"What?"

"Chen Xun was arrested and sent to Yali in Xicheng County?"

"Didn't you watch Chen Xun eat the Desperate Pill?"

Yue Lang looked at the shadow angrily and scolded loudly.

"Master, my subordinates really watched Chen Xun eat the Death Pill, and wrote a confession, taking everything on himself."

The shadow fell to his knees blankly.

He didn't know why Chen Xun didn't die.

The stage for suicide has obviously been set up for him, why doesn't Chen Xun know whether he is alive or dead?

Do you have to be satisfied if his wife and children also accompany him to die without a place to be buried?

Yue Lang paced back and forth, anxiously turning.

"Master, even if Chen Xun is arrested, he won't dare to reveal the master in a short time. As long as the old man doesn't have an accident, his wife and children will be fine. If something happens to the master, his family will only have one way to die without a place to be buried.

Chen Xun is a smart man, I think he knows what to do. ”

Shadow said.

"Oh, I don't know my heart, I don't know my heart, and I'm still not sensible. I'm not afraid that he wants to live, I'm afraid that he doesn't know whether to live or die! ”

Yue Lang finally stopped: "Prepare a sedan chair and go to Xicheng County!" ”

"Sir, you ······"

The shadow's eyes widened.

He didn't expect that the master would come forward in person for this kind of thing.

And the fat maid next to her has already gone out to call people to prepare a sedan chair.

"You go to Lord Chen's mansion and give this to him."

Yue Lang handed a piece of paper in his hand to the shadow and hurried away.

The shadow glanced at the paper, and the front and back were empty.

He knew that this was a secret letter, and he needed to soak it in a special potion to reveal the words.

He stuffed the paper into his pocket, jumped on the roof with a slight jump, and the whole person became one with the surrounding objects and colors, and disappeared from the eyes of the people around him.

In the Xicheng County Yazhong, Chen Xun has been escorted to the lobby.

This is Qiao Minshan and Meng Jin, in order to prevent the people behind Chen Xun from using some off-the-plate tricks unscrupulously, they deliberately chose to conduct a public trial in the county government hall!

Meng Jingao sat in the hall of the county government, under the plaque hanging high in the mirror.

Qiao Minshan sat on the next jury.

"You go outside and sound the gong."

Meng Jin looked at the officials standing on the left and right of the column, pointed to the squad leader on the left hand and commanded.

The leader of the squad answered the order, picked up the gong and ran towards the gate.

A line of militiamen outside the gate of the county government stood at the gate with their guns on their backs and their heads held high. It has attracted some idlers to come and watch.

With the gong "clanging and clanging", it seemed to be a showmanship, which suddenly attracted a lot of onlookers.

The gate of the county government was wide open, and the people followed the guidance, walked through the Yongdao and then passed the Yimen, and came to the outside of the lobby door, where there was a wooden fence to block the footsteps of the people, but through the wooden fence can already clearly see everything in the lobby.

Not long after, the people who poured in had already surrounded the entrance of the county government hall.

It's like a spectator at a public trial in a court on Earth.

It can enhance the supervision and transparency of the masses over the case, guide public opinion, improve the legal literacy of the people, and have a certain deterrent effect on the organizations behind the scenes.

Maybe the influence of the people is very small, but no matter how small it is, it is also part of the influence, as long as they can make the people behind the scenes a little more jealous, their chances of winning will be greater.

"Who is that one who is pressed to the ground? Looks like a big shot! ”

"Kneeling there, his back is still so straight, like an official."

"It's definitely a dog officer!"

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense! Beware of the misfortune that comes out of the mouth! ”

Look at the lively crowd, frolicking, there is no serious atmosphere at all.

Until the sound of "snap", Meng Jin's hand slapped on the table fiercely: "Silence! ”

"Mighty !!"

The officials on both sides of the column lit water and fire sticks, and dragged a long voice in their mouths, suppressing the sound of the people outside chattering.

Although Meng Jin has only been in Jinshan County for one year, he has a good official reputation and has a good reputation among the people. As he spoke, the people who were chattering and frolicking outside suddenly fell silent, and their eyes were fixed on him.

At this time, the sun shines in the lobby, and the smooth ground reflects the light to the "Zhengda Guangming" hanging high behind it.

Although the face is young, it gives people a very trustworthy feeling.

"Who's in the hall!"

Meng Jin asked.

"Chen Xun, the commander of the Terracotta Division of Jinshan County, Chujiang Province!"

Meng Yunbo finished speaking loudly under the hall, and the people outside the fence were in an uproar.

What an official!

Although most of the people don't know which department the Terracotta Division is, and how big an official this Terracotta Division leader is.

However, cracking down on corrupt officials and watching the fall of dog officials is still something that the people like to see, and the onlookers immediately became more emotional, and their ears were pricked up.

"What crime have you committed?"

Meng Jin asked.

"Raise private soldiers in captivity, cultivate criminal organizations, and smuggle the poison of green fruits!"

Meng Yunbo said loudly, but temporarily concealed the private firearm, which involves the Ministry of National Defense and cannot be tried in public here.

Meng Jin looked at Chen Xun, who was tightly bound by the steel cable.

Because this person is a dark martial artist, in addition to the steel cable, after he was caught, he was also fed soft tendons, so that he lost his strength, and at this time he had no strength in his body, and he was still carrying a heavy iron shackle.

But this person is also tough, and he still stiffens his back and maintains the last decency.

"Chen Xun, do you need to defend yourself?"

Meng Jin's sharp eyes stared at Chen Xun tightly.

"Why does this official need to defend himself? This official is a third-grade official, and his position is still above your Xicheng County Order, what qualifications do you have to judge this official? You are just relying on your background in Wuzhou Province, since there are no rules in this world, why should you be guilty of this desire?

If you want to condemn any crime, just listen to your honor! ”

Chen Xun raised his head, stared, looked at Meng Jin, and said loudly.

"Clever words!"

Meng Jin naturally would not fall into Chen Xun's language trap and argue with him about a trial qualification.

A row of astonished trees: "Read the evidence!" ”

Meng Yunbo took out his confession and read it out loud: "Chen Xun, the Soldiers and Horses Division of Jinshan County, Chujiang Province, privately established a chariot and horse gang, recruited 1,426 thugs, and engaged in multiple crimes such as robbing homes and houses, collecting protection money, kidnapping tickets, robbing roads, robbing, murdering, and illegal transactions!"

And in the Jinyan Villa outside the city, 500 private soldiers and 46 diners were kept in captivity, including 14 monsters, to assist the chariot and horse gangs to engage in criminal activities.

Do you recognize these? ”

"Huh."

Chen Xun sneered.

However, the people outside the fence were boiling all at once.

Those green fruit trades are very far away for them.

But the carriage and horse shop is very close to them, those robberies and extortion, collecting protection money, blocking the road and robbing, and sometimes hearing about whose daughter was robbed, which family was kidnapped, these are all related to this carriage and horse gang!

Now that they heard that this chariot and horse gang was actually established by Chen Xun, the people's opinions of him suddenly changed sharply, and their eyes were full of anger, and they couldn't wait to quickly push him to the entrance of the vegetable market and cut off his head!

Meng Jin glanced at Qiao Minshan, who was sitting at the bottom, and Qiao Minshan nodded slightly with him.

Meng Jin looked at Chen Xun again and sneered: "Stubborn, give him some means." ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand, and immediately the militia on the periphery brought in the torture tools.

These torture instruments do not look very cruel, but the pain is no less than those in the torture chamber.

A towel, a copper basin with clear water, Zhou Xun stood next to him, watching Chen Xun be turned over and pressed on a bench.

Zhou Xun took a towel and put it in a copper basin to soak it.

Then it covered Chen Xun's face.

Chen Xun looked at the towel and the basin at first, but when the wet towel covered his face, the feeling of suffocation made him subconsciously open his mouth and swallow hard, at this time Zhou Xun picked up the copper basin and poured it on the towel.

A large amount of water was inhaled into his throat, lungs, and trachea. He couldn't help coughing, vomiting, a fear of suffocating death, which filled his mind, and the indescribable pain kept pounding his brain as time passed.

The lungs and trachea are hot, and a large amount of thick nasal discharge is secreted.

For a moment, fear overwhelmed his heart and made him forget everything else.

"Say, who is the person who is in collusion with you!"

Meng Jin shouted loudly.

The sound sounded like dynamite in the lobby, like a stick, and exploded into Chen Xun's ears.

Even the people who were listening outside were taken aback!

"I ······ I ······"

As soon as Chen Xun opened his mouth, he coughed violently.

Zhou Xun took away the towel covering his face in due time.

Suddenly, Chen Xun coughed, and his face was covered with snot and thick phlegm. At this time, there was no longer the dignity he had worked so hard to maintain.

"I ······"

Chen Xun's eyes looked at the Zhou Xun who was ready to give him another round at any time.

After experiencing the horror of waterboarding, in a short period of time, he already developed psychological fear.

When he was hesitating in his thoughts, the sound of a gong suddenly came in from outside.

"Lord Governor has arrived!"

A trumpet sounded from outside the gate.

Meng Jin and Qiao Minshan glanced at each other, and they both saw doubt in each other's eyes.

Yue Lang came over again at this time, even if he ate, he couldn't catch up with the heat, if it was just for the sake of merit, there was actually no need to come over now.

Therefore, his current behavior is already very suspicious.

However, the etiquette that should be on the surface is still indispensable, and the two stood up and walked towards the door of the ceremony. I saw Yue Lang, who was wearing a black gauze hat and a scarlet official robe, getting down from the sedan chair, but his fat body had a vigorous step, and he walked over quickly with his robe.

"I don't know if Lord Governor is coming, I'll miss the distance."

Qiao Minshan stood in front and arched his hand.

"Master Joe is also there."

After Yue Lang bowed his hand to Qiao Minshan, he said: "This official heard that Chen Xun, the Soldier and Horse Division, raised private soldiers and thugs in captivity, and dared to trade green fruits, it is really bold!"

This Terracotta Division is also under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office, and this official has to come and see it.

If it is true, the official will never spare him!

But ······"

Yue Lang looked at Meng Jin, and there was a cold look in his eyes: "If someone frames Zhongliang, then the official has to see what this person's intentions are!" ”

"Lord Governor has his own discernment, please come inside."

Qiao Minshan made a gesture of please sideways, and then walked into the lobby first.

After entering Yimen, under the militia to maintain order, the people hurriedly moved out of the way.

Everyone entered the lobby, Yue Lang didn't look at Chen Xun with his eyes, and walked towards the top.

Qiao Minshan stood still on the left, and pointed to the official hat chair on the right: "Governor, please." ”

Yue Lang glanced at Qiao Minshan, then at Meng Jin, who walked to the lobby and sat down, frowned and said, "How can there be a reason why Lord Qiao is here, but he is tried by a small county official?" What's more, Chen Xun has not been removed from his official position now, how can a dignified third-grade member be tried by a small county official?

That doesn't make sense! ”

"Now it is a new dynasty, and there is no nine-grade official system for a long time. Besides, the Xicheng County Order is at the level of the main department, and it is at the same level as Chen Xunshi, so how can it not be tried?

Lord Yue should learn more, after all, the officials of this new dynasty can't use the ideas of the old dynasty to do it. ”

Qiao Minshan saw that Yue Lang was picky as soon as he came, and he didn't say a word to him softly or hard, so Shi Shiran sat down.

Seeing this, Yue Lang frowned, and also picked up his official robe and sat down.

Qiao Minshan is a jury, this is to tell him with practical actions that you Yue Lang can't sit in the main seat.

After Yue Lang sat upright, his eyes looked at Chen Xun.

He didn't speak, just sitting here was a silent announcement.

Meng Jinhe asked, "Chen Xun, no one can protect you today!" Don't give it up right away!! ”

But at this time, Chen Xun had already calmed down, and his face was calm: "This official is not guilty!" ”

The voice was sonorous, just the snot and thick phlegm that stuck on his face, making him look a little disgusting.

"Go on!"

Meng Jin said coldly.

Zhou Xun continued to take out a towel and put it over his face.

Yue Lang was still thinking about what this was doing, and when he saw Chen Xun's painful voice, he finally understood that although this punishment did not look terrifying, it was definitely a terrifying and torturous punishment!

"Smack!"

Yue Lang clapped his hands violently, looked at Meng Jin, and shouted coldly: "Is Meng County Ling trying to bend into a move?"

Don't stop yet! ”

"Zhou Xun, stop first."

Meng Jin said.

Zhou Xun took out the towel, and Chen Xun gasped and coughed loudly in pain.

There was even a smell of urine in the lobby.

Urine ran down the bench.

"How can this be reasonable, Chen Xun dared to impose heavy sentences on the officials before he was convicted of the crime, how can there be such a reason in the world!

How unreasonable! ”

Yue Lang looked like he was protecting his generals, stood up, and pointed at Meng Jin's nose: "Will you try the case?" The Law at every turn? Extremely daring! ”

At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd at the door, and one person squeezed in.

ran to Qiao Minshan and muttered something in his ear.

Yue Lang, who was reprimanding Meng Jin, also stopped talking at this time, and his ears moved.

But I don't know what means the other party used, he was a dignified martial artist, but he didn't hear anything.

But the determined smile on Qiao Minshan's face made his heart beat uncontrollably.

"They're not going to catch some key evidence, are they?" (End of chapter)
