C864 Violent Control of Violence
The commoners immediately turned silent in fear, their eyes filled with fear!0
Everyone in the imperial city knew how tyrannical Prince of Shou was. Before Shen Muqing's rise, he could cover the sky with one hand, how could these commoners dare to offend Prince of Shou!
When Zhao Kuangyin heard Prince of Shou's words, he thought, "Not good!" and faintly guessed Prince of Shou's intentions. As expected, when Prince of Shou saw the reaction of the commoners, his face revealed a proud expression.
He looked at Shen Muqing and said, "Does Ninth Brother want a lawsuit? This King wants to see how you will stand trial without a book written by tens of thousands of citizens as well as the citizens as witnesses. "
Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that his face turned green. This Prince of Shou had no laws in his eyes. With Prince of Shou's domineering attitude, nobody dared to speak up. Sun Tie also showed a face of despair and loudly said, "This lowly one's life is not worth dying for. "Prince of Yan Ming, you don't have to force it. I am a seven foot man. Even if I die, I will not implicate anyone else!"
Shen Muqing smiled and said in a relaxed manner, "This case is extremely simple, there are too many trials and it is a direct judgment. Since royal brother wants to hear it, I will decide it right away!"
After saying that, Shen Muqing said, "Even though criminal Yang Zhi has killed Niu Er before, he is a scoundrel. Yang Zhi took the initiative to retaliate in self-defense, refused to be punished, and was released immediately. I investigate Niu Er, this person has nothing better to do, stealing chickens and dogs to harm people, Yang Zhi killing Niu Er is a blessing in disguise, and the reward is a hundred gold taels! "
When those words were spoken, the entire crowd was in an uproar. Yang Zhi did not dare to believe his ears. Not only was killing Niu Er not a crime, he even rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold.
Zhao Kuangyin gave Shen Muqing a grateful look. He had seen it more deeply than Yang Zhi and knew that Shen Muqing's one hundred taels of gold was purely for the sake of helping Yang Zhi. Liu Tie was a man who would rather sell his treasured blade than ask for Yang Family. If she gave him gold and silver, he wouldn't take it.
This way of helping him was something that he could accept in his heart. However, he was extremely considerate when it came to personal gains. Other than admiration, Zhao Kuangyin did not have a second opinion.
After a moment of silence, he clapped his hands together like thunder, "Master Prince of Yan has taken responsibility for my people. I, Prince of Yan of China, am here, so why should I worry about this!"
On the contrary, Prince of Shou, Zhu Yuanzhang, Fei Zhong and the rest all had ugly expressions on their faces. Fei Zhong was so anxious that he wanted to jump up. His son was killed, even though it was just his foster son.
Now, the murderer was not guilty, and even got a hundred gold coins as reward. How could he take this lying down?
Kneeling in front of Prince of Shou, he wailed, "Please be the judge for Niu Er, your highness be the judge for Niu Er!"
Prince of Shou said with a livid expression, "Ninth Brother has no evidence. Isn't that absurd? What makes you think it's reasonable for you to call Yang Zhi innocent?"
Shen Muqing held Shang Fang's sword and said with a cold voice, "The sword above is the truth, this king is the truth!"
Prince of Shou said angrily, "Father bestowed upon you the sword of Shang Fang-fu, letting you deal with the matter of the Huns. What does the matter of the Huns have to do with this case?"
Zhu Yuanzhang chimed in, "The Chinese law cannot be trampled upon. Although this king has the Shuntian Prefecture, since this is the case for Ninth Brother, then this king will still resist until the end!"
Shen Muqing said casually, "With Shang Fangjian in this king's hands, is there any reason for this king to make a decision? If royal brother doesn't agree, then go complain to royal father. It would be best to repeat the threats to the people and let royal father judge this matter himself!"
Prince of Shou and Zhu Yuanzhang were both dumbfounded. They couldn't say a single word because Shen Muqing had abused his power, but the crime was even greater. If they really caused trouble for the Human Emperor, Shen Muqing might not be able to do anything, but they would definitely suffer!
This was truly using violence to suppress violence!
