The people were not satisfied when they heard Ru Yu's last words: Even if the interrogation is not finished today, you will explain it to the next public trial! What does it mean to leave a small tail like this at the end of the case!

But everyone dared to shout "kill him" at the criminal, but they did not dare to speak like this to the officials present. The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is already an official who is as high as the sky, and ordinary people will never see a second-grade official once in their lives, how dare they raise objections in front of him?

However, even if the last little tail is not solved, what I saw today is already quite surprising, and it can be bragged to the people who couldn't squeeze in to hear the trial today, so after everyone dispersed, they immediately talked nonsense with other people with great interest.

"It turns out that the witchcraft needs to use these things, to make strange corpses, and many things that have never been seen before, today is considered a long insight." "Why are you staring at these, I didn't dare to look at it twice, for fear of nightmares at night!"

"It turns out that the Heavenly Sect disciples are really so bad to those who don't believe in their sect, and they want to kill them all, but they can't do it now. In the future, you have to be careful with the domestic people. People from Fanguo can't get in, but domestic ones are indispensable. "All the lustful people in the country can be killed, and then the women are reduced to slaves and maids, and they are all gone."

"Today, although this Samarkand spy named Singh is very hateful, he can still be regarded as a man, although I am in charge of hundreds of station coolies, and the people in the rivers and lakes respect me as a man, but I am still far worse than him. The person named Su Dongli is too pustular, if he can find a life, he can do it, but he still dies after a long time, which is a joke. ”

There was also talk of the gentry. "Old Sun, who do you think the other gentry who are connected with them?" "How dare I say that? Don't dare to talk nonsense at this juncture. ”

"Cut, cowardly." "You're not cowardly, you say!" "I don't know, how do you say that?"

Bai Wenyu followed the current, and his second uncle Bai Jingshuang slowly walked out surrounded by servants and walked towards their own courtyard.

While walking, Bai Jingshuang also muttered: "I don't know who the other people who are involved with the spies of Samarkand are?" Will it implicate our family? ”

He muttered like this a few times, and suddenly, Bai Wenyu, who had been frowning just now, said, "Second uncle, I finally figured out why His Majesty the Emperor wanted to hold a public trial. He lowered his voice in the second half of the sentence.

"Why?" Seeing him like this, Bai Jingshuang also asked in a low voice.

Bai Wenyu didn't answer his question immediately, until he came to the place where he parked the carriage, got into the carriage and let the horse run, and then he said to Bai Jingshuang: "The emperor's intention is to rectify our gentry in Guangdong. As for the war with Samarkand, it is all a trivial incident. ”

"As early as not long after His Majesty came to Guangdong, the emperor was not very satisfied with it after hearing that Yang Bu's political envoy said that the gentry in Guangdong were very powerful, and the Tuke weapons were very powerful, and it seemed that he had the intention of punishing us."

"But how can a ruler do to punish a gentry in one place? His Majesty can only think of some other way to solve this matter, and cannot punish it rashly. ”

"But these cases have given His Majesty a chance." Bai Jingshuang is not a fool, and he has already understood after listening to Bai Wenyu say these words: "Since ancient times, Xingda Prison has been the only way to rectify the strong and powerful, and several major cases of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty have been widely involved, which is to rectify the local strong and powerful. ”

"Exactly." Bai Wenyu sneered: "As long as the emperor still cherishes his reputation, the prison can't be done just by finding a reason, and the local officials may not be convinced." But the evidence in these two cases is conclusive, and no one can say anything against the king's appointment. ”

"The emperor first aroused the anger of the people with the Caisheng and witch cases, and then led to the involvement of the gentry of Guangdong in the case of the Samarkand State traitors, so that the people not only did not doubt this, but also resented such people."

"The clan power in Guangdong is very large, if Your Majesty only interrogates the case with the government and reports the case to the people afterwards, although Your Majesty can do it if you punish the gentry, the people will be suspicious of this matter, and there will be gentry who will encourage the people to fight against the government, and it will take a lot of effort to do it; But after such a public trial, the people were not only convinced but also very disgusted by the fact that the gentry had colluded with the spies of Samarkand, and the gentry could not agitate the people at all, and the government could easily achieve its goal. ”

"As for which one is colluding with Samarkand, it's not a matter of the government's words?" Bai Wenyu ended with this sentence in the end.

After that, the two sat in the carriage for a long time without saying anything, and after a long time, Bai Jingshuang asked, "That Wenyu, how should our family deal with this matter?" ”

Bai Wenyu was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then he spoke: "There is no way, I can only find ways to prevent our family from becoming the target of the government." ”

They saw through Yun Xi's thoughts, and not only them, but many of the gentry who sent people to watch the case today were able to see through his thoughts, but what was the use? Yun Xi used an upright plan, and it was impossible for them to explain to the people one by one, and even if they explained whether the people accepted it, there were two theories; As for the foolish behavior of using one's own family to fight against the government alone, it is even more foolish to hit a stone with an egg, originally the government may just want to punish your family slightly, which is equivalent to wanting the whole clan to be exiled. Now that Annam has just been conquered, the imperial court must have hoped that many people would go to Annam to settle down.

"Using our family's relationship in Guangzhou officialdom, we must try our best not to let our family be included in the list. Our family is related to the Hua family, and the Hua family is also quite favored by His Majesty, so let the Hua family help dredge. Don't be afraid to spend gold and silver, if you are punished this time, you may be moved to Annam with your family, and then everything will be over. ”

"It really didn't work, so I sacrificed a few houses and took the initiative to propose to the government to go to Annan. The government is worried about this matter, and suddenly comes to the sleepy person to send pillows, aren't you happy? Seeing that our family is so knowledgeable and interested, I will let go of the others. As for these houses, subsidize them with more money, and then ask the Hua family to help take care of them in Annan. Hua Gang Hua Zishi is in Annan, and the last time I chatted with Hua Rong, I heard him say that Hua Gang might fall in Annan, so please he will be able to take care of it. ”

In the end, Bai Wenyu said: "We must pay attention to this matter day and night these days, so as not to let our family be rectified by the imperial court." ”
