Chapter 278: Death without pleading guilty
After Jin Dalang finished speaking, he cautiously glanced at Wang Yuanshi next to him, and found that he had never looked at him, and seemed to be a little relieved. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info No way, everyone in Jinyang City knows the prestige of the Taiyuan Wang family. Even if the trees are scattered now, this prestige of the past is not something that a small star like Jin Dalang can confront head-on.
But for some reason, Jin Dalang just got drunk and talked a few more words in the shop, and then he was taken all the way from Taiyuan Mansion to Chang'an City, Jingzhao Mansion, by a few inspectors who were three or five thick and wearing the regular uniforms of the Supervision Department. The overseers just told him to be honest about what you know, and you can go home and get a little reward.
Where does Jin Dalang dare to disobey? Since ancient times, there have been two official words, no matter how you say it, you are right to be an official, he is a star-fighting small citizen, what capital does he have to be right? He hurriedly agreed to those inspectors, and these days, he has enjoyed a treatment that he has not enjoyed in the previous half of his life. Every meal has chicken, duck and fish, wine and delicacies, silk quilts and soft couches, so happy.
However, after only enjoying it for a few days, he was taken to the court, and when he knew that he was going to correct the head of the Wang family, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants on the spot. Fortunately, Wang Yuanshi didn't care about him, so Jin Dalang swallowed his saliva and quietly moved back a little, avoiding the range that Wang Yuanshi's squint could see.
Ren Qishen, the secretary of Dali Temple, noticed Jin Dalang's abnormality, and didn't feel anything, and continued to ask: "Jin Dalang, this official asks you, do you recognize the person in front of you?" ”
When Jin Dalang heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "It's miserable, this head is also a knife, and the head is also a knife, or this court is more powerful, the Wang family has been defeated, it is better to help the court!" I hope this Wang family won't turn over, otherwise I'll be miserable......"
After thinking about it for only a few breaths, Jin Dalang had a plan in his heart, and said in a loud voice: "If you go back to the official, this person knows and recognizes it." ”
"What is this man's name, and where does he live?"
Jin Dalang said truthfully: "Back to the official, this old man is the richest man in our Jinyang City, the old man of the Wang family, and the name is small. Well, the small one has only seen it once or twice, so I'm not sure. ”
Jin Dalang's cunning of a star-fighting small people was seen by Wang Anshi, but he felt kind and funny. It's just that Dali Siqing didn't think it was funny at all, but he was quite criticized for the ability of the Supervision Department, and said in his heart: "Those Qiu Ba, and they still say that this person is honest, and in the eyes of this official, he is also a wanderer, and he has done what he said accurately?" ”
It's just that there are no other witnesses at this moment, so he can only continue to interrogate: "Jin Dalang, this official also asks you, the old man of the Wang family in front of you, Wang Yuanshi, has he ever adopted a righteous son?" ”
Jin Dalang was stunned when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone in Jinyang City knows that Master Wang's favorite thing is to adopt a righteous son. But I don't know, which righteous son is the official asking? ”
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers all covered their mouths and snickered. Jin Dalang's honesty hides a little cunning of the star-fighting people, which is simply the best portrayal of the low-level characters, and it is no wonder that these onlookers snickered.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little weird, Ren Qishen, the secretary of Dali Temple, hurriedly patted the shocked wood and shouted: "Quiet! ”
The official authority is like this, except for a few people such as Wang Yuanshi, Wang Anshi and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, etc., even the officials were shocked, and the public court was quiet again. Seeing this, Ren Qishen nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Jin Dalang, don't you have to play tricks, the official asked you, does Wang Yuanshi have a righteous son called Wang Hu, who is nicknamed Jinyang Fierce Tiger?" ”
Jin Dalang immediately nodded and said, "Official, there is such a thing. ”
When Ren Qishen heard this, he motioned for the master book to record it, and then said to Wang Yuanshi with a sneer: "The matter has come to this, Wang Yuanshi, do you have anything to quibble?" ”
Wang Yuanshi said calmly: "Yes, Wang Hu is the son of the old man, so what can it mean?" ”
Ren Qishen sneered: "It seems that Wang Yuanshi, you are very good at pretending to be stupid, but it's okay, the official told you that this matter is too big." Wang Hu's sale of illicit salt, the evidence is conclusive, and you can't turn the sky over. Wang Hu is your righteous son, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you? In addition, there have been confessions from the captives, they are the servants of the Wang family, Wang Yuanshi, how do you explain it? ”
Wang Yuanshi said: "Wang Hu is just an old man's son, not a son. What the righteous son did, how did the adoptive father advise? As for his sale of illicit salt, His Majesty has said that there is no official salt after that, how can Wang Hu be regarded as selling illicit salt? As for the domestic servants, there are nearly 10,000 domestic servants in my Wang family, and there are a few scum, which is also an ordinary ......"
Wang Yuanshi's indifferent expression not only angered Ren Qishen, but also caused Wang Anshi to frown again and again, he thought that he was calmly admitting his guilt, but he didn't expect to admit his guilt, and his good feeling was suddenly gone.
Ren Qishen laughed angrily and said, "Okay, okay, Wang Yuanshi, are you really not crying when you don't see the coffin?" This official will fulfill you! Someone, present the evidence! ”
Jin Dalang saw that Wang Yuanshi was still so breezy and calm, and secretly admired in his heart, and said in his heart: "In the end, he is a big man who has seen the world, and he is different from us." If it were me, maybe I would have confessed a long time ago, but only Master Wang could do this, right? ”
After a short time, several officials sent the evidence to the court. Ren Qishen motioned to open the evidence wrapped in linen, and everyone's eyes focused on the end plate. As soon as the sackcloth was lifted, several standard bows and crossbows were revealed, which frightened the surrounding people into an uproar.
Wang Yuanshi just glanced at it, as if he was not interested in a second look. Ren Qishen mistakenly thought that his heart was dead, and sneered: "Wang Yuanshi, this person's evidence and material evidence are all there, you can plead guilty now, and you can deal with it as appropriate." If you don't admit it to death, then don't blame the official for acting according to the law! ”
Jin Dalang kept looking at the bows and crossbows on the ground, shocked and frightened. It's like the common people of later generations suddenly saw a real gun, and their first reaction was definitely frightened. This bow and crossbow is a firearm of this era, which is a strictly forbidden weapon, and if a private maker is caught, it is definitely a death penalty.
It's just that the rivers and lakes are reckless, and they don't take "Da Shun Law" seriously at all. Not only standard bows and crossbows, but also standard weapons such as armor, spears, and knives are readily available. In other words, as long as you have money, you are not afraid that no one will do this business.
Wang Yuanshi glanced at the crossbow and said disdainfully, "What does this mean?" The old man once read "The Great Shun Law", which only said that the private creator is guilty of death, and the private collector is just a raider. The old man knows that the Wang family has been hollowed out by you, and the old man's crime has been committed, what do you still want to do to the old man? ”
As soon as this sentence came out, not only the people around him were stunned, but even Ren Qishen, who was familiar with "Da Shun Law", was also stunned. Wang Yuanshi understands the law so well, which Ren Qishen never expected. originally thought that there were all human and material evidence, and Wang Yuanshi could not escape the charge of attempting to rebel. Unexpectedly, Wang Yuanshi responded calmly and resolved all his tricks.
The partial Dali Temple is not one of those county offices, and it doesn't matter much if it is bent into a trick. This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Ren Qishen, as a Dali Siqing, is watched by people every move, where does he dare to ignore the law? (To be continued.) )
