The cases picked out by Zhou Peigong are all representative, those who disregard human life, those who forcibly occupy women from good families, and those who are involved in human trafficking. No one will question him if he cuts off his head wherever he is charged.

In order to expand the momentum, Zhou Peigong did not judge the case in the yamen, but chose the square in front of the yamen, which generally covers an area of dozens of acres, and the square in front of the door is also eight acres in size.

After each case is tried, there will be cheering voices around, these cheers will continue for many days, and the sky will get darker, and every time those bitter masters hear the result of the verdict, they will kneel on the ground and kowtow to Zhou Peigong, and shout Lord Qingtian.

For a while, Zhou Peigong became famous in central Hubei, and everyone said that the Qingguan lord who was rare in a hundred years let him meet him, and it was his blessing, and they were secretly praying that the Qingtian lord would live a long life.

In fact, a large part of the prisoners in the case were not disposed of, Zhou Peigong only investigated the facts according to the pleadings of the unjust case, sent compensation to those bitter masters, and told them that because the yamen was too busy, they could only hand over the compensation money first, and those big families had already been severely punished, and if this kind of thing happened in the future, they must go to the yamen to complain.

The fact is that a large number of people escaped punishment, because it is impossible for Zhou Peigong to arrest and kill every rich family, although not everyone has done evil things, but in this lawless environment, few people can clean themselves. It's like they can settle everything with silver, how can they have scruples and dare not do anything.

Even in peaceful days, it takes a lot of courage to arrest and kill all these people, not to mention that in this case, Zhou Peigong can only make the most beneficial choice for the Ming court, and he left a message, as long as he encounters something again, he can also sue the yamen again, there is no absolute fairness in the world.

On the one hand, the sixty percent of the neutral people were worried that they would be liquidated, and on the other hand, they wanted to make their business run quickly, so they could only smash their family money to Zhou Peigong, and Zhou Peigong also relied on them to restore the city, so he didn't embarrass them too much, but just warned sharply: "Now it is not the world of the Manchu Dynasty, but the world of my Ming Dynasty." Deceive others as if you deceive the sky, do not deceive yourself; Bearing the people is the country, how can we bear it. If you dare to do illegal things, the official's guillotine is waiting for you! ”

At this time, if they desperately made money against the people or took revenge on those who reported it, it would be a heavy blow to Zhou Peigong's reputation, so Zhou Peigong put the cruel words in front.

And all the people in the government were transferred from Chengdu Mansion by Zhou Peigong, and these people have no other benefits, that is, they have nothing to do with the big families in Hubei Province, and they will not be bought for a while, and they can be regarded as rest assured.

Cheng Xiaolian was completely relieved after seeing Zhou Peigong's work in Chengdu Mansion, this person is very stable, and his methods are excellent, with such a person sitting in central Hubei, he can also wait for the two ladies to give birth with peace of mind.

Time passed quickly, three months passed, Qin Yue's army had occupied and forced the Geng Shang coalition army into a desperate situation, and the footsteps of the Geng Shang coalition army to the south were also greatly hindered, they wanted to deal with Wu Sangui's men and horses not only from the strength of the suppression, but also from the heart of the defeat before the battle, after all, among the three feudatories, only Wu Sangui's men and horses could still fight against the Manchu iron cavalry, how dare they confront the Manchu iron cavalry.

If Qin Yue wanted to swallow the remaining Geng Shang coalition army, which was less than 20,000, he would be able to end the battle within three days, but relatively speaking, the losses would not be small, and if those people fought hard, they would definitely bite off a piece of meat from the Shanhe army. Therefore, Qin Yue plans to simmer slowly, if he can let these people and Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses die together, of course, it is the best, if not, he is not willing to touch this mold, in short, Hubei is not completely controlled in the hands of Da Ming, he has time to grind slowly.

At this time, Cheng Xiaolian was waiting for his child to be born in Chengdu Mansion, Wen Duruo and Situ Bing's due dates were in these two days, with previous experience, the people in the house were not so nervous, everyone was preparing step by step, Cheng Xiaolian was worried, with the life experience of the next generation, it was difficult for him to rest assured of these conditions, although it is now the best guarantee, but compared to the operation of the next generation, there is still a great risk.

That night, just after eating, Wen Duruo first felt a stomachache, and then Situ Bing also felt the pain, Cheng Xiaolian was shocked: "Is there something wrong with the food?" ”

"Husband, our food is absolutely fine, I'll see if it's going to give birth."

"Pass the doctor and the stable woman all over!"

The doctor only took the pulse: "Congratulations to the emperor, the lady is about to give birth!" ”

Wen Po immediately took over, with the experience of the last time, they all regarded this as a happy event, after all, as long as everything went well, a lot of silver will be in hand, and within this year, the silver for a lifetime of delivery will be earned.

It can be regarded as their luck, whether it is Mao Ruoling before, or Wen Duruo and Situ Bing, they have all practiced martial arts, so their physical fitness is not bad, which adds a layer of guarantee to production.

Because the two of them gave birth in their own courtyards, Cheng Xiaolian couldn't favor one over the other, so he could only stay in the lobby and wait for the news, Mao Ruoling had already handed over the child to the nurse, and also accompanied Cheng Xiaolian here: "Don't worry too much, my sister and sister Jiren have their own natural appearance." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded, but the anxiety in his heart was unavoidable, so he could only walk back and forth to relieve the anxiety in his heart.

Soon a maid walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, great joy." ”

Cheng Xiaolian asked eagerly, "Which lady gave birth?" Are you well? ”

"Lady, it's a prince! The lady was in good health, and the doctor said that she would be able to walk on the ground after two days of recuperation. ”

Cheng Xiaolian let out a sigh: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

Who knew that before he was halfway there, another maid ran by: "Your Majesty, I'm very happy." ”

"Is the third lady okay?"

"Well, it's a princess."

Cheng Xiaolian did not canonize these ladies, so the boy could not be called indiscriminately, he could only be called the prince. But the girl has no such scruples, she must be a princess.

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Okay, let's go see my daughter first." ”

The people present were very strange, how could the emperor go to see his daughter first? Could it be that the eldest lady is not favored and wants to make the son of the second lady the crown prince? Why did a princess make Cheng Xiaolian even happier?

Of course, Cheng Xiaolian didn't care what they thought, and when they talked about the things in this mansion, they dared to murmur to themselves in their hearts, but if they dared to spread a word, let Jinyiwei find out that it was the end of the head.
