He looked at Kang Xi's expression.
Yinreng was also slightly relieved.
He didn't expect that the advice Arante gave him in his letter would be so interesting.
However, immediately after, a little anger appeared in Yinreng's heart.
This Alan Tai was also a good-for-nothing.
He actually failed to capture Zhang Mazi and instead caused many casualties. Now, he even had to clean up his mess.
However…
Yinreng still held back.
More than ten million taels of silver.
If this really fell into his hands, how much trouble could he solve?
He bought people's hearts and roped them in.
How could Eighth Brother, that bastard, win over people's hearts? It was all because he was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and the money of the Great Qing Dynasty. With just a little bit of silver, countless people would support him.
The ten million taels of silver was in his hands.
He was still in charge of the Ministry of Personnel.
He had money in his hands and was in charge of personnel arrangements.
His brothers couldn't cause any waves.
at this moment
Yongxin County
public trial
When the local people heard the news, they were also stunned.
Zhang Mazi wanted to publicly interrogate Alan Tai and the other landowners?
When they heard the news, they were stunned.
They knew about the public trial. It was the official who judged the common people like them.
Now, he actually wanted a judge.
Let the commoners watch.
This was simply…
This was killing people.
It was also to clarify the laws he had established here.
Not only did he want Old Master Huang to die, but he also wanted Old Master Huang to be notorious for thousands of years.
It was passed on as a case study.
He was clear about the legal system of his own territory.
The entire Yongxin County was in an uproar.
Zhang Mu was going to judge these landowners personally, and he was going to start the public trial of Alan Tai.
The citizens of Yongxin County were in an uproar.
When the news spread, countless people who wanted to watch the show immediately gathered.
He wanted to see this rare new thing.
a public trial of the landlord lord.
He was above everyone else, but now he was also a prisoner?
Alan Tai never thought that he would be brought to a public trial one day.
The surroundings were filled with people.
That feeling was as if he had stripped himself naked and exposed himself under the sun, wanting to completely expose his crimes.
Everyone was looking at him.
Zhang Mu really didn't abuse them.
Alan Tai, who was sitting in the high hall and looking down, clapped the gavel in his hand and said in a strong voice,"I am Alan Tai!"
"I am Alan Tai, the general of the Qing Dynasty. Thief, Zhang Mazi, how dare you interrogate me? You are a bandit, how dare you interrogate me?”
Zhang Mu looked at Alan Tai and said,""I'm not interrogating you today. It's the people you've harmed and the ghosts you've forced into a corner who have become wandering ghosts that want me to interrogate you!”
At this point, Zhang Mu said indifferently,""Alan Tai, when you came to Yongxin County, did you ask the people to donate food and supplies to supply the Qing army?”
"That's right. I represent the imperial court to suppress the bandits. It was you bandits who came to rob us of our provisions first. If you didn't rob my provisions, how could I have asked the people to donate money and goods? Zhang Mazi, you have to pretend to be hypocritical here. I have also studied. I know the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. You say that you represent righteousness here. If you really have a sense of shame, you shouldn't have gathered a crowd to rebel. Why would the Imperial Court come and exterminate you? If you didn't burn our rations, why would I force the people to donate food and materials? It's all your fault!”
Many commoners were slightly stunned. They looked at each other. What Alan Tai said seemed to make sense.
Zhang Mu patted the gavel, and the crowd quieted down.
Then, Zhang Mu leaned back slightly and said indifferently,""Read!"
Su Hanchen had already taken out an account book.
There was evidence inside.
The first part was to verify the provisions brought along by the army and the supply and quantity of the imperial court.
The second part was that he, Alan Tai, forced the commoners to donate food. The amount of food donated was more than fifty times the amount of the court's military pay.
When they heard this, all the commoners were in an uproar.
Damn it, you actually allocated so much?
Many people had already begun to curse.
Alan Tai panicked.
He felt something called the heart of the people.
"Silence!"
Zhang Mu waved his hand and said unhurriedly,"Alan Tai, you say, if I don't rebel in the drama, you can ask the people here if they should rebel. If I really do it for the greater good, shouldn't I rebel? Should I kneel and let you bully me? What right do you have?“
He didn't say anything.
Zhang Mu's words were very ordinary.
"An official like you forced me to rebel. When I rebelled, you harmed even more people, but you still said that it was because I rebelled that these people were harmed. What a joke!”
Zhang Mu's voice was loud and full of energy.
At this moment, all the people fell silent.
What Zhang Mu said made sense.
His voice was full of energy. There was no high and mighty judgment, nor was there a hoarse voice.
It was very simple. He placed the truth in front of everyone and told them why he wanted to rebel.
"You said that you read the books of the saints, but you did something like a beast. Are you even worthy of talking about righteousness? Who do you think you are?" Zhang Mu said coldly," Today, I want to interrogate you and expose you. It's not that I, Zhang Mu, want to rebel, but you forced me to rebel. Even if I die today, you will see other farmers rebel sooner or later. If it's not because I can't survive, who the f * ck would dare to rebel?"”
"Alan Tai, let me ask you, did you join forces with the Liu family of Yongxin County to oppress the farmers and force them to sell their land at a low price?”
Alan Tai didn't say anything.
Zhang Mu only said indifferently,"Men, bring Liu Xinjian!"”
Liu Xinjian was one of the big landowners of Yongxin County.
After he arrived, Liu Xinjian was already scared out of his wits. He directly blamed Alan Tai.
Alan Tai remained silent.
Zhang Mu was also very patient, pulling up one landlord after another.
The group of landowners did not stay idle either. They knocked their black pots on Alan Tai's body one after another.
Finally, when Alan Tai heard that he had an improper relationship with a dog, he couldn't hold it in anymore."Bullshit!"
To the people of Great Song, today was indeed a lively day.
Although Zhang Mu used torture…
However, the scene was exceptionally exciting.
They watched the landlord and the officials fight each other.
It was especially pleasurable.
When these high and mighty landowners and officials started to fight each other, they were like shrews, scolding each other.
"We still have to examine witnesses and physical evidence when we try a case. At any time and under any circumstances, we are not allowed to use private punishment!”During the break, Zhang Mu chatted with Su Hanchen.
Su Hanchen nodded.
The next trial.
Zhang Mu was very patient.
Bring in the witnesses and physical evidence.
One after another.
First, it was the county magistrate, Lu Chengwu, who pulled strings. Then, the big landowners colluded with Alan Tai and took the opportunity to invade the land of the small and medium-sized landowners and farmers at a low price. All the crimes were interrogated by Zhang Mu.
The people were furious.
These bastards, they were already so rich, why were they still so greedy to invade his land?
This bunch of bastards, they were not giving him a way out.
Today, I brought my wife for a check-up. I didn't update on time. I'm sorry. I have to continue the check-up tomorrow. I didn't update on time. Please forgive me!
