Although they didn't quite understand the previous content of the imperial edict, they did understand the final appointment.
The Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a much older official than the county magistrate!
Facing the imperial edict, the government officials dared not have the slightest doubt. They all knelt down to Shen Ning and repeatedly said: "Meet the Censor."
Wu Shan and his wife never dreamed that Shen Ning was the censor. At this time, they also knelt down with everyone and shouted in confusion.
Only Lin Fangyuan's face was ashen and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
He was tied up and couldn't move even if he wanted to. Even if he wanted to kneel down, he couldn't. He could only watch everyone salute Shen Ning.
However, he knew in his heart that everything he had done was exposed in front of the imperial envoy and the censor girl who didn't know where he came from, and it was absolutely impossible to get away with it.
Shen Ning smiled slightly and made a silent gesture, and the chaotic scene quickly became quiet.
The people all looked at her, holding their breath and concentrating. No one made a sound. The place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Lin Fangyuan felt extremely angry again.
Normally when he was examining cases, the people had never been so quiet as now.
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
Shen Ning didn't look at him at all. She faced the people and said with a smile:
"Common people, you may not know what kind of official the Imperial Censor is. Now I can tell you that no matter whether you are an emperor or a commoner, as long as you violate the laws of the imperial court, I will punish you. It can be managed, it can be done!”
The people were all shocked, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"What if a high-ranking official of the imperial court broke the law?" someone among the common people muttered in a low voice.
When Shen Ning heard this, she put away the smile on her face and said seriously: "Treat everyone equally!"
The people suddenly made a buzzing sound.
"Treat everyone equally? Impossible, right? The officials of the imperial court have broken the law. Aren't they all protected by officials? How can they be treated equally?"
"Yes, only we ordinary people who break the law will be punished."
The voices of criticism among the people became even louder.
Shen Ning said with a serious face: "This censor is here to investigate these officials who protect each other. If you have such clues, just report it to me. Once verified, this censor will definitely punish you severely!"
Some of the people still couldn't help but shake their heads.
A bold person said: "This Lin Fangyuan is corrupt, perverts the law, and accepts bribes. How are you going to deal with it, Master Yushi?"
The person who spoke had a sarcastic tone, obviously looking at Shen Ning's joke.
Haha, this is a joke.
Are there any officials in this world who don’t protect each other
The people didn't believe anyone.
"Good question!"
Shen Ning glanced at the whole audience and raised her voice: "There is a county official next to Lin Fangyuan who does not want to benefit the people, but instead plunders the people's wealth, accepts bribes, and colludes with traitors. He has committed a heinous crime. This censor has ordered that Lin Fangyuan be removed from office. As the county magistrate, he will be beheaded in public until other charges are found out!”
Her voice was clear and ringing.
The people present felt a buzzing in their ears when they heard it, and many people couldn't come back to their senses.
Beheaded in public
Did they hear it correctly
Do you really want to behead corrupt official Na Lin
You must know that Lin Fangyuan preys on the common people, and the common people have long hated him to the bone, but the official level suppresses people, and they usually have no way to reason with the common people.
