I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 112: The Law is No Trifle

[Tsk tsk, what a sin! If Li Wangyuan is the culprit, then Li Zhazha and the housekeeper are the biggest accomplices. With so many lives lost, they should at least be sentenced to death, right? ]

Chu Liuzheng felt that it was too light a punishment for Li Wangyuan to be stabbed thirteen times by the werewolf sister. The injuries suffered by those people he killed combined were enough to cause him to be tortured to death several times.

[It is said that if a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. Doesn't Li Zhazha think that his stupid son did the right thing? Then he should bear the consequences for his stupid son. It would be the same if he tortured this scumbag to death! ]

Xiao Jingfan frowned, seriously considering the possibility of "Ling Chi".

Since we want to set a good example for filing a complaint, then we naturally want the people to applaud and cheer loudly after learning the whole story, and the punishment should also have a certain deterrent effect on those who commit similar acts...

Dong Yi stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, Li Youcai protected his son and took human life lightly, bribed officials to cover up his crimes, and ordered people to beat Zhao Shan and his wife to death. His behavior is really abominable, and he has no remorse. I beg Your Majesty to severely punish this evildoer to serve as a warning to others!"

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!" Li Youcai didn't want to die, he kowtowed repeatedly and shouted, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me, please have mercy on me! I will never dare to do it again!"

[Bah! You scum, you are afraid of death? You just tried to deceive me, try to deceive me again!]

Xiao Jingfan touched the Bodhi beads on his wrist.

If this woman hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that the beast kneeling there, who looked like a human but was not a human, was indeed deceiving the king.

If you count deceiving the emperor...

Xiao Jingfan's expression turned cold. "Li Youcai deceived the emperor, bribed officials, adopted a son but did not teach him, and indulged his son to repeatedly commit murders. He is also a man of many evil deeds. He and his accomplices are ordered to wear heavy shackles and parade through the streets of the city for public display. After the parade, Li Youcai will be immediately tortured to death, and his accomplices will be beheaded. Their property will be confiscated, and the victims will be compensated according to the law."

Lingchi!!
Li Youcai's eyes widened in horror, and he was about to shout to plead for mercy, but the Jinyiwei came forward, gagged him, and dragged him away, and immediately paraded him through the streets in shackles.

Seeing Li Youcai being forcibly dragged away by the Jinyiwei, the butler and three servants trembled together. The butler even wet his pants out of fear, but he was unable to resist and was dragged away by the Jinyiwei.

Xiao Jingfan looked at Dong Yi and said, "I will leave the investigation of the Li Mansion to you. Anyone who commits crimes will be severely punished according to the law, and no one will be let off!"

"I obey your command!" Dong Yi bowed and accepted the order. At Xiao Jingfan's signal, he took his leave and led his men to Li's mansion to investigate and arrest the person.

Qiu and the others stared blankly at Li Youcai and the others being dragged away, and at Dong Yi walking away quickly. It took them a long while to realize that His Majesty had really made the decision for them. Li Youcai, the unscrupulous beast, was going to be tortured to death! The accomplices of the Li family were also going to be punished!

God has eyes!!

"Long live His Majesty!" Zhao Yue was so excited that she bowed her head. Unlike before when she had to bow because of his power, this time she bowed willingly.

Qiu and the others also reacted and hurriedly bowed down, shouting, "Long live His Majesty!"

Others chimed in: "Long live, long live, long live!"

Xiao Jingfan's brows relaxed when he heard this. Just when his mood improved a little, Chu Liuzheng's voice suddenly rang out.

[Alas, if the tyrant knew that the reason why Han Cunzhong simply confessed was because he was afraid that a thorough investigation would lead to the discovery of something fishy and involving himself in a fatal incident, he would probably be so happy that he would vomit three liters of blood.]

Xiao Jingfan:?

He suppressed his joy and carefully pushed the teacup further away, while letting everyone stand up and adjust their breathing.

When he had made all the preparations to ensure that he would not be angry to death no matter what he heard, Chu Liuzheng's voice disappeared again.

"..."

Xiao Jingfan's temples twitched twice, and he remained alert while dealing with the follow-up.

First, Qiu and others arranged for the Jinyiwei to take the person away to record a statement, and then send him back. Then there was Zhao Yue. Although she was avenging her parents, she still killed someone. After considering the situation, Xiao Jingfan did not let her pay for her life, but sentenced her to thirty strokes of the cane and two years of imprisonment.

Although the prison sentence was lighter than exile, it still required two years of hard labor. Yu Zhui was reluctant to let her sister suffer any more, so she knelt down on her knees, bending her knees despite Zhao Yue's dissuasion.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report this. As the eldest sister, I entered the palace when I was young. I never served my parents and never taught my younger sister to fulfill her responsibilities. Now Xiaoyue has suffered a lot to redress the grievances of her parents. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to take their place, fulfill my responsibilities as the eldest sister, and repay my parents' kindness."

She bowed down, touching the ground with her forehead, "I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me!"

"Your Majesty, this is none of my fault. I was the one who killed someone, and I am willing to be punished."

How could Zhao Yue let her own sister take the punishment on her behalf?
Although my elder sister did not serve my parents and they did not teach me much, she sold herself into the palace so that her family could survive, and she often sent some money home to help with the family's support. How could she not have fulfilled her responsibilities?

Everyone is responsible for their own actions, and she doesn't want such a good sister to suffer for her.

Both of them knelt in front of Xiao Jingfan and rushed to receive punishment.

Everyone turned to look at Xiao Jingfan, wanting to hear what the young emperor would say.

Xiao Jingfan narrowed his narrow eyes, his face as cold as the ice outside: "I have considered that there are reasons for this, and I have already shown leniency outside the law, but you want to push it further?"

Yu Zhui was startled and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I just..."

"You just feel bad for your sister?" Xiao Jingfan sneered, "You feel bad today, he feels bad tomorrow. Everyone has private feelings, everyone has reasons. Doesn't that mean all murderers can find someone to replace them and escape punishment? Then what's the point of rules? What's the point of laws?"

When he said the last sentence, he was really angry. Except for the envoy, everyone knelt down in fear.

Chu Liuzheng tried hard to keep her balance but still staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Xiao Anzi was quick to support her elbow from behind.

[Oh~Eunuch An is a good man. His knees hurt because he knelt too fast. The tyrant has such an unpredictable temper. We are just sisters with deep feelings and didn't think too much. Is it necessary for him to look like he wants to kill two people to vent his anger? Do you think everyone can be like the emperor and everything can be involved in state affairs? ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

His anger subsided a little. He glanced at the people kneeling on the ground. Although his expression was still stern, his tone had warmed up a little. "The law is not a joke. I hope you all remember it in your heart."

Everyone: "We will obey the command of the Holy Spirit."

"Stand up." Xiao Jingfan waved his hand, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Xiao Anzi reaching out to help Chu Liuzheng up.

The two sisters Yuzhui were so frightened by what had just happened that they no longer dared to rush to be punished.

Zhao Yue didn't expect the emperor to change his face so quickly. No wonder they say serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. It is not easy for a sister to serve a tiger.

The Yulin Guards came forward to take Zhao Yue away to be beaten with a stick. Yuzhui was worried, but she didn't dare to leave her post and follow them without Xiao Jingfan's order. She could only return to Chu Liuzheng's side and stand there, with her head down and not saying a word.

Chu Liuzheng tilted his head to look at her, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but this was not the place to talk.

Little did she know that when she tilted her head to look at the jade pendant, Xiao Jingfan was also secretly glancing at her.

The next step is to deal with Han Cunzhong. This woman quickly said something that could make him vomit three liters of blood!
Treason? Usurpation? Or treason?

No matter what it is, Xiao Jingfan feels that after several temperings, he can withstand it and keep steady.

So...damn woman, just tell me now! !
