"How dare you gather a crowd to cause trouble and obstruct the Overseer's soldiers from capturing a criminal. Today, none of you can leave!”
Cao Wenzhao wiped the blood off his face, a cruel glint in his eyes. Ever since he had put down Xu Hongru's rebellion, it had been a long time since he had used his broadsword!
Today, you forced me!
"Capital Zhao Prefecture Army, listen up! Kill!"
Another row of bright bayonet was swung over, and a few thugs who could not dodge in time were instantly stabbed into bloody holes. The thugs took another step back, and some timid ones were ready to escape.
"Arrow team, shoot them! Hurry up, kill one of them and I'll reward you with five hundred taels of silver!”
Boss Jia shouted at the top of his lungs. He didn't know that his father-in-law, his biggest backer, had been arrested yesterday and was ready to be escorted to the capital to be executed after autumn!
There would definitely be brave men under the heavy reward. When they heard the five hundred taels of silver reward, the thugs rushed forward and fought with the capital government army!
"How refreshing!" Cao Wenzhao stabbed two thugs to death with his spear, wiping away the blood as he laughed loudly!
In the blink of an eye, the entrance of the grain store was filled with corpses!
However, the thugs continued to charge forward. Seeing that Cao Wenzhao could not hold on any longer, the sound of orderly footsteps came from the distance!
The eight hundred soldiers of the capital prefecture marched forward in an orderly fashion from the north and south, blocking the thugs in the alley.
"Everyone, get ready to fire!"
The Jiang-Zhe overseer, Great Ming Xin Prince Zhu Youjian raised the red flag high and gave the order!
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound of gunfire was like thunder!
The thugs who were putting up a desperate fight were knocked to the ground one by one like straws!
When the gunshots stopped, the soldiers of the capital prefecture fixed their bayonet and walked to the pile of corpses. When they saw someone struggling, they raised their bayonet and sent him to the Western Paradise.
As for Jia Liangchen, he was so scared that he peed his pants. He was like a squirming worm, desperately crawling out.
"Capture him and bring him to the entrance of the government office!”
Zhu Youjian stepped on Jia Liangchen's neck as if he was stepping on the back of a fat pig and issued an order!
The small square at the entrance of the government office was already filled with people. Countless commoners stretched their necks and raised their feet to watch the new Jiangzhe Overseer judge a tyrant in the city.
"How dare you, Jia Liangchen! You colluded with the Governor of Bianjing, Wang Qia, to raise the price of grain. You sold inferior goods at a low price and sold them at a high price. Your crimes are obvious. Now, you dare to collude with bandits to kill an official of the imperial court. All of these are capital crimes. What else do you have to say?”
"I, I am the son-in-law of the magistrate and the godson of Eunuch Wei and Madam Feng Sheng. Do you dare to kill me?”Who knew that Jia Liangchen would not repent in the face of his crimes and even dared to speak up!
"I'm the younger brother of His Majesty, Prince Xin. How can a mere grain merchant like you threaten me?”Zhu Youxiao was not angry. Instead, he laughed." You're not even afraid of me. It seems that you've been running amok in Hangzhou for a long time. My fellow villagers, if anyone has been harmed by Jia Liangchen, please stand up and correct him. I'll make the decision for you!”
The noisy crowd instantly quieted down. Everyone shut their mouths and did not dare to speak.
"Your Highness, look, this is what the people want! Although my family is wealthy, I have studied the Confucian classics for a few days. I dare not say that I practice the way of the saints. I also provide porridge in times of disaster, wear clothes in times of cold, and cherish the elderly and the poor. Everyone in the city is grateful…"
Seeing that no one dared to point it out, Jia Liangchen straightened his neck and looked smug.
"Alright, I didn't expect a profiteer like you to be a kind and virtuous gentleman!”Zhu Youjian smiled coldly." Have you calculated how much fertile land you and your father-in-law, Wang Qia, seized around Hangzhou? How many people were forced by you to have their families broken and their families torn apart? How many farmers who lost their land hanged themselves in despair? You..."
A snow-white shadow suddenly flashed through the crowd. She wore a bamboo hat and a veil over her face. She quietly listened to Zhu Youjian accuse Jia Liangchen. Suddenly, she felt a knot in her heart, and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Sir, you have to have real evidence. If you spread rumors and frame a good person, this commoner would rather die than accept it!”
Jia Liangchen was 180 percent confident. He had been in Bianjing for many years and had countless thugs under him. He was tyrannical every day. No one in the city dared to say no!
Don't think that I've been captured by you today. If you can't convict me, don't blame me for being ruthless!
I don't care if you're a vassal king or a supervisor. You'd better kill me today. Otherwise, when I settle accounts later, I'll kill even the emperor!
"Everyone, this thief is rich and heartless. Don't you feel any resentment? Today, as long as someone has concrete evidence to point out this traitor, the Overseer will definitely punish him according to the law!”
Seeing that the commoners feared Jia Liangchen like a tiger, Li Yan stood up, cleared his throat and shouted.
But…
The commoners looked at Jia Liangchen with eyes that were about to spit fire. This pig-like fool had used his wealth and power to run amok in Bianjing for many years. Any woman who was slightly beautiful had been kidnapped by him to become a concubine. He also forcefully occupied fertile land and bought low and sold high. Who knew how many families he had harmed!
However, this thief had countless henchmen. As long as anyone in the city was dissatisfied with him, the lighter ones would break their legs, and the more serious ones would be strangled to death. Even if the people were full of resentment, who would dare to say a word!
"I'll do it!" A crisp voice came from the crowd. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young girl dressed in pure white. She wore a bamboo hat and a light veil over her face. Her appearance could not be underestimated.
