Chapter 424 Public Trial
Not all of Feng Laohu's properties have been swept away, there is one place where Su Jin not only did not go to seal it, but instead sent someone to guard it in case someone attacked and smashed it, and that place was the Red Shadow Pavilion.
After Feng Jingyao was arrested last night, Mi Hua from the Red Shadow Pavilion was going to visit, but it was a mess at the time, and it was busy until the second half of the night, so Su Jin Wen persuaded Mi Hua to wait first, and then visit when he was a little calmer, and even the interrogation had not yet begun, and the contact between the prisoner and outsiders was contrary to the legal procedure.
In the early afternoon of the 9th of the first month, the trial, which was supposed to begin in the morning, was belatedly begun because the envoy was busy with other tasks.
Since this trial was a major event that the people of Yangzhou City paid attention to, in order to show the justice of the law, Song Zhen and Su Jin decided to allow the people to observe; In this way, the hall of the government office is too narrow, so he set up a high platform on the square of the government office, and arranged a temporary public hall.
On the stage, Song Zhen sat in the middle, Su Jin placed the table case on the side, and was in the position of jury, this is also the rule, it is natural for the prefect of Yangzhou to preside over the trial, of course Su Jin can't occupy the magpie's nest in front of the public, although Song Zhen has repeatedly asked Su Jin to preside over the trial, but Su Jin will never do such a stupid thing; It is not a question of who will preside over the trial, the question is to bring Feng Jingyao to justice, which is the most important thing.
Before the time came, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the horses' hooves were obtained on the passage lined up by the soldiers in the northwest, and the fifty-member team of the guards Sima Jun rode a high-headed horse, escorting Feng Jingyao, who was wrapped in shackles and chains all over his body, slowly arrived; The crowd was a little uneasy, some people began to throw debris on Feng Jingyao, who was slowly coming, people were not afraid to attack this vicious snake that had been entrenched on their heads in the past with the most vicious curses, some people were emotional, broke through the barrier of the box soldiers and rushed up to spit at Feng Jingyao, the forbidden army and the soldiers of the box army were busy shouting loudly, and the scene was chaotic.
Song Zhen's face was a little unhappy, and in front of the public, Song Zhen, who had always put order and majesty first, could not tolerate these chaotic behaviors, so he calmly commanded Pan Jiang who was standing at the entrance of the stage.
Pan Jiang turned to the audience and said loudly: "Fellow fathers and villagers in Yangzhou, the Lord of the Mansion has an order, and your emotions are understandable, but this is above the court, if anyone dares to behave unjustified, they will be punished for the crime of roaring in the court; If there is a grievance or a grudge, it is necessary to file a complaint in accordance with the rules, and it is not allowed to commit radical acts against the passer-by. ”
The crowd didn't seem to buy it, and some people kept rushing out and cursing and spitting at Feng Jingyao, and some people even kicked and slapped them twice.
Pan Jiang said angrily: "You didn't hear it, did you? When anyone comes, he will be served with a long whip, and whoever does not obey the order will be whipped twenty times to make an example. ”
The soldiers took out their leather whips and whipped at the people who rushed out, and the people who rushed out were holding their heads and running around, and the scene was even more chaotic.
Su Jin couldn't sit still, got up and said to Song Zhen: "Today is the day when the people raise their eyebrows, how can they beat the people?" ”
Song Zhen spread his hands and said, "So what?" How can such a messy and unruly case be adjudicated? ”
Su Jin said: "Then there is no need for this, just one sentence can stabilize the situation, and beating the people is not the solution." ”
Song Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "Envoy Su has a good plan, why do you still sit idly by?" ”
Su Jin secretly scolded a fool, he didn't have the ability to blame me, and he didn't bother with him, a nerd, got up and walked to the stage, and said loudly: "Stop!" It is forbidden to beat the people. ”
The soldiers were even more in awe of Su Jin than the Song prefect, and when they heard the words, they hurriedly stopped, Su Jin hugged his fists and said to the crowded people in the audience: "Fathers and fellow villagers, listen to my Su Jin's words." ”
The noisy and angry people suddenly fell silent, Su Qingtian still had some weight in their minds, so they reminded each other and calmed down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the prefect of Song and the envoy originally set up a public trial hall on the palace square in order to allow everyone to witness the trial process of the culprit Feng Jingyao; But with all of you so emotional, how can you ensure that the trial will go ahead as usual? We all hope that the culprit Feng Jingyao can be brought to justice as soon as possible, but if you make such a fuss, this public trial will have to be canceled, and once the public trial is canceled, you will not have the opportunity to see the culprit in person. Su Jin glanced at the audience and said loudly.
The people were dumbfounded, the adults who harmed the people canceled the public trial, wouldn't it be against the original intention, the hated person had to watch him be exterminated with his own eyes to eliminate the hatred in his heart, if he couldn't see it, there would always be some regrets in his heart.
Everyone complained to each other, accusing each other of being irrational, Su Jin saw this and said loudly: "From now on, you only need to strictly abide by the order of the lobby to ensure the normal conduct of the public trial, I will discuss it with Song Fuzun, and maybe it can continue." ”
The people hurriedly shouted: "Lord Envoy, I can't wait to make trouble, we just hate this evil tiger too much......
"Su Qingtian, you can't cancel the public trial, my family's revenge has not been avenged, and I am still waiting to see this fang-and-lie law."
"Lord Su, we must abide by the rules of the lobby, and please continue with the Lord......"
Su Jin smiled and arched his hand to the audience and said: "Thank you for your reasonable actions, even so, the public trial continues, you are silent to watch, if there is an uproar, the soldiers will fork it out at any time, because the words have reached such a point, and those who still do not listen to the advice and make noise will be Feng Jingyao's party." ”
Everyone was frightened, the hat of the envoy was buttoned big enough, and in the uproar was Feng Jingyao's fellow party, who could afford it, under the combination of grace and power, the audience was suddenly silent.
Su Jin nodded with satisfaction and said to Pan Jiang: "Commander Pan, go on." ”
Pan Jiang nodded, and shouted at the guards of the Ma Army on the northwest passage of Taiwan: "Take someone to the court!" ”
The officials and soldiers standing on the front desk shouted in unison: "Mighty ......!" ”
The formation of the guards and horses spread out, pushing out Feng Jingyao, who was protecting inside, and under the escort of the horse team, the two catchers, half-pulled and half-dragged Feng Jingyao, who was difficult to move, to the high platform.
Feng Jingyao stood on the stage with a calm expression and indifferent eyes, as if everything had nothing to do with him, and several chains were densely wound around his body, it was obvious that Pan Jiang was afraid of this person's strong martial arts and was afraid that something would go wrong, so he tied him up like a zongzi.
Song Zhen held up and smashed on the desk with a startled sound, and shouted in a deep voice: "Whoever is next, report your name." ”
Feng Jingyao didn't even raise his eyelids, ignored Song Zhen, and just stared at Su Jin fiercely from the corner of his eye.
"Are you deaf?" The head of the official squad shouted loudly.
Feng Jingyao raised his eyes slightly, looked at Song Zhen with his eyes like a blade, and said coldly: "Governor Song is so pedantic, don't you know the old man?" actually asked my name, you want to show off your official authority, but the old man won't give you a chance to be a stupid person. ”
Song Zhen said angrily: "Feng Jing Yao, he is so domineering, he has become a prisoner of the lower ranks, and he still speaks wildly, what is the law? ”
Feng Jingyao sneered: "The official government has a big mouth, what do you want to say about it." ”
Song Zhen shouted: "Seeing that this mansion is still so arrogant, kneel down for this mansion." ”
Feng Jingyao ignored it, and a servant stepped forward and kicked him in the leg, Feng Jingyao didn't move at all, and the servant's foot kicked on the chain, holding his foot in pain and only inhaling cold air.
Seeing this, Pan Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his feet and kicked it, Feng Jingyao's body shook, still immovable; Pan Jiang was furious, raised his foot and was about to kick again, Su Jin hurriedly beckoned him to come over, whispered a few words, pointed his finger at Feng Jingyao's leg, Pan Jiang's eyes glanced at the place where Su Jin was pointing, and with a strange smile on his face, he stepped forward and kicked on the side of Feng Jingyao's thigh, Feng Jingyao screamed, and fell to his knees.
Everyone wondered, only to see red blood flowing from Feng Jingyao's trousers, it turned out that the location pointed by Su Jin was the wound on the leg that Feng Jingyao was shot by the dynasty when he was arrested on the north peak of Shugang Mountain last night; Although it has been treated, the wound is just wrapped in medicine, this foot goes up, and it suddenly hurts to the heart, Feng Jingyao is already exhausted, relying on martial arts to support it, how can there be a reason not to be weak when caught off guard.
I don't know that I thought that Pan Jiang's legs and feet were strong, and I knew that I was naturally a little embarrassed, so that the adult was really damn bad, and instructed Pan Jiang to kick the arrow wound, this kid is too poisonous.
Su Jin didn't care, and said in his heart: If you know what Feng Jingyao has done, you will know that the master is kind to him, and it is a big joke that you still tell him mercy when dealing with the man-eating tiger.
