The prison of the Criminal Department. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just after noon, Zhen Zhenji and Zhao Huan rushed to the prison of the Criminal Department, but when they saw that no one had come, they found a place to sit down and talk first.

"Sincerely, isn't this the case that the fourth junior high school arraigned person is guilty? Why did it suddenly change to today? The old man, with his old arms and legs, is tired when he rushes back! ”

Zhao Huan sat down, took a sip of tea, and grumbled.

Yesterday, he was still investigating the case of a Jiangyang thief who took many lives in Daxing County, and who knew that as soon as he returned to his residence to rest, he heard the news from the messenger that the culprit who was going to be tried today in the attack on Cining Palace got up early and hurried away, and now he didn't even have time to drink saliva.

"Zhao Shangshu is diligent, and the old man admires it! However, this arraignment of the criminal was proposed by His Royal Highness King Shou, I think he felt that the night was long and dreamy, and he wanted to find out the truth of this case as soon as possible! This case is a major case of the imperial court, the sooner the trial is clear, the sooner you can give an explanation to the government and the opposition, I will work harder! ”

Zhen Zhenji was not in a hurry, and sighed.

Zhao Huan's expression suddenly froze, and he said.

"Zhen Zongxian, I don't know the rumors circulating in Beijing these days, have you ever heard of Zhen Zongxian?"

"What's the matter, Zhao Shangshu is in Daxing County, and he also heard the rumors?"

Zhen Zhenji's face was also slightly serious, and he said.

"There are indeed a lot of rumors circulating in the court in the past few days, and there are rumors with noses and eyes, about all of them are rumoring, this time His Royal Highness Cining Palace was attacked, it was instructed by the Changchun Palace, Zheng Guotai single-handedly handled, although it is a little untrue, there are many people who can believe it, there are already people in the court who have asked His Majesty to announce the case, and even the Imperial History of the Imperial Court of Science and Technology of the Imperial Court has many of them can't help but give His Majesty a lesson, please Your Majesty severely punish Zheng Guotai!"

"It seems that the pressure on the general constitution in the past few days is not small!"

Zhao Huan shook his head and said.

He and Zhen Zhenji are the chief judges of this case, such a high-profile case, it is already under a lot of pressure, and now all kinds of rumors are rampant, I am afraid that the situation is even more uncomfortable, which is also the reason why he has been deliberately absent from the capital these days, he is afraid that the threshold of his home will be broken by all kinds of colleagues who inquire about the news......

"It's okay, the old man said he was sick and refused to answer all the posts, in the end, there are still rules in the capital, and no one dares to break into the old man's mansion!"

Zhen Zhenji smiled, but said indifferently.

He has been in the DPRK for so many years, and it is impossible that he will not be able to cope with this pressure.

After a pause, Zhen Zhenji put away a smile on his face and said a little seriously.

"But speaking of which, this case has reached such a point, I guess I can't hide it for long, Zhao Shangshu is an old criminal, I don't know the truth of this case, what speculation is there?"

"Eh, Zhen Zongxian laughed, this case is complicated, how dare the old man speculate, what is the truth, we have to wait for the trial to be clear, and then make a conclusion!"

Zhao Huan smiled awkwardly and said.

But Zhenji was very generous, took a sip of the teacup, and said lightly.

"Zhao Shangshu doesn't say it, but today you and I chat, there is no need to be so taboo, the old man thinks that although the rumors outside are a little untrue, they will not be groundless after all, as far as the evidence we have now, it is indeed unfavorable to some people, what does Zhao Shangshu think?"

"This ...... From the bottom of my heart, Your Majesty has ordered us to try this case with Dong Siqing and His Royal Highness King Shou, so let's wait for them to arrive and then discuss the case together! ”

Zhao Huan didn't expect Zhen Zhenji to say it so explicitly, hesitated for a moment, and said with a sigh.

It made Zhen Zhenji a little disappointed, this Zhao Huan is famous for being a good man in the court, but he didn't expect that Zhao Huan's attitude would be so vacillating in such a big case.

In his opinion, this time is a great opportunity, as long as it can be proved that the main messenger behind this case is the Zheng family, he can cut off the Zheng family's power in one fell swoop and set the position of the East Palace.

This is also the reason why he is a dignified Zuodu Yushi, but Zhu Changluo is the main one when he presides over the case.

Shaking his head, Zhen Zhenji thought about it and said with some concern.

"Speaking of this, the old man remembered one thing, that day I waited in the palace to explain the case, His Majesty made a decree, let the eunuch Zhang Cheng come to supervise the trial, the old man heard that Zhang Cheng has always been good friends with the concubine in the palace, this is not a good sign......

"Well, that's true, but if I think that His Royal Highness the Governor and King Shou are here, I won't let that Zhang Cheng have any chance to make a small move! Rest assured, the old man will also try this case impartially! ”

Zhao Huan pondered for a moment, and finally said reluctantly.

Zhen Zhenji looked at him deeply, but said no more.

It seems that this Zhao Huan has made up his mind not to mix in this troubled water, among the people who are now trying the case, he and King Shou naturally want to try the case clearly, and the remaining Dong Yu and Zhang Cheng are obviously biased towards the head of the palace, although Zhao Huan is wavering, but in the final analysis, he is also a civil servant, although this statement is not satisfactory to Zhen Zhenji, but it is also good.

While talking here, a huge group of people came to the east, walked to the door of the prison of the Criminal Department, and got down from the carriage a prisoner wearing a narrow-sleeved python pattern round-necked robe, Zhang Cheng!

"Our family has seen Zhen Zongxian, and we have seen Zhao Shangshu!"

Zhang Cheng arched his hand with a smile, and Zhen Zhenji and Zhao Huan also got up to return the salute.

"I've seen a palm print!"

However, when the words fell, I saw another person getting off Zhang Cheng's carriage, dressed in a scarlet court dress, but it was Dong Yu, the secretary of Dali Temple!

"When I came today, I happened to meet Dong Siqing and was also coming over, so our family took him for a ride!"

Zhang Cheng explained.

But Zhen Zhenji's face couldn't help but have a trace of worry, it seems that this Dong Yu is indeed going to stand with Zhang Cheng......

"It's not too early at this time, why hasn't His Royal Highness King Shou arrived yet? Sincerely, Zhao Shangshu, why don't we start the trial first? ”

As soon as he sat down for a moment, Zhang Cheng spoke.

For some reason, Zhen Zhenji actually felt that Zhang Cheng was very impetuous today, shook his head, and arched his hand.

"Zhang Zhangzhang doesn't need to worry, I have agreed that it will not be the first moment, but there is still some time, and His Highness will definitely arrive in time......"

Zhang Cheng frowned and said.

"From the bottom of my heart, there are still a lot of things to do in our family's celebrant supervisor, and I don't have time to spend time here."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, a mocking voice was heard in the distance.

"Zhang Zhangyin is in such a hurry, could it be that there is something important, which can be more important than the emperor's personal decree to try the case?"

As soon as everyone looked up, they saw Zhu Changluo approaching with a smile in a light narrow-sleeved round-necked robe.
