After talking for an hour, Wang Jiweng and the others were still unsatisfied, and Mrs. Song came in to report: "Dadu Governor, Pu Shougeng asked to see him, saying that he had sorted out his confession and came to report to Dadu. ”

Wang Jiweng and the others immediately got up to say goodbye, Cheng Yue waved his hand and said, "No need, you stay, let Pu Shougeng come in." ”

Pu Shougeng's eyes were red, he bent over and walked in front of Cheng Yue from the outside, bowed respectfully, took out a thick confession from his arms, and presented it with both hands: "The Metropolitan Governor Rongyu, his subordinates were ordered by the Metropolitan Governor to almost wipe out the Muslims who were traitors inside and outside Quanzhou City yesterday, and sorted out the confession and list overnight here, please check the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Cheng Yue took the confession and read it carefully.

The confessions collected by Pu Shougeng are quite consistent with the information Cheng Yue got from Yang Ting, and some of the inside stories are still unknown to Cheng Yue. However, the confession has obviously been carefully polished by Pu Shougeng's henchmen, and all the confessions that are unfavorable to Pu Shougeng have been wiped out, after all, Pu Shougeng is not directly involved, and others can't say anything.

In the confessions, there are those who use various means to induce or force Han hired workers to convert, some to usurp their wives and children, some to burn the Buddha alive in Buddhist halls, to break the legs of pork vendors, to make his family hungry, and to disturb Muslims to pray and be beaten to the point of being crippled.

Cheng Yue looked at it more and more angrily, covered up the file, slapped it on the table, pointed at Pu Shougeng and said angrily: "Pu Shougeng! What do you eat in Quanzhou? With so much going on right under your nose, are you blind or are you deliberately pretending not to see? What do I want you for?! ”

Pu Shougeng was furious when he saw Cheng Yue and panicked. Hurriedly knelt on the ground. Kowtowed: "The subordinates are guilty." Ask the metropolitan governor to let his subordinates wear the guilt and make meritorious service, if the subordinates have any more dereliction of duty, let the metropolitan governor punish him! ”

The killing intent in Cheng Yue's eyes became stronger and stronger, but Pu Shougeng couldn't see it when he lowered his head. Mrs. Xu praised in her heart - this is a real man!

Cheng Yue restrained his murderous aura, snorted coldly, and asked, "Where did you lock up more than 2,000 people?" ”

Pu Shougeng hurriedly said: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, guarded by the three dogs under him, they are all imprisoned in the prison of the coastal control envoy. After a certain amount of guilt, it will be dealt with. ”

said to Mrs. Song: "Mrs. Song, you go and call Shufang and Yaguli to come, and then let Xiao Zhen order two hundred guards and wait at the gate of the mansion after lunch." ”

Mrs. Song said yes and walked quickly to find Xiao Zhen.

Cheng Yue said to Pu Shougeng: "I want to go and see in person, you go and gather all the officials above the seventh grade in Quanzhou, and after noon, all of them will wait for me at your yamen." ”

Pu Shougeng heard that Cheng Yue was going to his yamen, and he was even more uneasy. Shen Shi saluted and said: "Yes, I will greet the governor in the afternoon." Then I went to gather the officials of Quanzhou. After saying that, he hurried away.

Zhang Shufang and Yaguli came together, Cheng Yue handed the confession sent by Pu Shougeng to Zhang Shufang, and said: "Shufang, you and Yaguli go and compare my list with this list to see how many discrepancies there are. ”

The two concubines took the list, gave a slight salute, and went back to the inner house to check.

Cheng Yue said to Wang Jiweng and the others: "You all stay here to eat, and go with me in a while." ”

Wang Jiweng and the others were flattered, talked with Cheng Yue for a while, and went to eat together.

The happiest thing is Chen Hangyan, who was surrounded by beautiful palace maids at lunchtime, so beautiful that he was dizzy. It's a pity that you can only watch, you can't touch, and you can't see too much.

After lunch, Xiao Zhen came in to report, and the two hundred guards were ready to go. Pu Shougeng also returned to Fuzhong and asked Cheng Yue to leave.

Cheng Yue took Zhang Shufang and Yaguli with him, and was just about to get up and set off, when Kuo Kuolun said: "Cheng Yue, we also want to go and see the excitement, and we have nothing to do here." ”

Cheng Yue was stunned and said with a smile: "Okay, you can go if you want to, let's go." ”

Kuo Kuolun, Babahan, and Wan Ze accompanied Cheng Yue to get into the carriage and go to the Yamen of the Linhai Envoy.

When Cheng Yue arrived, there was a crowd of people outside the yamen, and there were many discussions, and many of the people's faces showed obvious excitement, all speculating about what the governor of Quanzhou was going to do. In terms of the personality of the Metropolitan Governor, is it possible that after Lin'an and Dadu, will he have to kill in Quanzhou? If yes, that's great!

The gate of the yamen was rarely opened, and Cheng Yue's carriage drove directly into the official office, turned a few corners, and came to the prison in the northwest corner of the official office.

The scale of this prison is very large, the reason is that there are often pirates in Quanzhou, a few hundred people are arrested, and if so many people are tried, it is necessary to have a nearby prison for temporary detention, so I don't know which envoy will set up a barracks next to it as a prison, and the successive envoys have continued to expand, so that this prison can hold six or seven hundred people at any time.

There is a small door between the prison and the embassy, which is convenient for arraignment, and it is the prison itself that is usually opened when entering and leaving the prison, but when the governor came, he naturally did not dare to let him go through the door of the prison, so he specially opened the gate of the official office, and went a little further to enter through the yamen.

The carriage stopped, and Pu Shougeng bowed down and asked Cheng Yue to get off.

Cheng Yue got out of the car and saw that all the officials who greeted him the day before yesterday had arrived, and there were more than 300 people.

Cheng Yue returned the salute, turned around and asked Kuo Kuolun and the other women to get off the car.

The prison was converted from a barracks, so the middle was the school field, and the three sides were the cells. There is a school reading stand in front of the school field, which is usually manned, and now Pu Shougeng temporarily lays out the carpet, and then puts a number of seats for Cheng Yue's speech.

Cheng Yue took Kuo Kuolun and others to sit on the school review platform, hundreds of officials gathered on both sides, and two hundred guards drew their swords out of their sheaths and stood around the school ground, ready to kill at any time.

Cheng Yue said: "Master Pu, you brought all the people arrested yesterday to the school field, and I want to check them one by one." ”

Pu Shougeng's heart tightened, Cheng Yue did what he said, and he didn't give him the slightest chance to pass the test, and it seemed right to catch as many people as he could.

Pu Shougeng gave the order, and the Muslim prisoners in the prison finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief and were temporarily released from the stinking cell. They didn't sleep well last night, the prison was so small that some people didn't even have a place to lie down, so they had to sleep against the wall, and everyone was very haggard.

When they arrived at the school grounds, the prisoners looked up and saw a handsome young man in a crisp military uniform standing on top of it, and five beautiful women of different ages sitting beside him. Some people who went to the dock the day before yesterday to look at it from afar immediately recognized it - it was Cheng Yue, the governor of Dadu!

The prisoners immediately commotioned, but they immediately calmed down, and more than 2,000 people stood all over the school yard in the dark, all looking at Cheng Yue with hatred on their faces.

Cheng Yue stood up and said loudly: "You people came to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty let you settle down here and be happy, but you oppressed the good and the good in my Great Song Dynasty, beat the people, and called the people who took you in and helped you as infidels!" What is Da Song sorry for? Are you worthy of the Great Song Dynasty? I have here a list of those whose names are read, and let them stand up for themselves, and do not cause trouble to others. ”

When the prisoners heard this, most of them sneered and fell silent, and many of them puffed up their chests. They simply could not accept Cheng Yue's arguments, and in their minds, making Quanzhou a holy place for Islam and establishing an Islamic state was more important than anything else. This is also the reason why Cheng Yue didn't waste too much of his lips and tongue to persuade them.

Cheng Yue turned his head to Yaguli and said, "Yaguli, you read the name."

Yaguli opened Cheng Yue's roster and began to read out his names aloud one by one. These names include Arabs, Persians, and even people from other countries, and Aguli is familiar with the pronunciation of their names so that she can not mispronounce them.

The people who were named didn't want to show weakness in public and be regarded as cowards, so they didn't hesitate, and walked to the front one by one with their chests held high, and some people also took the opportunity to glare at Pu Shougeng angrily. Among them, there are occasional duplicate names, and Cheng Yue's list is marked after it, and it can be quickly distinguished.

Pu Shougeng lowered his head, and his heart was extremely sad. If it weren't for the lack of a way, he would never have made such a move and arrested his Muslim brothers in front of Cheng Yue. Although he didn't see Cheng Yue's murderous aura, he could feel it.

He's a smart guy, not a fool like Basi. For the sake of his family's safety, he is willing to do anything. He's been wrong once, and he can't afford to anger the Grand Governor again!

After Aguli finished reading the last name, the last person walked out with his chest held up.

Three hundred and eighteen people, one is not less.

Cheng Yue nodded slightly, and said to Pu Shougeng next to him: "You did a good job, all the people who should be arrested have been arrested." I said before that if there is less, I will take the number of people in your house to fill up, just casually, you don't have to mind. ”

Pu Shougeng hurriedly saluted and said: "Don't dare, my subordinates just want to be loyal to the governor of the capital and try their best to make up for the mistakes of my subordinates." ”

Cheng Yue said to the three hundred and eighteen people: "Among you people, some of you injured and beat the vendors who sold wine and meat, some threatened your hired servants to convert to Islam, otherwise they deliberately tortured them, and some secretly went to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to set fires, am I not wrong?" ”

Three hundred and eighteen people were silent, they had already confessed, and there was no need to defend themselves.

Cheng Yue turned his head to Pu Shougeng and said, "Master Pu, what are you going to do with these three hundred and eighteen people?" ”

Pu Shougeng said: "Back to the Governor of Dadu, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, he should be punished by flogging or stabbing, and some of them will be sentenced heavily." According to the criminal law promulgated by the Metropolitan Governor, life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment is punishable, and several people are probably sentenced to death. ”

Cheng Yue's criminal law is currently only being implemented in the Special Administrative Region, and other places have not yet received orders to enforce it, and the relevant preparations are far from complete. Pu Shougeng couldn't get Cheng Yue's thoughts, so he asked.

Cheng Yue said coldly: "They are not my Great Song people, how can they apply the Great Song Law and the criminal law promulgated by me?" Military orders, of course. (To be continued.) )
