Chapter 665 Continue to continue
Continue to continue.
Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, and looked at Zhao Daying fearlessly. The eyes of the two were like two sharp arrows. When they met on a narrow road, they collided with sparks in mid-air, and suddenly a murderous aura filled the courtroom. .
"Please ask the court to bring water, the amount of water should be enough to completely submerge the heads, and I will verify the authenticity of the remaining heads for you adults." Zhu Ping'an clapped his hands to the chief judge, and asked the court to cooperate.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even though Wang Xueyi refused a hundred times in his heart, he still ordered the officers of the Ministry of Punishment to go to the backyard to fetch water.
Soon, the yamen's fireproof bronze water tank was carried over by the guards, and two large tanks with a height of half a person were placed in the courtroom, filled with water.
Use water to verify whether the head is tartar?
How to verify this? Zhu Ping'an is not joking. Could it be that the heads of the Tatars will float on the water, or that the heads of my Ming people will float on the water? Otherwise how to verify.
Is it reliable?
Curious, everyone stood up from the auditorium, wanting to see how Zhu Pingan used water to verify the head.
"excuse me."
Zhu Pingan bowed his hands to the head on the wooden board and said he was offended, and then asked Wu Zuo to sweep the remaining heads off the limestone powder and put them all in the water tank.
Plop
Plop
Wu Zuo and the guards brushed the remaining forty heads with the raw stone powder with a brush, and put them all into the water tank according to Zhu Ping'an's instructions.
At this time, the bold officials gathered around curiously, and looked in the water tank to see if the heads would float up in a differentiated manner as they thought.
However, they were disappointed. All the heads sank to the bottom of the water, and none of them floated up.
If Zhu Pingan knew what they were thinking, he would definitely be speechless. This is a matter of density. If it is a whole person, there will be air in the lungs, and the human body will be slightly lighter than water. If you can swim, adjust your breathing and move your hands and feet to float. Get up; but if it is only a human head, it will surely sink.
"Master Zhu, this head has sunk, so how can we tell?"
Many officials raised doubts. In their opinion, Zhu Pingan put all the heads in the water, without distinguishing whether the heads belonged to the Tatars or the people of Ming Dynasty. Because these heads are all the same in the water, they all sink to the bottom, there is no difference.
Zhao Daying and others also watched with cold eyes. They didn't believe that Zhu Ping'an could tell whether the head was a Tatar by putting it in the water.
Of course, the most important point is that they are very clear about the source of these heads, that is, the Tatar heads who contributed to the frontier army.
They just swapped the Tatar head that the frontier army offered with the head that Zhao Daying had offered.
Replacement if fake.
True gold is not afraid of fire, this is the law of heaven since ancient times, Zhao Daying and the others don't believe that Zhu Ping'an can turn black and white.
"My lords, please wait a moment."
Zhu Pingan stood calmly in front of the water tank, looked at the head in the water tank, half explaining and half narrating.
"What's the matter, Mr. Zhu, wait a little longer, will the leader be able to speak?" Zhao Daying crossed his arms, sneered and taunted.
The head can speak?
Zhao Daying's ridicule caused everyone to burst into laughter.
However
To Zhao Daying's surprise, after he finished taunting him, Zhu Ping'an turned his gaze over and looked at him burningly. After about two seconds, Zhu Ping'an nodded seriously and replied, "Yes." ".
Fuck
Eyeballs dropped in surprise.
How could the first level speak, everyone shook their heads unavoidably, burst into laughter, especially Zhao Daying and others were extremely mocking.
At this moment, you are smiling so happily, I hope you can still laugh half an hour later.
Zhu Pingan glanced at Zhao Daying, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips. He could guess Zhao Daying's confidence. Just now, when Zhao Daying was whispering to his uncle, Zhu Pingan also read some information from his lips.
Really confident.
The Tatar head offered by the frontier army
Ha ha
Zhu Pingan smiled slightly with the corners of his lips hooked, and then put his eyes on the water tank. The head had been soaked in it for more than ten minutes, and the remaining stone powder had been dissolved in the water, and the face could be seen more clearly. The hair also gradually spread out, slowly like clumps of black water plants blooming in the water tank.
Um
Following this trend, it doesn't take half an hour.
During the half-hour wait, the presiding judge Wang Xueyi urged Zhu Pingan twice, Zhao Daying and others sneered three times, and the officials in the auditorium were already impatient, and some people complained from time to time.
When everyone's patience was about to be exhausted, half an hour passed.
"Zhu Ping'an, everyone has been playing with you for half an hour, how long will your farce continue?" Zhao Daying mocked again.
"Well, they have spoken."
Zhu Ping'an withdrew his gaze from the water tank, landed on Zhao Daying, and nodded slightly.
Is it ready?
Everyone cheered up when they heard the words, and surrounded them curiously again. They don't believe that the first level can speak, but everyone has curiosity.
"Hahaha, Zhu Ping'an, are you looking for me to be happy? Where did this head speak? Why can't I hear it? Tell me, what did this head say?" Zhao Daying laughed , with a mocking look on his face.
Head opening?
Think with your ass, this is all impossible! Everyone is not a child anymore, how could they believe Zhu Ping'an's stupid statement. Zhao Daying ridiculed, full of confidence.
"They are saying that we are not Tatar barbarians, we are the people of Ming Dynasty, the descendants of Yan and Huang." Zhu Pingan nodded and said solemnly.
Hahaha.
Zhao Daying and others burst into laughter upon hearing this. Ridiculous, Zhu Pingan, you really treat everyone like children!
Everyone shook their heads and laughed wryly when they heard the words.
"Lord Zhu, there is no child's play in the courtroom." The presiding judge Wang Xueyi sneered.
"Ping'an is no joke. Please look, my lords, these heads have indeed spoken." Zhu Ping'an shook his head with the corners of his lips curled up. Pull the sleeves with one hand to prevent the sleeves from falling into the water.
Um?
Everyone put their eyes into the water, most of them were puzzled.
However, some people saw the clues. Xu Jie nodded and gave Zhu Pingan an approving look. This petition should be over.
After Yan Shifan swept across the head, his face became gloomy, and then he glanced at Zhu Pingan again, the light in his one-eyed eyes flashed away.
"My lords, please look at the hair of these heads. The traces on them are already very clear. Are you familiar with them? This is the trace left by the people of Ming Dynasty who use net towels to tie their hair all the year round. What they said is engraved on this net towel." There are traces."
"Since the imperial decree issued by the Taizu in the early years of Hongwu, the people of Ming Dynasty, regardless of high or low, have been wearing net scarves from the noble officials to the students and officials. Over the years, there are net scarves left on their hair. But the Tatars are not like that. The Tatars are barbarians and do not accept education. They have shaved and braided their hair since they were young. They have never worn a net scarf. There is absolutely no possibility that there will be traces of the net scarf on their hair.
"So, judging from the traces of this net towel, these heads must be my Ming people, not the Tatars as Zhao Daying said."
Shocking!
Every word of Zhu Ping'an touched everyone's heartstrings, like a thunderbolt, it exploded in the courtroom, shaking everyone awake.
