The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 687

Fang Xianzhong was so excited that he almost knelt on the ground and called the emperor. Li Yuanhao quickly winked at him. After all, there are many people watching in the hall, so it is not appropriate to reveal their identities.

At this time, the trial of the corrupt official He Yaozu continued.

"He Yaozu! You are a mere county magistrate! How dare you bully Mr. Fang and the common people! Quickly! Tell the truth! Who promoted you to one level! Do you have a court token?" Li Yuanhao said righteously.

Although He Yaozu was very down and out, he would not admit that he offered a treasure pot as a tribute.

Li Yuanhao slapped the gavel: "Bring witnesses up!"

Soon, two brothers and two servants came up.

When He Yaozu saw the two servants, sweat dripped from his forehead.

Sure enough, the two brothers and the two servants told the story of the treasure pot in public.

He Yaozu still refused to acknowledge the offering of the treasure pot. To be honest, he didn't want to involve Marshal Li Jun and the fourth prince.

"Hit me!" Li Yuanhao was still majestic in this regard, Liu Yunxiang slapped and slapped him down, but He Yaozu leaned his body and didn't hit him, but hit his concubine.

Where did the concubine ever get whipped? Seeing He Yaozu humiliated and conspicuous in front of everyone, even the concubine couldn't protect her, she felt very sad, and said to He Yaozu: "I'll follow you! I hoped to enjoy happiness, but you are so useless! "

"In this case, the confession is lenient, and the resistance is stricter! If you don't confess when you know the truth, the crime will be aggravated! Death penalty is inevitable!"

Li Yuanhao's majestic and solemn voice strongly hit He Yaozu's concubine. The concubine didn't have any hope for He Yaozu's turnaround, so she stood up wisely and said:
"My lord! My master did get the treasure pot from two servants, and then I suggested that he go to the capital to present the treasure pot as a tribute!"

"You! You slut! You actually teased me in public! You! You..." He Yaozu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Shut up! Brave He Yaozu! You actually cursed people in public! Moreover, if you conceal your crime and commit it knowingly, the crime will be aggravated!"

Li Yuanhao slapped the gavel, and He Yaozu's legs trembled. Li Yuanhao's voice reminded him of the scene where the emperor was furious in the palace.

"Keep talking! I will definitely send you back!" Li Yuanhao clearly judged right from wrong and encouraged He Yaozu's concubine to continue to confess He Yaozu's crimes.

The concubine also cooperated very much, and confessed to the crimes of corruption and bribery committed by He Yaozu as the magistrate of Dayang County, tampering with the government without permission, arbitrarily increasing taxes and fees, and the crime of fish and meat of the people, etc.

It made He Yaozu droop his head like a defeated rooster.

All the crimes were clearly listed, and all the people bravely came forward to testify, counting out many crimes such as oppression and exploitation by He Yaozu's officials, occupation of good land, robbery of people's women, false publicity for personal gain, embezzlement and perversion of the law, etc.

He Yaozu felt even more helpless, he really wanted to drill through a crack in the ground.

Li Yuanhao announced in public: Reinstate Fang Xianzhong's official position, continue to work diligently and love the people, and benefit the people.Confiscate all the illegally obtained properties of He Yaozu, confiscate them all, and deprive them of all rights.

Such a trial was very satisfying. After the trial, with the support of Li Yuanhao and the common people, Fang Xianzhong, who was restored to his original position, announced to the common people: "All the taxes He Yaozu collected privately will be returned to everyone!"

"Great! We see the light of day again!"

"It really makes the clouds clear to see the sun!"
