Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 877 Trial
The old man rushed to Mr. Liu, grabbed him by the collar, and said sadly and angrily: "Beast, it was you who killed our daughter! Today you must accompany our daughter's life!"

Mr. Liu's face suddenly changed, and he was shocked. He took a step back, shook his head desperately and denied, "It's not us, you are wrong, we don't know your daughter, this is slander!"

"Slander?!" the old man said frantically: "We saw your son robbing our daughter with our own eyes. If our daughter didn't obey, your son would beat her to death! You still say this is a slander?!"

Mr. Liu's face turned pale instantly, and he was stammering and speechless.

"Not only that, just last month, Mr. Liu sent people to burn down our workshop and destroy everything we depended on for survival! Now we can only live on the streets begging!" Another middle-aged man also complained.

"It's him, we can prove it. He uses the power and money in his hands to constantly suppress other businessmen and seize their business."

"Damn it, so abominable!"

Mr. Liu, who was still making strong arguments at first, was horrified when he heard everyone's accusations. His face turned pale and he could no longer utter any words of defense.

Chu Ze, who was watching, sneered. He patted the table and said, "Mr. Liu, do you have anything else to say? Think about all the dirty things you have done. Haven't you learned enough lessons?"

Mr. Liu fell to his knees, trembling all over. He raised his head and looked at Chu Ze with pleading eyes: "Your Excellency, it's all our son's fault. We really can't discipline him! It's all his fault! We can't do anything." have no idea!"

"What a man who cannot be disciplined!" Chu Ze sneered: "As a father, you can't be responsible for your son. How qualified are you to say that!"

"Since your son has done so many bad things, but you only shirk your responsibility, what's the difference between you and your son?!"

When Mr. Liu heard this, his face twisted and he gritted his teeth, unable to find any words to refute.

"Since you have nothing to say, I will pronounce the sentence. In view of the several crimes you committed in Fengyang, I hereby sentence you to death and all your family property will be confiscated!" Chu Ze said solemnly.

"No... don't kill us!" Mr. Liu suddenly came to his senses and begged: "Sir, please have mercy, we can atone for our sins!"

"Can you atone for your sins?" Chu Ze sneered: "Let these victims speak for themselves. Have you ever shown mercy to them?"

Mr. Liu's face suddenly turned pale. He knelt down in despair and said, "Sir, we were wrong! Please don't kill us! We are willing to repay you for anything!"

"Put them both father and son in prison, and join Jin Xuehai in committing suicide later!" Chu Ze ordered decisively.

Mr. Liu's eyes widened and he wanted to argue, but he was roughly dragged out by the escorting officer.

"Pah!" Mr. Liu screamed after being beaten. He hid while cursing: "Our father will take revenge! When we get out, I will break your legs!"

Li Xing snorted coldly, kicked him out and said, "That's a good idea. You can never leave the house in this life."

The Liu family father and son were finally escorted out of the lobby, and there was silence for a while.

Chu Ze let out a long breath and said to Li Xing: "You handled it well. We have more important things to do next."

Li Xing asked: "What's the matter?"

Chu Ze stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "We have basically controlled the situation in Fengyang, but this is just the beginning. The key reason why Fengyang is poor is low productivity. We must increase agricultural output, develop handicrafts, and establish A sound management and taxation system is fundamental.”

Zhao Si and Li Xing nodded in agreement.

Chu Ze continued: "You can go back and draw up specific plans and plans for our detailed review. We must improve Fengyang's economic strength in the shortest possible time to make the people rich and the country prosperous." Li Xing and Zhao Si finished listening to Chu Ze Ze's instructions were all nodded to indicate understanding, and they were ready to leave first to discuss specific plans.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

I saw a ragged middle-aged man rushing into the lobby, heading straight for Chu Ze, kneeling on the ground and crying loudly: "My lord, help me! This little man's family is ruined!"

Chu Ze frowned and asked sternly: "Who are you? Do you know the rules when you break into the court without permission?"

The man wiped his tears and choked up and said: "My surname is Chen, and I am a local carpenter. We are all responsible for taking care of the family. Unexpectedly, thugs from the Liu family broke into our house yesterday and razed it to the ground." Ping Di, take our wife and children...all..."

At this point, he couldn't speak anymore and lowered his head in pain.

Chu Ze pondered for a moment, then said with a sad look in his eyes: "Wait a minute, the Liu family thugs you are talking about, do you mean Mr. Liu's family?"

"Exactly!" Carpenter Chen raised his head with tears in his eyes and said: "Since Mr. Liu took control of Fengyang's timber trade, he began to crazily suppress us carpenters and force us to work for him. If we didn't obey, he would send people to destroy our family. Destroyed! How many good people have been harmed by these Liu family father and son!"

"We understand your pain." Chu Ze sighed: "But don't worry, the Liu family and his son have been brought to justice, and they can no longer harm the people. Just go back and bury your wife and children, and the court will give you an explanation."

After hearing this, Carpenter Chen could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears.

At this time, several more ragged people poured into the hall, all begging the Liu family for their atrocities.

Three days later, Fengyang Caishikou.

Today is the day when the Liu family and Jin Xuehai commit suicide. Chu Ze personally presides over it to make their crimes known to the world and warn future generations.

Early in the morning, crowds of people flocked to the market entrance, all wanting to see with their own eyes what would happen to the Liu family and Jin Xuehai who had tortured them for so many years.

The market entrance was quickly filled with people and very lively.

Soon, the Liu family's father and son were escorted slowly to the center of the execution ground with their hands tied behind their backs and wooden shackles on their heads.

Mr. Liu's face was pale and he looked around in fear, still hoping to escape death. Mr. Liu, on the other hand, was still unrepentant and still uttered arrogant words, clamoring to kill everyone.

Finally, Jin Xuehai was also taken to the execution ground.

He used to be ferocious, but now he looked like he was out of his mind, muttering to himself, as if he had already gone crazy.

Amidst the boos from everyone, Chu Ze slowly came to the high platform.

Chu Ze held the verdict in his hand, his eyes were like a torch, he looked around, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on him. He spoke slowly, and every word was full of heaviness and determination.

"Jin Xuehai, as the magistrate of Fengyang Prefecture, not only failed to enforce the law impartially, but instead used his power to seek personal gain. First of all, he had embezzled and accepted huge amounts of bribes during his term of office. According to investigations, just the bribes he accepted for the construction of cities and water conservancy projects amounted to Nearly one million taels of silver."
