Chapter 664 Public Trial 1)

Kong Sheng walked slowly into the hall. Hunting.com

Song Ning took a deep breath, and bowed down with a reluctant smile: "Xiaguan Song Ning, I have seen the king of the county!" ”

Kong Sheng waved his hand: "Lord Song is exempt, I don't know if Lord Song came to this palace, can there be something important?" ”

Song Ning's heart twitched, and a wave of anger arose, but he immediately suppressed it. He fixed his mind and smiled even more reluctantly: "The county king, the lower officials heard that my family's unscrupulous son Song An was arrested by Shenlongwei for some reason, and he came to plead with the county king." I also asked the county king to open up and save a little face for the lower officials. In this way, Song is grateful, and in the future, our Song family should remember the kindness of the county king! ”

Kong Sheng smiled indifferently: "I know that Song An is Lord Song's nephew." But Lord Song knew that he gathered people to make trouble, discussed state affairs in vain, and publicly insulted the king in the Qinglin Pavilion, ignored the laws of the court, conspired against him, and committed a serious crime. This king can open the net, but the law of the country is like a furnace, and it cannot be forgiven. ”

The corners of Song Ning's mouth trembled, and he said with a smile: "King of the county, although this nephew of my family does not learn and has some nonsense, he is not strict with the discipline. But this is not Xiaozi and a few people who are good friends are just eating a flower wine in Qinglin Pavilion, how dare they be disrespectful to the king of the county? As for such a serious crime as rebellion, the lower officials can't afford to bear the guilt, and ask the county king to see the face of the official and show mercy to his subordinates."

"There are all human and material evidence, Lord Song, you can't deny it." Kong Sheng said indifferently.

Song Ning's anger swept up again, and he couldn't help but say: "King of the county, what is the trouble for you to add to the crime, although you are the king of the county, you can't arbitrarily inflict the crime on us!" This official is in charge of Jiangnan Yancao, and he does not dare to say that he is used to hard work, and he is also a minister to the imperial court. If the king of the county has to frame the Song family, Song will never sit still, Song will go to Beijing to sue the royal court, and the king of the county will set up an official office in Jiangnan, arrest and arrest people, and keep private soldiers in captivity for the crime of plotting misdeeds! ”

"Song Ning, whether you are used to working hard for the court, this king doesn't know. But I know that you are in charge of all things in Jiangnan Yancao, not only fattening a Song family, but also fattening many people in Jiangnan. ”

"It's not that I have to frame the Song family, but your Song family's squirt hit me on the muzzle, this king doesn't have to deliberately fabricate charges for him at all, just insulting this king is enough to cut off his head. However, this Wang will not vent his anger for himself, and he will be impartial and lawful. ”

"As for whether Lord Song entered Beijing to sue the emperor, please excuse me. However, it is a crime of contempt for the court to say that the king has set up an official office privately. If you dare to speak half a sentence again, don't blame this king for sending an order to Shenlongwei, take off your official hat, and put you in prison. ”

"Sending off!" Kong Sheng brushed his sleeves away.

Song Ning's face was pale, he sneered twice, and rushed away angrily.

The two broke up unhappily, Song Ning never dreamed that Kong Sheng would be so tough that he didn't leave any room for the Song family. It is clear that he wants to kill the monkey, but the Song family is not a big fat chicken to be slaughtered!

Song Ning left the Jiangning County Mansion with a bad face, and this scene naturally fell in the eyes of people with a heart. This means that Kong Sheng and Song Ning have completely fallen out and torn their faces, although Song An, the nephew of the Song family, is controlled by Shenlongwei, but speaking of which, there are still many people who don't think that Song Ning will be defeated because of this.

Song Bin saw that his father Song Ning's face was gloomy and watery, and he knew that he was suffocating at Kong Sheng's place, so he didn't dare to ask half a sentence. But the two got into the carriage together, and when the carriage was halfway through, Song Ning suddenly said coldly: "How many people are under Kong Sheng's command?" ”

"Back to my father, the so-called Jiangning Iron Cavalry Battalion is the 500 guards of the Junwang Mansion, and then there are more than 100 people from the Shenlong Wei Jiangnan Town, adding up to 600 people." A hint of wildness flashed in Song Bin's eyes, and he lowered his voice and said: "Father, this guy is too deceitful, our Song family can't sit still and wait for death-let him be charged with complicity, the consequences are unimaginable." Not as good as"

Song Ning's face was gloomy, and he said indifferently: "No, after all, he is the king of Chaotong's life, and he nominally orders the two provinces of Jiangnan, Shannan, and Nan, if we openly oppose him, it is tantamount to confronting the imperial court." We can't do this kind of thing. However, the Song family is not a person to be slaughtered, he wants to take our Song family under the knife, he is really blind to his dog eyes! ”

"Father, what about that? You can't just watch your eldest brother being questioned by him, right? Song Bin said in a deep voice.

Song Ning sneered, waved his hand, and made a vague gesture. Song Bin was stunned at first, and then became excited, his eyes flashing with a crazy luster.

In just two days.

The big businessmen from the states in the south of the Yangtze River came one after another and gathered in Jiangning City. Jiangning City was originally the political and economic center of Jiangnan, and it was not a daughter-in-law affair for businessmen to gather, but at this time, it was a little meaningful. As if they had made an appointment, these big businessmen came to the door in groups to pay homage to the king of Jiangning County, and each time they carried a large number of wealth and gifts.

For a time, Bajing Lane was boiling and the traffic was constantly blocking the path pipe Kong Sheng closed the door and disappeared, but he couldn't bear to rent some people who didn't get tired of it, and they came to the second time if they didn't see each other, and they came to the third time if they didn't see each other.

Countless businessmen and local gentry lingered at the gate of the county king's mansion, and it was extremely lively. Some couldn't see Kong Sheng, so they simply leaned in front of the house and didn't leave. Later, officials from various states and even figures like Liu Pingshan in Jiangning City also rushed to intercede for the Song family under the banner of asking to see Kong Sheng.

Kong Sheng didn't expect Song Ning to make such a move. This seems to be a "soft move" to show weakness, but in fact it is a demonstration and hint to Kong Sheng that the Song family has unparalleled influence in the official and business circles of Jiangnan, and if Kong Sheng insists on moving Song An, he will risk offending countless Jiangnan officials and businessmen.

And more importantly, almost overnight, all the witnesses detained by Shenlongwei - such as the old bustard of Qinglin Pavilion and the people of Guigong and others all retracted their confessions and changed their hexagrams, even if Luo Yong used punishment, they no longer agreed to testify against Song An. This made Luo Yong realize that the Song family's power in the south of the Yangtze River was indeed intolerable, and the black hands behind the scenes were waving wantonly, stirring up countless storms.

Rayong took a team of Shenlong Guards, separated the noisy crowd of merchants and gentry with a calm face, and entered the county king's mansion. Kong Sheng was dancing his sword in the back garden, and when he saw Luo Yong coming suddenly, he was slightly surprised.

As the leader of the Shenlongwei Jiangnan Zhenfu Division, unlike Wuxian Wuxie, the general of the county king's mansion, Luo Yong rarely enters and leaves the county king's mansion on weekdays, which is Kong Sheng's order and the rule of Shenlongwei. Although Shenlongwei is run by Kong Sheng, as a law enforcement agency, it must have corresponding independence to avoid criticism from the world.

Kong Sheng's deep gaze projected, Luo Yong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately bowed down and said respectfully: "King of the county, there will be something important to report at the end." ”

Kong Sheng sighed and said lightly: "Speak!" ”

"The king of the county, all the witnesses retracted their confessions, repeatedly claimed that Song An did not plot against the facts and insulted and attacked the king of the county, and refused to testify against Song An as a thief."

Kong Sheng's eyebrows raised sharply: "There is such a thing?" It seems that it was the king who wrote Song Ning, who manipulated the Jiangnan merchants and gentry to intercede and give gifts, blocked the king's mansion, and secretly retracted the confession of witnesses. Want to coerce Kong to make concessions? Huh"

Kong Sheng suddenly laughed.

Rayong was silent, not daring to speak. In this case, only Kong Sheng is self-determined, as a subordinate, all he can do is do as he is ordered, and that's it.

"Since the witnesses have all been retracted, it is not appropriate to detain them in the yamen, so let's release them and go home." Kong Sheng said lightly: "However, tell them that Shenlongwei is investigating Jiangnan and strictly enforcing the law, if they tell lies to Shenlongwei in the future and give false testimony, then they will be exiled for thousands of miles." ”

Luo Yong was taken aback, opened his mouth, and hesitated: "King Jun, do you want to use some heavy punishment?" These people will definitely not be able to bear it. As long as they confessed, Song An didn't have to run. ”

In Luo Yong's view, the main reason why Shenlongwei can openly detain Song An in prison is that he has a large number of witnesses to make this case an ironclad case, but without this batch of witnesses, even Shenlongwei cannot detain the people for no reason, and sooner or later Song An will be released, and the matter will be over.

As a law enforcement yamen, if Shenlongwei can't handle the case without flaws in Song An's affairs, he will inevitably be left with a mouthful.

Kong Shengyu: "That's it." This king is unwilling to let Shenlongwei leave a bad taro of torture officials in the minds of the people of Jiangnan. Moreover, the reason why these people retracted their confessions in tandem was nothing more than the manipulation of the Song family, forcibly making these confessions easy, but it would inevitably affect the innocent. Song Ning is scheming, he wants to ruin the reputation of this king, we can't fall into his trap. ”

A day later, Song An was released. But those gentlemen who followed Song An's side continued to be detained. Kong Sheng waved his hand, and his expression became extremely cold: "Send Shenlongwei to collect evidence of this group of prodigals and their families violating the law, Luo Yong, I will only give you three days, if you can't even do this little thing, there is no need for Shenlongwei to continue to exist in Jiangnan, it is better to withdraw to the capital, so as not to make the world laugh." ”

Luo Yong's heart was awe-inspiring, and he bowed down and bowed: "The last general obeys the order, please rest assured that the last general will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

An hour later.

The old bustard turtle prince and others in the Qinglin Pavilion were released by the Shenlong Guard, and the seized Qinglin Pavilion continued to open for business. The next morning, Song An was released by Shenlongwei. Song An walked out of the Yamen of Fusi in Shenlongwei Jiangnan Town proudly, and the servants sent by the Song family immediately followed Song Bin happily to greet him.

Crowds of onlookers blocked both sides of the road, and the crowd was full of voices.

Song Bin patted Song An's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Big brother, leave, don't stay!" ”

Song An looked up to the sky and laughed proudly, looked around arrogantly, and then swaggered into the Song family's carriage and left in a hurry. Some people noticed that the carriage of the Song family did not return to the Song Mansion, but went all the way out of the city and went straight to the Yamen of the Yancao Transit Envoy outside the city.
