Chapter 377 Public Trial

Since the people were fighting to tell their grievances the day before, the next day, Lord Mi and the documents seemed very free, but in the afternoon, they set off for Yangzhou. As for these people, since the trial location was also in Yangzhou, they needed to come out to prove Song Yuanba and his son, so they also began to go to Yangzhou City together, and Song Yuanba's house was firmly controlled.

After returning to Yangzhou City, notices were posted at the main street entrances and other places in the city, and the interrogation location was not located in the yamen of Yangzhou Prefecture, but at the bustling street entrance.

As soon as the third day was dawn, the Dongchang Fanzi who came from the capital used a human wall to set up a human wall at the entrance of the streets of Yangzhou City. The yamen runners of the Yangzhou Yamen set up a temporary lobby inside the human wall formed by the human wall. Since they heard that the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice was going to publicly trial the case of Song Yuanba here, the people of Yangzhou City had long been watching here. Of course, one of the big reasons was to watch the excitement. After all, for them, the Song Yuanba had little to do with them.

God is also working hard today, and the sun climbs up early in the morning, which adds a hint of warmth to Yangzhou in early spring.

"Dong...Dong...!"

The big drums on both sides of the temporary yamen sounded, and the street entrance, which was originally a little noisy, suddenly became silent.

The yamen runners in Yangzhou Prefecture also shouted loudly: "Wei...wu..."

After that, Lord Mi, who was dressed in the government, sat on the top position, and Jiang Lang also put on his official uniform and sat next to Lord Mi.

Among the crowd below, Murong Yan and others also mingled in the crowd. Seeing Jiang Lang sitting on top in an official uniform, Murong Yan couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Wang is so majestic!"

"Others are Lord Wang!"

Xie Shusheng next to him said a little sour, "Don't forget that others are a dignified third-rank official of the court, a general, and a eldest brother Wang, shouting how intimate they are."

"So? I'm not convinced!"

Murong Yan gave Xie Shusheng a blank look and said, "It seems that Brother Wang is not yet twenty-five, but he is already a third-rank official in the court. You are still a poor scholar. If you have the ability, you can go and take the top scorer for me?"

This passage made Xie Shusheng speechless, his face turned bluer and waved his hand and planned to wave away.

"return!"

Murong Yan ordered that Xie Shusheng, who was about to leave, stopped immediately and said angrily: "Why are you asking me to come back? I am a poor scholar, not a third-rank official in the court."

He didn't care about any suspicion of men and women. Murong Yan reached out and grabbed Xie Shusheng, and said angrily: "Didn't see me being angry with you on purpose. Besides, Sister Zi said she would help you..."

A flush appeared on Murong Yan's face. After all, it was her daughter's house, so she couldn't speak.

Xie Shusheng was a fool. He didn't understand what he meant yet, so he asked, "What are you helping me?"

"Don't talk!"

Murong Yan pointed in front and said, "Look, the trial has begun!"

On the stage, Lord Mi slapped the agglomeration heavily and shouted: "Take someone to offend Song Yuanba and his son to come to court!"

The yamen runners immediately shouted loudly below: "Take someone to offend Song Yuanba and his son to come to court!"

Song Yuanba and his son were immediately brought up and then knelt down in the lobby.

Lord Mi slapped the agglomeration again and said, "Take the plaintiff Sun Yuansi!"

Sun Yuansi, dressed in plain clothes, quickly came up, knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and then said, "Minister's daughter Sun Yuansi kowtows to the Lord!"

"Raise your head!"

Lord Mi said with a hint of majestic voice, "Take your letter!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yuansi raised her head and handed the written paper on both hands.

In fact, Master Mi has seen these people for a long time, and now he feels a little pretentious. After taking the paper and pretending to read it, he said: "Song Yuanba, you killed Han Shan with this Sun Yuan silky shape. Have you pleaded guilty?"

"All nonsense!"

Song Yuanba looked arrogant and said, "I have never harmed anyone. Han Shan committed suicide, everyone in this town knows!"

"suicide?"

Lord Mi smiled coldly and said, "Is it really suicide? Come on, telling you that Han Shan's neighbor Old Man Xu!"

Soon, the old man was brought over, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "See the name of the grass!"

Lord Mi nodded slightly and said, "Tell me out what you know in detail!"

"yes!"

Old Man Xu nodded and said everything he saw that day, detailing and not missing a word.

However, Song Yuanba did not buy it and said, "Then he just heard the words of Song Yuanqing, Han Shusheng and others, and it does not mean that we killed Han Shusheng."

"Don't admit it yet?"

Lord Mi's face suddenly became a little angry, and he pointed at Song Yuan and said, "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. Come on, bring Song Yuanqing."

As soon as he said this, Song Yuanba's face changed, and he couldn't help but look from behind. When he saw Song Yuanqing being brought up by the yamen runners, Song Yuanba's face changed.

Song Yuanqing knelt on the ground in an ordinary manner and said, "Song Yuanqing, a grass man, met him!"

Lord Mi nodded, pointed to Song Yuanba next to him, and said, "Do you know this person?"

Song Yuanqing nodded and said, "I know! This is the master of Caomin!"

Lord Mi nodded and said, "Yes, then tell me what happened that day."

Song Yuanqing immediately said, "You are the master Qingtian, all this was done by Song Yuanba, and it has nothing to do with me!"

"Bang!"

Lord Mi said in a row of gavels, "Say!"

“Yes…yes…yes!”

Song Yuanqing couldn't help but tremble and said, "Hanshan's house is in the town, and it's relatively spacious. My master had wanted to buy this house for a long time, so he arranged for me to do this, but Hanshan just didn't sell it. My master was very angry, but Hanshan was honest and could not find any problems, so he endured it. However, later the news that he would get married to Miss Sun was heard in the town. My young master was very coveted by Sun Xiao

My sister's beauty was so even more embarrassed and angry. So I took people with me to Hanshan's house and asked him to sell the house to us, but Hanshan refused. In a rage, the young master asked someone to beat Hanshan. He knew that he had accidentally beat Hanshan to death. In desperation, we found white silk and hung it on the beam of the house, creating the illusion of Hanshan's suicide. In addition, my master and Lord Song had a close relationship, so the matter was left unresolved!"

Lord Mi nodded and said, "What you said is the truth?"

"Everything of the grass-roots people is the truth!"

Song Yuanqing kowtowed and said, "If there is a lie, the grass people will hit the sky with thunder, they will not die well!"

"That's good!"

Lord Mi waved his hand and said to the clerk beside him: "Let him write a secret!"

The document next to him immediately placed the written confession in front of Song Yuanqing, asked Song Yuanqing to write it on it, and then handed it to Lord Mi.

Lord Mi took it and saw it, handed it to Jiang Lang, and said, "Mr. Wang, look!"

Jiang Lang took over the confession. Actually, this was written by Song Yuanqing himself last night. He nodded slightly and said, "It's OK!"

Then he handed the confession to the document next to him again.

Lord Mi was at this time a row of gavels and said, "Song Yuanba, what else do you have to say!"

"Sir, I'm wronged!"

Song Yuanba shouted immediately, then looked at Song Yuanqing next to him and said angrily: "Why do you want to harm me?"

Song Yuanqing couldn't help but shook his fear and said, "Master, just recruit me. The person in the hall is the head of the East Factory. If you go in, you won't be able to leave the East Factory Prison!"

"You fart!"

Song Yuanba said angrily, "You dog slave, I treat you well, but now you betray me, you won't die a good death!"

"Bang!"

Seeing this, Lord Mi slapped the agglomeration and said angrily: "Song Yuanba, you are endangering your neighbors and dominating the country. How many people are bullied and persecuted by you? Your crime is endless. Now you are not honestly pleading guilty and being able to argue!"

"I didn't kill Han Shan!"

Song Yuanba continued to argue: "Sir, you can ask Lord Song, he tried this case at the beginning!"

"No!"

Lord Mi waved his hand and said, "As the prefect of Yangzhou, Song Wenxuan ignored such a tragedy in Yangzhou and even covered him up. He has been detained by this official. After you have been tried, it will be his turn. Don't expect anyone to protect you!"

After saying that, he shouted again: "Come here, send other witnesses!"

Therefore, the later public trial meeting completely became a meeting for the people of the town to report their injustice. All the people in the town who came to Yangzhou began to accuse the Song and Yuanba. Suddenly, the Song and Yuanba became the target of public criticism, and all the spearheads were pointed at him.
