Chapter 41: Sophistry
After waiting for a while, Jiang Bingwen hurried to the lobby, and there was still a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, obviously running all the way. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info arrived in the hall, Jiang Bingwen bowed to Gu Yunheng and asked respectfully, "I don't know why the prince summoned the officials to come?" ”
Gu Yunheng pointed at Zhao Chang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know this person?" ”
Jiang Bingwen glanced at Zhao Chang and said calmly: "Back to the prince, the lower officials have never seen this person. ”
Su Jinchun was a little impatient, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to quibble, this person is clearly sent by you to assassinate Jing Zhen, and you still don't admit it?" ”
Jiang Bingwen had a blank expression, frowned, and then said, "This girl can't wronged the court officials in vain." Who is Jing Zhen, the official has never heard of this name, how can he say that he is assassinated? ”
When Jing Zhen heard this, her face turned pale with anger, and she said hatefully: "You bastard, have you forgotten what you said and done to me?" When you arrived in this hall, you said that you didn't know me, and you lost your conscience when you said this. ”
Jiang Bingwen raised his eyes and looked at Jing Zhen, with a look of disgust, and said coldly: "This girl, you recognize the wrong person, I am an official of the imperial court." Do you know what is the crime of insulting and slandering the officials of the court? ”
Gu Yunheng coughed, slapped the shocked wood, and said in a deep voice: "Master Jiang, you are also a person who works in the Criminal Department, don't you understand the rules in the court." What is the guilt of the question, can you, a person standing in the hall, ask, this king is still sitting here? ”
Jiang Bingwen hurriedly said: "The prince forgives the sin, the lower official was excited for a while, and he lost his sense of proportion, and asked the prince to forgive me." ”
Only then did Gu Yunheng continue: "Jinchun, this king has already let Lord Jiang come to the court as you requested, and since you keep saying that this assassin was instructed by Lord Jiang, come up with evidence now." ”
Su Jinchun blurted out: "The witness is here, what evidence do you need, not to mention that this person also said that he was instructed by Jiang Bingwen, Jing Zhen and I, as well as the servants in my house, can testify." ”
As soon as Su Jinchun's words fell, Jiang Bingwen said: "The words of the assassin, how can you be gullible, maybe he deliberately framed and planted the blame, this king doesn't know you at all, how can he send someone to assassinate you, it's just nonsense." ”
At this time, I only heard Zhao Chang say loudly: "My lord, I have never said that I was instructed by others, one person does things and one person is responsible, I sneaked into Miss Sufu's boudoir last night, yes, I was planning to rape Miss Sufu, who expected to be discovered, so I killed the killer." As a result, Miss Sufu's martial arts skills were extremely high, subduing me, and insisting that I was instructed by someone, in fact, all of this was Miss Sufu's speculation. ”
Su Jinchun stared at Zhao Chang and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, you are clearly here to kill people and kill people, you are really loyal enough, your master doesn't care about your life or death at all, and he still says that he doesn't know you, and you still do your best to defend him." Do you know that the punishment for the principal offender and the accessory is different, and if you are instructed by someone, you can be given a lighter sentence, but if you are the principal offender, committing such a crime is a dead end? You have to think about it. ”
Zhao Chang said fearlessly: "What does the girl mean is that I want me to frame Lord Jiang for the sake of my own lenient punishment, saying that I was instructed by Lord Jiang?" The girl's idea is wrong, although I am a thief, I also have some morality in my heart. I have committed such a crime, and there is nothing to say about it, even if I confess the capital crime. Let me frame a good person, I would never do such a thing. ”
Su Jinchun's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You, you, you did something harmful to others, and you also shielded the main culprit, a person like you, Ling Chi's execution is a light sentence for you." ”
Gu Yunheng was shocked and said loudly: "Above the public court, what kind of noisy and noisy thing has become. This matter is the king's own judgment. Now that the assassin had confessed to his crime and insisted that he had nothing to do with Lord Jiang, the king could not be defeated. In this way, the king now makes the following verdict: This assassin broke into a private house in the middle of the night, plotted against him, and attempted to kill people, and was immediately put into a prison, and the queen of the autumn was beheaded. ”
After saying this, Gu Yunheng stood up and said in a deep voice: "Retreat." ”
Su Jinchun's hands clenched into fists, seeing Gu Yunheng brushing his sleeves away, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Bingwen hatefully, snorted coldly, and said word by word: "Don't be complacent, you will get retribution sooner or later." ”
Jiang Bingwen sneered: "This girl, I, Jiang someone, is doing something right, and I have never been afraid of retribution." ”
Jing Zhen looked at Jiang Bingwen and said: "It's that I can't help you because of insufficient evidence, but don't forget, there are gods three feet above your head, you do such a bad thing, aren't you afraid that at night, Hui'er will turn into a ghost and seek revenge on you?" ”
Jiang Bingwen was noncommittal, glanced at Jing Zhen, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
Su Jinchun and Jing Zhen just walked out of Dali Temple and met Jiang Xing head-on. Seeing Jiang Xing's anxious look, Su Jinchun stopped and asked casually, "What's going on, Jiang Sizheng looks very anxious?" ”
Jiang Xing saw that it was Su Jinchun who asked, sighed, and then said: "Just now Zhou Shao sent someone to tell me that a case is a missing case, originally this kind of case was directly tried by Shuntianfu, but this time it was a little different, so it was reported to Dali Temple." ”
Su Jinchun asked, "The disappearance case?" Since it has been reported to Dali Temple, it can be seen that this case is extraordinary, who is missing? ”
Jiang Xingzheng said: "Yes, it is the young lady of the Zhongwu General's family who is missing, and now the two families are in a hurry, and they send people to Shuntian Mansion three times a day to inquire, Zhou Shao has sent officials to search the whole city, but nothing has been found, so I have to ask the prince to help investigate." ”
Su Jinchun was confused, and asked again: "Since the young lady of General Zhongwu's family is missing, General Zhongwu should be anxious, why do you say that there are two families, and who is the other one?" ”
Jiang Xing explained: "Miss Su doesn't know that the young lady of General Zhongwu's family was married to the eldest son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials not long ago, so when these two families heard that Miss Chu was missing, they were very anxious, and they also sent people from the palace to assist Shuntian Mansion in finding it. ”
Su Jinchun sighed, looked thoughtful, and then said, "I know, you can go busily." ”
Immediately afterwards, Su Jinchun and Jing Zhen went straight to the palace, and when they arrived at the main house, they didn't see Gu Yunheng's figure, they ran to the bedroom to take a look, but there was no. After thinking about it, Su Jinchun walked to the study, and sure enough, he saw Gu Yunheng lying on the couch in the study, looking worried.
Su Jinchun immediately said: "The prince is so interested, he still has the heart to lie here and let the murderer do nothing." ”
Gu Yunheng frowned, and then said: "I knew that you would come again, and you also saw it, it's not that I don't distinguish between right and wrong, but you can't come up with sufficient evidence, and there is no evidence, and I can't decide the case." ”
Su Jinchun glanced at Gu Yunheng and said in a deep voice: "I'll just ask the prince, do you believe that Jiang Bingwen is the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
Gu Yunheng said lightly: "This king only believes in evidence. ”
Su Jinchun snorted, but said with a smile: "Okay, the prince only believes the evidence, then tonight, please listen to Jiang Bingwen's confession!" ”
