Tu Peng seemed to be pleading guilty, but in fact, several crimes he confessed to were precisely the key to Zhuo Yao's conviction of Jia Hao.

At the beginning of Shangwei Sanjie, Tu Peng served as the city lord, and his good brothers Rui Qing and Jia Hao were his right-hand men. But unlike Rui Qing, who is in charge of internal affairs, Jia Hao is in charge of military affairs.

Jia Hao is obsessed with rectifying the military and training cultivators on weekdays. The execution of civilians is not his line of business. Although his hands are not clean, there is not much direct evidence found by Zhuo Yao.

Tu Peng claimed all these crimes, claiming that all these things were done by Jia Hao under his threat, and if Jia Hao didn't do it, he would die. In this way, Zhuo Yao's side is passive.

According to the trial logic of Justice Meng Zhengchu, Jia Hao must have no chance of moral choice in this situation, so he cannot be convicted.

Zhuo Yao, Wei Kaicheng and others were careless, who would have thought that the real intention of the defense was not to save Tu Peng, but to protect Jia Hao.

In fact, this strategy came precisely from Tu Peng's instructions. When Wu Bingyu met with Tu Peng alone as a defense lawyer, Tu Peng knew that as the chief figure, it was impossible for him to save his life. He asked Wu Bingyu to go all out to keep Jia Hao from being convicted, at least not to be sentenced to death.

"Of the three of my brothers, one must be left. Tu Peng said at the time. Rui Qing is dead, and he will definitely die. So going all out to exonerate Jia Hao has become the only choice.

Wu Bingyu faithfully carried out Tu Peng's orders, and she devoted all her energy to studying the evidence in Zhuo Yao's hands to convict Jia Hao.

After carefully designing a plan, she successfully made Tu Peng and Jia Hao confess through her own business methods.

Sure enough, in the next trial, Jia Hao pushed all the crimes against him to Tu Peng, and Tu Peng himself accepted all the orders. Because there are almost no eyewitnesses in several cases, only relatively pale written evidence. The lies that Wu Bingyu made up for the two of them were seamless.

It's just that when Jia Hao was pouring dirty water on Tu Peng, his tiger eyes trembled with tears in his voice. Justice Meng Zhengchu asked him if he was unwell, and Jia Hao replied: "His body is fine, but his heart is like ashes."

I don't know if Zhuo Yaofang's evidence is really insufficient, or the brotherhood between Tu Peng and Jia Hao moved the jury. After lengthy deliberations, the jury verdict:

Jia Hao, not guilty.

This result was somewhat unexpected, and Zhuo Yao, the representative of the prosecution, strongly opposed it, until Justice Meng Zhengchu asked him to ban him. Wu Bingyu was both excited and sad at the same time, her main work had been completed so far.

The ensuing trial was uneventful, and all nine defendants were convicted by jury.

The trial lasted from early morning until late at night, during which time no one left. It is only when the jury is behind closed doors that everyone takes the opportunity to eat something or solve a personal problem.

At the last minute of the winter solstice, Justice Meng Zhengchu dropped the hammer and sentenced Tu Peng and ten others to be hanged for immediate execution, while Jia Hao was acquitted and released in court.

But the actual execution was already ten days later. Because this was followed by a trial of the criminal organization. In addition, of the more than 300 cultivators arrested in Songhe, most of them had to be prosecuted, except for a few like Wu Bingyu, who were released.

It's just that the trials of these chambers are not as powerful as the trials of the evil leader Tu Peng. Some small characters will not work hard to drive the holy beast to appear on the stage, and Binhai Radio has not broadcast live to the public.

On the day of the execution, the snow on the day of the winter solstice had not yet melted, and it was really a cold winter.

But the execution ground was crowded.

Not only the local residents of the coast, but also many nearby cities also came to the practitioners. However, neither of these is as many as those from Matsukawa. Upon learning of the punishment of the evil leader Tu Peng today, the residents of Songhe crowded the train to Binhai to see for themselves the demon struggling and suffering on the gallows.

It is regrettable that Binhai resolutely refuses to erect spikes, Ling Chi and other tortures. This is civilization's judgment of savagery, not dog-eat-dog.

At noon, the first batch of fifteen criminals were brought out of the field, and Tu Peng was the first. Two hundred and thirty people were sentenced to be hanged today, but only fifteen gallows were erected on the execution ground. For the sake of these beasts, it's really not worth wasting more materials, so let them line up to die.

Tu Peng was tied with his hands tied, he was shackled, his spiritual power was deprived, and his hair had turned gray. No longer the domineering when he was the lord of the city, everyone only saw a lonely middle-aged man.

Under the dark gallows, Tu Peng saw Jia Hao again. There were only a few people around Jia Hao, including Wu Bingyu, and the crowd of onlookers was far away from them, foaming at them from time to time.

Jia Hao endured his grief and handed over a glass of wine: "Boss, drink a glass of wine and go on the road." ”

The escorted soldier looked at Ye Cong, Ye Cong nodded, and the soldier let go of Tu Peng.

Tu Peng took the wine and drank it all, and the brothers looked at each other, knowing that this was the eternal secret. Jia Hao rubbed his head in pain, but Tu Peng laughed and said:

"Second brother, do you remember that reed beach in Shangwei?"

Of course Jia Hao remembers.

Back then, the three of them were fledgling, wandering aimlessly, indulging in demon slashing. In Shangwei, they stumbled upon a reed beach, which stretched for more than ten miles.

The rabbit essence is infested in the reed beach, and the strength is weak, but the fat and fat are thick and delicious. The three brothers have been on the reed beach for a long time, practicing at night, and during the day, they will beat a few rabbits and fight tooth sacrifices.

The river is shallow, the reeds are swaying, and it was a fairy day.

After becoming the lord of Songhe City, Tu Peng mentioned the reed beach to the two brothers several times. The words expressed the expectation that I would like to see it again. It's a pity that there is a huge Songhe City, and the business is busy, and it is impossible for the three of them to have time to return to the reed beach in their dreams.

Tu Peng returned the wine glass to Jia Hao and looked into the distance: "I really want to go back to the reed beach to hunt a few rabbits and try the craftsmanship of the third child." The third child plays the piano like that, and the skill of roasting rabbits is really a must!"

Jia Hao cried bitterly.

The crowd of onlookers scolded and urged them to hurry up. The soldiers took Tu Peng into custody again and sent him to the execution platform.

An executioner wearing a black hood put the hood on Tu Peng, and then put a knot around Tu Peng's neck. This rope is particularly thick, and it is specially prepared for Tu Peng.

If the hanging is done with a very thick rope, the criminal will struggle for a long, long time before he dies. There were too many people who hated Tu Peng, and in the end, someone still bought off the workers who erected the gallows. Torture is not allowed in Binhai, at least in this way to make Tu Peng suffer a little more.

Tu Peng glanced at the rope, but did not speak.

After the trap was put down, most of the other prisoners choked their breath in a few minutes, but Tu Peng struggled for half an hour.

In the process, some of the residents of Songhe danced with their hands, and some wept bitterly. But all of them, after the hanging, felt an indescribable emptiness.

Such is the case with revenge. The revenge was painful at the time, but after it was over, everyone had to go on with their lives. Only then will you understand that no matter how tragic the enemy's death is, the deceased relatives will never come back.

Revenge is an empty pleasure.
