Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 193 202 Absurd Reasons

After recognizing Li Shimin, the eyeballs of Shen Ding and the others almost fell out, and they naturally forgot to salute for a while.

Zuo Ming, on the other hand, suddenly came to his senses, and the bloody long knife in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

As for Di Renjie, Wang Siyan and Li Lizhi, their heads were so muddled that they even lost the ability to speak.

Seeing their appearance, the unknown people and officials immediately guessed Li Shimin's identity.Their first guess was Wang Gui, but then they vetoed it themselves, because Wang Gui couldn't be so young.Later, they guessed Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, Changsun Wuji and other nobles, but from the beginning to the end, they never thought about the possibility of the emperor!
Because we all know that the emperor should still be in Yangzhou now.

"Okay! Don't stand around like a fool, let's start the trial! Whether it is ransacking the house or exterminating the family, we have to wait for the trial to understand before we can make a conclusion!"

Seeing Zuo Ming and the others stunned, Li Shimin smiled wickedly, and then said to Zuo Ming.As he spoke, he also asked Eunuch Qian to hand over a scroll wrapped in brocade to Zuo Ming.Needless to say, there should be an imperial decree inside.

Although he didn't know what was written in the imperial decree, Zuo Ming felt inexplicably relieved.At this time, his anger was also vented, and his mind suddenly became clear, "Open the hall!"

After uttering these two words, Zuo Ming sat down on the grand master's chair in front of the stage.

He didn't greet Li Shimin because he knew that Li Shimin didn't want to reveal his identity.He was obviously here to play, and if he revealed his identity at this time, it would definitely alarm Chang'an, forcing them to send a large number of people to find him as an escort.

Zuo Ming didn't pay his respects, Wang Siyan and the others were not stupid, so naturally they kept the same calm.It's just that Li Lizhi and Yuzhang sneaked into the crowd and whispered to Empress Changsun.

"This matter is quite complicated, and I need to hear the details. Your name is Qianxia, ​​right? You said that there have been 780 or two rapes in the Tōkaidō until now, do you have proof? Where are the witnesses? The king does not need them to present the case in person, after all, it is a matter of reputation, but the identity documents must be submitted, and the stable woman needs to check her integrity."

Since it was a trial, Zuo Ming naturally had to be fair enough.Of course, the most important thing is to convince those bastards to die.

However, he still underestimated the fierceness of those Japanese women.As soon as he finished speaking, delicate voices sounded from all around.

"There's no need to be so troublesome! The little girl has already arrived!"

"I'm coming too!"

"Me too! I can get a body check in person! And the person who raped me was in the crowd! It was him! I remember he had a birthmark on his buttocks, and that birthmark was in the shape of a moon, on the right buttock!"

Those Dongying girls all had resentment and misery on their faces, pointing at those who had harmed them and complaining bitterly.

They were very grateful to the nine girls who committed suicide for them. At the same time, they also felt that they were very cowardly, and they didn't even have the courage to resist.So at this moment, they are surprisingly brave.

They knew that this was an opportunity that their sisters bought with their lives, otherwise they would not be able to see the prince at all, and they had to seize this opportunity, not only for themselves, but also for the sake of thousands of Dongying girls.

Every time they pointed out a person, those guards would take that person down, and those who were taken down had no sophistry, nor could they.Because they will inevitably show some signs when they are violent, and these things cannot be hidden.

Of course, the biggest reason why they didn't quibble was because they were afraid that Zuo Ming would impulsively pick up a long knife again and kill them one by one.

They've all seen Tang Wang go crazy, that's simply unreasonable, killing a county magistrate is like killing a pig, you still expect him to reason with you?

Zuo Ming was really in a bad mood, and he was on the verge of breaking out again, because what he never expected was that there were actually three guards among those criminals.

The guards of the Kyushu Palace are all his confidantes, and there is such a beast in his confidants, how do you want him to bear it?The most important thing is that as a guard, even if you are on vacation, you are not allowed to leave Kyushu Prefecture.Those three people were able to go to other states to commit crimes, which shows that they have already violated military discipline.

This time he didn't need his left hand to make a move, Wu Dazhu put on a black face, and smashed the heads of the three guards one by one.There is no other reason, just because he is now the commander-in-chief of the Guards of the Kyushu Palace.

Wu Dazhu's disgusting method immediately frightened Empress Changsun and the others to turn pale, and Li Shimin and Zuo Ming also felt nauseated for a while, not to mention the crowd and girls next to them.

"What a reckless man! What are you still doing in a daze? Drag it on! Keep it for the exhibition?"

After cursing Wu Dazhu in a low voice, Zuo Ming pointed at the frightened guards and yelled.

Those people just woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly dragged the three corpses and fled away.

"Very good, the witnesses and physical evidence are complete, take these people down, and they will be executed every day!"

After the three corpses disappeared from the sight, Zuo Ming patted his chest, and said calmly.

"Beheaded?"

Everyone was stunned.

**Although it is hateful, it is not enough to be executed, right?
"My lord! It's not fair! We didn't kill anyone, at most it should be a crime of betrothal!"

"That's right! It's just raped a few lowly Dongying girls, how could they be beheaded?"

"My lord! You are abusing your private power!"

Those criminals shouted directly.

They can't help it, because if Zuo Ming refuses to let go, then they will really die.

"The crime of adultery is naturally not worthy of death! But have you forgotten what this king said earlier? This king said that I will give you one last chance to surrender or identify your accomplices! Anyone who is not sure will have to die! Your death penalty is not because you raped those Japanese girls, but because you took my words as fart! This king is very angry, so he wants to abuse his private power! You can go to hell to protest like the king of Hades, and see if he dares Dare to come up and seek justice for you!"

With a sneer, Zuo Ming said almost arrogantly, "Come on, drag it down. Starting tomorrow, ten people will be beheaded in batches. After killing them, hang their heads on the city wall and expose them to the sun for ten days! This king will let everyone Everyone, let's see what will happen if you challenge the authority of the Tang king in my Tungkaido! You can call me violent or iron-blooded! This land of the king does not allow anyone to break the rules here !"

At this moment, everyone was speechless for a while.Zuo Ming, who played tricks, was absolutely terrifying, and even Lu Dongzan was no match for him.The most important thing is that he has the capital to cheat and the ability not to resist.

The most terrifying thing in this world is not the powerful person, but the kind of person who is both powerful and unprincipled.

These people broke the principle of Zuo Ming and released the beast in his heart, so they had to be responsible for filling the appetite of this beast.

The crying and grievances soon dissipated, and Zuo Ming turned his eyes to Ming Quanyi again, "Tell me, why did you kill Jiang Qing? You know, she is the cousin of my concubine, and she is also This king's cousin! This king's cousin was killed under this king's rule, how do you think this king should deal with you?"

When he said this, Zuo Ming was already murderous.

"Jiang Qing didn't kill him! I killed her! The reason why I killed her was because I knew she was your cousin! We have no other way. We have already killed nine sisters, and we can't continue to die. So we can only Sacrificing an innocent girl from the Tang Dynasty to attract His Highness Tang Wang's attention! I am sorry for Jiang Qing's matter! I know that no amount of words can redeem anything, so I will return the only thing I have to you! "

This time, before Ming Quanyi could speak, the girl named Qianxia stepped in, and then she suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and cut her own throat.

"Qianxia!"

Seeing this situation, Ming Quanyi struggled crazily, Shen Ding and the others were also shocked by Qian Xia's actions, so they lost control of Ming Quanyi for a while and let him escape.

Running all the way to Qianxia's side, desperately trying to cover her throat, this man who looked very much like Yasuo actually burst into tears.

Qian Xia didn't die immediately, although her chest was covered with blood, she still looked at Ming Quanyi with a smile, her eyes were full of residual tenderness and love.

On the table in the distance, Zuo Ming's face was very pale, and his clenched fists had already begun to ooze blood.

He could sentence those criminals to death mercilessly, but facing such a scene, his heart was disturbed.

Qianxia must pay for her life, there is no doubt about it!No matter what the reason is, if she killed an innocent person who had nothing to do with it, she deserved to die!
But watching her die, Zuo Ming's heart twitched for no reason.

He couldn't explain the reason, he just thought it was ridiculous, because he actually sympathized with a murderer!
At this moment, even Wang Siyan, the immediate family member of the victim, silently lowered her head and buried her pretty face in the arms of Empress Changsun.

She has enough reasons to hate Qian Xia, but this woman is so hateful that she can't hate her.

This complicated emotion made her very contradictory and ashamed. She felt that she was so sorry for her cousin that she actually questioned her hatred.

Li Shimin's expression was also complicated.He has seen big storms in his life, but this case made him a little confused.

This is really an extremely absurd thing, because of being raped and unable to appeal, the nine girls chose to commit suicide to make a small matter bigger, and because the small matter did not achieve the results they wanted, they These poor people stretched out another hateful claw, and killed an equally poor person.

Whose responsibility is it for all of this?Is it the corruption and incompetence of local officials?Or the narrowness of Zuo Ming's perception?Or the stupidity of those girls?
Li Shimin couldn't think of an answer.He only knew that in this incident, only "Jiang Qing" was the most innocent one.Her only "crime" is having a cousin like Zuo Ming
