Chapter 41: Interrogating the Toilet
The fence is a place to watch the trial, surrounded by a row of arm-thick wooden fences, and people who are watching the trial are not allowed to move around! However, because this case was heard by the official family in person, it was not a case of public trial, so there were no people watching the trial. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
All government affairs activities in the Great Song Dynasty were carried out in the name of the emperor. The emperor held the supreme judicial power, not only personally adjudicating major cases and initiating prison edicts, but also controlling and supervising judicial activities throughout the country. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that the emperor personally listened to the trial this time.
Li Xiang followed his father into the hall, only to see that the Dali Siqing seemed to have something wrong, because it stands to reason that such a high-ranking official should not be nervous when trying the case. However, Li Xiang didn't know, because Emperor Lizong was sitting next door, how could this Dali Siqing not be nervous, if he tried the wrong case, he was afraid that he would immediately lose his black yarn hat, and if it was serious, he might even be killed!
Seeing the three parties in the hall, they all seemed to have a calm expression, frowned, and felt that they did not respect the law of the country, so they immediately picked up the shocking wood and patted it, and shouted: "The four people in the hall, why don't you kneel when you see this official?" ”
Xu Xuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, naturally came to the horse first, so that the two sides of this class could be honest.
Liu Xuan and Song Liang knelt down according to their words, and Li Kang was about to kneel, but Li Xiang grabbed his father's arm and said to the chief judge in the hall: "We are not prisoners, why do we kneel?" ”
As soon as this remark came out, Xu Xuan was also a little stupid, above the lobby, it is true that only prisoners must kneel, and if they kneel, they will admit their guilt. When Li Xiang said this, it was clear that their father and son were not guilty.
Xu Xuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, smiled coldly and said, "Since you two think that you are not guilty, then there are people kneeling on the ground who are guilty?" ”
Li Xiang said indifferently: "Whether the person kneeling on the ground next to me is guilty or not, of course it is not my final say, but you will only know after the trial, my lord." “
"You...... You! Xu Xuan was speechless for a while, if it weren't for the official family who was secretly hearing the trial here, he would even have the urge to punish this young man. Now, though, he has to be calm, calm!
That Liu Xuan and Song Liang knelt on the ground, seeing that Li Xiang was so bold, that Dali Temple Qing Xu Xuan didn't do anything to them, this is really strange! For a moment, the two of them didn't know whether to continue kneeling or stand up. Doesn't continuing to kneel mean that the two of them are guilty people? But if they stood up, the two were afraid of being reprimanded by the presiding judge.
Li Kang didn't expect that his son would dare to refuse to kneel in the hall, let alone that Xu Xuan didn't do anything, and he didn't know whether this was good or bad.
Of course, Emperor Lizong, who was listening to the trial, was even more curious, this young man named Li Xiang always shocked him. It was already amazing to make the poem of lime chanting before, and now I heard that the flush toilet was designed by this young man, and now Emperor Lizong is 99% sure that Li Xiang is the original creator of the flush toilet, and the two kneeling on the ground are the plagiarists.
Xu Xuan said loudly: "The people under the hall are Li Kang, the supervisor of the internal department, Li Xiang, the father and son of the Guozi supervisor, Liu Xuan, the supervisor of the imperial internal jurisdiction, and Song Liang, the steward!" ”
The four of them all replied in unison, and then Xu Xuan said slowly: "Today's case is very important!" If there is a person who conceals it, he has committed a serious crime of defrauding the king, and the serious one can be sentenced to beheading, you can wait for it to be clear! ”
After speaking, Xu Xuan slapped the shocked wood again, and this beat seemed to be directly on the hearts of Liu Xuan and Song Liang, and the two of them were naturally frightened.
Li Kang and his son are not afraid, because they will not make up lies, so there is no need to be afraid.
Xu Xuan has also tried many cases, and after this inspection, he found that the two people kneeling on the ground seemed to have some changes in their faces, and the corners of one of their mouths twitched twice from time to time, and they already had a general judgment in their hearts, but if the case is tried, all conclusions must rely on evidence, and it is impossible to judge him guilty just because the person being tried has an unnatural complexion.
Xu Xuan said loudly: "The focus of this case is who created the flush toilet, so today this official will personally try the flush toilet, and let it personally admit who created it." Come on, go to the toilet! ”
At this time, whether it was Li Kang and his son, Liu Xuan, or the chief judge and deputy judge in the hall, including the officials, they could see that the two flush toilets were almost identical.
For Mao said that it is almost exactly the same, because the appearance is the same, but there is still a difference when you look closely, because Li Xiang's flush toilet has been repaired by a super 3D printer, so the surface looks unusually smooth and clean, without a single flaw.
And the cottage toilet made by Liu Xuan let his subordinates have a lot of open pieces, and the surface does not look like a whole, but is covered with cracks on the cyan glaze, which is formed by small cracks, different sizes, and different shades of crack color.
Although the celadon at this time was beautiful with ice cracking, it always made people look less comfortable when placed on the toilet used for urinating and defecating.
Liu Xuan and Song Liang saw that the flush toilet made by Li Kang and his son had no flaws, and they wondered in their hearts, how did they solve the problem of cracking? If it is said that there are many high-quality celadon tea cups fired before, then this toilet is still the first time to be fired, how can it eliminate the cracks all at once!
Xu Xuan's loud shout interrupted Liu Xuan's thoughts: "Listen to the toilet in the hall, who is Li Kui and who is Li Ghost between the two of you, don't hurry up and recruit from the truth!" ”
Hearing Xu Xuan really speak to the toilet, those officials all laughed secretly in their hearts, but they didn't dare to laugh, they just tried their best to hold back, and some even blushed.
Emperor Lizong, who heard the trial, almost laughed out loud, the way of this trial was the same as that of Bao Qingtian in the Great Song Dynasty, of course this toilet would not answer.
Li Xiang almost burst out laughing! But he was very curious, what kind of trial method did Xu Xuan, the Qing of Dali Temple, have!
Seeing that the two toilets did not answer, Xu Xuan said angrily: "Don't move the punishment, forgive you for not recruiting." Hit the forty boards with me! ”
Li Xiang hurriedly said: "Slow down, adult!" This toilet bowl is a fragile thing, and if you hit it with a large board, it will definitely break! ”
Xu Xuan's face sank and said: "In this case, that official has a way to make this toilet speak!" Didn't you both insist that you created the toilet yourself? Now the official will let you both dismantle your own toilets and install them in the hall! At that time, the toilet will naturally tell the official who is lying! ”
Li Xiang also understood Xu Xuan's intention at this time, it turned out that he was using this method! However, this method is not bad, then Liu Xuan and Song Liang are pampered, and they must not have tested it in person, so after the toilet is disassembled, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult for these two people to install it again. But it's hard not to ****!
