"Defendant, watch your words and deeds." Shi Lei warned Niguo: "Contempt of court will be considered in sentencing." ”

"Hmph, can you control our Yi people in this court? The county magistrate of Chengbu County didn't dare to take care of it. It's up to you? "Nigo is full of confidence. However, seeing the ill-intentioned Gao Dawei soldiers beside him, Nigo still kept his mouth shut.

"You are the mastermind of both the slaughtering of ploughing cattle and the climbing of walls to defile and plunder women, can you be sure?"

"The big husband dares to act. That's right, Lao Tzu did it, what can you do with me? Give me that woman, and I will forgive you for the great sin that you have done to me. Otherwise...... "Nigo is still arrogant.

"Summoned suspect Shamalari."

Larry is much more honest. 1510 pleaded guilty to being an accomplice to the crime and confessed to the crime he had identified.

"Now adjourn for half an hour." Shi Lei said: "The jury will decide whether the two defendants are guilty or not. ”

………………

"It's really up to us to condemn?" Wang Xing was a little incredible.

Wang Xing was the first soldier Zhu Shunming recruited when he recruited troops in Xixiang, and he was lucky to survive.

Wang Xing, who was stabbed twice, retired and started his old business - horse breeding. Unexpectedly, he was selected as a member of the jury and participated in the trial of criminals. Isn't this the right of a high-ranking official?

There were many soldiers on the jury who retired due to injuries, and they all thought it was incredible and too mysterious.

Zhu Shunming explained the role of the jury to Mr. Zhu in detail, and he somewhat understood.

"It's not a conviction, it's a verdict on whether or not guilty. It is then up to the judge to rule according to the 'law'. ”

"We're all seven-rank masters?" The one-eyed dragon Zhang Fangshan's joke is not funny at all.

"Let's vote." Old Man Zhu said: "Raise your hand if you find the two suspects guilty." ”

Ruyu was the first to raise her hand. She hated these two people so much. I actually want to ......

The rest of the people followed closely with their hands raised in the air. Needless to say, of course the mountain people are guilty, the evidence is conclusive, and they themselves confess their guilt, can they still be found not guilty?

For the first time, someone else can be convicted, and the members of the jury feel that their lives begin today and say goodbye to yesterday completely.

There was also a lot of discussion in the audience. Really convicted by jury? Can't the official master be arbitrary? Can't finish eating the plaintiff and eating the defendant? If only all Daming could do this.

………………

"After deliberation by the jury, the two defendants were found guilty of stealing and slaughtering ploughing cattle and attempting to defile women. Now I pronounce the verdict ......"

Shi Lei stood up, and the members of the jury also stood up.

"The "Da Ming Law" stipulates that those who steal and kill cattle will have seventy rods and a year and a half; Whoever attempts to commit adultery against a woman shall have a hundred rods and three thousand miles. ”

"According to the "Provisional Regulations of Jiu'an Town", Shamaniguo, as the main offender, was convicted of stealing and killing cattle and sentenced to five years in prison; He was convicted of attempted rape of a woman and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment. He was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment for both counts. ”

"Shamalali, convicted of stealing and killing a ploughing cattle, sentenced to three years in prison; He was convicted of attempted rape of a woman and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment. He was sentenced to 13 years' imprisonment for both counts. ”

"Hmph, you'll be letting us out soon......" Nigo looked swaggering. Stones and sticks rained down on him.

Larry was escorted back to the makeshift prison by the soldiers.

What awaits them will be a long prison life and arduous labor reform.

………………

The trial meeting in Jiu'an Town ended in a no-brainer. Some people think it's lively, like watching a play; Some people feel respected, energetic in everything they do, and the collective cohesion is enhanced; Some people are secretly worried about Jiu'an Town, and the Yi people are not easy to mess with.

The trial meeting was held in an open and loud manner, and Zhu Shunming gave it a deep thought.

The first is to sow the seeds of the rule of law, so that the law can become a beacon to guide people's progress and a constraint to regulate people's behavior.

The second is to mobilize the enthusiasm and pride of the people of Jiu'an Town, so that they can truly regard themselves as independent members, rather than vassals of some forces or individuals. That is, free people with independent thinking.

The third is to promote the existence of Jiu'an Town. Zhu Shunming specially invited the merchants of Chengbu County to come, just to let them see the difference between Jiu'an Town and other forces. Jiu'an Town is a place where reasoning and teachings are preached.

Fourth, Shamaniguo and Shamarari were convicted with great fanfare, and the businessmen were allowed to spread the news in order to catch the toast of Saburo Mountain.

On the side of the couch there is no room for others to snore.

Instead of going to destroy the enemy, it is better to build fortifications and let the enemy attack. He had been waiting for work at ease, crossing mountains and mountains, arrogant and premeditated for a long time, and had not yet started a war, and the balance of victory had already tilted in favor of Zhu Shunming.

………………

The novelty of the Jiu'an Town Trial Conference was taken as a conversation by the merchants, and soon rumors spread. In the Ming Dynasty, which only creates entertainment for people, such a novel and gimmicky thing is naturally of interest to everyone.

Of course, everyone's concerns and entry points are different.

The merchants saw a strong business opportunity in Jiu'an Town. The population of Jiu'an Town is not large, but the consumption power of the people in Jiu'an Town is not low. Looking at the vigor and style of their boss's actions, coupled with the unique geographical advantages of Jiu'an Town, prosperity is just around the corner.

Sun Datou saw the demographic structure of Jiu'an Town. The masculinity of Jiu'an Town is too strong. There are hundreds of middle-aged men, only three or five adult women, and they are all boss ladies. How do those men solve their physiological problems? Sun Datou was very moved. That's a big deal!

Sun Datou opened the hook bar. In these years, the goulan business is not easy to do. If you can open the hook bar to Jiu'an Town, maybe business will improve greatly. Jiu'an Town is much more vibrant than the lifeless Chengbu County.

The county commander Hu secretly scolded and complained: "Where did you come from, why did you provoke the mountain people?" Are mountain people easy to provoke? It's over...... I can't even think about living a stable life for a few days......"

I heard that Zhu Shunming had hundreds of fierce family members under his hands, and he didn't dare to go to Zhu Shunming's trouble, so he could only burn incense and worship the Buddha and pray for peace from God.

People who have grievances and are not allowed to report their grievances hear about the ingenious jury system in Jiu'an Town, and they can't help but see a glimmer of hope. Maybe they can avenge themselves.

When Shama Dashan learned that his two sons were captured by the Han and openly sentenced to prison, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet. This is a blatant provocation against the Yi people.

"Sons, the Han people are oppressing us Yi people again." Shama Dashan said loudly: "The Han people occupy the best fertile land, eat the best food, wear silk and satin, and sleep with the most beautiful women. Why? Why? Are you willing? ”

"Unwilling...... Grab it back...... Kill all the Han people......" The crowd below was excited.

"My two sons, the heroes of the Yi people, your brothers, Nigo and Larry, were arrested by the Han because they ate beef for everyone."

"Have you forgotten the kindness of the two? Have you forgotten the deliciousness of beef? Do you still want delicious beef and white rice? Do you want a Han woman like water? ”

"Kill all the Han people and rescue the heroes...... Kill all the Han people, rob all the beauties......" The Yi people were instigated and angry.

The appeasement policy of the Han court did not calm the sense of inequality in the Yi people, but only intensified the national contradictions.

When there was a conflict between the Han and the Yi people, the imperial court would generally favor the Yi people and suppress the Han people. The Han people will be angry and helpless, and the Yi people take it for granted and be complacent.

In the long run, the Han people will regard the Yi people as different and are reluctant to associate with them. The Yi people felt that the Han people hated and isolated themselves, and they were even more resentful of the Han people's wealth. Ethnic contradictions are intensifying.

It was against this background that the Rebellion of Lump and Ann took place.

By the fourth year of Chongzhen, although the rebellion of luxury had subsided, the national contradictions had not eased, but had become more acute.

The Shapu Rebellion that occurred in Yunnan not long ago was the result of the continued intensification of ethnic contradictions.

At this time, Zhu Shunming consciously intensified the contradiction between the Han and Yi people, as if lighting a fuse, and the already passionate national contradiction suddenly exploded.

The angry Yi people contacted everywhere, and the Miao and Yao people from all over the country responded. Soon, the mountain people pulled up a team of more than 1,000 young and middle-aged people.

Armed with spears and scimitars, blowing arrows, and colorful costumes painted on their faces, the mountain people set out happily.

Can you fight a war with the weak Han people and not win it? One mountain folk can deal with more than three Han Chinese.

I heard that there were only more than 100 Han Chinese who were holding Nigo and Larry. There are more than 1,000 men of his own, and one person can drown these Han soft eggs with a mouthful of foam.

"Dashan, how to distribute the loot, let's talk about it first, so as not to hurt the harmony when we get it." It was Ma Buron, the owner of the Qixingpo Miao cottage, who spoke.

The Miao people are the largest number of mountain people in the area of Chengbu County. However, the Miao people were accustomed to living in the mountains, and they did not have an eager demand for the material and land of the Han people, and the contradictions with the Han people were not particularly acute.

This time, Shama Dashan contacted the mountain people to attack the Han people together, and Mabulon was a little hesitant.

Although the Han Chinese were weak, they were too numerous. Although the Han court suppressed the Han people, when the mountain people did too much, the Han court did not hesitate to take action, and it was not inferior to the mountain people in the slightest.

The entire family of Yu Chongming and An Bangyan was slaughtered, and the mountain people who followed them were almost wiped out. Han Chinese can also kill.

But when he heard that the target of this expedition was a small force of only one or two hundred people, not an attack on the Han county, and that this Han force was very wealthy, with countless gold, silver and jewelry, Ma Buron's heart was moved.

The Miao people are very fond of gold and silver jewelry. Which girl doesn't have a few pounds of jewelry when she gets married, and she is embarrassed to go out.

"I know that you Miao people like gold and silver. In this way, all the gold and silver seized will be yours," Shama Dashan said with a smile: "Pantou, the food, utensils, and livestock of the Han people are all yours." You don't have to fight for the women of the Han people, all of them belong to our Yi people. ”

Pantou is Panhu, the leader of the Yao people, a middle-aged man with an honest face. This time, for the unity of the mountain people, fifty young people were sent to meet the situation.

Shama Dashan did not mention at all how the Han men would be distributed if they were captured. Mabulon and Panhu didn't ask out loud. In their hearts, Han Chinese men are dead.
