When Wang Cheng came out, he was very nervous, and he must know that Shinong and businessmen, maybe businessmen will be very rich, but their status is the lowest, and they have no status. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The people Wang Cheng wants to meet today are all members of the imperial court, and there are many people who pay homage to the prime minister, how can Wang Cheng not be nervous? This time he testified, even if he tried his best to clear up, he couldn't get out of it, and his only hope was to be able to keep his relatives at home.

Wang Cheng walked up slowly, and under the tremendous pressure, he lowered his head, not daring to look at the others, especially Sun Sheng. Under the leadership of the officials, Wang Cheng entered the hall and knelt on the ground with a "poof", his voice was a little unwilling, a little trembling, and said: "The villain Wang Cheng has seen an adult. ”

Xiao Yan looked at him lightly and said, "You are the businessman Wang Cheng?" ”

"The villain is exactly." Wang Cheng said.

"Hold your head up." Xiao Yan said.

Wang Cheng hesitated for a while, until Xiao Yan slapped the startled wood, then he raised his head, and his lips kept trembling.

"Wang Cheng, according to your confession, you opened a blacksmith shop in the south of the city to make gunpowder, and someone instructed you, and this official wants to know, who is the person who instructed you behind the scenes?" Xiao Yan said.

"This, the villain doesn't dare to say!" Wang Cheng said, kowtowing again and again.

"Oh? Don't dare to say? Wang Cheng, do you mean that this person is quite powerful in the imperial court, so he doesn't dare to say it? Xiao Yan asked.

Wang Cheng nodded again and again, but did not speak.

Yang Lian watched coldly from the side, his eyes swept over Sun Sheng, only to see him sitting on a chair, looking leisurely, seeing Yang Lian looking at him, the corners of Sun Sheng's mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes narrowed.

"Wang Cheng, you don't have to worry, today's triage of the three divisions is an order from the Son of Heaven, no matter who this person is and how high his status is, even if it is a dignified Hou Ye, the Son of Heaven will definitely punish him." Sun Sheng said lightly.

Wang Cheng still hesitated and did not speak.

Sun Sheng glanced at Xiao Yan, slowly stood up, and said: "Wang Cheng, you have to think about it, resisting is just a dead end, if you confess, there is still a life, with Xiao Siqing's person, as long as you honestly explain the main messenger behind the scenes, you will definitely give you a suitable way to deal with it." ”

Wang Cheng pursed his lips, Sun Sheng's words seemed to be persuading, but in fact they were threatening him, he must not talk nonsense, only according to Prime Minister Sun's instructions and blame Yang Lian, his wife and children can live.

Xiao Yan saw that Wang Cheng refused to speak, and he was shocked again, and shouted: "Wang Cheng, the official's patience is limited, if you don't answer, be careful that the official will be punished, so that you can't live if you die!" At that time, if you confess again, it will be too late. ”

Gao Yue snorted coldly and said, "Wang Cheng, you have heard the words of Prime Minister Sun and Xiao Siqing, do you really want to be obsessed?" You told the official that the main messenger behind the scenes was not in the court, so you were embarrassed and afraid, and then did not dare to testify? ”

Wang Cheng secretly glanced at Yang Lian and said, "Exactly." ”

When everyone saw Wang Cheng's movements, their thoughts were different, Sun Sheng thought in his heart, this Wang Cheng, it's a pity not to be a play, but Gao Yue stroked his beard and looked up at Yang Lian.

Princess Huairou was on the side, suddenly stood up, and said: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, if someone dares to say nonsense, this princess should peel his skin!" ”

Wang Cheng's body shook, obviously scared to the extreme.

Zhang Yi was on the side, frowned, and said: "Princess, this matter has not yet been decided, and Wang Cheng's words are only a supplementary evidence, in addition to his witness, physical evidence is also needed, the princess is not impatient, Xiao Siqing will definitely give the princess a reasonable answer." ”

"Hmph." Princess Huairou sat down and pouted angrily.

Sun Sheng laughed and said: "The princess is too worried, Xiao Siqing has a reputation for being upright in the Tang Dynasty, and I believe that Your Majesty is convinced of Xiao Siqing's judgment." "The implication is that you're just a princess, not qualified.

Yang Lian heard Sun Sheng's sarcastic words, and his heart suddenly became unhappy, and asked: "Prime Minister Sun, listen to your words, I am full of confidence in this case, could it be that Prime Minister Sun knows who is the main messenger behind the scenes?" ”

Sun Sheng laughed and said, "Where did Wu Hou start with this, how could the old man know who the main messenger behind the scenes was?" However, now that Wu Hou is standing here, he seems to be the most suspicious, as long as Wang Cheng says it, he will know who this person is. ”

"Well said!" Yang Lian smiled, and then looked at Xiao Yan, and said, "In this case, Xiao Siqing should try the case as soon as possible, Ben Hou still has a lot to do." ”

"Whew!" Gao Yue smiled faintly, this case is already obvious, Wang Cheng said that the main messenger behind the scenes is in the hall, it seems that it is this Wu Hou, is it difficult or Xiao Siqing? Is Prime Minister Sun not successful?

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Wang Cheng, speaking of which, you are just a businessman, and the matter of rebellion has nothing to do with you." If you confess honestly, this official will naturally play Your Majesty, for the sake of your guilt and meritorious service, you will be given a light sentence, not only your family can be exempted from capital crimes, but even you will have a chance to live. ”

Wang Cheng's eyes lit up, he kowtowed to Xiao Yan again and again, and said, "Xiao Siqing, is this true?" Xiao Yan's words were like a piece of wood, which made the drowning Wang Cheng see hope, and he wanted to hold on desperately.

Sun Sheng was on the side, and said with a smile: "Wang Cheng, don't worry, since Xiao Siqing gave you this promise, and the old man also promised here, in front of Your Majesty, the old man will definitely say good things for you." ”

Wang Cheng's face was cloudy, and after hearing Sun Sheng's promise, his face was obviously much better, he kowtowed a few more times on the ground, and said: "Xiao Siqing, Prime Minister Sun, the villain must know everything." ”

"Xiao Siqing, it's time to try the case!" Zhang Yi said lightly, this group of people has been rambling here for a long time, he is an urgent child, but he can't wait.

Xiao Yan nodded and shouted: "Wang Cheng, you have several rooms in the south of the city, in these houses, you secretly make gunpowder and make weapons, according to the information that this official has, the whereabouts of these gunpowder are unknown, and there is no way out for the weapons. You tell the officer, where did all this gunpowder and weapons go? ”

"Qi Xiao Siqing, after these gunpowder and weapons were made, they were all sent to the warehouse, and someone else picked them up, as for where they went, the villain didn't know." Wang Cheng said.

"Smack!" Shocked Tang Mu slapped again, Xiao Yan shouted: "Wang Cheng, you have to know that if you have the slightest hint of concealment, you will be doomed." ”

Wang Cheng kowtowed again and again, and said, "Xiao Siqing, the villain really doesn't know, that person is very cautious in doing things. ”

Xiao Yan nodded, agreeing with Wang Cheng's statement.

Zhang Yi opened his mouth at this time and said, "Wang Cheng, who is this main messenger behind the scenes?" ”

Wang Cheng slowly turned his head and looked at Yang Lian, his lips squirmed but he didn't speak, as if he was frightened by Yang Lian.

Sun Sheng shouted: "Who is it, you still don't say?" ”

"Yes, yes......" Wang Cheng slowly raised his hand and pointed in Yang Lian's direction.

Sun Sheng stood up and shouted, "Wu Hou, what else do you have to say?" ”

Yang Lian asked rhetorically and said, "Prime Minister Sun, what does Ben Hou need to say?" ”

"Now that the witness has been corrected, could it be that Wu Hou still can't quibble?" Sun Sheng shouted.

Yang Lian looked at him lightly, Nunu mouthed, but did not speak.

Sun Sheng was stunned for a moment, looked back, and saw Wang Cheng's hand pointing at him.

"Wang Cheng, what is your identity, you dare to point your finger at the old man?" Sun Sheng drank.

"Prime Minister Sun, it was you who instructed the villain to buy a property in the south of the city, secretly make gunpowder, weapons, and what else to say in case of emergency." Wang Cheng is talking, but there is no stammering, and the language is even more sonorous and powerful.

Sun Sheng was taken aback, his face turned red, who instructed this matter, he knew best. The question now is not who the main messenger behind the scenes is, but that he has already controlled Wang Cheng's family, and ordered him to slander Yang Lian as the main messenger behind the scenes, otherwise his wife and children will be killed. Before the trial of this case, Wang Cheng repeatedly said that he would definitely do what Sun Sheng instructed, and he also coerced and lured him just now, but at this juncture, why did Wang Cheng suddenly fight back?

Sun Sheng's head "buzzed", and he was stunned. Not only was he stunned, but even Xiao Yan, Gao Yue, Zhang Yi and even Princess Huairou were stunned, what was going on?

Yang Lian was on the side, but he was unhurried, looking as expected.

Xiao Yan was the first to react, and he was shocked again, and shouted: "Wang Cheng, do you know what you are doing?" If you dare to falsely accuse the ministers of the court, Skynet will be restored without loss, and once your false accusations are found out, the whole door will be beheaded! ”

Sun Sheng also reacted at this time, and at this time he would definitely not admit it, so he scolded: "Wang Cheng, the old man is the prime minister of the court, you dare to falsely accuse the old man?" ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Yang Lian was on the side, applauding, he glanced at Sun Sheng with deep meaning, and said: "Prime Minister Sun, now that Wang Cheng has confessed, it seems that Prime Minister Sun is the main messenger behind the scenes. ”

"Wang Cheng, you dare to talk nonsense!" Don't look at Sun Sheng's old age, but his actions are very fast, he stood up and forced towards Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng was taken aback and retreated.

"You dare to falsely accuse the old man, Wang Cheng, the old man wants to destroy you!" Sun Sheng was a little anxious, and he forced Wang Cheng step by step.

Wang Cheng took a few steps back, and was finally caught by Sun Sheng, Sun Sheng looked at Wang Cheng with a hideous face, with a murderous look: "Wang Cheng, you dare to falsely accuse the old man!" ”

"Help, murder!" Wang Cheng exclaimed.

"What can the old man do if he kills you, a rebel?" Sun Sheng shouted.

As soon as the words fell, Sun Sheng felt a pain in his waist, and his body flew out like a cloud.

"Boom!" Sun Sheng fell in front of the steps, and Gao Yue, who was sitting on the side, didn't have time to dodge, and was smashed squarely, the two fell to the ground, and the tables and chairs were also broken, splashing everywhere. A piece of wood flew up and wiped Xiao Yan's forehead, he only felt a pain in his forehead, and when he reached out and touched it, his forehead was actually scratched and blood flowed out.

Zhang Yi sat on the other side, fortunately he was not injured, his face changed, and it happened so fast that people were a little caught off guard.

"Ouch!" Sun Sheng's old bones suddenly flew out and fell to the ground, only to feel pain all over his body. He lay on the ground moaning.

Gao Yue was also injured a lot, and was hit by Sun Sheng, which became his meat pad, and the situation was even worse. Gao Yue was lying on the ground and rolling, as if his ribs were broken.

Xiao Yan reacted and shouted, "Wu Hou, what are you doing?" ”

"What am I doing here? Can't Xiao Siqing see that Prime Minister Sun has become angry and wants to kill Wang? Yang Lian asked rhetorically.

Xiao Yan wiped the blood from his forehead and said, "The court only has the law, Prime Minister Sun is just excited when he thinks about it, how can he do something murderous?" ”

"Momentarily excited? Xiao Siqing, what is Prime Minister Sun excited about? Yang Lian asked.

Xiao Yan was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but say: "This, this." ”

"What, Xiao Siqing can't answer? Then Ben Hou will tell you. The explosion in the south of the city has a great secret with Prime Minister Sun. Wang Cheng exposed him, so he was angry and wanted to kill Wang Cheng, a witness! Ben Hou was eager to save people just now, so he kicked Prime Minister Sun. Yang Lian said.

Xiao Yan looked embarrassed, glanced at Sun Sheng and Gao Yue, who were still moaning on the ground, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "Come on, go find the doctor." ”

One of the officials took a few steps back, turned around and hurried away, today's events were too unexpected.

Xiao Yan coughed twice and said, "Marquis Wu, although Wang Cheng pointed out that Prime Minister Sun was the main messenger behind the scenes, it was just empty words, and sufficient evidence was needed. ”

"Yes, enough evidence is needed, hasn't Xiao Siqing collected any information in the ruins of the south of the city in the past few days?" Yang Lian asked.

Xiao Yan said: "The explosion was too intense, and a lot of evidence was blown up. ”

Yang Lian snorted coldly, arched his hand in the direction of the imperial city, and said: "Xiao Siqing, Your Majesty has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, just hoping that you can find out the main messenger behind this matter, it has been five or six days since the explosion, and you actually don't have enough evidence to start trying the case, so wouldn't you live up to Your Majesty's trust?" ”

"This ...... The official also has some preparations. Xiao Yan said.

"Ready? What preparation? Now that he is prepared, Ben Hou now wants to know what evidence Xiao Siqing has! Yang Lian asked.

Xiao Yan refused and said: "These evidences are all related to the main messenger behind the scenes, and they cannot be made public for the time being." ”

"Xiao Siqing, you are really ridiculous, before today's trial, you kept saying that Ben Hou was the main messenger behind the scenes, and you also saw Ben Hou go to the south of the city. Today's trial of the three divisions is also to judge Ben Hou, but now you actually say that the evidence cannot be made public, how ridiculous! It seems that Ben Hou wants to enter the palace to face the saint, otherwise he will not be able to get this justice back! Yang Lian said that he was about to leave.

Zhang Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Xiao Siqing, Your Majesty asked you to take charge of Dali Temple, is this how you handle the case?" ”

Xiao Yan glanced at Sun Sheng lying on the ground, and sighed helplessly in his heart, things have developed to this point, he didn't expect it, the reason is because of Wang Cheng's words, he couldn't help but glance at Wang Cheng with hatred.

"Xiao Siqing, Ben Hou is reminding you, Wang Cheng is a very important witness, now that he is in Dali Temple, you are responsible for safety, if there are three long and two short, then you go and explain to Your Majesty!" Yang Lian said and strode out.

The situation in the entire Dali Temple suddenly changed, and Yang Lian walked out like this, and no one stopped him.

"Wait for me!" Princess Huairou reacted and immediately chased after her.
