The Strongest Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 31: Cold-blooded trial of prisoners! night.

Yangzhou City.

After Jun Ruyu and Wu Meiniang took a boat tour on the lake, they investigated what happened at Phoenix Mountain and returned to Yangzhou City.

Night had fallen by now.

Jun Ruyu temporarily lives in the mansion of Yangzhou magistrate warrior Xun as an imperial envoy.

Just after dinner, Li Jing came back

"Imperial Master, I have checked in detail. There are two armies stationed near Yangzhou City. There has been no increase or decrease in the number of personnel in these two armies!"

Li Jing reported his investigation results to Jun Ruyu.

Jun Ruyu's eyes moved obviously when he heard this. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:"After so long, there is finally good news!"

"Fortunately, things are better than I thought!"

Not long after, Fang Xuanling also rushed back.

Fang Xuanling bowed directly to Jun Ruyu and said:"The emperor's master, according to the emperor's instructions, I inquired about the missing persons in Yangzhou within five years. According to the records, A total of fifty-three people disappeared in five years. They were all men, ranging in age from fifteen to thirty years old, and most of them were craftsmen."

"oh? Hearing this

, Jun Ruyu tapped her fingers lightly on the table and said,"What's the reason for the disappearance?""

"This was not recorded, it was just an understatement that someone was missing!"Fang Xuanling told the truth.

"Yo, this is interesting!

Jun Ruyu suddenly sat up straight and said,"Who decides these disappearance cases?"

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and then said:"One was investigated by the magistrate of Yangzhou, and the other was sentenced by the magistrate of Jinyang County below. The missing persons are mainly concentrated in these two places.""

"Magistrates of states and counties, fifth- and sixth-rank officials!"

Jun Ruyu narrowed his eyes slightly, no one knew what he was thinking.

At this time, the Yangzhou magistrate warrior Xun also came over.

He bowed and cupped his hands, and said:"Emperor Master, I have already investigated the situation you asked me to investigate. The investigation is clear"

"On the night of the incident, Yangzhou Zhizhou Zhao Jinhuai secretly sent someone out of the city, but the person has not been seen since then, and he seems to have disappeared! At the same time, He Cheng, the magistrate of Jinyang County, also had contact with several mysterious people yesterday and today, but I don’t know who he had contact with!"

Hearing what Warrior Xun said, a smile appeared on Jun Ruyu's face.

He chuckled and said meaningfully:"Master Wu, your subordinates seem to have many secrets! As their direct superior, you don’t know anything about it?"

When the warrior Xun heard this, he was shocked and said quickly:"Emperor Master Mingjian, I was just transferred to Yangzhou last year. I don't have much contact with them, and I really don't know anything about them."

"Ah! I hope your words are not false at all!"

Jun Ruyu snorted coldly.

"grown ups!"

At this time, a guard suddenly walked over quickly. This guard was sent by Jun Ruyu to follow the two suspicious people during the day.

When he saw them returning, Jun Ruyu quickly said:"How?"

"Your Majesty, the two men divided their forces outside Yangzhou City. One went to Fenghuang Mountain, and the other went to the city."

"We followed secretly behind us and found that the man who entered the city first went to look for Zhao Jinhuai, the magistrate of Yangzhou, and then He Cheng, the magistrate of Jinyang County. Later, he seemed to have discovered us and was about to escape, so we had no choice but to capture him! Now he is being held outside!"The guard said.

Jun Ruyu nodded and said:"It doesn't matter, now the evidence chain has basically been formed, it's time to close the net!"

"Bring that man!"Jun Ruyu said

"yes!"

Soon, a person was brought into the room by being tied up.

The man was tall and muscular, and he struggled to escape while walking. At the same time, he shouted loudly:"Who are you? Do you have any more laws? How dare you kidnap me? Believe it or not, I will report it to the court!"

"Report to the court?"

When Jun Ruyu heard what he said, she just smiled and said:"I am representing the court now. If you have anything to say, I will give you a chance to say three sentences. If you are not satisfied with one sentence, I will cut off one of your ears. If you are not satisfied with two sentences, one of your fingers will be cut off. If you are not satisfied with three sentences, you will be executed directly!"

Jun Ruyu's tone was very calm, without any murderous intent, but the calmer he was, the more depressing he felt to everyone.

Even Li Jing couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face.

The warrior Xun and others were even more The sweat on my face flowed down as soon as I brushed it.

"You...do you still have the royal law? I want to file a lawsuit against you. You are abusing lynching!"This man was startled by Jun Ruyu, but after seeing that Jun Ruyu was just a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, he couldn't help but show a look of contempt on his face, and still shouted loudly.

When Jun Ruyu heard this, his eyelids He didn't even blink, he just said calmly:"I'm very dissatisfied with the first sentence! General Lee, I want one of his ears! Hearing this, Li Jing pulled out his sword without any hesitation.

Then under the horrified gaze of the man, he suddenly flashed the sword in his hand.

Poof!

Li Jing raised the sword and dropped it.

A bloody His ears suddenly fell to the ground.

And this man was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't reacted yet, and then let out a shrill scream, his face bloodless...

Jun Ruyu smiled slightly and said harmlessly. :"You can say the second sentence, but be sure to think carefully before saying it, otherwise, you will lose your fingers next!""
