Volume 1 Luzhou City Chapter 22 Verbal War (Rushing to the List!)
Ziye returned to the middle of the high platform unhurriedly, gently took off the lion pattern mask, revealing a delicate face, which looked a little pale after not seeing the sun for many days, and stared at Zhao Wude with bright eyes, his eyes were like thorns, "Lord Taishou has good eyesight, indeed, I am Qin Ziye!"
Qin Ziye's appearance surprised the people who were familiar with the Qin family, and it was said that Qin Ziye was locked up for beating up the officials' relatives. He died in the disaster half a month ago. But what the hell is going on when you see a living person standing here?
The most surprised person was Qin Zirui, how tragic the fire in the west of the city was, but he had seen the scene with his own eyes, there were ruins everywhere, corpses were all over the ground, and there was a scorched earth within a radius of hundreds of meters, he didn't believe that anyone could come out alive from there.
When Zhao Wude saw that familiar face, he couldn't wait to rush up and tear it to pieces, with Wu Chen here, he would definitely not allow you to use force: "Hmph! Since you admit it, you can still be lightly punished if you tie up your hands and capture this official." If there is resistance, kill ......on the spot!
"Wait, may I ask what Ziye committed to kill on the spot?"
"Hmph, what's the matter? Escaping from prison without permission while wearing a guilty body is lawless; Man Xiangge breaking the limbs of a dog is a use of martial arts to oppress the innocent; fabricating an identity in the selection competition to get through the test is insidious and cunning to deceive the honorable; framing others with the intention of murdering his own father is disloyal and unfilial; stealing the official treasury and robbing innocent businessmen is a crime of theft. Punishment for several crimes is inescapable, and the death penalty cannot be escaped!"
Listening to Zhao Wude's eloquent accusations, he seemed to remember the same scene half a month ago, when he was just an acquired beginner-level martial artist, the only one who relied on the Qin family, didn't care about him or even fell into the ground, he was just a clay figure kneaded by everyone. No one looks up to him, and no one is willing to help him, the Qin family's push and the Zhao family's desperate situation almost killed him!
There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, do you think that today I am still the same as I was at the beginning? I will repay you twice as much today as the pain and suffering you have given me!
Moreover, the registration of names is just a formality, and there are hundreds of illiterate warriors in the competition. When the cotyledons signed up, they accidentally twisted their fingers and couldn't write, so they took the name of the circle, why not?
Zhao Wude, the name was replaced by a circle Originally, it was to take care of the warrior who had no ability to write, and it was not inappropriate to replace the name with a circle for the time being due to a finger injury, and the handprint comparison was correct, and there was no substitute for the test. It is far-fetched to forcibly blame the unwillingness to write one's real name on deception. I didn't expect this kid to become so sharp and sharp after half a month, I really underestimated him.
"Since you don't want to hide it, why do you wear a mask all day long, it's clear that you're hiding your identity!"
"The cotyledons were just burned by the fire, and a layer of green plaster was applied, and the face was hideous and difficult to show, so I bought this mask to cover up. Martial artists are often injured in fights, sometimes to the face, and it is common to cover up with masks, even in this selection competition, there are many candidates who wear masks, are they all deceitful?"
Zhao Wude was speechless, no matter how unreasonable he was, he knew that if he continued to hold on to it, he would be charged with causing trouble, so he immediately changed the topic.
"Okay, Qin Ziye, your ability to sophistry is really amazing. ”
"The adults praised it falsely, and Ziye didn't dare to be ashamed. ”
"You...... You ......" Zhao Wude looked at Qin Ziye's indifferent eyes, forcibly suppressed the flame in his heart, and calmed down. "Then how can you explain that you escaped from prison without authorization?"
"Guilty?" Qin Ziye pretended to look at Zhao Wude in confusion, as if he didn't know what he was going to say. "Dare to ask Lord Zhao, when did Ziye wear a crime?"
"Hmph, dare to quibble, half a month ago, you beat the official family and caused the dog to be seriously injured, and the official arrested you and sent you to the Chengxi Prison, but it is a fact that you absconded in fear of crime?"
"Lord Zhao has been an official for too long, and this review process is confused?"
"???" Zhao Wude was confused.
"According to the law of Nanliang, no matter what crime the offender committed, the case must be elevated to the court, and the government collects evidence, and the verdict can only be executed when the human and material evidence is complete, the motive for the crime is clear, and the prisoner pleads guilty and is placed in custody. Excuse me, has Ziye ever been tried? Has there ever been any physical evidence? What was the motive for committing the crime? Where is the prisoner being held?"
The more Zhao Wude listened, the more frightened he became! How could this kid know so clearly? Where he had tried the case, it was completely a process that he handled by himself, and he was ready to commit suicide in fear of guilt when the time came. Who would have thought that this bastard kid would pull out the process. Where is there any physical evidence, let alone signatures and drawings. Feeling the suspicious eyes of the people around him, and the increasingly dangerous gaze of Xue Chun of the royal family, he knew that he had to put this matter over! Otherwise, he hardly dared to think about the consequences!
"This official, this official just suspected that you were a suspect and was temporarily put in a prison pending trial, but you escaped from prison while you were awaiting trial, and it was clear that you absconded in fear of crime!"
Qin Ziye smiled contemptuously: "What kind of prison is the Chengxi Prison?"
"Death row for prisoners on death row! How? Assaulting officials and their relatives is a serious crime! The death penalty is not excessive!"
"The problem is that there is a difference between a suspect and a prisoner, and it is not the same type of prisoner, the suspect is really a suspect of the crime, and the prisoner is a convicted criminal after trial. The law stipulates that suspects and prisoners are to be held separately, and one suspect is placed directly on death row for death row prisoners. Master Zhang, you clearly want to put me to death directly! Could it be that every time Lord Zhang encounters a suspect, he is put on death row without interrogation? So what is the use of asking me to follow the laws of Nanliang? What is the use of wanting the people to be clear? What is the use of wanting the righteousness and brightness in this palace? What is the use of asking for the crow hat on your head?"
The word-by-word questioning almost crushed Zhao Wude's spirit, a large amount of cold sweat penetrated his coat, his hands were pressed on the table, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out! The sound of discussion in his ears made it even more difficult for him to concentrate.
"I know about this, that day they caught the third prince of Qin from the Qin Mansion and sent him directly to the prison outside the West City, at that time I thought it was the will of the capital, but who knew that it was Lord Zhang who did it himself"
"There is no such reason for sentencing without interrogation. ”
"Isn't the fourteen-year-old daughter of the widow's family? A group of officials came and said that her daughter had sold herself to the rich building, and dragged her away without saying a word. This widow's husband and wife have left a lot of silver, enough to live most of their lives, how can they sell themselves for some money? It's not that I like people who are so good-looking, and rob the people's daughters. ”
"I heard that the big proprietor of Fuguilou is Zhao Gongzi. At the beginning, he spent ten taels of silver to buy it from a merchant from another place. Ten taels! The flow of water in this rich building is more than 100 taels of silver a day!"
"No wonder, no wonder......"
"This Zhao Wude is really not a thing, what do you treat as our common people? Forcibly buying and selling, forcibly robbing people's daughters, and exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, this is to force us to rebel! We can't let him do anything wrong, we have to sue the emperor!"
"Yes!
