Chapter 38 Judgment

inner hall.

Shen Changqing sat there for about a quarter of an hour before Hong Chengcheng walked in hastily.

"See your lord!"

When he first saw Shen Changqing, Hong Chengcheng had already bowed and saluted.

Obviously.

He already knew that the other party temporarily acted as the magistrate.

If it is said that the people of Zhenmo Division do not have direct power over the people of the yamen to live and kill, then the magistrate of a city has this right.

Thinking of Shen Changqing's ruthlessness in killing people without blinking an eye.

Hong Cheng did not dare to make any rudeness.

"This is the court's verdict against the Zhao family, take a look at it!"

Shen Changqing put the verdict on the table.

Hong Cheng took a few steps forward, picked up the verdict, and read it seriously.

Gradually.

His face was also solemn.

After reading it all, Hong Cheng put the verdict back respectfully: "Sir, the verdict has already been issued, I don't know what I should do now?"

"What else can be done, collusion with evil spirits is a dead end, and it is normal to have this end."

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, with a sneer on his face.

"Zhao Fang can be the county magistrate, and the Zhao family's power behind it is not small. Right now Lin'an City is only a clan's land of the Zhao family, and there are many branches in other places.

But no matter how many branches it is, it is useless. After the verdict, I believe that the court has already made some moves, and the branches of the Zhao family in various places cannot be spared.

Pass my order to put everyone in the Zhao family, including the servants, into prison! "

"Yes!"

Hong Cheng nodded, and then hesitated again: "There are many Zhao family members, so they may not be willing to go to prison. Although the yamen's yamen have some martial arts, they are a lot 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.

Such a huge yamen, even a Zhao family could not suppress it.

But embarrassment is embarrassing, and what he said is also true.

The yamen is full of dozens of yamen servants, and the Zhao family has as many as one or two hundred servants including servants.

Now the yamen can guard the Zhao family, that's because the people of the Zhao family still retain a little hope and dare not have any head-on conflict with the imperial court.

Now that the verdict has been issued, there is no doubt that the Zhao family has been sentenced to death.

to this point.

The people of the Zhao family will definitely not wait to die.

If a conflict really breaks out, with the help of those yamen people, it is very likely that they will be directly submerged.

Shen Changqing smiled lightly: "What do you mean?"

"I hope that the adults can go to the front, and the Zhao family will not resist. If they resist, they are not qualified to set off a storm in front of the adults!"

Hong Cheng said, another flattery.

"After all, the strength of the adults is the first in Lin'an City."

"Well, I just 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 escaped, he would definitely not escape the guilt.

-

Zhao family.

Since Zhao Fang committed suicide, the atmosphere of the Zhao family has been very solemn.

Anyone can understand.

The charge of colluding with evil spirits, if one is careless, is the fate of looting the family and destroying the family.

But here's the problem.

There are yamen guards outside the Zhao family, and the others have no way to evacuate. Unless they really tear their faces and rush out completely, then the yamen will naturally have no chance of intercepting.

But that way.

It's not just collusion with evil spirits, but also a charge of ignoring the laws of Daqin and intending to rebel.

At that time.

The Zhao family really had no way out.

At this 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 panic.

"There is no movement from the imperial court now, but you all know the consequences of colluding with the evil spirits. Now I am waiting for the sword to hang in the air, and we will see when it falls."

In the first position, a middle-aged man who looked quite scholarly and Confucian, spoke lightly.

His name is Zhao Li, he is a direct descendant of the Zhao family, and he is the same generation as Zhao Fang.

Now Zhao Fang committed suicide.

In the Zhao family, Zhao Li has the highest seniority.

The words fall.

Suddenly someone in the lobby sobbed softly, and it was the female family who was scared to cry.

A young man with a feminine appearance showed a sneer at this time: "The Zhao family has fallen to such a point that it is not because the uncle colluded with the evil spirits. In my opinion, as long as someone takes the blame, the court may not necessarily kill them all!"

"Zhao Mingye, what do you mean!" a young man shouted angrily.

"Zhao Mingtang, what I mean is very clear, the father's debt is repaid, and your father has done something wrong. Naturally, someone should pay for it. It can't be one person's fault. Let the entire Zhao family bear it!"

Zhao Mingye sneered, stood up and spoke loudly.

"Now there are a total of 200 people in the Zhao Family Courtyard. Don't tell me they have to be buried with Uncle, but you, Uncle, did something wrong, and you, a son, cannot escape the responsibility.

It's better for your family to go to the yamen to confess your guilt, maybe the court will give you a light sentence.

Even if you were sentenced to death, you deserved what you deserved, and we are innocent, everyone said right! "

The words fall.

Someone responded immediately.

"Mingye is right, Zhao Mingtang, why should we bear the wrong things your father did!"

"That's right, if you die, you will die. If you have to drag hundreds of Zhao's family, this kind of practice is simply maddening."

"In my opinion, it's better to tie them directly and tie them to the yamen to atone for their sins-"

When a person opened his mouth and looked at Zhao Mingtang and the others, they were already full of gloom and viciousness.

In their opinion, the Zhao family's fate was entirely due to Zhao Fang.

Zhao Mingtang was furious: "When my father was the county magistrate, the Zhao family received a lot of my father's favor. Why, now that they are in trouble, they all want to get rid of their ties—"

"enough!"

Just as everyone was arguing, Zhao Li suddenly snorted and interrupted them directly.

The scene suddenly quieted down.

It's just that many people are unhappy.

Zhao Lihuan glanced at him and said calmly, "Mingye's words are not unreasonable."

"Second uncle—"

Zhao Mingtang's expression changed.

Zhao Li waved his hand and interrupted the other party's words: "But the truth is one thing, the court is not reasonable in everything, and has always colluded with evil spirits, ranging from dispatches to the army, and from the nine clans.

The longer things drag on right now, the worse it is for us.

Lin'an City couldn't stay any longer, there was only a way to leave. "

"Second Uncle means, I'll wait to leave Lin'an City directly?" Zhao Mingye was surprised.

Back out of Lin'an City.

This is no small matter.

If he really wants to do this, the Zhao family will have no turning back and will definitely be wanted by the court.

Zhao Li looked at him, and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.

"The court will not give you a way to survive, then my Zhao family will naturally have to find another way to make a living!"
