507.Chapter 523
The Criminal Department arrested Gong Ji in Kushilang, and only one day after he was imprisoned in the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department brought forward Gong Ji for a preliminary trial by Shangguanyi, the left attendant of the Criminal Department.
As Guo Ye expected, Gong Ji's butt himself was not clean, and even he himself did not know how much pickled things he had done in the treasury of the Ministry of War, and how much black-hearted silver he had collected.
In the preliminary trial hall of the Criminal Department, Shangguan Yi, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, relied on the account book carefully prepared by Gu Weiyong and Master Mu, coupled with the bluffing and deception and small torture to extract a confession at the behest of the eldest grandson Wuji, and actually made Gong Ji confess to the crimes of perverting the law for bribes and making money under false pretenses.
In the first trial court, Shangguan Yi effortlessly took Gong Ji down, signed and put him in prison.
Now that Gong Ji has pleaded guilty, the charges of reselling weapons and armor to foreign countries in the military department have become unimportant, and they are dispensable.
Regardless of whether Gong Ji pleads guilty or not, it is difficult for him to escape the charges of perverting the law and accepting bribes, and Shangguanyi's task is to get Gong Ji to confess in the first instance of the Criminal Department, and send him to the Dali Temple Court for trial by the three divisions for conviction.
The rest of the matter basically has nothing to do with him.
As soon as the preliminary trial was over, the eldest grandson Wuji began to speed up his entry into the city, and sent someone to the Criminal Department to take Gong Ji, transfer him and detain him in the prison of Dali Temple.
Those who can be imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple are either court officials above the fifth grade, or relatives of the emperor, which is not the treatment that ordinary criminals can enjoy.
The eldest grandson Wuji is the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, and the entire Dali Temple is not his protΓ©gΓ©, or an official of their Tiance Mansion.
Therefore, for imprisoning Gong Ji in Dali Temple, it is exactly what the eldest grandson Wuji is looking forward to, at least in Dali Temple, he wants to do something to cover the sky with one hand, without external constraints.
There are still two days before the triage of the three divisions composed of the Dali Temple of the Imperial History Tai Criminal Department, and on this day, the eldest grandson Wuji invited the founder of the country to come to the eldest grandson's mansion and talked about it.
After talking about each other, that night the founding uncle Chang He went to Dali Temple with wine and meat, and went to visit his brother-in-law Gong Ji in the prison of Dali Temple.
At this time, Gong Ji enjoyed the treatment of a single family in the prison, although the shackles were removed, but the shackles on his feet were still locked, and he walked in the cell as a sound.
Gong Ji is less than forty years old, and he should be in the prime of his officialdom career, how can he not figure out how he could not figure out how he was still living a life in the treasury a few days ago, and the days of his subordinates crowding, but today he has been imprisoned.
He thinks that his backstage is hard enough, and what should be done has already been done, how can he still fall into such a field?
is greedy for money in the officialdom, and he Gong Ji believes that he is not the first person who dares to eat crabs, and he is by no means the most insatiable one.
One year in the Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, thousands of miles of officials are only for money, how many officials in the Tang Dynasty are not greedy?
There are also people who are as honest as water, and Gong Ji has seen a lot, but he believes that greed and wealth are not the real reason why he fell into such a field.
Thinking about it, Gong Ji leaned against the cracked dirt wall of the cell, and muttered bitterly to himself: "Could it be that Gong has offended some great character?" β
However, Gong Ji is optimistic, he thinks that in the Tang Dynasty officialdom, there are more officials like him than Jiang Zhiqing, if this is all about beheading, there is no telling how many officials' heads will be cut off.
He thought that when the time came, he would sell the mansion and Yamada in the seller's house, and then pay all the Tibetan silver in the mansion to the household department, and finally let his emperor and the brother-in-law of the former big red man Chang He operate a little, should not be guilty to death, right?
A little lighter, the dismissal of the official position will never be used, and the common people will become commoners; The heaviest is just a 3,000-mile exile, assigned to Qiongzhou Island, and when he gets there, he takes the silver to make a dot, and becomes a rich man who buys thousands of acres of land and keeps slaves and concubines, and it is not impossible.
Thinking about it, Gong Ji actually smiled on his face, and his beauty fluttered......
"Hmph, do you still have the heart to laugh here?"
An angry word came into Gong Ji's ears, and he suddenly woke up and looked outside the cell, and the person who came turned out to be his brother-in-law Chang He.
Gong Ji looked at his brother-in-law Chang He wearing civilian clothes and carrying a bamboo basket with food in his hand, and in an instant, boundless grievances came to his heart, and he choked up and exclaimed: "Brother-in-law, I am wronged!" β
"Wronged your mother's head!"
Chang He reprimanded again, and then motioned to the jailer next to him to open the cell door and get in.
As soon as he entered the cell, the sour and rancid smell came to his nose, Chang He subconsciously covered his nose, put the bamboo basket on the ground, and fanned the void with one hand, driving away the strange smell of the cell.
Chang He is not only Gong Ji's backstage and backer, but also Gong Ji's only life-saving straw now, so Gong Ji only trembled at Chang He, and stood in front of Chang He without saying a word.
Chang He walked to a haystack in the cell, sat down, pointed to the bamboo basket, and shouted, "Eat, eat a full meal!" β
When Gong Ji heard this, he immediately turned sad and squatted on the ground, tearing off the piece of flower cloth covered by the bamboo basket, good guy, it was really rich, there were chickens and ducks, fish and meat in the bamboo basket, and a pot of good wine, Gong Ji touched the body of the pot and it was still warm.
Suddenly feeling excited, Gong Ji broke off a chicken leg from a roast chicken, stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word, and said inarticulate while biting the chicken leg: "Or my brother-in-law feels sorry for me, could it be that these drinks and dishes are all made by my sister, let you bring them in for me, brother-in-law?" β
Chang He watched Gong Ji eat with his mouth full of oil, and said softly: "That's right, your sister made it." Your sister is a woman, and she can't come to the big scene, so this decapitated meal can only be delivered by my brother-in-law! Alas......"
"Ha, I'll just say that my brother-in-law feels sorry for me! Yes??? β
Let's chirp~
Gong Ji's hand slipped, the chicken leg fell off his hand and fell to the ground, this guy looked frightened and trembled his lips, and shouted, "What? Break... Head... Rice? Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what the hell is going on? You're going to save me! β
"Save you?"
Chang He smiled self-deprecatingly and said coldly, "How can I save you?" I have already taught you, let you be restrained, let you keep a low profile, let you be kind to others, now it's good, you actually stabbed the big basket, how can I save you? β
Where can Gong Ji care about eating and drinking at this time? Shaking his head again and again, he shouted in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, I won't die for my crimes, brother-in-law!" You are the founding uncle, you are the promotion of His Majesty, you are a good envoy when you speak, brother-in-law!! β
"Lao Tzu is a little founding uncle, it's a fart!!"
Chang He got up suddenly and scolded angrily: "If you don't grow up, how can I save you from trouble?" It's not that I won't save you now, but someone wants to turn your case into a big case, and they want you to die without a place to bury! β
Bang!
Gong Ji sat on the ground with his buttocks, ignoring the pain, crawled to Chang He like a wild dog, hugged his right leg, and shouted: "Who, who, who? Brother-in-law, who is it that wants to kill me like this? β
Chang He condescendingly looked down and sneered at his brother-in-law, and said in a cold voice: "Who? Hehe, it's too much...... Listen up......"
"Eldest grandson Wuji!"
"Fang Xuanling!"
"Gao Shilian!"
ββ
"The ministers of the Tiance Mansion will make your case an iron case and a big case. Gong Ji, you will definitely die! β
Gong Ji hugged Chang He's thighs, trembling like chaff, every time Chang He pronounced a name, he naturally muttered a sentence in his mouth: "No injustice and no hatred, why?" β
After Chang He finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, and shouted: "Brother-in-law, I have no grievances with them, why do they want to hold on to me?" β
"Alas, Gong Ji, who made you happen to be Feng Deyi's protΓ©gΓ© again? If the ministers of Tiance Mansion don't seize this braid and beat up the old ministers of Wude, then it will be called a missed opportunity! β
Chang He said the true meaning in one sentence, and Gong Ji immediately came to his senses, and shouted with a crying voice: "Brother-in-law, are you saying that the Tiance Mansion is going to make a fuss about me and chase after the old Wude ministers?" Oh my God, why am I so unlucky? Feng Deyi, that old ghost, damn his mother, killed me! Woo......oo Brother-in-law, you have to save me, you can't let my sister lose her own brother, you can't let my Gong family die! β
Chang He saw that Gong Ji was speechless and on the verge of collapse, and immediately turned his voice to soft: "Gong Ji, don't say that I'm a brother-in-law who won't help you, I'll help you show you the way." In fact, whether you are dead or alive is all up to your own thoughts! β
"Huh?"
Gong Ji immediately stopped crying, his eyes were full of anticipation, and while wiping away his tears, he stood up and hugged Chang He's arm tightly, for fear that his life-saving straw would run away.
I couldn't wait to ask: "Brother-in-law, please show me a way to live, as long as I can live, I am willing to do anything, brother-in-law, brother-in-law......"
Chang He listened to Gong Ji's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but float a trace of curvature that Gong Ji had never discovered, but it was fleeting, and in a blink of an eye, he had a look of hatred that iron could not be made of steel, poked Gong Ji's forehead heavily, and said in a hateful voice:
"You unassuming dog, please have more snacks in the future. There is a way to live, although it can't let you continue to be an official in the court, but at least let you get rid of the capital crime and return to your hometown to be a squire on the rich side. β
"Brother-in-law, what are you waiting for? Say, say, let's die, hurry up......"
A few days,
Gong Ji has a world of difference from heaven to hell.
And at the moment when Chang He said that sentence just now,
Gong Ji has a full sense of happiness from hell to heaven again.
In his eyes,
Alive, better than anything else.
In his opinion,
It's a fucking good feeling to have escaped death!
Weeping with joy,
Chang He hadn't pointed out the way to live, but he lit the lamp in Gong Ji's heart, and suddenly, two lines of tears quietly slipped out of his eyes.
Chang He looked at the ** appearance of this guy, and couldn't help but secretly shake his head in disappointment, and sighed lamentingly, he was really said by the eldest grandson, my brother-in-law is also out of this point, not only can he not become a big climate, if he continues to be an official in the court, it will definitely be a curse or a blessing, and the day when my Chang family will be affected is not far away.
Gong Ji, I can't complain that your brother-in-law lied to you just now!
