Even though the person had been taken down, the people present were still talking about what Oud had just said, and even if his voice was already a little hoarse, he was talking in a hoarse voice; Not only that, but the people who were outside listening to the voices coming from the windows also heard his words, so Ude's words quickly spread throughout the city of Guangzhou.

Everyone expressed their resentment against Ud, and many people were clamoring for all kinds of torture to kill Ud.

But there are also a very small number of people, although they are also angry, but they still maintain their composure on the surface and calmly analyze the matter.

"The court must have interrogated this matter clearly before the public trial, and Wude must have said this before, whether it is His Majesty or the lords of Guangzhou, they must also know. Why, then, does His Majesty still have to order a public trial of this case? What exactly is Your Majesty's purpose? Bai Wenyu, who came to see the trial in person today, was puzzled and said to the elders of his own family around him.

In fact, in the eyes of the big families in Guangzhou, the public trial is actually just to tell the people the results, whether the crime or the punishment has been decided before the public trial, Yun Xi's trick can deceive the ordinary people, but cannot deceive these people with political experience.

But because of this, they don't understand why a public trial is being held. The previous Caisheng and Cutting case is just that, it is related to hundreds of people inside and outside Guangzhou, and the public trial can calm the hearts of the people; But this witch Gu case doesn't seem to be necessary.

What's more, since ancient times, cases like witch Gu have been very secretive, and no one knows the details, even if it doesn't involve the matter of the palace this time, there is no need to make it public.

"Could it be that Your Majesty was very angry with the Manchu Boyi Kingdom after learning the truth, and wanted to send troops to attack, so he made the case public to admonish?" An elder named Bai Jingshuang said.

Bai Wenyu shook his head: "It's not like that." If His Majesty wants to crusade against Majapahit to avenge this, there are too many reasons to borrow, and even if the official admonishes, he can turn a deaf ear, so why make this matter public? ”

"Do you want to justifiably implicate the Ude family and ask the Majapahit country to send it?"

"There's no need to make it public. Privately speaking to the envoy of Majapahit, the man would have fallen on his knees and begged for His Majesty's forgiveness, and upon his return to his homeland he would immediately inform their monarch of the matter and send Ude's family to Daming. ”

Bai Jingshuang put forward several suggestions, all of which were rejected, and he was about to say something, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and said, "Could it be related to the sentence 'There will be other Heavenly Sect warriors to come and slaughter you Han people'?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"After Your Majesty, you want to fight a war with a big country of the Heavenly Sect, because this country is too powerful to gather the strength of the whole country to deal with it, so you must eliminate all voices of opposition?" White Scene Shuangdao.

"This." Bai Wenyu said: "Now there is such a powerful Fanguo? ”

"I don't know, but I can ask someone who is familiar with the situation overseas. Some people in the Gu family have been going to Nanyang to do business all year round, and some people have even been to India, so they are very familiar with overseas situations. Bai Jingshuang said.

"That's true, but I always feel that Your Majesty won't just have such a little thought, there must be other things." Bai Wenyu said.

……

……

A stick of incense is five minutes, and Li Decheng's original intention was to announce the outcome of the witch Gu case in court five minutes later; However, because of the treatment of Oude's wounds, which delayed for a quarter of an hour, Li Decheng came out of the back hall, sat down again, and ordered the prisoner to be brought up to announce the result.

"......, a person who commits Oude and intends to murder His Majesty is a heinous crime, and the three tribes will be exterminated, and he will be executed for a long time; Gao Jingde, a human offender, had insufficient evidence in the case of witchcraft, but he participated in the case of harvesting and cutting and was executed by Ling Chi; The eldest son, Gao Jingzhai, asked for beheading; ......, the rest of the Gao family was exiled to Annan. ”

"According to the "Da Ming Law", the capital crime is finally decided by His Majesty, and the official will report the matter to His Majesty after the case is asked, and ask His Majesty to deal with it. If no one is pardoned, he will be executed five days later in early February. ”

The police and people present knelt down and cheered "Lord Wise", including many prisoners of the Gao family who knelt down with joy and wept in praise of him.

"Take the prisoner down." Li Decheng gave another order, and the police began to lead people to commit crimes.

The crowd of onlookers was about to leave, when they suddenly noticed that Oud had not been taken down, and that there were several prisoners standing in it. Everyone took a closer look, and these people had never seen before.

The people were about to discuss, when they heard Li Decheng sneer at Wude: "Although you claim that you don't know who the Tianfang Sect you said will come to slaughter the Han people, but our Ming government has some clues. Qian Minglin, read the lawsuit! ”

Qian Minglin, who quietly came to the plaintiff's bench during the break, immediately stood up and said, "Yes, my lord." Then he picked up a piece of paper and read it aloud: "The Guangzhou Prefecture Police Department was ordered to arrest the perpetrators of the Caisheng Cutting Case and the Witch Gu Case,......, but it found that Samarkand sent many spies to the Ming Dynasty to steal the secrets of the Ming Dynasty,......, and after interrogation, Ude's intention to murder His Majesty was that Samarkand colluded with the Majapahit Kingdom. ”

As soon as he said this, the people present didn't feel anything, and several gentry who were mixed in with the people, the envoys of various countries who were being heard in the back hall, and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty who knew something about the affairs of the country were all shocked, and many people showed surprise on their faces, much more surprised than they had just heard that Majapahit was involved in this matter!

Samarkand is not a small country, on the contrary, it is the only powerful country that can be called the same as the Ming Dynasty, with a territory of east to the Green Mountains, west to Anatolia, north across the Syr Darya River, south to the Great Food Sea, tens of millions of people, millions of troops, absolutely not a Majapahit who can only be crowned king and hegemonic in this small place in the South Seas.

Since the Ming Dynasty openly involved Samarkand in the murder of His Majesty the Emperor, then he had no choice but to send someone to condemn Timur, if he did not admit his guilt, he could only meet with swords. And is it possible for Timur to confess his sins? No, so a war between the two countries is a sure thing.

The envoys of Fanguo began to assess the impact of this matter. The Siamese envoy Ramari thought: 'Although Samarkand also has a sea, it is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and it is still in the west of India. ’

I heard that the capital of Samarkand was called Samarkand, and that the place where it was called Samarkand was there, and Timur would never back down, and it seemed that the war would start there. Even Timur might have struck first and sent troops to the Mongol countries. ’

This has nothing to do with Siam, and the emperor of the Ming Kingdom will not recruit our troops from Nanyang to fight in the northwest, but I am excited to think that the two strongest countries were at war at that time, and I must ask to go there to see it when the time comes. ’

The officials who were listening to the hearing were worried. Because Yunxi stayed in the Liangguang area for a long time, the six departments of the capital sent Shangshu or Shilang to Guangzhou to assist Yunxi in handling political affairs, and some middle-level officials from the five, six and seven grades of each yamen also came, so there were many officials who observed at this time, and many people also knew about the affairs of Fanguo.

In their opinion, Samarkand is a powerful country in the world, and the Ming Dynasty's conquest cannot guarantee victory at all, so it is really quite inappropriate to conquer it. Not only civil officials think so, but also many military generals think so.

But now that the matter has been made public, it must not be turned a blind eye. Murdering the emperor is a heinous crime, and if there is no punishment, the Ming court will be humiliated; But now it is impossible to prevent this from being made public.

I can only advise Your Majesty not to be rash, and to send some soldiers to the northwest for a circle, so that they may come back and report that they have defeated the army of Samarkand, and that the king of his country is willing to confess his guilt and put an end to the matter. Many thought.

Qian Minglin didn't pay attention to the surrounding discussions, continued to read the lawsuit, and after reading for half an hour, he finally said: "...... Therefore, this matter was done by the joint efforts of the Kingdom of Samarkand and the Kingdom of Majapahit. ”

After listening to the lawsuit, the people looked up at the judge, but saw that the person sitting in the judge's position at this time was no longer Li Decheng, but was replaced by a middle-aged man wearing a second-grade official uniform that they had never seen before.

This person is none other than Shangshu Ru Yu of the Criminal Department. Ru Yu came to Guangzhou at the end of November to assist Yunxi in handling various matters, and then spent the New Year in Guangzhou.

When Yun Xi wanted to order someone to try the two cases of witch Gu and Samarkand's conspiracy, he immediately thought of him, and ordered someone to send him to try these two cases; But Ru Yu was very careful, and felt that even if the witch case was committed by outsiders, it had nothing to do with the palace people, after all, it involved the emperor, and he didn't want to get involved, so he tried his best to shirk it. He didn't even want to interrogate the Samarkand traitor case, but Yun Xi pushed it over and couldn't refuse.

Yun Xi also knew his thoughts, and although he was not very happy, he finally agreed to his refusal and handed over the witch Gu case to Guangdong according to Li Decheng, the prosecutor, to try it.

At this time, Ru Yu sat in his seat, first coughed and said: "Ru Yu, the secretary of the official criminal department, will try this case in accordance with His Majesty's will. ”

"Can people confess to the crimes of Su Dongli, Singh、......, Ru and others?"

Unlike the Wu Gu case, Yun Xi did not let Su Dongli, Singh and others cooperate with 'acting', so they all acted in their true colors at this time.

I saw Singh looking down and thinking. He felt that he had been discovered by the Ming people, even if he insisted on not admitting guilt and quibbling, or kneeling down to plead guilty and asking for leniency, he would not escape death; Moreover, the Ming Kingdom is a pagan country, and he can't bow to the infidels, so although he didn't quite understand what the Ming meant by interrogating them and letting the people watch, he still shouted loudly: "Yes, we are the people sent by Timur Khan to your Ming Kingdom to spy on your Ming Kingdom." ”

"But the emperor who plotted against you was not the intention of Timur Khan. The Great Khan was far away in the West, so how could he have time to plan for this? The Great Khan could not suffer such a wrong. ”
