Chapter 707: Defeat and retreat
. The text reminded me that today is the last day of this month, and the monthly pass will expire and be invalid if you don't vote, and then dare to have a book friend shouting in the group in the early hours of tomorrow morning: "I forgot the time!" The monthly pass is wasted! "I'm going to call on everyone to beat you up to with a "stick." One. Lu Zhen listened for a while, leaned towards Chen Ying, leaned towards the opposite side, Xue Pin, who was sitting on the other side of Chen Ying, immediately came over, Lu Zhen asked in a low voice: "Ah...... Lord Xue, have you ever tried such a case in Dali Temple? ”
"No, what about the Criminal Department?"
"Neither!"
The two of them sat up straight, coughed in unison, and leaned towards Chen Ying together: "Lord of the Ministry, the two sides have their own arguments for confrontation, and if there is no corroboration, this battle will not be over even if it is fought until next year, so we might as well ...... Please go to court, this case is going to be closed today! ”
Chen Ying smiled and said, "The two adults are reasonable, come on, take Yang Xu to the hall!" ”
Yang Xu went to the court, although he was only restricted from freedom now, but after all, he was a suspect, and there was no seat in the court, but no one dared to let him kneel and reply, this rule was deliberately ignored by the three chief judges and the officials on the station.
Xia Xun went to the court to be tried, so he naturally couldn't wear an official uniform, so he wore a moon-white sè Taoist uniform, his head was raised, and only a hairpin was inserted, probably staying in the temple for a while.
Chen Ying stated to Xia Xun the confessions he had taken from Zhu Tu, Chen Yunan, Xu Zeheng and others, and Xia Xun had been standing there calmly, waiting for Chen Ying to speak, but he exploded.
He stared at Zhu Tu and sneered, "White Lotus Sect? Since you have turned out all the sesame seeds and rotten grains, you should know that Yang Mou has known Tang Chen's family for a long time, Tang Chen's family was taken home by the Potai bully Qiu Qiu, and Yang Moulu rescued her from injustice, if Lin Yuqi's younger brother Tang Yaoju's family is also a White Lotus Sect, with such demonic arts, will the Tang family's lady still be taken away by the bully who sees sè's intentions? ”
Thanks to the propaganda and rendering of the demonization of the White Lotus Sect by the imperial court, in the minds of the good people, the White Lotus Sect is all some demons, proficient in some demon techniques, and specializes in harming the good people's surname. But the lady of the Tang family was taken back to the house by a squire bully, and it was thanks to Xia Xun to save her back, if her family is a demon, it is very inconsistent with the propaganda of the imperial court.
Zhu Tu was stunned, and before he could defend himself, Xia Xun turned to Chen Yunan again, and asked: "You said that you took a gift and reported your name and surname casually, and you mixed in with the condolences crowd, which shows that although the Peng family has a wide range of contacts, most of them are just ordinary business dealings, and they are not familiar with each other, if not, how can you easily blend in?" Lin Yuqi went to mourn, how could he be so close to you than you? Moreover, if the Peng family really has such a secret identity, dare to accept guests from all over the world? ”
As soon as Chen Yunan saw Xia Xun in person, he was half a cut shorter first, and he dared to argue with him, squeaked for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage, and just wanted to plead twice, Xia Xun turned to Chen Ying again: "Lord of the Ministry, the Peng family sent a message to Lin Yuqi, and they will specially tell them that a big man in the capital informed them?" The White Lotus Sect is a rebellion of the imperial court, once it is discovered, it will not be spared, this kind of news is rather credible than not.
Even if you mistakenly believe people's words, but burn some scriptures and Buddha statues, and these things can still be purchased when you turn around, but if it is a human head, then it will never grow again, and you still need to tell them specifically, what did the big people in the capital tell them? If the Peng family is really the White Lotus Sect, and they are so stupid in doing things, they don't know how long they have been cracked by the imperial court, and they are still allowed to be at large? This is clearly a trick made by Jinyi Wei and instructed him to falsely accuse Yang! ”
"Uh......"
Chen Ying raised his hand and was just about to speak, Xia Xun turned to Xu Zeheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Look at your green face, describe the withered, presumably after falling into the hands of Jinyiwei, you have suffered a lot?" Don't worry, this is not the Jinyi Guard, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this person sitting on the throne is not the Jinyi Guard's commander Ji Gang, but Lord Chen Ying of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, here, you have one to say, two to say, there is no need for any taboos, no one dares to punish you again! ”
"What?"
Xu Zeheng was moved when he heard this, but he subconsciously glanced at Zhu Tu next to him, and when he met his viper-like eyes, he suddenly shrank like an electric shock. The hellish punishment left a shadow of deep fear in his heart, and he was now a slang of Jinyiwei, and in his heart, there was no more terrible person than Jinyiwei.
The fear caused by this pain, through **, has been deeply imprinted in his heart, and has formed a kind of reflex-like instinct, he does not dare, he no longer dares to have the idea of resisting.
If through long-term abuse and oppression, it is not difficult to make a person afraid of him who does not dare to resist, but in such a short period of time, it can make a man who had the courage to confront the court become discouraged, lose his fear, and completely lose the courage to confront him, what kind of cruel punishment must be this?
When everyone paid attention to Xia Xun's scolding, among the people on the side, the half-dead old woman Qiu said something to Tang Sai'er in a low voice, Xia Xun's voice just fell, Tang Sai'er came out of the crowd, the tears on her face had not dried, and the crystal tears were still hanging on her childish cheeks, so she said in a childish and loud voice: "Master, I just saw Aunt Su holding the child outside, why don't you call Aunt Su to ask, if Uncle Lin is a demon bandit, can Aunt Su not know?" ”
"Xinchen is here too?"
Xu Zeheng, who was stared at by Zhu Tuyīn's cold gaze and lowered his head in fear, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes glowed with surprise.
At this moment, there is nothing else in his eyes!
Xu Zeheng was tortured but did not tell the truth, originally to avoid unbearable pain, he thought that he was not afraid of death, but he couldn't bear that kind of pain. However, when he confessed and no longer suffered torture, the hope of survival inevitably prevailed again.
Of course, it is very difficult for him to die, such an important witness, the guard is very strict, if he refuses to eat or use medicine, he is afraid of incurring more cruel torture from Jinyiwei.
But subconsciously, it's not because he still wants to live, even if he can live a little longer. Only those who have nothing to love will be bent on death, and Xu Zeheng has too many people and things that he can't let go of in his heart, he is worried about his elderly father, his lovely wife, and his young son, he is reluctant to die.
"Take Xu Su's family!"
Chen Ying gave an order, Su Xinchen slowly walked up to the hall with his son in his arms, Xu Zeheng had been held by the two servants with water and wooden sticks, and he couldn't move, but he still tried his best to twist his head and look back.
"Xianggong!"
As soon as he saw Xu Zeheng, Su Xinchen cried, hugged his son and rushed towards him, Xu Zeheng also struggled desperately, his body moved, the affected area on his body was torn, and the blood quickly penetrated the white linen prison clothes, but he didn't realize it, he just called out to his wife and son: "Lady! Morning Sail! Lady ......"
As soon as Su Xinchen saw her husband, tears suddenly left her eyes, she rushed to her husband uncharacteristically, but was tightly stopped by two officials, in a hurry, Su Xinchen finally remembered Dai Yubin's advice, and hurriedly shouted: "Xianggong, father-in-law was killed by officers and soldiers, and the slave family fled all the way to Jingshi, and complained to you!" Xianggong, why are you so confused, you can't be tortured, and you are beaten into a trick, does our family still have a way to live? ”
Zhu Tu couldn't hold back any longer, jumped up and roared: "Seal her mouth!" Shut her mouth! It's not in order! ”
Su Xinchen ignored it, and just screamed: "Xianggong, if you have three long and two short, what should you do if you call me and the child!" Xianggong, it is Chen Qingtian sitting in the hall, you have grievances to say, you have grievances to sue, Xianggong, for our family to live uprightly, for me and the children to ......" Speaking of this, the official grabbed her arm and sealed her mouth.
Chen Ying's face sank, the kind mask had been torn off, he glanced coldly at Zhu Tu, whose face was blue and frightened, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhu, you are just circumstantial evidence today, if you follow Yang Xu's counter-accusation, you are still a suspect in false accusations, how can you be allowed to roar loudly in this official hall, do you still have this in your eyes!" ”
Zhu Tu's eyes cracked, and he roared frantically: "Fart! Chen Ying! I know that you and I Jinyiwei have never dealt with each other, you are revenge, you want to avenge Zujie, you deliberately fix me, Chen Ying! I'm going to sue you, I ......"
He knew that Jinyiwei was going to lose, and they lost because the person they had to deal with was so difficult, but they didn't get strong evidence. If they had had a few pieces of physical evidence, the case would not be the situation it is today. But when they started, they really didn't expect that from the time they didn't go to Shandong, Xia Xun had already asked people to keep an eye on them, and when Xia Xun was still in Huzhou for disaster relief, he had already begun to destroy the evidence.
In vain they got it. Offer, immediately go to Potai to arrest people, I thought that nine out of ten would be ironclad evidence, but what I saw was just a blank field. did not get strong evidence, but refused to give up this rare opportunity, misjudged the situation of the emperor and Chen Ying on this case, and made a second mistake, so that he was so passive.
Chen Ying was furious, grabbed the startled wood and slapped it on the ground, and roared: "Come on, take down this roaring Zhu Tu, strip off the official uniform and wait for trial!" ”
The Metropolitan Procuratorate and Jinyiwei have already had a grudge, only because Chen Ying was ambiguous from the beginning of this case, and his subordinates did not dare to show anything, and now Chen Ying has made a statement, how can those poor people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate be polite? rushed up to lock up Zhu Tu, Zhu Tu was naturally bare-handed, but at this time, he was already like he had lost his mind, and the inexplicable fear forced him to just want to vent, and he was willing to tie his hands.
Thanks to the large number of officials in the court, and with big sticks and chains in their hands, they were kicked down three officials in a row, and they threw Zhu Tu to the ground, forcibly took off his official uniform, and tied him up with all kinds of flowers.
Xu Zeheng watched, watching the most terrible demon in his mind being stripped of his official uniform and detained on the spot, and there was a day when he was bound to die, and the heart-rending cry of the lady just sounded in his ears, and endless courage suddenly surged in his heart, he suddenly jumped up like crazy, only to hear the "click", and the water and fire stick firmly against the crook of his knee was actually broken by his tǐng body, how much strength is this? Shocked, the official took three steps back with a half-truncated stick.
Xu Zeheng hissed and roared: "Lord Qingtian! The people are wronged! The grass people are wronged! The grass people were beaten into a trick by the Jinyi guards, and the testimonies were all written by them and forced me to memorize them, the grass people were originally their own surname, and the grass people were wronged......"
Xu Zeheng was in jīdang, and he shouted out a word with all his might, spewing out a mouthful of blood mist with a "poof", and fell on his back!
