Chapter 645 The Criminal Ministry's Statement (4)

Oh

Oh

is pole, is pole.

After hearing the words, Zhao Qiu and others finally realized why Yan Shifan raised an objection.

"What Master Yan said is true, then I will learn from Master Yan to avoid it, and I will leave this trial to Master Zhang." After Zhao Qiu figured it out, he no longer insisted, and walked down from the presiding judge's seat, showing a gloomy expression on his face. With a smile, he cupped his hands and said to Yan Shifan and Zhang Gu in the auditorium.

"Mr. Yan is admirable for his integrity."

"In ancient times, there was Qi Huangyang who did not avoid enemies when exercising externally, and did not avoid sons when exercising internally. Today, Lord Yan avoids the court to be upright and honest. I admire you."

In the courtroom, there were praises for Yan Shifan's actions.

Zhu Ping'an stood in the courtroom, watching this scene quietly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, it's a shame that you don't become actors.

Soon, after discussion between the presiding officer and the observer officials, it was determined that Zhang Gu, the right servant of the Ministry of War, would replace Zhao Qiu, the left servant of the Ministry of War, as the chief interrogator.

The Ministry of Punishment continued to make a statement, which was not much different from the trial. First, the identities of Zhu Pingan and Zhao Daying were verified, and then the laws and regulations related to crimes such as framing, murder, and fraud were read out, and then the substantive stage of the statement was entered.

"Zhu Ping'an, why do you want to impeach Zhao Daying?" Wang Xueyi, the Minister of Punishment in the courtroom, patted the gavel with his eyes shining brightly, and asked loudly.

"Zhao Daying killed good men and made meritorious deeds. In Liujia Village at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, more than a hundred miles north of the capital, except for more than a dozen young men who were conscripted to fight against the Tartars and an old man who went out to fetch water, all the old, young, women and children in the village were killed by Zhao Da. Ying 'borrowed' the heads of Xiangshang, and fifty-nine heads of old and young women and children in the village became the capital of Zhao Daying's promotion. Pity their father and brother who were willing to risk arrows to kill the enemy on the front line. Zhao Daying's evil deeds, How can a subordinate official turn a blind eye to it! It is tolerable, what is unbearable!"

Zhu Pingan stood with his hands folded under the hall, looked at the presiding judge above the courtroom, and exposed Zhao Daying's crimes. Even though the incident had passed for a long time, he still couldn't bear the anger in his chest when he narrated it, and his eyes glistened. A raging flame.

ah? What?

There was an uproar in the courtroom. Some observer officials who were not clear about the case were shocked when they heard the words. They looked at each other in blank dismay, and then looked at Zhao Daying.

The composition of the observer officials is similar to that of the presiding officials. The Strict Party accounts for the majority, but not all of them. The ratio is 311. The Strict Party accounts for three, the Neutral Party accounts for one, and the Li Mo Party accounts for one. Therefore, not all officials support Zhao Daying, and some officials are not even clear about the case.

"Nonsense! Nonsense! Bloody mouth!"

Before Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, Zhao Daying couldn't help scolding Zhu Ping angrily. He glared at Zhu Ping angrily, with veins popping up on his face. Chest, as if he had suffered a great injustice for nothing, and it was unbearable.

"Nonsense?" Zhu Pingan stood on the spot and watched Zhao Daying hysterically, curled his lips in disdain, "Isn't Mr. Zhao guilty?"

People often use anger to cover up their guilty conscience. Zhao Daying is a typical example. It looks like he is furious and furious after being slandered, but in fact it is just another manifestation of guilty conscience.

"It's nonsense! I'm sitting upright, why should I have a guilty conscience!" Zhao Daying's voice went from low to high, and finally he roared, as if Ma Jingtao had possessed a body, his face flushed as if his blood was boiling .

Not only that, Zhao Daying clenched his fists, angrily came to Zhu Pingan, stared at Zhu Pingan angrily, "Master Zhu, I have offended you, if there is something, please tell me, I apologize to you in front of everyone. Why use such despicable means to slander me for nothing!"

At this moment, Zhao Daying clenched his fists and stared at Zhu Pingan angrily, as if he was going to beat Zhu Pingan violently in the next second.

Really thinking about it, Zhao Daying's fists were clenched tightly and trembling, like a hungry tiger rushing for food.

Compared to him, the weak Zhu Ping'an is like fish on a chopping board.

"Why, is Zhao Daying trying to 'borrow' my head?" Zhu Ping quietly stood there without moving, slightly hooking the corners of his lips, squinting at Zhao Daying's big fist, mocking asked.

Zhao Daying originally wanted to force people with power, but he did not expect to use the wrong target. Zhu Pingan looked like a weak scholar, but he was braver than those Tartar generals he looked up to on the battlefield. Facing his own physical threats, Zhu Pingan Not only did he not even blink his eyelids, but he also used this as a breakthrough point, jokingly pointing out the matter of "borrowing" his head again.

In this situation, Zhao Daying clenched his fists aggressively, which really reminds people of more things.

"Nonsense, my official is that kind of person." Zhao Daying quickly realized that something was wrong, and took a step back.

"Hehe." Zhu Pingan looked at Zhao Daying and let out a hehe.

"Enough, how can you wait for me in the courtroom!" The presiding judge in the courtroom patted the gavel again, interrupting the verbal confrontation between Zhu Ping'an and Zhao Daying.

"Zhu Ping'an, do you know that I, Da Ming, falsely accused me of rebellion, and my crime will be aggravated. You should think about it carefully. You should cherish the fame you have earned through hard study for ten years, and don't make mistakes. If you wait for the court to find out It's too late for the false accusation," Wang Xueyi in the courtroom looked at Zhu Ping'an sternly, and said slowly.

"Thank you, my lord, but for fame, the officials are more concerned about the lives of the fifty-nine people in Liujia Village. When the officials were elected, their parents told them several times that it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes when an official does not make decisions for the people. Parents taught , I will always keep this in mind, today I will be the same as I was playing that day, my lords, please thoroughly investigate this case, and rectify the law of the country, I will die and be immortal!"

Zhu Pingan shook his head firmly, then bowed and bowed to the courtroom, at a forty-five degree to his knees, and after getting up, he bowed and bowed to the seats on both sides of the audience.

“Being an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes”

Some officials in the auditorium looked at Zhu Pingan's bent back, and couldn't help chewing on this simple sentence, "Being an official doesn't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes." For a moment, my heart seemed to be shocked.

They are not modern people, and they have never watched the Henan opera "Seven Grades of Sesame Officials" more than a hundred years later. Just hearing this sentence, their hearts were deeply touched, and a scene seemed to appear in front of them: a man who had just passed the exam The young man rode his horse home triumphantly in the spring breeze. After the old parents in the field heard the news of their son's Zhongju, they put down the hoes in their hands and felt sad for a long time. Educate your son that being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes

From the road to simplicity!

This sentence is simple, but it has a profound meaning and is thought-provoking. It can be compared with mother-in-law's tattooing of loyalty to the country, and it is not inferior!

Regardless of the outcome of this petition, anyway, Zhu Pingan's sentence "Being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes", this time it became popular, and judging by the momentum, it will soon become popular in Ming Dynasty.
