Murong Yanda and the other seven officials witnessed the entire process of the trial of the bandits on another high platform.
When they saw Yan Shun, Wang Aihu and the others were beheaded.
At first, Murong Yanda was very happy.
It was these damned bandits who attacked the Qingzhou Prefecture that caused his current situation.
Seeing these bandits being beheaded, it was needless to say how happy he was.
However, when they saw those bloody heads hanging up, they were also afraid.
Murong Yanda gritted his teeth and forced himself to say,"Don't worry, according to the laws of the Great Song, we will at most be exiled. My sister is the current imperial consort, so it's just a process.”
"Magistrate, you can't leave us alone. Yun Wang is ruthless."”
Murong Yanda snorted coldly." Don't worry. I'm a relative of the royal family. He can't do anything to me. Even if he exiles you, I can still bring you back."”
The officials were moved to tears." Thank you, Magistrate. You are our second parent. We will follow your lead in the future."”
Murong Yanda said beautifully.
In fact, he was not confident.
This Yun Prince was different from the other princes.
He had been imprisoned for the past few days and did not know the situation outside.
He didn't know why the Yan family didn't contact him.
In short, everything made him feel uncertain.
His current thought was to survive.
As long as he survived.
His imperial consort sister could think of a way to pull him out.
At this moment.
The tens of thousands of people in the square also gathered their gazes here.
Countless commoners looked at Murong Yanda with hatred.
They were all suspicious.
Can Yun Wang handle this impartially?
Murong Yanda was a relative of the royal family.
Wasn't it said in the play that officials protected each other?
At this moment, Zhao Kai spoke.
"Murong Yanda, do you know your crimes?"
"Your Highness, I was muddle-headed and I really don't know what I'm guilty of." Murong Yanda hurriedly said.”
"You won't give up until you reach the Yellow River.”
A civil servant read aloud Murong Yanda's crimes.
Since taking office, he has been corrupt and embezzled military pay.
They extorted by force, increased taxes, and forcefully took the land of the people, causing tens of thousands of people to be displaced and thousands of people to be hungry and cold.
They even arrested innocent people and beat them into confessions.
Let dozens of people die in humiliation.
The commoners had nowhere to go and could not see the light of day.
As the official narrated, witnesses would come forward to testify for each of them.
When they talked about their family's grievances, those witnesses wailed on the high platform, making people cry.
Murong Yanda's expression turned uglier and uglier.
Seeing the hateful gazes of countless people below the high platform, he felt a little flustered.
Who would have thought that a clay leg could turn the sky upside down?
This damned Yun Wang, where did he find this witness?
He was determined to make things difficult for her.
There was irrefutable evidence.
"Murong Yanda, do you confess?" Zhao Kai asked coldly. What else is there to say?"
Murong Yanda gritted his teeth and shouted," Fake! This is all fake! You're framing me on purpose! I want to see His Majesty!" You have no right to judge me!"
Zhao Kai pointed at the evidence and said,"Don't say that I didn't give you a chance to speak. You said that all the evidence is fake, and you pointed out any one of them to refute it.”
"There are so many eyes watching. If you are innocent, I will let you go on the spot.”
Murong Yanda's eyes darted around, and the fat on his body trembled.
How could he refute?
The evidence that Zhao Kai brought out was a complete set.
For example, the evidence of him accepting bribes, why he gave gifts, who gave gifts, the list of gifts, when he gave gifts, and where the gifts were now.
The entire chain of evidence was clear and there was no room for him to refute.
Another example was the people he had harmed.
What was his motive? Who did it? Where were the victims or their families?
Wait a minute…
The evidence was presented to the world one by one.
Zhang Shuye, who was watching this scene from afar, was filled with emotions.
He muttered to himself," From the time Prince Yun arrived at the Qing Prefecture to the time he held the public hearing, it took him a total of nine days to gather all the evidence of Murong Yanda's crime. It's not simple."”
"But Prince Yun broke the rules. Civil officials cannot be killed. This is an earthquake.”
"Husband, is it a trap for him to invite us to Qingzhou to be officials?" asked the servant beside him worriedly. Why don't we leave…"
Zhang Shuye waved his sleeves and said angrily,""What are you afraid of? A straight body is not afraid of a crooked shadow. I have done nothing wrong in my life. I am not afraid of ghosts knocking at the door in the middle of the night.”
"Your Highness is right about one thing. The Song Dynasty is indeed sick. Now that the golden dogs are eyeing us, the Song Dynasty's officialdom is still singing and dancing. The military equipment is in shambles. If I, the golden man, really attack, who can stop me?”
"Perhaps the Great Song really needs someone like Your Highness to disrupt the situation.”
"The premise is that he can stop the counterattack of those civil officials.”
Facing Zhao Kai's question, Murong Yanda could not say a word.
In the face of these irrefutable evidence, he could not refute even one of them.
" You have no right to judge me. I am a civil official. I am a relative of the royal family. I am the king's uncle. My sister is the imperial concubine…"
"If you dare to kill me, you will be ruining the national policy of Emperor Taizu. The scholars of Great Song will not let you off.”
The commoners below the high platform felt sad when they saw Murong Yanda still acting so arrogantly.
Punishment is not imposed on scholar-bureaucrats.
Could it be that he still couldn't be sentenced?
Can wangye do it?
