Chapter 364: Public Trial (I)

Next, Jia Huan began to look through the letters that had just been copied from the Cao family, the Bai family, and the Song family.

Most of these letters are ordinary family letters exchanged within their families.

But on the Cao family's side, Jia Huan turned out eight letters written by important officials of the court to the Cao family.

There is also one of them, which was written by Prince Zhongshun to the head of the Cao family.

Seeing these letters, Jia Huan's eyes couldn't help but light up!

Sure enough, there was collusion between the Cao family and some ministers in the court.

In other words, the Cao family, the Bai family and the Song family are the lackeys of those ministers.

With these handles, the rest is much easier.

Next, Jia Huan took out these letters and flipped through them.

After reading it, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

For there is not a word in these letters about their plans.

They didn't even say anything about resisting the new law, and the letter even told them to actively cooperate with the new prefectural ordinance and go all out to promote the new law.

It seems that these important ministers are extremely cautious in their work.

These letters may just be a reassurance to the Cao family from these important ministers.

But the content of their cooperation must have been passed on through intermediaries, and did not fall into letters.

If this is the case, then these letters are useless.

However, Jia Huan had an idea, and couldn't help shouting at Jiangmo.

He couldn't help but ask Mo Da: "Mo Da, your Mo family, have you been able to eliminate the ink on the letters?" Is there anyone who is good at imitating other people's handwriting? ”

Hearing Jia Huan's inquiry, Mo Da replied: "Childe, there are some." My Mo family is inherited from the ancestor Mo Zhai, and it has been inherited for more than 1,000 years. ”

"Therefore, my Mo family is not only a puppet of the mechanism, but also some witchcraft and tricks, and they are all involved in it, and there are naturally talents who eliminate ink potions and imitate other people's handwriting."

Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He hurriedly said, "Well, in that case, you will bring someone at once, and I need him to revise the contents of a letter." ”

Mo Da said: "Yes, Childe, I will send someone to invite someone over." ”

After that, Mo Da went out to make arrangements.

After reading these letters, Jia Huan had a calculation in his heart.

After Mo Da came back, Jia Huan set off directly and took Mo Da and his party to the mansions of Cao and Bai Song.

Register the number of illegal armor weapons in the three private collections, and secretly put the scimitar into the Cao family's weapons.

……

At this time, Xia Qing, the inspector, had already publicized the news that at noon, the county ordered the adults to publicly try the Cao, Bai, and Song families.

It immediately caused a sensation in the entire Ping'an County.

Ping'an County is a large county, with seventeen families of all sizes, and these families control ninety percent of the wealth of Ping'an County.

All walks of life are monopolized by them.

And these seventeen families all have the behavior of bullying and dominating the market, bullying men and women.

And with Cao, Bai, and Song, the three strongest families are even greater, and the people of Ping'an County have suffered for a long time!

And now, the new county order has taken down all three families overnight.

And they will be tried at noon, how can all the people in Ping'an County not be angry?

For a time, the news spread ten, ten and hundred, and soon spread to everyone in the entire Ping'an county, and no one knew about it.

Hundreds of people walked out of their homes one after another and rushed in the direction of the county government.

In a short time, many people came to the county office.

At this time, outside the county government, a public trial platform has been temporarily erected.

When noon comes, the prefectural magistrate will hold a public trial on them.

More and more people came to watch, and after a while, a large open space in front of the county government was blocked.

Soon, the time came to noon.

A cadre of officials came out of the county government, and several people were holding the heads of the Cao, Bai, and Song families, and Jia Huan walked last.

Seeing the county magistrate coming out, as well as the three heads of the family who were tied up by Wuhua and became prisoners, the people at the scene immediately became angry.

The on-site errand officer suddenly carried a fire stick and smashed it down on the ground again and again.

He shouted, "Wei! Military! Quiet! ”

Soon, the scene was silent.

Syllable!

Jia Huan slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Come on, bring the criminal Bai Ziye to the court." ”

Soon, Bai Ziye, the head of the Bai family, was brought to the hall.

Jia Huan asked in a deep voice, "Bai Ziye, are you guilty?" ”

Bai Ziye hurriedly knelt on his knees and said loudly: "Lord County Commander, the old man is wronged, the old man is wronged!" I have always been kind to people in my Bai family's poetry and books, and I dare to ask adults if I don't know what the Bai family is guilty of? ”

Jia Huan sneered: "Now that people have obtained stolen goods, how dare you hide it again?" ”

"Your Bai family is guilty of one crime, colluding with foreign countries, colluding with Dajin, and intending to commit treason. Now in your Bai family, you have found armor, all kinds of weapons, strong crossbows and other weapons as evidence. ”

"Sin two, your Bai family colluded with the Cao family and the Song family to try to resist the new law, and conspired to destroy the eight other families, and even slaughtered thousands of people to create chaos and resist the new law!"

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, and the stolen goods are seized, how can you deny it?"

Jia Huan's words almost scared Bai Ziye into peeing.

They have armor and other prohibited weapons at home, but how could they have colluded with foreign countries to collude with Dajin? This is an absolute slander!

And what made Bai Ziye panic the most was actually the second charge of their Bai family, colluding with the Cao family and the Song family, plotting to destroy the eight families and slaughter thousands of people!

This is a conspiracy between the three of them, how did the county magistrate know about this?

Could it be that the Cao family and the Song family turned against the water?

For a while, Bai Ziye was shocked.

And the onlookers, when they heard the words of the county magistrate, immediately became angry.

They pointed at Bai Ziye and scolded him for being a traitor! Beast! There are many other vicious words.

And Bai Ziye hurriedly said loudly: "My lord, you are wronged!" Wronged! If you want to add sin, why should you do it? My lord, I don't know who poured dirty water on my Bai family? Please also make a clear judgment, this is a matter of no choice! ”

Jia Huan shouted in a deep voice: "Bai Ziye, you really can't cry when you don't see the coffin?" ”

"On that day, the heads of your seventeen families conspired in the private room on the third floor of Juxian Building, and you, Bai Ziye, sat by the window."

"What you plotted that day, someone has already told this official. Now, if you confess your sins earlier, you will certainly not be able to escape death, but your Bai family will not be beheaded all over the house! ”

"And if you insist on going your own way again, when the official calls witnesses, your Bai family will definitely end up beheaded! The last time the official asked you, can you Bai Ziye be guilty? ”

Jia Huan's choice to be the first to interrogate Bai Ziye naturally had a purpose.

Because Bai Ziye is a person, because he is old, he is suspicious and greedy for life and afraid of death.

Jia Huan first pointed out Juxian Building, and even pointed out the location where he was sitting that day.

Bai Ziye will inevitably be frightened, and he will definitely think that someone is informing, and this alone can break his defense.
