While He Anmin was chattering, the large army of soldiers and horses entered the county government square. At this point, He Anmin had no choice but to follow the instructions and start setting up a wooden platform in the square. Pei Yuanmin and Hou Changqing rested in the government office.
After a while, I drank some tea to relieve the heat and waited for the decoration outside to be completed.
During this period, He Anmin came several times to persuade the two adults not to execute the prisoner in public, but Hou Changqing and Pei Yuanmin refused verbally and gave him a stern warning. He Anmin simply stopped talking and just sighed longly in secret. He took some time to return.
In the back house, he ordered his family, his wife and young master to pack their packages, disguise themselves and leave the city.
As the sun set, the weather became slightly cooler. The wooden platform in the square was finally set up. Five hundred Forbidden Army soldiers were divided into several teams and surrounded the wooden platform from all directions, doing a good job of guarding them. At this time, five to six thousand people had gathered in the square.
There are still many people coming from all over the country. Moreover, many people from villages outside the city got the news and rushed to the county town.
Pei Yuanyu and Hou Changqing, accompanied by the pale He Anmin, came to the wooden platform surrounded by dozens of Forbidden Army soldiers.
"Dong dong dong!" The big drum in front of the Yamen beat several times, and the noise in the square gradually subsided. Thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the officials on the high platform, their brows furrowed and complex expressions on their faces.
"Pei Shaoqing, please. Finish your work early and rest early." Hou Changqing said.
Pei Yuanyu nodded, took a few steps to the stage, coughed and said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers of Changheng County, my surname is Pei Yuanyu, and I hold the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. I specialize in this department.
Review and judge difficult cases, crack down on those who commit crimes, and protect the safety of innocent people. Today in Changheng County, there is a public case that needs to be heard in public. Therefore, I want you to come here to watch, and if you can correct it, you can encourage it.
, take this as a lesson, and take it as a warning. Without further ado, come, bring the prisoner up."
After Pei Yuanyu finished speaking, Hou Changqing waved his hand, and several Forbidden Army soldiers escorted the Mo couple onto the stage. Amidst the scolding, the shackles on the disheveled couple's bodies rattled, and they were forced to kneel down on the stage.
There was a commotion among the crowd in the audience, some people's eyes were filled with fire, their fists began to clenched, and low curses began to sound in the crowd.
"I believe many of you know these two people. Yes, they are from Mojiaji in Changheng County. The man's name is Mo Huanyin, and the woman's name is Li Xiulian. They have committed unbelievable beastly behavior. Human beings
It is said that tiger poison will not eat its seeds, but these two people actually killed their own daughters. They are worse than animals, and they are completely unscrupulous. I believe many of you have heard about this case, and the court sent people to investigate the case and arrest them.
At that time, they were struggling with manpower and actually detained the police officers, which was simply lawless. However, fortunately they realized their crimes in the capital. Now let's listen to the confessions of the two criminals, Mo Huanyin and Li Xiulian." Pei Yuanyu said loudly.
The commotion in the crowd became more and more serious. Everyone's eyes were fixed on a black-robed man in the south. That man was none other than Luo Wenyi, who had been promoted to one of the Heavenly Dragon Protectors. At this moment, he was standing there with a livid face.
.Looking at everything that happened on the stage. Without his words, the believers in the audience would not have taken any substantial action.
"The criminal Mo Huanyin and Li Xiulian are guilty, do you know your crime?" Pei Yuanyu shouted loudly.
The disheveled couple were silent, and Pei Yuanyu shouted coldly: "What? You want to deny it?"
Li Xiulian trembled and shouted loudly: "People's women know their sins, people's women know their sins."
Mo Huanyin paused and shouted: "The villain knows his crime, the villain knows his crime." They had to admit their crime. In the capital, they were tough-talking at first. They thought that the Holy Gong and Qingjiao in which they believed could give them
With the blessing, they felt that they would be fine and all the disasters would be over, so they gritted their teeth and read the teachings loudly, and the Holy Father screamed countless times. But they soon discovered that they could not bear the yamen
The punishments in the yamen. Even if they want to die and be happy, or go to the Qingjiao Yunxiao Temple to enjoy the blessings, this wish cannot be realized. The various punishments in the yamen are specially designed to make people want to live but not die. They want to live but can't, and want to die but can't.
, tortured them extremely painfully. Finally, they couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed. No matter whether they were alive or dead, they just wanted to be happy. So they confessed according to the wishes of the imperial court, and today, they will say it according to their arrangements.
Say something.
"Very good. Since you two are aware of your crime, I would like to ask you, what crime have you committed?" Pei Yuanyu shouted in a deep voice.
"We...we killed our daughter Mo Ruyan." The two couples replied with trembling bodies.
"How did you kill Mo Ruyan?" Pei Yuanyu asked.
"We... we tied her to a tree... and beat her to death with rocks..." Mo Huanyin's voice trembled, and Li Xiulian was already in tears. After all this, the couple actually had some awakening.
"Then why did you do this beastly thing? That's your daughter, your own flesh and blood. How did you do it?" Pei Yuanyu's voice was cold, and even when he asked such a question, he didn't seem to have any emotional factors.
"That's...that's because..." Mo Huanyin hesitated. He wanted to look up at the brothers and sisters in the congregation, and wanted to get comfort and strength from them. But as soon as he raised his head, something came to his mind.
There was a buzzing sound, and the whole person fell to the ground. That was when a soldier raised his foot and kicked him on the back of the head, almost knocking him out.
"Mo Huanyin, Li Xiulian and his wife, I want to ask you a question. Tell me, why are you looking around?" Pei Yuanyu shouted coldly.
"I said, I said, don't hit him." Li Xiulian shouted: "We joined the Qing Sect, and they wanted to select my family Ruyan to be a saint in the sect. Ruyan refused to live or die, and planned to escape in the middle of the night. We were beaten by
I discovered it. Some people said that she was possessed by the devil and that the devil had invaded her heart. She must be put to death, otherwise our husband and wife would not be saved by the Holy Father. So my husband and I discussed it and tied her up...with stones...with stones.
I'll crush her to death. Ah, ah, I'll crush my daughter to death."
Li Xiulian cried and screamed in pain and went crazy.
"Shut up, don't make any noise, and answer your question properly, or I will punish you severely." Pei Yuanyu shouted coldly. With this sentence, Li Xiulian shut up, because she knew that the so-called 'severe punishment' contained unbearable torture.
She didn't want to suffer that kind of torture again, so she kept her mouth shut.
"What is the Qing Cult you just mentioned? From the way you talk, you have joined a cult? Are the people in the cult asking you to do this?" Pei Yuan Yuan said coldly.
The crowd in the square suddenly fell silent for a few breaths, because everyone heard the harsh word "cult". The anger in their hearts had been ignited. The crowd became more commotion, and the believers near the wooden platform began to move towards the middle of the wooden platform.
Crowded.
"Pa, pa, pa." The whip flew and fell mercilessly on their bodies, heads and faces.
"Back off, back off, if you don't back off, we will be shot to death." The soldiers of the Forbidden Army shouted and cursed, waving their whips and weapons.
The pain of the whip and the flickering of the weapon made these people wake up a little. Besides, their leader hadn't spoken yet, so they couldn't act rashly.
Luo Wenyi's face was as dark as ink, as gloomy as the sky before a storm. However, he still did not give any instructions to the congregation.
"Answer my question." Faced with the silence of Mr. and Mrs. Mo, Pei Yuanyu asked coldly.
Mr. and Mrs. Mo were silent.
Pei Yuanyu sternly rebuked: "If you still dare to resist the government at this time, then you can't blame me for being rude. Come on, I'll be punished."
"No, no, no, sir, don't want to be punished. That's what we say." The Mo's and his wife do not want to suffer any more cruel punishment. Now that things have happened, there is nothing left to say. Everything will be said according to their wishes.
"My wife and I were forced to join the Qing Cult. The Qing Cult is a cult, which caused us to kill our daughter. The Qing Cult is a cult, and my husband and I regret it. I hope everyone will wake up early and not be poisoned by the Qing Cult.
It's all lies. There is no Yunxiao Temple at all, and the Holy Duke is also a fake." Mo Huanyin said all the words Pei Yuanyu asked them to say beforehand, and at the current point, he could no longer care.
What's the matter? I just want to survive and not be tortured.
The people and believers in the square were in a rage. Mo Huanyin and his wife said such treacherous words in public and slandered the Qingjiao in such a way that the devout believers were furious.
"Traitors! They are possessed by demons."
"These two people possessed by the devil actually said such disrespectful words. This is an insult to our holy religion. How can we allow them to talk nonsense?"
The congregants were yelling and talking.
Someone shouted loudly: "Mo Huanyin, Li Xiulian, you two dare to slander the Qingjiao, and your sin is unforgivable. From now on, you have been expelled from the Qingjiao, and will no longer be protected by the Holy Father. You will be punished by God, and you will be punished forever.
Those who fall into hell and suffer the punishment of being devoured by thousands of ghosts.”
Mo Huanyin and his wife had pale faces and sat slumped on the ground speechless. Pei Yuanyu looked coldly at the audience and shouted sternly: "Who was talking just now? Stand up."
Someone in the audience was about to come out, but was held back by someone next to him.
Pei Yuanyu shouted coldly: "Listen to me, everyone. The imperial court has known that the youth religion is rampant here, and I just hope that you can restrain yourself. But you are becoming more and more outrageous and really abominable. Mo Huanyin and Li Xiulian
The couple joined a cult and were obsessed with killing their daughter. This is a human tragedy. Cults harm people, don’t you know how to wake up? Today, I specially brought the Mo couple here for public trial.
This is an opportunity to remind you not to be bewitched by evil cults again. Now, I am announcing that after investigation and investigation by the imperial court, the so-called Qingjiao has been determined to be a heretical sect, and the Qingjiao will be banned from now on. All people who join this religion will no longer be allowed to participate in the evil cult from now on.
Activities, otherwise they will be severely punished. Members of the cult in this county will take the initiative to go to the county government office to confess within ten days from now, and they can forget the blame. After ten days, anyone who still participates in cult activities will be arrested and jailed. The leader of the cult in this county must be arrested before dark
Surrender yourself and seek leniency. Otherwise, you will be executed without mercy.”
When Pei Yuanyu finished speaking, the entire church in the square was shocked into silence. They never expected that a group of officials came today and brought such explosive news. The Qingjiao was recognized as a cult by the government.
It will be banned from now on. How can this be accepted?
All eyes turned to Luo Wenyi. They wanted to know how Protector Tianlong would react after learning the news. The government asked the leader to surrender before Tianhei, otherwise he would be killed without mercy. Will Protector Luo surrender?
