"Su Zhen, do you know that slandering an official of the imperial court is a capital offense! You are so bold and reckless because you have the backing of Taifu Mansion and Prince Yu. You just don't take the emperor seriously!"
Xu Jing clasped his hands and raised his head above his head. Although his tone was respectful to the emperor, his eyes were looking directly at Su Zhen. Faced with his pressure and coercion, she smiled disdainfully.
"Captain Xu, let's not pretend to be confused because we understand! I am rushing to rescue Tang Yinchen openly and ask him to treat us to a drink. How can I have the time to chat with you here?"
After Su Zhen finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and several government officials immediately went to the morgue.
In a short time, roll after roll of straw mats were delivered to the courtyard of the Ministry of Justice, and the stench filled the sky.
It had been several days since these children died. Although the government used special pharmaceutical powder to prevent the corpses from decomposing, the spots on the corpses still spread to the whole body, which was extremely horrific.
And those babies... The government officials around looked at the babies with their facial features completely destroyed, and couldn't help but look away, feeling a little unbearable.
"Then...is that the child we lost?" A peasant woman's voice trembled. Because she cried too much, her eyes were not as good as before, and her vision was often blurred. Tears welled up in her eyes at this moment, and she seemed not to notice the pain in her eyes.
It hurt, and I just felt like the sky collapsed in an instant, "Let me in! I want to see my child!"
"Let us in! Let us in!"
Wu Shilang had the foresight to ask officers and soldiers to guard the gate of the Criminal Department in advance to prevent the people from rushing in excessively.
Su Zhen walked into the courtyard from the court hall and opened one of the rolls of straw mat. The child was still in his late teens and had young features, but he was broken into the hands of those beasts.
Because he had been brutally beaten when he died, his expression was hideous and terrifying. There were more than ten wounds, and the fatal wound was on the heart, which was a knife wound about two inches long.
When she had just rested in the inner hall, she had already read the autopsy book written by Wu Zuo. The wounds on the bodies of these children were roughly the same. They had all suffered extreme humiliation and abuse, and many of them committed suicide because they could not bear the humiliation.
The common people could not see the child's face clearly, but they could vaguely see the wounds on his body. They suddenly felt chilled and kept silent.
The twilight is approaching, and the sun is setting in the west, reflecting the sky like a bloody sunset.
More and more people have gathered outside the Ministry of Punishment. At first, they just came to join in the fun, but now, they are all jealous.
Many people who had lost their children looked at the roll of straw mats, and their eyes suddenly turned black. They knelt on the ground, kowtowed and cried.
"Please make the decision, Mr. Prince! Mr. Su! You must help us! We must not let this beast go!"
"Master Su! It was our fault before! You must help us bring this evil man to justice!"
"Xu Jing! You are a murderer of a thousand swords! You deserve death!"
Seeing the situation getting out of control, Wu Shilang hurriedly said, "Master Su!"
Su Zhen glanced at him sideways, pressed gently on the hollow on the child's body, and thought to herself that it was indeed the case.
After these children died, one of their bones was taken away.
Then he arranged his clothes, took out the brocade handkerchief from his arms, wiped the black ash on his face gently, stood up and looked at the people outside the gate of the Criminal Department.
"Rumors stop at the wise. You think you hold the scepter of justice, but you don't know that you are being manipulated in the palm of your hand. Xu Jing was full of evil, and his younger brother Xu Lin was arrogant and domineering, wantonly bullying the women of the people, and then made a beauty bowl. His crime
He should be punished! Since you are afraid of his official authority, then I, Su Zhen, will do this life-threatening thing!"
"Thank you, Master Su, for praying for the people!"
"Thank you, Master Su, for praying for the people!"
Listening to the shouts of thanks outside, Su Zhen sighed, the people have always been like this, they will be grateful to anyone who treats them well.
Yu Ziye patted Chihuang's little head on his shoulder. The latter rarely cooperated and flew out.
After a while, countless birds gathered in the sky above the Punishment Department. They held palm-sized notes in their mouths. They fluttered and fell one after another while everyone was stunned.
Hearing the scolding outside getting even louder, Xu Jing stepped out of the courtroom and grabbed a few pieces of paper, which clearly stated, 'On the ninth day of March in the 31st year of Shangde, Xu Jing accepted a box of jewelry worth 20,000 taels of silver as bribe.'
"On the second day of June in the thirty-third year of Shang De's reign, a tavern under the name of Mrs. Wang of Xu Jing was opened, and a large amount of saltpeter was secretly accumulated and hidden."
On February 28, the thirty-fifth year of Shangde, Xu Lin robbed a civilian girl Cao Ying in the street. Afterwards, he could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide. Later, Cao Ying's family came to the door. Xu Lin persuaded her to quit, but secretly set fire to ten members of her family.
One bite.'
"On May 14th of the 32nd year of Shangde, Xu Jing replaced several gangsters from prison and took them for his own use. He stole treasures everywhere in Luoqi and hoarded a large amount of property."
"On March 23rd in the thirty-seventh year of Shangde, Xu Jing was promoted to captain. Later, he recruited several retainers from the people and supported them in the mansion. Their monthly clothing, food, housing and transportation were comparable to those of a sixth-grade official. Their salary was not equal and far from it."
Xu Jing blushed and read a few more pictures. He felt his heart burning with anger. He tore them into pieces and threw them in the air...
In the sky full of confetti, Su Zhen's thin figure stood upright proudly, with a raised brow and an evil smile on her lips.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten everything and was instantly fascinated.
How could such a peerless young man be such a morally corrupt person?
Su Zhen suddenly turned around and met the pair of clear eyes outside the gate of the Criminal Department that had no time to look back.
Xiao Chuhong's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and he suddenly remembered that Su Zhen was a man. He calmed down, couldn't help laughing, and turned around to leave.
Eh? That man just now...how does his mask look like the man in black who saved her last night!
Su Zhen looked back after being surprised, looked at Wu Shilang again, and said in a serious voice, "Master Wu, are these charges enough or not enough? Will you try this case...or not?!"
Wu Shilang's face turned red and white, and he felt weak in his heart, "The trial...of course we have to do it!"
With so many pairs of eyes looking at him, if he ignores him, not only will he lose his official position, but he may also lose his head.
After returning to the court, Su Zhen deliberately mocked, "Captain Xu, those people who died unjustly in your hands, have they ever bothered you? Do you hear their cries every night and cannot sleep peacefully?"
"Su Zhen!!!"
Su Zhen calmed down and took out her ears, "I'm not deaf, please don't yell at me."
"Don't talk nonsense in broad daylight! You deliberately misled the people and used these pieces of paper to confuse the public..."
"Stop! You don't need to talk nonsense to me. These notes are flying all over the streets and alleys now, maybe even in the palace." Su Zhen took a few steps towards him and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You
He ruined the reputation of the four of us and forcibly pinned the charges on Tang Yinchen."
"What exactly do you want?" Xu Jing said through gritted teeth.
"If I'm not wrong, you probably want to make a fuss out of this matter and legitimately divide the military power in the hands of Lieutenant Xu. If that's the case, then naturally you have to... risk your reputation and life in return!"
