In the lobby of Dali Temple, the case is being heard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After a series of verifications, reading out the holy decree, and then disarming the torture instruments from the prisoners, Zhou Weigong shook the file in his hand and asked, "How many officers and soldiers were in the Tiger Prison that day. ”

"Lord Hui, there are 30,000 tigers, 30,000 border troops, and more than 80,000 miscellaneous soldiers and civilians." Since they were arrested in Luoyang City, Huang Fuxian and Li Xun knew that there would be today, and their expressions were very calm.

"How high and thick is the wall of the Tiger Prison? What materials are used? Can the defending equipment be intact? Is there enough food and grass in the city? Zhou Weigong asked with a serious expression.

"The city wall to the east of the Tiger Prison Pass is six zhang high, five zhang wide at the bottom and three zhang wide at the top, all of which are bricks made of big bluestone, glutinous rice grouting, strong and abnormal." Huangfu replied fluently: "The equipment for defending the city is excellent and intact, and the grain and grass in the city can be used for half a year. ”

Zhou Weigong didn't speak yet, only heard a 'snap', and the high-ranking Taiwei Li slapped the case and shouted: "Since the soldiers are good enough to eat, and the city is high and the walls are thick, why don't you resist and give up the tiger prison?" ”

"Lord Taiwei asked knowingly." Li Xun snorted coldly and said: "At that time, I and General Huangfu had an urgent report, don't the princes of the court and the central government know?" ”

Wang Biyan also raised the waking wood, slapped the desk with a 'snap', and scolded in a deep voice: "Prisoner Li Xun, take care of your mouth, if you dare to defy the court, this official will be angry and open his mouth!" ”

It is true that he is a powerful leader in the imperial history, but Li Xun, the marshal of Rongma, is even more ruthless, and when he heard this, he said loudly: "Lord Wang, has the court convicted us?" ”

Wang Piyan's face was stunned when he heard this, so he had no choice but to say: "I have not been convicted." ”

"According to the laws of Great Qin, as long as we are not convicted, the two of us are still officials, and we cannot be tortured, we cannot be shackled, and we must be given seats." Li Xun spat and said, "Am I right, Lord Wang?" ”

"You are so sinful, and you are still so rebellious!" Wang Biyan was furious and said: "Come on, let's fight forty kills first!" ”

The third class of officials looked at the chief judge, they were all officials of Dali Temple, and they had to listen to their own adults. Zhou Weigong's face changed, and he arched his hand to Wang Biyan and said, "My lord, what the criminal official said is not unreasonable, so don't use torture." ”

"How can you be so ......" Wang Biyan said anxiously, but still held back the word 'cowardly'. After all, we have to maintain the majesty of the presiding judge, so what's the matter with infighting as soon as we come up?

"We need seats." Li Xun said inch by inch.

"Bring two stools." Zhou Weigong said with a gloomy face: "Let them sit down and talk back." ”

Wang Biyan angrily looked for help and said, "Lord Wei, what do you think? ”

Wei Zhengyi nodded slowly and said, "Just depend on Lord Zhou." ”

After the official moved two stools and asked the two prisoners to do it, Zhou Weigong continued: "You really have the urgent performance you sent to the imperial court here. As he spoke, he said with a solemn face: "But now the official is asking, and I ask the two of you to answer truthfully." ”

Huangfu nodded and said: "At that time, the Baisheng Gong of Qi led a large army to the city, and did not build a tool to attack the city, but pushed a person to the front of the city, saying that the person was ......" Saying that, he glanced at Zhou Weigong, only to hear him say lightly: "But it doesn't hurt to speak." ”

Then he looked down and said, "Who is that man...... I, His Majesty Emperor Zhaowu of Great Qin, the people of Qi take Your Majesty as a hostage, and this battle naturally cannot be fought. ”

"How do you know that person is His Majesty Zhaowu?" Zhou Weigong frowned and asked, "What if Yum Gong is looking for someone to pretend?" ”

"There will be no mistake in identity," Huang Fuxian shook his head and said, "The criminal official personally went down to verify, it is indeed my Majesty Emperor Zhaowu." ”

"How can we call the shots on such a big matter?" Li Xun on the side picked up the conversation and said: "On the one hand, I delayed the time, and on the other hand, I made an urgent report to the imperial court for eight hundred miles and asked for disposal measures. As for the intrigue in your court, you can't ask me, right?" I don't know. ”

"According to the official documents of the Cabinet." Zhou Weigong said solemnly: "Your report was delivered on the seventh day of October, and the imperial court responded in the fastest time, in order to protect the Jiangshan Sheji of Daqin, on the one hand, he served His Majesty Zhaowu as the emperor, and on the other hand, he asked the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother to support the crown prince as the emperor." And with 800 miles to expedite the Tiger Prison Pass, it can be seen that at this time, the lords of the court are not half responsible. ”

As he spoke, he patted the hall and said: "As long as you wait for one more day, the holy decree will be delivered, but you refuse to delay even a day in order to shirk your responsibility, do you dare to say that you are innocent?!" ”

"Lord Zhou, the offender didn't dare to agree." Li Xun sneered and said: "That day, Zhao Wuyi wanted to fry His Majesty Zhaowu in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and there were hundreds of thousands of people watching at the same time. If the monarch is fried, my Great Qin's dignity and national character will be destroyed in a blink of an eye! My Great Qin's courtiers should collectively cut themselves! As he spoke, he looked at the princes in the hall and asked loudly: "Dare to ask you, what would you do if it were to be replaced?" Can you turn a blind eye? ”

Everyone was speechless, there was no way to answer this, if we said that we would not be like you, wouldn't it seem too fatherless? If you say we're going to be like you, then we're going to be a......

Seeing that his colleague was questioned by the prisoner, Wei Zhengyi, who had been silent, said in a deep voice: "It's purely a strong argument, if there is really no explanation as you said, why didn't the same trick succeed under Tongguan City?" ”

"How can there be the same trick?" Li Xun waved his arm excitedly and said, "At the beginning, we promised to open the city gate, that is, let the Qi army return to Your Majesty!" As soon as the other party entered the Tiger Prison, he returned His Majesty! ”

"Ah......" Huang Fuxian couldn't help but be surprised: "But is there such a thing?" ”

"Alas, Lord Huangfu has no memory!" Li Xun said loudly: "Have you forgotten what he asked him to bring to Zhao Wuyi when we met with His Royal Highness the King of Yingjun at the head of the Tiger Prison City that day?" ”

After pondering for a while, Huang Fuxian nodded and said, "At that time, we said that the Qi State must release people before we can open the city gate. Shaking his head as he spoke, he said, "But the other party doesn't pay attention to it at all......"

"It's understandable that the people of Qi didn't agree at that time." Li Xun said in a rough voice: "After all, once Your Majesty is returned, what else can they threaten us?" As he spoke, he took out a white silk from his uniform and said, "But Zhao Wuyi has already printed it on black and white, are you still afraid that he will not regret it?" ”

"What black and white?" Everyone in the hall asked in unison, including Huang Fuxian, who didn't remember any agreements or anything like that.

"Take it and see for yourself." Li Xun threw the white silk to a servant beside him, and the servant hurriedly presented it to Zhou Weigong with both hands.

Zhou Weigong took the white silk and unfolded it to take a look, and sure enough, it was written conclusively: Zhao Wuyi, Marshal of Qi Baisheng, promised to return His Majesty Zhaowu and His Royal Highness to the Six Highnesses unharmed after entering the city. There is also a large seal and autograph of Zhao Wuji's marshal below.

"It turns out that they have already planned Ruosi...... 'Looking at the scarlet seal, Zhou Weigong couldn't help but feel cold all over his body, and handed the white silk to Wang Piyan beside him as if he had lost his soul.

The document was passed down among several adults, and everyone had different expressions...... Wei Zhengyi was thoughtful, Wang Biyan was full of anger, and Li Hun had an expression of 'I can't understand', and asked loudly: "Is this thing real?" ”

A sentence reminded Wang Biyan, and he patted the hall in surprise and said: "Lord Huangfu, you don't seem to know about the existence of such an agreement?" ”

"Back to my lord, the old man really doesn't know." Huang Fuxian shook his head and said, "From beginning to end of that day, I didn't see any agreement. ”

"I'm the main general, there are some things I don't need you to know." Li Xun interjected: "This is what I signed with the king of Yingjun that day, and the human and material evidence are all there, and you will know it when you ask and check it." ”

"Let's test it then." Wei Zhengyi opened his mouth and said: "There should be Zhao Wuyi's notes in the cabinet library, and the lower officials should go to it in person and ask Tian Ge Lao for permission to read them." ”

"Then there's Lord Lauwe." Zhou Weigong said with a striking shot, and said in a deep voice: "Take the suspect down, and separate the court for retrial at noon!" ”

When the hall reopened in the afternoon, Wei Zhengyi really took Zhao Wuyi's handwriting seal, and invited several of the best calligraphy and painting seal masters in the capital...... It is worthy of being born in the ministry, and thinking about problems is thoughtful.

Several connoisseurs studied the inkblot seals on the two documents for a long time, and finally an old man with a goatee respectfully reported: "The signature seals on the two documents are the same person. ”

Hearing this, Li Xun and Li Hun couldn't help but glance at each other secretly, and they could see a hint of joy in each other's eyes...... Of course, Huang Fuxian did not tell a lie, this thing was not signed at all when the Tiger Prison Pass, but when they were besieged in Luoyang, the Qi army shot at the head of the city at night.

That section of the city wall was precisely garrisoned by the soldiers of the border army, and after picking up the envelope, it was natural to hand it over to his own marshal. And after Li Xun saw that thing, he told his subordinates not to make a noise, and he didn't even tell Huang Fuxian...... But after being arrested, he was told to Li Hun!

Mr. Yin was keenly aware that this was a godsend, so he asked Li Hun to make a big move to steal the sky!

Li Hun was worried that the Qi people would send this thing, and he didn't have a good heart. But Yin Wuyi said resolutely: "The people of Qi must have returned Emperor Zhaowu, and now send Marshal Zhendong a supplementary agreement, just to help us succeed!" ”

"Why are they helping me?" Li Hun was not a fool, and immediately asked vigilantly.

"Naturally, I didn't have a good heart." Yin Wuyi sneered: "They hope that Qin's internal strife will be as chaotic as possible, and the weaker the better!" As for who is in power and who is emperor, what does it have to do with them? ”

"If we do what they want, won't we do what they want?" Li Hun always felt that his big things were important, but he couldn't let people be fools.

"Just take what you need." Yin Wuyi sneered: "The people of the Qi Kingdom want to use us, why can't we use them?" Saying that, he smiled and said: "Take advantage of the situation, Ming Gong, even if it is not for revenge, you have to think about the people of the world...... The only one who can reorganize the mountains and rivers of Daqin is our Li family! ”

After listening to Mr. Yin's words, Li Hun finally made up his mind, nodded fiercely, and said, "Just listen to you!" ”

This is the later right and wrong and bloody rain......

When those calligraphy and painting masters went down, the atmosphere in the lobby became weird......

In fact, everyone knows that as soon as this evidence is laid out, the matter will be completely over-if this agreement is really followed, then His Majesty Emperor Zhaowu should have been released, but why hasn't there been any movement so far?

Compared to this issue concerning the Jongmyo Temple, the conviction of the two convicts became insignificant.

Several presiding judges looked at each other with complicated expressions for a long time, and Wang Biyan said with a pale face: "This case can't be tried anymore, at least until a new holy decree is invited, it can't be tried again!" ”

"Why can't it be tried again?" Taiwei Li, who was in the first seat, said in a rough voice: "I feel that it is necessary to go on the trial!" Then he glared at Wang Piyan and said, "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of my Majesty Zhaowu?" ”

"Lord Taiwei, we are ordered to try the case of the loss of the Tiger Prison Pass." Wang Biyan stubbornly said: "As for what you said, it is not within our scope of authority, and it should be handled separately after the Ming Sheng. ”

"What do you two mean?" Li Hun lowered his eyelids, glanced at the other two and said, "Don't you want to track it down?" ”

Wei Zhengyi's face was entangled for a moment, and finally he said in a low voice: "The lower official thinks that this is a top priority at this time, and he should investigate it quickly......"

"Very good," Li Hun praised without yin or yang, and looked at Zhou Weigong again: "Weigong, what about you?" ”

Zhou Weigong's head was almost lowered to his chest, and the mosquito snorted: "Xiaguan and Lord Wei have the same meaning......

"You," Wang Biyan's expression changed suddenly, and he said with trembling lips, "How can this be? "In fact, Emperor Tianyou also talked to Wang Biyan and Wei Zhengyi, and instructed them to deal with Li Hun, who would have betrayed a pair of them in the next day, which caught Lord Wang, who was a hardcore 'princeling', really off guard?

But the side that advocates investigating now has an overwhelming advantage, so who cares what he thinks? Li Hun ordered directly to Zhou Weigong: "Lord Zhou, continue to ask about the case." As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xun with deep meaning and said, "Ask him where he hid His Majesty!" ”

"Yes," since he had made up his mind to be the opposite, Zhou Weigong was not so worried, and asked in a deep voice: "Prisoner Li Xun, since he has reached an agreement with Zhao Wuyi, he also signed and used the seal, and there is no reason to regret it." As he spoke, he patted the wooden hall and said, "But why haven't you seen any trace of the Emperor Taishang so far?!" ”

Li Xun shouted unjustly: "We were blocked in Luoyang City when we turned around, and we were not released until this year, how do you know what is going on outside?"

"So you don't know anything about His Majesty the Emperor's whereabouts?" Zhou Weigong asked in a low voice.

"It's not that I don't know everything." Li Xun said slowly: "It seems that those who catch the wind know something." ”

"Why don't you tell you what you know?" Zhou Weigong shouted: "Say it quickly! ”

"Okay, you also know that as soon as the siege of Luoyang City was lifted, Lord Huangfu and I were arrested by His Royal Highness Prince Wucheng, loaded into a prisoner car, and accompanied him back triumphantly." Li Xun said in a strange manner: "I have been walking together for more than a month, but I have found two strange things, and I have to talk to all of you." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and said: "First, I have heard some people talk about it, a few years ago, an old man and a young man defected to Tongguan City, and claimed to be Emperor Zhaowu and King Yingjun, but His Royal Highness Prince Wucheng suppressed this matter and did not allow anyone to talk about it. ”

"Where are those two now?" Wei Zhengyi asked with a nervous face. He belongs to the iron team of Emperor Zhaowu, the kind that is loyal to the foolish and loyal, and he really wants to rescue the Emperor Taishang, so he was easily bewitched by the Li family.

"Don't worry, listen to me after the second one." Li Xun's expression was terrifying: "In the team returning to Beijing, I have seen His Majesty Zhaowu and His Royal Highness the King of Yingjun with my own eyes!" ”

The room was in an uproar......
