Chapter Eighty-Four: The Three Divisions Interrogated Xu Zhen and lost his mind

Let's say that the three envoys arrived at the Wannian County Office, sat in the court, and many officials put on a prestige, and then began to officially review the Kaisa murder case.

Although Xu Zhen has obtained an official position, he will not be impulsive enough to interfere with the judiciary, except for Li Mingda in this Chang'an, it can be said that he is helpless, Li Jing has closed the door, and He Li is of a different race, and he is excluded everywhere, and the situation is not very good.

Although Wei Chi Jingde favored Xu Zhen, but since he suffered from the teachings of the saint, he repented of his impulsive and irritable temperament, restrained his arrogance, and no longer arrogant, let alone compete with others.

At this time, he could only wait impatiently outside the yamen with Zhang Jiunian, and he couldn't even open the door when he went in to observe.

Besides, in this yamen, there is a member of the criminal department, Helan Baishi, who is the younger brother of Helan Chushi, a thousand cows in the East Palace, and Helan Chushi is the son-in-law of the Marquis Junji of Chen Guogong, and is highly valued by the crown prince Li Chengqian.

As for the supervision of the imperial history among the three envoys, it is Du Chuke's protΓ©gΓ© Zhao Yong, who is a high-minded person, does not know how to be flexible, and is known to be a die-hard loyalist.

These three are people Xu Zhen recognizes, it is Liu Shuyi, who followed Li Jing on the expedition to Tuyuhun and was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple after the class teacher, the son of Liu Wenjing!

If this death case is not mentioned, Helan Baishi can also be regarded as a force in the East Palace, Zhao Yong is the person on the side of Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Liu Shuyi wants to support Li Zhi, the king of Jin.

Looking at it this way, the competition behind this case has become more and more intense.

Since the facts of the case were clear and Caesar did not quibble, the three presiding judges quickly figured out what had happened.

Caesar is an alien woman, not as graceful as the Tang Dynasty lady, and she didn't cover her gorgeous face when she went out, but she attracted Du Huan's covetousness and wanted to bully her, but she didn't expect Caesar to be a strange woman with martial arts, so Du Huan couldn't ask for it, so he drove many evil servants to rob it.

Although he knew that there were also those who were too bold to be brave among the evil servants, after falling into the wind, they actually became evil to the side of the bold, and manipulated the sword, threatening the life and death of Caesar, and this Caesar could not sit still, and pulled out the short blade of self-defense, but it caused the big case of four deaths and three injuries.

Of course, there is no shortage of one-sided words, but Caesar does not refute, which also makes Liu Shuyi, who is biased, quite embarrassed, he has privately asked about the Wannian county order, this Caesar once mentioned that there is no shortage of good hands among those evil servants, not like ordinary generals, but they are outlaws, and they have murderous intentions, and in the end even Du Huan can't control it, unlike the flower slave who is a tiger, but more like a headhunter who licks blood with a knife!

Liu Shuyi has his own sensitivity, and he can deduce from this information that this group of people may not just be for sex, but to blind Du Huan to the dark, but the real intention is to kill Caesar, to cut off Xu Zhen's arm, or have the intention of knocking on the mountain and killing the tiger to make an example of the monkey!

Although it is a matter of course to kill people to repay debts and debts, the Tang Dynasty policy is tolerant, and there are few capital punishments, if the death penalty is obtained, it must be reported to the Son of Heaven to be decided, and no matter which side is, they only hope to deal with this matter as soon as possible, and no one dares to let the Son of Heaven know, so as not to see the light of day in the private struggle.

This Zhao Yong is Du Chuke's die-hard loyalty, as a superintendent of the imperial history, although the rank is low, but the authority is extremely large, when the Holy Special Exception allowed Xu Zhen to enter the palace, he had indignation in his heart, and he wanted to go to the court to knock Dan Ji and die, but was stopped by Du Chuke.

This person has long been jealous of Xu Zhen, and now that Xu Zhen's slave girl has killed her own son-in-law, she is bound to take the opportunity to humiliate Xu Zhen fiercely, but this new Yiwei Zhonglang will lose face!

Helan Baishi had been instructed by the prince not to take any action against Xu Zhen, but to stay away from Xu Zhen, and when he encountered the case of Caesar, he also knew the intentions of his master, and he said that he had to pull Caesar, but the supervision of the imperial history was Du Chuke's diehard, so it was not easy to maneuver.

As a member of the Criminal Department, Helan Chushi was the one who finally took the case, so after weighing it, Helan Chushi also made his own decision.

Since the death penalty needs to be reported, and the three families do not want to do so, Helan Chushi has also been clean, but although Caesar is Xu Zhen's close servant, he has not taken off his lowly status, and he is still Xu Zhen's servant in name, and he killed Du Chuke's noble son Du Huan as a slave.

The "Zhenguan Law" has its own provisions, and the criminal responsibility is nothing more than the five punishments of "flogging, rod, imprisonment, exile, and death". Ten to fifty strokes are flogging, sixty to one hundred strokes are rods, and imprisonment is hard labor, which is usually paired with exile, and exile is exile, which is divided into two thousand li, two thousand five hundred li, and three thousand li.

As for the death penalty, there is only hanging, beheading, even if it is a heinous crime (note), it is not necessarily the death penalty, and there is a policy of commutation because of the existence of a policy of commutation.

There are eight reductions and exemptions, such as those of Xu Zhen, which are not big or small, but this reduction and exemption needs to be cautious.

Helan Baishi hesitated for a while, and finally came to a conclusion: "The facts of the case are clear, the evidence is conclusive, although the creeping (i.e., Rouran) woman Caesar killed and injured others, but the dead and injured had misdeeds first, it should be self-defense prevention, and the capital crime can be commuted, but the living crime cannot be escaped, this official has decided to exile 2,000 miles and be sentenced to one year in prison, do you have any objections?" ”

Liu Shuyi couldn't help frowning, this East Palace didn't dare to be too ostentatious, but it was clear that these villains were the first to commit murder, Caesar took care of himself and defended himself, and had to do it as a last resort, the punishment of the exiles was too heavy, and besides, treating Xu Zhen's neighbors like this, presumably the latter would have to ask for help everywhere, and finally it was impossible to say that it would involve Dali Temple, or even a higher level.

"Helan is unfair, this case is clear, Caesar is just a last resort to save his life, and it is not intentional killing, this Shaoqing thinks that it should be punished lightly and lashed forty."

This Helan Baishi had expected that Liu Shuyi would object, and when he heard the other party like this, his heart was also terrified, and he threw out this sentencing, precisely to represent Liu Shuyi of the Jin Palace, and Zhao Yong, who represented Li Tai, the king of Wei, to fight against each other, this Liu Shuyi was really fooled, and now he is waiting for Zhao Yong to exert his might!

Sure enough, Helan Baishi hadn't refuted yet, and Zhao Yong couldn't sit still, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Helan Baishi and Liu Shuyi were surprised.

"Zhao also felt that Helan Yuanwailang's sentence was too heavy, but this foreign murderous slave killed and injured a lot, but it is an indisputable fact, if you don't deter with a strong law, but you can't set an example, a certain opinion is a hundred rods!"

As soon as Zhao Yong's words came out, Liu Shuyi's heart suddenly turned cold, this guy wanted to beat Kaisa to death in public, so that Xu Zhen would be humiliated!

Helan Baishi was also horrified, originally surprised when this Zhao Yong became so good at negotiating, and actually moved the idea of calming people, where do you know, this person is extremely enthusiastic and black!

If he is exiled to another place, Xu Zhen can also find a good place for this Caesar with some connections, and dredge relatives and friends to take care of each other, and he will not suffer too much.

But this Zhao Yong proposed a hundred cane punishments, Mo said that Caesar was a female streamer in the end, and his body bones could not withstand the beating, he was the fierce and strong guard, after beating this hundred, he would have to take off several layers of skin if he didn't die!

And this cane punishment needs to be carried out with his chest exposed, Kaisa is a person close to Xu Zhen, so in broad daylight, how can people save face?

Liu Shuyi naturally had to be thorough, and as Helan Baishi expected, he debated with Zhao Yong, quoted scriptures, and counted the detailed provisions of Tang Law,-for-tat, and did not give in.

This quarrel in the hall, but Xu Zhen was anxious, and when he was at a loss, Zhou Cang brought the remaining twelve Hongjia brothers over, all wearing Yiwei's armor, thinking that he heard that the master mother was suffering, and took off his post and ran out to relieve the rescue array!

Those yamen servants saw that there were more than a dozen people as soon as the Son of Heaven came, but their faces turned pale, and Zhou Cangwu pressed his knife and shouted: "The blind thief who killed the heavens, rushed into my aunt, killed him, and dared to tie up people, dare not see your brother's good craftsmanship!" ”

This guy was also reckless, and he was about to draw his knife when he said it, but fortunately, Zhang Jiunian was an old schemer after all, so he hurriedly dissuaded him, so he didn't cause another bloody case.

Zhou Cang saw that Xu Zhen frowned and was worried, shook off Zhang Jiunian, and ran over to pry Xu Zhen again: "Lord, you are concerned about chaos, when have we suffered such a loss, have you forgotten the kindness of Caesar Lady?" If that's the case, we Zhou Cang can look down on the lord! ”

This guy has always been open-mouthed, how can anyone dare to speak to his master like this? However, Xu Zhen regards these individuals as siblings, and he is also estranged from each etiquette, and he knows that Zhou Cang is upright and unyielding, but this is also a truth, if he Xu Zhen can't even keep his own woman, don't say that these life-changing brothers, even he looks down on himself!

Zhang Jiunian saw that Xu Zhen's eyes burst out with a ferocious anger that could only be seen on the battlefield, and he secretly said that it was not good, and he also scolded Zhou Cang for not knowing the situation, but at a critical juncture, he teased the anger and blood of the lord, making the lord lose his calm, once Xu Zhen made a move and collided with the yamen justice, the more out of control this matter became!

"The lord must not be reckless and impulsive, and think twice, but this kind of behavior is not done by those who have achieved great things!"

Xu Zhen had already held down the long knife at this time, and said that he would have to break through this yamen, where could he listen to Zhang Jiunian's words!

When he was about to cause trouble, he saw a person surrounded by family servants, and hurried over, and the carriage and horse jumped down before they could stop, and opened their mouths to call: "Xu Lang will be a little restless!" Calm down! ”

Xu Zhen heard the shouting, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a short-bearded elder coming quickly, his right sleeve flying, but he was a one-armed strange man, and he searched quickly in his brain, but he couldn't find relevant historical records, and he was probably just a nameless person.

However, even if he could call Xu Zhen's name, it could not be the rescuers sent by Li Jing or Qi Qi He Li, Wei Chi Jingde and others, Xu Zhen also had hope in his heart, and pushed the head of the knife back into the scabbard.

Although Xu Zhen didn't know this person, Zhang Jiunian's eyes were shining, and he gave Xu Zhen a question: "This person is the secretary of the Jin Palace, Zhao Gongcun is also, in the past, Suizhou Si Cao joined the army, was plundered by the Turkic savages, and was alone in the treasury, and was broken by the Turkic Shi Luo, although there were only ten money in the treasury, but he was loyal to this point, and then he was valued by the saint and entered the Jin Palace. ”

After Zhang Jiunian's explanation, Xu Zhen looked at this one-armed servant Yu Shi again, but he had another feeling, since he was Li Zhi's person, he was obviously here to help him Xu Zhen, and immediately greeted him, the two of them were about the same rank, but there was a gap in age, Xu Zhen called Mr. Xu as a matter of course, and Zhao Gongcun was also well-deserved.

This Zhao Gongcun is a person who can do things, in charge of many matters in the Jin Palace, in an orderly and orderly manner, Li Zhi treats him as a teacher, at this critical juncture, he does not ask Xu Zhen for warmth, and gets straight to the point: "Little brother Xu, wait a while, wait for someone to enter to find out, and then break down with you!" ”

Xu Zhenxin was overjoyed and saw Zhao Gong enter the yamen.
