Yang Guang turned his head and shouted to the villagers outside: "Who among you can recognize the appearance of the bandit soldiers? Have you? Hurry up, Mr. Shi is waiting for an answer?"

Among the dozens of villagers, a woman in her thirties hesitated for a moment, mustered up her courage, came out and knelt in front of Zhao Junsheng: "I want to tell you, the lady remembers the story of the husband who killed the lady and the thief general who raped the lady." His appearance, even if he turns into a gray woman, he can still recognize him!"

"Then are you willing to come forward and testify?"

"Women are willing!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Very good! You just get up and wait in the witness room next door, and you are not allowed to leave without authorization!"

"Yes, envoy!"

While we're talking, the new gatekeeper

The soldiers walked in and clasped their fists to report: "General Qi, Army Sima Wei Chi Yandong is waiting outside the gate of the mansion!"

"Let him in!" Zhao Junsheng raised his hand.

After a while, Yuchi Yandong strode in and bowed to Zhao Junsheng: "The last general pays his respects to the envoy!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Yandong, General He Duoluo, the leader of the Central Army, said that some of his soldiers were arrested by patrols last night for staying outside the barracks drunk. If they didn't do anything wrong, you can order them to be released. There is no reason to keep people detained!"

Yu Chi Yandong turned his head to look at He Duoluo, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Master, there are indeed quite a few people who were arrested for staying outside the barracks late at night because they were drunk, but these people have been released this morning!"

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he said to He Duoluo: "Look, General He Duoluo, your people have already been sent back. If there is nothing else, I will not send you back. This place is still busy!"

He Duoluo frowned and said, "That's not right, if they were put back this morning, why didn't I see them when I gathered troops and horses to count the number of people just now?"

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "It's time to ask them themselves, maybe they are running into the city to drink at this time! So, if the general wants to find someone, he should look elsewhere."

He Duoluo turned to look at Yuchi Yandong: "General Yuchi, you won't fool this general, right? You must know that this general is not easy to fool. If you hold them back but deliberately hide it from this general, this general will not follow them." You are willing to rest!"

"The last general has already said that all those who stayed outside the barracks because of drunkenness last night have been released this morning! But if the general is not looking for someone who was arrested for being drunk, but for other reasons, the leader of the army There are still 32 officers and soldiers in custody!"

He Duoluo hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, there are people who are missing a tooth in my army, and the 32 people must be them! General Yuchi, go to the camp and release the people, I will be with you Take them back in the past and discipline them strictly!"

Yuchi Yandong looked up at Zhao Junsheng, Zhao Junsheng said: "What do you think this general is doing? If these people have not committed any crimes, they will be released. If you don't let them go, you still have to take care of their families!"

Yuchi Yandong cupped his fists and said, "Master, can't these people be let go?"

"Why?" Zhao Junsheng and He Duoluo asked at the same time, He Duoluo's tone was full of anger.

"General, last night a patrol team came across this one-toothed soldier about a mile away from the barracks. They were driving cattle and sheep, and even captured six little girls. The patrol team immediately asked them to put down their weapons and get off their horses for inspection, but These people refused to be inspected as required, and tried to confront the patrol until the leader of the patrol blew his whistle and attracted a whole building, and they gave in."

He Duoluo hurriedly said to Zhao Junsheng: "General Zhao, this must be a misunderstanding. My subordinates will never dare to confront the patrol team. There must be a misunderstanding!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "There is no misunderstanding here. Where did the people under your command arrest the six little girls? Where did the cattle, sheep and animals they drive come from? They refused the patrol team's request and returned to the patrol team. Confrontation, just this one, I can't let you go! General He Duoluo, it's not that I won't give you face, if I give you face, the millions of people in Youzhou will not give me face, Youzhou Army The soldiers will not give this general any face; if this general orders the release of the people and does not let the victimized people make decisions, and does not let the Youzhou Army officers and soldiers make decisions, what qualifications does this general have to be their governor of Youzhou? What else? Qualified to lead the soldiers to fight?"

He Duoluo's face turned blue and white one after another, which was very ugly. He said coldly angrily: "Okay, since General Zhao is unwilling to give this general this face, I will not force him, but I, He Duoluo, will never look at my hand. Brother Xia has been wronged, if you bend the law for selfishness and beat yourself up, I will definitely not let you go, so I will leave!"

After He Duoluo finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

Zhao Junsheng called out to him: "Wait a minute! General He Duoluo, I happen to have a case here that may be related to your soldiers! Yangjiawan, 22 miles outside the city, was attacked by a group of soldiers last night. Looting, eleven villagers were killed, [-] women were raped, six young girls were kidnapped, nine houses were burned, and all the property and livestock in the village were looted. Now I would suspect that this matter has something to do with you

It's related to a soldier who was captured by the patrol, so you just left?Don't want to see how Ben will hear the case? "

He Duoluo really couldn't leave at this time, he turned around and came back, "Okay, I will see how General Zhao handles this case!"

The trial of the case continued, and the policeman who was sent to Yangjiawan to check the scene came back soon, and he reported to Zhao Junsheng: "General, my subordinates went to Yangjiawan to check the scene, asked the villagers who stayed behind, and talked with the plaintiff. It's pretty much the same!"

Zhao Junsheng told Yuchi Yandong: "Go and bring all the captured Yiya soldiers over!"

"As ordered!"

Two quarters later, Yuchi Yandong brought 32 criminals into the hall with a cavalry soldier, and one of them saw He Duoluo shouting: "General, help, help..."

Just as He Duoluo was about to speak, Zhao Junsheng slapped the gavel: "Quiet, no matter how loud the criminals are, they will serve you with palms of their mouths!"

The hall was quiet.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "The plaintiff, Yang Guang, among the 32 people, is there the perpetrator in Yangjiawan last night?"

Yang Guang took a look, pointed at the three people in a row and said, "My lord, the villain knows these three people, and they were among the perpetrators last night!"

At this time, the villagers outside the hall shouted one after another, and the 32 generals were all identified one by one.

Zhao Junsheng called out the women who were waiting in the witness room and asked her to identify them. She recognized one of them at a glance, pointed to him and said, "Master, that's him. He is the husband and wife who killed the women. People who rape women!"

Zhao Junsheng shouted and asked the other party: "What is your last name? What is your official position?"

"Back to the general, the humble name is Wu Yanluo, who is the leader of the third building and the seventh Yaya. General, the humble and others are wronged, the matter of Yangjiawan was not done by the humble, please also check it out!"

Chapter 481

The plaintiff, Yang Guang, and the villagers of Yangjiawan immediately quit. They didn't have the guts to challenge the military. If it was the past, they could only swallow their blood and tears, but now they see that the governor, Zhao Junsheng, can support them. The attitude was tough again, and each of them became more courageous.

"My lord, it was they who did it. Everyone in the village can testify that it was these bastards who entered the village last night to burn, kill and loot. These beasts would not spare even a three-year-old child. They are devoid of conscience. Please! Let me make the decision for the grassroots!" Yang Guang, the plaintiff, cried out and knelt down.

Dozens of Yangjiawan villagers knelt down and cried out in mourning: "Please make the king avenge the wronged Yangjiawan villagers!"

A large number of city residents gathered outside the government office to watch the excitement, such a scene had never happened before.

A merchant shook his head and sighed: "If the matter was done by the Xianbei soldiers and generals, I'm afraid the case will not go on. Who dares to punish them? They have knives and guns in their hands. Wouldn't it be impatient to punish them?" gone?"

"Yes, although Shijun is a good official, he is a Han Chinese after all. How dare Han Chinese dare to challenge Xianbei high-ranking officials and generals these days? If you want to punish them, they will behead you first. I'm afraid there will be no justice for human life!" Another shopkeeper of a nearby shop echoed.

A young student said: "From Xiaosheng's point of view, it may not be obvious. Since he took office, Mr. Zhao has been tough in his administration and has not feared the powerful. If these decrees continue to be implemented one by one, there will be great governance in Youzhou! Xiaosheng listen It is said that the governor's office has sent people to all armies to announce that they are not allowed to loot the village and harm the people, and those who violate it will be dealt with severely. How to gain a foothold in Youzhou?"

The onlookers didn't quite believe it, so they had to wait for the trial of the case to continue.

I saw Zhao Junsheng asking Wu Yanluo: "Wu Yanluo, the tooth master, dozens of villagers in Yangjiawan personally identified that you brought your soldiers into Yangjiawan last night to burn, kill and loot. What do you have to say? It can be said! And this village woman, Mrs. Fang, also accused you in court of killing her husband and raping her, you won’t even deny this, will you?”

Wu Yanluo couldn't help looking at He Duoluo, and saw He Duoluo kept winking at him, signaling that he would kill him and refuse to admit it.

"Master, it's true that the humble officer and his brothers did not do this. Maybe these villagers were bribed to deliberately frame the humble officer and his brothers? Please check it out!"

The villagers were extremely sad and angry, pointing at Wu Yanluo and others and yelling at him, accusing him of talking nonsense.

"Crack!" Zhao Junsheng picked up the gavel and slapped it, and shouted at the villagers: "Plaintiffs, witnesses and others are not allowed to make noise in the courtroom. You will not be allowed to speak, so you can't speak without authorization. All those who make noise and clamor should be blasted out!"

The villagers were reprimanded by Zhao Junsheng, and they also knew that it was not right for everyone to talk about it. If they were thrown out, the envoy would not uphold justice for them, so they dared not make any more noise.

Zhao Junsheng stared at Wu Yanluo and asked, "Wu Yanluo, you are so brave, can you be convicted?"

"My lord, I am wronged by my humble position, I don't know what crime I have committed?" Wu Yanluo immediately groaned.

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the plaintiff, witnesses and the villagers kneeling outside the hall and said: "You said that they might have been bribed to deliberately frame you and your brothers, but their parents, brothers, wives and children were killed, and their houses were destroyed. Burned, daughter was taken away, money was robbed, this is a mortal hatred, will they not think of revenge but take benefits from others to frame you? Are you deceiving this general as a three-year-old child? Come on, Hit him with twenty sticks, if you dare to deliberately mislead the general's judgment again, you will be punished twice!"

Several yamen servants came forward to hold Wu Yanluo down and was about to execute, He Duoluo immediately shouted: "Wait a minute!"
