The "rectification of the Beiya" has set off a lot of turmoil.

Since most of the soldiers of the Beiya Forbidden Army came from the children of the family and the eunuchs, the rectification involved a wide range of aspects, and the people above the court who paid attention to this matter accounted for the majority. In response to the three generals of the Northern Ya, Cheng Wuting, Li Jinxing, and Xue Shao, among the courtiers, some people praised and some gritted their teeth, some enthusiastically helped, and some watched coldly, and more of them held a skeptical and wait-and-see attitude - can these three shallow-rooted generals pry into the complicated and intertwined Beiya Forbidden Army?!

In any case, the names of Xue Shao and others frequently appear on various occasions when courtiers gather, and they have become popular figures for a while.

After seven days of investigation and evidence collection, Dali Temple decided to openly try the case of Zhao Yijie and Chen Sandou. Xue Shao was convinced that Di Renjie, who was in charge of the case, had absolutely no moment in the past seven days that was easy. This case is like a hot mountain, probably only he Di Renjie dares to take it!

On the day of the trial, Xue Shao, as a thousand horsemen, will be invited by Dali Temple to sit in the court to hear the trial. The presiding judge, of course, is Cheng Di Renjie of Dali Temple. In fact, Xue Shao took the initiative to ask to come, this matter started because of him, how could he throw the hot Shanzhu out and ignore it, it would be too irresponsible and unrighteous!

When Xue Shao went, he made a military uniform and draped it, and brought ten of Zuo Fengchen's relatives with him. These personal entourages are now thousands of cavalry generals wearing five-colored robes and riding six idle horses, although there are only ten people, but their aura is full of might. accompanied Xue Shao to the public court for a stop, just like ten King Kongs. Others saw it very clearly in their eyes - Xue Shao was here to give Di Renjie a boost of confidence and a town scene!

It is very rare for a person in the royal court to be tried by the judicial department. It is the first time that a thousand riders have been judged. This incident caused quite a stir in Chang'an, and many people of Chang'an came to observe. Among them, there are many bitter masters who have been oppressed by thousands of horses in the past, and they are eager to know what kind of result Dali Temple can judge this case? Is Xue Shao, the newly appointed commander of the Thousand Cavalry Lieutenant General, bluffing to seek fame for himself, or is he sincerely rectifying military discipline and asking for the people's life?

Before the trial began, a eunuch envoy suddenly came to the palace, who was specially sent by His Majesty the Emperor to observe. His appearance made the people at the scene exclaim—it seems that this is really a big case, and even His Majesty the Emperor has personally paid attention to it!

Dali Temple placed two bamboo curtains above the public hall, and Xue Shao and the eunuch envoy went to the hall to observe, but they were not allowed to speak out and disturb the judicial trial. Many people watched from the periphery of the steps of the public hall, and the whole public hall was surrounded by water.

With the sound of drums, Cheng Di Renjie of Dali Temple, who was praised as "divine decision" by Chang'an Shimin, appeared.

Xue Shao looked at Di Renjie through the bamboo curtain, and couldn't help but smile, the stubborn old man was still like that, slightly fat, calm, restrained and not angry.

The people spontaneously bowed their hands to Di Renjie, and called him "God Judge Di Gong", and respected him very much. Di Renjie stood under the public court, bowed back, and returned to his place to start hearing the case.

The case itself is actually very simple. Zhao Yijie and Chen Sandou committed things in the army, such as bringing prostitutes into the camp and crossing the imperial city at night, were not tried in Dali Temple. What Di Renjie wants to try is a civil case handed over by the county government of Wannian County, that is, the two of them who previously committed things in Chang'an such as bullying men and women and harming their neighbors.

Such a thing, even if it is placed on an ordinary person, is not an earth-shattering thing. In cases such as murder and arson, the county government has to hold a lot of trials every year. But because Zhao Yijie and Chen Sandou are thousands of cavalry soldiers who eat the emperor's grain and are the people of the emperor's majesty, the people of Chang'an pay special attention.

After Di Renjie made a statement, the criminals Zhao Yijie and Chen Sandou were brought to court. Outside the hall, the people scrambled to stand on tiptoe and watch, and the two men were brought to the court in prison clothes, although they were dejected, they walked freely without blood, and they did not seem to have suffered any serious punishment.

In the face of the conclusive evidence presented by Dali Temple and Di Renjie's righteous and strict interrogation, Zhao Yijie and Chen Sandou confessed to all the things they had committed. In the end, Di Renjie read out the provisions of the law committed by the two in the case, and sentenced the two to pay a ransom of copper to repay the victim according to the law, and each sentenced them to exile for thousands of miles!

Zhao Yijie and Chen Sandou probably knew that this bad luck was decided, so they didn't say a word of nonsense in the court. After hearing the verdict, he didn't shout injustice, and he had to be quite honest.

After the verdict was given, the people outside the hall clapped their hands and praised Di Renjie for "being clear and clear and making decisions for the people".

After Di Renjie went down to the hall to thank the people, he asked Xue Shao and the eunuch envoy again, what were their opinions?

Zhao Yijie and Chen Sandou naturally knew that Xue Shao was listening in the hall for a long time, and they shouted together at this time.

"General Xue, no one is at fault, how can you be so heavy on the two of us?" The first to shout was Chen Sandou, "They don't blame the public, if the two of me are punished by this exile, at least half of the thousands of horsemen should also be exiled!" ――How do you say that? ”

Zhao Yijie was relatively calm, and only said: "General Xue, I made a big mistake in a moment of confusion, and I should have introspected and had nothing to say." But my Zhao family Rongwu inherits a loyal martyr, today Zhao only asks the general to help me in front of my grandfather and my father, so that Zhao can be exiled to a remote military town as a pawn, so that Zhao can kill the enemy on the border and make meritorious contributions! ”

Originally, there was no slightest turbulence in the trial, because of the shouting of the two criminals. The people watching outside the hall suddenly made a loud noise, and they all turned their attention to Xue Shao behind the curtain.

Di Renjie judged the situation and said: "General Xue, although this official has been sentenced, there are human favors outside the law. In order to calm the public opinion and soothe the people's hearts, you might as well come out and speak out and uphold justice. ”

"Okay."

With a sound, Xue Shao walked out.

Mingguang armor, five-color robe, carrying a thousand bull swords on his waist, and ten relatives lined up behind him, Xue Shao's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. The people began to talk about it.

"This is the Xue Horse who married Princess Taiping that day? …… Today, it seems that it is like two people! ”

"What a heroic Langjun!"

"Let's see what he says, can he convince me!"

The two prisoners standing in the hall, Chen Sandou squinted at Xue Shao unconvinced, while Zhao Yijie had his eyebrows locked and his expression was solemn, and his eyes were full of anger and remorse as well as expectation, which was quite complicated.

"Chen Sandou, just now you said 'the law does not blame the public', this is a big fallacy!" As soon as Xue Shao exited, the audience was instantly silent, and everyone looked at him.

Chen Sandou said unconvinced: "Then why only the two of me were arrested, but I didn't see the other thousand horsemen on trial?" You clearly killed the chickens and monkeys to make an example for your own selfishness, and arrested the two of us as substitutes for the dead! - We are not convinced! ”

"You'll take it." Xue Shao said very calmly, "A few days ago, I went to meet the king, and His Majesty once told me in person that the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people. In the past, you did not stand trial because there was no incident. Now that the two of you have been arrested by me and are currently being handed over to justice, what else can you quibble? As for the other criminal Qianqi, I publicly stated today in front of Di Gong and all the people present that I, Xue Shao, will never be partial or tolerate any of them! From now on, as long as I am a thousand cavalry troops, whether it is a violation of military regulations or a violation of the law, they will all be dealt with fairly! ”

"Okay—" The onlookers shouted loudly.

"You also said that from now on!" Chen Sandou would also deduct the words and shouted loudly, "Then what was done before will not be investigated?" - We both broke the law before, so why did we do it? ”

Many people present shook their heads together, and they all despised this Chen Sandou infinitely in their hearts - it was simply too villain and too unrighteous! It was you who was unlucky enough to hit the knife edge, and you didn't hesitate to pull all the thousand horsemen into the water in order to get out for yourself!

Even Zhao Yijie couldn't look at it, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, you and I are unlucky, why bother to involve others?" ”

"You're stupid!" Chen Sandou gritted his teeth and said, "Why are only the two of us unlucky?" Either we all get punished together, or let the two of us go! Otherwise, how can we convince the public? ”

"Shut up, villain!" Xue Shao let out a deep sigh, Chen Sandou was shocked and hurriedly stopped his mouth, and the scene was quiet again.

Xue Shao bowed to Di Renjie and said, "Di Gong, all the files involved in the case of Qianqi crimes, I have asked the Wannian County Government to hand them over to Dali Temple. I also ask Di Gong not to work hard to settle the trial, so that he can give an explanation to the people of Chang'an! ”

"This is a matter of this official duty, and we must do our best!" Di Renjie returned the salute.

Chen Sandou was dumbfounded on the spot, "Xue Shao, you're crazy!" You actually sold all the brothers of Qianqi! ”

"Shut up!" Xue Shao shouted angrily, "Brother, you don't deserve to talk about such words!" ”

"You! ......" Chen Sandou's face turned red all of a sudden.

Xue Shao sneered and said, "That's right, in the past, there were indeed many people among the thousands of horsemen who committed crimes outside the barracks, which brought a lot of trouble and danger to the fathers and villagers of Chang'an. Although this is what happened before someone Xue took office, I still have to represent all the thousands of cavalry tribesmen to first apologize and admit their mistakes to the fathers and villagers in Chang'an! - Please, accept Xue Shao's bow! ”

As he spoke, Xue Shao bent down and bowed to the outside of the hall.

Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and the onlookers know what to do, and they hurriedly return the salute.

"As you have heard, I have taken the initiative to hand over all the case files of the Qianqi crime to Dali Temple and to Di Gong. It is believed that Di Gong will come to a trial in a few days. At that time, no matter which Qianqi is, whether it is property compensation or death penalty and exile, no one will be tolerated, and a satisfactory explanation will be given to all the victims and the people of Chang'an! Xue Shao said to the full house, "In addition, Xue Mou is here today. If there are still victims who have not reported the case, you are welcome to report the case to Di Gong, or complain to me directly, Di Gong and I will definitely uphold justice for him! ――As for those Qianqi who committed crimes, I am convinced that they are all real men who dare to act and change their mistakes, and they are definitely not scum villains like Chen Sandou! Among the thousands of horsemen commanded by my Xue Shao, there will definitely not be a second Chen Sandou! ”

"Good !!"

The hall erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and the people cheered loudly with excitement. Among them, there were some bitter masters who had been bullied by Qianqi in the past, crying bitterly on the spot, and rushing to rush forward to thank Xue Shao and Di Renjie on the spot.

Under the excitement of the crowd, the scene was chaotic for a while, and it was almost out of control!

Xue Shao sighed secretly, hoping that from now on, Qianqi can appear in front of the people and the public with a new look!
