Text: Seventy-ninth Debate
Finally, when it came to the real battle, even if it was annoying, it would be useless, everything on both sides was ready, and they were waiting for the east wind.
Lu Jue was ready to be bait, he didn't want to talk too much and worry Zhou Ruoshui and his mother, so he concealed that he had been positioned as a suspect, just explained a few words, and only took Yefeng and Lei Gang to Zhizhou Yamen.
The atmosphere has reached such a tense point, but Lu Jue, who is the party concerned, is still well-dressed as usual, and he calmly went to lead the wind. Although he had long been prepared to die and then live, he did not expect that he would really go back to life and death.
Zhu Xianzhi's case was the most positive, but on the day of the interrogation, there was a lot of thunder and little rain, but the new governor Cai Zhuo had full power to try it, and he did not show up.
Cai Zhuo used to be just an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and Lu Jue had a few encounters with him in Beijing for official business, although he didn't know much, he still knew a little about it. Wan Yanlie's henchmen have been eradicated a lot, but this person has become a fish that slipped through the net because of his petty official position.
Cai Zhuo, who was anxious to perform in front of Wan Yan Lie, came to the court early before the time for the trial, he thought that Wan Yan Lie handed over the case to him for trial, that is, he had the power of life and death, as long as he could remove Lu Jue as the prince, he could take this opportunity to be appreciated by the prince, and since then he could rise step by step, he sat in the lobby triumphantly, raised the corners of his mouth and looked outside the court, hoping that the person on trial would come sooner, so that he could show his skills.
The more I hoped, the more I felt that time was slowing down. Just when he crackled his wishful thinking, Lu Jue came with Night Wind and Lei Gang. He lifted his spirits and raised his head high, and when the person just approached the court, he couldn't wait to slap the shocking wood, relying on his power to reprimand loudly: "The person who came down from the hall is a prisoner Lu Jue!" The voice was triumphant and presumptuous, but he didn't know what would happen to him in the future.
This person was so disrespectful, Lei Gang couldn't help it, and raised his eyebrows angrily and pointed at Cai Zhuohu and shouted: "Bold Cai Zhuo, when the Dali Temple is here, you don't hurry down to the hall to salute!" β
Cai Zhuo laughed twice in disregard, and his fists and hands all showed his sincerity to the prince: "This official is entrusted by the prince to accept this case, you suspect and the official doesn't beat you again, even if you give you enough face, where is your turn to show off your power here." He grabbed the startled wood and slapped it, raised his chin and said loudly: "The person under the hall is the suspect Lu Jue." β
Lu Jue can endure his disrespect with a good temper, but the guards beside him are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the night breeze can no longer look at this person's eyes. I saw him holding the sword in one hand, taking a step forward and lifting the internal force, he jumped up, and fell to Cai Zhuo's desk together. As soon as he stretched out his arm and lifted the collar on Cai Zhuo's chest, he lifted him up, threw him at Lu Jue's feet, and then went around to the table and lifted the Taishi chair back to Lu Jue's side and asked him to sit down.
This fall can make Cai Zhuo, who was originally a literati, fall into a mess, and lie on the ground for a long time before he recovers. The first thing that caught my eye was the pair of delicate black boots, and I looked up at the brocade clothes and the pale and handsome face that was as calm as water, and I couldn't help but be shocked by this temperament and didn't know what to do.
Seeing his confused expression, Lu Jue smiled approachably, folded his legs, supported his left elbow on his knee, leaned forward slightly, arched his hand and said gently: "Suzhou Lu Ziyu has seen Lord Cai, the chief judge. β
I don't know why this elegant smiling face made Cai Zhuo feel cold, and he couldn't help but shiver, and he couldn't help but retreat in his heart. I sat in a daze for a long time before I came back to my senses, but my backstage is a thousand years old, and a little Dali Siqing is not afraid. Realizing this, he immediately got up from the ground and scolded fearlessly: "Okay! You are so bold that you dare to ignore the royal law and roar at the court, come and take down these three villains who despise the court, ignore the royal law, disobey and kill the prince."
At this moment, it can only be said that this person does not have a long brain, not to mention that Lu Jue is not suspected of murder, even if there is, the matter is very important and the case is not investigated; 2. No witnesses. Even if you are not afraid that Lu Jue will take the opportunity to take revenge by taking advantage of his high position, is he not afraid that his career will be affected by the unjust, false and wrongful case, all of this is a manifestation of death.
Looking at this person, Lu Jue couldn't help but think deeply, thinking about how he could use such an unbearable person with such wisdom after Yan Lie's death? In this way, it seems that his purpose is very clear, otherwise he will plan how to implement it.
After shouting for a long time and not seeing a single official action, Cai Zhuo was simply mad, he glared at the left and right officials angrily and said: "Take them down quickly, don't take them down yet" was angry, and stomped his feet hard to vent.
Lei Gang has already indicated Lu Jue's identity just now, and when Lu Jue disposed of Wei Dahong, all these officials have seen it with their own eyes, and the title of white-faced Yama does not live up to it at all, who wants to be this budding bird at this moment! Naturally, no one dared to step forward.
Cai Zhuo glanced at the left and right who did not move, it was angry, pointed at everyone and gritted his teeth and said: "You are a group of waste, there are only three of them, what are you afraid of, if you don't move, it will be difficult for the official to do it himself." β
Lu Jue laughed, flicked his fingers, leaned on the back of the chair and raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Lord Zhizhou has just been involved in prison, and he is not at all aware of all the processes in the court. Second, physical evidence and circumstantial evidence are required, but before the adult began to ask the case, he hastily judged Lu to be guilty, and the adult did not feel that it was unfair! And how to make it take orally in the heart. β
Hearing what he said, Cai Zhuo was so angry, he thought that this was a provocation, he glared at Lu Jue angrily, and said, "Okay, this official will list your crimes one by one now, and see what else you have to say." Turning around and walking quickly back to the presiding table, he slapped the startled wood and shouted: "Shengtang" may be so confused that he forgot that there was no chair here, and sat down empty, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily.
This caused a burst of ridicule from the officials.
Seeing this, the master coughed to suppress the laughter, and immediately helped Cai Zhuo up with the master bookkeeper.
After Cai Zhuo got up, he glanced at the smiling crowd embarrassedly, and he was angry in his heart. He lost such a big ugliness when he was promoted to the court for the first time, he recorded all this on Lu Jue's head, and he also swore that he would not let Lu Jue feel better. Holding on to the table, he glared at Lu Jue angrily, and slapped the shocked wood several times in a row: "It's all quiet, ascend to the hall." β
The officials put away their snickers, immediately stood up, and shouted Tang Wei: "Wei γγγγγγ Wu γγγγγγ"
With the support of the master, Cai Zhuo endured the pain and sat on the chair that he had just moved, and said with a twisted face: "The people under the hall are guilty of listening to the truth, and the official will list your crimes one by one now, and see what else you have to say, master."
"Yes, my lord," the master said, holding a sheet full of charges and placing it on the table.
Cai Zhuo looked at the charges aside, and then smiled and enumerated them one by one: "Charge 1, according to the witness, on the day of Niangniang's Day, His Royal Highness King Qi watched the lanterns with a woman, and you ignored the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and forcibly took the woman away halfway. β
Hearing such a distorted accusation, Lu Jue couldn't help but bow his head and smile, and then nodded and said: "There is such a thing, but adults only know one and don't know the other," Lu Jue changed his sitting posture, avoided talking about the fact that the woman was his fiancΓ©e, and said seriously: "Niangniang Day is the birthday of the founding Empress Sheng'an, and Emperor Taizong set up a section on this day to express his sorrow, in order to let young men and women throw off their shackles and have the right to pursue their own happiness." However, there are people who rely on the royal status to rob the people's daughters, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, should this seat be handled as the secretary of Dali Temple? In just a few sentences, he has changed himself from a disobedient and unroyal person to a loyal minister who is not afraid of power to maintain the dignity of the royal family.
This made Cai Zhuo speechless, the first crime was rejected so easily, he was so unwilling, he looked down at the crime again, and then listed the second one: "Crime two, you were stabbed, His Royal Highness the King of Qi kindly went to visit after learning about it, not only did you not be grateful to Dade, but also disrespectful to the prince." β
After listening to him, Lu Jue frowned and shook his head and replied: "There is also at this time, but there is a doubt below that I hope the adults will solve." As he spoke, he arched his hand to Cai Zhuo, full of hope to help solve his doubts.
Cai Zhuo wanted to see what tricks he had to deny his crime, so he didn't stop it, squinted at Lu Jue, and said arrogantly: "Let's talk about it." β
"When I left Beijing, except for my resignation to His Majesty the Emperor, I did not disclose my whereabouts to anyone in the court, so no one in the court knew about me when I went to Hangzhou. As soon as I was stabbed, the prince came to visit, may I ask my lord, is this move reverie? After a few sentences, I understand, but what does this mean to leave it to Cai Zhuo to guess for himself.
"This ......" Cai Zhuo was in a dilemma, and said the guess in his heart, undoubtedly saying that the prince sent someone to stab Lu Jue, isn't this a slap in the face! Not to mention, he was speechless when asked by a prisoner, and his face was gone.
Seeing that the adult didn't know how to answer, the master leaned over and whispered on the case file: "My lord, this article is in everyone's eyes, and he must have no way to quibble." β
Cai Zhuo was not excited, he would not be able to defend this article, so he grabbed the shocked wood and patted it: "Crime three, the prince left for Beijing the next day, and kindly invited the adults to the banquet, but the adults didn't know how to draw their swords and wanted to assassinate the prince, and they also made intimidating words in front of everyone regardless of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers. The prince is the king, you are the minister, you eat my court, but you kill the prince of my dynasty, there are human and material evidence, so disobedient, what crime should you be guilty of. After this sin was finished, he was so unhappy, it was in front of everyone's eyes, and this sin depended on how he quibbled.
Lu Jue smiled disapprerovingly, got up with the armrest, sank his face and only said a few words: "The person who takes his wife, how can he endure it, how can he forgive" stood with his hands behind his back, with a solemn face, and his temperament was not afraid of people.
Hearing this, Cai Zhuo laughed and said, "Lu Jue, aren't you just not recruiting yourself?" You hate the prince for taking your wife, so you say that the prince is not ready to kill him on the way back to Beijing! β
Lu Jue smiled and said: "You are stupid enough, everyone knows that I have a holiday with him, adults think about it, if I seek revenge, will I make trouble for myself at this time?" β
"This γγγγγγ" suddenly made Cai Zhuo's teeth speechless again, the three most convictable charges were overturned, and some other trivial things were not mentioned, and Cai Zhuo, who had nothing to do, didn't know what to do at this time.
For a moment, the entire lobby was silent.
At this moment, there was a burst of applause from outside the lobby, and everyone looked out of the hall. A man dressed in a python robe with a golden crown on his head and an imposing momentum came from everyone. Cai Zhuo saw that this person suddenly had a bottom in his heart, and immediately got up and walked down the court, and walked forward quickly to greet this person respectfully.
Lu Jue looked at the people who had already arrived in the public hall and smiled humbly, hugged his fists and bowed humbly: "Lord Wang." β
The east wind has finally appeared
