This night, Yang Jian was about to wake up from a dream laughing, he dreamed that the father and son next to the king in the main hall and Lu Xu, Sima Guang and others, you punch me and I can't fight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before the time of the trial, there were already crowds of people outside Kaifeng Mansion. Today's public trial of Ayun in Kaifeng Prefecture has caused a sensation in the capital. What kind of case did the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department of the imperial court not make a final ruling? From this position, there was no public trial in the hall at all, so some people used the stone steps to poke their heads on tiptoe to look at the court.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Someone shouted.

"Who's coming?"

"Jury, somebody's coming."

"Cut!"

Outside, there was a lively and noisy shouting, and it was not the jury who was present that the crowd was crowded inside, holding a letter in their hands. The results of the guards were verified, and it was a letter to participate in the trial, which was equivalent to an admission pass, and then they were allowed to enter.

"Wasn't that just now, Zheng Yuanwai?"

"Yes! The family is a gentry, who knows the Zheng family within a radius of hundreds of miles? ”

"Look, the shopkeeper of Sun Diancheng's pharmacy ......"

"See, they're all characters with heads and faces?"

The people outside Kaifeng Mansion looked at the people who were let in one by one, and immediately there was a burst of discussion.

"Huh? How can there still be a lady? Who knows this woman? ”

"Don't you know this? This is the woman of Hanlin Bachelor Zeng Bu, the famous female lyricist Mrs. Wei! ”

"But write that: flowers fall outside the sunset building. The sky is clear and blue. Go to the sail and look back at the end of the world. The female lyricist? ”

"Even if you have knowledge, this word is a good person!"

"Look at you, wipe your saliva!"

The people laughed.

"Whose son is this?"

"I don't know! But the little boy next to him is very handsome. ”

Zhao Ji wore a plain scarf and a brocade robe. The two children behind him were wearing satin clothes and soft wings, one opened the way for Zhao Xu, and the other hid behind Zhao Xu, for fear of being squeezed into the general. Behind them are a few big men, and they don't need to look at this son, but he is either rich or expensive.

Just at these big men, people unconsciously dodged a road.

Zhao Ji didn't expect that there would be so many people who came to see the public trial today. He didn't dare to stay longer, and walked into the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion with two children.

In the lobby, the front is a hardwood desk, today the lobby is different from usual, there are a few chairs on the left and right sides of the lobby are reserved for officials such as Dali Temple and the Ministry of Officials who came to hear the trial today.

Under the lobby, a fence was used to create a quarantine area, and there were more than two dozen chairs inside. Now there are a few people sitting here and there on the chairs, all holding the transcribed complaint in their hands and watching the case.

A depressed person walked up to Zhao Ji and asked, "May I ask that member of the jury." ”

Zhao Ji finally managed to get a place on the jury, and he was not joking. After all, he is the emperor, and if he sits in the position above the lobby to hear the trial, then this public trial will still be restrained. Sitting in the middle of the jury in plain clothes, he can not only watch this matter like a bystander, but also listen to what the common people have to say.

Yang Jian hurriedly said and blocked the hand pointing at Zhao Ji with his sleeve: "This, Zhao Gongzi." ”

The official didn't think much about it, and when he heard that the young man's surname was Zhao, he must be a relative of the emperor, but there were too many people who came here to see the public trial today: "Please come here, please" said and pointed to the twenty or so seats.

Yang Jian and Concubine De were just about to follow, but the official stretched out his hand to stop the two people: "The two of you stay." ”

"But we are here with Zhao Gongzi!" Yang Jian looked at Concubine De, no matter what he said, he had to find a seat for Concubine De.

"Stand outside the hall and wait!" The official is not polite, the people who came today are all heads and faces, everyone has an entourage, and there are already more than a dozen people standing outside this hall.

"This official, others can stand, and so can I, but this is the little boy with my son-in-law......" Yang Jian was still dealing with it.

"No one. When the emperor comes, everyone has to stand! ”

The official was stunned enough to speak, and many people wanted to follow in for half a day, and the official who asked three questions and two questions was annoyed.

Concubine De was depressed, she was familiar with dressing up in the morning, but the emperor had to wash off the rouge and gouache, and changed herself into such a subordinate clothes. Forget it, just stand. Let's see what the king's idea is, and what today's public trial looks like.

Zhao Ji looked back and couldn't help but smile. The people on the jury bench couldn't help but look back curiously. Most people don't know Zhao Ji, but it doesn't prevent someone here from knowing.

Ouyang Xiu put the complaint in his hand on the stool and greeted him in a few steps: "Holy ......"

Zhao Ji waved his hand at him: "There is not much time left, I didn't come late!" Mr. Ouyang has always been good? ”

Ouyang Xiu hurriedly said, "Okay, okay." Please take a seat! ”

As soon as he made Zhao Xiu like this, the people around him were all strange, who made Ouyang Xiu so respectful.

Zhao Ji sat down next to Ouyang Xiu, and the people of the jury who didn't have much effort arrived one after another, and looked at it with their spare eyes, they were all gentry and scholars, and there were some female dependents. Among them, there are also three or five cloth cloth people, but most of them are a little educated among the people, and they seem to be more civilized, unlike those who sell meat and vegetables on the street. On the contrary, these people are particularly conspicuous, and they dare not come out when they are sitting in danger.

There was a commotion in the lobby, and officials from various ministries came out of the back of the lobby.

These people don't have to enter through the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and after they come, they go to the council hall behind the lobby first, and wait until the time of the opening of the hall to walk up together. Zhao Ji saw that Yin Li Shen of Kaifeng Mansion was sitting behind the public case, and several officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Officials arrived. Xu Zun, the former prefect of Dengzhou, who was newly transferred to Dali Temple, also came, and his side was Wang Anshi.

Then the officials on both sides stood up, and Li Shen announced that the trial of Ayun would now begin. There was an instant silence in the lobby.

"Holy Lord, who are you looking for?" Ouyang Xiu's very small voice asked in Zhao Ji's ear?

Zhao Ji shook his head, and Ouyang Xiu also shook his head. for they did not see the king.

Li Shen announced that he would lead someone to commit Ah Yun. Ah Yun had already been brought out of prison, and he would have walked in from the west side of the lobby. She was handcuffed and shackled, and everyone looked at her in unison as she listened to the sound of clattering.

Seeing Ah Yun, Zhao Ji couldn't help frowning, and even the officials of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department in the hall were a little surprised.

The woman looked petite, with her hair shaggy and disheveled, her face terrified, and the thick iron shackles did not seem to be in harmony with her thin figure, as if her whole body was about to be dragged down by it.

Don't look at this case so famous, but many of the officials in the lobby have only seen the complaint and have not seen Ah Yun himself, and many people are surprised, how could such a weak woman kill someone?

This kind of question spread out in everyone's hearts, and the eyes of Ah Yun on the jury bench were curious, sympathetic, and puzzled.

The officials in the lobby knocked on the ruthless stick of water and fire, and drank the power of the hall. Although Ah Yun has seen this formation several times, there are so many people here this time, and she knows that it is related to her life and death, so she shiveres unconsciously. As soon as his knees weakened, Ah Yun knelt under the hall, and before he could say anything, tears fell down his eyes. Because she saw Xu Zun coming, this Xu Governor has been fighting for herself from beginning to end.

Xu Zun is a clean official, and everyone in Dengzhou knows it; Xu Zun can think about the people, and the people of Dengzhou know better. This prefect came out of Mi Zhenji in the face of floods; Yixing water conservancy irrigated a lot of fertile land, and the people of Dengzhou erected a stone monument for him.

Maybe this case fell into the hands of someone else, and Ah Yun had already landed on the ground, but Xu Zun had been helping Ah Yun fight for a chance to live. Thinking of this, how could Ah Yun not cry?

"Who is kneeling in the hall?"

"Dengzhou girl, Ah Yun."

"What's the crime?"

"The perpetrator murdered his husband!"

"When the mourning period of Dengzhou female Ayun was not completed after her mother's death, she was ruled by the elder and engaged to a man surnamed Wei. But Ah Yun thought he was ugly, so he took advantage of the fact that he was sleeping alone in the field house at night and brought a knife to kill him. Because of Ah Yun's small strength, more than ten knives failed to hack him to death, and only one of his fingers was cut off. ”

After Ah Yun's series of charges were read, Li Shen was shocked: "Ah Yun, what do you have to say?!" ”

Ah Yun remembered that a son saw her yesterday and told her what to do, she endured her grievances and fear, and said in a low voice: "I have nothing to say!" ”

"Ahh There was an uproar on the jury, and the prisoners I saw in the past were crying and crying, but this little girl didn't defend herself at all, admitting the fact that she had murdered? Isn't this waiting to find death?

Zhao Ji knew in his heart that this matter was not in the fact of Ah Yun's crime, but in how to determine it. This must be someone who gave Ah Yun advice on what to do today, if this will make Ah Yun start to argue, then there will be no way to make the final decision later.

But when the little girl cried, she didn't defend her grievances, but made her feel a little more sympathetic.

Li Shen saw that the case was going on so far, and now he was waiting for the verdict, he announced: "Dengzhou Ayun case, the facts of the case are clear, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Officials sentenced Ayun to death......"

"It's too ruthless!" Someone on the jury muttered, and Zhao Ji saw that it was the cloth clothes.

Li Shen continued: "The prefect of Dengzhou believes that Ah Yun has surrendered voluntarily and should be dealt with leniently to avoid the death penalty!" Now, in the ruling of this case, I ask Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to explain their views, and at the same time, I ask Li Zun, the prefect of Dengzhou, to explain their views on leniency. ”

The officials of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Officials looked at each other, and Li Zun got up and said: "I am the former prefect of Dengzhou, but I am now in Dali Temple." In this case, I can't do it for Dali Temple and the Criminal Department. I can also speak as the prefect of Dengzhou, and I ask to recuse myself from this case! ”

Ah Yun was looking forward to Li Zun speaking for herself, but when she heard Li Zun's words, she couldn't hold back anymore and cried with a wow.

"Silence!"

Everyone's eyes looked at Sima Guang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who stood up and walked into the lobby: "Let me make a statement from the Criminal Department: According to the provisions of the "Song Criminal System", when murdering a person, 'there is an injury to the person, and there is no case of surrender'. Moreover, Ah Yun deliberately murdered her husband, which is a heinous crime and should be executed! . ”

After Sima Guang finished speaking, there was silence in the hall, he was right, who can defend Ayu with "Song Criminal Unity"?
