Chapter 123 Beating drums to complain
Chapter 123 Beating drums to complain
"My Lord, you have to make the decision for me!"
"My husband went to the Anbei Palace and never came back. How can I live?"
"My Lord, I have gone to the palace, the governor's office, and the Supervisory Office, but no one has responded."
"My husband was the first to reach the summit, so please be kind, my lords, and don't let him die in vain!"
Heart-wrenching cries echoed.
A large number of people gathered on the street facing the entrance of the litigation hall and watched the young woman crying loudly.
The embroidered robe envoys were at a loss as Captain He had died in the Anbei Palace last night. The news had already spread and few people knew what kind of game was involved, but everyone in the Anbei army knew that the situation was very complicated.
Jiang He and County Magistrate Zhu rushed over from the backyard, and the vines on the huge drum were pulled off cleanly.
"Sir," the young woman shouted at the man, "Killing means killing. My husband's body was torn into pieces. I don't know the murderer's name. How can I face my ancestors? I have no face to live in this world anymore!"
The young woman lifted the white cloth next to her, revealing He Qianhu's headless body.
There were gasps from the crowd, his death was extremely horrifying.
Jiang He's face was more serious than ever before, even when he was fighting against the Grey Knight.
He was the one who killed the person, there is no doubt about that.
There is no doubt that someone was fanning the flames since the young woman was able to bring the corpse and start a lawsuit.
Captain He has made military achievements. If one thing is not handled properly, he will be cut off from the Anbei Army. Different from the path of a lone minister he chose, this time he will offend all the Anbei soldiers. This is definitely not just an implicit stance between the top leaders.
It is doubtful whether King Anbei is willing to pay a huge price in prestige to quell this matter. After all, his prestige in the army is the main support for him to suppress the four generals.
"My Lord, this move hits the vital point." County Magistrate Zhu said anxiously. He cut off the support from his superiors and caused dissatisfaction among his subordinates. This time, beating the drum to complain was very simple, but it also hit the vital point directly. If he was not careful, he would be criticized by thousands of people.
"I know." Jiang He answered seriously.
Next time, the body must be destroyed.
In the crowd, a young man covered his face with his sleeves and coughed violently twice.
Then he sighed, "Father broke the rules."
The shadow of the Yan family beside him replied indifferently: "So what? Since the King of Anbei has appointed a 17-year-old boy, he must be determined to fight to the death. It is not easy to have both. No matter how Pingluan Bo responds, the master is prepared."
The young master shook his head. If the Earl of Pingluan said that it was done by someone else, this method would be the worst. There were many brave soldiers in front of the palace. Unless there was the support of the prince, the four generals would surely make the truth known. If the Earl of Pingluan intended to settle the matter peacefully, with the power of the Yan family and his father's means, it would not be difficult to make the woman die in the courtroom immediately and make the matter a complete mess. In other words, it was precisely because of the perfect preparation that this drum-beating to appeal for justice took place.
The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, with a few people running around the streets shouting, trying to pass on information.
The northern city government office.
Before the commanding officer came to the court, someone in the crowd had already named the murderer. At that time, there were over a hundred soldiers in the Hall of Valor, and the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The news was no longer a secret.
The young woman seemed to have heard the discussion and cried out like crazy:
"So you are the murderer!"
"Give me back my husband's life!"
"He has the merit of being the first to reach the land. You, a foreigner, should get out of Yizhou!"
The last sentence set off the crowd.
"Get out! How dare you, a brat, sit in the court?"
"Your Majesty has been deceived by the murder of a meritorious official!"
"Are you bullying me because I have no one in Yizhou?"
County Magistrate Zhu felt cold all over, there was no solution to this situation, if you kill someone you must pay with your life, this was an open conspiracy.
Jiang He said calmly: "I did kill him."
After hearing this, the young woman was stunned and started cursing.
The onlookers, on the other hand, quieted down and paid full attention.
"Last night, General Chen, who is well known to all of you, requested a duel. He sent Captain He, and I agreed." "At the banquet that night, not only General Chen was there, but also the other three generals. Almost all the Captains of Anbei Prefecture were present. The banquet lasted until the third watch. People around the palace should have noticed it."
“Not only that, the head of the local Yan family also walked into the palace gate and almost sat at the same table with me.”
"In fact, before the banquet began, everyone went out of the city to welcome the nobles back home. Among them were the leaders of the Daimyo clans and the lords you all knew. Without exception, if there were no nobles, it might be because they were not qualified enough. Everything I said is true."
"and……"
"shut up!!!"
Yan Jiaying shouted in fear.
Stop talking. Everyone has been dragged into this. He doesn't know whether this earl will live or die, but as the organizer of the plan, he will definitely be pushed out by the head of the Yan family to calm down the public anger. According to the conspiracy theory, all the big figures who appeared in the mouth of the earl of pacification will become accomplices in the death of Captain He. The key point is that this earl never said a single false statement, and even shamelessly gave people the illusion that he had no choice but to be a pawn.
After the words were spoken, the crowd fell silent.
"It's really amazing."
The young master turned and left. The controversial point at the scene had become a conflict within the upper echelons of Daming Prefecture. The onlookers no longer felt like they were in the other person's shoes, and their anger suddenly cooled. Some even felt that Captain He was one of the "adults" and that he "deserved" to die.
"Compensate for my husband's life."
Suddenly, a figure approached the young woman.
Jiang He's pupils trembled, and he activated the Sword Scale Snail Dragon Armor and the hunting engine, and ejected the easiest-to-activate Small Withered Sword Finger at the fastest speed.
In a flash, a dark red stream of light pierced the figure.
In the crowd, an ordinary short man drew his sword and handed it out, and the sword light just broke Xiao Ku's sword finger.
"What a fast finger-snapping skill."
The short man retreated into the crowd.
The figure came up to the young woman and slapped her on the forehead.
The young woman died on the spot.
"Humph, a mere bitch dares to slander my uncle. Even if we kill her, what does it matter? Do you think you can beat the drum of litigation?"
In full view of everyone, the soldier looked arrogant and casually wiped away the blood on his palm.
He turned around and glanced at someone provocatively.
Jiang Wuyang was highly regarded by King Anbei, the governor of Zhu County was promoted to the position of dispatching envoy, and the deputy general Du Chang was in charge of the real power of 6,000 soldiers and horses.
But what about him?
No one cares or mindset at all.
In this case, then agreeing to the Yan family's recruitment would mean a bright future.
If he had been recruited earlier, he wouldn't have been overwhelmed by a seventeen-year-old boy, a crude lieutenant who couldn't read a single word, and a county magistrate who only knew how to take credit.
"Who doesn't want to climb up?" the soldier thought to himself.
There was a silence so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Something strange happened, and the person who beat the drum to appeal for justice died. The young man looked back in shock, and the shadow of the Yan family shuddered.
"Father."
"Master, you even hid it from me."
After a brief silence, the crowd became outraged.
Jiang He had a blank expression on his face. He turned around and saw that the seal of the commander-in-chief on the desk was gone.
Magistrate Zhu lamented again and again.
"Why is this happening? Why is this happening!"
