Chapter 43 The Case of Falling from a Building (8)
Wei Dahong, who had a bad breath, was so comfortable in his heart, he invited a group of fox friends and singers to eat, drink, sing and dance in Wanglei Feng, until the group of people dispersed when they were close to the son.
Wei Dahong, who was already drunk, did not return to Wu Min's general's mansion, and stayed in the lounge prepared by Wang Lei Feng for the drunken guests. But just as he was about to lie down and rest, he was distraught by a loud noise. I didn't even wear shoes and ran to the door, scolded and opened the door and said, "Lao Xu, did you eat leopard gall, don't you know that you are sleeping?" Didn't I tell you 、、、、、、" When he saw the face of the person who came clearly, he suddenly sobered up, and said nervously: "You guys, why are you here!" ”
Night Wind stepped forward and took out the waist card from his waist and said: "We are the sword guards given by the Holy Father to Dali Siqing, and now I invite you to go and ask for questions on the order of Lu Siqing, Wei Dahong, please!" "In order to make it convenient for those dead soldiers to act when protecting Lu Jue, the emperor gave several people special tokens.
"I, I, I didn't do anything, I'm not going to go with you." As he spoke, he hurriedly retreated to the house, closed the door, and pressed against the door with all his might.
Night Wind snorted, kicked the door open with one kick, looked at Wei Dahong with cold eyes, waved his hand, and signaled, "Take it away." ”
"Yes" The two guards behind him quickly stepped forward to pick Wei Dahong up and leave.
At this time, Wei Dahong couldn't understand it, and he clearly knew what would happen if he was taken away. Desperately struggling and shouting loudly: "Why are you arresting me, I am a good citizen, do you know 、、、、、、" Before he finished speaking, the night wind walking in front blocked his mouth, and the only thing left was humming.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Xu also hurriedly ran to find a rescuer after the people left.
At the same time, Lu Jue and others also rushed to the state office, although it was already night, but there was not even a night watchman at the gate of the yamen. Two solitary lanterns hang above the closed gate, revealing its faint justice.
Witnessing all this, Lu Jue's mood can be imagined, although he stopped at the door and didn't say a word, the look on his face already indicated what he was going to do next. Without waiting for the people around him to ask, he stepped in front of the drum in a few steps, took off the drumstick and beat it vigorously. The sound of the drums of the silence of all things in the middle of the night not only tells the bitterness of the wronged, but also wakes up those who still have different hearts.
The official guarding the door, who had long been asleep, was woken up by the sound of the drum, reluctantly got up, opened the door and looked at the crowd and shouted angrily: "What time is it, you 、、、、、、" Looking around, more than a dozen people with steel swords in their hands were supporting a young man with a pale face and a righteous life. That temperament was intimidating, and he stiffly pushed back his next words.
In a trance, Lu Jue had already led everyone into the lobby of the yamen. A group of people sat down in the lobby, with gloomy faces, waiting for the group to be ready.
Wang Wen'an, who rushed to hear the news, already understood this scene in his heart. Hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan Wang Wen'an will see Lord Siqing." Looking up slightly, Lu Jue's expression asked cautiously: "Xiaguan dares to ask what happened to the lord entering the government late at night?" ”
Lu Jue glanced at him, smiled lightly, and said, "This subordinate has a case to solve, and I want to borrow you for this state hall." ”
This fluttering sentence made Wang Wenxin feel anxious, he wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, and said with a smile: "If there is something that the lord commands the lower officials, why do you need to go in person late at night." ”
Lu Jue squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Wang Wen'an, and asked expressionlessly, "Can this seat still be trusted by Lord Wang?" ”
Wang Wen'an knew some things, and he was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed down and said in horror: "Why did the lord say this, the lower officials have always been willing to look forward to the adults!" ”
Lu Jue sneered, his expression was cold, and his tone was like frost: "My lord has this heart, I can't see or touch it, but I only know one thing, that is, what my seat entrusts my lord to do, and my lord doesn't do his best." Therefore, this seat had no choice but to preside over it in person. Sitting there with a gloomy face, although he didn't say a word of hatred, just the kingly aura exuded around him was enough to make people daunted.
Lu Jue said one word, Wang Wen'an's heart jumped violently, lowered his head and whispered in defense: "The ruling in this case is all in accordance with the law, and there is no partiality." The public is unfair and has its own judgment, for the sake of his brother-in-law, why should he be embarrassed to go to the office. At this time, for Wang Wen'an, although Lu Jue is a high position, he is just a passer-by for Hangzhou City, and he still has to face Wu Min in the future, so it is Wu Min who he can't offend now. So it seems that this person is faint but not mediocre, timid but cautious.
This made Lu Jue understand that such a person could not be kept.
Lu Jue snorted heavily and sneered: "It seems that this is still the fault of this seat!" ”
But at this time, Wang Wenan somehow didn't hear the meaning of Lu Jue's words. immediately accompanied a smiling face: "That's okay, since Wei Dahong has decided to take the initiative to bear the compensation, why don't you turn a blind eye, why do you have to talk about right and wrong, the dead are already dead, it's better to lose more money!" Adult 、、、、、、"
The more Lu Jue listened to these words, the more angry he became, he couldn't control the case at all and got up, his eyes flashed with an uncontrollable anger, like an enraged lion, and shouted: "Qin Liang's death can be said to be a death by mistake, but after that, he Wei Dahong didn't take the initiative to compensate, and he secretly concealed the truth and threw his body into the wild." not only falsely accused the bitter master, but also embarrassed everywhere in the city of Hangzhou, pressing step by step, and forced a life to death. He can escape the former, how can he escape from this person's life! In the past, you could say that you were oppressed and deceived by others, but after the fact, you understood the truth, but you still chose to hide it for him. You are willing to perfunctory this seat for them, don't think that this is not the capital of Dali Temple, the main seat will be hindered! You can't do anything to them, let me tell you, a few lives, none of you will want to escape. "The brain is full of Zhou Ruoshui's tragic death, and the anger can't be suppressed. Suddenly, there was a heart-piercing pain, and there seemed to be a foreign body stuck in his throat, and his eyebrows moved slightly, and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth in his mouth.
Liu Fuling, who was standing beside him, hurriedly supported him and said anxiously: "Young master, you 、、、、、、"
Lu Jue smiled sadly, shook his hand at him, sat down slowly, and said coldly: "If you are Lord Wang, how should you do it?" ”
After listening to Lu Jue's words, Wang Wen'an understood, but he didn't dare to speak out. just looked out the door anxiously, he had already sent someone to inform him before he came, hoping that Wei Dahong could escape this catastrophe.
But any hope is superfluous, and after a while, the night wind pressed Wei Dahong and walked in. After coming in, Yefeng replied: "Master, the defendant Wei Dahong brought it." ”
Lu Jue hummed lightly and waved his hand at him to signal him to step back.
"Yes" The night breeze responded, and walked a few steps forward to stand beside Lu Jue.
Lu Jue stretched out his hand to grab the startling wood, and said loudly: "Ascension"
When did the officials standing on both sides see such a scene, they all stood up straight and shouted: "Might、、、、、、 martial arts"
Wei Dahong, who was forced to kneel, had to give up after struggling several times to no avail. turned to look at Wen An, so that the eyes hinted at him.
But at this time, where did Wang Wenan have time to take care of him, because he knew very well that he was also unable to protect himself.
Originally, Lu Jue wanted to end the matter calmly, but seeing that Wei Dahong's hatred was difficult to control, he got up and walked in front of Wei Dahong, and asked condescendingly: "You set the fire in the abandoned house." Seeing Wei Dahong's body trembling, he couldn't understand. He snorted lightly, revealing a pair of indifferent eyes, raised his hand to remove the gag cloth that was stuck in his mouth, and continued: "This seat said that if you do evil again, you will be severely punished!" ”
As soon as the gag in his mouth was removed, Wei Dahong was relieved and immediately shouted: "Xiaomin is a person who does his duty, why did he arrest 、、、、、、?"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Jue raised his foot and kicked him to the ground, bent down and glared angrily at Wei Dahong, who was still unrepentant at this time, and shouted, "Does Qin Liang know?" ”
"I" Wei Dahong avoided Lu Jue's gaze, rolled his eyes a few times, and tried to think about how he should answer.
Lu Jue received all these in his eyes, and he would not give him any chance to quibble, grabbed his clothes, and scolded loudly: "Say that you don't know Qin Liang." ”
Wei Dahong was frightened by this voice, and stammered: "No, no, I don't know." ”
"Really? Okay" let go of his hand and stood up straight and shouted at the hall: "Bring the bitter master Qin Zhang, Qin Qiu, the witness Ding Chengzu, and the arsonist Li Quan." After speaking, he turned around and walked to the honest plaque and sat down, which was majestic and majestic.
After a while, several people were brought up by Lu Jue's guards.
Wei Dahong turned slightly to look at a few people, couldn't help but be startled, and then looked at the righteous Lu Jue, shrunk and trembled like a sieve, and also remembered what Lu Jue said that day, and began to regret not being at the beginning.
And Wang Wenan kept rubbing his hands, his two eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and his heart was not at peace.
Everyone went up to the lobby and knelt down and shouted: "Grass people, see Lord Siqing." ”
"The bitter lord can get up and reply." After that, Lu Jue looked at Wei Dahong coldly and asked again: "I'll ask you one last time, you ordered someone to set the fire in the abandoned house." ”
Before Wei Dahong could reply, Qin Zhang, who saw him, couldn't help but rush over, grabbed his clothes and beat him with all his strength while scolding: "Wei Dahong, take a good look, I wasn't burned to death by you, if the sky has eyes, you can pay for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, you won't have a good reward." ”
Because this is in the public court, and Lu Jue is present, Wei Dahong can only bear all this, and while helping with his hands, he still replied with a hard mouth: "I was wronged, my lord, quickly pull this wicked woman away." ”
But no one on the side intended to intervene, and who didn't see it was happy.
At the right time, Lu Jue motioned to others to pull away Qin Zhang's clan, glared at Wei Dahong, pointed at the arsonist Li Quan and said, "He is your subordinate." ”
"Yes" Wei Dahong raised his courage, tilted his head, and complained: "However, it is true that he is my subordinate, but I can't watch him every day, so I don't know what he has done." What he said was also framing me. ”
Hearing this, the arsonist named Li Quan hurriedly said: "How can you be like this, one person does things and one person does it!" ”
Wei Dahong glared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't frame me!" ”
The moon shadow on the side couldn't bear it for a long time, and without waiting for Lu Jue to speak, he stepped forward a few steps, grabbed him, and said viciously: "Wei Dahong, I said, I will pick you up a layer of skin." Turning his head to look at Lu Jue, he waited for him to say a word.
Lu Jue glanced at the two of them coldly, and sneered: "This seat has been in charge of Dali Temple for three years, and the torture in the cell has never been used completely. Since your answer is not as good as this seat, and since you want to be hard-mouthed, why don't you use them all on you today, I will see if these ten tortures are harsh, or if your bones are hard. Moon Shadow will be handed over to you next, whether you live or die! ”
"Young Master Xie." Moon Shadow threw Wei Dahong, who was holding in his hand, to the ground, and walked to the side to pick up the torture tools that had been prepared long ago.
Looking at this kind of torture equipment, Wei Dahong's body trembled, and he raised his eyes to ask Wang Wenan for help. Wang Wen'an took a step forward and hugged his fists and said: "My lord, this is inevitably a trick of torture, which is difficult to convince. ”
Lu Jue glanced at Wang Wen'an, raised her hand to signal Yueying, and only after she stopped did she snort: "There are a lot of cases in this seat, and there has never been an unjust, false or wrongful case under my subordinates, nor has anyone been wronged." Which of the people who have been sentenced by my hand is not a heinous crime, how can it be that now that it has reached Lord Wang, it has become a trick to be beaten. ”
Wang Wenan said: "Qin Liang fell to his death, Liu Dahong just didn't compensate in time, and the use of torture was serious. ”
"Oh" Lu Jue pulled a long voice, and snorted in a sharp tone: "Wei Dahong's crime, I don't believe that Lord Wang will not know anything about it, not so much that this seat is serious, it is better to say that the Lord is deliberately partial!" Originally, I missed my colleagues and informed the adults in advance, hoping that Lord Wang would enforce the law impartially for the sake of his career and future. The cold eyes said lightly: "But now it seems that this seat looks down on you." ”
Wang Wen'an had no way to defend himself, so he could only bow down and ask: "Everything is decided by the adults." ”
Lu Jue said in a chiseled manner: "Qin Liang accidentally fell to his death because Wei Dahong built a building, and Wei Dahong not only did not take the initiative to compensate afterwards, but instead threw the body in the wild to falsely accuse the deceased's family, so that the deceased's wife was unjustly beaten dozens of boards. Then he used the power of Wu Min, the general of Zhizhou and Jiangnan, to drive the old and weak women and children out of the house, so that the three of them were left and closed on the streets, and the three people who were begging were driven around, causing the mother of the deceased to be unbearable and committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake; The wife of the deceased had no money to seek medical treatment and her life hung by a thread, and then, fearing that her affair would be exposed, she set fire to her residence and took another life. Although Qin Liang and his mother were not killed by Wei Dahong himself, the consequences were extremely serious. There is a cause and there must be an effect, and now the verdict of this seat is as follows: first Wei Dahong will be escorted down and beaten 80 times, and after the sentence is completed, he will be paraded in flail for a month, and after the sentence is completed, he will be beheaded in prison, and all family property will be confiscated and confiscated. The son of the dead man is not allowed to enter the office; not to join the army; No farming; He was not allowed to do business, and his wife and daughter concubines were reduced to official maids. ”
"It's over." After listening to the verdict, Wei Dahong suddenly sat down on the ground, understood what it meant, and his whole person was also decadent.
Qin Zhang, who had to redress his grievances, pulled Xiaoqiu, knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply: "Lord Xie is the wife of the people." ”
As the Wupin Zhizhou Wang Wen'an is also familiar with the law, such a judgment is too serious, and the first two steps are striving: "Lord Siqing, such a judgment is difficult to convince the public, the distinction is too serious, and the law is 、、、、、、"
Lu Jue ruthlessly interrupted him and said: "Don't show off your knowledge in front of me, three people have died because of this, one of them was killed by his own hands, does Lord Wang think the sentence is still light!" Or Lord Wang questioned the ability of this seat. ”
In the next sentence, Wang Wenan didn't dare to say more, and panic rose in his heart and said: "The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare." ”
"This seat has given you the opportunity to take care of your official position and uphold the law of the country. It's because you didn't grasp it yourself, so what's the use of questioning this seat now. He walked to Wang Wen'an's side and continued: "Lord Wang's case is not good, and the situation is even more serious, this seat has already written a letter and sent someone to submit it to the ministry, and the order of demotion and retention will be issued in a few days." ”
Wang Wen'an sweated like rain at this time and said tremblingly: "Your Excellency is 、、、、、、 official."
Lu Jue smiled and said coldly: "I knew that this was the case, why did I have to do it at the beginning, but before the new governor took over, the matter of the state government was temporarily replaced by Lord Wang, so the judgment of Lord Wang can be objectionable." ”
Wang Wenan immediately knelt down and leaned over: "Lord Xie Siqing opened the net." ”
Glancing at the other two people kneeling on the ground, Lu Jue said again: "The two people directly related to this case will each be beaten fifty pounds, with one month of hard labor and five years in prison, and each will be fined two hundred taels of silver and handed over to the family of the deceased as compensation. The case was closed and the court was withdrawn. Under a burst of power, Lu Jue walked out without looking back
Wang Wen'an, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the back that was about to disappear into the black curtain. I really regret not being at the beginning, and now I have ended up with a demotion and retention, and I only sigh that I am unlucky and meet this white-faced Yama.
