MTL - Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention-Chapter 17 condemnation
Chapter 17 Conviction
Zhang Beichen had expected this kind of thing to happen a long time ago. If he tried to stop these thousands of people now, he might be hacked to death, just like the previous county magistrate.
"It should be here soon." Zhang Beichen looked towards the horizon and saw a row of black shadows approaching rapidly.
It was a cavalry squad, headed by a general in black armor, riding a horned monster, galloping across the field like flying.
General Hei Jia arrived first, holding a long spear and shooting towards an open space.
I saw the spear passing by like a shooting star, and then hit the ground fiercely!
"Boom!" Like a thunderclap, a huge deep pit was smashed out on the ground, and earth and rocks splashed.
General Heijia had arrived at this time, and he shouted at the crowd: "Heijia army Che Yang is here, who dares to act presumptuously?"
His voice released a wave of anger, and people without cultivation could not stand still, backed up or fell to the ground!
Taking advantage of this time, the cavalry behind have also arrived and separated the armed fighters.
The fighters knew very well that no matter how fiercely they fought, they were not qualified to fight against the army, so they watched them on guard.
"Which one is Mr. Zhang?" The black-armored general Che Yang looked at everyone.
"It's me." Zhang Beichen stood up and cupped his hands to Che Yang: "Thank you, General, for your help!"
"It doesn't matter." Che Yang jumped off the beast and said, "Why are there so many people fighting with weapons today?"
There are too many people gathered here. If they are not stopped in time, it might turn into a riot!
"The problem of grabbing water, I will solve it." Zhang Beichen said.
"Yes." Che Yang asked people to continue to suppress him, but these people still refused to retreat. Obviously, if Che Yang's men leave, they will continue to fight.
Bai Liangpu and Yang Shan seemed to have anticipated the development of the matter long ago, they were not in a hurry, and just waited in place to see how Zhang Beichen would handle it.
So many people died, and so many people participated in the fighting, according to the "Grass Cultivation Order" issued by Zhang Beichen, thousands of people will be punished!
Can thousands of people be fined at one time, and it must not trigger civil uprisings?
The custom of the Qin State is that the law does not punish the public. If there is no punishment, Zhang Beichen's "Grass Cultivation Order" will be useless, and he will also face the backlash of the national destiny!
Even if Zhang Beichen manages to get away with it, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, the fighting will continue to happen!
At that time, Zhang Beichen will not be a county magistrate. According to the Qin law, it is also a capital offense to rule a great chaos!
Bai Liangpu, Bai Liangju, and Yang Shan were all waiting to watch the show, but the two parties separated by the cavalry were still scolding each other and had no intention of giving up.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Beichen is in trouble. Even if I go to this matter, it will not be easy to handle." In the distance, the two were looking at this side.
It was Ying Yiren and Jing Ping. Today, Ying Yiren was patrolling the barracks when he met Zhang Beichen and asked Che Yang to come over and help.
Hearing that there was a turmoil, Ying Yiren also came to check.
Ying Yiren thought about it for a while, and then knew the scheme of the Bai family and the Yang family. The two families deliberately indulged the people below and caused them to fight.
If Zhang Beichen insisted and was beaten to death in the chaos, they could just find someone to take the blame. To ignore it is a crime of poor governance.
Even now, Zhang Beichen is already very calm, let Che Yang lead the cavalry to sit in the town, the situation is still difficult. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of being "broken"!
"These guys, **** it!" Ying Yiren's eyes were cold, and he looked at Bai Liangpu and the others, with a hint of murderous intent in his tone!
Jing Ping was startled. He knew very well that although Ying Yiren was a woman, she served as a Hussar General before she ascended the throne and fought many times on the battlefield. Her killing intent was not fake.
"Your Majesty values Zhang Beichen more than I imagined!" Jing Ping also became more and more curious, why?
Zhang Beichen walked among the crowd and scolded: "This county has promulgated a decree prohibiting private fighting and fighting with weapons. You know that you have violated the law, so what should you do?"
"They did it first!"
"It's none of my business, I'm just joining in the fun!"
"Come on, arrest me, thousands of people, you arrest them all! It just so happens that there is no rice at home, does the county government manage food?"
"The law does not blame the public, everyone, don't be afraid!" Some people in the crowd shouted loudly.
Che Yang felt embarrassed, whether to release or arrest now.
Zhang Beichen looked at Che Yang and said, "General Che Yang, please help arrest them all. Those who dare to resist will be regarded as resisting the law and will be killed without mercy!"
Che Yang hesitated for a moment, and ordered his subordinates, "Catch them all."
Zhang Beichen shouted to everyone at the same time: "Listen, everyone, you have broken the law, but there are differences in severity. Now the county wants you to be arrested without a fight, otherwise you will be regarded as a thug and beheaded on the spot."
"The severity of the crime, this county will give you a clear trial!"
The soldiers started to arrest people, and some people wanted to escape, so Zhang Beichen directly sacrificed French in gold letters.
When the word "punishment" fell on that person, he couldn't move.
This is one of the functions of Zhang Beichen's "Reward and Punishment Order".
There were still people who wanted to take the opportunity to cause chaos, Zhang Beichen did not hesitate at all, turned his spiritual power into a golden knife, and beheaded them!
Seeing that the young county magistrate really dared to kill people, the fighters calmed down a bit, tied their hands with ropes, and squatted together.
"Master Zhang, are you planning to execute these people?" Bai Liangpu questioned, "They are all the people under your rule. If you are incompetent when fighting with weapons, how can you blame them?"
"How do you punish them? I hope you will settle them here today, otherwise, I don't think everyone will agree with you to take them away!"
Bai Liangpu said, a group of people came from a distance, including martial arts, old, weak, sick and disabled.
As soon as they arrived, someone threatened and shouted: "Let them go!"
Some people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "My lord, my husband didn't do anything! Please let him go!"
"My lord, my son was cheated, he is not guilty!"
"My lord, if you take my grandson away, we will have no one to support our family, we can only wait to die!"
They stopped in front of Zhang Beichen. It was obvious that Bai Liangpu and others had been prepared and would not allow Zhang Beichen to take these people back to the county government to deal with. Zhang Beichen can arrest those who break the law, but the people in front of him have not broken the law, can Zhang Beichen still arrest them?
Seeing this, Zhang Beichen said loudly: "Everyone, I know that some of these people are your family members and friends. It's only natural for you to worry about them."
"Among them, some of them knew the law and violated the law, and some of them were deluded and committed negligence. In this case, the county will have a public trial here today, and I will give you an explanation!"
"Ada, legislative field!" Zhang Beichen ordered.
"Yes!" A group of guards immediately surrounded an open space, and all the prisoners were detained around the open space, with soldiers guarding the side.
Thousands of eyes are all looking at Zhang Beichen. Once he has any unfair law enforcement, the scene will definitely turn into a riot!
Zhang Beichen stood in the middle, looked at the criminals like torches, and said loudly: "The first to be judged is the repeat offender. What is a repeat offender? Those who lead the fight, those who instigate the fight, and those who kill in the fight! The above prisoners, come out!"
After he finished speaking, none of the thousands of prisoners stood up. It was so chaotic just now, who knows who it is?
Seeing this, Zhang Beichen once again sacrificed the "Grass Cultivation Order" blessed by his national destiny. This time, he used the ability effect of his golden skin [Martyrdom], using his own energy and spiritual power as a sacrifice, directly The spell effect is tripled.
"Felony, come out and accept the crime!" Zhang Beichen yelled again, his voice had a shocking effect, and immediately some people were unsteady, their legs became weak, and they fell to their knees.
At the same time, clusters of light appeared on the "Grass Cultivation Order" and flew towards everyone. Until a ball of light appeared above everyone's head, some were light, some were dark, and some were pure black.
Zhang Beichen's complexion was a little pale, which was due to excessive consumption. He hurriedly ordered: "Classify according to black, gray, and light colors. Black is a serious offender, gray is an ordinary prisoner, and light color is a minor offender."
"Yes!" The guards and soldiers classified the criminals, and the light lasted less than ten seconds before disappearing. In just these ten seconds, Zhang Beichen felt like he had been up for three days and three nights without sleep, exhausted.
The felons were brought before Zhang Beichen, a total of 21 people, including organized fighters and murderers.
They knelt in front of Zhang Beichen with a look of dissatisfaction. Zhang Beichen discovered that they were all very old, some even had gray hair, and they were all grandpas.
He was wondering, when Liu Wen next to him changed his face, and whispered in Zhang Beichen's ear; "My lord, there is trouble again, these people cannot be killed!"
