Chapter 51: Bamboo Difficult to Book
At this time, there were crowds of people in the square. Wu Kui shouted on the stage: "Dear Shunchang Prefecture people! This time, Lujiazhuang and others have been hurt by them. As long as I can have evidence, I, Wu Kui, will make the decision for you."
As soon as Wu Kui's words came out, the crowd below was in a state of great enthusiasm. Bao Zheng did not expect that so many people hated the people in Lujiazhuang. It seemed that these people were so unforgivable.
At this time, a row of prison carts slowly drove up under the escort of officers and soldiers. The crowd was excited, and many people began to shout loudly to these evil people. The crowd was surging. If it weren't for the officers and soldiers, Liu Jiwen and the people in Lujiazhuang would have been trampled to death by the people.
Even if Liu Jiwen was a playboy, he couldn't help but be frightened when he saw so many ordinary people coming to denounce him. Wu Kui asked the officers and soldiers to bring all the people to the stage and kneeled down in a row. Bao Zheng's eyes were sharp, but he saw a brother Bai Jincheng taking the lead in throwing a rotten egg. This caused a thousand waves. In a blink of an eye, thousands of rotten eggs greeted the group of people, and some even threw stones. Lu Zhanyuan was hit by a flying stone, and his forehead was immediately beaten to blood. At this time, a group of old farmers selling rotten eggs were smiling at this time, and their eggs were sold out in a blink of an eye.
Bao Zheng was worried that if this kind of trouble would continue, the prisoners would be beaten to death. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Dear people, everyone, calm down. This time we are going to publicly interrogate these evil people. I know that they have been bullying men and women for a long time. Today, you are talking freely and telling all the sins you suffered in the past. The government will record them one by one."
Bao Zheng cannot let this group of prisoners be killed just like this. He wants to have a miraculous effect of killing one and warning a hundred. Only by borrowing the power of the masses, it will be much easier to compete with the forces behind Liu Jiwen and Lujiazhuang. Bao Zheng knew that Lujiazhuang and Liu Jiwen were just small soldiers and shrimps. He severely punished Liu Jiwen today. If he entered the capital, there would definitely be more corrupt officials. The bully and powerful officials would fight him. He must make enough capital this time, and this capital is the hearts of the people!
As soon as Bao Zheng finished speaking, everyone in the audience became excited. Countless people howled strangely.
"Master Qingtian! I want to sue Liu Jiwen forcibly occupying my wife."
"Master Qingtian! I want to sue the people from Lujiazhuang who occupied my family's land."
"Master Qingtian! I want to sue the people from Lujiazhuang forcibly snatch my daughter, and they were all killed in the end,,,,"
,,,,,,,
At this time, there were angry accusations in the audience. Many people said sadness, and they all lay on the ground and howled and cried. Perhaps in the Song Dynasty, they had been suppressed for too long, and justice had never stood on the side of the strong, and they had nowhere to appeal. Perhaps this is why in ancient times, there were always various uprisings. Water could carry boats, but could also overturn the boats, and people's opinions could not be vented. Then they either broke out in silence or died in silence.
Today, Bao Zheng set a precedent, allowing the people's depression to be vented today. The people who have been oppressed for a long time in the audience all burst out with anger, sadness and hatred.
Bao Zheng and Wu Kui were standing on the stage at this time, looking at the people below the stage with tears in their faces, listening to them telling the past of the separation of their wives and children, the family was destroyed, and the miserable people were tragic. Bao Zheng listened and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet. Wu Kui also had tears in his eyes at this time, and he said passionately: "Today everyone will tell you all the dissatisfaction with these evil people! The government sent someone to record your words."
Wu Kui immediately pointed to more than a dozen officials who could write in the yamen. They placed a desk on the lower part of the stage and wrote quickly. After each of them told the accusation, Bao Zheng asked someone to press his handprints on a long silk book made of Wanmin. Looking at the secret handprints on Wanmin's book, Bao Zheng couldn't help but sigh that Liu Jiwen and Lu Zhanyuan really committed the crime that was hard to write.
More than a dozen people kept waving their pens, sweating profusely. Even so, they were still too busy. Bao Zheng and Wu Kui finally joined. It was not until the night fell that the crowd began to calm down. Many people who were not on the turn of accusation were actually planning to queue up here for the night. Bao Zheng's dozen people were almost broken at this time. He was really tired and then he took away the paper and pen and asked the people to continue coming tomorrow.
Liu Jiwen and others were taken back to the cell in a daze at this time. Liu Jiwen was very clear-headed. When he saw everything in front of him, he knew that Bao Zheng's move was extremely vicious. Even if his father was the king of heaven, he could not save himself. Liu Jiwen and Lu Zhanyuan were really doing many evil things and took it upon themselves!
Wu Kui arranged for Bao Zheng, Zhang Yuxi, Dong Xianxian, Sun Ling'er, Bao Yi and Bai Yutang to rest in his house. Bai Jincheng had too many brothers and lived in the surrounding inns. Although Bai Jincheng was a man in the martial arts world, he was not a bandit and strong man, and Wu Kui would not make things difficult for them.
Bao Zheng lived in the Wu Mansion and was treated warmly. Before he knew it, it was already late at night and everything returned to quiet.
The night was charming, and the moon was on the branches. Bao Zheng was waiting for Zhang Yuxi, and Dong Xianxian and others had already fallen asleep, walking alone in the backyard of Wu Kui's mansion. Bao Zheng stood under the locust tree in the courtyard, looked up at the moon, and felt mixed feelings. Unexpectedly, it was only a short period of time to travel to the Song Dynasty. This period of time was even more exciting than his life in the 21st century. He experienced his first marriage in his life and almost entered the gates of hell. Now he is even asking for tens of thousands of people. Bao Zheng only felt like he was in a dream. At this time, although Bao Zheng looked as quiet as the moon, his mood was even more exciting than the sea.
Bao Zheng couldn't help but look at the moon and sighed:
I invite the moon to the sky to make my heart sound, and my heart is clear and upright.
Hold on to the green mountains and do not relax, and the roots are originally in the broken rocks.
Thousands of blows are still strong, no matter how winds are east, west, south and north.
Don’t be afraid of being broken, but keep your innocence in the world.
Bao Zheng's ancient poem was originally what he thought, but he unknowingly made the bad habit of revising ancient famous poems.
After Bao Zheng finished speaking, there was a burst of applause behind him. Bao Zheng looked back and saw Wu Kui standing behind him.
Wu Kui smiled and said, "Brother Bao's seven-character charity is really heart-wrenching, which makes me admire him very much. Brother Bao has such great ambitions in his heart, no wonder Lord Kou also refers you as his confidant. I, Wu Kui, are the most hero in this body. Wu Kui met Brother Bao today, and I deeply felt that we were very co-starring. Wu Kui has also become a good official who pleads for the people in this life."
Bao Zheng smiled and replied: "Brother Wu Kui was successful at a young age. He was already a parent official at a young age. If you want to achieve your wish, you can do it as long as you have a flash of thoughts in your mind. Brother Wu Kui has the ambition to plead for the people. It seems that he must have been born in ordinary people before and knows the sufferings of the people."
Wu Kui shook his head and said, "My father is the censor of the court. However, he is old and has retired and returned home. Although I was not born in a commoner's family, my father has always warned me throughout his life: As an official, you must ask for your orders for the people. I, Wu Kui, entered the official position to implement the teachings of my father."
Bao Zheng couldn't help but admire Wu Kui. Unexpectedly, a young man from the official family not only did not have the slightest slightest style of a playboy, but also had a noble character. It is rare in ancient and modern times. Bao Zheng clasped his fist and said, "Brother Wu Kui, I feel that I am very close to you. Today, the bright moon is high and the sky is clear, so why don't we just point to this bright moon and become sworn brothers. What do you think of Brother Wu Kui?"
Wu Kui patted Bao Zheng on the shoulder and smiled: "Brother Bao! Actually, I have done this for a long time!"
