Chapter 242: Autumn Storm (II)
The 2,500 officers and men of the Hangzhou Guard Station, who suddenly arrived, immediately completely controlled the people who were filled with righteous indignation because someone had died in the court of law. Although there were more people in terms of numbers, they were faced with sergeants with bright swords and guns, and there were hundreds of strong bows with arrows in front of them, which made the people dare not make any changes.
As he kept approaching, some soldiers immediately stepped forward to drive the people who were blocking him aside, making way for him to make way for him.
The dark-faced, tall, and murderous general with a murderous aura hidden in the corners of his eyebrows didn't even look at the shrinking eyes of the people around him, and directly came to the execution table, and looked directly at the two prison officials above: "Two adults, what the hell is going on?" ”
"General Chen, there are really people playing right and wrong behind today's incident, which has aroused the anger of these people. I don't know who is hiding the evil intentions, and actually spread the word that Chang Wenyu, the key criminal to be killed today, was impersonated. This guy actually ran out to disturb the public and bewitch the people during the execution! Hua Qianfeng immediately stood up and hugged his fist at the other party: "If it weren't for the general, you would have arrived in time with the troops, I'm afraid the consequences would be unpredictable." ”
"As soon as the general came back from training with his troops, he heard the sound of turmoil here, and I didn't expect that there were such bold people in my city of Hangzhou." Chen Shihu turned his head sharply, staring at the man who had already been suppressed on the side: "Say, what are your intentions?" And by whom? ”
The man's face was already pale, and he was both in pain after being held down and eaten a few times, and he was also panicked. He was instructed by Xie Jingchang to come out today, and he didn't expect things to become so out of control. Especially the arrival of the army, which made him feel even more frightened. But now, things have come to this point, and he obviously has no other choice but to hold on to the end, so he turned his heart and said: "This general, what the villain said is true, it is really the government to cover up people, and instructed Chang Wenyu to get away with the crime, the villain can't see it before he points out the problem, and I hope the general will investigate clearly!" ”
Xie Jingchang had already calmed down a little at this time. The suddenness of the incident surprised him a little. At that time, the first reaction was to quickly withdraw from this place, but now, the officers and soldiers have blocked all the surrounding areas, and they will definitely not be able to leave. And listening to what the general said, he also happened to intervene in this matter just after it, so this time the matter is still doing something.
Thinking of this, Xie Jingchang immediately gave a look to the healthy servants beside him, this person's reaction was also quite fast, and he was bold enough, even if the surrounding officers and soldiers were staring at him, he still shouted loudly: "The government is unfair, you should give us an explanation!" The prisoner on the stage really doesn't have a real room temperature jade! ”
"Presumptuous!" When the soldiers on the side heard him speak, they were furious, and they took up their knives and were about to slash him. But at this moment, another shout sounded in the crowd: "The government is unfair, I can't wait!" ”
"Shut up with me!" Chen Shihu turned around suddenly, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he roared angrily, and he actually suppressed everyone's voices at once. It wasn't until he saw that the scene was suppressed by himself that he snorted and said, "Since I was supposed to be here, I will give you justice." I'm not from the Hangzhou government or the Criminal Division, so I won't collude with them, right? ”
When he said this, the people naturally did not dare to doubt it, so they had to look at him to see how he could distinguish right from wrong.
Chen Shihu had already turned around at this time and looked at the two prison officials again: "Governor Huafu, Lord Guo, if you can't come up with conclusive evidence for this matter today, even the general will not be able to speak for you." ”
Hua Qianfeng smiled bitterly: "Just now, this person kept saying that it was the official of my government who shielded the replacement of the criminal, but the lower officials couldn't say anything in order to avoid suspicion." Let Master Guo prove the innocence of the government. ”
Guo Quan had also walked out of the back of the case at this time, and arched his hand at Chen Shihu and said: "General Chen, I have always been strict in my actions when I mention the Criminal Division, and I have never dared to make such a big mistake, and there will be absolutely no problem with the people above." Not to mention that we have just been found to be right, before we take over the prisoners of the government and bring them out of prison, they will have to be examined again. That man is indeed a normal temperature jade. ”
Chen Shihu just glanced at everyone on the execution platform and said, "Master Guo, there is no basis for what you say, you have to come up with some evidence." ”
"This ...... Yamen's words may not be believed by many people now, so it is better to let someone who knows Chang Wenyu come to the stage to inspect it. After hesitating for a moment, Guo Quan gave his own solution.
Chen Shihu thought for a while, then turned his gaze to the people on the side: "You keep saying that the person is fake, then come and admit it!" However, one or two people may not be convincing, so let's come up more. But ......" said him, his eyes flashed with murderous intent: "If someone dares to lie and make trouble after coming up, don't blame Ben for not giving him a chance." ”
The government can make such concessions today, and is willing to ask the people to come to the stage to check the authenticity of the prisoner, and everyone naturally does not dare to have any objections or doubts, and someone immediately stood up, saying that he had a relationship with the young master of the Chang family and recognized his appearance.
So in just a few moments, more than a dozen people of different ages and dressed in different clothes were brought onto the wooden platform. Before they came to power, they were also asked about their identities and origins, and as long as they dared to talk nonsense on the stage, even if the officers and soldiers did not trouble them, the government officials would not spare them.
And after seeing that the government made concessions so easily, and was willing to let people go up to inspect it, Xie Jingchang's heart suddenly hung up: "Do you say...... Is the one above really room temperature jade? This is impossible, I not only heard about him from Xuan Cheng, but also heard the news from others. After the end of this year, the Chang family did spend a lot of money in the government, and this thing can't be faked! ”
But this bit of his luck was quickly broken by the accusations of the people above: "He is the young master of the Chang family!" The people who went up said the same thing one after another, pointing to one of the young men whose hair had been pulled aside to reveal a pale face.
Although there was a distance away, Xie Jingchang could still vaguely see the appearance of this person. This dejected, wooden-faced guy is the Chang Wen Yu who was looking for flowers and willows in Hangzhou with him! The only thing that's a little strange is that this guy doesn't look like he's been in prison for more than half a year, not only is his body clean, but even his complexion doesn't look like a person who has suffered hardship.
"How so?" Xie Jingchang stared at all this in front of him in disbelief, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
At this time, Guo Quan had already spoken: "Fellow villagers, you are being used. It was someone who wanted to disrupt today's Dharma field that released such demagogic news. How can the government act in such a chaotic manner, and I hope you will not be so confused in the future. ”
At this time, the people lowered their heads, and some people whispered a word, but more, they looked left and right, trying to find out which one of the killers was deceiving everyone, and they were almost killed by the officers and soldiers. It's just that the burst of bullet pressure after the arrival of the officers and soldiers just now has squeezed the people together, and even those who shouted the most happily just now have already blended into the crowd at this time, and it is difficult to find them again.
"General Chen, look...... Now that the matter is clear, this autumn must not be delayed. Guo Quan looked at Chen Shihu again.
Chen Shihu nodded: "What the adults said is, then continue the execution." ”
Soon, the executioners came behind the condemned prisoner again, and as Guo Quan threw out the bamboo stick again and shouted to slash, the Xueliang ghost head knife quickly slashed down, cutting off all the heads of the seven prisoners who had died for a long time.
Blood burst out, the head fell to the ground, and it was still rolling on the ground a few times before the body slammed to the ground.
This time, the onlookers did not applaud as before, or scramble to dip some blood back, but watched quietly, feeling a little afraid. Today, I have made trouble in the court, and if the government investigates it afterwards, it will be terrible.
Xie Jingchang's body couldn't help but tremble a few times. Although I haven't figured out the reason yet, I have vaguely guessed one thing, my plan should be seen through, and then others have made corresponding arrangements.
The failure of his own plot is not the most fatal, the most fatal thing is that the government will calculate it like this? I was really wrong this time, I'm afraid the next ...... The more he thought about it, the more scared Xie Jingchang immediately turned his head and ran home, he had to quickly confess everything to his father and uncle to see how to remedy it.

"Did it all happen in your calculations? Even those adults ...... "Qian Manjiang couldn't believe what he heard." A government official was sentenced, and this time even those high-ranking officials of the Criminal Department and Hangzhou Wei were supported, how did he do it?
Lu Zhen still has that calm and breezy appearance: "As long as you grasp the hearts of these adults, there is nothing that cannot be done." Tell me, who should be in charge of this Hangzhou city, those local families, or those of us officials appointed by the imperial court? ”
"Naturally, it's ......" Qian Manjiang wanted to say that he was an official, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say it anymore. Because he remembered many situations he had encountered in the past, the government was often constrained by these families, after all, a large part of their taxes and political achievements needed the help of these families.
Lu Zhen saw his thoughts, and smiled: "So if you give the adults a chance to pull out a few of these thorns in the eye, do you think they will do this game?" ”
