"What Zhu Ping'an said is completely far-fetched. I am wrongly accused."
Even though the evidence was irrefutable, and even though Zhu Ping'an confirmed one by one that the heads were not Tatar heads, Zhao Daying was unwilling to give up. He refused to acknowledge Zhu Ping'an's identification method, and was even more secretive about the matter of killing innocent people and taking credit for it.
"Haha, to borrow what Zhao Daying just said to me, now it's irrefutable evidence, you still want to deny it?"
Zhu Ping'an glanced at Zhao Daying, smiled disdainfully and said sarcastically.
really.
At this point, the truth of the case has basically been revealed. Everyone present has a clear idea of what happened. The facts and evidence are in front of them, and it is clear who is right and who is wrong. Many people did not expect this result.
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.
The courage of a newborn calf is commendable, but everyone knows the result: the calf will become a steak dinner for the tiger.
However today
A newborn calf actually defeated a fierce tiger. This seemed impossible, but it actually happened today.
The figure of the young man in the courtroom was not tall, but at this moment, people could not help but look up at him. It was like an illusion that the simple and ordinary boy was as dazzling as the sun at this moment... ...
Zhao Daying couldn't understand why such a good move ended up in such a dead end and could not accept this outcome.
At first, the scar on Zhao Daying's back won him a lot of praise.
However, he was slapped in the face by Zhu Ping'an in the next second, using a vivid example to prove that the scar on the back is a shame for soldiers, causing Zhao Daying to lose more than he gained and become a laughing stock in the room.
Next came the witnesses.
It was easily resolved by Zhao Daying. It was ridiculous that they were not at the scene and had not witnessed or heard the incident in person, yet they came to testify.
However, no one expected that Zhu Ping'an's purpose was to use this to lure out the head.
As for the first
Zhao Daying conspired with his uncle to replace the head, thinking that everything was fine now and was ready to watch Zhu Ping'an make a fool of himself.
However
This is the trend of being slapped in the face today.
Heads were taken one after another, and in the end, they were all confirmed by the little thief Zhu Ping'an to be not Tatars. Damn, this is a bummer, I never thought that the border troops were so rude, actually killing innocent people for credit.
In the court, there were sarcastic looks, pitying looks, helpless looks, helpless looks, and delighted looks... ... At this moment, they all felt like thorns in my back, unbearable, and I wished I could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Zhu Ping'an! If you don't give me a way to live, I won't let you live easily!
Zhao Daying was like a wolf trapped in a trap, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was pale. He looked at Zhu Ping'an with hatred, then took out a stack of documents from his arms, turned around and reported to the presiding judge in the court, exposing Zhu Ping'an's crimes of harboring and false accusations.
"Your Excellency, Zhu Ping'an colluded with witnesses to slander me. I have evidence to present. This is the local notice of Yunmeng County and the official documents and files written by the Yunmeng County Magistrate himself, proving that the six witnesses Liu Mu, Liu Dadao, and Liu Dadao, who were called by Zhu Ping'an, are fugitives from Yunmeng County. Zhu Ping'an took in, harbored, and shielded the fugitives, and also joined the fugitives in framing me. His crime is unforgivable. Please punish Zhu Ping'an severely in the court to serve as a warning to others."
After Zhao Daying submitted the written evidence to the court, he pointed at Zhu Ping'an and said viciously.
aggressive
Murderous
Hurting each other
It's a complete posture of destroying both the good and the bad.
"Zhu Ping'an, do you have anything else to say?" After reading the documents submitted by Zhao Daying, the presiding judge Wang Xueyi looked at Zhu Ping'an coldly and asked sternly.
"Oh, what? So Liu Mu and the others are fugitives?"
Zhu Pingan made a surprised expression, then shrugged his shoulders, perfunctorily cupped his hands, and replied indifferently, "This matter has only just been known to the authorities. Since ancient times, ignorance is not a crime. I did not know that Liu Mu and his men were fugitives, so naturally I could not be charged with harboring or shielding them."
"That's nonsense. The official documents and wanted notices have already been issued. You must know about it." Zhao Daying glared at Zhu Ping'an fiercely and scolded him.
"I wonder where this document came from and where the wanted notice was posted?" Zhu Ping'an looked at Zhao Daying calmly and asked lightly.
“This…” Zhao Daying stammered.
"According to the regulations of our Ming Dynasty, official documents should come from the Yunmeng County Magistrate and be sent to the Ministry of Justice. As for the wanted notice, it should be posted in the place of origin, and after being submitted to the relevant authorities, it can be posted in places where the fugitive may appear for a wanted search. I have verified that the Yunmeng County Magistrate has never informed Shuntian Prefecture, nor has he posted a wanted notice in the capital. Therefore, I was not actually aware of it, and theoretically there was no possibility of me knowing it." Zhu Ping'an looked calm.
"This is the Emperor's territory. I believe that the security in the capital is strict and no fugitives will be allowed to enter. Moreover, the capital is the best place in the Ming Dynasty. I was attacked and robbed. I was rescued by Liu Mu and other brave men. I should repay a drop of water with a spring, so I allowed Liu Mu and others to stay to repay their kindness."
"The Great Ming Code, the Law on Capturing and Killing a Person, clearly states that anyone who knowingly hides a criminal shall be punished for harboring a criminal. The premise of this provision is knowledge. Anyone who is aware that another person has committed a crime and deliberately harbors the criminal or guides him or her on the way and provides him or her with food, clothing, shelter and transportation while the government is chasing him or her shall be guilty of harboring a criminal. I was not aware of this, so I am not guilty of this."
Zhu Ping'an bowed and made his statement in the court. After finishing his statement, he glanced at Zhao Daying out of the corner of his eye, pulled the corners of his lips into an arc.
CAO!
This little thief was absolutely lying with open eyes this time. He must have known about it for a long time, but he cited a lot of evidence, presented facts and reasoned with them, and completely cleared himself of all charges!
Knowing that he knew everything, but unable to do anything about it! This made Zhao Daying so angry that he almost burned himself.
"Oh, by the way, speaking of Liu Mu and his men, I have something else to ask you gentlemen from the Ministry of War."
Zhu Pingan glanced at Zhao Daying and continued to state his case to the court: "I was kidnapped by gangsters yesterday. They said I was meddling in other people's business and threatened to break my legs. Fortunately, Liu Mu and his men came to my rescue and I was able to escape. After capturing the gangsters, I found that they were wearing my Ming Dynasty standard military shoes... I escorted the gangsters to the Shuntian government office yesterday to file a case and report it to the authorities, but unfortunately, they were killed this morning."
"However, although the person was killed, I have kept the military shoes. The military equipment of our Ming Dynasty is well-known for its strict quality control, and it is required to indicate the maker's mark in relevant places so as to investigate the responsibility. These shoes also have marks. I would like to ask the officials of the Ministry of War to follow the map and find out which army this batch of shoes was distributed to. Based on this, we can find out the real culprit and make the decision for me."
It is better to pursue the enemy with the remaining courage than to seek fame by imitating the tyrant. This is the teaching of the great leader, and Zhu Pingan naturally dare not forget it.
Although there is no evidence.
But it will definitely affect the subjective judgment of the presiding judge in the court, and may become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
While Zhu Ping'an was making his statement, Liu Dadao, who was in the hall, had already handed over a bag of shoes he was carrying to the court through the officers of the Ministry of Justice.
