A meal at noon. There are definitely a lot of people who don't eat well. Well, after all. I'm worried about it right now. It doesn't matter what kind of person thinks in mind. It's definitely restless. But comparatively. These people are outsiders. And Zhang Siwei himself, who is really a party. It's very calm. There was not the slightest hint of tension about the imminent end of the matter.

And. The Criminal Department prepared a lot of food and drinks for him today. It is also very exquisite. Zhang Siwei didn't care at all. I didn't seem to be affected by what was happening in front of me at all. also specially pulled Sun Piyang to drink a few glasses together. Duration. Zhang Siwei saw Sun Piyang with such a restless look. There was even a spirit to tease him. Said he was too solemn. The meal was too solemn. It's like the last one.

Speaking of which. This is unintentional. The listener is intentional. Zhang Siwei didn't have any consciousness at all. supported Sun Piyang who said so. The face is even more worried.

But in the end. Sun Piyang couldn't say anything after all. It's not that he's desperate for anything. It's just that he understands it too. If Zhang Siwei could maintain such a relaxed attitude. The trial will definitely be more beneficial to this side. It's just that Sun Piyang also understands. That's just compared to the previous ones. After all, Feng Bao has done so much work on this matter. Even if there is a good chance of winning here. It definitely takes a lot of effort to win. Instead of saying anything to discourage Zhang Siwei's enthusiasm. It's better to keep it at that. It's good that he has enough spirits.

Saying. This time is the second triage of the three divisions of the Wanli Dynasty. It's just that the last time it wasn't an ordinary three divisions. And this time is also different from the last Minister Wang. Last time, after all, the nature of the matter was bad. Assassinate the Emperor. That's no joke. And this time it's a lot better. So this time the concession. At the time of triage. The ministers of the court can watch from the sidelines. Only this time. Empress Dowager Li also made a decree. Audits are audits. If any one of them speaks during the trial. And it was not only the man who asked for thirty rods. And everyone else will be expelled as well. Without exception.

Frankly. All of a sudden. That's pretty ruthless. After all, the court staff. It is jointly run by the celebrant and the brocade guard. It's just that it's a joint leader. It was the celebrant who gave the order. The person who went up to hit the board with his own hands was Jinyiwei's. But. In fact, although this group of people has the name of Jinyiwei. But almost all of them obeyed Feng Bao's orders.

And on this matter. Feng Bao's position has already been made clear. If someone dares to stand up and say something unfavorable to Feng Bao. The rod came down. Definitely a human life. As a matter of fact. Even if you don't hear it with your own ears. But everyone definitely thought of it a long time ago. Feng Bao must have already explained. If anyone is taken to the court for this. There is definitely no going back.

Thirty of the Imperial Staff. Say it's thirty. As a matter of fact. If you really want to kill someone. It doesn't take that much at all. Ten strokes is enough. It's just that everyone understands. Feng Bao is definitely not such a "gentle" person. It is said that it is thirty rods. He will never let people go to "enjoy Qingfu" in advance. It's definitely going to have to be 30 boards. It's painful. It is estimated that it will have to be delayed for a few more days. Let the pain linger for a while. And then die.

This. It's not that Feng Bao is blamed for being cruel. It's just that it's now. Basically anyone can guess. Feng Bao must have done this. So. As soon as the news came out. There was no gossip in the court.

So, well. This is a must-go. But I guess many people will "comply". Although it was forced. But so. A lot of people also see it. When the time comes. If the outcome of the trial really upset these people. It is estimated that there will still be a trouble. Of course. At that time. Feng Bao will no longer embarrass them. Well, after all. The triage is over. And. Most importantly. As long as the outcome of the trial is certain. These people are making trouble again. There is no way to change it.

Although said. Even if it is triaged. Want to convict. In the end, it is still necessary to leave the outcome of the trial to the emperor to decide. But this thing. After all, the nature is bad. Even when the time comes, the Manchu civil and military are opposed. But the results came out. If the emperor changes himself. The consequences are unimaginable. In this way. No one can change anything.

Afternoon. It's just over time. Shen Shi only showed his head. In the lobby of the Dali Temple. It's already full of people coming to the area. Naturally, the upper seat is the first seat of the three divisions. Sun Piyang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Ge Shouli, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Liu Siwen, the secretary of Dali Temple, were three. And aside. There were also Feng Bao and Zhang Fan.

Originally. These three divisions will triage. Naturally, there can be no outsiders. No matter how powerful Feng Bao and Zhang Fan are today. Not really. Only this time it's different. After all, this case is not only investigated by the Criminal Department. In the beginning. Jinyiwei and Dongchang are involved. So let them come as well. After all, it is also possible to provide clues.

And that's just. And it's not just these people here. Several Cabinet Fellows also have seats. The first person is naturally Zhang Juzheng himself. As for the others who came to watch the audit. Naturally, there are no seats. After all, this place is no matter how big it is. You can't find a seat for everyone.

The time has passed. It's already time to open the case. The three people in the upper seat looked at each other. Although said here. The status of the three is equal. Although it is said that the power to execute the prison lies in the criminal department. But this is the territory of Dali Temple after all. As for Ge Shouli. His biggest role here is to ensure the fairness of the trial. And this. It is also the biggest "test" for Feng Bao. The three looked at each other. See so. Liu Siwen no longer shirked. opened his mouth and said: "Outside the capital the day before yesterday. The case of inciting the people to make trouble. The trial will be held today. ”

Liu Si asked this. The following chatter was gone. Visible. That warning. It was really remembered by everyone. No one wants to commit it afterward. Feng Bao found some reason and disappeared.

"Everything is ready now." Liu Siwen looked at it. Said. "Bringing people to commit crimes."

Forthwith. Eight of the officials wore dirty prison uniforms. Although there are no obvious scars on the outside. But it was also brought up by people who were sluggish. It was the eight people who took the lead in making trouble that Zhang Fan captured at the scene that day.

"Who's kneeling. Register your name. Liu Si asked.

"Grass man Zhang Debiao." "Lin Yue." "Wang San'er." "Zhao Ming." "Liu ......" reported their names one by one. And between the words. A look of dejection. It's like being sentenced to death. It's boring. Not the slightest bit of anger.

Zhang Fan sitting on the side. Even if I've sighed countless times. Now I can't help but sigh again in my heart. One has to admire. Feng Bao's people are so dedicated. Even at this time. also looks like the whole body is a play. The appearance of vowing to carry out the duty to the end. It's not okay to be unconvinced.

"Where are you?" Liu Siwen didn't ask these questions. Keep asking. But then again. It's just that even people like Zhang Fan who know what is going on can't see it. Liu Si asked this person who didn't know the inside story at all. Naturally, it is even more impossible to see anything.

"Eight grass people...... It's all ...... Shandong people. One of them spoke.

"All of them are from Shandong." Liu Siwen continued to ask. "Live in the same place. I've known each other before. Or maybe we haven't met before. Because of this thing, we will know each other. ”

"Returning to your lordship......" said the other man. The voice sounded a little trembling. "The grass people and others used to live in the same town. Nature knows each other. ”

"In other words......" Sun Piyang on the side spoke. You guys before that. It is to obey someone. This time it was also after getting news from him. Then he came to the capital. Then they will make trouble among the other people. Yes and no. ”

"Such as ...... As adults say. Correct...... Exactly. The man below replied in a whisper.

"It's not unusual." Liu Siwen spoke. "Look at you. Since you can read it, you can understand it. Then come to think of it. Also people who have read books. Since I have read the book. And you won't be unaware. Something like this was done. What will happen? I knew that it was a certain thing to die. But I still have to do it. There must be some reason for this. ”

"What Lord Liu said is right." Sun Piyang on the side said. "It can make people willing. Risking life and death to do things. Either that person spent a fortune. Either that, or for another reason. I'm going to ask you. There's something going on. ”

"This ......" several people hesitated. But one of them spoke anyway. "Back to my lord. Engong has a life-saving grace for the grass people. Although the grass people haven't read much. I don't understand any big truths. But if there is no rescue from Engong on the same day. The grass people have long been in different places. Now. Engong wants a few people to do things. Even if it costs your life. The grass people are also unrelenting. ”

"Oh. True. Sun Piyang obviously. I don't believe their answers. After all, it's easy to say. But it's hard to do. Especially if it's a thing that looks prettier. It's even harder to do.

"Your Excellency. Everything the grass people said was true. Immediately, someone in the middle spoke. That look like a sworn gamble. "The grass people and others have received such a great favor from Eun Gong. There is no retribution. Now the public has a request. How could the grass people not agree? ”

"Hmm. That's right. Liu Siwen continued. Merely. I don't believe it. That's what all eight of you think in your hearts. After all, it's a life-threatening matter. None of you have any other ideas? All of them are willing to die. ”

"This ......" obviously. Compared to the pretty words. Liu Siwen's words were more reasonable. Let the eight people below be speechless for a while.

"Ahem. Lord Liu. We have something to say. "This time. Feng Bao on the side couldn't hold back.
