Yanjing City, which was already very lively, is completely boiling this time.

Things like Uncle Qi and Xiao Lei don't happen too often.

Yanjing City, which was originally very lively, is now completely boiling.

"What? Really killed several big corrupt officials?"

"I thought this time, like before, it was just a formality, so I didn't go. It's a pity."

"It's not too late to go now, maybe we can catch up."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

Outside the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhu Han had their heads beheaded by Zhu Han, along with those little fellows from the six departments.

However, as the positions of those officials who interrogated became higher and higher, the problems gradually increased.

Moreover, many people still have many old cases that have accumulated over the years. If those cases are to be tried, they cannot be resolved in a short time.

Zhu Han didn't want to waste time on such things.

Rolling his eyes, he soon had an idea.

He beckoned directly, asked his guards to come over, and whispered orders.

Inside the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Liu Song and Xu Da were still watching the excitement.

Suddenly, one of Zhu Han's guards walked in quietly.

First he bowed to the two of them, and finally said respectfully: "Master Liu, the prince ordered that you go and interrogate those officials who have not yet been interrogated."

"After the interrogation is over, hand over the corresponding documents to the prince, who will interrogate himself."

After a pause, the guard added: "My lord also said that the time is tight and the task is heavy, so I ask Mr. Liu to interrogate the case as soon as possible."

"Moreover, all cases must have conclusive evidence. A bad person cannot be spared, and a good person cannot be wronged."

The expression on Xu Da's face was very exciting. This guy, Qi Wu, is still the same as before, he will kill anyone if he catches someone.

He was in charge of the final verdict and received the worship of the common people.

But Liu Song had no choice but to work hard behind the scenes to try the case.

After the trial, the benefits are not as much as him.

If there is a problem in the interrogation, he will be asked to take the blame.

"Master Liu..." Xu Da patted Liu Song's shoulder sympathetically, "You...you can ask for blessings."

Although he sympathized with Liu Song, for Xu Da, Zhu Han had a closer relationship with him.

Therefore, Xu Da would not make things difficult for Zhu Han in order to help Liu Song.

Originally, Xu Da thought that after hearing the news, Liu Song would be very angry, or the atmosphere.

After all, Zhu Han dumped all the dirty work on him.

To Xu Da's surprise, there was no expression of displeasure on Liu Song's face at all.

Instead, he stood up with a calm face: "The humble minister takes orders!"

Not only was there no anger, Xu Da even felt that Liu Song seemed a little eager to try.

After Liu Song left, Xu Da couldn't help laughing and said, "This Liu Song, Mr. Liu, is really a fool."

Despite what he said, Xu Da's eyes were full of appreciation for Liu Song.

Liu Song acted very quickly, and within a quarter of an hour, the interrogation had already begun.

Can be selected by Zhu Han, Liu Song is certainly not the kind of person who has no other advantages besides honesty.

This guy is able to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, relying on his own ability.

It's not the so-called officials of the later generations who are grandstanding, but really capable people.

In many cases, Liu Song didn't even need too much physical evidence, and didn't use torture. He just relied on reasoning to make those criminals bow their heads and plead guilty.

Zhu Han had only interrogated a few, and Liu Song had already sent a case file.

Turning over in boredom, Zhu Han was so shocked that he almost cried out.

"I rely on, this is also OK?"

Although Zhu Han knew that Liu Song was very capable, he did not expect him to be so powerful.

The officials who were interrogated by Liu Song in this file felt that they wished to tell Liu Song clearly the color of their underwear.

The crimes he committed over the years, even embezzling a tael of silver, are clearly shown in the file.

Zhu Han didn't find it strange that they could confess to these petty crimes.

But many crimes, as long as you confess, it is a capital crime.

Under such circumstances, they would still confess?

For a moment, Zhu Han wanted to see how Liu Song interrogated the prisoner.

While Zhu Han was thinking, Li Yunxi's crisp voice sounded: "My lord, this person embezzled 60 taels of silver."

Zhu Han nodded slightly: "Okay, let's just cut it off."

That's right, in the Ming Dynasty, as long as officials embezzled 60 taels of silver, they were directly sentenced to death.

Although in the later generations of Ming Dynasty, this Great Ming law has long been useless, and it seems too strict.

But Zhu Han felt that the existence of this law was very necessary.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was not persuaded to change this law.

These officials enjoy the most benefits of Ming Dynasty and bear the same risks. It's only natural, isn't it?

You can't let them corrupt unscrupulously like the later generations of Ming Dynasty, right?
Of course, governing the country cannot be blindly strict.

While enacting such harsh laws, Zhu Han also asked his eldest brother to adjust the salaries of officials upwards.

And it will turn over the tax situation of the imperial court and make corresponding adjustments.

It will never happen. In the early Ming Dynasty, the salary was barely passable. In the middle and late period, if an official was not corrupt, he would not even be able to survive.

"My lord, please forgive me this time, and I will never dare to do it again." After hearing Zhu Han's verdict, the official begged for mercy weeping.

However, all he got in return for his begging was ridicule.

"After embezzling so much money, and still have the face to beg for mercy, these officials simply have no sense of shame."

"When you were corrupt, you should have thought that this day would come."

"Long live the prince! You corrupt officials, go to death."

Amid the people's abuse, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army carried the official who was desperately begging for mercy, and strode away in the direction of the execution ground.

After dealing with so many corrupt officials in a row, the morale of the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army has also risen unprecedentedly, and their backs seem to be straighter than usual.

After a few more cases were tried, a leader of the Black Cavalry Army suddenly approached Xu Da: "General... I'm afraid the brothers are a little bit overwhelmed, and I ask the general to send more people as soon as possible."

Compared with other titles, Xu Da still hopes that his soldiers can call him a general.

Seeing the seriousness on the commander's face, as if he didn't seem to be joking, Xu Da was a little puzzled: "When you were asked to fight before, I never saw you screaming and crying too tired."

"Now I just ask you to maintain law and order, don't let those people mess up, you can't hold on anymore?"

Hearing this, the leader of the Black Cavalry Army said with a wry smile, "My lord, I really don't blame the brothers, there are really too many people at the scene."

"General, this is what the prince ordered. Brothers, no one dares to be negligent. It's just that no one expected that there will be so many people."

The leader of the Black Cavalry Army mentioned the large number of people twice in a row.

Xu Da also had to pay attention to it, and stood up directly and walked outside the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice: "I want to see how many people can make you so difficult."

"Give me all the black cavalry troops. If it's not enough, don't you still have those imperial forest troops? Those gentlemen have nothing to do. Let them all maintain law and order."

Xu Da, who was originally very confident, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the crowds of people on the street outside: "How could there be so many people?"

At a glance, the streets are full of black heads.The originally spacious street has been completely filled with the flow of people at this time.

This is not finished.

Xu Da could still clearly see that there were still many common people gathering towards the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

"This is... Could it be that all the people in Yanjing City will come to the Ministry of Punishment?" Xu Da muttered to himself.

Facing these common people, the feeling of being huge is more terrifying than facing enemies that are ten times, or even a hundred times larger than this number.

After all, no matter how cruel the enemy is, it is only a matter of killing and being killed.

The big deal is death.

After fighting the world for so many years, Xu Da and the others are already used to life and death, so it's no big deal.

But the situation in front of him still made his scalp tingle.

There were already enough people before, but now at first glance, I am afraid that there are several times more people than before.

"You, you, you, you!" Xu Da hurriedly called someone over: "Go to the Imperial Forest Army immediately, tell them to come over immediately, and help us maintain law and order."

"In addition, transfer the new barracks of our Black Cavalry Army and let them work together."

"Listen to me, you must keep your spirits up to 12 points, and if there is any problem, I will ask for you."

Xu Da arranged the guard work in a hurry, and he didn't forget to let Zhu Han know the situation.

Zhu Han was a bit of an eyesore: "What's going on?"

Although he launched this public trial meeting, the purpose is to let the people of Yanjing City see it.

The previous turmoil had somewhat damaged the credibility of the imperial court.

One of the purposes of Zhu Han holding the public trial conference is to restore the court's credibility.

At the same time, there is another layer of effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

In order to tell the officials on Yingtian's side.

You all be honest with me, if you come to Yanjing in the future, if you are still like these people, then you should be careful of your own heads.

People of all ages like to join in the fun.

It's just that Zhu Han never thought that he could attract so many people.

He really wanted to ask those common people, are you really so free?
But until now, Zhu Han has no good solution, he can only hope that Xu Da can hold on.

If this really caused any trouble, everything he had done before would be in vain.

This public trial, from the rising sun to the scorching sun.

Finally, the Golden Crow sinks to the west, and the Jade Rabbit rises to the east.

What Zhu Han really did was not much.

Those who maintained the law and order at the scene were the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army.

It was Li Yunxi who checked the accounts, and it was Liu Song who actually tried the case.

The role of his real prayer is actually a mascot.

But after sitting here for a whole day, Zhu Han, who was drinking tea, felt that his pee was almost like tea.

The hard chair hurt his buttocks.

The skeletons all over his body seemed to be falling apart.

Several times, Zhu Han couldn't help but want to directly announce the end of the public trial.

But looking at the expectant eyes of the people around him, Zhu Han couldn't say the words to end the public trial.

He can have it, why are the people so excited.

The people in this land are really bullied by these bureaucrats.

It is undeniable that among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, there are indeed Liu Song who serve the country and the people.

However, such people are only a minority after all.

Otherwise, Hai Rui would not be so famous in later generations.

It has been suppressed for a long time, and the common people don't know how much resentment they have accumulated towards these personnel.

We didn't dare to say more about them in the past.

Today, when they see those corrupt officials who are domineering and corrupt officials are really punished, their past resentment has completely exploded.

As long as they can see these people and receive the punishment they deserve, they are willing to do whatever they want.

For these people, all this is like a dream, and they don't want this dream to wake up.

If it was anything else, Zhu Han didn't care at all.

However, facing the earnest eyes of these people, Zhu Han had no strength to resist.

"Okay, since you want to see it, then I will accompany you to see it to the end."

Zhu Han suddenly shouted loudly: "Come here, hold the lamp!"

At the same time, they also sent someone to tell Xu Da to let the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army rest and eat in batches, and get ready to fight all night.

Regarding this, Xu Da just curled his lips in disdain: "I still need this kid to order, I am the chief general of the Black Cavalry Army, of course I will not let my soldiers work on an empty stomach."

In this way, until the third watch of the interrogation, the number of civilians outside the Ministry of Punishment finally decreased visibly with the naked eye.

After all, there are no lights in this era, so many people are used to going to bed early.

Other things they can endure, but this sleepiness is not so easy to endure.

What's more, they also realized that the court was really serious this time.

Regardless of whether they look at it or not, those corrupt officials will definitely not escape the law.

Therefore, the eagerness to see those corrupt officials being punished gradually faded away.

Knowing this time, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army finally had a chance to rest.

Many of the Black Cavalry soldiers with strict military discipline even lay directly on the ground.

In this regard, those officers did not act like they used to. They just whipped them and drove them up.

After all, not only the ordinary soldiers, but even the officers whose houses collapsed were so tired that they wished they could fall asleep.

Seeing that there were not many people outside the Ministry of Punishment, Zhu Han held up the gavel: "Retire!"

After that, I sat there for a long time without moving.

Zhu Han's guards looked at each other with several Black Cavalry soldiers.

I don't know what my prince is going to do.

"What are you doing standing there, why don't you hurry up and help me get up!"

It turned out that he had been sitting for too long, and his body was too stiff to move.
