Chapter 102: Surrender

By the time the crowd had dispersed, it was already half an hour later, and all that remained was a pile of scattered prisoner carts and broken corpses, and the culprits who caused the chaos were all gone.

Seeing this, Liu Yi immediately ordered his subordinate students to come forward to count the losses. However, when the students arrived at the prisoner car, they all vomited one by one, and some even fainted directly, not because they couldn't see the dead - it was really miserable, where is this Zhenyang County, this is hell on earth.

"My lord, the dead have been counted." A quarter of an hour later, the chief bookkeeper came to report: "All the 56 criminals in custody have been killed, and all of them have died without their bodies...... In addition, three civilians died in the crowding and trampling, nearly 100 others were slightly injured, and the rest suffered countless losses, and the economic losses were as high as 1,000 yuan. ”

When it came to the dead body, the master book retched, the tragic situation just now really made him remember, I am afraid that within three months, he will not be able to see meat.

Lu Bin looked at Liu Yi coldly: "It's okay now, it's a fate, everything is going according to your plan, what are you going to do next?" ”

Liu Yi didn't seem to be aware of it, and said with a light smile: "There is such a big thing in Zhenyang County, of course, it is reported to the state government and the imperial court." ”

"Maniac." Lu Bin forcibly admitted the discomfort in his heart, and suddenly saw a group of people coming over, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he said coldly: "Since you have taken revenge, why do you want to stay here?" Do you really think that the laws of the Tang Dynasty are just talking? ”

It turned out that all the people who came over were the ones who had caused riots and took advantage of the chaos to take revenge and release people, and some even had human heads or other organs in their hands that had not yet been hidden.

"My lord, the grass people don't have this intention, and this is to state their grievances." The young man at the head hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "The grass people's name is Zhuang Shenzhi, who was originally a catcher in Zhenyang County, and his parents died when he was a child, and he and his little sister depended on each other. Clinker Three years ago, Huang Dang, the head catcher in Zhenyang County, coveted his little sister's beauty, and raped and killed his little sister when the grass people were not at home......"

Speaking of this, Zhuang Shenzhi, a big man, couldn't stop crying, and the people behind him were also heavy-faced.

Zhuang Shenzhi wiped away his tears and continued: "In the past three years, the grass people have been thinking about revenge all the time, but Huang Dang is the nephew of the county commander Xu Guozhang, and with his protection, we have no chance at all, until today, the grass people have the opportunity to take revenge with their own hands." ”

Zhu Yuming asked coldly, "What's the use of you saying this?" Can you stir up a rebellion among the people for revenge? ”

"The grass people don't mean that." Zhuang Shenzhi shook his head and said: "The reason why I said so much is just to tell my lord that this plan was all done by the grass people alone, and Huangdang's head was also cut off by my own hands, and these brothers of mine only came with me because of the righteousness of their brothers." I am the main culprit, and please forgive me for the sake of the grass people's surrender, and I will forgive the guilt of my brothers, and several of my brothers have been arrested by the military master, and please let them go. ”

"Big brother." The rest of the young people suddenly shouted: "Big brother, this is different from what I said before, didn't it say that there are blessings and hardships together?" What do you mean? ”

Zhuang Shenzhi turned his head and said slowly: "Brothers, you are all my good brothers, as a big brother, I can't watch you live in the name of sinners." Besides, Xiaomei has nothing to do with you, and only I have a reason to avenge Xiaomei, I have taken this charge, you have to be a good person in the future......"

"Big brother!" The skinny monkey said urgently.

Zhuang Shenzhi ignored them anymore and asked Liu Yi, "I don't know what the adults think?" ”

Zheng Yuan asked first: "Do you think the law of the Tang Dynasty is a vegetable market?" And a bargain opportunity? A transgression is a transgression, and it is not possible for your brothers to be forgiven because you can bear it alone, but there is no such article in the law, and since you were once a member of the public family, do you not even understand these things? ”

"But they really didn't do anything." Zhuang Shenzhi eagerly defended: "I am the one who has an enmity with Huang Dang, and I cut off Huang Dang's head, and it was also my idea to incite the people to throw stones at those dog officials, and they only helped to block the officers and soldiers who arrested me from beginning to end." ”

"But you must know that it is because of the officers and soldiers who helped you stop and channel order that led to this scene." Zheng Yuan pointed to the corpses and wreckage covered with white cloths: "Xu Guozhang, they are already innocent, and if they die, they will die, it's nothing." But these three people are innocent, and they have lost their lives because of the actions of your brothers, what do you have to say? ”

Zhuang Shenzhi's eyes flickered, and he instantly understood what Zheng Yuan meant: "What does Lord mean?" ”

"You'll talk about that later." Liu Yi interrupted the conversation between the two, turned his head to look at the Feng father and son, the previous teahouse owner, and asked, "What about you?" Is it the same plan as Zhuang Shenzhi? ”

The teahouse owner smiled bitterly: "My lord Mingjian, the grass people did plan to do this before, but now depending on the meaning of the adult, it should not be possible." ”

"Daddy."

"Son, killing an official is a serious crime, I originally wanted to bear it alone, but now it seems that I am afraid that it will not be a ......."

"Daddy!" The father and son hugged their heads and cried.

"What about you?" Liu Yi set his sights on several other combinations, and it was very interesting that all those who turned themselves in turned themselves in were more than two people, and most of them were old and young, it was obvious that these old people wanted to bear the charge alone, in order to let their children survive. As for the lone travelers, none of them came, such as Shen Hong, who was the first to do it, or the beggar before, all disappeared with the dispersal of the crowd.

“...... Since you all admit it, then ......" The corners of Liu Yi's mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile: "Originally, the assassination of officials was a felony, and according to the law, it was to raze the three clans." But this official thought that you are all here for revenge, Xu Guozhang and others are criminal officials, and they have already been stoned to death by the people, and you just cut off their heads, so you did not commit homicide at all. The crime you are most guilty of is actually causing chaos and causing the tragic death of innocent people, which is considered manslaughter, not capital crime. ”

Lu Bin next to him widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Damn, can you still play like this?" ”

"That's what it was." Liu Yi said as a matter of course: "After all, Xu Guozhang and they were really stoned to death by the people, before they died, these people didn't move a single hair of them at all, they just damaged the bodies of the criminals after they died, will they be sentenced to death for desecrating the corpses?" ”

“...... Naturally not. "The crime of mutilating a corpse is even less serious than the crime of insulting a corpse, and the crime of insulting a corpse is only a moral offense, and it will be released after a few years at most.

"Isn't that it?"

"......" Lu Bin was speechless.
