Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 211 The Naijing Trial
Hattori Hanzo, who was dressed in black and wore a sky ghost mask, was half-kneeling in front of Su Yuan, waiting for orders.

Su Yuan asked, "Hanzo, what level is your strength?"

"Based on my lord's understanding, he is probably the master," Hattori Hanzo said.

"Grandmaster... the starting point is quite high."

Su Yuan was a little surprised. He thought that Hattori Hanzo would be almost the same as Zhao Yungang when he was summoned, and they were both half-step masters.

But after thinking about it, Hattori Hanzo, as a representative figure among ninjas, should be more powerful.

And if you come out with the realm of a master, it can come in handy a lot.

Su Yuan pondered for a moment, and said, "Hanzo, I have a task for you."

"Please instruct your lord."

"On Dongwa's side, several major ninja sects have suffered heavy casualties in the battle with Yamata no Orochi, and most of the remaining ones are small sects that are not popular. I want you to use the fastest speed to integrate Dongwa's ninja genres For one. Can it be done?"

In Su Yuan's eyes, the ninja sect of the Eastern Japanese is similar to the Jianghu sect of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Both sides are independent of the government, and both have certain extraordinary strengths.

It's just that the relationship between the ninja and the shogunate is not as rigid and hostile as the relationship between the Jianghu sect and the Dazhou government.

If Su Yuan wants to completely control Dongwa, he will naturally not allow these ninja schools to exist independently.

Now that Hattori Hanzo is summoned, he has the level of a master, no matter in any genre, he can become a Ninja sect.

Su Yuan's purpose is to let Hattori Hanzo establish a brand new ninja genre, and then unify the entire ninja world.To achieve this, it may be very difficult for him alone, but with the secret support of the Bei'an Army behind him, it is not difficult.

Let Hattori Hanzo be the agent of the ninja world, and Su Yuan is equivalent to controlling the entire political and ninja world of the Eastern Japan. In this way, there will be no more accidents.

Hattori Hanzo bowed his head and said, "This subordinate understands."

"Go to Qi Jiguang first, he has a lot of information. After you understand it clearly, you can act alone."

"Yes."

Hattori Hanzo disappeared in front of Su Yuan in a flash.

Su Yuan went to bed early, and there were still important things to do the next day.

The next day.

On this day, the streets were crowded with people, many people in Naijing left their homes and went to a large open space in the city of Naijing.

This open space was originally used for sacrificial ceremonies, but now there are many tools placed on it, such as benches, carts, hemp ropes... and the tiger-head guillotine with a cold light shining.

Today is Judgment Day.

Ever since the Bei'an Army announced that all war criminals in Naijing would be tried, the people have been suffering in anticipation and fear.

Some were looking forward to the trial because they had been persecuted by the shogunate.

Some people are afraid of the trial because they are afraid that the Bei'an army will not only judge once, but will have endless trials.

But whether they are willing or not, it is the Bei'an Army that is leading this matter, and they can only accept it.

Now on this day, the common people also want to see the trial scene with their own eyes, so tens of thousands of people gathered near the square early in the morning.

Some small vendors also hawked goods at every turn, and some people occupied the front row in advance to sell to those who came later.

But people still looked at the tiger-headed guillotine involuntarily and whispered.

"It seems that the guillotine must see blood today..."

"I don't know how many people will die!"

"If you want me to say something like Shanggong Shingen, you should die! He has caused us ordinary people to suffer!"

"Agreed, all the copper coins in my family were taken away by the samurai of the Shanggong Shogunate. Now it's all over, someone finally came to deal with them!"

"The general is dead, who knows what will happen in the future? I heard that all the big names have been arrested."

"It would be great if the great priestess Shenqianle could become a daimyo. Have you listened to her speech these days? I really think she is really thinking about us."

"That being said, she is a woman after all..."

Discussions among the people continued uninterrupted, and the trial obviously started at noon, but those who came early in the morning had been waiting.More and more people came, and by noon, several nearby roads were blocked.

A lot of people waited until noon, and the Lord finally came.

First Sergeant Bei'an.

The solemn and well-armored soldiers opened a path, and then walking on this path was Su Yuan in military uniform, and plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums who were closely guarding him.

The people in Naijing knew that this man was the commander of the Bei'an Army and the ruler of the Bei'an regime, but many people were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.

"That's Lord Su Yuan? He's so young and handsome..."

"What a terrifying aura!"

"Those four girls around him are so beautiful."

"Hush! Don't die!"

"This kind of momentum, this kind of ostentation, a real man should be like this!"

"Don't dream, kid..."

The people stood on tiptoe, stared wide-eyed, and looked at Su Yuan with great curiosity.

The gaze of different people has different meanings, some admire, some hate, some are grateful... But the background color of everyone's gaze is the same fear.

Just an ordinary Bei'an soldier made them afraid, not to mention this prince who commanded everything, this man who almost conquered their country.

Su Yuan walked on the path opened by the soldiers, with a calm expression.

He has experienced a lot of big scenes, and he can keep his face in the face of this kind of crowd.

He walked all the way to the middle of the square and sat down on the chair that had been placed.

Afterwards, all kinds of people entered the arena.

Among them were some soldiers, some recorders, and many Eastern Wa people, including the prefect of Torioka Prefecture, who came here as witnesses charged with crimes.

Shenqianle Reimu also came. As soon as she appeared, the crowd caused commotion, and people shouted "Master Shenqianle!" to express their love.

Shenqianle Lingmeng has spoken around these days and attracted many fans. At this moment, she is also smiling and waving, responding to the voices of the people.

Finally, it is finally the turn of the protagonists of today's trial, the war criminals.

Bei'an Army soldiers brought a group of criminals headed by Shang Gong Xinxuan to the scene.

The criminals wore chains and looked listless and terrified.

When passing through the crowd, many people cursed angrily.

"go to hell!"

"You guys brought war to our country! Deserve to die!"

"Guys who eat too much and are lazy, it's finally your turn to suffer!"

Many people who were oppressed on weekdays finally let out a bad breath today and continued to curse.

There are also some common people who look at figures like Shanggong Shingen, who are usually out of reach for them, now reduced to prisoners, with complicated expressions.

In their view, Shanggong Shingen and others, as the leaders of their own country, are now reduced to this point. Isn't it the failure of the entire country?They want to be happy, but they really can't be happy.

Su Yuan sat on a chair and looked at the war criminals who came one by one. He found that most of them were ashamed, their heads almost hanging down to their chests, and they didn't dare to look at the people on both sides.

However, there were also a few people who walked with their heads held high, as if they were not here to accept the trial, but to be awarded honors, with no trace of shame on their faces.

One of them is Shanggong Shingen, who almost collapsed yesterday, but after one night, he seems to have adjusted his mentality again, and he is not afraid of the trial.

The war criminals came to the trial stand, stood in several rows, and took turns on the stage.

"Get ready to start." Qi Jiguang said coldly.

Although Su Yuan was present, he was not in charge of presiding over the trial.He is only in charge of watching, and Qi Jiguang is in charge of the main process.

Qi Jiguang's ranking of judges is based on crimes from small to large.The first person to be escorted to the trial stand by the soldiers was a samurai captain named 'Mizumoto Xu', who was born in the Nanshan Shogunate.

When Shui Benxu heard his charges, out of the corner of his eyes, he looked at the tiger's head gleaming with cold light, and shook his head in fright.

"No, no, no! I didn't! Don't kill me! I'm not guilty!!"

"Not guilty?" Qi Jiguang said, "Witness."

Seven or eight people from Naijing came to the stage.

They stared at Mizumoto Xu and spoke as witnesses.

"My lord, this hateful bastard killed my father half a year ago, robbed my wife, and later forced me to sign the debt bill, otherwise he will kill me..." The witness took out the debt bill in black and white.

Qi Jiguang took the debt bill, held it up to Shui Benxu and said: "The evidence is as solid as a mountain! What else do you have to argue about?"

"me……"

Another witness also cried: "My lord, he also led the warriors to rob our family of a cow! The cow is our family's livelihood. Without the cow, I will starve to death. Woo..."

The accusation full of blood and tears, coupled with the mountain of ironclad evidence, shocked Shuiben to the extreme. He could no longer quibble, and the angry voices of the people almost drowned his begging for mercy.

"This beast must be killed!"

"kill him!!!"

"Scum!"

"This guy doesn't deserve to live!"

The crowd was so excited that Qi Jiguang immediately ordered: "Behead!"

The crime is revealed, the evidence is conclusive, and no redundant procedures are required.

After Qi Jiguang gave the order, the soldiers of the Bei'an Army immediately pressed Shui Benxu to the side of the tiger's head.

Guillotine lifted, then stayed.

"what!"

The common people exclaimed, many of them covered their eyes and dared not look at it, but there were also many of them who were extremely excited and punched with flushed faces.

"it is good!"

"That's right! Next!"

The No. 1 war criminal was beheaded, which almost ignited the blood of the people. They shouted and felt extremely excited.

They are excited because they feel involved!
In this trial, everything is open, criminals, crimes, witnesses, evidence...these things are not hidden or false, everything is on the surface, so they, the onlookers, can also participate in the judgment.

In this way, when they see the heinous people receive retribution and be sentenced to death, they will naturally feel extremely happy and enjoyable!
This has an excellent release effect on the depressed mood in recent days. Just imagine, for ordinary people like them, what could be more refreshing than seeing a hateful criminal being punished?

Su Yuan, who was sitting at the back, nodded slightly when he saw the enthusiasm of the common people.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

The only pity is that there are no such things as video recorders in this era, otherwise this trial must be recorded, so that future generations can see it.

The trial continues.

The second is the food officer in the Shanggong shogunate. He used the war to send people to search for food in the people's homes.In name it is said to be a donation for the country, but in fact those who do not hand over their food will be beaten severely, and many are even beaten to death or maimed.

As soon as the food official came to the trial stand, many people below recognized him immediately.

This is good, before Qi Jiguang announced the crime of this person, the people all shouted.

"I know this bastard! He led people to rob our family of food!"

"Damn it! He also robbed my family of food stored for the winter!"

"Kill this bastard who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!"

"Must kill him!!!"

Hearing the momentum, Su Yuan raised his eyebrows: "It seems that this guy is quite famous."

Shen Qianle Lingmeng was sitting on the side, and heard the words and said: "I have heard from many people in the past few days that the winter food they prepared was robbed by the various shogunate officials a few days ago. The people resent these food officials. , it should be."

Su Yuan nodded: "Damn it indeed."

"Those grains are probably still in the shogunate warehouse..." Shenqianle Lingmeng asked Su Yuan for advice, "Why don't we return them to the common people?"

"It's natural."

It was useless for Su Yuan to ask for so much food. Besides, when winter was coming, the common people had no food at home, so many people would starve to death.

Shen Qianle breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was sure enough about this, she was still afraid of the one in ten thousand appearing.

Fearing that in case Su Yuan needs a large amount of grain as military rations, he will not return the grain looted by the shogunate to the people.

On the judgment stand, the grain officer was so frightened that he couldn't stand still when he heard the voices of the people telling him to die.

His legs were trembling and his lips were trembling all the time. After hearing that he was sentenced to death, his eyelids rolled and he almost fainted.

"Forgive me!" He knelt down and cried, resisting the soldiers who dragged him to the execution, "I also obeyed orders! I went because the housekeeper asked me to collect food! I can't blame it all!"

"It's a good one to follow orders!" Qi Jiguang said, "You were ordered to collect food, so beating people to death is also an order? Just follow orders and want to escape guilt, daydreaming! Drag it on!"

Soldiers followed orders and dragged people away.

However, before his execution, Qi Jiguang added with a murderous tone: "Don't worry. You just take a step first, and the people you are ordered to follow will soon follow."

The guillotine fell, and there was another round of cheers.

Subsequently, one by one with the most serious crimes was tried, basically for capital crimes.

The trial lasted until the evening. After two hours, the common people still didn't feel tired, and there were even more and more people.

This is because the biggest big fish has not yet played, and they are unwilling to leave!

After several more war criminals were sentenced, it was finally Big Fish's turn.

Compared with the previous excitement, the common people were silent this time, watching with bated breath as Kamigong Shingen was brought to the trial stand.

The shogun who was once the most powerful in Eastern Japan appeared as the one being judged at this moment.

After he stood on the stage, he didn't look at Qi Jiguang or the Bei'an Army, but at the many common people.

"Everyone, I think I... am innocent!"
