417 Letter from Canghai
This delicate and gentle call shocked Lord Shangshu all over, and he was almost scared to the point of falling down.
He stepped forward two steps and came to the front of the hall with trembling fear, his lips trembling slightly, obviously uneasy: "Master of the Island, I am here."
Jiuyin glanced at him, and his eyes fell on the book in front of him, saying indifferently: "Sir Shangshu, I have snatched 300 acres of fertile land from the people in the past five years, countless gold, silver and jewelry. Last year, I forced a pair of twin sisters to return home. Because they refused to obey, they killed them in anger. At the beginning of this year, they occupied one of the newlyweds of one of the subordinates and hung the subordinate in the back mountain. The newlyweds are still in your mansion and become your eighth lady."
The sharp eyes swept over, and this sweep made Lord Shangshu kneel down and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Island, Lord Island... these, these..."
"Are these slandering you?" Jiuyin raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Yes...yes, that's right..." Lord Shangshu looked up at her and hurriedly said, "These are all made out of nothing, they are all slandering the empress. The island master must not be deceived by villains..."
"Come, drag him out." Jiuyin waved her hand, but the smile at the corner of her lips had not dissipated, but her eyes were sharp: "Drunk by the stick."
Kill the stick! As soon as these two words came out, except for Prince Yi and the God of War who were sitting on both sides of the island master, who were quietly watching everything in the hall, everyone took a breath and their eyes fell on Lord Shangshu who was lowered.
The Minister of the Shangshu of a country was actually about to be killed by a stick. Not to mention that everyone could not accept it, even the Secretary of the Shangshu was shocked. He looked up at Jiuyin and said anxiously: "The Island Master, I am wronged, the Island Master..."
"If you are willing to admit your mistake sincerely, I can spare you death, but if you don't repent, I can only let you confiscate your property and return it to the people in the future. As for your family, they will be sent to a small town on the border island to work with the people to open up land and farm."
"Lord of Island, Lord of Island, please spare me! Lord of Island, Lord of Island, I... confess my guilt, I tell the truth..."
"It's too late." Jiuyin waved her hand, glanced coldly, and the two guards immediately entered the lobby, clamped the Lord Shangshu one left and one right, and dragged him out the door.
Lord Shangshu was still crying and begging for mercy: "Lord of the Island, I confess my guilt, I am wrong! Lord of the Island, please spare me..."
The sound became farther and farther away, and not long after, I heard the dull sound of the board falling on the flesh and the desolate screams of Lord Shangshu. The screams became weaker and weaker, and I could never hear them again in the end.
After about one stick of incense, a guard hurriedly returned and came to the front of the hall to salute Jiuyin and said, "Report to the island master, Lord Shangshu has been sentenced to death."
"Drag it down and throw it into the mass grave."
"Yes, Lord Island."
After the guard left, Jiuyin looked at the people below and smiled and said, "Now, is there anyone taking the initiative to explain? If not, I will read out the second person investigated today."
From beginning to end, there was a gentle and faint smile on the corners of her lips. When she smiled, she smiled in a stunning smile and then made people's hearts mess. Such beautiful and beautiful girl's house was so cruel and ruthless.
Although the Shangshu of a country is not as noble as the Shangshu of a great country, it is under several people on their Langya Island and above ten thousand people, with a noble and prominent status, just now, he was killed by a stick.
Even Master Shangshu is like this, let alone others?
But if we really explain, can we really avoid their sins? What if we end up killing a stick after the confession?
The people below were worried, but no one was willing to step forward and surrender to the New Island owner.
Jiuyin's thin lips curled, and his eyes fell on the book in his hand. The two thin lips slightly activated, and a title overflowed softly: "Sir Fuguo."
The Lord of the Fuguo was so scared that he cried low, and his legs became weak and he knelt down on the spot. He knelt down and climbed to the hall, looked up at Jiuyin, and said in a panic: "Lord of the Island, Lord of the Island, I admit my mistake, I know I am wrong..."
Jiuyin's eyes fell on his face and said with a smile: "Then what mistake did you make?"
"My... I have robbed more than 280 acres of gold, tens of thousands of taels of gold, silver and jewelry from the people for two days, and a few girls have been stronger..."
“Where are those wealth now?”
"Everyone is in my house. I will take the island master's people back. As for those girls..." He looked at Jiuyin and said sarcastically: "Master Island Master, I have lived with my wife for several years and are already like a family. If they want to go home, I will never stop me, but if they are willing to stay..."
"If they stay voluntarily, let them continue to stay in your mansion to serve." Jiuyin waved her hand and smiled, "Since you are so honest, come."
When she heard her say "Come", the Lord Fuguo was so scared that his face suddenly turned like a dirt. He hurriedly leaned down and kowtowed his head with a thumping sound: "Send the island master, please spare me, I have already pleaded guilty, please spare me..."
"What are you panic?" Jiuyin waved her hand, glanced at the two guards, and said indifferently: "Take the Lord of Suiguo back home and return all the fertile land, gold, silver and jewelry he stolen from the people, as well as those girls, and if the girls are willing to stay, let them stay and serve."
Jiuyin's eyes fell on Lord Fuguo and smiled and said, "If you have time, Lord Fuguo will go back and count them, and come to court again tomorrow."
Lord Fuguo seemed to have never expected that he would escape like this. When he looked up at her, his eyes were a little dull.
"What? Does Lord Fuguo think this punishment is not enough?"
"No, I'll go now... I'll do it now." The Lord Fuguo kowtowed to her again. Although his legs were weak, he still barely stepped out of the court with the guards.
After they left, Jiuyin's eyes swept over the people on her head. This time, before she could speak, more than a dozen people stepped forward and took the initiative to explain to her trembling voice: "Master Island Master, I... I am also wrong..."
This time, at least two-thirds of the ministers in the court took the initiative to be honest with the crimes they committed in the past, and wrote pages of the confession, and for a whole morning, they finally collected all their crimes. Those who should send people back to retrieve their property were sent.
Later, Jiuyin ordered the fertile fields to be concentrated. She wanted to count how many fertile fields were on the entire Langya Island, and then distributed them according to the head. This time, the concentrated distribution will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some rich people.
However, the voices of dissatisfaction will definitely be covered by the sound of joy. The island is still mostly poor, and please the poor is more valuable than please the rich.
"If they swear to resist to the death, what will you stay?" Feng Chenye said indifferently in the study.
Jiuyin smiled and said, "It's okay, I will divide the rich people who already have fields in proportion."
"But you always take a lot of property in their hands."
"That's what they should pay for."
In the world of feudalism, is there anyone who has money and dares to say that their property is obtained just right? How many people's property is not exploited by the poor? The land belongs to the country and should be distributed to the people.
In the future, she had to issue an order that the people were not allowed to buy and sell fertile land in private. Any fertile land must be reported to the government government first, and only allowed to proceed after the government approved it.
"Aren't you afraid that the corrupt officials will cheat you again?" Feng Chenye said again.
"Then let's crack down again." The smile on the corner of her lips kept raising her booklets, and looked at the two of them on the table and said, "Look at whether my system is completely listed. If it is not complete, I will tell me that I will add it again. It's getting late now, so let's have a meal first."
...
After dinner, Qingyi came over as soon as he left the house and in his hand, there was an unopened letter.
Jiuyin took it, looked down and his eyebrows and eyes suddenly became bright.
Letter from the sea!
After leaving the Dongchu Imperial City, Canghai parted ways with them. He went to Daiyan Mountain to find Mu Jin and Sihai Qingyang. Until now, this was the first letter he sent.
She opened the letter and raised the letter paper inside, quickly browsed the text on it, and saw that at the end, her eyebrows and eyes were all raised up.
They came back soon and calculated the days, only three days apart!
"Ye...had he read the letter?" After asking, he realized that it was too redundant. The letter had not been opened at all. How could he peek at it?
She was really excited, even a little incoherent: "Don't let him know, don't tell him... surprise, I want to give him a surprise."
I carefully put the letter back into the envelope, pressed it on my heart, took a deep breath, and finally calmed down.
Looking at Qingyi who was still standing aside and touching her nose without saying anything, she smiled and said, "Don't tell him about this letter from Canghai in advance. I want to give him a surprise, do you understand?"
Qingyi still touched her nose, feeling a little uncertain.
If you don’t tell Prince Yi, if someone comes and the matter is broken, will he be killed by the prince?
"Don't worry, at that time, he will only be so happy that he forgets his surname. How can he have the energy to care about you?" He turned around and walked into the room. Behind him, he only threw a silly and unpretentious word: "Go ahead and go."
Qingyi had no choice but to be obedient and went to the scene.
Jiuyin returned to the room and carefully took the letter into the drawer. She thought that she would see them in three days, but when she thought about it, her heart was soft.
Baoer, her Baoer is finally going to return to her side, and she can finally hold him in her arms again.
When she sent him away, she didn't even have the chance to say "take care" to him. Although he couldn't understand it after saying it, she couldn't adapt to it at all, and Baoer was taken away.
Now Baoer is ten months old, and he will be one year old in two months...
After three days, he can return to her side...
Chapter completed!
