By this time, the sound of horses' hooves was close at hand.

The crowd on the periphery was also busy moving out of the way to both sides.

The scarlet-robed official was even more anxious, pointing at the executioner and yelling, "What are you doing there?" Execute! ”

The executioner had no choice but to raise the ghost head knife high, but at the moment when the steel knife was about to fall, a sudden sound sounded on the execution ground.

Immediately, a four-edged arrow pierced the executioner's arm.

The executioner snorted, staggered back two steps, and the ghost-headed knife in his hand hung weakly to the ground.

"Who is so bold?" The scarlet-robed official said angrily, "How dare you disrupt the court? Is this an attempt to rebel? Left and right are not with the official to take down this thief! ”

"Lord Zuo is so powerful!" A cold snort sounded.

Immediately, an official who was also wearing a scarlet robe had already ridden to the prison beheading platform.

Although this is a civil official, he has a large bow in his hand, and there is a heavy arrow on the bowstring.

"Who are you?" Zuo Guang didn't recognize it at first.

That's right, Zuo Guangxian is one of the prison officials, and he is also the highest-level.

The scarlet-robed civil official strode onto the prison platform, and walked straight to Ying Tianfucheng's seat.

Ying Tianfu Cheng is also one of the three prison officials, and the other is Shi Langzhong, a Qing official of the Criminal Department.

Seeing the scarlet-robed civil official striding over, Ying Tianfu Cheng was instantly taken by this person's momentum, and subconsciously stood up and avoided to the side, and the scarlet-robed civil official was not polite, and sat down directly.

"Who is this official? It turned out to be Jin Langzhong. ”

At this time, Zuo Guangxian finally reacted, and it was Jin Xuan, the new Ying Tianfu Cheng and Admiral Caojiang Military Affairs, but he deliberately did not call Futai or Junmen, but only said Jin Langzhong.

The implication is naturally self-evident, and the officials who are simple and simple are first-class.

After all, it is not as honorable as officials like them who are elected by the court or the ministry, and they are justifiable.

But Ying Tianfucheng, who was also one of the prison officials, didn't dare to hold it up like this, so he still respectfully waved to Jin Xuan, and shouted respectfully to the palace.

On the other side, Lang Zhong of the criminal department ignored Kim Hyun.

Obviously, the prison officer sent by the Criminal Department was in the same camp as Zuo Guangxian.

Jin Xuan sat down with a golden sword, and snorted and said: "Lord Zuo is wrong, this official is now the Ming Yingtian Governor and Admiral Caojiang Military Affairs, and he is no longer the military selection division of the Ministry of War." ”

Zuo Guangxian smiled and said: "Jinfutai came just in time, you are also one of the prison officials, and together with this official and Meng Langzhong, you will supervise the two key criminals in the Tongkou case. ”

After speaking, Zuo Guangxian asked the sundial official again: "What time is it?" ”

The little sundial officer arched his hand and responded: "Lord Hui, it is exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Okay." Zuo Guang first drew a slash order from the lottery holder again, and was about to throw it under the stage.

"Slow!" said that it was too late, but Jin Xuan grabbed Zuo Guangxian's wrist and said coldly, "This mansion wants to ask Lord Zuo, where is the affidavit document for the execution of the prisoner and the approval of the Holy Lord?" ”

"The affidavit and Zhu approval are here." Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department on the side presented the paperwork.

Jin Xuan opened the document and glanced at it, then threw it to the side, and said, "This document is full of loopholes and is not enough. ”

"Presumptuous!" Zuo Guang took the case first, and said angrily, "Jin Xuan, don't think that you can do whatever you want by relying on the favor of the saints, the dignity of the Great Ming Law cannot be blasphemed!" ”

"Well said! The dignity of a good Ming law is not allowed to be blasphemed. Jin Xuan applauded and laughed, and then said with a straight face, "According to the law of Daming, the trial of the case needs to be tried in the first trial, the second trial, and then the third trial, and then the case can be concluded. ”

After saying this, Jin Xuan said sharply again: "This official, may I ask, what is the trial process?" Where is the knot in Dali Temple? What about the Holy Imperial Pen Finalizing Documents? ”

"This ......," Zuo Guangxian was speechless.

Jin Xuan shouted again and asked: "First, there is no trial process, second, there is no affidavit document of Dali Temple, and third, there is no royal pen of the saint, so you dare to hastily behead the saint and subordinate ministers, who gave you the courage?" Want to rebel? ”

Jin Xuan's rebuke was like the roar of a lion, which made Zuo Guangxian subconsciously take half a step back.

But Zuo Guangxian quickly reacted, stepped forward and shouted: "Hurry up with power, and use heavy codes in troubled times, like traitors like Ma Minglu and Zhan Yangzhi, who are traitors to the country, should be dealt with quickly and severely." ”

"The facts of this case are all irrefutable facts, and all the stolen goods have been obtained."

"It is a process that does not require the first instance, retrial and third trial, and the affidavit of Dali Temple can also be supplemented afterwards.

After a pause, Zuo Guangxian said sharply again: "It's Lord Jin who did everything possible to obstruct the execution of the two criminals, shouldn't it be involved in this case?" This official advises you to think about the consequences first. ”

"Lord Zuo, are you threatening this official?" Jin Xuan stared coldly at Zuo Guangxian, and his two bright and sharp eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing into Zuo Guangxian's eyes.

Zuo Guang was stared at so much that he didn't dare to look at it directly, and subconsciously avoided his gaze.

However, he said in a tough voice: "Jinfutai, I advise you to respect yourself!" ”

"Although this official does not dare to compare himself with Haigang Peak, he may not lose to him in terms of strengths." Jin Xuan's eyes showed a look of mockery, and he said, "Lord Zuo, you threatened the wrong person." ”

After speaking, Jin Xuan turned around and shouted: "Zheng Sen, take Deputy Director Ma and Zhan Yuan back to the Governor's Office!" ”

"Slow, I'll see who dares!" Zuo Guangxian was furious, and shouted at the officials who were maintaining order around the court, "Are you all dead? Don't hurry up and blast away the idle people! ”

None of the surrounding officials dared to step forward.

What are you kidding, Lord Zuo, are you asking us to go against the newly appointed Lord Futai?

Seeing that the official was standing and didn't dare to move, Zuo Guangxian said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, where is the Beijing camp?!" ”

There were two groups of people who maintained order at the scene, the inner circle was the messenger of the Ying Tianfu Ya, and the outer circle was the Beijing battalion soldiers.

The Jingying soldiers obviously had someone say hello, and Kim Hyun was not their manager, so he didn't have any scruples.

Zuo Guangxian gave an order, and hundreds of Beijing camp soldiers poured in, and they wanted to take down Jin Xuan and the dozen or so soldiers who accompanied him, and these Beijing camp soldiers were also bold.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Kim Xuan's eyes, and he shouted loudly: "The Governor's Office handles the case, and the idle people avoid it, and those who dare to gather people to make trouble will be killed!" ”

"Yes!" Zheng Sen suddenly agreed, then turned around and waved vigorously.

More Qinwang soldiers immediately swarmed in from the periphery, and in an instant, hundreds of bird guns were already aimed at the Beijing battalion soldiers, and the more than 100 Beijing battalion soldiers who had just rushed in were also frightened on the spot.

God, these are all soldiers in shirts, they are all Wenqu stars in the sky, how can they compete with these Beijing soldiers? Trying to kill them is like pinching an ant to death.

"Lord Zuo, don't say it's the Beijing camp soldiers today, it's useless for you to invite a few elders from the cabinet." Jin Xuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zuo Guangxian, "This official said that this case needs to be retried, and it must be retried." ”

Saying this, Jin Xuan shouted again: "Take Deputy Director Ma and Zhan Yuan out to respond to Tianfu." ”

"Take it away." Zheng Sen followed with a wave of his hand, and immediately four scholars stepped forward to pick up Ma Mingluo and Zhan Yangzhi.

One of the scholars said cautiously: "Master Ma, you have been wronged, but now it's okay." ”

Ma Mingluo nodded, he had something full of words to say to others, but he was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it for a while, but he felt warm in his heart.

However, at this moment, an unexpected scene suddenly appeared.

Just as Shizi walked off the stage with Ma Mingluo and Zhan Yangzhi in his arms, the people around him suddenly exploded.

Immediately, countless rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, chicken feces, dog feces, and even pebbles rained down on Ma Mingluo, Zhan Yangzhi, and the four Qinwang scholars who supported them.

At the same time, there was also a flood of invective.

"Dog official, he must have received black money from the Zhan family."

"You scholars, have your conscience allowed dogs to eat?"

"Do you know how many people in Jiangnan have been harmed by Dahai Kou Gu Sanmazi?"

"You are not a good person who helps the horse and dog officer, you must not die well!"

With the insults in the sky, the people gathered around became more and more agitated, and finally began to attack the human wall formed by the scholars, and even beat people.

Several of the soldiers were immediately beaten to the point that their heads were bleeding.

However, the scholars were still very overcome and did not fight back.

Seeing this, Kim Hyun's face had already collapsed.

Ma Mingluo shook his head again and again: "These poor worms, these poor worms." ”

Zuo Guangxian was proud, and said with a sneer: "Jin Xuan, this is called justice and freedom in the hearts of the people, your perverse actions are destined not to succeed, this official advises you not to go all the way to the dark." ”

After a pause, he said sharply: "Otherwise, if you provoke a civil uprising, you will die and will not be able to atone for your sins!" ”

Jin Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to Zuo Guangxian's noise, but just strode down the prison beheading platform, snatched a Lumi gun and a fire rope from a soldier, and then lit the fire rope and put a gun on the top of his head.

Accompanied by a dazzling red light, it was a loud "bang".

This sudden sound of the gun was released, and the surrounding noise was instantly suppressed.

The people who were attacking the Shizi wall couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, didn't they, the officers and soldiers really dared to let go?

Zuo Guangxian was even more angry and blew his beard and glared, and yelled: "Jin Xuan, do you know what you are doing?" Do you really want to provoke a mutiny? ”

Kim Hyun threw the bird back to the scholar.

He glanced back at Zuo Guangxian contemptuously.

Stirring up civil unrest? Just these people? It's not even close!

After a while, the people around them became agitated again, and they became more excited than before, and the impact on the human wall formed by the scholars became more violent.

Looking at this posture, if they really broke through the wall of scholars, Ma Mingluo and Zhan Yangzhi would probably be beaten to death by these people who lost their minds.

Once public opinion is instigated, there is really no reason to talk about it.

The ability to think intellectually and independently has always been a scarce quality.

Looking at the angry people, the smile on Zuo Guangxian's face became more and more proud.

This is Nanjing, this is Jiangnan, if you want to be an official in Nanzhili, the tiger has to lie down, the dragon has to be pan, and even the saint has to rule with our Donglin Party.

Otherwise, the government decree will not be able to leave the city of Nanjing.

Jin Xuan turned his head and looked at Zuo Guangxian coldly, and said, "Lord Zuo, do you think that if you control the council and coerce the public opinion, you can act recklessly and lawlessly?" Well? ”

Zuo Guangxian said: "What kind of control is the discussion and coercing public opinion?" I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Zuo Guangxian naturally won't admit it, but he sneered in his heart, you are right, our Donglin Party controls the Shilin Qingyi in Jiangnan and controls public opinion, and those who can really follow me prosper and those who oppose me die.

It's the saint, when you first arrived in Nanjing, didn't you have to follow the will of our Donglin Party?

The four elders of the first court push, aren't they all our Donglin Party members? None of the Jiuqing who went to the disaster could enter the cabinet.

For example, now, you Jin Xuan is already difficult to ride a tiger, if you can't control the current situation, not only Ma Mingluo and Zhan Yangzhi will be beaten to death, but you Jin Xuan will also be taken into account by the imperial history, and if you want to control the situation, I am afraid that it will not work if you don't kill a few people with an iron fist, and the official will not believe that you Jin Xuan really dares to kill.

This is Nanjing, and no one can afford the consequences of indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

Jin Xuan also sneered in his heart, others may have scruples, but Jin is fearless, Jin was born without knowing what to be afraid of? Hum!

Both of them were silent.

The surrounding people continued to storm the Shizi human wall.

A moment later, a faint sound of thunder suddenly sounded in the distance.

Soon, the thunder became louder and louder, and everyone felt the ground begin to tremble under their feet.

Finally, a common man found the black-pressed cavalry that had been killed from the direction of the Swallow Rock Pier.

"Cavalry, there are cavalry, the cavalry of the court has been killed!" One of the people yelled and turned and ran.

As if to verify the shouts of the people, the cavalry who rushed over in the distance also brushed out their swords, and the snow-bright blades reflected a dazzling cold light under the light of the hot sun.

When did the people who gathered to make trouble see such a battle, they immediately dispersed in a hurry.

When Kim Hyun looked back at Zuo Guangxian, he saw that the whole person was trembling, and he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened.

"Kim Hyun!" Zuo Guangxian pointed at Jin Xuan and said in a trembling voice, "You dare to mobilize cavalry to charge and kill the people, do you know what it means to do this?" ”

"Don't Lao Zuo, Lord Zuo reminds, this official knows very well."

Jin Xuan said coldly: "This official mobilized the cavalry just to expel the Diao people and maintain order in the law field. ”

"Where is the people, where is the people? This official only sees a disruptive and reckless official! Kim Hyun, you just wait for this constitution to join you. Zuo Guangxian immediately pointed to his sleeves and left.

met a stunned young man like Kim Hyun, and he was helpless.

It is impossible to change the result if you stay, so it is better to leave early.

I still hurried to find a few elders and Shangshu to discuss countermeasures.
