Seeing that the soldiers of the Rui Cavalry Battalion led by him escorted Xian Yunhe and others, who were shackled, from the car, and then the two of them carried one by one, and escorted people into the gate of the county government one after another.

The details of Xu Cheng's death were the first time he heard about the details of Xu Cheng's death when he sent his henchmen to watch at the gate of the county government, and that unusually complicated mood still affects him until now. Yesterday, he realized that Ge Yong's hope provoked Xu Cheng to commit suicide, so he immediately rushed back to stop the Changlu County Commander, at that time he still felt that this was a rainy day before trouble came, and now he knew that it was stupid!

As for Xu Cheng, Zhu Tingfang threw the sword to him, and people were not willing to cut themselves, but tried to jump over the wall to attack Zhang Shou, and he still had to worry that people would commit suicide because of Ge Yong's words? Fortunately, Zhu Tingfang was violent and killed Xu Cheng directly, otherwise if someone said it and he dissuaded him from committing suicide, he would simply steal chickens and rice!

Although the prisoners were escorted into the county government first, Du Heng was more advanced than them - the subordinates he selected still had this kind of look, so he would not put the prisoners in front of his boss. It's just that even if he heard that it was Zhang Shou who sent the order to the detainees before, he was still a little surprised to see Zhang Shou sitting in the center, Ge Yong and Zhu Tingfang sitting on both sides, and Zhu Tingfang still having a chair next to him.

Previously, Cangzhou's side was completely dominated by Zhu Tingfang, supplemented by Zhang Shou, and now that Ge Yong, the old lady, is here, then it should always be the old master, but why is it reversed?

Although he couldn't figure it out, Du Heng still pretended not to care, and after first stepping forward to salute Ge Yong, he met Zhu Tingfang and Zhang Shou one by one, and then sat down under Zhu Tingfang. When he saw that the eight people were escorted in one by one, he saw Xian Yunhe's beard unshaven and haggard, and the rest of the people were also staring and pale, and knelt down silently one by one, and couldn't help but think of the unlucky hundred-man team that had followed the eldest prince.

Although he tried his best to send them out to earn some credit these days, the lost spirit was not so easy to make up, and the future was worrying, so even if he knew that someone wanted to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on Xian Yunhe and the others through his colleagues, he only turned a blind eye, but after Zhang Shoulai visited them once, he had to give them two extra instructions.

Now that he was sure that the prisoners were all here in their entirety, and that he would not be held responsible, he lowered his eyelids and decided to sit down and become a bodhisattva today. But who knew that the next moment, Zhang Shou suddenly asked: "You and the other eight people were detained in the Cangzhou Palace for more than ten days, compared with the more than ten days before occupying the palace, what do you think is the difference?" ”

Du Heng's heart tensed instantly. These dying people in front of them are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, if they are resentful of being mistreated in the palace and complained in this public hall, and are heard by Master Ge, the reputation of the Rui cavalry camp will not be good, and he, the chief officer, will also be reprimanded.

His eagle-like eyes stared at everyone, but everyone lowered their heads, and no one looked at him, so he couldn't intimidate them with his fierce eye knife. Just when he was a little anxious in his heart, he finally heard Xian Yunhe, who was kneeling at the front, finally speak.

"At the beginning, he risked his life to act, but he was forced to do so, and he was escorted to the palace before, and he deserved it, and he had nothing to say. But the whole thing was planned by one of the criminals from beginning to end, and the rest of the people had to risk their lives blindly because they had no way to live for a while. ”

This guy actually took all the blame alone?

Du Heng was surprised, but then he gave birth to a wave of appreciation. Compared with Xu Cheng's kind of guy who is bold when he bends the law for bribes and is as timid as a mouse when facing a desperate situation, this guy in front of him is obviously much more pleasing to the eye. Of course, he had to admit that this person had not said a word about what had happened during his detention in the palace, and that was the key to his favorability.

Hearing that Xian Yunhe was responsible for it alone, there was a slight commotion among the seven people behind him. Immediately after, another young man shouted: "No, it wasn't planned by Brother Xian alone, I also have helpers!" The eldest prince is too greedy, he colluded with Xu Cheng and those shameless guys in Changlu County, we were forced to be helpless and had to ......"

"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Xian Yunhe stopped him with an angry shout. He knew it was called a roaring court, but he still desperately tried to turn away with his hands on his back, glaring angrily at the ignorant companion, until he finally reluctantly shut up, and then he turned back again, and slowly bowed down.

"Thousands of sins, all of them are forged by one sinner, and the envoy of the Emperor sees that God has the virtue of a good life, and the rest of the people are all led astray, and they can hardly survive in hardship before, so they take the risk to forgive their sins and give them a way to live! They will be grateful for their kindness and meritorious deeds. ”

Rao was two people who had a grudge against Xian Yunhe because they were likely to be executed, and when they heard that he took the initiative to bear all the blame, they couldn't help but bow their heads silently. Xian Yunhe did raise his arms, but if they weren't really cornered, how could they follow him with their heads? Now that the matter is defeated, is it really all pushed to Xian Yunhe alone?

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly again: "Lord Qin, I picked the clothes of those people in the Ruiqi camp, and I confess my guilt!" ”

After one person took the lead, someone else immediately responded: "When Changlu County ordered Xu Cheng to gather people to counterattack the palace, I was the first to rush out with Brother Xian, and I confessed to killing or chopping, and I was a good man after 20 years!" ”

"What is Brother Xian's crime? His house was burned down by the eldest prince, and he worked hard to get the drawings to transform the textile machine for everyone, but it was smashed by the doglegs sent by those big families, and the yarn we worked so hard to spin was rejected by those profiteers, and we had no way to live at all! Since we are not allowed to live, who cares if it is a crime or not...... Let's talk about it against the fuck first! ”

Just after Xian Yunhe heard these rebellious words, he couldn't help it anymore and suddenly stepped forward to stop talking violently, only to hear a bang suddenly sound. He closed his mouth suddenly, and found that the sound of boiling water suddenly breaking through the lid of the pot had finally come to an end for the time being, and he was in an extremely bitter mood.

Without being locked up with his companions, they can't comprehend his painstaking efforts...... Since you are going to die, it is enough to die one, why bring a large number of people! These idiots!

With a startled sound to stop the accusation and defense, Zhang Shou said lightly: "The eldest prince has escorted the Rui cavalry camp back to Beijing, but as soon as he arrived in the capital, he was sent to Zongzheng Temple by the emperor and received a hundred rods. ”

Seeing that everyone was silent for a while, he continued to unhurriedly say the fate of another person.

"Changlu County ordered Xu Cheng, corrupt the law, exploit the people, the crime is not forgiven, before the imperial court has clearly ordered to remove the official position, chase the origin, but he roared in the public court, General Zhu opened the net to give him the opportunity to self-judge, but he was mad, wielding a sword to hurt people, the crime is unforgivable, and he has been punished before. That is, he deserves it, but is dead. ”

The eldest prince was beaten with a hundred rods, and Xu Cheng ...... Actually dead?

Except for Xian Yunhe, who was already mentally prepared, everyone else was stunned. In the play, I didn't dare to write that the prince was guilty of the same crime as the people, and the prince who broke the law was reprimanded by the emperor at most and deprived of his title for a few days.

There is also Xu Cheng, a dignified county order, really dismissed the officials for the people, and really said that he would kill him?

Seeing that most of the eight people who heard the news looked lost and depressed, Zhang Shou struck while the iron was hot and said: "As for those big families who once burned down your houses and made it impossible for you to make a living, they have also been dealt with as they should have been due because of their past bad deeds. While you were in custody, General Zhu sentenced several people to beheading, several to exile, and more than a dozen to be punished with canes. ”

This is also news that only Xian Yunhe knows, and the seven people behind him were almost stunned at this time, and it took a long time before someone finally muttered to himself: "Has God finally opened his eyes?" If so, why not sooner? ”

As soon as he said this, Ge Yong, who had been silent, suddenly said slowly: "It's not God who opens his eyes, but the emperor's eyes have always been watching the people, but the palace walls are deep and the city walls are high, so he can only rely on the pastoral officials to act as his eyes." However, once a magistrate like Xu Cheng is released, then it is equivalent to cutting off his sight. ”

"Now that the emperor has only seen the real situation in Cangzhou again through General Mingwei and Dr. Zhang, the national superintendent, then he will naturally see everything and give justice to the people of Cangzhou."

Regarding Ge Yong's statement, Zhang Shou only smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that the teacher was really fooling. The whole world is so big, the Son of Heaven will always represent a small group of people, not so much focusing on fairness as focusing on order - after all, even those rotten orders, once broken, will still provoke a huge reaction from vested interest groups.

Today's emperor has a unique temper, but judging from his consistent words and deeds, he does still pay attention to the people's livelihood and people's livelihood, but in other words, some people don't care about the life and death of the people, as long as they don't rebel and don't rebel, what is justice and justice, can you eat it? Can I play it? The people can't even drink porridge, so what's the matter, can't they eat minced meat?

However, although they once held the eldest prince hostage and occupied the palace, Xian Yunhe and others were mostly really kind people. In front of the statement that Ge Yong, the Holy Son of Heaven, was deceived by traitors, the prisoners who were shouting loudly just now were completely silent.

Not only was it quiet, but a certain young man who was still shouting against his mother was even lying on the ground and crying bitterly, shouting that everything was a traitor and confusing the lord. In a very short period of time, the people who were still angry just now bowed their heads one after another, confessed their sins, and repented and repented, but none of them carried it to the end.

In the end, the lobby was full of prostrate prisoners, and Xian Yunhe, who was about to open his mouth again, had to sigh secretly and give up this effort. Most civilians are like this, as long as the court can give justice, they are already satisfied, even if he is just one person who has the consciousness of death at first, at this time probably everyone has it, right?

"That is, you all confess?"

Zhang Shou asked again, and when he heard the incomplete voices of confessions, he breathed a sigh of relief when he deliberately did not mention the specific charges of everyone just now. Even in anger, even in the mood of being in trouble, these people even said the words against his mother, and even admitted to dealing with Xu Cheng's counterattack and stripping off the clothes of the soldiers of the Rui Cavalry Battalion, but everyone avoided talking about holding the eldest prince hostage.

He had no intention of investigating whether it was his instinct to seek advantage and avoid disadvantage, or because he was out of fear for the so-called Son of Heaven, because this was the result he wanted. So, he patted the startled wood again, and then said in a deep voice: "Since you have confessed, that is to say, you have entered the gates of the palace without permission, stolen the eldest prince with him, transferred the cavalry battalion and horses into the palace, and then stole his military uniforms and weapons, all of these sins?" ”

When the others bowed their heads one by one and admitted again, Xian Yunhe did not answer, but was slightly stunned. He was the most intelligent man, and at this moment he immediately heard the difference. Encroaching on the palace is said to be trespassing on the gates of the palace; The kidnapping of the eldest prince is said to be the theft of the eldest prince's customs and the theft of military uniforms and weapons......

With such a concept of stealing, he didn't know how much these charges would reduce their guilt, but it was ironclad that it was lighter than it was at first!

didn't care to think about why Zhang Shou turned his elbow at them like this, he also bowed his head and confessed, but who knew that he suddenly heard Du Heng's voice: "Dr. Zhang, it seems that there is something wrong with your charge just now, right?" Didn't they invade the palace and hold ...... hostage?"

Du Heng's questioning was expected by Zhang Shou, in fact, in his mind, there should be someone else without Du Heng, which is why he did not ask more people to attend the interrogation. He smiled unhurriedly, and then looked at Du Heng indifferently and said, "I heard that the eldest prince once scolded Xu Cheng's group of so-called counterattack palace rescuers in broad daylight?" ”

Seeing that Du Heng was stunned, he said with a smile: "I remember I asked the people present at the time, and they all said that the eldest prince shouted hard, saying that his so-called being held hostage and the palace being captured was completely out of nothing, but a group of victimized people were forced to helplessly, so they tried to see him." Then the eldest prince even offered a reward and called on everyone to counterattack Xu Cheng. This matter has been widely spread in Cangzhou. ”

Hearing that Zhang Shou actually brought out such an old news, Du Heng, who had just asked a question in a hurry, suddenly turned black. Except for those really ignorant people, anyone can tell that the eldest prince was a tiger falling into the Pingyang Longyou Shoal at that time, plus he wanted to throw the black pot to Xu Cheng, so he made this decision, Zhang Shou actually took the trouble to take it seriously?

Is this a blatant attempt to show a group of rioters?

Glimpsing Ge Yong squinting his eyes and sitting on the Taishi chair without making a sound, Zhu Tingfang seemed to be smiling, although Du Heng also knew that his chances of rashly picking assassins were not high, and there was no need to be a gunman for some people in the court - after all, no one instructed him.

But in the end, he couldn't help but say: "The eldest prince has another way of saying afterwards, the Tao is that he was coerced, so he just talked nonsense, Dr. Zhang doesn't think you only take his preface, this is really a bit evasive?" ”

Before he finished speaking, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of heavy drumming outside the gate of the county government.
