Chapter 595 The granary is empty

With these tricks in place, if we encounter any problems, even if one or two of the people we have helped still remember our kindness and our kindness.

It's enough to leave a legacy for our family, so I won't allow anyone in our family to take advantage of others' misfortune.

Because the world is ever-changing, no one can guarantee that they will have the last laugh.

So, I hope you can keep this in mind and never forget your original intention.

I, your father, am getting older and older, and I don’t know how long I can accompany you.

Ultimately, our family still depends on you. I don't ask for our family to make further progress, I just hope that we can live in peace and stability."

"Dad, please don't say that. You're so healthy and you'll definitely be with us for many more years. Please don't say such discouraging words anymore.

You will definitely live a long life. Besides, you know that I, your son, am not a very smart person.

It’s okay that you are watching over me, but what should I do without you?

Your son has remembered everything you just said and will definitely not forget it," the Duke quickly stated.

His father is the pillar of their family, and he can't imagine how he would live without his father.

Duke Zheng looked at his son, who wasn't very bright but was still quite obedient, and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll try to live as long as possible."

To be honest, he was worried about leaving this mess to his son. His son could barely be considered a guardian.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, there must be someone watching him, otherwise he will easily be led astray.

Fortunately, my grandson looks good now and can still be well trained, but the eldest son is also like this.

Fortunately, he is filial and does not do anything wrong. This may be the biggest advantage of the eldest son.

Originally, he didn't want to say this directly, fearing that his son was too stupid and would be led astray by others, and that it would be disastrous if he thought too much.

So I said it in advance, I hope what I said today will be useful to him, and I hope I am not talking to a cow.

Let's not talk about this matter anymore.

Besides, Shen Ruyi's work is not going smoothly.

The main reason was that the previous county magistrate had ruined his career and had left a very bad impression on the people.

This led to people not trusting the imperial court at all, and they thought that these new arrivals might be even more cruel and evil.

Even though Shen Ruyi's men boiled a lot of medicine, many people in the city who were infected with the plague didn't dare to drink it at all.

They were afraid that Shen Ruyi's people were deceiving them, so they killed them to silence them.

They also didn't believe that Shen Ruyi and the others had medicine to cure the plague, and they didn't believe that Shen Ruyi and the others would be so kind.

Give them free medicine.

In the end, there was no other choice but for the person who made the medicine to serve himself a bowl, let it cool down, and drink it in big gulps. Only then did people start to be willing to try it.

Only a very small number of people are willing to try it. After taking the medicine, they don’t go home, but find a corner to sit and wait for the results.

After two hours, when they found that the person was fine, everyone began to bravely come forward to ask for medicine.

After hearing this, Shen Ruyi said that it was a sin.

This is the consequence of the collapse of credibility.

Credibility is not something that can be built overnight, but it can collapse in a moment or because of a certain word or action of a certain person.

Therefore, what Shen Ruyi has to do is not only to save these people's lives, but also to restore the broken credibility.

Rebuild and paste it back together.

Of course, the victims outside the city didn’t have so many thoughts, as they almost died once.

If it weren't for the arrival of Shen Ruyi and his group, they might have died.

So after seeing the big pots carried out of the city, these people cried with joy.

These people did not lie to them. They were really willing to take care of him and save them.

Someone was about to squeeze over and grab it, but General Huang yelled at him:

"Retreat, retreat, everyone retreat! I will kill anyone who dares to move. The knife in my hand doesn't recognize anyone.

Listen carefully, everyone has a share. Line up first. The line that is the most orderly will get the porridge first.

We'll get the porridge first, then take the medicine. Don't forget the order. If anyone dares to mess around here, I'll kill them.

If you want to feel the sharpness of my sword, you are welcome to push forward without any rules. I am waiting."

The people who were about to rush to grab things were instantly frozen and started to behave themselves.

When there is no hope, they can break the rules and let their animal nature take over.

As long as there is a hope of survival, their brains will come back online, and they will start to analyze the pros and cons and follow the rules.

Lord Lu, who took over the county government, found that the entire granary was empty and there was nothing in it.

This was outrageous, so he reported it directly to Shen Ruyi.

Shen Ruyi originally did not intend to try the family of the previous county magistrate, and planned to leave it to the next county magistrate to deal with.

It seems that this is no longer possible.

He also ordered people to arrest several officials and constables under the county magistrate.

Together with the county magistrate's family members, they will be put at the city gate for public trial.

Agree to let ordinary people watch the execution.

As soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of the whole city.

Those who were recuperating at home and felt exhausted and unable to move suddenly became unable to sit still.

Everyone left their homes and walked onto the streets to watch the excitement in high spirits.

It was as if the person who was sick and unable to move before was not them.

However, several wealthy families who were close to the county magistrate were almost frightened to death when they heard the news of the public trial.

I always feel that they are finished this time.

He sent a few servants to inquire about the news.

As a result, the place of public trial was instantly surrounded by crowds of people, with three layers of people inside and outside.

Some people even wanted to throw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs to vent their anger, but were stopped.

"What's the point of beating someone so lightly that it doesn't hurt? It's better to just wait and see how they conduct the trial.

Let’s wait until the interrogation results come out before deciding whether to throw it away.”

"Makes sense."

"The one sitting here must be that prince, right? He looks so small."

"It's really small, just a child."

"I saw it too."

Shen Ruyi sat at the very top, watching everything with a stern expression.

Confession is lenient, resistance is strict.

The only few people who were honestly recruited were just scraps of information and had no useful information at all.

Those who really know what happened are unwilling to tell the truth.

Shen Ruyi didn't waste any words, nor did she have the patience to slowly examine him, so she said directly:

"If you don't want to confess, then don't confess. I don't want to hear it right now. I will just execute you by cutting you into pieces. Don't stop until you have been cut enough times."

"Yes."

Everyone was stunned. How could they conduct a trial this way? Direct execution?

The master kneeling below said: "You have been tortured into confessing. I don't admit it. I don't accept it."

Shen Ruyi was happy. "What does it matter whether you admit it or not? As long as the king is happy, it's fine."
