Chapter 111: First Trial

The jailer was dumbfounded as the three of them swaggered away, and a little jailer couldn't help but whisper, "Just let them go?" ”

"yes, there are so many prisoners to watch." The other jailer muttered as well.

"You two have the ability to keep them!" The leading jailer scolded angrily, he didn't have any eyesight, Bai had been messing with me for so many years, and he was uncomfortable with himself.

"Look at everything, go back and stay honestly!" The two who were being trained had no choice but to vent to the prisoners who were watching the excitement.

"Boss Xiong, take your people back! Are you going to make trouble? The jailer furrowed his brow and asked in a loud voice. He looked at the blind bear with dissatisfaction, and his eyes were full of blame - how did you do it, not only did you not punish Li Ce, but you actually made him make such a ridiculous thing.

"You go and report it." The leading jailer kicked the little jailer coldly and cursed.

"Yes, yes!" The jailer took the order and hurried out.

"Master Xiong, let's go back." A playful whisper.

The blind bear took a breath of cool air, turned around and walked back, he was intimidated by the momentum of Di Qing and Guan Zhen just now, master! Absolute masters! One is introverted, and the other is domineering! Not to mention anything else, just to see that these two people can effortlessly break open the prison door with both hands, it is enough to show that the two of them have worked hard under their hands, and they will never be able to do it themselves. And these two people seem to be listening to the white-faced boy very much, it's over, they are in trouble this time......

On the other side, the little jailer went to inform Xu Shan, Xu Shan was angry and hurried to scold the jailers, and after scolding, he was still angry, so he ordered someone to pull it down, and each of them beat 20 boards. These idiots have long been instructed not to act without permission, and now they have made a moth, what a bunch of rice buckets!

When Xu Shan came to play the report, He Ruinian was having breakfast, and when he heard the words, he immediately dropped the dishes and chopsticks, a group of straw bales! He immediately decided to interrogate Li Ce today.

He Ruinian's original intention was to lock up Li Ce for a few days, firstly, to kill his sharpness, and secondly, to torture him, not only on **, but also mentally, he just wanted him to be afraid all the time, the most devastating thing is not the moment of beheading, but the knife hangs over your head, which may fall at any time, and you don't know when it will fall, this is called blunt knife killing.

But now his wishful thinking was wrong, Li Ce not only did not suffer in prison, but also turned the prison upside down, He Ruinian finally ran out of patience, he just wanted to kill him immediately to vent his hatred! This kid is a loach, he can survive wherever he is placed, and he will inevitably have a lot of dreams at night, so it is better to solve it as soon as possible.

When Li Ce and the three of them were taken to the court of the Criminal Division, there were already many people in the court, and he took a look at the chief of the Criminal Division, Tang Jin, He Ruinian, He Fucun, Xu Shan, Wang Youcai, Sun Zhi and others were all there.

Because it was tried in the Mention Division, Tang Jin, the chief of the Mention Division, naturally became the presiding judge, and He Ruinian and others were only jurors and monitors.

The purpose of the Northern Song Dynasty was to supervise the local Xing Prison and redress unjust, false and wrongful cases, which was somewhat similar to the local Supreme Court in later generations.

Tang Jin is the criminal officer of Hebei West Road, he is about forty years old, born white and fat, with a short beard, every time he speaks, he can't help but touch it twice with his hand first, as if he is thoughtful.

Tang Jin first looked at He Ruinian sideways respectfully, and seeing that He Ruinian nodded slightly, he turned around and stroked his short beard, glared at Li Ce, and suddenly his face changed and he was shocked, and shouted: "Bold criminal, why don't you kneel when you see this official!" "The speed of the change in the face before and after is really jaw-dropping.

As soon as Li Ce saw Tang Jin's flattering appearance towards He Ruinian, he knew that the two of them were the same dog, and he didn't expect him to be able to preside over justice at the moment.

"Why do you kneel?" Li Ce raised his head and asked rhetorically. He has already made up his mind, since they interrogate him today, he must have made arrangements, he is already passive, he must not be led by the nose by them again, he dare not say that he wants to take the initiative, but at least to disrupt their arrangements, then the simple and effective way is to make a mess of nonsense first.

"Bold! If you dare to defy the court, I will go to the court, and the prisoner will go to court, and when you see the presiding judge, you must kneel down, and you look like a scholar, don't you even know this? Tang Jin is full of shelves, it seems that he is already familiar with this rhetoric.

"My lord, you just said that it is a prisoner who goes up to the court and kneels, and I am not a prisoner, why do I kneel?" Li Ce suddenly smiled, he grabbed the loophole in Tang Jin's words and asked rhetorically.

"Hmph, nonsense, if you weren't a prisoner, why would you be locked up here to mention the Prison Division?" Tang Jin was a little disdainful, the official has seen a lot of such things, boy, you play with me, and you are a little tender.

"He's the one who locked me up here." Li Ce suddenly pointed at He Ruinian and said loudly.

He Ruinian was angry and was about to have a seizure, but he sneered, endured it, and ignored him.

"Then you dare to say that you are not a prisoner? Aren't you contradicting yourself, boy? Tang Jin looked like he was stunned, waiting to see Li Celi exhausted.

"What does Lord Tang mean is that Lord He thinks I'm guilty, so he's locked me up here?" Li Ce didn't answer him, and asked deliberately.

Tang Jin sneered and said, "Of course, could it be that Lord He will wronged you?" "He's getting a little impatient.

"Of course I was wronged!" Li Ce said categorically.

"Bold! You have repeatedly disturbed the court, and you still do not kneel! Tang Jin was furious, this kid was messing around, and he couldn't reason with him.

"Wait! My lord, I have one last word. Li Ce suddenly raised his hand and said loudly.

"Humph!" Tang Jin snorted coldly and motioned for him to finish.

"Lord Tang, you have always been wise, I have long heard that you have always been iron-faced and selfless in presiding over the Xing Prison Division, only recognizing the law and not people, do you say yes, my lord?" Li Ce's face suddenly turned pale, and he said to Tang Jin with a serious and serious look.

"That's nature." Tang Jin subconsciously said, hearing Li Ce praise him, he was still a little complacent, and said in his heart: You kid now know that you are soft, and you know how to flatter your own official, but if you say two nice words, I will let you go?

"Okay, my lord is really wise!" Li Ce gave a thumbs up and deliberately praised loudly to the left and right.

Di Qing and Guan Zhen were a little confused by him, and the two looked at him with confusion, not knowing whether to nod or shake their heads.

"That's it, Lord He thinks I'm guilty, but the law hasn't recognized me guilty, so I'm not a prisoner yet, since I'm not a criminal, there's no need to kneel." Li Ce frowned, and deliberately made a helpless look, so that anyone who saw it couldn't help but smoke him.

Di Qing and Guan Zhen were stunned for a moment, and they all looked sideways at Li Ce, and secretly gave him a thumbs up, talent.

Tang Jin didn't react yet, what this kid was saying around and around, damn what he said, he scolded angrily: "Lord He said that you are guilty, you are guilty, and I will knock him down left and right!" ”

"Lord Tang, do you mean to say that Lord He is more powerful than the laws of the Great Song Dynasty? He said that whoever is guilty is guilty? Isn't Lord He the king's law? Li Ce saw that the left and right officials were going to come and get him. Busy asked loudly.

"You ......" Tang Jin was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at He Ruinian, He Ruinian's face was already gloomy and terrifying.

Tang Jin was in a cold sweat for a while, he was already angry when he saw Lord He like that, but what should he do now? If Li Ce was forced to kneel, wouldn't it be an admission that Lord He was arbitrary and arbitrary, and despised the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. But if you don't let him kneel, it is tantamount to admitting that he is right, wouldn't you be very embarrassed? Besides, this has never happened before.

Just when he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, He Ruinian finally couldn't help coughing twice, and said expressionlessly: "The trial is important, don't delay." "In fact, He Ruinian is just forbearing, he has long been angry with Tang Jin in his heart, this idiot has repeatedly entangled with Li Ce in such inconsequential matters, and he has also dragged himself in, and he has been a criminal officer for so many years, and he has lived to a dog!

Tang Jin got the instructions, wiped his cold sweat busily, and said hatefully: "Okay, this official won't bother with you for the time being." ”

"On the battlefield, you committed a crime and coerced the superior, what should you be guilty of?" Tang Jin asked sharply.

Li Ce wanted to rely on it, but there were so many people watching it at that time, and this was really unreliable, so he simply admitted it.

"At that time, the situation was urgent, Lord He did not give the order for a long time, and the humble post had to do this move out of helplessness, but the final result proved that the humble post was correct, our army won a complete victory, and confronted the Liao army head-on, and did not fall behind, which is uncommon." Li Ce argued.

"Hmph, no matter how clever your tongue is, you can't cover up your disobedience and disrespect, the following crimes, you actually kidnapped the envoy of the scriptures, who knows what your intentions are, I think it's more like a spy of the Liao army!" Tang Jin slapped the table and sneered, secretly proud in his heart. He has always been good at making things out of nothing, as long as you have the slightest flaw, I can magnify it for you a hundred times!

"If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, you can say whatever you want, you are so indiscriminately deducted from your humble position, I have nothing to say, what kind of trial will be tried in this way, the adult will directly open Chrysostom and convict me indiscriminately, isn't it over?" Li Ce deliberately mocked.

Tang Jin didn't bother with it, he smiled and said, "I knew you would say that, come here, bring someone to testify." ”

Li Ce panicked in his heart, it's not good, it must be Xu Shan's guy.

Sure enough, Xu Shan turned out from the side, he pointed at Li Ce and said loudly: "Li Ce, you don't have to quibble, you threatened Lord He's life at that time, and at least a dozen people present today can testify, you still want to deny it, hmph, the eldest husband dares to act, but he doesn't dare to admit it, and he still doesn't dare to admit it in this dead face." ”

Li Ce scolded in his heart: "Damn, you want Lao Tzu's life, and you don't allow Lao Tzu to struggle twice." He didn't have an idea at this time, after all, in front of everyone, he couldn't justify it anymore.

"Hmph, don't you have anything to say? Don't worry, this official not only has witnesses, but also physical evidence, come and present the murder weapon. Tang Jin became more and more proud, he liked to see the desperate appearance of the prisoner, the more scared the prisoner, the more excited he became, it was really a bit psychopathic.

A servant was holding a plate with a bronze dagger on it, which was Li Ce's dagger.

"What else do you have to say?" Tang Jin sneered and looked at Li Ce like a cat and mouse.

"My lord, my senior brother was really forced to do so at that time, my father's life was in danger, and Lord He refused to open the city gate, and we begged him for a long time, so we couldn't do it, so we ......" Guan Zhen was anxious and stepped forward to explain.

"Bold, did the official ask you? When is it your turn to speak in the courtroom! Before Guan Zhen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Jin's snort, and Guan Zhen had no choice but to retreat.

Guan Zhen and Di Qing glanced at each other, and the two turned their heads to look at Li Ce, hoping that he could defend a few more words, Li Ce smiled helplessly, the evidence was ironclad, even if he could say it again, it would be useless, besides, none of the people in charge today wanted to overturn the case for themselves, and they wanted to fool the past, it was difficult!
