In the ninety mile, a total of 12,000 Jin Provincial Township soldiers surrendered to Xu Shiyang, and in addition, they captured more than 1,000 core members of the Eight Great Shihou families, such as nephews, family members, doormen, and chief stewards, and handed them over to Xu Shiyang.

Since the township soldiers took the initiative to take refuge, they were not considered prisoners, and the only ones who really needed to be disposed of were the core members of the more than 1,000 Shihou families.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, the township soldiers elected several deputies to meet Xu Shiyang.

"You mean to say that you want me to severely punish those family members?"

Xu Shiyang smiled and looked at the representatives of the township soldiers - looking at their faces, they knew that most of them were peasants with their backs to the sky facing the loess, but if these honest people were angry, they would also burst out with the most terrifying energy.

If they don't channel their emotions well, they can destroy everything.

If I can use this power to my advantage, they will naturally be able to build a new world with their industrious hands and endless passion.

"Tell me why." Xu Shiyang said politely: "You should all know that I have never deliberately harmed my fathers and fellow villagers when I came to Jin Province. ”

The delegates were a little restless, they knew that the pleasant young man in front of them was the crown prince (they couldn't tell the difference between the prince and the crown prince), and he was an eldest lord who was bigger than the eldest patriarch.

In the simple imagination of the peasants, such a big man is a star in the sky, a demigod in a sense.

Now the demigods sit before them, do not let them kneel, give them seats, and are willing to listen carefully to their pleas.

It's a novel experience, but ......, it really doesn't feel bad.

He ...... Their guillotine killed Zhang Lao Liu...... "An old man with gray hair and beard said softly: "Zhang Lao Liu is over sixty years old, the family died of a son last year, the daughter-in-law was dragged to pay off the debt, only a granddaughter was left, and he was dragged to fight, just because he was ......, he was let go by the prince, those brutes killed him, his granddaughter was only eight years old, and she couldn't live at all, and the whole family of the old Zhang family was killed by these beasts!" ”

It seems that this old man is quite respectable in his hometown, and at the beginning of his life, the others immediately summoned up the courage to complain:

"These brutes are not people!"

"That's right! That Master Huang is Huang Shiren alive! He robbed Brother Liu's daughter-in-law last year! ”

"He also robbed the daughter of the old Wang family! What a good girl, let him die in two days! ”

"I heard that he robbed the daughter of a good family to sell it to the Mughuls!"

"Phew, why didn't he spoil his daughter to the Tartars!"

Bilibili, Bilibili .......

The township soldiers had no discipline at all, and more than two dozen deputies scrambled to say that in the end, it was difficult for Xu Shiyang to distinguish the specific meaning of their words from the thick Jin Provincial dialect.

But you can guess it, it's nothing more than usury, heavy taxes, taking people's ancestral property, and then bullying men and women, torture and killing, and so on.

Is it a foreign tax collector, ancient and modern China and foreign countries are this virtue.

Xu Shiyang listened attentively, and let the deputies complain in the tent for nearly an hour, if he hadn't interrupted everyone at the end, it is estimated that this accusation would not have stopped until night.

"Okay, okay, I kind of get it."

Xu Shiyang smiled and said:

"It's a great sin, but I can't just listen to one family."

"Well, I'll organize a public trial, and all of you villagers will be the accusers, and make all these things public, and if they can show evidence that they haven't done these things, I'll give them rations and release them as I did with you before."

"If they can't come up with ......, hehe, I'll call the shots for you then."

Although he did not investigate carefully, Xu Shiyang believed that what these people just said was true, because most of those things actually happened to them.

They are the victims.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie......"

Hearing that the prince was willing to "ascend to the court to decide the case", all the deputies got up from their chairs together, and they were about to kneel down to Xu Shiyang, who had been prepared, Xu Shiyang, who had already prepared, gave a look, and his personal guards skillfully stepped forward to support these old men - the representatives of the township soldiers are all old men over fifty years old, maybe this is considered well-informed among ordinary township soldiers?

In fact, if the case is really judged fairly and the two sides are allowed to collect evidence by themselves, Xu Shiyang feels that the township soldiers will definitely be defeated and lost by the Shihou family - the knowledge of the two sides is not at the same level, and the township soldiers' complaint adheres to a simple concept - if someone else's family is ruined, it is a bad person.

But if you really strictly follow the law and take advantage of the loopholes of the law, whether it is the law of the Great Zhou or the current law of the Qi State, the vast majority of illiterate township soldiers have no ability to resist in the face of the Shihou family.

Fortunately, Xu Shiyang did not want a fair and just trial, his position was very clear - on the side of the Eight Great Marquis and the people of Jin Province, he stood on the latter, and if the people of Jin Province had this need, he would not mind using the most brutal means to eliminate the Shihou family.

Therefore, the public trial meeting from the fifth day of June to the seventh day of June was actually a carnival of the common people, and Xu Shiyang sent Qi army staff to count the accusations of the township soldiers against Shihou and Shihou's family, and then compiled them into a book and recited them aloud in public places.

If the family fails to produce rebuttal evidence within three days, then the complaint is valid.

Of course, they couldn't produce any evidence, because they were still in the prisoner of war camp.

So, on the seventh day of the sixth month, Xu Shiyang announced the verdict, and all the captured princes, nephews, and cronies were sentenced to death.

……

Bang Dang!

The fine celadon teacup was slammed to the ground, and it was instantly shattered.

The head of the eight princes of Jin Province, Master Fan Yongdou Fan walked around the hall anxiously and angrily, surrounded by the heads of the other seven princely families, several clan elders, adult sons-in-law, the head of the great housekeeper, the most trusted doorman and the head of the family, and a few Mengwu nobles who spent a lot of money to help in the war.

"Xu Shiyang! Xu Shiyang! My Fan family and you don't share the sky! Master Fan Yongdou howled like a wounded wolf.

Except for the Mugul, who still drank tea indifferently, everyone else was concerned.

The news that Xu Shiyang killed Shihou's family in Ninety Miles has just reached Datong, and many of his sons and nephews were killed by Xu Shiyang.

"That's right! We have no grudges with his Xu family in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, but he has been hard pressed against us, and now he is even more fighting! ”

Wang Dengku, the head of the Wang family, also stood up and howled:

"Kill my nephew and take my property! What kind of public trial meeting did you deceive those foolish men and foolish women! What a joke! ”

"Is it tolerable or unbearable, Master Fan, let's hurry up and raise the soldiers, kill Guangchang, and cut that Xu Shiyang with a thousand knives!"
