Chapter 133: Trial of Du Zhong

Li Haochen didn't pay attention to Du Zhong's muttering, but asked this team of soldiers to press Du Zhong to the county office, but on the way, Du Zhong suddenly shouted like crazy: "I don't accept it!" Why are you arresting me? I just played a joke with you, you don't have proof, you can't arrest me! You let me go, or I'll want Your Majesty to join you!" Du Zhong's head suddenly flashed, he knew that although he said a lot of things that he shouldn't have said just now, but there was no substantive action, it was a strong evidence to lead the troops to arrest Li Haochen, but he was arrested at a critical moment, that is to say, Li Haochen did not have conclusive evidence of his rebellion, as for saying that he was Du Ruhui's nephew, this is even more of a matter of chasing the wind and shadows, he believes in this matter, Li Haochen has no full evidence, so he wants to shout like this, alarm the people, and create public opinion, In this way, he can save his life for the time being, and I have to say that Du Zhong's abacus is truthfully good.

However, Li Haochen will definitely not let Du Zhong get his wish, Li Haochen directly asked Du Zhong to plug his mouth, and then said to Du Zhong: "You don't have to shout, you are guilty or not, you have your own justice, don't worry, I will definitely let you die clearly, and I won't let you feel that you are unjustly killed!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Haochen no longer paid attention to Du Zhong, but went straight to the county office, entered the county office, Li Haochen was promoted to the court to judge the case, this is the most luxurious court configuration in the history of the Tang Dynasty, the chief judge is the Marquis of Lecheng of the Tang Dynasty, the generalissimo Li Haochen of the counterinsurgency, the copywriter (record) is the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Wei Zheng, the book judge (written judgment) is the Tang Dynasty marching military division Fang Xuanling, and the government is the palace guard.

Everyone performed their duties, and Li Haochen sat down in the middle hall and said, "Take the prisoner Du Zhong!" As soon as Li Haochen's words fell, Du Zhong was taken to the court.

Li Haochen asked people to take down the cloth that was blocked in Du Zhong's mouth, and then said: "Du Zhong, you colluded with thieves and murdered important members of the imperial court, are you guilty?" ”

Du Zhong looked at the posture and snorted coldly: "What is the trouble of wanting to add crimes? If you want to kill, you have to listen to it! Even if I die, I have to go to Your Majesty to see you! Hum! ”

When Li Haochen heard this, a row of shocked trees said coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that Ben Shuai had known that you were Du Ruhui's nephew and had taken precautions against you, I'm afraid that Ben Shuai would have been destroyed in your hands now, and you would dare to quibble?" Since you don't want to say it, then Ben Shuai will tell you one by one......"

It turned out that Li Haochen had already passed through the Datang Intelligence Bureau and knew the details of Du Zhong, when Du Zhong went to the army to invite him into the city, Li Haochen became suspicious, he used the excuse to find Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling for half an hour, in fact, he secretly sent people to control Xinfeng County, so there was the scene that just countered Du Zhong, originally Li Haochen arranged everything, he could directly arrest Du Zhong in the army, but Li Haochen still wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Du Zhong's gourd, and also wanted to see how he leaked the fox's tail, So he called Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling to sing such a play with Du Zhong, of course, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling didn't know anything about the reason for this matter, and Fang Xuanling also advised Li Haochen to be careful, it may be a Hongmen banquet. However, at that time, Li Haochen laughed it off and ignored it, which made Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling very helpless, so they followed him into the city, and there was the scene just now.

Through Li Haochen's narration, everyone present, including Du Zhong, knew the cause and effect of this incident, of course, in the process of Li Haochen's narration, Li Haochen said very implicitly about this paragraph of the Datang Intelligence Bureau, and only said that it was done by the scouts in the army.

Du Zhong didn't expect Li Haochen to start calculating him from the moment they met, although he secretly sighed in his heart that he was careless, but now he was thinking more about saving his life, and then said with a stiff neck: "There is no evidence, this is just your speculation with red mouth and white teeth, this official has not done anything, and he is not Du Ruhui's nephew, you are a bloody squirting person!" ”

Li Haochen sneered at Du Zhong's unreasonable and exhausted words: "What an empty statement, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, do you want evidence?" Good! I'll show you the proof!" Saying that, Li Haochen's voice was a little higher and said, "Someone! Bring it on! As Li Haochen's order was issued, a man in a lieutenant's uniform was brought up.

Li Haochen glanced at Du Zhong coldly and said, "Du Zhong, do you recognize this person?" "Li Haochen asked the person to be brought up is none other than this Xinfeng County captain, Du Zhong watched this captain being brought up, and knew that he couldn't quibble today, because it was this captain who was ordered to ambush at the city gate to arrest Li Haochen and others, just now at the city gate, if Du Zhong was not immersed in the fantasy of grabbing Li Haochen and becoming a knight in the future, and didn't find that this captain was not at the scene at the time, maybe he wouldn't have said the words that let Li Haochen grab the handle, but unfortunately everything was not if.

At that time, this captain was not at the scene, because before entering the city, this captain was controlled by the Praetorian Guards, and on the way to the county government of Li Haochen and his party, this captain had already recruited everything.

The lieutenant listened to Li Haochen's questioning, and without waiting for Du Zhong to speak, he said to Du Zhong with a crying voice: "My lord, I told everything!" I'm sorry for you, my lord! "This captain had received a lot of benefits from Du Zhong earlier, and if he couldn't resist the torture method passed on by Li Haochen to the Praetorian Guards at this moment, he would definitely not betray Du Zhong.

Du Zhong listened to the captain's words, his face was like ashes, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to the captain: "This is all fate!" Planning is in the sky, and the sky is going to kill me, and it has nothing to do with you! ”

Li Haochen looked at Du Zhong, who was almost crazy, and asked again: "Du Zhong, are you guilty?" ”

Hearing this, Du Zhong glanced at Li Haochen coldly and said, "Since you interrogated me in the court, that is, you left according to the law, what can I do if I know my sin and don't know my sin?" You can't kill me, you have to know that I am a subordinate official of the capital, and to convict me, I need the emperor's decree and the Dali Temple to preside over the trial before I can be convicted, and you have no right to convict me! ”

Li Haochen looked at Du Zhong with a playful face and said, "Is that so?" Is there such a thing? Hearing this, Du Zhong nodded, and said of course, his expression was extremely proud.

Li Haochen saw that Du Zhong was dying and still had illusions, so he laughed and said: "Okay, Du Xianling is really familiar with the law, and he admires it!" But ......" said here, Li Haochen pulled a long tone, and then said coldly: "What do you think this is?" Saying that, Li Haochen raised his waist and wore it, and before he set out for the battle, Li Jiancheng gave him the Shang Fang sword.

Du Zhong looked at the Shang Fang sword that Li Haochen held up with the four gilded characters engraved on it, and the straight body that was still standing just now collapsed to the ground in an instant.

Li Haochen said coldly: "Before setting out on the expedition, Your Majesty gave me the sword of Shang Fang, and I have the right to make a decision to cut first and then play, Du Zhong, you colluded with the thief, plotted to kill the important ministers of the court, betrayed the lord for glory, and ignored the grace of the monarch, it is really a heinous crime, and his crime should be punished!" Ben Shuai will sentence you to a decisive decision now! Dragged out left and right and chopped! Du Zhongrao can argue strongly, and he didn't say a word at the moment, and after a while, the guards reported to Li Haochen that the execution had been completed, and Li Haochen felt that he had contributed to Xinfeng after all, and ordered someone to bury him.
