Rise From the Humble

"slow".

Zhu Ping'an's slow words were not loud, but the tone that made people laugh was unusually eye-catching, catching everyone's ears easily.

The corners of Zhao Daying's raised mouth withered instantly.

Wang Xueyi in the courtroom heard this slow call and subconsciously looked at Yan Shifan in the auditorium, fearing that it was this man calling again. Wang Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that there was no sign of curling up the corners of the man's mouth. It's okay if you didn't shout.

Next, Wang Xueyi discovered that the source of the sound was Zhu Pingan standing under the court.

"Zhu Pingan, what do you mean? Are you dissatisfied with the adults?"

When Zhao Daying saw that Zhu Pingan had stopped the servants, he couldn't help but question Zhu Pingan loudly, and by the way, he put a label on Zhu Pingan who was dissatisfied with the court ruling.

"no."

Zhu Ping'an cherished his words like gold, curled his lips and said "no" with a smile.

Laugh again!

Zhu Ping'an's smile was extremely dazzling in Zhao Daying's eyes. He felt inexplicably irritated and wanted to kick him in the face!

"No? Then why did you stop the Lord's order?" Zhao Daying sneered, insisting on Zhu Ping'an's blocking of Wang Xueyi's order, and used the opportunity to pressure others.

Zhu Ping'an looked at Zhao Daying and smiled slightly, ignoring him, then turned around and bowed to the chief judge of the court, stood up and explained, "Master Wang, please calm down, I would like to ask your Excellency to inform Liu Mu, Liu Dadao, Liu Dachui and the other six are here to testify. If they are imprisoned, how can they testify? Please think again, sir."

"Testify?" Wang Xueyi shook his head when he heard this, and kept laughing, "What qualifications do they have to testify? As I have just said, they were not present, witnessed and heard, so how qualified are they to testify? They are teasing us like this. If he is not thrown into prison as a warning to others, wouldn’t it be ridiculous and generous?”

"That's right. If you are not even present at the scene, what qualifications do you have to testify? If they can all testify, then I will also apply to testify. I testify that Mr. Zhao has meritorious service in killing the enemy, and he did not kill a good person to take credit at all."

"That's right, Zhu Pingan is so young, but he is very good at telling lies with his eyes open."

"We will not accept the perjury or making a mockery of the court, even if we don't put them in jail."

"That's right, we don't accept it."

Under the court, a group of officials headed by the military attache Zhao Daying began to make a fuss, criticize Zhu Pingan, and put pressure on the court, prompting the court to put all the witnesses called by Zhu Pingan into jail. If successful, then Zhu Ping'an will be completely defeated this time. There will be no witnesses, so what else can he make out.

In their view, their demands couldn't be more reasonable.

Think about it, Mr. Wang made it very clear in the court. Liu Dadao and the others were not at the scene, so what kind of evidence could they do? ! Do you hear you talking in your sleep? ! Isn't this funny? This clearly ignores the seriousness of the court. He should be thrown into jail and charged with perjury and false accusation.

"Haha, sir, you are joking. If you are not at the scene and have no ears or eyes, can you not testify?"

When Zhu Pingan heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he shook his head with a smile.

ah

What?

Zhu Pingan, are you stupid? How can they testify if they are not present at the scene? Do you think we are stupid? !

Everyone in the court looked at Zhu Pingan and shook their heads, thinking that Zhu Pingan's words were too childish.

"Zhu Pingan, do you know what you are talking about? Do you have common sense? How can you testify if you are not there?"

A military attache stood up in the courtroom and looked at Zhu Ping'an with disdain as if he were an idiot and asked.

"Zhu Pingan, how can they testify if they are not at the scene?" The presiding judge Wang Xueyi shook his head and asked with a sneer.

How do you explain it? !

Mr. Zhao and others stared at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes, waiting to see Zhu Pingan's joke. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice. Even if Zhu Pingan has a lotus tongue, can he still confuse right and wrong?

"My lord has just confirmed their identities. Liu Mu, Liu Dadao, and Liu Dachui are from Liujia Village at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, which is the village where Zhao Daying was impeached for killing a good man and taking credit for his crime. Admittedly, they are not I was not at the scene, and I did not witness or hear that Zhao Daying killed a good person and took credit for it. However, the people Zhao Daying took credit for were the villagers of Liujia Village, that is, Liu Dadao, his family and fellow villagers. I invite Liu Mu and Liu Dadao and the other six are here to determine whether the head presented by Zhao Daying that day is a fellow villager from Liujia Village?"

"So whether Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others were present or not, whether they heard or witnessed it, does not affect their testimony."

Zhu Ping'an stood in the hall and explained in a deep voice, with sharp eyes, neither humble nor arrogant. The hot sunshine at noon shone on him, reflecting his righteousness. Although he was not tall, he gave people a strong look overlooking the world.

No wonder

It turned out that the head was to be verified!

The presiding judge Wan Gong and Wang Gao in the court looked at each other, communicated silently, and nodded slowly.

Indeed, regardless of whether Liu Mu and the others were present at the scene, their identity as residents of Liujia Village would not change. This had already been verified from their roadmap and household registration book when their identities were first verified. There are only so many people in a village. Since they are from Liujia Village, they can naturally recognize the heads of people from Liujia Village.

"Hahaha, verify the head? It has been more than half a year since I captured the head and handed it over. What kind of head can be kept for half a year?"

Zhao Daying heard this and sneered at it.

"It's just that half a year has passed and it has long since rotted."

"The human head is not a valuable thing. Either bury it or burn it. Who will keep it as a treasure for you?"

"Can you still recognize the bones?"

All the military attachés in the hall also laughed.

Facing the ridicule of Zhao Daying and the military attache, Zhu Pingan's expression remained unchanged, he put his hands behind his back and slowly said word by word: "Chapter 3, Paragraph 117 of the "Regulations on Arms": Military merit must be beheading, and beheading must be the most important thing." There is real evidence and no slander is allowed. The first and other miraculous achievements have no real evidence and are easy to be faked. Therefore, anyone who captures the enemy and rewards them must use their heads to judge their merits. The heads should be salted with grass ashes and lime. If it is saved, the Ministry of War will seal it for more than a year, and then burn it and bury it after the temple is informed in the autumn of the following year."

"The "Reward" issued by the Holy Spirit also stipulates that rewards will be based on merit based on the head."

"In addition, I have also checked Mr. Zhao's reward document last year. It is recorded in it that the fifty-nine heads donated by Mr. Zhao last year were sealed in the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War. The Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War is only a hundred steps away from the Ministry of Justice. You can walk back and forth in just a cup of tea. It doesn’t take much time to get the head.”

Zhu Ping'an cited scriptures, and what he said was well-founded. According to regulations, there are also documented records. The head that Zhao Daying donated last year is still sealed in the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War.

What?

Hearing this, Zhao Daying was stunned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and his eyebrows were twisted into knots and locked together.
