[This is a 4,000-word chapter, a bit long]

"Alas......"

Gong Ji's shoulders shrugged slightly, his straight waist slackened, like a deflated ball, the whole person was sluggish, and after a long sigh, he said stubbornly: "So that the three adults in the hall know that if I am only one of the five-grade Kuslang, how can I call the wind and rain in the Kusi and cover the sky with one hand?" Even if you are bold to me, you don't dare to make money so wantonly and bend the law for bribes! ”

"Oh?"

"Huh?"

The eldest grandson Wuji in the hall and Pei Lian, who was listening, were shocked one after another. The former's brows are slowly stretched, and there is joy in his eyes; The latter raised his eyebrows, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Ignoring the fact that Wei Ting was presiding over the questioning at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly asked Gong Ji: "Gong Ji, do you mean that there is someone behind you to support you and take the helm for you, yes or no?" Who is behind you? How many of your comrades are there? If you take the initiative to confess, this official will definitely consider your guilt and punish you lightly with the other two adults. ”

When Gong Ji heard this, after getting the promise of the eldest grandson Wuji, his face suddenly dissipated, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Eldest Sun, I will say it, I will say it, I will say ......it."

"Presumptuous!"

Pei Lian, who was listening, stood up suddenly, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji gloomily and reprimanded angrily: "Okay, you are an eldest grandson Wuji, you are inducing the criminal, your heart can be punished, your heart can be punished!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey!!"

Gao Shilian stood up at the right time and accused Pei Lian: "The surname is Pei, are you ordered to come over to observe, or are you in charge of trying the case?" Hey, if the old man heard correctly, someone just now swore that he would never mix up the case. Do you want to break your word and get fat, or do you want to disobey His Majesty's holy decree? ”

"You ......"

Pei Lin was suddenly stepped on by Gao Shilian again, his face was red with anger, and he held the holy decree tightly in his hand, not knowing how to deal with it.

Wei Ting has always been neutral and has maintained neutrality between the two sides, and now seeing Pei Lin blatantly breaking the rules, he couldn't help but get up and said: "Master Pei, you are ordered to observe, but you must not go against the holy will, don't interrupt our trial." ”

Pei Lian shouted unwillingly: "But the eldest grandson Wuji is inducing Gong Ji to lie nakedly, do you want to concoct an unjust, false and wrongful case?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered and said, "Isn't Boss Pei so old that his ears are not bright?" Before Gong Ji's words came out, you knew he was lying? Or does Master Pei have a ghost in his heart, and he is afraid that Gong Ji will tell some shocking secrets? ”

"Nonsense, eldest grandson Wuji, you dare to frame me?"

Pei Lin was annoyed and ashamed, and he was about to step forward to reason with the eldest grandson Wuji.

Seeing this, even if he wanted to remain neutral, he was dissatisfied with Pei Lian's reliance on the old man to stir up the situation, and shouted in a deep voice: "The three divisions will be tried, and you must not be presumptuous!" ”

After drinking Pei Lian, Wei Ting continued: "Master Pei, Lord Changsun is not inducing the criminal, but reasonably speculating on formal interrogation, which is the interrogation technique of our Criminal Department and Dali Temple. This official once again warns Mr. Pei that it is forbidden to make noise in the public hall of Dali Temple, but don't break the rules of the triage of the three divisions, and don't make Wei embarrassed. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the officials on both sides of the hall, lowered his face and deliberately did not look at Pei Lian, and ordered: "This official will say again, if anyone dares to make noise during the trial, they will hit Dali Temple with a stick!! ”

"Wow!!"

When Wei Ting's words fell, Pei Lian sat back in his chair with a pale face, looked at Gong Ji with bated breath, and listened to his answer.

Gong Ji didn't dare to look back at Pei Lian, so he was ruthless and said: "Tell the three adults, I am the protégé of the late Shangshu's right servant Feng Deyi Feng, and it was Lord Feng who recommended me to enter the military department back then. Ever since I became the Shilangzhong, every silver who is greedy for ink will have a portion of the seal, and it is a large portion. ”

"Oh?"

The eldest grandson Wuji pretended to be extremely shocked, and continued to ask: "So, Lord Feng recommended you all the way for the purpose of soliciting bribes and sharing the spoils?" ”

Gong Ji gritted his teeth and nodded, "Exactly!" If it weren't for the fact that I was clever back then, how could Lord Feng have chosen me from so many people? At the end of each year, if I am greedy for money and bribes for a whole year, Lord Feng will take at least seventy percent. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head vigorously and sighed: "Tsk, I really can't see that Feng Deyi is actually this kind of person, alas, the official really mislooks at him!" ”

Gao Shilian next to him naturally knew what his nephew meant, and he also shook his head and sighed with him, looking at Pei Lin with disdain, as if to say, look at you old ministers of martial arts, why are you so unproductive?

At this time, although Pei Lin was afraid of Wei Ting's rules just now and didn't dare to make a noise, he was already so angry that his eyeballs were bloodshot and bulging, staring at Gong Ji deadly.

The eldest grandson Wuji asked again: "Gong Ji, according to that account book, you have been in the first year of Zhenguan to the fourth year of Zhenguan to the present, that is, the year of Feng Deyi's death, but you have been continuing to be greedy for ink and continue to accept bribes. The official is very curious, Lord Feng has passed away, and no one asks you for a share of the spoils anymore, why don't you stop it, could it be that you are already insatiable, and you don't care about the reason to accept it when you see it? ”

"Alas......"

Gong Ji sighed heavily again, and lamented: "Lord Eldest Sun doesn't know that the silver that Lord Feng has been sharing from the hands of his subordinates is not his own. Lord Feng represents not one person, but a group of people. After Lord Feng died, there were still some adults who were reaching out to their subordinates to ask for silver. If the lower officials dare not continue to maintain filial piety every year, hehe, they will definitely beat the lower officials back to their original form and become Gong Ji, who is not bullshit. Dare to ask Lord Changsun, in this case, can Xia Guan Yan stop? How dare you not continue to be greedy for ink and continue to take bribes? ”

Gong Ji's words directly shaped himself from a greedy moth to a helpless bitter master, facing a big guy like Feng Deyi, he didn't dare not be greedy, he had to be greedy.

Guo Ye, who was outside the hall, heard this, and he was really secretly amazed, this grandson can really break blindly!

And when the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he was already secretly excited, because he knew that the most pleasant part was coming.

Then he asked: "Gong Ji, then tell me, after Lord Feng died, which adults forced you to embezzle, to ask for bribes, to enrich your own pockets, to guard and steal?" ”

Gong Ji lowered his head and said: "One is Shangshu Zuo Servant Xiao Yu, one is Chen Shuda, the Governor of Jingzhou, the Duke of Handong County, the other is Yang Gongren, the Governor of Yangzhou, the Duke of Jiangguo, and one person, one is ......."

Gong Ji couldn't help his heart thumping wildly, subconsciously turned his head to look at Pei Lian, and hurriedly lowered his head, and said in a squeaky voice: "There is another person who is Lord Pei Lianpei, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple of Hedong County!" ”

The eldest grandson couldn't pretend to be surprised, and asked hurriedly: "But Lord Pei Lianpei, who was sitting on the side and listening to this case?" ”

"Exactly!"

Gong Ji didn't raise his head, nodded ruthlessly, and said categorically.

"Presumptuous, presumptuous!"

Pei Lin couldn't calm down anymore, went to the fucking three divisions to interrogate, and shouted like thunder: "You are slandering, you are planting!" ”

"Pei Lian, you have made trouble in Dali Temple five times, what is your intention? Come and coax Pei Lin out of Dali Temple! ”

Before Wei Ting could speak, Gao Shilian had already cooperated with the eldest grandson Wuji, and commanded two classes of officials to prepare to drive out the troublesome Pei Lian.

After Gao Shilian finished shouting, Wei Ting reacted from Gong Ji's confession, and also shouted to the two class officials: "Pei Lianmu can't be ordered, and he has been making trouble to block the trial, read your age, don't beat it out with a stick, come, give Pei Lin to this official and take it out of Dali Temple, and wait for the end of the interrogation." ”

"Wow!!"

Two shifts of dozens of officials held sticks in their hands, and the regiments surrounded Pei Lian.

Pei Lin suddenly raised the holy decree in his hand and shouted: "Your Majesty's imperial holy decree is here, who dares to touch me?" Blaspheming the Holy Decree is tantamount to deceiving the king! ”

Instantly

All the officials were also shocked by Pei Lian's abrupt move, as he said, who would dare to take him at the moment of the imperial decree?

Wei Ting was frightened by Pei Lin for a while!

And the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian glanced at each other again, their eyes were full of confusion, Pei Lin suddenly came to this scene, how could it be broken?

If Pei Lin is not kicked out of the court, this interrogation cannot continue.

However, the interrogation could not be interrupted, and now that the case had been questioned to this point, Wei Ting, the secretary of the Criminal Department, obviously had a tendency to believe what Gong Ji said.

As long as the confession recorded by the criminal master is signed and detained in front of Wei Ting, then this trial of the three divisions will be completely completed.

Damn, the great work is about to be completed, and the old ministers of Wude are about to end, so they are about to kick this door.

Pei Lin doesn't leave, how can he make Gong Jishun sign smoothly?

How to break?

How to break?

The scene froze for a while!

The eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian were secretly anxious in their hearts, the interrogation must not be interrupted, and they must take advantage of the fact that Wei Ting, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, still believes what Gong Ji said, and confirm this case, otherwise, if the trial is delayed, there will be too many variables.

Just when the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian were anxious, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the hall:

"Ladies and gentlemen, can you listen to what the lower officials say?"

Wei Ting listened to someone shouting outside, and there was a Pei Lin and another scene, this is to put the court in a child's play?

Suddenly he was furious and said: "Bold? Who dares to make noise outside the hall? ”

"I'm Guo Ye, a member of the military department, I have something to say!"

Guo Ye?

Guo Ye!!

Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji turned their heads to the outside of the hall and found Guo Ye's figure.

Gao Shilian said, is there a way for this kid to break this deadlock?

Immediately, his heart was relieved, and he said to Wei Ting: "Master Wei, don't be impatient, and I heard about it, how about it?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also chimed in: "I have no opinion!" ”

Seeing that the nephew and uncle said so, what else could Wei Ting say? directly beckoned to Guo Ye and said, "Come in and talk in court!" ”

Guo Ye snorted, and after entering the court, he suddenly spoke with a righteous face, and he pointed at Pei Lin with a clear look, and reprimanded:

"Master Pei, as an important minister of the court and an old minister in the court, how can you rely on the Holy Gift of the Imperial Gift to sprinkle in Dali Temple? Could it be that you have forgotten that when the case is tried in court, there is still a talk of avoiding suspicion? ”

Avoid arousing suspicion?

The eldest grandson, Wuji, Gao Shi, Lian and Wei Ting, listened to it, and looked at each other, as if they heard a little meaning.

I only heard Guo Ye continue: "Since Gong Ji mentioned Master Pei in his mouth, according to my Tang Dynasty regulations, Master Pei should immediately withdraw from the court to avoid suspicion and interrogation, no matter how big an official you are, you have to follow the Tang Dynasty regulations, right?" Moreover, I remember that in the official documents of the criminal departments sent by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to the yamen of the major state capitals, there was an introduction to the theory of avoiding suspicion. Relatives and friends avoid suspicion, teachers and students avoid suspicion, fellow villagers avoid suspicion, and suspects avoid suspicion......"

"The laws of the Tang Dynasty are the foundation of my Tang Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone the subjects? Could it be that Master Pei feels that he has the Holy Decree to rely on, so he can do anything wrong, and he is even higher than my Tang Dynasty Emperor? Master Pei regards the laws of the Tang Dynasty as nothing, and makes trouble in Dali Temple unscrupulously, not to mention the final outcome of Gong Ji's case, at least three adults can cure you for the crime of contempt of the law. ”

"Master Pei Lianpei, are you convinced?"

Let's go!

Pei Lin was chilled by Guo Ye's words, and as soon as his palms were loosened, the holy decree couldn't help falling off and falling to the ground.

Guo Ye immediately counted down and said: "Look, throw the holy decree on the ground at will, and then treat you as a deceitful offender, it is more than enough to see no king!" ”

"Hahaha......"

After listening to Guo Ye's words, Gao Shilian immediately clapped his hands and applauded, shouting regardless of his manners: "The surname is Pei, can you be convinced?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's frowning brows were completely loosened, and the dilemma was actually solved by Guo Ye, this kid, whew~~

He breathed a sigh of relief, and shifted his attention to Gong Ji, the rest of the matter about Pei Lian, it should be Wei Ting, a neutral criminal department scholar, should have been broken.

I only heard Wei Ting say: "That's right, whether it is the laws of the Tang Dynasty or the official documents of the Criminal Department, there is a saying of avoiding suspicion." If it weren't for this little brother's reminder, the official almost forgot, ashamed and ashamed, and almost missed a big event! ”

After that, his face tightened, and he ordered the two class officials: "Since Gong Ji's case involves Lord Pei, then in order to avoid suspicion, please ask Lord Pei Lin to withdraw from the court first." Come on, take Master Pei Lin down, be lighter with your hands and feet, don't hurt Lord Pei! ”

After the order, Wei Ting suddenly glanced at Guo Ye meaningfully, his eyes were deep, and after just one glance, he waved at Guo Ye and signaled him to leave the court as well.

Then he whispered to Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian: "Two, let's continue the trial!" ", the house of reading! Unique URL:
