Chapter 780 Public Trial

The thieves were also escorted back together.

Princess Dangyang's illegitimate son is now named Yue Qi, and his ostensible identity is the young owner of the medicine shop of the Yue family in Nanya Mountain. He has already arranged to get married in August next year.

He was so ignorant of his true identity that he was confused when he was held hostage by Zhou Ze's people.

Fortunately, Rong Jin arrived in time and rescued him before he was imprisoned in the bandit's lair, so Yue Qi continued to be confused.

Rong Jin told him that the rebels wanted to plot their family's property.

Yue Qi refused to believe it. After all, the Yue family only had a small family property in the local area, and they were not considered rich. There were several households at the foot of Nanya Mountain, so why were other families fine?

Of course, he wasn't expecting something to happen to someone else's family, he just didn't understand.

Rong Jin didn't explain anymore.

The people in the capital heard the sound of fighting outside, but everyone was afraid of getting into trouble, let alone watching the excitement, they didn't even dare to get up, and covered their heads and pretended to be asleep.

But when he got up early in the morning, he found that the street outside was clean without a trace of blood. If it wasn't for the damage to many things on the side of the road, he would have suspected that he had a nightmare last night.

Tentatively walking onto the street, he saw a neighbor who was as dazed as himself.

Some small vendors who didn't know where to go went out as usual, and the rest of them saw that they were fine, and the shops facing the street started to open sporadically.

Although people's hearts are still floating, the normal order of life is slowly returning.

When it was time for dinner, a loud gong suddenly sounded on the street. The yamen servant of Jingzhao Mansion said that Mr. Jingzhaoyin Feng was going to try the prisoners in public at Caishikou, but anyone who had nothing to do was allowed to listen.

There is a small square at the entrance of Caishi, which has been cleared out, and ropes are surrounded around it. Every five steps, there are two soldiers from Wucheng Bingmasi guarding it.

The inner circle is the guard of the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion.

A high platform was set up in the middle and a public case was set up.

Feng Tianshu was sitting right behind the case, accompanied by Tong Zhi and Tong Jue on the left and right, and on the slightly lower table behind were Master Xing Ming, Master Daobi, and two civil servants.

Master Xing Ming helped Feng Tianshu to approve the sentencing, while Dao Bi Shi Ye and Wen Li were responsible for recording the trial process.

The stern-faced yamen servants held water and fire sticks, and instruments of torture were piled up at their feet.

A row of people in Confucian shirts kneeled down in the simple lobby.

Some people recognized it: "That, that, isn't that Mr. Li, the storyteller in Ruyi Tea House? What happened to him?"

Someone shouted again: "The second one on the left is Mr. Zhao, the storyteller in Tianxiang Teahouse!"

The rest of the people were also called to reveal their identities one after another.There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

Feng Tianshu saw that the time was almost up, he slapped the gavel, and the servants shouted, "Wei...wu..."

The sound of water and fire sticks hitting the ground is shocking.

Immediately, the hall was silent.

Feng Tianshu just started to try the case. The case was extremely simple. First, he called a storyteller to come forward and asked him why he spread the counter-book that incited people's hearts.

These storytellers have all been interrogated once, and they know the pros and cons. Naturally, it is impossible to refute at this time, so they explained how they took people's money and helped spread rumors.

It was stated that someone else gave him the anti-book, saying that he could get ten taels of silver for one book, and an extra 100 taels of silver after visiting ten teahouses.

In the past, the storyteller said in a teahouse that he could not earn a tael of silver for a day of reading, and this money was no different from a huge sum of money, so he failed to withstand the temptation.

The same is true of the confessions of the rest of the storytellers.

Feng Tianshu ordered people to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones for them, and asked them to write down their crimes in detail.
