Compared with Lu Jiu's worries and urgency, Li Xin didn't seem to care about this matter, but asked Lu Jiu not to make a big fuss.

"The fact that the gendarmes found the corpse of the rebel seal in the city is not a big deal, so what else can be considered a big deal?"

Lu Jiu rarely spoke to Li Xin in such a questioning tone, and then felt that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly confessed. Li Xin smiled and said, "It's all old brothers, what do you care about?" It's all like a stuffy gourd, if you don't say it directly, won't you tire me to death! ”

"Since the thirteenth brother let Lu Jiu have something to say, then Lu Jiu said it bluntly, and there have been a series of sudden incidents at the moment, first the case of Zhang Shi's murder of his wife leaked for no reason, then the murder case of the coal mine in the west of the city, and now there is a corpse with a rebellion and a letter, it is difficult for Lu Jiu not to connect these things together. If it is a coincidence, Lu Jiu feels that it is too far-fetched and not cautious enough, in case someone behind it is deliberate, if we don't take action, won't we suffer a big loss without preparation? ”

Li Xin only quietly listened to Lu Jiu's almost venting complaint, and when he was almost finished, he got up and came to the window, pushed the mullioned window open, and the fresh air immediately poured into the room, making people feel refreshed for a while.

"Have you ever heard of Dayu's water control?"

Lu Jiu wondered, who in the world doesn't know about Dayu's control of the water, and now he is talking about someone in the city who is making trouble against the Three Guards, how can it be involved in Dayu again? So he replied a little angrily: "I've heard of it!" ”

"It's good to have heard of it! Let me ask you again, have you heard of how Dayu controls the water? ”

This sentence stopped Lu Jiu, let him ride a horse and fight is an expert, how can ordinary people know about the work of controlling water? Li Xin didn't wait for him to answer, and said to himself: "Dayu controls the water, it's better to block it than to sparse it." If the turbulent current is blocked in the river and does not allow him to vent out, sooner or later it will eventually become a problem. The only radical solution is to rest the river, strengthen the river, and dredge it out completely, leaving the turbulent undercurrent in broad daylight and making it difficult to suffer. ”

Lu Jiu thought about Li Xin's words in silence, but he still didn't think so, in his opinion, controlling chaos is like putting out a fire, and only extinguishing the fire before it starts is the safest way, but out of his belief in the thirteenth brother, he didn't say anything to refute it.

"Brother Thirteen only said how Lu Jiu responded, and Lu Jiu would deal with it!"

Li Xinqing knew that his old brother was very stubborn and stubborn on weekdays, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to persuade him for a while, so since he refused to insist any longer, he would not continue.

"In a word, loose on the outside and tight on the inside! The gendarmes and pickets immediately moved to the highest level of combat readiness, but until the trial of Zhang Shi's case was concluded, it was imperative that the situation remained stable and that no one was allowed to cause chaos. ”

Watching Lu Jiu leave, Li Xin pondered for a while, and then ordered someone to call Cheng Mingjiu and Gu Shishi. The two of them received Lu Jiu's warning and were preparing for the whole city, when they heard the rumors of the chief soldier, they hurried over again.

Cheng Mingjiu has officially commanded the seven infantry battalions of the Three Guards Army, and Gu Fourteen is the deputy. At the same time, Cheng Gu and the others took into account the defense of Taiyuan City, and the weight of power and responsibility also reached an unprecedented Cheng dù.

And the main purpose of Li Xin's conversation with them this time was that in order to stabilize the situation, the whole city must be canceled. Second, the city defense must be upgraded to the highest level, and the damaged doors of each square must also be repaired urgently, and a curfew will be strictly ordered after sunset every day!

Zhang Shi's case was originally an emergency, and if it were not for it, Li Xin's main energy at present would have been on the existing strategy of "using business to support agriculture." In fact, Li Xin's measures were all formulated and implemented around the development of "supporting agriculture through business".

The seeds of Yumai were about to be purchased on a large scale, and at that time, he needed the people to work together to prepare for the food shortage that could break out at any time at the beginning of the summer, and the food shortage was one of the most important factors in the social unrest in the late Ming Dynasty. In contrast, the power struggle involved in Zhang's case, he hopes to drag on until the end of summer before the decisive battle.

Because Li Xin knows very well, as long as the jury system is opened, the next step will be protracted evidence, cross-examination, debate, and ruling. After the autumn, it is fast to come to a conclusion. At that time, the wheat and millet crops had been harvested, and after surviving the danger of food shortage, he could free up his hands to clean up those evil spirits.

Chengxi Coal Mine, Lu Sizhen was very depressed, obviously when he returned to Taiyuan, things had been resolved, how could it be that there was a mess again in this night, he really regretted that he had withdrawn the authority of the Inspector in Li Xin's General Military Mansion, otherwise he would be the one who had a headache now Li Xin.

He suddenly thought of how to keep his son from getting involved, and although the list of juries was submitted, the thirty-three juries were to be divided, and the whole force of this group was in the hands of his prosecutors, and then everything would be fine as long as Huizhong was divided into the third group of alternatives.

When the day passed, Lu Sizhen became more and more troubled, it seemed that it would be difficult to return to Taiyuan City tonight, so at this time, the henchmen in the city suddenly came and whispered in his ear. I saw that Lu Sizhen's face changed suddenly after listening to a few words.

"How sure is that?"

The henchman has the index finger and thumb, at least eighty percent! Lu Sizhen smiled sympathetically, God really opened his eyes and gave him this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and after pondering for a long time, he explained to the henchman one by one. The henchman understood, and disappeared into the vast night in a blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, the former gendarmerie barracks had now become a temporary trial site. Before Mi Yan could wake up from the initial excitement, the officials of the Prosecutor's Department had already come and gathered all the jurors together to give a lecture. After the completion of the case, the stacks of official documents that came with it were distributed to the jury, which is the criminal law that the jury must know.

Although the Da Ming Law is not a compulsory number for scholars, there is no one in the world who has not read this book, and the vast majority of people are quite disdainful of this kind of behavior of the Yamen of the Imperial Inspectorate. Some even feel that this is an insult to their abilities.

Mi Yan did not follow the coaxing, but was ready to read the official document in his hand carefully, only to see that the beginning was "Taiyuan Mansion Court Opening Righteousness" nine vigorous and powerful characters, only to read a page and couldn't help frowning, which is very different from the Ming trial method he is familiar with.

It was only at this time that Mi Yan understood the purpose of the jury from this first overview, and it was much surprising that the verdict of the entire case was decided by the jury, so that the so-called presiding judge became the ears of the deaf and became an ornament.

Looking at them one by one, Mi Yan felt more and more that the person who formulated the regulations was not simple, and he also roughly understood the trial framework of the Zhang Shi case he was facing, the criminal case was filed by the government, the defendant asked the lawyer to argue, and the role of the presiding judge was to be close to the adjudicator, judging what issues can be accepted by the court and what issues cannot be accepted by the court, and the jury will evaluate and judge these issues to clarify right and wrong!

Mi Yan suddenly felt that the responsibility on the shoulders of this official-recruited jury was much heavier than he had thought before, the so-called human life was as big as the sky, and their words could decide life and death. It is said that these terms were formulated by Li Xin, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and he could not imagine how a warrior who could not read a few big characters could formulate such a rigorous set of procedures.

Originally, I thought that the so-called jury trial was just a formality, but now it seems that it is actually playing the real thing. He squeezed to Lu Huizhong's side in a few steps and patted him on the shoulder.

Lu Huizhong was shocked and turned around suddenly. Shocked Mi Yan was also stunned, he and Lu Huizhong hit it off at first sight, and they have been like a rebellion for a few days, if ordinary people pat on the shoulder, it is definitely disrespectful, and the two of them hook up shoulder to shoulder all day long, this kind of behavior is also commonplace, how can it react so much today.

"It's Brother Yuan, it scared me!"

"How did Brother Zi'an be stunned?"

Lu Huizhong's eyes were gloomy, "Don't mention it, I was put into the third group of candidates, and I didn't have a chance to try the case!" He understood that this must be his father's obstacle, or a foot taller and a foot higher, and he admittedly concealed from him that he had passed the selection, but in the end he still failed to succeed.

Mi Yan didn't know what Lu Hui was thinking, so he asked him to read the documents that had been sent to his hand. Lu Huizhong threw it on the ground in a dejected manner, "It's all become an alternative, what's the use of it!" ”

Mi Yan bent down to pick up the paperwork, and handed it back to Lu Huizhong, "Brother Zi'an, look at this 'Taiyuan Mansion Court's opening case', which is very different from the previously rumored Li Zhengxi!" ”

Lu Huizhong sneered and said: "Even the beginning of the sect is clear, Li Zhengxi is just a martial artist, what does he have to do?" ”

But as he read page by page, the frivolity on his face gradually faded, and was replaced by a solemnity in his thinking, and it took a long time to raise his head.

"Elder Brother Yuan, but you said that this opening statement was formulated by Li Zhengxi?"

Mi Yan was noncommittal.

"No matter who formulates it, this person is not simple, and he can be a pillar of a generation!"

Lu Huizhong said with a smile: "Elder Brother Yuan, don't be sensational! These things are far away from you and me! ”

Mi Yan didn't argue with it, what Lu Huizhong said was true, they didn't even have fame, what kind of governance and security were they talking about, he only felt that the system in front of him was far different from the practice of adjudicating cases in the Ming Dynasty, if it was tried, there would definitely be an ending that changed the world's cognition......

Suddenly, the officials of the Yamen of the Imperial Inspectorate came again, and there was another commotion in the midst of the jury.

"Let's be quiet, and now we will start drawing lots to determine the three groups of jurors, and the order."

"Isn't it already decided? How to change the order overnight? ”

The official reprimanded: "The rules were set by General Zhengxi a long time ago, you go to him to theorize!" ”

At this point, although there are still many dissatisfactions among the people below, no one is openly clamoring.

However, Lu Huizhong, who was mixed in the crowd, was overjoyed, who said that one zhang high is the highest, it seems that this Li Zhengxi is ten zhang and a hundred zhang taller!
