Chapter 255: The Queen's Hearing
Seeing that Tian Qiniang was faintly moved, Pei Kun said again: However, Pei Kun feels that the matter of prison is really about heaven. The only way to punish is the justice of heaven. Now that it has been proved that the judge may pervert the law, the king is the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven is the law, and the law is the Son of Heaven, and we must not blindly stick to the law, resulting in unjust imprisonment.
Pei Kun first stood in Tian Qiniang's point of view, completely considering her authority and interests. made an explanation, and then the wind of words changed, and the syntax was nothing more than human feelings, Tian Qiniang didn't resist it very much, but after thinking about it, she still didn't want to break the rules she made with her own hands. That was undoubtedly a personal denial of his authority, and he couldn't help but hesitate: You mean, the old woman can personally intervene in this case?
Pei Kun said obediently: How dare Pei Kun instigate the king to destroy the law and order. However, in Pei Kun's mind, if the king wants to pay a private visit and go to the back hall of the Shangqing Court to listen to the trial, the purpose is only to inspect the officials, and it will not be considered to interfere with the law. If there is any injustice on the part of the judges, I believe that the king will see it in his eyes and correct it even if they do not interfere.
Tian Qiniang understood what she meant as soon as she heard it, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: Xiao Xuan, you are old and seek the country, if I can't do without you, the old woman will definitely promote you to be the prime minister of the DPRK and China!
Tian Qiniang got up and said: The old woman hasn't been out of the palace for a long time, and she feels a little bored, so ...... Let's go to the Imperial Tower.
Mrs. Mu said: My daughter will go too!
Tian Qiniang turned her face and said: No! You give me an honest stay here, you are a princess, go to the Yushitai with your mother, what kind of name is it!
Mrs. Mu retreated in displeasure.
The Son of Heaven wants to travel, although it is a private visit, but he also has to be prepared. The entire palace suddenly became busy, and the general Tian Youyi hurriedly dispatched the elite escorts among the hundred horsemen. They all changed into civilian clothes and hid sharp blades. Prepare to drive out of the palace with you.
Tian Qiniang went back to the dormitory and changed into a men's dress, put on a soft foot curtain upright, and looked at the bronze mirror that was more than one person high, like a personable old scribe, but there was a beard under the chin, which slightly reduced the charm, Tian Qiniang sighed: The old woman has not worn men's clothes for many years.
Tuan'er said with a smile: The king's dress is graceful, if you go to the market. It's going to fascinate a lot of spring girls.
Tian Qiniang laughed when she heard this, nodded at her, and said angrily: Just you can speak, you have a clever mouth.
After a while, after finishing the dress, Tian Qiniang held a folded shoulder, and walked out of the dormitory with a gentle shake, at this time Pei Kun and Tian Youyi also changed into civilian clothes, Pei Kun was dressed in a scribe's robe and wore a scarf. With a jade face and red lips, bright eyes and bright teeth, he looks like a beautiful young man who is as rich as jade, and Tian Youyi is wearing a robe. Burly and majestic, the two stood together, like a flower next to a big tree.
Tian Qiniang glanced at it. Suspiciously, he asked: What about Lijiang?
Pei Kun replied: The princess drank a few glasses of liquor, and said that it was hot and humid here. I went rafting at the Scenic Terrace.
Tian Qiniang didn't believe that her daughter would be so peaceful, since Yao'er was her person. Can she not care, if she doesn't take her there, maybe she will be ready to sneak out of the palace by herself, Tian Qiniang shook her head, and asked Pei Kun again: Did you bring the 'passing book' preparation of Lin'an Mansion and the deed of the princess's mansion?
Pei Kun said: Everything has been taken, does the king want to see it now?
Tian Qiniang shook her head and said: You take it, the old woman is watching in the car.
The group went out of the palace gate, Tian Youyi had already arranged the car at the palace gate, and everyone waited for Tian Qiniang to get into the car, and then escorted the car to the Yushitai.
In fact, the Yushitai Prison is located in the Lijingmen on the west side of the palace, just within the scope of the palace, unless the ordinary people are holding a large-scale action like a petition and persuasion, they will not hang out in this area at all.
The palace is on the east side of the city, they go out of the palace gate nearby, start on the east side of the palace city, go around the imperial city for half a week, and then they can reach the prison. Tian Qiniang sat in the car, opened the book from Lin'an Mansion, and opened the contract taken from the princess's mansion to check it repeatedly.
The original shopkeeper on Yao'er's book is called Shen Cifu, and Yu Shitai has carefully searched for this person, but according to the above records, he can't find this person at all, as if this person has never existed at all, and now the princess's mansion has taken out the city registration (business license), house deed, and book, and the owner on it is the so-called Shen Cifu.
All of these qiē prove that the mysterious original owner of the pù of those shops is Mrs. Mu. Naturally, there is no problem with the time on the city registration, the transfer of the book and the contract, and the big seal of the Sihu Yamen of Lin'an Mansion is also conclusive, and there is Yao'er's autograph on the document of the party accepting the transfer, Tian Qiniang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and her opinion on Yao'er's rebellion was even more shaken.
King, the prison has arrived!
The car stopped suddenly, and Xiao Hai's low voice came from the window. Tian Qiniang raised her head and said to Pei Kun: Xiao Kun, you and You Yi go in, call Jun and his ministers to come out to see the old woman, and don't make a noise!
Pei Kun agreed, got up and got out of the car, whispered a few words to Tian Youyi, and the two walked side by side towards the prison. Next to a horse tethering post in front of the prison gate, there was a man who looked like a horseman was grooming his horses, Pei Kun glanced at him, the man nodded slightly, and the slightly nervous look on Pei Kun's face finally relaxed.
In front of the door, there were officers and soldiers of Fengchen Guard who carefully checked the people who entered the Yushitai, Pei Kun and Tian Youyi were like no one around, and they stepped in, and several soldiers hurriedly came up to intercept them, and at this time, several plainclothes guards under Tian Youyi had already rushed up and showed their fish charms.
When the Fengchen guard saw that it was the Yulin guard, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and the plainclothes guard said in a low voice: Yulin Wei is doing something, dodge! pushed them aside, and escorted Pei Kun and Tian Youyi to Yazhong.
After a short time, Jun Xiachen hurriedly walked out with Pei Kun and Tian Youyi, and hurried to the ox cart with a nervous face.
Come on!
A gentle but dignified voice came from the car, and Jun Xiachen's body was shocked, and he hurriedly agreed and boarded the car. After another moment, Jun Xia Chen came out of the car, his face a little cloudy. Followed by Tian Qiniang, she also slowly walked out. Xiao Hai hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Because Jun Xia Chen had already received Tian Qiniang's orders, he didn't dare to walk behind her to make people look weird. had to walk side by side with her, as if accompanying a close friend. Seeing this scene, he was only a distinguished guest of Jun Xiachen, but he would never have thought that this old scribe who gently shook the folding fan was actually the king of today.
Why did the king come to Taiwan?
Jun Xiachen let Tian Qiniang to his own office and invited her to sit down, and then he gave her a self-created five-body gift.
Tian Qiniang said lightly: It's nothing, the old woman is a little bored in the palace, so she came out to take a look. It's too hot everywhere in this weather. Recently, the state affairs have been busy, and I can't take time to go to Longmen to escape the summer. Among these three legal divisions, the Imperial Historical Observatory now led by your subordinate is the most outstanding, with strict law enforcement, fair judgment, and no backlog of cases. Listen to a trial and see what is unique about your imperial history platform, and it can also be promoted in Kouqing Palace and Shangqing Courtyard in the future!
Sure enough, the one who came was not good!
Jun Xiachen's heart tightened, and he hurriedly smiled and said: The king praised it. If the king wants to hear the trial, then ...... The minister will go and arrange it to see which case is being heard......
Tian Qiniang interrupted him. Asked: Who is responsible for hearing the case of Yao'er's rebellion?
Jun Xia Chen was secretly surprised. Hurry up and owe yourself: Jun Wushuang is solely responsible for this case.
Tian Qiniang sighed softly and said: This Yao'er. Betrayed the trust of the old woman, every time the old woman thinks about it, she feels sad, that ...... Just interrogate her, you let Jun Wushuang interrogate Yao'er, Ouyang Zhen and Li Youdao! The old woman is in the back hall, listen carefully, and see how Yao Er is going to quibble!
Jun Xiachen blurted out: This case has been concluded, and the criminal can no longer be tried, but the words came to his lips, and he forcibly swallowed it back.
His Yushitai is not only a rough law enforcement, it is simply a law enforcement violation, and there are no rules. Yao'er's case was handled too hastily, although the queen had never studied the law and did not understand the detailed procedures of the judiciary, but with her shrewdness, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not see any clues.
Jun Xiachen still doesn't know what happened, it's better not to take action at this time, the more actions, the bigger the loopholes. Thinking of this, Jun Xia Chen respectfully agreed, pretending to be calm: The king will sit down for a while, and the minister will arrange it!
Pei Kun suddenly stepped forward and raised his voice: Zhongcheng, and slowly!
Jun Xia Chen stopped and said: What does Chief Pei command?
Pei Kun smiled lightly and said: Don't you dare to give orders, Pei Kun just thinks that Zhongcheng only needs to ask someone to give an order, and the king wants to hear the trial, so naturally it must be under the condition that Jun Wushuang does not know it at all, otherwise Jun Wushuang knows that the king is in the back hall, and the case will inevitably be restrained, so it will lose the original intention of the king to investigate the officials.
Tian Qiniang glanced at Pei Kun, and was a little strange about his self-assertive behavior, but after thinking about it, she was relieved, Pei Kun and Li Jiang have always been good friends, thinking that her daughter had entrusted him before the trip, Tian Qiniang sighed secretly. said: What Pei Kun said is reasonable, Junqing, you can stay with the old woman!
Jun Xiachen secretly complained, he wanted to sneak out first to remind Jun Wushuang, but this time it was absolutely impossible, in front of Tian Qiniang and Pei Kun, two shrewd and somewhat excessive boys, he couldn't even hint at it in his words. Jun Xia Chen had no choice but to return to the main seat and sit down, and then shouted loudly: Someone!
Jun Xiachen invited Tian Qiniang into the room, and then drove out all the miscellaneous servants, only a twelve or thirteen-year-old servant was waiting in the ear room outside. Jun Xiachen shouted three times before he heard it, hurriedly walked in, bowed down and said: Zhongcheng.
Jun Xiachen coughed and said: You go and sue Jun Wushuang, and let go of the cases you are dealing with. Immediately tried Yao'er's case, and brought Li Youdao and Ouyang Xin to court.
The little guy said yes and went away.
Guan Bo and the others had already pleaded guilty when they were imprisoned, and their case was even more impeccable, leaving only Ouyang Zhen, an old man, who resolutely did not admit his guilt, and Jun Xiachen concentrated his firepower on him alone, which was much easier to do.
Who is Ouyang Zhen? He is the right man of the imperial history, specializing in supervising the local government and county officials, there are really a lot of people who have offended, it doesn't matter if he doesn't admit his guilt, Jun Xiachen not only tortured several officials who were affected by the company, forced them to confess, but also mobilized officials from all over the country, and provided a lot of evidence of Ouyang's intentions on the side, which can be described as an iron case.
On the contrary, Yao'er's case is a bit tricky, a Jun Xia Chen wanted to make him unable to refute in order to bite him to death as an important accomplice of the traitorous party, so he fabricated his case more carefully, and there were fewer ministers who were connected with him, and as a result, he was cocooned and bound, and now he wants to find a few more people to prove that Yao'er is guilty.
On the other hand, Yao'er's social relationship is relatively simple, and he only has a close relationship with Mu Shangxuan, Tian Sansi, and Mrs. Mu, and Jun Xiachen doesn't want to involve these people, if the political situation is really out of control, then it will not be something he can suppress.
Therefore, from a procedural point of view, there is still a lack of a necessary witness in the case of Yao'er.
Sun Huahua has already confessed, Ouyang Zhen is impossible to confess, Li Youdao is a family, and he is among the doctors, a high-ranking official of the imperial court, it is more difficult to try this person as Jun Wushuang, you let him a bureau-level cadre try a minister, can he control the scene, if you want to interrogate a ministerial-level cadre like Li Youdao, how can you have a ministerial-level cadre like Jun Xiachen.
Therefore, Jun Wushuang has not interrogated Li Youdao, he is going to throw this difficult bone to Jun Xiachen himself to deal with, and he doesn't want Jun Xiachen to send someone to urge, asking him to interrogate Li Youdao, Ouyang Zhen and Yao'er immediately. Jun Wushuang had no choice but to accept it, and ordered the people on trial to be escorted down, and Li Youdao and Yao'er were brought to court.
But fortunately, this Li Youdao has been conquered, and he promised to bite a few people, this Yao'er is one of them, but Ouyang Xin is still that hard-hearted......
Jun Wushuang gave the order, and sent someone to go to the court immediately, and at the same time, Jun Xiachen secretly read Amitabha Buddha and accompanied Tian Qiniang to the back hall quietly from the back door.
When the case was questioned in court, the presiding judge had a mirror hanging plaque above his head, and behind him was a map of auspicious clouds in the red sun and sea, but although this wall was connected to the ceiling, it was not a dead wall, and there were small doors on both sides that could go around to the back. Another door is opened at the back, and there are also several cases of seating, calligraphy and painting vases, like a small study.
The presiding judge went out from behind to inquire about the case, and sometimes when he encountered some difficult cases, he would also summon some jury officers and experienced veteran officials to come here to discuss countermeasures. At this time, Tian Qiniang sat at the top, and Jun Xiachen, Pei Kun, Tian Youyi and others were also given seats at the bottom.
After a while, Li Youdao was brought in, according to the rule, even if it is a prisoner who has been tried countless times, there must be a record book roll call and verification of the correct body when he goes to the court, but even if a scholar-level official like Li Youdao is mentioned in the court, Jun Wushuang has not named and examined himself.
Jun Xiachen listened to the movement in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little like sitting on pins and needles, and peeked at him, as if since Tian Qiniang and below, the king didn't understand this procedure very well, and there was nothing special to say, so Jun Xiachen put his mind at ease. (To be continued......)
