Chapter 92: Death Penalty Exemption
There are some people outside the hall who are arguing that they will pay for their lives if they kill someone, but there are also some people who support Liang Chenyue, and there is a quarrel outside the hall in an instant.
Mu Guogong picked up the startled wood on the table and slapped it violently, and immediately suppressed all the noisy sounds, and no one dared to say anything.
"In your opinion, what should be done?" Mu Guogong looked at some of the officials sitting in the hall, and there were hints on his face.
If you are not mistaken, there are many people deliberately arranged by Mu Guogong. Some didn't know that there would be such a show, and they had to secretly say in their hearts that it was not good, so it would be difficult to do, between Mu Guogong and King Jin, it seemed that they would not be happy if they offended anyone, but they couldn't help but express their position.
Li Zigu had originally expressed to Wan Yan Jin that he wanted to join his side, but Wan Yan Jin did not give him a definite reply after all, and he also executed Yu Qing who went with him, which scared him so much that he was a lot more honest recently, and he was afraid that Prince Jin would pick a fault and clean him up, but fortunately, he met Wan Yan Jin and went to Xicheng, so he relaxed for a few days, and when he heard that Prince Jin had returned to the city a few days ago, he was worried about how to hide from him. But isn't this an opportunity? Mu Guogong supported him again, and he guessed that Prince Jin should not dare to do anything to him.
So Li Zigu was the first person to take the lead, deliberately avoiding Wan Yan Jin's sight, as if he was casually mentioning it without being distracted at all, and said to the surrounding officials: "This woman is not very important to Lord Jin, and she was asked to block the wine that day." If you want me to say, King Jin probably wanted to break her up a long time ago, and if he protected her, he might have offended people on both sides. ”
The voice was not loud, but the words he said were enough to motivate those people, so that they would no longer sway and move, and they all felt that what Li Zigu said was very reasonable, whether the woman was dead or alive had nothing to do with them, and the most important thing was not to offend anyone
He Luwei and Li Zigu are in the same situation, after Yu Qing was executed, he almost reached a consensus with Li Zigu, seeing him say this, he also remembered the situation that day, this woman was the person brought by Prince Jin that night, and seeing that the mood of Prince Jin that day seemed to be very bad, he felt that what Li Zigu said made some sense, so he echoed: "I was also present at the banquet that day, and it was this woman that Prince Jin brought with him, and King Jin deliberately asked us to pour wine on her, maybe it was really as Lord Li said." ”
If you offend one person and no one can be offended, what an easy choice, those who don't want to die know that they should choose to stand on Mu Guogong's side, so there are more people who are beheaded.
After seeing that Yan Jin didn't have an angry expression, these people breathed a sigh of relief. However, they didn't know that they had already been silently recorded by King Jin, so that many days later, they didn't even know how they died.
"Lord Jin, if I let Liang Chenyue go like this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, you see ......" Mu Guogong smiled and was very happy to see this situation.
Not only Mu Guogong, but even Mu Yun and the others looked at Yan Jin to see how he would make a decision.
Wan Yanjin's face was as usual, she returned to her seat and sat down, and said, "This case is tried by Lao Chitose, and how to judge it is naturally according to what you said." ”
Mu Yun frowned and never said anything, but he couldn't understand why Wan Yan Jin did this, he thought that Wan Yan Jin would help Liang Chenyue no matter what, after all, she was also the number one killer of the underground bank. But what he said now, isn't it just giving up the initiative?
"Thanks to the impartiality of King Jin, the old man can make a fair judgment. Liang Chenyue, although you killed Lin Jia for a reason, but according to the law of our dynasty, no one can dispose of a person's life and death at will, since you kill someone, you must pay for your life. Do you have any objections? Mu Guogong had an abacus in his heart, and guessed that Wan Yan Jin would not have any objections, so what else could Liang Chenyue say.
"Mu Lao Chitose, originally, your subordinates greatly respected your generosity, chivalry, and courage, and were deeply loved by the people. But I didn't know that Mu Lao Chitose was also so short-sighted. Since the young master has given all the evidence, he can prove Chenyue's innocence, how can he change the trial at will because of Youyou's mouth? With all due respect, since you meddled in this case, you wouldn't let Chenyue get out alive. Chenyue has no grievances with you, and he has never even seen Mu Lao Chitose, so naturally he can't be offended, if you have to die for Chenyue, it's because of Miss Mu, right? Liang Chenyue still stood on top of the public hall and never knelt down again.
She had already prepared for it, and what Mu Qingcheng said could never be a lie.
didn't expect Liang Chenyue to say his thoughts so bluntly, Mu Guogong was so angry that his face turned green in an instant, and he shouted angrily: "You yellow-haired girl don't want to talk nonsense, do you know the fate of slandering the old man?" ”
Liang Chenyue hooked the corners of her mouth, the whole person was full of confidence, walked to the table, and said in a voice of only two people: "Mu Lao Chitose may not know that Miss Mu left something behind when she came to my yard to negotiate conditions with me, you may not recognize it, but Lord Jin definitely recognizes it." If it weren't for the fact that Qianjin was anxious to drive Chenyue out of the palace, maybe Chenyue would still feel that Mu Lao Chitose treats people fairly, and will not execute a person at will because of his own selfishness. ”
Because Liang Chenyue's voice was too quiet, and as she spoke, the color on Mu Guogong's face deepened and deepened, and they were all very curious about what Liang Chenyue said to Mu Guogong.
Mu Guogong stared at Liang Chenyue vigilantly, with a little fierceness, as if he wanted to see from her eyes whether what she said was true or not. Liang Chenyue smiled again: "If you don't believe it, Chenyue can also take it out for you to see, and then Prince Jin will naturally tell you whether what Chenyue said is the truth." ”
Liang Chenyue smiled with crooked eyebrows, obviously very good-looking, but so cunning that people wanted to gouge out her eyeballs. Mu Guogong snorted coldly and said, "No need. ”
Seeing this, Liang Chenyue retreated, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she looked very proud. Seeing that Mu Guogong was so angry that his face turned green, Mu Yun was very happy for Liang Chenyue, it seemed that she had got something that could threaten him.
Zhen Ai has been standing silently aside, today she just wants to know what the status of Liang Chenyue occupies in the young master's heart. I didn't expect that Liang Chenyue would be able to make Mu Guogong so angry that his whole face was the same color, and he was somewhat looking forward to it, and he wanted to know what she would do without the young master.
She has always been very dissatisfied with Liang Chenyue, although Yun Guifei's case Liang Chenyue handled it very well, which was very unexpected, but when she saw that Liang Chenyue was obviously a person from Purgatory City but was willing to be bullied by a little maidservant, she felt that Liang Chenyue was too indifferent, and she was not suitable for the head hall master of the local money village at all.
Shuo Feng has always had no special feelings for Liang Chenyue, but he has always regarded her as the head hall master, and it has always been the relationship between his subordinates and subordinates.
Mo Bing still locked his eyes on Liang Chenyue's body, with a little mystery, and seemed to have special confidence in Liang Chenyue.
No one knew what Liang Chenyue said to Mu Guogong, and they were all curious about how the Mu Guo Guild would deal with it.
Although Mu Guogong couldn't be sure whether Liang Chenyue had Mu Qingcheng's handle in his hand, he also knew that he couldn't take risks with himself, and it was indeed Mu Chengcheng who got rid of his own interference, but now that Liang Chenyue said it so clearly, he was naturally a little weak-hearted, and he wasn't sure if Mu Qingcheng had really talked to her about the conditions.
Before Mu Guogong could speak, Wan Yan Jin spoke first, "Although Mu Guogong was judged, Liang Chenyue committed a crime, slandered the court officials, and had no respect for Mu Guogong, even if Mu Guogong wanted to sentence her to death, this king would not speak for her again." ”
In a word, it shocked everyone.
No one knows why Wan Yan Jin had a clear relationship with Liang Chenyue at this critical juncture, and didn't care about Liang Chenyue's life or death.
Liang Chenyue was slightly stunned, and for some reason, her heart hurt a little hard to breathe.
He said slander? Because she said before that Mu Guogong did this for Mu Tingcheng, he must have known that all she could threaten Mu Guogong was Mu Tingcheng, so he was eager to dissociate himself from her, just because she would threaten Mu Tingcheng?
The strength established in Liang Chenyue's heart collapsed in an instant, and she was so embarrassed that she was defeated. She did use Mu Chengcheng as a threat, but she didn't think about announcing Mu Chengcheng's affairs, because none of them would believe it. In the end, she was not even given a chance to continue.
Mu Guogong's eyes were full of doubts, the Wan Yan Jin he knew could not easily give him the threshold, if he was like this, it must be because he had other plans. Although there are doubts in my heart, now is not the time to think too much.
"Liang Chenyue, the old man just asked what you mean, although Prince Jin said so, but the old man is not an ignorant person, you have a merit in assassinating Lin Jia for the people of Xicheng, so you will be exempted from the death penalty. Although you can be spared the death penalty, you will not be able to escape the living sin. Always teach you some lessons, so that you can be convinced. Liang Chenyue held the handle of Mu Chengcheng in his hand, and he definitely wouldn't come at will. If it is really as Mu Chengcheng said, that woman cares about Yan Jin, then as long as Yan Jin speaks, she will definitely listen.
After seeing what Yan Jin said, although he was explaining his feelings for Mu Qingcheng to him, he also vaguely felt that there must be something strange in it, so he thought of a way to try it again.
"Lord Jin, Liang Chenyue has been exempted from the death penalty, but she can't block Youyou's mouth, she must need to be taught some lessons to give everyone an explanation. She is a person from your Jin Palace, so she will be punished according to your Jin Palace. Mu Guogong spoke softly, but every sentence was tempting.
A hint of foreboding flashed in Mu Yun's heart, if it was the punishment of King Jin's Mansion, then life and death would not be something they could control. King Jin's Mansion has a set of methods to punish people, specifically to punish some officials who commit crimes, and some are designed to punish killers.
Wan Yanjin's expression was faint, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart. Facing Mu Guogong on the table, he asked rhetorically: "In your opinion, which set should you follow?" ”
