Chapter 545 On-Site Trial

Rong An nodded slightly, "Today the Prefect of Labor Shi came here in the snow to ask for something."

"Don't dare to dare," Shi Sanxing said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, just give orders."

"The Marquis was ordered to return to Beijing," Rong An said slowly, "passing through here, encountered a heavy snowstorm, and the army was blocked.

"It was also found that the nearby villages were severely affected by the disaster, many houses collapsed, and some people were buried under the broken walls of the dilapidated houses.

"How can this Marquis sit idly by? So I sent someone to rescue him."

Shi Sansheng looked around and saw the temporary tents and the soldiers and civilians who were still clearing the snow in the wind and snow. He was grateful in his heart, "It is really a blessing for the local people to meet Lord Hou!"

Seeing that his conscience was still intact, Rong An's attitude became much gentler.

"During the disaster relief process, the Marquis received a lot of pleadings," said Rong Jin with a wave of his hand, and immediately brought over the pleadings written by the military Chinese officials for the common people, which was a full foot thick, "I also ask the prefect Shi to have a look. "

Shi Sanxing's fingers trembled slightly, and he took it with both hands, "This... this..."

"This is only part of it," Rong An said lightly, "There are still many things that have not been finished.

"The Marquis cannot exceed his authority to intervene, so these complaints can only be handed over to the prefect Shi for disposal. However, after seeing the disaster in the local area, the Marquis sent someone to notify the county magistrate Wanning.

"Magistrate Wan's conscience is still there, and he personally brought people over to check.

"I deeply felt that what I did in the past was not acceptable by the law, so I counted my belongings to help the victims.

"And I also wrote down all the evil things I have done in the past.

"This Marquis thinks that even though they show a little repentance, it's probably not from the bottom of their hearts.

"And it can't make up for the harm done to the people of this county in the past.

"Of course, when it comes to familiarity with the law and how to handle cases, the Marquis is of course a layman, so I ask the prefect to act according to the law."

Shi Sansheng hurriedly said: "Master Hou please be at ease, the next official will deal with it fairly!"

"That would be the best," Rong An smiled and nodded, "Is the prefect Shi going back to the government office, or is he here?

"If you go back, I will send someone to escort you; if you are here, I can also lend you some people."

Shi Sansheng didn't even think about it, and hurriedly said, "It's right here! It's convenient to summon the victim and witnesses."

Rong An ordered Rong Jin to bring Wanning, Xia Qian and others over.

He also built a tent for Shi Sansheng according to the specifications of the commander's account, and ordered people to light torches.

Not long after, Wanning waited for his arrival. He saw that his clothes were neat and his face was not hurt, but he was listless, with fear in his eyes.

As soon as he saw Shi Sansheng, he knelt down and shouted, "Your official is guilty! I confess to everything!"

Shi Sansheng was stunned for a moment, but the trial of the case cannot be concluded after all the criminals have confessed. It still needs to go through the process, ask the plaintiff's claims, check the testimony of the witnesses and whether all kinds of evidence are accurate and credible.

Then he shouted: "Shut up! Kneel down!"

In fact, it stands to reason that people with fame have the privilege of not kneeling when they see officials.

But in front of Champion Hou's subordinates, he did not dare to give Wanning and other privileges. Wanning and the others also realized that they didn't mention this at all, and obediently knelt aside, even though there was hard ice and snow under their knees, and the icy ground .

According to the order of the complaint, the relevant people were also brought here, but they all received preferential treatment, and each got a bowl of hot ginger soup.

Shi Sansheng's attitude was also very gentle, and he asked someone to set up a seat for him.
