[977] Trial
Dark clouds came silently towards the sky above Yuque City.
From the middle of the Yuque Palace, the light curtain hanging down from the mouth of the sinkhole was no longer bright and bright, and gradually became a little dim.
The yin wind was bleak, blowing through the Juexiang Garden, bringing a burst of scattered chills.
The main building was a little dimly lit, and the centipede beads and luminous beads in the building lit up together, dispelling the darkness in the building and illuminating every corner of the building. The ghost mother opened the notebook in her hand and looked at it carefully.
Looking at the notebook in her hand, a chill appeared in her eyes, and when she finished reading the notebook, she might have to track down Lin Cong's dereliction of duty and negligence.
In short, after the ghost mother asked, her face was full of displeasure and dissatisfaction.
Lin Cong and Xuanjiao's responsibilities are mainly to be responsible for the collection and collation of various military intelligence at home and abroad. But this time, even the rebellion has happened for several hours, and the ghost mother has not seen the Xuanjiao report this matter, so she is naturally displeased.
The yin wind swept up, whistling through the Absolute Fragrance Garden.
Between heaven and earth, there is more coolness.
Lord Lin Cong didn't seem to be aware of this in advance. Chun Han hurriedly said to the ghost mother: "Because the rebels were temporarily assembled, it only took one day to call up thousands of people. ”。
When these words came out, the anger in the eyes of the ghost mother was even stronger, and the swiftness of the rebels' actions made the ghost mother angry.
Not only did Chunyun say so, but even the ghost mother's hand was written in the notebook, so the anger in the ghost mother's chest was even heavier.
That report came from the ghost generals of the Nine Shadows Kingdom stationed in Luofu Mountain, and the ghost captives and Shi Ben jointly signed the report.
The rebels began to assemble a rebellion in the second half of last night, attacking the area near Luofu Mountain, mainly the nearby villages and towns and military camps, with the aim of looting Luofu Mountain, grain, grass and weapons.
According to the known intelligence, the organizer who claimed to be Du Ziren's illegitimate son only used a piece of jade pendant that Du Ziren wore back then to assemble a large army. In addition to Du Ziren's die-hard followers in the past, there are also some heroes who used to be powerful in the territory of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but have now been punished. Before that, the secret agents in the army did not find any clues, and it was not until the second half of last night, an hour before the rebels moved, that a secret agent of the Xuan Sect noticed the clues and reported the ghost captives and Shi Ben in time.
Moreover, the rebels are creating chaos around the vicinity of Luofu Mountain, and for a while, all parts of the vicinity of Luofu Mountain will be full of wolf smoke at the same time.
This is also the reason why the ghost mother is angry.
It had been a long time since there had been a rebellion in the country, and now the sudden outbreak of such a large-scale armed rebellion made the anger in the ghost mother's chest.
However, it is also written in the notebook that although the rebels are huge and fast, they are in fact improvised troops, a rabble, and they are not well prepared, basically fighting with sticks and hoes. And the ghost captives and Shi Ben got the information in advance and quickly organized a counterattack.
The rabble ran into the regular army of the Nine Shadows Country, and the outcome was obvious, naturally the rabble was defeated.
This is somewhat good news.
The first offender and some of his accomplices fled before dawn and fled into the mountains that were inaccessible.
Chunyun worries that this is exactly this: between the vast wastelands that are being gradually developed in the southern counties, there are also many mountains and mountains, all of which are high and densely forested, and many of them are surrounded by clouds and mist on the mountainsides all year round, and it is difficult to see the true face of the mountain tops.
When the rebels are routed and the survivors flee deep into the mountains, it becomes extremely difficult to search for them.
In the event that the rebels start a guerrilla attack in the mountains, it will be even more difficult to exterminate.
And the southern counties of Xuanyan Continent are now the material production center of Xuanyan Continent in the Nine Shadows Country. In addition to grain and grass, there are also forging workshops such as minerals, which supply manufacturing industries from all over the country. Once the surviving rebels were reduced to pieces and harassed these places, the losses to the Nine Shadows would be immeasurable.
The ghost mother continued to look at the playbook, and the ghost captives told about the entire battle and losses. The army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom suffered no more than a few dozen casualties, while thousands of rebels were wiped out and dozens of people were captured.
It is said that after the trial of the prisoners, it was learned that there were still hundreds of rebel remnants at large, and that both the ghost captives and Shi Ben were planning to organize a siege in the mountains. Among the rebels who were captured and killed, there was no ghost who claimed to be Du Ziren's illegitimate son.
It's just that in the vast forest, encircling and suppressing hundreds of rebels is like looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea.
In the transcript, the ghost captives explicitly requested the Yuque Palace to send sergeants who were good at lurking and searching behind enemy lines to the south to form a task force to encircle and suppress the remnants of the rebels in the mountains and forests.
To put it bluntly, the ghost captives asked the Yuque Palace to send the troops who were training in the Yuque hunting ground to fight in the south and quickly exterminate the remnants of the rebels.
This large army in the Yuque Hunting Ground has always been the imaginary enemy of the armies of the Nine Shadow Army, and is responsible for finding the flaws and weaknesses of the various armies of the Nine Shadow Army in the quarterly and annual exercises.
And this army is also good at encirclement, hunting and sabotage behind enemy lines. Rescue and infiltrate, infiltrate and gather intelligence. They are under the unified command and training of Wu Xiaoshen, and they are the trump cards of Xiao Shizhu and the Nine Shadows Army.
It is also what Xiao Shizhu has always kept, and it will be used to deal with the killer weapon of the Northern Yin Dynasty in the future.
And if the rebels are broken into pieces in the mountains and forests and waiting for an opportunity to move, they should indeed use this army, which is also good at breaking up and infiltrating behind enemy lines, to exterminate them.
Moreover, Wu Xiaoshen's army has a strong individual combat ability, so there is no need to mobilize a large number of soldiers, and only a small number of sergeants need to be mobilized to solve a large number of enemies. What's more, the opponent is still a group of rabble who dare to rebel unprepared, and mobilizing the sergeants under the command of Wu Xiaoshen to go south to quell the rebellion is the best way.
It is also the most resource-saving method.
After reading the ghost mother's book, she raised her eyes and looked at the spring clouds in front of her.
She no longer intends to hold Lin Cong responsible, after all, it is very clear in the recital that first, the enemy suddenly launched a rebellion in a hurry, and second, even so, Xuanjiao was the first to discover the clues of the rebellion.
From this point of view, it cannot be said that Lin Cong is derelict in his duties.
But whether it is necessary to mobilize the army under the command of Wu Xiaoshen, the ghost mother also wants to listen to Chunyun's suggestion.
After looking at the ghost mother who burst into her eyes with an inquiring gaze, Chun Han pondered for a while, then nodded: "**, I think the ghost captive's suggestion is good." The army trained by Wu Xiaoshen is just right for encircling and suppressing these rebels who have fled to the deep mountains and forests. Even if the rebels try to break into pieces and wreak havoc in our rear, they will not succeed. In addition, the southern counties are also all soldiers, and they are soldiers in wartime and people in leisure time, so that the rebels have no way to attack all places. ”。
Chunyun can think of this method.
"And you should let Lord Lin Cong take a good look at where this illegitimate son of Du Ziren is? Why can a piece of jade pendant call on so many Du Ziren's past relatives and diehards to go with him in one day?" After a pause, Chunyun added.
Hearing this, the ghost mother nodded thoughtfully.
Yes, this guy who suddenly appeared from the illegitimate son of Du Ziren must also find out where he is sacred.
If the other party is an impostor, exposing it can make Du Ziren's entourage and die-hard loyalists in the past dare not act rashly in the future.
If the other party is not an impostor, as long as he can be arrested and then killed as an example, Du Ziren's former relatives will not dare to act arbitrarily.
Regardless of the outcome, it will be extremely beneficial to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
And this claims to be Du Ziren's illegitimate ghost, and there may be a mastermind behind it. If that's the case, as long as you can catch this ghost, you can find out who is behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, the ghost mother made up her mind and mobilized the army under Wu Xiaoshen's command to secretly go south.
Xiao Shizhu is not in the palace, so this order has to be written by the ghost mother.
So she got up and walked over to the recital.
After a while, the ghost mother, who was sitting behind the bookcase for a while, slowly put down the pen, and after carefully checking that there was no one on the order and there were no problems, she printed her own big seal after signing.
"Teach Wu Xiaoshen to come up with a plan at noon, and in the afternoon, he will transfer a team of soldiers and horses to secretly go south, don't alarm the officials from all over the country. Immediately after, the ghost mother taught the order to follow, standing in front of the jade case.
Then, the ghost mother turned her head again and said to Chen Ruo on the side: "Go and pass Lin Cong, I have something for him to do." ”。
"No. Chunyun and Chenruo responded in unison, and after bowing to the ghost mother together, they retreated.
The dark clouds in the sky outside the palace dispersed with the wind, and the rain never fell.
The light curtain that had fallen from the mouth of the sinkhole lit up again......
Tiantong City, Chenghuang Yamen.
Today's yamen is particularly lively, and the front yard of the main hall is crowded with ghosts, all looking forward to the main hall ahead.
In the past, the curator's son was always protected by the curator, and he had become a little overlord in Tiantong City, and ordinary ghost people generally didn't dare to provoke him at will.
Besides, no matter how much he messes around, he won't make trouble, under the protection of officials and officials, the city god of Tiantong City, who is familiar with the director of his father's school, is also blind to it, so the ghost people in Tiantong City who have suffered his losses are all able to endure it.
I never thought that today a ghost would break the hand of the curator's son and send him to Chenghuang.
As soon as the news spread, the ghost people of Tiantong City rushed over curiously, crowding to see what Xiao Shizhu, who sent the curator's son, looked like?
Although there are many good deeds, there is no ghost who dares to stand up and accuse the curator's son. Including the ghost people in the alley who were agitated and followed Xiao Shizhu to testify, now they have also retreated to the ghosts and dare not go to the lobby.
Only the little female ghost who was bullied, the ghost courage followed Xiao Shizhu to the lobby.
After Xiao Shizhu brought the curator's son and the curator, Chenghuang ascended to the church.
And the local city god is a sneer, and he is also a demon soul surnamed Tanuki, whose name is Tianyun. Counting it, he and Tanuki Tianying are still a little related, and they can be regarded as the same lineage.
But because his official position is too small, he has never seen Xiao Shizhu at all. Therefore, even if the Nine Shadows King was standing in front of him now, Tanuki Tianyun did not recognize Xiao Shizhu as his own king.
And Xiao Shizhu's identity is also fake. He claimed to be surnamed Su in front of the city god of Tanuki Tianyun, a scholar from Yuque City.
Judging from the clothes and swords on Xiao Shizhu's body, Tanuki Tianyun guessed that the other party might not be a scholar, but a rich son, but he didn't put Xiao Shizhu in his eyes at all, and naturally had no respect for Xiao Shizhu.
He sat behind the high case, and after letting the complaint and the defendant below reveal their identities, after listening to Xiao Shizhu explain in detail about the bad deeds of the curator's son, he asked the female ghost next to Xiao Shizhu disapprovingly, and asked casually: "Is what he said the truth?"
When asking, the raccoon Tianyun's singing Chenghuang closed his eyes slightly, leaning on the back of the chair. After the words were spoken, he let out a long yawn.
Seeing that Chenghuang looked lazy, and his mind was not on this matter at all, Xiao Shizhu was a little annoyed.
Looking at the side again, the triumphant appearance of the curator and his son was even more angry.
But he still endured it and did not get angry, and continued to work according to the process of the yamen hearing the case.
The little female ghost nodded very affirmatively, and replied without hesitation or hesitation: "What Lord Hui Chenghuang said is true. Not only that, but in the past, the curator's son often bullied us poor students in the school, often beating and scolding us, just to vent his anger or have fun. ”。
The words are sonorous and powerful, and they are loud and powerful.
After she finished speaking, Chenghuang yawned again, and said disapprerovingly: "Children who fight among themselves will also make trouble in Chenghuang, don't you think that the yamen has too many things?"
Speaking of this, Tanuki Tianyun turned his head and glared at Xiao Shizhu, who was not afraid of him and was still holding his head high.
"Fighting?" Xiao Shizhu, who squinted slightly, flashed a cold light in his eyes, pulled up the female ghost's right arm, rolled up the other party's sleeve in front of the city god, and presented the old and new scars and mottled bruises on the female ghost's arm in front of the city god, and asked the city god of Tanuki Tianyun: "Have you ever seen such a fight? Have you ever seen such a heavy and ruthless fight?"
Xiao Shizhu's face turned blue in an instant, and he felt a little palpitating when he saw that Chenghuang Tanyun Tianyun.
But Xiao Shizhu was really angry, he didn't expect that the city god under his rule would actually try the case like this.
Immediately afterwards, the scene that made Xiao Shizhu even more angry happened again.
"Of course it's a fight. Just when Chenghuang was speechless when he was asked, the judge next to Chenghuang, the judge who was so thin and small that the official robe looked very big on his body, opened his mouth and said disapprovingly: "Isn't it normal to have some bumps and bumps in the fight?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shizhu was angry in his heart, and after putting down the female ghost's arm, he clenched his fists hard.
Furious, he stared at Chenghuang and the judge with his angry eyes, and asked word by word: "Is this how you tried the case? Seeing that the evidence is conclusive, can you come up with a reason for the nonsense, and casually take the ghost people who complained about it away?"
This kind of trial is very deceptive, and it also opened Xiao Shizhu's eyes.
The curator and the curator's son on the side sneered together, and a look of disdain and indifference appeared on their faces.
They already knew that as long as they didn't get excited, Chenghuang would look at the acquaintances and acquaintances, and come to protect each other, and in the end, it would be over.
But Xiao Shizhu twisted the curator's son's wrist, but he couldn't count it so easily.
"It's not a bump, it's a beating. And it was a beating for no reason, beating him just for fun and anger. Xiao Shizhu, who clenched his fists, glared at the city god and asked, "What is the crime?"
After a pause, and without waiting for the opposite city god to answer, Xiao Shizhu preemptively said: "According to the law of public security in the law of the Nine Shades, injuring and injuring other ghosts for no reason is judged to be a judgment of making trouble and endangering public security. Depending on the severity of the circumstances, the culprit who intentionally harmed his ghost was sentenced to three months to 10 years of reformation labor. The culprit will be handcuffed and shackled, and escorted to various places in the country that need to be built, and contribute to the construction of our country without compensation. Judging from the fact that the female ghost was beaten and entertained by the curator's son for a long time, the curator's son should be sentenced to at least one year in prison. During this year, he must contribute to the construction of the Nine Shadows Kingdom under the supervision of the ghost, and there is no remuneration. ”。
His words made the city god and the judge on the opposite side stunned, and also made the curator and the curator's son on the side tremble when they heard it.
As everyone knows, the Nine Shadows Law was formulated and revised by Xiao Shizhu and the ministers and representatives of the ghost people. What should be judged the most, he Xiao Shizhu can naturally say it accurately.
"The curator is also guilty of harboring his son's murder. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu said sonorously.
