Chapter Seventy-Two: The Prince's Personal Trial of the Case
Whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, the first thing to do is to see the strength of the opponent. Chen Yanzong has always been very confident in his schemes. But he forgot this time that it was a prince of the Great Song Dynasty who wanted to calculate, the real emperor of Qiongzhou.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who has the right to open the government and form an army, can even disobey the decrees of the imperial court in Qiongzhou. Chen Yanzong played such a conspiracy with such a powerful person, how could he succeed?
The worst, he succeeded in his calculations, and at most disgusted Zhao Xiaoxi. can annoy Zhao Xiaoxi, the Chen family was raided and liquidated, which is also a matter of Zhao Xiaoxi's words. This may be in response to that sentence, if you don't die, you won't die!
With Zhao Da a little shocked, he left the prince to try the case in person. The cavalry under his command quickly stepped forward and said, "Wait for all to get up and go to the barracks to wait for treatment." Those who dare to disobey the king's orders will be killed! ”
Listening to the murderous words of these cavalrymen, Chen Yanzong looked at his clansmen with a frightened expression. He also forced himself to calm down: "You all listen well, obey the orders of the superiors, and all go to the barracks to stay." Don't cause trouble! ”
And at this time, Zhao Da also said in a timely manner: "Patriarch Chen, please!" I believe that at this time, the prince is already preparing to open a court in the vegetable market, you don't want the prince to wait for a long time, right? ”
After a slightly sarcastic remark, Chen Yanzong also had a bitter face, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the grass people will go over." Tired of Shangguan leading the way, the grass people went to the vegetable field and waited for the prince to fall! ”
Let the two sons around him, who are also over sixty years old, be responsible for appeasing the hundreds of Chen family members, with a feeling of not knowing the future. Under the watchful eye of the cavalry, they went to the military camp in the city to wait for the fate. This situation made the people in the city marvel at it.
Quite a few people from this scene in front of their eyes. Immediately realized the mountain that had pressed down on their heads. With the arrival of the king of Qiongzhou, it has collapsed with a bang. Thinking of this prince, he opened a court to ask questions in the vegetable market, and everyone followed Zhao Da into the city again.
When they arrived at Caicheng, they saw that the vegetable market had been surrounded by officers and soldiers in armor. On the high platform that had been used for beheading, a young man in a royal robe was already seated.
From the talk of these people. Everyone also knew that this young man was the prince sent to Qiongzhou by the imperial court. The high-flying royal spirit still made the people who arrived at the scene. Didn't dare to speak out loud.
With Zhao Da, Chen Yanzong was brought to the high platform. For the first time, Chen Yanzong also saw the king of Qiongzhou, who was about to make the Chen family irreversible. Being so young made Chen Yanzong a little shocked.
Accompanied by Chen Yanzong, he knelt down again and kowtowed: "Grass people Chen Yanzong." See King of Qiongzhou. Chitose Chitose! ”
Zhao Xiaoxi, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, still said very seriously: "You are Chen Yanzong?" ”
'Grass people are exactly! ’
After a question and answer, Zhao Xiaoxi said again: "Thinking of your old age, get up and talk back!" ”
'Thank you, Lord Wang! ’
Chen Yanzong didn't refuse, he simply got up from the ground, and stood obediently in front of Zhao Xiaoxi with a slightly bent body, waiting for Zhao Xiaoxi's fall. Now, if Zhao Xiaoxi really wants to copy the Chen family. Chen Yanzong was also powerless to resist.
But at this time, Zhao Xiaoxi got up. Leave in front of the Taishi's chair. Ignoring his presence, he walked towards the edge of the platform. Facing the people below, he showed a smile and said: "Tingmai's fathers and fellow villagers, today is the first time this king has met with you.
Yesterday, the king inspected Tingmai, but witnessed an incident of robbing a people's daughter, and the perpetrator was the county lieutenant of this county. The king will not say much about this man's judgment.
What this king wants to say to you is that under the world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Although Qiongzhou is located in the southeast, it is also a wild place in the eyes of many ministers of the imperial court. But it is still the land of the imperial court, and it also needs to obey the laws of the imperial court.
In the past, the situation in the counties of Qiongzhou was not much known to this king. But since the imperial court has given Qiongzhou as the king's fief, then everyone is the king's people, and the king has the right to be the master of your house.
Tingmai County Order, with the emperor's grace, was dismissed and investigated by this king last night. From now on, the king will dispatch young and promising new officials to take on the burden of educating the people, so that everyone's life will be better.
But there is one point, this king wants to use everyone's mouth to tell the people of Qiongzhou. In the eyes of this king, whether it is an official squire, or a common man who is a peddler and a pawn. As long as he violates the law, this king will punish him to the end. ”
Without waiting for Zhao Xiaoxi to continue, the people standing below heard these words that were treated equally. If there are bold people, they can't help but say hello out loud. This call woke up some lifeless people.
With the sound of applause, Zhao Hyo-seok could only raise his hand in the end and prohibit the noise of the crowd. continued: "This king knows that Qiongzhou is located in a remote area, and everyone's life is not easy.
But in addition to knowing about taxation, the government has never thought of benefiting everyone, so that everyone can improve their lives and live a comfortable life. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the imperial court, and a dereliction of duty on the part of these officials. What this king wants to say is that in the future, this king will not need such an official.
When the king first arrived, he heard a lot of bad things, which really made the king angry. But this king is not a person who is willful, since the court has a law, then this king also needs to obey the law of the court and act according to the law of the court.
Last night, someone in the city openly colluded with the bandits of Qingyunzhai outside the city to try to attack Tingmai City, intending to assassinate the king. What do you think should be done with such bold fanatics? ”
The people who were agitated immediately pulled their throats and said, "Kill! Raid the house, punish the nine clans! ”
All kinds of answers fell into Chen Yanzong's ears, and he was also very frightened. At the same time, he also knew that at this time, even if Zhao Xiaoxi copied his Chen family, he was afraid that no one would feel that they were wronged.
When the people's mood calmed down a little, Zhao Xiaoxi said: "Attacking the county seat is like plotting rebellion." Assassinating a prince is the same as rebellion. I believe that these two crimes do not need to be said by this king, everyone knows in their hearts.
But he could not do anything, but decided by the words of this king. Since the imperial court has appointed officials, it is necessary to take over the law. Whether this king is spreading rumors and causing trouble, or is it true, today in front of everyone, I will see if I try it.
There is only one point, last night, the king detained all the incompetent officials of Tingmai to the county government prison to wait for their fate. Therefore, this matter of interrogating the prisoner will be done by this king, do you think it is okay! ”
At this time, naturally, no one will say stupid things like 'no'. In the cheers of the people, Zhao Xiaoxi sat back on the Taishi chair. Looking at Chen Yanzong, who was in a cold sweat, Zhao Xiaoxi also felt that now he finally knew that he was afraid!
Zhao Xiaoxi, who sat back on the main seat, said calmly: "Zhao Da, show Patriarch Chen!" ”
For this, Zhao Da was stunned for a moment, and Chen Yanzong was also stunned for a moment. But in the face of Chen Yanzong, who Zhao Da came over with a chair, he still wanted to refuse. Just listen to Zhao Dadao: "What? Still want to disobey the order? ”
Get! realized that the next step was the beginning of the show, and Chen Yanzong could only be in the angry eyes of many people. Trembling, he sat on a chair that seemed to be full of needles, quietly waiting for the verdict that did not know the result.
At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi calmed down, patted the wooden hall and said: "Bring someone to commit a crime!" ”
As his order was issued, the guards who had been guarding the criminals, the previous county lieutenant Chen, who was already stunned, were pushed in front of Zhao Xiaoxi without their hands. This frightened county lieutenant knelt directly in front of Zhao Xiaoxi.
Waiting for County Lieutenant Chen, he looked at his grandfather who was sitting on the side. With a twinkle in his eyes, he said, "Grandpa, help!" My grandson doesn't want to die, help! My grandson really doesn't want to die! Save your grandson! ”
Faced with his grandson's bitter pleading, Mrs. Chen suddenly understood the reason why Zhao Xiaoxi asked him to sit here and watch the trial. It is said that the Son does not teach, and the Father is guilty. This beloved grandson will have today's end, who can blame?
If it weren't for Mrs. Chen, she felt that the family couldn't just have money, and she must have the right to strongly recommend this martial but not skilled grandson to become the county lieutenant of Tingmai. I'm afraid that today, his grandson will not be reduced to this step.
At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi said coldly: "Roaring in court, what crime do you dare to do!" Left and right, palm mouth! ”
The two guards with knives who acted as yacha picked up the token that they threw off, and slapped them a few times in the mouth of County Lieutenant Chen. This scene made Zhao Xiaoxi suddenly feel like he had become a Bafu patrol case.
The slap of the Chen County Lieutenant's cheeks was swollen like a pig's head, and his mouth was also bloody. But in the face of this tragic situation, Chen Yanzong didn't say much, just clenched his hands, and felt like a heartache.
In Chen County, the lieutenant finally became honest, and Zhao Xiaoxi invited the Li father and daughter of Lijiazhuang to the court. In front of the people, let Li Youfu, who had robbed him, tell everything that happened that day.
For this kind of snatching of people's daughters, the people in the audience seem to be very indifferent. The reason is very simple, this kind of thing is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened to the Li family's father and daughter, and there are not a few women in the city who have been harmed by the Chen County Lieutenant.
At the scene of the trial, among the people watching the audience, someone suddenly cried. Not long after, in the crowded crowd, he squeezed to the front and shouted: "The grass people are wronged, please ask the prince to avenge Mo Min's grievances!" ”
This sudden interruption made the people at the scene also look sideways. can see that a middle-aged couple dressed in old clothes, they seem to know why this couple dares to cry out at this time.
The reason is very simple, the couple's daughter also committed suicide by throwing herself into a well after being ruined by Chen County Lieutenant. Forced by the threat of the other party daring to sue and kill the whole family, the couple has been living a life that is worse than death.
Now that I see Zhao Xiaoxi, he really opened the court to ask the case and uphold justice for the people. They could no longer hold back and risk being beheaded. still shouted in the audience, hoping to avenge his dead daughter.
As a result, there are one and two, and the people who have been bullied by the county lieutenant named 'Batian' shouted 'wronged' one after another, and were all taken to the high platform by the guards one by one. It can be seen from this how big the anger of the Chen family is! (To be continued......)
