Although Zhao Kuo has made a conclusion on the case this time, in line with the principle of fairness, justice and openness, Zhao Kuo still ordered Mao Sui and others to assist in investigating all the facts of Zhang Xiaodong and Lu Yu first.

It was at this time that the large group of soldiers who were originally abandoned by Zhao Kuo had already arrived in Juchao City.

So of course Zhao Kuo didn't say nonsense, so he immediately let the large number of officials accompanying him join in this investigation.

This investigation doesn't matter, the investigation is also very shocking.

More than 50 million in cash and various treasures were found from Zhang Xiaodong's mansion.

In Lu Yu's Lu family mansion, there is also a lot of cash, and there is also a whole large box and at least a few thousand IOUs.

The amounts of these IOUs vary, but almost every line is a loan shark.

According to the confession of people in the Lu family, only a small number of these IOUs were lucky enough to repay their debts, and most of them were completely involved in usury and eventually became slaves of the Lu family.

If all the principal and interest amounts of these IOUs are calculated, they can exceed 400 million yuan, which is definitely a very shocking number.

In addition, Fan Zeng's revelation was also proved to be true and effective. A large number of weapons and armor curse were found in the Lu family manor. Most of these weapons and armor continents were secretly created by the Lu family.

According to the confessions of some people in the Lu family, the construction of these weapons and armor was to protect themselves at some times, and on the other hand, it was not ruled out that it was to raise an army and cause chaos.

In addition, in Juchaocheng, there were a large number of officials colluding with Zhang Xiaodong and the Lu family. Zhao Kuo also showed no mercy and arrested all the officials involved and went to jail.

Looking at the dense files in his hands, Zhao Kuo's face gradually became gloomy.

In front of Zhao Kuo, a large number of officials from the Han Dynasty also lowered their heads, for fear of becoming the target of His Majesty the Emperor's anger.

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "This matter should be widely announced and announced to every city in our Han Dynasty, so that all officials can learn from it.

When a mere small Juchao City can create such a large corruption case, local stubborn forces like the Lu family can appear. I think this is something that everyone needs to reflect on.

Why does our system not work in front of such people?

It is because some of us like to protect each other by officials. We already know that some people are corruption and oppressing the people, but they turn a blind eye to it for the sake of their colleagues.

We should not only crack down on corrupt officials and local bullies like Zhang Xiaodong and Lu Yu, but also be alert to those who like to protect each other and punish them as necessary.

Only in this way can our Han Kingdom truly maintain long-term stability, and the people of the Han Kingdom can truly feel at ease with our comrades, and be willing to truly support us and serve the Han Kingdom.

I will continue to send orders to me.

Zhang Xiaodong and Lu Yu are of very bad natures, so their original beheadings were changed to five horses to dismember them.

As for Zhang Xiaodong and Lu Yu's tribe members, except for minors, all male tribe members were beheaded, and the others were exiled to Lingnan according to the previous verdict."

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, all the officials of the Han Dynasty present also changed their expressions.

Zhao Kuo's conviction can be said to be extremely severe, reaching the upper limit of punishment stipulated by law.

Although Zhao Kuo did not use the emperor's power to break through the legal provisions, it was precisely because of this that the officials of the Han Dynasty present were even more afraid.

Because this represents the future. If anyone else present violates the law, Zhao Kuo, as the emperor, would not be able to use the emperor's power to violate the law to forgive these officials.

Zhao Kuo's decision was quickly announced. Compared with the fear of the officials, the people clapped and praised after hearing this decision.

"That's great, Zhang Xiaodong, a corrupt official, has finally been sanctioned."

"The bully Lu Yu finally hit the iron plate, and His Majesty personally took action to clean them up."

"Everyone of the people in the Lu family is extremely vicious. At least hundreds of people died in our Juchaocheng City. Now they have been removed. This is definitely the luck of our Juchao people."

"After all, it is because of Your Majesty's wisdom. If it weren't for Your Majesty's justice for us, how could we have a day to make a comeback?"

"In the past, there would never be anyone who could help deal with corrupt officials like Zhang Xiaodong and bullies like Lu Yu. Only in the Han Dynasty can this be done."

"I'm right. Please don't call me Chu people from now on, please call me Han people."

After the trial of such a case, the whole Han Dynasty had completely turned to the hearts of the people in the city.

From now on, this place will become one of the most loyal support places of the Han Dynasty.

After hearing these remarks reported from the Intelligence Department, Zhao Kuo was also a little moved.

The people are actually very simple. If you treat them well, they will naturally support you from the bottom of their hearts and even sacrifice their lives.

However, in history, there were many officials and rulers who were greedy and unsatisfied, exploiting the people to death, and even not treating the people as human beings at all.

If such officials and rulers are not overthrown, that is a real strange thing.

Beside Zhao Kuo, Tian Wan stared at Zhao Kuo, with admiration on her face.

"It is really a blessing for the world to do such a great thing for the people living in the Cangcheng."

Zhao Kuo smiled, and suddenly felt the desire to play a prank in his heart, and said to Tian Wan: "Then is it a blessing for the world to have a husband like me?"

Tian Wan was stunned for a moment, then her smile turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty is such a bad person."

But then, Tian Wan said softly again: "Being able to marry Your Majesty is indeed a blessing that I will never be able to cultivate in my lifetime."

Zhao Kuo laughed and picked up Tian Wan.

"Since it's a blessing, let's enjoy such blessings."

………………………The day for the execution of Zhang Xiaodong, Lu Yu and others has finally arrived.

The notice was announced early, not only Juchaocheng, but also the people in nearby cities knew about it.

On this day, living in Chaocheng, there were countless people rushing to the execution ground, just to witness the demise of Zhang Xiaodong, a corrupt official and Lu Yu, a bully.

As the emperor, Zhao Kuo also attended the scene in person.

He just wanted to put forward an attitude so that everyone knew that the Han Dynasty had never had such a living space for corrupt officials and bullies. As long as one was discovered, he would attack the other, and completely let these damn guys withdraw from the stage of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing that the time had come, the prison officer stood up respectfully. After obtaining Zhao Kuo's permission, he threw the token in his hand directly to the ground.

"Come on, bring all the prisoners up and dismember the five horses."

Several strong soldiers immediately brought Lu Yu and Zhang Xiaodong up, and the 10 horses were already ready.

Then the soldiers tied Lu Yu and Zhang Xiaodong up, and his limbs and neck were tightly wrapped with ropes, each of which corresponded to a horse.

Then the inspector gave another order, and ten horses headed in different directions at the same time. The combination of corrupt officials and bullies Lu Yu and Zhang Xiaodong was immediately dismembered by five horses.

After seeing this scene, all the people present immediately cheered loudly.

"It's really great, the Han Dynasty is mighty."

"Your Majesty is really wise."

"Dad, did you see it in the sky?

Lu Yu and Zhang Xiaodong were finally punished as they deserved.”

After Lu Yu and Zhang Xiaodong were executed and dismembered, many of Lu Yu and Zhang Xiaodong's subordinates, as well as their tribe members, were taken to the execution ground one after another.

After seeing the fate of Lu Yu and Zhang Xiaodong, these tribe followers and tribe members were already scared and weak all over. Some people couldn't stand straight and were forcibly dragged up.

Some people simply cried loudly and begged for mercy in various ways. Some people were even scared to the point of being so scared that they were all pissed and urinated, and all kinds of ugly things were everywhere.

Zhao Kuo looked at this scene calmly, without any pity in his mind.

None of the people who can be sentenced to death are innocent. What's the use of doing this now?

Thinking about the victims who were destroyed by their family, Zhao Kuo found that his heart was as hard as iron and stone, and he was even impatient to wait for the moment when the beheading came.

The executioner raised the butcher knife high and then fell down with force. A head fell to the ground. The onlookers immediately cheered loudly.

Beside Zhao Kuo, several princes of the Han Kingdom standing were shocked and frightened as they looked at this scene.

Zhao Kuo said to the sons around him lightly: "Remember, if you violate the law in the future, you will also end up like this.

I have many children, and it is not that important to lose one or two.

But if the law is violated and the prisoners cannot be punished, then my country will be over!"

Zhao Kuo actually said this on purpose, but judging from the princes' reactions and expressions, these words should have a very profound effect.

Things like childhood shadows can sometimes cause lifelong personality defects, but sometimes they can also cause lifelong alertness! What makes Zhao Kuo feel more gratified is that although these sons are still young, they all stand firm and have watched the entire execution process.

During the execution process, the cheers of the people were also rising and falling.

Relieve it! In addition to the princes, all the officials of the Han Dynasty who followed Zhao Kuo on tour also witnessed all this with their own eyes.

Seeing these dozens of officials and hundreds of noble family members being beheaded, it is absolutely fake to say that these officials from the Han Dynasty were not touched at all.

This kind of touch is not a bad thing for them. Only by respecting the power in their hands and using it carefully can they truly go further on the road of officialdom.

After the beheading was completed, Zhao Kuo stood up.

At this moment, the people in the audience suddenly knelt down at Zhao Kuo and shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

This is the heartfelt cheer of tens of thousands of ordinary people living in the city.

In their hearts, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the ancient sages were all over the world, and the Chu State had long become history.

Only the Han Kingdom and only His Majesty the Emperor are the ones who can compare with the gods in their hearts! Facing these tens of thousands of ordinary people, even Zhao Kuo, who had long been used to seeing thousands of troops, still felt excited in his heart.

What is the heart of the people?

This is the people's heart! Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, raised his hands and pressed it down, and everyone present suddenly became silent.

Zhao Kuo spoke slowly.
