Chapter 764: The Emperor's Imperial Trial, plus the Three Divisions' Trial
Shen Qi, the general of the Tiger Praetorian Guard, led the Tiger Praetorian Guard to maintain order outside the Criminal Department, and the Loyal and Righteous Marquis Fang Wushi led the Dragon Praetorian Guard to protect him inside the Yamen of the Criminal Department.
Liang Xinming went in and found that there was a crowd:
Emperor Jing Kang sat in the middle of the public case, on the left was Lin Ping, the head of Dali Temple, on the right was Pang Zhen, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, on the lower left was Xie Yaohui, the prefect of Kyoto, and on the right sat Yan Duyang, the left minister, Cui Yuan, the right minister, and Lin Yulin, the right capital.
It is said that it is a royal trial, not a personal trial by the emperor, but a supervising trial.
The emperor is the lord of the world, in charge of state affairs, and is not necessarily good at this kind of specific government procedures, and the trial is still properly handed over to insiders.
Therefore, Emperor Jing Kang ordered Lin Ping to preside over the trial and supervise the trial himself; he also ordered Pang Zhen and Lin Yulin to also participate, just like the three divisions of the trial; because Xie Yaohui asked for the appointment of the deputy chief judge, saying that he wanted to study and train himself, the emperor also approved.
Liang Xinming looked at it and twitchedββ
This battle is too grand!
Everyone watched Liang Xinming and Wang Heng walk up to the court side by side, and their mood was very delicate: these two people are the hottest young talents in Dajing at present, and they are sharp and decisive in judging others.
Lin Ping was very nervous, afraid that he would make a mistake during the interrogation and be cross-examined by Wang Heng or Liang Xinming, embarrassed and embarrassed, while Xie Yaohui's eyes were full of excitement - this was definitely a challenge, he recommended himself, but not just for this moment!
At the moment, Liang Xinming and Wang Heng met.
Emperor Jing Kang looked at Liang Xinming, and saw that her face was fine, unlike that day when she was pale and weak in the palace, and her mood was inexplicably better, he waved his hand and shouted, and sympathized with her pregnancy, and specially ordered her to sit down and wait for the trial, and even Wang Heng also sat down.
Liang Xinming sat down, and the emperor's order began.
Lin Ping shouted: "Summoning the plaintiff to court." β
Suddenly, the official took Tong Shigui to the court.
Liang Xinming looked at this person and remembered!
Huayang Town is so big, she and Wang Heng are walking around the town after studying, almost the neighbors are familiar with each other, this squire is seen when listening to books in the teahouse, with a round head and a fat face, full of red light, a very typical image of a rich man, looking at it now, it has not changed much, and even a wrinkle has not been added.
Wang Heng was unhappy and looked at the old guy sharply.
Tong Shigui couldn't ignore this resentful gaze, looked over, and immediately recognized Wang Heng and Liang Xinming, seeing that the two of them were extraordinary, he couldn't help but panic, and even forgot to kowtow to the emperor, and greeted with a dry smile: "Young Master Wang, young grandmother." β
Lin Ping shouted: "Bold! I haven't seen the emperor yet!"
Tong Shigui trembled, knelt down and kowtowed.
Lin Ping frowned when he saw this, how dare he sue Liang Xinming with this guts?
He routinely asked about his name, age, etc., and after a moment of conversation, he suddenly asked: "Tong Shigui, your concubine Cui'er was kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law, why didn't you ask her whether she was alive or dead? Why did you suddenly sue Lord Liang for harming her after so many years?"
Tong Shigui cried and said, "Why haven't you looked for it? The villain's life is not good, she married a vicious wife, she did this behind the villain's back, she has been retributed, and she died of illness. The villain knew that Cui'er had been kicked out, thinking that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and that it would be good to quietly let someone find and pick it up. Who knew that I couldn't find it after searching all over Huayang Town. The villain still had the idea of what to expect, thinking that she had left Huayang Town. The villain is incense in front of the Bodhisattva in the morning and evening, asking the Bodhisattva to bless Cui'er with safety. Unexpectedly, a ...... surnamed Wu came that day, "This pulled out Wu Zikui."
Because of Wu Zikui's insertion, Tong Shigui suspected that his daughter was eaten by a tiger, but the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Wang family fled, so he tracked down the events of the year.
Then, two servants of the Tong family went to the court to testify, saying that they saw Grandma Wang in contact with Cui'er and gave her silver, and Cui'er later hid in the mountains.
Liang Xinming looked at Wang Heng, without speaking, Wang Heng also understood the meaning of her eyes: How can there be such a shameless villain!
Morning and evening incense in front of the Bodhisattva?
The Bodhisattva hears that he will kick you to death!
The people in the hall are all human spirits, people who have been rolling in the sea for many years, Tong Shigui's little tricks were ignored, and Lin Ping ordered Wu Zikui to go to the court.
When the old people saw each other, their mood changed greatly.
When Wu Zikui was asked why he wanted to sue Liang Xinming, he first recounted that Wu Fan said that he saw the tiger dragging Lin Xin'er out to eat, and he did not hide his hatred, and said resolutely: " The grass people deserve to fall to such a point; the death of the grass people's son is also deserved; the death of Meng Yuanxiang's family is also deserved; Liang Xinming's woman disguised herself as a man to commit the crime of bullying the king, and was pardoned by the emperor, and the grass people did not dare to beak, however, Liang Xinming Li Dai Tao stiffened the golden cicada out of his shell, but did not accept the punishment of the law, and the grass people must not be convinced!"
Therefore, as soon as he came back, he went to Huayang Town to investigate the matter.
Therefore, he desperately wanted to sue Liang Xinming.
Because, he is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes!
From his calm tone, Liang Xinming felt his bitter hatred. This is not surprising, what is strange is that Tong Shigui joined forces with the down-and-out Wu Zikui to stand up for the concubine Cui'er, who was probably forgotten by him a long time ago?
Lin Ping asked, "Wu Zikui, do you have any evidence to prove that Wu Fan did say those things to you, and it wasn't made up by you to falsely accuse Lord Liang?"
Wu Zikui said very simply: "No." β
Without waiting for Lin Ping to speak, he followed and said: "But the grass people have already provided corroborating evidence, which is Tong Shigui's testimony. If Lord Liang really has a clear conscience, can he dare to swear with the child in her belly that she didn't use Cui'er Golden Cicada to get out of her shell?"
This is said to emulate Wang Heng's trial of Meng Qingquan.
Lin Ping was stunned.
Everyone was stunned.
Wang Heng's eyes shot an awe-inspiring cold light.
"Not allowed!"
A broken drink came.
Everyone followed the sound and looked, but it was Xie Yaohui who drank it.
Lin Ping couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, and asked Xie Yaohui, "What is Lord Xie's opinion?"
Xie Yaohui got up first, first accused the emperor, and then said to Lin Ping: "The lower official class has an axe." Then he turned to Wu Zikui and sank his face.
He shouted: "On that day, Lord Wang tried Meng Qingquan, because his mother Wu had already confessed to the crime of murdering Grandma Wang, and Meng Qingquan could not escape suspicion; Today, you are the plaintiff and have committed a criminal record, whether you have falsely accused Lord Liang is still to be verified, and what qualifications do you have to make Lord Liang swear? Let her swear with the fetus in her womb is even more vicious and absurd, so it is not allowed!"
A righteous remark, loud.
Jing Kangdi nodded and said, "This is reasonable!"
Lin Ping said: "Take Wu Zikui down to the hall!"
Wu Zikui was unwillingly taken down.
Xie Yaohui sat down and continued to hear the trial.
Liang Xinming and Wang Heng looked at each other, and felt that this person was really capable, and his reaction was faster than Lin Ping's, and he spent a lot of effort studying the cases that Wang Heng had tried, and borrowed the details of the case at his fingertips, as if he had experienced it.
Lin Ping turned his gaze to Liang Xinming's side and asked, "Two adults, do you have any objections to what Wu Zikui and Tong Shigui have complained?"
Wang Heng intercepted: "Of course there is!"
Lin Ping said: "Please speak, my lord." β
Wang Heng said: "Tong Shigui's wife abused his concubine, and Tong Shigui could not escape his responsibility, he did not fulfill any responsibility to Cui'er's mother and daughter. The official's existing witnesses testify that Tong Shigui has never treated Cui'er's mother and daughter as human beings. The official suspects that he was instructed to stand up for Cui'er and falsely accuse Liang Xinming with sinister intentions. Please the emperor and all the adults to be clear!" His words pulled the focus to the false accusation, avoiding the truth and avoiding the interrogation of Xin'er Golden Cicada's shelling, and he deserved to be an expert.
Lin Ping hurriedly said: "The witness is summoned to the court." β
Outside, the Wang family was already ready, and immediately sent the witnesses to the court, Liang Xinming couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, why are they?
