my grandfather was qin shi huang
Chapter 416 Public trial!
Before the wealthy families in Zhang County could react, the Huang family, Zhang family and Wei family, who were deeply rooted in Zhang County, had already captured them all and were escorted to the military academy grounds in an endless stream.
"what happened?"
When Zuo Yong, the head of the Zuo family, heard the news, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock. He didn't care about losing his composure. He stood up suddenly, took a few steps forward, and looked at the steward of the house standing in front of him in disbelief.
"Master, I don't know the specific situation. Before this, there was no news. The emperor's eldest grandson's people suddenly launched an attack and surrounded the Huang family, Zhang family and Wei family..."
Having said this, the old steward took a deep breath, unable to wake up from the scene he just saw.
"The Huang family and the Zhang family obediently surrendered. The young master of the Wei family was unwilling to be humiliated. He led the dead soldiers and guards in the mansion to form a formation to protect themselves. He tried to confront the emperor's eldest grandson's people, but was shot to death by random arrows. All the dead soldiers who participated in the confrontation The guards and guards were all slaughtered. It is said that the Wei Mansion was filled with blood, and the ground was stained red with blood. The smell of blood could be smelled from a distance..."
Zuo Yong:......
The chubby face had an unprecedented serious expression!
It is one thing for him to please the emperor's eldest grandson regardless of his status, but it is another thing for him to let the emperor's eldest grandson attack the wealthy family of Zhang County. In a word, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad!
Today, if His Highness the Emperor's Grandson can take down the Huang family, Zhang family and Wei family without any hesitation, then the same move may be used against him in the future.
He took a deep breath.
"Take my famous assassin and contact the Gao family and Zhao family immediately to see if they have heard anything..."
……
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
With the arrest of the Huang family, Zhang family and Wei family, undercurrents surged throughout Zhang County.
These wealthy families in Zhang County have all been in Zhang County for hundreds of years, and some can even be traced back to the period of the first monarch Xiong Qu. They are not only deeply rooted in Zhang County, but also have intertwined relationships with major families.
"We must not sit idly by when the Huang family, Zhang family, and Wei family are suffering. This matter is no longer a matter of one family. It has a bearing on the well-being of every family in Zhang County——"
Having said this, Zuo Yong took a deep breath and looked at the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Chi, with a solemn expression.
Zhao Chi's face no longer looked relaxed as before.
"The Emperor's eldest grandson is already unparalleled in prestige and fierceness, and he comes with His Majesty's sword. The problem cannot be solved by confrontation. However, no matter what, we must personally ask for an explanation from His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson. We cannot allow him to act unscrupulously. , just take advantage of us people for no reason..."
After hearing Zhao Chi's words, everyone agreed. Even Xing Rang, the head of the Xing family who was closest to the emperor's eldest grandson, couldn't help but nodded slightly.
"Good, just follow the words of the two family heads!"
However, before they came to the door, the county governor's house had already announced the charges against the Huang family, Zhang family and Wei family.
Collude with traitors, spread rumors, and intend to rebel!
As soon as this accusation came out, everyone who had already stepped out of Zuo's courtyard in an aggressive manner couldn't help but look at each other and stopped in their tracks. Although everyone is dissatisfied with the emperor's actions, everyone has to consider their own actions in front of this hat.
If you stand up for the Huang family, Zhang family, and Wei family, if you don't do it right, you may be labeled as colluding with the rebels and get burned!
They did not doubt the determination of the emperor's eldest grandson at all.
The disaster in Changsha County is not far away.
Dozens of aristocratic families were swept away, hundreds of people were beheaded, tens of thousands of people were sent to Mobei, and hundreds of years of family accumulation were almost wiped out!
"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that there are still some matters at home that I can't get out of - I'm sorry, I'll take my leave first..."
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I have some things at home that I have to take care of right away. Farewell, farewell..."
"Oops, I suddenly feel uncomfortable in my stomach. Everyone, I have to go back first..."
"...Farewell——"
"..."
After a while, the originally aggressive group of people dispersed, as if nothing had happened.
Looking at the empty yard, Zuo Yong couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at Zhao Chi with a wry smile.
"Let's discuss this matter later..."
Zhao Chi also nodded solemnly.
"Let's take a look. According to the way that His Highness the Emperor's Grandson does things, he will never take someone out of thin air. Since he dares to ignore the opinions of everyone and attack our three families, the Royal Family, the Zhang Family and the Wei Family, he must come up with something convincing. Reason, otherwise——"
Having said this, Zhao Chi sneered.
"Although the eldest grandson of the emperor is decisive in killing and unbeatable, if he annoys us, we will definitely let him know that Zhangjun is the Zhangjun of our great Zhangjun family, and it is not something that an outsider like him, Zhao Ying, can manipulate at will. I don't believe it. With the public outcry, he really dares to risk the disapproval of the world and attack us..."
Zuo Yong glanced at the indignant Zhao Chi and smiled.
"Brother Zhao, you don't need to provoke me with words. I, Zuo Yong, am not one of those fools from the Wei family. I will get excited and do stupid things after being provoked by someone with a few words. If you are dissatisfied, just go and tell that person The emperor's eldest grandson has a look. If Brother Zhao really has such courage, from now on in our Zuo family, Brother Zhao will be the only one who follows his lead..."
Zhao Chi seemed to have not heard the sarcasm in Zuo Yong's words, and cupped his hands at Zuo Yong as usual.
"Brother Zuo, this is serious. I, Zhao Chi, have always been a sincere gentleman. I am not as insidious as you said. I am just complaining for everyone..."
Having said this, he turned around and left very simply.
"Since Brother Zuo doesn't trust me, I'll resign first..."
Seeing Zhao Chi turning away without hesitation, Zuo Yong spat and cursed the old fox secretly. Don't look at this guy who laughs and laughs every day, looking like he only wants to eat, drink and have fun, but has no ambitions. In fact, this old guy has a lot of plans.
The Huang family, Zhang family and Wei family were arrested, and all the wealthy families in Zhang County collectively lost their voices. However, there was an undercurrent in Zhang County, as if there were a pair of invisible hands pushing behind the scenes, guiding public opinion.
Deliberately leading the conflict to the extremely sensitive conflict between the Qin people and the Chu people. It is believed that the fall of the Huang family, Zhang family and Wei family was not a collusion and rebellion at all, but the emperor's eldest grandson took the opportunity to purge and massacre the people of Zhangjun.
"Your Highness, the public opinion outside is surging and is becoming more and more unfavorable to us. I suspect that someone is secretly fueling the flames..."
Zhang Liang stood in front of Zhao Ying with a respectful expression, reporting on the recent public opinion trends of the people in Zhangjun City.
Zhao Ying nodded slightly, his face as usual, and said calmly.
"Inform Sheriff Zuo that the charges against the three families can be announced one after another..."
"promise--"
The awe in Zhang Liang's eyes became even stronger.
He had already understood the emperor's grandson's military skills, bravery, and intelligence, but he did not expect that the emperor's grandson's grasp of human nature had reached this level.
From the pre-planning, to the sudden attack, to the reactions of all parties, almost everything was within the expectations of Huang Changsun.
Sheriff's Mansion. Jian Yong looked at the information sent by Captain Jing himself, and felt more and more in awe of the emperor's eldest grandson. How is this meant to kill someone?
This is basically the roots of Duan Huang, Zhang, and Wei in Zhang County!
"Zhang Fucheng, what orders does His Highness have..."
Jian Yong saw Zhang Liang coming in. Without waiting for Zhang Liang to greet him, Jian Yong stood up first and greeted him. Zhang Liang stopped and bowed politely in return.
"Liang met Governor Zuo..."
After saying that, he straightened up and said with a smile.
"The Zuo County Sheriff is really good at predicting things. Your Highness asked your subordinates to come and inform the County Sheriff that these charges can now be slowly released..."
"Okay, I'll go and do it now—"
Jian Yong stood up immediately and was about to go down to make arrangements, but when he saw that Zhang Liang had not left, he immediately stopped and said with a smile.
"Does Zhang Fucheng have anything to give you?"
Zhang Liang smiled and shook his head, cupping his hands.
"In front of County Sheriff Zuo, I don't dare to say anything. Instead, I have an immature idea and want to talk to the County Sheriff..."
Jian Yong raised his hands seriously.
"Zhang Fucheng, please speak. I am listening attentively..."
Zhang Liang nodded and said softly.
"If the county governor thinks it's appropriate, he might as well open the trial and let the victims speak in public about the grievances and misfortunes they have suffered over the years..."
Jian Yong was startled for a moment, then nodded heavily.
"Okay! I'll go and arrange it right now—"
Just as the public opinion in Zhang County became more and more fierce, many people, driven by thoughtful people, wanted to gather in front of the county governor's office to seek an explanation for the Huang family, Zhang family, and Wei family.
The Sheriff's Mansion suddenly made an earth-shattering decision.
There will be a public trial of the crimes of the Huang, Zhang and Wei families at the military academy grounds. At that time, all the aristocratic families in Zhangjun City, as well as the respected elders, will be invited, and all the people in the city can attend!
After hearing the news, Zhao Chi held the wine in his hand and remained silent for a long time. In the end, he smiled, sighed with emotion, and drank the wine in one gulp.
"The emperor's eldest grandson is really a young man, he is so ruthless..."
After saying that, Shi Shiran lay down on his couch again and waved to the beautiful maid beside him.
"Let's play music, let's dance--"
"Master, do you really want to go tomorrow?"
The old steward did not get a clear answer from Zhao Chi, so he asked for instructions again with some uncertainty. Zhao Chi squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying the gentle handling of the beautiful maid next to him, and waved his hand indifferently.
"His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson has invited me, how could I not go..."
When he said this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and his words were inexplicably authentic.
"Not only do I want to go, but I also want to go early and try to be the first guest. What if some pie in the sky is going to fall on my Zhao family's head..."
Although the old steward didn't understand what his master was saying, he understood his master's instructions and immediately went down to prepare.
Zuo family.
When Zuo Yong got the news, he was startled at first, and then made almost the same decision as Zhao Chi and ordered his eldest son around him.
"You can come with me early tomorrow morning -"
Having said this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Immediately ask the accountant to count all the money that can be withdrawn from the family. This time, our Zuo family cannot fall behind that person named Zhao..."
The eldest son of the Zuo family went out confused.
Looking at his eldest son, Zuo Yong couldn't help but sigh helplessly. If the tiger father and son do not take this opportunity to tie the Zuo family and His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson together, once he is gone, the decline of his lineage will almost become inevitable just because of his stupid son.
……
On the second day, an unprecedented public trial was held in Zhangjun City.
On the stage, more than thirty famous and promising families in Zhangjun City came to watch in person, and the audience was crowded with people who came after hearing the news.
Kiss or not, people from my hometown.
In this era, the degree of regional solidarity was far beyond the imagination of later generations. Some of these people are simply resistant to the Qin people's attacks on the locals of Zhang County. Of course, there are also some who are simply watching the fun...
No matter who it is, as long as I can watch those noble people who used to be superior, kneeling on the stage like dogs and being interrogated, I will feel happy!
More people were curious about the so-called crimes of the three families, and wanted to see what kind of decent evidence the emperor's eldest grandson could produce, and he dared to stand trial in public.
Everyone thought that in this public trial, the emperor's eldest son would be eager to have people come up with irrefutable evidence that the three families were colluding to rebel and plotting rebellion. However, things developed. After a skinny, gaunt man with disheveled hair took the stage, It completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
Although in February in Zhang County, the trees are covered with peanuts and the orioles are flying around, the woman's clothes are still obviously a little thin. The child in her arms is still in swaddling clothes, which is better. Behind him were several children with bare feet and tattered clothes. They couldn't even hide their bodies, but their lips were a little blue from the cold.
As soon as the woman came on stage, she took the children behind her and kowtowed to the emperor's eldest grandson and the county governor Zuo Yong who were sitting on the stage.
"My lord, I want to sue the Wei family. They bullied others and forced my family to sell their land. My child's father was unwilling. They beat him seriously on the spot. Within a few days after returning home, he was gone. They even beat him and said, When the child's father was still alive, he borrowed debts from their family and took over several acres of farmland that my family was assigned..."
As the woman spoke, she kowtowed on the stage and cried loudly.
A group of family heads on the stage who came to listen couldn't help but frown. Although they didn't send anyone to investigate this kind of thing, they knew that it was probably true.
The Wei family's appearance has indeed become somewhat ugly in recent years.
However, there was no big fluctuation in my heart. Normally, among these aristocratic families, whose homes and lands are connected by roads, who hasn't used some small tricks?
But for the people in the audience, it suddenly aroused emotional resonance!
Human nature is to sympathize with the weak, especially the weak, and it is easier to arouse empathy in this kind of thing. There are even many people present, or many relatives of others who have had similar experiences. At this time, they are listening to the stage The woman above was crying miserably, and all of them were suddenly filled with panic and unbearable expressions on their faces.
"The Wei family is really damned..." (End of Chapter)
