Chapter 271: Judgment (I)
How could Ji Qilong have thought that the seemingly harmless young man in front of him would turn his face when he said it. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info waiting for death? As soon as these two words came out, his face turned pale suddenly, and he unconsciously took a few steps back, and shouted in disbelief: "You dare! You are a sesame petty official, who gave you the power to judge this king? ”
"This official is ordered to handle the case, no matter who you are! As long as you are guilty, how can this judge sentence you? Come on, do it! ”
Seeing that the officials around him really bent forward and walked towards him, Ji Qilong began to panic. He flashed behind the grandson and begged, "Brother Huang, save me." ”
Ji Qiyun's face was ugly, and his eyes flashed at Jiang Yun and said: "This won't be what the imperial grandfather meant, Jiang Yun, you make your own opinion, punish the royal family, and you are still a first-class prince, this matter is not trivial, are you mentally prepared?" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder." Jiang Yun replied lightly: "Although this official has His Majesty's trust in his heart, it is even more obvious. If His Royal Highness had seen Tang Xiaoyu's miserable appearance, he would not have said such cool words in the lobby today. This case is difficult to decide, the official had expected it, but he never thought that His Royal Highness the King was so arrogant, he didn't take the laws of Taizu in his eyes at all, and raped and killed innocent girls, he was not ashamed, but proud, and confessed in court, and now even if His Majesty came in person, he couldn't save him. ”
At this point, Ji Qilong finally knew that he was afraid. He swallowed his saliva and forced a smile: "Lord Jiang, this king is just joking, that woman named Tang Xiaoyu has never been seen by this king." ”
Just thinking about it now? Will it be a little late? Jiang Yun sneered and took out a piece of tissue paper from his arms. "Come, show him."
On the paper was a left-hand handprint, Ji Qilong didn't know what was going on, and said in amazement: "What do you mean?" ”
"When the official helped Tang Xiaoyu conduct an autopsy, he found a handprint on her back buttocks, which should have been caused by a hard beating. As Tang Xiaoyu died shortly after, the blood stopped flowing, and the redness and swelling remained permanently. The middle of the thumb of this mudra is much wider than the rest of the place, which should be caused by the ornament, and it is inferred from the shape that the official thinks it should be a wrench... ”
Ji Qilong instinctively looked down at his left hand, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"You..."
"If Your Highness doesn't admit it, can you print it right? There is no need to think about destroying the evidence, Tang Xiaoyu's body has been sent to the capital and can be checked at will. This is ironclad evidence, and you don't want to deny it! Jiang Yun interrupted Ji Qilong and continued: "King Ji Qilong's crime is heinous, and he should have been sentenced to behead the public to show his grievances. This official remembered his royal background, left him a whole corpse, and sentenced him to the punishment of white silk, which is already benevolent and righteous. The case is settled, and the official will immediately go to the face saint, and the exact date of execution shall be decided by His Majesty. ”
That's right! Whether to kill or not to kill has to be said by the emperor in the end, the Ji brothers immediately reacted, and their faces were slightly relieved.
Seeing that the two had nothing to say, Jiang Yun waved his hand. "Hold on."
"Brother Huang, save me! I plead with the imperial grandfather on my behalf. ”
The wailing gradually faded away, Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and patted the shocked wood: "Retreat!" ”
The court judged that it was called a cool, and let out a vicious breath. If Ji Qilong wants to have a little remorse, Jiang Yun may give him a chance. The law is nothing more than human affection, and even in the afterlife, it is said that death can be avoided by obtaining the forgiveness of the victim's family.
The Tang family and his wife are just honest farmers, who do not seek money, and have never asked the murderer to pay for his life. All they ask for is a statement, a justice. If Ji Qilong repented in the court, apologized in the name of the imperial court, and was even willing to bury Tang Xiaoyu with the gift of the princess, with Jiang Yun's understanding of the Tang family and his wife, at least half of them might spare Ji Qilong's life.
It may be ridiculous to say, but it's no different from covering your ears and stealing a bell. But this is the disposition of the ancient Chinese, who attached great importance to fame. If Tang Xiaoyu was alive, they might not agree to her marrying into the palace, but the person is dead, rather than bearing a reputation of being humiliated, it is better to be wrong, at least have a better face.
It's a pity that Ji Qilong is not very good at life, but he is a good hand at death. After the verdict was handed down, there was a burst of cheers outside the hall, and the Tang family and his wife burst into tears, kowtowing again and again, which was very happy!
The case is over, and then we have to think about how to pass the emperor's level.
Walking out of the lobby of the Criminal Department, Jiang Yun rushed to the imperial study of the palace without stopping before the grandson. This kind of thing pays attention to a first opportunity, if Ji Qiyun is allowed to see the emperor first, Jiang Yun doesn't have to say anything, and even a glance at the emperor again will become a luxury. The wicked sue first, and the word "first" is very important.
"Wechen to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Flat." Ji Zhong still had that plain appearance, put down the fold and said, "The case is over?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's done smoothly."
"Hmm." Ji Chong shook his head and asked, "How is it judged?" ”
Jiang Yun said truthfully: "Weichen sentenced His Royal Highness the King Ding... Hanging. ”
"Huh?" The Emperor stood up suddenly. "What do you say? I didn't hear clearly. ”
His Royal Highness King Ding instructed the guard Hu Xinheng to kidnap the people's daughter Tang Xiaoyu, and then drugged *** to cause the victim's death. In the lobby of the Criminal Department, King Ding confessed to this, and the evidence in this case is conclusive, and there is no doubt about it. Weichen sentenced Hu Xinheng to be beheaded by Emperor Taizu's Great Zhou Law, and read that His Royal Highness was a royal family, so he opened the net, left his whole body, and sentenced Bai Aya. ”
"Smack!" Ji Zhong slapped the table and shouted: "Jiang Yun! I have repeatedly reminded you that you must not be sentenced to punishment that is harmful to the body of the royal family, but not only did you not listen, but you even intensified the sentence to death. Who gave you the guts? Do you think I can't kill you? ”
Jiang Yun knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen's courage was given by Emperor Taizu. The king deserves to die, and the place to die is not in the case itself, but in another big case, if Weichen does not sentence him to death, it is really the biggest disloyalty to His Majesty. ”
"Oh?" Ji Chong's eyes narrowed slightly, the cold light flashed away, and he said in a deep voice: "You get up first, why do you have to kill the king?" If it is justified, I will forgive you for your innocence, but if it is alarmist and unreasonable, I guarantee that you will not see the sun tomorrow! ”
"Please also ask Your Majesty to hold back and leave the left."
"Stand down, all of you." After the four little eunuchs on the station class exited the imperial study, Ji Zhong said lightly: "You can say it." ”
"Your Majesty, the king of him... Not royalty. ”
"What do you mean?"
"What Weichen means is that His Royal Highness King Ding is not from the late prince, and he has no blood relationship with the Ji family."
When Ji Chong heard this, his face couldn't help but change sharply. He was the emperor, and he should have collapsed without changing his color, but the news was too appalling. "Do you have a certificate?"
"The evidence is overwhelming."
"Say!"
Jiang Yun put on a smiling face, pointed to his left cheek and said, "Your Majesty, can you see the dimples on Weichen's face?" ”
"Dimples?" Ji Chong was stunned for a moment, looked at the direction of Jiang Yun's finger, and then suddenly said, "You're talking about the cheek swirl, right?" What's so strange about laughing and whirlpooling? ”
"Your Majesty, when Weichen was young, he was taught by a teacher, and the inheritance of the speaker is divided into explicit and implicit, and this cheek swirl is the most ordinary dominant feature. In other words, if both parents have it, the children must have it too. Weichen dared to ask His Majesty, do you still remember if the crown prince and the crown princess have this cheek swirl? Did the late queen mother have this cheek swirl? ”
Ji Chong thought carefully for a moment, and said, "I have all of them, and I have them too." ”
"Then there will be no more doubts." Jiang Yunlang said: "Because Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have it, so the King of Wu and the King of Pingnan that Weichen has seen with his own eyes also have, and Weichen has the courage to assert that His Majesty and the Queen Mother must have children, including the late His Royal Highness the Prince." And the crown princess also has it, so the prince's heirs must also inherit the characteristics of their parents. His Royal Highness Taisun has it, this is a matter of course, but why is His Royal Highness the King not? ”
"This..."
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the people to investigate, but whenever there is a special case, there will be no complaints. This is ironclad evidence, which is enough to prove that His Royal Highness King Ding is from the crown princess and a person with a whirlpool on his face, not the prince's biological flesh and blood, nor is he a member of the Ji family. ”
Ji Zhong didn't say a word, but his face became more and more pale. "No... This is impossible, the crown princess lives in the East Palace all the year round, and everything she sees around her is nothing more than some internal prisons, even if she cheats with someone, only the royal family is left who has this opportunity, and she is not only the Ji family, but also the whirlpool. ”
His tone was resolute, but he didn't know whether he was questioning Jiang Yun or convincing himself. (To be continued.) )
