"Zheng Shangshu, why did you surrender so quickly this time?" Chu Qianqiu said with a smile, making Zheng Shangshu confused and said:
"Lord Zhongwu, this official is not someone who won't shed tears until he sees the coffin."
"I've been caught in the act. I have nothing to say."
Zheng Shangshu said with a bitter smile.
The last time he was the Minister of Punishment, he was able to scold Chu Qianqiu harshly because he had the confidence and no one caught him.
It's different now. In this letter, he tried his best to exaggerate how Chu Zhongwu did many evil things, acted recklessly, refined zombies, and was so heinous.
Especially his conversation with King Jing just now was heard clearly.
As long as it is announced, he will definitely be on the list of rebels.
So why are you resisting? Just hug your thighs and make up for it.
"Master Shangshu is quite transparent."
“But the necessary procedures cannot be omitted.”
Chu Qianqiu always remembered his kindness to his mentor, how could he forget to honor him.
Nociceptors are a must.
And you have to pay it back twice as much.
"Lord Zhongwu, wait..." Zheng Shangshu suddenly regretted it at this moment, because this process was really formulated by the Six Doors.
It doesn’t matter whether you want to attack him or not, first hit him with thirty killing sticks and give him a severe lesson.
If someone falls into the hands of Zheng Shangshu, he will deal with it in this way.
In the past, he only felt that the six doors did not have enough tricks, but when he used it on himself, he hated that there were too many tricks.
"ah!"
The miserable screams echoed in the special room of Tianlao. Zheng Shangshu's performance in this regard was as terrible as ever.
After all, someone who is good at torturing his opponents does not mean that he has much courage. The prison chiefs who work in the prison are majestic in front of the prisoners, but they are groveling in front of the big shots.
"This is a small punishment but a big warning."
"Zheng Shangshu, do you understand what you should do next?"
"Help me, sir, to find King Jing's whereabouts, or bring him to justice."
"anything else?"
"Also, please obey your orders."
"anything else?"
"besides?"
"Do you want this [Xie Zhi], sir?"
Zheng Shangshu quickly took out the Haezhi and handed it over.
"anything else?"
"Yet, there's more?"
"You are the Minister of Punishment. How many unjust cases have been committed in the prisons of the Shenwu Dynasty over the years?"
"I think all the death sentences approved recently were done by you."
"How many unjust ghosts must there be in this temple? Do you, the Minister of Punishment, deserve to die?"
Chu Qianqiu said coldly.
Local officials have great power. As the saying goes, the county magistrate who confiscates the family is the prefect who exterminates the family.
Officials can use various means to destroy an ordinary person's family, and that is all very easy.
But these methods do not follow orthodox judicial procedures.
Even if Chu Qianqiu was extremely powerful, he would not be able to casually execute any official without Shang Fang's sword.
He took the imperial charter route.
If an official wants to sentence a person to death in a reasonable and justified manner, this is very difficult in terms of procedure.
Unless his network can reach all the way to the Ministry of Justice, there are dozens of officials willing to clear the way for him.
Because the imperial court is not an idiot.
Once the imperial court dares to delegate the power of death penalty to local governments, local governments will dare to create countless unjust, false and wrongful cases and kill people legitimately and legally.
Even if it is a legal death penalty for an ordinary farmer, he must go through layers of approval before he can achieve this.
Only the Ministry of Punishment has the power to kill.
It's just like Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan rule. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Ministry of Punishment reviewed the death penalty and only gave it to twenty-nine people.
It was not because there were too few criminals, but because Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty knew very well how local officials played their games.
Therefore, he was cautious in sentencing.
Today, the Ministry of Punishment of the Shenwu Dynasty approves more than tens of thousands of death sentences every year, and in some years it can easily exceed the 100,000 mark.
Judging from Chu Qianqiu's personal experience, rather than believing in the integrity of these six gates, it is better to believe that there are piles of ghosts who died unjustly in this temple.
The last time Chu Qianqiu was attacked by tens of thousands of refugees, their resentment could condense into a fierce ghost. (Note: Chapter 678)
In the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, if a bunch of people are killed unjustly every year, how many evil ghosts can be created?
King Jing is also someone who likes standardized work.
"The lower official deserves to die, the lower official deserves to die."
"The lower official must re-examine and verify the grievances."
Zheng Shangshu suddenly realized this, and at the same time he was dripping with cold sweat, and he quickly kowtowed and shouted.
"Of course you deserve to die."
"But now it's not easy to find a suitable minister of the Ministry of Justice."
"You have dealt with so many things, it is easier to help people who have been wronged and clear their grievances."
Chu Qianqiu pondered for a moment, then slapped Zheng Shangshu on the head with his palm, and drove the [Black Hachi] he obtained in the last cycle directly into the minister's eyebrows, causing him to let out a miserable scream.
Voice.
Chu Qianqiu made a profit from him and gave him another black deer.
This can be regarded as borrowing and repaying.
"This haechi will monitor your every move, and there are some good things in it."
"Okay, good stuff?"
Zheng Shangshu felt that his body was shaking unconsciously.
"That's the nociceptin that sucks the worms."
"The amount of these pain hormones is enough for you to have pain for 7,749 days."
"Isn't this great?"
"You made the mistake of being imprisoned. I will make you suffer for a day."
Chu Qianqiu smiled and said, Zheng Shangshu's face instantly turned pale.
"Xiaoguan understands that he will clear up the injustice and redress the injustices of the people of the world."
"only……"
"Just what?"
"If the official does this, won't King Jing discover the mystery?"
"How can I be an undercover agent for adults?"
"This is a simple matter, just tell King Jing that I forced you."
"You are just trying to deceive others and cater to me."
"The supply of death row prisoners has been temporarily interrupted."
"Yes, sir, I will take care of it now."
Zheng Shangshu quickly nodded in agreement.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you something else."
After Chu Qianqiu finished speaking, he condensed a mirror in his hand.
"The mirror hangs high?"
Zheng Shangshu was almost so shocked that he couldn't control himself. It had been decades since he had obtained this Dharma Sutra, but he still could not condense this mirror because the technique was defective.
This mirror is not a magical power to attack, but it can see people's hearts, whether they are convinced or not.
Whether a person is wronged or not does not necessarily depend on whether he is convinced or not. After all, even if a wicked person faces the court, he will not be convinced.
But if a person refuses to accept it no matter what, the possibility of having a problem is extremely high.
In the past, Legalists gathered this "mirror" just to examine people's hearts and see whether they were convinced or not.
If your people are not convinced, even if you come up with thousands of divine and martial laws, what's the use?
"I think you also know the magical power of this mirror."
Chu Qianqiu is the great master of contemporary martial arts. Even if the skills are lacking, he can still deduce them.
"The human heart is like a mirror, illuminating thousands of things."
Zheng Shangshu replied tremblingly.
"This mirror will burn your soul and help you see things clearly."
"You don't mind."
"I am willing to serve Lord Zhongwu to the death."
