Dali Temple is one of the three legal divisions of the highest judicial organ of the imperial court. Qin was called Tingwei, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty changed its name to Dali, and then called Dali, when it was called Tingwei, when Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, set up Dali Temple, he personally recognized the Qing of Dali, that is, the ancient Tingwei.

Dali Temple Qing is the third product, and the cabinet college students are only five products, the Ming Dynasty in order to check and balance officials, so the popular position is inferior, although the cabinet college students will generally add three dukes, three orphans, but can also see the importance of Dali Temple!

Zhang Sanmo, the secretary of Dali Temple, sat calmly on the chair, even if he knew that the emperor and the cabinet ministers were sitting in the next compartment, he was determined to put Wang Chengen and Luo Yangxing in prison today to correct the law of the country!

Zhang Sanmo is the apprentice of Donglin boss Zhao Nanxing. Once in Zhao Nanxing's house, lecturing and arguing, facing the wall for ten years, after the academic progress, he was successfully admitted to the Jinshi, with a big boss promoted above, Zhang Sanmo's Qingyun Road went very smoothly, and he became Dali Siqing in just 12 years.

Today, he also relied on his identity as the secretary of Dali Temple, and took over the case against public opinion, this is indeed an opportunity to go down in history, but the consequences of offending the emperor are not something that ordinary people can bear, and only if he has the support of the Donglin Party behind him can he dare to be so unscrupulous!

"Smack!" Zhang Sanmo was shocked and shouted: "Take the plaintiff Fan Yongdou to the court!" ”

A middle-aged man with a white face wearing a brocade robe and a jade pendant around his waist walked up to the hall, and it seemed that he did not have the treacherous of a businessman, but had a bit of Confucian demeanor.

"Grass folk Fan Yongdou meets the adults!" Fan Yongdou knelt down and saluted Zhang Sanmo!

"Fan Yongdou, you sued Wang Chengen and Luo Yang for killing your Fan family today, and the defendant in this case has been brought here, and you will now state the facts and facts clearly!" Zhang Sanmo asked Fan Yongdou with a threatening expression.

"Wait, Lord Zhang, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, those who sue the officials must be punished with a cane for thirty first, Lord Zhang must not forget!" Yang Su reminded loudly in the compartment.

Wen Zhenmeng, who was next to him, immediately spoke out to stop, "Your Majesty, this is Dali Temple, Lord Zhang, as the secretary of Dali Temple, represents me at this moment, and you can't interfere in Lord Zhang's trial!" ”

"Okay, I'll stop talking!" Yang Su sat back and kept silent!

A trace of disdain flashed in Zhang Sanmo's eyes, if the emperor only had these small actions, then he would not be able to stop him today!

He commanded the official in his mouth, "Come on, pull Fan Yongdou out and scold him for thirty strokes!" ”

The seemingly simple process of beating the board in the Ming Dynasty actually hides a lot of cats, there are a lot of exquisite, and there are many insiders, in ancient times, the maximum number of canes was punished by a hundred, but this hundred canes are basically useless, if you want to kill people, ordinary people only need ten strokes to be beaten to the pelvis and even internal organs are broken, even if it is a martial artist in the realm of easy bones, it can not carry up to twenty strokes.

And this board is not something you can do with brute strength, the first thing that the ancient officials had to practice was two kinds of board skills, so that they could compete for posts.

One is light on the outside and heavy on the inside, this method should find a piece of tofu on the ground on weekdays, take a small board to hit it, only there is a sound, the tofu is not allowed to be broken, and when it is finished, the tofu inside is all rotten, and the outside is still a square piece, and it is not moving at all to be qualified.

The second is that the outside is heavy and the inside is light, requiring the officials to practice until they wrap their clothes in paper, and after beating the board, the clothes are tattered and the paper is not damaged.

When the above orders how to fight, if it is called "fight with heart", then use the first kind of kung fu, the prisoner is basically dead, shouting "really beat", that is, beating the crippled but not killed, shouting "hard fighting", then beating half to death.

If the above is called "hit hard", then you have to use the second method, give a little pain, and beat the ass to the skin and flesh, but it hurts the skin and bones, and there is no danger of resting for a few days to get off the ground.

With the emperor here today, of course Zhang Sanmo couldn't shout anymore, but the officials had been prepared for this situation for a long time, and the officials saw Zhang Sanmo's toes wide open.

How could he not understand what Zhang Sanmo meant, and after receiving the order, he pulled Fan Yongdou out to "pop papa" is a board.

When Fan Yongdou was helped back, there was no major problem except that his face was slightly pale and his buttocks were beaten and bleeding.

A smug smile flashed on Zhang Sanmo's face, "The cane has passed!" Fan Yongdou, you can present the case in court now, don't be afraid! This official will call the shots for you! ”

"It's my lord, my brother Fan Yongdou personally went to Jiafu three days ago to ask for relatives, I never thought to meet Wang Chengen in Jiafu is instructing Jinyiwei to arrest Jia Yu and others, my brother is not afraid of power to come forward to argue, but Wang Chengen is jealous, so Jinyiwei beat my brother to death with a bird! And after that, I copied my Fan family's Beppu in the capital, and all the clansmen were arrested by the Beizhen Fusi and put in prison, I don't know if they live or die. Avenge the grievances of my people! Fan Yongdou couldn't help but be sad about this matter in advance.

Zhang Sanmo nodded sympathetically and said solemnly, "Don't worry! This is Dali Temple, no matter who he is, as long as he violates my Ming law, this official will definitely bring him to justice, and you kneel on the side of the plaintiff stone! Let's see how this official pays you justice! ”

"Smack!" Zhang Sanmo suddenly slapped the shocked wood and shouted, "Take the defendant to court!" ”

Wang Chengen and Luo Yangxing strode up to the hall, ignoring Zhang Sanmo, and stood in the hall with indifferent expressions.

"Why didn't the two defendants kneel when they saw the official?" Zhang Sanmo's eyes widened and he said angrily.

When Wang Chengen and Luo Yangxing heard this, they looked at Zhang Sanmo like fools, and they didn't move at all!

"Boldly accused, as a criminal of the imperial court, he dares to see and despise this official! Someone is here to serve the official with a big punishment! Zhang Sanmo slapped the table and shouted at the official standing next to him.

The officials suddenly felt the cold gaze of the brocade guards who were guarding around them, and they trembled with fright! Quickly bow your head and pretend you didn't hear! I scolded in my heart and cordially greeted Zhang Sanmo's whole family!

Drag Wang Chengen and Luo Yangxing out to play the board, no matter what the final outcome of this case is, Zhang Sanmo will be famous in history from today onwards!

But these hands-on servants are remembered by the emperor and the brocade guards, can they still see the sun tomorrow? They're not stupid! It's a big deal to throw away the honor guard, and you can't do these stupid things!

Yang Su sat in the cubicle and could clearly see the situation outside, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain! He came here to occupy a place for Wang Chengen Luo, even if he didn't say a word, he could make these people dare not act willfully, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, you Zhang Sanmo has the support of the Donglin Party and naturally has no scruples, others don't dare!

Zhang Sanmo's face was gloomy, he glanced at the servant, and asked in a sullen voice, "Wang Chengen, Luo Yang, Fan Yongsheng accused you of killing other people, you are denying the crime!" ”

Wang Chengen Luo still didn't hear it, and stood in the hall leisurely.

Zhang Sanmo was angry and picked up the startling wood and was about to slap it on the table, but he couldn't help it, turned his head and looked into the compartment, he understood that as long as the emperor didn't leave, he wouldn't want to have a result today.

Wen Zhenmeng couldn't help but get up and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yang Su's words, "Wen Zhenmeng, this is Dali Temple!" You are not Dali Siqing, Zhang Sanmo doesn't need you to teach him to try cases! ”

Wen Zhenmeng was like eating a fly, he didn't step back when he stepped forward, and in the end, Qian Shisheng came forward to pull him back.

"Since the defendant is not satisfied with the lawsuit, the person who came will bring the witness!" Zhang Sanmo suppressed his anger!

A maid of about eight or nine years old dressed in a red brocade cotton jacket, an old man in shabby clothes, and two young men dressed as shopkeepers, the four of them walked up to the hall tremblingly and knelt in front of Zhang Sanmo.

"Witness Xue Yan, did you see Wang Chengen instructing Jinyiwei to kill Fan Yongdou and others that day?" Zhang Sanmo asked Xue Yan softly.

"Back to the adult's words, the slave maid saw with her own eyes that day, this father-in-law instructed Jinyiwei to kill Master Fan! Then they all took our eldest and second masters away! Snow Goose's face was pale, and she pointed at Wang Chengen with some trembling and said.

"Witness Zhao Laohan, this official asked you if there were blood stains on the ground when you cleaned the streets that day, and whether those blood stains were left by Jinyiwei's car after driving!" Zhang Sanmo turned his head and asked Zhao Laohan again.

"Yes, the old man saw with his own eyes that those cars were full of prisoners, and they kept dripping blood!" Zhao Laohan didn't dare to raise his head, knelt on the ground and said in a muffled voice.

"Good!" Zhang Sanmo stroked his beard and smiled, and then asked the remaining two, "The two of you are working as juniors in the restaurant on the street opposite Fusi in Beizhen, and it was the two of you who greeted you in front of the building that day, and the official asked if you saw Jinyi Wei carrying the corpse?" ”

"The villains saw it that day, and the two corpses were beaten by firearms and were inhuman, and the villains can still remember them!" The shopkeeper said in unison.

Zhang Sanmo showed a sinister smile on his face, slapped it violently, and shouted: "Wang Chengen, what else do you have to say now!" ”

"Nothing to say!" Wang Chengen finally spoke with a sneer on his face.

Zhang Sanmo was overjoyed and secretly said in his heart that he was not afraid that you would argue with me, but he was afraid that you would not say anything, the emperor was next to him, Zhang Sanmo could not directly convict the two of them, it must be convincing!

"Now that the testimony of the witnesses is conclusive, there is nothing to say to you!" Zhang Sanmo smiled disdainfully.

"Where did Master Zhang find a few cats and dogs, and if you say a few words at will, you can determine that our family is guilty? If the case is tried according to Lord Zhang, then our family still told Commander Luo that you, Zhang Sanmo, forced your son to death in order to have an affair with your daughter-in-law, should Commander Luo also arrest you and sentence you! Wang Chengen sneered without smiling.

"Wang Chengen, you bastard!" Zhang Sanmo looked at Wang Chengen with resentful eyes and scolded and couldn't wait to pounce on Wang Chengen alive, who didn't know that his only son Zhang Sanmo had died early, and the Zhang family was the last in his generation!

This has always been Zhang Sanmo's reverse scale, and today it was mentioned in public by Wang Chengen, a eunuch, who added fuel and materials, which made him even more angry!

"If you are allowed to set fire to Zhang Sanmo, are you not allowed to light the lamp?" Wang Chengen mocked in a strange tone of yin and yang characteristic of eunuchs.

Zhang Sanmo is no longer messing with Wang Chengen, he can see clearly, Wang Chengen just wants to disgust him.

"Now the evidence of the case of Wang Chengen commanding Jinyiwei to brutally kill the people is conclusive, and the official pronounces the verdict in the court, Wang Chengen should be beheaded according to the law, Luo Yangxu neglected his duties, and even helped cover up the facts afterwards, which is also an accomplice! Someone will take these two criminals down to the official! Zhang Sanmo said with righteous words.

The officials in the hall all lowered their heads to study how their feet looked so good.

Wen Zhenmeng couldn't stand it anymore, and angrily scolded Yang Su, "The emperor has now had conclusive evidence, Lord Zhang has pronounced the verdict, and the emperor should return to the palace!" After that, things should be handed over to Dali Temple! ”

"The emperor's law is the foundation of my dynasty's governance of the country and the people, if the emperor takes the lead in violating it, wouldn't he ignore my Ming dynasty and the country, and beg the emperor to return to the palace immediately!" Qian Shisheng also stood up and said.

"Don't worry, I'm waiting for someone!" Yang Su said lightly, and then closed his eyes to recuperate!

The ministers wondered in their hearts who the emperor was waiting for? At this time, no one can save Wang Chengen! But since the emperor spoke, they didn't dare to force the emperor to leave directly! Just stay up here, and adopt non-violent non-cooperation with Yang Su!

Just when the farce was staged in the hall, a large group of officials rushed to outside the Dali Temple.

Headed by Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and the emperor's father-in-law, Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu, the officials after them are all nobles!
