He took advantage of this incident to make an example and warned all the officials in Daliang that if anyone dared to bully the people, he would be the first to refuse, and he would be cut into pieces, skinned and convulsed.

"Chuanyuhuatian enters the palace!"

Not long after, Yuhuatian trotted into the main hall.

"Chen Yuhuatian pays homage to His Majesty and Queen Mother."

"Be flat!"

Yang Lihua said with her vermilion lips slightly parted.

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

"Yuhuatian, bring up the witnesses and physical evidence to me."

After he saluted, Su Beichen asked loudly.

"promise!"

Yuhuatian raised his hand and said.

after that.

He asked more than a dozen Jinyi guards to bring more than a dozen men and women into the hall, and there were still a lot of papers, which seemed to be confessions and interrogation materials.

"What grievances do you have, even if you say it, I will be the master for you."

Su Beichen said loudly.

"Gentlemen, we are all poor people who were harmed by the beasts of the Tomb Guarding Army. They are not human beings. They bully the market, kill people and rob goods, and even rob people's daughters. Lords, please avenge us. "

A woman in her thirties was the first to cry and said.

"What kind of grievances do you have, let me tell you in detail, I will be the master for you."

Su Beichen's tone softened a lot.

He can be arrogant to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but he can't be arrogant to the people of a big beam, because that is extremely immoral behavior.

Also ashamed to do such a thing.

"Master Qingtian, Ma Xiaolian, a woman from Zhaojiazhuang. She married Liu Dagui from the same village as his wife ten years ago. Although her life was poor, she lived happily ever after. However, one night three years ago, the dog There were nearly a hundred members of the Mausoleum Guard Corps in Japan. When they broke into our village, they killed all the men, even the children. The women, who were even a little bit pretty, let them harm them. My husband Liu Dagui was given by them. I chopped off my head and killed me. Later, I went to the local county government to file a complaint, but instead I was beaten and detained, and I was locked up for more than half a year."

"My lord, the women understand that those idiots are soldiers and have backers, but the women still can't swallow this breath, so I hope the lord will be the master for the women."

Ma Xiaolian knelt on the ground and told her miserable experience.

"Bastard! Damn it."

When Yang Lihua heard the words, she immediately scolded the case.

She also didn't expect that these mausoleum guards were so cruel, they would wantonly slaughter villages and bully women, and they really deserved to die.

"No, and the county government at that time was also an accomplice, so we can't let him go lightly."

With this in mind, she looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in front of all civil and military officials.

"Sun Ju, as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I would like to ask you, what county is the former Zhaojiazhuang located in, and who is the county magistrate?"

Under the stage, the civil servants are in the array.

A 47-year-old official stepped out.

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, the former Zhaojiazhuang is under the jurisdiction of Changhe County, and its county magistrate is Tian Qifeng."

He is Sun Ju, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Tian Qifeng, Changhe County, if I remember correctly, Changhe County also belongs to Shuntian Prefecture, right?"

Yang Lihua asked.

"The Queen Mother is right, Changhe County is a county under the rule of Shuntian Prefecture."

Sun Ju said quickly.

He understood that Tian Qifeng was finished.

"Come here, pass on the order of my palace to arrest this Tian Qifeng. This palace wants to try this case in person. This person is actually helping the evildoers. We should not let him go lightly."

Yang Lihua said loudly.

"Yuhuatian, you are the commander of Jinyiwei. I entrust this matter to you. I will do it now. I will wait here."

"..."

Yuhuatian looked at Su Beichen when he heard the words.

He was asking Su Beichen for instructions, would he listen to the Queen Mother Yang Lihua?

"Yuhuatian, what are you still doing, didn't you hear the Queen Mother's order? Hurry up and bring Tian Qifeng and all the servants of the county government to the Palace, so that the Queen Mother can properly interrogate them today."

Su Beichen drank lightly.

"promise!"

With Su Beichen's instructions, Yuhuatian immediately led Jin Yiwei to Changhe County to fetch people with the order.

"Ma Xiaolian, go to the side hall and wait for the summons. You have also seen that with the Queen Mother upholding justice for you, your grievances will be wiped clean."

Su Beichen also felt sorry for this woman, so he was very polite to her.

"Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Master Qingtian."

Ma Xiaolian hurriedly kowtowed to thank her.

After that, she followed the guards to the Piandian Jinghou to pass the edict.

"Continue, I will see what other evil deeds these beasts have."

Su Beichen continued to preside over the trial.

At this time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other in blank dismay, especially the dozens of officials who had just impeached Su Beichen, they had a bad feeling.

Xu Bin, the provoking prime minister, stood there right now, without saying a word, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Come on, bring a chair for Master Xiang."

Hearing this, the two guards quickly brought a chair and placed it in front of Xu Bin.

After that, leave.

"Master Xiang, you are also very old, it's not easy to stand, sit down."

Su Beichen said.

"Thank you, Sima."

Xu Bin was also polite and sat down.

"Come on, who will claim justice next."

Su Beichen turned around and looked at the dozen or so men and women who had just entered.

"My lord, Ma Dabao, a grassroots man, has something to say."

A somewhat lame man gritted his teeth and said.

"Who are you? What grievances do you have? To put it bluntly, this palace and all the adults are in charge of you."

Chapter 90 Evil deeds are monstrous, and the ghost comes to Junchen for promotion

"My lord, Caomin is from Houzhao Village. Their ancestors have been hunters in the village for generations. They have been hunting for a living in the mountains behind the village for many years."

The lame Ma Dabao said.

"continue!"

Su Beichen said.

"Two years ago, Caomin was lucky enough to kill a big bug in the mountains. I thought you would buy a good price and ask for a yellow-flowered girl as a wife. Unexpectedly, more than a dozen soldiers from the Tomb Guard Army came to our house after hearing the news and found Caomin. , They claimed to buy my worm, but they didn't give me the money. I disagreed, so they beat my old mother to death and limped the grass man. Although the grass man wanted revenge, he was powerless and could only bear it. Later, I heard people say that it was the Ximen officials from Changhe County who fell in love with my tiger, so they bought those soldiers to trouble me."

"My lord, please make the decision for me and bring these bastard traitors to justice."

Ma Dabao, a big man, burst into tears as he spoke.

"This... Ximen high official, can't he be Ximenchun? He has a title. His ancestor was a second-rank general. He was awarded a title because of his military achievements. He seems to be an earl, yes, the Earl of Jeju. However, this title is not hereditary, and nowadays, the Ximen family does not have any outstanding people, but after several generations of hard work, the family has a lot of money, and they are very popular in Changhe County."

When it comes to the senior officials of Ximen in Changhe County, an official in Zhangtai Palace knows his origins well.

"Are you explaining [General Zhenbei] Ximenhu during Emperor De's time?"

"It's Ximen Tiger. He used to be Emperor Mingde's bodyguard. Later, he joined the army and fought with Emperor Mingde in the south and north. Because of the Battle of Wucheng, he put down the rebellion at that time and was named [Jizhou Bo]."

"It's no wonder that Changhe County didn't dare to touch him. No one dared to change it. Ximen Tiger was so powerful at the time and promoted many people. Although he is dead now, there are still many people who have received Ximen Tiger's favor back then. They It is Ximenchun's backer."

"However, today Ximenchun may be facing a big problem. Our chief Sima will spread the matter out, and I'm afraid we won't let it go."

"What do you think Su Beichen wants to do?"

"I don't know, this, I can't see it. However, it's not a good thing anyway."

"You can't say that, but I think that now, inside and outside the court, officials and businessmen are colluding, and the common people are fish and meat. It's time to kill this evil wind."

"Master Wu, you are really naive. Is this something we should worry about? Besides, these things have nothing to do with us. Remember, we are officials."

"Master Ma can't say that. Let me ask you, if this kind of unhealthy trend is not stopped, what will we do if we leave office, have no power and power, and our children and grandchildren will be bullied? Sometimes, to maintain the justice of Daliang law Being strict is also to protect ourselves. We have the right now, we can do whatever we want and ignore the law, but in the same way, one day in the future, someone will treat us like this, and then, what can we use to resist?"

"for this I......"

In Zhangtai Palace, there were two fourth-rank adults arguing. Although their voices were extremely low, they still did not escape Su Beichen's ears.

At this time, Su Beichen was quite interested in this so-called Lord Wu.

The importance of the "Daliang Law" mentioned in the other party's speech just now made him look at it with admiration.

Because this point of view coincides with his point of view.

As the saying goes: there is no rule without rules.

The reason why Daliang's power is declining now is because Yuwen's imperial power is weak, leading to the power of all parties, the rules made before are gradually broken, and no one follows them.

To revitalize Daliang, one must establish absolute authority. By enhancing the authority of the [Daliang Law], there will be laws to follow in all matters. No one can escape the sanctions of Daliang Law, including the royal relatives.

"Come here, send an order to Yu Huatian, asking him to bring back this so-called Ximen high official. This Palace will personally interrogate him. If it is true, everyone will be executed."

When Xu Bin heard this, his closed eyelids couldn't help but twitch lightly, because he had received some kindness from Ximen Tiger back then, so he couldn't bear the fact that Ximen's family was slaughtered by everyone.

It's just that, after guessing Su Beichen's plan to re-establish the supreme authority of "Daliang Law", he got tangled up again.

Not to mention whether he can dissuade Su Beichen, but also, he also wants to take this opportunity to rectify the court, kill a group of corrupt and evil officials, and make Daliang law become the supreme standard that everyone fears again.

"promise!"

The two guards got the order and immediately conveyed the decree to Yu Huatian.

Yang Lihua didn't expect that there were so many problems with the Daliang court. Su Beichen just went to condolences to the refugees, but he encountered such a big [tumor] from the Tomb Guard Corps. If officials at all levels were carefully examined, I am afraid there will be even bigger surprises. wait for her.

Now that the matter developed, she also guessed what Su Beichen was plotting today.

Isn't he afraid of causing chaos in the world?

This is still the case in the small Changhe County. If it is replaced by the states, the fiefdoms of those princes and nobles may be ten times or a hundred times more serious than Changhe County.

If the imperial court attacks them, these nobles will inevitably unite and rebel against the imperial court.

"Come here, take Ma Dabao to the side hall, and wait for the edict to be delivered."

After the guards took Ma Dabao away, Su Beichen continued the trial.

"Next person!"

During the continuous interrogation, the civil and military personnel of the two dynasties began to tremble.

They were all afraid.

Usually, none of them has ever done this kind of thing of oppressing the people, but they are high above the [official lords], no one dares to touch them, but with today's posture, they have a faint feeling that this matter will not be good.

"Gollum!"

Many people secretly swallowed their saliva.

"My lord, the old woman sued Na Lanyi, who was the head of the household department at the time, that he and some members of the Hailong gang secretly mined copper mines in our village. In order to cover up the crime, he also imprisoned the villagers of our village as Coolies, be free labor for them."

A five-year-old woman plopped on her knees and began to recount her grievances.

"Mining copper mines? Sea Dragon Gang?"
