Li Chengqian's political career in the past ten years has not been given in vain. Flash Dance

At the beginning, Li Er asked Li Chengqian to try to write a strategy for governing the country, but Li Chengqian quickly filled three pages, and the content in it was very valuable.

Li Er was very satisfied after reading it, and even proudly showed off his son's skills in front of the minister.

Li Er often took out the strategy of governing the country written by Li Chengqian and showed off to the ministers: "The prince first talks about the punishment and prison, and he is deeply important to the state!" ”

It is enough to prove how Li Chengqian's ability is, and now that Li Er is not in good health, Li Er naturally hopes that Li Chengqian can focus on the court and military and political affairs.

In the trial of Zhang Liang's rebellion, Li Er already had a suitable candidate in his heart.

"Ma Zhou!" Li Er shouted among the ministers.

"The minister is here!" Ma Zhou, the waiter of the Chinese book, hurriedly got up and went out of the queue and saluted.

"I order you to preside over the trial of Zhang Liang's rebellion, be sure to thoroughly investigate this matter, and report it to the prince first after the case is clear! It will be decided by the prince and then reported to me. Li Er instructed Ma Zhou to interrogate Zhang Liang.

"Command!" Ma Zhou saluted.

"Someone's coming!" Li Er shouted, and the guards waiting outside the hall hurriedly ran in.

"Removed Zhang Liang from the post of secretary of the Criminal Department, imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, and waited for his fate." Li Er said.

The guards immediately stepped forward to take off Zhang Liang's black gauze hat, and then escorted Zhang Liang to the prison of Dali Temple.

"That's all for today, let's all disperse! Retreat! Li Er said and turned to leave.

"Retreat~Chao~" After Wang Yuan opened his throat and shouted, he hurriedly followed Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er left the Taiji Hall with a congratulatory voice from the minister, and after Li Er left, everyone got up and left the Taiji Palace.

"This matter still needs to be bothered by Ma Shilang." Li Chengqian took Ma Zhou's hand and said.

"Your Highness, although rest assured, the minister will do his best to handle this case and take his leave!" Ma Zhou bowed and retreated.

After Ma Zhou left, he went to Dali Temple first, and asked the people of Dali Temple to arrest Gongsun Chang and Cheng Gongying, who were also involved in the rebellion.

Ma Zhou personally interrogated Zhang Liang, hoping that Zhang Liang would take the initiative to confess the crime.

The jailer opened the cell, Ma Zhou walked in, and bowed his hand to Zhang Liang: "Yun Guogong, this official has come to try your case of rebellion by the will of His Majesty. ”

"Ma Shilang, I, Zhang Liang, am wronged, there must be a bad guy who slanders and frames me, you must be aware and wash away my grievances."

"I, Zhang Liang, am loyal to Your Majesty, I have no two hearts, there must be a traitor and villain who framed me to rebel, Ma Shilang, you must make this matter clear to Your Majesty!" Zhang Liang was wronged when he opened and closed his mouth. Flash Dance

Ma Zhou looked at Zhang Liang quietly, whether Zhang Liang was wronged or not, after the investigation, it would be revealed, this time to see Zhang Liang, Ma Zhou didn't think that he could get any answer from Zhang Liang's mouth.

Without the sinner who rebelled and did not cry out for injustice, who would be so stupid to directly admit his crimes.

At this time, a jailer came to Ma Zhou's side and whispered something in Ma Zhou's ear.

After hearing this, Ma Zhou said to Zhang Liang: "Yun Guogong, you are so good to stay here, if you are really wronged, you will naturally be innocent." ”

Ma Zhou said that, turned around and left the prison, he was going to interrogate the informant Chang Dexuan, and the jailer locked the cell door again.

Ma Zhou came to the public court, and after prevaricating with Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, he sat on the main seat of the public court.

Today is Ma Zhou's presiding trial of Zhang Liang's rebellion, so naturally Ma Zhou wants to sit in the main seat.

Dali Temple Qing Sun Fujia as the chief official of Dali Temple, Dali Temple is the home of people, Ma Zhou also needs help, so Sun Fujia sat next to Ma Zhou to assist in handling the case.

The jury also included Di Renjie, the young secretary of Dali Temple, whose ability to judge cases is one of the best in Dali Temple, and he can quickly try the case with his assistance.

The most important point is that Di Renjie is the prince of the East Palace, which is also the reason why Sun Fujia advocated that Di Renjie should be tried by jury.

It seems that Ma Zhou is the presiding judge of Zhang Liang's rebellion case, but in fact, the prince is the real presiding judge, and Ma Zhou is just an errand runner.

"Bring Chang Dexuan, a Shaanxi man, up." Ma sat down on the third day and asked someone to bring the informer.

"The little one has seen three masters!" Chang Dexuan was taken to the court and knelt on the ground.

"Let me ask you, you accused Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, of plotting rebellion, do you have any evidence?" Ma Zhou asked.

"Zhang Shangshu's family has 500 fake children, all of them are strong and powerful, and I heard that they are all masters."

"The villain saw with his own eyes that there are no less than 100 people entering and leaving Zhang Shangshu's mansion every day, and each body has different characteristics, no less than 500 people." Chang Dexuan said, he swore that he had seen it with his own eyes.

A false son refers to the son of the husband's ex-wife or the son of the wife's ex-husband.

The other refers to the meaning of adopted son and adopted son.

"These alone are not enough to show that Zhang Shangshu has the intention of rebellion, but is there any other evidence?" Di Renjie asked.

Zhang Liang raised so many adopted sons, at most, he said that he was plotting against him, and he could not rise to the level of rebellion, if it was based on what Chang Dexuan said, it would not be enough to convict Zhang Liang of plotting against him.

Besides, whether it is really as Chang Dexuan said, Zhang Liangfeng raised 500 fake children, it remains to be verified.

"This is a time when the villain was in a restaurant, and I heard someone say that the other party was drunk at the time, and said to another person that Zhang Liang was going to rebel, so I came to denounce Zhang Liang." Changde Xuandao.

"Oh! Who said it, how to say it specifically, why didn't you come to Dali Temple to complain, but to find the imperial history? Ma Zhou felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"I don't remember exactly what I said! But I know that the person's name is Cheng Gongying, and this person said it when he was drunk. ”

"As for why I didn't come here to complain, but told Yushi, it was because I didn't know that the yamen could handle this case, and I was a little scared, so I didn't dare to come to the yamen to report it."

"And there happens to be a royal historian living next door to me, and after thinking about it, I decided to tell the imperial historian about it." What Chang Dexuan said is reasonable.

Even so, it cannot be confirmed that Zhang Liang is a rebel.

"Go down first! When you need to testify, we will summon you to the court. Ma Zhou said.

The official kept Chang Dexuan down.

"What do you two think about this?" Ma Zhou asked Sun Fujia and Di Renjie.

"The matter has not yet been decided, and it may be unexpected to bring the other two people involved in the rebellion to the trial for trial." Di Renjie said.

"That's right! What Di Shaoqing said is that I also have this intention. Sun Fujia echoed, no matter what the result is, it will be the same for Sun Fujia.

Ma Zhou saw that the first and second leaders of Dali Temple said so, so he naturally had no opinion, and he also intended to interrogate Cheng Gongying and Gongsun Chang.

Ma Zhou also hoped to dig out some useful information from Gongsun Chang's mouth.
