As soon as Zhou Sui's words entered his ears, Zhao Xiyan's blood surged all over his body, and he subconsciously stepped forward: "Where is he being held?"

Xu Jing replied in a low voice, "I was sent to the prison of the Criminal Department this evening. The soldiers in charge of the escort found the porridge shed and sent me a letter. I'll take them back to our house and settle down first, and I'll tell you about it by the way."

Because of the bandit disaster in Beihai County, Xu Ying hated Zhou Sui to the core, and did not notice Zhao Xiyan's strange appearance for a while, and said with a resentful face: "This Zhou Sui, can't let him die lightly, he should be cut by a thousand knives!"

A chill flashed in Xu Jing's eyes, and he said lightly: "According to the laws of the imperial court, the anti-thief should punish the nine clans. Zhou Sui has no way to live, it only depends on how the emperor plans to execute him."

The Great Jin Dynasty experienced several rebellions of bandits, Xu Jing killed Zhang Chong in Jizhou that day, and several other bandits also died in the hands of the imperial army one by one. Dingguo Gong merged with the state and neatly exterminated the bandits. Zhou Sui was the first bandit to be captured alive.

Xu San did not kill Zhou Sui, but asked people to send Zhou Sui to the capital, so that Zhou Sui could be interrogated by the Criminal Department and publicly executed.

This move is wonderful. One can show the law of the court, and the other is to promote the prestige of their own masters.

Zhao Xiyan suppressed the surging hatred in his heart, and said softly, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

Xu Jing and Zhao Xiyan glanced at each other, both knowing each other's intentions.

In the past, Xu Jing would definitely find a way to go to the prison and kill Zhou Sui in person.

Now, Xu Jing has the opportunity to win the throne, so he can't be so willful and reckless. It is appropriate and reasonable to let Zhou Sui die in the court and die in front of everyone.

In front of Xu Ying, the young couple had a tacit understanding and kept silent. After dinner returned to the bedroom, when the young couple was alone, Xu Jing muttered in a low voice: "It's too uncomforting to act like this."

Zhao Xiyan's mood had completely calmed down, and he said softly, "As long as I want Zhou Sui to die, it doesn't matter who he died in or how."

"Brother Chunsheng, on the day of the execution, will you take me to the execution ground? In my previous life, I couldn't see it with my own eyes, and it's a shame."

Xu Jing responded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll take you there then."

Zhao Xiyan is pregnant, in fact, it is not suitable to see too bloody scenes. However, this is Zhao Xiyan's biggest knot. He wanted to personally accompany Zhao Xiyan and open the knot.

Emperor Yongming did not ask about the government on weekdays, but he quickly replied to the twists and turns of dealing with the bandits, and ordered the Criminal Department to interrogate, convict and execute Zhou Sui as soon as possible.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Ji Shangshu of the Criminal Department opened the lobby of the Criminal Department and personally presided over the trial.

Xu Jing, the son of the king of Beihai, personally came to the court of the Criminal Department.

"Ji Shangshu rest assured, this son of the world is here today, and he will only watch and never make a noise." Without waiting for Ji Shangshu to speak, Xu Jing took the lead in expressing his attitude.

Ji Shangshu arched his hand at Xu Jing, and he didn't say much.

Zhou Sui almost broke through Beihai County, and he didn't know how many defenders of Beihai County he killed. The one who captured Zhou Sui was also the personal soldier of the prince of Beihai. Today, Xu Jing came to the court in person, which is reasonable.

Of course, more importantly, because Xu Jing's reputation is growing, how can an old fox in officialdom like Ji Shangshu offend Xu Jing for a trivial matter?

Immediately after, another familiar figure appeared in the public hall.

"The last general has seen the son of the world and the book of Jishang." Murong Shen, the heroic former captain of the Imperial Colonel in soft armor, saluted respectfully.

Xu Jing's eyes flashed, and he pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile: "Captain Murong is not on an errand in the palace, why did he come to the lobby of the Criminal Department."

Murong Shen's temper was much gentler than before, and when he heard such provocative words, his face did not change: "The emperor ordered the last general to come to see the trial, and then return when the trial is over."

Murong Shen was on an errand in front of the emperor and had always won the trust of the Son of Heaven. If he wants to come to the lobby of the criminal department, it is naturally not difficult. This reason is enough to explain.

However, Murong Shen's true intention, the two of them knew it.

In his previous life, Zhou Sui humiliated Zhao Xiyan for several years, Xu Jing wanted to cut him with a thousand knives, and Murong Shen also hated Zhou Sui. Murong Shen is here today to see what happened to Zhou Sui in person.

Xu Jing glanced at Murong Shen and sat down on the chair beside him.

Murong Shen came to observe the trial on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and naturally he was also qualified to sit down. Ji Shangshu was quite empathetic and deliberately asked people to set the chair on the other side. In this way, Murong Shen and Xu Jing are far apart, and they also save the trouble of arguing.

Ji Shangshu sat in the public hall and slapped the heavy startling wood hard: "Come on, bring Zhou Sui here."

After a cup of tea, a tall man with a blurred flesh and broken right leg and a dirty body was dragged into the courtroom.

This man is none other than Zhou Sui.

Zhou Sui was scarred everywhere, he was imprisoned in a prison car all the way, and the road was closed in the snow, so he should have choked his breath a long time ago. I don't know if it's because the military doctor is skillful, or Zhou Sui's vitality is too tenacious, and he has not died until the capital.

Now he was dragged up like a dead dog, and the wounds on his body collapsed, leaving wisps of blood where he had been dragged.

Xu Jing looked coldly at Zhou Sui, who was lying on the ground with only one breath left.

Murong Shen on the other side also had a cold gaze.

If gaze could kill, Zhou Sui would have died thousands of times.

"Zhou Sui, you committed the felony of conspiracy and rebellion, slaughtering several villages outside Beihai County and killing thousands of innocent people. You may confess your sins!"

Ji Shangshu's face was calm, and he asked sharply.

Zhou Sui on the ground, I don't know if he heard it, he didn't move first. After a moment, he shook his head reluctantly.

At this moment, he didn't even admit his guilt, and he didn't have the slightest repentance, self-blame and fear.

This is the natural outlaw of the giant bandits.

Ji Shangshu was furious in his heart, his face was quite calm, and he continued to go through the interrogation process.

Zhou Sui still shook his head with all his might.

Xu Jing sneered: "If you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't die."

Murong Shen rarely stood on the same front as Xu Jing, and said coldly: "The time of death is just around the corner, and the immortals can't save him when they come."

Ji Shangquan didn't hear the two of them disturbing the public interrogation, so he turned his head and instructed Wen Juan: "Zhou Sui has pleaded guilty, you write it down."

The judge responded in a low voice, and quickly put pen to paper. Then the transcript was presented to Ji Shangshu, who did not hesitate and wrote the words "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and Ling Chi is sentenced" at the end.

Ji Shangshu gestured with his eyes, and the literary judge understood it, held the transcript in front of the prince of Beihai, and said respectfully, "Please take a look at the prince."

Xu Jing said: "How important is the record of the Criminal Department, how can this son look at it at will." I scanned my gaze unceremoniously and saw the last line, quite satisfied.

Judge Wen held the transcript in front of Captain Murong again.

Murong Shen was not polite, he quickly read it, and then arched his hand and said, "The last general will enter the palace and return to the palace."

Such a big case can only be executed after waiting for the approval of the imperial pen.

Ji Shangshu personally entered the palace to face the saint.

Emperor Yongming approved and executed as soon as possible.
