Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 518

Since Zou Youlian became the magistrate of Hong County, he used the relationship of magistrate Hong to sell men in corvée.After magistrate Hong returned home, he was succeeded by Magistrate Yan and Magistrate Zhu. During the tenure of these three magistrates, Zou Youlian trafficked a total of 780 adult males.

All the men are sold to the mine through the hands of Gao Tong.The price given by the mine is high, and each male can be sold for up to ten taels of silver, which is more than 800 taels.

After Gao Tong took away 3000%, Zou Youlian could still get [-] taels of silver.

The county magistrate Xu presented the evidence of the crime one by one, and asked Master Yu to read it out in class.But Zou Youlian kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.His sons and grandchildren are all dead, only his life is left, there is no need to confess for the promotion of others.

Ming Shaoqing didn't need Zou Youlian to speak, as early as in Fucheng, he had his subordinates torture the leaders of the Water Bandits Village.

The punishment in Dali Temple is similar to the punishment in the army, even more severe. The leaders in the water bandit village couldn't bear it, so they told all the things they had partnered with Zou Youlian to sell men in labor service over the years, and pressed their fingerprints His confession was placed on the magistrate Xu's desk.

"The evidence of the crime in this case is convincing. In order to show the majesty of the criminal law and the way of the world, we should be given a severe punishment!" The county magistrate Xu read a brief and concise document.

but……

"Zou Youlian still has a major case of colluding with water bandits. He needs to be taken to Dali Temple in the capital for trial, so he will not be executed in Tianfu County."

As soon as the county magistrate Xu finished speaking, the sufferers who came to listen began to cry: "My lord, this beast Zou Youlian has killed hundreds of people in our Tianfu County, so why don't you kill him immediately and feed him to the dogs?" , How can I be worthy of those who died!"

"My lord, my man died unjustly. It was originally agreed that when he comes back from his corvee service, a new house will be built at the beginning of the next spring. How could he never come back? I don’t dare to buy meat a few times throughout the year, and when my son grows up and earns money, the family builds a new house and moves out of the old house that has been ruined.”

"My lord, Zou Youlian is a beast that has harmed countless people. Look at the people present, every family has been killed by him. If you don't cut him down in Tianfu County, how can you be worthy of the souls who died?"

Zou Youlian and Gao Tong sold people to the mines, and the jobs in the mines were fatal. Ming Shaoqing asked several copper mines and iron mines where they sold people from the confessions of several leaders in the water bandit village. I sent people to these mines to ask, and the news I got was that the people had already died of exhaustion.

The suffering masters present all cried loudly when they thought of their own men, sons, and brothers being killed in this way.Some people were still holding on to the coffin, crying about all kinds of hardships to the empty coffin containing only one suit of clothes, which made the county magistrate Xu a headache from crying, and hurried over to comfort them.

Ming Shaoqing got up and said to the people present: "Zou Youlian's case has already been heard by Datian. Our Great Chu used a heavy code. No matter where the execution place is, he will definitely die. And execution in the capital is more consoling." Heroic spirits of the dead."

When the sufferers heard this, they all said: "What Ming Shaoqing said is that the capital is the place where the emperor lives. If my man/son/brother knows that the person who killed them was beheaded in the capital, he will be killed in the underground." Will be happy. This is because the emperor cares about them, but it is a happy event for Guangzong Yaozu."

The corners of Xu County Magistrate's mouth twitched. He talked for more than a quarter of an hour, and they didn't make a fuss until Ming Shaoqing said a few words, and they were immediately happy.Can you use words?

When Xu county magistrate was slandering, he heard an old woman whisper: "Ming Shaoqing is really handsome, with a whole body of style, much better looking than our county magistrate."

A middle-aged woman next to him answered, "That's natural. Our county magistrate comes from a farming family, and he has to pick manure and cultivate the land since he was a child; Ming Shaoqing is from a family, and he has been playing the piano, playing the flute and writing poems since he was a child." Those who do Fu, what they do is something that gods do, how can the magistrate compare with Ming Shaoqing?"

County Magistrate Xu: "..."

What crime did he do, to hear what these two people said!

County magistrate Xu turned his head and sat back under the mirror hanging high, continuing to read the punishment results of the other accomplices.

The old officials, village chiefs, and village chiefs of the various towns who participated in the case were all sentenced to death as long as they were still alive.The ones who died were simply confiscated.

Those old officials, old village chiefs, old village chiefs and their families were crying and begging for mercy, but they were dragged down by the county soldiers and government officials and put in prisons.

After dragging all the accomplices away, magistrate Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and talked about the compensation: "The Holy Majesty is sympathetic to you who have lost a man in your family, and your life is not easy, so he issued an oral order to compensate you for every 20 taels of silver."

Due to the severe drought in the Northwest, coupled with the military disasters in various places, the imperial court has provided a lot of money to relieve the disasters and relieve the military disasters. It was Shangguan Pavilion who asked for 20 taels of silver to give these suffering masters.

After hearing this, the suffering masters present immediately knelt down and shouted long live.

Because there were too many males being trafficked, there were nearly 800 people. When each household came to collect the money, they had to check their household registration and registration records. The county magistrate Xu and the others were busy until midnight before submitting the compensation. Let's take care of it.

On the way, I also persuaded the sufferers to go home first and come back to get the money tomorrow, but they refused, saying that it was too far to go to the county, and the county magistrate Xu and the others could only accept their orders and work.

After finishing the compensation work, I haven't slept for a few hours, and I will be busy beheading those accomplices at noon the next day.

Many accomplices were executed this time, and they were all well-known officials, village chiefs, and other figures. The effect of deterrence was much better than when Wan Lifang was killed. Self-dangerous, who has done something bad, woke up in the middle of the night.

After the case of selling corvee men was over, Ming Shaoqing asked Zou Jiang: "I heard that when this person sued Zou Youlian, he used his crimes of corruption, fraud in scientific examinations, and abuse of power..."

Before he could finish his sentence, County Magistrate Xu fell to his knees with a plop in fright... The only crime he handed over to the Fucheng Yamen was Zou Youlian's trafficking in good people, and the other things, because of perjury, County Magistrate Xu dared not go to any of them. Report, how did Ming Shaoqing know?

When it was over, County Magistrate Xu felt that he had buried his neck in the ground and was about to reincarnate.

Ming Shaoqing saw County Magistrate Xu frightened like this, and said with a smile: "Magistrate Xu, don't be nervous, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to see Zou Jiang."

"See, see Zou Jiang?" County magistrate Xu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat: "What are you doing seeing Zou Jiang? He is an old man in sixties, just a little smart. My lord is busy with business, so I don't need to see him."

If Zou Jiang met Ming Shaoqing alone and let Ming Shaoqing know that he had committed perjury, it would not only be Zou Jiang's death, but also Xu Chongfeng's.

Ming Shaoqing was silent, just looked at County Magistrate Xu with a smile, and finally said: "Tonight, I am going to see Zou Jiang, does County Magistrate Xu understand?" '

As a lower official than Ming Shaoqing, County Magistrate Xu dared not refuse to do so.After nightfall, he anxiously took Zou Jiang to see Ming Shaoqing.
