Zhao Hu, along with Qin Hui, Zhang Yaoyang, and others, paraded around Lantian County.
Countless commoners, having heard the news, followed behind them, ready to see how this newly arrived marquis would deal with these beasts.
In no time, all the people of Lantian County followed Zhao Hu and his men to the entrance of the county government office.
The entire Lantian County was deserted as everyone flocked to the streets.
Despite being confronted by more than a dozen people, Yan Shifan gritted his teeth and continued to deny the allegations, saying that he had never set fire to the Yihong Courtyard.
It wasn't until he saw Zhao Hu dragging Qin Hui and Zhang Yaoyang over that he completely panicked.
He turned his head sharply and looked at Li Chang'an, who was smiling, and felt a chill run down his spine.
“Lord Anping, my father is the Grand Secretary of the court, a high-ranking official. If you kill me, the entire court will fight you to the death.”
Yan Shifan roared angrily, but his trembling body suggested he lacked confidence.
He now realized that the burning of the brothel and the collusion with the Liao people were all lies.
What this Marquis of Anping really wanted to do was find an excuse to wipe out the Yan family.
If they burn down the brothel, they can simply say it was their own men who did it.
But if the fact that the Tung Sing gang trafficked young boys and girls to use for longevity banquets were exposed...
The Yan family is now completely finished.
Even if Your Majesty is very patient, you cannot tolerate such a thing.
Li Chang'an ignored his clamor. The moment Zhao Hu arrived with his men, the Yan family had already lost.
Sister Pomegranate's kneeling and stepping was merely to attract people to gather around.
Zhao Hu's parade was merely to attract more people to the area.
As long as the people of Lantian County come, Li Chang'an will win.
The evidence is no longer important.
When did we start needing evidence to punish bad guys?
Hearing Yan Shifan's words, he laughed even harder.
If the entire Ming Dynasty were to oppose Yan Song and Yan Shifan because of them...
Then, does the Ming Dynasty still have any meaning in its existence?
"My lord, Zhang Yaoyang, the leader of the Dongxing Gang, has confessed that the Yan family instructed them to abduct and sell young boys and girls to make Fulu Banquet. They also secretly sold official positions and titles, committed all sorts of evil deeds, and harmed the people."
Zhao Hu knelt on the ground and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Yan Shifan quickly began to explain, "Gentlemen, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped across the mouth.
The burning pain left him somewhat dazed.
It's been so many years, ever since his father became the Grand Secretary.
He was never beaten again.
His eyes were bloodshot as he looked around, trying to see who dared to hit him.
As a result, they saw Wang Zhongxian standing to the side with a cold expression.
"king……"
"Smack!"
Wang Zhongxian slapped Yan Shifan across the mouth again, one slap after another.
He looked at the people in front of him, fearing that Yan Shifan might say something that would implicate His Majesty.
Things like, "For the sake of the Yan family, the imperial court and they are locked in a life-or-death struggle."
Does the imperial court have the right to fight to the death with someone?
joke?
Even if everyone in the world were combined, there's no way to fight them to the death.
Yan Shifan looked at Wang Zhongxian in horror, his face swollen like a pig's head from being slapped.
"Alright, alright, Brother Wang, if we keep hitting him, people will say we're forcing a confession."
Li Chang'an, holding the execution warrant, walked up to Yan Shifan and advised Wang Zhongxian, "You've been slapping me again and again; it must hurt so much."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shifan opened his mouth as if to say something.
"My family is the royal family..."
"Smack!"
Li Chang'an, holding the token, slapped Yan Shifan hard across the face: "You should learn from me, use the token to hit him, won't your hand hurt then!"
After saying that, he took the token and slapped Yan Shifan's face repeatedly: "Seeing how much fun you're having slapping him, Brother Wang, I'm getting a little itchy to do it too."
Li Chang'an continued whipping Yan Shifan until he was rolling on the ground, unable to utter a word. Only then did he rub his wrists, as he had hit him too hard and his hands were sore.
All the people were dumbfounded as they watched Li Chang'an beat Yan Shifan so badly that he was rolling on the ground.
Is this still the arrogant and domineering Yan family? Is this still Young Master Yan?
"Good! Well done!"
When Manager Tong first met Li Chang'an, she thought he was handsome, dashing, and a man of exceptional talent.
When she saw him brutally beating Yan Shifan, she thought that this Marquis of Anping was the most handsome man in the world.
The other people were also awakened by the cheers.
One after another, people clapped, and some even shouted for him to do it again.
"Thank you for your support, fellow villagers!"
Li Chang'an cupped his hands in greeting to those around him and said, "Zhao Hu, tie these wicked beasts up with pillars and have someone burn a vat of lard."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu ordered his men to begin their operation.
The people below the stage exchanged glances, wondering what the marquis was up to.
Before long, Qin Hui, Yan Shifan, and the others were tied to the pillars.
A large vat of lard was bubbling and burning.
Chen Da and his men set up a table in front of each prisoner, on which were placed the torture instruments awarded by the system.
"Now, let's begin the trial. All of you have suffered injustices. What crimes have these people committed? Please bring your grievances to me. I will certainly handle them impartially."
Li Chang'an looked at the people below the stage and spoke, then instructed Zhao Hu to place the silver seized from the Dongxing Gang behind him.
Sister Pomegranate held up the blood-written letter and said, "In the case of the Yihong Courtyard, one hundred and twenty people perished in the fire. Please investigate thoroughly, Your Excellency."
