Gao Wenyuan was playing with the hairpin that Yang Yong had taken in his hand, and suddenly he threw the hairpin in front of Yang Yong and shouted: "I asked you to find evidence, what kind of thing did you find for me?" ”
"My lord, there is indeed nothing in Song Anping's house," Yang Yong picked up the hairpin from the ground, and once looked at it carefully, he said: "I look at a thing with exquisite workmanship, it must have come out of the palace." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Then why don't you go and prove that your thing is something from the palace!" Gao Wenyuan was not interested in listening to Yang Yong's explanation, he shouted and drove Yang Yong out.
Yang Yong took the hairpin, and came to the Internal Affairs Mansion stupidly, wanting the people of the Internal Affairs Office to check the origin of this hairpin, after the verification of the Internal Affairs Office, this hairpin is indeed a thing in the palace, but it is still the hairpin that the emperor rewarded Wu Guifei, some time before the Wu Zhuangyuan competition, Wu Guifei lost this hairpin, and he did not find it in the palace for several days, and he unjustly killed a maid for this reason.
Yang Yong was verified by the Internal Affairs Office, and ran back to the yamen of the Criminal Department in a hurry, handed the hairpin to Gao Wenyuan, and told Gao Wenyuan about the origin of the hairpin.
"Okay, you Song Anping, you dare to steal into the palace," Gao Wenyuan listened to Yang Yong's explanation, and was overjoyed, and finally found the evidence of Song Anping's crime, he said to himself proudly: "Stealing things in the palace, this crime is enough for you to sentence." ”
Gao Wenyuan finally found evidence of Song Anping's crime, and immediately took Song Anping to court and began interrogation, Gao Wenyuan didn't want to offend the prime minister, so he specially invited Prime Minister Li Gang and Taibao Zhang Bangchang to be jurors.
Gao Wenyuan sat in the right seat of the public hall, the master sat on Gao Wenyuan's left hand side to prepare for the record, Yang Yong stood on Gao Wenyuan's right hand side and waited, and two tables were arranged behind the public hall, Li Gang and Zhang Bangchang each sat behind a table, both of them had a confident appearance, and the third class of officials stood on both sides and shouted the word mighty.
After Gao Wenyuan waited for everything to be ready, he slapped the hall and shouted, "Take the prisoner Song Anping." ”
As Gao Wenyuan's words fell, two messengers brought Song Anping up, and knelt on top of the public hall according to Song Anping, Wang Qi, who followed Song Anping, couldn't enter the lobby, so he could only stand outside the door and wait anxiously, Yang Yong, who was standing next to Gao Wenyuan, saw Wang Qi, his face showed a trace of helplessness, he wanted to go out but didn't dare, he could only wait anxiously for the end of the trial.
Gao Wenyuan didn't ask much after waiting for Song Anping to come up, and directly took out the hairpin, asked Yang Yong to send it to Song Anping, and asked, "You Song Anping, you are a lovely thing." ”
Song Anping looked at the hairpin and nodded.
"This hairpin was found from your house, and you admit it."
Song Anping still nodded.
Li Gang, who was sitting on the side, felt that something was wrong, but even if he was the prime minister here, he couldn't talk nonsense, so he could only watch silently.
"And you know what it is?"
"Who doesn't know the hairpin," Song Anping said vaguely, seeing that no one understood, he had to nod.
"Did you steal it?"
Song Anping shook his head.
"Then how did this thing end up in your house?"
Song Anping shook his head vigorously, and squeezed out two words with difficulty, "Pick it up." ”
"Picking it up is the same crime as stealing," Gao Wenyuan said and motioned for his master to go and draw the detention.
The master understood what Master Shangshu meant, so he took the confession and came to Song Anping and asked him to draw a charge.
Song Anping glanced at the confession, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he drew a charge on it.
The case that once alarmed the emperor and the prime minister, but now it has become so simple and clear, and it is still just a hairpin What a small matter, this change inevitably makes the people present a little confused.
Wang Qi, who was standing outside the door, saw that this trial was not for teasing Concubine Xiang, but just for a hairpin, he was a little puzzled, but then he thought of the reason, this may be the prime minister walking around from it, in order to alleviate Song Anping's crime, he also understood that even if it was stealing, the crime of the first hairpin was much lighter than the crime of molesting the imperial concubine, so he often breathed a sigh of relief and floated a grateful look at Li Gang.
At this time, Li Gang was also wondering why the case had become so simple, he secretly wondered in his heart, whether Zhang Bangchang really gave up on Song Anping's accusation, and then he began to shake his head, he was convinced that the case would not be simple, because Gao Wenyuan still had to explain to the emperor, and after a long absence, Gao Wenyuan would not convict Song Anping for a crime of stealing hairpins.
At this time, Zhang Bangchang was also wondering like Li Gang, he had clearly said that the crime of corruption and bribery that Yu Gao Wenyuan had said before, but now it has become a crime of stealing hairpins, and he looked at Gao Wenyuan with some dissatisfaction.
Gao Wenyuan understood what Zhang Bangchang meant, but he didn't pay attention to Zhang Bangchang's dissatisfaction, he took Song Anping's confession from his master's hand, looked at it himself, patted it with a serious face, and announced the outcome of the case.
"Song Anping, as an official of the imperial court, eats the country's money and food, and should have served the country, but when he saw that Wu Guifei's hairpin was beautiful, he became evil, forgot his duty, and stole the hairpin that the emperor rewarded Wu Guifei, which is a great crime," when Gao Wenyuan said this, everyone understood the seriousness of the case.
Song Anping only understood the danger of this hairpin when he heard this, and began to secretly scold himself for being nosy, if he didn't look for Li Xiaomu, he wouldn't have picked up this hairpin at all. Song Anping thought like this and greeted Li Xiaomu's eight-generation ancestors, thinking that Li Xiaomu was a good man, but he didn't expect that Li Xiaomu was just a thief, and he went to steal things in the palace and planted the crime on his head.
Song Anping shouted in his heart that he was wronged, but in the face of the ironclad evidence in front of him and the confession he had drawn, he knew that it was useless to say more, so he also chose to remain silent and wait for the final verdict.
Li Gang was mentally prepared for the changes in the case, but he didn't expect it to suddenly become so serious, he had a team of Gao Wenyuan raised several objections, but his words seemed so weak in the face of this ironclad evidence.
This sudden change in the case was exactly what Zhang Bangchang's appetite was, and he threw away his dissatisfaction and gave Gao Wenyuan a thumbs up in his heart.
Wang Qi, who was standing at the door, looked at the changes in the case, his originally relaxed mood began to be anxious again, he really wanted to rush in and snatch Song Anping back, but at this time, Li Gang's gaze came and suppressed his impulse.
