Chapter 51: Wan Bi Trial
"Wow, Luo Hui, you're so smart, have all those bad guys been arrested?"
"Arrested, all in prison!"
Princess Changping suddenly thought of something: "No, since it's acting, why didn't you tell me in advance?" โ
Luo Hui wiped a cold sweat, she was quite smart: "I won't tell you, it's for the sake of realism, even you believe it, can Governor Liu's family still not like it!" โ
"Hmph, you're scared of me, but for the sake of catching the bad guys, I forgive you, but you have to go shopping with me!"
"Don't, I'm busy!" Luo Hui really has a headache, once this princess goes shopping, it is endless, just like a curious baby, she has to try everything!
"In order to cooperate with your acting, I am like this, why are you so ruthless!"
As soon as the princess was coquettish, Luo Hui couldn't stand it, so he had to promise to accompany her for a day tomorrow.
Outside the Baoding Mansion, under the cover of the night, two black shadows looked at the Mansion surrounded by soldiers.
"Miss, what should I do now?"
Gao Xianglan's face was not very good: "I really didn't expect that Governor Liu to be so useless, it seems that I have to wait a little longer!" โ
"Miss, why don't we go back, King Chuang will be worried!"
Gao Xianglan snorted coldly: "What he is worried about is the thoughts of my brother's subordinates, not my safety!" โ
"Anyway, it's just the two of us now, do you want to summon someone into the city!"
"Summoning people in now will undoubtedly reveal our identities, okay, I know what you have to say, don't persuade me, I won't stop without getting this batch of money!"

In the government of Baoding, Wan Bi sat in the position of the prefect.
There were two groups of people kneeling in the hall, one with shackles on their hands and feet, their hair scattered, and their filthy prison uniforms, which emitted a foul smell. Another group of people, dressed in brocade clothes, covered their mouths and noses with their hands, and looked at the prison uniforms with contempt.
There was a snap
Wan Bi was shocked: "Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel!" โ
Those people in fancy clothes knelt down with each other, and there was only one young man, holding a fan, looking at Wan Bi calmly.
Wan Bi frowned: "Dare to disobey the people, dare not kneel?" โ
The man arched his hand: "Lord Qiyu, you have a meritorious name under you, and according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, you can see the official without kneeling!" โ
Wan Bi was very angry, but he was helpless, he took out Liu Qingsong's confession: "In May of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, tenant Li Liujin accidentally crushed the cat of the rich businessman Wang Fugui's concubine to death, and was beaten to death by Wang Fugui's domestic slaves, and then his family sued the Baoding Mansion, Wang Fugui sent 10,000 taels to the prefect, and the prefect Liu Qingsong perverted the law for bribes, so he sentenced Wang Fugui not guilty, and also beat Li Liujin's son Twenty Boards on false accusations and sent him to prison!" โ
A fat man wearing a big hat was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat: "My lord, this case has long been closed!" โ
"Can't a closed case be overturned? This case is an unjust case, and now this official has announced the verdict, Li Liujin's son Li Hong is acquitted, and the compensation is calculated! โ
The fat man was anxious: "My lord, this has not yet been tried, what evidence is there, why did the case be overturned?" โ
Wan Bi was shocked again: "If you dare to interrupt this official, it's okay, let you die to understand, the prefect Liu Qingsong was arrested by the minister, and he has already written a confession for all the unjust cases he has handled." โ
"This, my lord, how can the case be overturned based on just one confession, in case he writes it blindly!"
Wan Bisan was shocked: "Okay, you Diao Min, he wrote things so clearly and clearly, you actually said that it was written blindly." Since you said that he wrote it blindly, let's use the torture instrument, you also have a confession, and then slowly present evidence, you see how it is! โ
Wan Bi was already angry because of this mess and wanted to end the matter as soon as possible. I didn't expect this person to be so stubborn, and I couldn't help but be very angry.
The fat man was angry when he saw that Wan Bi was angry, and he didn't dare to say more.
"Wang Fugui, you not only killed people, but also framed the victim's family and imprisoned, this official sentenced you to behead the prisoner, come to someone, and put him in a shackle!" Wan Bi pronounced the verdict, and Wan Bi threw a token out of the court.
As soon as these words came out, the fat man was so frightened that he pounded his head like garlic: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!" โ
"Take it down!" Wan Bi looked disgusted.
Two soldiers carried the fat man out.
At this time, the group of people in fancy clothes were really panicked, and even the scholar who refused to kneel knelt down with a panicked face.
"Thank you, sir, you are really the master of the blue sky!"
Li Hong and his mother burst into tears and kowtowed. He (she) was already desperate, but he didn't expect that there would be a day of rehabilitation.
"Lord Qingtian?" Wan Bi was called like this for the first time, and he was very useful in his heart, after all, with these confessions, he was simply caught.
His heart gradually became a little balanced, and he began to continue to read the confession: "In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Xiucai Zhao Qingshanzu had a picture of Tang Bohu's "Picture of a Lady Blowing a Job" borrowed from Xiucai Zheng Jinlong, Zheng Jinlong took it as his own and refused to return it, Zhao Qingshan sued Baoding, Zheng Jinlong bribed the prefect Liu Qingsong with 5,000 taels of silver, Liu Qingsong sentenced "Picture of a Lady with a" to Zheng Jinlong, and put Xiucai Zhao Qingshan with a cane of 20 on false charges and put him in prison! โ
"My lord, the villain is wronged, that "Picture of a Lady with a" is indeed an ancestral heirloom!"
Wan Bi saw that it was the Xiucai who refused to kneel just now, and he was very angry, and he wanted to give a light sentence.
He was shocked: "You cunning villain, since you like that picture of a lady with a, why don't you buy it with the five thousand taels, but would rather give it to the prefect?" What a scholar like you is scum, a disgrace to my generation! This official sentenced you to be imprisoned! โ
Zheng Jinlong was taken aback, just a painting, this is also sentenced to imprisonment?
"My lord, the villain didn't ask him to buy it, the bid was 10,000, he said that it was handed down by his ancestors, and he didn't want to sell it, the villain really liked that painting too much!" When Zheng Jinlong heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, and he was so frightened that he almost became incontinent.
Wan Bi smiled: "Didn't you say that the painting was yours?" โ
Zheng Jinlong was paralyzed all of a sudden, and he kowtowed: "Adult, it's just a painting, and the small one is willing to return it to him,"
Wan Bi touched his beard: "Zheng Jinlong, since you admit your mistake, this official will give you a chance." A person like you, who harmed a friend for the sake of a painting, and became a scholar in vain, is now sentenced to 30 rods, 1,000 miles, and compensate Zhao Qingshan 1,000 taels of silver, and deprive you of your fame! โ
After reading the verdict, Wan Bi took out a piece of order and threw it down the court.
Zheng Jinlong was frightened, he was pampered, where did he suffer hardships, these thirty boards went down, and half of his life was gone.
"My lord, my uncle is an official in the capital, can you sentence him lightly!"
"You shameless person, you dare to intimidate this official, it seems that the sentence is light!"
Zheng Jinlong immediately kowtowed: "Adult, villains don't dare, villains don't dare!" โ
