On the Dali Temple, Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said politely to the left to supervise the imperial history, "Lord Zhang, please take a seat!" ”

"Hey, Lord Feng, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, is fair and strict, and he is a god in judging the case, and he is ordered by the Holy Lord to try the case by Prime Minister Feng. Or Lord Feng, please take a seat, and the official can help on the side! Zhang Yandeng said with a serious face.

Feng Ying no longer shirked, but smiled at Zhang Yandeng: "Lord Zhang is too polite!" Then the official will thank Master Zhang! ”

Only Xiao Ming came to the top without saying a word, and directly crossed the two of them and sat on the main seat.

Seeing Xiao Ming Shi Ran sitting on the first seat, Feng Ying and Zhang Yandeng, who were still talking, looked at Xiao Ming in astonishment and didn't know what to do!

Xiao Ming had no scruples, sat firmly on the chair, and greeted the two, "Two adults, sit down quickly, this official is about to be promoted!" ”

Regardless of the two of them, with a "snap", he picked up the startled wood and patted it, Xiao Ming shouted, "Go to the court, take the plaintiff to court!" ”

The officials of Dali Temple naturally followed Xiao Ming's instructions and immediately brought the plaintiff Yan Hui, Wang Qiang and others to the court.

Xiao Ming shouted to the kneeling people in the hall, "This official is Xiao Ming, the secretary of Dali Temple, and today he will try this case by the will of the Holy Lord!" Is it true that the plaintiffs, Yan Hui, the president of the rice bank, and Wang Qianger, the businessman of the rice bank, sued Jinyiwei for arresting the people for no reason and beating them into tricks? ”

Chairman Yan and the others lay on the ground and cried to Xiao Ming, "My lord, that's exactly the case, we were all arrested by Jinyiwei for no reason and put in prison. We have never been at fault for abiding by the law, and we have all been beaten into tricks by the Jinyi Guard, please be enlightened! Avenge our grievances and return our innocence! ”

Xiao Ming nodded, and after asking about the case, he instructed the officer: "Take the Jinyi guard to command the Tongzhi Kingdom to go to the court!" ”

The official invited Wang Guoxing, who was dressed in a military uniform and wearing a Yanling knife at his waist, to the court, and Xiao Ming asked Wang Guoxing with a serious face: "Defendant Wang Guoxing, Yan Hui and others accused you of instructing Jinyiwei to arrest the people for no reason in order to rob the people's property and beat them into tricks. Do you have any objections? ”

Wang Guoxing glanced at Yan Hui and the others with disdain, and snorted lightly, "Hmph, this official has never been beaten into a trick, all the charges against you and others are true, and they have signed and drawn in Jinyiwei Prison, and the human and material evidence is still trying to deny!" It's just a way to die, this is the evidence of their crimes, please take a look at it! ”

Xiao Ming ordered someone to take the evidence of the crime in Wang Guoxing's hand, picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but slap his face in shock, and Yan Hui and the others, who wanted to kneel next to him, shouted: "You dare to deceive me, you have already confessed and drawn a prisoner on this!" I ask you! When you are short of food in the capital, why don't you sell it when you hoard a large amount of grain? ”

Xiao Ming's words made the surrounding onlookers can't help but exclaim, it turns out that these rice merchants had grain in their hands at that time, but they coaxed them to say that the grain was sold out!

"Lord Xiao, the plaintiff has already said that this incriminating evidence is a trick by Jinyi Wei, not a fact!" Feng Ying reminded coldly.

"Is there any rule in my Da Ming Law that the painted paintings are not counted?" Xiao Ming asked rhetorically.

In ancient times, the rate of solving cases was extremely low, so the trial of cases was really inseparable from the use of punishment, and the appropriate amount of punishment was allowed.

"Let's hear what the plaintiff has to say!" Zhang Yandeng diverted the topic.

Yan Hui and the others hurriedly complained, "My lord, it's not that we don't sell grain, but the grain we waited for at that time had not yet been transported to the capital, and the grain we were hoarding in the capital at that time had been sold out at a reasonable price. ”

Feng Ying and Zhang Yandeng couldn't help but nod when they heard this, Xiao Ming glanced at Wang Guoxing and asked, "Wang Guoxing, do you have any objections to what Yan Hui and the others said?" ”

Wang Guoxing glanced at Yan Hui and the others coldly, and suggested to Xiao Ming: "Lord Xiao, there are still accomplices in the rice line who have confessed, please Lord Xiao allow them to go to the palace!" ”

Hearing Wang Guoxing's words, not only Yan Hui and the others, but also Zhang Yandeng and the nobles and officials in the compartment next to him couldn't help but change their faces.

Xiao Ming nodded in response, "Someone is here to bring the accomplice to the court!" ”

I saw that those who were taken away by Jinyiwei first, Boss Chen and others were escorted to the court.

When Yan Hui Wang Cheng and the others saw it, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, collapsed to the ground, and shouted in horror, "Aren't you already dead in Jinyiwei Prison?" Obviously, even the corpse was thrown out by the Jinyi Guard, why is it still alive! ”

Wang Guoxing sneered and looked at President Yan and the others who were trembling, "Because all this is a strategy, if they don't die, how dare you be so reckless and reckless to kill yourself!" ”

Chairman Yan and the others frantically signaled to Boss Chen with their eyes, and the noble ministers in the next compartment were also anxious, they didn't expect that this group of people who were obviously dead were still alive.

Boss Chen and the others turned a blind eye to this, and waited quietly in the hall, Xiao Ming asked Boss Chen and the others, "Wang Tongzhi, said that you have already pleaded guilty to the law, and this official allows you to make meritorious contributions to the crime, not only will you reduce your guilt, but those with less guilt can even be pardoned directly!" ”

Boss Chen and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly told Xiao Ming, "Don't dare to hide it, we are all businessmen in the capital rice store, a month ago it was Yan Hui and others who found us, saying that they wanted to discuss a major event with us, he found us that day and said that the emperor built a new city to gather millions of people, and there will be a shortage of food immediately. He is the president of the rice line. If we still want to do the business of rice shop, we must obey his orders, and we will be so preoccupied with our interests that we will make a big mistake. ”

President Yan stood up, pointed at Boss Chen, and yelled, "You wait for Hugh to talk nonsense!" I definitely didn't tell you about it! It is you who want to sell grain at a high price, and it has nothing to do with me! ”

Boss Chen said angrily: "Please Mingjian, my lord!" At that time, the emperor knew that there was a shortage of grain in the capital and the people could not buy food, so he ordered the government to issue a grain price limit order. They refused to allow it, and said that they would wait for the price of grain to rise to 6 taels and 1 stone before selling grain! At that time, even if the emperor wants to deal with them, there will be those adults behind him who will come forward to stop them! Why don't you earn the money that comes for nothing? As for making the country difficult to make money, it may provoke a popular uprising and starve the people of the capital to death, what does this have to do with them? ”

"You are making false accusations, I definitely never said this!" Yan Hui yelled.

"Bold, dare to roar in court!" Wang Guoxing picked up the scabbard and slapped it on Yan Hui's mouth, knocking him to the ground in an instant, knocking out a lot of teeth in his mouth, and he fell to the ground vomiting blood.

"As a defendant, what should be the crime of Wang Guoxinger who openly committed murder in court? Do you regard me, the Imperial History of the Left Capital, as nothing? Zhang Yandeng pointed at Wang Guoxing and said angrily.

The eyes are all on Boss Chen and others, hinting at their identity.

"This official is Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, if the witness gives false testimony, it will be regarded as a false accusation, and he will sit back, can you understand the consequences?" Feng Yingtie said coldly with a grim face.

Boss Chen and the others, as a businessman, had never come into contact with such high-ranking officials, and in the face of the real threat of the two in the court, they couldn't help but think of the consequences of offending them. With their identity, it is not easy to kill a few businessmen afterwards, and they are all related for a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming directly asked for a holy decree, and signaled to Boss Chen and the others, "It's okay, you continue to speak, this official will try this case according to the holy decree, no one dares to threaten you, and you will be safe!" ”

A few days ago, I went to live at my mother-in-law's house, but my sister-in-law was there, and when I went to bed at night, my sister-in-law asked my mother-in-law to find pajamas, and suddenly I heard my sister-in-law say: Mom, these pajamas are too short, and my buttocks are exposed. Mother-in-law said: It's okay, your brother-in-law is not an outsider. Hearing this, I burst into tears instantly, I am so happy to have such a mother-in-law!
