Chapter 173: Trial of Zhou Tai

And the party on the other side, Yan Chongli, also looked extremely gloomy at this moment. He went to visit King Jin last night, but he had to be closed! He went to visit the two elders who were usually extremely respectful, but they also did not get in. In desperation, he went to meet a few clans that usually made good friends, and although he entered, he also talked about him left and right, flashing words!

This night, Yan Chongli ran a lot of places, but he didn't get any useful news at all, and the eunuchs in the palace seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, and no news came out at all. Now, all of a sudden, he felt like a boat tossed in the waves, ready to capsize at any moment!

His eyes flickered, his eyes coldly scanned the pale white drapery, and his eyes were full of resentment and resentment.

"Since you are all unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

Yan Chongli's chest rose and fell violently, his fists were clenched, his face twitched lightly and he roared as if talking to himself, and then his eyes turned to the opposite curtain, he seemed to be able to see Zhou Qi's pretty face like a flower and jade, and he was currying favor with Fu Mingzheng.

Yan Chongli's eyes widened, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, his teeth were gritted loudly, and he whispered hoarsely, "Even if I die, I will pull you up!" ”

Wei Qiao sat under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, looking at Yan Song below with awe-inspiring eyes, but his heart was always ready to deal with the difficulties of people on both sides. He knows that the key today is not how to try the case, but how to deal with people on both sides. Although the emperor promoted this turmoil, the purpose may be to purge the court, but it is not excluded that he is testing him.

Yu Guang glanced around, Wang Yuanhui's expression was faint, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Zhong Qi's expression was solemn, sitting upright, Yan Chongli's eyes were cold, and his expression was resentful, as for Qin Yun and the others, their faces were full of worry.

Wei Qiao didn't investigate what the worries in their hearts were, his eyes fell on Yan Song again, and said, "Yan Song, are you guilty?" ”

Today's trial is not simple, this Yan Song is the daughter of the eldest princess, the eldest princess is the emperor's biological daughter, and she has an ambiguous relationship with Fu Mingzheng. But the emperor, Fu Mingzheng and Wei Qiao are inextricably linked, and the grace is higher than the sky!

Yan Song's body trembled, and he hurriedly cried: "Guilt, guilt, I know everything, and please spare your life, spare your life......"

- He was frightened.

He remembered that a county king was killed a few years ago, that was the county king, the emperor's own nephew, much more noble than his unpopular grandson, and he killed it when he said it!

Wei Qiao nodded indifferently and said, "Okay, come here, bring Fu Yang, Fu Qingyao!" ”

"Take Fu Yang and Fu Qingyao ......"

There was a loud echo outside the hall, but there was a sudden silence in the room. This kind of stillness is not the kind of stillness on the surface just now, but the current kind of stillness in everyone's heart. The lobby, which was already full of air-conditioning, made people get goosebumps more and more at this moment.

Soon, Fu Yang and Fu Qingyao were brought up. Both of them had angry faces, and their bodies were still tightly tied.

As soon as the two appeared, the tense atmosphere in the room became even colder.

Everyone knows that the show is now the official gong.

Fu Li slowly opened his eyes, looked at Fu Yang and Fu Qingyao, his old and loose eyes suddenly opened, stared at the two of them, and slowly sat up straight.

Almost everyone was staring at Fu Li at this moment, and now when they saw him sitting up straight, everyone's hearts jumped. Fu Li has been looking forward to more than 20 years, and in the court, he is a decisive figure who kills with his words. Now that his son and sister are tied up in the lobby in front of him, this slap is really spicy and loud!

Takasaki and the lockdown glanced at each other, and his face was solemn and slightly frowned. The existence of the two of them is to play the role of checking and balancing Fu Li, but now this situation makes them feel a little tricky.

And Yu Dongcheng was sweating profusely at this time, his mouth was dry, and he panicked in his heart. He knew that no one could protect him now, not even the emperor!

Zhou Qi didn't know when he had walked into the emperor's golden curtain, and looked at Zhou Yanzhao with teary eyes, looking pitiful and helpless who was bullied.

Zhou Yanzhao stared at the lobby with both eyes, staring at the two people who were bound, his eyes suddenly became intense, but he immediately frowned slightly and immediately retreated, his eyes turned to Fu Li, his eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded thoughtfully.

The queen glanced at Zhou Qi, and her eyes also looked at Zhou Yanzhao with an inquiry.

Zhou Yanzhao waved his hand and said with some displeasure: "Let's take a look first." ”

The queen nodded, her eyes swept down the hall, and then looked at Wei Qiao, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Wei Qiao looked at the two people who walked in, and said lightly, "You two are inconvenient, you can not kneel, the official asks you, do you know the people in the hall?" ”

The two already knew the situation, but there were not many surprises. Although Fu Yang tried his best to pretend to be indifferent, his legs couldn't help but tremble a little, looking at the faint smile on the corner of Wei Qiao's mouth, he craned his neck and nodded stiffly.

Although Fu Yang is reserved and nervous, Xiao Pepper is a different matter. Seeing Yan Song, who was cowering, Little Pepper and Little Brute Boots immediately walked over, her pretty face was full of anger, she walked in front of Yan Song, kicked it hard, gritted her teeth and said, "This silver thief, if it weren't for Yunya pulling me, I would have castrated him a long time ago!" ”

As soon as Fu Qingyao's voice fell, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched slightly. If the emperor's grandson was castrated, the royal family would be disgraced.

Everyone's eyes drifted to the golden curtain, and anyone could imagine what kind of expression the emperor in the curtain would be.

Sure enough, when Zhou Qi heard this, her tears became even more tearful, and she sat next to the queen, sobbing silently.

The queen frowned slightly, although Zhou Qi was not born to her, but she had no children under her knees, so she was particularly fond of the emperor's children, looking at Zhou Qi like this, listening to Fu Qingyao's words, her face was also a little displeased.

"Your Majesty." The empress frowned slightly and whispered to the emperor.

Fu Qingyao said this sentence in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, didn't he deliberately make the royal family ugly?

Zhou Yanzhao's eyes looking at Fu Qingyao were also a little unkind, and he said lightly: "Don't worry." ”

When Zhou Qi heard this, a smile flashed in her teary eyes. The emperor's words mean that Yan Song is basically fine.

Wu Qingning, dressed in white, sat coldly on the side, and looked at the emperor and empress with a strange look in his eyes, as if he didn't understand their conversation.

Wei Qiao's eyes flashed with a smile, his eyes stared at Fu Qingyao sternly, he patted the shocked wood, and said in a deep voice: "Fu Qingyao, this is the lobby of Jinling Mansion, Hugh is presumptuous!" ”

Before Fu Qingyao could speak, the officials on both sides immediately knocked on the sticks and shouted, "...... Power...... Wu ......"

Fu Qingyao was taken aback, and Fu Yang took the opportunity to kick her and motioned her to stop talking.

Fu Qingyao glared at him angrily, not reassuring the intimidation of the officials on both sides, and said angrily: "Am I wrong, this kind of person, living is a scourge!" ”

Fu Yang smiled bitterly, he had never been Fu Qingyao's opponent, and it was really hard to argue with being snatched away by her.

Everyone's eyes now stopped on Wei Qiao.

If there is a scene in the lobby of Jinling Mansion where the emperor's grandson molests the first assistant sister or the first assistant sister castrates the emperor's grandson, it is estimated that the world will be shattered.

Wei Qiao couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, this case was not easy to deal with, and if this aunt made such a fuss, she would be finished without others doing it.

Wei Qiao looked at Fu Qingyao expressionlessly, and said, "If you talk nonsense again, this official will kick you out of the lobby!" ”

When Fu Qingyao heard this, her pretty eyes glared upward, her silver teeth clenched, and her tied hand moved, as if she was used to throwing a knife, but now that she was tied, she could only grit her teeth and glare at Wei Qiao angrily, like an angry little leopard, with some teeth and claws.

Fu Yang hurriedly kicked her quietly, Fu Qingyao's chest rose and fell, and Wei Qiao was condescending, so he had to turn his head and stare at Fu Yang hatefully, don't look over his head angrily, hold his little head high, and breathe fire with his pretty eyes. The hall full of adults is like air.

Wei Qiao saw that Xiao Pepper stopped talking, a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and he finally subdued her once.

Picking up the shocking wood, he was just about to ask Fu Yang a question, when suddenly there was a crowd of people at the gate, his hand stopped, and a servant hurriedly ran in, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, Zhou Tai brings it!" ”

Wei Qiao nodded lightly and said, "Bring it up." ”

"Yes!" The officer turned and departed.

The people sitting on the chairs on both sides flickered their eyes, and then nodded at each other's glances, and a series of plans were completed in a few breaths. And Wei Qiao also felt that the air was filled with the silence before the storm, and it was full of a sense of crisis.

Zhou Tai walked into the lobby of Jinling Mansion, if it was usual, he naturally didn't put Jinling Mansion in his eyes, but today is different, where he sees it, is the golden curtain. Daqi can be qualified to use this color, as long as one! On the side, there are all court officials above the fourth grade, and behind them are even more curtains and curtains, and the figures are sitting quietly!

Zhou Tai's heart was pounding, and fine sweat quietly came out on his head. But thinking of Luo Tong's words, I was a little sure in my heart. In his opinion, his mother has not spoken once.

Zhou Tai's eyelids kept jumping, but his expression was calm and walked towards the lobby.

When everyone saw it, they nodded secretly, the children of the royal family are really different, and their demeanor alone is enough to make people look high.

Wei Qiao also looked at Zhou Tai and smiled faintly in his heart. Although Tai is reckless in his stomach this week, he has been cultivated for many years, and his temperament is still much stronger than that of people in the market.

"Zhou Tai has seen adults." Zhou Tai held a folding fan in his hand and hugged his fist at Wei Qiao. Although he hated Wei Qiao very much, his face was still calm and indifferent.

Wei Qiao nodded and said, "Zhou Tai, this official asked you, have you ever made a bet with Yan Song on the shore of Mochou Lake about a woman in a restaurant?" ”

Zhou Tai glanced at Yan Song, hesitating. These people, these little means, are well known to each other, but they don't break it for fun.

Looking at Yan Song's appearance, Zhou Tai hesitated for a while and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

Wei Qiao glanced at Yan Song, and said, "Your purpose, but to maliciously instigate Yan Song to target the shopkeeper and aunt of Hongtai Building?" In fact, he also knew in his heart that Zhou Tai's purpose was aimed at him, but here, this kind of thing could not be pointed out.

Zhou Tai's face changed slightly, he glanced up at Wei Qiao, and saw that Wei Qiao's expression was faint and cold, and his heart trembled slightly. He has complicated grievances with Wei Qiao, and he is worried that Wei Qiao will take the opportunity to fall into the ground! Furrowing his brows, his eyes were scattered for a while, and the afterglow began to slowly search.

In the curtain on the left, Luo Tong, who was wearing a long black dress, frowned slightly, thinking of Wei Qiao's promise, glanced at the golden curtain again, and nodded lightly at Zhou Tai.

When Zhou Tai saw it, the big stone fell in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, I have some grievances with Hongtailou, so I want to make some trouble for them." ”

Wei Qiao nodded, looked at Yan Song, and said, "Yan Song, what Zhou Tai said is true, do you have anything to add?" ”

Yan Song looked at Zhou Tai, he didn't expect him to be so righteous that he actually resisted the responsibility, and immediately felt that he had made the right friend, glanced at him gratefully, turned to Wei Qiao and said, "My lord, it's true, it's true, there's nothing to add." ”

Wei Qiao nodded and said, "That's good, this official pronounced a sentence on Zhou Tai!" ”

When everyone in the lobby heard this, they were stunned. Isn't this case all about being judged after the trial? Why was it sentenced at the beginning?

"Zhou Tai listens to the verdict!" Wei Qiao slapped the shocked wood and said in a deep voice.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Power...... Wu ......"

"Wait!"

As soon as the actions of the officials on both sides began, a voice suddenly sounded in the lobby.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the person who spoke.

The corners of Wei Qiao's mouth curled slightly, and he finally came.

At the back of the right, a figure slowly stood up.

The emperor and empress, Fu Li Luotong, almost everyone's eyes were staring at the person who stood up. This man was the first to stand up, and everyone understood that the excitement was about to begin.

Wei Qiao looked up and said lightly, "Oh, what does Lord Yuan have to say?" ”

-- The person who stood up was none other than Dali Siqing, Yuan Zhe.

Yuan Zhe stood calmly in the lobby, completely ignoring those seemingly nonchalant gazes, and said lightly: "Lord Wei, Yuan has a question, why is he in a hurry to announce the verdict before the case is cleared?" ”

He is a Dali temple secretary and an expert in adjudicating cases. The words he asked were also simple and clear, without the slightest insinuation, just like a persistent master of trial, fair and peaceful questioning, completely out of the case itself, without any intention of asking for trouble.

As soon as his words fell, everyone leaned in and whispered to each other, looking at each other from a distance, and their eyes were full of smiles that knew each other.

Wang Yuanhui raised his head slightly, looking at the corner of Wei Qiao's mouth and sneering, Yuan Zhe's question was appropriate, and no one could pick out it! Now, it's up to Wei Qiao to deal with it, as long as there is a little flaw, everyone will attack it in groups!

'Hey, I'm still too young, although I'm calm on the surface, I'm definitely nervous in my heart, hey, I'm still impatient......

"If you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things firmly, the old saying is really honest and I don't deceive, this Wei Qiao is only in his early twenties, how can he know how to try cases?"

'When Lord Yuan asked this, this Wei Qiao must be speechless, hey, Fu Ge Lao has seen the wrong person again......

"Hey, Yuan Zhe is quite easy to deal with, I hope this Wei Qiao can carry it......

Inside the golden curtains, inside the pale white curtains, on the tables and chairs on both sides of the pillars, everyone stared at Wei Qiao with burning eyes, expectation, cold crumbs, calmness, and schadenfreude, all thinking about how Wei Qiao would respond.

Wei Qiao smiled faintly, his eyes swept around, looked at Yuan Zhe and wondered: "Lord Yuan, does the world try cases, and they must be the same as Dali Temple?" In the trial of the case under the holy decree, it is natural that it will not stick to the clichΓ©. If the adult thinks that there is a problem with the trial of the lower official, how about the lower official abdicate and let the virtuous? ”

Yuan Zhe was stunned, and his eyes flashed with anger. Although Wei Qiao's words were beautiful, there was a faint hint in his words that he accused the emperor of not knowing anyone!

Yuan Zhe quietly glanced at the golden curtain that was motionless, frowned slightly, and then said calmly: "Lord Wei's words are wrong, the lower official just asked a question, and he has no other thoughts." It is true that each adult has a different way of trying the case, but the article is there, it has been tempered for hundreds of years, and the truth does not need to be said, I believe that Lord Wei can also understand it. ”

Yuan Zhe is also an old eunuch, how could he be at a loss by Wei Qiao's words, and immediately returned a sentence, even eliminated it, blocked Wei Qiao's words and fought back again! And this sentence is still quite deadly!

Each yamen has its own procedures, and these procedures have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, just like rules. Whoever wants to break the rules has to face these rules!

Everyone's eyes are looking at Wei Qiao, everyone understands this truth, and everyone wants to see how Wei Qiao responds?

Wei Qiao nodded, looked at him thoughtfully, and said: "I understand below, but I also hope that Lord Yuan understands that in the next order to try the case, the first thing I want to do is to live up to the emperor's grace, as for Tiao Chen, that is my reference, but it is not necessary to follow, this point, I hope Lord Yuan can understand!" ”

When Yuan Zhe heard this, he was immediately suffocated.

The emperor of heaven and earth is the biggest, he can move Chen to suppress Weiqiao, but the emperor is supreme and inviolable! His mind turned seventeen or eighteen times at once, but he didn't find a single idea.

The people on both sides were also speechless for a while, although Wei Qiao's words seemed to be clever and quibble, but they just couldn't refute it. As long as he refutes it, Wei Qiao will definitely be covered with a big hat, even if he takes it down on the spot, it is estimated that no one is willing to risk offending the emperor to save him!

The emperor in the golden curtain glanced at the empress with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded quietly.

Wei Qiao glanced at the people on both sides, holding the startled wood, and asked, "Lord Yuan, do you still have a teaching?" ”

Yuan Zhe frowned slightly, and said a little unwillingly: "No, Lord Wei, please continue." After speaking, he retreated with a gloomy face.

Wei Qiao looked at Zhou Tai, patted the shocked wood, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Tai listens to the judgment!" ”

Zhou Tai's body trembled, swallowed his saliva, and bowed down and said, "Zhou Tai is here." ”

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused, staring at Wei Qiao. It is conceivable that no matter what Wei Qiao's sentence is, as soon as Wei Qiao's voice falls, everyone will come like poisonous snakes, spraying poisonous water all over the sky.

Wei Qiao took a deep breath, and said with an awe-inspiring face: "Zhou Tai! You had malicious intentions and instigated Yan Song to deliberately make trouble, which led to a series of incidents in Hongtai Building, and the losses were huge! Now, this official has announced the verdict and sentenced you to five times the fine for the loss of Hongtai Building, twice the compensation for Hongtai Building, and three times the confiscation, do you have any objections?! ”

It's not that Wei Qiao doesn't want to teach Zhou Tai a good lesson, it's just that Zhou Tai's role in this matter has played a role at the beginning, and the next series of things basically have nothing to do with him, and Zhou Tai has a special relationship, so he can't be closed or beaten, so it can be regarded as a compromise.

"I'm against it!"

"I'm against it!"

"I'm against it!"

As soon as Wei Qiao's voice fell, suddenly, three voices of opposition sounded one after another!
