After hearing Qiu Xizi's first sentence, Shao Cheng's soul flew into the sky, and he felt like he was looking down at the execution field.
He opened his mouth to say something, but the mouth refused to obey him - because his thoughts were running too fast, as if a lot of words rushed to his mouth and were about to flow out, but he was blocked and unable to say a word.
Then there was a burst of heat in the chest and abdomen, layers of sweat on the back, and a feeling of coldness in the howling north wind.
Thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral legacy, Qiu Xizi was able to shout out everything about Hu Yong's silence. Moreover, because these words had been circulating in his mind for several days, he spoke them loudly and concisely.
It directly detonated the execution ground.
The onlookers surrounding the execution ground were first in a strange silence, and then suddenly burst into applause! Because Qiu Xizi’s revelations were both terrifying and weird about “increasing official status” and suspenseful and surprising about a major murder case, and Qiu Xizi’s willingness to
The expression "Fuck the Law" and only seek an appeal is also mixed with "righteousness" and "brave", which directly boosts the audience's adrenaline to the peak!
After the cheers came one after another, a voice suddenly screamed "Let him speak!" in the execution ground, and then the whole place was filled with voices of "Let him speak", gradually becoming unified.
The Jinyiweitang official who announced the decree saw that the situation in the execution ground was a little out of control. He raised his right arm and the soldiers with loaded ammunition removed the blunderbuss from their shoulders. When he gave the order, they raised it horizontally to suppress it. The onlookers who were watching quickly calmed down when they saw this.
The noisy voice gradually became quieter.
Now the chief officer in charge of the execution, Shao Cheng, was at a loss, and the official in the imperial guard hall did not care about the grievances of the condemned prisoner, but only maintained the order of the execution ground. The crowd under the banquet tent was leaderless for a while, and no one responded to Qiu Xizi's shouts.
Sitting on the bench, Duke Li almost bit his back teeth when he saw Qiu Xizi making a fuss. He didn't care who the Hu Yong that Qiu Xizi called just now was, or what the official title was, he just wanted Qiu Xizi to make a fuss.
Xizi’s head.
He stood up from the bench with a roar, pointed at Shao Cheng and cursed: "Can a death row prisoner avenge others? What does the grievances of the surnamed Hu have to do with him?! This beast clearly wants to bluff to survive!"
"You official, since you have proven your true identity, why don't you go back and issue cards to ask for execution! If the time passes, I will impeach you!"
Shao Cheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the countenance he was wearing, and then he remembered that this was Empress Dowager Li's father, Wu Qingbo Li Wei, and that Qiu Xizi was his grandson's enemy.
He nodded and said, "Uncle Li is right. I only want to punish the injustice, but I can't do anything else!" He quickly walked a few steps back to the mat tent and was about to hand out a red card.
Suddenly, he heard someone in the banquet tent say loudly: "Master Shao, wait a minute!" Shao Cheng's heart skipped a beat again, and when he looked closely, it was Shao Boti, the main hall of Wanping County.
Seeing the Shaoxian magistrate, he cupped his hands and said, "It's not even half past eleven yet, and it's a quarter before noon. Since this person is willing to submit to the law, why don't you come in and listen to what he has to say?"
After hearing what Shao Boti said, Daxing County Magistrate Wu Yuexiu also immediately beat the drum and said: "Master Shao, the people are so vocal now that it is really not advisable to act too hastily."
At the same time, he thought to himself, "This Shao Boti is not stupid at all. If he finds out about Shuntian Mansion, more than one person may be missing."
Shao Cheng's face turned pale, his eyes were on fire and he said, "Daxing County will only take the unclaimed corpses and bring them to Zelu Garden. Wanping County will only take the heads and hang them on poles to show the public. The rest is not something you two should say."
Every time the two county magistrates come to Xishi, they are really focused on these two tasks, and the others have nothing to do with them. Wu Yuexiu encountered a tough problem and remained silent.
Shao Boti stood out from the crowd, pointed at the people talking around the execution ground, and said sternly:
"Sir Shao, since the emperor came to the throne, he has only mentioned the word 'people' in his political policies. A few days ago, in the comment and reply memorial, there were also words such as 'The order of chaos in the world is not due to changes in the system, but to the joy and sorrow of all people.'" -
- This prisoner on death row shouted 'Unjust case in Tianlao', if he doesn't ask what exactly he will do with the knife, where will the imperial court be placed?!"
"The Tianlao is under the supervision of the Ministry of Punishment - Master Shao, if you throw this sign away, you will be under suspicion!"
Wu Yuexiu watched Shao Boti's sonorous and powerful speech from neighboring county. He was dumbfounded and thunderous in his heart. He thought to himself: "This guy took the wrong medicine?"
In Daxing, Wanping is the county seat of the emperor. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been serious comparison in terms of taxation, population, theft and other assessment items. The relationship between the county magistrates is not easy, and the role positioning is that no one obeys the other.
.
But now Magistrate Wu secretly gave a thumbs up to Shao Boti from the neighboring county and quietly wrote the word "submit". They all read the books of sages, and Shao from the neighboring county has indeed practiced it. This is a high level~
Although Wu Yuexiu admired him, he still kept silent and waited to see how Shao Cheng would reply.
Shao Cheng stared at Shao Boti with no expression on his face. He pondered for a while and said: "According to the system, prisoners on death row can complain about their own grievances before execution. There are no stories or examples of redressing the grievances of others. Could it be that today's winter execution was because of him?
Is this sentence at the wrong time?"
"Why not leave him alone and keep the rest as normal?"
Shao Cheng listened to Shao Boti's words and said with a smile: "Leave today's example behind. From now on, people in the law enforcement field will be people who complain for others. Whether you can afford it or not is another matter, but I will suffer the consequences -
—Why did I come?"
Shao Boti saw that he was determined after eating the weight, and he also knew that Shao Cheng was the biggest in today's situation. He shook his head and said: "Since Master Shao doesn't allow it - then I will go out and listen to what Qiu Xizi said."
"Master Shao, there has never been such a rule in the law field. I don't allow it."
After Shao Boti's confrontation with him, he already knew in his heart that what Qiu Xizi shouted out must involve Shao Cheng - if not, Shao Cheng would never react like this.
Wu Yuexiu and the imperial guard officer standing aside also noticed that something was wrong with Shao Cheng, but at this time, the chief supervisor was the most powerful, and Shao Boti had already done what he was questioning, so they all remained silent.
Although Shao Cheng had the upper hand, when he saw Shao Boti hunched his neck and stared at him, his heart beat like a drum. After thinking that it was useless to talk to this stupid magistrate at this time, he sat down, picked up the ink pen, and verified
There are circles on the sign on the front.
While he was making a circle, a group of executioners dressed in red walked into the execution ground from the west. In the past, the onlookers around the execution ground would cheer and applaud, but today because Qiu Xizi shouted those few words, no one was interested in watching the excitement.
They all stared at the mat tent with eager eyes.
Shao Boti turned around and looked at the thousands of pairs of praying eyes around the execution ground. These eyes were facing the soldiers in red clothes with loaded guns. Behind the soldiers were the death row prisoners and executioners kneeling on the ground. Shao Boti knew clearly that these
What are the people praying for?
At this time, a piece of light yellow haze caused by heavy rain suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. There was a figure wearing a dragon robe, but bending down to pick up the rice and run to the warehouse - this figure was talking to the people around him.
They shouted, laughed, and ran together.
He waved his hand and summoned the county government officials he had brought over, and ordered this. Then he raised his hands to Wu Yuexiu and others, led the officials, quickly surrounded Qiu Xizi, and shouted: "This county general
Report to the Heavenly Mansion and ask for a decree. No one can kill this death row prisoner until the decree comes!"
