Volume 1, Chapter 284: The king's son was beheaded with a sword, and blood was spilled in the court.
Facing Ye Tingmu's questioning, perhaps because there were too many people at the moment, he wanted to save face.
Chao Ping was neither humble nor arrogant, and was not afraid of Ye Tingmu at all, and chose to fight hard.
He said, "What crime have I committed? Why would I seek death?"
"Well, since you want to know what crime you have committed, I will tell you."
He took the document that the lawyer had just copied and threw it into the hall.
"Take a look at yourself and see if these sins are enough to put you to death."
There was a cold look in Ye Tingmu's eyes at this moment.
It's so cold that it's terrifying.
Except for Chao Ping, the other three had already stopped talking.
After all, they had heard of Ye Tingmu's name.
Although they are one of the four young masters of South City, they usually bully others by taking advantage of their power.
In fact, I am very timid.
Moreover, the status of Ye Tingmu in front of them is even higher than that of their father.
Even Chao Qian didn't dare to say anything at this moment, because his father and the other person were just of the same level.
Only Chao Ping, whose father is a king and commands the troops of a state, has such confidence.
He thought that Ye Tingmu would only dare to punish him at most, and would never kill him for the sake of these untouchables in front of him. In his opinion, it was not necessary.
However, when Ye Tingmu glared at him like that, he felt a little weak.
He did not pick up the documents on the ground.
Instead, he argued: "This is all slander. It is these untouchables who slandered this prince."
Ye Tingmu had a sneer on his face.
"Heh...slander? How do you know it's slander before you even see it? In broad daylight, I can find you witnesses and evidence. Are you sure you want to deny it?"
Chao Ping was speechless and didn't know what to say for a long time.
Finally, he managed to utter a sentence.
"I am the prince of Wuwang Mansion, you should think it through."
Ye Tingmu couldn't help but find it funny.
So what if you are the prince of Wu Wang Mansion? The one arrested today is your prince of Wu Wang Mansion.
He sat down again and the gavel slammed down.
With a "pop..." sound.
The four were startled again.
Chu Ze, the most courageous among them, fell to his knees with a thud.
“It’s unfair…”
And Ye Tingmu's voice also sounded at this time.
"I'm asking you one last time, are you aware of your sins?"
Facing Ye Tingmu's aggressiveness.
Chao Ping clenched his fists tightly, and his face looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
He said unwillingly again: "Even if it is so, what does it matter? Ye Tingmu, don't forget who gave you this official uniform. It was the Chao family. The world of Jiuzhou belongs to the Chao family. I am a descendant of the Chao family, and you have no right to judge me."
Ye Tingmu raised his eyebrows.
Whether you are qualified or not is up to you.
"As the saying goes, a red official robe is stained with the blood of the people. Now that I've put it on, I'm not afraid of getting it dirty, let alone stained with blood. Today, I'll fight for fairness and justice for the people, and demand fairness and justice. Only then will I be worthy of this plaque above my head."
He paused, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Since you have admitted your crime, there is nothing to say about the life for the life. Even if the emperor comes today, it will not work."
As soon as these words were spoken, the place fell into silence.
The red official robes were stained with the blood of the common people.
Fight for fairness, justice and fairness for the people.
Such words filled the hearts of the people present.
The four words "a bright mirror hanging high" became more conspicuous at this moment.
Even Lin An was shocked by these remarks.
When he was in Beimang, he was shocked once by Ye Tingmu's remarks.
Now I am shocked again.
Although Ye Tingmu in front of him holds a high position, in his heart, he seems to have never looked down on ordinary people.
The philosophy he has always upheld is that everyone is equal and no one is born superior to others.
Chao Ping's face was distorted, his expression changing from gloomy to bright. He said viciously, "You...are so fair. If you touch me today, all of them will die. Not a single one of them will survive, not even you..."
Suddenly at this moment.
A dragon roar was heard in the hall.
Then Ye Tingmu disappeared out of thin air.
A gust of wind blew in the lobby.
The wind was extremely fast.
It moved forward in an instant, accompanied by several purple lightning bolts.
A flash of white light.
Blood splattered the sky.
Chaoping's threatening words came to an abrupt halt.
At this time, Ye Tingmu had already appeared three inches behind him.
Amidst the lightning and thunder lingering on the tip of the lightning sword in his hand, a drop of scarlet blood fell into the hall.
"I hate being threatened the most in my life."
Chaoping covered his neck with his hands and his eyeballs bulged.
He stammered but could not utter a word, only the blood staining his white robe red.
Then he fell to the ground with a loud bang.
There was a muffled sound in the lobby.
Chaoping died of suffocation and died completely.
At this moment, there was only horror in people's eyes.
It was so quiet that only the heavy breathing of each other could be heard.
Lin An was also stunned. He never thought that Ye Tingmu would take action personally.
Faced with the shocked crowd, Ye Tingmu didn't care.
Jian Feng pointed at the three people who were now paralyzed by fear and said calmly, "Do you admit your guilt?"
The three men were trembling all over, and the alcohol from last night had completely dissipated at this moment.
Looking at Chao Ping lying in a pool of blood, how could they dare to say no?
"I admit it, I admit it all, I admit everything, don't kill me..."
"I admit it too..."
"I... admit it too."
The three men admitted their crimes.
Ye Tingmu sheathed his sword.
Then he said, "Since you have confessed your guilt, come, throw these three people into death row and execute them in the autumn."
The three men looked undeterred. Although they were unwilling, they dared not say a word, for fear that Ye Tingmu would kill them with one sword.
Chu Ze even fainted on the spot.
They knew they were finished.
This new Shaoqing is going to use them as a target.
It took Captain Song a long time to recover from the shock.
"As you command."
He waved his hand.
"Drag him away."
The crowd remained quiet at this time.
The person kneeling on the ground in the hall lowered his head and began to cry softly.
Great revenge is achieved and injustice is redressed.
This is something they would never dare to dream of.
But it has come true today.
Ye Tingmu walked towards the hall calmly, his face peaceful, not showing at all that he had just killed someone.
And the people killed were descendants of the Chao family.
He knew that he was somewhat impulsive.
But as a hot-blooded man, I couldn't bear it.
In the past, I had no strength or power, so I just endured it.
There's no point in enduring it now.
Screw King Wu, he was an enemy anyway, it doesn’t matter.
Just kill it.
Looking at the scene that just happened, they couldn't help but look at Ye Tingmu and the red official robe under the bright mirror.
Looking at his upright face.
They remembered the grievances of the past and the injustices they had encountered in this world.
They had collapsed and felt unwilling before.
They feel that the world is unfair and the government is dirty.
But now, they saw a different official.
This official could even execute the king's son for them.
And they are just ants in the eyes of others.
With him, they felt respected and treated fairly.
For the first time in their lives, they felt that they were human beings in the eyes of the king, and not like animals that could be slaughtered at will.
"Marquis Shujian." Someone was the first to shout, and soon all the civilians gathered here shouted.
"Book and Sword Marquis!"
"Shu Jian Hou!!"
The noise grew louder and louder. There were old people, children, middle-aged men, and women inside.
Fanaticism gradually revealed itself in their eyes, and their roars gradually echoed in the sky.
This is the tribute to him from the people of Nancheng.
