Great Wei scholar

Just after sitting down, King Zhenxi wanted to speak.

However, Xu Qingxiao took the lead once again.

"My lord, you are just an observer, but there is one thing, I want to remind you one or two, the person who is the presiding judge this time is my official, not my lord. If I give an order, I hope that what happened just now will not happen." happening."

"So as not to cause trouble to the prince."

Xu Qingxiao reminded me.

At the same time, it is also telling the other party that he is the biggest today, and no one is qualified to give orders for him except His Majesty, otherwise, even if you are a prince, I promise someone will dare to do it.

You do not believe?Think about the fate of King Huaiping.

"Master Xu said this, this king is the royal family, and he is the first to abide by the laws of the Great Wei. As long as Mr. Xu can conduct business properly and does not bend the law for personal gain, this king will never interfere."

King Zhenxi smiled lightly.

The meaning of these words is also very simple. If you let me find no faults, I will not say anything. If you do something wrong, I should say it.

Xu Qingxiao didn't care about King Zhenxi anymore.

Instead, sit down slowly.

The big shots are coming, and it's time for the real show.

"Come on!"

"Shut all the fan merchants out of the hall."

Xu Qingxiao spoke with a cold voice.

"As ordered!"

Qi Qi's voice sounded.

Fan merchants who were detained outside in an instant were sent outside the hall one by one.

After counting, some officials spoke.

"Master Xu, 390 five prisoners have been escorted out of the hall."

The official said so.

And on the long table.

Xu Qingxiao looked at the group of fan merchants, and then spoke again.

"You wait for the merchants, inherit the divine grace of the late emperor, and allow him to do business in the capital, see you poor, and exempt you from taxes."

"But I never thought that you are in my capital, doing evil things, extorting people's money, running amok, ranging from cheating and abducting, to hurting people, and buying and selling by force."

"I have committed a heinous crime, which has made the people panic and uneasy. The crime deserves death. I should be beheaded to show the public. Can you admit it?"

Xu Qingxiao's words were extremely indifferent, and he directly condemned them and wanted to behead them.

Say this.

In an instant, more than 300 fan merchants shouted one after another.

"My lord Xu, where are we doing evil and being domineering? There must be a misunderstanding."

"Yes, yes, there are all misunderstandings here, we are in business, how dare we be so arrogant."

"Master Xu, we are honest in business, how could we do such unconscionable things, I hope you will learn from us."

Fan merchants opened their mouths, they would never admit what they did, and they didn't dare to shout about others, after all, the two heads were still on the ground, and their eyes were still open.

"My lord, although I'm not in the capital, I know a little bit about it. These fan merchants do business according to the rules. Besides, this is the Great Wei. No matter how crazy they are, they don't dare to extort people's money, right?"

"It's not that I'm picking on the thorns. Anything should be based on physical evidence."

King Zhenxi spoke indifferently, arguing for these fan merchants.

"That's fine, since that's the case, pass on the physical evidence."

Xu Qingxiao was also very calm. With just one word, dozens of officials came quickly and placed stacks of receipts on the hall.

At this moment, the people suddenly whispered.

"It turns out that Mr. Xu has guarded against this move a long time ago. No wonder I have been extorted of money these days. People in the government have asked these fan merchants to leave written evidence. So that's the case."

"It's a good receipt. I'd like to see how these fan merchants argue."

"Okay, okay, so it turns out that this is the case. Keep this document, it is ironclad evidence, and none of these fan merchants will want to run away."

The common people whispered, they didn't expect the receipt to be used for this, and felt Xu Qingxiao's precautions.

"June 25th, Yongxingpu, [-] taels of jade."

"June 48th, Changping Pavement, [-] taels of jade."

"June 450th, Changanpu, [-] taels of jade."

Xu Qingxiao randomly picked up a stack, and then read out word by word according to the content on it.

After reading a paragraph, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment sent a few more boxes.

"My lord, in recent months, there have been a total of 430 Fanshang cases taken over by yamen across the capital, including the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and all the files are included."

"The highest involved is 7000 taels of silver, and the lowest is 15 taels of silver. Please check it."

The official of the Ministry of Punishment opened his mouth and told what these boxes contained.

"En." Xu Qingxiao nodded, then turned his gaze to Zhenxi Wang and said, "My lord, does this count as physical evidence?"

Xu Qingxiao asked.

"My lord, take a look."

King Zhenxi was very indifferent. As soon as he spoke, the guards beside him came to Xu Qingxiao, picked up a stack of papers, and handed them to King Zhenxi.

The latter unfolded very calmly and read one by one.

After reading about a dozen of them, King Zhenxi shook his head.

"Master Xu, what's wrong with this document? They are all business documents. How can this be considered physical evidence?"

Zhenxi Wang made it clear that he wanted to favor these fan merchants. He didn't think it was a forced buying and selling, but he thought it was just a normal transaction and it was no big deal.

"Oh!"

"My lord is really joking!"

Xu Qingxiao chuckled, then looked at these Fan Shangdao.

"Where is the shopkeeper of Yongxing shop?"

The voice sounded, and immediately a middle-aged fat man said: "The little one is here."

"I want to ask you, it is recorded in this document that on June 25th, you received [-] taels of silver from Mrs. Li. What happened?"

Xu Qingxiao asked.

The latter lowered his head, but still said very seriously.

"My lord, this is business. I don't know the specific things. There are so many businesses every day. It's impossible for the small ones to remember everything."

The latter didn't dare to elaborate, just wanted to muddle through.

"Business? That's fine, pass it on to Mrs. Li."

Xu Qingxiao continued to speak.

At that moment, a woman walked out quickly and watched Xu Qingxiao kneel down.

"Ms. Li, I have met Master Xu."

"I have seen you adults."

Mrs. Li opened her mouth and bowed respectfully to Xu Qingxiao.

"Don't give a big gift."

"Mr. Li, I want to ask you, what did you buy at Yongxingpu on June [-]?"

Xu Qingxiao's expression was gentle.

"My lord, the women didn't buy anything at Yongxingpu."

Lee replied.

"Didn't buy anything? Then why did he charge you 25 taels of silver?"

Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.

"My lord, the lady was just passing by Yongxing shop that day, and happened to see an emerald green bracelet. The lady was so happy, so she took a second look, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of Yongxing shop took the initiative to hand over the bracelet to you. Give it to the women, saying that this bracelet feels very good to the touch, so you can try wearing it."

"Although the woman knows that this item is expensive, she still can't help but wear it. It's just that the bracelet is too small for the woman to wear, so she gives up after trying it."

"When I was about to leave, I never thought that the shopkeeper of Yongxing shop asked the women to buy the bracelet, and even offered 3000 taels of silver."

"My lord, the women's family is ordinary. Although the husband has a job, his monthly salary is only eight taels of silver. Even if he doesn't eat or drink for ten years, he can't earn 3000 taels of silver."

"Therefore, the woman was arguing with the shopkeeper, who would have thought that the shopkeeper would speak harsh words to the woman, and even fight with each other. In broad daylight, the woman is really not humiliated, so I begged him hard and was willing to give five taels of silver to settle the matter." this matter"

"But the shopkeeper of Yongxing shop is still relentless, and needs at least 50 taels of silver as compensation, thinking that the women have ruined the bracelet and jade."

"Later when the official came, the shopkeeper of Yongxingpu still insulted the women in various ways. Finally, under the adjustment of the elder brother of the official, he gave 25 taels of silver."

"My lord! Women don't care about silver and money, but women are women anyway. In broad daylight, they are humiliated by them in various ways, even stripping women's clothes and slapping women. Such a shame, if not for my husband's persuasion Housewives."

"I'm afraid that the woman would have committed suicide by jumping into the river a long time ago! I've lost all face, woman, I really can't live anymore."

"I still hope that the adults will be the masters of the women!"

Li Shi opened her mouth, and at first she was just talking, but as she got further behind, she became more emotional, and at the end she burst into tears.

For a woman, how important is reputation? She has been married and humiliated in public, even stripped of her clothes. What a shame it is?

If it wasn't for her husband's love, I'm afraid that as an ordinary person, he would live in shame, unable to cherish himself for a long time, and even commit suicide by jumping into the river.

"Don't get excited."

"Today, this official is making decisions for the people."

"Shopkeeper of Yongxing Shop, I ask you, is this true?"

Xu Qingxiao comforted at first, then looked at the shopkeeper of Yongxingpu with incomparably cold eyes, and asked.

"My lord, this bitch is just spreading rumors, how dare I do that, Yongxing shop will never do that, she is lying, my lord, don't be fooled, this bitch passes by my store on weekdays, I have always liked my jadeware."

"I came here to bargain again and again, but my jade is so exquisite that it is impossible to sell it at a low price, but she has a grudge in her heart, and today she is taking the opportunity to take revenge."

"Bitch! You are really cheap!"

The shopkeeper of Yongxingpu explained in every possible way, but he didn't admit this matter at all, and even said dirty words, humiliating the other party with mouthfuls of sluts.

The onlookers clenched their fists one by one, and a fan merchant insulted the women of the Wei Dynasty as bitches. How could they bear such insults.

Snapped!

Gavel slapped.

Xu Qingxiao's eyes were cold.

"How dare you lie in front of me!"

"And it's even more disrespectful. No matter what, this person is a citizen of my Great Wei. If you talk about a bitch, you are not only humiliating her, but also my people of Great Wei."

"Come here, slap your mouth fifty times."

Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth, and with an order, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment stepped forward and grabbed him tightly.

"My lord, my lord, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that, ahhhh!"

Fan Shang wanted to quibble, but was caught by the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and beat his mouth with a wooden token. Every time there was a sound of cracking, the force was extremely strong.

These officials also disliked this person, so the punishment was naturally severe.

"Master Xu."

"Before the matter is investigated clearly, you have passed it a bit, right?"

At this time, King Zhenxi spoke up, wanting to stand up for Fanshang.

"To shut up!"

Xu Qingxiao looked at it coldly, and his eyes fell on King Zhenxi. The two words instantly attracted murderous aura.
