The rise of the poor

Chapter 1548 Public Trial Assembly

Until now, Han Laosan, Liu Gouzi, and Zhang Tiedan realized the seriousness of the matter. They did not expect that the two women would be beheaded if they slipped out of the camp and slept with them. Begging, begging for their lives to be spared.

Kowtow like pounding garlic, the blood flowed out from the kowtow, the begging was heartbreaking
Those who hear it are sad and those who see it cry.
All the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army at the public trial meeting, and the folks in Zhuangjia Village and the nearby ten miles and eight villages all turned their eyes to Zhu Pingan at this moment, wanting to see how Zhu Pingan would deal with it.

"Seeing that they really admitted their mistakes, I think the old man may spare them this time."

"Hey, this public trial is just for us to watch, and to keep our mouths shut is to give Zhuangjia Village an explanation. Just wait and see, the old man will say after a while, 'Knowing mistakes can be corrected, there is nothing better to do', 'Put down the butcher knife , Immediately become a Buddha' and other routines, and then let them go, these are all routines."

"They are all the soldiers of the Grand Master, and they will fight with the Grand Master in the future. They are still useful to the Grand Master. What are we ordinary people? They are soft-spoken and useless to the Grand Master. Who cares about our lives."

The common people started discussing in private, and many people thought that Zhu Ping'an might hold it high and spare Han Laosan and his life.

"I don't think so. Your Excellency is not a person who bends the law for personal gain. I heard that when you were the county magistrate in Jingnan, you always enforced the law impartially. You have Zhu Qingtian's name from far and near."

There are also people who have different opinions.

However, there are not many people who agree with this opinion, and there are only a few people in a village.There are less than a hundred villages in ten miles and eight villages, and most of them hold the first opinion.

Under the eyes of everyone, Zhu Pingan shook his head firmly in the face of the begging of Han Laosan and the other three.

The three of Han Laosan, Liu Gouzi and Zhang Tiedan suddenly turned ashen, and they kowtowed even more forcefully.

Boom boom boom. The sound of kowtow is like beating a drum, and the sound of pleading is like a cuckoo weeping blood.

"My lord, I, Han Laosan, was originally a bandit who robbed houses. I am grateful for my lord's consolation. I followed the village master to abandon the dark and turned to the light. I recruited An to become the Zhejiang army. The day before yesterday Japanese pirate soldiers surrounded Yingtian City. I followed my lord and rushed towards the Japanese pirates without blinking my eyes. Your lord We were asked to raid the Japanese pirate camp at midnight, and I didn’t say no. We worked together and killed two Japanese pirates! One of the Japanese pirates was killed by me, and I was stabbed in the chest for it! My lord, for Ming Dynasty, for the common people, I have shed blood and made meritorious deeds, I beg you to spare my life, I will change my mind, go to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of ​​fire, and make meritorious deeds!"

After kowtowing seven or eight times in a row, Han Laosan tore off his clothes, revealing the scar on his chest, and said with his neck stuck.

"Me too. I, Liu Gouzi, faced the Japanese pirates and broke through the room. I didn't take half a step back. We five killed two Japanese pirates. I also contributed a lot. I beg you to forgive me this time. I will never do it again." I dare not. In the future, I will fight bravely to kill the Japanese and never retreat, please forgive me this time."

Liu Gouzi also begged for mercy.

Zhang Tiedan was crying with tears streaming down his face, his nose full of tears, "My lord, I also rushed towards the Japanese pirates without hesitation the night before. After a while, the Japanese pirates were not allowed to run away, we Wucai killed two Japanese pirates, and I also made meritorious service, my lord, please spare my life, I am still young, and I haven’t married a wife yet.”

Han Laosan and the other three kept begging for mercy, and in order to get a lighter punishment, they kept telling their achievements.

Hearing the three people talk about their merits, the people in the audience couldn't help discussing.

"I didn't expect that they killed Japanese pirates the day before yesterday.

"Killing two Japanese pirates and raping two women, one is meritorious and the other is demeritful. If you compare the merits and demerits, it feels that the merit is greater. It is not impossible to spare their lives. In the future, let them take the crime and make meritorious deeds to fight against the Japanese pirates. You can earn money by killing a pirate.”

"It can't be like this, merit is merit, and fault is fault"

The people in the audience were talking a lot, and compared to before, the voices tending to take it lightly were much louder.

Facing another round of begging from Han Laosan and the other three, Zhu Pingan still resolutely shook his head again.

"A merit is a merit, a demerit is a demerit, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and the merits are not worth it! Your contribution belongs to the day before yesterday, and this official has already rewarded you: today, you left the military camp without permission, broke into the houses of the people, and raped the women of the people. The capital crime forgiven should be beheaded according to the military discipline of our Zhejiang Army, and should also be hanged according to the "Daming Law"! If pardoned, how to face the two victims in Zhuangjia Village, how to face the majority of fathers and villagers, and how to educate the [-] soldiers of the Zhejiang Army I'm a law-abiding soldier?! You are to blame for the death penalty today! There is absolutely no reason to spare your life!" Zhu Pingan said slowly with no expression on his face.

"Come here, take Han Laosan, Liu Gouzi and Zhang Tiedan down, and behead them for public display, which is a typical example!"

After speaking, Zhu Pingan waved to the audience and ordered.

"My lord, spare me, spare me!" Han Laosan and the other three kowtowed harder to beg for mercy, their foreheads were bleeding profusely.

"Ah?! You insisted on killing them?!" All the common people opened their mouths in shock.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ping'an didn't bend the law for personal gain at all!
incredible!

What a surprise!Shocking!
"My lord!" Ruofeng couldn't bear it any longer at this time, Han Laosan and Zhang Tiedan were bandits in his cottage, how could they just sit back and watch them be executed, so he jumped out of the crowd, jumped onto the high platform, and knelt on the ground. The ground said, "My lord, Han Laosan and the others have committed a capital crime. According to our military discipline, they really deserve to die. But my lord, they have made meritorious service and shed blood. The Japanese plague is getting worse and worse. It is time to employ people. If you kill them, you will be killed." I have lost three Japanese killing forces, I beg my lord to suspend the execution, tell them to go to the battlefield, take their sins and kill the Japanese pirates, atone for their sins, let their last drop of blood flow on the battlefield of killing Japanese, please my lord."

"I beg my lord to let them go to the battlefield, kill the Japanese to atone for their sins, until they shed their last drop of blood on the battlefield"

Zhang Hu also jumped onto the high platform, and together with Ruofeng interceded for Liu Gouzi and others, because Liu Gouzi was from their cottage.

Han Laosan and the three of them also shouted desperately, "Please, my lord, if we must die, we are willing to die on the battlefield with the enemy Japanese pirates. We must take the lead and rush to the forefront. We are willing to die on the battlefield of killing Japanese Shang Liu drained the last drop of blood in his body to atone for his sins, please forgive me."

Zhu Pingan was unmoved, shook his head vigorously, and said solemnly and earnestly, "It is not difficult to make laws in the affairs of the world, but it is difficult to enforce the law. Everyone is equal before the military discipline law, and the law must be followed, and the law must be strictly enforced." , Violators must be prosecuted, there are no exceptions in the implementation of the military discipline law, no secret doors are left, and no windows are opened! All soldiers of the Zhejiang Army, you must take Han Laosan, Liu Gouzi, and Zhang Tiedan as a lesson, and strictly abide by military discipline and state laws in the future. You want to test the bottom line of military discipline and state law with your own wealth and life!"

"Come here, take them down and behead them for public display, it's a typical example!" After speaking, Zhu Pingan waved again.

Seeing this scene, Lao Lizheng couldn't bear it anymore. He coughed and said, "My lord, Xiu'er and the others were ruined by them. If two of them are willing to take responsibility and marry Xiu'er and the others , from now on, treat Xiu'er and the others well, we can withdraw the case and spare them one."

Hearing this, Xiu'er and the other two victims in the audience changed their complexions drastically, and tears burst out of their eyes.

Make up your mind, if this is the case, they will be killed on the spot.

"Old man Zhuang is not going to say such things anymore! If, according to your words, after raping a commoner girl, a woman is born, isn't this rewarding the bad guys and encouraging the rape of the commoner woman?! In this way, isn't it rape? Frequent?! How unreasonable!!!" Zhu Pingan stopped and rejected Zhuang Lao Lizheng without hesitation.

"Who dares to persuade again, just like this case!!" After Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, he drew his sword coldly and chopped off the corner of the table!
The scene of the public trial was suddenly quiet.

"Put it on, and behead it for public display, it's a typical example!" Zhu Pingan said expressionlessly.

Immediately, Liu Mu came up with the soldiers from the surveillance battalion, and took the crying and struggling Han Laosan down.

Soon, the three screams stopped abruptly!

The villagers hastily covered the children's eyes.
"Zhejiang Army, the military discipline is strict, it does not show favoritism, does not bend the law, and is just and selfless. It is really amazing!"

"Lord Zhu, you are strict in running the army, and you are admirable for your five-body projection."

"This is the disciple soldier."

The crowd was shocked and filled with emotion, and looked at Zhu Ping'an and Zhe Jun with respect in their eyes.
