Chapter 653 Identification of the head

"slow".

Zhu Ping'an's slow words were not loud, but the tone of the irony was exceptionally eye-catching, easily catching everyone's ears.

The corners of Zhao Daying's raised mouth withered away in an instant.

Wang Xueyi in the courtroom heard the slow words, and subconsciously looked at Yan Shifan in the auditorium, lest it was this master who yelled again. Wang Xueyi heaved a sigh of relief when he found that the corners of the master's mouth did not turn up.

Next, Wang Xueyi discovered that the source of the voice was Zhu Pingan standing under the courtroom.

"Zhu Ping'an, what do you mean? Are you dissatisfied with the adults?"

Zhao Daying saw that Zhu Pingan called to stop the guards, so he couldn't help questioning Zhu Pingan loudly, and by the way, he gave Zhu Pingan a hat of being dissatisfied with the court ruling.

"no."

Zhu Ping'an cherished words like gold, and said no with a smile on the corner of his lips.

Laugh again!

Zhu Ping'an's smile was extremely dazzling in Zhao Daying's eyes, and he was inexplicably irritable, and wanted to kick him in the face a few times!

"No? Then why did you stop your lord's order?" Zhao Daying sneered, insisting on Zhu Pingan's attempt to stop Wang Xueyi's order, and used the situation to suppress others.

Zhu Pingan looked at Zhao Daying and smiled slightly, ignored him, then turned around and bowed to the chief judge of the court, stood up and explained, "My lord, please calm down, and my lord, please pass on Liu Mu, Liu Dadao, Liu Dachui and the other six are here to testify, if they are imprisoned, how can they testify. Please think again, sir."

"Testimony?" Wang Xueyi shook his head when he heard the words, and laughed endlessly, "What qualifications do they have to testify? The church has already said it just now. If they are not at the scene, they have not seen it, and they have not heard it, what qualifications do they have to testify. Such teasing of the hall, Wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous not to go to prison to make an example of others."

"That's right, they are not even at the scene, so what qualifications do they have to testify. If they can testify, then I will also apply to testify. I testify that Mr. Zhao has meritorious service in killing the enemy, and he did not kill the good and pretend to be meritorious."

"That's right, Zhu Ping'an is young, but he's a master at telling nonsense with his eyes open."

"We are not convinced that we have perjured witnesses, mocked the court, and refused to put them in jail."

"Yes, we are not convinced."

Officials under the court, led by military attache Zhao Daying, and his group began to boo, attack Zhu Ping'an, put pressure on the court, and urged the court to put all the witnesses called by Zhu Pingan into prison. If it succeeds, then Zhu Ping'an will be defeated this time, even without witnesses, what else can he do.

In their view, their appeal could not be more reasonable.

Think about it, how clearly Mr. Wang said in the courtroom, Liu Dadao and the others are not at the scene, what proof do they have? ! Do you hear your sleep talk? ! Isn't this funny? This is clearly ignoring the seriousness of the court, so it should be sent to prison and punished for perjury and false accusation.

"Hehe, my lord is joking. If you are not at the scene and have not heard or seen it, can you not testify?"

Zhu Ping'an heard the words, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he shook his head with a smile.

what

What?

Zhu Ping'an, are you stupid? How can they testify if they are not at the scene? Think we are stupid? !

Everyone in the courtroom looked at Zhu Ping'an and couldn't help shaking their heads, thinking that Zhu Ping'an's words were too childish.

"Zhu Pingan, do you know what you are talking about? Do you have common sense? How can you testify if you are not there?"

A military officer stood up in the courtroom, looked at Zhu Pingan contemptuously like an idiot, and asked.

"Zhu Ping'an, how can they testify if they are not at the scene?" The presiding judge Wang Xueyi shook his head and asked back with a sneer.

See how you explain? !

Master Zhao and the others stared at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes, waiting to see Zhu Pingan's jokes.

"Your Excellency has just confirmed their identities. Liu Mu, Liu Dadao, and Liu Dachui are from the Liujia Village at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, which is the village that was victimized when the lower officials impeached Zhao Daying for killing good people. It is true that they did not I was not at the scene, and I did not witness or hear about Zhao Daying's murder. However, the leaders of Zhao Daying's request for credit that day were all villagers in Liujia Village, that is, Liu Dadao's family members and the elders of the villagers. I invite Liu Mu, Liu Da Dao and the six of them came here to determine whether the leader Zhao Daying contributed that day was a member of the Liu Family Village or not?"

"So whether Liu Mu, Liu Dadao, and the others are at the scene, whether they have heard or seen it, will not affect their testimony."

Zhu Pingan stood at the bottom of the hall and explained in a deep voice. His eyes were sharp, neither humble nor overbearing. The hot noon sun shone on him, reflecting his righteousness. Although he was not tall, he gave people a kind of strength overlooking the world.

no wonder

It turned out that the head was to be verified!

In the courtroom, the presiding judge Wan Gong and Wang Gao looked at each other, exchanged silently, and nodded slowly.

Indeed, regardless of whether Liu Mu and the others are present, their identities as members of Liujia Village will not change. This point has been verified from their road guides and household registration yellow books when their identities have just been verified. There are only so few people in a village. Since they are from Liujia Village, they can naturally recognize the head of Liujia Village.

"Hehehe, verified the head? It has been more than half a year since the official captured the head and turned it in. What kind of head can be kept for half a year?"

Zhao Daying scoffed at the words.

"That's right, half a year has passed, and it's already rotten."

"The human head is not a precious thing. You can either bury it or burn it. Who will keep it as a treasure for you?"

"Can you still admit your bones?"

All the military officers in the hall also laughed.

Faced with the ridicule from Zhao Daying and the military officer, Zhu Ping'an's face remained unchanged, with his hands behind his back, he said slowly word by word: "Article 117, Chapter 3 of the "Armament Regulations": Military achievements must be based on beheading. There is factual evidence, and it is not allowed to be indiscriminate. There are no real records of the first and other extraordinary achievements, and it is easy to deceive, so anyone who captures the enemy and repays the merit must use the head to judge the merit. To offer the head, it should be marinated with grass ash and lime It will be stored by the Ministry of War for more than a year, and it will be burned and buried in the autumn of the following year when it is reported to the temple.

"The "Rewards" issued by the Holy Majesty also stipulates that the first level will be rewarded for merit."

"In addition, I have also checked the reward document of Mr. Zhao last year. There is a record on it. The fifty-nine heads that Mr. Zhao donated last year were sealed in the Armory Division of the Ministry of War. The Armory Division of the Ministry of War is only a hundred steps away from the Ministry of Punishment. You can walk back and forth in the time of a cup of tea. It doesn't take much time to get the head.

Zhu Ping'an quoted scriptures, and what he said was well-founded. According to the regulations, there are document records. The head that Zhao Daying contributed last year is still sealed in the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War.

What?

Hearing this, Zhao Daying was stunned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and his two eyebrows were also knuckles and locked together.
