Section 888 Public trial
With the god card of the deceased son, Zhao Wannian squeezed into the crowd and struggled forward.
Although he is more than fifty years old, Zhao Wannian now seems to have returned to the prime of his thirties, full of strength.
"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! The soldiers with halberds struggled to separate the crowd: "Today is a meeting of public judges and sinners, don't crowd the fathers and elders, so as not to have an accident!" ”
Even so, it is still difficult to stop the enthusiasm of the people.
Especially those people like Zhao Wannian, who have blood feuds, are already disregarding life and death at this moment.
They just want to squeeze into the front row, keep their eyes open, and see what happens to their enemies.
For this day, they waited countless days and nights, gritting their teeth and suffering from pain at countless sunsets and sunrises.
Now, the great revenge is about to be avenged, who can calm down?
There was no way, and the soldiers who maintained order had no choice but to ask for help.
Soon a team of Xuanjia soldiers began to enter.
A general on a horse scolded loudly: "I am the captain of Changshui and the army waiting for Qin Ponu, on the order of the angel, to suppress the venue, and those who dare to make trouble will be expelled!" ”
With his scolding, the crowd began to calm down.
No one wants to miss the moment when their enemies will be judged.
Under the command of the army, Zhao Wannian held high the god card of the deceased son in his hand and was arranged to the front row.
By this time, it was already noon.
When the sun is in the sky, it shines all over the earth.
More than a dozen prisoner vans, carrying prisoners, arrived at the venue, where they were escorted by soldiers to a high platform that had already been erected.
The crowd immediately erupted in scolding that resounded through the world.
"Traitor! You also have today! Zhao Wannian saw at a glance the murderer who killed his son by riding a horse - the son of the captain of Ma County.
Once in this city of goodness, rampage, lawless characters.
At this time, this overlord in the city of Shanwu in the past was now embarrassed, his face was haggard, wearing shackles and shackles, and he was put on a torture rack on a high platform like a dead dog.
This made Zhao Wannian's heart immediately give birth to countless pleasures.
He clutched his son's god card tightly, and muttered to himself: "Wu'er, Wu'er, if you have a spirit in the sky, open your eyes and watch the fate of this thief!" ”
He must die!
Moreover, it must be cut in half!
Only by seeing the enemy with his own eyes and being beheaded by the government can he comfort his deceased son.
At this time, a young man holding a knotted hat and wearing a sable crown on his head, surrounded by soldiers, walked to the desk that had been set up on the high platform.
"Angel!"
"Angel!"
Countless crowds shouted frantically: "Please angels call the shots for us and avenge us!" ”
The shouts were hysterical, almost crazy, resounding through the heavens and the earth, and heard for dozens of miles.
Zhang Yue listened, bowed slightly to the people, bowed again, and then sat down in front of the desk, looking at the piles of documents and bamboo slips in front of him.
In every scroll of bamboo slips, there are blood and tears, and on every document, there are endless evils.
The memory strengthened by space allows him to remember the details of each case and understand the accumulated crimes of each criminal.
This even made him have nightmares last night, dreaming of countless unjust souls, dreaming of the tragic situation of countless innocent dead before they died!
Picking up the shocking wood, Zhang Yue slapped it hard: "Silence!" ”
The audience was immediately silent, and even the sound of a pin falling on the ground could be heard clearly.
This is the best embodiment of Zhang Yue's prestige and status among the officials and people of Yanmen.
For the people of Yanmen, he, the envoy of the festival, is now the embodiment of justice and fairness.
Especially when he announced the public trial, the morale of the people was immediately full.
The status of the private sector has also risen instantly.
It can almost be compared with those famous ministers and generals in the history of Yanmen County.
"I am edicted to hold the festival, to be fortunate to be on the side, to comfort the people, to be the holy son of heaven not to give up, to give full power, to get the right to decide, and to Yanmen, witness the withering of the people, corrupt officials, strong and arrogant, harmful to the people!"
"Confucius said: Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger, nothing more than that!"
Zhang Yue's voice was calm and tense, and it reached the ears of the people, making them all feel envious from the bottom of their hearts.
That's why the presentation skills are full.
A good speaker can guide the audience through tone, speed and intonation, and involuntarily enter the track he wants.
After a slight pause, Zhang Yue continued: "However, this envoy wants to tell the elders of Yanmen that all kinds of things in the past were caused by the unjudicial officials colluding with the gentry and inferior people, distorting the Han law, and blocking the audio-visual, and no one will tolerate this kind of behavior in the court, the society and the Holy Son of Heaven and all the Ming princes of the dynasty!" ”
"Today's envoy will be edicted to exercise power, clean up the source, and convene the fathers and soldiers to try the offender here!"
"Bring someone to commit a horse ghost!" Zhang Yue ordered.
"No!" Immediately, a general took the order and dragged a prisoner who was embarrassed and frightened in front of Zhang Yue.
"Get on your knees!" Zhang Yue was shocked.
The prisoner immediately knelt down involuntarily, and although he was in chains, he still kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy: "Sinner Ma You, I have seen an angel, and I ask the angel to forgive ......"
"Hehe......" Zhang Yue sneered: "Whether you forgive you or not, that is the matter of the wronged souls that you poisoned and killed in the past......"
"This envoy is only responsible for judging and sending you to meet those unjust souls!"
"Someone!" Zhang Yue turned his head and ordered to Deng Shuang, who was standing next to him: "Read out the guilty complaint of the sinner Ma You!" ”
"No!" Deng Shuang bowed, then stepped forward, picked up a bamboo slip, and began to read it out loud: "The sinner Ma You, so Yanmen County Lieutenant Ma Atom, twenty-eight years old, from Hedong, seven feet and one inch long, with a mole on his face......"
"Since Ma Yuan was appointed as the lieutenant of Yanmen County, the sinner Ma You, relying on the authority of his father, has walked in Yanmen, and has done all kinds of evil......"
"In the first three years of Taishi, the wife of Zhang Xian, a native of Woyang, went shopping in the city, Ma You saw his beauty, robbed him on the street, Zhang's desperate disobedience, and was killed by him, and then he heard that Zhang Xian wanted to report to Chang'an, and he actually instructed Woyang to order Yan Feng and others to frame Zhang Xian, causing Zhang Xian to die in prison......"
At this point, an old woman in the audience immediately cried and wailed: "My son, my son, you died so unjustly......
While crying, he was about to rush to the high platform, pounce on Ma You's body and bite him.
Fortunately, the soldiers in front of the high platform stopped her in time, and some young people of the younger generation stepped forward to comfort her, so they didn't let her go to power.
Even so, the old woman's cry resounded in the high platform, making countless people look sideways.
On the high platform, Deng Shuang was not affected, and continued to read about Ma You's crime.
Dozens of cases in a row, gradually dripping blood, almost all of them were homicides.
There are those who collude with officials to torture and kill the people, and there are also those who act recklessly, killing and plundering merchants and people when they see a desire on the road or because things are not going well.
There are even cases in which a certain official was pushed into a deep well and buried alive just because he did not like it.
Hearing this, the bitter lords opened their eyes angrily and wept together.
I could hear the side soldiers, gritting their teeth, and their anger was high.
Because, this Ma You is not only a fish and a common man, but even the gentry and officials are also humiliated, beaten and even tortured and killed at will.
This really poked a sore spot at many people.
For a while, countless people shouted and shouted to kill.
Even Han Wen and the others couldn't stand it, and said one after another: "Such beasts must be punished with canonical punishment and the law of the country!" ”
If such a person does not die, how can he be worthy of the world?
It will be a shame on the children of nobles like them.
And Deng Shuang also read his crime to the end at this time.
"In April of the first year of Yanhe, the sinner Ma indulged in the city, collided with three people in a row, and caused no one to be good, Zhao Hu and others, innocent death, his Tian was shameless, and he accused Zhao Hu and others of shocking horses, and forced the family of the deceased to apologize and apologize ......"
When Zhao Wannian in the audience heard this, he immediately howled loudly, raised the god card in his hand, and said: "Wu'er, Wu'er, if you have a spirit in the sky, open your eyes and see what happened to this traitor today!" ”
……………………
Sitting on the high platform, Zhang Yue looked at the situation under the stage and knew that it was time.
The mood of the people has been raised.
They must be given an outlet for catharsis.
So, he was shocked and said: "The sinner Ma You, for all the crimes he has committed, confessed, according to the law, the envoy pronounced the sentence: the sinner Ma You, murder, collusion with officials to frame others, the city frightened horses, harmed people's lives, and robbed the people's daughters, the evidence of the crime is conclusive and irrefutable, the sinner should be cut in half, and all his family assets will be confiscated, and it will be used to compensate for the losses of the victims, and it will be executed immediately!" ”
"Hooray!" Immediately the people began to rejoice.
"The Son of Heaven Shengming, the Han Dynasty is ten thousand years!" Zhang Yue's arrangement immediately made a noise in the crowd.
The people involuntarily shouted: "The Son of Heaven Shengming, the Han Dynasty is ten thousand years!" ”
At this time, the executioners who had already been arranged were ordered to move forward and dragged Ma You to the execution platform left in front of the high platform.
Press his body to the ground.
A stout executioner, holding up the ring-headed knife in his hand, slashed down in Ma You's horror and horror.
Immediately, a miserable howl sounded, and with a single sword, Ma You's body was cut off from his waist.
Blood and internal organs immediately gushed out.
However, the others are not dead.
This former county lieutenant was howling and crying miserably at the moment, and his hands were scratched on the wooden planks of the high platform, drawing blood marks one after another.
At this time, the pupils in his eyes, as if he saw countless unjust souls, surrounded him.
"Give me my life!" One by one, the hideous ghosts roared: "Give me back my life!" ”
There are even powerful ghosts, who pounce on his flesh and blood, and feast on it.
Ma You was terrified and wanted to drive away, but found that he had no strength left.
………………………………
On the same day, seventeen officials, Haoqiang, and nobles, including Ma You, were publicly tried outside Shanwu City and their crimes were announced.
Of the seventeen, thirteen were sentenced to beheading.
The other four people were happy to make a decision.
At the same time, the crimes and charges of 33 other officials and nobles were also made public.
They were punished with capital offenses to exile.
When the news came out, the whole county of Yanmen cheered, and the state shook.
Killing is nothing.
However, the public trial, public judgment and public punishment have made countless people's backs chill and their bodies tremble.
What's even more terrifying is that there are thousands of scholars who have witnessed this matter, but Shilin public opinion is full of praise.
Almost overnight, the Confucian Confucianists throughout the state spoke out, denouncing the crimes of the powerful officials and nobles of Yanmen, and vigorously praising the actions of the envoys.
The people of the Ram School even linked this matter with the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and used 'the strong man is a madman with a sword and will kill' to prove the justice and legitimacy of what the envoy did in Yanmen.
At this time, the news and intelligence about Zhang Yue finally spread in the land of Bingzhou.
Zhang Chiyou's name spread far and wide.
The officials were powerful and terrified.
Every day, he burned incense and prayed at home, begging Zhang Chi Youmo to come to his jurisdiction.
At the same time, they also took urgent action and took the initiative to correct many things in the past.
For a time, the officialdom of the state was faintly clear.
This made countless people look at it, and they are really dumbfounded.
During these times, Zhang Yue gradually tried the cases of other officials and heroes, and at the same time transitioned the local administration of Yanmen from the hands of the army to the hands of Han Wen and others.
I have to say that Han Wen and others, although they are children of nobles, their abilities are really good.
In just a few days, among the scholars, a large number of talents were selected and recruited, and then based on them, the old officials were integrated, and with the cooperation of the retainers, the Yanmen administration was slowly taken over, and the work was not bad.
Especially Hanwen and Dai Jing, they even learned Xinfeng's system and tried to copy it in Yanmen.
This made Zhang Yue feel very relieved, so he took the initiative to guide and teach.
