The emperor also asked Xie Gaoyu to try Guo Chongtao's case.

Xie Gaoyu was worried, Xie Gaoyu's family also came to an uninvited guest, and the uninvited guest from Xie Gaoyu's house said to Xie Gaoyu that he came by the emperor's holy decree, and the emperor asked Xie Gaoyu to punish Guo Chongtao.

However, Xie Gaoyu is smarter than Gao Qin.

Xie Gaoyu asked the uninvited guest who came to their house: "You said that you are here to spread the emperor's will." Excuse me, where is the emperor's decree? ”

As soon as the uninvited guest heard Xie Gaoyu ask him this, he became angry.

The uninvited guest yelled at Xie Gaoyu: "If you think my words are not true, don't you listen to them!" ”

After the uninvited guest finished speaking, he left.

After the uninvited guest left, Xie Gaoyu thought: I heard that I also went to Gao Qin's house that night to an uninvited guest, and I heard that the uninvited guest who went to Gao Qin's house that night said the same thing to Gao Qin as the uninvited guest who came to my house just now. The uninvited guest who went to Gao Qin's house that night and the uninvited guest who came to my house just now are not the same person!

Xie Gaoyu thought again: Who is this uninvited guest? Could what he said be true? Could he really be here to spread the emperor's will? If he was really sent by the emperor to spread the emperor's will, I asked him to take the emperor's holy decree, why couldn't he take it? Why did he only say that it was the emperor's decree? I don't even know his name, I don't even know what he does, and I believe him.

Xie Gaoyu thought again: The words of the uninvited guest may be true. He may have really come to my house to tell me the emperor's will. Everyone knows the sin of this false proclamation, otherwise would he dare to falsely proclaim the holy decree? If the emperor wants to kill Guo Chongtao, it is possible for the emperor to say a word and finish the matter. The emperor wants to kill Guo Chongtao, Guo Chongtao is such an important person, and the emperor is not stupid, can the emperor leave any notes in the hands of others?

Xie Gaoyu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand it.

Xie Gaoyu didn't sleep well all night.

Xie Gaoyu said in his heart: How can I try Guo Chongtao's case?

However, Xie Gaoyu also knew that Guo Chongtao must have been wronged.

******

The next day, it was time for Xie Gaoyu to try Guo Chongtao's case.

Xie Gaoyu asked Guo Chongtao to be brought up.

As soon as Guo Chongtao saw Xie Gaoyu, Guo Chongtao still knelt down: "The criminal minister Guo Chongtao has seen Master Xie." ”

Xie Gaoyu was very courageous, and he asked Guo Chongtao: "Guo Chongtao, this official asked you, did you drink before you had an accident that night?" ”

Guo Chongtao did drink that night.

Guo Chongtao said: "That night, the criminal was tired of saddle horses, and after the criminal returned home, the criminal ....... ”

Xie Gaoyu slapped his courage, and he shouted at Guo Chongtao: "Guo Chongtao, the official just asked you if you drank alcohol on the night of the accident." The officer just asks you to answer 'yes' or 'no'. I didn't let you talk so much nonsense. Do you understand? The officer asked you again, you drank on the night of your accident, 'yes', or 'no'? ”

Guo Chongtao said: "Yes." ”

Xie Gaoyu instructed the people next to him: "Write it down!" ”

The person next to me made a note of it.

Then, Xie Gaoyu asked Guo Chongtao to draw the charge.

To draw a sign is to sign. To draw is to admit that what has just been said is true.

At this time, Guo Chongtao felt that Xie Gaoyu wanted to harm him.

Guo Chongtao didn't want to draw a charge.

Xie Gaoyu saw that Guo Chongtao did not draw a charge, and Xie Gaoyu slapped his courage. Xie Gaoyu shouted angrily at Guo Chongtao: "Guo Chongtao, this official asks you again, did you drink on the night of your accident?" Since you have been drinking, and the official asks you to admit the facts, why do you refuse to admit it? ”

Guo Chongtao said: "The sinner thinks, the sinner just drinks. The criminal thought that the criminal drinking had nothing to do with the criminal minister's case. The sinner thought that there was no need for a drawing. Besides, it's not illegal to drink alcohol. ”

Xie Gaoyu slapped the tiger again, Xie Gaoyu said: "This official just asked you to admit the facts. 'Yes' is 'yes', 'no' is 'no'. As for whether or not you drank alcohol that night had an impact on your case, and how much impact it had, the official has his own conclusion, Guo Chongtao, you were also an official, and you were still a high-ranking official, and the official asked you to admit the facts, why don't you refuse to admit it, do you think it is appropriate? ”

Guo Chongtao thought for a while: Yes, Xie Gaoyu asked me to admit that I drank that night, and I did drink that night, Xie Gaoyu asked me to admit the fact that I drank that night, but I refused to admit it, and I couldn't say it.

Guo Chongtao drew a charge.

Xie Gaoyu asked again: "Guo Chongtao, this official asks you again, is it a fact that you and Concubine Mei grabbed their sleeves that night?" ”

Guo Chongtao replied: "That night, the guilty minister entered the palace at the emperor's behest and the criminal minister ....... ”

Guo Chongtao also wanted to go on, but Xie Gaoyu had the courage to stop Guo Chongtao again.

Xie Gaoyu said: "Guo Chongtao, why are you talking nonsense again? The official just asked you, did you grab your sleeves with the emperor's Concubine Mei on the night of your accident? The official just asked you to answer 'yes' or 'no'! This official didn't let me say superfluous words! ”

Guo Chongtao said: "My lord, you have to let the guilty minister explain." ”

Xie Gaoyu said: "When you should be allowed to explain, this official will allow you to explain." ”

Guo Chongtao said: "My lord, this matter really needs to be explained. ”

Xie Gaoyu said: "The official just said that you only need to answer 'yes' or 'no', and that's it." ”

Guo Chongtao said: "'Yes' is 'yes', but it's not ....... ”

Xie Gaoyu is another group of courage. Xie Gaoyu commanded: "Write it down!" ”

Then, Xie Gaoyu asked Guo Chongtao to admit the fact that he and the emperor's Concubine Mei were clutching their sleeves.

This Guo Chongtao is willing to admit it.

Guo Chongtao knows what kind of sin it is to grab clothes and sleeves with the emperor's concubine! Unlike just now, Xie Gaoyu let himself admit to drinking just now. Drinking is nothing, drinking is not sinful. It's different from the emperor's concubine grabbing her clothes and stacking her sleeves.

Xie Gaoyu saw that Guo Chongtao refused to draw a charge. Xie Gaoyu also knew that Guo Chongtao would not admit this easily.

Xie Gaoyu instructed his subordinates: "Give me a forced drawing!" ”

Compulsory drawing is to let people hold the criminal's hand and insist on drawing a charge.

Xie Gaoyu gave an order, and a few people came over, and he pressed Guo Chongtao's hand down, and forced Guo Chongtao to draw a detention.

After Xie Gaoyu forced Guo Chongtao to draw a detainment, he asked Guo Chongtao to be taken down.

Then, Xie Gaoyu tried other cases.

Xie Gaoyu also has a lot of cases every day.

******

Soon, the day passed.

In the evening, Xie Gaoyu remembered Guo Chongtao's case again.

Because this case is a very important case.

Xie Gao said in his heart: If I do this, the emperor will definitely be satisfied, didn't the emperor ask me to convict Guo Chongtao? The task that the emperor asked me to do, I completed for the emperor. I asked Guo Chongtao to admit the fact that he and Concubine Mei were clinging to their sleeves. Anyway, based on this, Guo Chongtao is also a capital crime. And I also got Guo Chongtao to admit that he had drunk on the night of his accident.

At this time, Xie Gaoyu wrote a note to the emperor,

The meaning of the twist is that Guo Chongtao has already admitted the fact that he and Concubine Mei are clinging to their sleeves, and Guo Chongtao also admitted that he drank alcohol on the night of his accident.

Xie Gaoyu said in his heart: I want to make the emperor happy about this matter, and the emperor will definitely let me be promoted.

Xie Gaoyu Zhengmei, at this time, a family member came to report, saying that someone wanted to see you.

Xie Gaoyu said, "Let him in!" ”

Soon, the man who was going to see him came in.

Xie Gaoyu saw that the one who came to see him tonight was still the uninvited guest who had seen him last night.

Xie Gaoyu asked, "You came late at night, is there anything wrong?" ”

The uninvited guest said to Xie Gaoyu: "Of course there is something." Nothing, can I come? ”

Xie Gaoyu said: "Excuse me, what's the matter?" ”

The uninvited guest said, "Have you done what the emperor asked you to do?" ”

Xie Gaoyu said: "It's done. I'm about to report to the emperor. ”

At this time, Xie Gaoyu took out the note drawn by Guo Chongtao and the copy he had just written to the emperor.

Xie Gaoyu said: "Please see, this is Guo Chongtao's painting. ”

When Xie Gaoyu said this, he smiled slightly.

Xie Gao Yuxin said: How about it, what Gao Qin didn't do, what Li Siyuan didn't do, I'll do it.

However, the uninvited guest was still not very satisfied.

At this time, the uninvited guest said to Xie Gaoyu: "The emperor said that you must put Guo Chongtao to death, do you understand?" ”

Xie Gaoyu said: "Can I not understand this? The emperor said let me do this, didn't I really do it? Didn't I ask Guo Chongtao to admit his damn reasons? ”

The uninvited guest said, "No! The emperor asked you to put Guo Chongtao to death, that is, you must kill Guo Chongtao with your own hands! ”

When Xie Gaoyu heard this, he was stupid.
