Chapter 108 Cheng Chan and Wen Xiangye
Qin Lei can talk in the lobby of Kyoto Prefecture, but it doesn't mean that he can still be in the imperial study.
Today is the third day of solving the case within a time limit, and the four chief judges of the Zhongdu arson case came to the outside of the imperial study early in the morning to wait to see the driver.
After waiting for half an hour, the eunuch inside opened the door and came out to announce it.
After the four of them saluted Emperor Zhaowu, they saluted the prime minister and the chief lieutenant sitting on the left and right. After the four of them stood still, Prime Minister Wen said: "Today, the saint only wants to know the truth, and don't show up here the things you come up with to fool people." ”
The four of them said in unison, "Yes." After glancing at each other, Xie Zhiyan, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, came out and said respectfully: "Follow the Prime Minister's order." The facts of this case are not complicated. It was caused by His Royal Highness the King of Wuyong County rushing to the mansion, causing the people of the two mansions to rebound and set fire. ”
Li Hun stared at him and scolded, "Say something fresh." "This old lady who has been asleep since the last dynasty is very energetic in the imperial study.
Xie Zhiyan was no stranger to the Taiwei, and he was not alarmed, and continued to say in an orderly manner: "Follow the Taiwei's order." After the investigation of the old officials in charge of criminal investigation in our department, a large amount of ashes after the burning of livestock oil was found at the scene. It is further inferred that the Great Fire in Kyoto was fueled by someone. It can even be said that even if the people of the two governments do not light the fire without authorization, someone will do it for them. ”
Emperor Zhaowu, who had been silent, spoke up: "Did the third and fourth children participate in this matter? That's what he cares about most. Even if his heart is bright, he still hopes that Xie Zhiyan can say to him: "No." ”
Looking at His Majesty's expectant eyes, and then looking at the prime minister with his spare eyes, seeing that his fingers tapped on his knees twice, Xie Shilang's face turned white all of a sudden, and he lowered his head and whispered: "This possibility cannot be ruled out." ”
Before the words fell, Qin Lei came out and said, "Father, the son has something to say." ”
Li Hun squinted at him and interjected: "The court should also talk about the first come, the first to come, the fifth highness will wait for Xiao Xie to finish speaking, and then it will not be too late." ”
Qin Lei said in his heart, and when he finished speaking, he would close the coffin. smiled and arched his hand to Li Hun and said, "Just say a word." Li Hun was silent.
Qin Lei said to Emperor Zhaowu again: "Father, on the day of the incident, the third brother was having a small gathering with his sons in Wanlilou, and the fourth brother also went out to visit friends. The eldest brother's attack was without warning, because they had no way of premeditating it. Even if someone from the palace set fire to it without permission, it would be impossible to set fire to all the inner and outer houses......"
The old lady was reluctant, and shouted: "You mean Qin Li set the fire?" ”
Qin Lei was silent, and Li Hun said angrily: "Why don't you speak!" ”
Qin Lei said with a bitter face: "You only allow Xiao Wang to say one word, for fear that if you talk too much, you will disobey the Taiwei." ”
Li Hun is also a fierce man, he is not angry but laughs: "It's the old man who forgot, then His Highness will shut up." ”
Qin Lei nodded, really returned to the train, and kept silent.
I only heard Li Hun say to Emperor Zhaowu: "Your Majesty, Qin Li is on the order of the old man to arrest the fugitives who forged the seal letter. It's not about robbing houses. I will never set fire to the house. There must have been a thief who framed him. ”
When Qin Lei heard this, he couldn't help but be a little envious of the boss, who had such a grandfather who protected calves. Thinking about his grandfather of the Shen family, who was cautious and afraid that the two sides would be too close, he couldn't help but feel depressed. Obviously he is very concerned about himself, why is he like a thief, Qin Lei can't figure out the reason.
At this time, Emperor Zhaowu muttered: "Planting? It's not out of the question. Qin Shouzhuo, what do you see? ”
Qin Fu Yin said with a solemn face: "What Your Majesty said is very true, and Weichen thinks that it is the most likely to be planted. ”
Wen Cheng, who was sitting on the right, stared at the righteous Qin Fuyin with a smile, and looked at the old soy sauce with a creepy look, and then said leisurely: "Then Lord Qin thinks who planted it?" ”
Qin Shou groaned slightly: "It is possible in several directions, and the lower official also asked Xiangye to help break through the fog." ”
Prime Minister Wen Cheng bowed his head and said: "It's really confusing, this matter can be pressed and not mentioned first." Then he said warmly to Zhou Shaoqing, who had been standing like a clay sculpture: "Wei Gong, you are familiar with the laws of Great Qin, see what responsibilities each of the three highnesses should receive?" ”
Zhou Weigong arched his hand and said: "Back to the prime minister, His Royal Highness entered the palace with troops, and committed the crime of trespassing on the palace and picking quarrels and provoking troubles. The three highnesses and the four highnesses committed the crime of lax discipline and arson to slaves, and according to the law, they should be given 20 rods and a fine of 2,000 taels. In addition, the loss of the Kyoto fire is about 14 million taels of official silver, which should be shared by the two highnesses. ”
Qin Lei saw that his Lao Tzu's face was not good, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Gu Wang Xi is a member of the right sect of the Zongren Mansion, and after the trial in the four halls, he will punish the royal relatives who committed the crime with reference to the conviction of the adults." Don't bother Lord Zhou. ”
Zhou Weigong looked at Prime Minister Wen with his spare eyes, and saw that his fingers knocked on his knees twice. He complained bitterly in his heart, but he didn't let go: "If the Zongren Mansion can compensate for several highnesses, it is not impossible to hand over this case to your mansion." Xiangye, what do you say? After all, he was still weak-hearted, and he had to pull the banner of his own lord.
Prime Minister Wen smiled and said, "Good." ”
Qin Lei didn't blink his eyes, and simply said, "Deal." ”
The room was shocked.
Since Uncle Qin came to this world, although he has never seen a tael of silver, he has bribed millions of taels. In addition, he still owes the Shen family more than three million taels, and of course, he thinks that it should be no problem for the dignified royal family to take out one or two million taels of silver.
Didn't a former sage say, "None of the problems in this world that can be solved with silver are problems"?
But when he saw Emperor Zhaowu's mournful appearance, he knew that something was wrong and wanted to change his words. How could Prime Minister Wen let him get his wish, and said quietly in front of Qin Lei: "There is no joke in front of you." His Royal Highness the King of Longjun is considered to have made a military order. Within three months, the Prime Minister wanted to see the money in the treasury. ”
Emperor Zhaowu's face changed, and he scolded Qin Lei in his heart for not knowing the severity, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Qin Lei's eyes widened, he looked at the prime minister innocently, and said in a stunned voice: "The lonely king just said his name, why didn't he say anything before becoming a king?" ”
The Prime Minister's face was stunned, as one of the people with the thickest skin in the world at that time, he actually had a feeling of admiration for Qin Lei's face thickness.
The old lady asked in a low voice while Qin Fu Yin said, "Is there anyone else with this name?" ”
Qin Shouzhuo said softly: "Cheng Chan is the younger brother of Qin Shi Huang. ”
Li Hun asked strangely, "Then what does Qin Xiaowu mean by mentioning this name?" ”
Qin Shouzhuo smiled bitterly in his heart, what is the point? Nonsense. I had to grit my teeth and explain to the captain: "Eight years after Qin Wangzheng ascended the throne, Cheng Chan rebelled and was killed. The Fifth Highness mentioned this person, probably hoping that the Prime Minister would not be too persecutive. After saying that, I had to wipe the sweat from my forehead with my sleeve.
Li Hun suddenly said 'ahh I don't know who is more treacherous with our Wen Xiangye. ”
