Chapter 236: The Four Masters Hit a Wall (1)
"Fourth brother, you're here."
On the corner tower of Tiananmen Square, the melodious bell just rang to the seventh time, and the fourth master in neat court clothes had already strode out of the palace gate, while Hongqing was two steps behind, unhurriedly following behind, all the way speechlessly towards the yamen of the criminal department on the east side of the square. The voice greeted softly.
"The eighth brother has been waiting for a long time, and the brother has just gone to listen to the instructions of the emperor, so he came one step late, and asked the eighth brother and the princes to have a lot of Haihan."
The fourth master just met the saint, and made a generous statement, and the trial routine set up was approved by the old man, and he was in a good mood at this time, but he did not put on a cold face in the past, but returned the salute with a smile, but although the tone was peaceful, the self-satisfaction in his heart could not be concealed.
"The fourth brother is too humble, you are on an errand, and the younger brother should wait for more time, please!"
Although the eighth master has never been waiting to see the fourth master, but at this time he is under the eaves, but he has no choice, although he knows that the fourth master carried the old man out, but he is just pulling the tiger skin as a banner, but he can only endure it, politely turn to the side, and make a "please" gesture.
"Eighth brother, all the princes, please."
As for whether the case of Caishikou can be handled perfectly, the fourth master actually has no confidence in his heart, don't look at his talk freely in front of the old man, as if the odds are really in hand, in fact, his own affairs are clear - if this case can't win the support of the third master or the eighth master, it must be a pot sandwich raw rice, but no matter what, in terms of spirit, the fourth master will never show timidity, and he is not more polite, just waved his hand, and he has already walked towards the yamen proudly.
"The little nephew has given a salute to the eighth, ninth, and tenth uncles."
The fourth master is the chief judge and the elder brother, he doesn't have to pay too much attention to etiquette, but Hongqing can't be rude, the fourth master sang a big drama before, he could only stand aside and watch first, but now that the fourth master has left, Hongqing can't turn a blind eye to the eighth and others, so he took a step forward and politely bowed to say hello.
"Qing'er is here, so please join in."
For Hongqing such a demonic boy, the eighth master never dared to despise it, of course, the importance is valued, but the feelings in his heart are another thing - at this time, when he saw Hongqing was very polite, the eighth master not only did not feel half a point of respect, but his heart was inexplicably a little blocked, no side, because the criminal department and his eighth master fell into the current predicament, it was completely a good thing that Hongqing did, if possible, the eighth master really wanted to take a knife to cut the master in front of him, but unfortunately he wanted to think about it, It's impossible to do this, not only that, but you have to make a very kind appearance, which really makes the eighth master feel tired enough.
"Eighth Uncle, please!"
Although the smile on the eighth master's face was kind, the light that flashed in his eyes was obviously not so friendly, although this light was only a flash, but how could he hide Hongqing's observation, but Hongqing didn't care about what the eighth master and the others felt in their hearts, and he didn't say much, and he didn't even pay attention to the gritted teeth of the tenth master on the side, and after greeting according to the rules, he raised his feet and walked into the yamen.
"Phew, bad luck, what the hell ......"
Early in the morning, he was dragged by the eighth master to the door of the criminal department to wait for the fourth master and Hongqing, the two chief and deputy chief judges, and the old ten was already holding back his anger, and now he saw that the fourth master and Hongqing were both high-profile styles, and the anger in his heart was a little uncontrollable, and he cursed in a low voice with a blue face.
"Tenth brother, go, talk inside!"
Today is the first trial of the Caishikou case, the stakes are very important, this time I saw that the tenth master was rough and committed again, although the eighth master did not open his mouth to reprimand, but the eyes of the sweeper were full of fierceness, and the old face of the tenth master instantly turned red, and the words of scolding the mother stopped halfway, but the unwillingness in his heart was difficult to eliminate, and his face was blue and red for a while, and the ninth master saw this, lest the tenth master make a big move again, so he had to quickly reach out and pull the sleeve of the tenth master, and whispered.
"Hmm."
Seeing that the eighth master moved the real fire, the tenth master didn't dare to be more presumptuous, and with the steps handed over by the ninth master, he didn't talk any more, and the urn responded angrily, and followed behind the eighth master step by step.
After all, the lobby of the criminal department is dedicated to the trial of cases, and the area is not small, compared to the lobby of the rest of the departments, it is twice as large, but there are too many people who are qualified to sit down this time, not only the fourth master and Hongqing of the main and deputy judges are here, but the eighth master, the ninth master, and the tenth master also have to give a seat, as for Li Guangdi, the secretary of the criminal department, he is high and powerful, of course, he must also have a seat, and the left and right waiters are also dignified members from the second grade, and they have to have a seat, although it is only the last seat, and they have to be so neat, The huge hall was occupied by most of the people, and the seats were next to each other, not like a trial, but like a tea party, there were many people in the hall, and it couldn't help but feel a little funny, the fourth master was obviously not very satisfied with this, but there was no way, after all, it was either a brother or a member of the court, and it was definitely not that his fourth master could drive out.
"Huang Ama has a will!"
The fourth master is a very deep person in the city, although he was extremely dissatisfied with the layout in the lobby, he didn't say much, just frowned slightly, shook his hand and took out a yellow silk masked holy decree from the wide sleeves, and raised it high above his head with a shout.
"Puff ......"
As soon as the holy decree appeared, even if he knew that the fourth master's move was to pull the tiger's skin as a banner, everyone had nothing to do with him, so they could only get up in a mess, and they all gathered in the hall, and honestly knelt on the ground.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said......"
The reason why the fourth master moved out of the holy decree at this time was to use it to subdue all the people present, naturally he didn't care about what everyone felt in their hearts, but seeing that his face looked around solemnly at the people kneeling in the hall, and then procrastinated and procrastinated the holy decree, the speed of speech was obviously slow, and the short holy decree was announced by the fourth master melodiously, and he could hear that the people under him were full of crookedness.
"Ministers, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
There can be endless dissatisfaction with the fourth master, but no one dares to have the slightest disobedience to the holy decree, although he knows that the fourth master's motive is not pure, but everyone really has nothing to say except for thanking him for the decree, and he can't help but be severely pressed by the fourth master.
"Okay, since all the princes of the Emperor's will are known, and Benbel will not talk about it anymore, then please sit down, and today's interrogation will begin, come, bring people to the prisoner!"
Although the fourth master has been repeatedly defeated over the years, he has hardly done an errand, whether it is the rectification of the flag affairs or the settlement of the arrears of the household, it can only be described by the word fiasco, but it does not mean that the courage of the fourth master will become smaller because of this, on the contrary, so many defeats, the fourth master has been sharpened out, at least in the grasp of the timing, it is quite a cardinal, no, without waiting for everyone to sit down, the fourth master has already raised the posture of the chief judge, picked up the shocking wood, slapped it heavily, and broke his throat loudly.
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
The fourth master gave such an order, whether they were willing or not, all the officials of the criminal department listed in the hall had to hurriedly call out Wei, and at this time, the eighth master and others were still walking to their respective seats, and they had to speed up their pace, they were really a little embarrassed, but they were helpless, and they could only swallow the fourth master's naked/naked/naked dismount without a word.
"Get on your knees!"
Before the sound of Huwei fell, the two guards on the Fourth Master's Mansion had already carried Lu Kunpeng, who was wearing shackles, and Lu Kunpeng came down from the hall, and without waiting for Lu Kunpeng to make a move, he had already kicked each of them and kicked heavily at the crook of Lu Kunpeng's feet, kicking him to the ground, and his forehead hit the ground heavily, and the blood instantly gushed out wildly, dripping down his cheeks and falling to the ground.
"Who's kneeling?"
The fourth master ignored Lu Kunpeng's screams at all, picked up the shocking wood, slapped it again, and broke his throat with a tone of voice.
"Criminal, criminal official deer, Lu Kunpeng."
Lu Kunpeng's shackles have not been removed, and the white prison uniform is stained with blood, not only the blood stains dripping from his forehead before, but also the blood stains that have already turned dark brown, it is obvious that he has been tortured yesterday, just a day's work, the original face is haggard, and the arrogance of the past has long disappeared.
"Bold Lu Kunpeng, as an official of the imperial court, does not want to repay the emperor's kindness, but dares to do tricks and feet in the autumn duel, disregarding human life, it is already a heinous crime, if you don't recruit it from the truth, it will be a disaster to the nine clans, say, why did you do such a rebellious act, huh?"
The fourth master seems to be very well prepared, although he has never tried the case, it is feasible to start a matter, but he can see the majesty of the chief judge, but seeing that he was shocked again, a series of high-pressure words have been broken out like a cannon.
"The offender is wronged, the offender is wronged, everything the offender does is done according to the rules, even if there is a mistake, it is not what the offender wants, the offender is wronged......"
As soon as the fourth master's voice fell, Lu Kunpeng was already Huo Ran raised his head and shouted Qu again and again, but there seemed to be an intriguing meaning between the words.
