in dire straits.
Also angry was Yan Lichu.
Such an unjust, false and wrong case could be punished on the same day, and all this was hidden from her, the empress.
"These corrupt officials are getting more and more arrogant!"
Yan Lichu clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Su Ye looked at her and knew that she had made a decision in her heart.
He said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be taken lightly. The bully must be brought to justice and justice must be sought for Zhao Tiezhu and others."
Yan Lichu nodded: "Exactly, Dayan cannot allow such scum to corrupt Chao Gang."
After saying that, a sharp look flashed in her eyes and she said:
"Prime Minister Su, follow me to the local area to investigate this matter in person and bring the bully to justice!"
The next day, Su Ye and Yan Lichu secretly went to the government house where the incident occurred with a group of people.
To avoid attracting attention, they wore casual clothes and traveled discreetly.
The local people learned that Zhao Tiezhu was about to be executed and gathered to watch.
The words were filled with sympathy for the innocent people who died unjustly and condemnation of the notorious bully.
"Poor this family. Their daughter was tortured to death, their son was wrongfully accused to death, and the old mother who was left seriously injured and bedridden, how could she bear such a blow!"
"There are such bullies in the world, how can there be any royal law!"
"Wang Fa? The bully's protective umbrella is the government!"
"People in the government are all officials protecting each other and colluding with each other to harm the people."
Everyone present knew the truth of the matter.
But even so, it could not prevent Zhao Tiezhu from being escorted to the execution ground by officials.
The government officials insisted on carrying out the execution in public, in order to scare the monkeys and warn the people who dared to resist.
When Yan Lichu and Su Ye arrived, the execution team had already set off. They quickly followed and secretly protected Zhao Tiezhu.
The atmosphere at the execution ground was heavy.
Zhao Tiezhu was wearing shackles, his face was firm, and his eyes were full of fearlessness and anger.
Everyone, including himself, knew he was wronged, but could not change the trajectory of his fate.
Yan Lichu and Su Ye watched silently, waiting for the opportunity.
The executioner kicked Zhao Tiezhu's knees so hard that the pain forced Zhao Tiezhu to kneel to the ground.
Despite this, Zhao Tiezhu still held his head high and refused to bow his head.
Li Hao, who was following Yan Lichu and Su Ye, felt heartbroken when he looked at his friend who had been with him through life and death.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms, and the pain could not calm him down.
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded:
"stop!"
Everyone looked around and saw Yan Lichu walking out of the crowd, staring at the executioner with burning eyes.
Su Ye followed closely behind, looking equally serious.
When the government officials saw that someone was so bold as to hijack the execution ground, they immediately shouted:
"Who dares to be so arrogant here!"
But he saw Yan Lichu standing proudly, not afraid of his threat at all.
From her extraordinary posture and demeanor, it can be seen that she is anything but simple.
And behind Yan Lichu, Su Ye was dressed in white clothes, elegant and elegant, like a fairy.
His eyes were cold and stern, revealing an inviolable majesty.
The government officials were surprised and confused. They didn't know who these two people were, so they couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
When Zhao Tiezhu saw this, for some reason, he keenly felt that these two people might be his saviors.
He immediately kowtowed in the direction of the two of them and begged:
"Please help me, two heroes, and seek justice for me!"
Yan Lichu's eyes were like a torch, he scanned the whole place and said solemnly:
"Bring over the evil bully!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became an uproar.
The government officials were panicked, knowing that today's affairs might not go smoothly.
But still holding on to a sense of luck, he tried to argue:
"My noble man, things are not as you see. We are also acting in accordance with the law."
Yan Lichu's eyes were as bright as fire and he sneered:
"Rule of law? You are so disrespectful of human life and corrupting the rule of law. You have really tainted these two words!"
Just when the government officials were surprised and uncertain, the bully, arrogant and domineering, pushed through the crowd and walked to the execution ground.
"It's just two guys who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, but they dare to interfere with my work."
The bully's face was full of anger, and his eyes revealed his contempt for Yan Lichu and Su Ye.
Yan Lichu's eyes were as bright as fire and he sneered:
"How dare a scum like you show off your power here!"
The bully looked Yan Lichu up and down, and when he saw her butterfly-shaped head and Emei eyebrows, she was so beautiful, he suddenly had an evil thought in his heart.
He smiled lewdly and said:
"This beauty, if you come with me, I might consider letting these people go."
As soon as these treacherous words came out, the guards hidden in the crowd drew their swords one after another.
Yan Lichu, on the other hand, had a sneer on his face.
She clapped her palms gently, and immediately, the guards walked out of the crowd and surrounded the bully.
"You...who are you?"
The bully asked tremblingly, feeling unprecedented fear.
A cold light flashed in Yan Lichu's eyes, and he said coldly:
"I am the Emperor of Great Yan, how dare you treat human life so lightly and treat the life and death of the people as child's play!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
The bully turned pale and trembled with fear.
He knew that he might be doomed today.
The official steward was stunned, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said repeatedly:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We didn't know you were here, so we offended you."
Yan Lichu looked at the government officials and bullies with blazing eyes, and said coldly:
"Do you know your guilt?"
The government officials were so frightened that they kowtowed and said:
"Know the guilt, know the guilt!"
But the bully still looked fierce and angry. Although he was sweating profusely, he knew that confessing would only cost him his life.
He knelt down and argued:
"I wonder if your majesty has listened to any slanderous rumors. I have never done anything harmful to nature or justice."
When the people around heard this, they angrily accused the bully:
"You still have the nerve to say that it was you who caused Zhao Tiezhu's family to be destroyed!"
"You have done all the bad things and yet you dare to make excuses here!"
"Your Majesty, please do something for the people and kill this bully!"
Su Ye looked calm and calm, and made a gesture neatly.
Mo Yi immediately stepped forward and presented the evidence he collected at the bully's home one by one.
The evidence is conclusive, and the bully cannot deny it. He can only be dumbfounded and speechless.
Yan Lichu was furious, looked around and said coldly:
"The evidence is conclusive. The warriors who defended the country fought bravely on the front lines, but their relatives were oppressed at the rear. How can such evil deeds have the face of bullies in this world! Arrest him and bring him to justice, and he will be publicly sentenced to death at a later date! "
Su Ye stared closely at the government steward who wanted to sneak away, and said coldly:
"Those who collude with bullies will be punished together and punished severely, and they will not be spared lightly!"
The government officials knew that their fate was sealed and they could not escape, so they had no choice but to surrender.
Yan Lichu and Su Ye unswervingly defended justice on the court.
Their heroic behavior aroused the excitement of the people, who cheered and applauded.
