Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Chapter 366 Public Trial

Bai Ziye was really cowed. He begged for mercy again and again: "My lord, the county magistrate, I know the crime, I know the crime! But my Bai family has absolutely no connections with foreign countries to connect with big money, so please forgive me, the county magistrate."

Jia Huan said, "Please tell me carefully."

Bai Ziye said hurriedly: "The county magistrate said that the Cao and Song families want to unite with my Bai family, secretly destroy the entire family of eight aristocratic families, and set fire to their entire families. They even want to massacre tens of thousands of people. To bring down the county magistrate."

"This matter is indeed true, but I only agreed to it in vain. I have no intention of colluding with them. I hope you will learn from it!"

After hearing this, countless people were furious and wished they could eat the flesh of Cao and Song family masters and drink their blood.

The people from other aristocratic families watching secretly were all frightened and angry.

They never expected that the Cao, Bai, and Song families would be so despicable, shameless, and vicious!

On the surface, they were urged to resist the new law, but secretly they had the evil idea of ​​destroying eight of them.

Fortunately, their conspiracy was discovered by the county magistrate.

Otherwise, their family might be secretly extinguished and burned to ashes in a fire, and they might not even be able to react and die with their eyes open.

These three families really deserve to be killed!
Of course, what frightened them even more was the Dukes Gonggun above the court.

These old men are really too cruel and ruthless.

They really do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

At this time, I only heard Bai Ziye continue to say: "Sir, my Bai family has no internal connections with foreign countries. I have colluded with Da Jin in order to rebel, sir! Please make a clear decision!"

Jia Huan said in a deep voice: "On the day I took office, I was assassinated by Dajin soldiers. Yesterday, the homes of three of your families were searched, and weapons of Dajin soldiers were confiscated from Cao's house."

"And in your Bai family, banned weapons such as armor, weapons, and crossbows were also copied. You three families are in the same boat. The facts are all there, and everyone has taken the stolen goods. How can you dare to deny it now?"

Hearing this, Bai Ziye quickly said loudly: "Sir, my Bai family has been wronged! All the armor and weapons of my Bai family were sold to me by the Cao family."

"I am willing to testify against the Cao family and the Song family. The two families secretly collaborated to secretly make armors, crossbows and other prohibited weapons. I know where their workshops are! I am willing to testify against them!"

Hearing this, Jia Huan's face lit up and he hurriedly said: "Okay, give him a pen and paper and let him write it out."

Sure enough, it was a very wise choice for me to use Bai Ziye as a breakthrough point.

Because the Bai family is not deeply involved, and Bai Ziye is timid and afraid of death, this is the best breakthrough point.

Sure enough, being frightened by his nine truths and one falsehood, he couldn't stand the pressure and gave up everything.

He also testified against the workshops of Cao and Song.

With this evidence, it will be difficult for the Cao and Song families to turn around.

For Cao An and Song Wen, Jia Huan was not prepared to put them on trial.

Both of them are officials and know the interrogation system very well.

Trying to deal with the two of them the same way as Bai Ziye would definitely not work.

Furthermore, these two people must know that as long as they do not confess, their family may still have a way out.

And once the two of them confess, there will be no way for the two families to survive.

In this case, how could they confess?

Therefore, Jia Huan was not prepared to put the two of them on trial from the beginning.To deal with them, Jia Huan prepared to use other methods.

Next, two guards walked up to Bai Ziye with pens and papers and untied the rope from his hands.

Bai Ziye rubbed his wrist, then raised his pen to write down an address.

The two officers were about to tie up Bai Ziye again, when Jia Huan waved his hand and said, "There is no need to tie him up. The head of the Bai family understands the righteousness, so there is no need to tie him up anymore."

Bai Ziye was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "I would like to thank the county magistrate for your kindness."

Next, Jia Huan sent a team of officers to pick up the person according to the address written by Bai Ziye.

Snapped!
Jia Huan slapped the crowd and said: "The Bai family's possession of prohibited armor, crossbows and weapons is tantamount to conspiracy, and everyone should be executed." "Because Bai Ziye, the head of the Bai family, reported meritorious service, he will be exempted from execution." For the crime, he will be temporarily put aside and will be tried again at another day."

Bai Ziye was overjoyed when he heard the result of Jia Huan's trial.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Little old man, thank you for your kindness! Little old man, thank you for your kindness! Your kindness will be unforgettable by everyone in the Bai family!"

Jia Huan waved his hand, and a guard immediately took Bai Ziye aside.

The Bai family's case has come to an end for the time being, but Bai Ziye can't leave just yet. After all, he is now a tainted witness.

Snapped!
Jia Huan clapped the gavel again, and then shouted: "Come here, bring Cao An and Song Wen to the court!"

Several officers were preparing to take the two people to the court.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Suddenly, several willow darts were shot out from the crowd, hitting Cao An and Song Wen in the throat.

The two men were hit in the throat and fell to the ground immediately, blood spurting out, and their legs kicked up.

I saw that the two of them were breathing more out and less breathing in, and they were dying before their eyes.

The two assassins quickly squeezed out of the crowd, climbed up the wall of the nearby house in a few steps, and jumped into his home.

A burst of dog barking followed, and the two men soon disappeared.

"Protect adults!"

Mo Da and others quickly protected Jia Huan.

Jia Huan was furious and sent people to capture the assassin.

There was also a commotion at the scene.

However, thanks to someone secretly maintaining the situation, despite the chaos, there was no stampede or injury.

Cao An and Song Wen died at the hands of assassins without trial.

Obviously, these two people must know some secret.

Some people did not want these two men to stand trial for fear that they would reveal some secrets.

And precisely because of this, it only further confirmed the ambition of their two families.

In a rage, Jia Huan directly ordered that all the direct male members of the Cao and Song families be beheaded at Caishikou in public!
After giving the order, the adult male members of the Cao and Song families were quickly escorted to Caishikou.

Next, Jia Huan gave an order, and hundreds of heads rolled to the ground.

The blood of the direct killings flowed into rivers, and the sun and the moon lost their light.

The pungent smell of blood also frightened the onlookers around, making their legs tremble and their hearts trembling with fear.

Next, the women and children of the two families, as well as the Bai family, were all imprisoned in the county jail.

The public trial ended successfully.

As for the remaining members of the three families, there is no need for a public trial.

The case trial ended successfully, and Jia Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

The deaths of Cao An and Song Wen were actually assassinated by the Mohist disciples sent by Jia Huan.

Unless these two people die, some of his methods will not be able to be used.

Likewise, they cannot be tried publicly, and they will definitely not recruit.

In this case, let them die before the public trial.

In this way, others will only think that the person behind the two people must have killed them to prevent them from leaking the secret.

Instead of doubting Jia Huan.
