Chapter 30: Court Trial
After a brief inquiry, Di Renjie temporarily revealed the assassin's matter and looked at Fang Qian: "Connived at the corrupt officials, embezzled the consolation money, forcibly occupied the people's land, privately convicted the capital crime, harmed the people, and caused the villagers of Daliushu to riot." Lord Fang, your words before were convincing, this is the Pavilion that wronged you! ”
"Do you think that forcing the villagers into the mountains and robbing the old and weak at the north gate is really dead without proof?" Di Renjie's face was full of majesty, his eyes were like electricity, and he oppressed Fang Qian: "Now that the villagers of Daliushu are in the state office, do you dare to confront them in court?" ”
Fang Qian's face turned pale, and his lips trembled involuntarily. After learning that Yuan Hui welcomed back some villagers from Daliushu Village, he understood why Di Renjie asked himself so straightforwardly, it turned out that he had come into contact with those traitors early!
Thinking about his "extermination operation" last night, there was such a big movement, and it was inevitable that there would be some omissions, and now it seems that it is useless!
In an instant, all kinds of distracting thoughts flashed in his mind, and he was stared at by Di Renjie, Fang Qian's forehead began to wade into the water, and the sweat on his back was frantically breeding, this guy may really have kidney deficiency.
I was so worried that I was dying, but I was not afraid of boiling water on my face, and I said stiffly: "I have a clear conscience in my humble position, why don't you dare!" ”
"Humph!" With a sneer, Di Renjie stood up: "This pavilion wants to see if you, the assassin of Youzhou, are really as honest and honest as you advertise!" ”
"Come on, ascend to the court, this pavilion will personally ask the case!"
Looking at the back of Di Renjie who took the lead in going to the lobby, Fang Qian wiped the sweat droplets from the corners of his forehead, gritted his teeth, and followed.
......
The sun was setting in the west, and it had already passed the hottest stage, and above the hall, several classes of officials were standing solemnly, but the atmosphere in the hall was a little strange.
Kneeling in the hall was the little old man Zhang Laosi, but he shrank and kowtowed, and shouted: "What the villain said before was all a lie to deceive the adult. The government did not dump the consolation money and occupy the people's land......"
The smile on Di Renjie's face froze, and he looked at the "honest" farmer in the hall in surprise, patted the wood, and asked several times, all of which were all words.
Slowly, the hall quieted down, and Di Renjie subconsciously glanced at Fang Qian and Wu Yizhi who were standing on the side of the hall. Fang Qian was obviously relieved, but Di Renjie also noticed a hint of surprise in his expression.
staring solemnly at Zhang Laosi, who was kneeling in the hall for a while, Di Renjie knew in his heart that something must have gone wrong.
"Bold Zhang Laosi, he dares to play treachery and slip in front of the public court and adults! It's not really recruited! At this time, it was Li Yuanfang who came out and scolded sharply.
He couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, and he was very disgusted by the changes before and after Zhang Laosi.
was yelled at by Li Yuanfang, Zhang Laosi was also worried, he had seen Li Yuanfang's "divine might". Yu Guang quietly glanced at Hu Jinghui, who had just walked into the hall, shrunk his neck, and kowtowed: "What the villain said last time was all nonsense!" That's the truth! ”
"You!" Li Yuanfang took a step forward and was about to make a difficulty.
was stopped by Di Renjie, he had already returned to normal, but he was not angry, and said to Zhang Laosi lightly: "This pavilion is not forced by you, today's court trial is here, left and right, take them down for resettlement!" ”
"Elder Ge, as the lower official said, you were deceived by those villains!" At this time, Fang Qian even dared to come out of the ranks, and he was not ashamed.
The color of his expression only makes people laugh. Di Renjie stood up with a smile and looked at Fang Qian: "That fourth brother didn't know the identity of this pavilion before, why did he want to deceive me?" This matter, this pavilion will definitely come to a conclusion! ”
"My lord, please take care of yourself, the lower official still says the same thing, with a clear conscience!" Fang Qian held his head high.
"What a clear conscience!" Di Renjie laughed.
Yuan Hui leaned against the door of the lobby and had a full view of the situation in the hall. The focus was on Hu Jinghui, his brows were tightly locked, as if he was wondering why the fourth child suddenly turned back.
Yuan Hui sighed in his heart, this guy, his acting skills are so good, if Yuan Hui hadn't known his identity, he would never have thought that this situation was directed by him.
For this matter, Yuan Hui had a little impression, and the fourth Zhang seemed to be Hu Jinghui's threat. When he was about to ascend to the church, he chatted with Li Yuanfang, and Hu Jinghui seemed to have gone to the class room. In order to help Fang Qian wipe his buttocks, but the biggest flaw was exposed, Yuan Hui really didn't understand, what did Hu Jinghui think......
"General!" At this time, a personal soldier ran to Yuan Hui's ear and whispered.
With a raised brow, Yuan Hui walked directly to the hall and interrupted Di Renjie, who was still humbly using the other party's "attack plan": "Lord Qiyu, the guards of the deposed envoy, Qianniu Wei, have arrived in Jixian County!" ”
......
The arrival of the guards completely relieved Di Renjie's predicament and made him more confident. The guard sergeants, plus the Qianniu guards sent by the emperor, totaled more than 1,000 people, all of whom were the elite of the elite.
This day and night, he basically only had Hu Jinghui, Yuan Hui and more than a dozen of his personal soldiers around him, although he "cheated" Fang Qian, but there was always a hidden worry, Fang Qian, a thief, the control of Youzhou, was really shocking.
A large number of guards were stationed in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the few people under Yuan Hui were naturally "excluded", and they were all a little unhappy, and Yuan Hui was kind to appease them.
The Governor's Mansion is a courtyard group vacant in a hurry, covering a large area, walking in the mansion, what Yuan Hui sees, is full of guards coming and going, a busy image.
Some guards and officers arranged defense in various courtyards and halls in the palace. is worthy of being the guards of the gods, except for the gorgeous clothes and armor, all of them are a little arrogant.
In the main hall, Di Renjie was meeting with the subordinate officials of the deposed envoy, and gave him a few words of encouragement to send him back. When Yuan Hui arrived, he saw a clever little guy, standing beside Di Renjie with a smile, shouting "Master" in his mouth, this should be Di Chun.
Seeing Yuan Hui, Di Renjie beckoned to him with a smile, and then instructed Di Chun: "Di Chun, you take some money from the treasury and hand it over to General Yuan!" ”
"Yes!"
Facing Yuan Hui, he said gently: "The sergeants under your command, they have worked hard in the past two days, and they have a little money, and they have the right to be my thank you, let the sergeants rest and rest!" ”
"Thank you, sir!" Yuan Hui bowed his hand. sighed a little in his heart, this Di is chubby, he is really thoughtful, and he will take into account the feelings of his soldiers......
Sitting down, Yuan Hui blinked his eyes and looked at Di Renjie: "My lord, that old man retorted above the court, let the assassins escape the catastrophe, and you lost face." Why do I see you with a natural look and no anger? ”
Hearing this, Di Renjie stroked his beard and smiled, and Li Yuanfang, who was on the side, was full of coldness: "This Zhang Laosi, so repeatedly, the adults want to call the shots for them, and they are so uninteresting......
Seeing Li Yuanfang's indignant performance, Di Renjie soothed: "Yuanfang, don't be impatient, this fourth child, maybe there is something unspeakable......
Saying this, Di Renjie also had a little doubt in his eyes. Then he smiled coldly, and Zhizhu held his expression: "Things have come to this point, and it is not something that Fang and Wu's generation can cover up!" ”
After pondering for a while, looking up at Yuan Hui, Di Renjie asked, "Tell me about the assassins on the road, tell me in detail......
