The lack of a severed head meal made the second uncle feel a little regretful in his heart, and it seemed that there was an imperfection in his life at the end.

But he was an old man by nature, and he thought that it didn't matter if he didn't, because he had a full breakfast, so he wouldn't be a starving ghost on the road.

I wondered if I could leave a few last words before I was executed, but if I could, I wanted to leave a message for my poor daughter - he was sorry for her as a father.

While he was thinking, the man had been taken out of prison and led him outside a room.

Someone was faintly visible talking in the room, and all the people standing outside were Jinyiwei.

When the second uncle was wondering what he was doing with this house, the brocade guard Xiaoqi who came out of him said on the side: "Thousands of households, bring the Qin prisoner Li Jinzhong!" ”

"Bring it in!"

A man's voice came from inside the house, very loud, but it was Qianhu Tian Ergeng, who was the former envoy of the southern town and now the commander of the north town.

"Get in!"

The lieutenant next to the second uncle stretched out his hand and pushed him, and then he was put in. After entering the house, the little flag pressed the second uncle on a bench.

"Two, the prisoner has been brought, and if you have nothing else, you can be tried."

Tian Ergeng's face was a little ugly, because an hour ago, Liu Qiao, the pacification envoy, called him over, told the Criminal Department that someone was coming to interrogate Li Jinzhong today, and ordered him Tian Ergeng to assist and cooperate, not to make it difficult to stop the people of the Criminal Department, and they should all be left to them.

This made Tian Ergeng very dissatisfied, he bluntly said that the edict prison is directly managed by Beizhen, there has always been no emperor's will, and no one in the three law divisions has the right to interrogate the prisoners of the edict prison, so why do they want to open the door to the criminal department. If outsiders know, wouldn't Beizhen be placed under the Ministry of Punishment?

Liu Qiao said that this matter was approved by the metropolitan governor, and he Beizhen must obey unconditionally.

Tian Ergeng originally thought that Liu Qiao had an affair with the Donglin Party and operated this matter in the dark, if this was the case, he could argue with reason and prevent the criminal department from arraignment, but when he heard the meaning of Tianjin, he knew that he could not resist, so he had nothing to say.

I was very anxious in my heart, there must be no good thing for the criminal department to suddenly come to interrogate, he couldn't stop it, and Father-in-law Wei couldn't come back, I was afraid that the second uncle of my father-in-law would be in trouble.

In desperation, he had to deal with the people from the Criminal Department, and at the same time secretly sent his cronies to report to Li Yongzhen of Dongchang and Chen Mo of Zuo'anmen, hoping that the two could think of a way to prevent the Criminal Department from arraignment after receiving the news.

........

There are two people from the Criminal Department, one is Xie Xuelong from the Criminal Department, and the other is Wang Zhiyu from the Criminal Department.

Wang Zhihuan and Xie Xuelong are both members of the Donglin Party, and compared with Xie Xuelong, who was only transferred to the Criminal Department last year, Wang Zhihuan is already an old Criminal Department. He has been in the Criminal Department for 10 years, is proficient in the way of torture, and is a rare person in the Donglin Party to raise sentences.

Therefore, he served as the chief judge of this time, so that he could open Li Jinzhong's mouth as soon as possible and obtain a confession favorable to the Donglin Party, so as to be able to redeem the passive situation of Donglin caused by Yang Lian's attempt to knock on the door.

In the past few days, the Criminal Department and the Donglin Party have done a lot of work on this case, and the line of Jinyiwei has basically been opened, and the Metropolitan Governor Luo Sigong made it clear that he would not interfere with the trial of the Criminal Department, and will write to the emperor to officially transfer the case to the Criminal Department, so now Wang Zhiyu and the two only need to try out the general truth of the case.

Wang Zhihuan is still very confident in his interrogation skills, and this time it was Li Sancai, the founding father of the party, who personally ordered his generals, so he has the heart to perform in order to make progress in his career, and he has done his homework very well, which can be said to be confident.

When he was about to start the trial, he saw that Tian Qianhu from Nabei Town stayed in the house and didn't want to go out, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Tian Qianhu wants to listen?" It seems that Jinyiwei didn't listen to it. ”

"Listening" is where the ministry of Dongchang Fanzi lies.

The East Factory has "listening" personnel from all major yamen in central Beijing to record the affairs of the yamen. The case records will be sent to the Imperial Court together with the official documents of the three legal divisions to ensure that no officials will deceive and tamper with the trial records.

However, "listening" is the prerogative of Dongchang, and Jinyiwei does not have this right.

Wang Zhihuan was reminding Tian Ergeng that although the Criminal Department was arraigning prisoners on the Beizhen territory, Jinyiwei still did not listen to this power.

"The two adults are only in charge of the trial, and Tian is waiting outside."

Although Tian Ergeng was angry in his heart, his face was silent, he turned his head to look at the second uncle of Wei, who looked dazed, sighed secretly in his heart, walked out of the house with his hands, and took the door with his hand.

Wang Zhihuan gave Xie Xuelong a look, and the latter immediately understood, pointed to the stool under Li Jinzhong's buttocks and said, "Where can the prisoner have a seat, kneeling is." ”

Hearing this, the captain in the house stepped forward to take away the second uncle's stool, and then knocked it on the back of the second uncle's knee, and the second uncle involuntarily knelt on the ground.

"Li Jinzhong, you openly beat Yang Lian, the official of the imperial court, and the household department outside the Gongji Gate, and the emperor was angry and sent you to the edict prison, and now the Criminal Department came to interrogate you according to the law, is there any doubt?"

Wang Zhihuan was the chief judge, and after sitting down, he began to question.

Xie Xuelong sat on his side, looking at the second uncle intently.

There is another clerk in the house who is taking notes.

"Oh, it's from the Criminal Department."

The second uncle raised his head and looked at the two officials of the Criminal Department in front of him, and secretly said that he was not here to kill him, but to interrogate him.

But what's there to judge?

Of course, a hero does things by himself, do you think that our family can still bite others.

When the second uncle decided to kill Yang Lian that day, he had already made up his mind to die, and he ignored the people from the criminal department. Even if the young master and the emperor come to judge him, he will be determined to die.

"Say, who told you to do this?"

Wang Zhihuan saw that the second uncle was loyal, and thought it was so frightened, so he slapped the shocking wooden "horn" he specially brought on the table.

The second uncle has done everything to kill his head, how can he frighten this shocking wood?

The old man looked up at the two officials who were interrogating him, and their pretentious appearance made him a little amused, so he said, "Hehe", "No one instructed me, I did everything by myself." ”

"Nonsense, no one instructed you, why did you want to go to the gate of the pole! Why did you want to commit murder against Yang Lian alone! Xie Xuelong shouted angrily.

The second uncle opened his mouth and retracted his head again, wanting to say something as if he didn't know if he could say it.

Wang Zhiyu and Xie Xuelong were all refreshed when they saw it: It seems that this Li Jinzhong does have a ghost!

"Li Jinzhong, if you recruit from the truth, maybe this official will intercede with Your Majesty and spare your life..."

Xie Xuelong is also helping on the side, the two of you say a word, I say a word, but it's all for the sake of the second uncle. If you don't tell the truth, then you will die for someone for no reason, but unfortunately, you will be wronged.

The second uncle looked at the two of them like that, and when the two of them said about the same, he nodded his head, and then said: "You are wrong, I am not committing murder to that Yang Lian, but removing adultery!" ... You don't want to see that I can't read, but I also know that Yang Lian is a famous traitor in Beijing, and everyone will be punished, and I am getting rid of thieves for the country. ”
