Uchido.
Shen Changqing sat there, after about a quarter of an hour, Hong Chengcheng walked in hurriedly.
“See your lord!”
When he first saw Shen Changqing, Hong Chengcheng had already bowed and saluted.
Obviously.
He already knew about the matter of the other party temporarily acting as the magistrate.
If the people of the Swordsman Division did not have the direct power of life and death over the people of the Yamen, then the prefects of a city have this right.
Thinking of Shen Changqing’s murder without blinking.
Hong Cheng didn’t dare to do anything rude.
“This is the court’s verdict on the Zhao family. Take a look!”
Shen Changqing put the verdict on the table.
Hong Cheng took a few steps forward, picked up the verdict, and looked at it seriously.
Gradually.
His complexion is also solemn.
After reading it all, Hong Chengcai respectfully put the verdict back: “My lord, the verdict has been down. I don’t know what should I do now?”
“What else can I do? Collusion with evil spirits is a dead end, and it’s normal to end up like this.”
Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, a sneer appeared on his face.
“Zhao Fang can be a county magistrate, and the power behind the Zhao family is not small. At the moment, Lin’an City is just a clan land of the Zhao family, and there are many branches in other places.
But no matter how many branches are, it is useless. After the verdict, I believe that the court has taken action, and the branches of the Zhao family in various places are unlikely to be spared.
Send me an order to push everyone in the Zhao family, including the servants, into prison! ”
“Yes!”
Hong Cheng nodded, and then hesitated slightly: “Zhao has a lot of family members, so he may not be willing to go to jail. Although the yamen have some martial arts, they are far worse.
If the Zhao family resists, I’m afraid they won’t be able to suppress it! ”
At last.
Hong Cheng’s face was also very embarrassed.
A big yamen, even the Zhao family could not be suppressed.
But embarrassment belongs to embarrassment, and what he said is also true.
Even if the yamen are full, there are only ten or twenty yamen, the Zhao family counts as servants, there are as many as one or two hundred people.
The Yamen can now guard the Zhao family because they have not really reached the point where the net is broken. The people of the Zhao family still retain a bit of hope and dare not have any head-on conflict with the court.
Now that the verdict has been issued, it is undoubtedly sentenced to death for the Zhao family.
At this point.
The people of the Zhao family will certainly not stand alone.
If a conflict really broke out, with the help of the yamen’s hands, it was very likely to be directly overwhelmed.
Shen Changqing smiled slightly: “What do you mean?”
“The humble job hopes that the adults can go to the battle. The Zhao family does not resist. If they resist, they are not qualified to cause a storm in front of the adults!”
As Hong Cheng said, he slapped another flattery.
“After all, the strength of the adults is definitely the first in Lin’an City.”
“Well, I happened to go to Zhao’s house to have a look.”
Shen Changqing got up.
See here.
Hong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He was also afraid that the Zhao family would resist. If one or two of them escaped, he would certainly not escape the blame.
——
Zhao’s house.
Since Zhao Fang committed suicide, the atmosphere in the Zhao family has been very solemn.
Everyone can understand.
The crime of colluding with evil spirits, one carelessness is the fate of ransacking the family.
But the problem is.
There is a servant guarded by Zhao’s house, and the others have no way to evacuate, unless they really tear their skin and rush out completely, there is naturally no possibility of interception by the servant.
But that way.
It’s not just colluding with evil spirits, but it may even be charged with ignoring Daqin’s laws and attempting to rebel.
At that time.
There really is no way for the Zhao family to survive.
At the moment in the lobby, all the direct descendants of the Zhao family are gathered together, and everyone’s face is different, some are solemn, some are panicked.
“There is no movement in the court right now, but you all know exactly what the consequences of colluding with the evil spirits are, and now I am waiting for a sharp blade to hang in the air, depending on when it falls.”
In the top position, a middle-aged man who looked rather scholarly and Confucian, spoke lightly.
His name is Zhao Li, a direct line of the Zhao family, and the same generation as Zhao Fang.
Now Zhao Fang committed suicide.
In Zhao’s family, Zhao Li has the highest seniority.
Words fall.
Someone in the lobby suddenly sobbed, it was the female family who was scared to cry.
A feminine-looking young man sneered at this moment: “The Zhao family has fallen so far. It is not the uncle colluding with the evil spirits. In my opinion, as long as someone commits the crime, the court will not necessarily rush to exterminate it!”
“Zhao Mingye, what do you mean!” a young man shouted angrily.
“Zhao Mingtang, what I mean is very clear. If your father pays his debts, your father has done something wrong. Naturally someone should pay it back. You can’t be the fault of one person. Let the entire Zhao family bear it!”
Zhao Mingye sneered and stood up to speak loudly.
“There are a total of one or two hundred people in the Zhao Family Courtyard. Are they going to be buried for the sake of the uncle, but you, the uncle did something wrong, and you, the son, can’t escape the relationship.
It would be better for your department to go to the yamen to confess guilt, maybe the court will take it lightly.
Even if you are sentenced to death, it is worthy of the crime. I am innocent. Everyone is right! ”
Words fall.
Someone responded immediately.
“Mingye is right, Zhao Mingtang, why should we bear the wrong things your father did!”
“Yes, you die if you die, and you have to drag hundreds of people into the Zhao family. This approach is simply frantic.”
“In my opinion, it would be better to tie them directly and tie them to the Yamen to redeem the merits–”
When a person opened his mouth and looked at the eyes of Zhao Mingtang and others, it was already full of cold and vicious.
In their view, the Zhao family’s end was entirely due to Zhao Fang.
Zhao Mingtang was furious: “When my father was a county magistrate, the Zhao family did not receive my father’s favor. What? Now that we are in trouble, one by one wants to separate the relationship–”
“enough!”
When everyone was arguing, Zhao Li suddenly let out a cold cry and interrupted them directly.
The scene suddenly quieted down.
It’s just that many people feel uneasy.
Zhao Li took a look, calmly said, “What Mingye said is not unreasonable.”
“Second Uncle——”
Zhao Mingtang’s expression changed.
Zhao Li waved his hand and interrupted the other party’s words: “But truth is the same thing. The court doesn’t know everything about reason. It has always colluded with demons and evil spirits, ranging from distribution to the army, and from the affiliation of the nine clans.
The longer things are delayed, the more disadvantaged it is for us.
Lin’an City couldn’t stay there anymore, only a way to leave. ”
“Second Uncle means, I will go directly out of Lin’an City?” Zhao Mingye was surprised.
Back out of Lin’an City.
This is no small matter.
If you really want to do this, Zhao Jiake will have no turning back, and will definitely be wanted by the court.
Zhao Li looked at him with a flash of coldness in his eyes.
“If the court doesn’t give a way to survive, then my Zhao family will naturally have to make another living!”
