The priest didn't dare to look up at Du Ji's eyes when he spoke, he knew very well what Du Yi wanted, and set up such a bureau to let Lan Ziyi in, Du Ji obviously didn't plan to let Lan Ziyi out. As Du Qi's subordinate, the criminal officer did not want to disobey his boss, but the law was carefully stipulated, and what Lan Ziyi did was not enough to be accused by Du Qi.

The priest who was sandwiched between Taishū and Du Ji was in a hurry, and he used all his strength to finish his words tremblingly, and then tried not to collapse himself to the ground. This is a very difficult thing for the current executioner, his clothes have long been soaked with sweat, his spirit has long been in a trance and weak, and he will not last long if he continues like this.

However, the torturer obviously didn't understand Du Yi's thoughts, his anxiety was just torturing himself, although Du Ji was angry, he didn't mean to get angry with his subordinates.

Du Ji didn't let the priest suffer for too long, and he quickly asked the priest:

"Theft? Does that mean that Wei Hou is a thief? ”

The priest was still silent, and Tao Zhutu stopped, and saw Tao Zhutu take half a step forward, crossed his waist with one hand, and pointed at Du Ji with the other and scolded:

"You're the thief! My young master is upright, he is a good man who stands up to the sky, where can I tolerate you to slander. ”

Du Ji sneered and said:

"I, the scribe in charge of the prison, said clearly, your marquis of the guard coerced Dong Gongzi to steal his father's official seal, and he was an accomplice in stealing, so what did I say about his thief?"

The three brothers of the Tao family heard Du Ji say over and over again that Lan Ziyi was a thief, and they were so angry that they wanted to do it directly, but Qiu Wenruo stopped the three of them, only to hear Qiu Wenruo say:

"It was clearly written on the pleadings of the main mind just now, Dong Gongzi sued Wei Hou for coercion and extortion, and it has nothing to do with theft, without the plaintiff to sue, how can Lord Du use this matter to convict Wei Hou?"

Du Ji said:

"I, Du Ji, as a parent official, are in charge of the weathering and public security in the region. Although the plaintiff did not sue Wei Hou for the crime of stealing, as long as I knew that this was the case, I would pursue this treacherous matter to the end. If there is no plaintiff, I will be the plaintiff, and as long as Wei Hou is guilty, I have no reason to let him escape the charge. ”

Qiu Wenruo smiled and said:

"It was Dong Sixian who stole the seal of the imperial historian, and my family Wei Hou didn't steal it with him, why did Wei Hou become an accomplice?"

Dong Sixian, who was already disheartened, heard Qiu Wenruo's words, and the anger in his heart did not come from anywhere, and the grief and indignation drove Dong Sixian to turn to Qiu Wenruo, and his poignant voice was like a life-seeking ghost crawling out of the underworld, which made people's hearts chill. Dong Sixian pointed at Qiu Wenruo and said:

"I don't care who you are, I just beg you not to talk nonsense with your eyes open. Your marquis found a group of people to surround me that night, broke the bridge of my nose, forced me to steal with an IOU, and made me sign a military order, and asked me to look good without taking out my father's official seal. Now I am the only one who stole and has nothing to do with your Wei Hou, but you can talk about it and see what is the irrelevant law? ”

Qiu Wenruo smiled:

"If Dong Gongzi steals something, the matter will naturally be discussed differently. But now that Dong Gongzi has not been able to steal something, then the matter can be regarded as an attempted theft at most, which was also made clear by the criminal officer just now. Since it was an attempted theft, the thoughts and motives of the perpetrators and those related to the perpetrators are important bases for judging the case. If there is no motive to commit the crime on their own initiative, there is no intentional theft, no intentional theft, and no theft of things, which is not a crime of theft. ”

Qiu Wenruo's defense can be described as daylight, and he is untrustworthy, Lan Ziyi, who is sitting in the back, only knows that Qiu Wenruo is faithful, benevolent, and honest, but he never knows that Qiu Wenruo still has such skills. The people sitting in the hall were also so angry by Qiu Wenruo's words that they couldn't help laughing. Dong Sixian, who was kneeling on the ground, turned blue with hatred, and Dong Sixian pointed at Qiu Wenruo and said:

"What are you talking about? Lan Ziyi forced me to steal my father's official seal that day, isn't this called intentional theft? ”

Qiu Wenruo said:

"Of course not, my family guard asked you to steal, you went to steal because of my family guard, and all your actions revolved around a thief, so you deliberately went to steal; My family Weihou wanted the official seal because of his own reasons, but no matter what the reason was, it was not to steal for the sake of stealing, so Weihou did not intend to steal. One intentionally, the other unintentionally, it is really clear who is a thief and who is guilty. ”

Dong Sixian was speechless when he heard this, glaring at Qiu Wenruo, "You, you" was stunned for a long time, and he was so angry that he vomited blood in his last breath.

Seeing this, Du Yi in the hall made his eyes look and let the officials drag Dong Sixian down, and then Du Yi sneered at Qiu Wenruo and Lan Ziyi:

Mr. Wen Ruo's defense was really devastating, and Du couldn't help but be amazed when he heard it. You said that your family guard didn't steal for the sake of stealing, so you told me why your family guard Hou asked Dong Gongzi to steal his father's official seal? ”

Regarding the matter of coercing Dong Sixian to steal the official seal, Lan Ziyi's first thought was to deny it. But Dong Sixian's statement was clearly written, and what Lan Ziyi did that day couldn't be covered after all. I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses. Now Qiu Wenruo is sophistry, the situation in the court is also very favorable to Lan Ziyi, and Lan Ziyi has no problem with the next matter.

So Lan Ziyi patted Qiu Wenruo's arm and motioned for Qiu Wenruo to get out of the way, and then Lan Ziyi said to Du Ji:

"I haven't seen what the imperial historian's seal looks like, so I asked Dong Gongzi to take it for me to see."

Du Ji couldn't believe his ears when he heard this, and he said:

"What did you say?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Dong Sixian signed my silver, he can't help but pay it back, he has no money to pay me back, and I'm bored to death, so I asked him to take out the imperial historian's seal and show it to me to satisfy my curiosity."

Du Ji finally heard Lan Ziyi's words clearly this time, and after sneering a few times, he simply ignored Lan Ziyi and Qiu Wenruo, but turned to the priest and asked:

"You say, how many years should be punished for theft?"

The priest replied:

"The theft is only three years at most, just ......"

Before the priest finished speaking, Tao Zhuhu said to Du Ji:

"The surname is Du, you dare to try it today!"

Qiu Wenruo also said:

"If you can't punish the doctor, if you don't lose the title of Marquis of my family guard for a day, Lord Du can't take the punishment to slander my family guard for a day."

Togi Province:

"I know that your family guard marquis will not be sentenced, but if you commit a crime, you will be punished, how can I let you go just because you Lan Ziyi is a relative of the emperor? Torturer, how many boards do you say this accomplice to theft should be punished? ”

Before the priest heard the question, Lan Ziyi took over the words in a suppressed voice:

"In this world, only the emperor can sentence me to the board, and the only one who can beat me is the court staff.

Du Ji was already a little impatient at this time, and he said:

"Well, even if you don't have to suffer from peace, but your malicious harm and coercion of others are enough for you to pay a large sum of money to redeem yourself in order to regain your freedom."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi yawned and got up and said:

"Second brother, take a silver ticket for Master Du. I've been here all morning, and it's time to go back and rest. ”
