Li Xiantong just symbolically showed the confession to Wei Yuanzhong, and didn't intend to give him much time to think, and said with a smile: "I also read the confession, Wei Yushi, what else do you have to say?" ”

"The intention of this official is not to look at the confession and forget it." Wei Yuanzhong said with a straight face, "There are thirty or forty names on it, from the marching commander to the local parent official, all of them are important figures. Your rash conviction and imprisonment without any check, and the issuance of sea fishing documents, are simply out of compliance with the regulations and trampling on the law! ”

Li Xiantong habitually touched the two beards at the corners of his mouth left and right, and said with a smile: "Wei Yushi, I respect you as a messenger from the imperial court, and I also ask you to respect this official." ”

"I don't understand what you mean." Wei Yuanzhong remained silent and replied calmly.

"You are the superintendent of the imperial history, and this official is also the law of the state. You and I are both court officials who eat with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, why did Wei Yushi point to his own officials out of thin air and not understand the laws and regulations? Li Xiantong said coldly, "Whenever a case is handled, there must be a first complaint before the case can be filed, and then the judge investigates the case." When the suspect is locked, he can use someone to try the case. Finally, if the evidence is conclusive, the suspect admits guilt, or both, the case can be judged according to the provisions of the law, and then the entire case will be reported to the imperial court for filing and review. If the case is serious or the identity of the perpetrator is special, the local government must report to the Dali Temple or the Imperial Observatory to make a judgment. Establishment, investigation, trial, judgment, and reporting, this official, as the governor of the prefecture, is acting in accordance with such a charter. The issuance of the sea fishing document is to bring other suspects for interrogation based on the clues provided by the first complainant, suspects and witnesses - where is the fault of this officer? When did the ruler trample on the law? ”

Wei Yuanzhong's heart was shocked, what a sharp mouth, what a secret scheming!

"If Wei Yushi has no objections, this official will send someone to post a notice and issue a sea fishing document now." Li Xiantong said with a smile.

"Originally, this was the official business of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and unless you reported it to the Imperial Historical Observatory, it was inconvenient for this official to interfere too much. However, since the official witnessed the occurrence of the case, and the official is responsible for supervising the imperial history, and now you have taken the initiative to ask the official for his opinion, then the official must make sure that there are no mistakes or omissions in your constitution. Wei Yuanzhong said with a straight look, "The victim of this case, Li Changshi, has already been seen by this official. However, the first accuser and witnesses in this case, that is, the servants and maids who witnessed the scene of the crime and subdued the suspect Wei Juyuan, have not yet been seen by this official. Moreover, whether Wei Juyuan's confession was forged, whether he complied with the laws and regulations when interrogating Wei Juyuan, and whether there was a suspicion of being beaten in a private court, the official has not yet known. And those officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, who are now in prison, have they really confessed again? If not, what authority do you have to put them in jail? - All of these are worthy of suspicion by the officer! ”

"Wow ......"

Li Xiantong took a breath of cool air, stared at Wei Yuanzhong sideways, and scolded in his heart-birdman, tricky!

"Handling a case is to be bold in suspicion and careful in collecting evidence. Li joins the army, am I right? Wei Yuanzhong continued to say solemnly: "If the above doubts are not verified, then your proclamation and sea fishing documents cannot be issued in front of me. In the eyes of this official, that would be illegal, and that would be an abuse of power and framing a good person! ”

Li Xiantong blinked, reached out and touched the mustache a few times, but did not speak.

The four guards of the Three Swords Brigade standing behind Wei Yuanzhong admired Wei Yuanzhong in their hearts, and this battle of words and swords was really not much inferior to the competition between two masters on the school field.

Two words, wonderful!

"And how are you going?" Li Xiantong asked.

"I have to question the chief complainant and witnesses, I have to question the officials who participated in the trial of Wei Juyuan, and I have to question the officials involved in the case who have been detained and imprisoned one by one." Wei Yuanzhong's answer was a board and a glance, and the words were round.

Li Xiantong's eyes narrowed, "These people, do you want to see them all?" ”

"That's right. All. Wei Yuanzhong didn't squint, and he was right.

Li Xiantong smiled coldly, "Doesn't Wei Yushi feel that this is a waste of time?" ”

Wei Yuanzhong was unmoved, "You can not tell me these things, just send your sea fishing documents." However, since the official has already handled it, it must be done in strict accordance with the regulations for handling the case. Otherwise, after returning to the court, I will file a report and impeachment with the Imperial Historical Tower, because I suspect that you have set up a private court to fabricate evidence and make a confession, I suspect that you have issued illegal sea fishing documents without authorization, and I suspect that you have abused your power and framed good people! ”

"Do you want to- a review?"

"Yes!"

Li Xiantong was speechless for a while, squinted his eyes and looked at the roof, and then reached out and touched his beard, and at the same time his eyes blinked several times in a row, thinking that it was really self-defeating, originally he wanted to take advantage of this milky little imperial history, so that he could be forced to become our favorable witness and enhance the legal effectiveness of the sea fishing documents. Unexpectedly, he opened a dye room to give him a little color, and he dared to propose a "review"!

Seeing Li Xiantong's tangled and annoyed expression, Wei Yuanzhong was not happy or angry, and he didn't move quietly, there was no expression on his face, but his heart was beating suddenly.

Re-examination, they will definitely not give me such a chance; The only thing I can do now is delay them as much as I can. As soon as the sea fishing documents are issued, Xue Shao and the others will become prisoners of the imperial court, and everything will be passive. Even the veteran general Li Jinxing will not be able to continue to hold military power because he is involved in the case. In that case, no one in the entire state will be able to restrain Li Chongyi - if he is really ambitious enough, then he can do whatever he wants!

"Wei Yushi, it's too much time to review. Maybe by the time you re-examine it, the suspects will have already fled to the edge of the sky. Li Xiantong said, "It's better to do this, I'll send someone to send this sea fishing document first." The review will be carried out slowly and slowly, and the official will give his full cooperation. ”

"No way!" Wei Yuanzhong said categorically, "It only took you one night to collect all the evidence and arrest so many people, there must be some omissions." In handling cases, you can't let go of a bad person, and you can't wronged a good person! Before the official review is completed, your sea fishing documents must not be issued! ”

"Then if you are the official, you must send it?" Li Xiantong's tone became much tougher.

Wei Yuanzhong smiled, "Then you're done!" By the way, it is best to kill the official again! ”

"What do you mean?" Li Xiantong's face sank.

"If you don't kill this official, just wait for the Japanese official to return to Chang'an one day, and you will definitely be reported and impeached." Wei Yuanzhong looked at Li Xiantong directly, not giving an inch to the-for-tat, and said word by word, "That's what it means!" ”

Li Xiantong's face turned into iron blue.

But he has a "stunt" that no one else can learn, and when his face is tense and iron-blue, he can still smile and groan, he said: "Wei Yushi, how do you feel, you are deliberately delaying time, who is the opportunity to mediate and escape?" ”

Wei Yuanzhong's heart suddenly changed, his expression did not change at all, and he looked at the front and said: "This official is honest and impartial, and everything is done in strict accordance with the law and regulations. As for the rest, let it be commented on, unmoved! ”

"Ho! ......" Li Xiantong sneered, and touched his beard again, "The imperial history reviews the case, this is to make it clear that he wants to slap my face as a Fa Cao to join the army." Anyway, this official was born with a good temper and a bodhisattva heart. Since Wei Yushi is worried that there will be a possibility of accidentally injuring a good person, then this official will consider giving you an hour to review this case! ”

"An hour?" Wei Yuanzhong's eyes widened, "How is this enough!" ”

"Wei Yushi, don't you say that you are very capable?" Li Xiantong sneered, "It didn't take much time for this official to investigate and collect evidence and arrest suspects. Now that the witnesses and suspects have been placed here, the official has left you with a lot of convenience. If you spend more time doing the review than the officer, then you are incompetent! ”

Li Xiantong smiled, "If it is an incompetent mediocre official, how can he be qualified to review the case that the official has already tried?" Isn't that - ridiculous! ”

"If you want to laugh, then laugh." Wei Yuanzhong was unmoved, "This official has always been cautious in handling affairs. An hour is not enough in any case! Didn't you spend the night too? This official, it will take at least a day! ”

"One day? No way! Li Xiantong said coldly, "At most, two hours!" ”

Wei Yuanzhong took a deep breath, "Okay, two hours, just two hours!" ”

"Then count the time from now on." Li Xiantong smiled.

"......" Wei Yuanzhong gritted his teeth with hatred, "Okay, take me to the witnesses now!" ”

Li Xiantong touched his beard and smiled, "Don't worry, I haven't eaten breakfast yet!" ”

"Don't eat it, go now!" Wei Yuanzhong stood up.

Li Xiantong pursed his lips, "If you don't eat it, I want to eat it!" ”

Wei Yuanzhong nodded annoyed and helplessly, "Okay, then eat first!" ”

"Someone, get breakfast!" Li Xiantong was still smiling, "This official, I want to have a drink with Wei Yushi!" ”

Wei Yuanzhong didn't pay attention to him, and only thought in his heart: The case is reviewed, Li Xiantong will definitely not give me a chance to ask for something really useful. Those witnesses are his henchmen, those who have been imprisoned, I will definitely not see the big guys, and the small characters will definitely not dare to talk nonsense, because their families are all controlled!

The so-called review only delayed the issuance of the sea fishing documents for two hours!

Wei Yuanzhong took a deep breath to calm his restless emotions, and said in his heart: Two hours, I have done my best! …… Xue Gongzi, now it's up to you to see what kind of response you can make in these two hours!
