Chapter 237 Internal strife (Part 1)

"Withlessness, the crime will be wronged." Zhang Mingjian immediately shouted injustice without any worries. "The crime will not know the consequences and attempt to be a chariot by the mantis arm, and compete with General Zhu in front of the formation, but the crime will never be done in this murder and arson."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a shouting sound around him, "Steel him, cut this inhuman dog thief."

"Sliced ​​into pieces, cut this dog thief into pieces."

"Stew him, cut him, cut him into pieces."

When the onlookers saw Zhang Mingjian pushing, he was furious and screamed and smashed the bricks and tiles in his hand at the man. Although most of the soldiers who maintained order were cut off with shields, there were still seven or eight fish that had escaped the net, and they smashed Zhang Mingjian to hold his head and dodge him.

"Silent! Silent." Robben, the military officer, picked up the gavel and slapped on the table. "How is it so roaring in the court? Whoever dares to throw bricks around will give him a squat out of the city. No entry into the city until the case is tried today."

"Wei,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Robben joined the army sighed, looked around, and said in a fury: "Zhang Mingjian, you are a famous person for many years. Since you have done it, you must dare to take it. Why force me to make some embarrassing scenes so that everyone can't calm down."

"Withless, sin will be wronged." Zhang Mingjian's desire to survive was immediately disregarded. "That afternoon, the sinner did indeed order people to close the city gate and then send their brothers to the wealthy families in the city to raise military funds. He thought that with money and food, his subordinates would not harm the people. Unexpectedly, after the sun set, suddenly, the defeated soldiers and hooligans took the opportunity to make trouble. The sinners suppressed the bullets several times but did not suppress them. They were afraid that the people under their command would also be defeated, so they had to abandon Yangzhou City."

"Stop." Unexpectedly, Zhang Mingjian was so rogue. Robben joined the army and slapped the auspicious tree and interrupted loudly, "You are the chief general of Yangzhou Road, and the entire city is all under your command."

"The position of the general was bought at noon that day. Even the officials and generals under his command were not recognized. The ones that could be transferred were only the more than 6,000 people in the direct line. Others were nominally punished and controlled by the generals. In fact, no one listened to the generals. If the generals did not make a quick decision and withdrew from Yangzhou, if they were not dealt with properly, they would have to be killed by the soldiers."

"Fart!" "Lie." "Shameless." "Not bad." "Another cursing." Even the old men in the jury could not bear it anymore. They stood up tremblingly, pointed at Zhang Mingjian's nose and cried and scolded: "You, you shameless dog thief, you dare to say that you didn't participate. At that time, who was the first, who sent his personal soldiers to block my husband's house. The door of my husband's house must be asked, and I must hand over 100,000 guan of cash and 500 shi of rice before I could let my husband's family go."

"Zhang Mingjian, you can't deny the blood debts of my family forty."

"Zhang Mingjian, if you dare not admit it, what are you?"

In a blink of an eye, inside and outside the trial venue, there was a mess. Zhang Mingjian also gave up everything in order to survive, stamped his feet a few times, and shouted loudly, "My surname is Wu, you still have the face to say to me, my people borrowed money and food from your family, but after my people took the money, they did not enter your house. But you, feared that you would suffer only by yourself, told my brother that the Liu family opposite the house is in the jewelry business and make money every day."

"You bastard named Wu, I'm fighting with you." Before he finished speaking, an old man in his sixties had already rushed to another seventy-year-old man and punched and kicked him.

The beaten old man Wu knew that he was inappropriate. He covered his face with his hands and shouted loudly, "You, don't listen to his instigation. At that time, I didn't say that at that time, I was just, I was just."

"I don't listen, I don't listen. My surname is Wu, I will never finish it with you."

"Silent, quiet, quiet." Robben joined the army, and the gavel was almost cracked, and he could not control the order. Liu Ziyun, who was still responsible for leading troops to maintain order, had experience. He grabbed a whip from his confidant and slapped a few whip flowers in the air. "Ba, bha, shut up. Whoever gives shamelessness will give me a shit to death first."

He was once an extra-staff yamen runner in Xuzhou Prefecture. He had already had a skill in bullying the common people. Since the uprising, he led his brothers to fight and fight, and accumulated a very strong murderous aura on his body. After a few whips, he immediately calmed the jury first. Then he slapped the few "slap" and shocked the people outside the field to the silence.

"Unforgive, unjust." Old Man Liu in the jury did not dare to fight with Old Man Wu again, sobbing and shouting for justice, "Master Qingtian, the villain wants to sue this guy named Wu, colludes with bandits, killing more than 70 people from my Liu family. I pity my little grandson, who is only seven months old and was only seven months old, was robbed by the soldiers, and fell alive."

"Don't cry. After the trial of Zhang Mingjian, I will accept your complaint!" Luo Ben, the army member, also felt that Old Man Liu's experience was pitiful, and glared at Old Man Wu fiercely and persuaded him softly.

"Unforgive." Old Man Wu jumped up immediately, rushed to Zhang Mingjian, and knelt down with a "thump". "Sir, the little one is wronged, it is this thief Zhang. Zhang's subordinates forced the villain with a knife and asked the villain to point out. Which family around him has more money? The little one was scared at the time, just."

"Bang." Robben slapped the gavel hard and interrupted his defense, "You can sit back and continue to be your jury. As for other matters, Zhang Mingjian will talk about it after the trial."

"Yes, yes." Old Man Wu did not dare to refuse, stood up tremblingly, walked towards the jury position. Robben joined the army sighed again, raised his sleeves to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, and emphasized loudly, "From now on, no one is allowed to talk about things that have nothing to do with Zhang Mingjian. Unless you want to let him escape from the law, I will sit honestly. I will ask other cases in the future."

"Yes." The jury members agreed in unison, and then several parties were distanced from each other and threw their eyes at each other as knives.

"Zhang Mingjian, you are sure that the murder and setting fire have nothing to do with you." Robben turned his eyes to the prisoner again and asked loudly.

"The sin will only stop it, and the sin will not kill people at all, nor will he instruct his men to kill and set fire." Zhang Mingjian took everything out and gritted his teeth and held on to the end.

"Okay, then you stand aside." Robben glanced at him contempt, shouted a loud order, and then slapped the gavel again, "Bang, come, take the first witness in this case to the court."

"My lord has an order, I will rob the first witness in this case." "My lord has an order, I will rob the first witness in this case." "My lord has an order, I will rob the first witness in this case." The yamen runners also wiped their sweat, opened their voices professionally, and shouted over and over again.

It is the first time they have seen a yamen runner who has been a yamen runner in this way of trialing a case like this. With personal experience, it would be strange if they can find a clear case.

While secretly complaining in my heart, I heard a sound of chains dragging. Then, several soldiers slowly walked into the trial venue with a square-faced man.

"Yu Darui, why are you here too?" Zhang Mingjian was shocked when he saw this person and asked instinctively. He remembered that he had sent this person to take his personal soldiers as bait to attract the attention of the Huai'an army. Logically, this person should have died in the battlefield long ago, but he didn't expect that he would be a prisoner like him in the end.

The square-faced man Yu Darui was unwilling to look at him, so he spitted bloody spit on the ground and gritted his teeth, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yu is not dead, isn't he disappointed the general manager? How dare Yu die? Mr. Zhang is not dead, how dare Yu die in front of Mr. Zhang."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Mingjian was scolded so much that his ears were hot and he asked angrily.

The commander of the thousand-man Yu Darui spat on the ground again, then raised his hands and saluted the presiding officer, "If you want to ask, just ask what the Lord wants to ask, just to save the You and your brothers these days, Yu should know everything, and say everything!"

"Okay." Robben, the army officer, nodded and ordered with a kind look, "You can tell the story of Yangzhou being destroyed by the chaos at that time, just tell the truth, and you don't need to blame anyone."

"Yes." Yu Darui made a move again and responded loudly, "On the same day, the two Mongolian princes appointed Zhang Wanhu as the general manager of Yangzhou Road, but did not leave any food or military pay for our Qing army. In order to buy this position, General Manager Zhang also sent two Mongolian princes a large sum of money. He felt that he had suffered a loss, so he summoned us to discuss and said that Yangzhou City could not be defended by any means. It would be better to take the opportunity to get a vote and find another supporter. Then, he ordered the Sin Jiang and several other commanders to close the city gates on land and on water first. Then, he took people out separately and blocked the wealthy families in the city first, forced them to pay the money and grain from house to house, and asked them to report to each other. Whoever has more money, whoever may still have the capital to recover."

He hated Zhang Mingjian to push everyone out to die in vain, but he ran away secretly. Yu Darui shook the whole story of the day like a bamboo tube pouring beans. After other rioters and gangsters participated, they killed people and set fires everywhere. Zhang Mingjian's reason for refusing to stop them was also truthfully explained, "At that time, Xiao Qiu, the commander of the thousand-time men who died in battle, said that if this continues, the entire Yangzhou will be destroyed. We are all sinners throughout the ages, but General Manager Zhang said that it would be better to destroy it. After it is destroyed, the Huai'an army will fight in vain. Not only will it not get a penny from Yangzhou City, but they will also be burdened by the victims and have no strength to attack Luzhou again."

"Scissed him, cut him, cut him, cut him, cut him, cut him." "Scissed him, cut him, cut him, cut him." The shouts of killing sounded again, and the people held bricks and tiles and squeezed forward desperately, hoping to smash Zhang Mingjian into meat sauce immediately.

Seeing this, Liu Ziyun quickly ordered the brothers who maintained order to mount the shield wall and stand firm against the crowd, not allowing them to continue approaching. Finally, they calmed down the anger around them, but heard Zhang Mingjian shouting loudly, "Injustice, sin will be wronged. The first person named Yu wanted to continue to lead the team to join the Mongolians, but sin did not listen to him, so he hated sin in his heart, and then he deliberately punished sin to death."

"Shut up." Robben, the army member, stood up in anger, pointed at Zhang Mingjian's nose and cursed, "Take a look of humanity. After all, you are a hero who has been famous for many years, don't even have any face."

After cursing, he ordered someone to take Yu Darui down and bring another witness.

The second person who was brought into the venue was a personal soldier of Zhang Mingjian. After coming up, he shouted loudly before Robben asked, "Master Qingtian, the little trick, the little one, the little one, the little one led two hundred brothers that day and was ordered to block the home of a big salt merchant. General Manager Zhang said that they wanted their family to pay 300,000 stag of copper coins, or equivalent gold and silver, and jewelry. The family could not get all the money. The little one ordered the brothers to rush in, first kill all the guards of his family, and then killed his family one by one, forcing him to hand over all the valuable things, as well as the gold and silver in the silver cellar. Then General Manager Zhang sent someone to tell the little one that this family is so rich, afraid of trouble in the future. The little one and the little one made up their minds for a moment, killing nearly a hundred old and young people, and then set a fire to clean the house."

"I told you to do this dog thief who is asking for glory on your back, did I ask you to do it?" Zhang Mingjian was furious and rushed over and beat him.

The personal soldier did not dodge or dodge, and let him beat him a few times, and then continued to admit it, "Since the young man did that thing, he couldn't sleep well every day. The young man knew that he would be Baoying sooner or later. The younger brothers had already been beaten by Baoying on the battlefield. The young man deserved to die, but if this guy was still alive, the young man would die with his eyes open."

"You, you a dog thief who sells the owner and seeks honor, I have delicious food and drink every day to support you. You, you dare to betray me." He was held by two servants, Zhang Mingjian was still swaying like crazy.

"It was the general who sold me and I'll wait first." The personal soldier leader looked at Zhang Mingjian coldly and retorted disdainfully, "It's my duty to wait for the general to die on the battlefield, but the general refused to let me die clearly. While asking me to fight to the east to fight a bloody road to cover your breakthrough, he turned around and fled to the north. So many brothers died with their eyes closed. If the villain did not drag you on, the villain would not be able to live in peace even if he became a ghost."

Zhang Mingjian was trembling in his heart when he was seen by the other party's cold eyes. He turned his head and emphasized loudly to the presiding judge Robben, "He, he wronged me, he blamed me for not escaping at the last minute, and wanted to take me to die together."

"You stand aside first, and I will pass on other witnesses." Knowing that Zhang Mingjian didn't cry until he saw the coffin, Robben joined the army again took a photo of the gavel and announced loudly, "Take witnesses Yelu Qi, Han Zhong, Xiao Xiangui, and Park Zheyuan together."

"Take witnesses Yelu Qi, Han Zhong, Xiao Xiangui, Park Zheyuan." "Take witnesses Yelu Qi, Han Zhong, Xiao Xiangui, Park Zheyuan." "Take witnesses Yelu Qi, Han Zhong, Xiao Xiangui, Park Zheyuan."

Amid the professional shouts of the yamen runners, several Khitan and Goryeo soldiers were taken to the trial site at the same time, and they were dejected and distracted. When Robben ordered them to tell the truth about what happened in Yangzhou that day, they rushed to admit it, "Sir, we deserve to die, but at that time, the Qing army took the lead in killing people and setting fires. When we saw that no one was in charge of this matter, our eyes turned red and we burned and killed them together."
