Chapter 49 The Trial
Seeing Di Xiaoxu crying and running over, Li Haochen snorted coldly, "Mr. Di, should I do what I should do? I have to let you teach me?"
Di Xiaoxu looked at Li Haochen with a bad face and was stunned. He heard that after Li Haochen entered the city, he went straight to the government office. He had not found out the matter yet, so he ran over quickly and wanted to stop Li Haochen, but he didn't expect to be a step late. At this moment, when he looked at Li Haochen's tone, he realized that his words had been a little overwhelming, and he quickly spoke: "I don't dare to do it! Just..."
Before Di Xiaoxu finished speaking, Li Haochen took the words and said, "It's just what? You haven't found out yet, right? Let me tell you, such corrupt officials, keeping them for a day is a disaster, and they are all irresponsible to the people. I'm not afraid that others will say that I, Li Haochen, acts arbitrary and does not tell evidence. You must know that the Henan Dao has been rotten to the root of the roots. If you don't strictly rectify them, the people will not be able to live a good life, so I can't wait for that long. I will deal with these corrupt officials now!"
When Di Xiaoxu heard Li Haochen say this, he knew that nothing he was talking about was useless. Besides, it was already a good thing. Li Haochen had tied up Wu Letian, so he must not let him go now. Thinking of this, he stepped aside and stopped talking.
However, Li Haochen had just had a conversation with Di Xiaoxu, but Wu Letian was frightened by the side. Wu Letian always thought that Li Haochen was Yin Xiong, and Yin Xiong's identity was just a descendant of a noble family and had no actual official position. So Wu Letian knew that Yin Xiong could not do anything to him, but Li Haochen was different. Li Haochen was the chief military and political manager of Hebei Road appointed by the emperor himself. In principle, Li Haochen had the final say in the military and political power of Hebei Road. If Li Haochen wanted to kill him, it would be easier!
Thinking of this, Wu Letian, who was still energetic just now, was like an eggplant made by frost. He lost his energy. He looked at Di Xiaoxu again and said, "What's the situation of Lord Di?" He didn't know Li Haochen, but he knew Di Xiaoxu. At that time, Di Xiaoxu was in the imperial envoy and entered Bianzhou City swaggeringly, and he personally sent Di Xiaoxu to Guanyi to rest. That's why he once again asked for verification like Di Xiaoxu.
Di Xiaoxu also knew what Wu Letian meant, so he explained to him: "Master Wu, please accept your fate! The one who arrested you just now was His Majesty's newly appointed Imperial Envoy for the Yellow River Disaster Survey, the Chief Military and Political Manager of Henan Road, Li Haochen, Lord Li, I am just a casual person of Lord Li. Under the order of Lord Li, I entered Bianzhou City first under the banner of the imperial envoy!"
After listening to Di Xiaoxu's words, Wu Letian knew that he was really explaining this time, and his body softened and collapsed on the ground.
Li Haochen didn't even look at him, so he ordered the soldiers beside him, "Cleaning the main hall of the government office, I want to go to the court to judge the case!" After Li Haochen said that, Wu Letian, who had already collapsed on the ground, almost fainted. He understood Li Haochen's meaning. Li Haochen did not want to go to the court to judge the case. It was obvious that he wanted to go to the court to kill people, and he was still the one who killed him. Wu Letian had a trace of luck in his heart. He thought that if Li Haochen imprisoned him first and then searched for evidence, and waited for a while, Wang Hu, the chief marching manager of Hebei Road, would definitely get the news and would definitely come to save him. In this way, he might be able to escape, but it was obvious that he was thinking too much. Li Haochen was not going to give him such an opportunity at all.
A moment later, Li Haochen sat in the main hall of the Bianzhou Prefecture Office, slapped the auspicious wood in his hand and said, "Shengtang brings prisoners, Wu Letian, Gao He!"
As Li Haochen finished speaking, Wu Letian and Gao He, tied up in big ties, were brought to the hall. Seeing the two kneeling on the ground, Li Haochen slapped the agglomeration again and said, "Do you two know their guilt?"
Wu Letian said honestly: "You are aware of the crime, and you are aware of the crime. Please give me a slight retribution!" Li Haochen looked at Wu Letian confessed, and then looked at Gao He and said: "He has already confessed his guilt, where are you?"
Gao He looked at Wu Letian with disdain and said, "What is the crime of the last general? If you want to punish the last general, there is evidence, right? You can't take human life aside!"
Gao He rebeled Li Haochen's army. Although Gao He told him some secret things, these words were all out of Gao He's mouth and ears, and could not be used as evidence. Moreover, there has never been a precedent for the presiding judge to be a witness himself.
Li Haochen looked at Gao He who refused to admit it and snorted coldly: "Okay, if you want evidence, I will show you the evidence. The person who came to bring a witness to Hu Zi, a villager from Xiaozhuang Village!"
Hu Zi was taken to the main hall for a moment. Looking at Li Haochen sitting in the main hall, Hu Zi quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Caomin Hu Zi has seen an adult, kowtow to him!"
Li Haochen looked at Hu Zi and said, "I asked you, are there people in the hall who illegally detained the villagers of Xiaozhuang Village?"
Hu Zi looked at Gao He and Wu Letian who were tied up by many flowers and said, "Yes, this is this person!" Hu Zi pointed Gao He at that time.
Li Haochen nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "Who those who dug up nine embankments of the Yellow River and cause the Yellow River to flood the villages around Bianzhou City can be in the hall?"
Hu Zi shook his head and said, "This grass people don't know. The grass people didn't see anyone digging the embankment. These are all the things that the grass people heard from the people in the village! They didn't see it, the grass people dare not deceive the adults!"
Li Haochen continued after hearing this, "Then where is the person you see in the village?"
Hu Zi shook his head again and said that he didn't know. Gao He had a glamorous look in his eyes. He had already dealt with the people who knew about this. Among these people were Lian'er's parents. This is why Gao He knew that Li Haochen had saved the villagers of Xiaozhuang Village and was still fearless in asking Li Haochen for evidence. Gao He knew that if Li Haochen had no evidence, it was proved that it was the Yellow River embankment he dug, which was just an illegal detention and could not be killed. Only he did not die, then Wang Hu, the cousin of the Henan Road marching chief, would definitely have a way to save him.
Can Gao He's wishful thinking be announced? The answer is no, Li Haochen directly slapped the excuse and said, "Okay, now the case is clear, and the verdict is heard from the hall. Wu Letian, as the governor of Bianzhou, was appointed by His Majesty. He did not think about being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and opposed the villagers. He directed the major case of the Yellow River breaking. It is really anger between man and gods. God is in a state of tolerance. If God is not tolerated, it is not enough to calm the anger of the people. If he does not kill, it is not enough to rectify the law. If he does not kill, it is not enough to pay tribute to the souls who died unjustly in this man-made disaster. This official was the plan of the people of Bianzhou and sentenced Wu Letian to behead him for the country and country plan. All his family property was confiscated, thinking that it would be used for disaster relief in Bianzhou in the later period!" After hearing Li Haochen's verdict, Wu Letian collapsed on the ground and could not say a word.
At this time, Gao He looked indifferent. As the saying goes, "Dao Fellowship is not dead, but Wu Letian has nothing to do with him, only now Li Haochen can't kill him."
Unfortunately, Li Haochen did not do what he wished. Li Haochen slapped the exclamation again and shouted: "The former garrison of Bianzhou, Gao He, was the garrison of a city, did not want to defend the people and surround the villagers, but illegally imprisoned the villagers of Xiaozhuang Village with a ill intention and rebellion. Now Gao He was sentenced to be executed and decisive. All his family property was confiscated, thinking that it would be used for disaster relief in Bianzhou in the later period!" Gao He never thought that Li Haochen had given him a crime of rebellion, which was enough to kill him more than ten times. Gao He was dissatisfied. But at this moment he also realized that Li Haochen was not talking about evidence at all. The fact is that he wanted to kill him. Even if there was no evidence, he would kill him. Then nothing he said now was useless.
Li Haochen looked at Gao He without saying a word and waved his hand and said, "Take it down!"
"Slow down!" A loud shout interrupted Li Haochen.
