It seems that Liang Ji was really hit hard by Li Yunxi this time. Not only did he not ask the question a third time, he intended to escape his death sentence.
Even when he was sentenced to death by Zhu Han, there was no reaction at all.
The officers and men of the Black Cavalry Army did not care who Liang Ji was.
Zhu Han gave the order, and the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army drove up Liang Ji and walked towards the execution ground.
Along the way, all the people watching the public trial cheered.
"Well done!"
"Finally someone can punish these corrupt officials."
"His Royal Highness is so wise, no wonder he is the King of England."
"Brother in front of you, if you don't know how to praise, you don't need to say anything."
Liang Ji was pressed on the execution platform in front of everyone.
The executioner took a sip of wine and sprayed it on the execution knife.
At this time, there is no need to look at the time or anything.
He raised the Ghost Head Sword high with both hands.
He raised the knife and dropped it, and Liang Ji's head rolled directly to the ground.
"good!"
I don't know who started it, but there was a roar of applause at the execution site.
When Liang Ji's head was brought to Zhu Han, he just glanced at it.
But it was Liang Ji who was destined to die, and he waved his hand impatiently: "What to do with the head, follow the previous rules, next."
I don’t know whether it was intentional or accidental, but this time, another official from the Ministry of Finance was pressed up.
When this guy came up, he was naturally just like Liang Ji and wanted to make excuses.
Zhu Han was too lazy to spend a lot of effort on such a person.
He turned his head and asked his bodyguard: "Didn't I just say that the people who have been wronged should report the crime directly?"
"Is there anything related to this guy?"
The guard didn't say much, and immediately went around to the places where the Black Cavalry had set up where reports could be made.
Soon the guard returned to Zhu Han: "Go back to your lord, there is nothing related to this guy."
When the Finance Ministry official heard this, he subconsciously raised his neck.
But he doesn't have to wait long to be proud.
Just listen to Zhu Han's dull voice: "Okay, let's check the accounts."
The proud smile of the Finance Ministry official disappeared in an instant.
The same process as the review of Liangji was used to directly bring over the financial department's work and related accounts that the official was responsible for.
Then things become simple.
close the door!
Let go...Li Yunxi!
In front of all the people, Li Yunxi calmly picked up the account and looked through it.
After watching, Li Yunxi directly stated the result: "Returning to the prince, among these accounts, there is a deficit of more than 30,000 taels of silver."
The people watching the public trial cursed angrily.
"This guy actually embezzled so much money."
When the officials from the Ministry of Finance heard this, they immediately began to question it.
But this time, before Zhu Han could speak, the people around him had already spoken.
"This accountant has a photographic memory, so don't embarrass yourself with this little trick of yours."
"In front of the prince's counting house, you monsters and monsters can no longer hide."
"It's useless to argue. The female accountant has a sharp eye. You guys can't hide it from him."
Zhu Han patted the gavel gently.
The sound was obviously not very loud, but the people around him fell silent instantly.
Immediately, Zhu Han sentenced him to death again.
Thirty thousand taels of silver may not be considered an attitude by the great names of later generations.
But now that the Ming Dynasty has just been founded, these 30,000 taels of silver are definitely a huge sum of money.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it is already extremely merciful to not skin these guys directly.
It wasn't until this moment that Xu Da suddenly realized: "So that's it. The reason why this kid Qiwu has been with Liang Ji for so long is because of the plan he has set up now."
Liu Song finally understood why Zhu Han had gone to great lengths to let Liang Ji compete with Li Yunxi again and again.
All the troubles before turned out to be preparations for this incident.
By now, Li Yunxi has become an absolute authority among the people watching the public trial.
Everyone knows that Li Yunxi has a photographic memory and has extremely amazing attainments in arithmetic.
No matter how complicated the accounts are, Li Yunxi can remember and calculate them immediately as long as he takes a look at them.
Moreover, it is also easy to find the amount of deficit in these accounts.
As for whether Li Yunxi really has this ability, it is not difficult for Liu Song to be completely sure.
But he knew one thing. In the eyes of the people watching the trial, Li Yunxi definitely had this ability.
And this is enough.
What Zhu Han needs is the attitude of the people on the scene.
As for what other people think, Zhu Han doesn't care.
Liu Song actually didn't agree with Zhu Han's approach.
However, he didn't say much.
Although there are some minor flaws in the procedures, the corruption of these guys is definitely real.
With the ability that Li Yunxi had shown before, even if she really couldn't fully calculate all the shortfalls in the accounts.
But given the approximate number of questions posted, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Zhu Han did not wrongly accuse those people, nor did he kill innocent people indiscriminately.
If it were Zhu Yuanzhang, there would probably not be a few people left in the families of these two wives, Liang Ji and the Finance Ministry official.
Zhu Han has only beheaded two heads until now. For their families, the stolen money is only recovered, and other relevant participants are at best exiled and detained.
Because of Li Yunxi's existence and the previous competition between Zhu Han and Liang Ji.
When I reviewed the subsequent ones, the speed became faster and faster.
As long as an official is put on trial, there is no particularly difficult injustice to deal with.
Directly ask Li Yunxi to check the accounts and make sure they are accurate.
It may not take an official more than a quarter of an hour from the time he is brought to the public trial stage to the time the verdict is pronounced.
Because some departments do not have that many accounts relatively speaking.
And during the trial process, Zhu Han became more and more comfortable.
The first is that when an official is to be interrogated later, you can first check to see if anyone has sued him.
Then let the officers and men of the Black Cavalry Army go to the relevant yamen to retrieve the account books.
After the people arrive, just ask Li Yunxi to check the accounts on the spot.
And you don’t have to read them all.
Zhu Han taught Li Yunxi and said: "When you check the accounts, you only need to find out the death penalty standard, and let others calculate the rest."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Yunxi said crisply.
Therefore, Zhu Han almost turned today's public trial into an assembly line operation.
The most time-consuming thing among them was the time Li Yunxi spent looking at the account books.
The people watching the public trial cheered every time Zhu Han chopped off a head from the very beginning.
Later, I saw that I had become a little numb.
No matter what happens, it will no longer be strange the more you see it.
"Look, another one has been cut."
"Up to this point in the trial, there is not even one person who has not been beheaded. Is it true that none of our Yanjing officials are good?"
"If you want to find a good person among those who are officials, I think you are thinking too much."
"Today I put it here, there is absolutely no good thing in the entire six departments of Yanjing. If there is one who is not beheaded, I will eat that thing about the reincarnation of grains!"
The people outside the Ministry of Punishment were looking at the excitement.
The officers and soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army suddenly began to drive away the people.
This move immediately aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.
"We are watching the prince's interrogation. Why do you drive people away?"
"My lord is watching from above. If you dare to take action, my lord will never spare you."
The officers and men of the Black Cavalry Army did not dare to use violence directly for fear of causing any disturbance.
I can only explain to these people in a good voice.
"Dear elders, this is what the prince means."
A captain of the Black Cavalry Army just opened his mouth and immediately received seventy or eighty rebuttals.
"That's nonsense. His Royal Highness is definitely the prince who cares most about our people. How could you let you drive us away?"
"Don't you guys want to live anymore? How dare you pretend to convey the prince's will."
"Are you trying to help others do evil?"
The common people were so talkative that the captain of the Black Cavalry could hardly get a word in.
I just forced myself to bite the bullet and explain myself.
"Dear elders, our criminal department only has such a big place, but there are many people coming from other places. They also want to see the results of the public trial."
"But if you don't leave here, no one else can squeeze in."
"Now that you have been watching for a while, you should make room for other people, don't you think so?"
After explaining during the day, the common people understood what the Black Cavalry meant.
Many people in this era are relatively simple.
Although they were reluctant, the officers and soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army said so, and they reluctantly left the Criminal Department Yamen under the arrangement of the Black Cavalry Army.
Under the organization of the Black Cavalry Army, the people who came to watch the public trial began to flow slowly.
The first wave of people who watched the public trial left one after another under the arrangements of the Black Cavalry Army.
After leaving the square of the Xingbu Yamen and arriving outside.
Many of them were also surprised.
"Dear me, there are so many people outside!"
"There are already enough people inside that we can't even find a place to stay. I didn't expect there to be even more people outside!"
"No wonder the prince wants us to make room. If we stay inside, they might not be able to see anything."
"In other words, His Royal Highness the King of England has our best interests at heart. He has even considered this kind of thing clearly."
Although there were originally many people outside the Yanjing Criminal Department Yamen, compared to the entire Yanjing city, they were only a handful.
As the first batch of people who watched the public trial went home, the situation here gradually spread.
"Uncle Qi, why didn't you go to the public trial?" A young man in his twenties had just returned to his door. When he saw a man coming out, he immediately said with a smile.
The young man's face still showed excitement that could not be concealed until now.
The middle-aged man known as Uncle Qi curled his lips and said, "What's so good about it? It's just like before, with loud thunder and light rain."
"These officials only know how to protect each other, so don't put too much hope in them." Uncle Qi said to the young man in a tone of experience.
"You're still queuing up at the Criminal Department Yamen in the middle of the night. It's better to sleep a little longer if you have this time."
"Uncle Qi, you were wrong this time. Today the prince held a trial in person. Seven of the heads of those high-ranking officials have been chopped off, and it looks like more will be chopped off. Unfortunately, we don't have the chance to see it.
Already."
Uncle Qi was stunned when he heard this and said in disbelief: "Little bastard, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. Uncle Qi, you really should have sent me to queue up with you last night. You didn't know that today..." Xiao Lei was dancing and telling Uncle Qi what happened before.
However, Xiaolei's expressive ability is really average. Most of the wonderful things he says are not very exciting.
But even so, Uncle Qi was very happy when he heard it.
Until Xiao Lei finished speaking, Uncle Qi said in annoyance: "I really missed it this time. If I had known earlier, I would have gotten up early."
Xiao Lei suggested: "Your seventh uncle, let's go there after dinner?"
Uncle Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid the Ministry of Punishment is already blocked and it's difficult to move forward. You won't see anything if you go there at this time, but it will be a waste of energy."
"The same goes for you kid. Why did you come back after seeing half of it?"
Hearing Uncle Qi's words, Xiao Lei suddenly felt aggrieved: "I don't want to come back either. We were driven back by the Black Cavalry."
After feeling depressed, Xiao Lei felt energetic again: "Uncle Qi, let's go early now, maybe we can see something."
"Your Majesty drove away all the people who were waiting at the Criminal Department first, and replaced them with another group of people. I hope that all of us, the common people, can see those corrupt officials being punished."
"If we're lucky, we might be able to catch up."
When Uncle Qi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He took Xiao Lei's hand and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's hurry over and line up. If it's later, I'm afraid it'll be too late."
Xiao Lei, a young man, was pulled so hard by Uncle Qi, a man in his forties, that he almost lost his balance: "Uncle Qi, don't be anxious, I'll eat first."
But Uncle Qi said without looking back: "Eat whatever you want. If you don't hurry up, there will only be more people queuing up, and then it won't be our turn."
"No one will die if he misses a meal. If you can't see the public trial, then you really can't see it."
Although he said that, he saw a bun seller on the road and Uncle Qi bought two buns for Xiao Lei.
"How much?" Uncle Qi said, preparing a dollar.
"Five cents each." The bun shop owner said casually: "You two are so anxious, what are you going to do?"
Uncle Qi didn't hide anything and directly told about the public trial.
