A countryside in Jianping.

"Look, this is the real power you have, which will make all those who try to enslave you tremble at your feet."

Marshal Yang looked at the crowds of people in front of him.

Public trial is underway here...

Public trial of those local tyrants and evil gentry who were extremely guilty.

Although they chose to surrender in the face of the Red Turban Army, if they had committed serious crimes and committed bloody debts to the people before, they could not let go of this. Their surrender was only forgiven for the crime of rebellion, which means they did not have to implicate the three tribes. But if they had other crimes in their hands and had no connection with rebellion, once they were sued by the victim, would they still want to escape legal sanctions by surrender?

Where is such a good thing?

If Yang Dashui didn't come, they could get away with it. If Yang Dashui came, they would still get away with it. Then, didn't Yang Dashui come in vain?

Marshal Yang agreed, but the people did not agree!

Those victims who were wrongly sank to the bottom of the sea would not agree!

public trial.

A public trial must be held.

So this is being done by liberated areas in various places.

These guys surrendered too quickly, and Yang Feng's goal of cleaning was not achieved, but it could not be ended like this. Those who were truly guilty and evil should not be let go, otherwise he would not let the people feel the arrival of a new era. After all, the people in this area have been resentful to corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry for too long. The reason why he responded as soon as he arrived was that he hoped to have a chance to liquidate. If these guys surrendered, they would let them liquidate...

The people will be disappointed.

This public trial that swept across the country was to satisfy the people's voice and maintain Marshal Yang's image in the people's minds.

Besides, these guys are all those who are not killed and cannot be enough to quell the public's anger.

Behind Yang Feng, Zhang Pu and other soldiers of the bandits, Chang'an Army, Dingsheng Army, and even the soldiers of the Gui army's Zhongwu Army all looked at the scene in front of them with shocking eyes.

This kind of thing is really unimaginable to them.

Amid the roars of tens of thousands of militia, dozens of arrested local tyrants and evil gentry were escorted by the Red Turban soldiers and walked towards the trial table in front.

As they passed through the crowd, they were constantly slapped and old sputum from both sides, and they were trembling in the roar.

The judge of Dali Temple appointed by His Majesty himself sat high on the stage.

These are not from the right path, but are actually clerks from the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and other yamen. The newly reformed system has revoked the judicial power of local officials. In the future, the county masters have no right to judge, and the judicial power belongs to Dali Temple. Dali Temple sends courts to various counties, and at the same time, a circuit court is set up to set up stations in various places to regularly hear civil cases. The circuit courts are responsible for public trials here.

As for the public trial...

Unless state secrets were involved in the Ming Dynasty, all trials were held public trials.

Not to mention here, even the highest level of trial conducted by Dali Temple in Nanjing is also an open public trial for the people.

His Majesty the Emperor and Kaiyuan Bo would occasionally go to listen.

Of course, it is mainly His Majesty the Emperor.

Kaiyuan Bo is very busy and has heard it very few times, but as long as His Majesty the Emperor knows such things, he will go there, and sometimes he personally corrects the mistakes of Dali Temple...

The Holy Lord, the wise king!

So Dali Temple had to set up a special hearing seat for him.

The Ministry of Justice no longer participates in the trial, and the Censorate still has the right to report, but the censors lack interest in such matters.

It’s not that you can be famous by scolding the emperor.

"Kaiyuan Bo, Kaiyuan Bo, I am surrendering, I am surrendering, I am surrendering, you must be trustworthy, I am bringing the militia to open the city gate!"

A fellow villager struggled and cried in the hands of the Red Turban soldier.

"What is his crime?"

Yang Feng asked.

An official from Dali Temple next to him looked at the name on his chest, and then checked the files in his hands...

"When I returned to the Grand Marshal, this man bought more young children as scholars, and then died inexplicably, because he bought them in other places while famine, and the local situation was great, so the people did not dare to sue the government and ignored them. After the local liberation, his maids sued the government and said that they were tortured to death by him, and the corpses had been dug out. Many slaves in his family also testified, which was considered as complete with human evidence and physical evidence, and the death penalty was imposed."

The official said.

"Cut him!"

Yang Feng said angrily.

"Lingchi!"

"Cut halfway!"

...

All kinds of angry roars rang out immediately.

"It's all my servants who want to share my family's wealth and deliberately falsely accused them. They were framed by them. Oh my God, how can I prove the master?"

The fellow villagers were crying.

Yang Feng looked at the official...

"The evidence is conclusive. There are twelve corpses in total, which are consistent with what he bought over the years. Moreover, most of them died of serious injuries and were injured on the bones. This is the child he bought. If he bought it, he would serve him in close proximity. One or two people might be harmed by others, but the twelve ones are absolutely impossible. They can only be done by him. He is quite good at evil techniques and practices some evil methods to prolong his life."

The official said.

Yang Feng looked at him in confusion.

"There are some evil tricks in the folk that do have this, because they are too horrible and dare not make it public among the people."

The official whispered.

Of course, the main reason is that the Dali Temple Minister wants to keep some face for him. After all, the Dali Temple Minister is a genuine Jinshi appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, so he still has some care for such a gentry.

"Lingchi, let me tell you all over the country!"

Yang Feng shouted.

There is indeed this. Although it is difficult to tell whether the authenticity of Eunuch Gao is, he is a tax supervisor. Just because the tax supervisors who were beaten to death by various places in the Wanli Dynasty, even if he really wants to use this method to revive the male style, he may not have the ability. He is a Fujian tax supervisor. Do you think that the people of Fujian are simple and will not beat him up like the people of Suzhou, or even throw him into the sea and drown him?

His rumor was that when civil servants and Wanli were fighting the most fiercely over the tax supervision issue, we were famous for making up stories and framed by local gentry in the Ming Dynasty. We made up a sensational story for him and forced Wanli to take him back. Wanli was a sensible man, but in the end he could do nothing but just withdraw him.

but……

This kind of evil magic does exist!

There are also many people who believe in this kind of evil magic!

The fellow villagers continued to cry and were taken to the trial table. The fellow villagers who were also escorted behind him looked at Yang Feng with grief and anger, as if they were watching a scumbag who had been abandoned all the time.

Behind Yang Feng, Zhang Pu and others were all extremely excited.

At this moment they really woke up.

The boiling militia in front of them, the men who were taken to the judgment table clearly told them that in the face of the torrent of the people, all old forces were nothing more than native chickens and tiles. As long as they dared to rise up and resist, they could still take these men to the judgment table. As long as they no longer act as obedient people, they could still use their hands to fight for themselves with the Red Turban Army.

"Master, I'll go back now and walk back to Changsha. I don't have to wait for a boat, not to mention that the waterways are all upstream, and it may not be faster than walking."

He saluted and said.

"Yes, Dashang, let's walk back and go south from here to Huizhou, Guangxin, and Nanchang to Changsha. I used to walk by when I followed the merchants to deliver goods to Huizhou."

Another soldier said.

"Since that's the case, you can go back, be careful along the way, and act cautiously when you go back, and do not implicate your relatives recklessly."

Yang Feng said.

Zhang Pu and others looked solemn, gave a deep bow to him, and then turned around and began their journey home.

Yang Feng looked at their backs with satisfaction.

These are just for going back to ignite!

In fact, even if they go back, they will probably be re-organized into the army. These are veterans who have had enough experience in fighting, especially those of the Dingsheng Army, who can really set up formations against the Red Turban Army on the battlefield. They are also very precious to the Hongguang Dynasty and the other two. At this time, almost all those who can fight in the upper reaches were thrown here by Dong Yu, and they are eager to expand their troops. They are probably intercepted halfway and then re-organized into the army.

Then it becomes a fire seed, waiting for the burning moment.

At this time, Mei Guozhen, the newly appointed military officer of Hongguang, had arrived in Anqing and began to intercept soldiers released from Nanjing.

He was the former governor of Datong who returned from the north.

People from Macheng, Huguang.

After Chengtian, he was appointed as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and then stationed in Hukou to supervise the funds to ensure that Dong Yu's troops on the front line would not be short of supply. He also had 10,000 soldiers and even 1,000 northwest cavalry, which he recruited when he went south from the north, but in fact, the three-sided governor Li Wen secretly supported him. At this time, as the war in Jiangnan had obviously become more and more protracted, the officials and gentry in the north also began to work hard, after all, their purpose was to drag Yang Feng to Jiangnan.

In this case, of course we must secretly help Hongguangchao.

Not only that, Li Wen was secretly inciting Sichuan gentry to join the Hongguang Dynasty.

However, the latter is not stupid. It would be better if you don’t pay taxes like this. If you really join the Hongguang Dynasty, you will inevitably send troops and food.

They did not feel Yang Feng's threat.

In short, Mei Guozhen has already set up defenses in Anqing and intercepted the returned soldiers and reorganized them.

With Chizhou surrendering without fighting, Anqing was already their defensive place. It has to be said that Dong Yu's great defeat caused the Hongguang Dynasty to panic. They were originally forced to attack outside Nanjing City, but now they suddenly turned the offensive and defensive momentum, which turned them to defend Anqing to block Yang Feng's westward. However, they were not the most urgent, and the most urgent was Chen Jian from Jiangbei. As Dong Yu's entire army was wiped out, the upstream changed from attack to defense. Then the fool understood that Yang Feng should attack Huaiyang.

He had been sitting on the verge of Yang Feng's attack on Su Song before, but now he has begged Su Song and Zhejiang to watch over and help him.

Of course, he was purely a dream.

Whenever Yang Feng marched into Changzhou, he would not have been able to attack Zhenjiang with all his might, so that Changzhou would not have fallen so easily.

It was his turn to be unlucky at this time, but he wanted Su Song, the gentry of Zhejiang, to give up peace with Yang Feng and take the initiative to send troops to provoke Yang Feng to save him?

What a joke?
