Text Chapter 168 Three Divisions Triage!
On August 14, the sky was clear.
Another day will be the most important festival in Dahan Kingdom, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Yunjing City is filled with the lively atmosphere of autumn harvest sacrifices, but the mansion of the Criminal Department is cold and dignified from the inside out.
Today is the day when the Criminal Department tried the Baiweilou case!
Early in the morning, many people who heard the news came to the door to stop and watch, and when it came to the hour (seven o'clock in the morning), the main gate of the criminal department, which had not been opened for a long time, was suddenly pulled away by the jailers from both sides, and with the sound of neat and heavy footsteps, two teams of officers and soldiers with solemn faces came out in turn from the inside, and the people who stopped and watched from the trial hall all the way to the road were heavily guarded!
After a commotion in the crowd, Chen Gong, dressed in official uniform, walked out of the back hall, sitting behind the high case in the middle, his expression was cold, he raised his eyes and swept the people who stopped outside, although it was still a yard away, the sound of the crowd immediately disappeared cleanly.
"He is Chen Gong!"
"What a terrible momentum!"
Not many people have seen Chen Gong, and suddenly saw him at this moment, although Chen Gong is not as terrifying as the three heads and six arms like a demon as rumored, but this pair of cold and ruthless eyes full of oppression is enough to frighten everyone and dare not take a breath.
After Chen Gong sat down, another young man came up in the back hall, his handsome face with a gentle smile, as if he was the son of the autumn tour, but the black and golden official uniform on his body showed that his identity was not inferior to Chen Gong.
Ling Qinglan glanced at the people who had stopped to watch outside the Criminal Department, and sat on the right side of Chen Palace with a folding fan in her hand.
Then, two middle-aged men in blue official uniforms came out of the back hall, and these two people bowed to Chen Gong and sat in the two positions on the left side of Chen Gong.
Chen Gong glanced at Ling Qinglan, who was calm and relaxed, and his voice full of energy spread throughout the hall:
"In the case of Baiweilou, six out of seventy were injured and five were killed! The stakes are significant, and according to the law of Dahan, this case is a triad of three divisions! It was judged by the official, Ling Qinglan, the secretary of Dali Temple, Cui Ziliang and Sang He of the Imperial History Stage, in order to show justice! Because the Su family and Dali Temple have an old relationship, Dali Temple only has the right to speak in this case, and has no right to vote! Do you have any objections? ”
After saying that, Cui Ziliang and Sang He immediately got up and replied in unison: "The lower officials have no objections. ”
The smile on Ling Qinglan's face remained unchanged, his official rank was the same as that of Chen Gong, so he didn't need to salute, he immediately just folded a fan, nodded lightly and smiled: "Lord Chen, please." ”
"So, take the prisoner ......"
"Wait!"
Chen Gong was halfway through his words, when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice from the side door, he frowned slightly, and looked coldly.
I saw a sixty-year-old man wearing a crane official uniform and a wrinkled face walking with a gloomy face, and the figure behind him swayed, as if there were other people.
Chen Gong saw that his heart sank slightly, this person was the bitter master of this case, Ma Ling's father, Ma Weiming, the head of the household department.
"Chen Gong, you used the laws of the Criminal Department to block the official for half a month, so that the official didn't see his son! This time, this official has obtained His Majesty's permission to sit on the sidelines, do you have any objections? ”
As soon as they met, Ma Weiming spoke angrily, even if the people watched, they didn't give Chen Gong any face. Seeing that the two doctors of Yushitai were slightly shocked, Ling Qinglan was not surprised at all.
Ma Weiming has no shortage of offspring under his knees, but Ma Ling has a son, and he is forty years old, he can't wait to spoil Ma Ling to the sky, he is really afraid of melting in his mouth.
Then one day, he suddenly got the news of his son's death, Chen Gong admitted his death and stopped him for more than ten days, so that Ma Ling Chen's corpse punishment department, it was not easy for him to talk to Chen Gong like this.
"Your Majesty's dictation, how dare this official not listen. Come on, show Master Ma a seat. Chen Gong commanded, and immediately a pawn moved the Taishi chair for Ma Weiming to sit down, "It's just Master Ma, and listening is listening." Don't interfere in the trial of the case, otherwise even if it gets to Your Majesty's side, this official will not let go of anyone who dares to flout the law of the Great Letter! ”
“…… You! ”
Ma Weiming's eyes widened, and he pointed at Chen Gong and trembled with anger, when did he receive such a reprimand in his official residence, even His Majesty the Emperor was kind to him, this cool official who was full of criminal laws...... That's it, as long as his son's revenge can be avenged smoothly, I won't meet him today!
"Master Chen, don't come unharmed!"
Behind Ma Weiming, Ma Jintian's figure suddenly appeared, "The kid was ordered by his father to come to listen to this case and try his best to ensure the justice of this case." Don't mind Lord Chen......"
There was one more person who was listening, Chen Gong felt troubled, but he was silent on the surface, and snorted coldly, "I don't care how many people are here to listen?" But if you interfere with the court trial, don't blame the official for being ruthless and drive you out! ”
"Of course, the trial is Lord Chen, you come, how dare the kid disturb?" Ma Jintian laughed, and a ray of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that the words were dead, Chen Gong had no reason to drive Ma Jintian out, and Cui Zi, who was sitting on the side, was blocked in his conscience, why did so many people come before he was promoted to the court?
Originally, when he heard the order of the eldest prince himself, he thought that he had a beautiful difference, but after he came, he realized that this was a beautiful difference, and it was clearly a pool of muddy water!
Chen Gong's face was tense, and he was about to say something, but he heard another movement coming from the side door.
Ma Jintian's face was slightly gloomy, and there was someone behind him? It shouldn't be.
Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see a young man's servant pushing a wheelchair into the lobby of the Criminal Department, the young man with an evil smile on the wheelchair, who was not Ling Li!
He, a big gentleman, how could he come to the court for trial?!
At this moment, even Chen Gong, whose face did not change before the landslide, also had a look of surprise on his face. The rest of the people, except for Ling Qinglan, had dull faces and couldn't understand it.
Ling Qinglan frowned slightly, he had been focusing on Su Qingtan for the past few days, and he didn't have much contact with Ling Li, and he didn't know what the reason was for Ling Li's appearance here today.
Ling Li hung his eyebrows and said lazily, "What? Ma Jintian, can you come this kid? I can't come? Anyway, my father was the king of Zhennan before his death, and I was a little prince in terms of identity, and I didn't even have the qualifications to listen to the case? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized that it was still a competition between gentlemen.
Ma Jintian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he said gloomily: "Ling Li, if you mess around today, even your brother won't be able to save you." ”
He finally made suggestions in front of the fifth master, and he was going to implement it when he came here today, but he didn't want Ling Li to come out and make trouble, if he was disturbed by this scoundrel boy, where would he have the face to go back and tell the fifth master?
Chen Gong also frowned and said in a deep voice: "Ling Li, the criminal department is heavy." Not the land of your spills! Quickly retreat! ”
Ling Li picked his ears, "Don't worry, Master Ma is dead and his own son, how can this king not even know the severity of this possibility?" ”
The corners of Ma Weiming's mouth twitched when he heard this, but Ling Li was unconscious, and continued: "I will watch this case from the side, and I will never make trouble. If I really do something, how about letting this king not lift it in this life? ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, is Ling Li really?
Such an oath is definitely poisonous to the gentleman, and the poisonous oath that can no longer be poisoned is quite convincing.
"Well, let him stay here. Lord Chen, let's start the interrogation quickly. Ma Weiming said weakly, he didn't have the heart to play tricks with the gentleman anymore.
Since the bitter master was fine, Chen Gong did not continue to drive Ling Li away, but instead shouted loudly: "Take the prisoners Su Huanli and Su Li...... Come up! ”
Ling Li sat on the side, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and a cold voice sounded in Ling Mo's mind, "How are you preparing?" ”
Ling Mo, who was standing behind Ling Li, bowed his head slightly, "It has been arranged, today's court trial, inside and outside, the officers and soldiers and jailers are all our people." In the end, if Miss Su Li is to be punished, we can all save Miss Su Li out without realizing it. ”
Ling Li nodded slightly, casually glancing at the queue of jailers extending out of the hall, and sighed lightly in his heart. No matter what the outcome of the final interrogation is, Su Li must not be fine, otherwise...... Ling Qinglan's life was not guaranteed.
Thinking about it, a group of people in white prison uniforms were escorted up, and Su Li followed behind Su Huanli with shackles and leg cuffs.
"Grass people Su Huanli, meet the adults! Grass Folk ...... Wronged! ”
Su Huanli's face turned pale, although he was only tortured a little during this time, the torture in his heart did not have to be less tortured at all. He knelt down with a thud, his voice trembling violently, and his body trembling like chaff.
Su Li knelt down, and a timid voice followed, "Grass people Su Li, meet your lord." ”
Behind him, a group of juniors knelt down in a big way, many of them had blue noses and swollen faces, and some people lost a lot of weight, and their life in prison was not easy.
"Right and wrong have their own opinions, and this official will not let go of any thief, nor will he kill any good person by mistake."
Chen Gong said lightly, patted the board, and asked in a deep voice: "Su Huanli!" What were you doing on the day of the incident? ”
Su Huanli was excited, and quickly said: "The grass people still run the restaurant as before, Baiwei Lou has been fine for so many days after it has been opened, I still count on Baiwei Lou to support my family, how can I be poisoned?" This doesn't make sense! ”
Cui Ziliang stood up and smiled coldly, and said, "People with murderous intentions, why should they be reasonable? Maybe it was because he felt that there were too few people when he first opened, and he waited until the business was booming before he was poisoned. ”
Su Huanli was stunned when he heard this, and waved his hand in a panic: "Adult Mingjian, the villain is just a businessman, how can he kill him?" ”
"You don't, what about your daughter Su Li?"
Cui Ziliang's ill-intentioned gaze fell on Su Li, "As a doctor of imperial history, this official also has a sufficient understanding of this case. Su Huanli, whether it is the dishes or the design of the stove in the back hall, Baiwei Lou is from your daughter's hand, right? ”
"Yes, yes... Oh, yes. ”
Su Huanli nodded dumbly, Cui Ziliang immediately succeeded, and then said: "But all the profits of the restaurant have been swallowed by you alone, your son and daughter have not received half a cent, and they have not even bought a single piece of clothing for their daughter, they are as stingy as a ghost!" You did this in Dasu Town, and you still did it when you arrived in Yunjing. So your daughter has a grudge and wants to destroy Baiwei Tower, am I right? ”
Miscellaneous... What the?
Su Huanli turned his head to look at Su Li, completely stunned.
