As soon as Qian Jingya's words came out, there were whispers around her. Lan Jing'an asked loudly: "Who are you accusing?" And for what reason? ”

Qian Jingya kowtowed: "The person the folk girl sued is the owner of the Hongsheng horse team. When the Hongsheng horse team was tight on the front of the state, not only did they not share the suffering with the people, but they sold grain, cloth and other things, which was really guilty. ”

Lan Jing'an didn't know, turned his head and asked Xiao Jian behind him: "Who is the boss of this Hongsheng horse team?" Xiao Jian didn't care about the exclamations around him, and replied with a frown: "It's this kneeling person." ”

After listening to this, Lan Jing'an showed a playful expression: "Boss Qian, sue yourself, it's not common." Should you give me a reason. ”

Qian Jingya said sadly: "The sinner has always known that she is guilty, but in order to survive in this not too peaceful northern land, she has to use extraordinary means. It's just that every time I think of the murderous weapons used in the army, they are sold in my own hands, and the prices of grain, cloth, medicine and wine in the city remain high, and I really can't sleep and eat in my heart. Only when Jinyang gets peace today can he dare to seek justice for Jinyang and the people of Bingzhou. No matter what the punishment, the sinner is willing to bear it! ”

Before she could finish speaking, there was a discussion around her. Lan Jing'an turned his head and asked Tong Zhao in a loud voice: "Vice General Tong, I asked you to help me investigate the convoy that helped us enter Jinyang but refused to leave my name, but can you find out?" ”

Tong Zhao replied loudly: "Qi Qi Da Si Ming, during this time, only Boss Qian's Hongsheng Horse Team can enter Jinyang City, so there is no doubt that it must be the Hongsheng Horse Team." Moreover, Boss Qian has also repeatedly said that the last general will follow the righteous division of the cadre army. Although Boss Qian blames himself very much, he has indeed made meritorious contributions many times, and he hopes that the big secretary will spare her three points for her sake of calming Jinyang. ”

Lan Jing'an nodded, indicating that he knew. Then he looked back at Qian Jingya: "It turns out that you took such a risk to help us at the beginning." Then why don't you leave your name? ”

Qian Jingya replied: "The sinner just did what she should do, and she really deserves nothing and is not worth mentioning. The sinner, like everyone in Jinyang City, looks forward to peace in the world and a peaceful life. The sinner felt sorry for the soldiers and civilians of the state, she was deeply ashamed, and it was not a pity to die, and now she only thought about doing her part for them again. ”

Lan Jing'an asked curiously, "Oh? How do you want to contribute? ”

Qian Jingya did not hesitate at all in her voice: "The sinner woman heard that you have given many soldiers to go home, and I feel that it is not easy to be a soldier. The people who do not divide the state are still the old cadres of the army, and the sinner woman is willing to give all the soldiers a hundred baht each. It's just that I'm afraid that the sinner's money will be dirty, and she won't be worthy of these soldiers. I also hope that the great priest will answer. ”

Qian Jingya's voice spread to the periphery, and the people and generals were not only talking about it at this time, but also completely uproaring.

Lan Jing'an asked the soldiers to suppress the noise, and then slowly spoke: "Boss Qian, do you really want to do this?" You must know that there are more than 200,000 people in the state army and cadres, and each person will pay 100 yuan, a total of more than 2,000 gold! Did you take it? ”

Qian Jingya took a deep breath and shook her head: "There are not so many sinners. All the belongings are no more than 1,800 gold. However, the sinner woman wants to keep her promise even if she borrows money. In the second half of his life, he stayed in a prison or worked as a cow or a horse, just hoping to atone for the bad sins he had committed. ”

Lan Jing'an laughed loudly: "You are a real person. Your sin aside. If you are really willing to give all your family property to the two armies, it is not good for me, the great commander, to sit idly by. I don't have to borrow money, I will make up the rest of the money. Today, in front of everyone, I make you a wish of 100 dollars. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Bai Qingfeng: "Lord Bai, you can help me remember it." When the time comes, take these hundreds of gold from my private account. The reward of 100 dollars should be distributed as soon as possible, and the soldiers who returned to their hometowns must receive it before they set out. ”

The surprise on Bai Qingfeng's face couldn't be contained, but he still agreed to the promise.

The faces of the surrounding soldiers were already smiling, and the people of Jinyang were basically out of their homes, and they were also jubilant when they heard the news.

Lan Jing'an and the other people's excitement decreased slightly, and then they spoke again: "Boss Qian, you said that you have been punished." If it is your fault, it is the people of the state who are harmed, and the soldiers who go to the battlefield are harmed, and they should naturally be judged, not by me alone. So let me have ten soldiers and ten people come together to condemn you. Are you convinced? ”

Qian Jingya still bowed down: "The sinner woman is convinced, thank you for your orders." ”

Lan Jing'an nodded, asked people to find a basket with a lid, and found twenty thin branches at random. Ten sticks of fine wood were thrown into the crowd of onlookers, five were thrown to the people accompanying the cadres, and the remaining five were scattered to the sergeants of the state, so as to select the person who decides.

The rules of Lanjing are also very simple, one branch is a one-year sentence. She ordered someone to find the nearest storefront, put the basket on the cupboard, so that no one was allowed in the room, and then let the people who found the branches take turns to put the branches in the basket. If you feel that Qian Jingya is not guilty, just throw the wooden branch on the ground.

This novel way of sentencing is an eye-opener, and both the people and the generals are stretching their necks and waiting to see the end of this good show.

There is also a discussion around, many people think that it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and Qian Jingya has helped the cadres to enter Jinyang peacefully and avoided a disaster of swords, which can be regarded as a great good. She also offered all her family assets to the soldiers, which was a great achievement. What's more, the inflated price during the war was not an unexpected thing, and it was not her fault. From this point of view, this money boss not only should not be punished, but should also be praised.

More daring people stood up directly, knelt in front of Lan Jing'an, and pleaded for Qian Jingya, hoping that the great priest would announce that she would not be punished.

Lan Jing'an had no choice but to explain to the kneeling people: "A certain person has received the favor of Boss Qian, and has never suffered the hardships mentioned by Boss Qian, what she sees must be her good, and it is difficult to ensure fairness." In that case, then so-and-so can only leave this choice to everyone. Whether there is a sin or not, this bamboo basket will tell you. Let's wait a little longer. ”

The begging people listened to her words, admired her justice, and stopped arguing, quietly waiting for the results of the branches. Lan Jing calmly led everyone to wait aside. At this time, only Bai Qingfeng was in a hurry, and his hands and feet were cold, but he still had to make a look of nothing to do with himself. He could only pray silently, hoping that there would be two less branches in the basket.

When he was young, the last of the people who threw the branches also returned. Lan Jing ordered Biluan to take the basket himself, open the lid in public, and pour out the wooden branches. Unexpectedly, Bi Luan struggled to fall, and not a single branch fell out of it. At this moment, the crowd erupted in cheers, praising God for having eyes and good people for good rewards. Only Qian Jingya collapsed on the ground, revealing an unbelievable look.

Lan Jing'an spread his hands at Qian Jingya: "Boss Qian, it seems that you are too worried." You sold goods at a high price during wartime, and you did lose it. But you know that you can change your mistakes, and you remember the people of the state in your heart, but you should be rewarded. If the merits and demerits are offset, then there will be no reward or punishment. You have to keep in mind that this decision was made by all the military and civilians of the state. If there is any misconduct in the future, you will have to make up for it twice! ”

After speaking, Lan Jing'an didn't care about Qian Jingya, who was soft on the ground, and continued to move forward with the rest of the army. Bi Luan hurriedly took advantage of the unpreparedness and gently pushed Bai Qingfeng, so that Bai Qingfeng, who had lost his mind, followed Lan Jing'an's footsteps.
