Another official said: "Don't be afraid! Those who have time to listen to books are not ordinary people. They will not talk nonsense! As long as we spread the word, they will listen!"
But the official named Zhang said in despair: "You can all think of it, how can Jin Yiwei not think of it? They will definitely not let these storytellers return to restaurants and teahouses, they will definitely arrange for these people to preach in public! We can't stop it this time!"
As soon as this was said, there was silence among the officials! They seem to have seen the final result! And in fact, they also know one thing in their hearts. Even if these storytellers are not arranged to preach in public, the people in the restaurants and teahouses alone are enough to leak the news! After all, there are many people with mixed opinions, and there is no way to stop them!
At this time, the team of royal guards had already approached, urging the storytellers to enter the yamen. The hundred households then waved to call a few soldiers and said: "Now the time has arrived, and the people have arrived too! Then select 80 of them and send them in."
When the officials saw that Mr. Storyteller had entered the door, they knew that doing anything else would be of no use. They could only let the Jin Yiwei count the number of people and then follow them into the Yamen.
After they entered, the trial officially began! As the chief judge, it is Liu Xing! He is relatively young, and it will be beneficial for him to be exposed to more new jobs! And the person on trial was no one else, it was Lu Jinhan, the prefect of Henan Prefecture! ..
Moreover, the process of interrogating him was simply lackluster, because his evidence of guilt was too clear and complete! Therefore, with all the witnesses and physical evidence, account books, and dirty money and stolen goods, all the officials involved in the crime readily confessed their guilt and signed the confessions!
The officials hearing the trial kept their eyes wide open and their ears pricked up to carefully observe everything in the lobby, but they did not get any news that was beneficial to them! The complete procedures eliminate any thought of delay by the prisoners. The only thing they can do is to plead guilty happily in exchange for a lighter sentence!
Unlike the officials, the storytellers were almost crazy with excitement! When Jin Yiwei came to their door just now, they were all trembling with fear, thinking that they had gotten into some kind of lawsuit! As a result, when they found out that they were asked to come to hear the trial, they were a little hesitant!
Those storytellers also know that there are some things that low-level people like them cannot get involved in! But how could they refuse Jin Yiwei? They could only agree when the knife was placed on their necks!
But after hearing the case, Jin Yiwei sent them an abbreviation of the case and a list of physical evidence. With these things, out of instinct, they had already sketched out a new story in their minds, and they could definitely listen to it. People who love books will love to hear it!
Although they knew that this would definitely offend a large number of people, Jin Yiwei also told them that someone would protect them during the storytelling process, so even if someone is unhappy, they have to go to Jin Yiwei! ..
As for the Jin Yiwei's withdrawal after the incident spread, it didn't matter. Anyway, everything that should have been spread had already been spread by then, and no one would deliberately make it difficult for a few unlucky storytellers! After all, they were also driven here with the Jin Yiwei knife held to their necks! So each of them felt free and bold to weave their own story in their hearts!
Since Jin Yiwei has complete evidence and witnesses, the trial speed is very fast! Five cases were tried in one day! And every case is hard to find fault with! So those officials stood with the Jinyiwei for a whole day in vain. They all stood weak and weak and did not get any useful information, let alone cause some confusion! Finally, in the evening, they left one by one with sighs.
As for the storytellers, their faces were all glowing! Not only did they get the case summary provided by Jin Yiwei, but each of them also took thick notes! And what makes them most happy is that when they go home, everyone is accompanied by a military captain in uniform! Moreover, there is also a school captain guarding their home, ensuring the absolute safety of their family! So after they returned home, they spent the whole night sorting out the stories and preparing to preach them tomorrow.
When the case was heard the next day, what made the officials angry was that Jinyiwei actually had another group of storytellers! This made them shout that Jin Yiwei is too cunning! Ran
Then he quickly sent someone to deliver a message to his superior.
They initially thought that these storytellers would listen to all the cases before preaching about them, but now it seems that Jin Yiwei has no such plan at all! They should be planning to gather the storytellers in the capital in batches to listen to the case, and those who have heard the case will be released to preach. This will make it more difficult for the civil servants to control the storytellers!
In the capital, I dare not say that there are too many storytellers. There are hundreds of them! There's no way they can completely control it! Especially when each storyteller is protected by a guard, they are even more afraid to attack!
However, today's group of officials came prepared after receiving guidance from their superiors. Their goal has now changed. They are not intending to overturn Jin Yiwei's case verdict, but to raise various issues as much as possible to try to reduce the prisoner's sentence. It also intends to slow down the trial process.
Their purpose in doing this was to tell the prisoners that the civil service group had not given up on them. The same attitude was also expressed to the officers who were not arrested. ..
Another reason is that once too many problems are raised, Jin Yiwei's incompetence will be revealed! It can be said that they expanded the case, created an unjust case, and could cause some adverse effects along with Jin Yiwei!
Therefore, Jinyiwei's trial speed slowed down the next day, and only three cases were tried! But the goals of these officials have still not been achieved! Because the case handled by Jin Yiwei this time was so solid that there was no room for them to interfere! The only thing they can do now is to delay the trial!
But while these officials were participating in the trial, those storytellers were already showing off their skills! Just as they guessed, Jin Yiwei did not send them all back to the tea house and brothel, but sent half of them to preach on the streets, trying to let more people know the truth of the case!
As a result, before the second day was completely over, the people in the capital already knew the details of yesterday's five cases, and they spread the word quickly! Moreover, the cases chosen by Jinyiwei are all major cases, the ones with particularly serious circumstances! Therefore, the common people cursed these corrupt officials for their misfortune, but they had a certain fondness for Jin Yiwei!
