Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1087 The Victory of the Commoners

Outside the imperial city, the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

The stone lion in front of the gate stood out in the heavy snow, with a majestic demeanor.

The blood splashed on the lion's body and the stone floor not long ago has been washed away, and now it is covered with thick snow, without a trace.

Like a stone lion, there is heavy snow, and the world is ruthless.

However, in the cold and solemn world, there are countless people gathered here from all the streets and alleys in Chang'an City, and the crowd is passionate and full of voices!

Fang Jun was dressed in a purple official robe, standing on a desk brought by the clerks at the gate of the yamen, looking solemnly at the dark crowd standing in front of him in the heavy snow, and more and more people coming together like a confluence of rivers. common people.

The Jingzhao Mansion patrols are on guard in three steps, one post, five steps and one post, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to attack Jingzhao Mansion, or making noise among the crowd...

Just now he encouraged the common people to attack Daodefang and destroy the Yuan family mansion. If he turned around and was told to "repay him with the same way" by those insidious family members, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the world?

The snow fell more and more, and the crowd gathered more and more.

Fang Jun stood on the desk and raised his arms high.

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, thousands of people were silent, and there was only heavy snow falling between the sky and the earth.

Fang Junzhuo stood upright, and said in a loud voice: "After the trial of Jingzhao Mansion, the case of the Yuan family's murder of 81 maidservants has come to an end. The Yuan family violated nature and disregarded human life. They murdered 81 young girls in a cruel and brutal way, and then The unconscionable Chengren filled the tomb of Yuan Huaiming as a martyrdom. The evidence of this case is conclusive and indisputable. This official is on behalf of Tian Xun hunting and animal husbandry, and Jingzhao Prefecture has the sole responsibility to decide the case! Due to the circumstances of this case It is extremely serious, the means are extremely cruel, and the impact is extremely bad. Now, the Jingzhao government has sentenced the Yuan family to a fine of 81 guan to compensate the loss of the plaintiff. Two thousand miles away, the mastermind of this case, Yuan Xing, is sentenced to beheaded and executed immediately!"

The voice was clear and full of energy, and it drifted far away in the silent snowy day.

The crowd watching all around was silent for a while, and then burst into deafening cheers, the sound shook the whole field, and Chang'an City in the heavy snow seemed to be shaken by this strong cheer!

In the millennium since, has there ever been a nobleman who has been tried in this way for killing civilians?

No matter how fair its laws are, no one has ever been able to execute them fairly.

Nobles, that is, a group of beings who look down on all living beings from above. Facing the ant people in the mud, they are always life and death!

But now, right in front of his eyes, this black-faced young high-ranking official sentenced the Yuan family so impassionedly, not only to compensate each victim with a huge sum of [-] yuan, but also to send the head of the Yuan family to the army. The mastermind beheaded for public display!
Is this the victory of the law?
Or a victory for the common people?

Ordinary people don't care, they only know that "no doctor can be punished" is fart, and "the nobles break the law and the common people are the same crime" and that's fine!
Of course, after the cheers, the common people fell silent again, looking eagerly at the young man Jing Zhaoyin on the desk.

The entire prison in Chang'an City is full of people who were arrested in this incident. It is a big crime to attack Daodefang and make noise in Chang'an City. This Jing Zhaoyin even dared to enlist the head of the Yuan family and behead the children of the Yuan family. , So what kind of punishment will these common people who have committed great crimes face?
The common people are not stupid, and they probably know a little about the ways of the officialdom.

This time, the Yuan family suffered a catastrophe, how could the other aristocratic families sit idly by?

After all, this is a conflict between common people and nobles!
The Yuan family was guilty first and cannot be washed away, but it is impossible for the aristocratic family to allow a group of untouchables to destroy the Yuan family and ignore it, and revenge will inevitably follow!

Fang Jun is a good official, but in the face of strong pressure from the aristocratic family, he has to give in, and use the blood of the people to give an explanation to the furious aristocratic family!
Thinking about the methods used by this Jing Zhaoyin in the past, I am afraid that this time, the city of Chang'an will be filled with blood, and the streets in front of the West Market will be filled with heads and blood...

Fang Jun naturally knew what everyone was worried about, smiled slightly, and was about to speak.

Cheng Wuting quickly ran out of the yamen, his forehead was steaming with sweat in the heavy snow, which showed the anxiety in his heart.

Fang Jun was slightly surprised, took the letterhead that Cheng Wuting handed him, and scanned it slightly, his face became ugly.

What a Li Yifu, he dared to obey and disobey!

Fang Jun was annoyed in his heart, it's just that the matter has come to this point, he can only push the boat along the way, and settle the score with Li Yifu afterwards!
Cheng Wuting was stunned by Fang Jun's fierce stare, swallowed secretly, and took two steps back quietly, feeling regretful in his heart.It seems that Lord Hou is very angry, and regrets that he should have listened to Li Yifu's instigation and violated Lord Hou's wishes...

Taking a deep breath, Fang Jun crumpled the letter into a ball and put it in his sleeve. He smiled at the people and said in a weak voice, "All the people arrested have been interrogated by surprise. Those who prostitute themselves will be sentenced to death, and the rest will be released!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The cheers of the crowd flooded the entire Chang'an City, and the heavy snow was also frightened by the soaring joy and hovered in the sky, not daring to fall for a long time...

There is no massacre in the intention, but only to kill the chief culprit, and release the rest!
The people couldn't believe their ears...

Everyone knows that Fang Jun dared to release the arrested people, that is, he shouldered the censure and anger of the aristocratic family, and exchanged his own official career for the lives of the people!

How has such a good official been encountered since ancient times?
How lucky am I to have such an official who will surely shine in history as a parent, who can afford protection and live and work in peace and contentment?
In gratitude, some common people knelt on the ground and loudly praised Fang Jun's benevolence, and then the common people followed suit one after another.

Not long after, the square in front of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion and the streets on both sides were filled with people kneeling in the heavy snow, cheering loudly!

Fang Jun felt bitter in his heart.

According to his original intention, this incident was caused by his intention to instigate and bewitch, so he naturally refused to let those innocent people die because of it.All the crimes and the anger of the aristocratic family members are borne by him alone, even if he loses his position, he doesn't want to implicate innocent people.

However, Li Yifu's self-assessment was far beyond his expectation.

Beheading dozens of "evil chiefs" is a confession to the aristocratic family. Presumably, the aristocratic family would not dare to press Fang Jun step by step.

It is said that this way is the most correct way to calm the consequences of the situation with the least cost.

But Fang Jun extremely disapproves of this "price"...

These dozens of beheaded "chief culprits" were not innocent. While the Yuan family was under attack, these people took advantage of the chaos to annihilate women, beat, smash, steal and rob.It's just that if these crimes are placed in normal times, of course they will be punished, but most of the crimes do not deserve death. In this event with extremely serious consequences, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

The reason why Fang Jun couldn't bear it was because without his incitement, these people would not attack Daodefang, let alone burn the century-old foundation of the Yuan family. Nine out of ten children of the family died in the rioters...

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

Fang Jun is not afraid of killing people, but he is unwilling to implicate so many innocent people.

Compared with the condemnation suffered by conscience, being dismissed from office is insignificant...

*****
The Tai Chi Hall is still tense, and the atmosphere is tense.

Some people want to take the opportunity to suppress Fang Jun, and it is even better to lose his official position and dismiss him from the ranks to knock down the dust. Naturally, there are people who want to defend Fang Jun...

It has nothing to do with friendship or justice, it's just pure profit.

Those who want to knock Fang Jun into the dust and never recover do not necessarily mean that they have formed a sworn hatred with Fang Jun, and those who defend Fang Jun are not necessarily the embodiment of morality as the messenger of justice...

In politics, there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends.

In the final analysis, when the harm outweighs the benefit, the person who stabbed Fang Jun might not be a brother and brother; and when the benefit outweighs the harm to himself, there are still many people who care about Fang Jun calling his father...

When the news of Fang Jun's sentencing in front of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion spread to the Tai Chi Hall, the whole hall was shocked.

Even His Majesty Li Er was dumbfounded.

Is this kid going to heaven?
How dare you just pronounce the sentence in public like this?
Fang Jun's move first cut and then played, disrupting all the calculations of His Majesty Li Er...

His Majesty Li Er suddenly burst into anger, patted the table and shouted: "Bring this bastard to me!"
