There is food and drink, and it is simply not too comfortable!
But not long after, they became inexplicably irritable.
So quiet!
Inside the cell, it was really eerily quiet.
They can hear their own heavy breathing, their own heartbeat, and even the sound of their gastrointestinal peristalsis.
But except for their own sounds, they can't hear any sounds from the outside world.
At this time, they began to feel inexplicably irritable, frightened, and uneasy.
There's no light, no sound.
So much so that they completely lost the concept of time.
Obviously only a short time has passed.
But this time, in their feelings, was infinitely magnified.
In just half an hour, in their perception, a whole day seemed to have passed.
The fear and irritability in my heart are infinitely magnified as time goes by.
"Let me out! Let me out quickly!"
"Did you hear that? Humph! Just wait for me. When I get out, I will kill you all!"
"You've all been cleaned up by me, hum! I have to kill your whole family!"
This voice revealed infinite ferocity and annoyance.
The sound inside was faint and could be heard by the soldiers guarding outside.
But the sounds from outside could not be transmitted at all.
This has something to do with some of the arrangements given by Li Min.
Of course, it was impossible for the soldiers guarding outside to shout like them.
They even walked on tiptoes for fear of making too much noise.
Their commander, General Li, had given strict instructions not to allow them to make any noise.
Although in their hearts, they were very dissatisfied with this child's play approach.
Now that we are adults, are we still afraid of the dark?
Is it useful to close a small dark room?
But as time went by, the voices of the eleven prisoners in the cell gradually changed.
At the beginning, it was the evil wolves who constantly threatened and intimidated me.
Gradually, it became hoarse and hysterical.
It seems that they have become more and more irritable.
This situation made the soldiers guarding outside feel very strenuous.
There was no punishment or even the slightest abuse. How could they be so upset?
It’s so unreasonable and baffling!
But, next, their voices became more and more manic.
Getting more and more crazy.
Their curses became more and more vicious, making people feel chilling in their hearts.
This couldn't help but make the soldiers defending outside feel hairy in their hearts.
It seems that this quiet room is not as simple as I imagined.
Otherwise, why would they scream so loudly?
Then, after a while, the prisoners' voices became hoarse.
Moreover, they no longer threaten or curse.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone outside?"
"Who's out there? Make a noise!"
"Please, let me out! Oh, let me out!"
"I don't want to be in there anymore!"
"Whatever you want to know, I said, let me out quickly!"
Such changes shocked the defensive soldiers outside.
This is less than a day!
Are the people inside unable to bear it anymore?
This, this is too scary, isn’t it?
Before I knew it, it was already evening.
The shouting inside gradually stopped, as if they had fallen asleep.
But at night, they could still hear screams from time to time, which made their hair stand on end.
This is only one day...
On the second day, it was even more scary.
On the first day, they would still curse and beg for mercy.
However, by the second day, basically no human words were heard.
The sounds coming from inside were all like howls of wild beasts.
It sounded extremely frightening.
Even though it was broad daylight, it was still creepy.
In three days, not to mention the miserable experiences the eleven prisoners held in the cell had.
Even for the soldiers guarding outside, it was an extremely terrifying ordeal.
It's so scary, so scary!
They would rather be on the battlefield, fighting with the enemy with swords and guns, than hear any more creepy howls!
…
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, Li Min, the king of Shu, directly ordered people to build a high platform in the center of Qinghe County.
In the middle is a very open square, enough to accommodate 10,000 to 20,000 people.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Li Min had ordered the Qinghe County garrison to maintain order at the scene early.
And early in the morning, countless people walked out of their homes and walked to the square impatiently.
Today is the public trial of the King of Shu, a rare event in ten years.
If you miss it, you will have to wait at least ten more years!
By the time the trial started, the entire square, which could accommodate 10,000 to 20,000 people, was already besieged by the people.
Outside, there are still a steady stream of people approaching, creating a spectacle of empty streets.
When Li Min and a group of his cronies came to ascend the hall, if the safe passage hadn't been prepared in advance, he might not have been able to squeeze in.
Not long after, Li Min came to the high platform.
All the prisoners were also brought to the scene.
Li Yuanfang had already arranged five hundred Huya Special Forces soldiers around the high platform.
Ensure the safety of the prince without any risk.
All senior officials from Qinghe County also came to the scene to observe.
After everyone arrived, Li Min didn't talk too much. Instead, he started to examine the case directly.
The first case that was tried was that of Liu Qin.
"Someone, bring the plaintiff Liu Qin to court!"
Not long after, Liu Qin was brought up.
Snapped!
Li Min was stunned, and then asked: "Who is there?"
I always feel that this sentence is so silly, just like the police in later generations asking people for their gender. You can tell it at a glance, but you have to ask again.
After all, this is the procedure!
"Liu Qin, a civilian girl, pays her respects to Shangguan!"
Li Min nodded and said: "Now that I'm free, what grievances do you have? Tell me in court!"
Liu Qin stood up and continued to express his grievances in the hall.
"Come here, bring the defendant Niu Er to court!"
Not long after, Niu Er was brought up.
Seeing Niu Er, Cui He, the governor of Qinghe County, and other officials were all surprised.
I originally thought that Niu Er would be severely tortured.
But now they discovered that it wasn't.
There were no scratches on their faces, hands or feet.
Even though he was wearing a coat, there were no traces of torture.
But every one of them was as wilted as a used eggplant.
Especially everyone's eyes, which are as gray as death, give people a chilling feeling.
They really want to know, what happened in these three days?
Your Highness, King of Shu, what happened to them?
Not long after, Niu Er was brought up.
Snapped!
Li Min was stunned and asked sternly: "Niu Er, let me ask you, what is the relationship between the deceased and you?"
In the original case, Niu Er claimed that the deceased was his cousin, and then used the identity of the deceased's family members to blackmail him.
When Li Min tried the case, he first used the relationship between the deceased and him as a breakthrough.
However, even though some people at the scene knew that the deceased had nothing to do with Niu Eryi Wenqian.
But it is absolutely impossible for Niu Er to admit it.
Because this case has already resulted in lives being lost, if it is admitted, the consequences will be too serious.
But at this time, Niu Erji shivered, as if he was still afraid of something.
As for the question asked by the King of Shu, in his opinion, it was no longer an important matter:
"It doesn't matter, he is just a beggar who is dying in the west of the city. The villain doesn't know him at all!"
Weng!
The scene is like throwing an ice cube into a pot of boiling oil and it explodes all of a sudden.
This Niu Er actually has nothing to do with the deceased!
He actually admitted it himself!
He is worthy of being the King of Shu!
A scoundrel like Niu Er could only bow his head and admit his guilt in front of the King of Shu.
The square is very big, and it is impossible to get a loudspeaker when handling a case on site.
Therefore, only the audience in the front row could hear the content of the interrogation.
But this news is spreading at an extremely fast speed.
It didn't take long for all the people to know the news, and almost everyone was shocked.
The most frightened person at the scene was Qinghe County Magistrate Zhao Wu.
This case was tried by him and has been finalized.
But now when the King of Shu is trying the case, problems arise as soon as he opens his mouth.
Just for this alone, he would at least be guilty of unclear conclusions and disregarding human life.
Not to mention, there is no way this is the only flaw in the entire case.
Li Min continued to ask: "How did that beggar die?"
"That beggar was about to die. He was thrown into a tea shop by the villain and was already unconscious. Then the villain pretended to save him, covered his mouth and nose, and suffocated him to death."
boom!
The man was actually killed by Niu Er. This news once again caused a sensation!
Qinghe County Magistrate Zhao Wu's face was pale at this time.
Even Cui He, the governor of Qinghe County, looked extremely ugly.
Although this case has nothing to do with commercial tax.
But for some reason, Cui He felt more and more uneasy.
Li Min continued the interrogation: "Niu Er, you originally deliberately found a dying beggar and then killed him with your own hands in an attempt to extort money."
"But why did the government listen to your words and directly arrest the husband of the Liu family after arriving at the government?"
This question is the real sharp weapon, pointing directly at the Qinghe County Government.
When Li Min raised this question, everyone on the scene became fascinated.
Qinghe County Magistrate Zhao Wu even raised his heart to his throat.
Niu Er, who was being interrogated, seemed to be somewhat aware that this question seemed to be a very important one.
However, at this time, his spirit was on the verge of collapse.
His thoughts were still stuck in that dark, terrifying chamber without any light or sound.
He is completely unable to think normally now.
During World War II in later generations, people who were tortured by the Japanese were subjected to this kind of torture.
More than 99% of them have suffered a mental breakdown. Of course, they have been detained for much longer than Niu Er.
Those prisoners who are lucky enough to survive may suffer from various manic symptoms at any time in the following decades.
What's more, this bully has just been released, so it's hard to think about the problem seriously.
"Because of this matter, it was Xiao Yi, the yamen servant in the county government, who induced me to do this."
"Xiao Yi came to me and gave me some advice. He said that after the project is completed, I only need to give him 10,000 yuan as a thank you."
"And the benefits that villains can obtain are far more than these. So after filing a lawsuit with the county government, it will naturally be against the villain."
This news detonated the scene again.
The level of excitement far exceeds all previous news.
Unexpectedly, it was not just the collusion between officials and gangsters that caused harm to people!
It's the people in the government who want to take the initiative to harm others!
Snapped!
"Come here, arrest Qinghe County Yamen servant Xiao Yi!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Soon, someone went down to Qinghe County to arrest Yamen servant Xiao Yi.
The governor of Qinghe County is in Qinghe County.
Of course, the court officials of Qinghe County are not required to maintain order when trying cases here.
Therefore, the yamen servant, Xiao Yi, was not present.
However, it is not that far away from the scene.
"Come here, capture Zhao Wu, the magistrate of Qinghe County who has neglected his duties and wasted no time on human life!"
The Qinghe County Magistrate was at the scene.
After Li Min's order was issued, a team of guards immediately stepped forward like wolves and tigers and directly took Zhao Wu down.
"It's unjust! Your Majesty, I'm wronged! I really don't know anything about this matter!"
Li Min glanced at Zhao Wu with a half-smile.
"You don't know anything? Humph! I will postpone the trial of this case!"
"Come here, take him down, wait for the trial, and then imprison him after the case is interrogated!"
Cui He, the governor of Qinghe County, opened his mouth to ask for mercy, but for a moment, he didn't know where to start.
After handling the case in such a muddle-headed manner, his subordinates actually took the initiative to cause gangsters to commit crimes.
As a superior officer, he cannot escape suspicion.
As an imperial envoy, I naturally have the right to capture him.
Li Min, on the other hand, had no intention of hearing the case on the spot.
Neither Xiao Yi nor County Magistrate Zhao Wu could honestly explain the problem on the spot.
If that's the case, let's control the people for the time being.
The case of Liu Qin's family can be concluded on the spot.
"The case of Liu Qin Tea Shop was originally misjudged by the county magistrate Zhao Wu. He was ordered to release the Liu family husband from prison and return the tea shop to its original owner. The losses to the tea shop were discounted to 100,000 yuan, and the Qinghe County Government
Compensate to Liu’s Tea Shop.”
After listening to the trial of the King of Shu, Liu Qin lost his voice in pain on the spot and shouted "Master Qingtian!"
Countless people in the audience cried with her, feeling happy for this little girl.
But those merchants whose victimized shops were forced to transfer saw their eyes light up at this time.
This prince is really the Great Master Qingtian!
Look at the Liu family. Not only did the tea shop return to its original owner, the county government was also ordered to pay compensation of 100,000 yuan.
If they file a lawsuit, wouldn't their shops be returned to their original owners? At the same time, they will be given a certain amount of compensation?
Originally, they were afraid of the Cui family's revenge later.
But now, with the support of King Shu, what do they have to fear?
This is no longer the case.
In the past, it was difficult to tell anyone about something.
But now, the news can be delivered to Chang'an very quickly.
Even if you file a lawsuit yourself, the Cui family won't dare to make any big moves, right?
The worst case scenario is that after taking back the shop, sell it directly and make a living elsewhere.
At least I can get some money from this store.
The people at the scene chanted "Master Qingtian" in unison for a long time.
Li Min waited for the scene to calm down before continuing to interrogate the next case.
As expected, countless problems were discovered in these eleven human life lawsuits.
And every rogue Li Min interrogated was a simple interrogation, and he asked them to reveal all their problems.
Next, Li Min did not dig into the case today.
Because these eleven rogues are on the verge of mental collapse, but the others are not.
Today's interrogation can't produce anything.
Li Min only conducted the trial on the case itself.
Although Li Min tried every case clearly and extremely quickly.
However, it took most of a day to complete the trial of eleven cases.
Therefore, those who should be released were released, and those who should be arrested were arrested.
The store should be returned if it should be returned and compensated if it should be compensated.
In the end, Qinghe County Government had to pay out more than one million yuan in compensation.
Now, Cui He, the governor of Qinghe County, and a group of officials, business and tax officials all had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Just when they thought the case had been heard, they were about to go back and hold a small meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Unexpectedly, the King of Shu, Li Min, once again made a penalty that surprised everyone.
During the trial, Li Min only made orders to release, arrest, and compensate.
But no punishment was given to the eleven scoundrels.
And at the last moment, the penalty finally came.
It turned out to be a penalty of beheading on the spot!
The location is just under the high platform!
Wow!
Once this penalty was awarded, a large space suddenly became vacant in front of the stage.
Those melon-eating spectators in the front row are afraid of being splashed with blood.
At that moment, all the women and children were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated from the scene, not daring to look at this bloody scene.
But those high-ranking men continued to watch with great interest.
Not long after, the eleven thugs were pushed off the stage and knelt on the ground.
Then Li Min's personal soldiers chopped off the heads of these eleven scoundrels neatly.
The scene of blood splattering and heads rolling around made the scene burst into cheers.
However, there was a vibrato to this voice.
The legs of those tall and tall men were also trembling slightly.
In fact, this scene was too bloody. For people who have never seen such a scene, it is impossible not to be scared.
Especially the officials on the stage were so frightened that they could hardly sit still in their chairs.
What's more, are the people who were just arrested today.
More than half of them were frightened to the point of peeing.
The beheading scene now might be them as the protagonists tomorrow.
For a moment, the stage was wet and filled with anger.
Li Min ordered people to take all the captured prisoners into prison.
Then on the high platform, another news was announced.
That is, anyone who has any grievances can go to the imperial court to lodge a complaint.
The case was handled on the spot today, although the commercial tax issue was still not touched.
But a hole has been opened, making it difficult for the Qinghe Cui family to cover it up.
It's only a matter of time that the problem is found sooner or later.
Li Min was in a very happy mood.
Then Li Min called Xue Rengui and gave some secret instructions. Xue Rengui immediately went down to make arrangements.
Since the King of Shu issued an order, all people who have grievances can go to the other courtyard where the King of Shu is staying to complain.
Suddenly, many merchants whose shops had been embezzled began to make moves.
Previously, their shops were embezzled and most of their wealth was misappropriated.
But they were afraid of the powerful Cui family of Qinghe, and they dared to get angry but dare not speak out.
In the end, they chose to swallow their anger.
Even they did not have no complaints about the court and the King of Shu.
Because if it weren’t for the King of Shu’s suggestion, or if the imperial court didn’t want to carry out business tax reform.
The Cui family of Qinghe did not dare to do such a thing, and they would not be in such a situation.
But today, the King of Shu publicly tried the case, which gave them a reassurance.
It turns out that no matter how powerful the Cui family of Qinghe is, they can never break out of the waves in front of the King of Shu.
As a result, many persecuted businessmen walked out of their homes and walked towards the other courtyard where the King of Shu was staying.
…
At this time, Cui He also felt nervous.
Although they have overestimated King Shu as much as possible.
But they still didn't expect that King Shu's ability was even higher than their predictions.
It is still difficult for them to understand that it only took three days, and they did not even use heavy duty.
How on earth did the King of Shu get the eleven rogues to reveal the truth without any resistance?
Of course, these are not important now.
The most urgent task is how to deal with the current situation.
The layout they originally thought was seamless was suddenly torn open by the King of Shu.
If it can't be repaired in time, this hole will probably cause them to collapse.
"Master, today the King of Shu is hearing the case in public, and those businessmen will definitely come to complain."
"And the King of Shu seems to know magic. It seems that no one can hide the secret in front of him. The King of Shu will definitely be able to find clues from it. What should we do now?"
The head of the Cui family took a deep breath, pondered for a while and then said: "Send someone immediately to intercept the businessmen who complained on the road."
"Then tell them to shut up obediently. Forget it. Don't get involved in this matter. I'll find someone else to do it."
Cui He stretched out his hand, made a gesture of wiping his neck, and asked thoughtfully: "Does the head of the family want to silence him?"
The head of the Cui family snorted coldly and said, "If we kill people and silence them now, wouldn't that mean telling people the truth? There are many ways to silence people."
"And we must not use people from my Cui family, only outsiders to complete this matter. Well, let Cui An handle this matter."
After Cui He left, the head of the Cui family called Cui An over and gave instructions.
This Cui An is the person in the Cui family who is responsible for doing such dirty things.
This Cui An does things very safely and without leakage.
I never make any mistakes when doing things.
Therefore, the head of the Cui family was extremely relieved to leave the matter to him.
But today, after getting this task, Cui An seemed to be in an extremely difficult situation.
"Master, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle!"
