Liu Renjie received Liu Renyu's order, so he went straight to Jingbianbao Prison to pick up a little red and other criminals.

When Liu Renjie came to the prison where Dianhong and others were held, he was shocked to find that Dianhong, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er, Wang Zishun and several other criminals were lying in the prison staggeredly, sleeping by themselves.

"Did they drink a lot yesterday?" Liu Renjie saw that Dianhong and the others were drunk and unconscious, so he asked the cell leader.

"Back to Second Master Liu's words, these thieves ate a severed head yesterday, and they drank too much, so they got drunk and didn't wake up." The cell boss replied.

"I see! Let me ask you, how did Wang Zishun become like this? Liu Renjie pointed to the prince, whose cheeks were swollen and his face was full of blue and purple scars.

"In the past few days, this gang of thieves has been fighting among themselves, and this injured criminal has been beaten like this by other criminals." The cell boss replied.

"Damn, you don't care, Wang Zishun was beaten like this, and I don't know if the adults will blame it at the public trial conference later." Liu Renjie frowned and said dissatisfied.

"Yo, the villain didn't know that the adults required the criminals to be intact, so he didn't care about this stubble, and asked Second Master Liu to say something for the villain in front of the adults." The cell boss was really shocked when he didn't expect that there was negligence in his duties, so he quickly got down on his knees and told him to spare again and again.

"Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, they are going to be killed today, even if their appearance is a little stumbling, it doesn't matter, it's okay, this will wake them up, and the adults will interrogate these criminals."

"Yes, Second Master Liu." When the cell boss heard this, it was as if he had heard the sound of heaven, and he immediately led his subordinates to carry a few buckets of water, walked to the side of Dianhong and the others, and poured the water in the buckets towards the faces of Dianhong and the others.

The cold water stirred up, and in an instant, a little red, Zhang Shusheng and others who were still sleeping woke up.

"Leaders, did you eat well yesterday? The roasted whole lamb is specially instructed by the adults to let your cook make it for you to eat, how is it, how does it taste? Liu Renjie saw that Dianhong and the others woke up, so he asked with a smile.

A little red and the others knew that they were already certain to die, so they were silent and ignored Liu Renjie at all.

Seeing that no one answered his question, Liu Renjie didn't care much, he turned his head and beckoned to his subordinates: "Put shackles on them, and then take them to the prisoner cart and send them to the venue of the public trial meeting in the east of the city." ”

"Yes, Second Master." Liu Renjie's subordinates got the order, so they put shackles on Dianhong and the others, and then escorted these criminals to the prisoner car.

When escorting these criminals, a little red, Zhang Shusheng and Ji San'er were still very calm and calmly went to their deaths, only Wang Zishun, who had already fallen into fear, was too scared, and his legs and feet were weak, and he couldn't even walk.

Liu Renjie saw that Wang Zishun was no longer able to walk upright, so he said to his two subordinates, Nunu: "Fork this guy to the prisoner car." ”

"Yes, Second Master." Liu Renjie's two subordinates got the order, so they walked forward, one left and one right, grabbed Wang Zishun, and slipped to the prisoner cart outside the prison.

After waiting for a little red and other criminals to be loaded into the prison car, Liu Renjie escorted them straight to the venue of the public trial meeting.

The prison in Jingbianbao was not very far from Dongcheng, and Liu Renjie and the others walked for about 10 minutes to reach their destination.

When a little red and other thieves appeared at the venue of the public trial, although the people were afraid of Liu Renyu's rules, none of the people present had suffered in the hands of a few thieves such as a little red and Zhang Shusheng.

In the past, these people were the leaders of thieves, and the people were afraid of them, after recruiting peace, these people were generously raised by the imperial court, although the people had grievances in their hearts, but no one dared to seek revenge from them, even if there were great grievances, they could only endure it.

Many people thought that this gang had created a lot of murderous thieves and could get a good death, but what they never expected was that this gang of thieves actually killed themselves and insisted on rebelling, and as a result, they became Liu Renyu's prisoners, and I heard that they would be tried today and all of them would be killed.

Even if many people are afraid of Liu Renyu's rules, even if they see their former enemies, they just look at them angrily, but after all, there are bold people who are dominated by hatred and don't want to think about it, so they pick up a piece of dirt from the ground, and while smashing a little red and other thieves, they shout: "Thieves, you also have today." ”

When the other people saw that these people's outrageous behavior had not been punished by Liu Renyu in any way, they were all bold, scolding endlessly, holding a piece of soil in their hands, and smashing a little red and other thieves fiercely.

All of a sudden, countless mud blocks smashed like raindrops on the head and face of the thief leader of a little red and so on, that is, in the blink of an eye, the face of a little red and other thief leaders was smashed everywhere with yellow dust, and a piece of blue and a piece of purple, which looked so miserable.

And Wang Zishun, who was already injured everywhere, the old wounds on his face did not go away, and the new injuries came again, which was even more miserable.

Liu Renyu quietly watched as the people kept venting their anger on the thieves such as a little red, and when the prisoner car was very close to the judgment table, he coughed lightly and shouted with a large trumpet-like megaphone: "Fellow villagers of Jingbian Fort, please be quiet, we are about to start the trial." ”

The number one general of Jingbian Fort spoke, how could the people dare to move, so the people stopped throwing mud, and they no longer shouted and scolded, they all sat honestly on the pony, without saying a word, like clay sculptures.

The whole venue was silent again.

"Renjie, hurry up and escort Li Shengman, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er and Wang Zishun to the dock." Liu Renyu ordered.

"Yes, sir." When Liu Renjie got the order, he escorted Dianhong and the others, who were wearing shackles, to the defendant's dock and stood.

Then, Liu Renyu, Zhang Tieniu and other generals sitting on the rostrum sat down in turn, and finally Ma Tianjun, who was standing on the plaintiff's (prosecutor's) seat, also sat down.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, prosecutors, and village elders of the jury, now I, Liu Renyu, the garrison of Jingbian Fort, announce that the case of Li Shengman and other rebels is now in court, and now I ask the public prosecutor Ma Tianjun and Mayor Ma to prosecute Li Shengman and other rebels." Liu Renyu said loudly.

When Ma Tianjun heard Liu Renyu's call, he got up and faced Liu Renyu and the jury and said, "My lord, the elders of the jury, as the prosecutor, I am now prosecuting Li Shengman, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er, Wang Zishun and others.

Li Shengman, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er, Wang Zishun and other four people were originally the good people of Yansui Town in the Ming Dynasty, because of the famine, they took risks and gathered people to make trouble.

Wherever these thieves passed, they burned, killed, and plundered, and their crimes were monstrous. Later, the imperial court had the virtue of a good life and allowed them to surrender and recruit peace. But these thieves received the favor of the imperial court, but they did not repent, and still tried to rebel. Later, these thieves were exposed, and they were captured by Liu Renyu and Lord Liu.

Now, on behalf of the prosecution, I would like to indict these thieves for murder, treason, and anti-. Crimes of humanity. I'm done. ”

After Ma Tianjun finished his statement, he sat down in his seat.

"The prosecution has just indicted Li Shengman, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er, Wang Zishun and others for their crimes, and now witnesses have been invited to give testimony in court."

As soon as Liu Renyu's voice fell, several witnesses were brought to the witness stand in turn to speak.

It is said that when a little red and others were in turmoil, there were not too many people who were killed, and there were not too many broken homes, and there were many witnesses whose relatives died in the hands of their thieves.

Therefore, the witnesses went to the witness stand, without exception, all of them tearfully accused a little red and others of the heinous crimes.

In this troubled world, everyone's experience is miserable, but the specific things encountered are very different, so each witness has a different tragic past.

Under the judgment seat, the people who were displaced not long ago often resonated with the tragic past of the witnesses, and some of them wept when they thought of their own tragic experiences.

Therefore, when the witnesses spoke, the atmosphere of the whole venue was solemn, quiet and depressing, and there was an extra bit of sadness and melancholy.

Liu Renyu sat on the rostrum, and after listening to the testimony of more than 100 witnesses, his eyes were cold, and he asked Dianhong and the others in a calm tone: "The witnesses have already stated their testimony, do you have anything to say about the crimes you have committed?" ”

At this time, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er and Wang Zishun all knew that they were already certain to die, and it was useless to say anything, so they all chose to be silent with expressionless faces.

There was only a little red, and he felt that there was a fire suppressed in his chest, and it was really unpleasant to release it without saying a few words, so he stiffened his neck and said in a loud voice: "I have something to say." ”

"Oh!" Liu Renyu heard that a little red had something to say, so he squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I want to see what you have to say?" ”

"I was originally a Shunmin, and I would never have thought of rebelling in my dreams, but the lord of Lijiazhuang is really hateful, and the county official of Yanchuan County is also a violent official, our Yanchuan harvest has been lost, and our people are going to starve to death. The county official still had to harvest autumn grain and salary, and even my old lady was forced to death by the minions sent by the government to collect taxes. Official. If you force the people to rebel, you will have to rebel, and I was forced to rebel in the past. I just want to find a bite to eat, I want to live. A little red angrily told the reason for his rebellion.

"I can understand that you have no food to eat, and you are being exploited, and you want to rebel, but whoever exploits you should kill whom, you kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and tyrannize the bad gentry in the village, I can understand it, but why do you want to harm the poor people after you have mastered the force?

In the end, it's not because after you gain unfettered power, the evil in your heart is completely aroused. Everywhere you go, you burn down the dwellings and force the people to join your ranks, so that when your ranks grow, you will not be afraid of the government coming to suppress you.

You said that you rebelled just to find a bite to eat, and you want to live, but after you were recruited, what did you say, eat empty my Jingbian Fort, and then rebel, and then be recruited, do you say that the purpose of your rebellion is really just to find a bite to eat and live? ”

"How do you know what I'm talking about!?" When Dianhong heard Liu Renyu say such words, she was immediately shocked.

After he was stunned for a while, Fang Cai smiled gloomily: "It turns out that those two hooves told you, hehe, you must have already taken them to the bed, right?" Those two hooves are good, but they are cheap for you. ”

"Do you think that people are like you, beasts that look like people? Let me ask you, is it true that the real purpose of your rebellion is to find a bite to eat? Liu Renyu didn't bother to pay attention to the little red nonsense, he continued to question the other party.

Of course, the purpose of Dianhong's later rebellion was no longer to find a bite to eat, but to live the kind of unrestrained, whatever he wanted, and the life of a human being, so he listened to Liu Renyu's questioning, and could only remain silent and speechless.

Liu Renyu stared at the silent little red for a while, then turned to the jury and said: "The village elders of the jury, the witnesses have already presented evidence to accuse Li Shengman and others of the crimes, and their rebellion is also a fait accompli, which cannot be questioned, I mean sentence them to death, and it is Ling Chi to death, I don't know what the village elders of the jury think?" ”

It is said that these villagers were all temporarily brought in to make up the number, how could they raise objections, and a few thieves such as a little red really deserve to die, so they naturally agreed: "We have no objections." ”

"Okay, come on, pull down Li Shengman, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er, and Wang Zishun and put Ling Chi to death."

"Yes, sir." When Liu Renjie got the order, he ordered his subordinates to take a little red and the others to the execution ground on the left side of the trial table and tie them up firmly.

Then there were officials who took off the clothes of a little red and others, and then some officials covered a little red and others with fishing nets and tightened them, so that the flesh on a little red and others protruded, and finally there was an executioner with a ghost head knife in his hand, and one after another, cut off the flesh on the heads of these thieves piece by piece.

At this time, when the people saw that Yidian Hong and others were being tortured, they all called Liu Renyu 'Qingtian Master', and then all the people ran to the place where Dianhong and others were tortured, and when they saw the executioner cutting a knife, they cheered.

Others knelt on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, looking at the sky and comforting their loved ones who were already in another world.

"Mother, a little red guy was killed by Liu Qingtian, you can rest in peace."

"That, Zhang Shusheng, who killed you and our family, was delayed by Liu Qingtian, and your revenge has finally been avenged."

Some of the people who hated the thief leader were so angry that they simply went directly to grab the meat cut by the executioner, and as soon as they grabbed it, they put it in their mouths and chewed it fiercely.

It is said that this Ling Chi's punishment is really tragic, saying that it is a perfect execution to be cut to 3,600 knives, but when it is only cut to 1,000 knives, a little red and others can't even shout out the sound of a miserable howl.

Liu Renyu saw that Dianhong and the others were about to die, so he said to Liu Renjie: "Go, throw them into the mass grave, and let the wild wolves split their corpses and let them die without a whole body." ”

"Yes, sir." When Liu Renjie received the order, he ordered his subordinates to throw a little red and others, who were no longer humanoid, into a mass grave outside the city.

When a little red and others were thrown into a mass grave, the public trial meeting came to an end. When the people saw their enemies in ambush, they all went to their homes with great joy.

Liu Renyu took this opportunity to let the people see the jury system, although it was very rude, but it was the prototype of judicial independence in Jingbianbao in the future, and it was to be implemented in all places under his rule.

"It seems that I am going to train judges, prosecutors, and lawyers." Liu Renyu was on the way back to his garrison mansion, thinking as he walked.
