Seeing this, Ma Mingfeng smiled coldly, but sighed in his heart. Naturally, he would not take it seriously to deal with Li Jing's family, but he could only use this to threaten the other party and make a fuss. Of course, the main part is indeed facts, only a little bit of fabrication, and there is no difference in sentencing, but this is not in line with the judicial procedures of later generations.

But Ma Mingfeng knew that these were two eras after all. In this era of the Ming Dynasty, although Li Jing was a little wronged, this was the best way to shock the young man.

The next day, Ma Mingfeng ordered the public trial of Li He's murder case.

At the time of trial, Li He finally realized Ma Mingfeng's ultimate intention, shouted for justice, and refused to admit his crimes.

However, he could not make up the truth even if his mouth was hard, how could he be as hard as Kaifeng Mansion? Finally, after suffering a lot, Li He finally collapsed and caused the murder to be the first to be.

Shaw then told the story of adultery and conspiracy.

Ma Mingfeng pronounced the sentence in court that the criminal Li He committed adultery and murdered Shao Brothers, which was outrageous and sentenced to death. After the autumn, he was sentenced to death and fined Li He 300 silver silver to compensate the victim's family. At the same time, the Xiangfu County Magistrate was warned for dereliction of duty. The Xiangfu County Criminal Officer and Corps were sentenced to five years in prison for the crime of illegitimate fraud and shelter, and suggested that Xiangfu County denied the two of them and never talked about them.

After the trial of this case was completed, Ma Mingfeng immediately announced that he would try the Li He dereliction of duty case the next day.

This caused a huge sensation.

When Ma Mingfeng tried the murder case before, the yamen runners in three classes and six rooms were not touched. After all, although there were not many murder cases, it was not unusual. There were still one or two cases every year. However, this was the first time that the torture officer was interrogated in the torture office officials in court, especially the other party's status was not low, which represented the entire clerk class, and it might also touch the nerves of all clerks.

Originally, when I heard that the new magistrate had taken action against the clerk class, the clerks in Class 3 and the other five rooms were very resisted, especially the station team in Class 3. Wang Chong and Li Jing were close friends. Now, seeing that the iron buddies were actually going to be tried, I immediately ordered the yamen runners in Class 3 to take leave when the case was tried.

Without these yamen runners standing in the lobby, the prefect could not show off his might. Even the trial process was difficult to proceed. He wanted to take a look at what methods Ma Mingfeng had?

However, Ma Mingfeng didn't care at all. He directly recruited more than a dozen people from the onlookers and asked them to serve as yamen runners in the station squad. He also ordered the guards to escort prisoners, which left the yamen runners in the station squad aside.

After hearing the news, the yamen runners were all shocked. They knew that if they didn't go on duty, they would probably not be able to eat the rice in the yamen in the future, so they rushed back to the yamen and stood in the lobby with a low eyebrow. Although Ma Mingfeng did not use them, they did not dare to leave. They were all uneasy, fearing that their job would be lost. This was not only a matter of face, but also many benefits. Even if it was not illegal income, many of them had a lot of legal income, which was enough to support their families.

Ma Mingfeng ignored the yamen runners. He now needs these yamen runners to help him spread this matter.

So Ma Mingfeng tried Li Jing bit by bit.

In fact, although the trial seemed to be very careful, Ma Mingfeng was the complete leader of this trial. Li Jing had long lost his fighting spirit. He just answered whatever Ma Mingfeng asked, including modifying the file, burning the file, and condoning and hiding his nephew...

After everything was cleared, Ma Mingfeng slapped the auspicious tree and said loudly: "Bold Li Jing, why are you a clerk in the criminal room? You have actually committed favoritism and fraud. You have created so many unjust cases and burned the files, which makes the unjust cases unjust, which is simply a great crime!"

Then Ma Mingfeng immediately pronounced the sentence, so Li Jing, an official in the Criminal Office, committed dereliction of duty, malfeasance, bribery, shelter, and punishment for multiple crimes, sentenced to death and beheaded immediately.

When Ma Mingfeng pronounced the sentence and Li Jing was dragged out to execute like a dead dog, the onlookers were all shocked. They did not expect that the prefect had such a strong intention to kill, and directly killed a clerk who had many years of experience in prison.

The onlookers applauded. During the time of his charge, Li Jing accepted bribes and did not do much to turn things around. Many families of the victims knew that their unjust cases were caused by the other party, but they had no choice but to protect each other.

However, now the new magistrate killed Li Jing. Although there was no way to overturn the case for them because the file was destroyed, this was an explanation for the victims. If there were no such a hateful clerk, how could their relatives suffer unjust injustice?

As a result, many people established monuments of virtue, umbrellas of the people, plaques of praise for the new prefect, and some people established new words for Ma Mingfeng.

In fact, Ma Mingfeng still felt guilty about these things. In fact, he was fully capable of overturning the verdict for those who were wronged and wronged, because the file was not burned at all. At the beginning, it was just a warehouse burned. But Ma Mingfeng knew that he could not offend those powerful people at the moment. It was not that he was afraid of those powerful people, but that he knew that Kaifeng would fall into another crisis soon, and he would also have to unite those powerful people to survive. If he made enemies on all sides just to uphold justice, it would definitely be an unwise act to face the next crisis.

"Actually, I am not a good official who hates evil and is selfless. Although I am much worse than Bao Gong in this regard in Kaifeng Prefecture, I also have a clear conscience. What I focus on is not the past, but the future of this city, and even the future of my Ming Dynasty. I also want to kill all the stolen officials to truly maintain fairness and justice. But all this is just in ideals. Even in such a class society, all this can only be fantasy, and I can only make plans for the survival of more people down-to-earth."

Ma Mingfeng's heart was very bitter, but this did not prevent him from doing what he was going to do next.

On the night when Li Jing was executed, Ma Mingfeng gathered all the officials in Class 3 and Room 6 for a meeting, asking all the yamen runners in Kaifeng Prefecture to learn from it and never make similar mistakes again. They worked diligently to do their own jobs and promised not to mention the past. But from now on, if there are any more crimes, Li Jing will be a role model.
