"If you can't pay in one lump sum, you can pay in installments."
"The market is sluggish right now, and we need these merchants to stabilize it."
Regarding serious criminals, the emperor and his minister
They insist that no one should be fined to atone for their sins.
The Pan family can atone for their sins.
That's because they were implicated and punished as a result.
Serious crimes throughout history
Most family members will be implicated.
It was common for the whole family to be implicated and exiled.
Kaifeng Prefecture, Dali Temple, and Ministry of Justice
The cases are heard separately each day.
Occasionally, cases are combined and tried together.
With each case concluded
They posted notices to announce it to the people.
On average, one person is beheaded every two days.
People are being exiled every day.
Or they might be forced into hard labor.
They were sent to nearby mines.
Not only the cases related to Wuyoudong,
Because it involves many gangs,
They also swept through the gangs along the way.
It also involves many past public security cases.
Even many veteran officials in Tokyo were not spared.
They reluctantly followed the new official to investigate the case.
As the investigation progressed, someone suddenly implicated them.
Various forms of outward compliance but inward defiance from officials
This has significantly slowed down the progress of the trial.
Since the Imperial Academy has not yet reopened
Batch after batch of imperial students,
He was temporarily transferred to serve as a clerk.
This is the only way to keep many cases in the trial.
Those involved include gang members and brokers.
It has gradually exceeded five thousand.
Moreover, more and more...
Such a severe crackdown,
Far from causing widespread panic,
On the contrary, countless ordinary people applauded and cheered.
Security in and around Tokyo
Things are getting better than ever before!
.....
"Beheading! Beheading!"
"The second son of the Pan family is going to be beheaded..."
The execution ground in Kaifeng was located in the southeastern suburbs of the city.
There were already many graves there.
Unclaimed bodies of prisoners
They can be dragged to the nearest cemetery and buried.
Unemployed or idle people,
They all rushed out of the city.
Some people were also waiting on the street.
They waited to watch the death row inmates pass by.
That's the young master of the head cloth merchant's family.
Although they cannot compare to the powerful nobles of the previous dynasty,
But it is worth it for everyone to see them off safely.
Qi Da traveled with the Second Young Master Pan.
It can be considered that they are destined to be intertwined on earth.
Unfortunately, his hair was disheveled.
His handsome face was not clearly visible.
The whole city is saying he's a handsome man.
I wonder how much of the rumor is true.
People followed the execution procession to the execution ground.
Many entertainment venues are now closed.
Watching executions has become a regular activity.
"Hair standing on end, identity check!"
"It is undoubtedly Pan Benzhong and Qi Da."
"Wait for the appointed time."
“…”
The Pan family felt this was extremely shameful.
He only sent his trusted servants.
The executioners have already been bribed.
Now they're sending money to other support staff.
To avoid making poor arrangements and causing my son more suffering.
Pan Yi stood in the crowd watching.
Before the time comes,
He then turned and left silently.
He is Pan Mei's great-grandson.
He became a prince consort twenty-two years ago.
He married Princess Xu, the youngest daughter of Emperor Shenzong of Song.
The princess died of illness eleven years ago.
He remarried a woman from the Zhao Song imperial family.
Chapter 1677 Paying to Avoid Disaster
The highest position Pan Yi held
However, he was a military officer with a nominal fifth-rank official title.
He has no real power.
He has never led a single day of military service.
The Cao, Han, and Xiang families all disbanded and relocated.
The Pan family will inevitably be next.
Pan, a prominent cloth merchant
It has nothing to do with the Pan Mei family.
But in recent years, I've had to go through many twists and turns to reconnect with distant relatives.
Now that this whole mess has happened,
This could very well become a pretext to deal with the Pan family.
Upon returning home, the servants hurried to greet him.
"My lord, the Prince of Liang summons you!"
Pan Yi was taken aback upon hearing this, then muttered to himself,
"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."
Summon them first, then deal with them.
This indicates that there is still some room for maneuver.
Just like the stories of the other three families.
If the government were to intervene directly,
The Pan family is truly finished.
Pan Yi hurriedly entered the palace.
They were ordered to wait in a side hall.
Upon entering the side hall, they discovered that Pan Gongjian was also there.
Pan Yi suddenly felt a little flustered.
Pan Gongjian was also flustered.
What's the point of summoning Pan Mei's descendants?
Those two families really have no relation!
To avoid suspicion, Pan Yi
I sat down in the very corner of the side hall.
Pan Gongjian also quickly moved to a different position.
Then, they were received at the same time.
Zhao Yuan sat in the main seat.
The two stepped forward to pay their respects.
They were each given a seat.
"I heard your two families are related?"
Zhao Yuan spoke first.
"That's absolutely not the case!"
Pan Yi and Pan Gongjian both denied it.
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "You two have quite a good understanding."
