"The villain is just a businessman, and with two young sisters, the younger sister is even worse in the lower half of the body, and the villain also wants to escape, but the three of us brothers and sisters, without the power to restrain the chicken, where can we escape......" Xiangao pointed to Xianyu's legs.

I saw that she was not kneeling on the ground, but lying on the ground, and her legs and feet were indeed inconvenient.

Everyone was stunned.

Xian Qing also cried when she heard this, "Please find the real murderer of my seventh brother and three hundred servants, and my brother and sister are willing to confess their guilt!"

Hearing this, Xiangao also pulled Xianyu and kowtowed together, "Please call the shots!"

What the brother and sister said did not seem to be a lie.

"Okay, then now the official will send an edict according to your words, and Captain Ao will come to the court to confront you. "Ruo Ao Zike knocked again," Xuan Ruo Ao Du Lieutenant came to the court. ”

"Mighty ——" sounded.

Ruo Ao Yuejiao strode into the court.

On top of the huge public hall, Ruo Ao Zike sat on the top and asked, "If Ao Duwei, this division is now asking you, do you admit what the brothers and sisters of the Xian clan said just now?"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao frowned and looked down at the three people in the hall, his eyes were clear, and he shook his head, "Benduwei has never seen these three brothers and sisters, how can he have business dealings with them, let alone buy homeless people from them, it's just a lot of nonsense!"

"Xiangao, Xianqing, Xianyu, what else do you three brothers and sisters have to say?" Ruo Ao Zike said as he looked at them.

"Although we have not been in contact with Ruo Ao Duwei, in the past five years, he has been doing business with my seventh brother, and every year after the flood, he will order someone to send a message to us, send the slave to the unmanned Zhuangzi outside the city designated by him, and then pay the money with one hand and the other hand, and this unmanned Zhuangzi that Chen Tingli found is the place where we deliver the goods. ”

Xingao knelt down in the hall and argued to himself, "And if the 50,000 slaves that Ao Duwei gave to the king in July this year were not from my Xian Clan's trading house, dare to ask which giant merchant in the Chu State could provide such a huge number of slaves? If it wasn't for the purpose of killing people and destroying people, then why was my Xian Clan's trading bank wiped out overnight?"

"Haha, it's funny, I haven't even seen you and your seventh brother, how can I make a deal, and why did I kill you?"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao looked at the three of them and sneered, and replied unhurriedly, "Captain Bendu did buy a large number of slaves, but they all had a definite source, not a captivity, but these slaves were not purchased from one family, but were purchased in batches by countless families for more than ten years. What's more, as an important minister of the Chu State, how could Ben Duwei know the law and break the law, and instruct others to commit such a big crime or even kill people. ”

After the words fell, he ordered someone to carry all ten boxes of slave contracts up to the lobby, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't believe it, you can verify the authenticity!"

Ruo Ziliang bowed slightly when he heard this.

If Ao Yuejiao's evidence is conclusive.

Chen Huang, who had not spoken, frowned when he saw this.

Ruo Zike looked at the three Xiangao brothers and sisters kneeling in the hall and asked, "What else do you have to say?"

"Lord Si Shi doesn't know that there are four sources of regular slaves today: one is prisoners of war, the second is criminal subordinates, the third is trading, and the fourth is that nobles become slaves. According to the market price, five regular slaves can be worth one horse and one bundle of silk, and 50,000 slaves need 10,000 horses and 10,000 silk. ”

Xiangao deserves to be a businessman.

Although he did not personally handle the matter of string seven, he clearly knew that the profit difference was more than ten times.

If you buy such a slave who has been taken by force from an improper way, the original market price of one horse and a bundle of silk can be exchanged for five slaves, but now it can be exchanged for fifty slaves.

In the back hall, Mi Huang finally nodded lightly when he heard this.

Ling Yin Zi looked bad.

"If I have subordinate states such as Chao State, Shu State, and Zong State under the Ao Clan, and I pay countless tributes and taxes every year, as well as countless fields, how can my wealth be calculated?"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao looked at the string high with disdain, and then raised his big hand and pointed to the two palaces of Phoenix Mountain and said, "Not to mention far away, just like on Phoenix Mountain, my second brother built the Phoenix Mountain Palace for the princess, how is it worth ten thousand horses and ten thousand silk?

Hearing him say this, he finally frowned.

If you talk about wealth, in the Chu State, if there is really no one in the Ao clan who can come out on the right.

He had nothing to refute.

Because no one would dare to find out about Ruo Ao's family.

Ruo Zike held the yellow rosewood in his hand and knocked heavily on the judgment table, and finally said unhappily, "I saw that the three of your brothers and sisters took the initiative to surrender, and their words were sincere, looking at your color, it doesn't seem to be fake, and their heart to obey the law can be seen, but now you mean that the important ministers of my Chu State have imprisoned 50,000 slaves first, and killed people later.

We asked you if you had any solid evidence, and you said you did, but you couldn't show it.

Is this a crime of false accusation?

Selling 50,000 people is the greatest sin of the dead.

China's laws have long been prohibited, and major crimes such as group robbery, theft, killing and injuring people, and stealing graves are even more serious, and you claim to have sold 50,000 people from our Chu State, and the population loss caused to our Chu State is even more irreparable.

If it weren't for the three of your brothers and sisters who voluntarily surrendered, we would have sentenced you to death on the spot, rather than a suspended sentence.

But what you say is not true, are you not deceiving your own officials and not arguing between truth and falsehood?"

"Come on, drag the three of them down and beat them up again until they tell the truth. ”

Draw out the order lot, if Ao Zike throws it.

Suddenly, the officials on both sides swarmed up, wanting to drag the three of them down and hit the thirty boards first.

"Please give me a few more days! The three of us brothers and sisters are willing to let the three staff members who are on the run come and surrender as soon as possible, and they have all the transaction documents between us and Ruo Ao Duwei in the past five years. ”

Hearing this, Xingao's face turned pale, pursed his lips, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to plead.

Xianqing Xianyu also begged together in fear, "Please believe us, although we are profiteers, we are not treacherous people, and we will never do such a dirty thing." ”

Chen Huang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke, "What do you decree them to show up and surrender?"

"The three of them are the servants of my Xian clan for generations, and when they see my brothers and sisters in trouble, they will definitely not see us being wronged to death. Xian Gao looked at Chen Huang and replied.

Chen Huang shook his head when he heard this, and then turned to look at Ruo Ao Zike, "Lord Si Luo, since the evidence is insufficient for the time being, this case is serious, and it involves Ruo Ao Duwei, so it cannot be easily decided, and the three brothers and sisters of Xiangao are Zheng Guo's giant businessmen, so they should first submit the situation of this case to Zheng Guo before being convicted, it is better to have a few more days of grace before the trial." ”

When Ao Zike heard this, he looked at the third division of the jury and asked, "What do the three adults think?" Or should they first sentence the Xian brothers and sisters and all their subordinates to death, and then ask for beheading! In short, they can't escape the crime of selling a little. ”

Ruo Ao Ziliang and Lao Situ glanced at each other, their eyes hesitated at the same time, worried that if they were late, they would change, and said together, "It's only seven days at most!"

"Yes, after seven days, if there is no result, according to today's judgment, the two crimes will be punished together!"

The old Si Kou also nodded, "What the two adults said is fair. ”

If Ao Zike was noncommittal about the decision of the three old guys, he looked at the three Xiangao brothers and sisters kneeling on the ground with a hint of banter, and got up unhurriedly and said, "Then this case will be withdrawn from the court today, and if there is no new evidence in seven days, it will be punished for the crime of false accusation and the crime of sloppy betrayal, and the autumn queen will be beheaded! Submit the case to Zheng Guoshang truthfully, and recover the missing displaced people from our country to them!"

"Mighty!"

"Quit!"

Today's news, lost the lawsuit.

The three brothers and sisters were imprisoned again, and everyone outside the gate, especially the bereaved civilians, silently looked at Ruo Ao Yuejiao, who was wearing a black cloak of Captain Huben, with a normal expression, and even walked out of the gate of the Criminal Prison Division with a disdainful smile on his face, as if nothing happened.

The soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, as well as the entourage of Ruo Ao's three divisions, were all waiting for him respectfully outside, "Lord Duwei, you are out!"

Ruo Ao Ziliang's canopy carriage and Ruo Ao Yuejiao's BMW had already been led to the door, and when they came out, someone had already quickly put up the ladder stool, or knelt on the ground and waited for them to get into the car or get on the horse.

Situ Nan, who was released earlier, had been waiting for a long time, and drove forward with a smile, and said with a smile, "Boss!"

"Well, it looks like I've been in prison for the past two days!"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao saw that he was refreshed and smiled, stepped on the horseman's back, turned over and got on the horse, "Let's go, let's go back to the Duwei Office!"

"Yes!"

Situ Nan smiled and followed.

Old Situ wanted to stop Situ Nan, but seeing that Ruo Ao Yuejiao had already spoken, he could only instruct loudly, "Go home for me when I get off duty today, I have something to say to you." ”

Situ Nan pursed his lips slightly.

There was no promise, and there was no refusal.

Ruo Ao Ziliang, Lao Situ, and Lao Si Kou also got into the car one after another, and suddenly the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division held their halberds to the ground and shouted, "All the idle people and others give in, Lord Sima, Lord Situ, and Lord Si Kou go home!"

Two long dragons guarded the chariots and horses in the middle, and the people standing in front of the door of the Criminal Prison Division were unwilling to be pushed back by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division with a long halberd, and watched this scene silently.

These children of the noble family who committed crimes were easily released one by one and got away with it, although the Zheng Guo businessmen who were accomplices were also hateful, but in comparison, they seemed a little pitiful, and they were slaughtered all over the house, and they had to bear all the charges.

The people's eyes were red and swollen, as if there was a sharp thorn in their eyes, the thorn was extremely red, and the emotions that had been suppressed for many days reached a peak.

Dare to be angry but dare not speak.

When they were far away, I don't know who started to scold Ruo Ao's lawlessness from small to loud, and the officials protected each other, even if it was useless, venting the anger in their hearts that had nowhere to vent.

Xiao Wu Xiaoliu looked at the shopkeeper with red eyes hesitantly, "Shopkeeper ......"

Xiao Si scolded angrily in a low voice, "The court of this Chu State is indeed opened by the Ruo Ao clan. ”

"Alas, I said a long time ago that there is no good person in this court, since we are pinning our hopes on a court from a poor family, after all, it is a vain dream! Unless it is a right disciple who comes back...... the old man shook his head and sighed.

"What is it for the sake of the Chu State to go north, it is simply their own family, who cares about the lives of so many of our people, and the lives of our relatives who have been sent to the battlefield!"

"Yes, not for us at all. ”

"It's for their own sake!"

……

On the east corner tower of the Criminal Prison Division, a gust of cold wind blew through the yellow bell hanging on the corner tower, swaying slightly, and emitting bursts of whimpering bells, all of which were lost in the angry scolding of the people on the long street.

A heavy shadow falling from a corner of the eaves obscured the figures of the two men, casting a deep shadow of light and darkness on them.

None of the people below could see their expressions clearly.

A slender and tall figure slowly turned around, revealing her bulging abdomen, and looked deeply at the middle-aged Ling Yin on the side and said, "Lord Ling Yin, have you heard what the people outside say about your Ruo Ao clan?" Ziyan fought outside and fought bravely to kill the enemy, but no matter how great his merits were, none of the people standing below remembered his good ...... Is that what we want to see?"

"But what is it for?"

"Is it all because Ruo Ao Yuejiao is alone?"

When the words fell, the woman left her doubts to Ling Yinzi, held the hand of Si Qin, who was standing on the side, and walked down the corner tower first.

Chen Huang waited under the corner tower, looking depressed, although they had long known that Situ Nan's release would cause the anger of the people, but they still did not expect it to be so unlovable.

"Lady, it's noisy outside now. ”

"I know, but we've got another seven more days!" said Huang Man's eyes were sinky.

For seven days, she didn't know if Ruo Ao Yuejiao would keep her promise and whether Cheng Jia would return safely, but Situ Nan and Ruo Ao Yuejiao, she would definitely not let go.

A faint ray of light leaked through the cyan tile, making Yin Zi's shadow that fell to the ground at this time extremely dark.

Ling Yin Ziyan had been standing alone on the corner tower, listening to these voices one after another, looking at the people who had been holding green vegetables and stones and throwing them at the gate of the Criminal Prison Division, and suddenly walked down the stairs and walked out of the Criminal Prison Division with a calm step.

Originally, the discussion outside the gate and the scolding suddenly stopped.

All the people took a step back in fear, and some of the people who were far away had turned and hid in the alley.

Ling Yinzi, dressed in a five-tailed phoenix court uniform, paused, stood on the gate and looked down at everyone and said slowly, "For the disappearance of the homeless, this Yin is really very sad as Ling Yin, and I am deeply indebted to this case involving my Ruo Ao clan. But our ancestors until my son-like generation, followed the king and even the king of Wu to expand the territory, the kingdom of the king, each generation of our abide by the "double Ao covenant" in the principle of being a minister, no one can erase our glory, history will finally prove that our Ruo Ao clan is not the sinner of the Chu country, but the greatest hero of this country. ”
