"Princess? Are you Princess Jiahui?" Yang Qianshan looked at her in disbelief when he heard her call herself a princess.
This is the legendary Princess Jiahui, the lucky star of the people.
"Yes, it is this princess.
I advise you to confess and get the most lenient treatment.
If you resist further, the consequences will be serious.
You don't want your parents, wife and children to be affected, so they die with you.
I don't want your clansmen to be implicated by you, so I'll kill all nine of your clans!" Li Yun said the consequences lightly, which made Yang Qianshan feel cold and trembling in his heart. He pleaded with Shangguan Feiyun and Li Yun with trembling body.
"Your Majesty, Princess, I was wrong.
I am guilty, please forgive me, my Lord and Princess!" Yang Qianshan was so frightened that his voice was trembling.
"Since you are guilty, confess everything.
"Changjiang, bring Magistrate Yang to court. I will personally conduct the trial!" Shangguan Feiyun shouted angrily.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Changjiang said, and took Yang Qianshan into the court.
The constable and the housekeeper were so frightened that they were shaking violently and their teeth were chattering.
It's over, it's really over this time! They are princes and princesses, will they let them go?
Li Yun took Erbao, Sanbao and Xiaohua out of the county government office, came to the place where the refugees gathered, and said to them.
"My fellow villagers, Prince Jin is trying Magistrate Yang in the county government office. If you have any grievances to seek justice, or revenge to seek revenge, please go to the county government office to attend the trial." Li Yun told the refugees about Shangguan Feiyun's trial of Yang Qianshan, so that they could see what happened to the corrupt officials who had caused them to live on the streets.
"Is what Madam said true?
Is the prince really trying County Magistrate Yang?" A refugee asked Li Yun in disbelief.
"It's true. I won't lie to you, folks. You'll know when you go over and take a look.
Everyone, remember, no loud noises, no trouble, or you'll be at your own risk." Li Yun warned, fearing some people might lose control and hit Yang Qianshan.
It’s better to be a villain first and a gentleman later, say the ugly words first and suppress the temper of those people.
"Don't worry, ma'am, we won't cause any trouble," one of the refugees assured.
“Okay, I believe you.
If there's any disturbance, the constables will intervene, and then you'll be thrown into jail." Li Yun warned.
"Yes, ma'am," said the refugee.
Li Yun took Erbao, Sanbao and Xiaohua away to find a bun shop.
"Boss, I've made your buns. You can send them to the government office and distribute them to the refugees there." Li Yun found the bun shop and bought all the buns.
"Okay, ma'am, wait a moment, we'll deliver it to you." The bun shop owner said happily with a smile on his face when he heard that someone had bought his buns.
Li Yun gave twenty taels of silver before leaving with Erbao, Sanbao and Xiaohua.
She was not afraid that the boss would not send her buns. His shop was here, so where could she escape to?
When Li Yun and the others returned to the county government office, Shangguan Feiyun was already interrogating Yang Qianshan.
In front of the yamen, there were many refugees and common people who wanted to see the prince try a case.
Some people also want to get to know the prince and see if they can gain some benefits.
The owner of the bun shop brought buns with his family, asked the refugees to line up, and distributed buns or steamed buns to them one by one.
Li Yun took this opportunity to sneak into the county government office with Erbao, Sanbao and Xiaohua.
Shangguan Feiyun also reached the climax of the interrogation and finished it quickly.
Faced with the evidence, Yang Qianshan confessed everything he had done with a good attitude. He hoped that his confession would lead to lenient treatment and allow his family and clansmen to escape disaster.
Unfortunately, things went against one's wishes. What he did was so heinous that the public anger could not be appeased unless he was killed.
Shangguan Feiyun ordered Changjiang to take Yang Qianshan and his family to jail. All officials and their families who were in cahoots with him were also taken to jail, awaiting the emperor's decision.
Li Yun and Shangguan Feiyun took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the backyard, and she collected all the silver that Yang Qianshan had embezzled into the space, leaving only 10,000 taels to deal with the house search.
When night falls, wait until Erbao, Sanbao and Xiaohua fall asleep, and then let Changjiang protect their safety.
Shangguan Feiyun took Li Yun and used his lightness skills to fly to the residences of the officials who were imprisoned by Langcang. He collected the gold, silver and jewelry inside into the space, leaving only a little for the house search.
After searching the mansions of those officials and looking at the mountains of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the space, Li Yun followed Shangguan Feiyun back to the county government office with satisfaction and joy.
The refugees were no longer in front of the yamen, so Li Yun asked the constables to find a yard to accommodate the refugees. He also asked people to build a stove and cook porridge to distribute.
The detectives were all very obedient. They wanted to make amends for their mistakes and gain meritorious service while serving their sentences.
Unfortunately, they were all wrong. The reason why they were not imprisoned for the time being was simply because there was no manpower. They were allowed to have two days of happiness.
The next day, Li Yun took the blueprint to the courtyard where the refugees lived, found the refugees who knew how to build bricks, and explained the houses on the blueprint to them until they learned how to build them.
He also told them that after the emperor's decree came down to execute Yang Qianshan and others, they would be allowed to return to the village and build new houses.
Two days later, the new county magistrate arrived with the imperial edict.
The emperor sentenced Yang Qianshan to immediate execution, and his family members were also executed immediately. Members of less than three clans were beheaded in public, and the remaining six clans were sent to coal mines to do hard labor.
All officials involved were executed, and their nine clans were sent to gold, coal, and iron mines to do hard labor.
With so many new people added at once, there is no need to recruit black market workers anymore.
The new county magistrate brought his legal advisor and several attendants. The guards were recruited as constables and the constables involved were taken to jail to await execution.
The new county magistrate ordered the officials' residences to be raided and the seized silver, cloth, and grain to be given to the refugees.
Looking at the pitiful amount of silver, the new county magistrate frowned in disbelief.
What's going on? Aren't they considered corrupt officials? How can they be considered corrupt officials if they only have this little money?
This was the most unbelievable thing he had encountered since he became an official.
Li Yun looked at the new county magistrate's expression and felt happy. The county magistrate must be doubting his life.
When the refugees returned to the village, Li Yun asked the owner of the rice shop to send coarse rice and bricks and tiles so that the villagers could start building houses, hoping that half of the villagers could move into their new homes by the New Year.
After everything was done, they said goodbye to the new county magistrate, and Li Yun and Shangguan Feiyun took Changjiang, Erbao, Sanbao, and Xiaohua to continue their trip.
After playing for three days, I took everyone back to Beijing.
When I returned to the capital, there were still seven days before the Chinese New Year.
At this time, people including Dingbei Hou began to return one after another.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Li Yun returned to the princess's mansion and said happily when he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Did you have fun?" Qin Lanlan asked, holding Li Yun's hand.
"Grandma, you're having fun.
You don't even know, we encountered a bad county magistrate, a corrupt official. He didn't care about the lives of the people, leaving them homeless and starving to death on the streets. Those people were so pitiful! " Sanbao told his grandparents about what happened in Fuyong Town and Heshan County. They were filled with indignation and clenched their fists.
Heshan County Magistrate Yang Qianshan and his men knew that his home in the capital had also been ransacked by the emperor.
His father was also dismissed from office and sent to work as a laborer in a coal mine.
This major event spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital and became the talk of the town's people.
