Text: Chapter 184: The Public Trial Conference
After a while, the head of the cell brought four pots of fine wine with a wooden plate, handed them to a little red hand and said: "Take it, this is our Shaanxi Fuping's fine wine Shi Lianchun, you can take it and drink it." ”
"Thank you, boss." A little red bowed in thanks.
"You guys eat slowly." After the cell boss had finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the cell with his guard.
"Come, Brother Zhang Shusheng, Brother Ji San'er, it's fate that we can get acquainted once, let's have one last meal of wine and food." A little red brought Shi Lianchun to the side of the roasted whole sheep, and summoned Zhang Shusheng and Ji San'er to eat wine and food with him.
"Master Li, we're here." Zhang Shusheng and Ji San'er agreed, and then they came to a little red and sat cross-legged.
"Brother Wang Zishun, you don't have to think about it anymore, Liu Renyu can't spare you, no matter how you ask for mercy, it's useless, you can come and have a meal with us, it's a death to the left and right, you have to be a full ghost." You say yes and no. A little red said softly to Wang Xishun, who was still standing at the door of the cell.
But Wang Zishun still just stared at the wall of the cell opposite in a daze, still without saying a word.
"Forget it, Master Li, most of this guy is crazy, let's ignore him, let's eat wine and food." Zhang Shusheng saw that Wang Zishun was still in a state of confusion, so he persuaded other people to ignore Wang Zishun.
"Looks like that's the end of it." With a bitter smile, he picked up the wine jug, poured himself a glass, and then raised his glass to Zhang Shusheng and Ji San'er and said: "Tomorrow, I don't know if I can touch it in the underworld, so let's have a drink to say goodbye." ”
"You just have to rest assured about this Master Li, we all know what we have done. After we die, when we go underground, we will definitely go to the eighteen layers of hell, and we may be able to touch them. Zhang Shusheng smiled slightly and said firmly.
"Then maybe, for the hurtful things I did, Lord Yama will definitely sentence me to the worst and most suffering level." Ji San'er pursed her lips and said with a big grin.
"Am I doing worse than you? Lord Yama will definitely sentence me to the most severe and suffering level. A little red smirked.
"I am not bad for you to create great evils, but I am afraid that I will still go to the same place with you after all, and suffer from the sword mountain and sea of fire." Zhang Shusheng smiled miserably, and even the hand holding the wine glass was trembling.
"Are you scared!?" A little red squinted his eyes and asked in a loud voice.
"How can you not be afraid! Suffer all life. Zhang Shusheng frowned and said uneasily.
"What's the use of being afraid! Anyway, this life is also chic and happy, and the young lady of the big family doesn't know how much she sleeps, even if she goes to hell to suffer from that punishment, it is also worth it. A little red said lightly.
"Li Ye is right, at least we are happy in this life. Come, there is wine today and drunk today, let's go one. Ji San'er held the wine glass and persuaded the wine.
"Come, drink." Zhang Shusheng said a little red in agreement, then raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup.
As they were about to have a second drink, the prince, who had been silent until now, staggered over and, without saying a word, stared at the jug on the wooden plate.
"Brother Wang Zishun, do you want to come for a drink?" Seeing that the prince was coming, a little red asked the other party with a smile.
"There are four jugs of wine here, which one is mine?" Wang Zishun listened to a little red question, but did not answer, but asked in a muffled voice.
"That's it." A little red pointed to a pot of wine.
After hearing this answer, Wang Zishun snatched the wine jug without saying a word, lifted the lid of the wine jug, and poured wine into his mouth.
At this time, Wang Zishun did not eat, his stomach was empty, and he drank such a big pot, and immediately felt that his head was as big as a fight, and the sky was spinning, and he fainted to the ground in the blink of an eye, unconscious.
"Hehe, this is a good way, when you get drunk, when you go to bed later, you won't be able to sleep because you keep thinking about dying tomorrow." A little red looked at the drunk Wang Zishun, first sighed, and then he said to Zhang Shusheng and Ji San'er: "Come, brothers, let's continue to drink." ”

In the Jingbian Fort garrison mansion, in the conference room, Liu Renyu sat in the center, Ma Tianjun, Yang Desheng and Ma Wenshan sat in the lower position, and Liu Renjie stood behind Liu Renyu.
"At present, all the henchmen of the thieves such as a little red have been eliminated, and the bad deeds of these thieves have also been reported to Hong Junmen. As for how to deal with these thieves who intend to cause chaos, Hong Junmen said a word. ”
Liu Renyu paused at this point.
Ma Tianjun saw that Liu Renyu had stopped talking, so he habitually continued: "Dare to ask my lord, what is Hong Junmen's approval?" ”
"Kill!" Liu Renyu squeezed out the word from between his teeth.
"My lord, the thieves are making trouble, and it is right to kill them, but I don't understand why I have to hold a public trial, just send Wang Zuo to kill them, why bother?" Li Jiye felt that the public trial conference was purely superfluous, so he asked such a question.
In fact, this question is also what Ma Wenshan, Ma Tianjun and others want to ask.
"The purpose of convening the public trial conference is to show everyone the future judicial trial model of our Jingbian Fort. What I mean is that in the future, our judicial trials will be conducted independently, and the case in Jingbianbao will no longer be tried by me or by Mayor Ma, but will be tried by a special judge, and we will not interfere in the judiciary.
Of course, we don't have judges yet, and I plan to train criminal talents who are familiar with the "Da Ming Law" first, and then fully implement judicial independence under my rule. Tomorrow's judgment is a model, and you can take a look at it. ”
"Oh, it turns out that adults have such a deep meaning!" Although Li Jiye and others did not quite understand the meaning of judicial independence, since Liu Renyu wanted to vigorously promote this system, this system was naturally excellent, so of course they would not raise any objections.
Liu Renyu waited until everyone finished expressing their feelings, and then asked Ma Tianjun: "Can you publicize this trial meeting?" ”
"If you are a big man, the students have sent their right-hand men to publicize the trial. Considering that there are not many literate people in Jingbianbao, the students are all sent to publicize it orally. ”
"Very well, is the jury ready to choose?"
"If you go back to adulthood, the jury chosen by the students is all well-respected villagers. According to your instructions, a total of 7 people were selected. ”
"Very good. Has the altar for tomorrow's judgment been erected? ”
"If you go back to your lordship, Daddy Zhao led the people and craftsmen to work day and night, and they were all built according to your requirements."
"Very good, now that everything has been arranged, you will go back first, and if nothing happens tomorrow, the public trial will be held as scheduled."
"Yes, my lord, I will retire from my position (student)."
***********
On the second day, outside the east city of Jingbian Fort, there was a sea of people, and all the people over the age of 16 in Jingbian Fort, except for a few elderly people, disabled people, and sick people with limited mobility, all took Baojia as a unit, and sat in the designated area in turn with Xiaoma Zha in accordance with the corresponding numbering order of Baojia.
Generally speaking, if there is such a large-scale gathering of tens of thousands of people in Daming, it goes without saying that the meeting site must be very noisy and noisy, but this is not the case in Jingbianbao.
Liu Renyu implemented an authoritarian legalist governance model for Jingbian Fort, and the quality requirements for the people were extremely detailed and extremely strict, and the people did not adapt to such a strict legal model at the beginning, and they were punished with all kinds of corporal punishment at every turn.
In this way, after a long time, the people remembered the "Ming Citizen Quality Regulations" promulgated by Liu Renyu, which is a variety of regulations on citizen quality.
For example, this regulation says that large gatherings, abide by public morality, do not litter, do not destroy public facilities, and so on.
The ordinance did not say that it was forbidden to speak, but the people were very afraid that if they spoke out, they would be considered a violation of the ordinance, and with so many people gathered in one place, no one made unnecessary noise.
Under the leadership of their respective security chiefs, the people came to the venue to take a look, and found that Liu Renyu, the number one general of Jingbian Fort, was already dressed in civilian clothes and was standing on the ceremonial platform waiting for everyone, while other generals of Jingbian Fort, such as Zhang Tieniu, Liu Renjie and others, were also standing on the ceremonial platform. In front of these generals was a row of tables, facing them, the people.
In addition to these generals, Mayor Ma also stood on the platform, but Mayor Ma did not stand with Liu Renyu, he stood on the right side opposite Liu Renyu, ten steps away from Liu Renyu.
On the left side opposite Liu Renyu, there is an object made of wood, much like a prisoner cart with the roof removed.
On the far left side of the altar, there is a row of stools, on which seven elderly people are seated.
Looking at this posture, the people of Jingbian Fort were a little puzzled, the government tried the case, what did these moths do, isn't it just that the eldest master is convicted, and the autumn queen asks if it will be over? How did the current situation come about?
Just when the people were puzzled, Liu Renyu on the ceremonial platform suddenly shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen of Jingbian Fort, I invite you to come here today, there is a big case to be tried. Please come and listen, the main culprits in this case are a little red Li Shengman, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er and Wang Zishun.
These people used to be the leaders of the thieves, after being recruited by the imperial court, they did not think of changing their minds and re-becoming people, but they conspired to cause chaos and tried to re-raise the matter, but fortunately, the secret agents of my news investigation department discovered the conspiracy of this gang of thieves in time, and I arrested them all in time, and now I will hold a public trial meeting to publicly try this gang of thieves. ”
Liu Renyu first said a lot of opening remarks to the people, and then said to Liu Renjie beside him: "Renjie, go, bring a little red and other criminals up." ”
"Yes, sir." Liu Renjie got the order, so he went straight to pick up a little red and the others.
