Now that the King of Wu has surfaced, there is no reason for him to stay in Haiyuan City any longer.
The next morning, Fang Zhengyi sent yamen runners to the streets to inform the people to execute Wang Qian.
Not only Wang Qian, but also the police officers who helped him do the dirty work were taken to Caishikou.
There is also the silver that was moved from the silver vault.
Fang Zhengyi was not going to handle the matter in a low-key manner. He had originally thought that the matter would remain here for a while and order would be restored slowly, but now he was punishing the case in a high-profile manner!
He was afraid that once he left, there would be a power vacuum, the people would become panic-stricken, and new forces would take the opportunity to rise up.
Directly punishing all guilty persons now can not only calm the people's hearts, but also deter other officials and servants.
Hold on for a while and wait for the boss to send someone else down. The new person will then have time to sort things out slowly.
After a morning of vigorous publicity, Caishikou was crowded with people, and countless people were crowded together.
Fang Zhengyi had already asked about Wang Qian's guilt in advance.
The punishment for multiple crimes was not simply beheading, but the extermination of three entire clans and beheading!
Fang Zhengyi was unable to exterminate the three tribes, so he could only lock up all three tribes of Wang Qian in jail and wait for others to deal with them.
Wang Qian was sentenced to be beheaded!
To be honest, beheading is too disgusting. Fang Zhengyi didn't really want to do it in the first place and thought it would be better to just chop off the head.
But as more and more evidence was presented to him, his heart hardened.
Help the Lu family to annex the people's land, forcibly recruit salt workers, help Lu Renjie to find beautiful women, and force the people of the city to celebrate Master Lu's birthday...
Every case involves murder and bloodshed, and all of them are the people’s hard-earned money!
Just cut it in half!
The rest of the officers who had committed crimes were tied up next to Wang Qian. These people were taken to jail overnight.
Some people have resigned from the government office after taking gold and silver from the treasury.
The gold and silver worth tens of thousands of taels had already been placed by them.
I thought I could rest assured if I kept my money in a bank, but it was transferred away overnight...
The accomplice was not sentenced to death, but at most his property was confiscated and he was flogged in public.
On the execution platform, the convicted officers cried out to the sky and protested their injustice, while the common people below cursed them and countless vegetable leaves flew onto the execution platform.
Fang Zhengyi sat quietly behind the desk watching this scene, with Shui Yibai by his side.
He knows too well what kind of life the lower-class people live.
Human nature is almost completely suppressed, and it's good to have a rare opportunity to vent.
However, Wang Qian seemed to have given up hope of living. He neither cried nor shouted. He was locked up in jail for several days. Although no one abused him, he was completely frightened.
You know clearly what you have done wrong.
Looking at the angry people below, Wang Qian's face was numb, and he even had a vague hope that he would be beheaded.
When the sound of the signing stick falling to the ground was heard, a look of fear appeared on Wang Qian's face, but this expression of fear turned into extreme pain the next second!
The guillotine fell, and thick blood gushed out from the waist, flowing slowly on the execution platform and spreading...
The people below also held their breath collectively at this moment, and the air suddenly became quiet.
But there are a few people in the crowd whose expressions seem different...
Fang Zhengyi also felt particularly uncomfortable. Although he had killed people before, he did not like bloody methods.
Although I felt uncomfortable, I couldn't help but take a look out of curiosity.
Wang Qian did not die quickly. Instead, he screamed miserably, with half of his body dragging on the ground and his two arms waving in the air twice.
It looks a bit like a Geodude that was struck by Pikachu at 100,000 volts.
Shui Yibai was so nervous that she was shaking all over. She turned around and wanted to leave, but Fang Zheng grabbed her hand.
"See? If you were caught while trying to assassinate the emperor, you would have died like this! No, it would be even worse than this. You would have been stripped naked and tortured in public!"
"......"
Shui Yibai gritted her teeth, turned around, and looked at Wang Qian's half body stubbornly...
Seeing this, Fang Zhengyi was completely convinced.
She is so stubborn! Seeing her like this, I have to keep her by my side every day to brainwash her.
Otherwise, if a big mess breaks out in the future, I may not be able to handle it.
The only thing left was flogging and hard labor, which Fang Zhengyi was too lazy to even look at. The result would be achieved if the mastermind was dead.
So, he turned around and went back to the public housing to continue handling other official business.
While he was busy, someone suddenly came to report outside: "Master Fang, there are people who have come to complain and want to see you. Is there something important to report?"
Fang Zheng said without even raising his head: "Well, call him in."
Not long after, a few people walked into the public housing estate. They were wearing nice clothes and seemed to be from wealthy families.
Fang Zhengyi first looked him up and down, then said, "What is so important that you have to see me? Isn't there someone outside helping you to redress your grievances?"
The leader bowed and looked around like a thief, then whispered, "Master Fang! I have important evidence about the Lu family here! I hope you can take a look at it yourself?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Present it."
"I can't present it... It's a very valuable treasure in my house!"
"Valuable treasure, how valuable is it?" Fang Zheng showed some interest.
"It's priceless! It's immeasurable. It's too big, and there are many taboos!" The leading man spoke with a very confident tone.
"Just say what you want to say! No need to hide it!" Seeing his behavior, Fang Zhengyi began to get impatient.
Why the hell are you pretending to be a riddle teller? I hate this the most!
"It is...it is a jade tripod that Master Lu ordered for us! It is carved from peerless jade and is more than a person tall! I am a jade merchant, but Master Lu forced me to order it for him. It has not yet been delivered to the Lu family."
Ding?!
Fang Zheng suddenly perked up.
Ordinary people don't like this thing! It's a symbol of the emperor, and it's a jade tripod as tall as a person...
"Are you serious?!"
"Really? I don't dare pull it out. I'd be sad if it was destroyed, so I want you to take care of it."
Please let me handle...
The jade tripod is more than a person's height and is made of incomparable jade. I should bring this thing back to the palace as a betrothal gift. Plus with my achievement this time, the emperor, my father-in-law, will be so happy that he will give me another daughter!
Moreover, he had only seen such a big jade on TV in his previous life...
As he thought about it, the smile on Fang Zheng's face became increasingly wild.
"Good! You took the initiative to report the stolen goods, which will be a great achievement! Wait for me to clean up, and then I will go with you to see the jade tripod!"
Not long after, Fang Zhengyi took Zhou Tie and several jade merchants to see the jade tripod.
Since my darling Zhang Biao is not around, I can only bring a backup bodyguard with me when I travel.
Arriving at the house, Fang Zhengyi couldn't help rubbing his hands together and asked expectantly, "Where's the tripod?"
"It's there! Look, sir..."
Fang Zhengyi and Zhou Tie looked in the direction the jade merchant pointed at the same time.
Just as I turned my head, I suddenly felt a heavy blow on the back of my head!
Fang Zheng's eyes went dark and his consciousness gradually faded!
\"Fuck...Cut...\"
