The court tried the case

Looking at the blue sky outside the door, the lush green is finally coming to an end at the end of summer, and when King Jing has decided to leave, Mo Wu said to Chen Yuewen: "If there is such a strange person in the future, you must inform the palace in time." ”

"I don't understand, that Nong Yi is just a low-end petty official, not to mention that he is not even an official now, he can only grow a few acres of grain, why do Niangniang and King Jing value it so much?"

Chen Yuewen didn't refute the duty of just being a slave at that time, but the two of them hit it off like this, and they still had some doubts: "What if the yield per mu is 1,000 catties?" In the palace and the palace, is there still a rare harvest? For this, I have to conflict with the King of Wei, who is not happy about good things, and I feel that it is not worth it. ”

"The people take food as the sky, and is there anyone more important than the sky in the world?"

Mo Wu said this, but his eyes were looking out of the window, as if muttering to himself, and as if explaining to the people around him, "Wei Wangfei is arrogant, as a prince, he has the heart to win the country, but he has no concept of governing the country, and he can win the support of so many people, and the country is unfortunate." ”

The remaining two people wanted to comfort them, but in the end neither of them spoke again.

After understanding the details, Mo Wu thought of a way, asked someone to invite King Jing, discussed it again, agreed on the date of arraignment and some related cooperation, and King Jing bowed and left.

Three days later, the Xuanwu Hall was in the early dynasty.

The emperor was not in the court, and the early dynasty was co-presided over by King Jing and King Wei, and the two of them often disagreed, so the early dynasty often became a conflict between the two major forces and a mediation meeting with a third party.

It's just that today's early dynasty is different from the past, next to the dragon chair that has been empty, there is an extra red lacquer carved Taishi chair today, on which sits the queen of the dynasty wearing a green court dress and a nine-pearl phoenix crown.

It is not a strange thing that the queen is in the court, but the emperor is not there, and the queen is in the court, which is obviously inappropriate.

"The emperor is about to return to the court in the near future, the queen mother, you are doing this to the court, what is the so-called matter?"

No matter how much there was discussion, there was a huge disparity in identity, only King Wei stepped forward and asked with a prickly needle.

The queen's eyes turned down slightly, she just glanced at her contemptuously, then moved her gaze to the door of the main hall, and said seemingly unintentionally: "This palace heard that the emperor will return to the court tomorrow, and I want to know a little about the court, so it's good to meet, it's not too rusty, there is a topic for discussion." ”

It is natural that Mo Wu can say things that should be obscure, even if King Wei can't find a good reason to refute for a while, not to mention that Mo Wu's hostility towards her is also undisguised, it was not his arrangement to lure her to Xiling in the first place, but she didn't die, and he didn't blame him for this hostility, and now the most important opponent, he also knows that it is King Jing and not the queen, so he naturally doesn't want to go too far, "What Niangniang said is, I just want to know something, so that you can discuss with the emperor?" ”

"There is King Jing in the army, the court only has the King of Wei, the money has the King of Duan, the emperor has you genius brothers, the palace naturally has nothing to talk about, but yesterday Guanxi Ling and the palace letter, saying that there can be people in Xijun to plant grain in the mountains, the yield per mu is more than 500 catties, an acre of land, three or four acres of other people's homes, is a strange person, I want the palace and the emperor to recommend one or two, but I don't want to inquire, has been locked up on death row, and there are many doubts, so I want to know more, if it is really a bad person, then it's just that, if there is a grievance, It also lived up to the kindness of the people of Xijun. ”

Mo Wu said in a serious voice, "It's just that this palace is just a little bit of a skin, I don't know if you adults, but you know the details." ”

Guanxi Ling is the most powerful bandit in Xijun, even the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court have also been defeated in his hands, since he was taken away by the Ba Yun army and the queen together, I don't know what Mo Wu did, calmly returned to the imperial court, and repeatedly made great achievements in resisting the Ba Yun army, won the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of the West County, and he was originally a farmer, and it is logical to recommend it to people who are prolific in farming.

Naturally, no one doubted that he was saying it.

This matter is not a military matter, Mo Wu came to ask, and it did not seem to interfere in the government affairs, some people who knew about this matter naturally went forward to explain what they knew clearly, and also expressed their steadfastness in front of the queen.

Mo Wu nodded again and again when he heard this, but he was a little ethereal, as if he didn't care about it at all.

casually honorifized, King Wei said: "This matter is in broad daylight, everyone is watching, and there is no doubt, if Niangniang wants to know something else, Weichenβ€”β€”"

"Who says there are no doubts?"

The queen mother, who was still a little misty just now, became serious at the moment, "That Nong Yi is also a scholar who can farm, and that Qian Yongke is a hereditary marquis, and the palace heard that his battle when he went out in Kanglin was like a first-grade general, that is, ordinary second-grade officials are not comparable, a bunch of people are guarding, and the sedan chair is carried, just in broad daylight, Leng let a scholar kill him?" ”

"It's-"

King Wei is running out of words.

"The queen is reasonable, not to mention a scholar, she is a master of the rivers and lakes, and killing people in broad daylight will make some movements, what Weichen heard about is that Qian Yong is dead, and there is not even a stall around, this matter is indeed a bit intriguing."

King Duan was puzzled, "If this person can grow such a high-yield thing in Xijun, it is indeed a pity that he died unjustly." ”

As long as it involves things related to money, King Duan is also concerned, but he also knows the relationship between Qian Yong's cousin and King Wei, and he doesn't want to lose a big deal because of a small loss, so he didn't make a sound, and now that the queen provokes it first, he naturally wants to echo it.

A local tyrant in the countryside, no official and no character, empty title, inherited the kindness of his ancestors, relying on distant relatives with King Wei, in a place like Kanglin, where officialdom is complicated, the posture can be a big man, saying that it is absolutely false to say that he is not used to it, Duan Wang has spoken, and the bold nature is also seconded.

King Wei's face was ugly, and King Jing added fuel to the fire, "If such strange people are really wiped out because of unjust, false and wrongful cases, it is my Fuyue who is unknown, and the minister earnestly asks for a review." ”

King Jing's faction also seconded it.

After some disputes, Shang Shu Xia of the Criminal Department came out and said: "The trial should have been a matter between the Criminal Department and the Daimyo, but that Qian Yong was a hereditary marquis of the generations, so it was handed over to the Daimyo for trial, since the queen and the princes have objections, it is better to hand it over to the Criminal Department and the Daimyo for trial together, how about the queen and the princes jointly supervise the trial?" ”

Mo Wu's brain was flying, his eyes were warm, and he raised his hand and said that he could not refuse: "Then this matter will be handed over to Lord Xia and Lord Duan to be tried together, and immediately mention Nong Yi and related people, etc., and this palace will personally supervise the trial!" ”

"Immediate trial?!"

The whole hall was in an uproar.

"Isn't there nothing else going on today?! Those who want to retreat from the dynasty can retreat immediately, and those who want to watch the trial will be respected! ”

She is the county lord of Jing Yao, and she is the queen above 10,000 people under Fuyue, she is really domineering, and her momentum is compelling.

King Wei had a cold sweat in his heart, he did not get involved in Nong Yi's affairs, but the queen obviously interrogated Nong Yi immediately in order to target herself, it seems that her relationship with the new queen has frozen, if you want to control the court, this person must be removed.

It's just that this matter should be retreated and advanced, and at this moment he is also chaotic in his heart.

Aiming at the two princes around him again, King Jing stayed out of the matter, King Duan was full of interest, and he thought in his heart that this matter must not let the grass people queen wish, the famous Duan Shijie is his own person, and the judge is also the person who killed his cousin, although the Xia Ji has not been able to use it for himself, but it is also famous for being fair, killing people during the day, what kind of mess can it really be reversed?

The prison is not far away, Nong Yi is dressed in gray prison clothes, black iron chains, and is escorted to the main hall soon, the officials of the main hall except for those who are really on official business, basically stayed, the first time someone tried the case in the court, the eunuchs looked at the chair again, naturally stayed to watch, and left that Nong Yi standing in the middle of the main hall, as if the precious animals of the zoo were for people to watch.

After a while, the man in gray prison clothes looked around at the various characters in the hall, all of them were big officials he had never seen in the small field of Xijun, his eyes were stagnant without focus, and the person knelt down straight, although the shackles pressed his body, his spine was straight, even if he knew what was waiting for him under this staircase, he was not afraid.

Formulaic process, Duan Shijie has already received a hint from King Wei, not to mention that it is his cousin who died, how can he condone it?

!

After a few words, he reprimanded: "Diao Min, you are guilty." ”

Nong Yi said frankly, "The grass people are not Diao people, and they are not guilty. ”

Seeing him retort, Duan Shijie was furious, and said in shock: "Bold, you obviously confessed to your guilt before, but now you actually go back on your word, and you still quibble about killing people in public, it seems that it is not possible to use punishment!" Come on, give me the first 30 boards, see if he recruits or not?! ”

Without waiting for Xia Ji, who was also on the side, to speak, the queen mother above the main hall stopped the tolerance of preparing for the execution.

"Niangniang doesn't know, this person is a bad person, he killed people in public, he had already confessed his guilt, and now he is quibbling, it's really hateful, no punishment, I'm afraid he won't recruit it."

Duan Shijie got up and explained.

Mo Wu gave him a roll of his eyes coldly, "It's not secretly poisoning, killing people in the dark, since you kill people in public, there must be a lot of people who see it, just pass a few and ask, my lord, look at his body, you don't need thirty boards, this palace can sentence him to be executed by looking at more than twenty boards, isn't it too hasty?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Duan Shijie hurriedly responded, "What does Niangniang mean?" ”

"Ask the witnesses, you are the one who is trying the case, and this palace is only supervising the trial."

Mo Wu said impatiently.

The witnesses naturally came slower than the prisoners, but the cadres of the Qian family came in time, and ten people before and after entered the hall in an orderly manner under the leadership of the palace people, kneeling with the demeanor of a large family.

Duan Shijie's questioning was also very smooth, and all the testimonies showed that Nong Yi killed Qian Yong.

After the relevant questioning was completed, Duan Shijie got up again and asked the queen and several princes for their opinions, and several of them had no opinions.

"Nong Yi, what Qian Yong's slave said, but it's the truth?"

Shang Shu Xia Ji of the Criminal Department asked.

"Yes."

Nong Yi Road.

"Since you admit that you killed Qian Yong, are you guilty?"

Xia Ji asked again.

"Although the grass people killed Qian Yong, the grass people are not guilty."

Nong Yi Road.

The hall was in an uproar, and Qian Yong's mother almost jumped up and was about to tear him up in the court, but she was pressed by the guards in front of the palace, and it was not easy to control the scene, Xia Ji asked again, "Since you admit to murder, why do you claim that you are not guilty?" ”
