Chapter 115: The Confrontation in Court

Sichuan according to the inspector Zhou Rulin is also a fifty-six twilight person, or how to say that this Sichuan country of abundance is very leisurely, it is a place where you don't want to leave, Rao is the official of these three divisions, all of them are people who are buried in the loess to half of the waist, and they are still alive and well in the officialdom.

Zhou Rulin's original partner died early, the concubine Liu took care of his master for most of his life, and finally his daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law, under Zhou Rulin's repeated requests, the dowry, wedding money, and wine banquet were re-organized, and the old husband and wife went through this etiquette again, officially announcing that Liu became Mrs. Liu and became the wife of Zhou's mansion.

A few years ago, he was deeply favored by the emperor and was enshrined in the edict, which can be regarded as one of the few examples of concubines who have achieved positive results.

"Master, today is the case of the newly appointed commander Zeng Ziren?"

While helping Zhou Rulin sort out the official robe on the collar, Mrs. Liu asked him,

Zhou Rulin nodded, his hands were not idle, and he straightened his cuffs, after all, it was a triage of the three divisions, and he couldn't lose the dignity of the court.

"Command everything, and resist the lack of Master Zeng. It's rare that the old commander has worked hard all his life, and he didn't even have a decent funeral, alas, the family is unfortunate. ”

Mrs. Liu's work is Lisuo, and she straightened out Zhou Rulin's style in three or two clicks, and finally gently stroked the crane supplement on his chest, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "But the garrison general is called An ........."

"Comfort."

Zhou Rulin reminded his wife,

"Yes, Anyi, he was ruthless, and killed so many people up and down the Zeng Mansion."

"Hmph~"

Zhou Rulin snorted helplessly, and continued: "It's not a fuel-efficient lamp, he knows who can kill and who can't, he wants to kill one more, maybe he won't need the old man to give the emperor a discount, so he will go directly to Dali Temple to get someone." ”

"I heard it's for a Qinglou woman?"

Zhou Rulin nodded noncommittally, "Liu Siyi, the shopkeeper of Qianyun Tower, heard that he was quite close to Zhu Zongchen before, and now according to the news given by the Shu Palace, he said that he was the concubine of An Yi Xinna. How can a person who is an official be so frivolous, for the sake of a mere concubine, he actually privately mobilizes the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, what kind of system is this. ”

Mrs. Liu didn't hear Zhou Rulin's point, but grabbed her master's "little tail": "What's wrong with the concubine's room, isn't the concubine's room her own family?" is also a yellow flower girl, when she is a concubine, she has to be bullied by others, and her lord has to take care of decency and can't make a move? ”

I didn't see that although Mrs. Liu had already passed the age of not being confused, she still had a bit of blood hidden in her heart.

"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you."

Zhou Rulin hurriedly smiled and begged for mercy, he just wanted to express his point of view on the case, but he didn't expect it to cause Liu's dissatisfaction, since he had never courted in front of his wife in the past twenty or thirty years, it was better to beg for mercy early.

"I'm gone, madam, and let the people do the housework."

Zhou Rulin has to explain this every time he goes out, but when he still returns home, he often sees Liu busy in the kitchen.

"Got it, let's go."

Liu Shi responded, perfunctory words of his master, who had already made her ears feel calloused, and turned back to the inner house.

......................

Zhu Zongchen threw the crystal black chess pieces in his hand into the chess basket, stroked his palms and said: "Mr. Zhu's chess skills are amazing, and the old man admits defeat." ”

Mr. Zhu smiled and arched his hand at him, and said humbly: "Accept it, adults have distractions, and naturally they can't win." ”

"Alas, there have been too many things to worry about recently, and there are no worry-free things one by one."

Zhu Zongchen bent his fingers, tapped the terrazzo chessboard, and looked out of the house,

Mr. Zhu did not answer him immediately, but rolled up his sleeves and swept over the chessboard,

The original black and white endgame was swept away by the sleeves of his robe and became chaotic, and the black and white crystal chess pieces intersected and scattered on the board.

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the chessboard and said to Zhu Zongchen: "Lord Zhu, do you have a way to quickly pick out all the sunspots in this chessboard?" ”

Zhu Zongchen looked at the chaotic chessboard, and then looked at Mr. Zhu, who seemed to be smiling, and responded: "I don't know if Mr. Zhu has a way?" ”

Mr. Zhu showed the paper fan in his hand and said with a smile: "My method is to pick one by one." ”

"Pick one by one?"

"That's right! Pick one by one! Although it takes some time, but for this kind of thing, there is no hurry, rather than trying some methods of beating rabbits, it is better to be patient, but accurate and fast. ”

Zhu Zongchen thought for a while before he nodded, "I understand what Mr. Zhu meant, it seems that the old man is a little anxious, and he always wants to deal with the matter before leaving, but he didn't expect that he would take care of one thing or the other, and in the end, the important things could not be concluded." ”

Mr. Zhu put away the paper fan in his hand, and persuaded him in a deep voice: "The most important thing for adults now is the Wugu Sect, maybe you don't have to wait for the emperor to return to Beijing, the will will will come down, if by that time, the adults have not completely dealt with it, then the Wugu Sect is equivalent to a sharp sword that can threaten adults at any time, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat."

As for the others, to put it bluntly, it's just a grudge entanglement, and when the adults arrive in Wangjing, it's not too late to go back and cook, so why rush for a while. ”

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan."

Zhu Zongchen muttered to himself, then stood up and arched his hand towards Mr. Zhu, "Thank you Mr. Zhu for your advice." ”

"Don't dare, it's not early, my lord should leave early, hurry to the prosecutor's office, there is still a case waiting for the adult."

Mr. Zhu hurriedly stood up and bowed very politely.

Zhu Zongchen put his hands behind his back, and said disapprerovingly: "What is there to judge, accompany the envoy to make an appearance for the emperor, it's just that Liu Siyi........"

A fierce look quickly flashed across his eyes,

"Betraying the sect, the old man will definitely not let her go!"

.....................

The location of the triage of the three divisions was chosen in the lobby of the Inspectorate Division.

There are three tables in the hall with bright windows, two of which are surrounded by a circle of servants holding water and fire sticks, and behind the two lacquered wood pillars are crowned with painted beams, and under the beams hangs a huge mahogany plaque, on which are painted with gold stucco four large characters:

The mirror hangs high

Gao Yingshu, as the chief judge, sat in the first case, changed his elegant appearance in the past, and changed into a cyan dark pattern printed dress, and the pale pink skirt flowed to the ground like snow and moonlight.

Three thousand green silk is tied up with a purple ribbon, with a simple agate dotted emerald gold hairpin, and a golden phoenix bird Ruyi water drop earrings hanging on the delicate earlobe.

This outfit is not overly complicated and exaggerated, but it shows the royal nobility in every gesture.

On the left and right of the deputy case sat Zhu Zongchen, the political envoy of Sichuan Chengxuan, and Zhou Rulin, the envoy of Sichuan according to the procuratorate, wearing court clothes.

The three of them sat upright, and the officers on both sides held the killing rods in their hands and beat the floor of the desk hall like a drumbeat, and shouted in a thick long voice:

"Wei ~~~ Wu ~~~"

Two officials holding tall wooden cards are divided into the front of the hall, standing on both sides, and the huge wooden card panel is written "quiet" and "avoided" with gilded characters.

There were a lot of onlookers standing at the door of the hall, probing their brains inside, but if you look closely, they are basically familiar faces.

If you want to say that Jiang Ruyue is embarrassed for this matter.

Originally, after An Yi was taken into custody, he was in charge of the overall situation, but I heard that today was the day of the trial of the three divisions, and in the morning, several directors and deputy generals of the Chengdu Green Camp came to the garrison office to take leave with him, and wanted to participate in the trial.

made Jiang Ruyue cry and laugh, and said in her heart that this is okay? The garrison general was not there in the first place, and the general was gone, and the green camp became a swarm of headless flies, what kind of system did it become?

He had to put his face on the three battalions of the Vanguard, the Guards, and the Chinese Army, and each battalion could only go to one regardless of the chief and deputy commanders, and you should choose for yourself.

So Jin Mingyin, Meng Qi and Lin Muzhi became the three selected representatives, and together with An Xin and Ziyun, they came to participate in the trial

Gao Yingshu took the waking wood in his hand and slapped it heavily on the table,

"Smack!"

"Take Zeng Ziren and go to church comfortably!"

An Yi and Zeng Ziren were detained in the prison of the judge, and they didn't know anything about the outside world, that is, when they came to the hall in white prison uniforms, they found that Gao Yingshu was actually sitting in the position of the chief judge.

"Who's in the hall?"

Gao Ying walked the process of triage expressionlessly.

An Yi's expression was still quite rich, he stared at Gao Yingshu with wide eyes, his pupils were both surprised and surprised, but when he looked at the two Tie Qing faces of the deputy judge, he felt that things were not as easy as he thought, I am afraid that Ying Shu, who was sitting in the presiding judge, was going to have a game with the two deputy judges.

Zeng Ziren is even more nose is not a nose, and his face is not a face, he naturally knows the relationship between An Yi and Gao Yingshu, this time Gao Yingshu is the chief judge, what good can he get? When he looked at Zhu Zongchen, he received an expression of indifference, which made him feel a little panicked for a while.

Although the two of them had very different things in their minds, their colleagues forgot the movements on their legs.

"Smack!"

Zhou Rulin patted the awakening wood on his table and scolded: "Don't you two know the rules of this hall? Why don't you answer the words of the presiding judge! ”

An Yi came to his senses at this time, leaned over and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The former Chengdu garrison general is comfortable. ”

"Zeng Ziren, the former acting commander of Sichuan"

Zhou Rulin turned to Gao Yingshu and bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, can this official start the inquiry?" ”

Gao Yingshu nodded lightly, "Let's start, old man." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Rulin turned around, put on a sharp look, and asked An Yi: "An Yi, you privately mobilized the green battalion in the army, intercepted and killed the funeral procession of the Zeng Mansion, and slaughtered the thirty sons of the Zeng family, are you guilty?" ”

An Yi defended: "My lord, on the next day, according to the report of Qianyun Tower, there was a bandit who robbed Liu Siyi, the shopkeeper of Qianyun Building, under the banner of Zeng's funeral procession, and his subordinates wanted to go to the capital to command the envoy to ask Lord Zeng, but because Lord Zeng arranged a funeral for his father, he could not meet him, so he had to mobilize the official army privately to suppress the bandits. ”

"You fart!"

Zeng Ziren was very annoyed by Anyi's nonsense, and scolded,

"Presumptuous! You are all officials, how can you be so open-mouthed? ”

Zhou Rulin blew his beard and glared at Zeng Ziren, and then signaled to Xia Yiyi,

"You go on!"

Comfortable arch your hand,

"It's my lord! At that time, when I rushed to Nanshan with my people, I saw Liu Siyi, the shopkeeper of Qianyun Tower, being tied to the ground by a group of bandits and abused wantonly. Wait, for a while, he was furious, and ordered the whole army to kill, because of the cloudy and rainy day, until he saw Lord Zeng, he didn't know about the funeral procession of Zeng's mansion, so it happened. ”

Zeng Ziren arched his hand towards Zhou Rulin with an angry face: "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense!" When I saw An Yi coming up beforehand, I had already sent the cavalry to inquire, but I didn't expect this An Yi to actually kill the cavalry with a fire gun, and when he ordered to rush and kill, he had already seen me, and he did it on purpose! ”

Zhou Rulin was just about to open his mouth to say goodbye, but Gao Ying behind him spoke first when he was sparse,

"So, you did arrest the shopkeeper of Qianyun Tower at that time? What crime did she commit? Why did you arrest her? ”

She ...... She wounded the sergeant of my funeral procession and maliciously obstructed the funeral procession! ”

When Zeng Ziren said this, he seemed a little weak-hearted, because when he arrived at the scene, it was the Yang family and Liu Siyi who had a quarrel first, so everything he knew was also told to him by the Yang family.

Zhou Rulin stood up, pointed to the errand officer on the side, and said, "Go, take Liu Siyi, the shopkeeper of Jiangyun Building, to the court." ”

"Yes!"
