On the third day of the lunar month, the sky was overcast and the north wind was cold.

In the past, in a big winter day like this, people would not go out without going out, and even if they did, it was to make ends meet or to buy and shop for the upcoming New Year's Festival.

But today, Jinling City is particularly lively, no matter where you are in the city, there are people constantly gathering towards the center of the city, and finally gathered in front of the Tuiguan Yamen.

Because today is the day when Wang Yichuan's murder of a monk is being tried, for this hot incident that has been circulating and discussed in Jinling for several days, too many people want to know the final result at the first time, and it would be better if he could be allowed to be allowed to hear the trial.

In fact, this time, the official yamen really allowed some civilians to enter the yamen to observe, but the number was only 100. However, thousands of people have gradually gathered outside, and this alone can be seen how much attention has been paid to this case in Jinling City, which means that the outcome of the case will inevitably affect the views and even interests of all parties.

When the hundreds of lucky people were allowed to enter the yamen, the time had just passed, and more people were gathering towards the yamen from all directions, but the interrogation of the Wang family and his wife had already begun.

Sitting in the hall of the yamen, in addition to the chief judge Wu Tieyi, there were several generals in the army who were ordered to maintain order in the hall, as well as several monks of Jiming Temple led by Hongyun.

At this time, the faces of several monks were very unsightly, and the rumors about the women of the Xuanzhou *** good family that had been circulating outside in the past few days had long been known to them, which made them more and more uneasy, and they became more and more unconfident in the results of today's court trial.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor seems to have agreed to cover up for them, this raging public opinion is not easy to deal with. c

It wasn't until Wu Tieyi, who was sitting high, slapped the startling wood and cheered to start the trial, that everyone really paid attention to the present, and then saw Wang Yichuan and his wife, who were shackled, being brought to the hall together.

Both of them looked panicked and at a loss, and after being drunk for a while, they knelt down obediently, not even daring to raise their heads. Wu Tieyi asked several times before they reacted slightly and admitted their identities.

"This official asks you, do you have anything to argue about your Wang Yichuan's public assassination of Xuan Zhou, a monk of Jiming Temple?"

In the face of interrogation, Wang Yichuan's body shook slightly, and he still whispered: "The villain has nothing to say, that Yin monk was found in my house by me...... Naturally, I can't let him go! Although I can't compare to Wu Erlang who stands up to the sky, I won't be the Wu Dalang who is aggrieved and waiting to die!"

When these words were spoken, they immediately won the applause of the people who were listening outside the hall. Everyone has a simple view of right and wrong, and they are influenced by the stories that have been circulated before, so they are naturally more inclined to him as a murderer.

"In court, don't be presumptuous!" After Wu Tieyi admonished everyone outside the hall, he asked with a straight face: "But it is a fact that you killed someone, it violates the law of humanity, and this official wants to punish you for your crime today, can you be convinced?"

"Since I dare to kill him, I know that there is such an end, and I have no complaints!" Wang Yichuan let go at this time, raised his head and answered loudly.

This performance and speech made him even more responsible, he was a good man who stood up to the sky, and at the moment, there was a low cheer outside.

Immediately, someone in the crowd shouted, "My lord, Wang Yichuan killed people for a reason, and I hope the court will be lenient!"

"Silence! When will it be your turn to wait for the people to put their beaks?" Wu Tieyi rebuked disappreciatively, "If anyone dares to talk more, pull down and slap your mouth twenty!"

This suddenly made the outsiders wait for a chill, they are just ordinary people, how dare they really provoke the high-ranking court officials?

However, the Hongyun monk, who was sitting at the bottom of the hall, couldn't help but speak at this time: "Lord Wu, the poor monk thinks that this case is too bad and should be severely punished. Wang Yichuan killed the disciples of Buddhism on the street, it is really an unforgivable crime, even Ling Chi is not enough to offset the sins he committed!"

Several other monks also quickly followed up after saying Amitabha: "Lord Wu, this is true. Even if Xuan Zhou was at fault first, it was not something that he could kill indiscriminately by just a civilian, which was clearly a blasphemy against the Buddha and Buddhism.

"Such a ferocious person no

I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the people if they are sentenced to death!"

When he said this, several monks swept their eyes fiercely at the outsiders, causing these ordinary people to feel a sudden shock in their hearts, and they all lowered their heads.

Among these people, there are both Buddhist believers who have always been, and there are also people who don't respect the Buddha very much, but they all know one thing, Jiming Temple and Buddhism are a huge force in Jinling and Jiangnan, and they are not something that a small person like them can provoke at all.

You can't bring trouble to your family because of a momentary pleasure.

Wu Tieyi's face suddenly turned embarrassed: "A few masters, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, right? What's more, doesn't Buddhism pay attention to compassion, and it's really ...... to do so."

"Lord Wu, I don't know this, although my Buddhism pays attention to compassion, but there is also an angry-eyed Vajra to subdue demons. A person who commits such a heinous crime cannot atone for his sins without capital punishment. Besides, that's what the court meant." When talking about the word imperial court, Hongyuan also deliberately accentuated the pronunciation.

This made Wu Tieyi obviously show a trace of helplessness, so he could only snap a shocked look and say in a deep voice, "This is indeed the case. Wang Yichuan, it is already a great crime for you to kill people in the street, not to mention that it is a Buddhist monk who kills you, which is really a heinous crime. Even if he was at fault in the first place, you shouldn't hurt anyone, do you think those stories are true?

"Therefore according to the law of my great transgression, I shall punish thee severely, and thee shall be punished ......."

Just as he was about to settle the final verdict, most of the people outside the trial showed unbearable and angry expressions, and when those monks all showed smugness, the royal wife, who had been kneeling there silently and without the slightest sense of existence, suddenly spoke: "Slow! My lord, the women have a few words to say......

"You say." Wu Tieyi's expression slowed down and responded quickly.

Before the others could react, the king's wife had already said loudly, "The woman knows that she is deeply guilty, if it weren't for me and that Xuanzhou...... There would be no murders today.

"However, please also be enlightened, my husband Wang Yichuan will kill him in public, in fact, he was forced by him, and it is the result of many humiliations.

"Actually, they say that the folk woman with the woman, which is not true at all, and it should be said that he forced the folk woman to be ...... by him After the incident, my husband reasoned with the monk several times, but he was overwhelmed by his power, and even laughed that he could be in our family, in front of my husband and a woman......

"Finally, the previous statement came true, and my husband couldn't bear it anymore, so he killed him in anger. It can be said that all these sins are on that Xuan Zhou and the people's women, and my husband was really forced to be helpless, so he started to kill the people!"

As she spoke, she slammed her head down again, and sobbed, "I still hope that my lord will know it......
