After Fang Yun finished speaking, he immediately sent a letter to the Punishment Hall.
Many officials showed some fear. As expected of Mad Monarch Fang Zhenguo. He actually went to the Punishment Hall directly. This was the most terrifying counterattack.
Shen Ren said with a guilty conscience, "County Magistrate, this matter should be investigated by the Ministry of Justice. Isn't it inappropriate to directly use the Punishment Hall?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. If you want to harm my family, then you should be prepared to have your entire family buried with you! "Fang Yun's face was expressionless.
Shen Ren shook his head slightly and said, "Outsiders say that you are a cruel official. I didn't believe it. Now that I see it with my own eyes, I believe it. Your family is safe and sound. You actually want to kill someone else's entire family. This goes against the principles of justice! "
"Registrar Shen must be joking. If I were only a Grand Scholar, then I would naturally be responsible for every injustice. Whoever wants to kill me will pay with their life. However, I am Xusheng! Murdering Xusheng's family and murdering Xusheng will result in the execution of his entire family. The law clearly states this. Does Registrar Shen think that the Punishment Hall and the Rites Hall are violating the principles of justice? "
"County Magistrate, you are exaggerating. I think that everyone has a compassionate heart. Xusheng should be given a lighter punishment and be educated, "Shen Ming said.
"Alright, there will be no next time. After Registrar Shen's entire family is killed and the murderer is arrested, I will give him a lighter punishment and be educated, "Fang Yundao said.
"Isn't the great Xusheng afraid that the world will laugh at you for saying this?" Shen Ren retorted.
Fang Yun sneered, "If the great Xusheng can't even protect his own woman, then he will be laughed at by the world! Bensei is angry for his woman. He will definitely kill the murderer and his entire family! "
"Well said!" Ao Huang nodded vigorously.
"Ying, ying, ying!" Nunu supported loudly.
Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Yun with eyes full of love. Su Xiaoxiao didn't look at Fang Yun. Instead, she looked at Yang Yuhuan with envy.
The fear in the eyes of many officials deepened. Only Fang Yun would dare to say such a thing in public.
Shen Ren was scared, but he pretended to be tough. "It's pardonable that you want to kill the whole family for Yang Yuhuan. You don't allow others to wear mourning clothes. That's too much! "
Fang Yun revealed a strange smile and said, "I know that Qi Hua has already committed suicide by taking poison. There is no witness to testify and we can't use the Half-saint Wen Baoming. Tell me the truth. Even the Punishment Hall won't be able to trace the source. At most, they can only kill Qi Hua and the two guards' families. However, in less than two months, you will know that the net of heaven grinds slowly but surely. The person who harmed me, Fang Yun, will definitely be avenged! Moreover, that revenge is just the beginning! "
Shen Ren couldn't help but shudder. He had known Fang Yun for a few days, but he had never seen Fang Yun reveal such a cold smile. That smile seemed to have sentenced him to death.
Shen Ren understood that Fang Yun had guessed that the person who could make Yang Yuhuan come unprepared was naturally the person in charge of delivering the order. Then, he would use his official seal to check the room. After discovering that Qi Hua had disappeared, he would use his official seal to search. He was afraid that he would quickly find Qi Hua's corpse.
"The county magistrate is just angry. Since there is nothing else, I will take my leave. "Shen Ren turned and left. His back was drenched in sweat.
"You need to treat your illness." Fang Yun said.
Shen Ming didn't turn his head. "Thank you for your concern."
"After your body is healed, you will supervise the execution with me in a few days!"
Shen Ming's figure shook and he quickly left.
As soon as Shen Ming left, the Punishment Hall officials who secretly protected Fang Yun appeared one after another. They said that they had received the Punishment Hall's order to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Fang Yun expressed his gratitude and went home with his family. Today, he rested for a day and stayed at home to accompany Yang Yuhuan.
In the afternoon, the Punishment Hall officials came to the county government and announced the preliminary investigation results.
The petty official called Qi Hua first forged an official document from Arrester Lu and personally handed it to the two guards guarding the east gate. He asked the two guards to allow Yang Yuhuan and the others to enter. He also said that after the matter was settled, the Left Minister would guarantee the safety of the two guards and give them great benefits. The two guards agreed to cooperate.
After that, Qi Hua returned to the county government and falsely passed on Fang Yun's order. Finally, Qi Hua took poison and committed suicide.
Fang Yun read the document several times and asked the Punishment Hall Jinshi in front of him, "The two guards were not scholars. They didn't know what would happen after the event. It's understandable that they would do such a thing. But that Qi Hua was a scholar. Although he had just entered the receiving and receiving room, with his ability, he must have known that if he did such a thing, the Punishment Hall would execute his entire family. Did he not care about the life and death of his family? "
The Punishment Hall Jinshi said, "That Qi Hua was born from a concubine. That concubine had a grudge with the Qi family's madam. After the concubine died, Qi Hua's status in the family was extremely poor. Although he was a top student, his elder brother had passed the county level examination. Qi Hua was often humiliated when he was a scholar. Even after he became a scholar, he was still belittled by his elder brother. Even his wife was appointed by the Qi family's madam. After investigation, it was found that when he was drunk, he scolded his entire family. "
Fang Yun suddenly asked, "He was transferred to the important receiving and receiving room after I was confirmed to be the acting county magistrate of Ning An County. Whose order was it?"
"A few days before the Snow Plum Literary Conference, the deputy county magistrate Tao Dingnian issued this order. At that time, it wasn't confirmed that you would be the acting county magistrate of Ning An County. "
Fang Yun fell into deep thought. Then he said, "I remember that Qi Hua has a son. Does he not care about the life and death of his son?"
The Punishment Hall Jinshi said, "Sir, Qi Hua and his wife only have one son. However, they have two illegitimate children outside! The two illegitimate children and their mother, who is Qi Hua's mistress, were brought to Gyeongo a month ago. Qi Hua's mistress was taken in as a concubine by a branch family member of the Zong family. The two children changed their surname to Zong! The surname change document was in Qi Hua's mistress's house. The Punishment Hall of Gyeongo has already found it. "
Fang Yun never expected this result.
The surrounding people were also surprised. Ao Huang asked in a low voice, "If the entire family was executed, Qi Hua's mistress and his two illegitimate children should have died. However, now that Qi Hua's mistress has remarried early and the two children have changed their surnames, the Punishment Hall can't kill them? "
"According to the rules, the Punishment Hall can't execute the mother and children." The Punishment Hall Jinshi said.
Fang Yingwu sneered and said disdainfully, "There are many people who have wives and children who leave Jingguo and take root in Gyeongo. The Left Prime Minister is really calculating."
Fang Yun didn't say anything. This matter was obvious. Qi Hua must be a spy cultivated by the Left Prime Minister in Jingguo. Even the family's abuse of Qi Hua was instructed by the Left Prime Minister. Qi Hua's mistress was probably a spy in Gyeongo.
Now everyone knew that Qi Hua was a spy cultivated by the Left Prime Minister. However, Qi Hua was dead and all the evidence was destroyed. Even the Punishment Hall couldn't do anything to the Left Prime Minister.
Fang Yun said slowly, "I request the Punishment Hall to interrogate Qi Hua's mistress and his illegitimate children in Ning An County."
"The request is reasonable. The Punishment Hall of Gyeongo will bring the three of them to Ning An County as soon as possible."
"What about Qi Hua's other family members and the whole family two doors away?"
"They have already been searched!"
