Chapter 173: Court Lawsuit

All the way back to Zhongjing, Zhu Zhenguo never made any stop except for a day in Cangbei, where he met Zhu Xiong and expressed his gratitude. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info and the group went straight to Zhongjing.

After a month, I finally arrived outside Zhongjing City.

In the past month, Zhu Zhenguo and Xia Wenhan, the king of Yan, have become closer and closer, from pretending to be stupid and stunned when they first talked, to slowly being willing to say some of their true thoughts.

From some anecdotes to poems and songs, from martial arts to family affairs and Ouyang Shimeng. The two young people, Zhu Zhenguo and Xia Wenhan, seem to have slowly become friends.

Although Zhu Zhenguo still has reservations, Zhu Zhenguo's perception of this Yan King is getting better and better, smart, thoughtful, and insightful. This is Zhu Zhenguo's evaluation of Xia Wenhan.

After entering Zhongjing, the two parted ways. Zhu Zhenguo went straight to the Criminal Department's Detective Factory, and this King Yan went to his mansion in Zhongjing to repair and wash up, preparing to enter the palace the next day.

Zhu Zhenguo took everyone back to the Criminal Department's Detective Factory, first went to see Ouyang Zheng, and then tortured him in the prison. Along the way, he was only concerned with hurrying, and the interrogation did not go on at all.

Instead, the two adults slowly came out of the fright, thinking about how to deal with some things. I didn't expect to be tortured directly in prison.

There is a saying that you can't punish a doctor. Zhu Zhenguo became the first person to torture the feudal officials.

In fact, this chain of evidence is complete, only some confessions need to be made, Li Da is no longer the most critical link in this chain of evidence, Li Da is just a witness sent by Yun Shidao to kill Zhu Zhenguo, for this murder case, compared to the fraud case in the entire county, it is actually nothing.

Ouyang Zheng was also busy writing the recital, writing these things on the original one, and the person who judged Yun Shidao and Han Xuren was not Ouyang Zheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, nor the law, but the Emperor Chengping of the Dynasty.

The punishment of literati was unexpectedly simple. I thought that the literati were bones, and when they spoke, they were generous to death, but they didn't expect that these two elders had never experienced pain for decades.

In Zhu Zhenguo's heart, these two bosses are not as tough as Li Da, who was born as a gangster. But this Li Da deserves the word "generous death".

After a few days, everything was ready. Ouyang Zheng informed Zhu Zhenguo to go to court together the next day. To put it mildly, this Zhu Zhenguo is not qualified to go to the court, and this time Ouyang Zheng needs Zhu Zhenguo to help explain the situation. In the final analysis, this is also a lawsuit, and this Zhu Zhenguo is also the main witness of the Criminal Department, just like a prosecutor in his previous life.

Before dawn on the second day, Zhu Zhenguo put on the seven-grade court clothes, took the soldiers, and escorted the prisoners to wait at the door of the yamen of the criminal department.

After a while, Ouyang Zheng's carriage also came from the street. Zhu Zhenguo just stepped forward to salute and set off into the Forbidden City.

When entering the palace gate, no one else was allowed to enter, so they could only wait outside, but Zhu Zhenguo and Ouyang Zheng entered the palace gate. A cadre of prisoners was replaced by soldiers of the Praetorian Guard.

Outside the main hall, Zhu Zhenguo could only wait outside, and Ouyang Zheng entered the court.

After standing for a while, I could only hear three shouts inside, and everyone outside the door also knelt and bowed, and of course Zhu Zhenguo could only kneel and worship.

After a long time, I heard a sharp shout from the eunuch: "Spread the blessing Zhenguo." ”

Zhu Zhenguo followed the little eunuch on the side into the court, lowered his head and kept walking forward, at this time looking up at the emperor is disrespectful, he can only bow his head and walk to the position indicated by the little eunuch, Zhu Zhenguo knelt on the ground, and said long live.

"Zhu Zhenguo, cough cough... Get up and answer, and tell the story as it is. Ahem。。。。。 "Emperor Chengping obviously knew Zhu Zhenguo.

Zhu Zhenguo was not nervous in his heart, but when he heard Emperor Chengping say a word, he coughed twice, and he also knew that this emperor was obviously sick. It's funny to think about it, the emperor who hasn't been in court for ten years is now sick and has to go to court.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen。。。。。。 After meeting the Qian family, Weichen already felt that this case must be true, so he 。。。。。 His Royal Highness King Yan broke the siege in time, and Weichen was able to take Lord Yun and Lord Han back to Zhongjing. Zhu Zhenguo originally told the matter, but he deliberately omitted to take 10,000 taels of silver, and the silver was spent by himself, so there is no need to talk about it again.

"What do you think?" After Emperor Chengping finished speaking, he coughed a few more times.

Zhu Zhenguo listened to the emperor's constant coughing, and knew in his heart that the emperor was only afraid that he would be very sick. This kind of cough is afraid that it has caused pneumonia.

"Your Majesty, this Zhu Zhenguo's words are only afraid that there are many untruths, and the minister thinks that this Zhu Zhenguo with a hundred soldiers can fight all the way to kill thieves, and can also rush into the city under the guard of thousands of soldiers, this matter must be different." It was Zhu Tingchang, the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, who spoke.

Zhu Zhenguo listened to Zhu Tingchang's words, and sighed in his heart, where do you not know that this Yun Shi Dao is only afraid that he has a lot to do with Zhu Tingchang, there is a way that there are people in the court who are good officials, and this Zhu Tingchang is the person in the Yun Shi Dao court.

Zhu Zhenguo raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Tingchang who came out next to him, this was the first time Zhu Zhenguo saw this auxiliary minister, so he took a few careful looks. I don't care about Zhu Tingchang's defense in my heart, the biggest evidence in this case is those exam papers, as soon as this thing comes out, where can it be justified.

"Bring in the cloud time path." Emperor Chengping didn't say much, maybe he was also sick, and he just wanted to solve the matter quickly.

"Your Majesty, be the master of the ministers, the ministers have been taught by the saints, and have been favored by the emperor, always remember to serve the country and the people, and do your best. Wechen was severely punished... Emperor... This Yun Shidao took off his shackles outside, entered the main hall, and knelt on the ground, wailing and crying.

Zhu Zhenguo was already stunned at this time, when this Yun Shidao was in the prison of the Criminal Department, he only kowtowed and begged for mercy, and when he came to the emperor's side, he was another iron-clad minister, this change gap was really unexpected by Zhu Zhenguo.

"Ahem... Crying and crying, what kind of system! Let me ask you, is there any such thing as buying and selling people? Emperor Chengping coughed when he opened his mouth, and when he saw this cloud, he was crying, and his heart was even more irritable, and his tone was full of anger.

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, these things, the minister never knows, wronged." This Yun Shidao listened to the emperor's tone, but he suppressed his crying, and shouted injustice one after another.
