The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

After realizing the truth of this, Chen Youni became like a deflated ball, and he instantly became listless.

Not only that, the harsh prison conditions made Chen Youni miserable.

Normally, Chen Youni had everything he wanted, and servants served him in droves.

But now he is behind bars and no one cares about him.

He was still wearing the same clothes he was wearing when he was arrested that day.

He should have been neat and tidy, but he was tortured in prison for many days.

It was covered in dirt and dust and looked dilapidated.

Chen Youni looks extremely haggard now, if his identity is not revealed.

It was hard for anyone to imagine that the disheveled man before his eyes was actually the once glorious magistrate of Wudu County.

At this moment, the entrance of the yamen had already been submerged by the surging crowd.

The onlookers gathered together closely.

Formed an impenetrable human wall.

Among these people, some wealthy people wanted to be able to watch the trial more comfortably.

He spared no expense to reserve private rooms with excellent locations in nearby inns and teahouses;

And those who do not have sufficient financial resources are now showing their wits as they are quick-witted.

Someone brought a ladder from somewhere and stood on it steadily.

This way, they also get an excellent view.

You can clearly witness the process of Chen Youni's trial.

The noise in the crowd rose and fell, and everyone was excited and excited.

Looking forward to the outcome of this trial.

Wait and see Chen Youni's tragic end, the more tragic the better.

Only in this way can the people who have been oppressed vent their anger.

When Wang Chengzi saw Chen Youni being brought up, he nodded to the yamen runner beside him.

The bailiff took out the charge sheet that had been written in advance and read it sentence by sentence.

The people at the gate of the yamen were still talking.

He heard the yamen runners begin to list the crimes committed by Chen Youni and the Chen family one by one.

He closed his mouth and listened attentively.

At this moment, the entire yamen was silent.

Only the clear, loud, and melodious voice of the yamen runner echoed in the air:

"The criminal Chen Youni and his family members have committed countless crimes in Wudu!

First: They dared to embezzle disaster relief food and turned a blind eye to the suffering of the disaster victims;

Second: As the official of Wudu, he not only failed to seek welfare for the people.

Instead, he imposed heavy taxes and levied levies under various pretexts, making life difficult for the people of Wudu, and causing widespread resentment.

Third...

It has been confirmed that all of the above is true.

Chen Youni, do you admit it or not? "

Chen Youni listened to the yamen runners reading out the crimes he had committed one by one.

Pale in the face and trembling in the body, he could not deny the truth of the charges.

"I... I admit it." His voice was filled with despair and regret.

I don't know whether I should regret that I should not have done these wrong things in the first place.

I still regret that I didn't do it cleanly and was discovered.

But now, it's too late to say anything.

Wang Chengzi stared at the person in front of him solemnly, his eyes revealing majesty and determination:

"Since the crime is known, I will make the judgment according to the law!"

Chen Youni knew that the situation was hopeless, faced with irrefutable evidence and Wang Chengzi's righteous words.

He knew very well that any excuses would be of no avail.

At this moment, Chen Youni was completely desperate, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

I could only nod silently to express my agreement.

His body, which had been relatively straight, collapsed in an instant.

He collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball, his face filled with despair and regret.

I sighed inwardly, "Forget it... Everything is a foregone conclusion. I am finished..."

Seeing that Chen Youni no longer argued, the yamen runners exchanged glances.

One of them walked over to him and squatted down with a confession in his hand.

Another yamen runner handed the pen and ink to Chen Youni and asked him to sign the confession.

Chen Youni took the pen with trembling hands and wrote his name on the paper with trembling hands.

Every stroke seemed so heavy and difficult, as if carrying all the sins and shame of his life.

After completing this action, Chen Youni was like a deflated ball, completely lifeless.

The bailiff picked up the confession that had just been signed and shook it gently a few times to let the ink stains that had not yet dried dry quickly.

As the paper shook, the black handwriting gradually became clearer.

It was like a ruthless sword hanging over Chen Youni's head - this was the ironclad evidence of his crime!

After shaking off the ink, the bailiff respectfully placed the charges on the desk.

Wang Chengzi picked it up and took a look, then confirmed that it was correct.

He picked up the gavel and banged it, while announcing the verdict on Chen Youni.

"The criminal Chen Youni has committed many crimes. According to the laws of our dynasty, he is sentenced to immediate execution.

The execution was carried out at noon three days later, and his relatives were exiled to Lingnan.

We will leave immediately tomorrow."

Now the rest of the Chen family also collapsed.

They all knew that Lingnan was a wild and desolate land.

The conditions are poor and the climate is hot, making it difficult for human survival.

Moreover, these members of the Chen family have always lived a life of luxury and it is estimated that they can never reach Lingnan.

Will die on the road to exile.

Chen Jingbing shook his head in disbelief. He really couldn't bear to think about what would happen to him if he was exiled to Lingnan.

For Chen Jingbing, who has lived in a wealthy family since childhood and has never suffered any hardship.

I even feel that it would be better to kill myself with a knife, at least I won't have to suffer.

Chen Jingbing kept repeating with his mouth trembling: "Impossible, impossible.

I won’t go to Lingnan. I won’t go to Lingnan.”

As he said that, he stood up from the ground and wanted to run outside and escape.

The people who had been watching at the door blocked the door tightly.

Chen Jingbing couldn't run away at all, not to mention that there were yamen runners watching him on both sides.

When the bailiff saw that Chen Jingbing dared to run, he picked up a killing stick and hit Chen Jingbing on the knee.

He was beaten so hard that he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while.

Chen Jingbing was beaten and looked dazed.

He just kept muttering, "Impossible, this is impossible."

When the onlookers saw this, they immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Everyone felt that the bailiff's beating was very effective.

And I really wish I could go up and hit him a few times.

Wang Chengzi looked at the angry people and waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down.

Then he stood up from behind the desk and walked straight to the middle of the hall.

Looking down at Chen Youni who had a dejected look on his face, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Chen Youni disregarded the lives of the people for his own selfish desires.

It's all his own fault that he has ended up like this.

This also made Wang Chengzi more determined to stay true to his original aspirations and reminded him never to do such a thing in the future.
