Chapter 85: Human Words Are Terrible
The sudden appearance of a sneer immediately attracted everyone's attention. Not only the onlookers and officials, but also the three envoys sitting in the public hall also cast their eyes.
Lu Xin turned his head with an angry face. The person who spoke was none other than the head of the Imperial Temple, Wei Tuyun! And what he said forcibly put a rebellious hat on Lu Xin. Just not kneeling to the emperor is already a big crime to kill the head.
What does it mean to be terrible? That's terrifying!
Many times, not only the sword can kill. Mouth, can also kill!
"Wei Tuyun! Hahahaha...... It's just gibberish. If the emperor sits on this court, then everyone in the world has to kneel. Come, if you kneel first, I will naturally have nothing to say, please! ”
Although Lu Xin's hands were tied, his body stood straight, looking up to the sky and smiling, his momentum was like a rainbow. Seeing this, Wei Tongyun flashed a cold glint in his eyes, and suddenly stopped at the steps.
At the same time, an incomparably obscene laughter rang out from the crowd.
"Hey, hey, hey, this young man said it well. The three envoys are the three envoys, how did they become emperors? This Tang Dynasty, are there four emperors who can't make it? Who is this person just now, obviously it has nothing to do with this case, why do you want to roar in court? ”
As soon as the sly laughter landed, a cold snort sounded on the other end.
"This person can be recognized by his son, a warlock raised by the imperial court, and Wei Tongyun, the head of the Imperial Temple. Why, the yamen outside the court hall like the Imperial Temple, not even the six departments and nine qing, when did they ride on the head of the three envoys? Hahahaha, it seems that our Tang Dynasty court, civil and military officials are not as good as a warlock? ”
The singing and harmony of these two people instantly caused laughter. The onlookers also applauded, and originally, the people looked at Lu Xin, a "prisoner", with disgust and disdain. But at this time, after such a fuss, I began to feel that Lu Xin had backbone.
is also clothed, but the young man in the court is not afraid of power and does not kneel to officials. Coupled with the fact that some people coax together, it is easy for ordinary people to have a sense of belonging and identity. This is true in any era, and people may not be able to distinguish between right and wrong. But by course, they all admire the heroes with strong backbones and backbones.
Looking down at the court, the scholar and Yue Buhei were hiding in the crowd and making noise. Those words just now are naturally the masterpieces of these two living treasures. And the Yang sisters also stood on the edge of the crowd and watched.
Wei Tongyun originally wanted to embarrass Lu Xin, but he didn't expect to say a word, and he was scolded by many people pointing at his backbone, and his face was instantly gloomy to the extreme. But no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do. This is Chang'an City, at the foot of the Son of Heaven. No matter how high his cultivation is, he doesn't dare to be angry with innocent people.
Seeing this, the three envoys aroused the anger of the people in just a moment, and their faces were equally ugly. The three exchanged glances, and Dali Siqing hurriedly knocked on the startling wood three times.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
"Silence! No noise shall be made above the public court. The fathers and villagers below, please be calm. This case concerns the fire that broke out in the West City a few days ago and the murder in the East City. The court asked Er and others to watch, so that everyone could be a witness. All the suspects have been arrested, and the court will interrogate them one by one, and will not wronged a good person, let alone let a bad person go. Although His Majesty the Emperor is in the palace, he is concerned about the safety of hundreds of thousands of families in Chang'an City and our city. I was specially ordered to sit in the court for trial. Rest assured, there will never be an unjust, false or wrongly decided case. ”
When Dali Siqing said this, he knocked on the startling wood again, and then looked at the young man standing in the middle of the public hall.
"Whoever is in the hall, report your name."
"The surname is Lu Mingxin, a person from Yuezhou, Jiangnan Province. Three adults, I came to Chang'an City to visit old friends on behalf of the elders in the family. The fire and murder in Chang'an have nothing to do with me, and I hope the three adults will find out. ”
"Hmph, that's a neat one. Whether there is a crime or not, the judge has his own judgment. Come, witness. ”
Dali Siqing gave an order, and a large group of people immediately walked out of the side door of the public hall. Although they were all dressed in ordinary people's clothes, Lu Xin recognized the leader at a glance, which was Liu Zhi who was the sixfold of the Void Realm. On the day of Wang Quan's death, it was this group of people who chased Lu Xin from Dongshi to the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji. It can be said that Lu Xin will be taken into the dungeon of Dali Temple, all thanks to Li Zhi.
"Witnesses, what were you doing in Dongcheng on the day of the crime?"
"Back to my lord!" Liu Zhi glanced at Lu Xin with a sneer, and then said loudly: "On the day of the crime, we were unloading the goods in Chongyi Fang, and we saw him kill people with a dagger. Then, he ran into the East Market. We kept chasing after us, and then we entered the alley, and there were seven or eight corpses on the ground, all of them had just died. And this man's hands are full of blood. ”
"Is that true? Did all of you see it with your own eyes? ”
"Lord Hui, everything I said just now is true, and we have all seen it with our own eyes, and we can all testify to it. It was he who brutally killed those innocent people. Your Excellency, you are in charge of us. ”
The side of the temple pretended to be cloth, and the words of the crowd were obviously prepared. When Lu Xin heard this, his face turned red with anger, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
"Hahahaha...... Liu Zhi, the people of the Imperial Temple, are really crooked on the upper beam and crooked on the bottom. Are you unloading in Chongyi Fang? What kind of goods are you unloading? Three adults, these are all officials of the imperial court, you don't know each other, right? Moreover, I have never been to Chongyi Fang at all, let alone met these people. ”
"Really?" Dali Siqing slapped the startled wood, and immediately narrowed his eyes into a slit. "This official only knows that they are witnesses in this case, as for whether they are officials of the imperial court or ordinary people, does it matter? I am in the Tang Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people. In the face of the law, no matter how big an official or a commoner you are, this court will treat everyone equally. Come, bring the shopkeeper He. ”
Speaking of this, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out of the crowd in the hall, dressed as a businessman. After being taken to the court by the officials, he knelt down with a "poof".
"The person in the hall, who is the surname, and where does the family live?"
"Back to the master, little... Small, the villain's name is He Yuan. Chang'an people's family, living in Bailu Lane, Chongyi Fang. The villain opened a rice shop, and hired a few laborers to help the villain move the goods. But as soon as we returned to Chongyifang, we saw this ...... I saw this murderer kill people. ”
"What you call servitude, but these people?"
Li Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, suddenly spoke, pointing to the Imperial Temple and his party to question. Seeing this, the shopkeeper didn't even look at it, and hurriedly nodded yes. Lu Xin had never seen the owner of a rice shop, his face turned black at the moment, and he suddenly took a step towards the third envoy.
"Tell the truth! Three adults, what is the trouble of wanting to add crimes? I've never seen this shopkeeper before. I, Lu Xin, didn't kill anyone at all! What kind of witnesses are you preaching? Say I kill with a dagger, what about a dagger? What about physical evidence? The dignified three divisions will be tried, if this is how the case is decided, don't blame Lu's subordinates for being ruthless! ”
Lu Xin was wronged by so many people, and he was already extremely depressed in his heart. At this time, it erupted, the momentum was so strong, the sound was so loud, it shook the entire public hall and buzzed. And the rope that bound the hands broke into two in an instant. The three envoys all changed their faces, and Dali Siqing's eyes were even colder, and he knocked five times in a row.
"Bold suspect! roaring in court and intimidating court officials, the crime is added to the first degree. Come on, pull it down, and hit the thirty boards first! ”
"Huh? What's the matter, I obviously put a Divine Treasure Sealing Spirit Talisman on this kid, how can he still have such a powerful mana? ”
At this moment, not only the three envoys were shocked, but even Liu Zhi, who was an onmyoji, widened his eyes. But in full view of everyone, he could only watch Lu Xin break free from the shackles and could do nothing. And the officials were just about to take a step, but they were shocked by Lu Xin's loud shout.
"Who dares to come up? Don't worry, three adults, I won't leave. However, with these few witnesses, it would be too child's play to try to judge the case, right? ”
After Lu Xin was furious, he slowly calmed down. But the voice of the voice was completely cold, and every word was squeezed out of between the teeth. Seeing this, the Dali Siqing glanced at the criminal department Shangshu beside him, his face was gloomy, and he did not answer immediately.
As the third envoy, he naturally has a way to suppress the young man in the hall. But this arraignment is public. It is impossible for the imperial court to let the onmyoji of the Imperial Temple cast spells in front of so many people. And the ordinary servants and the fast catchers are not the opponents of the teenagers. What's more, Lu Xin's trouble, scholars and others outside the court began to take the lead again.
"That's right, people and witnesses can be faked. What kind of labor, everyone looks at these people, all of them are white, how do they look like they are doing hard work? ”
"That's right, as for this shopkeeper, he is indeed opening a rice shop in Chongyi Fang. But four days ago, his shop hadn't opened at all. Three adults, you can't collude with thieves and wronged good people! ”
"Yes, you can't wronged a good person. Evidence, without other evidence, you have to be released! ”
……
For a while, the crowd below the public hall was full of voices and excitement. Li Jing, the secretary of the criminal department, frowned and looked at it for a moment, and suddenly stood up suddenly.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, don't be impatient, the court will never wronged good people. Lu Xin, on the day of the incident, His Majesty decreed that the whole city of Chang'an City was under martial law. But the people of the Flying Cavalry Camp, Dali Temple, and Yongzhou Mansion have all seen you running from one alley to another in Dongcheng. If you are not guilty, why are you running? If you don't respect the emperor's order first, you have committed the crime of great disrespect. How many days will I shut you up, but there will be complaints? ”
"No complaints, but ......"
"Hmph, the official's words are not finished yet! At that time, Dali Temple and the Flying Cavalry Battalion suspected that you had murdered and absconded, so they chased you all the way to Jinggongfang, and finally, you even ran into the mansion of Lord Sun Wuji, the chief of the Ministry of Officials, yes or no? ”
"Eldest grandson Wuji? Hmph, I did enter a mansion, but I don't know whose mansion it is. ”
"Okay, then the official will convince you. Heir certificate, the minister of the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion, Lu Tingfang! ”
