"Okay! However, if I'm doing something wrong, Brother Wang Yuanzhi will remind you in time!" Feng Yao laughed.

"My lord, don't worry, Yuan Zhiding will do his best!" Xu Shuyi said.

Feng Yao thought for a while, the revenge was over, and it was time for the people of Pingyu to feel the favor from the prefect, so he called Xu Chu who was standing aside and said, "Take a few people to the gate of the mansion and bring a hundred people into the palace. Come to the courtyard, ask for fifty men and fifty women, try to find some people who don't know each other, and say that the prefect is going to have a public trial of prisoners today! Anyone who comes will get a hundred rewards!"

Xu Chu was very surprised, but he was in court at this time, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he nodded and left as ordered.

Feng Yao looked at Yang Wu, the commander of his entourage, and asked: "How many light criminals, how many serious criminals, how many death row prisoners, how many county officials are in prison?"

After Yang Wulue thought about it, he lowered his head and whispered, "There are 260 light criminals, 85 serious offenders, 22 death row prisoners, and 56 county officials!"

"Okay, I see, you lead people to the prison immediately, and take out all the prisoners in order! Light criminals take out 20 people at a time, felons and death row prisoners take out ten people at a time, and county officials take out 20 people at a time. I ordered Hou to be in the side room, and every time I take a picture of a few cases, you will charge one criminal to court, do you understand?" Feng Yao said.

Yang Wu nodded, cupped his hands and said: "This subordinate understands!"

Although Feng Yao's voice was low, the military advisor Xu Shu, the guard Dai Ling, the prefect Shi Tao, the lord Bo Mengjian, and several of Feng Yao's cronies and assistants were all very close to Feng Yao, and they could hear Feng Yao's words clearly. , I was very novel about Feng Yao's way of doing things. Although I could guess a general idea, I didn't know what Feng Yao wanted to do. They all looked at Feng Yao in surprise, but they didn't dare to ask.

This is the court, it would be disrespectful to question the prefect Feng Yao in public, unless Feng Yao took the initiative to explain, otherwise even if he is as close as Dai Ling, he would not dare to do anything that would damage the prestige of the lord!
At this time, Feng Yao already had a very bold idea in his heart. If he acted according to this, all the cases could be closed within half a day.

If Feng Yao went to interrogation one by one slowly, he might not be able to finish the interrogation in a month!

It's troubled times!It is unavoidable to cut the mess quickly, and use heavy codes in troubled times. For these prisoners, they should be killed as soon as they should be killed, and released as soon as they should be released. As the prefect of Runan County, Feng Yao has soldiers and power in his hands. The power of life and death for the common people! !
Don't say he is guilty, then he is not guilty. Feng Yao can kill him if he wants to, so there is no need to worry too much!

So Feng Yao is going to kill today!Kill all the evil, kill all the people who don't like it! !

When the servants brought out all the case files and bamboo slips, they piled up into a hill beside Feng Yao. Feng Yao felt a headache when he saw it, so he could only comfort himself: "When Pingyu is stabilized and the county officials are complete, Don't bother with it anymore!"

In order to speed up, Feng Yao ordered all civil servants and military officers to check the case files. After hundreds of files were divided, each person had only a few dozen files on average.

Not long after, Xu Chu led a hundred men and women into the mansion according to Feng Yao's request. There were rewards and excitement, which immediately attracted hundreds of people. The lively common people still followed closely behind, and there were more than 100 people who followed, and the entire front yard was full of people.

Xu Chu had no choice but to increase the number of troops guarding the gate, forcibly prohibiting anyone from entering the mansion, and sent another hundred soldiers to guard the hall of the county mansion.

Even the fifty men and fifty women were only allowed to stand at the entrance of the lobby to watch, and were not allowed to enter the lobby to interfere with the eunuch's decision.

After Yang Wu prepared the prisoners, he came to report, and Feng Yao immediately ordered the three light criminals to be taken first.

After the names of the three minor criminals were notified, the subordinates immediately presented the relevant case files in front of Feng Yao. One of them was a thief who stole a bag of food from someone because his family was poor, and the other was injured because of an argument. A criminal who molested a woman from a good family.

After Feng Yao confirmed the truth to the three people, the crime of the thief was pardoned in court, and those who injured others were fined to serve a month of corvee, and those who molested women from good families were not punished either with imprisonment or money, and were punished directly. Ten boards, let the guards drag them to the courtyard to play ten boards in public, and then release them.

The cases of the three minor criminals were resolved in just a few words, and the people outside the mansion nodded their heads, and some even cheered in small voices, especially the criminal who beat the woman from a good family. Spit a lot.

In just over half an hour, all 260 light criminals were dealt with. The treatment method was similar to the previous three. Feng Yao only closed the cases according to his heart and the attitude of the people. Some were wronged or Feng Yao thought he was doing the right thing. For minor offenders, they were released in court and additional money was given to them to go home to live a better life. Some were given lighter punishments, while others were given heavier punishments. Feng Yao had the final say on how to increase the punishment.

Among them, there was a case where someone died due to human trafficking, but it was only a minor criminal, which surprised Feng Yao.

It is recorded in the case file that because the Zhang family was poor, they sold their 15-year-old daughter to the Li family as a maidservant. The Li family should pay ten strings of money to the Zhang family. However, the Li family shirked and said that they would get the money after taking the person back to the house first, but the Li family began to refuse to accept the account afterward, and the second son of the Li family even forcibly took the daughter of the Zhang family into the house to enjoy.

When such things happened, although the daughter of the Zhang family was not happy, she endured it and wanted the Li family to pay her parents the money for selling herself earlier. Who would have thought that after the Li family knew about it, they used the daughter of the Zhang family as an intention to embezzle the Li family's wealth, and sent The daughter of the Zhang family was sent back to the Zhang family.

Not only did the Zhang family not get a penny, but they let their daughter lose their body for nothing, so they went to the Li family to make trouble. The Li family was annoyed, not only did not take responsibility for it, but also injured the members of the Zhang family. Zhang's father couldn't be more angry. He hanged himself at home.

After the death, the Li family panicked and wanted to settle the matter with money, but the daughter of the Zhang family, Mrs. Zhang, insisted on suing the officials, but the Li family could not deny it, so they reasoned that it was the relationship between the servants in the mansion and Mrs. Zhang. He also used money to deal with the officials of the county and county, and the county arrested the slave who committed the crime.

Although there was a death in this case, it was not directly killed by the Li family. According to the contract documents, the Li family did not have to pay, and even put the matter of Zhang's loss of innocence on the servants. At most, the Li family was a lax discipline Fame, the government has nothing to do with the Li family.

The slave who committed the crime was not guilty and would not die. It was just a small crime. After a year of imprisonment, he would be released after being pardoned.

After Feng Yao saw the case, he was furious immediately, ordered the guarantor to come, and immediately ordered Zhou Cang to lead his troops to the Li family, and took control of the entire Li family. Son and others.

Asked Xu Shu again, Xu Shu said: "If such wicked people were back then, I would have killed them secretly with my sword. If I did it clearly, I would have a lot of scruples, and there is nothing I can do!"

Feng Yao didn't believe that in his own territory, such a trivial matter could not give justice to the people, so what's the use of being the prefect?So he asked Xu Shu again: "Yuanzhi, you don't have to worry about it, just tell me, is there any way to make the Li family never turn over again! It can also be justified, let the people appreciate it, make the court happy, and make the scholars happy." People have nothing to say!"
