Zhitong was so frightened by Jia Jing that he trembled all over and nodded repeatedly: "If you knew, you would tell me everything you know!"
Jia Jing nodded and said, "Retell what you said to me in Shuiyue Temple, without a single word of deviation!"
Zhitong did not dare to look at Jingxu, so he could only lower his head and repeat what he said in Shuiyue Temple, but added that he was wronged and was only forced to do these things by Jingxu.
After listening to Zhitong's description, everyone was immediately filled with indignation, and the common people even talked about it: "I said that the daughter of the old Zhang family next door went to Shuiyue Temple to worship Buddha, and then disappeared! It turned out that she was killed by these gangs
The nun was kidnapped and trafficked!"
"What a beast! You actually do such a thing under the Buddha's throne. Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you?"
"I was originally wondering how these ladies could be so generous, but they turned out to be doing such a shameful thing!"
"Judge her! Judge her!"
Jingxu was actually a little panicked when he saw that he was getting angry, but he still pretended to be calm and put his hands together to pronounce the Buddha's name, and then said: "Zhitong! Do you know what you are talking about!"
Zhitong glanced at Jingxu, and then said in a panic: "You, you'd better confess your guilt quickly!" Jingxu looked at her with a pitiful look, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Jia Jing continued: "Where is Qiu Liang, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?" Liu Ze stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Go back to the Marquis! Qiu Liang, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division has arrived! He is waiting outside the door!
"
Jia Jing said in a deep voice: "Send him to the court!" Liu Ze quickly clasped his fists and saluted, and then hurriedly went down. After a while, he saw Qiu Liang in armor hurriedly came up with his head lowered, but he still kept using the silk handkerchief.
Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
As soon as he came up, he knelt on one knee and said: "Qiu Liang, the commander of the military and horse divisions of the five cities! I have met the left governor!" Jia Jing said in a deep voice: "Qiu Liang, let me ask you, what do you think about Shuiyue Temple?
Know?"
Qiu Liang hesitated for a while after hearing the words, and then said: "Biaoxia, I have only just known that there is such a shocking thing under the emperor's feet! It's really, really... horrifying
!”
Jia Jing said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Did you really just find out about this?" Qiu Liang suddenly had cold sweat on his face, and said quickly: "Well, I really just found out about this. Please tell me.
Governor Mingjian!"
Jia Jing furiously slapped the crowd and said: "You still have the nerve to say it! So many women have been harmed! As the commander of the five cities' military and horse divisions, you are responsible for the safety and security of the people in the five cities of Shenjing City! Such a big thing
, you are actually the last to know!"
As Jia Jing spoke, she threw the gavel on Qiu Liang and cursed: "Do you think you should die or not?"
Qiu Liang quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I'm incompetent! I'm incompetent!" Jia Jing said coldly: "You are indeed incompetent! Pass my order! Qiu Liang, commander of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities! You are derelict and incompetent!
For causing such a tragic incident, we will handle it according to military law! I will get fifty military sticks for myself! If I do it again in the future, I will be dismissed pending investigation!"
Qiu Liang felt relieved and quickly kowtowed to thank Jia Jing. Jia Jing waved her hands and said: "Go down and lead the army stick yourself! If it happens again, I will never give you mercy!"
Qiu Liang nodded quickly and then hurriedly went down. Seeing that such a big official was punished, everyone in the hall naturally applauded.
Jia Jing turned to look at Jingxu who lowered his head and said nothing: "Don't think that I can only rely on him! I still have witnesses and physical evidence! I advise you to admit it as soon as possible. I hope you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes."
For my own sake, I can be treated leniently!"
Hearing this, Jingxu closed his eyes and said, "I want to see what kind of evidence the Marquis has!"
Jia Jing sneered and said: "I and the women who were victims of Shuiyue An are here to file a collective complaint! The so-called pilgrims who were buying sex in Shuiyue An at that time are also here to be reported! Jingxu! You are still going to kill me.
Don’t you admit it?”
Jingxu's face turned pale when he heard this, but he still lowered his head and said, "Amitabha! This poor nun really doesn't know what the Marquis is talking about!"
Jia Jing sneered and leaned back and said, "Are you waiting for the person behind you to come to me to intercede? Or are you using some means to suppress me?"
Jia Jing clapped her hands on the table and stood up and shouted: "Dream! I tell you, your matter has been revealed! If it is revealed in my hands, the king of heaven is here! Today you must also obey the law! Left and right!" Liu
Ze stood up astride the knife, clasping his fists with his hands and saying solemnly: "Here you are!"
Jia Jing took out an arrow from the side and threw it out and said: "Shuiyue Temple is pure! Intervene in the lawsuit and accept stolen money! Abduct and sell women, force girls into prostitution! This crime is heinous! Heaven and earth cannot tolerate it! According to the laws of Dayan, I will sentence you to death!"
This case is a joint trial between our Fifth Army Governor’s Mansion and the Second Hall of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen! Therefore, according to the military law of our Fifth Army Governor’s Mansion, it should be dragged out immediately! Caishikou will be punished!"
When Jingxu heard the words, his legs softened with fright. Zhou Ji also stood up in shock when he heard the words. He grabbed Jia Jing's hand with both hands and quickly stopped the command arrow that Jia Jing was about to throw out. He looked at everyone.
He said softly: "Are you crazy? This is not your army! How dare you tamper with the power of life and death?"
Jia Jing looked at Zhou Ji, blinked and said, "What? Are you still planning to report it to the Ministry of Punishment?" Zhou Ji was speechless for a while. If he really reported it to the Ministry of Punishment, would this person still die...
The ancients were very serious about the death penalty. It was necessary to ensure that many people confirmed repeatedly to confirm that the person really deserved to die before being sentenced to death. This was the ancient people's cherishing of "benevolence, justice" and life. This spirit has even been directly passed down to us.
At this time, the death penalty can only be sentenced by the Ministry of Punishment. As long as the death penalty is imposed, whether it is Shenjing or various provinces and counties, the file must be sent to the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment will report it to the emperor after it is correct, and the emperor will read it and confirm the person.
But when it is no longer possible to die and the people are not angry enough not to kill, the red mark will be checked for confirmation.
The Ministry of Punishment will send back the files that the emperor has marked with red, and those that have not been marked with red, are in doubt, or are not guilty enough to be punished will be sent back for retrial, and the opinions of the Ministry of Punishment will be attached. Even if the death penalty is imposed, it does not mean that they should be cut down immediately.
On the contrary, it is even more complicated and troublesome, because the rations for the death row inmates need to be declared, the execution date must be determined, and a meal for the death row inmate must be prepared, and the ration of this meal is based on the five-guan standard!
Five ounces! You must know that these days, a pretty little girl is only worth four taels of silver until she is stretched to death, but these death row prisoners can eat a meal for five taels of silver!
Although most of them can’t be reached by them…………but it’s definitely not bad!
Naturally, this amount of money is not easy to apply for! Knowing that in this era, it is very troublesome to impose the death penalty, so Jia Jing wanted to convict her on the spot and have her executed!
But after Zhou Ji hesitated for a long time, he still shook his head and said: "You can't do this, otherwise you and I will really be in big trouble!" Jia Jing glanced at Jingxu and said softly: "If we don't kill her today,
We are the ones in big trouble!"
Zhou Ji shook his head and said: "This gun is not your army, it should be judged by this officer!" Jia Jing looked at Zhou Ji speechlessly. Zhou Ji took the command arrow from Jia Jing's hand and said: "This officer pronounces the sentence! Shuiyue'an!
Jingxu, abducted and trafficked women, forced good girls into prostitution, the evidence is conclusive! According to the laws of Dayan, the verdict is to be executed immediately! He will be detained for the time being! Qiu Hou will ask and behead him!"
"good!"
After Zhou Ji pronounced the sentence, the people watching suddenly burst into cheers. Zhou Ji threw the arrow, and then the government officials stepped forward and dragged Jingxu down.
Jingxu's face suddenly turned pale, and then he struggled and shouted: "You can't do this! Do you know who I am? Your Highness, Your Highness will not bypass you!"
Jia Jing and Zhou Ji looked at each other, Jia Jing sneered and said: "Stop her mouth! Take her down!" Jingxu struggled frantically and said: "Jia Jing! You will regret it! You will regret it!"
Jia Jing sneered and said nothing. Zhou Ji slapped the table again, attracting everyone's attention and said: "The accomplices will identify each other according to the size of the crime! Those who have committed serious crimes will be severely punished, and those who have committed minor crimes will be imprisoned! Go to court!"
The people suddenly cheered: "Master Qingtian!" Jia Jing curled his lips, obviously it was me who judged with all his strength, right? But he also knew that the people preferred to watch honest officials fighting evil people, and he was at most in this kind of drama.
Even an upright and powerful person with a bit of conscience like the Eight Wise Kings will never be the protagonist...
Zhou Ji didn't know that Jia Jing still had such naive ideas. He just nodded, then waved his hand to the chief secretary and said: "Go and take them down!"
The chief clerk quickly took the clerks down to take Zhitong and others down to question them. Jia Jing smiled and said: "There are also those girls behind. I can't let them show up. After you deal with them, help them send them to the nursing home."
stop."
Zhou Ji looked at Jia Jing speechlessly and said: "I have so many things to do here, what can you do if you send them over?" Jia Jing spread her hands and said: "I have other things to deal with!"
Zhou Ji looked at him doubtfully and said, "What else can you do?" Jia Jing smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know in a moment." Zhou Ji blinked, and Jia Jing paid attention.
Yishang said: "Let's go!"
fantuan.
Jia Jing said to Jia Baoyu: "I will send two people to take you home. After you go back, have a good rest and remember the lesson learned this time! Do you understand?" Jia Baoyu nodded quickly. Jia Jing snorted and waved her hands.
A private soldier stepped forward and took him away.
Jia Jing went out with a smile, and looked at the trembling but still strong dudes in the prison car behind them who covered their faces with the few pieces of cloth they had left, and the man in the last prison car who looked pale and had blood dripping from his lower body.
, the man who was still unconscious smiled meaningfully: "Let's go and give a big gift to Wu Kui, Duke of Jing!"
When those dandies heard this, their faces instantly turned pale...
Duke Wu Kui of Jing Kingdom is still very busy today. The defense change is not that simple. He needs to inspect many camps in the capital. He also needs to cultivate relationships with the generals who are about to leave the capital to take up their posts and give instructions.
Duke Song Qing's temper has become a bit weird recently. Wu Kui is reluctant to even see him now, so naturally he doesn't dare to ask him to do these things. Therefore, compared with Jia Jing's recent leisure time, Wu Kui
Kui has been so busy lately that his heels are hitting the back of his head!
It was dusk after today's work. Wu Kui stood at the door of his house and sighed. It's been hard to get along in Beijing recently! If he didn't work hard, he wouldn't know how he fell behind!
Especially when people from the New Party are looking at him in front of him, and Jia Jing, a little bastard, is looking at him coldly at the back. Although this kid has been honest in recent times, everyone knows that this kid is pretending to be dead!
Don't show any flaws, otherwise the harmless Jia Jing in front of you will immediately bar your fangs and turn into a wolf that drinks blood and eats flesh!
Wu Kui sighed, looked at the old housekeeper who hurriedly came to greet him, and asked, "Brother Jiang, are you back?" The old housekeeper bowed to Wu Kui, and then quickly replied: "The prince has come back and is accompanying his wife in the back house.
say."
Wu Kui snorted twice. Wu Jiang was still very much in tune with him. At least Wu Kui felt that relying on Wu Jiang, even if his Jingguo Palace lost power in a short period of time, it might not have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
!
When Wu Kui thought of this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Why was he so busy all day? Isn't it just for his family and children? His son has become successful like this, and he is confident in everything he does!
It’s better than Qi’s Duke’s Palace! Why did Song Qing end up like this? Isn’t it because his son was killed? That’s why he became so paranoid? It’s just that Song Qing forgot what happened to Hou Keke in Jinxiang!
Kirk did such a treasonous thing because he lost his son! If Song Qing was so paranoid, Wu Kui wouldn't even know what he should do!
Wu Kui pursed his lips, shook his head helplessly and was about to walk in. Who knew that at this moment, the sound of rolling carriages suddenly came from the distance. Soldiers who had been on the battlefield were very sensitive to such sounds, so Wu Kui naturally felt it.
arrive.
Unable to help squinting his eyes slightly, he looked into the distance. Under the setting sun, he vaguely saw what seemed to be a convoy of cars slowly approaching. Wu Kui frowned slightly. The old butler stepped forward and whispered: "My lord, please call them."
detour?"
Wu Kui waved his hand, and the old housekeeper did not dare to speak. Wu Kui stared at the approaching motorcade, his eyes suddenly widened, it was that bastard Jia Jing!
Jia Jing seemed to have seen Wu Kui, and after being stunned for a moment, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling. The old housekeeper slowly stepped forward with a slight seriousness, but Wu Kui held his shoulder. The old housekeeper couldn't help but look back at Wu Kui.
, resigned unwillingly.
Jia Jing led the convoy closer and closer, and Wu Kui could see clearly that the convoy was actually a prison car, and the prison car was actually full of naked people with their faces covered, and they seemed to have some...
...Uh, rotten vegetable leaves? Rotten eggs?
Jia Jing had just come here beating gongs and drums along the way. He was afraid that no one would know what the people Jia Jing brought with him were doing, so naturally he would have arrived early and received the "warm reception" from the common people. If it weren't for Jia Jing's personal soldiers who stopped him
, the enthusiastic people of Shenjing are even ready to entertain them with stones...
Wu Kui glanced behind Jia Jing and said expressionlessly: "What does Ninghou mean? Are you sending slaves to your father-in-law?" Jia Jing was not angry at all. Hearing this, he laughed loudly and said: "Ah, that's right.
Yes! Yes, yes!”
Jia Jing smiled and said: "I see that Duke Jing seems to do everything personally. I wonder if it is because Duke Jing's palace is too poor and cannot afford to buy slaves?"
Wu Kui's face darkened, and Jia Jing continued to laugh jokingly: "Can I tolerate this situation? After all, I am also an important minister of the country, a dignified prince! How can I mess up to such an extent! I can't bear it! Just right!"
Jia Jing clapped her hands and said: "On a whim today, I caught some scum and scum. Keeping them will bring harm to society. Why not use them as waste? You can collect them and remold them. Maybe they can be a scum in the future."
Isn't it a good thing to be a little boy, a book boy, or something like that, and benefit Dayan?"
Wu Kui became more and more confused, but he had already heard that what Jia Jing said was definitely not a good thing, so his face couldn't help but become a little gloomy. Jia Jing turned around as if he hadn't seen her before and said, "Come and look at me, see if my look is okay."
, do you like it or not?"
Jia Jing said and turned around to look at everyone. Then she realized that everyone was covering their faces. She couldn't help but pretend to be angry and said: "Hey! This shameless beast still knows how to cover his face? Why did you go there earlier? Left and right.
!Whoever dares to hide his face will be given two whips directly!"
"yes!"
Jia Jing's soldiers immediately clasped their fists when they heard this, and then came forward with whips and hit each of them. None of them were wearing clothes. When the whip fell on the white flesh, there were red blades and they screamed in pain.
He let go of his hand and quickly moved towards his body to block it.
Wu Kui naturally recognized them, and couldn't help being shocked: "Brother Kuan? You, what are you?" Gao Kuan and others recognized them at the first sight, and there was no use blocking them, so they all accepted their fate.
Without covering his face, his face was filled with a desire to live and to doubt life...
When Wu Kui saw this, he was furious and yelled at Jia Jing: "Jia Jing! You have gone too far!" Jia Jing sneered confidently and said: "I have gone too far? Today they can come back in perfect condition.
Or is it because I spoke kindly in front of Mr. Zhou, why do you blame me instead of thanking me?"
When Wu Kui heard this, his anger was half extinguished. He looked at Jia Jing suspiciously and said, "What did you say?" Jia Jing sneered and said, "If you are interested, you can just ask someone on the street. Your good nephews are all
Did something good!"
Jia Jing rubbed her chin and said thoughtfully: "Now it is estimated that at least half of the people in the entire capital city know the reputation of your precious nephews! Let's go and find out!"
When Wu Kui heard this, he looked at Gao Kuan and others with sharp eyes. Gao Kuan and others naturally lowered their heads. At first, Wu Kui thought that Jia Jing was deliberately bullying their children, but now it seems that there is something hidden...
…………
Jia Jing patted her head and said, "Oh! By the way! I came here to find you specifically because nephews like you are not the only ones who are guilty of this."
Wu Kui suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart: "What do you mean?" Jia Jing smirked and stretched out her finger: "The two prison cars at the end are the ones I specially prepared for you.
