Chapter 94: Taking over Yangping

Lin Biao, the magistrate of Yangping County, was also a good-for-nothing. Seeing that all the people he brought with him had fallen, his legs began to tremble like his disappointing nephew Lin Hao, and the fat on his body also trembled.

"Don't come over here. I am the magistrate of Yangping County. If you dare to kill me, you will be going against our Great Zhou court."

Lin Biao was afraid. He didn't dare to gamble. If this group of desperate criminals really wanted to kill him, then he would be really finished. It seemed that he could only use the Great Zhou court to shock them.

"This is Qin territory, the fief of the King of Qin. The King of Qin holds the power to kill. You have offended the King of Qin today, and your entire clan should be exterminated."

When Yangping County Magistrate Lin Biao saw that these people were still talking about the King of Qin, he knew that this was bad. He had been betting on the King of Qin and he should have died on the road. These people were just impersonating the King of Qin. But seeing how fearless these people were, could it really be the King of Qin?

Lin Biao, the magistrate of Yangping County, broke out in cold sweat. If he had offended the royal family and the imperial aristocracy, he would die. He had been domineering in Yangping for so many years because Yangping was not important and the court would not manage this place too much. In addition, he would spend a large amount of silver to bribe his superiors every year.

But now he has offended the King of Qin, and he even dared to attack the King of Qin and his men. It's over, it's over, no one can save him. Those senior officials will definitely not offend the King of Qin for a small official like him.

"Liu Hai, arrest all the detectives and soldiers, and temporarily detain Yangping County Magistrate Lin Biao in the cell. He will be tried publicly at noon tomorrow."

"obey"

Liu Hai and five other guards tied up all these people and took them directly to Yangping's prison.

As soon as Sun Wukong and his companions left the houses on both sides of the street, people began to stick their heads out to look. They couldn't believe that Lin Biao, the magistrate of Yangping County who had been so arrogant and domineering in Yangping County, had fallen.

They were all a little happy in their hearts. Such a corrupt official finally left. What else did they hear? The King of Qin or something, the nine clans were executed, that was really great. The Lin family had always relied on Lin Biao being the county magistrate of their Yangping County, and had always been rampant and tyrannical, robbing women, and now they were finally going to be liberated.

But when the people thought of this, they all frowned. They knew that once Lin Biao was finished, the court would arrange new officials to manage Yangping. Those officials were all the same, and they wanted to squeeze ordinary people like them dry.

Sun Wukong brought Lao Bai and the others to the Yangping County Courthouse. There were several old constables and a legal advisor in the courthouse. These old constables seemed to be neglected. The legal advisor looked shifty and must not be a good person. As soon as Sun Wukong gave an order, he was thrown into jail.

Sun Wukong sat in the lobby of the yamen, looking at the case files of Yangping and the account books of the accounting office over the years, and threw all the account books on the table.

"What a jerk! The detailed items in this account book are all wrong. I wonder how much money this corrupt official has embezzled."

What did Sun Wukong think of? He took out a very large piece of rice paper, picked up the brush and started writing.

After a while, the large piece of rice paper was filled with words. Sun Wukong took out the seal of the Yangping County Magistrate and stamped it directly, then handed the paper to Liu Hai.

"Find someone to make a few more copies, and then find someone who can read, and go to every street corner in Yangping County to tell the people of Yangping about the contents."

"obey"

Liu Hai went out to do some work, and two of the other five guards were left in the yamen, while the other three all stayed in the cell to guard Lin Biao and the others.

In the streets and alleys, scholars were holding the notices written by Sun Wukong and began to speak. Many common people gathered around him to watch.

"Yangping County Magistrate Lin Biao was so bold and reckless that he attempted to assassinate the Qin Emperor's Imperial Envoy but failed, and was arrested. This Imperial Envoy heard that Yangping County Magistrate Lin Biao had committed many evil deeds, including privately adjusting taxes and colluding with his nephew Lin Hao to rob women, kill people and set fires everywhere. Tomorrow at noon, this Imperial Envoy will publicly try Yangping County Magistrate Lin Biao in the yamen. If there are any complaints that can be submitted, this Imperial Envoy will try them all and will not let any evildoer go. I will temporarily serve as the Yangping County Magistrate. Now that people are in need of people, I hope that the middle-aged men in this county who are over 30 years old and in their prime will actively sign up."

Sun Wukong's notice caused an uproar in the entire Yangping County. The people applauded and said that a good official had come.

However, the Lin family and some other local tyrants all complained that if the people appealed their crimes to the new imperial envoy, they would have no way out.

The notice sent out by Sun Wukong in the afternoon took effect. Many people had already rushed to the yamen to report the locations of soldiers and constables. Sun Wukong responded that they would conduct a unified screening after trying Yangping County Magistrate Lin Biao tomorrow.

The next morning, before noon, there were already hundreds of people gathered in front of the county government office, waiting to see how Sun Wukong would judge and sentence Lin Biao to death.

At noon, Sun Wukong sat on the high hall, looking at the people who came to watch with smiles on their faces. It seemed that the people's hearts were gradually leaning towards him.

boom!

Sun Wukong picked up the gavel and slammed it down

"Ascension!"

There were not many people in the yamen, and most of the soldiers and constables were locked up in cells by Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong could only bring back the old constables who were forced out by Lin Biao and form the current team of constables.

"mighty……"

"Bringing Lin Biao to class"

Lin Biao was brought up. He was covered in dirt and his hair was extremely messy.

"Lin Biao, do you admit your guilt?"

"The guilty official Lin Biao knows his crime"

Lin Biao no longer wanted to resist. Sun Wukong had already compiled the charges against him this morning, including the confessions of other detectives and soldiers, the manipulations in the account books, and the complaints from the people. He had no hope and only hoped that Sun Wukong would not implicate his family.

…………

"Lin Biao was originally a county magistrate, but he did not obey the law. He broke the law knowingly, adjusted taxes privately, colluded with his family members to abduct women and embezzle the disaster relief funds of the Great Zhou, seized land, and killed people for no reason. His crimes are extremely serious. He will be beheaded in the vegetable market at 3:45 pm the day after tomorrow. Anyone who colluded with him, if he voluntarily stands up and admits his mistakes, can be given a lighter punishment according to the circumstances. Otherwise, he will be severely punished. If his family members have violated the laws of the Great Zhou, they should perform labor service. Others who were unaware of the situation are not guilty."

That being said, none of the Lin family and Lin Biao's wife had no criminal record. Now he has found out all of them. How could they have an easy life? They would be jailed for life. In this way, he would have a firm foothold in Yangping. After hearing all the petitions submitted by the people, he would truly gain Yangping. Now he just took down the magistrate of Yangping County.
