Chapter 90: The Public Trial of the Murderer
The next morning, news spread throughout the City of Fire.
All the people who were kidnapped were rescued by the Zhao family, and the gangsters have been captured by the Zhao family.
The entire Flame City was in a sensation, and everyone rushed to tell each other.
And Duan Wuxian posted a notice to openly try these rioters in the square at noon.
At noon, Duan Wuxian came to the square, and he was accompanied by Annan Hou Lin Guozhong.
Li Sanchang led a group of soldiers, escorted Ma Zhanlong, Ma Bin and others to the stage and knelt on the ground.
The cultivation of the six of them has all been abolished, and now they are not even as good as ordinary people.
Everyone's face was pale, there was not a trace of blood on their faces, and they knew what was waiting for them.
Ma Bin was very remorseful at this time, if he hadn't been clever and hadn't thought about taking advantage of the reward, maybe he wouldn't have ended up like this.
And Ma Zhanlong looked at Ma Bin, his eyes were full of hatred, he was eager to swallow Ma Bin alive now.
He meets a pig-like teammate and betrays not only them, but himself.
The shouts of the audience to severely punish the murderer were higher and higher.
What they couldn't imagine was that the culprit was actually the chief of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, and everyone even hated the City Lord Duan Wuxi.
Duan Wuxian who was sitting on the stage had an extremely ugly face.
He knew that if there was a deviation today, he, the city lord, might be deposed.
But he has no choice, what happens to him depends on what Ma Zhanlong says. The rest of the people don't know each other, and they shouldn't be any threat to themselves.
"Fathers and elders, the culprit who kidnapped our people in the past few days has been captured last night. Today we are going to try this gang of murderers here, so please be quiet. ”
Duan Wuxian cleared his throat before speaking.
The audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Duan Wuxian to see how he interrogated his chief guard.
"Ma Zhanlong, as a chief of guard in the City Lord's Mansion, even I feel ashamed to do such a thing that people and gods are angry about. ”
"I want to know, who told you to do this, why on earth did you, what exactly are you doing this, what is your purpose in doing this?"
Ma Zhanlong knelt there, keeping his head down, he knew that he would definitely not have a chance to survive today.
At this time, hearing Duan Wuxian ask such a question, he raised his head and looked at the crowd under the stage, feeling desolate.
"Ma Zhanlong, the lord of this mansion asked you. I don't understand that you, as the chief of the guard, have committed such a shameless act, and you don't think about your parents and your family?
Duan Wuxian looked at Ma Zhanlong and scolded sharply.
Duan Wuxian said the righteousness of awe-inspiring, but he knew that Ma Zhanlong should be able to understand what he meant.
Ma Zhanlong heard another meaning of Duan Wuxi: "Your parents and family are in Flame City, and their lives are in my hands. ”
Since you can't survive today, then take all the things on your own and don't bother your family anymore.
Although Duan Wuxian did not directly instruct himself, this was all done under his hints.
Even if he bites Duan Wuxian now, if he dies and doesn't admit it, there is no evidence to prove that it has anything to do with him.
The best ending is to carry it by himself, hoping that Duan Wuxian can miss the old love and take care of his family.
The imagination is wonderful, but the truth is cruel. If Ma Zhanlong had knowledge under Jiuquan after his death, he would definitely not choose to trust Duan Wuxian.
"City Lord, I'm sorry for your cultivation, and I'm even more ashamed of the old folks of Flame City. No one instructed me to kidnap the people, I was blinded by hatred, all to take revenge on Zhao Fei. ”
"Oh, take revenge on Zhao Fei? You kidnapped ordinary people, why are you involved in Zhao Fei again?"
Duan Wuxian asked deliberately, he finally breathed a sigh of relief now, Ma Zhanlong was a smart person, and he took everything down.
"A few years ago, Dabi humiliated me in the ring, so I've always held a grudge against him. I've been looking for a chance to get revenge, but I've never had a chance. ”
"You have a grudge against him, so why kidnap these civilians?"
"Everyone is innocent, I just wanted to kidnap the parents of the guy in his pharmacy at that time, but considering that this is too targeted, it is easy to be found by the Zhao family. So he tied up more than 40 people who had nothing to do with him. ”
Ma Zhanlong said weakly.
"What did you do by kidnapping his guy in the shop?"
"I just wanted to create fear in people's hearts, to make the people who followed him afraid, and then they all stayed away from him and isolated him. But I didn't hurt anyone, and I hope that the city lord will forgive me for the sake of me doing things under you, I was just confused for a while. ”
Ma Zhanlong burst into tears, even though he knew that he would die if he begged for mercy, he still wanted to struggle.
"Can my subordinates pervert the law? The people of my city lord's mansion should obey the law even more. You have done such a great rebellious thing, and you want me to forgive you? Ask the people below, are they willing to forgive you?"
Duan Wuxian said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, and his face was righteous.
He knew that his level was over today, Ma Zhanlong was not confused at the critical moment, and his move to abandon the pawn and protect the commander was a success.
Later, Duan Wuxian interrogated five other people, and they all said that they didn't know the reason, so they said that Ma Zhanlong ordered them to do it.
What they said was the truth, Ma Zhanlong didn't tell them what the purpose was, everything was done according to Ma Zhanlong's instructions.
Now that the matter has come to light, the result of the interrogation did not involve Duan Wuxi, and Lin Guozhong had no way to deal with him.
Although he knew that there must be a traceless trick in this, there was no direct evidence.
Ma Zhanlong already has the intention of dying, and he will not tell the truth, so there is no point in continuing the trial.
"City Lord Duan, the truth is already clear, and the rest of the punishment will be left to you. ”
In front of hundreds of thousands of people, Duan Wuxian could no longer shield Ma Zhanlong and others, and the result could be imagined.
"I announce the punishment of the City Lord's Mansion, Ma Zhanlong and others are extremely evil, and they have done something that is indignant to people and gods, and they sentence him to be executed. Today, in front of hundreds of thousands of fathers and villagers in Flame City, Ma Zhanlong and others were beheaded for public display. ”
Hearing the verdict, Ma Zhanlong and the others sat down on the ground, and they already knew their fate the moment they were caught.
Although they had already prepared in their hearts, when this moment came, they were still frightened.
Lin Guozhong left ahead of schedule, and he returned to the Zhao family's mansion, where Zhao Fei was refining pills.
"Uncle, is the trial over there?"
"It's over, and I didn't involve Duan Wuji. Lin Guozhong was slightly disappointed.
"This is normal, if this matter was instigated by Duan Wuji, he would not have made such a childish mistake, he should not have been involved. ”
Zhao Fei looked at Lin Guozhong and said with a smile.
"If you want to say that there is no shadow of him in this, I don't believe it if you kill him. But now Ma Zhanlong is biting his tongue and not saying it, and we can't help it. ”
"Forget it, uncle, don't think about it. These small fish and shrimp can't make much waves, mainly Duan Wuxian and others. We're going to have to deal with them next, and there's definitely going to be a tough battle ahead. ”
Ma Zhanlong's six people were beheaded for public display, and everyone applauded.
Subsequently, Ma Zhanlong punished Ma Zhanlong's family with joint responsibility.
The Ma family is also a big family in Flame City, and all the Ma family members have been implicated.
The men were sent to the army, the women, the elderly, and the children were expelled from the City of Fire, and all family property was confiscated.
Usually, the relationship between the Ma family and Duan Wuxian is not bad, but in the end, they ended up with a broken family.
Duan Wuxian only wanted to do this, he didn't know if Ma Zhanlong had told the Ma family.
Only by doing this can he have peace of mind, and only by doing so can he prevent future troubles.
Duan Wuji's ruthlessness was vividly displayed, and those who were close to Duan Wuxian before shuddered.
They all understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, the Ma family is so loyal to Duan Wuxian and ends up so miserable, what about themselves?
After this incident, most of the people who had been around Duan Wuxian began to gradually distance themselves from him.
They didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Ma family, they had already seen Duan Wuji's ugly face.
"Killing Ma Zhanlong here, and immediately raiding the Ma family's home over there, this Duan Wuxian is ruthless enough. ”
Yan Xue and Yan Chengjing sat in the study and chatted, and they were deeply terrified of Duan Wuxi's methods.
"There's no better than us knowing the inside story here, I wonder if Duan Wuxian will attack us?"
Yan Chengjing began to worry, he was afraid that Duan Wuxian would kill the Yan family.
"Don't worry, he won't touch us, otherwise he won't even have a friend or helper in Flame City. Besides, there is the Liang family behind us, as long as he dares to move, I will let the Liang family destroy him. ”
Hearing Yan Xue say this, Yan Chengjing relieved himself.
"Father, pay attention to dealing with him in the future, don't get involved with him for the time being, if there is something that needs to be done, I will let Duan Chun say it. ”
Yan Chengjing nodded, he was now frightened by Duan Wuxian.
But Duan Wuxian did not buy people's hearts by doing this, and the common people were even more disgusted with him.
First of all, Ma Zhanlong and the others were not caught by him, but Zhao Fei and them. Secondly, Ma Zhanlong came from the City Lord's Mansion, and he could not escape responsibility for his subordinates to do this kind of thing.
Duan Wuxian returned to the City Lord's Mansion and angrily dropped a few teacups one after another.
"Why can't you hold your breath again? Now that you've passed safely, you should be happy. ”
Qi Dahai looked at Duan Wuxian who was out of shape, and he frowned.
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, you have to be honorable and disgraced, how can you achieve great things?"
"Brother Qi, I'm sorry, I'm just angry in my heart, and I won't take it as an example. ”
Looking at this Qi Dahai, Duan Wuxian hurriedly apologized, he knew that he had done something wrong.
"After a while, the two strange brothers of Yinshan will come back. Xue Wuji, this guy will definitely not endure this breath, you just wait and see, he will send a master over. ”
"And the Yihexuan, they won't give up. One person is missing, he must have been killed by the Zhao family, can they swallow this breath?"
"The king of Zhenbei will also choose to do it, with so many helpers, is it still a problem to take down the Zhao family? You can't control your emotions, this will ruin a big thing. ”
In the face of Qi Dahai's reprimand, Duan Wuxian apologized again and again, without the help of these people, it was simply whimsical for him to deal with Zhao Fei.
