Chapter 227: Making a Disturbance at the Execution Ground (4)
Li Guangdi's words don't seem to be very faulty at first glance, and in terms of law, it is also logical, after all, the matter of the autumn decision is the responsibility of the Criminal Department, since Hongqing doubts that there is something strange in it, according to the law, it should be reviewed by the Criminal Department, but if it is really done according to what Li Guang said, then it is difficult to say what will happen later, not to mention killing people and destroying mouths, it is enough to fall back the original bag, which is enough to make the third master and others blind, it is not easy to refute it legally.
"What does Qing'er think?"
The third master's identity is respected, so it is naturally difficult to entangle with Li Guangdi in public, and it is not easy to directly answer Li Guangdi's proposal, but it does not prevent the third master from pushing the trouble to Hongqing.
"Back to his father's words, the child thinks that Lord Li's proposal is very inappropriate, and now, the criminal department involved in the case must avoid suspicion, even if it is to be tried, it must be judged by the Holy Court of the Emperor, therefore, the child thinks that all the death row prisoners should be detained first, and immediately enter the palace to understand the Emperor Law, so as to ensure that there is no danger!"
Hongqing was very shrewd, how could he not see through Li Guangdi's dark intentions, he had no scruples at all, and directly raised objections.
"Well, what Wu'er said is very true, so it's okay to settle it like this."
What Hongqing said was what the third master thought, but such words, the third master himself was not easy to say, and now with Hongqing's cannon, the third master was naturally happy to be good, and he didn't ask Li Guangdi and Lu Kunpeng for their opinions, so he made a decision without saying anything.
"Lord Wang, you are a mess, please forgive the officials for not agreeing!"
As soon as the third master's words came out, Li Guangdi couldn't help but be a little anxious, but he also had scruples, and he didn't want to conflict with the third master in public, so he quickly gave Lu Kunpeng a look, and immediately saw Lu Kunpeng come out with a look of indignation.
"Huh?"
Li Guangdi is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the third master has to save face for him, but for such a small role as Lu Kunpeng, the third master has no scruples at all, and when he saw that he dared to jump out against his decision, the third master's face immediately became gloomy, but he did not go crazy, but glanced at Lu Kunpeng coldly, and snorted coldly with disdain.
"Lu Langzhong, how did you talk to the prince, An dare to be so respectful and inferior, and you still don't retreat!"
What Li Guangdi wants is that Lu Kunpeng is like this, the reason, naturally it is like the third master speaking through Hongqing's mouth, but he has no intention of sacrificing Lu Kunpeng, this time seeing that the third master's cold eyes have a murderous aura flowing, he refused to sit back and watch Lu Kunpeng be taken down by the third master, so he stood up from the side and pretended to drink Lu Kunpeng.
"Wow!"
Lu Kunpeng's original intention was just to cover for Li Guangdi, if he really worked hard with the third master, no matter whether he was reasonable or not, he would definitely not have his good fruit to eat, this point, Lu Kunpeng would not be unclear, because of this, as soon as Li Guangdi spoke, he immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, responded respectfully, lowered his head and retreated to the side, stunned not to give the third master another chance to go crazy.
"Humph!"
As soon as Lu Kunpeng retreated like this, the third master couldn't hold on to him, after all, the identity of the prince and elder brother was there, and it was obviously not a matter to deal with a small official of the first and fifth grades.
"The prince is angry, at this time, the two make their own words, it is really difficult to distinguish the truth from the false at this time, and now the people are gathered, but it is not the place to handle the case, according to the law, this case must be retried, the little prince suspects that there is something strange in my criminal department, then it is a matter of course that my criminal department does not interfere, however, the little prince is the first person to accuse, and the prince is afraid that he is also among the evasions, and they are all deadlocked here, why don't they take a step back, and first escort the prisoners to the Yamen of the Nine Gates?"
Li Guangdi made up his mind and refused to hand over these death row prisoners to the third master's father and son, and with Lu Kunpeng's interference, he also had a reason to oppose the third master's proposal, so he made a counter-proposal from the public's heart.
"It's not proper, this case is very important, if there is no holy will, no one can dispose of it at will, it is not far from the imperial city to the left and right, and I also ask Lord Li to go with Ben Baylor to meet the driver, everything is subject to the holy judgment!"
Li Guangdi's proposal can't be said to be inappropriate, but there is still an ambush inside-if Hongqing's father and son leave, God knows what will happen later, how can Hongqing, a shrewd individual, be fooled by Li Guangdi's small calculations, and without waiting for the third master to speak, he has already unceremoniously replied.
"Well, Qing'er is very true, there is this king here, and there is no loss, so I will bother Lord Li to make a hard trip, and I will go with my son to face the saint."
The third master was sharpening his knife and Huo Huo wanted to cut people this time, so naturally it was impossible for Li Guangdi to lead him by the nose, so he did not hesitate to speak out in support of Hongqing's opinion, and gave the order without saying anything.
"No need!"
Rao is Li Guangdi is slippery, forced by Hongqing's father and son, but he is also out of line, he has been silent for a long time, and he has not been able to find any excuse to shirk, but he wants him to go to face Hongqing like this, but he is unwilling, and when he is racking his brains to urgently plan a countermeasure, Leng Buding heard a majestic voice in the crowd of onlookers, and then saw a commotion in the crowd on the left side of the execution ground, and the burly Delentai and Liu Tiecheng were already guarding the old man in civilian clothes left and right.
I'll go for it, the old man really hid aside, ha, this time it's fun!
The old man came out so proudly, whether it was Li Guangdi or the third master, they were all stunned on the spot, but Hongqing was ecstatic, but he didn't bring it to his face, but hurriedly rushed forward, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said with trepidation: "Grandson knocks on Huang Mafa!" ”
"Erchen knocks to see Huang Ama!"
"The old minister knocks to see Your Majesty!"
"Knock on Your Majesty!"
……
As soon as Hongqing knelt like this, the third master and Li Guangdi immediately woke up, and they hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, and at the same time, both the palace guards and the soldiers of the criminal department knelt down in unison, and the tens of thousands of onlookers saw this, and they didn't dare to stand still anymore, and they all knelt on the ground.
"What's your name?"
The old man ignored everyone's kneeling, slowly walked to the front of "Sun Miao", bowed slightly, and asked in a calm voice.
"Grass, grass people, Fifth Brother Zhang."
Hearing the old man's question, the death row prisoner who had always kept his head down finally raised his head for the first time, his eyes flickered a few times, and then two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks, and the corners of his mouth twitched and made a hoarse sound.
"Fifth Brother Zhang? Well, okay, I remember, come, don't cry, talk to me, why do you want to die for others? ”
The old man nodded kindly, and after comforting Fifth Brother Zhang, he smiled and asked again.
"Your Majesty, the grass people are poor, and the old mother has no support, and is framed by someone so that he is in prison, it takes four years to see the day, I am afraid that the old mother has no one to support, and has to die for others, in exchange for a hundred taels of silver, for the old mother's old age, the grass people know that they are guilty, and they dare not ask the emperor for mercy, only ask the emperor to be sympathetic to the grass people, and give the grass people a way of life, the grass people are willing to be cattle and horses in the next life, and repay the emperor's grace, the grass people beg you!"
Listening to the old man's gentle words, Fifth Brother Zhang couldn't hold back the grievances in his heart anymore, and cried loudly, crying while babbling the truth.
"It's rare for you to have such filial piety, how can I not add to the whole, Delentai, let him go."
The old man was obviously moved by Fifth Brother Zhang's filial piety, there was a faint wave of light flashing in the corners of his eyes, and after sighing, he waved his hand and made a will.
"Wow!"
Delentai Urn responded angrily, and walked over, without using a knife, just stretched out his hand, and pulled the rope that bound Zhang Wuge as soon as he pulled it, and the thick hemp rope was torn into two sections like twisting grass.
"Huang Ma Fa Shengming, the grandson saw that this person had very positive eyes before, and he was not a bully of men and women, but he was a little unsure, or Huang Ma Fa had sharp eyes like a knife, and he knew the truth at a glance, and his grandson was 120,000 inches."
When the old man asked Fifth Brother Zhang, he was kind and pleasant, but when he turned around and faced the third master and the others, his face was full of frost, and as soon as the power came out, not to mention that Li Guangdi and the others from the criminal department were waiting, even the third master also changed his face, but Hongqing was still full of ease, and slapped the old man fiercely.
"Little slippery head, I'll settle accounts with you when I turn around, do something on my knees, and don't roll out of the future."
Hongqing's sycophant is actually not very clever, but at this time, the old man is very used, and his tense face is a little unbearable, so he glanced at Hongqing angrily, and scolded with a smile.
"Thank Emperor Mafaronen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Don't look at Hongqing's self-statement that he found a flaw just now, but in fact, he knew in his heart that this kind of statement was categorically hidden from the old man's eyes, and he was really afraid that the old man would hold on to it, so he deliberately gaged and pulled it out.
"Third child, don't you want a will, I will give you a will, and bring all these muddy balls to Tiananmen Square, and take strict care, there must be no mistakes!"
Seeing Hongqing's honest appearance, the old man was really angry and funny, but he didn't reprimand him, but just pretended to be angry and glanced at Hongqing, and then let it go, and then, his face sank, and his voice was cold.
"Wow!"
As soon as he heard the old man's order, the third master's spirit immediately lifted, and he hurriedly responded to the promise, Huo Ran got up, and commanded a group of palace guards to get busy.
