Zhao Nanfeng was treated as the back of Wei Tu, and for a moment, he was panicked. Looking at his side's retreat, he hated Wei Tu, a despicable villain, in his heart, but at such a critical moment, he could not bear to think too much, and turned around and fled here.

However, Li Dahe was extremely angry when he saw Wei Tu running away. When he saw Zhao Nanfeng, he was about to escape. How could he let him go so easily?

"Don't let Zhao Nanfeng run away." Li Dahe roared.

When President Li, who was fighting with the enemy on the side, heard this, he forced his enemy to retreat with a knife. He quickly grabbed a brick beside him and threw it hard towards Zhao Nanfeng who was about to escape from Xiaoyuan.

"ah!"

After a scream, Zhao Nanfeng fell down.

The killers saw that the financial owners on their side had already run away first, and at this moment they had no will to fight to the death. After resisting for a while, they covered each other and ran away, leaving Zhao Nanfeng on the ground in pain and looked at the guards surrounding him in fear.

Seeing that he had become a turtle in a jar and there was no possibility of escape, Zhao Nanfeng endured the pain in his legs and knelt in front of Li Dahe and kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged: "Captain Li Qin, please spare my life. I was deceived by Wei Tu and did such a thing. Please give me a way out! Captain my life!"

Li Dahe glanced at Zhao Nanfeng coldly and said, "As an official in the court, you don't want to serve Your Majesty, but you follow Wei Tu to oppress the people. You still want to survive now. It's a joke. Come on! Take him down, close the city gate, and search for Wei Tu and other people who are offenders."

The guards received the order with a loud bang.

The fighting in this courtyard had already alarmed the residents around. These people carefully observed the situation here through the cracks of the door. After seeing several waves of ferocious people running out of the courtyard, they all held their breath and did not dare to make any sounds, so as not to cause fire to burn them.

As the city gate closed, Li Dahe immediately mobilized all the armed forces in the city and began to search for Wei Tu in the whole city. For a moment, the people in Pingnan were panicked. Some people who did not understand the situation were already scared and thought that the legendary dinosaurs were coming.

The search lasted for a day. At noon the next day, with the report of the people, Wei Tu, who had escaped for more than a day, was finally arrested and brought to justice.

Two days later, with Han Ji awakening, Li Dahe came to the Tizheng Department again, but the two people who sat in the upper position with him last time became prisoners at this moment. Things in the world changed impermanently, which really made Li Dahe sigh for a while.

"Take the prisoner Han Ji." Li Dahe said loudly.

"Go back to the imperial envoy, Han Ji brought it there." The guard whispered.

"There are people from Pingnan City under the hall, Han Ji!"

The young man who had been tortured to death and was immediately crying and said, "I am Han Ji, please ask the imperial envoy to preside over justice for me. I did not kill anyone!"

Li Dahe took a photo of the agglomeration and said, "Don't shout loudly in the court. Han Ji, I'll ask you, do you know these two people."

As he said that, he pointed to his knees aside, and Wei and Zhao, who were tied up in various ways, said.

Looking at the two people beside him, Han Ji suddenly became angry. The power burst out from his thin body was unknown. He broke free from the yamen runner's custody and rushed towards the two of them directly.

Seeing this, Li Dahe was shocked and said quickly: "Stop him."

Although hatred caused Han Ji to burst out with strength, his long-term malnutrition made his actions stumble and he was easily subdued by the yamen runners.

"I want to kill you." Han Ji yelled at Wei and Zhao under the suppression of the yamen runners.

"Bang!"

With a crisp gavel, Li Dahe whispered loudly: "Roaring at the court is prohibited. If there is any reoffending, punish the punishment will be taken."

When Han Ji heard this, he looked at Li Dahe and kowtowed a few times, saying, "Sir, these two people committed adultery with my wife. After killing her, he said that I killed her. Sir, Han Ji requested that these two people be executed immediately."

Li Dahe snorted coldly and said, "What are the charges of these two people? I will decide when it will be your turn to say more."

"Ha, the surname of Li, please be more careful if you want to kill him or punish him." Wei Tu, who was disheveled, sneered.

Zhao Nanfeng, who was standing beside him, had already been scared and looked deserted, kneeling on the ground and trembling.

"You are bold in Wei Tu. You dare to despise the imperial officials when you die. If you come, you will punish twenty sticks." Li Dahe said angrily.

Upon hearing this, the guard shouted loudly and dragged Wei Tu aside. The stick fell like raindrops. However, Wei Tu was also a hard bone. His butt was beaten to pieces, but he gritted his teeth and stood up without saying a word.

After twenty sticks, Wei Tu had already fainted.

"The imperial envoy, the prisoner is already in a coma." Li Basong said loudly.

"Wake up with water!" Li Dahe said expressionlessly.

A basin of cold water poured down, and Wei Tu woke up slowly. The pain on his body made him frown slightly. He looked at Li Dahe who was sitting above and said coldly: "My surname is Li, do you have this little ability?"

Li Dahe ignored his ridicule, picked up a piece of paper on the table, and chanted loudly: "As the criminal Wei Tu, Zhao Nanfeng, as the imperial official, did not think of the emperor's kindness, committed adultery with others, killed him, accepted bribes, and sought assassination of the imperial official, and sentenced to death, and seized all assets. The descendants of three generations are not allowed to be officials, and the fine is subject to heavy taxes. The two of them will be taken to the capital for execution on the day."

After saying that, he said to the guards beside him: "Let them put their handprints."

The guards ignored Zhao Nanfeng who was begging and forced to press his fingers to complete the plot.

While Wei Tu pressed his fingers to cover his guards, he shouted loudly: "The man surnamed Li said that he is righteous for democracy, how many people in the Ministry of Justice have collected my money? Why don't you arrest them? The law of Daxia is nothing, and the only thing that protects the interests of you."

Li Dahe was shocked when he heard this and shouted: "Boldly offend the official, and dare to slander others until he dies. Come on, someone! Palm."

With a fierce beating, Wei Tu's teeth were knocked off.

"The prisoner Han Ji was originally a good man, and his wife was inappropriate in character. Although he was based on the laws of Daxia, his wife was abolished by the Daxia nationality and demoted her to a slave. He was not allowed to be buried in the soil after death. He should dig his tomb and corpse in the wilderness."

He paused and continued: "I will not let any Chinese be wronged. Han Ji is acquitted and will compensate for the loss of 100 stale copper coins and withdraw from the house!"

Finally cleared the grievances, Han Ji cried with joy and cried loudly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Li Qin."

The next day, he ordered people to deal with Wei Tu's injuries in a hurry and escorted the two to the capital.

This incident soon spread in Pingnan City, and ordinary people were cheering. Han Ji's case was not just his own business. Through this case, people realized that officials could not do whatever they wanted, and they also understood that the law restrained themselves while protecting themselves.

For Li Dahe, when Wei Tu knew that he would die, he did not dare to make any details about the bribery of many people in the Ministry of Justice. If this matter continues to be investigated, it will definitely be a very difficult thing to deal with if some senior officials come out.

Although he was young and passionate, he was not a reckless man. It would be of no benefit to him if he had to take too much care of this matter.

Half a month later, after running around without stopping, Wei Tu and his wife were escorted back to the capital and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Li Dahe, who returned to the capital, was summoned to the palace by Wang Lang before he could sit firmly.

After meeting Wang Lang, Li Dahe told all the things about it.

But after hearing this, Wang Lang was not angry or sneered, but just sighed helplessly.

With the progress of society, corruption and abuse of power will inevitably occur. This generation of officials can be said to be novice in the officialdom. When the system is improved and the number of officials increases, it is difficult to eliminate corruption.

Han Ji's case may not be an exception. The rights of officials are increasing, so it is no longer surprising that things that take human life are happening. This time, Han Ji was lucky. The level of these officials in charge of affairs was too low, and Wang Lang easily saw the flaws. If these officials become familiar with the law in the future and write the files without missing a trace, I don't know how many Han Ji were innocently killed.

From a rational point of view, Wang Lang hopes to rely on the law to safeguard the rights and interests of the people, but he still has a chivalrous spirit in his heart. The hatred of killing his father and the hatred of taking his wife is an irreconcilable hatred.

If Han Ji was not caught by Wei Tu and others, and after lurking for a few years, Wang Lang would like to avenge the two of them, he would admire this behavior from the bottom of his heart. Even if such behavior hurts his own ruling foundation.

When society forces you to the point of no way out, don’t forget that there is still a way behind you, that is, crime, and it is not shameful to remember.

When the Xia Kingdom was first established, everything was from nothing to something. It was impossible to improve the legal system. Only by constantly improving the law through cases can it take generations of achievements.

Li Dahe did not mention the bribery mentioned by Wei Tu. After finishing the verdict of Wei Tu, Wang Lang agreed to his verdict and demanded that the two be executed immediately, pickling their heads and passing them to each city to warn others.

After this incident, Wang Lang ordered the Ministry of Works to set up a huge dragon-skin drum outside the palace, called the Dengwen Drum. Anyone who thinks that there is a huge grievance in the Xia Kingdom can beat the Dengwen Drum and go directly to the palace to meet Wang Lang.

As Han Ji and Zhao Nanfeng's heads fell to the ground, Kong Yi and others, who had been worried for a long time, were finally able to breathe a long sigh.

In the yamen of the Ministry of Justice, a middle-aged official smiled and said, "These two people finally died. Every day they live, I will have one more night to sleep."

"With that being said, once these two people die, our source of income is much less, which is a pity." One person sighed.

While everyone was sighing, Kong Yi, who was sitting in the first place, snorted coldly: "Do you think that such a smart person would not see what I was waiting for? You have made enough money, and sometimes you can die of a too good appetite. Those two are your role models. You should be honest during this period and don't cause me any big trouble, otherwise I can't save you."

Seeing Kong Yi say something, these officials shut their mouths, saying that it is good to enjoy the cool under the big tree. As long as Kong Yi, a minister who follows the dragon, can continue to live a leisurely life.

Kong glanced at everyone and said, "That Li Dahe has been watching me recently. If possible, try to pull us to our side. Even if it is impossible, try not to offend him."

"Shangshu, Li Dahe has been a popular person in front of His Majesty recently. He has taken away the limelight from the Ministry of Justice. Now that he has the case of Han Ji, he is likely to be promoted to a third-rank official. In the further direction, he is a court official like us. The promotion speed is too fast." An official said with some envy and jealousy.

Kong Yi sneered, "The Ministry of Justice is my Kong Yi's world. I am still here. You guys are worried about it."

After the heads of Wei and Zhao were pickled, they hung on the city wall for three days. The people coming and going pointed at the heads and read the notice on the city wall literally loudly. The notice listed all the crimes of Wei and Zhao.

When the people heard that these two were senior officials from Mu Shou, they were extremely shocked. Officials who broke the law would kill them. The deterrent power of the law was magnified in the hearts of the people at this moment. It can be said that they were afraid of the law like a tiger.

These crimes are too far away from the lives of ordinary people, but murder and adultery can happen at any time. There are several people sentenced to death in adultery cases. Under the intimidation of the butcher knife, men have to consider whether this matter is worth taking risks. If their heads are cut off just because they have a little fun, then the cost of this shot is too huge.

Although humans who have just left the wilderness have experienced the influence of the Xia Kingdom civilization, on the whole, they have more or less the barbaric aura of the wilderness era. There are also frequent incidents of killing people with disagreement.

With the shackles of the law, they have to think twice before acting.

The influence of Han Ji's case has become widely known as the heads hanging in various cities and has become a topic of conversation for people after dinner. For those disobedient children, their parents have an extra way to intimidate them. If you say you are disobedient, you will be sent to the Ministry of Justice prison, which will stop the children from crying.

Historians recorded this incident in its original form. Later historians highly affirmed the punishment result of the first official crime in human history, believing that this was a very important case to establish the legal status of the Xia State.

Just when this case was causing a lot of controversy within the territory of Xia Kingdom, Li Mu made great progress in the southwest direction of the Shenzhou continent.

With the spread of local savages, the three words "Xia" have already had a sacred meaning in the savages' hearts.

Li Mu's strategy is different from the previous arrogant Tuobian in Xia State. The navy and military doctors of Xia State won the trust of the savages by helping to help the savages constantly and showing their powerful strength. After gaining a firm foothold here, as the reputation spreads, and even without the army looking for people everywhere, there will be many tribes who have a hard time traveling through the vast jungle to this stronghold by the sea. As long as they get here, they believe that they can become the rumored Xia people, and from then on they will live a good life with enough food every day.
