Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled
Chapter 518 Great Crime
Seeing Xiao Mo hesitated, Ye Jintang rolled his eyes silently. It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, and Ye Jintang hates these the most.
"Your Majesty, if you are too soft-hearted at this moment, then don't come to me for Jiang Lingshan's affairs in the future. You should handle them yourself."
"She is your only aunt. No minister in the court should dare to touch her for the time being."
"But she is a cancer. You may not feel any pain now, but after some time, when she really causes trouble, it will be too late for you to solve it."
Then Ye Jintang talked about the incident where Jiang Lingshan went to the Jiang family to cause trouble.
"The emperor just conferred the title of First Rank, but it's just a useless title in my aunt's mouth. I heard that my aunt wants to manage the household affairs of Yongding Marquis's Mansion. If Lu Jingxian wasn't so powerful and wanted to make trouble in front of the palace, I'm afraid that Yongding Marquis's Mansion will be named Qu in the future."
"She likes to stir up trouble so much, will the emperor still tolerate it?"
How could Xiao Mo not know the interests involved, but Jiang Lingshan's existence gave him the illusion that his mother was still alive. If she was really dealt with, he would no longer have this thought.
Xiao Mo was in a dilemma, feeling quite conflicted. Ye Jintang on the side did not urge him and let him think slowly.
Time passed minute by minute, and Xiao Mo finally spoke.
"Jintang, why don't we give my aunt a chance first? You can pick two powerful maids from the palace and send them to my aunt's house. Let them discipline my aunt. If my aunt still doesn't listen, I will find a nunnery for her to rest and calm down."
Since Xiao Mo said so, Ye Jintang naturally couldn't object anymore, but she didn't like his idea at all.
How could the two housekeepers possibly control Jiang Lingshan?
From what she saw, Jiang Lingshan would have to go to a nunnery sooner or later, and only the green lamps and ancient Buddhas could make her behave herself.
However, Ye Jintang did not say this immediately. She and Xiao Mo were husband and wife, but there were some things that Xiao Mo needed to see for himself. If she said it out loud, it would affect the relationship between the couple.
"The notice about Li Shaojiang will be posted tomorrow. I hope that after seeing the notice, my aunt will behave herself."
Xiao Mo looked at Ye Jintang helplessly. He now understood that the struggle in the inner house was as troublesome as the struggle in the court. If one was not careful, it would bring disaster upon oneself.
Jiang Lingshan is his aunt. If anyone else dares to get involved in Li Shaojiang's case, the whole family may be convicted.
"Your Majesty, if you get rid of Li Shaojiang, what will you do with the position of Lord of Quyang City?"
"Leave it alone and let the ministers in the court guess slowly. By the time I deal with the second city lord, they will probably react."
Ye Jintang nodded slightly, feeling that it was a very safe approach to do so. If all other city lords were dismissed directly, it would probably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
This method of boiling a frog in warm water may take a while to take effect, but the effect is still very good, at least there are no side effects.
Li Shaojiang was detained in the Ministry of Justice prison and was tried twice, each time with at least four senior officials from the court attending.
Some people wanted to find out something about Li Shaojiang from these officials who were listening in, but after asking them again and again, no one revealed a single word.
The more this happened, the more nervous Li Shaojiang became. They had more or less guessed that Li Shaojiang's arrest was definitely not as simple as running a gambling house.
After half a month of suffering from various speculations, the case of Li Shaojiang finally came to a conclusion.
Early one morning, someone beat a drum to notify the people of the capital that the imperial city gate was open. In front of the notice at the entrance of the imperial city, an official of a high rank read out the ten major crimes of Li Shaojiang. As for running a gambling house, he did not even mention it.
"Li Shaojiang served as the mayor of Quyang City for six years. He embezzled 460 million taels of tax silver, seized 7 mu of farmland from the people, oppressed the people and killed more than innocent people..."
One notice was more than one meter long, which showed how many evil things Li Shaojiang had done in just six years.
In the end, Li Shaojiang was sentenced to immediate execution, and the three clans of the Li family were exiled to Lingnan. All the officials involved in the case would be tried one by one later, and no one would be able to escape.
Li Shaojiang, who always thought he could survive, never expected that his final outcome would be death.
He knelt on the ground and shouted that he was innocent, but was kicked to the ground by Shi Bin who was standing beside him.
"You still dare to cry out for injustice. When I led the troops to confiscate your house, the gold and silver we moved out of your house could not even fill ten carriages. Now tell me, how could a city lord like you make so much in six years? I've been leading troops to fight on the border, and you parasites have been feeding on the flesh and blood of the common people every day. It's a great mercy of the emperor that he didn't execute your entire family."
When the people around heard Shi Bin say this, they all started to curse Li Shaojiang.
Some people even threw what they had in their hands directly at him.
"You have been bullied by us common people, and now you are getting your retribution. In the underworld, the King of Hell will not let you go."
An old woman picked up a walnut from the basket and threw it hard at Li Shaojiang.
She was well prepared, and the green-skinned walnut hit Li Shaojiang right on the forehead with a dull thud. Li Shaojiang's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
"Beat him to death, beat him to death. I moved to the capital from Quyang City. My family used to have 20 acres of good land, but they were all taken away by the ruthless Li Shaojiang."
A man with red eyes stood in the crowd and shouted. He had no walnuts in his hand, but there were pebbles in his wheelbarrow.
The man picked up the largest stone and threw it at Li Shaojiang. As he had been doing physical work for many years, he was very strong. The stone hit Li Shaojiang and he cried out in pain.
"kill him."
Some people followed the man and picked up stones to throw at Li Shaojiang. It would be better to beat this corrupt official who harmed the people to death with stones. It would be too easy for him to be killed with a knife.
Stones were thrown at Li Shaojiang like rain, and the guards next to him quickly stepped back a few steps to avoid being affected.
For a moment, there was chaos at the gate of the imperial city, but Shi Bin did not stop it in time. Instead, he hid nearby and watched the show.
In a carriage not far away, Jiang Lingshan was also forcibly dragged by two matrons to watch the fun.
"Madam, you see, this Li Shaojiang is an unforgivable villain. Any one of the ten crimes can get him killed."
"Madam, you are still begging for mercy for such a wicked man. What do you think the Emperor and the Empress will think?"
Grandma Gu analyzed the current situation to Jiang Lingshan very respectfully, but unfortunately she was unmoved and did not take it seriously at all.
"I don't know what kind of person Li Shaojiang is. He took money from others to help them get rid of disasters, but the Queen lied to me, saying that it was just a small matter in the gambling house. As a result, such a big commotion was caused. I don't know if the person who asked me to do something will come to ask me for money."
Listening to Jiang Lingshan's words, Nanny Gu felt her head buzzing. What kind of mission was the Queen giving her? Why did she feel that if she wasn't careful, she would be killed by Jiang Lingshan, such a fool?
Li Shaojiang's affairs have come to this point, but she is still fearless and worried about her own little money. She really doesn't know how she grew up.
