After carefully looking through the confession in his hand, Sun Tu smiled and looked at Song Jiang and Ju Liang, who were sitting at the head of the head: "In this way, the culprits in the attack on Xu Shangshu are actually the two pimples of Zhang Hu and Ji Biao mentioned above, as for those children of the official family, they were implicated by them?" ”

Song Jiang did not answer, but looked at Ju Liang and motioned for him to answer. The latter suddenly perked up, and felt that this was a good opportunity for him to show his ability, so he bowed down and said: "Taiwei Yingming, that's exactly the case." Maybe those sons of Yanei did have the intention of making trouble for Xu Shangshu, but they didn't dare to hurt people after all. It's that those two pimpies have always been bold and reckless, and it is reasonable that one can't hold back his hand and hurt people.

"And in this way, we can have a satisfactory explanation with everyone, since there are other people who hurt people, it is not good to detain those sons who already have official status, of course, the punishment that should be given must be there. As for the two murderers, they should be severely punished for injuring the officials as the people, and even killing them is not serious. ”

"Well, Ju Shilang is an old man who has been in the Criminal Department for many years, and he sees things more clearly than me. Yes, in this way, all parties have taken care of it, whether it is officialdom or the people, they can't find faults, Xu Shangshu can also vent his evil anger to some extent, not bad, not bad! Sun Tu smiled again and nodded, which made Ju Liang even more happy, and humbled himself again and again.

But at this moment, Sun Tu suddenly changed the conversation again: "But there is one point that the official still has doubts, is this the real truth of the case?" ”

This question made Ju Liang's smiling face stiffen suddenly, and he was a little surprised: "What did the captain say about this?" ”

"I'm just asking you, is this the truth? Xu Shangshu was really injured by those two splashes? Sun Tu looked at him and asked word by word.

"This ...... This is natural, the two of them even confessed their confessions, and they also drew a ......"

"The confession may not be done accurately, it can be that someone instructed or forced them to do so, but they are just two little people, and they are like two ants in the officialdom, so they can't do it obediently?" Sun Tu spoke slowly, but the momentum on his body had suddenly been suppressed, which made Ju Liang panic for a while, and his body trembled slightly.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Sun Tu continued: "In this matter, this official has several questions, as long as you can give me satisfactory answers one by one, I will believe you." The first point is that it has been several days since those gentlemen were handed over to the Criminal Department, and you have also been interrogated for a few days, why didn't they suddenly remember that there was such a thing until the day before yesterday, instead of bringing it up early in the morning, so as to exonerate themselves?

"Second, the situation was so chaotic at that time, those two gentlemen could actually see what Zhang Hu Ji Biao injured Xu Shangshu, how did they do it? Is it a coincidence, or is there another ulterior reason?

"Third, and the most critical point, since Zhang Hu and the others injured Xu Shangshu, and knew that the imperial court had arrested people strictly, and even those sons of the family whose status was much higher than them were thrown into prison, why did they dare to stay in the capital and wait for you to come to arrest them? These splashes always have some brains to be able to fight in Tokyo, and the first thing that comes to mind after such a catastrophe is not to escape from here? It was easily caught by you, and the weirdness in it, think about it yourself, but is it suspicious? ”

Three questions were thrown, and Ju Liang was already speechless, unable to come up with any explanation. At the same time, beads of sweat continued to appear on his forehead, and he looked panicked: "Xiaguan...... Xiaguan ......"

It was only at this time that Song Jiang opened his mouth: "The Taiwei is really clear, and the lower officials admire it." It was only later that I realized that there was a problem, but you immediately caught the flaw. As he spoke, he looked at his subordinate again, and suddenly shouted in a loud voice: "Say, why are you doing this?" Was it a decision made in collusion with someone? Do you think that as long as you find two substitutes for the dead ghosts, you can perfunctory things, really when the law of the Great Song Dynasty is a decoration, when the official and the Taiwei are confused? ”

As soon as he said this, let alone Ju Liang, even Sun Tudu was a little surprised, and looked at Song Jiang again: "You ......"

"Taiwei Mingjian, in fact, the official had already asked the inside story yesterday night, so Zhang Hu and Ji Biao would admit that such sins were caused by being blackmailed with the lives of their families! Although the identity of the other party has not yet been found, one thing can be guessed, they are doing this to rescue those suspects! ”

As he spoke, he suddenly stared at Ju Liang again, and shouted, "Say, who made you do this?" If you dare to say a lie, even if the captain doesn't send you down, the official will not let you go! ”

At this moment, Song Jiang also had a strong killing intent on his body, and he rushed straight towards Ju Liang. He has led his troops to fight dozens of times, and he has killed many people with his own hands, and now his anger is moving, and his power is not small, which made Ju Liang feel unprecedented pressure, his body was weak, and he finally knelt down on the spot: "Go down...... The lower officials were also forced to ...... That's why I'm stupid enough to do something like this. Please also ask the captain, the master forgive the sins......"

Sun Tu only looked at the pair of bosses and subordinates calmly at this time, and only let Song Jiang play himself. And Song Jiang didn't disappoint him, he had already stepped forward at this time, staring at the other party condescendingly: "Then recruit from the truth, who colluded with you?" ”

"Yes...... It was Yang Huaixing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was my son and daughter's in-laws, and had always been good friends with the lower officials, and this time he asked me many times, and moved out of the DPRK and the central government dozens of officials to pressurize, and the lower officials really had no choice but to accept their proposal. After all, if this case is really investigated, let's not talk about whether the culprit can really be found, just the father and brother of those suspects are not something that our criminal department can withstand. Maybe you don't know the difficulties, but the people in our criminal department clearly feel the great pressure, and everyone hasn't slept peacefully for many days......

"So the lower officials have no choice but to ...... Only choose to work with them. After all, these sons have also learned some lessons, and Xu Shangshu's injuries have long recovered, so it is better to find a scapegarnate to bear all the sins, so that everyone can give an explanation, and then let those sons with backgrounds go. This is good for everyone, and it will not damage the face of the court. And those two pranksters also do a lot of evil on weekdays, even if they kill it, it's not a pity, but it's their glory to die because of this. ”

Although he was a little stunned when he said this, there was a look of deep approval in his expression, obviously believing that his approach was correct and there was no problem. And this performance made Sun Tu laugh, he was really amused by this person's fallacies: "Okay, well said, he really deserves to be the servant of the criminal department of my Great Song Dynasty, and he really has a vision that ordinary people don't have!" It turns out that in your eyes, any royal justice is just a bargaining chip that can be traded, as long as the interests of some nobles are involved, you can discard it without hesitation! As for the lives of ordinary people, they are even less worthy of mention than you! It's chilling that someone like you can still be a waiter in the criminal department. ”

The mountain-like pressure was constantly exerted, and all of a sudden, Ju Liang was weak, sweating like pulp, and he couldn't even speak. Even Song Jiang also felt a burst of horror, and hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Taiwei, it's the lower officials who don't know people, so much so that they ......."

"It's no wonder you, you've only been in the Criminal Department for a long time, and it's reasonable that you've been blinded by some of his past words and deeds. If I really want to blame you, I can't get rid of it. Sun Tu immediately waved his hand at him and said, "But you can see the flaws at the last moment and find out the truth, which can be regarded as atonement." ”

Song Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Sun Tu would anger himself and cause some trouble.

Sun Tu took a deep breath again, and looked at Ju Liang who was still trembling there with disdain: "Ju Liang, as well as Yang Huaixing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, are all using power for personal gain, interfering in the judiciary, and their crimes are not forgiven, so this official will report to His Majesty and dismiss you from your post and exile, and never use them again!" ”

"Captain...... Taiwei Xiaguan was just forced by the situation, he was confused for a while, Xiaguan didn't dare anymore, Taiwei Kaig...... "Ju Liang really didn't expect Sun Tu's punishment to be so harsh, this time he really didn't possess his body, and shouted loudly.

As a person who was able to enter the officialdom for ten years, and then climbed to such a high position after more than ten or twenty years of hard work, after being robbed of his official position by Sun Tu with a single sentence and adding a suffix that will never be used, it is really even more miserable than killing him, which is an unacceptable result for any official. Rao is Ju Liang was already extremely afraid of Sun Tu, and he couldn't help but beg for mercy loudly at this time.

But it was too late, after saying this, Sun Tu had already waved his hand, and the soldiers in front of his own hall rushed in and dragged people out directly. Now that he has been robbed of all his status, there is no need for everyone to be polite to him anymore.

Until Ju Liang was taken away for a while, there was still a depressing silence in the hall. After a while, I heard Sun Tu say: "From this incident, it can be seen that those guys will not be obedient, and this case cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise it will only make more trouble." ”

Song Jiang also nodded thoughtfully: "What the Taiwei said is true, but how to judge it?" At least so far, they still refuse to admit that Xu Shangshu was injured by his own hands. ”

Sun Tu sneered: "Since you don't admit it, then you should be punished." ”

"Ah...... This...... Isn't that also a disregard for the law? Song Jiang was surprised.

"It is a fact that they did it to the important members of the imperial court outside the imperial city, and even if it is not the person they injured, they should be punished. And I didn't say I really wanted to take their lives. In this way, when you go back, you will condemn them to assaulting the officials of the court, and then take away all their origins, and beat them with thirty boards each, and then punish them for half a moon in the most prosperous part of the city. I want to see who will dare to be disrespectful to the court officials in the future! Sun Tu gave his own decision with a cold face!
