"Snapped!"
I don't know how long it took before Zhang Yuhang was awakened by this alarm.
Nie Rong stood up and announced: "This matter in the southern border has been tried by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Duchayuan. The evidence is conclusive and the people involved have confessed. The verdict is now as follows:
Nineteen officials, including Qiao Yu, Guo Huai, and Zhou Ming, were the main culprits. They committed an unpardonable crime and punished the six tribes. All the men in the tribe over the age of twelve were beheaded, and the women were made into priests and prostitutes, and all their family property should be turned over to the state treasury. ;
Sixty-three people including Zhang Hao, Li Zhizhong, and Guo Ming were accomplices. They also committed unpardonable crimes and punished the three tribes. All the men in the tribe over the age of twelve were beheaded, and the women were used as priests and prostitutes, and all their family properties should be turned over to the state treasury. ;
The rest of the people involved in the case are guilty of unpardonable crimes. It can be considered that they still have a hint of repentance and do not implicate their clan. Their homes can be ransacked. All the males in the clan over the age of twelve are beheaded. The females are used as priests and prostitutes. The property belongs to the family. One shall be turned over to the national treasury;”
As soon as this verdict came out, everyone was in disbelief. How many years had it passed before these nobles from aristocratic families had ever committed the crime of confiscating their homes and annihilating their clans? What's more, the most serious crime this time was the confiscation of their homes. Most of them were genocide and the execution of three clans.
All the onlookers shouted: "Your Excellency is wise, Your Majesty is wise."
The enthusiasm of the people reached its peak.
They were sincerely grateful that these evil-doing beasts finally got their comeuppance.
"In this case, the case is finally concluded."
Wei Yan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Take these people down, and after three days, verify their identity, and behead them all in the vegetable market to show the majesty of our laws."
Immediately some petty officials came forward and put these convicted officials in torture shackles.
Qiao Yu didn't say a word, as if he had already accepted his fate.
The rest of the people didn't even make the slightest move, allowing the petty officials to put shackles on themselves.
Seeing everyone being pressed down, Zhang Yuhang shuddered unconsciously and trembled.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Yong asked on the side.
Zhang Yuhao shook his head, shook off the fear in his mind, and said: "It's okay, you go and inform Chu Yun, let's do it. We must get all the assets of the families we have decided before the people from the court arrive."
After explaining this, Xiao Yong was sent away, and Zhang Yuhang came to the inner hall.
Everyone had made arrangements, but there was one person, and he didn't know what to do with her for a moment.
Nie Rong saw Zhang Yuhang coming in and said, "I know you have a lot of questions, but these are not things I should tell you. Someone will give you the answers when you go back."
Then he continued: "The court is like this. Some things and some people can be so lawless. Even we have no way to do these things, and we can only cooperate."
Nie Rong was the only one in the inner hall at this meeting, so he had no scruples about speaking to Zhang Yuhang.
"Master Shangshu, I have only one question."
Nie Rong stared at Zhang Yuhang without saying a word.
"Is this world the world of your family or the world of the common people? Do you believe the four words "uprightness and justice" written on the plaque behind you?
Do you believe in the unified world described by those saints, where everyone has food to eat, everyone has a house to live in, can study, can live, and does not have to suffer from hunger or struggle to survive? Do you believe these words? "
After saying these words, Zhang Yuhang turned and left. He had nothing left to say.
Walking to the place that was about to leave Nie Rong's sight, Zhang Yuhang's deep voice came again, "Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believe it."
Zhang Yuhang didn't know how Nie Rong felt in his heart at the moment, but he knew what he should do in the future and no longer dwell on the grudges between flies and dogs.
He no longer cares about the so-called family inheritance, glory and wealth, he just wants to see if the world in his memory can really be realized in his own hands.
He wanted to see if such a world really existed. Is it really a world that humans could have?
Even if this path is almost impossible to realize, he is willing to give it a try with his own life and fight with everything he has, even if it means paying a painful price, to prove that the world in his memory is What exists is not a fictitious illusion.
Having made his true intentions clear, Zhang Yuhang knew very well that if he wanted to accomplish all of this, he would need nothing but one thing, and that was power.
This will be his next biggest pursuit. Only with the right can it be possible to create anything.
Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon.
These are the two sentences that he cannot figure out the most, and they will also be the direction of everything he will do next.
The three-court trial ended in this way. A trial that had not been seen for decades ended in this short period of time, mainly because the evidence was too sufficient.
They don't even know if the three-court trial prompted by the eldest prince's move is really for his subordinates?
Although it is said to be over, the impact of this incident continues to ferment.
The final conclusion of the incident in the southern border not only made the people feel that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, but also made the world realize the determination of King Zhou to punish corrupt officials.
The reputation of the imperial court was constantly reshaped in the hearts of the people under planned guidance.
Supervisor Tiansi's house raiding operation is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Night Walker's advance news plays a big role, and Supervisor Tianwei is full of energy.
The officials who were latecomers sighed with joy when they saw the mansion where most of their property had been taken away.
After Nie Rong and others learned the news, they immediately came to Supervisor Tiansi to hold him accountable, but Zhao Yueming avoided seeing him. In the end, the matter came to His Majesty, and in the end, it was nothing more than a war of words.
"Where are you going to go in the future? Are you going back to the South?"
Looking at the woman in front of him, Zhang Yuhang was really worried. This matter was over, but who really cared about what these people had to endure.
"I also want to go back, but what can I do if I go back now? I don't know what I will do in the future, but at least I have to go back to send a letter to my family and erect a monument to my parents."
After taking revenge, Wang Yaru didn't know what to do for a while, as if she couldn't find a purpose to live.
Zhang Yuhang sighed and said: "Wait, wait a few more days, some things must have answers, otherwise I won't be able to get through the test in my heart."
Immediately, Zhang Yuhang ordered Xiao Yong to find a place for Wang Yaru to settle in Kyoto. The reason why he let her stay temporarily was because he felt that Qiao Yu's behavior was too abnormal, and there must be something he didn't know about.
He would never forgive himself if he let this beast escape with his life.
That night, it was already very late for Zhao Yueming to return to Tiantiansi, but Zhang Yuhang had been waiting for him. Some things require an answer, and some things need to be done before you know whether you should persist or not.
He wanted to see what this Supervisor Sizheng, later known as the Living King of Hell, believed in, and whether he was a human or a ghost.
