Chapter 62: The Case of Li Zhen (7)
Three days later, in the lobby of Dali Temple, Li Zhen's bribery case began the second trial.
This time, the trial is mainly to discuss the issue of conviction, Li Zhen accepted the Duan Yan side of the soap Li Ye Zhuan under the condition of being deceived, which is worth a hundred yuan, how to sentence it; and the soap Li Ye Zhuan, conveying bribes, what should be the crime - and what makes Tang Zong slightly happy is that Chen Ying's two capable subordinates Yuan Gang and Qin Heng are not out of public intentions in the end, and the last trial has already found out that these two people have been tried because the four people of Soap Li stepped on the old lady, and they couldn't ask for help, so they took revenge for personal gain, and Li Zhen's guilt was detected, and he was impeached in the last book.
He coughed lightly and said, "Bring someone to commit a crime—"
Tang Zong looked at the high-ranking officials sitting in the hall, one by one, and there was nothing on their faces at all. Especially several high-ranking officials in the ministry are even closing their eyes to recuperate, they are naturally not as tormented as Tang Zong, because now Tang Zong has no way to convict Chen Ying of this case, because even if Yuan Gang and Qin Heng are indeed hijacking, they have nothing to do with Chen Ying. Chen Ying is the president of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he has to sign many of the bullet seals of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now at most, it is said that he is not strict and disciplined, and he can't touch him at all.
And now Tang Zong mainly didn't know what the prince meant, he went to report the process of the case to the prince before, but the prince did not have any clear instructions, just told him to handle it impartially and sentence him according to law, he returned to Dali Temple with a puzzled stomach, and met two temples, but they both said that it was prudent and should not be involved too deeply. After this scene, the prince's original intention of rectifying the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been achieved. If he goes deeper, he is afraid that he will really anger Chen Ying, and no matter what happens, he will be the most unlucky one.
Tang Zong was deeply afraid of Chen Ying, his days in Dali Temple were always like rats drilling through cracks in the ground, because he often had to deal with Chen Ying, although Chen Ying couldn't see anything on his face, but as soon as he approached this person, he couldn't help but tremble.
Let this case end on Qin Heng and Yuan Gang, and it's almost over.
I think that the vast majority of people here think so, they have all learned Chen Ying's methods, and know that if they really have to involve Chen Ying out, then they must face his stormy revenge in the future.
However, after a long wait, no one was brought. Tang Zong couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter, why haven't the prisoners been taken yet!"
However, soon a frightened voice came: "My lord, everyone is dead!"
This was like a thunderbolt on everyone's heads, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but widen their eyes. And Tang Zong and Xue Jun jumped up almost at the same time and asked sharply, "What's the matter! Everything is dead!"
It was appalling that Li Zhen and the four soap subordinates were tortured to death—but soon they found out that Li Zhen was not dead, and she was still there.
"The chief judge is here, who dares to order the torture without authorization!" Tang Zong said angrily: "This is simply a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, and the crime is extremely evil!"
Not to mention that Tang Zong almost clarified the identity of the main envoy, many officials in the hall felt that Chen Ying was really arrogant this time, and he actually dared to unscrupulously undermine in this case tried by the six ministries and nine secretaries.
"Shangshu of the Criminal Department, there are people in your prison who use torture without authorization, do you know it-" As soon as Tang Zong finished speaking, he was embarrassed to find that Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had already gone to Beijing to be responsible for the construction of the palace, and the Criminal Department had been assisted by Shilang this year.
Xue Jundao: "Lord Tang is confused, the prisoner has already been transferred from the prison of the Criminal Department to the prison of Dali Temple. ”
There are three prisons in the world, the edict of Jinyiwei, the criminal department and the Dali Temple. Jinyiwei's edict prison was overcrowded, and the prison of the criminal department went in and out, and only one Dali Temple prison was empty, because there was no chance to execute the prison at all, and this happened to be under Tang Zong's rule, no matter how you look at it, you should ask him.
Tang Zong sweated on his forehead: "Official, I don't know-"
"Did Master Tang order the execution?" Xue Jun pulled his face and asked solemnly.
"I didn't order the torture! How could I order the torture," Tang Zong tried his best to defend: "This case has almost been tried, what reason do I have for another big punishment, what do I want to ask for!"
Tang Zong is right, he is going to be punished, and he should also be tortured on Yuan Gang and Qin Heng, who are also imprisoned, because this may force the two to identify and be instructed by Chen Ying, because as soon as the contradiction between these two people and Soap Li comes out, everyone will know that Chen Ying is innocent, and no one can implicate Chen Ying.
"That's the people at the bottom making their own opinions," Xue Jun ordered the autopsy to be done, and ordered Li Zhenti to be transferred out of the prison and strictly cared for treatment, and said: "Bring the temple up!"
The two Dali Temple men were brought up, and they were also dazed and at a loss. Xue Jun was shocked and said, "You two dare to be friends and kill innocents!"
The two of them suddenly didn't even dare to shout, and said: "How dare we kill someone! Give us 100,000 guts, I'm afraid we won't be able to do such a thing!"
Xue Jun stared at them tightly and said, "Do you admit to killing people?
Sicheng Yang Cheshu said: "My lord Mingjian, we have never killed anyone, nor have we tortured to extract confessions. ”
"Okay," Xue Jun said: "They all don't admit it!" How did the five criminals in the prison of Dali Temple die with bruises and skinless! You two temple masters, holding the key to the prison, are on duty day and night, and you don't know what you want! Do you really think that all of you are fools, and you can say whatever you want?"
"Master Tang, this is your subordinate," Xue Junyi turned his head to Tang Zong and said, "What do you think?"
Tang Zong knew that he had been suspected by everyone, and that the person had something to do in his Dali Temple, but the people in the Dali Temple were talking cleanly, how could it be possible - he suddenly asked sharply: "Yang Cheshu, Chen Jun! This official has handed over the responsibility of guarding the prisoner to you, and now the person is actually dying inexplicably, can you two escape the blame!"
The key to the prison of Dali Temple is here with the two of them, and everyone can see that there must be something wrong with these two people, but since they don't admit it, they naturally can't be tortured in front of the six departments and Jiuqing, which is really insulting, Xue Jun said: "You two are hard-mouthed now, I don't know if you can laugh after a while." I tell you, one of these five people is not dead. ”
He slapped the table, "Bring the jailer of the prison with you!"
Two jailers guarding the cell were quickly brought up.
"You two, bring everything that happened last night as it is. Xue Lu said: "If there is half a lie, this official will immediately flog you to death!"
Xue Jun couldn't move Sicheng, who was also a bureaucrat, but there was no problem at all in dealing with such a jailer.
