Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 250 Ten Thousand People in the Same Book
The group of armor soldiers were dressed in red armor, and the word "god" was engraved on their chests in a seal script.
"It's Shenwuwei!" Song Qingqing was the first to react, she stood up, stared at the group of armor soldiers with a nervous expression, and one hand subconsciously held the sword at her waist.
Shenwuwei is the personal soldier under the martial king Qin Huan, and under the great summer when the martial king covers the sky with one hand, the status of Shenwuwei is transcendent, and he can almost be on an equal footing with the superintendent of the heavenly division.
Their appearance can make most people in this world feel like they are facing great enemies.
When everyone around heard this, they all became nervous, and they all stood up and looked at the group of uninvited guests in front of them with undisguised hostility.
But Chu Qingxiao stretched out his hand to stop everyone, slowly stepped forward under the worried eyes of everyone, and said to the leader of the armor: "Down there is Chu Qingxiao, may I ask what you are doing?" ”
The armor soldier led by him was in his early forties, with a beard and a rough appearance, if it weren't for this armor on his body, he would look more like an honest farmer, but the murderous aura that permeated his whole body made Chu Qingxiao understand that the man in front of him had experienced a real bloody storm, otherwise it would be impossible to condense such an aura.
"You are Chu Qingxiao?" Hearing this, he looked Chu Qingxiao up and down with a little surprise, with a little curiosity.
Chu Qingxiao was silent, just looked at each other.
The beard couldn't see it, and said angrily: "Damn, can you be so tender at the age of thirty?" Just this deception is also worthy of the trial of the seven churches? I look at the old antiques in the sky, it's time for the to cure the eyes. ”
When this group of divine guards appeared in front of Chu Qingxiao, Chu Qingxiao's heart had some expectations for their intentions, and the words of the beard undoubtedly confirmed Chu Qingxiao's conjecture.
"Dare to ask, but the envoys of the Seven Churches have arrived." Chu Qingxiao asked.
Hearing this, the beard raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Do you know that you are going to be tried by the Seven Churches? Still staying here honestly, not wanting to run away? I'm really not afraid of death! ”
"My Great Xia law is fair, and the seven halls of the trial are all adults who enforce the law impartially in various departments, and I believe that your lords will give me a clean and fair life, such an opportunity, I can't ask for it, how can I escape?" Chu Qingxiao replied calmly.
"Hey, that's a nice thing to say, I can't say such beautiful things." He laughed nonsense, but the next moment his face froze, and he said angrily: "Thief! At this time, dare to talk flatteringly! ”
"It's really hard to be a three-year-old child! Someone will take it for me! Escorted to the Sword Hall for trial! ”
As soon as he said this, several armor soldiers behind him came up in response, and they were about to take down Chu Qingxiao.
As soon as this scene came out, Chu Zhaozhao, Song Qingqing and others suddenly changed their faces, and they also wanted to step forward to protect the lord Chu Qingxiao.
But Chu Qingxiao understands that the power of the Martial King in this Great Xia is huge, no matter whether it is right or wrong, as long as he moves with Shenwu Wei, then there will be evidence of guilt on their heads.
He hurriedly turned his head and glared at everyone, blocking their actions, and then looked at the armor soldiers who walked around him and said: "There is only a grass people below, and the general wants to take me, so naturally I don't dare to resist, but the law of Great Xia is still there, and I dare to ask, what is the crime?" ”
"I am ordered by Your Majesty and King Wu to accept the trial of the Seven Halls in the Heavenly Hanging Mountain Sword Hall, isn't this enough?" The beard asked rhetorically.
At this time, several armor soldiers also stepped forward in response, clasped Chu Qingxiao's hands behind him, Chu Qingxiao's body couldn't help but bend down, this discomfort made Chu Qingxiao's brows frown, he looked up at the beard and said: "The seven halls of trial is to find out whether I am guilty or not, whether I am lying, the trial has not yet begun, and everything has not yet been decided." ”
"Although I don't know much about the laws of Great Xia, I also understand the truth that there is no doubt about sin."
"The general came to put me on trial, I should naturally cooperate, but I am not guilty, the general first smashed the door of my courtyard, and now he is so humiliated, I dare not offend the general, but please remember that if you are not guilty in the end, the general will have to compensate me for this courtyard and apologize to me for my current actions."
Chu Qingxiao's words were neither humble nor arrogant, even if he had a beard, he couldn't help but be stunned.
However, he quickly came back to his senses, and said with a sneer: "Boy, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, I'll follow your words, if you can get out of the seven-hall trial alive, don't say apologize to you, just let me call you grandpa, and Lao Tzu won't blink!" ”
After saying that, the bearded beard waved his big hand, looked at the surrounding armor soldiers and shouted, "Go!" ”
When those armor soldiers heard this, they escorted Chu Qingxiao out of the courtyard gate.
Seeing this, Chu Zhaozhao and the others all showed worry on their faces, and they stepped forward to follow.
……
Zhong Yuan, as the commander of the Chishui Battalion of the Shenwu Guard, was very resentful of this errand on this trip to Tianhang Mountain.
A month ago, he finally survived the one-year garrison period in the Western Regions, and wanted to go home to see his seven-year-old son and his daughter-in-law, who had not been close to him a few times since he got married.
But as soon as he arrived in the royal capital, the post of debriefing was handed over, and the staff of the Wuwang Mansion handed over the new task to Zhong Yuan's hands - escorting the young masters of several palaces to Tianhang Mountain to interrogate a guy named Chu Qingxiao.
Tianhang Mountain is far away from the royal capital, and it will take more than a month to come and go as fast as possible, which has to be done when there is no difference in the middle, and his vacation is only two months, leaving aside the time to rush to the Western Regions to go back and forth, there is not much time left.
Zhong Yuan was naturally a little dissatisfied with Chu Qingxiao, who ruined his vacation, and after hearing about the identity of the other party, this dissatisfaction reached the extreme.
This guy dared to pretend to be Chu Qingxiao!
Of course, it is not because the name Chu Qingxiao has been particularly famous here, but because from the information, Zhong Yuan knows that Chu Qingxiao and Zhao Nianshuang are childhood sweethearts, and there are even rumors that the two have set up a baby kiss!
But Zhao Nianshuang is a recognized princess of the Martial King within the Shenwu Army, a hairy boy who came out of nowhere, and dared to rob the wife of the Martial King in their hearts, which made there even a number of voices in the Shenwu Army that wanted to break this Chu Qingxiao's body into pieces.
As the executor of this mission, Zhong Yuan naturally would not give Chu Qingxiao a good look.
It's just that when he asked his subordinates to escort Chu Qingxiao all the way through the streets of Tianhang City to the door of the Sword Hall, the scene in front of him made Zhong Yuan, who had seen some big scenes, stunned at that time......
At this moment, before the time passed, there were not many pedestrians on the streets of Tianhang City, but the door of the Sword Hall was full of people for some reason.
Zhong Yuan's gaze swept over everyone, but he saw that most of these people were wearing sackcloth, and there were even some people with patches on their bodies, obviously they were all the people at the bottom of Tianhang City.
And the group of people was obviously waiting for something, and the moment they appeared, everyone turned their eyes on them in unison.
"What? What are you doing here? Zhong Yuan immediately realized that something was wrong, and looked at these people angrily and asked.
He has been up and down on the battlefield for many years, and the murderous aura in his body is condensed like substance, and at this moment, he shouted violently, and he was even more violent, like King Kong's angry eyes.
The faces of the people also changed slightly, and their faces were jealous, but none of them retreated.
Chu Qingxiao also looked at the gathered people in front of him with a strange expression, not understanding their intentions.
And at this moment, a young man suddenly walked out of the crowd, and after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Chu Qingxiao and Chu Zhaozhao and others who followed Chu Qingxiao to this place all looked strange at this time.
The young man who walked out was not a bystander, it was Zhu Quan, who had come to look for Chu Qingxiao for more than ten days!
He bowed to Zhong Yuan and said, "Tell the general, we are all outer disciples of Tianhang City, I heard that Chu Gongzi is about to be escorted to the Seven Halls for trial, so I came to see him off, and by the way, I handed a book of 10,000 people to Chu Gongzi!" ”
As he spoke, Zhu Quan glanced behind him, and two men walked out, one holding a piece of paper in his hand, and the other holding a thick stack of booklets in both hands.
"Ten thousand books?" Zhong Yuan's eyebrows furrowed, his expression was strange, and he first reached out and took the paper from one of them and looked at it intently.
"After Gongzi Chu came to Tianhang City, he complained for the people of my mountain and water valley, avenged my father who died in vain, and also took action for Sun Li, an elderly disciple who was bullied by Liuhuan Peak."
"Some of us are the people of Shanshuigou, some are old friends of Sun Li's predecessors, and more of us are ordinary people who believe that Chu Gongzi is a human being, and I came here today not to interfere with the trial of the Seven Halls, but I just hope that you will follow the laws of Daxia and open the Hanging Mirror Hall with ten thousand books!"
As soon as these words fell, the people behind him also said loudly: "Please respect the Great Xia Law, and open the Hanging Mirror Hall with ten thousand books!" ”
Most of the laws of Bactria followed the laws of Zhou, and the previous dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty was known for its clear laws, one of which was that if the person being interrogated had a good name outside, in order to prevent being victimized by gangsters, he could ask 10,000 people to write the same book, asking the court to open the interrogation process, both in public, in order to prevent the falsification of confessions or the occurrence of torture.
And this is also called the Hanging Mirror Hall.
It's just that even if you count the Great Zhou of the previous dynasty, you can invite all the people to write the same book, and the number of people who open the Hanging Mirror Hall is not more than ten fingers.
Zhong Yuan probably never thought that in his opinion, he was just a clown jumping off the beam, and it was estimated that Chu Qingxiao, who would be exposed at the beginning of the Seven Halls trial, would have such great energy.
He looked at the handwriting in his hand, and asked to open the pleadings of the Hanging Mirror Hall, and his face was cloudy for a while.
"Nonsense! You're messing around! ”
But at this moment, a loud shout came from the Sword Holding Hall, and an old man in black stepped out angrily, pointing at the people around him and shouting and scolding: "Chu Qingxiao is a serious offender of the imperial court, as a disciple of Tianhang Mountain, you don't want to share the worries of the imperial court, but you helped this villain!" Are you trying to deceive your teachers and destroy your ancestors? ”
