Chapter 62: The Case Is Finally Closed!
"There is no need for Xu Xiang to worry, my father is wise and martial, and naturally he will not shield this kind of traitor and thief who dares to assassinate the prince."
Li Hong took a sip of tea and said slowly.
Just said so many words in one breath, it really hurt Li Hong's throat, and it seemed that there would be a tough battle in a while, so Li Hong had to take a break quickly.
As for the next thing, he believes that Zhang Wenqian will help him do it well.
"Your Highness, do you need to show your majesty ...... again?"
Xu Jingzong was silent, but Zhou Yunyuan grabbed his beard and jumped out to brush his sense of existence, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Wenjun.
"What do you mean by Zhou Zhongcheng's words, now that the case is clear, even if it is clear to Your Majesty, it should be after the case is concluded, otherwise you have to ask Your Majesty for everything, is it child's play that these three divisions will be tried?"
Although Zhang Wenqian was the chief judge, he didn't speak today, because from the time Li Hong interrupted him, this old man knew that Li Hong had other plans.
Since he didn't know Li Hong's plan, it was naturally best to be silent, otherwise it would cause chaos for Li Hong.
So the old man didn't say anything, but now it was obviously time for him, the chief judge, to come out.
Now, Zhang Wenqian has also understood the situation in front of him, Li Hong wants to close the case as soon as possible, otherwise once Liu Renliang enters the palace, he will stop this trial, and Li Hong's hard work will be in vain.
However, Zhang Wenqian didn't speak, it doesn't mean that he didn't hold back the fire in his heart, don't forget that this is Dali Temple, and he, the secretary of Dali Temple, is today's chief judge, but Liu Renliang and Zhou Yunyuan have been bouncing so happily in the lobby, they just didn't take him in their eyes at all.
Therefore, as soon as Comrade Zhang opened his mouth, he was aggressive, which directly blocked Zhou Yunyuan's old face and turned red.
"In this case, the facts of the case have become clear, Zhou Guogong instructed Pingkangfang and others to ambush and intercept the guards of the Yongwang Mansion, this is the first crime, secretly bribing the palace attendants to assassinate the prince, this is the second crime, for many years connived at the abduction and trafficking of women, so that countless families were ruined, this is the third crime! Come on, let Zhou Guogong draw a charge! ”
After scolding Zhou Yunyuan, Zhang Wenqian didn't pay attention to this sleek imperial historian.
Instead, he directly announced the verdict with an extremely strong face, and then asked Helan Minzhi, who had a dead face, to draw a charge on the testimony to confirm it.
Xu Jingzong just wanted to speak, but when he looked up, he saw Li Hong staring at him with a smile, and he couldn't help but swallow the words that came to his mouth.
"The Holy Decree has arrived, and the trial of the assassination of the Imperial City has been stopped!"
A familiar voice came from outside the hall, making Li Hong smile lightly.
Liu Renliang, you old guy is still a step too late after all!
The person who came was Li Zhi's personal attendant Wu Liangfu.
Wu Liangfu's face was flushed, dusty, and he was still panting when he walked into the lobby, obviously coming all the way in a hurry, and people arrived before the sound came.
"Your Majesty decrees that the trial of the assassination of the Imperial City will be stopped, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be summoned to ......"
Halfway through his words, Wu Liangfu suddenly stopped.
In the lobby, everyone's reactions were different, Helan Min's face was dead, Zhang Wenjun's eyes were full of joy, but Xu Jingzong and Zhou Yunyuan had regretful expressions.
As for Li Hong, he looked at himself with a smile.
Seeing this scene, Wu Liangfu didn't understand that he was late, and smiled bitterly at the moment.
"It seems that the old slave is in a hurry, or a step too late, Your Highness is really ...... Alas! Your Majesty decreed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the three adults should be summoned to enter the palace immediately, so let's go with the old slave! Lord Liu and His Majesty are already waiting! ”
Wu Liangfu looked at Li Hong helplessly, when Li Zhi and Li Hong were talking that night, he was next to him, he was still wondering at that time, he had contact with Li Hong several times, and felt that Li Hong was not such an easily persuaded person, why did Li Zhi soften after just saying a few words.
But at that time, Li Zhi was on the rise, so he didn't say much, but he didn't expect Li Hong to wait for Li Zhi here!
It's just that I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has figured out how to deal with His Majesty's anger, but when he came out, he saw Li Zhi's gloomy face and could drip water!
"Wu Daban waits, it only takes a moment!"
Li Hong stood up and said to Wu Liangfu gently.
"Well, it's too late anyway, the old slave will accompany His Highness to make a fuss! Your Highness, please! ”
Wu Liangfu sighed and said slowly.
Li Hong glanced at Zhang Wenjun, who immediately understood and continued.
"This case has ended, there is no need to stop the trial, Wu Neishou waited, after the official and the two adults sorted out the case file, they were brought into the palace to perform Your Majesty, Zhou Zhongcheng, Xu Xiang, since the prisoner has signed and detained, I will jointly play it and report the results to Your Majesty! Is that good? ”
Zhang Wenqian said to the two people sitting next to him with an inquiring face.
The two of them were speechless for a while.
You're all convicted, and you've remembered to ask for our opinion......
It's all come to this point, can you still say no?
Xu Jingzong and Zhou Yunyuan glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Especially Zhou Yunyuan, he couldn't understand why Li Hong had made the current situation in just a few words, even though everything was fine.
But what else can be done now?
Let's enter the palace honestly!
Anyway, they tried their best, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was bent on putting Zhou Guogong to death, and they couldn't help it, anyway, one was his own son and the other was his own nephew, so they could only let the emperor and the queen decide.
Li Hong is not worried that these two people will make trouble again, after all, this is a triage of the three divisions, everything is in accordance with the process, and no one is blameless.
Therefore, although Zhang Wenjun's behavior just now was slightly overbearing, it was actually in accordance with the procedure and could be regarded as the common opinion of the three chief judges.
Now that the verdict has been handed down, the two men will no longer cause trouble, and it is almost impossible to overturn the result.
Because this is the result of the trial of the three divisions, in a sense, it is the trial of the highest procedure of the entire empire.
Once the verdict is made, it represents the joint resolution of Menxia Province, Dali Temple and Yushitai.
Whatever the purpose, Heo Jingzong and Zhou Yunyuan, as the heads of their respective institutions, must uphold this outcome.
Because this result represents the majesty of these three institutions! Even the emperor is difficult to overthrow.
This is also the purpose of Li Hong to convict He Lanmin at all costs, only in this way can he be completely punished!
But the only headache is how to explain it when it comes to Li Zhi.
If Li Zhi knew that he was a good son, not only would he disobey him, but he would also secretly put him in a position, I don't know how angry he would be!
There is also the Empress Wu, in fact, the Empress Wu is the most difficult to settle......
Li Hong lowered his head and was thinking, but saw that Zhang Wenqian had already sorted out the file and said to the court.
"Someone, take Zhou Guogong into custody for the time being, wait for His Majesty to deal with it, put this assassin on death row, and ...... at a later date."
Although Zhang Wenqian did not have the power to dispose of Helan Minzhi, the assassin was not a person of high status, and Zhang Wenqian directly put him on death row, but unexpectedly, Zhang Wenqian was interrupted by Li Hong before he finished speaking.
"Wait......"
ps: Wow, I'm so nervous, Li Hong is about to enter the palace, Li Zhi must be very angry, what should I do? What to do? What to do?
