Less than three days after today's son Yu court's court strongly supported Yang Zhen's murder of the Japanese people, the Criminal Department finally opened the trial of the case. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because of this, they have no excuse to continue to delay.

Because he had been detained in a cell that did not see the light of day for a long time, when Yang Zhen was taken outside, he really couldn't stand the blazing sun, and couldn't help but raise his hand to block it. After a long time, his eyes adjusted to the light outside, and he realized that he had followed someone to the lobby of the criminal department.

As mentioned above, the various yamen of the Ming Dynasty are basically carved out of a mold, even if it is one of the six criminal departments, it looks very similar to the state and county yamen, but it occupies a larger area and the building looks more magnificent.

In addition, what made Yang Zhen slightly interested was a one-horned monster standing outside the hall, which was a monster that looked a little similar to the stone lion outside the ordinary yamen, but it was different, especially the one-horn raised high above its head, which was even more weird.

This beast is called the Pig Pig, also known as the Renfa Beast, which is an ancient divine beast that represents justice and symbolizes the existence of justice. It is said that the beast can read people's hearts and minds, and if there is an argument between the loyal and the traitor, it will stand on the good side and stab the evil one to death with horns.

As the highest judicial organ of the Ming Dynasty, the Criminal Department set up this beast in front of its lobby for self-evident purposes, just for a fair part.

Yang Zhen has been in this era for two or three years, so he naturally knows that there is such a thing, but it is the first time he has seen this badger, so he has admired this special monster a few more times at this moment.

However, his behavior, which was completely different from ordinary people, aroused the speculation of people with intentions. In fact, for ordinary Ming officials and people, Yang Zhen is not guilty of killing a widow at all, and with the help of the Son of Heaven, more people feel that he is not only innocent but meritorious. Now, Yang Zhen has focused his attention on the pig who represents judicial fairness, as if hinting to the officials of the Criminal Department, but they must try my case fairly!

Not long after standing outside the hall, I heard the summons of the prisoner Yang Zhen to the court. Yang Zhen then walked in with firm steps and under the guard of two officials of the Criminal Department. To be honest, after coming to this era, Yang Zhen has also been to court several times, but this is the first time that he has appeared in court as a defendant and criminal like today.

After coming to the front of the hall and standing still, Yang Zhen squinted his eyes and looked forward, and immediately saw the presiding officer sitting behind the long case in front of him, dressed in a scarlet official uniform and with a serious face. On the side of him a little below, there are two people who look like a clerk, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on top of the small case in front of him, who seem to be responsible for recording the trial process. Below, there is the official of the criminal department holding a water and fire stick. Except that the rank of this chief judge was higher than what he had seen before, it was no different from what Yang Zhen had seen before.

Naturally, it is not Shangshu Liu Ziqiang who is in charge of the trial, otherwise this standard is too high, and of course it is not possible to send a petty official such as an ordinary chief to try it, after all, this case has a great impact, and the Criminal Department does not dare to let people gossip. So today's presiding judge is the squire Ren Zhigu. This servant is naturally the real mastermind behind the scenes who instigated a few sons and brothers to go to Qipan Street to make trouble.

Regarding the next case, Ren Zhigu is actually quite conflicted. On the one hand, from his own heart, he naturally hopes to convict Yang Zhen, and it is always a happy thing to be able to convict the person who harmed his brother with his own hands. But at the same time, he also knew that with the current public opinion environment and the pressure from above, he was afraid that it would be difficult to convict Yang Zhen of his own crimes, and he didn't want to exchange his future for Yang Zhen's life, so even when it came to the trial, he was still a little dilemma.

And Lord Ren, who was in a dilemma, not only did he not kneel down and salute like other prisoners after seeing Yang Zhen enter the lobby, but he went to that station in a big way, and when he looked around, he followed the hotel to find a seat, and suddenly his heart was full of anger, and his desire to convict him was a little heavier.

Angry, Lord Ren no longer worried too much, and immediately patted the shocked Tang Mu in front of him and shouted: "Who is in front of the hall, report your name, why don't you kneel when you see this official?" With his shout, the yacha on both sides also pointed to the ground with sticks at the same time, shouting mightily, and suddenly the hall was slaughtered.

If there is a different prisoner, let alone seeing this scene, even if you enter the lobby of the yamen of the criminal department, you will have to be scared and tremble. But Yang Zhen is obviously not comparable to ordinary people, and when he saw this situation, he just withdrew his gaze from the four glances, looked back at the tall Zeng Lord, and arched his hand and said: "Under Yang Zhen, he is a hundred households in brocade clothes." Because he has an official position, for the sake of the dignity of the court, he can't kneel down and salute, and I hope this lord will forgive me. ”

"Hmm......" Ren Zhigu thought that Yang Zhen was not an ordinary prisoner, and he still had an official position, so he was a little stunned for a while. In fact, as long as the officials who have committed crimes are not in a particularly high position, they will honestly kneel down to listen to the trial at this time, after all, at this time, their official positions will not be able to be retained, so why do they have to fight against the chief judge? Ren Zhigu also ignored the fact that Yang Zhen was an official because of this unspoken rule.

But since Yang Zhen made it clear that he refused to kneel, and there was a reason for him, Ren Zhigu had no choice but to stop insisting. But in this way, in terms of momentum, he, the chief judge, was three points weaker before the trial.

Lord Ren, who was a little annoyed in his heart, was stunned and then slapped the shocked wood again: "The official Yang Zhen asked you, you killed the Japanese envoy Kinoshita Taro because of a quarrel in the 'Food for Heaven' restaurant in the capital on June 30, can you plead guilty?" As he spoke, he stared at Yang Zhen with a pair of eyes to give him the greatest pressure.

But his thoughts were obviously in vain, and Yang Zhen would not take this kind of gaze seriously at all. He continued to clench his fists and said, "Yes, I did fight a Japanese man in 'Food for the Sky' that day, and I killed him by mistake. ”

Including Ren Zhigu, everyone present was stunned, and everyone had to deny it first, and then they were willing to reveal the truth under the pressure of the presiding judge. But why is this defendant so real today, and he tells the truth with this question?

Just when everyone felt strange, Yang Zhen continued: "But I only admit to killing him, but I can't admit that I broke the law, I'm not guilty!" ”

"Huh?" Ren Zhigu was stunned again, but then he was shocked and said angrily: "How can this really be reasonable, dare to claim innocence when killing people in broad daylight?" Do you say that my Daming law is false? ”

Facing the anger of the presiding judge, Yang Zhen smiled unhurriedly: "Although I haven't read the Da Ming Law, I still know common sense. If it is for self-preservation and saving others, it is not a sin to kill the wicked person who committed the murder, right? I don't know what do you think of my Da Ming Law, who should be very familiar with my big law? ”

In fact, this point has been refuted by Wanli as early as the court, and Ren Zhigu was present at the time. Unexpectedly, this little brocade-clothed Wei Baihu actually took out these words to block his mouth, which made him feel both difficult to refute and a little annoyed, and this kid was too bold.

Fortunately, Lord Ren had something else to say, but he would not completely fall into passivity because of this, so he turned his face and said: "Even so, it is not a reason for you to kill and injure human lives at will, after all, human lives are at stake." ”

"If Zai is just an ordinary person, it is naturally a bit of a sin to kill him, but I am a hundred Jinyi guards on Qipan Street, and my duty is to manage the local law and order, since he still wants to hurt people when he makes trouble there, he naturally can't ignore it!" Yang Zhen has nothing else to do in prison these days, and he has already made various speculations about the situation he may encounter, and has come up with a way to deal with it.

Seeing that Ren Zhigu was a little stunned by his words, Yang Zhen took advantage of the situation and said: "Everything before and after this incident, the diners who ate at 'Food for the Sky' that day and the shopkeeper in the restaurant all looked at it. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone. ”

"I won't have to ask you to teach the official about this." glared at Yang Zhen angrily, Ren Zhigu had no choice but to show his killer weapon: "Even so, it is a felony for you to kill the envoy of the Wa State as an official, making it difficult for the imperial court to give an account to the people related to the Wa State!" Then he commanded the witnesses to be summoned to court.

After a while, a petty officer in a green robe walked up to the court. Yang Zhen took a closer look at him and recognized that this person was Ma Yue, the Sibin of Honglu Temple who had forcibly kept him in the restaurant that day. But to Yang Zhen's surprise, it has only been more than a month, and this Ma Sibin seems to be in his teens and twenties, as if he is sitting on behalf of Yang Zhen in these two months.

He didn't know that in the past two months, Ma Yue's life has been really difficult. The envoy of the Japanese kingdom was killed by his side, and his responsibility was naturally great. And as the case continued to ferment and change, he was pointed at his backbone and scolded as a traitor, and the torture was great.

What made Ma Yue feel even more desperate was that just two days ago, the Son of Heaven said by name that he was wrong in the court, which made this petty official, who had always been self-motivated, completely desperate and knew that his career was coming to an end.

And all of his today is due to Yang Zhen in front of him, so when he saw Yang Zhen at this moment, Ma Yue's eyes almost wanted to spew fire, and he hated to burn it to ashes.

After barely suppressing the anger in his heart, Ma Yue bowed to Zeng Chunxian, revealed his name and identity, and then waited for the other party's inquiry.

Ren Zhigu saw him so polite, and compared with Yang Zhen, he felt that this official was much cuter. said with a pleasant face: "Ma Sibin, you are also the person involved in this case, so I won't go into details." I summoned you here today to ask you something, do you think Yang Zhen killed the Japanese envoy out of self-defense or for another reason? ”

Ma Yue knew that his future had been cut off, so he naturally hated Yang Zhen to the bone. I thought it would be difficult to take revenge, but today I was suddenly called as a witness, and when I was asked such a question, I immediately ignored everything, and said in the most affirmative voice: "Xia Guan thinks that Yang Zhen didn't kill the envoy of the Japanese State out of self-defense, he could easily knock down the Japanese man at that time but chose to grab the knife and kill people, it can be said that he was completely a deliberate murderer!" ”

Third, it came as promised。。。。。
