The great emperor of crossing

"Brother, there shouldn't be any further investigation into this matter, right? So many people have come forward to testify, it's not too much to convict directly, right?"

Li Bing had a mentality of fighting against injustice, he really couldn't let these people suffer so much humiliation under this situation,

"The case still needs to be investigated and heard. This is a legal procedure. Some time ago, due to the reform of the imperial court, some mistakes were inevitable. But I didn't expect such mistakes to cause such a big loss. This is my fault!"

Wei Yang did not choose to follow Li Bing's suggestion, he still wanted to safeguard the dignity of the law.

"Do you still remember the matter of sending money from all merchants in the trial today? Whether it is the past national law or the current interim law, this kind of money sending behavior also constitutes a crime, but considering that they are passive behaviors, it can be considered Take it lightly, so this matter still needs to be investigated, and it is best to let these merchants explain one by one!"

"What are you going to do? If you use fines, they will think that you are no different from sending money."

"Then tell the truth about these things. The people accept the money in front of the people, and at the same time tell the people that the money is used for construction and restoration. If they don't have money, help them restore the store first. We can first find a way to check these officials Take out the money and help them rebuild the store, but tell them that if there is no money to fine, you can consider the store to offset the account, that is, according to the proportion of the money they send, and in accordance with the provisions of the national law, the direct deduction, that is, It is said that the tax they pay may be heavier in the first year. This matter can be considered at the discretion of the people. They are victims, but they are also condoning the lawlessness of these officials, do you think that makes sense?"

Li Bing admired such a statement. He did not expect that such a law-protecting Wei Yang could think of such a way. It not only maintained the dignity of the law, but also won the support of the Bashu people. It is indeed awe-inspiring.

The next day, a notice was posted on the city wall.

"Dear citizens, when listening to everyone's grievances yesterday, I heard about giving money. I hope that all people who donate money can come to Xingyuan to register directly!"

Such a news surprised all the merchants in the city, and they directly asked for registration. Could it be that they had to find a way to return it?

At noon, Xingyuan was full of people, and the persons in charge of all the merchants hurried to register. They didn't know what would happen next, so they could only choose to guess wildly.

"Wei Yang, why don't you clarify the matter at once? If you follow your current practice, they will definitely think that they have been cheated."

"Don't worry, I know how to do these things!"

Throughout the day, there was an endless stream of people who came to register, and at night, the registration work was finally over.

"Is this all the things? You must find a way to keep it well. Let us deal with things here temporarily in the near future."

It was another day, and in the center of the city, a huge trial court suddenly appeared, with places on both sides where most citizens could sit.

At this moment, Wei Yang appeared in front of everyone. This time, the people of the whole city and many people from Bashu all appeared in such a huge venue.

"Fathers and folks in Bashu, starting from today, the government corruption case in Rongcheng officially entered the trial stage. This time we chose a fully open method to let the people of the whole city come to supervise our work. If there is any injustice, everyone It can be raised in time, but I hope everyone will be quiet during the trial process!"

As the order of Zhongshu, the current Wei Yang naturally has the power to hear the cases of officials.

"Take the prisoner!"

These officials finally reappeared in front of everyone, and the audience immediately sighed. If they hadn't emphasized at the beginning, they might have thrown things everywhere on these officials.

"Now the trial is starting. Criminals, do you admit that you have committed corruption and violated the laws of the country, and do you admit that you oppressed the local people?"

"Zhongshuling, we are really wronged! The only person who is corrupt is the Rongcheng Ling!"

This was the official who received Wei Yang that day.

"Zhao He, you are Zhao Kang's younger brother. Back then, Zhao Kang was beheaded because he defied the law openly because of his disadvantages. I didn't expect you to repeat the same mistakes after so many years. Do you still dare to speak hard here?"

"Can you produce evidence? If you can't produce evidence, don't mess around here."

"Then how did you get so much property in your family? The salaries of officials in the Tianhua Empire are fixed, and imperial officials are absolutely not allowed to engage in business. According to our calculations, you have a huge amount of property from unknown sources, but all accounts However, it completely corresponds to the ledger provided by us, how do you explain this matter?"

Zhao He no longer tried to stand up slowly as before, but was kicked in the leg by the officer and soldier, and knelt down again.

"Wei Yang, you killed my elder brother 20 years ago, but I want to tell you that my elder brother said that he should not be punished by a doctor, nor be inferior to a common man. How long can the poor law last? If you want to kill me today, I will just say it. You don’t need to find so many reasons. You said that these huge properties were collected from my house. I would like to ask you who can prove it, your soldiers can prove it Is it? Colluding and still messing around here, I think your Zhongshuling is just like that."

"Do you need a witness? Good! These people watched your family's property being taken out, so bring that vase up."

A vase that Zhao He liked most appeared in Wei Yang's hand.

"What are you going to do?"

"Look, everybody, the value of this vase is enough for an official's salary for 30 years. The Tianhua Empire has only carried out reforms for 20 years. Who owns this vase? I said he found it from Zhao He's mansion, but he said No, how about giving this vase to one of them as a chamber pot?"

"do not want!"

Zhao He was startled, he didn't expect Wei Yang to use such a move.

"This thing is not yours, isn't it mine now? I want to give it to a pariah you think, can't it?"

Wei Yang went directly to the man whose wife and daughter died the day before yesterday.

"This vase will be given to you. If you sell it at a pawn shop, you can open a restaurant and save a lot of money. Give it to you. This is a reward from the state, because you said it bluntly yesterday, and it is also true. Merit!"
