Ouchi Cat Controlling, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!
Chapter 662: Receiving the Imperial Order
After a while of fuss, everyone had no objection to Princess Ankang's proposal.
The eunuchs in colorful clothes immediately took action and tied up the hands and feet of Ye Xiao and his accomplices, and then threw them onto the horse.
Fortunately, they were riding two people and had an empty fast horse, otherwise it would have been difficult to take so many people on the road together.
Then, they continued to Lantian County.
An hour later, the team arrived at Lantian County.
Lantian County had previously received notice of the impending arrival of the southern patrol team, so it responded immediately.
However, the report they received was not that the royal chariot had arrived, but that a group of noble people had arrived, and a group of prisoners had also been captured. Among them seemed to be the former county lieutenant Ye Xiao, who escaped from prison last year.
When Fang Datong, the magistrate of Lantian County, got the news, he didn't think much about it and planned to go and greet the noble man first.
When he and his men had just left the county government office, they happened to run into the team of Princess Ankang and others.
They passed through Lantian County and attracted the attention of many people.
Although the common people were curious about who was coming, they did not dare to inquire rashly and just took a few glances from a distance.
Seeing that the noble man had arrived in front of the county government office, Fang Datong hurriedly led people forward to salute.
The boys and girls in front of him had extraordinary temperaments, and they were followed by a team of powerful guards. No matter what he thought, they were all beings he couldn't afford to offend.
"Fang Datong, the magistrate of Xialantian County, who is he?"
No one paid attention to Fang Datong. After all, there was nothing to say to a dying man.
Only the third prince and the eighth prince looked at Fang Datong with a somewhat cold gaze.
Princess Ankang rode her horse to the front of the team, then held up the imperial edict in her hand and said loudly:
"I am the thirteenth princess of Daxing, Li Ankang."
"Lantian County Magistrate Fang Datong accepted the order!"
When Fang Datong and the county officials behind him saw such a battle, they immediately knelt down to receive the order.
Seeing everyone kneeling down, Princess Ankang began to convey her will.
"Fang Datong, the magistrate of Lantian County, colluded with the local gentry and local tyrants in the county during his tenure, oppressed good people, seized fields, embezzled countless taxes and money, and committed several murders. His crimes were heinous and he was punished according to law."
"Specially made for the Southern Tour, the execution will be carried out immediately after the decree is conveyed."
"The remaining accomplices will all be punished with an additional one level of crime and be dealt with according to law."
"Fang Datong, why don't you thank me for accepting the order?"
Princess Ankang finished reciting the imperial edict and handed it to Manager Shang beside her.
Manager Shang got off his horse and held the imperial edict in his hands before delivering it to Fang Datong.
"Master Fang, what are you waiting for?"
Manager Shang's words made Fang Datong feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He knelt on the ground, and within a moment, the cold sweat on his body had soaked his clothes.
Fang Datong looked at the pale-faced, beardless old man who handed the imperial edict to him, and immediately saw that this man was from the Imperial Household, and was most likely from the legendary Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He swallowed, never expecting that this southern tour would be so deadly.
Fang Datong looked at Princess Ankang, who was riding a horse with a cold face after reciting the imperial edict, and asked cautiously:
"This, this is your Royal Highness the Princess."
"Is there something wrong?"
Princess Ankang immediately yelled and scolded: "With the imperial decree now, how can I allow you to play tricks on me?"
"Why don't you accept the order quickly?"
Fang Datong suddenly felt out of breath.
"Accept the order?"
"Wouldn't it be doomed if you accept the decree?"
"But disobeying the order will lead to death. Isn't this blocking both sides?"
Fang Datong was thinking in his heart, and his body was shaking uncontrollably as drops of cold sweat hit the ground.
The officials kneeling behind him also looked at each other in confusion, wondering how things had progressed to the point where they were about to lose their heads.
"Your Highness, have you been deceived by Ye Xiao? He is a wanted fugitive. You must not be deceived by him!"
The sharp-eyed officials saw Ye Xiao tied to the horse and shouted hurriedly as if they had found a life-saving straw.
"quiet!"
Manager Shang gave a cold shout and immediately frightened these corrupt officials so much that they did not dare to move.
If they hadn't known how powerful the Ministry of Internal Affairs was, they would have started to resist by now, and how could they still kneel so obediently.
Manager Shang's shout spread far and wide, throughout Lantian County.
"What sound?"
"It seems like something happened at the county government."
"What can happen to the county government? Stay away from that ghost place."
"A group of people came from outside the city just now. They look very unusual. They seem to be noble people."
"Yes, I saw that they immediately kidnapped a group of people, including Lieutenant Ye County."
"Ye Xiao? That bastard still dares to come back, if he hadn't lost his tax money last year..."
"Stop talking. If Lieutenant Ye County hadn't had his brother to rob the prison, he would have died a long time ago. When he was here before, those officials were more restrained, but look at this winter..."
"A bunch of dog officers who kill a thousand people!"
"Shh, don't hurt us if you want to die."
The people who were talking about it were about to disperse when suddenly someone ran over from the corner of the street and shouted:
"You guys, go to the county government office and have a look!"
"A princess has come and wants to kill the county magistrate!"
"The emperor's personal decree!"
The common people who were about to disperse from their respective work were stunned when they heard this, then silently put down their work and rushed towards the county government office.
It is human nature to watch the excitement, especially the excitement that is really related to the big guys.
In a short time, a group of people gathered in three circles inside and outside the county government office, almost all the people of Lantian County gathered together.
Princess Ankang saw that Fang Datong was delaying in accepting the order and had no intention of urging it.
She just wanted the people of Lantian County to come and take a look.
Emperor Yongyuan killed corrupt officials and punished local officials in Daxing in order to reunite the people and prevent them from being completely disappointed with the court.
In this case, these corrupt officials are bound to die anyway, but it is also a good thing to be able to use all their remaining energy when they die.
When enough people gathered, Princess Ankang spoke:
"This group of blind robbers was caught by us. The leader claimed that he was a former county captain of Lantian County, and he became a bandit after being framed by villains in order to stop the southern patrol team and file a complaint. "
"Ye Xiao said that he was ordered to escort the tax bank last year, but he was drugged and drugged by the county magistrate Fang Datong the day before, and then he was imprisoned for dereliction of duty."
Princess Ankang spoke loudly so that the people who came to watch the excitement could hear clearly.
The people of Lantian County are all involved. How can they still not know who Ye Xiao is?
Even if it was not clear before, it should be clear after Ye Xiao escaped from prison and left Lantian County.
Who knows better than themselves whether they are better off or worse off.
The people were speechless about what Princess Ankang said.
At first, they didn't say a word for Ye Xiao, and instead blamed him for the second tax collection.
But that’s just the way the people are, and they know too little of the truth.
No matter what the county government announces, they can only believe it, and they will always be hindsight.
The Lantian County officials were about to defend themselves, but Princess Ankang took the lead and spoke:
"Of course, these have nothing to do with your charges."
"Your crimes are clearly stated in Father's decree. Taxation is nothing more than a trivial matter."
"I am only responsible for delivering the decree, and then taking your heads back for restoration."
The people couldn't help but burst into an uproar after hearing Princess Ankang's domineering speech.
In other words, the county magistrate and the others are dead today!
Fang Datong also opened his mouth in shock.
The officials behind him began to shout sadly:
"It's unfair, it's unfair!"
"Please, Your Highness the Princess, be aware of this and give us justice!"
"..."
Manager Shang did not stop their noise this time, and Princess Ankang just looked at them coldly.
The people of Lantian County suddenly felt unreal when they saw the usually arrogant officials kneeling on the ground and crying out for injustice.
But then, an unknown fire surged into my heart.
"It's no use to accuse you!"
"There's no bullshit justice in you!"
In the crowd, I don’t know who shouted these two words first.
Princess Ankang was stunned and lowered her head to look at Li Xuan.
As a result, Li Xuan was in Princess Ankang's arms, with his little head exposed and his big innocent eyes blinking.
"It's not me who shouted this time." Li Xuan thought to himself.
He didn't know the situation in Lantian County, and there was no need to bother with the holy plan.
But even he didn't expect that the people of Lantian County were quite courageous.
At least they dared to come out and shout twice.
Previously, the people of Jinghou County waited until the heads of corrupt officials fell to the ground before they dared to cheer.
As someone shouted, the people became more and more courageous, and the excuses of Fang Datong and others were soon drowned in the curses of the people.
Some of them gave specific examples one after another, which made this group of corrupt officials even more heartbroken.
If Princess Ankang and others hadn't been there, they would have gotten up long ago and chopped down these unruly people with knives.
But at this moment, they don't even have the courage to mobilize their men.
The official officers and garrison troops in Lantian County together may not be able to harm these colorful eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
They know very well that these eunuchs in colorful clothes are all top-notch masters in the world. Anyone who comes to their county is a dragon.
There were two entire groups of dragons crossing the river, how could they dare to resist.
At this time, Manager Shang took out an account book from his arms and opened two pages in front of Fang Datong.
"Master Fang, you are hopeless."
"But your family might be able to be saved."
"I just need you to sign it before you die."
Manager Shang said softly to Fang Datong.
Fang Datong glanced at the account book in front of him and immediately stared.
This actually contains the details of his filial piety to superior officials, and even important officials in the court were recorded.
But Fang Datong saw that there was a discrepancy between the accounts above and the actual situation.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has some evidence, but it is not comprehensive, so it has this forged account book.
But as long as Fang Datong signs and pledges his signature, the fake will become real.
Fang Datong swallowed, knowing that it was time to make a decision.
But after he pondered for a moment, he raised his hands tremblingly and took the imperial edict from Manager Shang's other hand.
"The guilty minister Fang Datong received the order——"
"Long live my emperor."
Fang Datong accepted the order to thank him and kowtowed heavily on the ground.
The other officials kneeling behind him were horrified at the sight.
Fang Datong admitted his crime, and they had to suffer the same fate.
When Princess Ankang read out the imperial edict, she made it clear that all accomplices will be punished by one level.
Their crimes were enough to make them die several times, and they might even implicate their families.
"Fang Datong, you are crazy!"
Manager Shang saw that Fang Datong had made his choice and stopped entangled.
He put away the account book, then stepped back two steps, and glanced at the officials kneeling on the ground. Seeing that everyone was there, he announced:
"All officials present will be beheaded and executed immediately."
As soon as Shang Zongguan finished speaking, several eunuchs in flowery clothes rushed over like wolves and tigers, and were about to start the execution.
When the people saw this scene, they all shut their mouths and held their breath.
But at this moment, Princess Ankang suddenly raised her hand to stop them:
"Wait!"
The eunuchs in flowery clothes had already raised their steel knives and were ready to execute, but they were stopped by Princess Ankang.
Seeing this scene, all the other princes and princesses frowned.
"Why is the Ministry of Internal Affairs so obedient to Ankang?"
You know, the Ministry of Internal Affairs theoretically only obeys the orders of Emperor Yongyuan.
Although these royal descendants are of noble status, they can only let the Ministry of Internal Affairs be polite to them, but cannot command them.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs can justifiably refuse to execute their orders.
But now they saw that the flower-dressed eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs subconsciously followed the orders of Princess Ankang, which surprised them.
Only the Eighth Prince was slightly less surprised.
He knew better than anyone else how the Ministry of Internal Affairs cared for Princess Ankang and Jingyang Palace.
But even he did not expect that Princess Ankang could let the flower-dressed eunuchs give orders.
After Princess Ankang called a halt, she pointed at Ye Xiao who was tied to a horse and said:
"Let him execute the sentence."
Ye Xiao was stunned at first, but when he saw Princess Ankang suddenly pointed at him and gave him such a task, he was overjoyed and deeply moved.
He understood that Princess Ankang believed in him and gave him a chance to take revenge.
Shang Zongguan nodded slightly, and immediately a flower-dressed eunuch came forward to untie Ye Xiao, took him to Fang Datong, and handed him a flower-dressed eunuch's standard steel knife.
Ye Xiao held the steel knife flashing with cold light, looked at the enemy kneeling in front of him, and couldn't help wondering if this day was his dream.
When Fang Datong saw that it was Ye Xiao, he just lowered his head and closed his eyes to wait for death.
"Fang Datong, when you framed me, did you ever think that there would be such a day?" Ye Xiao asked.
"Winners are kings and losers are bandits, there is no point in talking too much."
Fang Datong had no hope of living, and he spoke freely.
"I'll give you a piece of advice. If you can survive this time, resign from your official position and join the army."
"Officialdom is not suitable for you."
Fang Datong said casually with his eyes closed.
At this time, Ye Xiao put the steel knife on it, then slowly raised it, and finally said to Fang Datong:
"Maybe I don't know how to be an official, but I know that what the people need is a good official, not a corrupt official like you!"
Swish——
The steel knife cut through Fang Datong's neck without any hindrance, and the next moment the huge head rolled to the ground with a column of blood.
Bang.
Fang Datong's body collapsed, and in an instant it was dyed red all over the ground.
Feeling the warmth gradually soaking under their knees, the remaining corrupt officials immediately collapsed and cried.
"Mercy, mercy!"
"I have evidence to report others, I only ask Your Highness to spare my life."
Swish, swish, swish...
Ye Xiao was like a tireless lumberjack, chopping down the bodies of corrupt officials one after another.
The ground became brighter and brighter, and Ye Xiao stepped on it, spreading ripples.
Until the last head rolled down, the people who had been silent for a long time cheered loudly:
"Good, a good death!"
This good, hearty, hysterical.
