In the early morning of the fifth day of the seventh month of the fifteenth year of Yongzhi, it is advisable to enter the house and open the market.

The Guangde Mansion was already heavily guarded at this time, indicating that something big would happen today.

A large number of officials were on duty outside the government office, and there were even Jinyi guards who led their subordinates to patrol back and forth on the streets.

Although there are not many people in the government office area, it is only compared to the busy southern city, and there are actually many people on the street.

In fact, according to Zhou Wenzhu's idea, the people on the street should be driven away directly, so that the safety factor can be improved by several grades.

But this proposal didn't pass with the bigwigs, what they wanted was to make a move, and to drive the people away was to drive the audience away.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting was on duty on the left side of the entrance of the lobby of Guangde Mansion, and Zhang Ertie and others stood behind him.

Opposite him, also on the right side of the entrance of the government hall, there was another school captain, who came from Luyang with Shen Yue of Qianhu.

At the entrance of the lobby, in addition to the people of the brocade guards, there are also ten officials holding killing sticks, which can be described as heavily guarded.

In the lobby, there are seven officials standing on each side, holding sticks and pestles on the ground.

There is a prefect's case in the lobby, and the plaque of "the sun and the moon rises in the sea" is hung on it, and the majesty is self-evident.

"I'm really sleepy, I'll send a pillow when I come, and this location at the door is just right!" Chen Xiaoting said secretly in his heart.

But what made Chen Xiaoting cry and laugh was that when Zhang Zhenshan told him the news, he also told him that he got this opportunity because he was tall.

To put it simply, Chen Xiaoting relied on "appearance" to eat this time.

Originally, the Jinyi guards in the hall of the government were all arranged by Shen Yue's cronies brought from Luyang, and Zhou Wenzhu shoehorned Chen Xiaoting in order to increase his face for the hundred households in Guangde.

Rely on your appearance, as long as you can get things done...... Looking at the unkind gaze on the other side, Chen Xiaoting said secretly in his heart.

As time passed, when the first rays of the sun entered the hall of the palace, a dull drum beat sounded outside the palace.

Today, no one is beating the drum, which is a signal that the church is about to be promoted.

Sure enough, at the head of the government hall, after the head of the torture room of the Guangde prefect's yamen was in place, he shouted with majesty: "Ascend to the ...... court"

When the officials below received the order, they all shouted in unison: "Mighty ......"

The frequency of the drums became faster, and suddenly the beating stopped, and the officials in the hall stopped their movements.

The entire mansion changed from noisy to extremely quiet in a second, which made Chen Xiaoting also affected by the atmosphere, and adjusted his body shape to make himself stand taller.

The drums fell, and the bigwigs who had been resting and waiting in the second hall of the government also walked to the lobby accompanied by the officials.

The first to appear in the lobby was Li Changshan, the prefect of Guangde, who was over fifty years old, and could not see the slightest old age under the cover of official authority.

The second person to appear is still a civil official, who is the same as Qian Shoude for Guangde Mansion, and he looks like a rich man with a smile on his face.

The person who appeared after these two people was Shen Yue, the deputy of the Thousand Households of Yongxi Thousand Households, and this was also the first time Chen Xiaoting had seen this Thousand Households Lord.

Shen Yue is Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old today, and when he is in the prime of life, he wears a dark purple unicorn pattern official uniform, and he walks to give people a great sense of oppression.

After the three of them entered the yamen hall, Li Changshan sat in the middle of the main seat, and he personally interrogated this hall today.

Shen Yue and Qian Shoude sat on the left and right, waiting for Li Changshan to announce the start of the public trial.

The three bigwigs sat there without saying a word, and the momentum was like substance, which made the hearts of everyone inside and outside the hall beat faster.

"The Holy Lord is coming, the virtuous ministers are in the court, I am the Ming Dynasty and the people are safe......"

As soon as Li Changshan opened his mouth, he was gushing, and although what he said was concise, it was neat and tidy, so that Chen Xiaoting listened carefully.

Li Changshan's words mean one thing, now the court is full of Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers, and the world is stable and peaceful...... But at this time, the White Lotus Sect traitors were rampant, which can be described as heinous.

"Today, I will be promoted to the court, and the public trial of the White Lotus Sect traitor Gao Shijie will only count his crimes...... With the law of the king! Li Changshan said coldly.

"Bring someone to commit ......," Li Changshan immediately ordered.

When the head of the torture room heard the order, he shouted loudly: "Lead someone to commit Gao Shijie...... Go to class! ”

The officials below shouted together, and the sound gushed out from the lobby, Chen Xiaoting was afraid that the hall of the government would be collapsed by these people.

After a while, the sound of chains dragging came from the left corridor outside the lobby.

Under the escort of the four officials, Gao Shijie, who was dressed in prison clothes and had his hair in a messy bun, walked step by step towards the hall of the government office.

When passing in front of Chen Xiaoting, Gao Shijie stopped and looked at Chen Xiaoting's eyes full of indifference.

In this indifference, you can also perceive the hatred that goes deep into the soul. It seems that Gao Shijie is telling Chen Xiaoting that he will not let him go if he is a ghost in this life.

How could Chen Xiaoting be frightened, and glared back viciously.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" The official who escorted Gao Shijie said sharply and pushed him the back.

Gao Zhijie staggered into the lobby of the mansion, and the iron chain wrapped around his feet almost tripped him, but fortunately he was able to stabilize him.

He is the Heavenly King of the White Lotus Sect, so he naturally has his arrogance, and he doesn't want to lose his bearing in front of these corpse officials.

Slowly straightened his waist, Gao Shijie stared at the officials in the hall like this, with a provocative look in his eyes.

But before he could look at it for a few more seconds, he was kicked to his calf by the official behind him, and then he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

"Tell your lord, the prisoner Gao Shijie brought!" The head of the first team saluted to the hall.

Li Changshan picked up the shocking wood and slapped it on the table, and then asked, "Gao Shijie, are you guilty?" ”

Gao Shijie smiled, and then said, "I don't know! ”

No matter how he answers today, he will inevitably die, so he can naturally say whatever he wants.

Li Changshan suddenly said angrily: "Gao Shijie, you and your accomplices secretly gather in villages and towns, bewitch the people, and incite rebellion...... The sin is terrible! ”

The purpose of this public trial is to convict Gao Shijie, no matter what Gao Shijie says, Li Changshan will only come at his own pace.

Although kneeling on the ground, Gao Shijie still laughed and said: "My God teaches to love the people, teach them to govern agriculture and mulberry, and repair water conservancy...... Why should you convict me, you men who are high in power? ”

"You have read the books of the sages all your life, is the Master teaching you in the books to treat the people and the virtuous in this way?" Gao Shijie asked rhetorically.

Listening outside the hall, Chen Xiaoting had to sigh that this person was eloquent and eloquent, and he was so sneaky about changing concepts.

It is one thing to love the people, but it is another thing for the White Lotus Sect to rebel, and it cannot be said that it is legal for you to love the people and rebel.

Li Changshan also smiled at this time, only to hear him say to the left and right: "The Heavenly King of the White Lotus Sect is really worthy of his reputation, and the kung fu on his mouth is really powerful!" ”

No matter how loud Gao Shijie shouted, he couldn't change his weak position, so Li Changshan was not angry about it, and used this joke to resolve his embarrassment.

"Gao Shijie, as long as you recruit the other thieves of the White Lotus Sect, this official can report to the imperial court and give you preferential treatment!" Li Changshan restored his majesty.

In fact, this is also a symbolic question, I don't care if Gao Shijie confesses to Li Changshan, Jin Yiwei has a way to make him speak.

Gao Shijie sneered "hehe", and then said, "Give me preferential treatment...... You let Zhu Yujun abdicate and give up the throne to my family leader, and I will tell you what you want to know! ”

Speaking of this, Gao Shijie immediately laughed, and regarded the officials in the hall as nothing.
