Fu Guozhong's eyes also turned red when he saw this scene.
He did so much just by following his heart and doing what he should do.
Even at the moment of death, he never regretted it.
He was just worried that his family wouldn't have a good ending.
But now, the imperial envoy is impartial and stands on the side of justice.
So many people, colleagues, people he knew and didn't know stood up to speak for him.
He...how could he have such virtue!
"Everyone, please stand up. I already know what you said."
"The Xue family of Guozhou has committed numerous evil deeds. Their crimes are unforgivable. They are sentenced to immediate execution and their property confiscated to be used for disaster relief and epidemic prevention in Guozhou."
"The sentence is to be executed immediately!"
"Guozhou Tongpan Fu Guozhong is a just official, fair and strict, always keeping the people in mind, and now he will be reinstated. From now on, he will temporarily assist me in managing Guozhou."
"Those who carry firewood for others should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow and wind."
"Master Fu, I'm sorry for making you suffer before."
As soon as Murong Qingli said this, there was a cheer at the scene.
Even Fu Guozhong, the mummy with wide-eyed eyes, suddenly burst into tears.
He suddenly felt that it was worth it!
Whatever he does, it's worth it!
He is willing to continue to stick to his original intention for the sake of the people!
I am also willing to be loyal to His Majesty of the Great Zhou Kingdom until death!
The Xue family is a cancer in Guozhou City. After they are eradicated, the future of Guozhou City will only get better and better.
"Why? My third sister is a government official's wife in the capital..."
"Shut up!" Xue Gang was stopped by Xue Pan before he could finish his words.
"Official family? That's great. After returning to Beijing, I will write a letter to His Majesty to severely punish Yao Zhaoqing from the Ministry of Revenue." Feng Liuyu said with a cold face.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the three members of the Xue family suddenly changed, and they looked dejected and desperate.
This Rong guy really knows everything!
It’s over. The Xue family’s century-old foundation will finally be destroyed.
They were going to die anyway. Xue Pan and Xue Gang looked terrified and dazed, but old man Xue Hongyuan suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, even if you severely punish this and that, what's the point?"
"The natural disasters in Guozhou are called heaven's punishment."
"Even if you punish Lord Wang and kill my Xue family, what can you do?"
"As long as the drought is not resolved, the people of Guozhou will not be able to live in peace."
"You should be grateful to the official in front of you from the capital, so why not beg him kindly?"
"Let him go and ask his noble emperor to issue an edict of apology as soon as possible for the sake of the people and seek forgiveness from heaven."
"You may not know this yet, but the so-called imperial envoy is actually a relative of the emperor."
After saying this, Xue Hongyuan bit his tongue and committed suicide on the spot.
"Dad, Dad!" Xue Pan and Xue Gang realized it later and shouted.
However, no one sympathized with them.
Hearing this, Murong Qingli and Feng Liuyu's eyes became frighteningly cold almost at the same time.
The Xue family knew they could not escape the death penalty, so they said these words in public.
This statement is simply intended to stir up everyone's dissatisfaction and contradictions towards His Majesty.
If the emperor in the capital did not issue an edict of repentance, it meant that he did not care about the lives of the people of Guozhou.
What would the people of Guozhou think?
If Your Majesty issues an edict of repentance, you will face even more troubles in the future.
The Xue family dares to act like this, there must be someone standing behind them.
Moreover, there is definitely more than just Wang Desheng and Minister of Household Affairs.
It can even involve a group of people in the court.
Haha, interesting!
Murong Qingli curled the corners of his mouth coldly, and a trace of bloodthirsty cruelty flashed in his eyes.
When he returns, he will make sure that those who caused trouble behind the scenes will be killed without a burial place.
"I think that natural disasters are natural disasters. What is the point of saying they are punishments from heaven?"
"Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, has been diligent and hardworking since he ascended the throne. He is wise and resolute, and is determined to govern the country."
"It was because the prefect of Guozhou lied and concealed the truth that the people of Guozhou suffered a lot."
"As soon as I learned of the situation, His Majesty ordered me to go to Guozhou immediately to punish the evil historians, open the granaries, stop the epidemic, and prevent the locust plague."
"In fact, everyone has seen that since Lord Rong came, who among the people of Guozhou has died of hunger? Who has been humiliated by the government's oppression?"
"Not only that, Lord Rong also wrote to His Majesty, asking the imperial physicians in the capital to come to Guozhou to treat those infected with the epidemic, and asked me to work hard to prevent the locust disaster."
"Lord Rong said that he would never give up any of the people of Guozhou, because they are all citizens of the Great Zhou Kingdom."
"Regarding everyone's future life and placement, Lord Rong has also made arrangements."
"Because he cares about the people of Guozhou, Lord Rong also plans to go to the Vientiane Pagoda to pray for rain in person."
"Shouldn't we be proud that we have such a Majesty and such a Lord Rong?"
Just as Feng Liuyu finished speaking, he heard a child's voice from among the onlookers.
"Grandpa, look, that Lord Rong is the one who helped you the day before yesterday and helped me pick up the ball."
“He’s a good man.”
Children speak without restraint.
His words moved everyone present.
A high-ranking official from the capital city was actually willing to help an old man who looked very down and out.
He was actually willing to help a snotty-nosed kid by bending down to pick up a toy ball.
Such people provided them with food on the first day they arrived and stabilized the chaotic situation in Guozhou.
Such people were sent by the emperor of their Great Zhou Kingdom.
Without them, no one would dare to believe what Guozhou would be like today.
"Oh, my Lord!"
"Thank you, Lord Qingtian, for taking charge of this for us!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
“…”
The common people and officials knelt down again like a tide, shouting all kinds of sincere and simple words.
Murong Qingli couldn't help but be moved at this moment.
So this is why Simian encouraged him to go out more often and interact with the people?
Well, somehow, he suddenly missed Miss Si.
I miss the way she cursed in her heart but smiled like a flower on her face.
I miss the way she looked at him silly but with clear eyes.
I miss her lying beside me, as peaceful as a sleeping beauty.
I miss the time when he secretly played the 32nd level of Candy Crush while Lady Sima knew nothing about it.
…
In the following time, Murong Qingli ordered people to announce on the spot all the evil deeds of the Xue family that he had people investigate in advance.
After the incident, Xue Pan and Xue Gang found that they had been beheaded.
All members of Wang Desheng's family and Xue's family were imprisoned.
Anyone involved in the illegal business of Wang Desheng and the Xue family will be killed without mercy.
Murong Qingli asked those who claimed to be innocent to speak to each other and report on each other.
Those who have committed heinous crimes shall be killed.
Those who commit crimes will be killed.
Those who aid and abet the tyrant will be killed.
Those whose crimes did not warrant death were exiled.
The truly innocent people were released.
After dealing with Wang Desheng and the Xue family, just as Murong Qingli had expected, the local gentry came to the door and asked for donations of grain and money.
Murong Qingli accepted all of these.
After finishing these things, he handed over other matters to Fu Guozhong and Fan Yisheng, and he personally went to the Vientiane Tower to pray for rain.
(Ahhh, I will finish the Guozhou plot as soon as possible, and then go back to Gonglang~)
