At noon the next day, two carriages sent four inspectors to the Xiaobeishan Temple, including Ruan Dayue, and Zhu Daolin didn't even prepare tea, and sent the two frightened and half-stupid bandits to the four dusty Yushi.

The psychology of the two bandits had already collapsed, and they trembled with fright in the face of the four inspectors wearing official uniforms and full of righteousness, Zhu Daolin asked a question, and the two answered two or three sentences, and soon they were still scrambling to answer, Ruan Dayue and the five editors sat on the side and wrote hard, their faces were full of excitement to catch the big news.

After half an hour of interrogation, the two unlucky bandits were immediately escorted to Longtan Town after pressing their handprints, and Zhu Daolin ordered Zhang Shoucheng to lead his troops to stay behind, ride the captured jujube red horse, and lead the two carriages to Longtan.

Xu Wentao and several acting battalion commanders had already set up the trial platform, and more than 4,000 Longtan villagers gathered in front of the high platform, pointing to the Wang Inspector, Zhou Lizheng and the other six villains who were rampant in the township who were tied up by five flowers on the high platform, and discussed a lot, and the four inspectors who arrived in a hurry were stunned and immediately realized that Zhu Daolin had a conspiracy.

Zhu Daolin turned over and dismounted in the astonished discussion of thousands of people, and discussed slightly with Xu Wentao and others who came forward to salute and report, and regardless of the four imperial historians who ran to the side of the high platform and whispered, he called Ruan Dayue, who was in high spirits, and commanded in a low voice:

"Let the two gentlemen with fast pen points come to the stage with me, sit behind me and record the content of the interrogation, and the others will interview the local people as much as possible, collect the evidence of the crime of patrolling and inspecting and colluding with water bandits to run rampant in the countryside and killing the people for many years, and immediately print a special issue after returning, build up the momentum, drum up the people's indignation, and let the world know that the Jiangnan Times is a righteous force that represents the interests of the people and dares to face the darkness!"

"The general said it well! This is exactly what we are diligently pursuing, don't worry, General, the students will definitely write this great article! Ruan Dayue replied with confidence.

The four imperial historians are really not good people, and they resolutely oppose Zhu Daolin's public trial. Quoting the "Da Ming Law" to refute Zhu Daolin's practice in righteous and solemn terms, and endlessly quoting scriptures, there is only one purpose, that is, to send all the prisoners captured by Zhu Daolin to Yingtianfuya.

How could Zhu Daolin let them get their wish? Immediately ordered the two acting battalion commanders to be on guard, and took their deputy Xu Wentao and two newspaper editors to the high platform, and walked to the edge of the high platform alone. Speak loudly to thousands of people:

"Folks, I guess everyone knows who I am, we are under the orders of the six Yamen of Nanjing, the Yamen of the Tianfu and the Admiral of the Jiangnan Navy to take the lead, within a few days, the victims who have fled because of the flood of the Yellow River will come one after another, and the Ziyangguan and Hushan Manor will be responsible for contributing money and efforts to the wilderness along the river in the east of the town, and then build roads, docks, workshops and residences until the Yellow River recedes and can return home."

Thousands of Longtan civilians had heard the news from the strangely clad officers and soldiers before. But I didn't know that it was the Ziyang Temple of Rende Broadcasting and the Hushan Manor of the rich world who were in charge, and after listening to Zhu Daolin's explanation, the original noise quickly turned into exclamations and cheers.

Zhu Daolin waited for a while, and the audience quieted down, in order to save time, Zhu Daolin pointed to Wang Xunjian, Zhou Lizheng and others on the stage:

"Yesterday evening, when we set up camp in Xiaobeishan, we encountered a group of water bandits armed with officers and soldiers' weapons and bows and crossbows. After a fierce battle, our brave soldiers suffered many casualties. Finally, more than 30 heinous bandits were killed, and two of them were captured. ”

"After the interrogation, I was shocked, the water bandits who have been entrenched in the Xiaobeishan Temple for many years to kill people and steal goods, rob business travelers, and rob people's daughters are actually in the same group as the dignified government inspection and Longtanli, among them, the water bandit leader named Wang Yuanjie turned out to be the cousin of the Wang inspection on the stage!"

"Folks. You know what comes to my mind first when I read the confession? I thought of you, thousands of fathers and villagers in Longtan Town, don't you know that there is a heinous bandit in Xiaobeishan, which is less than ten miles away? Could it be that thousands of villagers in Longtan Town have not been bullied? ”

"Someone was robbed of money, someone was robbed of their daughter. But why didn't anyone report to the official? Why? ”

"My lord, we don't dare!"

A mournful cry in the crowd immediately triggered a complaint from the audience, and the excited crowd pushed more than 100 soldiers who were holding hands to block them, and rushed to the high platform in front of them.

Zhu Daolin hurriedly stretched out his hands and shouted, "Fellow villagers, please be quiet", Xu Wentao also ran to the front of the stage and shouted silence, and the 400 brothers of Ding Erxiong's fifth battalion arranged on the periphery immediately formed a team and ran to the front of the high platform to stop the excited people, plus Zhu Daolin opened his voice hoarsely and asked the villagers to wait, and the trial was carried out immediately, which calmed down the excited and angry villagers.

The shrewd Xu Wentao went up to discuss with Zhu Daolin for a while, and ordered the prisoner to be escorted to the edge of the high platform for interrogation.

Zhu Daolin, who is deeply involved in the way of interrogation, did not immediately interrogate Wang Xunzhen and Zhou Lizheng, who were the most angry among the people, but first tried the two bandits who had collapsed after being interrogated twice, and it was very easy to obtain the testimony that everyone wanted to hear.

Next, the three soldiers of the inspection station who did many evils also confessed.

The sixth and seventh people on trial were Zhou Lizheng's housekeepers and family members, and in the face of the thousands of angry people and the fierce escort officers and soldiers, Zhu Daolin was frightened with a few words, and the two things that bullied the soft and afraid of the hard confessed all the dirty things of the master, which once again caused bursts of angry curses from the audience.

Only then did Zhu Daolin turn to kneel in front of the stage and tremble Zhou Lizheng: "Zhou Xiaolin, there is a saying called confession and leniency, resistance and strictness, I think you know, you have done too much evil, I don't want to ask you anymore, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

As soon as the desperate Zhou Xiaoling heard the word "confession and leniency", a glimmer of life immediately rose in his heart, and he immediately regretted his sins with tears, shouted a few times and immediately turned to the cheap son-in-law Wang Inspector, who was always hard, not only exposed the crime of Wang Inspector who had sent water bandits to ambush the previous inspector and sink it into the river, but also denounced Inspector Wang for forcibly taking his baby daughter as a concubine, and fornicating with the third aunt of his Zhou family, and finally took the initiative to press the handprint on the confession, which attracted thousands of soldiers and civilians to exclaim, and Zhu Daolin shook his head again and again, The shock made the four imperial historians hiding behind stunned.

The matter has come to this point, everything is fine, Zhu Daolin no longer gave any chance to inspect the imperial history, waved his hand, and issued an order to correct the law on the spot.

Twenty burly soldiers swarmed up, in groups of two, pressed the prisoners to the high platform, and the ten executioners who had already been selected made a grand appearance, and ten snow-bright embroidered spring knives waved down, and Wang Inspector, Zhou Lizheng and other ten heads rolled down the stage, and the blood sprayed turned into a rainbow in the earth-shattering exclamation......
