Chapter 42 Public Trials
Li Wenchang almost fainted. Isn't the Prime Minister greedy for money and lustful? Why is it different from what he imagined?
Isn't the Prime Minister a treacherous minister? I heard that he accepted bribes to bring harm to the people, causing unjust cases to continue, and honest people to be persecuted. They either resigned from office and went into seclusion, or joined in the corruption, or were imprisoned. After that, very few of them could still stand in the court.
The person in front of him was not the treacherous minister he imagined. No, he was not the prime minister. The prime minister would not be like him.
"This person is not the Prime Minister. This person is pretending to be the Prime Minister and has committed a heinous crime. General, you should take this person down." Li Wenchang thought that he would die now anyway. If he was not the Prime Minister, he could still live. Yes, this person is not.
Prime Minister.
"Everyone, think about it, how could the Prime Minister come here and be alone in Hengyang County? This is obviously suspicious. He is really not the Prime Minister. If you mistakenly identify the person and mistake the fish eye for a pearl, what if?
The real Prime Minister knows, General, you have to think about your future." Li Wenchang said to Li Yun unwillingly.
The Prime Minister is fake. If you make the fake Prime Minister look real, not only will the Prime Minister not be able to spare you in the future, but His Majesty will not be able to spare you either.
"You said the truth is fake?" Xie Ji said. Sure enough, people can make up anything in order to survive. He pretended to be the prime minister, but everyone knows that pretending to be a court official is a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Li Yun was also a little hesitant. Is this Prime Minister true or false? Everyone knows that the Prime Minister is a treacherous minister, and what he sees in front of him is completely different from what he knows. But it is unreasonable to say that he is not the Prime Minister.
The extraordinary popularity and composure of the man in front of him was obviously the result of being in a high position for a long time.
And this military symbol is not fake, it should be real.
"I wonder, scholar, why are you pretending to be the prime minister? Are you dissatisfied with the current prime minister? Don't you know that pretending to be the prime minister will be punished with death?" Li Wenchang denied that Xie Ji was the fake prime minister. Besides, this person actually thought that
For the benefit of the people, everyone knows that the current prime minister is a greedy and lustful person.
"Have you met the Prime Minister in the court? How can you be sure that the Prime Minister is a fake?" Xie Ji sneered, saying that this man would still refute one or two things when he was about to die.
"You are different from the Prime Minister in the eyes of the world. This is the best evidence." Everyone in the world knows that the biggest traitor today is the Prime Minister. When it comes to corruption methods, no one in the world can match him.
"World? Hahaha, you are a court official. I thought you were just a corrupt official. Now it seems that I am totally wrong. You are not only a corrupt official who ignores the people, but you are also extremely ignorant. I really don't know how you became a corrupt official."
Go to this county magistrate."
"Was it obtained by unknown means? You don't even have your own judgment. You read poems and books in vain, and three people became tigers. Don't you know the popular story? You only follow what others say, and the world says that the truth is that he is a traitor.
That’s all.”
"Don't you have your own opinion? You said that I am a treacherous minister. If I am so unworthy, how could Your Majesty appoint me as Prime Minister? According to what you said, are you mocking Your Majesty for being a foolish king who doesn't know how to recognize people?
Qing, appoint a villain?"
"Is that what you mean?" Xie Ji laughed, engaging in a verbal dispute with him. Don't you know that he is a troll in modern times?
Swearing against trolls is simply asking for trouble, not to mention that the original traitor is also very capable of swearing.
When Xie Ji said this, Li Yun thought, is it right? Does what the world says must be true? Does what the world says must be so unbearable?
Li Wenchang didn't know how to refute Xie Ji. He only knew that he was finished.
"General Li Yun, take these people down, and the truth will come to judge the crimes he committed and convince everyone." Xie Ji sighed a little. This time, as long as he brings this dog official to justice, then he
The reputation of the traitorous minister will be destroyed by itself.
Li Yun nodded, let's look at the prime minister for now, after all, the military talisman cannot be faked.
"Don't touch me. I am an official of the imperial court. He is a fake. You are all deceived by him." Li Wenchang said loudly, struggling all the time and not allowing others to touch him.
However, no matter how hard he tried, it was still in vain. He still couldn't break away from the well-trained soldiers.
In this way, Xie Ji imprisoned all these officials.
"Prime Minister, how do you want to hear the case?" Li Yun asked. He wanted to see what the prime minister would do.
"Handle it openly. The truth of this matter will be handled in the vegetable market. If you want to wait and see, you can come and have a look. See if the truth is the traitor they say?" This is a good opportunity. As long as he is selfless and handles it in accordance with the law,
Naturally, it can change people's views on him.
The yamen is too small to be open to the public, and people will not come because they are afraid of officials. Then he will lose the opportunity to improve his reputation, and this opportunity cannot be missed.
"What if there is someone else with bad intentions?" He didn't know if the trial case was held in the vegetable market, but he knew that something unexpected happened.
"The general would put the truth in danger?" Xie Ji smiled lightly. He went out alone before, but now there are so many soldiers guarding him, is he still afraid?
Li Yun now has a good impression of Xie Ji. Not only did this prime minister not be condescending to him, but he also talked to him so much. You must know that those literati looked down on him. He met more people. This was the first time he met a prime minister like Xie Ji.
.
What's more, that sentence also showed his trust in himself. As a military attaché, he naturally wanted his abilities to be recognized. If even the prime minister could be killed under his nose, then he might as well just resign.
"Hey, have you heard that the traitor is going to bring the county magistrate to justice in the market later?"
"What are you talking about about that treacherous minister? Bah, bah, bah, bah! What kind of kindness does that traitor have? Will he go to the vegetable market and drive us all away?"
"I heard that the county magistrate's case will be tried in public, so that the world can be convinced."
"How credible are the words of those officials? They are still trying cases. I think they are obviously complicit." A scholar wearing scholar's clothes said disdainfully. He had long recognized the true face of those dog officials. They were not just officials protecting each other, but also trying cases.
The case is to help those who are ignorant.
"I heard that someone saw the traitor jailing the county magistrate with his own eyes and called the magistrate a dog."
"That's just dog biting dog. There are no good officials. Maybe the county magistrate offended the traitor." The scholar retorted. Only this reason is the most reasonable. Those officials attacked each other in order to fight for power and gain. The county magistrate
, maybe he offended that treacherous minister somewhere, but that's fine, that county magistrate was not a good official to begin with, and he was just like the treacherous minister.
He was originally born into a scholarly family and had read the books of sages, but he failed to get on the list every time he took the scientific examination. And those who got on the list were either prime ministers or Wang Taifu. Anyway, there was no real talent like him.
A place for the material.
"However, I heard that the traitor specially cleared a space in order to hear the case in the vegetable market. Now those officers and soldiers are sweeping the market from top to bottom with brooms. This is a lot of officers and soldiers."
"Who dares to go to the vegetable market now? If you are not careful, you will be killed by those officials. That treacherous official did not even give us a way to survive and occupied the vegetable market. How can we, the common people, live!"
"How about we go and take a look." The scholar was very disdainful of the Prime Minister, but that didn't stop him from being a little curious about what the traitor was up to. He actually tried the case in public and made it known to everyone.
But since the traitor has been made public, wouldn't he be sorry for the traitor's hard work if he didn't go and see what he was doing?
"Brother Mountain Man, if you want to go and see him, what should you do if you accidentally offend that traitorous minister?" The people around him are all scholars and their family backgrounds are average. They are considered very good here, otherwise they would not be chatting here.
The scholar who was called Shanmin was named Xu Bin, also known as Shanmin.
"Don't worry, it took a lot of effort to see the traitor. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to see him." Xu Bin was not worried about his safety at all. He was now curious about the public trial. Even the Qingming officials were curious about it.
I don't dare to play like this, but that traitor actually dares.
That's right, his reputation is already what it is, it doesn't matter if it gets darker.
