078 The emperor's personal trial
No one thought that on the second day, the emperor would come to the noon gate to preside over the public trial. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info was originally used as an execution ground for the autumn queen, with three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded by the people. Others stepped on stools to get a glimpse of the holy face.
There are too many people. In order to avoid accidents such as stampedes, the emperor temporarily dispatched a group of Praetorian Guards to maintain order, and "Quiet" signs were erected on all sides of the high platform.
Fu Manyan is still standing in yesterday's position, very close to the high platform.
The emperor got straight to the point. "Qian Fangzhao, tell me, where did all your gold and silver treasures come from? And the Great Eastern Pearl, I don't have it in my palace. ā
Qian Fangzhao's face was pale, and he looked like a lost dog.
"Minister, those are the family funds that the minister has accumulated over the years? It is not the proceeds of bribery. ā
"Good, good. Tell me how much you have to do a year, how many years will it take to save up to 100,000 taels? ā
Qian Fangzhao was silent. If only these 100,000 taels were found, he could still cover up one or two, the key was that the Dadong Pearl was searched. It was a pink pearl like no other in the world. In the past, the monk who gave him the East Pearl said that this pearl came from the South China Sea and could gather the aura of the world, which was a rare treasure.
The origin of this Dongzhu can't be explained in any case.
"The minister owes the emperor's grace, and the sin deserves death. They were all fascinated by the ministers for a while, and they failed the emperor's teachings. Now, the minister is willing to donate all his family wealth to the treasury, but he hopes to make up for the mistakes of the minister and calm the hatred in the hearts of the people. ā
The emperor said twice: "Then I want to thank Aiqing." Someone came, passed on my message, and today he dismissed Qian Fang as the secretary of Dali Temple, and after the public trial was completed, he was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. ā
The emperor is not a fool. Where did Qian Fangzhao's silver come from, and who gave it, of course, it must be tried, but it cannot be tried publicly.
Thinking of what Prince Yuan said last night, the emperor's heart was surging.
The maid who beat the drum was too timely.
Ever since he found the secret edict, he had repeatedly thought about how to arrange 20,000 flying swallows to ride.
Ten years ago, Feiyan was a tall and well-equipped cavalryman, an expeditionary force specially selected by his father, good at raiding thousands of miles, and attacking the enemy unprepared. Before his father's death, the emperor reorganized the 20,000 soldiers and horses and scattered them into the Praetorian Guard. And, handed over the tiger talisman of this army to the general and waited for Yang Yin.
However, Feiyan Cavalry is a cavalry, and after ten years of recuperation, its combat effectiveness has long been declining. If you continue to stay in the capital, let alone fight in the field in the future, it is estimated that even the thieves will not be killed. How many **** nights does it take for a cavalry to train and kill the enemy on the front line.
It's a pity, it's a pity.
He has always wanted to give full play to the role of Feiyan Cavalry, but unfortunately his father's will cannot be violated, so he can only go to great lengths to find the secret edict.
It's like auspicious rain from the sky, and now a person appears and lets him see the sun.
You don't have to move the Swift Rider away to get this team moving, and it can make it even more powerful.
He would like to thank the man who beat the drum for proposing to revise the strategy of Luojing's patrol.
"You're the one who beats the drums? Quote your name. ā
"The slave's name is Chunxi."
"It was you who proposed that Dali Temple should expand its establishment and restore the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses."
"It's just some superficial views of slaves and maids, and the emperor still needs to judge."
"I'm curious, how do you know the number of people in Luo Jing? There is also the official office of the imperial court, which you seem to know very well. ā
Chun Xi's heart is gradually settled, fortunately, the answers are ready.
"The slave maid grew up in the Feng family in Wuzhou, and the Feng family has a lot of books, and the slave and maid have benefited a lot from it. After coming to the capital, he followed the old lady, who treated the slaves and maids with kindness and guidance. So, knowing this. ā
The emperor nodded again and again, sighing. "The Feng family has cultivated people for a hundred years, which is really a blessing for me. Although you are a slave and a maidservant, you are loyal to your master's house, and you are affectionate and righteous. Very good. I am very satisfied with the Luojing patrol strategy you proposed. Whatever you desire, I will reward you greatly. ā
Chunxi was pleasantly surprised, bowed his head and said: "The slave maid only hopes that the emperor's holy body is healthy, the country of Dafeng continues, and the old lady is safe and sound." ā
The audience was dumbfounded.
This girl, how could she give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The emperor personally promised that he couldn't ask for anything he wanted.
Yuan Wang Ye smiled slightly.
The emperor became more and more overjoyed: "Okay, I will come to try the case of the old lady in person today." ā
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
There were more and more people on the stage, and the relevant people involved in the case were all taken aside.
Fu Manyan has been observing the emperor. At a glance at the emperor's sitting posture, he knew that he was an extremely self-disciplined person. How did such an emperor, who was diligent and thrifty and self-denying, lose the country? In order to change the past life that the master said, we need to know more about the intermediate links.
Looking up again, she saw her good second uncle, staggering and kneeling on the stage.
"Fu Zhongde, the property found in Dali Temple's house yesterday, but you bribed him?"
"Wechen is ashamed, Wechen doesn't know about it at all."
"But the silver ticket was taken out by your wife from Wansheng Bank, and it has the mark of the money bank on it."
Wang took a step on his knees. "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged. Two people died in the mansion last month, this kind of thing is always not suitable for publicity, the Lord Duan Cheng worked hard to investigate the case, and the concubines just let them buy some tea to drink. In any big house, it is all this etiquette, how can this be considered a bribe? ā
"How much hard-earned money did you give?"
"It's just two hundred taels of silver tickets."
Two hundred taels is nothing for the princes and nobles. It's just that this number ......
The emperor didn't want to get entangled with her, so he looked directly at the broken man. "After the two people died in the Anping Hou Mansion, it was you who told the people of the Fu family that the case is suspenseful, and I am afraid that it was done by ghosts and gods? Then, Master Fu invited the mage to the mansion to exorcise evil spirits? ā
The broken man opened his mouth and stammered, "This, this ......"
"Investigating the case is your duty, but you take the opportunity to collect money and silver, park the body of the deceased at will, and blame the murderer to the ghosts. That's how you investigated the case, no wonder Chunxi said that Dali Temple was derelict in duty and bullied the people. In my opinion, these three sins are true. ā
The emperor's attitude, several jury officials already knew that no one dared to intercede with Dali Temple at this time.
Anyway, the spring joy who beat the drum was a blessing in disguise.
The emperor is holding the file in his hand, but he is dialing his own little Jiujiu in his heart.
The most important thing in this Dengwengu incident is to help him solve the big problem of Feiyan riding, and secondly, he can also take the opportunity to break the superstitious atmosphere of Dafeng, so that the people can imperceptibly weaken their trust in ghosts and gods.
As for washing up the grievances for Mrs. Feng, it's just incidental.
The emperor put down the file and said, "The old lady is old, let's sit down." As for the rumors, I want to hear from you first. ā
The old lady stood up. "The old body is terrified, how the old marquis walked, and when he left, the old body doesn't know at all." (To be continued.) )
