Chapter 54: Li Chengqian's Verdict

Li Chengqian's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky in everyone's ears, and the atmosphere in the lobby instantly solidified.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty were biased towards Confucianism, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, the criminal law was lighter, and it was a rebellion to destroy the three tribes.

It is impossible for people like Fang Yiai and Du Chuke to be sentenced to death when they enter the Criminal Department, and after the verdict is made, they will have to discuss their relatives and discuss their merits, etc., that is to say, unless Li Shimin makes an order or the Criminal Department intends to resentence, these two goods are very likely to be sentenced to be released as officials, and if Li Chengqian falls, they will return to Chang'an City in two years.

Directly tortured like Li Chengqian, which had never been done before, so the servants in the lobby were stunned by his words.

Before everyone could react, Zhang Chengxing was the first to stand up and oppose it.

"The lobby of the Criminal Department is the place where the case is heard, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly torture without interrogation? He also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to retract his order and interrogate him first. ”

"Since it's a lone king trial, don't talk too much!" Li Chengqian said unceremoniously.

"Do it!"

Du Chuke watched as the guards of the East Palace walked towards them step by step, and his face, which had just returned to Gujing Wubo, changed color again.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you can't do this, if you do, your name of unkindness will spread all over the world, and Your Majesty will have every reason to abolish you." Du Chuke threatened fiercely.

Li Chengqian was unmoved, and the guards still walked forward step by step.

When Du Chuke saw that Li Chengqian couldn't move, he raised his head and closed his eyes, looking like he was being slaughtered by the king.

Wei walked up to the two and grabbed the two, and suddenly there was a howl like a pig in the lobby, and the two guards grabbed Fang Yiai's arm.

Fang Yiai howled loudly while struggling back desperately, until he was pulled to the side of the big urn by the guards and shouted loudly: "Li Chengqian, if you dare to hurt me, my father will not let you go, although you are the prince, my father is also easy to deal with you." "Fang Yiai is out of words.

The faces of the people in the lobby were not very good-looking, especially Liu Dewei and Zhang Chengxing, who had always thought that Li Chengqian had done too much to Fang Xuanling, but after listening to Fang Xuanling's threat, they knew that if Li Chengqian really let them go this time, the consequences would be really unpredictable.

Li Chengqian looked at Fang Yiai, who was held up high, and said lightly: "Even if the Lone King kills you today, no one will let the Lone King pay for your life, if you die here today, Your Majesty will destroy your Fang family in order to protect the Lone King, and tell you that no matter how big the incident is, Your Majesty will not be able to withstand the crime and blow of killing the eldest son." Li Chengqian paused as he spoke, glanced at Du Chuke, and then looked at Liu Dewei and Zhang Chengxing on both sides, before continuing: "So no matter what the Lone King does today, as long as you don't have the ability to get rid of Your Majesty, you can't move the Lone King." ”

Du Chuke instantly understood that what Li Chengqian said was true, in recent years, with Li Chengqian's repeated immorality, Li Shimin has been very disappointed in him, and even told Du Zhenglun that he had the intention of abolishing the establishment, but now even the matter of the male pet has been revealed, and Li Chengqian is still sitting firmly in the East Palace.

This time, Li Chengqian set up a trap to coerce Li Shimin with death, but Li Shimin not only did not touch Li Chengqian in the slightest, but actually put himself and others in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Du Chuke immediately turned pale when he understood this, and it turned out that all his previous thoughts were utopian.

It is absolutely impossible for Li Shimin to kill Li Chengqian if he is detained by what he did before, so even if he sends Li Tai to the throne of the crown prince, will Li Shimin be able to tolerate them?

For a while, Du Chuke's heart was full of discouragement.

"Put them in!" Li Chengqian's face did not change color.

"My father and His Majesty won't spare your ......" Fang Yiai hasn't seen the form clearly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is willing to confess." As soon as Du Chuke opened his mouth, his body seemed to be hollowed out.

Li Chengqian also breathed a sigh of relief, and said lightly: "Then put the love of the house into it." ”

Fang Yiai was stunned for a moment when he heard Du Chuke's words, and then when he heard Li Chengqian's words, the guards carrying him moved his body to the position facing the mouth of the urn.

Fang Yiai felt that the heat had penetrated his ass, and let out a miserable scream again, "Ah! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life, and the ministers are also willing to recruit! ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Fang Yiai with disgust, remembering the last time he saw Princess Gaoyang, he really felt that a flower was inserted in the cow dung, and he actually wanted to be a dragon hero once or twice for such a thing.

"Take the love of the house to the side room and let him write down everything he knows." Li Chengqian commanded lightly.

--------------------

Li Chengqian took the confessions of Du Chuke and Fang Yiai, and his face was already clouded.

"Why are these little minions, haven't those people taken Li Tai's gold?" Li Chengqian's voice was full of endless anger, and after tossing for a long time, he found out that they were all five or six small minions.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, is it for gold and silver that I am waiting to help King Wei?" Du Chuke looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

"Then there should always be something about you plotting to design the Lone King, right?" Li Chengqian still didn't give up.

"The design of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is done by the ministers alone, they are just a few kind words for His Royal Highness King Wei in front of His Majesty!" Du Chuke wanted to bear it with all his might, and then let those people say a few kind words for him again.

"It's the king of Donglai County!"

Li Chengqian knew that Du Chuke would not confess to anyone else, so he directly pronounced the verdict: "Du Chuke harbored evil intentions and instigated the vassal king to frame the East Palace, which is a heinous crime, and he was sentenced to be beheaded in half, his family was exiled to Jiaozhou, and all family property was confiscated and confiscated for relief of the victims." Fang Yiai was an accomplice to Du Chuke, and he was also sentenced to be beheaded, but his father was meritorious, and he was also a lieutenant of the horse, so the crime was reduced to a first-class sentence and a sentence of beheading.

Dali Temple Shaoqing ruble participated in the framing of the East Palace, and the crime was extremely heinous, and he was sentenced to be cut in half, confiscated his family property and used it to relieve the victims, and his family members were all sent to the state.

All other accomplices who received money from Du Chuke were confiscated and exiled to Jiaozhou. ”

Li Chengqian's sentence was already considered a heavy sentence, but Liu Dewei and Zhang Chengxing did not speak, but directly stamped Li Chengqian's verdict.

Du Chuke was also unmoved when he heard this verdict, obviously they all thought that Li Shimin would not agree with Li Chengqian's verdict, and this was just a legal code for Li Chengqian and Li Shimin to fight in the ring.

Li Chengqian watched him sign and seal their verdict, and asked quietly: "I heard that Liu Yuan's son Liu Yuan's case of embezzlement of disaster relief grain has not yet been decided?"

"Yes" is not difficult to judge, but he is waiting for Li Shimin's attitude towards Liu Xun, and Tang Jian, the implicated secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is also Li Shimin's favorite minister, so he has been dragging it out.

Today, Li Shimin issued an order to posthumously seal Liu Xun, and he can be sentenced casually in a few days.

Although Zhang Chengxing looks down on Liu Xun very much, he must also abide by the rules of officialdom, otherwise he will not be a waiter of the criminal department.

"Bring the file." Li Chengqian will not be polite to them.

Li Chengqian read the dossier and had already tried it clearly, and directly sentenced: "Governor Liu Xun, Duguan Langzhong Liu Yuan, and Minbu Cangbu Langzhong Xiao Jue were corrupt and conspired to embezzle disaster relief food and materials, causing thousands of giants and gods to freeze and starve to death in the disaster.

Liu Xun has been sentenced to death, and three iron locks will be added to the coffin, and the coffin mound will not be buried outside the south gate of Chang'an City for three years.

Liu Yuan sentenced himself to be beheaded, confiscated his family property for relief to the victims, his wife was enslaved, and his family was exiled to Jiaozhou.

Xiao Jue sentenced himself to be beheaded, confiscated his family property for relief of the victims, his wife was enslaved, and his family was exiled to Jiaozhou

Zhang Chengxing stamped the verdict and said secretly in his heart: His Royal Highness the Prince, why bother? If he is sentenced to such a heavy punishment and rejected by His Majesty, what can he gain except for an unkind reputation?

I didn't want Li Chengqian to take them and stamp the verdict, so he immediately ordered: "Qiu Shenji immediately took the servants of the Criminal Department and the guards of the East Palace to raid the house and take people everywhere. ”

"Obey!" The guards of the East Palace agreed with a bang.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this matter must not be done!" Liu Dewei said hurriedly.

"Why not?" Li Chengqian asked knowingly.

"These verdicts have not yet been reported to His Majesty." Zhang Chengxing hurriedly replied.

"Murder requires His Majesty's collusion, so naturally it will not be executed until His Majesty has decided, but does the exile also have to be reported to His Majesty?" Li Chengqian said and waved his hand to let Qiu Shenji take people there.

Liu Dewei and Zhang Chengxing's faces turned pale with fright when they heard this, theoretically, except for the killing of the head, Li Shimin did not need Li Shimin's nod for other sentences, and the Criminal Department, as the highest judicial trial yamen, had the right to make a ruling and enforce it.

However, these cases must be reported to Li Shimin in advance after the verdict has been passed on, but now Li Chengqian has people take their stamped verdicts to raid their homes and arrest people......
