Chapter 10: Judgment and Fainting
To a certain extent, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is now more like Daxing - the emperor, the queen of the two palaces, a group of cabinet ministers such as Lai Zongdao, Yang Jingchen, Li Biao, Qian Longxi, Zhou Daodeng, Liu Hongxun, etc., as well as the eunuch Wang Chengen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Yangxing, almost all the heavyweights of the Ming Dynasty are here, if it is a party, such a luxury lineup can be said to be unprecedentedly powerful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, outside the county government, it has long been crowded with onlookers, and they can see the emperor's generals and the demeanor of the nobles in the palace when they usually listen to the play. If it hadn't happened suddenly but had been widely announced, there would have been more people who came to watch: after all, this kind of onlooker can boast to relatives, friends, and neighbors for a lifetime is rare and hard to find.
However, so many big names in the sky seem to be all tricks, and the real finale protagonist Liang Yanyang has not yet appeared - if he is really doing a party now.
It's a pity that this is not a party but a trial scene, and the position of Liang Yanyang, the protagonist of the finale, is completely uninteresting - to be personally tried by such an all-star lineup under the command of all the pavilion elders and Jinyiwei, and the emperor and the nobles in the palace to hear the trial together, such an honor, I don't know how many generations Liang Yanyang's ancestors have cultivated, so no one can bear to grab this kind of opportunity with him. After all, the ancestors have cultivated for so many generations, and it is easy to cultivate a wisp of green smoke, and it is too luxurious to use it on such occasions.
In addition to the all-star trial lineup and Liang Yanyang, who spent countless green smoke on the ancestral tomb, there is another person who is so inconspicuous that people ignore that he is the original Qingtian lord and local parent in this Daxing City. Liang Yuehao sat at the bottom, but he also knew very well in his heart that when the case was halfway through, his seat should not be saved, and when the case was finished, it would be his turn to keep the black gauze hat on his head. Liang Yuehao didn't have any thoughts at this time, in his opinion, as long as the case was tried to the end and his head could be saved, it was the ancestral tomb that was smoking-thinking that he and Liang Yanyang's family were the same ancestral tomb, Liang Yuehao was worried that all the green smoke on the ancestors had been used up by Liang Yanyang and did not give himself a little left: he was born in two Jinshi, and Liang Yanyang was unlearned, so the ancestors should not favor one over the other, right?
"Smack!" Coming to Zongdao, he slapped the shocked wood, and pulled Liang Yuehao, who was in the fugue, back to reality, "Ascend to the hall!" ”
"Wei ...... The officials on both sides of the ......" shouted might, and at the same time stabbed the water and fire sticks to the ground, so that the onlookers fully realized that the national law was strict, and successfully completed their only task - heavy troops had already been deployed around the county government to protect them, and no one expected that the original officials in these county offices could protect so many nobles, so the officials were more like playing the role of hostesses.
"Take someone to commit it!" Coming to Zongdao is another drink full of energy.
Liang Yanyang was escorted to the court, and he was pushed to his knees left and right - the protagonist of the finale finally came on the stage, and the party ushered in a climax.
"Who is the surname of the person kneeling in the hall, and who is the person, report it quickly!" Lai Zongdao's trial experience seems to be very rich, and Xiao Mu feels that it is the same as the way he interrogates suspects by the police in the TV series - even though he knows the name of the other party, he still has to ask and let the other party report it to break the other party's will: sure enough, the superb interrogation skills are all the same, and it seems that the way Lin Yi interrogated them in that era should not be much different. I don't know why, Xiao Mu always thinks about TV today, obviously he spent far more time on the Internet than watching TV in the past few years in college.
"Back to the adult, the small people Liang Yanyang, the people of the Daimyo Mansion."
"Liang Yanyang, the official asked you, are you guilty?" Lai Zongdao asked sharply.
"The villain is guilty."
"Since you are convicted, tell me what sin you have committed?" Lai Zongdao asked rhetorically.
Liang Yanyang drooped his head and said: "The villain has eyes but no beads, offending Tianyan, and deserves death." ”
Li Biao snorted coldly beside him, "The nobles of the heavenly family, the body of ten thousand gold, dare to plunder and detain them, this thief is so mad, it can be seen that he must have done a lot of things in the country without a king." ”
"What Master Li said is very true, Liang Yanyang, this official asked you, what other illegal things do you have, why don't you come quickly?" Lai Zongdao then asked.
"The villain is guilty, the villain has done the theft of property in the restaurant, and has also started to do some abduction and trafficking of women and children in recent days......" Liang Yanyang was very cooperative, and he answered whatever he asked in Zongdao, and he didn't seem to have the slightest idea of denial.
"Lord Liang, do you know that this thief usually does such illegal things?" Lai Zongdao asked Liang Yuehao again.
Liang Yuehao sighed in his heart, stood up and replied: "The lower officials are stupid, and there is no way to govern the county, so that there is such a thing in the county that has no king's law but has not heard of it, and the lower officials have committed the crime of negligence, and they have failed the emperor's grace, please send the emperor." ”
Xiao Mu listened to Liang Yuehao's words, and was happy in his heart: this person pushed the responsibility away, and only said one negligence, and it seemed that he still had illusions, thinking that he could escape punishment.
I saw Li Biao in the hall say angrily: "Lord Liang is a dignified county, someone in the county has committed such a horrific crime, but you only say that you don't know?" If you are so blunt, how do you gain fame? I don't think you can talk about Jinshi, even if you are a child, you can't pass the exam! ”
"Xiaguan is ashamed......" Liang Yuehao was submissive below, not daring to speak out.
"Liang Yanyang! This official will ask you again, what is your relationship with Liang Zhixian? Li Biao asked Liang Yanyang again.
"Back to my lord, Liang Zhixian and the villain are cousins, half a year ago, the villain heard that Liang Zhixian intended to be promoted, but suffered from the lack of silver and filial piety to the official, so he gave Liang Zhixian two thousand taels of silver before and after, for his upper and lower use, and Liang Zhixian turned a blind eye to my crimes in the county. Liang Zhixian told the villain that it was now the time of the fall of the eunuch party in the DPRK, and the Ming Dynasty was all concerned about this matter, and no one would pay attention to what the villain did, so the villain became more and more bold and reckless, so that it made a big mistake and offended Tianyan. The night before the villain restaurant was copied at a loss, so he quietly went to the county government to discuss countermeasures with Liang Zhixian, Liang Zhixian learned that the villain collided with the nobleman, so he arrested the villain, forced the villain to tell the place where the mother was held, and escorted the villain to search, I don't want the lady to be lucky at that time, has escaped, and then met the two messengers of Jinyiwei......"
The onlookers all gasped, it turned out that this Liang Yuanwai really had collusion with the magistrate, no wonder he would have been so fearless before, if it wasn't for the saint to come to Weifu for a private visit, I really don't know how long he would be the king and hegemon here. While the onlookers were afraid and happy, they also secretly despised Liang Yuehao who betrayed his teammates: Sure enough, this scholar has a heart.
Liang Yanyang's attitude was as cooperative as ever, and he made the ins and outs of the matter clear, as if these things were done by others and he was just a bystander. His performance is easy to explain: Originally, he and Liang Yuehao were grasshoppers on the same rope, but Liang Yuehao suddenly attacked him and pitted him. Liang Yuehao made a good calculation, first arrested Liang Yanyang, and then thought about "rescuing" the queen to invite merit to wash away his suspicions. The existence of such a pit teammate, Liang Yanyang holds a grudge and pulls out all the things about Liang Yuehao, which is naturally reasonable.
Liang Yuehao was trembling all over at this time, although he shouted words like "there is no such thing" and "spewing people with blood", even he couldn't believe these words, let alone others. So Liang Yuehao shouted that he was wronged, and at the same time, he was stripped of the black yarn and stripped of the official mansion - this Daxingzhi County has nothing to do with him.
The case has been tried here, basically everything is clear, and the climax of this drama is basically over, and the next thing is that Liang Yanyang's family thugs have also been tried, and the confessions that Liang Yanyang said have been confirmed by his thugs one by one, and Liang Yuehao's bribery has also been proven.
Lai Zongdao felt that the case was almost tried, and the emperor would be able to return to the palace to manage the government immediately, and he would complete the task himself, and when he returned to the capital and the government returned to normal, he could return to his hometown, and he would no longer have to participate in the affairs of the party and intrigue in the officialdom. When I was happy, I only heard the voice of Xiao Mu, who had never spoken, in my ears:
"Who are you, report your name!"
Originally, Xiao Mu also felt that the case was almost tried, and he didn't want to listen to the rest of the small fish and shrimp, plus the cold had not been good, and his body was not very comfortable, so he planned to go to the back office to rest, and leave the rest of the things to Lai Zongdao and them to do. Just when Xiao Mu was about to get up, he saw one of Liang Yanyang's subordinates who was painting under the hall, Xiao Mu felt that this person was very familiar, so he took a closer look at it twice, but it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, after reading it, Xiao Mu suddenly found that this person seemed to be Xie Lianhui's father when he first arrived in Daxing and bought Xie Lianhui (Xiaohua) on the street.
The man kept his head down, not daring to look up at the hall rudely, and he didn't see Xiao Mu's face, and when he saw the nobleman in the hall asking his name, he knelt down and kowtowed and said: "The villain's surname is Du, there is no big name, the sixth in the family, and people call the villain Du Lao Liu." ”
"Yang Tao, Hu Yun, you guys also come and see who this is!" Xiao Mu thought that he was not mistaken, but he still called Yang Tao and Hu Yun, who were also there at the time, to confirm.
Originally, they were still wondering why Xiao Mu was suddenly in such a hurry, but when the two saw Du Lao Liu's appearance, they both knew what was going on in their hearts, and Yang Tao confirmed to Xiao Mu: "The emperor is not mistaken, it is this person." ”
"Wow! A good family has no food, and a good old father is sick and has no money for treatment! Xiao Mu said angrily, forgetting even the matter of calling himself "I", "Why is your daughter diligent, and people like you are also worthy of such a good girl?" I was so blind that I believed your nonsense!
Suddenly, Xiao Mu felt that his throat was sweet, and then he spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", and then his eyes went black, and his body fell down, losing consciousness.
"Your Majesty!"
"Quickly pass on the doctor to help!" There was a sudden chaos in the county office.
