"Dad is going out in new clothes, is it going to be the New Year?"

"Yes, today is a good day, better than the New Year!"

"Then I'm going too!"

"Don't mix it up, my dad was elected as a representative, do you understand? Go and watch the trial! The emperor is here, understand? ”

“……”

"Husband, what are you doing with your father-in-law's spirit card? Didn't you go to the trial? ”

"I just want my father and mother to hear with their own ears in the spirit of heaven, who killed them all!"

“……”

"Those damn profiteers will definitely be Lingchi, you guys are clever, you must grab a few pieces of meat."

"That's for sure, and those prisoners, too."

"Zhuang is hungry for meat, laughing and thirsty for profiteers' blood!"

“……”

In short, most of the people in the capital have been waiting for this day for a long time, and they went out early in the morning with a hello.

The crowd was like droplets, gathering into a stream, and finally flowing into the sea of people on the other side of the noon gate.

However, on the side of the noon gate, because the emperor wanted to personally try the case, not only the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were already under martial law, but also close to the Forbidden City, they even dispatched the Yongwei Battalion and the Jinyi Guard.

Those who have not been elected as observer deputies, whether they have money or not, have power or not, can only watch from a distance outside the separation line. Those who attend the meeting will be placed in the venue after strict inspection, and will arrive at the designated place to wait.

Outside the isolation line, before the time came, most people were whispering, whispering about today's grand occasion.

"In the past, the arrest of the leader of the traitors was not as grand as it is today, and this public trial is even more unheard of, do you know why?"

"Needless to say, it must be because these traitors are even more hated for their rebellion this time!"

"By the way, even if there was a rebellion in the southwest and a rebellion of King Ning in the Zhengde period before, at most it was just a temple. There has never been a public trial like today. Not only because of these Jin merchants, but also because of the construction of the calamity to us, there is another reason, do you know? "Fastest update on PC:/

"What else is the reason? If you have something to say, say it quickly, what are you doing in Tibet? ”

"You're boring! Actually, I'm telling you, it's because some rich people don't believe it, and insist that the court has no money, and they frame the rich Jin merchants. In order to set the record straight, there is today's public trial. ”

"Who the fuck is talking nonsense? Ming Pao said it clearly, can you make it up? ”

"No matter how clearly it is said in the Ming Bao, it is not as convincing as the public trial, right?"

"That's just as well! But if you really want to talk about it, in the past few months, the imperial court has continuously raided the house, I will do the math, there is Wang Dehua, the former celebrant and the eunuch of Dongchang, the eunuch Wang Dehua, the eunuch of the imperial horse and the eunuch Wang Xinxin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Yangxing, and the Jiading Bofu, right? ”

"Of course, there is also Zhu Chunchen of the Chengguo Mansion, by the way, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, and Wu Changshi of the Ministry of Officials, ......"

"Hey, if you count it like this, the imperial court really has to raid countless homes...... No wonder some people think that! ”

When the people in the square whispered about this, the voices were lowered. However, they were bored, and the topic was very attractive to them, so many people continued to chat.

"The court doesn't collect taxes anymore, where does this money come from? Look, how can tax collection come quickly! ”

"Yes, during this time, the imperial court has really made a fortune!"

"That's right, otherwise, where will the money come from to settle the soldiers and civilians in Liaodong? Where did the money come from to reorganize the Beijing camp and pay the army? ”

"But the money from the house will be spent one day, right? What to do then? ”

"So, those rich people are worried, what if the court has no money and is targeted by the court?"

"But you can't say that, which of those who were raided didn't deserve it? Those rich people are not afraid of shadows as long as they are upright, what are they afraid of? ”

"That's why this time it's going to be a public trial! Not only to show us, but also to spread to the south, where there are more rich people, and they are more worried. ”

"It makes sense, even if there is no public trial, it is clearly stated in the Ming Pao, and it is natural to believe in the imperial court. However, it is difficult to say in the south, but once the public trial is over, will the southerners still dare to distort the facts? ”

"Not to mention, many of the people who spread rumors in Beijing are southerners. They even secretly said that these things were all done by Xingguo Gong! It is said that the reason why Xingguo Gong won the emperor's favor is because he can save money for the court without hurting the people! And the imperial court is now short of money, no, it's on the right eye! ”

"Well, it seems to be true."

"So, some people are slandering the rejuvenation of the country! said that he would only raid his house, and he would not know anything else, that is, the Ming Dynasty's Lai Junchen, who was a cool official who had never been seen in previous dynasties! ”

“……”

When it came to Zhang Mingwei, the discussion in the crowd was polarized.

To sum up, ordinary people who have no money and no power will generally refute this statement, and the example is nothing more than Zhang Mingwei's previous handling of refugees.

And those who have money and power, many agree with this point of view, thinking that Zhang Mingwei knows how to raid the house!

When the crowd began to argue around Xingguo Gong, they suddenly didn't know who they heard shouting: "Coming, coming!" ”

Hearing this, everyone spontaneously stopped talking and looked up one after another.

I saw that on the road from the prison of the Criminal Department, a group of soldiers were escorting prisoner carts over.

When the so-called enemies see each other, they are very red-eyed.

The appearance of Jin Shang and Jianyu immediately put the topic of Xingguo Gong behind. Their eyes, all of them were like real swords, stabbing at the people in the prisoner car, stabbing them three times and six holes.

The eight Jin merchants on the prisoner car, when they faced the anger of the people again, couldn't help but tremble.

They've seen this kind of formation before!

If it is said that they smuggled things strictly forbidden by the imperial court to Liaodong from the beginning and provided news, they knew that the imperial court would not let them go. They are mentally prepared for this.

However, in the face of the "welcome of the people of Beijing", the "enthusiasm" that rushed over was really far beyond their expectations.

What's going on? Where are the people? What happened?

Really, they're all confused!

When they were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, because it was the emperor who wanted to be tried publicly, those prison guards did not insult them, but from their words and deeds, they also showed a strong hatred. This makes the eight major Jin merchants even more puzzled!

So many people are unknown, why do you hate yourself so much?

As far as they think, what they do is at most hated by the court and the emperor, but now this situation, what's wrong?

They naturally didn't know that Zhang Mingwei used the writing he practiced in code characters to show the harm of these Jin merchants and the direct and indirect consequences caused by them in front of the world.

No, when watching these Jin merchants' prisoner cars coming, this time, someone finally began to scold loudly and angrily, instead of spitting. After all, there is only one time to scold, and there will definitely be no chance to scold again after the public trial.

At this time, when the eight great Jin merchants heard their scolding, and saw that someone was even holding a spirit card and scolding them, they suddenly understood. But in this way, they are a little dumbfounded. Is this a scolding of thousands of people, and it will be stinking for 10,000 years?

Even the legendary Qin Hui couple who knelt in the temple of Lin'an Yue Wang, it is estimated that they have not "enjoyed" such treatment, right? Looking at this posture, it is likely that the final result will be worse than that of Qin Hui and his wife?

Thinking of this consequence, these Jin merchants, who had already had the consciousness of death, suddenly shuddered.

If it was just death, they definitely thought that if they did something to capture them, if they were discovered by the imperial court, they would definitely be unable to escape death. Even the whole family is psychologically prepared for the funeral.

However, even after death, it is still the kind that has been stinking for thousands of years, and it is even worse than Qin Hui and his wife, they probably didn't think about it in advance.

But at this moment, whether they have thought about it or not, it doesn't matter anymore.

In the midst of the scolding of 10,000 people, three cannons rang out, and hundreds of civil and military officials were seen lining up from the Forbidden City and standing under the Forbidden City. Needless to say, this is a prelude to the imminent start of the public trial.

Sure enough, the soldiers who maintained order began to shout loudly, making the noon gate square silent.

The Eight Great Jin Merchants got this opportunity and finally took a breath, but they found that what kind of scene was this, why was it such a big scene, I didn't understand?

In their surprise, even Emperor Chongzhen came out.

When the voice of "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live" sounded in the square, it once again shook the eight Jin merchants.

This kind of scene, if the end can be better than Qin Hui and his wife, unless the sun comes out of the west!

And Emperor Chongzhen was in the opposite mood with them, facing the sound of the mountains shouting like a tsunami, watching so many people saluting him, seriously, he liked this scene.

"Sir's idea of a public trial is really good!" Before Emperor Chongzhen waited for the public trial to begin, he had already made up his mind in his heart.

Next, naturally, Emperor Chongzhen began to try the eight Jin merchants in accordance with the public trial matters arranged by Zhang Mingwei for him.

In front of so many people, showing the majesty of the emperor, exposing the tumor on the Ming Dynasty to the public, and then killing them, winning the support of so many people, to be honest, Emperor Chongzhen is very devoted.

There was Huang Yunfa's confession first, and there was a carload of physical evidence, and more importantly, when these Jin merchants were arrested, they were also arrested together with the Jianyu sent by Liaodong to contact.

Not to mention, even if the eight major Jin merchants refused to admit their guilt, some of them would admit their guilt. For example, the wife and children who were heartbroken by Fan Yongdou and so on.

This public trial is not because the facts of the crime are unclear, but for the purpose of making it public, arousing the people's resentment against the criminals and their gratitude to the court.

After the whole process was completed, Zhang Mingwei, who had been standing behind Emperor Chongzhen, walked to the front desk. Obviously, he had something to say.
