Chapter 458: The first day of the public trial ends

Yanjing City, which was already very lively, was completely boiling this time.

Things like Uncle Seven and Xiao Lei don't happen too much.

Yanjing City, which was already very lively, was completely boiling now.

"What? Really cut down several big corrupt officials? ”

"I thought this time, as before, it would be a formality, so I didn't go, which is a pity."

"It's not too late to go, maybe we can catch up."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up!"

Outside the yamen of the Criminal Department, along with the little minions in the six departments, all of them were cut off by Zhu Han.

But as the interrogators got higher and higher, the problems grew.

And many people, there are still a lot of old eucalyptus, and those eucalyptus want to be tried, but they can't be solved in a short time.

Zhu Han didn't want to waste his time on this kind of thing.

His eyes rolled, and he quickly had an idea.

Directly beckoned, let his guards come over, and whispered.

In the yamen of the Criminal Department, Liu Song and Xu Da were still watching the excitement.

A Zhu Han's guard suddenly walked in quietly.

first bowed to the two of them, and finally said respectfully: "Lord Liu, the prince commands, please go and interrogate those officials who have not yet been arraigned."

"After the interrogation is completed, hand over the corresponding documents to the prince, and the prince will interrogate him personally."

After a pause, the guard added: "The prince also said that the time is tight and the task is heavy, and I also ask Lord Liu to interrogate the eucalyptus as soon as possible."

"Moreover, all the evidence must be conclusive, and not a bad person can be spared, nor can a good person be wronged."

The expression on Xu Da's face was very exciting, this guy Qiwu is still the same as before, he will catch a person and go to death.

He was in charge of the final sentence in front and accepted the reverence and worship of the common people.

Liu Song could only force hard work behind the scenes.

After the trial, the benefits are not much for him.

If the problem is judged, he will have to carry this black cauldron.

"Lord Liu......" Xu Da patted Liu Song's shoulder sympathetically: "You...... Ask for more blessings. ”

Although he sympathizes with Liu Song, for Xu Da, Zhu Han is closer to him.

Therefore, Xu Da will not make it difficult for Zhu Han to help Liu Song.

Originally, Xu Da thought that after hearing the news, Liu Song would be very angry, or the atmosphere.

After all, Zhu Han threw all the dirty work on him.

To Xu Da's surprise, Liu Song's face did not have the slightest look of resentment.

Instead, he stood up with a blank face: "Weichen takes the order!"

Not only was there no anger, Xu Da even felt that Liu Song seemed to be a little eager to try.

After Liu Song left, Xu Da couldn't help laughing and said, "This Lord Liu Song and Liu are really a fool."

Although he said so, Xu Da's eyes were full of appreciation for Liu Song.

Liu Song's actions were fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had already begun to interrogate.

can be selected by Zhu Han, Liu Song is certainly not the kind of person who has no other advantages except for being upright.

This guy can be a secretary of the ministry, relying on his own ability.

is not the so-called Zhengchen who is grandiose in later generations, but a truly capable person.

There are many cases, Liu Song doesn't even need too much physical evidence, and he doesn't use torture, just relying on reasoning, he makes those criminals bow down and confess.

Zhu Han had only interrogated a few people here, and Liu Song had already sent a file with a file.

He rolled his eyes boredly, but Zhu Han almost screamed in shock.

"Damn, that's okay?"

Although Zhu Han knew that Liu Song was very capable, he didn't expect him to be so powerful.

The officials who were interrogated by Liu Song in this file felt that they couldn't wait to tell Liu Song clearly what color their underwear was.

The crimes he committed over the years, even if he embezzled a tael of silver, are clearly shown in the file.

They can confess to these minor crimes, and Zhu Han doesn't think it's strange.

But many crimes, as long as you confess, are capital crimes.

In this case, they will even confess?

For a while, Zhu Han wanted to see how Liu Song interrogated the prisoner.

While Zhu Han was thinking, Li Yunxi's crisp voice sounded: "Lord Wang, this person embezzled two or sixty taels of silver."

Zhu Han bowed slightly: "Okay, then cut it directly."

That's right, in the Ming Dynasty, as long as an official embezzled sixty taels of silver, it was directly a death sentence.

Although in the later Ming Dynasty, this Ming law has long been in vain, and it is too strict.

But Zhu Han felt that the existence of this law was necessary.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was not persuaded to change this law.

These officials enjoy the most benefits of the Ming Dynasty, and it is natural for them to bear the same risks, right?

You can't let them be unscrupulous and corrupt like the Ming Dynasty in later generations, right?

Of course, governing the country cannot be just harsh.

While formulating this strict law, Zhu Han also asked his eldest brother to adjust the salaries of officials upwards.

And it will turn over the tax situation of the imperial court and make corresponding adjustments.

In the early Ming Dynasty, it was barely able to get by, but in the middle and late periods, if an official was not corrupt, he could not even survive.

"The prince asked the lower official to spare this time, and the lower official will never dare to do it again in the future." After hearing Zhu Han's verdict, the official wept and begged for mercy.

But his plea was only met with ridicule.

"With so much money embezzled and begging for mercy, these officials are simply shameless."

"When you embezzle, you should have thought that there would be this day."

"Long live the prince! Die, you corrupt officials. ”

In the midst of the people's abuse, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry, carrying the official who was desperately begging for mercy, strode away in the direction of the execution ground.

After dealing with so many corrupt officials in a row, the morale of the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army is also unprecedentedly high, and their backs seem to be straighter than usual.

After interrogating a few more eucalyptus, the commander of a black cavalry suddenly found Xu Da: "General...... I'm afraid that the brothers can't hold it anymore, and I ask the general to send more people as soon as possible. ”

Compared with other titles, Xu Da still hopes that his soldiers can call himself a general.

Seeing that the commander had a solemn face, and it didn't seem to be a joke, Xu Da was suddenly a little puzzled: "When I asked you to fight before, I didn't see you shouting bitterly and being tired."

"Now just let you maintain law and order, don't let those people mess up, you can't hold on?"

When the commander of the Black Cavalry heard this, he said with a wry smile on his face: "Lord Wang, this is really not to blame the brothers, there are really too many people on the scene."

"General, this is what the prince ordered, and no one dares to be slacking off at all, brothers. It's just that no one expected that there would be so many people. ”

The commander of the Black Cavalry has raised the number of people twice in a row.

Xu Da also had to pay attention to it, and directly stood up and walked towards the outside of the prison of the Criminal Department: "I'm here to see how many people can make you so embarrassed."

"Bring me all the Black Cavalry, all of them. If it's not enough, aren't there still those Royal Forest Army, and those old men don't have anything to do, let them all maintain law and order. ”

Xu Da, who was originally very confident, couldn't help but widen his eyes after seeing the crowd of people on the street outside: "How can there be so many people?"

As far as the street can see, it is full of black heads. The originally spacious streets have been completely filled with people at this time.

And that's not all.

Xu Da could still clearly see that there were still many people who were converging towards the yamen of the Criminal Department.

"It's ...... Could it be that all the people of Yanjing City have to come to the Criminal Department, right? Xu Da muttered to himself.

The great feeling of facing these people is more terrible than facing an enemy who is ten times more numerous, or even a hundred times more numerous.

After all, no matter how ferocious the enemy is, it is only a matter of killing and being killed.

It's a big deal.

After so many years of fighting in the world, Xu Da and they have long been accustomed to life and death, and it is not a big deal.

But the situation in front of him still makes his scalp tingle.

There were enough people before, but now at a glance, I'm afraid it's not several times more than before.

"You, you, you!" Xu Da hurriedly called someone over: "Go immediately to the people of the Royal Forest Army, and ask them to come over immediately to assist us in maintaining law and order."

"In addition, transfer the new barracks of our Black Cavalry and let them work together."

"Listen to me, you must be 120,000 points in spirit, once something goes wrong, I will ask for you."

Xu Da's side hurriedly arranged the guard work, and did not forget to let people inform Zhu Han of the situation.

Zhu Han was a little eye-catching: "What's the situation?"

Although he launched this public trial conference, the purpose was to let the people of Yanjing City see it.

The previous turmoil more or less caused some losses to the credibility of the imperial court.

One of the purposes of Zhu Han's public trial conference was to restore the credibility of the imperial court.

At the same time, there is also a layer of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

In order to tell the officials over there.

You all be honest with this king, and when you come to Yanjing in the future, if you are still like these people, then you should be careful of your head.

Ordinary people of any era like to join in the fun.

It's just that Zhu Han never thought that he could attract so many people.

He really wanted to ask the people, are you really so idle?

But now, Zhu Han doesn't have any good solutions, he can only hope that Xu Da can hold on.

If this really makes a mess, everything he has done before will be wasted.

This public trial lasted from the rising sun to the scorching sun.

In the end, Jin Wuxi sank, and the jade rabbit rose eastward.

Zhu Han really didn't do much.

Maintaining law and order at the scene, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry.

It was Li Yunxi who checked the accounts, and it was Liu Song who really judged the eucalyptus.

His real prayer function is actually a mascot.

However, after sitting here all day, Zhu Han, who drank tea, felt that his pee was about to become tea.

The hard chair hurt his ass.

The bones on the top and bottom of the body seemed to fall apart.

Several times, Zhu Han couldn't help but want to directly announce the end of the public trial.

But looking at the expectant eyes of the people around him, Zhu Han couldn't say anything if he ended the public trial.

He can have it, why are the people so excited?

The people in this land are really bullied by these bureaucrats.

It is undeniable that among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, there is indeed Liu Song, who exists for the country and the people.

However, such people are only a minority after all.

Otherwise, Hai Jui would not have been so famous in later generations.

has been suppressed for a long time, and the people don't know how much they have accumulated, and they are resentful of these people.

In the past, they didn't dare to say anything.

Today, when they see that those corrupt officials who are powerful and corrupt are really being punished, their old resentment has completely exploded.

As long as they can see these people, they will be punished as they deserve, and they will do whatever they are asked to do.

All this in front of them is like a dream for these people, and they don't want this dream to wake up.

If it was something else, Zhu Han didn't care at all.

However, in the face of the ardent gaze of these people, Zhu Han did not have the slightest strength to resist.

"Okay, since you want to see it, then this king will accompany you to see the end."

Zhu Han suddenly shouted loudly: "Come on, hold the lamp!"

At the same time, he also sent someone to tell Xu Da to let the soldiers of the Black Cavalry rest and eat in batches, and prepare to fight all night.

In this regard, Xu Da just pouted disdainfully: "I still need this kid's orders, I am the chief general of the Black Cavalry, of course I will not let my soldiers do things on an empty stomach."

In this way, the trial lasted until the third watch, and the number of people outside the criminal department finally decreased visibly.

After all, there are no lights in this era, so many people are used to resting early.

They can endure other things, but this sleepiness is not so easy to endure.

What's more, they also realized that the imperial court was really serious this time.

Whether they look at it or not, those corrupt officials will definitely not escape justice.

Therefore, the eagerness to see those corrupt officials punished gradually became overwhelming.

Knowing that at this time, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry finally had a chance to rest.

Many of the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army, who were strictly disciplined, even lay directly on the ground.

In this regard, those officers did not use the past as in the past, just a whip and then drive them up.

After all, not only those ordinary soldiers, but even the officers who collapsed the house were so tired that they couldn't wait to fall asleep.

Seeing that there were really not many people outside the Criminal Department, Zhu Han raised his astonishment: "Retreat!"

After that, he sat there for half a day without moving.

Zhu Handi's guards and several black cavalry soldiers looked at each other.

I don't know what my prince is going to do.

"What are you doing standing stupidly, don't hurry up and help this king up!"

It turned out that I had been sitting for too long, and my body was already stiff and inconvenient to move.
