Chapter 112: Noble Rescue
"Hmph, there's nothing to say, right? People like you, this official has seen a lot, since you have nothing to say, then draw a charge. After Tang Jin finished speaking, he snorted coldly and looked at Li Ce with disdain, he liked to see the moment the prisoner was sentenced, the panic and helplessness of the prisoner made him feel an inexplicable pleasure.
A servant stepped forward with a confession that had already been written. Li Ce looked at it, and it said "...... On the invasion of the Liao people, they coerced Shangguan, forcibly opened the city gate, almost wanted the city to be broken, and the heart of the enemy was clearly revealed...... "The hat buttoned on himself turned out to be a defection, collusion and rebellion, and a groove!" This crime is too big, this is to punish the Nine Clans, damn, I am a small commander, you say I rebelled? What!
Di Qing also frowned after seeing this, and he secretly shook his head at Li Ce, signaling that he couldn't draw a charge.
Li Ce's coercion of He Ruinian, in fact, it is not only He Ruinian, but no one can tolerate it, after all, it is really an extremely humiliating thing to be held by a subordinate with a knife to his neck in front of so many people, and in this regard, he also broke the record, so he strictly blocked the news on this matter and strictly forbade anyone to leak it.
Especially a feudal official like the envoy of the Jing Strategy, he is like the emperor of the soil on the West Road of Hebei, but the emperor of the soil was actually humiliated by a small soldier, think about what is more humiliating than this? No. Therefore, the crime he convicted Li Ce was to instigate the soldiers to mutiny and intend to rebel, and the nine clans should be punished for the crime!
In fact, He Ruinian has been restrained, how can he tolerate Li Ce so far with his character of retribution, the reason why this is so is because he knows that Li Ce is behind Chen Yaozuo, and the Chen family plays a pivotal role in the court, if he rashly kills Li Ce, Old Man Chen will definitely settle accounts with himself in the future, so he must Li Ce admit it himself and sign it. In this way, when Old Man Chen asked, there was a public case as evidence, and he couldn't say that he couldn't, and besides, he was charged with rebellion, even if he Chen Yaozuo wanted to take care of it, he had to think about it first.
Of course, Li Ce knew that he couldn't draw a charge, and if he drew a charge, it would be nine deaths and nine lives, and no one could save himself. I don't know if this Da Song has any provisions that can be appealed if he is dissatisfied, regardless of whether he has it or not, and it is better to make trouble with him than to wait for death.
"I don't plead guilty, you are slandering, I want to appeal!" Li Ce shouted at Tang Jin.
Tang Jin was furious, and said in shock: "Don't be unreasonable, quickly draw and confess." ”
At the thought of beheading, the feeling of the last execution scene seemed to be vivid, and Li Ce couldn't help but feel a spirit, and he didn't want to draw a prison to live or die.
He Ruinian made a look, Tang Jin understood, he showed a cruel smile and scolded: "The prisoner does not cooperate with the trial, come here, and the punishment will be served." "As long as he draws the charge, it doesn't matter if he is willing or not.
"You!" When the three of them saw Tang Jin and He Ruinian's arrogant appearance, they all held their stomachs, and Li Ce had even made up his mind that if the matter was irreparable, as soon as he died, he would be beaten out of Xing Prison Division and exiled to the end of the world, which was better than being beheaded.
The three of them made eye contact, Di Qing and Guan Zhen also nodded, and were about to make a move, but they saw a soldier running in quickly, and then said something in He Ruinian's ear.
When He Ruinian heard this, his face changed instantly, and he showed a look of annoyance, and his old face became extremely ugly. He cursed something in a whisper, slapped the table and hurried out, without even saying hello.
It's just that as soon as he got up, he heard a sharp voice say: "Lord He is really busy with official affairs, and the miscellaneous family has been waiting for you for two hours!" Then he saw a man walk in.
He Ruinian's face flushed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said urgently: "Father-in-law Yan is not strange, this official also heard that something happened to the Criminal Prison Department this morning, so he hurried here, and he was in a hurry, and he forgot the letter delivered by the post station yesterday. He smiled a little embarrassedly.
Li Ce was stunned, who else was Ruinian afraid of? He took a look at it, and the person who came was about fifty, thin and sallow, but his spirit was extremely strong, a pair of eyes were bright and introverted, and he had a temperament that was not angry and self-threatening.
Listening to He Ruinian call him Gonggong Yan, and then looking at the clothes he wore, they are somewhat similar to He Jianjun's, but he is dressed in dark red satin, and it seems that his grade is higher than He Jianjun.
The name of the person who came was Yan Wenying, and he was a former eunuch in the palace.
The Inner Servant Province of the Northern Song Dynasty is divided into the Southern Class and the Northern Division, the eunuchs of the Northern Division mainly serve the emperor and the harem, so their status is higher than that of the Southern Division, and the highest official rank in the Northern Division is the East and West Worship Officials, it can be said that the entire Inner Serving Province is decided by these two worship officials, and Yan Wenying is the West Worship Officer. No wonder He Ruinian is so respectful to him, this person is in charge of the Inner Servant Province, and he can be called the head of the Inner Palace.
He came to announce the decree this time, but in fact, he had already arrived at the post station last night, and because it was too late, he did not go to Jinglufu, but sent someone to deliver the letter. Unexpectedly, he waited for two hours in Jingluo Mansion this morning, but he didn't wait for He Ruinian, and he couldn't ask the family and the people couldn't ask why, and finally heard that it seemed to be coming to the Criminal Prison Division, Yan Wenying was annoyed by He Ruinian's slow treatment, and decided to meet him in person.
He Ruinian made a bitter face and secretly looked at Gonggong Yan, only to see him raising his head and gloomy face, looking like he was still angry. He Ruinian secretly gestured to Xu Shan, Xu Shan understood, and left in a hurry.
The generals who are far away at the border pass are most afraid of the envoys from Beijing, these envoys not only come to convey their will, but also observe the situation at the border pass, and go back to report to the emperor. Therefore, once the envoy arrives at a certain place, the local governor will try his best to welcome him, not only with good wine and food, but also with a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, so that the envoy can return and say more good words for himself.
Yan Wenying has been doing this errand for more than 20 years, and since he came to the place, the magistrates have always provided for him like an ancestor, and he has always waited for others, and he has never waited for others. Moreover, he is the person of the Queen Mother, He Ruinian is the person of the Prime Minister Ding Wei, and the Empress Dowager Liu has been dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's arbitrariness in recent years, and the two factions have secretly competed, Yan Wen has no good impression of He Ruinian, so he wants to use this to beat him.
He Ruinian also understands this truth, and he said that he is the prime minister Ding Wei, and when he sees Yan Wenying, he will sell him more or less face, and he must not offend him, in case he annoys him, he is afraid that he will complain to the Empress Dowager Liu when he goes back.
He Ruinian came together like this, Tang Jin and the others naturally didn't dare to sit down, especially the He Jian Jun, who was even more worried when he saw Yan Wenying, and seemed to be extremely afraid of him. Everyone just stood with him, and they all looked at He Ruinian, waiting for his instructions.
When He Ruinian saw this embarrassing situation, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile and said: "Father-in-law, please sit down for a while, when I finish dealing with this official business, I should ask my father-in-law for guilt, in addition, today I got a pair of Wu Daozi's calligraphy and paintings, and I want to ask my father-in-law to appreciate it later." He Rui said quietly,
Gonggong Yan had always kept a straight face, but after hearing Wu Daozi's calligraphy and paintings, his face changed slightly, and he snorted noncommittally, He Ruinian was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to lead him aside and sit down.
Everyone sat down again, but Li Ce moved his brain, seeing that He Ruinian and this Yan Gonggong don't seem to deal with each other, if they can sow discord between the two, He Ruinian is a big one, and his side may be temporarily put aside.
He Ruinian glanced at Li Ce, and was even more annoyed with him, it was this kid who ruined his fortune, if it weren't for him, how could he forget it. That pair of Wu Daozi's calligraphy and paintings, but it's hard to find! I haven't liked it enough, but I want to give it to others, it's really annoying!
"Bold criminal, why don't you draw a detention?!" Tang Jin got He Ruinian's instructions, slapped the shock, and asked loudly again.
Li Ce was taken aback by him and scolded secretly: Your uncle, scared Lao Tzu to death.
"My lord, this confession is a crime of treason! Dare to ask you, have there been small commanders in the past dynasties who rebelled? If it were you, in the face of an army of tens of thousands, would you lead five hundred people to rebel? After talking about it, if I want to rebel, why do I suddenly stop and let go of that person. Li Ce glanced at He Ruinian and sneered, and sneered.
He Ruinian heard him mention his ugly things, his face turned red, he stood up and pointed at Li Ce, and said angrily: "Little bastard, don't think that this official doesn't dare to do anything to you, you have to paint today, if you don't paint, you have to paint!" Come, give me a great punishment! "He Ruinian finally ran out of patience, he couldn't fold his face in front of Gonggong Yan today, and dealt with this kid first.
Gonggong Yan seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, picked up the teacup on the table, shook his head gently, and blew hot air.
Damn, this is trying to bend into a trick, Li Ce shouted: "He Ruinian, if you bend into a trick today, his family teacher will definitely overturn the case for me when he learns about it, I'm afraid that even the prime minister won't be able to protect you at that time!" "There's no way to delay it for a while, so I can only bring out Chen Yaozuo to scare and scare him.
He Ruinian saw that he finally showed fear, and his heart was very happy, "Hmph, even if Chen Yaozuo's old man knows about it in the future, what can you do, you can still come back from the dead, haha......" He couldn't help but laugh coldly.
Tang Jin is the chief judge, he has some mistakes and rarely looks at He Ruinian, Li Ce moved out of Chen Yaozuo, Chen Yaozuo will be investigated in the future, and he, the chief judge, will bear the brunt.
"What are you doing?! Clamp the stick! Xu Shan stood aside and scolded at a group of officials, he had been humiliated by Li Ce many times, and today he finally had a chance to take revenge.
"Wait!" Gonggong Yan, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke, his face changed, he put down the teacup, walked to Li Ce with a cold face, looked at him carefully, and said suspiciously: "You are Li Ce?" ”
Li Ce was stunned for a moment, and nodded hesitantly, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the old eunuch's gourd.
"This person, you can't kill it!" After receiving Li Ce's reply, Gonggong Yan suddenly turned around and said briefly, with an indescribable majesty in his voice.
"Father-in-law Yan, you don't know, this person is really bold, and his sin is unforgivable!" He Ruinian was in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, Could it be that this old guy wants to protect this kid?
"What has happened, and let's hear about it." Gonggong Yan waved his old hand and asked in front of Li Ce.
Li Ce was overjoyed, it was really heaven that I would not die, and there were nobles to help him at the critical moment, and at this time, he looked at the grandfather of Yan again, and he only felt indescribably cordial.
"Father-in-law Yan, why are you ......" He Ruinian was a little puzzled, why did this old thing suddenly ask about this because he was not related to Li Ce.
Gonggong Yan looked directly at He Ruinian, waiting for him to tell what happened, but he didn't intend to answer He Ruinian's questions.
He Ruinian was helpless, so he had to say 1510.
