Chapter 81 Triage of the Three Divisions
The efficiency of the three divisions is very fast, after all, it is something that is decided at the imperial meeting, and the chief of the three divisions also heard the will of the saint on the spot.
After the next dynasty, the new imperial history of the Cheng Yang Shenjin and Dali Temple Qing Li Daodi came to the subordinate office of the province of Menxia, Tang Dynasty Yushitai to the Xuanzong Dynasty, the imperial history of the doctor has completely become a vacant position, just to give high-ranking officials an honorary title.
Because the current criminal department is still in charge of Li Shizhi, the left minister, the two had to come to ask him what the charter of the afternoon case should be.
After Li Shizhi invited the two to take a seat, Yang Shenjin asked, "Zuo Xiang, how should the case be tried in the afternoon?"
As the first fire to take refuge again, Yang Shenjin naturally attaches great importance to it.
"This official is the prime minister, and the affairs of the province are busy, so this afternoon's case will not be involved, you go to find Xiao Yinzhi, the right attendant. Li Shizhi said.
"This ...... I'm afraid it's not in line with the ceremony, right?, what the Holy Lord wants is the trial of the three divisions!" Yang Shenjin said after being shocked for a moment.
Li Shizhi: What's the matter? Did you admit defeat? It's just been a round of fighting! Xiao Yinzhi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, is not his person!
Of course, Li Shizhi is not stage frightened, but he has lost the opportunity in this case, and even if he gets together, there may not be any good results. Moreover, judging from the events of the morning, the Holy One's attitude towards him was now considered bad, and he had to do something to save his image in front of the Holy One, and he knew that as long as he did it well, he would definitely make the Holy One happy.
If you Li Linfu want to defeat me from the frontal battlefield, then I have no choice but to find another way and take the sword to the front.
"This, Yang Zhongcheng doesn't need to worry! The official will go to the saint for instructions later, and the third division will interrogate and then the third division will go! I'm such a prime minister, what kind of matter!" Li Shizhi said and laughed.
"Then dare to ask Zuo Xiang, where should this case be tried in court?" Yang Shenjin saw that Li Shizhi had insisted on retreating, and he couldn't say anything, just for the sake of insurance, he still had to fight over which yamen passed the court.
The result is obvious, Li Shizhi, who has given up the big head, will naturally not worry about these details, Li Shizhi immediately said after hearing this: "Since it involves officials, it is better to put it in the imperial history platform, and the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will follow." ”
At this end of the conversation, Yang and Li each returned to their official offices, and at noon the Holy Lord's decree was handed down. In the morning, the emperor's order at the court meeting was only a personal dictation, only after the Chinese book drafted the edict, the door was approved, and finally the emperor used the seal to issue the six Shangshu or the central and local yamen to implement, so that it can be regarded as a formal and legal government administrative order.
Sure enough, the criminal department in the trial of the three divisions only came to the right waiter Xiao Yinzhi.
After receiving the decree, the three of them did not dare to slack off, the will of the saint clearly said that the trial should be concluded as soon as possible, Dali Temple Qing Li Daodi and the right attendant of the Criminal Department Xiao Yinzhi hurriedly rushed to the Yushitai after receiving the will, and the three divisions converged and sat down in the main hall of the Yushitai. Dali Siqing's official rank was originally the highest, but now he is in the court on the territory of the Imperial History Tower, and Li Daodi has already made up his mind to come here only to observe, and will not participate in the trial. Although it seems that Zuo Xiang has made a look of admitting defeat, but after being an official for so many years, he is not a fool, and he is not so stupid as to really think that Li Shizhi will reach the point of being slaughtered by others. Since their two immortals want to fight, then let's stay on the sidelines with no door and no faction!
Therefore, as soon as he sat down, Li Daodi, the secretary of Dali Temple, began to look at his nose and nose and put on a look that he had nothing to do with himself, and as for Xiao Yinzhi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, he had already understood his position, so he simply picked up a pen and paper and started the errand of the scribe's notes.
"Lord Yang, I brought it to you, the plaintiff!" walked in from the door was a middle-aged man, who was Hua Da.
I have to mention the rules of the internal guard here, as long as the ten leaders of the internal guard are still in the flower house, the names can only be Hua Da and Hua Er...... Until Hua Shi, he can only use his real name after coming out of it, so the name of the inner guard of each generation is the same.
Following Hua Da in was Tang Yuan's daughter Tang Xuexue, Tang Xuejun was still dressed in white, setting off her softness to the extreme. It's just that the people present are all veterans for many years, and in this era when prostitution is not illegal but will be passed on by Shilin as a beautiful talk, these people have long been veterans of flowers. Moreover, in this Chang'an City, where women's plump bodies are beautiful, Tang Xueying's thin bamboo pole is really not to their taste. So except for the first time to marvel at the girl's delicate face, after a while, everyone lost interest.
After Hua Da brought the people here, he found a corner and sat down against the wall, and the Holy Decree asked him to observe, and he naturally needed to be present.
At this time, Duan Zhang, the chief of Yuzhang, was also brought up, and Duan Zhang, who was wearing a guilty body at this time, naturally did not wear the official mansion anymore, and his green shirt also showed a bit of the elegance of a scribe.
There is no such thing as an enemy meeting each other, and both of them know in their hearts that such a battle has long exceeded the grievances between them, and now they are just two chess pieces in the hands of others.
Seeing that the people had arrived, Yang Shenjin, who was sitting in the imperial history of the first lord, said: "The people have arrived, everyone see, can we start?"
After speaking, he first looked at Li Daodi, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Li Daodi hurriedly said when he saw this: "Since everyone has arrived, then Lord Yang will start!"
Then looked at Xiao Yinzhi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, Xiao Yinzhi simply raised the pen and paper in his hand and made a casual gesture to Yang Shenjin.
Finally, he looked at Hua Da who was sitting in the distance, and saw that Hua Da had closed his eyes, Yang Shenjin would not be stupid enough to think that he was really asleep, since he had asked, he naturally couldn't miss this great god, and asked, "Lord Hua, look?"
"Ah, ask me, let's get started! Lord Yang is free, and I'll listen to it from the sidelines. After saying that, he leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes.
"Then it begins!" Yang Shenjin sat up straight and said to the audience.
"Plaintiff Tang, you can tell me all about your grievances!" Although the facts of the case have long been known, the procedures for this trial are indispensable, and the file submitted to the emperor must be submitted according to today's transcript.
"The people's daughter Tang Xueying, sued Yu Zhang's chief Shi Duan Zhang...... "Although he has long known about his family's tragedy, Duan Zhang can only be regarded as a person who provoked it, and the death of Uncle Wu and Wu Ma should have nothing to do with Duan Zhang, but now, the truth is no longer more important than the safety of his parents."
Tang Xueying told her family's tragedy again, and appropriately paired it with a few tears, but there was also a pitiful taste in it.
After listening to Tang Xueying's explanation, Yang Shenjin immediately asked Duan Zhang, "Duan Zhang, do you have anything to add to the plaintiff's accusation?"
"Lord Hui, there is!" Duan Zhang said.
"Tell me!" Yang Shenjin said.
"Xia Guan did send a housekeeper to Fuliang County to find Tang Yuan to customize a piece of porcelain, but it was just ......" Duan Zhang began to retort, but before he could continue, Yang Shenjin interrupted him.
"Why do you want to order porcelain?" Yang Shenjin asked.
"This ......" Duan Zhang hesitated.
"Say!" Yang Shenjin knocked on the startled wood and shouted loudly.
"In order to make a congratulatory gift...... Duan Zhang also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to shake his head and say with a sigh.
"Whose congratulatory gift is it for?" Yang Shenjin still didn't let him go.
"Congratulatory gift to Mrs. Yang!" Duan Zhang fortunately let go, telling the truth.
"Why is it congratulatory?" Yang Shenjin still got to the bottom of the matter, although the canonization of Yang Yuhuan was very fierce, and the officials in Chang'an also had their own opinions, but after all, the imperial court did not make a clear will, and the saint did not express his position in public, so it was still in the stage of words and intentions, but this time, Yang Shenjin had to poke this matter out like a stunned person.
When Xia Guan heard that Yang Taizhen was going to be canonized as a concubine, he thought about preparing a congratulatory gift in advance. Duan Zhang said.
"Where did you get the news?" asked Yang Shenjin.
"A member of the Ministry of Rites sued the Lower Officials at a party. "There was no way, Duan Zhang had no choice but to sell his friend.
"Write it down!" Yang Shenjin said to the right attendant of the Criminal Department who was holding the pen.
Although Xiao Yinzhi was already stunned, the movements in his hands never stopped, and he kept muttering in his heart, "What does this Yang Shenjin want to do!"
This is also what the other two people in the hall want to ask! Dali Siqing Li Daowei stared at Yang Shenjin for a long time but still couldn't find anything, and Hua Da, who closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, also opened his eyes and looked at him, and then closed his eyes thoughtfully.
"Okay, Duan Zhang, you go on!" Yang Shenjin said to Duan Zhang.
"Yes, my lord, although Xiaguan once sent a housekeeper to Fuliang County to find Fuliang County and City to order Tang Yuan to customize porcelain, but after Tang Yuan refused to burn porcelain for Xiaguan, Xiaguan's housekeeper was ordered to return and did not stay in Fuliang County. Duan Zhang said.
"Is there a witness?" asked Yang Shenjin.
"The Fuliang County Order can prove it!" Duan Zhang thought for a while and said.
"What else?" Yang Shenjin said after a moment of recollection. After getting down in the morning, Qian Yi, a staff member beside Li Linfu, came to him and told him all about the causes and consequences of the case and the meaning of the right minister.
However, the next day, the housekeeper did not return to the house, and later the official learned that the housekeeper had been killed on the way back! Duan Zhang said, showing an angry expression at the right time.
"Where did you get the news of the butler's murder?" asked Yang Shenjin.
"There is an offering in the Xiaguan Mansion, named Wei Chao, who he sued the Xiaguan. Duan Zhang replied.
"Where is Wei Chao now?" asked Yang Shenjin.
"Xiaguan guessed that the other party killed the housekeeper and took away the letter in order to kill Tang Yuan's family and then frame me, so after Xiaguan learned the news, he immediately sent Wei Chao to protect Tang Yuan's family, but Wei Chao's whereabouts are still unknown. Duan Zhang finally said what he wanted to say without being interrupted again.
"Tang, have you ever seen the person Wei Chao that the defendant said?" Yang Shenjin turned to Tang Xuejun and asked.
"If you go back to your lordship, the people have never seen it. Tang Xuejun replied.
"Then where is your father Tang Yuan now?" Yang Shenjin asked again.
The whereabouts of my father and mother are still unknown. Tang Xuejun shook her head and said.
"You don't know about the defendant anymore?" Yang Shenjin asked Duan Zhang again.
"Xia Guan doesn't know!" Duan Zhang also shook his head.
The interrogation can no longer be carried out here, and the focus of both sides is on Tang Yuan and his wife, but the whereabouts of Tang Yuan and his wife are still unknown, so the interrogation can only be suspended first.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and although the saint has ordered the trial to be concluded quickly, there is no intention of letting the officials go to work at night. Therefore, seeing that the interrogation could no longer continue, Yang Shenjin once questioned everyone in the hall one by one, and finally issued an order to suspend the interrogation.
Each of them went back to his house, took the transcript and went back to prepare the excerpt for the performance. The interrogation on the surface is over, but no matter what era it is, this kind of thing on the surface is just a passing scene, and the competition between them behind the scenes has just begun......
