The first thing the security forces did after occupying Wenshui County was to restore order in Wenshui County, and a large number of soldiers took to the streets, and some hooligans who took advantage of the chaos to rob were beheaded in the streets. The people obediently returned to their homes, and in order to make a living, they had to go out of their homes in fear, and began to cautiously walk past the straight security guards standing in the street, and later found that they were just standing there straight and there was no threat. There are also people from the security army knocking on the door of the merchant door to door, the merchant thought that this time is over, at least a large amount of money will be broken, and he dare not open the door, after opening the door, he knew that the security army just ordered them to open the door, open the door, it is better than being robbed, and gradually the city of Wenshui County has returned to its former appearance.

A big news spread, saying that the security army was going to try the county commander Wang Jing.

A high platform was erected on a vacant lot in the county market, and the surrounding people naturally surrounded them when they saw this formation. The Chinese people's lively nature cannot be stopped.

I saw a huge wooden sign with black letters written on it on the right side of the high platform, and a literate person told everyone that it read: "Security Army Court".

The three words of the security army can still be understood, but the word court has heard it for the first time, saying that it is necessary to use the law in the public trial of the county, so the court should be a courtyard with law, but this is just a high platform but no yard, it seems that this thief has a random name, thinking that this is the yard where they clean up the crops with mud legs.

There were several security guards in black robes sitting high behind the table in the middle of the high platform, and a small wooden sign was placed on the table in front of each of them with the word "judge" written on it, which seemed to tell everyone that these people were officials and came to try the case.

There was also a row of tables on the right side of the platform, and behind them sat several black-robed security guards, with the words "Prosecutor" written on the wooden sign on the table in front of them. I don't know what their identity is, but they want to follow the example of the three sessions in the play.

On the left side of the high platform, there are also tables, chairs, and chairs, but there are no people sitting there at this time, and there is a wooden sign with the word "witness" written on it. These two words are still understandable to everyone, and this should be where the witness sits.

The security guards, armed with bayonets, stood in a circle to maintain order.

The judge on the stage shouted to the audience: "Silence! The security guards in the audience shouted along. The people who were talking in the audience fell silent.

The judge shouted: "Now the court is open, take the defendant." ”

Wang Jing, the magistrate of Wenshui County, was brought to the stage, and the people in the audience saw that the county lord, who was extremely majestic and majestic on weekdays, had become a prisoner, looking embarrassed, and their hearts were very comfortable.

Wang Jing knelt in the center of the platform, already trembling and his face colorless.

The public trial began, the first to be brought to the stage was a miserable old man who cried, the old man sat in the witness seat, the prosecutor on the stage began to preach the old man's state, on behalf of the old man accused the county Wang Jing of colluding with the squire, occupying the old man's ancestral land, and also put the old man's son into the county prison, a few days later the old man only picked up his son's body.

The old man was crying and testifying, and he had seen all these things himself.

The people in the audience understood that the prosecutor was a good official who spoke for the plaintiff.

The squires who colluded with Wang Jing were also brought to the stage and confessed to Wang Jing's collusion.

Faced with the old man's questioning, Wang Jing admitted that he had indeed accepted bribes from the squire. In order to avoid death, he tried his best to defend himself, the death of the old man's son was indeed not intentional by him, and he couldn't control the death of people in the county jail.

The prosecutor then read out Wang Jing's new crime, embezzling disaster relief funds and materials at the time of the Shanxi disaster.

The testimony for this incident turned out to be the master of the county government, who personally testified that Wang Jing of the county had privately swallowed and resold most of the disaster relief rice and grain issued by the court to grain merchants, and the silver obtained went into his private pocket, and Wang Jing also replaced the moldy old rice with new rice for relief, regardless of the life and death of the victims.

A number of officials involved in this matter were willing to testify against Wang Jing with the master, and took out the account books of the yamen as evidence.

Wang Jing was already sweating profusely here, and he couldn't even straighten up. In the face of conclusive evidence, he had to admit the fact of corruption.

When the people in the audience heard this, they were indignant, thinking of the tragic situation of the victims at that time, and couldn't help but scold Wang Jing, if it weren't for the soldiers of the security army guarding the audience, the angry people would really rush to the stage to beat Wang Jing up.

So far, everything is under the control of the court, all these sufferers and witnesses have been arranged in advance by the security army court, and Wang Jing's crimes have also been verified. The reason why Wang Jing was to be tried again here was specially arranged by Zhang Chu before leaving. Zhang Chu's idea is to let the people know that all grievances can be justified through the trial of the court. At the same time, it also let the people know that the security army killed these Ming Dynasty officials not because of the historical cycle of success and defeat, but because these corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty really deserve to be killed.

As the trial progressed, the people in the audience also became excited, they saw the weakness of the old man of the county who was originally powerful, and this was a great opportunity to avenge the previous oppression by him, and many people began to shout injustice to sue Wang Jing in the audience.

The prosecutor on the stage immediately assigned his manpower to meet with the people who wanted to file a complaint one by one in the background. Their grievances were recorded one by one, and some people were left as witnesses to wait in the background, ready to testify.

The people firmly believed that this prosecutor was a good official who spoke for the people, and they crawled on the ground and kept kowtowing to the prosecutor to thank him, but they couldn't stop him.

The trial on the stage became more lively, arousing greater interest among the onlookers. As the old saying goes: "The county order of the broken family." "In the Ming Dynasty, the county order has absolute rights. He holds the financial, judicial, academic, and even military power of a county, and can completely decide the life and death of a family. The only people who could compete with it were the big local families and the gentlemen who had ties to the court. Once these people collude together, the people really have nowhere to redress their grievances, and there is nowhere to sue them.

As the trial progressed, Wang Jing's spirit completely collapsed, and he only had the power to nod yes to the newly added crimes, many of which he couldn't remember at all. In his mind, he was already accustomed to all kinds of tricks, which were an ordinary part of his life, and would not be impressed at all.

The whole trial lasted for a day, and it was not until the evening that Wang Jing's crimes were sorted out, and the judge sitting in the center came out at this time and announced the verdict in court.

The court did not want to give Wang Jing a fair trial, but only to establish the existence of this form of trial.

The courts of the security army still use the laws of the Ming Dynasty many times, and Zhang Chu does not have the time and talents to formulate and implement the laws of the security army itself, so there is this strange scene, a group of thieves conducted a strange trial according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and sentenced a court official to death.

After the court pronounced the death sentence for Wang Jing, it consulted Yang Biao, who came to see the outcome of the trial, and Yang Biao agreed to the verdict on the spot.

Wang Jing, whose mind was still in a state of chaos, was pulled off the stage and his head was cut off on the spot.

The people present were jubilant, as if they had a major festival. (To be continued.) )
