Chapter VIII Triage of the Three Divisions

Early in the morning, Yang Lian got up to practice martial arts, and just after breakfast, Zhao Peng hurried over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, the sky was just dawning, and Xiao Yan couldn't wait to personally take seven or eight officials to the outside of Yang's mansion, and one of them had the courage to step forward and knock on the door.

When the people who got up early saw this scene, some of them knew the situation a few days ago, and they couldn't help but talk about it, Yang Mansion is an eventful year this year, why are there officials coming to the door?

Zhao Peng passed the news to Yang Lian, Yang Lian straightened his clothes, and instructed Zhao Peng to bring his war horse and go to Dali Temple.

Fu Jinzhan and Zhang Qili hurriedly came, all asking, hoping that Yang Lian could come back safely. Yang Lian comforted the two of them a few words, and then went out slowly. At the gate, Xiao Yan was pacing restlessly, if Wu Hou relied on his status and refused to come to Dali Temple, I am afraid he really had no choice. Jian is in the emperor's heart, with the attitude of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that he is more inclined to Wu Hou.

However, when Yang Lian came out, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly let go, he arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Wu Hou, don't come unharmed." ”

"Okay, no more polite words, let's go." Yang Lian had a straight face, not wanting to deal with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was stunned, couldn't help but restrain his smile, waved his hand, and said very seriously: "Go!" Back to Dali Temple! ”

The guards of the Yang Mansion brought the war horse, Yang Lian turned over and got on the horse and walked towards Dali Temple, Xiao Yan hurriedly followed. Along the way, the group was very eye-catching, and they didn't understand what lawsuit the newly promoted Wu Hou was involved in?

When Yang Lian arrived at Dali Temple, Cheng Gao Yue in the imperial history and Zhang Yi of the Criminal Department were already sitting in the hall, although it was a triage of the three divisions, the official positions of the two were also higher than those of Dali Temple, but this is Dali Temple, as the temple secretary in charge of this place, Xiao Yan is the largest, so the two of them sat in the main hall on the left and right, leaving the position of the main hall for Xiao Yan to sit.

In the main hall, two rows of officials held water and fire sticks in their hands, one by one like wolves and tigers. Xiao Yan triumphantly stepped into the main hall and glanced at the officials, today is a very important day for him, maybe it will change his fate, and it will also change the fate of many people.

Yang Lian walked in, glanced at the officials, and couldn't help pursing his lips, Xiao Yan is giving him a horse.

"The Prime Minister has arrived!" Suddenly, a voice sounded outside, and after a while, Prime Minister Sun Sheng walked over slowly. Sun Sheng's face looked very calm, but his heart was very complicated, Sun Sheng just didn't feel at ease, so he came here, by the way, to remind Wang Cheng that there were things he should do and some things he shouldn't do.

Sun Sheng's arrival caused a commotion, and he smiled at several people: "Everyone, the old man is uninvited, you won't be surprised." ”

In the imperial history, Cheng Gao Yue has always been dormant at home, but he is in his hands for the current situation. On the surface, he was silent, but secretly, he and Sun Sheng glanced at each other, and they both saw the deep meaning in the other party's eyes, today, is the time for King Qi to fold his arms, and he must grasp it.

"Come on, take a seat for Prime Minister Sun." Xiao Yan shouted.

A servant ran to the back court, and after a while, he moved a chair out and put it on the left side of the hall, Sun Sheng walked over and sat down slowly, and said with a smile: "Today is an important case for the imperial court, the old man came to take a look, otherwise, someone will rely on his power, play with the law of the country, and get away with it, it will be bad." ”

Between the words, he said that he was righteous, but his eyes looked at Yang Lian, and the purpose was already very obvious.

Xiao Yan laughed and said: "Prime Minister Sun is a model for the country and the people, and we should take Prime Minister Sun as an example and be loyal to the country." ”

Gao Yue and Zhang Yi stroked their beards and didn't speak, their thoughts were different, but they didn't show it calmly.

After Sun Sheng made another high-level statement, he said: "Ah, Xiao Siqing, it's time to try the prisoner." He bit the word "prisoner" very crisply.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "I almost missed the right thing." As he spoke, he looked at Yang Lian and instructed a servant, saying, "Although today is a trial, Wu Hou is Wu Hou after all, come here, give me a seat!" ”

Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "No need, Ben Hou is pressed for time, and he has to go out of the city to hunt, this case should be tried as soon as possible, let Ben Hou see, who is right and which is wrong?" ”

Sun Sheng narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Wu Hou said it well, the clues of this case have been sorted out for five days, I think Xiao Siqing has already mastered enough evidence, it is better to try it earlier and close the case as soon as possible, so that everyone in the world can rest assured." ”

Xiao Yan glanced at Gao Yue and Zhang Yi, both of whom bowed slightly, agreeing, and the trial of the case could begin.

"Good!" Xiao Yan shouted, slapped the startled wood, and was about to speak, when someone outside the door shouted: "The princess has arrived!" ”

"Princess?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, this is Princess Huairou is here, it seems that the princess is not worried about Wu Hou's case, so she rushed here.

Sun Sheng sighed in his heart, feeling that something was wrong, Princess Huairou has always been too rude, she even beat King Yan, at that time, she was just a county lord, even the prince dared to start, everyone in Dali Temple today, who can have a higher status than King Yan? If she goes crazy, who will dare to stop her?

Groaning, Princess Huairou has already walked in, at this time Princess Huairou changed into a military uniform, wearing a simple armor, this set of armor is well-made, it is produced by Yang Lian in the blacksmith shop in the north, the weight is only more than 20 catties, but the degree of sturdiness is a few points better than other armor.

Princess Huairou held the horsewhip in her hand, glanced at everyone, sneered, and said, "I heard that Dali Temple is trying the case today, and this princess is not very relieved, so I came to take a look." ”

Xiao Yan also knew Princess Huairou's temper, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "Weichen has seen the princess. ”

Sun Sheng, Gao Yue, Zhang Yi and others also gave gifts.

"That's it." Princess Huairou looked at Yang Lian with a determined look and nodded slightly.

Xiao Yan hurriedly arranged a chair for Princess Huairou to sit down.

Sun Sheng pretended to be calm, coughed, and said, "Xiao Siqing, the time has come, don't miss the hour." ”

Xiao Yan nodded, with Princess Huairou here, his momentum was extinguished a lot, Xiao Yan coughed, and said, "After the seventh hour at the beginning of this month, dare to ask where Wu Hou is?" ”

"Well, naturally, it's at home." Yang Lian said.

"What do you do at home?" Xiao Yan asked again.

Yang Lian arched his hand and said: "The entire Tang Dynasty knows that it is Benhou's duty to be born in martial arts and fight on the battlefield for the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Wu Hou, do you know that above the court, you can't talk nonsense?" Xiao Yan reminded.

Yang Lian Dandan smiled and said, "This Benhou naturally knows. ”

"In this case, Wu Hou knows that after the seventh hour at the beginning of this month, Wu Hou changed into a black dress and rushed to the south of the city, which has already been seen by people, and now the evidence is conclusive, what else does Wu Hou have to say?" Xiao Yan said.

Yang Lian laughed out loud and said, "The witness in Xiao Siqing's mouth, I don't know who it is?" ”

"It's the official." Xiao Yan couldn't help but stand up and said.

Yang Lian looked at him lightly and didn't speak, but there was a sarcasm on his face, Xiao Yan is the presiding judge, isn't it funny that he came to testify? Sun Sheng, who was on the side, also realized this, and he coughed lightly.

The voice was not loud, but it was enough to remind Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan snorted coldly, and said: "Wu Hou, not only the official saw the events of the previous day, but even the official's subordinates also saw it in their eyes. ”

"So, the officials of Dali Temple all saw Ben Hou set fire to the south of the city?" Yang Lian asked rhetorically.

Xiao Yan was about to nod, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, that place was built by Yang Lian secretly, the purpose was to rebel, to say that Yang Lian destroyed him with his own hands, this is not very reliable. Xiao Yan pursed his lips, thinking that he almost fell for Yang Lian, but he reacted very quickly, and said: "Wu Hou, you are in the south of the city, and you found that this official led people to surround you, so you caused the powder magazine to explode, and you took advantage of the chaos to sneak away." But not? ”

"It is said that Xiao Siqing of Dali Temple is an upright person, able to make good decisions, I have heard of it before, but when I see it today, it is really better to meet than to be famous." Yang Lian's words concealed sarcasm.

Xiao Yan couldn't hear Yang Lian's sarcasm, he patted the wood in shock, and said: "Wu Hou, although you have a noble status, this case is very important, why don't you answer what the official asks you?" ”

"Xiao Siqing, you said that Ben Hou went to the south of the city to set fire, but you can't get any evidence except empty words, and you always keep guessing, what is your intention to slander Ben Hou so much? Could it be that you have received money from others, so you have to put Ben Hou on the sin of great rebellion? Yang Lian asked rhetorically.

Xiao Yan was speechless for a while, he only learned about Yang Lian's traces according to the words of his subordinates, but in fact, he was in the south of the city, and Yang Lian was not found. But he still refused to give up, sneered, and said: "Wu Hou, the evidence is naturally in the hands of the official, if you admit it happily, the official can still be lightly punished, if you resist to the end, this consequence, I'm afraid you don't need to say more about this official, you understand, right?" ”

On the side, Princess Huairou was a little impatient, she suddenly spoke, and said, "Xiao Siqing has any evidence, you might as well take it out directly, such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, she is really a big man and a big husband?" ”

When Princess Huairou said this, Xiao Yan's slightly dark face suddenly turned red, and Princess Huairou's words made him extremely depressed, and he actually regarded him as a woman, which was really a great shame.

Sun Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, he coughed, pretended to be profound, and said: "Princess, today's three divisions will be tried, and even the chief judge of Dali Temple, the criminal department Shangshu and Yushi Zhongcheng are jurors, although the princess has a noble status, but this matter, it is better not to interfere." ”

Princess Huairou raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but on the side, Yang Lian laughed.

In the imperial history, Cheng Gao Yue looked at Yang Lian, and his laughter filled the entire hall.

Zhang Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stroked his beard and did not speak, this dragon fight, who can have the last laugh is still unknown, judging from the news he has in his hands, this time the trial is obviously the drunkard's intention is not to drink, everyone has the possibility of winning, and it is best to remain neutral.

"Wu Hou, above the court, how can you be allowed to make noise?" Xiao Yan was furious. The officials standing on both sides suddenly whined loudly.

Yang Lian stopped laughing, he decided to take the initiative, and asked, "Xiao Siqing, Your Majesty ordered you to preside over this case to give Ben Hou justice and find out the manipulators behind the scenes." Ben Hou gave you a meal, if you have evidence, then take it out directly, don't rap here. If you can't take it out, don't blame Benhou for being in front of Your Majesty, and I will take a copy of you! ”

"Good, good!" Gao Yue applauded at this time, slowly stood up, paced in the main hall, and said: "The matter in the south of the city has been in an uproar earlier, and this matter involves a lot of things. Since Xiao Siqing is the presiding judge, he should immediately come up with evidence, so that Wu Hou can be convinced. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yue stopped, stood still in front of Zhang Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and asked, "What does Zhang Shangshu think?" ”

"Marquis Wu is an important minister of the imperial court, and he has made great contributions to the Southern and Northern Wars of the Tang Dynasty. But this matter is not trivial, the meaning of this official is the same as Gao Yushi, if Xiao Siqing has evidence, then quickly come it out, with evidence, right and wrong, there is naturally a judgment. Zhang Yi said.

"What Gao Yushi and Zhang Shangshu said is that in front of the evidence, even if he is subject to His Majesty's grace, he must be punished by the law." Sun Sheng said.

Prime Minister Sun's words are very much in line with Benhou's wishes. The explosion in the south of the city involves anti-thieves and the safety of the imperial court, and the main messenger behind the scenes must be arrested. Regardless of whether this person is the prime minister or the scholar, or even the prince, they must be treated equally and convicted of guilt. Prime Minister Sun, do you say yes or no? Yang Lian looked at Sun Sheng, his eyes were blazing and meaningful.

Sun Sheng's heart suddenly suddenly, secretly thinking that Yang Lian knew about this matter? But he shouldn't know. If Wang Cheng doesn't do what Sun Sheng wants, not only will he not survive, but his family will also disappear. Sun Sheng believes that this choice is not difficult, even if Yang Lian knows anything, but he has no evidence, in the face of Wang Cheng's accusations, can Yang Lian still get out?

As long as Wang Cheng is determined, the powder magazine and armory in the south of the city are all secretly operated by Yang Lian, at that time, it was the yellow mud that fell into the crotch of his pants, and it was not but was. Yang Lian couldn't get rid of it at all. As long as this crime is confirmed, the Son of Heaven is generous, and it is impossible to endure Yang Lian's betrayal, even with the help of King Qi.

Sun Sheng's thoughts turned back and forth at this moment, and Sun Sheng felt more and more confident about defeating Yang Lian. Yang Lian's words were nothing more than to strengthen his courage, and more importantly, he didn't know that he had already arranged everything, and Wang Cheng's killer weapon would soon be sacrificed and give Yang Lian a fatal blow.

After figuring out this section, Sun Sheng smiled, stroked his beard, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Wu Hou is really far-sighted, and what he said is extremely true. Xiao Siqing, since there is evidence, let's take it out quickly! ”

Xiao Yan snorted coldly and said, "Pass the order, bring witnesses!" ”

"Bring witnesses!" The officials shouted, and the voices came down layer after layer, and a tense scene was coming.

Princess Huairou clenched the whip in her hand a little nervously, she was really a little worried, although she didn't believe that Yang Lian would rebel, but judging from today's situation, the situation was very unfavorable to Yang Lian, could it be that things really had to develop to an irreparable situation?

Princess Huairou's somewhat flustered eyes were seen by Sun Sheng, and he was even more sure in his heart, this time Yang Lian was finished, if it was possible, he could also bring down King Qi in one fell swoop and pull Li Jingsui down from the position of the prince!
