No matter how secretive Mizi is, such a huge power, such a huge flow of wealth, unless people don't pay attention, once they notice you and have the heart to investigate, how can it be leaky? At that time, this crime was cleared, but another crime was added, and the result would not be better than now, and now it can be determined that it is a false accusation, and then there will really be no way to refute it.

Why did Yakotsu give her such a huge fortune? He Yao'er is just a little female guard, even if Mi Zixuan, a big businessman, wants to find a backer and seek convenience in business, it is absolutely impossible to find her...... Isn't it self-defeating?

Seeing that he hesitated, Zhang Dazhuang smiled and said: Miss Yao'er, you can believe me, that person asked me to say a word to you: When the peach blossoms bloomed that year, I was waiting for you!

"When the peach blossoms bloomed that year, I was waiting for you......" Yao'er's heart couldn't help but stir.

Zhang Dazhuang was silent for a moment and said: Yao'er, can you talk now?

Yao'er already believed that he was the one who was bought by Pei Kun, but how could she say this to Pei Kun? Even if she put it together, it still won't help, and it is impossible for Mi Zixuan to stand up and admit it, otherwise the whole incident will be revealed, and he will still be finished, and he will have to drag a large group of people to accompany the funeral.

Zhang Dazhuang said hurriedly: Time is pressing, Miss Yao'er, you can't delay!

Yao'er said: The reason for this is really indescribable, and the person who gave it to my store pù...... It's a wealthy merchant in the Western Regions, and I really can't mention his identity, and the reason why he gave me his property...... Alas! In short, this qiē really has nothing to do with rebellion.

Yao'er swallowed. I really didn't know how to explain it, Zhang Dazhuang said hesitantly, "That person said to me." Whoever gives you a great gift will have something to ask for you. You are the internal guard of the forbidden army, no matter who asks for you, it will be difficult to publicize what you want, so people have long expected that you will be difficult to speak!

Yao'er looked at Zhang Dazhuang in surprise. Pei Kun is smart and erudite, but his talent is not reflected in these aspects, this man who grew up in the deep palace since he was a child actually expected the enemy to be the first. Even her reaction has already been guessed?

Zhang Dazhuang said: The man confessed, if it is inconvenient for you to say it, then don't say it. Only, when you're on trial. In any case, you must do what I have taught you.

Yao'er hurriedly said: Please speak!

Zhang Dazhuang said: If you are tried in court. When asked about the origin of this shop, you just bite it because it was a gift from a nobleman, if people ask about the person's name, surname, and identity, you will not tell the truth!

Yao'er bowed her head and said: I remember!

Zhang Dazhuang said hurriedly: Don't bite this sentence, otherwise you will be saved!

Zhang Dazhuang walked out quickly, and a deacon asked lazily: You kid, why are you rubbing for half a day?

Zhang Dazhuang pressed his belt with his hand and said: I just have some internal urgency. By the way, I solved it in the corner!

……

Executed in seven days!

The people in Taiwan have already learned the news, and there is a sudden cry of wailing.

Tian Qiniang wants to hang a group of rebellious ministers and thieves. After the decree to abandon the city for three days was issued, the upper and lower levels of the imperial history platform were busy.

Because Guan Bo passed on the bloody book, the king became suspicious, and sent the prison doctor Zhu Qing to the imperial history platform to investigate whether the officials were tortured to extract confessions. In the name of the detained officials, the queen issued an order for the execution, but in fact, there are still many prisoners who have not pleaded guilty or even been tried.

Jun Xiachen had to recall all the imperial histories and quickly go through all the procedures that should be taken through this interrogation, because the transcripts of these interrogations, confessions and other necessary elements must be handed over to the Kou Qing Palace for the record, in case one day the king on a whim, and then send an official who is proficient in criminal prison to read the case file, the requirements are not complete, and the king will definitely be able to find out that the verdict is sloppy.

Before Tian Qiniang took control of the government, the imperial history was only responsible for detailing the case and impeaching officials, and whether a person was guilty or not had to be tried by Kou Qing Palace, and the death row prisoner had to be decided by the king, and the death penalty could only be executed after this trial.

After Tian Qiniang became the emperor, in order to crack down on the opposition more conveniently, the power of serving the imperial history was strengthened, and the approval process of the death penalty was simplified. Since then, the Imperial History has the triple power of investigation, trial, and law enforcement, and has the right to execute the prisoner on the spot, and the prisoner has no right to appeal.

The reason why Jun Xia Chen was able to cover the sky with one hand was precisely because Yu Shitai held this kind of power of life and death.

Huang Xuanqian, who is in his early fifties this year, is thin and clear-looking, so he looks relatively young, and he looks only about his forties.

Hou Sizhi is actually not fat, but his cheeks are sunken, his chin is pointed, and his beard is sparse, which is inevitably dwarfed by Huang Xuanqi's dignified appearance.

Jun Xia Chen in the court as a lonely minister, no party and no faction, in order to show loyalty to Tian Qi Niang, Huang Xuanqian in the small court of Yushitai is like the second Jun Xia minister, he is also not a party and does not establish a faction, he just wants to form a party and there is no way to form a party, because the entire Yushitai, except for him, all the officials are attached to Jun Xiachen.

Well...... now...... Trial......

Hou Sizhi pretended to flip through the roster of prisoners. Waiting for the scribe next to him to prompt, there was a sudden explosion in his ears, which frightened Hou Sizhi, Huang Xuanqian slapped the startled wood hard, put his face on his face, and shouted with full anger: Come on! Mention people to commit Yao'er!

Hou Sizhi glanced at Huang Xuanqian angrily, flicked his sleeves, and twisted his head to the side.

After a while, Yao'er's handcuffs and shackles were brought to the court with a clangling sound, Huang Xuanqian reached out to take the shocking wood, Hou Sizhi was quick with his hands, grabbed the shocking wood, slapped it on the ground, and shouted: Yao'er, the criminal, don't kneel down to be tried!

Huang Xuanqian coughed and said: Hou Yushi, this is not a canonization ceremony of respecting heaven and earth, worshiping ancestors or the imperial court, why do you still kneel, do you need to kneel when the suspect goes to court? How can this official not know! Every time Zhongcheng sees the king, he must perform a five-body bow, which is Zhongcheng's tribute to the king in his unique way, above the court. You and I can't enforce the law.

Hou Sizhi was ridiculed by him, and his thin face was red like a monkey's buttocks, but what Huang Xuanqian said was reasonable. Hou Sizhi had no choice but to shout to Yao'er: Prisoner Yao'er, today you have led the commander Sun Huahua to sue you for conspiring with her, wanting to rebel against the party, form a rebellion, and subvert the Qi country, can you admit your guilt?

Huang Xuanqian said slowly and logically: Hou Yushi. You haven't asked your name and surname yet, what are you anxious about?

Hou Sizhi couldn't bear it. Said: This person is Yao'er, can there be anything wrong?

Huang Xuanqian stroked his beard and said leisurely: Yes, there is a mistake, the procedure that should be taken still has to be followed. The officer asks about the case. Always meticulous!

Hou Si stopped and threw down the shocking wood, brushed his sleeves and said: You test! You've got it!

Huang Xuanqian asked Yao'er's name, surname, place of origin, and current position from beginning to end, and the scribe next to him verified that it was correct, so he repeated his charges and asked: Can you plead guilty?

Yao'er stood firmly in the hall and replied in a deep voice: "My lord, the little woman is not guilty!"

Huang Xuanqi's two thick eyebrows raised slightly. Asked: Acknowledgment of innocence, what is the meaning of this?

Yao'er said: I have never sinned. Naturally innocent! Although the little woman once served under Sun Huahua, she had no personal relationship with her, let alone plotted rebellion with her, Sun Huahua's confession was all because she was tortured and bitten indiscriminately, I was wronged, and I asked the imperial envoy to investigate.

Huang Xuanqian said slowly: Sun Huahua died of a sudden epidemic, and she can't confront you anymore......

After speaking, he looked at Yao'er again, and said loudly: Yao'er, the prisoner of crime, don't be lucky, thinking that you can get away with it! You said that there was no rebellion, so you accepted bribes from others, so where did the several stores you suddenly owned in Nanshi come from?

Yao'er said: What do you say about the shop...... It's a gift from a noble man!

Hou Sizhi asked: Who is your noble name, where does your family live, and why did you give it to you?

Yao'er said: This is Yang's private matter, and it is inconvenient to tell you!

Hou Sizhi was furious, slapped the shocked wood, and shouted: Yao'er, don't you toast and don't eat and drink, do you have to suffer some flesh and skin before you are willing to tell the truth obediently? Someone!

Wait!

Huang Xuanqian spoke again: Hou Yushi, this is a major case of rebellion. The matter is serious, if the punishment is hastily used, the suspect will not be punished, and he will confess against his will, and he will inevitably wronged the good person, and the official thinks that it is appropriate to collect more real evidence, so that he has no way to refute it, and he will bow his head and confess his guilt.

Hou Sizhi glanced at Huang Xuanqian, and said in a weird manner: According to you, how should I collect evidence?

Huang Xuanqian said: I want to know who gave him the pù of Yao'er's shop, have you ever sent someone to Lin'an Mansion to check the books and check who transferred it from?

Hou Sizhi held back his anger and whispered to him: Xu Yushi, Zhongcheng is in a hurry to close the case, you don't know, you are not embarrassing Hou, you are against Zhongcheng!

Huang Xuanqian said casually: A certain case is just judged impartially, how can you talk about going against Zhongcheng?

Hou Sizhi said in a low voice: Do you think Hou is so stupid that he doesn't know how to check the store pù door contract, I have already checked it! The problem is, there is no such person! The line is broken, you know? Sun Huahua has already admitted that Yao'er is their accomplice, can this person be bad for rebellion? After beating her with a board, the case was closed, so why bother?

Hou Sizhi's remarks are also justified, because based on facts, this is a judgment basis that only appeared in modern law, and what was the main basis for the judgment at that time?

It's a confession!

The so-called crime is determined by confession, so Jun Xia Chen racked his brains and spared no effort to come up with a large number of inhuman torture instruments to force confessions. Therefore, although Tian Qiniang didn't see any evidence, she only saw the confessions drawn by the ministers and pressed their fingerprints, so she made a ruling as a matter of course.

Hou Sizhi whispered this and lowered his posture, which was considered to have given Huang Xuanqian enough face, but Huang Xuanqian did not appreciate it, and said coldly: If it is not in line with the law, it is not allowed!

Hou Sizhi had been holding back for a long time, and when he saw him so unsympathetic, he couldn't help but be furious. When he was in the street and selling cakes for a living, Hou Sizhi stood up suddenly, stepped on the chair with one foot, rolled up his sleeves, and said angrily: Do you think that if you understand the royal law, Hou someone will not understand the royal law? I remember that if the prisoner is cunning and does not recruit, he can be punished.

Huang Xuanqian saw him put on a splashy look, not in a hurry or annoyed, and nodded slowly: Not bad! It can be tortured, torture can be done once every 20 days, no more than three times in total, and the total number of rods must not exceed 200 rods, and if torture results in death, the presiding judge is not responsible! So you know this rule, right?

Yes? Ah......, this official ...... Of course the officer knows!

Hou Sizhi is basically illiterate, otherwise he would not have made a joke about Ouyang Cheng sitting while interrogating Ouyang Xin, and he, the chief judge, was standing and being trained. In fact, he really didn't know what Huang Xuanqian said, he only knew that he could indeed torture to extract confessions.

Now that Huang Xuanqian has also confirmed this, Hou Sizhi is even more confident, he sneered, gave a look to the officials in front of the hall, grabbed the startled wood and slapped it vigorously, and shouted: Come on! Use a staff for Yao'er and beat this shrew until she moves!

Huang Xuanqian said slowly: What if Yao'er doesn't recruit?

Hou Sizhi said: Then let's beat two hundred rods!

Hou Sizhi is so arrogant, although he is angry and a little reckless, but it is also because he has some support. After Mu Shangxuan made a big fuss in Taiwan last time, he was worried that Junxia's ministers would obey him, so he sent people to visit Yao'er every day, but since the king confirmed the charge of rebellion and ordered the execution, Mu Shangxuan has not sent anyone again, and it seems that he has also become jealous. With this section, Hou Sizhi's courage is enough.

Huang Xuanqian said slowly: The iron body can't afford to beat two hundred canes in a row, not to mention this little weak woman, Hou Yushi, you are clearly going to beat him to death in the court?

Hou Sizhi said loudly: What if I, Hou someone, beat her to death here?

Huang Xuanqian stood up suddenly, and shouted: Huang Xuanqian is here, this person can't die!

Hou Sizhi shouted: Execution!

Huang Xuanqian shouted: Who dares!

Hou Sizhi grabbed a handful of sticks and threw them to the bottom of the hall, and shouted angrily: Torture immediately! Hit 100 first, and if you don't move, hit 100 again!

Huang Xuanqian grabbed a handful of sticks and threw them down the hall, and said loudly: Drag Hou Sizhi down, strip off his official clothes, and hit the sixty boards again!

The two presiding judges on the top were first arguing with each other, and then the swords were rattling, and the deacons on both sides of the officers with big red sticks looked at the sticks jumping all over the ground, looking at each other, not knowing which official to listen to.

Hou Sizhi pointed to Huang Xuanqian's nose and said: Huang Xuanqian, you dare to shield criminals?

Huang Xuanqian waved his hand like a fly, and said: This official enforces the law impartially, how can he cover it up?

Hou Sizhi pointed at Yao'er and shouted: This official wants to interrogate a confession, but you obstruct it, isn't this a cover-up?

Huang Xuanqian said: According to the prison law of my great Qi law, when interrogating a criminal prisoner, you must first use your feelings, judge his reasoning, and repeatedly refer to it, but if it is still undecided, the matter needs to be interrogated, file a case, and take the same judgment as the chief, and then torture the offender, and the violator will be given sixty rods! What's wrong with this officer? (To be continued......)
