The bailiffs had never seen such a scene before, but they were used to being domineering. They were sure that this group of soldiers was just bluffing. Just as they were about to draw their sabers, they heard the sound of gunfire!
"Those who dare to block my carriage will be killed without mercy!”Zhu Youjian waved his hand, and the second row of gunshots rang out. A large number of the bailiffs in black fell to the ground!
At the entrance of Hang City, blood flowed like a river!
The moment the gunshot rang out, the surrounding commoners realized that Prince Xin was not joking. They screamed and scattered.
"Enter the city!" Zhu Youjian stepped on the corpses of the bailiffs and walked towards Bianjing City step by step.
In the main hall of the government office, Zhu Youjian sat on the armchair in the middle and gave Li Yan a look. Li Yan coughed and said," Bring the plaintiff, Zhou Wanqing!”
Zhou Wanqing, who was dressed in plain white, came to the main hall and hurriedly knelt down. Her hair, which had been pulled away by the bailiffs, was scattered. Her mourning clothes were like snow, and her black hair fluttered. She had a different kind of poignant beauty.
"Bring the suspect, Wang Qia!" Li Yan stole a glance at Zhu You Jian, and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he continued to shout.
Two soldiers of the capital prefecture pushed the magistrate of Bianjing Prefecture, Wang Qia, up. Wang Qia's hands had been shackled with iron chains, and his official robes and gauze hat had been stripped off. His fat face was red and purple. It seemed that these soldiers had greeted him quite a bit.
"Wang Qia, do you know your sins?" Zhu Youjian narrowed his eyes and leaned against the armchair, asking faintly.
"I don't know!" Wang Qia spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, straightened his neck, and glared at him." Your Highness, you arrested an official of the imperial court and framed him based on the words of an unruly person without distinguishing right from wrong. This humble official is not convinced!”
"You're not convinced, right? Hand it over!" Zhu Youjian smiled coldly, grabbed a folder that he had prepared beforehand from the case, and threw it directly in front of Wang Qia." Look at it yourself!”
Wang Qia was stunned for a moment. However, when he saw the words "Seal the border defense" and "The file of Xu Shixun, the sixth-grade hundred-household of the Jinyiwei's Shangzhong Institute, supervising Bianjing Prefecture Magistrate Wang Qia…"
Xu Shixun?
When Wang Qi saw this name, his head buzzed!
Xu Shixun was his butler, in charge of the miscellaneous affairs of Wang Qia's family. He had always been loyal, but he never expected that the seemingly honest butler was actually a spy of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
" On May 18th, the 43rd year of Wanli, Wang Qia was transferred from Xingguo County to Bianjing Prefecture. He spent 150 taels of silver to buy Li Jizu's old house three miles south of the city…"
" On the tenth day of the first month of the forty-fifth year of Wanli, Wang Qiaqiang married Cui Jiaojiao, the daughter of the poor Cui family, as his concubine…"
" On the fifth day of the ninth month of the 46th year of Wanli, Wang Qia ordered the government laborers Chen and Li to seize the land of Xinghua Ridge, which was ten miles away from Hang City. He killed the farmer Zhou Taichun and his son Zhou San on the spot…"
The sweat on Wang Qia's forehead dripped down like raindrops onto the thick Jinyiwei files. In black and white, he wrote down everything he had done in the ten years since he became the official of the Bianjing Prefecture. Each stroke was written clearly and clearly!
"How about it, Wang Qi, what else do you have to say?”Zhu Youjian looked at his face covered in sweat and his whole body shivering. He stood up and asked coldly.
" Prince Qiuxin, on the account that I've been managing places for the imperial court for so many years and have worked hard even if I don't have any merits, please let me off this time. I'll retire to the fields and forest. From now on, I'll worship Your Highness's longevity tablet at home and burn incense every day to pray. I wish Your Highness a long life..."
"Will you pray for me? You can't wait for me to die immediately!" Zhu Youjian took the written complaint from Xu Guangqi and placed it in front of Wang Qia." Lord Wang, the evidence is irrefutable. Sign it!"”
" I, I…" When Wang Qia saw the words on the complaint," Bribery and perverting the law, disregard for human life, even if the murderer plundered the people's fields and committed murder, according to the Law of Ming Dynasty, he will be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and beheaded…", he immediately panicked. He knelt a few steps in front of the case and hugged Zhu Youjian's thigh, crying bitterly," Your Highness, Your Highness, please spare my life. My uncle is the current Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Zhu Guozhan. I beg you to show me respect…"
"Even if your uncle is the prime minister of the current cabinet, this king will definitely deal with you today!”
Zhu Youxiao kicked Wang Qia away." Men, take him to the prison and report the file to the Ministry of Justice. After the Chief of Rites approves it, he will be executed after autumn!"”
"Many thanks to your highness for seeking justice for this little girl. This little girl is extremely grateful!”Zhou Wanqing, who was kneeling at the side, saw that evil was rewarded with evil. She wiped her tears and rushed forward to kowtow solemnly.
"This is my duty!" Zhu You Jian lowered his head and their eyes met. Zhou Wan Qing blushed and lowered her head.
"Men, bring over the Zhou Clan's title deed that Wang Qia forcefully seized and return it to Miss Zhou.”
Not long after, Xu Guangqi quickly walked over with two thin title deeds in his hands. He handed the title deeds to Zhou Wanqing with both hands. Zhou Wanqing took it and recalled the tragic death of her father and brother. Tears fell like rain and she actually fainted on the spot.
"Your Highness, this woman's blood and qi attacked her heart, causing her to faint. Wait for this old master to prescribe a few medicines to nourish her heart and calm her nerves, then she will be fine.”
"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Xu!" Zhu Youjian looked at Zhou Wanqing, who was being helped to the back hall by Xu Guangqi. His heart felt as if it was stirring up mountains and stirring up the sea. He could not calm down for a long time.
In terms of appearance, Miss Zhou was too beautiful. This could also explain why she would enter the house from a poor woman and become Zhu Youjian's wife in the original historical timeline.
What worried him was that because of his appearance, there seemed to be a slight deviation in the original historical timeline...
"Your Highness, now that we've captured Wang Qia, all the major powers in this small city will definitely act upon hearing the news.”Li Yan said softly when he saw that he was lost in thought.
Zhu Youjian seemed to wake up from a dream and smiled awkwardly at Li Yan.
"Even if Miss Zhou doesn't come to complain, this Prince will still make a move on this Wang Qi. Next, I'll have to trouble Brother Li to do this…"
" Chen Wenlu, go to the Apricot Ridge and investigate Zhou Wanqing's background…"
