Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 483 Zhu Di Public Trial
"Hmph, who committed the crime! It's just a miserable person who was polluted by the laws of the country!" Zheng Shili couldn't help snorting coldly in front of the people when he saw Zhu Di escorting many criminals in the blank printing case.

Then he actually stood up, and in front of the people, he explained the reasons for the empty seal case and the contents of his memorial in a concise and clear manner, and finally shouted: "This is the old system that has been established since the Yuan Dynasty." ! It’s not a heinous crime!”

"Isn't it too humiliating for His Highness to push them into the downtown area?"

After being preempted by him, the common people immediately had a preconceived impression, and many people whispered to each other, feeling sympathetic to those prisoners.

"Just because of a blank piece of paper, being arrested and having your family destroyed? It's too much..."

"So, those people with the shackles on the stage are all officials? My good boy! What are the origins of this Highness and these military masters, so ruthless?"

"You don't know those clothes? Those are Jin Yiwei. When Prime Minister Hu fell a few days ago, these people made trouble everywhere in the city, so they robbed them directly..."

"Hiss, it turned out to be Jin Yiwei! It was the one who was said to have fallen into their hands, who would be skinned even if he was not dead, and who could stop children from crying at night..."

The common people whispered to each other, and soon, everyone looked at Zhu Di and Jin Yiwei with weird eyes.

Zhu Di glanced at the self-satisfied Zheng Shili with a half-smile in his eyes.This Wen Sheng was able to stir up such a big public opinion, and he really had some kung fu.He turned his head to look at the struggling official kneeling first on the left, asked someone to pull out the cloth stuffed in his mouth, walked up to him and asked, "Zhao Quande, why are you struggling like this?" Could it be that, as Zheng Sheng said, he was wronged?"

"Yes, yes, Fourth Highness, I am wronged, I am wronged!" The official named Zhao Quande was able to speak out, and immediately shouted for injustice. "Your Highness, the next official works hard for Daming, there is an eighty-year-old mother on the lower official, and there is a baby waiting to be fed..."

"Your Highness is clear, and the folks are clear, the officials are wronged, the officials are really wronged!" As he said, he kowtowed to Zhu Di and the people in the audience.

How could Zhu Di not know his shameless intentions?It's just that they thought that things had turned around, so they deliberately shouted for grievances in order to incite the people and get away with it.Manipulating the common people is a compulsory skill for these civil servants. Seeing what he said was so miserable, the common people really fell in love with him.They all felt that it was a bit too violent to punish a large group of people for a blank sheet of paper that was customary.

"You are here now, calling for injustice?" Zhu Di lifted the hem of his clothes, squatted in front of Zhao Quande, looked directly at Zhao Quande, and the trace of playfulness in his eyes just now gradually faded away.

He turned his back to Zheng Shili. Zheng Shili didn't know what happened, but he was surprised to see that Zhao Quande, who was still shouting and kowtowing, gradually dared not move under the gaze of the Fourth Highness.

At this moment, Zhao Quande looked into the eyes of this supposedly ugly boy, and felt the fear deep in his heart gushing out.Originally, he was still putting on a show with some joy and pride, but now he dared not move at all.

Zhao Quande swallowed hard, at this moment, he felt that what was in front of him was...

……emperor.

"There may still be grievances in the world, but you, Zhao Quande, will not be blamed for your death!" Zhu Di said coldly.He got up and stopped looking at Zhao Quande, but shouted to Jin Yiwei: "Come on, call the old man of the Liu family!"

After a while, an old man in ragged clothes was helped here by Jin Yiwei tremblingly.The old man seemed to be still ignorant. Seeing this battle, he was still looking left and right timidly, but when he saw Zhao Quande kneeling on the stage, he let out an "ah" and his pale face turned red. Wanting to break free from Jin Yiwei, he rushed directly to the stage.

"Traitor! You are here! Old man... old man fought with you!"

As he said that, under Zhu Di's secret signal, the old man really broke free from Jin Yiwei, and rushed forward to punch and kick Zhao Quande.

The onlookers were dumbfounded, and Zheng Shili was also stunned. What's going on?Which street is this old beggar?The Fourth Highness asked him to come, and what was he going to do?
"This person is the old beggar Liu Laohan in the land temple in the east of the city. The one kneeling is Zhao Quande, the former head of the procuratorate." Zhu Di, in the background sound of Liu old man beating Zhao Quande, Shi Shi ran down the stage. I spoke. "I believe that some of you also know that this old man Liu is also a wealthy family outside Yingtian City."

As soon as he said this, someone below responded, "That's true. That old man Liu also had a few acres of Susukida in his family. In the fourth year of Hongwu, he was also elected as the head of grain."

"Speaking of it, big and small are officials too!"

When he said this, he thought of the prestige of those food chiefs in his own village, and looked at the old beggar above who was crying bitterly while punching Zhao Quande's head and face, and the curiosity of the onlookers was completely aroused.The common people couldn't care less about showing sympathy for the officials, and someone urged them to ask: "Your Highness, what happened to this old man Liu? How could he be reduced to such a state?"

"And why do you hate this inspector surnamed Zhao so much?"

"It all starts with a grain delivery," Zhu Di said. "In the fifth year of Hongwu, old man Liu escorted a batch of tax and grain to the household department for delivery according to the system. However, he encountered trouble during the delivery. The household bureau official who delivered the delivery asked him for bribes. When the bribe failed, he accused him of being greedy for tax and grain. "

"Old man Liu was not convinced, and immediately quarreled with the official of the household department. At that time, Zhao Quande came out to judge the case. The result of the judgment was that the old man Liu was indeed embezzling taxes and grains. , to serve as an example to others."

"And the so-called conclusive evidence... is the empty-printed official document that the scholar mentioned just now, 'it's a convention' and 'making a big deal out of a molehill'!"

Zhu Di pointed at Zheng Shili and shouted angrily.

Zheng Shili was stunned, he never imagined that a blank official document could be involved in the problem of corruption of ink when a grain chief escorted the tax grain.The common people are also at a loss, not knowing why.At this moment, only the old man Liu who was beating Zhao Quande was crying loudly, and said sternly: "The physical evidence... what physical evidence..."

"At that time, the household official took out a blank document in front of the old man and Zhao Quande, and wrote down that the old man should have transported [-] shi of grain..."

"Thirty thousand shi! The old man's family transported food for the imperial court, and the whole village's annual tax and grain sales have not exceeded [-] shi!"

"The extra [-] stones are all counted as the old man's greed for ink... The sky is clear, the sky is clear! How can anyone write a document on the spot, which can be used as evidence of confiscating the house and going to prison!"

"Unfortunately, this Zhao Quande took the document and said that the printing was correct and that he was indeed corrupt. He smiled and took the old man to jail."

"Together with the household official, they swallowed up the land and property of the old man's family and the villagers!"

"The old man's family escaped the plunder of the Mongols and the tyranny of the former Yuan Dynasty, but they did not escape this group of goddamn corrupt officials!"

"God damn corrupt officials!"

The old beggar looked up to the sky and cried loudly.
