Wang Xueyi, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, went to court. After hearing Zhao Daying's indignant and unjust confession, he directly and sternly accused Zhu Ping'an.
The officials listening in the court also turned their attention to Zhu Pingan. Zhao Daying's scars, stories and indignation and grievances infected them. At this moment, they were somewhat inclined to sympathize with Zhao Daying, and looked at Zhu Pingan with a strong look in their eyes.
Intense scrutiny.
Zhao Daying was also looking at Zhu Ping'an, with a look of sadness and anger on his face. He was pulled back, and everyone was worried that he would kill himself impulsively to prove his innocence. On the surface, Zhao Daying looked sad and angry, but in his heart he felt very happy.
.
Your hair hasn't even grown yet, and you're still fighting with me. You're still young. Now let's see how you turn over!
Seeing Zhu Ping'an being questioned, Zhao Daying felt very happy in his heart. After this petition, he will definitely be more valued by Mr. Yan Ge. He will select a few more cars from the clan's inventory as generous gifts. It won't be long before he comes.
Your position will be able to rise again, and the glory of your ancestors will be restored to you.
for a while
Everyone's realization focused on Zhu Pingan, and Zhu Pingan became the focus of the court.
This is a crime that framed the general.
Moreover, this general is not an ordinary general, but a tiger general who has sacrificed his life and blood for the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years and suffered countless injuries!
Originally, everyone thought that Zhu Ping'an might be overwhelmed and helpless.
But when everyone turned their attention to Zhu Pingan to see how Zhu Pingan dealt with the dilemma, they were surprised to find that Zhu Pingan showed no signs of being distressed at all. It could even be said that he was taking time off, as if it was not his business.
Relaxed
It's like watching a play.
It completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
and
That's not all.
"Wonderful!"
"Wonderful!"
“What a wonderful experience!”
Zhu Ping'an raised the corners of his lips, laughed happily, clapped his hands, walked up to Zhao Daying, and clapped his hands while saying something wonderful.
Well
Damn it
What's happening here?
Why doesn't this person named Zhu act according to common sense?
Everyone was already surprised, but now they were even more surprised by Zhu Pingan's applause. Many people were stunned.
Zhao Daying was also stunned. Looking at the sarcastic Zhu Pingan, he wanted to slap him to death.
"Zhu Ping'an, what are you doing? What do you think of the court? What am I asking you for? Do you know your guilt?" Wang Xueyi, the Minister of Punishment in the court, patted the gavel again and asked with anger.
"Are you guilty? What crime am I guilty of? Please make it clear, sir."
Zhu Pingan shrugged and looked at Wang Xueyi innocently.
"You?" Wang Xueyi said angrily.
Another presiding officer in the court, Zhang Gu, the newly replaced right minister of the Ministry of War, took over Wang Xueyi's words and continued, "Zhao Daying is a rare tiger general in our Ming Dynasty, a brave general, and a battle-hardened general.
A loyal and brave general, why do you want to frame Zhao Daying for killing a good man and taking credit for it?"
"Hahaha"
Zhu Pingan couldn't help laughing as he listened, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. In the end, he almost doubled over with laughter.
"That's enough Zhu Pingan!" Zhang Gu patted the gavel hard.
"Hahaha, yes, I'm sorry, I really can't hold it in anymore, eh, okay, okay, I won't laugh." Zhu Pingan tried his best to gradually stop laughing, but his face was still full of laughter.
Holding back a smile.
"Zhu Pingan, don't think that just because you have fame, you can do whatever you want in court." Zhang Gu pointed at Zhu Pingan and said loudly.
"I just heard a joke and couldn't hold it back for a while. Please forgive me, sir." Zhu Pingan bowed his hands to the presiding judge and the auditorium one by one.
"A joke? Are my words just a joke in your ears?" Zhang Gu looked at Zhu Pingan expressionlessly and asked through gritted teeth.
"Just now, Your Majesty said that Zhao Daying is a rare tiger general, a brave general, and a loyal and brave general who has been on the battlefield for a long time in our Ming Dynasty. Hahahaha, I couldn't hold it back. I'm sorry." Zhu Pingan couldn't help it as he said it.
He laughed again, and this time his reaction was faster. He stopped smiling immediately and apologized sincerely to Zhang Gu in the court.
"What's so funny about this!" Zhang Gu stood up with a puff of sleeves.
"Master Zhang, please be patient. Let's listen to Zhu Ping'an's explanation." Wang Gao of Dali Temple next to Zhang Gu persuaded Zhang Gu and signaled to listen to Zhu Ping'an's explanation first.
"Okay, I'll see how you explain it." Zhang Gu snorted and sat back on the chair.
"Thank you, sir." Zhu Ping'an bowed.
"It's wonderful, it's really wonderful. What Mr. Zhao just said is really wonderful."
After a long bow, Zhu Pingan stood up and walked to Zhao Daying again, with a happy expression on his face again, and clapped again.
"Zhu Pingan, what do you mean?" Zhao Daying glared at Zhu Pingan fiercely.
"I'm applauding Zhao Daying." Zhu Ping'an said and clapped his hands again, "What Mr. Zhao just said was really wonderful. A battlefield coward, deserter, and a clever tongue actually succeeded in shaping a brave soldier.
Tiger General, wonderful, really wonderful."
ah?
What?
Zhu Pingan actually satirized Zhao Daying as a battlefield coward? A deserter?
Did I hear you right? How could it be possible? The scars on Zhao Daying's back could not be faked. With so many hideous scars on his back, how could he be a coward and a deserter!
Everyone was very suspicious of Zhu Pingan's words. They felt that Zhu Pingan only said this deliberately to deny Zhao Daying.
"Do you think that the scars on your back are all the merits of Zhao Daying? Are they proof of your bravery?" Zhu Ping'an stood in front of Zhao Daying and asked with a smile.
Is not it?!
Everyone was stunned and puzzled by Zhu Pingan's words.
"Wrong, absolutely wrong. The scars on your back not only prove your bravery, but on the contrary, these scars prove that you, Zhao Daying, are a poor coward and a deserter!"
Zhu Pingan's words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone present, especially the coward and deserter who emphasized the tone behind Zhu Pingan, which made the ears of everyone present ringing.
coward
deserter
How can it be?
"I don't see it. The champion's ability to confuse right and wrong and call a deer a horse is top-notch. I admire you. In terms of verbal skills, Zhao, a martial artist, is naturally not as good as you, a person who makes a living by dancing and writing. I, Zhao, can't use verbal skills either.
I, Zhao, only know how to do this and fight for a future on the battlefield with my flesh and blood." Zhao Daying turned to Zhu Pingan with a cold eyebrow, then turned to kneel down on one knee to the presiding judge, "Zhu Pingan has repeatedly turned things upside down.
Black and white, you have humiliated me, and I ask you all to make the decision."
Wang Xueyi and others in the court naturally made the decision for Zhao Daying. Moreover, in their opinion, Zhu Pingan was just looking for trouble and making up his mind, so they asked Zhu Pingan to give an explanation to everyone.
"As commanded."
Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands, then looked at Zhao Daying, "Do it, right? What you said makes sense, and it should indeed be done."
Therefore, Zhu Pingan asked the presiding officer to temporarily borrow two skilled guards. This request sounded ridiculous. The presiding officer Wang Xueyi and others naturally did not agree. However, after Zhu Pingan repeatedly assured that it was related to this case, there would be no such thing.
After the child's play, Jin Yiwei and Takumi nodded in agreement.
Then, Zhu Pingan borrowed two wooden swords used for police training, two pieces of linen cloth, and a pot of red ink from the Ministry of Punishment.
Zhu Pingan wrapped the wooden swords with cloth, then soaked them in red ink, and gave them to two Jinyi guards respectively, and ordered them to attack each other with the wooden swords and engage in a life-and-death struggle until he called out to stop.
"absurd!"
"What a child's play!"
When Wang Xueyi and others saw this, they criticized him unceasingly.
Other officials who were watching also felt that Zhu Ping'an's trip was really ridiculous.
but
Soon they changed color.
I saw two Jinyi guards attacking each other under Zhu Ping'an's instructions. The wooden swords wrapped in linen would leave a red mark on the opponent's body before attacking each other. After a while, there were seven or eight marks on the two men.
Fortunately it was a wooden sword, otherwise both of them would have been turned into pieces.
"stop."
Zhu Pingan shouted, and the two Jinyi guards who were attacking each other stopped. Looking at the sword marks on the two Jinyi guards, Zhu Pingan nodded with satisfaction.
"My lords, please take a look."
Zhu Ping'an attracted the attention of all the officials, pointed at the sword marks on Jin Yiwei's body and continued, "You adults should have seen that the two of them attacked each other face to face, and the scars left were all on this side of the chest, not on the chest.
A scar is on the back. This scar is the scar left by a brave general on the battlefield."
"If you want to leave scars on your back, unless it is," Zhu Pingan said, he came to a Jin Yiwei, took the wooden sword from his hand, and then said to him, "Turn around and run."
As soon as Jin Yiwei turned around and took a step away, Zhu Pingan held a wooden sword and left a red sword mark on his back.
Extraordinarily dazzling.
"So, unless it's an escape." Zhu Ping'an continued.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Pingan came to Zhao Daying again, looked directly into his eyes, and said word by word:
