"The great sect is running around for my clan for decades, and there are occasional small mistakes, and I hope that the saint will remember his hard work and make a big deal with it."

The person who spoke out was named Wanyan Hongying, who was originally the chief envoy of the Privy Council. Wanyan Hongying is regarded as Wanyan Kang's cousin according to his seniority, and this talent is only general in the clan, but because of Wanyan Yongji's love, he has achieved the position of the Privy Council.

Wan Yan Kang originally expected someone to come out to get a handful of Wan Yan Yongji, in his heart, Wan Yan Hongxi or Wan Yan Hongyi may be the first to come out, but he didn't expect that it was this person who came forward at this time, thinking that maybe it was because the Privy Council was almost abolished.

After reading Yan Hongying, he said lightly: "At the end of tomorrow, the public trial at noon, everyone can come and watch." ”

"Retreat!"

Wan Yankang stood up and turned to the apse. Everyone in the court retreated one after another, and went to the palace in groups, whispering about what they had seen and heard today, digesting the huge impact.

Those who can stand above the court on this day, except for Wan Yankang's cronies, are all members of the court and above the third grade. As everyone returned to their homes and spread the new rules after the new emperor ascended the throne, the whole of China was boiling.

For the young and old people in the middle capital, Wanyankang is a strange and familiar name. When the new emperor was the son of King Zhao, he tossed out such a new thing as the Football Association, which can be regarded as leading a trend of the times. It's just that in recent years, Wanyan Kang has mostly appeared in the grassland, and rarely appears in Zhongdu, and the news about him is more known to a few high-level people.

The introduction of concepts such as abolishing kneeling, restricting imperial power, and governing the country according to law has caused people of insight from all walks of life to begin to discuss.

Some people say that this move is a precedent for the ages and will be the foundation of immortality.

Some people called the move whimsical, or like Wang Mang's new policy, but it was short-lived.

Some people also say that the new emperor established the country by force, and he tied his hands and feet before the world was pacified, which is a little unwise.

And so on and so forth. By the early morning of the next day, the princes and nobles, officials, and young students who had come to observe the public trial outside the noon gate had already drained the water outside the noon gate.

The number of onlookers was so large that Gongsun Yu, who presided over the public trial, was taken aback. After asking Yan Kang, Gongsun Yu ordered officials above the fifth grade to enter the public trial, and dozens of people were randomly selected to watch the trial.

At the end of the day, under the oblique light of the autumn morning sun, in a majestic sound, Wanyan Yongji, who was dressed in a gray robe, was pushed under the public trial table in a wheelchair.

"Who's in the audience?" Gongsun Yu was shocked and shouted.

Wanyan Yongji raised his head and glanced at Gongsun Yu contemptuously: "Who is you, dare to come to judge me." ”

Gongsun Yu slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted: "Bold, where is the killing whip!" ”

With a loud shout, Mei Chaofeng swept out from the side, she reached out and grabbed the back of Yan Yongji's neck, picked it up from the wheelchair, laughed twice, and then asked Gongsun Yu: "My lord, how many whips?" ”

Most of the people present didn't know where Mei Chaofeng was, but from his thin face, dark hands, and miserable laughter, they couldn't help but feel a little chilling. And Wanyan Yongji, who was carried in her hands, only felt a seeping chill coming from her hand, and she didn't look like a living person.

Before the whip was drawn, Yan Yongji was almost out of the air.

"Six lashes first." is different from others, Gongsun Yu likes Mei Chaofeng, a ghostly character, Mei Chaofeng is here today, and he specially asked Yan Kang for it.

Mei Chaofeng smiled miserably: "Six whips are less, but it's not fun!" As she spoke, she threw Wanyan Yongji to the ground, and waved the silver whip in her right hand.

Wanyan Yongji screamed in response.

Mei Chaofeng snorted: "Useless things, my aunt didn't use any force, so she called it like this." As she spoke, she kept moving, brushed a few strokes to finish the six whips, and ducked behind the guards in a flash.

Qiu Qianren stood behind Wan Yankang, and was slightly shocked when he saw that Mei Chaofeng's whip method and body technique were extraordinary. He said in his heart that although this person's martial arts are not as good as mine, if it is really a life-and-death fight, it can be regarded as a difficult character, and I don't know where the Lord has recruited such a master.

Wanyan Yongji was whipped, lying on the ground and trembling in pain, how could he still have half a momentum. Gongsun Yu didn't let anyone help him get up, so he continued to drink and ask, "Who is in the audience?" ”

Wanyan Yongji didn't dare to provoke again, so he had to answer honestly: "The old man is Wanyan Yongji." ”

"What was your position before you were arrested?"

"The old man was originally a great Zongzheng, and he was also canonized as King Lu......" Speaking of the back, Wanyan Yongji was weak and ashamed, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

With a bang, Gongsun Yu slapped the shocked wood again: "Verify the identity, and the public trial will officially begin." Today, this court opened a public trial of the case of King Lu and Dazong Zhengwan Yan Yongji for collaborating with the enemy, embezzlement, accepting bribes, and the unknown source of a huge amount of wealth, which was presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Gongsun Yu, with His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness King Rong serving as jurors. Next, I would like to ask the Supervision Yuan to read out the indictment of Yan Yongji and present evidence. ”

An inspector stood up and began to read: "Wanyan Yongji, guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason, the main evidence of the crime is here, fifteen secret letters, please check the judge." ”

These secret letters were all copied from Wanyan Yongji's house, and Gongsun Yu had already read them. In order to go through the procedure, he swept through the letters one by one, and ordered them to be circulated to Wan Yan Kang and Wan Yan Hongxi.

After reading the secret letter, Yan Kang's face did not change.

However, after Yan Hongxi read it, his face was flushed with anger, he got up angrily, pointed at Wanyan Yongji and scolded: "Old dog, you ......"

It turns out that these secret letters are all correspondence between Wanyan Yongji and Wanyan Gang, and it can be seen from the secret letters that Wanyan Yongji has already secretly colluded with Wanyan Gang, and the old thief promised Wanyan Gang how he would respond internally if he hit Zhongdu, obviously preparing to step on two boats.

Wanyan Hongxi wanted to scold Wanyan Yongji, but after scolding for two sentences, seeing his tragic situation at the moment, he couldn't help but be speechless, and only passed the letter in his hand to the princes and ministers on the side.

Wanyan Yongji hid these secret letters in the secret room of the study, thinking that he was safe. He never thought that one day, his house would be raided.

"Wanyan Yongji, what is your justification for these letters?" Gongsun Yu asked out loud.

"The old man has some correspondence with Nan Rebellion, but he responds to it in vain and finds out some truth from the other side." Among all the crimes in Wanyan Yongji's heart, collaborating with the enemy and treason must not be recognized, so at this time, he still denied it, and put gold on his face.

Gongsun Yu was furious, and he had the heart to ask Mei Chaofeng to come out again, so that the old dog Wanyan Yongji would be completely convinced.

Wan Yankang saw his intentions and shook his head slightly: "The evidence is conclusive, there is no need to do much, you remember, torture can only be used as a last resort." ”

Gongsun Yu nodded: "Obey." Then he turned his head to the left: "Inspectorate, please continue to read the indictment." ”

"Wanyan Yongji committed the crimes of embezzlement, accepting bribes, and the crime of having a huge amount of property from unknown sources, and the testimony of Chen, Wanyan and others, the receipts of the entry and exit of military supplies, and the details of the property obtained from the raid are sufficient to confirm."

"Wanyan Yongji, what is your defense?" Gongsun Yu hurriedly swept the list of evidence, and asked again.

Regarding the so-called crimes of accepting bribes and embezzlement, Wanyan Yongji did not care at all. In his mind, which of these civil and military ministers is living on money.

In this public, take these things to talk about, aren't you afraid of the civil and military rebellion in the city!

Seeing that Yan Yongji did not answer, Gongsun Yu continued: "This court reminds you that if you choose to remain silent, you will admit the evidence presented by the supervision institute without any defense. ”

Wanyan Yongji snorted coldly, but still didn't respond.

Seeing that this person was so contemptuous, Gongsun Yu had a seizure, but remembering that Yan Kang had just mentioned that he should not be tortured at will, he suppressed the anger in his heart, turned his head to Zuo Shou and said, "Please read out the details of Yan Yongji's property." ”

The supervisor continued to read out: "The property obtained by Wanyan Yongji's family is as follows: 238 land deeds, a total of 52 houses, 123,872 acres of fertile land; gold and silver amounted to more than 10,530,000 taels; more than 5,000 horses such as Shu brocade and silk silk; All kinds of jewelry, curiosities, a total of twenty-three cars ......"

As the supervisor recited the proceeds of the seizure, the surrounding discussions began to be in an uproar, and the sound of shouting and killing came out frequently. Wanyan Yongji's face began to turn paler.

After the split of Dajin, the tax income for a year is now only equivalent to three or four million taels of silver, and what Wanyan Yongji's family has hidden is actually worth several years of Dajin's taxes!

What is the rich and rival the country!

What is the moth of the country!

Wanyan Hongyi originally wanted to find an opportunity to intercede with Wanyan Kang, but at this time he couldn't help but be a little sluggish, he thought that although Wanyan Yongji loved money, he was also a loyal elder, but he didn't expect it......

In the end, Gongsun Yu fell on the spot and made a decision against Wanyan Yongji.

At this point, no one has any objections.

Wan Yan Kang was merciful and gave Wan Yan Yongji to die without bloodshed, and also left two houses and a small amount of land for his family, but there was no way to connect them.

Everyone is gradually calm, since the new emperor is so merciful, there must be no more turmoil in Beijing.

After the trial, Wan Yankang said with a smile: "Everyone, take a slow step, I still have something to say." After Yan Yongji's conviction today, have you ever heard of the crime of unknown sources of huge amounts of property? ”

"No, I didn't."

"Justice Gongsun, you explain to everyone."

"Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, Article 28 Whoever has a wealth that clearly exceeds his income and other normal incomes shall be dismissed from office at the least, and shall be sentenced to death in the worst case. Gongsun Yu read a paragraph with a smile.

"My lord, this crime is counted from the first year of the revolution?" A smart person comes to his senses and immediately asks a crucial question.

"No, naturally, it is counted from the date of the founding of my Dajin!"

As soon as Gongsun Yu's words came out, the princes and ministers present were all shocked. Some of the timid people immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wan Yankang.

Gongsun Yu arched his hand towards Wanyan Kang, and turned to the crowd: "The Holy Lord is merciful, I can't bear to be overly harsh, I will allow you three days to settle your family wealth, and even more allow you to keep a moderate amount of land and three times your legal family wealth." From now on, everything will be done according to the law. ”

After speaking, he paused, and his tone became solemn: "Article 33, covering up, transferring, and concealing criminal proceeds, shall be fined more than one time in the lightest, and ten years in prison in the worst case. ”

Gongsun Yu mentioned it a few times, and some people present began to whisper timidly, what is this?

Wan Yankang got up and glanced around, and said loudly: "From today onwards, it will be completely abolished, and it will be posted at the city gate and all major roads immediately, and it will be distributed throughout the country. ”
