On an empty plain outside the county seat of Huairou County, the public trial was held here.
A high platform was built on the open space. The layout on the high platform was similar to that of a public hall. At the same time, a guillotine was set up next to the high platform. There were several large tree stumps. Several cabinet makers who came from the capital were sharpening their knives at this time.
Prepare for the upcoming execution.
A large number of officers, soldiers and government officials stood around, firstly to maintain order at the scene, and secondly to prevent anyone from coming to rob the execution site.
At this moment, a large crowd of people had already gathered on the originally empty flat land. These were all villagers from Huairou County. When they learned that the Sun family was going to be put on trial, the entire Huairou County was excited and came here from all over the country.
"The sky has eyes!"
"The Sun family is finally going to get retribution!"
"It's a pity that my granddaughter was raped to death by the Sun family because she didn't want to marry into the Sun family."
"I originally thought that I would never see the Sun family suffer retribution until my death, but I didn't expect that the Sun family's retribution would come so quickly."
Some elderly people cried and complained bitterly about the viciousness of the Sun family.
"Haha~haha~"
"The Sun family has seized my ancestral property and made me unable to return home. Now I have finally received retribution."
Some young people laughed happily, especially when they saw people from the Sun family being pressed up one after another, they laughed even more happily.
"My son, my son!"
"Did you see it?"
"The Sun family will go to hell soon, look at them, look at them."
There was an old woman holding her little grandson and crying to the sky that her son was beaten to death by the Sun family.
The scene was very chaotic. Countless people were crying and recounting the numerous crimes committed by the Sun family. When they saw the Sun family being escorted up, many people lost control of their emotions and wanted to rush forward, wishing they could eat the flesh of the Sun family.
Drink the blood of the Sun family. If there weren't a large number of officers, soldiers, government officials, and police officers on site to maintain order, it is estimated that the Sun family would not have to be tried in public, and they would be torn into pieces.
"It's nine o'clock!"
Liu Jin, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the scene in front of him, as if he had seen countless scenes of torture by the Sun family.
The evil forces and local ruffians are the ones who torture the people the most. Many times they make life worse than death. Think about some cases in later generations, and then look at these people in front of you. You can all enjoy what the Sun family did here in Huairou County.
How many bad things have happened.
He rolled up his sleeves, looked at the time, and said to Zhu Houzhao.
"Um!"
Zhu Houzhao is sitting in the chief interrogation position, wearing the official uniform of a seventh-grade county magistrate. He looks a bit funny, without the aura of an official at all. On the contrary, Liu Jin is sitting next to him, wearing a crimson official uniform with a golden pheasant embroidered on it.
This is something only second-grade officials can wear.
In addition, Liu Jin sits upright and looks upright, making his appearance much better than Zhu Houzhao's.
"quiet!"
Zhu Houzhao picked up the wake wood on the table and knocked it a few times. Suddenly, the originally noisy public trial scene became quiet.
"The public trial will now officially begin!"
"The Sun family of Huairou County is a party to disaster, bullying men and dominating women, losing all conscience, doing all kinds of evil, and God cannot tolerate it. Now this county is holding a public trial here to publicly judge the numerous crimes committed by the Sun family, and to bring peace to the people of Huairou County.
!”
Zhu Houzhao's voice was loud and clear, reaching every corner of the room.
"Bring the culprit in!"
Liu Jin beside him didn't talk nonsense. He shouted loudly, and soon several government officials pressed Sun Qingjiang, Sun Xuepeng, Sun Zixiang and other more than a dozen main men of the Sun family onto the stage.
"Sun Qingjiang, do you know your guilt?"
Zhu Houzhao first looked at Sun Qingjiang and asked in a conversational manner.
"I'm not guilty, I'm not guilty~"
Sun Qingjiang still refused to plead guilty and was very adamant.
"Very good. It doesn't matter if you don't plead guilty. The county will provide enough evidence."
"Dear fellow villagers of Huairou County, this man is Sun Qingjiang. The Sun family is able to run rampant in Huairou County. He is the most important protector. It is because of him in Shuntian Mansion that he provides protection for the Sun family, so the Sun family can always run rampant in Huairou County.
Unscrupulous, unscrupulous."
"If anyone wants to report him, you can stand up now and speak out one by one. Don't be impatient."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said not guilty?
It doesn't matter, there is plenty of evidence. Cutting your head ten times or eight times is enough.
"My lord, my lord, I want to report~"
As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, a large number of people stood up. Then everyone looked at each other, and soon an old woman stepped forward first and said: "I am Zhang Li from the east of the county seat of Huairou County. Originally, our family
He is also a wealthy family in Huairou County, with a thousand acres of fertile land and more than a dozen shops."
"But this is Sun Qingjiang. He went out again and fell in love with my daughter-in-law. So he used various methods to force our family to fail. In the end, he forcibly snatched my daughter-in-law away and beat my son to death.
, and finally took away all the property of our Zhang family."
"I escaped with my poor grandson by pretending to be a beggar."
After hearing what the old woman said, everyone exclaimed.
"It turns out that you are the old lady of the Zhang family, a great philanthropist in our county!"
"I really dare not admit it. If Master Zhang hadn't given my family a few taels of money for medical treatment, my son would have died of illness."
"You are really the old lady, I am your maid!"
One after another, people stood up and came to the old woman's side. Looking at the dirty old lady dressed in beggar's clothes, no one could believe that this was the old lady who used to be a landowner in Huairou County.
"Old man, do you have any evidence?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at the scene in front of him with no expression on his face, and then asked.
"Yes, of course there is. Among the female relatives of the Sun family, that woman is my daughter-in-law, and these are all the land deeds and house deeds that I have retained."
The old woman pointed to a woman on the Sun family's side and said, while tremblingly taking out a large stack of paper from her arms.
"Mother-in-law!"
After hearing the old woman's words, the woman from the Sun family couldn't help shouting.
"Alas~"
The old woman glanced at her, sighed, and then handed the things in her hands to the yamen servant. She hugged her grandson tightly. This was her lifeblood, her courage to persist in living and her future.
hope.
Zhu Houzhao took the land deed and read it carefully, then looked at Sun Qingjiang and said, "What can you say?"
"me..."
Sun Qingjiang was speechless all of a sudden. He did this in an extremely secretive manner. He thought that no one would know about it, but he didn't expect that there was still someone alive in Zhang's family.
"Sir, I also want to report~"
At this time, someone else stood up and said: "My sister was also forcibly taken away by the Sun family. I went to the Sun family several times to look for her. Not only was she not found, but her legs were broken by the Sun family."
"Later I found out that it was Sun Qingjiang who fell in love with my sister and sent gangsters to take her away by force. That person was my sister."
This made the lame man, who was wearing a cane and looking at the crowd of Sun family members, recognize his sister at a glance.
"Brother~"
Seeing this young man, her sister also cried and wanted to run over, but she had bracelets and ankle cuffs on her body, so she could only cry and shout.
"Sun Qingjiang, you robbed civilian girls to satisfy your desire for death, what can you say?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Sun Qingjiang and asked coldly.
"I…"
At this moment, Sun Qingjiang was even more speechless and could only lower his head.
"Sir, I want to report, I want to report~"
"Sun Qingjiang once passed by my house. When he saw my wife, he became interested in him and forcibly defiled her. In the end, my wife thought she had no face to see others and hanged herself to death. I wanted to report it to the official, but I was almost killed.
The gangsters from the Sun family were beaten to death."
Soon, another man stood up and complained bitterly about Sun Qingjiang's crimes.
However, this is not over yet. One after another people continue to stand up. This Sun Qingjiang, although he looks very good and has a dignified appearance, is actually a beast in clothes and very lustful. He has also harmed many people in recent years. Now he is being criticized one by one.
When he came out, everyone present gnashed their teeth in hatred towards him.
Robbing women, snatching wives and daughters, killing people and setting fires... there was nothing he couldn't do. He actually used various methods to snatch back more than half of the female relatives in his family.
"Sun Qingjiang, your crimes are so obvious that God cannot tolerate them. What else do you want to say?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Sun Qingjiang with a cold expression. He really couldn't imagine that just a small judge could have committed so many crimes.
"I have nothing to say!"
Sun Qingjiang closed his eyes, he had already reached this point, what else could he say?
"Okay, since you plead guilty, there is nothing to say."
"Then this county now declares that Sun Qingjiang raped people's daughters, raped other people's wives and daughters, killed people, set fires, robbed people of their money, embezzled and accepted bribes, and bribed court officials. He is a heinous person."
"You will be punished by death in this county for betraying you, and you will be executed immediately!"
Zhu Houzhao's voice was cold and he immediately sentenced Sun Qingjiang to death.
"No, no~"
"I am an official of the imperial court. You, a small seventh-rank magistrate, cannot sentence me to death."
"According to the imperial court's decree, we must be cautious about the death penalty now, and the sentence should be changed to exile in the Golden Continent or Australia. Even if it is the death penalty, it will be executed after the fall, and will not be executed immediately."
Upon hearing Zhu Houzhao's verdict, Sun Qingjiang immediately panicked and shouted loudly while struggling.
As long as he is exiled to the Golden Continent or Australia, he has a chance to survive. Qiuhou Wenzhan can also live a little longer, and there are still variables.
"Pull it down and chop!"
Zhu Houzhao didn't care about this. He threw the token in his hand on the ground, and immediately some officers and soldiers dragged Sun Qingjiang to the guillotine nearby.
"No, no~"
"I can't die like this, I can't die like this."
While Sun Qingjiang was struggling, he peed his pants so much that he could clearly see where he was dragging them on the ground.
"Pfft~"
Arriving at the guillotine, the executioner took a swig of wine and then spit the wine onto his ghost-headed knife.
Seeing this scene, Sun Qingjiang felt as if a little kid had seen the Lord of Hell, his face extremely pale.
"Kacha~"
Soon, with the flash of the knife, a human head fell to the ground, and Sun Qingjiang's sinful life ended.
"Haha, the sky has eyes!"
"Good kill!"
"Son, have you seen it?"
"You have today too, you killed well!"
"happy!"
Seeing this scene, the melon-eating crowd below applauded one after another, and many people knelt down. The cycle of heaven and retribution was not good. As for the people of the Sun family, their faces were all pale with fear at this time!
