Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 168 Judgment
But it was dug out by Dong Cheng!
The uninformed officials, big and small, as well as many common people were even more stunned when they heard this.

More than three hundred thousand taels, if you pile them all up, it would be a real "silver mountain"...

The common people could not even imagine what it would look like if 30 taels were piled together.

I'm afraid I should be satisfied with just one glance in my life.

Fang Tang, Hua Chaoshi, Wan Qian and others were immediately horrified and fell completely on the ground. They had no strength to support them... They did not expect that this matter would be revealed!

They never thought that this matter would be exposed. They have done almost every step to the extreme. It is impossible for anyone to detect any clues...

However, the reality is cruel!

"No!"

Hua Chaoshi suddenly took a breath and shouted sternly, "Dong Cheng, you are talking nonsense, you are slandering us, you are so cruel, you will die if you want to punish me... Sir, Dong Cheng is talking nonsense, please be aware of the truth." , please give me my innocence, sir!"

When Wan Qian heard this, he forced himself to take a breath and shouted loudly.

Only Fangtang did not move at all, lying on the ground as if his soul had died.

"30 taels! It is extremely rare for me to find such a shocking case. Hum, I will find out everything on my own!" Yang Tingyu looked solemn and asked Dong Cheng: "Dong Cheng, did you know that false accusations turned against you?"

Dong Cheng also risked his life, took a step forward and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I know this."

"Then you have to think carefully. This officer will give you one last chance. If you say no, this officer can pretend that you have never heard of anything."

"Your Excellency, everything your subordinates say is true."

Yang Tingyu's eyes suddenly stood up, murderous intent spreading everywhere, "Okay, do you have any evidence?"

"I have my own evidence, sir. Please wait a moment!"

After Dong Cheng finished speaking, he personally took several of his subordinates to get the evidence.

Yang Tingyu ordered two Jinwu guards to follow him, hoping to prevent Dong Cheng from escaping.

Dong Cheng was clearly prepared, he brought a large package of materials, and when he returned, he saw Yang Tingyu was already sitting on a chair, and in front of the chair was a trial desk.

On the case trial table, there are official seals, documents, case files, signature slips, pen holders, Zhu inkstones, gavel wood, etc., all in order.

Obviously, Yang Tingyu is going to try the case on the streets.

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan were stunned for a moment, then walked over quickly.

"Sir, this is the evidence compiled by the subordinates. Your Excellency will know it at a glance!" Dong Cheng presented the pile of documents with both hands.

Yang Tingyu had no expression on his face, took it personally, unfolded it, and looked through it one by one.

While he was checking paperwork, the entire street was silent.

Now is a critical moment.

If Dong Cheng wins, then Fang Tang, Hua Chaoshi, Wan Qian and others will die without a place to bury them.

On the other hand, if Dong Cheng made a false accusation, then Dong Cheng would have to bear the crime of rebellion. He would also die without a burial place and would bring harm to his family.

However, the set of evidence provided by Dong Cheng is already irrefutable.

Because Dong Cheng himself is a man in the yamen, and he knows everything about prisons, and Dong Cheng has been secretly collecting enough evidence...

Therefore, the more Yang Tingyu looked down, the more frightened he became.

Two sparse and white eyebrows, completely squeezed together...

a long time.

Yang Tingyu read this evidence.Some more people were interrogated, including the tea horse censor who was kneeling in the street.

All evidence shows that Fangtang and others did embezzle more than [-] taels!
Yang Tingyu sternly questioned Fang Tang, Hua Chaoshi, Wan Qian, etc., but they were stubborn, either not speaking, or categorically denying it, insisting that it was Dong Cheng who set up a trap to trap them.

Yang Tingyu threatened to serve him with severe punishment.

As a result, Wan Qian was so frightened that he confessed directly...

According to Wan Qian's confession, Yang Tingyu sent Jinwu Guards to search the whole city and found three or four private houses, from which they found a large amount of stolen goods and stolen money...

The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and there are witnesses and material evidence, so Fangtang and Hua Chaoshi have to plead guilty.

The whole trial process lasted about an hour!
At this point, Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan, the palace steward, etc. realized that the mansion they had "traveled directly to Huanglong" was just one of their many private residences in Fangtang...

As for the food in the five major warehouses in Jiangzhou, as expected, it was taken away by Hua Chaoshi.

But in the end, this batch of grain returned to Dong Cheng and the others, that is, the batch of grain bought by the steward of the palace with the ill-gotten gains.

The ill-gotten wealth was the bribes accepted by Fang Tang, Hua Chaoshi, Wan Qian and others, as well as the embezzled tea tax.

As for the official grain in the official warehouse, in fact, most of it returned to Dong Cheng's hands in the end, that is, the [-] shi of grain found in the mansion, that is official grain!
In addition, all the crimes committed by the three of them over the years were discovered, including cheating on exams.

shocking!

……

"It's really shocking, more than [-] taels of silver!" After the trial of the case, Yang Tingyu still shook his head in shock.

boom!
After Yang Tingyu sat firmly at the trial table, he held the gavel and slapped it suddenly.

The sudden loud noise almost scared Fang Tang and others out of their wits.

"Fangtang, Hua Chaoshi, Wan Qian, the Tea Horse Censor, and a group of accomplices, etc., you have committed excessive corruption... I sentence you to be executed immediately. You don't have to wait for the operation in the autumn, and you will be executed immediately!"

"You wait for your wife, children, and family members to sit together. Men over the age of twelve will be executed and executed together. Boys under the age of twelve will be confiscated and made slaves. They will be slaves for generations and will never be able to escape. Women, regardless of their size, will be brought to the Lihua Palace in the capital. !”

Yang Tingyu's face was expressionless.

After finishing speaking, he took out a sign from the bamboo tube and threw it in front of Fangtang...

As soon as the verdict came out, Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I felt happy again.

And the people who were watching cheered enthusiastically, as if it was a festival, and they were full of joy!
Fangtang, Hua Chaoshi, Wan Qian, Tea Horse Yushi, etc. naturally looked ashen.

Among the people kneeling in the street, most of their wives, children and family members also passed out.

Males over 12 years old will be executed immediately.

Therefore, people like Hua Jianhu, the son of Hua Chaoshi, will also be beheaded.

Boys under the age of 12 were condemned to slavery and would never be able to stand up again.

Even if their children will be slaves in the future, and their children and grandchildren will be slaves, it is difficult to escape this fate unless the dynasty changes.

As for the female relatives, although the older ones were not sentenced to death, they might as well die.

The Lihua Palace in the capital is a place similar to "Yeting Palace" and "Jiaofangsi".

The older ones will serve as servants and be driven around.

Those who are young and have good looks will be trained as official actors for the entertainment of dignitaries.
