"Your Excellency, you may not go to the Public Trial. But look at you, the yamen, and there is no soldier to protect it. In case of a mob disturbance, those of us who are soldiers will not fly, and we will certainly not be able to come and protect you in time. My family said that there is likely to be a riot in Jinan City in a while. If you hurt an adult, don't blame the lower official for not saying hello in advance. Chen Dewang stood in front of Chen Hongshou.

He was ordered by Li Xiao to invite Chen Hongshou to hold a public trial meeting, after all, he was the judicial head of a province. Without his participation in the public trial, the legitimacy of the public trial was greatly reduced. However, judging from Chen's tone, the way he hires people is more focused on threats.

Chen Hongshou beat a spirit, and the people rioted. Even if you beat yourself to death, absolutely no one will avenge you. If one law does not hold the people accountable, it can shut everyone's mouths. You can't cut down all the people in Jinan City, and give you Chen Hongshou to pay for your life.

"What a Li Xiao, ruthless enough! The officer will go with you. Chen Hongshou also figured it out, and followed Chen Dewang, with the protection of Li Xiao's soldiers, there was still a way to live. If you stay in this Yamen, it will definitely be a dead end. I guess it would be nice to keep a whole corpse!

"Xiaguan will open the way for your lordship." Chen Dewang smiled, raised his feet and walked out.

When the sun moved to the sky, Chen Hongshou rushed to the scene of the public trial. Rao was mentally prepared, and he was also a little dazed by the crowding scene. If these people are really agitated to make a fuss, one person can drown in a mouthful of spit, this sentence is definitely not a lie.

"Now that the master has arrived, let's start the trial. Bring someone to commit it! Li Xiao glanced at Chen Hongshou and immediately announced the start of the public trial.

The nun of Myoxiang Nunnery, the monk of Hulu Temple. and the bitter lord Cao Wang's clan were all brought to the high platform!

"Wronged! Ask the lord to call the shots! "When Cao Wang ascended the high platform, it was a mournful roar.

With this tenor voice, the hundreds of thousands of people below immediately became silent. Everyone listened intently to what this public trial was going to say. There were a few women who were chirping and talking, and in addition to being stared at, they were also slapped a few times by their own men. was about to fight back, but when he saw the angry eyes of the people around him, he hurriedly closed his mouth and said nothing.

"If you have any grievances, Master Chen and I are here to call the shots for you." Li Xiao asked in a deep voice.

"The folk girl sued the monks and nuns of the Miaoxiang Nunnery and the Hulu Temple for harming my man. The second sued the officials of Jinan Mansion to cover up the real culprit and bend the law. Three sue system Tai Chen adults, using the power in his hands ** people's daughter. ”

As soon as these three were finished, the crowd seemed to suddenly drop 10,000 flies. Explode all at once!

The first two items were still expected and did not cause much repercussions. But this third article became explosive news, and the headlines in Jinan City were born immediately.

For example, a woman in prison cannot keep her chastity, which everyone knows. But this is an unspoken rule, and the women will not take the initiative to say it, so naturally the people will not raise officials and not be held accountable. But now it is spread out in the sun, and it is still the master of the Taiwan production who personally handles it, which is a bit appalling.

"Oh! The first sue is put aside for the time being, and you say these two or three sues. Did you know that the Israeli high-ranking officials were guilty first? If you are framed, do you know the consequences? Li Xiao asked in shock.

"The people's girls are out of the way, as long as the eldest master is willing to call the shots for the people's daughters. Even if the folk girl dies, she can close her eyes. ”

"Good! You said that the master of the Taiwan production ** you, but there is ...... evidence! ”

"Wronged! Your Excellency, you call the shots! Before Cao Wang could speak, a woman's heart-rending cry suddenly sounded in the lively crowd below.

"Whoever is making a noise, bring it up!" Li Xiao's eyes lit up, which meant that there was an unexpected gain.

"No!" Someone promised to go down, and soon an old woman was brought up.

"Your Excellency! My family died unjustly! It is this high-flying master of the platform, and the Xiaoyao Building he opened is a murderous demon cave. Less than ten days after he bought my family's maid, she died in the Xiaoyao Building. The old woman asked someone to inquire, and heard that every time this master went to Xiaoyao Lou to have fun, he had to be accompanied by the daughter of a white family. But after accompanying the eldest master, he died quietly.

I beg you to avenge the old woman! I beg my lord to avenge my family's dead girl! The old woman's gray-haired head slammed against the table.

"Buzz!" It's fried again, and it's another piece of hot news. I heard that Xiaoyao Building is the first floor of Jinan Huanchang, but I didn't expect that there was such a thing in it.

"Oh! There is also such a case, old man, please start it. Your wronged official must be managed, and you will rest in the background for the time being. Today is the trial of Cao Wang's case, and your grievance official will give you an explanation. ”

For this windfall, Li Xiao was so happy that his snot was bubbling. gave Chen Dewang a look, and this guy pulled Nie Dahai away. It is estimated that after a while, the famous Xiaoyao Tower will be copied.

The old woman was pulled down, and the people below kept shouting grievances. As a result, Li Xiao had no choice but to interrupt the trial and send someone to pull aside all the people who shouted grievances, and register for a trial at a later date.

Chen Hongshou's face on the stage became paler and paler, but he still held himself patient.

He is a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, and according to the regulations of the imperial court, Li Xiao cannot kill him. He needs to be escorted to the capital and handed over to the Yamen for interrogation before he can be reported to His Majesty the Emperor for disposal. Coming to Zongdao is now the first assistant, as long as he arrives in the capital, there is nothing serious, and it is impossible to recover in a few years.

"The master of the Taiwan production is really calm, and I admire it! Admire! ”

On one side is Cao Wang's tearful accusation, and on the other side is Chen Hongshou sitting like a wood carving clay sculpture. Li Xiao really admired the determination of this bastard. It's all on this juncture, and you can still keep your face unchanged and your heart beating.

"Humph! It's just a false accusation! Chen Hongshou didn't care about the contempt on his face.

"But Cao Wang said, you have a hemorrhoid on your little belly, how do you explain this? Also false accusations? However, the adult is so calm, thinking that this Cao Wang clan is also falsely accused. But let's clarify, it's better to have a wide coat, Lord Chen, how about proving your innocence? Li Xiao looked at Chen Hongshou with a smile, with a sinister face.

"The old man is a dignified court official from the fourth grade, how can he be naked and let others watch because of the words of a mere sinner? You are insulting and insulting. Chen Hongshou finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and roared.

"Pull it down!" Li Xiao finally didn't engage in the inappropriate part of the high platform, after all, there are many underage girls under this prince, and he picked up this guy's pants in public, and the impact is really bad.

"Li Xiao, you are insulting to the official body, Li Xiao ......!" Chen Hongshou struggled desperately.

"Hey, hey! Master Chen, now I give you two choices. One is that you take it off yourself in the background, and the other is that I let people test you in front of so many people, and you choose it yourself. Ao Canghai came over and said sadly. Chen Hongshou immediately stopped making trouble, he knew that Ao Canghai was a rough man, and since he said it, he dared to do so.

As soon as the results came out here, Nie Dahai came back over there. The entire Xiaoyao Building was confiscated, and none of the people inside were taken to the governor's yamen. And Xiaoyao Tower was also guarded by soldiers from two companies, and no one was allowed to enter.

Li Xiao was also unambiguous, after having the original dossier of Jinan Mansion read out. It was immediately announced that the nuns of Myoka Nunnery would be imprisoned. As for the monks of the Hulu Temple, they took advantage of this high platform. Please behead the public immediately with the king's flag!

The soldier who started the attack specially chose the back of the head to stab, and the bald heads fell to the ground, and the blood spurted out more than two meters high. It looks like he's very angry.

Every time a head is cut off, a landslide-like cheer erupts below. Many girls were so frightened that they covered their eyes, but the gap between their fingers was very large.

It was noisy until the sun set in the west, and this public trial conference with a large number of participants could be regarded as the curtain falling with more than a dozen bald heads.

"Hey, hey! Today's thing is done happily, Chen Hongshou, the old dog, is the most arrogant on weekdays, look at how arrogant he is now. ”

Li Xiao couldn't do anything to Chen Hongshou, but only temporarily imprisoned him, and at the same time wrote to the emperor to ask the emperor for the latest instructions.

"Why don't you kill those nuns?" Ao Canghai didn't understand why the monk didn't kill the nun.

"Those nuns can't be killed! Tonight's overnight interrogation requires a signed confession. Since they have so much energy, they must involve a lot of things and many people, and pull out the people behind them to ......! ”

"Huh! You kid can be regarded as self-taught, and the tail of Shandong officials will be held in your hands in the future. For the sake of this black gauze hat on their heads, they will never dare to disobey your will again. Clever boy! Sun Chengzong nodded, and the chicken cake was fragrant when eaten with rice. Then there's a ginseng pigeon stew, and that's the best dinner.

"My lord! Lord Wu of the clan and Master Masamu of the school asked to see him. Chen Dewang came in and told Li Xiao.

"Look! Before anything could happen, people came. Let them in! ”

"Slow!" Sun Chengzong stopped Chen Dewang: "Dry them first, don't see them tonight." See you tomorrow, they scratch their hearts this night, and you see them tomorrow morning. Guaranteed to be tortured for the night, they bow down! ”

Li Xiao nodded, and Chen Dewang immediately turned around and went out. When it comes to grasping people's hearts, he is not the opponent of Sun Chengzong, who has been mixed up all his life.

Wu Changshi and Ma Shiqi heard that Li Xiao was going to be interrogated overnight, and the news that they were not seen was simply a bolt from the blue. But Li Xiao didn't see it, and they didn't dare to break in. In fact, even if you break in, you can't break in. There are soldiers with firearms guarding the door at the door of the house, and they have nothing but a few family members.

After waiting for a night, the two of them scratched their hearts and livers, and they wanted to turn into a bird and fly to the governor's yamen. On weekdays, he walked tightly with Chen Hongshou, and Xiaoyao Lou did not go less. Even if there is no such thing as Xiaoyao Building, there are other things. Although there are people in the court to protect it, it is too embarrassing for this matter to get out. Even if he survived, he would definitely spend a lot of money.

Everyone is mixed in the officialdom, and they have worked hard and conscientiously to embezzle this money, and now they have to spend a lot of money, how can they not feel distressed.

Sure enough, as Sun Chengzong expected, early the next morning, the sun had not yet risen. The two ran to the door of the governor's yamen and waited for the governor's lord to receive them.

In the spring, Jinan was warm and cold, and the two of them were so cold that they didn't dare to leave. At a young age, it is really a shame to mix up this virtue. But everything is unimportant compared to the official hat. As long as you can continue to be an official and make a fortune, does anyone care about the face, have you seen a few officials with a face?

Li Xiao had a breakfast under the service of Tokugawa Chihime, and then listened to the report of Nie Dahai, who was interrogated overnight. Only then did I remember that in the morning, Chen Dewang said that there were two other members of the fourth grade at the door.

"See Lord Governor." It may be that it is too cold outside, and when they enter the warm room, the faces of the two people immediately turn red.

"The two adults have been waiting for a long time, and last night they interrogated those nuns in Myoka Nunnery. The official was also just empty, and he didn't even eat breakfast. Li Xiao picked his teeth and burped at an inopportune time.

"The governor has worked hard, and if there are officials and other officials who can serve, they will definitely go all out." Now Li Xiao is saying that the eggs are picked from the tree, and Wu Changshi and Ma Shiqi can only pinch their noses and admit it. Who let the little tail be caught in the hand.

"Lord Fandai, Master Shosa. The two of you are feeling, the official knows. But last night, the official tried these female nuns, and it seems that they were also involved with the two adults. I was about to look for the two adults, but you two came. ”

"False accusation! It must be a false accusation! Don't believe it, Lord Governor, the two of us have always been loyal to Banzai and the court. For you, my lord, my heart is also the same, and I would like to ask the governor to be clear. Wu Changshi and Ma Shiqi hurriedly expressed their loyalty, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice their wives for the sake of the black yarn hat.

"False accusations? Well, even those female nuns bite the two. But the day before yesterday, the two came to inspect the yamen, but the things mentioned were quite tricky......! ”

"Uh......! Although there was no silver in the treasury, the two generals, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde, had already cleared out the bandits for hundreds of miles around Jinan. Last year's taxes should be put into the treasury in a few days. As soon as the treasury silver arrives, the official will immediately allocate money to repair the Chunfu examination room, and will definitely not let the Chunfu students have no examination room. Wu Changshi immediately expressed his attitude to give money.

"The official will also impeach the students and prevent them from making trouble during the provincial capital."

Wu Changshi and Ma Shiqi hurriedly solved the difficulties they raised.

"It's easy to talk about the students, after all, they are all readers, and they are easy to deal with. It's just that last year there was chaos in Shandong, and taxes in many places were not paid. I don't know Lord Wu, what do you say? "If you want to do something, you can't do it without money. Of course, the first thing Li Xiao did was to grasp financial power. You can't do things for the people of Shandong, you have to pay your own wallet.

This is not a matter of two pennies, but it can easily cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of taels, even if you have money, you can't afford it.

"My lord, please rest assured, last year's tax officials will be deported into the treasury before Qingming."

"This governor is a soldier, but the army has no jokes."

"Xiaguan promises!"
