Chapter 241 Confused Official Confused Case (Part 1)

"You are loyal." After a day of trial, Robben joined the army was exhausted. He heard that Fan Shutong was so rogue, and immediately became furious. "Come on, drag me down and beat thirty boards first."

"Yes." The yamen runners rushed forward like wolves, pressed Fan Shutong, took off his pants, and beat him hard. In a short while, they beat the suspect to the point of being so shattered and howling.

However, although the fight was tragic, Fan Shutong was not beaten to death. After a while, he was finished with the thirty boards and was stolen by the yamen runners again.

"Master Qingtian." He held the ground with both hands and wiped his tears. "Since he became a disciple, Fan has never thought he could live safely until he was old. But if he died under your knife, Fan would still be wronged even if he became a ghost. The reason why Fan assisted Zhang Mingjian wholeheartedly was that he felt that he was very capable and would be better than continuing to follow the Mongolian Yuan court and continue to help the evildoers. As for the evil deeds he did, Fan did not participate at all. With Fan's identity at that time, he would definitely not be able to stop it."

"Then have you stopped me? Even if you ask for love for the elders of Yangzhou, it will be counted." Robben, a military officer, slapped the arbor and asked loudly.

"No, I didn't dare at that time." Guangming's right envoy Fan Shutong wiped his tears and lowered his head to admit, "If the villain stopped him, he might have been cut by him, and then he would cut off his retreat to join Hongscarves. He would either go to Luzhou to chase Timuer Buhua's uncle and nephew immediately, or cross the river directly to harm the people in the south."

"So, you have saved millions of people in Jiangnan." Luo Ben's nose was almost pissed, and he raised the gavel and prepared to ask someone to press Fan Shutong down and beat him up.

Fan Shutong was frightened and waved his hand quickly and cried loudly, "Don't dare, don't dare, the villain dare not take credit. The villain just said that the villain was gentle at that time and would not have any effect on persuasion. It would be better to save his life and wait for the future to try to lead Zhang Mingjian to the right path, so that he would also raise an army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty and expel the Tartars. The little one, the little one, had a shallow knowledge and only understood these things. If the little one had heard the teachings of General Manager Zhu, he would only hate the evil things the Mongols did, rather than targeting the Mongolians. The little one, the little one, would never have any idea to pull Zhang Mingjian into the Red Turban Army."

After a lot of trouble, Robben really made him unable to do anything. In fact, if everyone in the Red Turban Army, including Robben, was a fanatical nationalist at this moment, who only thought that they were not my race, and their hearts would be different. They only wanted to expel the Mongols from the Central Plains and restore the Han family. As for whether it was a crime to kill their own people after expelling the Mongols, it was really not time to think about it carefully.

"The Master said, if you don't teach, you will be punished, and you will be punished in a lot of ways and evil will not be defeated; if you don't teach, you will be punished by the traitor." Fan Shutong walked through the world in his early years, and was only a good mouth. At this moment, when he saw Roben being surrounded by himself, he immediately kowtowed heavily and added loudly, "The crime of a villain is that he cannot distinguish right from wrong. As for harming innocent people, he absolutely dare not. The villain did not understand it at first, so he made a huge mistake, but the villain was unintentional. If he didn't even have a chance to repent, the villain would die with his eyes closed."

While crying, he also looked around with his eyes. He found that there was not much hatred in the eyes of the people around him. He continued to boldly add, "If the adult insists on the villain's death, please give the villain a knife, let the villain kill him across the river and die at the hands of the Tartars. The villain is determined to expel the Tartars in this life. Even if he is penetrated by thousands of arrows, it will be better than dying under his own sword. Woo, woo, woo."

After saying that, a burst of sadness came from my heart, lying on the ground, wailing loudly.

Roben, who joined the army, was very hesitant about whether to execute him. At this moment, after hearing his ambition of "will rather die at the hands of the Tartars", he felt sad in his heart. He sighed and said with a tough bullet, "The big mistake has been done, it's too late for you to cry. Come and help him aside first and wait for the verdict."

Then, he turned his eyes to the jury of the jury, and said loudly, "As Zhang Mingjian's aide, Fan Shutong did not stop his evil deeds. Afterwards, he tried every means to make him escape punishment. Therefore, the official thought that he had committed two serious crimes. First, he was accused of a tiger and condoned the rebel soldiers and murdered and set fire. Second, he covered up Zhang Mingjian and tried to clear his crimes. What do you think?"

"Not true." Before he finished speaking, a Su Lao, named Wu, immediately stood up and said indignantly, "Master Qingtian, according to reason, you vent your anger for our Yangzhou people. We should speak for you, but we cannot watch you make the wrong case and damage the title of General Manager Zhu. Although the surname Fan did not distinguish between right and wrong, he followed Zhang Mingjian all the way to the darkness, but he was indeed not dereliction of duty. Zhang Mingjian took him out of prison just to use him. Whether he spoke or not that day, the result was the same."

"Yes, sir, you should repay the kindness of someone who is a drop of water. Zhang Mingjian saved his life. He naturally tried his best to save Zhang Mingjian. This is human nature. If you have to punish Zhang Mingjian because he has always been with him, then wouldn't you tell the world that loyalty to serve the master is a crime? Then, who dares to do his best to work for General Zhu? Which store dares to hire a friend, and which official dares to hire a master? When everyone sees the lord in trouble, they all run away. Anyway, it is wrong to stay. Why bother yourself?" Another old man named Liu stood up and said angrily.

"Yes, sir, since ancient times, the two countries have fought with each other and only killed the king, not harmed loyalty and kindness. Our Huaian Army is a benevolent and righteous army, and we cannot do things in a vague way."

"Not that. Although the man surnamed Fan is confused, he is a loyal and righteous man. Killing him will really damage the reputation of our Huaian Army."

"Yes, since ancient times, everyone respects loyal ministers and filial sons. If an adult wants to kill him, it can be said that in order to fulfill his loyalty and righteousness, he sent him to the Nine Springs to accompany Zhang Mingjian, but he should not give him any guilt such as dereliction of duty."

A group of old men had a good family background and had read many books, citing scriptures and making Robben speechless in the army, including the onlookers. Most of them also felt that Fan Shutong was a little confused, and they turned their heads and whispered, "According to Mr. Wu, this surnamed Fan has become a good person. Why do I feel so awkward to hear it?"

"A good person won't be, but he won't die." The person next to him shook his head and frowned. "After all, Zhang Mingjian saved his life, so he has to repay him. If he sold Zhang Mingjian, I think Mr. Luo should have killed him."

"Yes, he is like the guy hired by Zhang Mingjian. No matter how bad the boss is, it is not his turn to betray him." The people around him shook their heads gently.

Yangzhou City is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the canal. Goods from north to south are gathered here and then sent to the whole country by water. Therefore, most people in Yangzhou make a living by doing business or making various agile things. They believe in a classical business culture, which emphasizes the credibility between merchants and the absolute loyalty of their partners to their employers. Therefore, in the eyes of most of them, Fan Shutong, the right envoy of Guangming, contacted Liu Futong for Zhang Mingjian, and tried to help the latter escape punishment. Although it was hateful, it was also extremely respectable. After all, as a former boss and workshop owner, no one wanted to take the blame when they encountered trouble, and no one was willing to stay and share the hardships with them.

The judgment of all Yangzhou people was surprisingly consistent at this moment. Several old men gave up their grudges and defended Fan Shutong with verbal confusion. Although the people below could not let their voices be heard by the judge, they clearly expressed their attitude in their eyes. Even the yamen runners who were temporarily recruited secretly greeted each other with their eyes, preparing to say hello to each other if the judge was angry and angry, and would teach Fan Shutong a lesson again, they would show mercy together, and would not beat the person to death under his own stick.

The presiding judge Robben had seen such a situation, but in desperation, he had to respect the choices of the old men and denied the two charges he raised one by one. Then, relying on the prestige accumulated by his assiding officer on the day, he re-deemed Fan Shutong a misdemeanor of "being confused and rude in front of General Manager Zhu". Although the jury of the old men and sons still wanted to reject it, they considered that they wanted to save face for Zhu Bashiyi, and reluctantly allowed him to pass.

In this way, Fan Shutong only needs to move bricks in the ruins for three months before he can continue to cheat under the banner of the right envoy of Guangming. Tang He and others were furious, spitting on the ground, and muttering in a low voice: "These old fools dare to be the flagpole if they give them a hair. Then Fan Shutong is not a loyal and righteous person. If he was really loyal and righteous, he should have been willing to die. Why bother yelling at him that he was wronged? It is obvious that he could not speculate. He repelled his old fortune, and finally he was regarded as a treasure by these fools and gained a good reputation in vain."

"Those old guys are not confused at all, but are afraid of offending the Ming Cult and attracting revenge from Liu Futong." Zhu Chongba's eyes were cold and he said with a mouth curled, "The Mongols have always treated the places occupied by the Red Turban Army as enemy territory, so those old men don't have to consider pleasing the Mongols. It's useless to please the Mongols. If the court's troops come back, they will still slaughter the city, but Liu Futong is different. After all, they are the president of the Red Turban World. If they convict Fan Shutong today and Liu Futong comes again one day, General Manager Zhu is incompetent, wouldn't they give Liu Futong an explanation? So, simply, they will not offend from the beginning. Anyway, they have to take a lot of General Manager Zhu and will not care about this little thing."

"It turns out that this trick is hidden." Tang He suddenly realized and was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Zhu Chongba seemed to be able to see through everything with his eyes. He smiled and said in a low voice, "Look, there are still many such confusing things in the future. Our Chief Zhu, I don't know where we came from. We used to create those magical weapons and weapons. We are definitely first-class. We use it to govern the country and the family. Sooner or later, we must have a big misunderstanding."

"Here, brother, where did you say this?" Tang He highly praised Zhu Bashiyi in his heart and immediately frowned and asked.

"Hehe." Zhu Chongba smiled, his face full of mystery, "If you don't believe it, let's take a look if you don't believe it. Have you ever heard of it? Many times, this saint and a madman are actually only half a step away."

"Madman." This time, it was not just Tang He who didn't understand. Deng Yu and Wu brothers all turned their faces and frowned. Zhu Chongba did not explain to everyone. He smiled and turned his eyes to the trial scene again. "Don't talk anymore. Looking at the trial of Wu, the surprise thing is still behind."

"What's the matter?" Tang He, Deng Yu, Wu brothers and others raised their heads and paid attention to the movements in the trial scene again. Another civil servant from the former Yangzhou City was taken in and was questioned by the presiding judge Robben.

The official was named Liu and Wencai. He was originally a sixth-rank prosecutor who was in charge of the entire Yangzhou Road sued for suing the plaintiff. After eating the plaintiff and the defendant, he gained countless benefits. After the Yangzhou City was destroyed by the fire, he took his family and slaves and ran away with Zhang Mingjian. As a result, he suffered a series of defeats. His family was separated and his ill-gotten wealth was lost. He became a prisoner of the Huaian Army, and he was beaten up and had nothing.

"It's unfair." Robben, the military officer, had just asked the criminal's name. Before he could ask about what this person did on the day Yangzhou was destroyed, there were already a shout of injustice among the onlookers. Then, seven or eight men and women with dirty faces rushed into the stadium, kneeling on the ground, shouting in a lingering voice, "Master Qingtian, you must make the decision for the villain. This Liu Paiwei has caused the grass-roots to be a tragic person."

"What's going on? Stop and talk one by one." Robben, the army, did not expect that there would be such an incident. He gently knocked the table with a gavel and whispered orders.

"I'll first." "I'll first." "I'll first cry for justice, I'll first." Several wronged people immediately started fighting, and no one was willing to stay behind.

Robben joined the army and had no choice but to slap the table with a gavel and shout, "Don't fight, come one by one, that grandma, you are old, you first."

"Master Qingtian, it's unfair." The old woman who complained immediately cried and lay on the ground, accusing loudly, "My son was a boat for the salt merchant Mr. Liu. He agreed to give me six hangs of wages a year, taking care of a piece of clothing and two pairs of cloth shoes. At the end of last year, Mr. Liu was named for the fact that the waterway was blocked and the business was difficult. He sent him a hang of copper coins. My son was dissatisfied and had a dispute with his family's manager. His family's manager and his family beat me, my miserable son, and then pushed it into the canal, drowned alive."

"You, don't swear." Among the jury, Mr. Liu, named Liu, jumped up and retorted loudly, "Your son obviously lost money after gambling, dared not go home, jumped into the river and died. How could he rely on my manager? You don't use cotton to spin it. Who doesn't know that my Liu family treats the servants the most kind."

"Renhou, shit." The old woman cried and cursed, "My son never gambled, how could he lose all his wages? Sir, you can make the decision for the old woman. The old woman went to Jiangdu County Government to file a complaint on the same day, and she took over the lawsuit. Later, Liu Tuiguan sent his subordinates to the yamen with his famous post. Even if my miserable son died in vain, no one would care about this matter anymore. He left me alone and had no place to repay his grievances. Woo, woo, woo."
