And King Jin smiled helplessly, and he couldn't refuse it outright, he could only agree.
"It turns out that Master Zhu meant this. If that's the case, Master Zhu can take a look here." Jin Wang agreed to Zhu Yuanlong's jury here.
Although Zhu Yuanlong himself said that he came to see Song Wuya's elegant demeanor in solving the case, but if he sat here, he would naturally be a jury.
Song Wuya nodded slightly, but he couldn't object to this matter.
He just sat down, picked up the gavel in his hand, and dropped it heavily.
"Take the criminals!"
Following his yell, the yamen servants in the hall hastily followed and loudly sent out the message.
"Take the criminals!"
Under the escort of the imperial guards, Brother Niu and Lao Liu were taken to court.
Several people lowered their heads, they knew that they could not escape this time, so they showed a look of resignation.
"Who is kneeling in the hall!" In front of King Jin, Zhu Yuanlong and others, Song Wuya who originally wanted to omit these cumbersome procedures had no choice but to repeat a few words and proceed in accordance with the regulations.
"Criminal Niu Zhong."
"Criminal Bull Six."
……
The prisoners kneeling in the hall reported their names one by one.After that, Song Wuya asked them some basic information, and then got to the point.
"Do you know what crime you committed?" Song Wuya asked the prisoners in the hall coldly.
Hearing this, the people kneeling below looked at each other, not knowing what to say, so they could only look at the leader, Brother Niu.
Brother Niu hesitated for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Song Wuya who was sitting in the hall, and said, "The offender committed the crime of hiding salt."
"Hmph!" Song Wuya let out a cold snort, and he knew that Brother Niu would say that. "Is it just about hiding private salt?"
"..." Brother Niu was tongue-tied, but he couldn't speak.
Seeing his appearance, Song Wuya said again: "You have framed this official, this official will not pursue it for the time being. This official only asks you, where are these private salts coming from!"
The most acute question, Brother Niu has been evading this question, after all, he has no way to explain this matter.Once explained, he got into big trouble.
After Song Wuya's question was asked, Brother Niu and the others were ashamed and knelt down without any movement.
This was also within Song Wuya's expectation. After all, Guanshan Restaurant was so powerful, Brother Niu and the others knew about it, so they would rather die than open their mouths about it.
Snapped!
The gavel was slapped heavily, and the sudden sound startled everyone.
"Don't answer me quickly, if you are so stubborn again, I will not forgive you." Song Wuya snapped.
After the sound, Brother Niu and others still did not speak, but knelt on the spot.
Just when Song Wuya was about to continue speaking, Zhu Yuanlong, who had been sitting beside him, chuckled lightly: "His Royal Highness, I originally thought that Mr. Song must have something extraordinary in his trial, but now it seems that it is not like that. It's the routine of an ordinary official. It seems that Mr. Song is going to be executed now."
He said this at this time, not only to ridicule Song Wuya for not having any abilities, but also to use aggressive methods to make it difficult for Song Wuya to use severe punishment.
When Song Wuya was interrogating the prisoner, Zhu Yuanlong wanted to embarrass Song Wuya, which made Song Wuya a little confused.Logically speaking, there is no dispute between them, so why would he deliberately make things difficult for Song Wuya?
Chapter 656 Intentionally making things difficult
Chapter 656 Deliberately making things difficult
Although these words were aimed at the King Jin, Zhu Yuanlong had no intention of restraining himself, and everyone present heard these words clearly.
King Jin sat beside him, frowning slightly: "Master Zhu, let's watch carefully, it's too early to draw conclusions."
Zhu Yuanlong nodded and said nothing more.
Song Wuya retracted his gaze and looked at the people kneeling in the hall.
A large amount of private salt was found in their home, and at this time they gritted their teeth and refused to admit it.
Song Wuya had already prepared for this point long before.After all, today he just wanted to press this matter out in this court.
"Okay! Very good!" Song Wuya sneered, and the expression on his face had become extremely gloomy: "Since you don't explain, then I will only treat these private salts as your own. Then I will Let me tell you, according to the laws of our dynasty, although those who hide private salt are not guilty of death, but you have hidden such a large amount of private salt in your home, it is impossible to use it for yourself, and it must be for sale. But if this is the case, then you are It is a capital offense. In addition, your family members must know about hiding this kind of private salt in your home, but if they conceal it, they are also committing a cover-up. The crime is the same as yours. However, I am kind and will not execute your family members together. Let them spare their lives. The men will be sent to the frontier to serve as soldiers, and the female relatives will also be sent to the frontier to serve as prostitutes."
From Song Wuya's words, the expressions of those kneeling in the hall became serious, and when they heard the last sentence, their eyes almost popped out.
You know, such a sentence is more difficult for them to accept than killing them.
"My lord, I hid the private salt privately and kept it from my family all the time. They didn't know about it. I hope you will learn from me!" Brother Niu was anxious. He didn't want to speak out because he was afraid of hurting his family. Wu Ya didn't intend to let his family go, so why don't he worry.
Hearing this, Song Wuya let out a cold snort: "Hmph! You said they don't know if they don't know? How big is your house? With so many things coming in and out, how could you not know."
"But...but the child is still young and doesn't know this!" Brother Niu shouted anxiously.
He has been cornered by Song Wuya's words now, after all his family is still the most important.
Although the children are indeed innocent, after all, they are still young, and they really don't understand these things.
However, Song Wuya didn't mean that, he smiled slightly: "This officer naturally knows that this officer will not do anything to the children. However, the children are young and their parents are not around, so we can't let them wander on the street unattended, right? ? So, it’s better to let them follow their mother.”
Song Wuya's cold words pierced the hearts of these people like a sharp knife.
Young children, who have lost their parents and are helpless, have no choice but to look at other people's faces if they want to survive.If others are kind, they can still give them a bite to eat, but after all, not everyone can give them food every day.
For a moment, in the courtroom, everyone's faces were gloomy.Obviously, Song Wuya's harsh sentence surprised everyone.
However, King Jin's expression remained normal, he knew that this was done on purpose by Song Wuya.
"Cultural official, can you record everything that the official said?" Song Wuya saw Brother Niu and the others looking at him with fierce faces, ignored him, and asked the official at the side.
The clerk immediately stood up and nodded: "My lord, everything has been recorded."
"Okay! Copy a few copies, and then take them over for them to mark." Song Wuya said coldly.
Only then did he turn around and look at Brother Niu and the others.These people all showed remorse, and many of them stared at Song Wuya fiercely, wishing they could eat him.
Looking at the appearance of these people, Song Wuya said coldly: "If I had known this, why did I have to do it now? You are all to blame for this, so don't blame me. It is because of my kindness that I spared your family's life. Just like What Ben Guang said earlier, if you count the crime of framing me, the imperial envoy, it is also in accordance with the law to destroy your nine clans."
These words were not meant by Song Wuya to scare them, but were true.After all, Song Wuya is an imperial envoy bestowed by the emperor, patrolling hunting on behalf of the sky as if the emperor came in person.
"Master Song, it's a little too heavy for you to charge them with such a crime? After all, even if they commit this crime, they shouldn't implicate their family members. It's really hard to send their wives and daughters to the frontier as prostitutes." It's a little too cruel."
Just as the civil servants were transcribing the confession, Zhu Yuanlong actually spoke again.
