Listen to my heart in the morning and eat melons in the afternoon.

Tian Xiaoxiao returned home, and Daju also meowed and left the government office.

The yamen runners came to work one after another.

Tian Xingjian asked the yamen runners to watch over Xu Wenjie, and he went home to eat two bowls of rice before going to the court.

When Tian Xingjian arrived at the court, he first looked at the chairs and finally figured out something.

Have the chair chopped up.

As a result, not only the evidence of Xu Wenjie's guilt was uncovered, but also a lot of banknotes.

Tian Xingjian was dumbfounded. Openly, he went to Shengjing to be the prefect, but secretly, how come he went to Shengjing to make a fortune?

The denominations of the silver notes were not large, each was one thousand taels, and they belonged to various money houses. The key point was that these money houses were not in Shengjing.

How could Song Yuanzhi visit so many places while in office?

Tian Xingjian forgot that Song Yuanzhi had a younger brother, Song Yuansi.

He got up too early and his head was still a little fuzzy. It took Tian Xingjian a while to remember Song Yuansi.

Then this makes sense. Song Yuansi was in Shengjing, and Song Yuanzhi deposited money in banks all over the country.

Thinking about how hard the yamen runners work, I can just register the money and distribute it to them.

But how do the yamen runners get the money?

Forget it, let’s wait for Zhan Qingyang to come back and let him check these banks first.

Among a pile of banknotes, Tian Xingjian found evidence of Xu Wenjie's crime.

Because the chair was broken, the crowd that came to watch today saw Tian Xingjian handling the case while standing.

Some onlookers felt that the man and woman kneeling in the court looked familiar.

They started discussing it.

Passerby A: "The kneeling man is Song Yuanzhi's mentor. He is said to be very smart and has accomplished many great things for Song Yuanzhi."

Passerby B: "It was his idea to build several Buddhist temples in Shengjing City. He asked the emperor for money to build them, saying that it was to pray for His Majesty the Emperor and wish him a long life."

Passerby C: "He also proposed to build the most prosperous singing and dancing house in Shengjing, saying that it was to provide a place for men to have fun after dinner. I went there once, and even the floor was paved with gold bricks. It was a den of money. I don't know who pocketed the revenue?"

Tian Xiaoxiao had just finished her meal and came to watch Tian Xingjian try a case.

She was enjoying the melon so much that she would like to go and see this luxurious place with golden bricks on the floor if she had the chance.

Passerby Ding: "There are several bookstores in Shengjing. They were also built under his order, right? Later, they became a good place for officials to find young prostitutes."

Tian Xiaoxiao listened and said “tsk tsk tsk”.

Seeing that Tian Xiaoxiao was squatting there with difficulty, Ade brought her a small chair to sit on and watch.

Tian Xingjian officially opened the court to try the case.

First, make public the crime of Qingmei and Xu Wenjie trying to harm Lin Yunzhi.

Then he read again the evidence of Xu Wenjie's guilt written by Song Yuanzhi.

The above records all the murders and robberies that Xu Wenjie committed after he arrived in Shengjing City and became a disciple of Song Yuanzhi.

Everyone present gasped when they heard this.

I never thought that Master Xu was such a cruel and ruthless person before. It seems that he is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and everyone in Shengjing City has been deceived by him.

Immediately, Tian Xingjian had Xu Wenjie's home sealed off and countless gold, silver and treasures were seized. All of them were registered, put into a warehouse and guarded by a special person.

The dance hall was then closed down.

After everything is clarified and rectified, it will be reopened.

Several bookstores closed permanently that day.

All the brothels were also closed down.

The government will not pursue the matter of homosexuality, but starting from today, in Shengjing City, no brothels are allowed to be opened and no gay love is allowed to be promoted.

The evidence of Xu Wenjie's guilt is irrefutable, and Qingmei attempted to murder the official's wife, so both should be executed according to the law.

Qingmei was beheaded on the spot, and Xu Wenjie was executed by slow slicing.

Tian Xiaoxiao sighed: In ancient times, the officials had the power of life and death, unlike in her time, the death penalty was gradually abolished and those who committed the most heinous crimes would not be sentenced to immediate execution.

Tian Xiaoxiao still remembers several murderers who lived for several more years before being executed.

Some people were sentenced to suspended death sentences, but their sentences were later reduced.

After Xu Wenjie was sentenced, some people asked why Song Yuansi had not been sentenced yet? It seemed that there were three other corrupt officials who had not been sentenced to death.

Tian Xingjian said that when Song Yuanzhi was escorted to Shengjing City tomorrow, he would be sentenced to death by chariot dismemberment.

The crowd cheered.

After leaving the yamen, Tian Xingjian said he wanted to go to Nanwu Temple outside the city and take Tian Xiaoxiao with him. Ade volunteered to go too, but Lin Yunzhi was not allowed because she was pregnant.

Tian Lele had no classes at the girls' school today, so she shamelessly followed her father to investigate a case.

In the past, Tian Lele would never have been interested in handling cases.

Now, in order to listen to Tian Xiaoxiao's voice, he has cultivated an interest in watching Tian Xingjian handle cases.

Several yamen runners also actively participated, saying that Lord Tian would definitely need them when he arrived at the temple, and they would go to help.

A few constables also joined in the fun.

Finally, a group of forty people went to the temples that the masses had mentioned.

The first temple, Namo Temple.

As soon as we arrived at the temple gate, the big orange cat started meowing non-stop.

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, why does this temple look so strange? ]

Daju: [This temple was built according to the specifications of the imperial palace.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [This way they can be exempted from the crime. Otherwise, if they build the imperial palace without permission, the whole family will be executed. We had this kind of situation in our previous life.]

Daju: [Everything inside is arranged according to the style of the imperial palace. I don’t know if your father has ever been to the imperial palace. If he has, he will know it once he goes in.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Strange, this temple doesn't look very popular! How did it manage to remain popular for so long?]

Daju: [I'm afraid this is a place where someone who wants to be an emperor hangs out. There are actually many women kept in it, three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines! ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [We’ll follow Daddy in and take a look later.]

Hearing the two people's thoughts, everyone was shocked.

They all knew about this temple, but none of them had ever been there.

I don't know why, but I'm turned away every time I come.

It seems that this is the reason.

When Tian Xingjian showed his token and said he wanted to enter the temple to investigate the case, he was refused.

The monk guarding the gate said that this was the territory of an important figure in the capital and that ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

Tian Xingjian once again emphasized that he was the governor of Shengjing and he had the right to enter any area of ​​Shengjing.

The gatekeeper monk said impatiently: "You are just the governor of Shengjing. This is the territory of the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince! The legitimate son of the current queen!"

Tian Lele said to Tian Xiaoxiao: "Sister, this guard dog looks so powerful. It relies on the power of its master. Isn't it just a lapdog?"

Tian Xiaoxiao: "Sister, aren't you afraid that he will get angry and draw his sword?"

Tian Lele: "Monks cannot kill!"

Tian Xiaoxiao: "What if they are not monks?"

Tian Lele: "Fake monk? Are there fake monks?"

Tian Xingjian took out another token, but the monk guarding the gate still refused to let him in.
