Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 1168
The next afternoon, Dali Temple announced that Zhao Jiaxing's case had been solved.

It was the remnants of the Chu family in Yuecheng who sent people to brutally kill Zhao Jiaxing. Their purpose was to create panic, and then sent people to spread rumors all over the capital, trying to make the public misunderstand that this matter was related to the General's Mansion.

Now, the perpetrators gathered in the farm on the outskirts of the capital have all been arrested and brought to justice, and all of them have confessed to their crimes.

Immediately afterwards, the court also issued an announcement.

The content of the announcement is similar to that given by Dali Temple, but there is one more announcement issued by the imperial court.

There are no rumors about the general's mansion in the market, and those who make false claims will be punished with thirty boards, fined with a thousand taels of silver, or beheaded for public display!
The last item of the announcement, which seems to be extremely protective of the General's Mansion, is actually making enemies for the General's Mansion.

It's so misleading, the regent's power is overwhelming, so this announcement was made.

In fact, General Ouyang was completely unaware of this announcement, it was an order issued by the emperor privately.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor sent out the imperial guards.

It was really discovered by them, a group of people who were secretly discussing this matter.

"Have you read the announcement posted by the court?"

"I see, the last item under the announcement is simply the Overlord Clause!"

"That's right, so afraid of other people's comments, is it because there is no silver 300 taels here?"

"Your guess is quite reasonable."

"Anyway, they are rich and powerful, not to mention Dali Temple, even the emperor will listen to them!"

"How to solve the case is not a word from them!"

"It is said that the Chu family in Yuecheng did it, I am the first to not believe it!"

"Yes! The Chu family in Yuecheng has been wiped out several times. Those who managed to escape their lives were unable to hide. I don't believe they dare to expose themselves on purpose!"

"Your analysis makes sense, but if you want me to doubt the general's mansion and the regent's character, I really can't do it..."

Someone can't listen at all:

"I disagree with your point of view!"

"The regent is not such a person at all, and the general's mansion will never do such a thing!"

Some of these commentators spoke ill of the General's Mansion, but some defended the General's Mansion.

But the Imperial Guards caught everyone, eight people in total.

Use force to force them to confess what was discussed just now.

No matter what kind of content is discussed, it is considered a crime.

According to the confessions of these people, they were classified as felons and minor offenders.

Six of them were minor offenders, including the two who defended the General's Mansion, and two were serious offenders.

In order to make an example, they beat six minor offenders with a board on the spot, and the beaten kept screaming and begging for mercy.

But the torturers turned a deaf ear.

The onlookers dared not show their air. If they said something more, they would end up in the same way.

But they were not allowed to leave, and were forced to watch those gossips being tortured.

After the thirty big boards were beaten, most of the people who were beaten passed out.

Two of the "felons" were to be beheaded for public display.

The two men were so frightened that they urinated on the spot, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, with blood dripping from their foreheads.

"Master, please spare the villain's life, because the villain was confused for a moment and offended the general's mansion, I will never dare again..."

"The villain swears that he will never dare to talk about the general's mansion again..."

"Poor little man, there are old and young, and there are young..."

However, those imperial guards turned a blind eye to their begging for mercy, and still announced that they would be beheaded for public display and executed immediately.

The two men's faces were ashen ashes, and they collapsed to the ground, but they were forcibly dragged up by the guards on the left and right, making them lie face down on the wooden board, so as to cut off their heads.
