Chapter 53 Party Disputes Mislead the Country

"This ......"

Hearing Yue Su's question, Duan Zhanpeng was dumbfounded for a while, squeaked, and came out with a word in half a day.

"What? What else do you have to hide? Yue Su stared at him and asked coldly.

"I ...... This...... My lord...... The owner of the gambling house...... Truly...... Be...... Wei Guang ......." Duan Zhanpeng looked embarrassed, and he slurred, and it took him half a day to get a straight sentence out.

With his expression, with Yue Su's experience in judging cases, how could he not be found to be lying. immediately sank his face and shouted: "Duan Zhanpeng instructed others to murder Ma Wuzi's life, and now he has confessed and should be beheaded according to the law." The department holds three knives, which can be cut first and then played. Come on, the dog-headed is waiting! ”

The dog head was originally in the main hall of Shuntian Mansion, but Yue Su knew that during the trial, it was very likely that he would scare people, so he had already asked people to move to the back hall. Now with an order, Tie Qiu agreed, took the messenger, and moved the dog's head to the bottom of the stairs.

Yue Su got up, chōu out of the lot, and shouted loudly: "Open the guillotine!" ”

Iron Qiu skillfully ripped off the yellow satin and pulled the guillotine up, the bright guillotine shining in the candlelight.

When Duan Zhanpeng saw the bright sword light, he was so frightened that he shuddered, and hurriedly shouted, "My lord...... You're just not ...... As long as someone answers your questions truthfully...... Do you just spare someone's life......"

"That's how the ministry has been, but your answer, who can prove it to be true? Tell you, the ministry is not stupid, now I will give you one last chance, you give me again, the owner of Daikin Casino, is it Wei Guang? Yue Su glared at Duan Zhanpeng with a cold gaze.

Duan Zhanpeng was stared at by him with a "máo" all over his body, trembling, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence, "Big, adult...... The owner of the casino...... Truly...... It is indeed Wei Guangwei, ......"

"Humph! Tieqiu, what are you waiting for? Yue Su gave Tie Qiu a look of 'sè', and Tie Qiu immediately ordered the messenger to press Duan Zhanpeng under the knife.

"Your Excellency...... ...... It's really true...... "The person was pressed on the body of the 'dog', and Duan Zhanpeng was about to cry in fright.

But this was just an appetizer, Yue Su stared at him, and said again: "Duan Zhanpeng, since you want to pretend to be confused in front of the ministry, then don't blame the ministry for pretending to be confused!" Guillotine! ”

Yue Su let out a loud shout, and the fire stick in his palm flew out.

Cutting the lot to the ground is equivalent to the head landing. Duan Zhanpeng understood this truth, Yue Su came to the real thing, Duan Zhanpeng hurriedly shouted: "Slow, slow, I'm ...... I ......"

"Smack!"

By the time he had finished speaking, the slash had just fallen to the ground. Tie Qiu asked Yue Su for the meaning of the adult, Yue Su was also to scare and scare people, he didn't want to really cut it, and he was happy to see Duan Zhanpeng willing to move. But Yue Su still had a calm face and said, "What else do you want?" If they still try to deceive the ministry, don't blame them for doing it! ”

"People will never dare to deceive adults this time...... It was ....... Wei Guang who gave 10,000 taels of silver...... It's so ...... He also ...... His uncle was the second assistant of the dynasty...... If I don't listen to him...... I want the whole family's "xìng" life ......"

Wei Guang's side is just a threat, but Yue Su's side really wants to cut it, Duan Zhanpeng pondered it, or first paste nòng in front of him.

"If you are honest, now tell the ministry in detail about how Wei Guang bought you off and intimidated you, from beginning to end." Yue Su said loudly.

"Yes, yes......"

It's all up to this, Duan Zhanpeng no longer has the courage to hide it, and he buys Wei Guang through his own affairs one by one.

It turned out that on the first night of Wei Guangwei's case, Wei Guang rushed into Duan Zhanpeng's house with several black-robed people, and Duan Zhanpeng's family also had a few thugs, but compared to the people brought by Wei Guang, they were simply vulnerable. Duan Zhanpeng was first lightly repaired, and then Wei Guang took out the silver and asked Duan Zhanpeng to do what he was told. The thing to do is very simple, no matter who asks, you can just Daikin Casino is my Wei Guang. Wei Guang also revealed his identity in front of Duan Zhanpeng and warned him that if he was not honest, he would take the life of his whole family. With both a slap and a sweet date, how could Duan Zhanpeng not give in. So, in the evening of the same day, I made an account and waited for the summons of the criminal department at any time.

After listening to Duan Zhanpeng's story, Yue Su nodded and said, "Let him sign and draw!" ”

The clerk's office took the recorded testimony, Duan Zhanpeng signed and finished the detention, and Yue Su asked someone to put him in prison. The ruffians who were brought tonight, as well as the people from the Dajin Gambling House, were all temporarily imprisoned. Only talk about the release of Ma Wuzi's family.

As soon as the matter was handled, there was a report from the servants, and Li Gongzi arrived. Because Yue Su had already instructed, if someone came, they didn't have to pass it on, just lead it directly to the back hall. Li Yuanchen had now arrived at the entrance of the back hall, and just waited for Yue Su to ask, and then walked in.

Yue Su sent everyone down, leaving only Li Yuanchen. The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Li Yuanchen said: "Brother-in-law, the things you told me to investigate have now been found out." ”

"The result?" Yue Su hurriedly asked.

"Some of the intentions that my brother-in-law wants to investigate are theirs, and some are not. In terms of the amount of money made, there is not as much as theirs. I have made a detailed summary here, brother-in-law, please take a look. Li Yuanchen took out a booklet from his arms and presented it to Yue Su.

Yue Su took it and looked at it, the records in the booklet were indeed detailed, and even the process of listening to the truth was clearly written. For example, the owner of this restaurant is the cousin of Feng Quan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, which can be regarded as a real deal. It's just that you can't earn the so-called 300,000 taels of silver all year round, and it's good to earn 20,000 yuan. Li Yuanchen sent someone to inquire about the accurate news from the restaurant's account room, and the account books were newly made, just to make a fool of the court trial. And Li Yuanchen was able to ask the truth from the mouth of the tent, of course, relying on silver and intimidation.

The situation of other shops is similar, everything is already well understood, and the trial will be held tomorrow, and it is estimated that the case will be finalized without much effort.

This night, Yue Su didn't go to sleep, because just trying the case, he was already busy outside the third watch, and then he opened the booklet sent by Li Yuanchen, and inadvertently, the sky was already dawning.

Yue Su put the booklet into his cuffs, washed up as usual, had breakfast, and took a sedan chair to the court.

In the afternoon, I got off the sedan chair, first went to the court room to wait, and now the court room is already distinct. The eunuch party faction sat inside, the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang sat outside, and the non-party officials sat in the middle.

The Jingyang bell rang, and the hundred officials went to the Huangji Hall to go to court. On both sides, the emperor arrived, and when Carpenter Zhu walked to the dragon case and sat down, the hundred officials bowed down to say goodbye, and the mountain shouted long live.

"The Qing's family is flat."

With the voice of Carpenter Zhu, the hundred officials straightened their bodies, and then a eunuch shouted: "There is an early recital for class, and there is no curtain to retreat!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, Wei Zhongxian, who was under the emperor's hand, bowed down and said, "Minister Wei Zhongxian has!" ”

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty called themselves slaves in front of the emperor, and those who were older and had a little status could call themselves old slaves in front of the emperor. And when you become a high-ranking eunuch such as the celebrant eunuch and the eunuch of the pen, you are qualified to be a minister.

Wei Zhongxian naturally has the qualifications to be a minister in front of the emperor, but this is a different occasion, in the palace, he still has to be a slave and maid, and he can only be called a minister when he plays in the court and talks about national affairs.

Hearing that Wei Zhongxian had it, Carpenter Zhu was stunned at first. Wei Qing has always been honest, above the court, he speaks little, rarely talks about state affairs, generally comes, what is the matter, just run to the Yang Xin Palace to Chen Song, why is it above the temple today, on Chen Zhang?

"Wei Qing, I don't know what you're doing?"

"Your Majesty, the minister received news last night that the White Lotus Sect and bandits had recently started an incident in Shandong, and asked the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible and take precautions in advance, so as not to catch the court off guard when the bandits do 'luàn'." Wei Zhongxian bowed and said.

"Huh?" Hearing that someone was going to rebel, Carpenter Zhu was shocked and lost "sè", and hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty Chenqi......" Gu Bingqian, the first assistant to the cabinet, was the first to come out and said: "Gonggong Wei has always been conscientious and conscientious, and the news sent by Dongchang is definitely true. The minister thought that the soldiers and horses of Zhili, Henan, and Shanxi should be transferred to the Shandong border as soon as possible to be stationed on the border of Shandong, and beware of the rebellion of the bandits. Second, the trial of the cases of Wei Cifu and Feng Shangshu should be suspended, and a decision should be made after the bandits are exterminated. Because Wei Cifu and Feng Shangshu are all important figures in the DPRK, once the charges are confirmed, it is inevitable that the government and the opposition will be shaken, and the people will be panicked. At that time, the bandits took the opportunity to make 'luàn', and the consequences were unpredictable. ”

This was the last idea that Wei Zhongxian and Gu Bingqian came up with last night, to stop the case first, so that the imperial court could go all out to deal with the bandits. On the day of the great victory, the dragon's heart will inevitably be happy, Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and it is estimated that there is a good chance that Wei Guangwei and them will be fished out.

However, this is just their wishful thinking, and now that Wei Guangwei and other eunuch backbones are already in prison, they will all be convicted in a few days. Wei Guangwei and these people are all in a pivotal position in the court, how many people are red-eyed, counting on bringing them down and succeeding them themselves. Now you can stop, why, what about Shoufu, Lord Yue is now a more popular person than Wei Zhongxian.

At this time, Qi Shi taught out, rushed up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say." ”

"Qi Aiqing, what do you think?" Zhu Carpenter said.

"Your Majesty, the bandit of the White Lotus Sect of Gonggong Wei is 'luàn' in Shandong, and Gu Shoufu is about to send heavy troops to Shandong to station, and suspend the trial of Wei Cifu and them. The two of them sang and harmonized, but the ministers wanted to ask Gonggong Wei more, there are bandits in Shandong who want to rebel, what is the evidence, where did the news come from? When such a major event is discovered, the magistrate should play the court as soon as possible, why has no news come at all. Also, Xia Guan's hometown is Penglai, Shandong, and when he is at home, he often travels in the left and near, and he has never heard of any White Lotus Sect in Gu 'huò' people's hearts. The two of them said this early today, and the minister thought that he was afraid that Sima Zhao's heart was known to passers-by! ”
