the next day.

"quiet!"

Yang Xin yelled with a slap in the arbor.

At this time, he was sitting upright under the drum tower, but in order to facilitate others to see him from below, he also put an additional one-meter-high wooden platform under his feet. He was wearing a flying fish suit, wearing a hat and a helmet, with a golden mask on his face, and a strange murderous aura lying on his desk.

Accompanied by his roar, the crowds below were silent in an instant.

Everyone looked up to him with fear.

This guy who made Nanjing chaotic in just one day has left a deep impression on the people of this city. Similarly, the legends about him that had begun to be silent have surged in this city like mud and sand stirring under the water again.

So people finally remembered that the guy in front of them was not just a Jinyiwei.

He is also a killer with an official number of more than 500 beheadings and has been rumored by the people. He killed the number one general of the Ming Dynasty who was still afraid to come out of the mountain by one. A legendary sword weighing 120 kilograms is incomprehensible on the battlefield. He runs faster than a horse through a hundred kilograms of armor, and is even likely to be magic, and of course it is also a non-human who is a magical magic.

This is really a murderous person.

This is what can stop the night crying among Jiannu!

"Take a prisoner!"

He shouted majesticly.

Because of the mask, his voice had a mixed effect.

And the louder the sound, the more obvious it is. After all, the sound wave first hits the forged steel that is seven millimeters thick, and will definitely reflect and then mix with the one behind him.

In short, his voice is still very intimidating.

The soldiers of the bandit army who had been waiting on the back steps immediately dragged Ye Maocai and Mr. Lin over. Today is their public trial meeting. Since we have to provoke, we must be in the most brutal way. Nothing can make a senator of Donglin Academy even more brutal in public. There are tens of thousands of spectators attracted by us below, and the number is still increasing. The city is home to at least two million people, which is currently the largest and most prosperous city in the world.

Truly unparalleled.

After all, the population of this city is comparable to that of half England.

And in this era of lack of entertainment, a public trial will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention.

The unlucky Ye Maocai and Mr. Lin were taken to the trial table under countless eyes. Old man Ye was not tortured here. After all, he was old and could easily die suddenly. He was beaten by Yang Xin a few times, but Mr. Lin was completely bruised and injured, but not all of them were tortured. He calculated carefully that he was just arrested yesterday morning, and most of the injuries on his body were beaten by He Jing and others.

"The criminals Ye Maocai and Lin Wenyuan are the masterminds who are the assassination of the imperial envoy Yan Shenggong, killing fourteen Jinyiwei, and colluding with Japanese pirates to attack Qingliu Pass, killing fifty-six official troops, and twenty-two soldiers of the bandit army. Can you two confess your guilt?"

Yang Xin shouted majesticly.

"If you want to add a crime, why not worry about it?"

Ye Maocai sneered.

"I am only a village official, over 60 years old, and for many years I have only taught and educated people. Everyone knows what kind of person I am. Yang Qianshi wants to kill him, but I am only owed a death in this life, so why bother so much!"

He continued.

"Mr. Yishi is innocent!"

"You have no choice but to be guilty of your crime!"

...

The shouts below immediately rang out.

"Bring the loudest one over here!"

Yang Xin pointed to a worm indignant below and said.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the bandit army who maintained order from below brought the man up. The young scholar who was only about twenty years old stood proudly beside Ye Maocai and looked at Yang Xin.

"What's your name?"

Yang Xin asked.

"Lu Xiangsheng, a son from Yixing County, Changzhou Prefecture!"

The scholar said.

"Well!"

Yang Xin's face twitched under his mask.

"I am using the law as the criterion for the case. Whether he is guilty or not depends on evidence. Whether he is guilty or not is guilty is not right to assert. However, since you regard him as a gentleman and as a disciple, I will give you a favor outside the law and allow you to defend him. This official is here to be supervised by the people so as not to say that he is framed and framed later. However, since it is an interrogation, no one is allowed to interfere with the interrogation. You can turn around and ask the following people who also believe that Ye Maocai is not guilty and agree that you will defend him on their behalf.

If they all agree, then you will be his defense attorney from now on.

Others must shut up, and if any person disturbs the interrogation, they will be punished for misconduct."

He said immediately.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him with some surprise.

Obviously, he didn't expect this notorious treacherous minister to be so reasonable.

However, he bowed and turned around and asked. The green insects below probably knew him. The accents of them should be from Changzhou, and probably from Donglin Academy. This was the next afternoon. If someone had passed the Yima relay yesterday, they could send the news to Changzhou before dark, and then some students who could ride horses rushed overnight and arrived at this time.

It's just two hundred miles.

These greenworms quickly made a decision and agreed to defend Lu Xiangsheng from Ye Maocai.

At this time, there was actually no defense system similar to lawyers. There were only lawyers who represented the lawsuit and acted on the litigation through behind-the-scenes activities, but they could not really participate in the trial, and had a low status and a bad reputation. They were the kind of unsuccessful scholars who had no hope for the imperial examination, had many acquaintances in the government, and were well-versed in legal loopholes.

To be precise, it is a lawsuit.

Yang Xin's defense of allowing Lu Xiang to be promoted to Ye Maocai was considered a precedent.

"Then I'll ask you first, what do you do if he has the true evidence?"

Yang Xin asked.

"Mr. Leisurely would never do such a thing."

Lu Xiangsheng said with certainty.

"But what if he did?"

Yang Xin asked.

"Of course it is handled according to the law!"

Lu Xiangsheng said.

"Remember what you said."

Yang Xin said with satisfaction.

"Take He Jing and others!"

He continued.

Then He Shoujie and the officers were brought up.

"Say, what happened before Qingliu Pass that day?"

Yang Xin said.

"When you go back to Yang Qianshi, the young man was promoted by He Maocai when he was the Minister of Taichang Temple. That day, he and Lin Wenyuan suddenly arrived at Qingliu Pass. When you arrived at Qingliu Pass, you would block in front of the pass under the name of going out to welcome you, and then use the cannons on the door to kill you. The young man dared not, so they said that you were a treacherous minister. We were to eliminate traitors for the country, and also gave us 200,000 twelve votes. The young man was confused for a while and was bribed. Then your convoy arrived at the pass, and the young man did as they told him.

I just didn't expect you to be in the car.

As a result, our cannon accidentally injured the Yan Shenggong behind him.

If this matter was leaked, they forced the young man to kill all the injured Jinyiwei, and Lin Wenyuan also killed one with his own hands. Then they threatened Yan Shenggong with a knife, asking Yan Shenggong to say that he had encountered bandits, and said that even if Yan Shenggong came to Nanjing, they would have a way to make Yan Shenggong die in a bad life.

Then the matter passed.

Until you suddenly appeared in Anqing, Lin Wenyuan ran to the close and asked me to keep it secret.

He also brought a lot of wine and silver. He was afraid of death and greedy for money, so he collected the money and then drank with him. He and his servants kept rushing me and his brothers. We didn't think much about it, and he got drunk. Who would have thought about this dog drunk us, poured all the cannons and gunpowder, and then took away all our swords and guns and threw them into the woods outside, and then attracted Japanese pirates to kill us to silence us. Unfortunately, we were awakened and could only fight the Japanese pirates with bare hands.

They were almost killed.

Fortunately, Yang Qianshi took the bandits to capture us, which saved our dog's life.

Yang Qianshi, the small one deserves the sin. You will cut off the small ones and the small ones without complaints, but they are the real masterminds. The small ones cannot let these wolves and stingy things go unpunished, otherwise the small ones will be sorry for the more than fifty brothers who were killed."

He Jing cried.

The officers also spitted at Ye Maocai and the others angrily.

"You lie!"

Lu Xiangsheng roared excitedly.

"Ju Ren Lu, don't make assertions first. I have said that this official is the most proof when he is accused of the case, and this official will not be convicted just because of their testimony."

Yang Xin said with a smile.

"According to their testimony, this case also involves Japanese pirates and Yansheng Gong. I don't think there is any need to waste time on the Japanese pirates. What they confessed was that Lin Wenyuan's slaves were indeed leading the way for them. As for whom they hired them, they didn't know, because they were just carrying out the orders of the leader. Lin Wenyuan's slaves led them and arranged for ships to transport them to Chuzhou. They got off the ship outside Chuzhou City at night and raided Qingliu Pass. The official happened to take the bandit army to arrest He Jing and others.

After discovering the Japanese pirates, I immediately accelerated the pursuit.

However, because the Japanese pirates were in front and we were behind, we were unable to enter the mountain in front of them. However, when I arrived at the mountain pass, I happened to run into Lin Wenyuan and walked out of the farmhouse on the side of the road. The locals also confirmed that they went down the mountain from Qingliu Pass in the middle of the night, and hid there after going down the mountain. During this period, Lin Wenyuan also sent a monk slave to do not know what to do, and the boatman who transported these Japanese pirates could also testify that Lin Wenyuan's slave was waiting at the dock.

These domestic slaves have also confessed.

If you think you need it, these people can call them to testify.
