On a wide platform three feet higher than the ground, Liu Miao was dressed in an official uniform with a purple ribbon and sat in the center. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn addition to Liu Ji, Mu Guiying, and Hua Mulan, there are also Gongcao Li Feng, Juncheng Yang Hong and several other officials.

On the ground on the right side of the platform, a prisoner cart was parked, and a young man with a cloak was imprisoned, it was Lei Xu. The prisoner carriage was guarded by four brocade guards, and not far away there were eighteen black-clad and black-armored majestic cavalrymen standing with guns, which were none other than Yanyun's eighteen horsemen who appeared in public for the first time.

Around the platform, Xu Da led a group of brocade guards to maintain order.

It was still some time before the scheduled public trial began, and the people were still noisy.

Liu Miao looked around for a week, but did not see Lei Bo's figure.

Liu Miao originally thought that Lei Bo would come to rob Lei Xu on the way to the escort, but who knew that he didn't, and he hadn't arrived yet. But Liu Miao is sure that Lei Bo will not give up the robbery operation, could it be that he wants to forcibly rob people after the public trial begins?

Liu Miao looked at Li Feng on the side and said, "Li Gongcao, there are too many onlookers, so it is very easy to have an accident." There are too few county soldiers to maintain law and order at the scene, and I want to ask Lei Bing Cao to bring his county soldiers to assist, what do you think? ”

Li Feng was a little stunned, not knowing what Liu Miao meant. He was not involved in the public trial from beginning to end, but at this time, he came to ask his opinion, and he also wanted to find Lei Bo to help maintain law and order, this is to let Lei Bo watch Lei Xu be beheaded with his own eyes? Liu Miao is not afraid that Lei Bo will lead the troops to rebel in person? Or does Liu Miao have other intentions?

Doubts are doubts, Taishou asked in public, Li Feng couldn't accept it, he had to answer: "Everything is up to the king!" ”

Liu Miao nodded and said, "Okay, then trouble Li Gongcao to send someone to inform Lei Bingcao and lead his four hundred county soldiers to come!" ”

"Huh?" The doubts in Li Feng's heart were even heavier, he didn't have a single soldier, but he asked him to send a message to Lei Bo, what did this mean? He knew that Lei Bo had a plan to rob people, so he wouldn't be implicated in this way, right?

"Questions?" Liu Miao asked.

"No, no problem!" Li Feng didn't have time to think about it, so he had to turn around and call an assistant official and tell him to inform Lei Bo.

Liu Miao turned around casually and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Someone replied, "It's just over three o'clock." ”

"Order Xu Da to release the criminals to the stage first and prepare for public trial!" Liu Miao ordered.

After a while, the four brocade guards pulled Lei Xu out of the prisoner car, tied their hands behind their backs, and pushed him to the platform, making him kneel to the ground facing the audience.

Xu Da stood at the front of the platform and said in a loud voice: "Zuntai obeys the order, the public trial begins!" ”

The audience all fell silent and looked at Xu Da together.

After Xu Da briefly introduced a few sentences of the order of the venue and the steps of the public trial, he began to state Lei Xu's crimes, some of which were privately investigated by Zhang Liao and others, and more were reported by ordinary people through the book box. Every time Xu Da said something, he confronted Lei Xu, and of course Lei Xu would not admit his guilt easily. However, this was already expected by Liu Miao, and the human and physical evidence had already been prepared, so that Lei Xu could not deny it.

This method of public trial opened the eyes of the onlookers, and the participation was also very high, during which there were even onlookers who came out from time to time to testify against Lei Xu's crimes.

It can only be said that the Lei family has done too many evil things, offended the people too ruthlessly, and it is good that no one usually comes forward, but now Liu Miao is in charge, not only Lei Xu, but even many things of the Lei family have been turned over. However, Liu Miao did not mean to involve the Lei family for the time being, but only targeted Lei Xu, so that the people's dissatisfaction with the Lei family fermented first.

After all Lei Xu's crimes were tried, Xu Da began to pronounce the verdict: "The villain Lei Xu is a heinous crime, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, his crime should be punished!" Now respect the order of Taishou, and cut Lei Xu immediately! ”

With a wave of Xu Da's hand, two brocade guards stepped forward to grab Lei Xu and prepare for execution.

"Slow!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the crowd, and then I saw a man riding a horse and smashing a way through the crowd, it was Lei Bo, who was followed by hundreds of soldiers.

As soon as these soldiers came in, they surrounded the entire platform and formed a confrontation with the more than 100 Jinyi guards led by Xu Da.

"I see who dares to kill my brother!" Lei Bo waved the spear in his hand and shouted angrily.

The onlookers were in an uproar, and when they saw Lei Bo's domineering power, the scene suddenly became quiet.

The corners of Liu Miao's mouth curled slightly inadvertently, and the main master he had been looking forward to finally came.

"Lei Bing Cao, Ben Tai ordered you to help maintain order, but you broke into the venue with your own troops to make a fuss, do you want to rebel?" Liu Miao stood up and said coldly.

Lei Bo was unmoved, and retorted: "Liu Miao, don't frame me!" As a Taishou, you have acted perversely, wronged a good person, illegally detained my brother, and this official came to ask for justice! ”

"You dare to call yourself an official in front of this Taishou, it seems that you are really used to being overbearing. Lei Xu's crimes, the evidence is conclusive, how can he be wronged? As a soldier Cao Peng, do you still want to shield Lei Xu? I advise you to quickly dismount and admit your mistakes, otherwise you will be regarded as guilty of the same crime as Lei Xu, and even if you are beheaded, no one will cry out for you. ”

"Haha!" Lei Bo laughed wildly, brandishing the spear in his hand while looking around, "Liu Miao, should I say that you are stupid or naïve?" You don't take a closer look? What are you capable of killing me? Just these hundred or so pawns, or the two chicks next to you? Hahaha! ”

Liu Miao said: "Lei Bo, I advise you not to make mistakes!" When the time comes, if you don't say it by mistake, you will regret it if you even affect the Lei family! ”

Lei Bo felt that Liu Miao's tone seemed to be a little weak, and his arrogance couldn't help but be a little stronger, and he snorted coldly: "Liu Miao'er, my Lei family can't judge you yet." I, Lei Bo, put my words here now, if you let go of Lei Xu and apologize to my Lei family in public, it's okay, otherwise I will recognize you as a guard, and I won't recognize the iron gun in my hand! ”

Liu Miao shook his head and said, "Since that's the case, I won't say more." Xu Da—"

"Report-" Liu Miao was about to give Xu Da an order, when he was suddenly interrupted by a shout.

When Liu Miao looked, a cavalryman was passing through the path in the middle of the crowd, galloping over, looking at the costumes, it should be Lu Jun's Jinyi guard.

The man ran to the platform, jumped off his horse and said, "Report! There are 500 soldiers and horses in the Lei Manor who are only coming to Shouchun City, and the captain asks Taishou to show it! ”

"Got it!" Liu Miao waved his hand lightly and said lightly: "Just ask Lu Jun to close the city gate and guard it, don't care!" ”

"Yes!" The brocade guard struck away again.

"It seems that your Lei family really wants to rebel!" Liu Miao looked at Lei Bodao coldly.

The onlookers also heard Jinyiwei's words clearly just now, and when they heard what Liu Miao said, they were immediately convinced, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, and they didn't know how to deal with themselves.

"Phew!" Lei Bo shouted loudly, calmed the people in the audience, and then said loudly: "My Lei family is just to seek justice, not to rebel, you can't talk nonsense." ”

"Lei Bo, don't quibble! You led the troops to coerce Ben Tai to defend first, and the Lei family led private soldiers to attack the city later, what is not a rebellion! Liu Miao intercepted Lei Bo's words and said loudly, "All the people, please listen to me, in order not to hurt the innocent, please take a hundred steps back and watch Ben Taishou kill the traitor!" ”
