Chapter 702: Show Your Might!

point.The remaining patrol and watchmen, whether elders like Uncle Zhao or young and middle-aged people who took time out, were all awarded five work points. As for the specific number of personnel,...Chen Chuan's eyes were wide open, bloodshot and tearing. Tears mixed with blood streamed from the corners of his eyes, and his intestines were filled with regret.

He didn't know where he found the strength, desperately spitting out the straw from his mouth and hoarsely shouting, "I was wrong, I dare not again! My son's death has nothing to do with the Li family! It was my fault for being blind..."

Jia Yin coldly swept him a glance, "Chen sir, when you make a mistake, you must be punished. This is something even children know. If shouting a few words of regret could erase everything, then what's the point of law!"

Li Lao Er reached out and pulled Li Lao Si up. Li Lao Si grabbed Chen Chuan and threw him directly onto the coffin.

The village head took a shovel and went forward personally. Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si each took one, scooped up the broken soil from the edge of the pit and threw it down.

At that moment, the cries of the Chen family members grew even louder.

Chen Chuan roared in a hoarse voice, "I am an imperial official! You can't just murder me at will! You are breaking the law. Quickly take me up there, I am a fifth-rank general!"

Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si's men worked tirelessly.

Li Lao'er even chatted casually, sharing his wisdom with Chen Chuan.

"Chen, you're wrong! You brought over a hundred people and carried a coffin to Suijin Beach. Didn't you ever think that our family has titles too

"

My little niece is a princess, I am the Marquis of Zhongshan, my mother is a first-rank誥命 lady, and my younger brother is a general!

"What official rank is higher than yours What position is more prestigious But how is it that you still barge in carrying a coffin"

"After arguing for a while, the point is that it's your pet!"

When you bully others, you don't care about anything. When it's your turn to suffer the consequences, you remember that you are an imperial official!

"What's wrong with officials appointed by the court Aren't they just mouths and nostrils like everyone else At worst, we'll send your whole family on a journey together, and our family will return all titles to the court.

"These titles of left and right don't amount to much, do they Those who want to bully our Li family haven't cared about these ranks before, have they"

Chen Chuan was so speechless after being ridiculed, and just as he was stunned, a scoop of dirt was thrown onto his face, making him cough violently.

His defenses were completely shattered, and he burst into tears.

"Spare my life, oh please, Lord Ber! I beg for your mercy! I won't do it again! It was my eyes that were blinded, my heart clouded by lard! Oh please, spare my life! I don't want to die!"

With the master leading the way, all of Chen's household cried even louder.

Unfortunately, handful after handful of sand was still scattered into the pit.

Sand fell, gradually filling the space between everyone. It covered their legs, waist, chest...

In the Xin'du Imperial Palace, there was no need to attend court today. The Emperor rose early to read the memorials and then went for a stroll in the imperial gardens.

Now that plum blossoms are in bloom, summon a gentle and talented concubine to enjoy the flowers and compose poems.

But the joy didn't last long, Yi Z總 rushed over in a hurry.

That concubine was extremely shrewd. She used the excuse of picking flowers to put in a vase and left.

"Your Majesty," Yi Zong said, "There's been a small matter."

Chen Chuan's mother passed away last night. Chen Chuan and his two older brothers, perhaps overcome with grief and anger, carried Chen He's coffin and, accompanied by over a hundred old soldiers and servants, stormed into Suijin Beach to bury him at the doorstep of the Li family.

"What!" The Emperor frowned, his anger evident as he roared, "How dare he! I have already ordered the Ministry of War to investigate. Does he not trust the Ministry, or does he not trust me!"

"Suijintaan is the fiefdom of County Princess Kangle, and he forced her to bury him. This shows that he doesn't care about the county princess or the Li family at all"

"He lost a son, is that any reason to go mad"

"Even Yi Zuo was sighing, and continued, "Your Majesty speaks truly. This old slave can't understand it either. It is said that the Chen family's hundred men all carried clubs and sabers, injuring many villagers from Suijīn Tān."

"Luckily, General Li was home, otherwise Fragrant Gold Beach would have been in ruins.

"Chen Chuan forced them to bury his son's coffin in front of the Li family's gate. The Li family has no face to walk around Xin Du anymore."

Now Chen Chuan and his family were captured by General Li with the villagers. The County Princess was furious, she dug a pit to bury both Chen Chuan and his entire family.

"Your Majesty, look at this matter..."

The emperor's head ached, and he was increasingly annoyed by Chen Chuan's rashness.

Although Chen He's true cause of death hasn't been revealed to him, it is currently under investigation. Regardless of the outcome, his reckless actions and disregard for authority are unforgivable!

"This fool deserves to be buried alive!" the Emperor exclaimed, but then added, "But if he truly were buried alive, the censor's memorials would pile up on my desk again, and Fu Niuer's title and fiefdom would be in jeopardy."

He pondered for a moment and then said, "Convey my imperial decree: Chen Chuan, for barging into the estate of Princess Kangle with his coffin and behaving recklessly, is guilty beyond forgiveness. Considering that he has lost both his son and mother, his death sentence can be commuted, but he cannot escape living punishment."

Those who broke into the Suijin Beach today on behalf of the Chen family shall be sentenced to six months of hard labor at Suijin Beach. The Chen family shall compensate for any losses incurred by Suijin Beach twofold.

Yi Zongguan quickly responded, whispering, "Your Majesty is wise! In half a year, the matter of Yaochi will be clear, and by then, Chen He's cause of death can also be told to the Chen family. Today's misunderstanding will be completely resolved."

The emperor sighed and said, “I’m afraid I have to wrong the Li family again. But the overall situation is paramount, so let them vent their anger temporarily. Once the water clears and the stones settle, the Chen family will naturally have to apologize.”

Also, you should privately advise the county princess. A woman carrying the reputation of having buried hundreds alive would be more harmful than beneficial.

Master Yi promptly drafted the imperial edict and, accompanied by his men, quickly rode out of the palace, heading for Suijin Beach...

Outside the new village, the pits are still being filled.

Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si showed no mercy whatsoever. In just a short while, the sand had buried everyone up to their necks.

The entire pit, as far as the eye could see, was filled with heads. Heads that were gaping and wailing.

The scene of the eighteen hells is nothing more than this.

The idle onlookers from afar have quietly gathered, peeking stealthily.

Some people had a weak stomach and vomited after just one look.

The Li family is serious, they are not putting on a show!

At this moment, everyone was shocked by the ruthlessness of the Li family.

Old Master Liu turned his head. Mr. Wen and those young gentlemen also had grim faces, but no one spoke up to persuade him.

They have always been backing the Li family, and no matter what happens to the Li family, they will inevitably support them to the end.

And the Li family would also, absolutely have to establish their authority!

The entire Chen family had lost all hope, they couldn't even speak, they could only howl like beasts...

If they could turn back time, they would cut off their own legs to never set foot on Jinshui Beach again!

Jia Yin sat calmly, gazing at the pit of earth, struggling to suppress the unease in her heart.

Through two lifetimes, she had never killed a person.

Now that she had given the order, hundreds of lives were about to be taken. How could she possibly remain as calm as she appeared

But when facing beasts, the best way to protect yourself and your family is to kill the beast thoroughly, or... scare it so badly that it never dares to come near again!

Old Li doted on her granddaughter, treating her like the apple of her eye. She knew her granddaughter's temperament better than anyone.

At this moment, she discreetly held her granddaughter's hand under the cover of her sleeve, wanting to offer some comfort.

As expected, the granddaughter's palms were already sweaty...

"Spare his life! Spare his life!"

At this moment, Manager Yi finally arrived with his people.

Everyone subconsciously looked over!

Yi Zongguan jumped off his horse, almost falling. His old arms and legs weren't used to this kind of exertion.

He clutched the reins, gasping for breath and stammered, "My Lady, please calm down. The Emperor knows of the Chen family's rudeness and has already issued a decree for their punishment!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and knelt on the ground.he servants who make mistakes, never the masters. This applies to everyone, whether you’re superior or inferior, understand”"I understand!" Jia Yin nodded vigorously, "Everyone wants face, especially...
