Within two days, Fang Zhengyi quickly arranged some follow-up matters.
And in the past two days, the news that the prefect Liu Xun would be executed was announced to the people of the whole city.
At this moment, most of the people in the city gathered outside the city.
On the city gate tower, Liu Xun and his colleague were pinned to the battlements with disheveled hair and shackles.
Fang Zhengyi wanted to let Xie Xian experience the feeling of being an official, but Xie Xian politely declined.
I am already satisfied to be able to wear the official uniform once.
After all, life in Taoyuan County is much easier and more enjoyable than being an official.
In order to avoid being recognized, Fang Zhengyi deliberately made his face a little dirty and changed into a pair of pants full of patches.
At this time, he was holding the imperial sword in his hand, with one foot on the parapet, looking down.
In the distance, Nie Zheng was observing the situation here with a serious face.
He didn't expect Fang Zheng to make such a big deal out of it and call almost everyone in the city over!
It is very easy for accidents to happen with so many people gathered together now. He was afraid of problems, so he brought a large number of officers and soldiers to defend again.
The officer next to Fang Zheng screamed madly: "You can't kill me! You can't kill me!!"
"Fang Zhengyi! You can't kill me without a judicial trial!!"
Fang Zheng drew out his sword, then took out a piece of cloth from his bosom and wiped the blade.
I haven't killed anyone in many years, so I felt a little nervous.
The last time he experimented with penicillin in the dungeon didn't count. He had always treated it as a medical accident and had no psychological burden at all.
Moreover, those death row prisoners are not simply beheaded to death, but suffer all kinds of torture before death.
It was a relief to die in his hands, and it was a win.
The first murder took place in Hengjiang Prefecture, where a local official beat to death several young beggars under his command for no reason.
He was so furious that he drew his sword and killed the man without caring about the consequences.
From then on, this kind of thing was left to Zhang Biao and he never did it himself.
Hearing the Tongzhi's shouting, Fang Zhengyi said solemnly: "Don't shout anymore. I have the imperial sword in my hand. Why would I need a trial to kill you?"
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh uh!" Liu Xun also started screaming desperately when he heard Fang Zheng talking.
I roared madly in my heart, the sword is fake! The sword is fake!
Fang Zhengyi ignored the two and continued, "The disaster situation is serious now. I don't have time to waste. I will kill you two today to make it known to the world. First, to deter other officials, and second, to stabilize the local people's hearts."
After saying that, he looked towards the city.
At this time, there was a huge crowd of people under the city, and countless faces were looking up at the top of the city with anticipation.
Beheading a prefect in public is something that is rarely seen in a lifetime. No matter whether he is a good person or a bad person, no one has ever heard of it.
Who wouldn’t want to join in the fun like this!
Fang Zheng lifted the hem of his official uniform and tucked it into his waist, revealing his trousers covered in patches.
Liu Xun turned his head to look, and his eyes suddenly widened.
This damn Fang Zhengyi! He wears the same pants as me! Even the fucking patches are sewn in the same place!
Fang Zhengyi shouted, "My fellow elders and sisters! I am Fang Zhengyi, the magistrate of Jianjiang! I am here to help with the disaster under the order of the Emperor!"
"These two are the prefect and the co-prefect of Jianjiang! Do you know what crime they have committed?"
"The grain price in Jianjiang remains high! The victims outside the city are complaining bitterly as they drink the thin porridge that tastes like water! The fields are filled with bones and the people are full of resentment. It's all caused by these two thieves!"
"Your Majesty is the greatest emperor in the history! Our emperor has a kind heart and is very compassionate to the people."
"So! We have specially ordered local granaries to open for disaster relief and stabilize prices! The people and officials far away in the capital are all working hard to raise food for the victims!"
"But these two actually took advantage of the grain stored in the granary, reselling it and exchanging moldy rice for new rice. The amount is staggering!"
"Tens of thousands of dan of grain were originally intended to supply the people of Jianjiang, but it only benefited the two of them!!"
"Now you are living in dire straits, with insufficient food and clothing, and you may even starve to death outside the city! But these two have beautiful wives and concubines at home, living in luxury!"
"Tell me, should he die?!"
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
“Kill him! Kill him!!”
The people below were very excited, and the sound was like the roar of a tsunami.
These people may not understand anything, but the high price of food makes everyone hate it!
They hate these corrupt officials who want to kill them to the core!
Liu Xun and the other magistrate dared not speak in the face of such overwhelming aura, and hung their heads with pale faces.
Staring blankly at the bricks of the city wall in front of me...
Then Fang Zheng gathered his emotions, looked up at the sky, and when he lowered his head, he was filled with sadness.
He said sadly to the people below: "My fellow elders and sisters, I am... late!!"
Nie Zheng, who was far away, could vaguely hear Fang Zhengyi's voice and his face became long.
Muttering to myself.
It has begun. He is spreading rumors to confuse the public again!
"I, Fang Zheng, have the honor of being the magistrate of Jianjiang. The people have no food, and I cannot escape the blame!"
"These corrupt officials who have lost all conscience have forced the people, who have no food to eat, to drink porridge that is as thin as water outside the city, and have imposed new taxes and levied heavy taxes!"
"You are already living in hardship, and they are rubbing salt into your fathers, elders, and sisters' wounds!!"
"Worse than a beast! Worse than a beast!"
"I, Fang Zheng, am a sinner of this generation. I apologize to all the elders and sisters!"
As he said this, he picked up the imperial sword and cut off a lock of his hair.
The people around were all shocked and moved.
This is a good official who truly serves the people! Today he finally sees the blue sky again!
"Mr. Fang!! This is Mr. Qingtian!" Someone shouted.
Many people followed suit and shouted, and for a moment the sound of shouting to the sky was heard everywhere.
Fang Zhengyi looked down in confusion.
Hey! That's not right? I didn't arrange any childcare today?
After hearing this, Liu Xun was almost crying.
The whole person struggled desperately, and the wooden yoke made a clanging sound.
Fortunately, there were yamen runners behind him holding him down.
Fang Zhengyi! You are fucking imitating my way of speaking! You will die a miserable death!
Seeing that the situation was getting heated, Fang Zheng struck while the iron was hot and shouted angrily: "These two thieves have no respect for the law! They have no regard for the people! They are shameless! Their crimes are heinous!"
"Since you are so hard-hearted towards the people, then don't blame me... I am also hard-hearted!"
Liu Xun kept making hoarse sounds.
"Box! Box! Box!!"
Still learning...still learning!! I hate it!
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, he raised the imperial sword high up, closed his eyes, and slashed at Liu Xun's neck without hesitation!
There was a "bang" sound, and the whole place fell into silence...
