"Lord Wang, I don't accept it!"

Zhou Ping shouted: "My lord, why did Yuan Kui kill someone and only detain him for twenty years. I didn't kill anyone, but it would take fifteen years, twenty canes and eighty canes? ”

Wang Mang replied: "There are three reasons. First, it starts with you. Second, you have a reputation and are familiar with poetry and calligraphy, but you know the law and break the law. Third, after you were caught, you joined forces with others to confess. Although Yuan Kui killed people, he was not educated, illiterate, and did not know legal principles. There's a shimmer of discretionary forgiveness, and you don't. ”

"Zhou Ping, how dare you say more?" An old man said angrily: "Lord Wang Shengming judged and did not behead you, this is the extrajudicial grace of your lordship." But you did not repent, and instead of thanking the king for his kindness, you blamed the lord for the judgment. It can be seen that you have no intention of repenting in your heart, and you deserve to be punished severely. ”

Wang Mang looked at the beautiful woman Ye, who was as beautiful as a flower and had a good posture. is comparable to Wang Jingyan, and her whole body exudes a kind of superb young woman charm.

Wang Mang couldn't help but look at it a few more times, then sighed, and said slowly: "Sinner Ye, you don't respect Zhende, you fornicate with others, causing a tragedy to happen, and Li Ao died, this is a great crime of human ethics that cannot be forgiven.

This official remembered that you were pregnant, and it was the first time that you bowed your head and confessed your sins. In addition, the child in your womb is also innocent, and the sentence is seven months' imprisonment without corporal punishment. After the birth of your child, you can make a lot of merits, do more good deeds, make up for your mistakes, and honor the three virtues. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, sinner, thank you, thank you." Ye sobbed.

After Wang Mang's verdict, he glanced at the woman again.

After thinking for a long time, he got up and got off the top and came to this woman.

Everyone was puzzled and a little puzzled.

Wang Mang came to Ye's front and back, and whispered a few words to her.

After hearing this, Ye's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was a little hesitant.

She reached out and stroked her abdomen, gritted her teeth and said, "My lord, I promise you this." ”

"Good, good, good!" Wang Mang said overjoyed.

"Thank you, sir." Ye nodded.

After Wang Mang sentenced the three people, he asked the soldiers to put all the people in prison, and then said to everyone: "This case has been revealed, and there is nothing wrong with it." Ladies and gentlemen, although this case happened to others, I hope that you fathers and elders can educate future generations and remind themselves. Don't give away your freedom for the sake of momentary greed.

You need to know that there are gods in the first three feet. No matter what you do that hurts heaven and reason, no matter how much you hide your sophistry, the gods will know about it and will do it fairly. Those who are guilty will not escape justice after all. ”

"Yes, my lord, the grass people remember the teachings of adults, and dare not forget each other." Everyone is right.

"Quit!" Wang Mang waved his hand and turned around and walked towards the side hall.

The people, the city lord, and the staff listened to the words, and began to disperse in twos and threes.

However, at this moment, a sudden drum beat was heard outside.

After the drum sounded, several more people shouted that they had been wronged, and the screams continued.

Everyone was suspicious, not knowing what had happened.

When Wang Mang heard the voice, he also stopped, and turned his head to look out of the door.

After a while, I saw more than a dozen people break in. And three of them were covered in blood, trembling, and seriously wounded. The rest, with clubs in their hands or bricks, pursued the three men.

"Dare to disrupt the people, dare to trespass into the court, and commit murder in public?"

The city lord Zheng Zhonglun was shocked, and shouted at the soldiers: "Come on, quickly take down all these people for this official." ”

Such a thing happened outside the court, and his face turned blue with anger.

It's too humiliating and discrediting.

If Wang Mang, Wang Hai, and Wang Ping are not here, this matter is easy to say. However, Wang Mang and the three of them were here at the moment, and he was naturally furious and angry.

In the city of Laishan under his jurisdiction, nothing major has happened for several years. The wind and rain have always been smooth, and the law and order are excellent. The murder of Li Ao this time is actually the first homicide case.

Therefore, his name as the city lord has always been recognized by some other high-level officials. thinks that he is indeed superior and can better govern one side.

Now, this kind of thing is happening here in the public court, doesn't this mean that the law and order in this city are extremely corrupt?

A bad thing can negate all the good things before, Zheng Zhonglun secretly complained in his heart, not knowing how to be good.

After the three people covered in blood broke into the court in a panic, they immediately cried and begged: "Adults, please help, adults, please help..."

The men who were chasing after tried to kill the three men, but they were all intercepted by the soldiers.

Their faces turned red with anger, and they shouted: "The three of you eat things inside and out, uncle, I don't kill you and swear not to be a person." ”

Wang Mang was very surprised that at the door of the court, there were still people who dared to blatantly threaten others and ignore the majesty of the official law, which was a strange thing.

Then he sat back in the presiding judge's seat, let these people who shouted that they were going to be beaten and killed into the court, and asked, "What are your grievances?" Why do you want to commit murder in public? Now you can go through everything and make no mistake. ”

The people who were just about to leave, seeing that something was happening again, became interested one by one, and gathered around again, pointing and talking.

The seven or eight people who shouted that they were going to fight and kill asked Wang Mang, "Who are you?" How do you sit on the throne of the lord of the city? ”

"I am Wang Mang, the person in charge of the case sent by General Wang Xianzhi to try the murder of Li Ao." Wang Mang replied.

"What? Are you Wang Mang? Damn bastard, there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell and you break in. Today, uncle, I will make you die a good death. Seven or eight big men roared at the same time, and then rushed up together to kill Wang Mang.

"Bold!"

The city lord Zheng Zhonglun panicked, got up and blocked Wang Mang, and roared wildly: "Come on, quickly take down this group of chaotic ministers and thieves for this official, cut off the heads of the people, and the corpses will be violent for seven days." ”

He knew that if Wang Mang was killed here, he would definitely be exterminated by the Nine Clans. If Wang Mang was hurt in the slightest, he would definitely be beheaded all over the house. If Wang Mang was frightened here, he would also be sentenced to death.

All in all, Wang Mang must not be threatened by any life here. If you are scolded twice by civilians, it is reasonable to say so-so, and you will be blamed twice by the top after the incident.

Therefore, when the people scolded Wang Mang at the beginning, he did not have any worries.

But now it's different, these people blatantly want to kill Wang Mang, and this nature has changed.

When Wang Mang saw everyone killing, he was also a little panicked and completely at a loss.

Fortunately, the soldiers on both sides were a little guarded and blocked everyone's attack at the first time.

Wang Hai glanced at it, nodded secretly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he was appreciative.

When everyone was taken down by the soldiers, Wang Mang stabilized himself, no longer afraid, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know you and others, why do you want to kill me as soon as you meet?" Why? Tell me about it. ”

"Bah, you dog. Official. I can't kill you today, but someone else will kill you for me in the future. ”

A strong man said in a fierce voice: "Wang Mang, you can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth." A dog like you who eats inside and out. Official, I just hate that I can't take down your dog with my own hands. The head is overwhelming. ”

Wang Mang saw that he couldn't ask anything famous, so he asked the three strong men who were beaten, "Why did they kill you?" What is the reason for this? ”

One of the beaten strong men replied: "Lord Qiqi, these people oppose your lordship to cede the six counties and quell the siege of the strong forces, and do not agree with you to transfer money and grain from Yuzhou to the 40,000 people you brought from Zhuzhou.

The little ones think that your move is morally appropriate, so they support it. However, when they learned about our thoughts, they said that they were going to kill us and others. Just now, they committed a crime and wanted to kill adults, and it was also for this reason. ”
