"No, I have nothing to do with the eunuchs!" Xu Liang jumped to his feet and shouted, this time his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't help grinning again, snorting coldly.

Bastards, bastards! Xu Liang immediately understood that the previous few items, the facts were there, and there was no way to deny them, and with Feng Suqin's secret letter first, Hong Chengchou, the prefect of Pingliang, would take part of the responsibility in the letter, so there was still room for reversal, but this relationship with the eunuch party could not be admitted. Emperor Chongzhen hated Wei Gonggong to the core, and at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he kicked more than 260 officials implicated in Wei Zhongxian out of the court.

More than 260 officials said that they would be extinguished, and if they had anything to do with the eunuchs, they would be looking for death.

"The errand of the Wei Gong Ancestral Hall's co-creation envoy was appointed by the court, and Xu was a small county man with eight grades, so he could only obey orders. Huang Weizhong, who participated in politics on the left, was a world friend with Xu's grandfather, so he was more protective of me, and as for whether he was a eunuch, Xu didn't know at all. Xu Liang ignored the pain in his mouth, and shouted quickly and urgently, "Lord Zhang, don't wronged good people!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Lord Zhang's face changed, and he pointed at Xu Liang and shouted: "The facts are there, how can you be cunning!" It seems that there is no need for a big punishment, you are unwilling to confess! Torture! ”

Xu Liang struggled, looking like he was crazy, and scolded: "Dog official, today you beat Lao Tzu to death, and don't even think about framing Lao Tzu!" ”

Zhang Da was so angry that he trembled his lips and shouted, "Torture, torture!" ”

Seeing that a torture was about to fall on Xu Liang, Xu Liang scolded non-stop.

At this time, there was a burst of shouting outside the house: "Lord Xu of Jinyi Wei Qianhu has arrived!" ”

The room was suddenly silent, and when everyone looked out, they saw Xu Changqing, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, striding in with four Jinyi Wei captains.

Master Zhang asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Nianyun, the official of the Imperial Procuratorate, is here to try the case of Xu Liang of Zhenyuan Zhixian County. What's the matter with Xu Qianhu? ”

Xu Changqing's eyes stayed on Xu Liang for a while, frowned, and then arched his hand towards Lord Zhang: "Xiaguan Jinyi Wei Qianhu Xu Changqing." Assigned by Lord Luo, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he came here to hear the trial. ”

Jin Yiwei and the East Investigation Factory faced off against the heavy dà case. has the authority to observe the supervision and review, and the Jinyi guard commanded Luo Yangxing to arrange it like this, although Lord Zhang was very unhappy in his heart, he couldn't say anything.

Master Zhang felt a pang in his heart, and said expressionlessly: "In this case, please wait for Xu Qianhu aside." After that, Master Zhang shouted left and right: "Come on, then torture!" ”

Xu Liang shouted: "Dog officer." Jinyi Wei Qianhu is here, you don't want to bend into a trick and frame Lao Tzu! ”

Master Zhang's face suddenly darkened, and he flicked his sleeves at the Jinyi Guard Lieutenant who was holding the torture instrument and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, torture!" ”

"Wait!" Xu Qianhu stretched out his hand to stop and said, "Dare to ask Lord Zhang, why is it tortured?" ”

Mr. Zhang snorted coldly and did not answer. Seeing this, Xia Keli, the deputy judge of the Criminal Department, hurriedly told Xu Qianhu about the causes and consequences of Xu Liang's punishment.

When Xu Qianhu heard this, his face sank, and he said coldly: "Xu is assigned by the command of Jinyi Wei Luo. I have come here to hear the trial precisely to see if there may be illegal acts of lynching and extorting confessions by torture during the interrogation process. In order to ensure that the case can be tried fairly and justly. ”

Master Zhang said unhappily: "Xu Qianhu said that the official judged the case unfairly and abused lynching? ”

"Where," Xu Qianhu shook his head, clasped his fists with both hands and arched his hand upward, and said, "Jinyi Wei supervises hundreds of officials, and the duty lies." If Lord Zhang decides the case fairly and convincely, Jin Yiwei will naturally fully cooperate and comply. But if it is an indiscriminate punishment. Bending into a move, we Jinyi Wei can't ignore it. ”

Zhang Nianyun listened to Xu Qianhu and said that he could go online. He also does not leave the command of Jinyi Wei to cultivate his temperament, and he will be called Lord Luo when he opens his mouth. I know that this person is scaring people in tiger skin. Obstructing himself from punishing Xu Liang, I can't help but hate the root of my teeth, but I can't help it. Knowing that with this Xu Qianhu here, this punishment is useless.

Zhang Nianyun sat panting for a long time, and saw Xu Qianhu standing with his fists clenched like an old monk, faintly defending Xu Liang. Then he waved his hand and said: "Let's stop for the time being, Shi Junsheng, and draw the confession with the prisoner." ”

Supervising the imperial history Shi Junsheng listened, held the confession transcript on his hand where the ink had not yet dried, dried it a little, took the ink clay, came to Xu Liang, and said: "This is a confession, let's put the mudra." ”

Xu Liang only glanced at it, and when he saw the last one, Xu Liang did not deny that he still had a deep relationship with the eunuch party, and scolded: "Lao Tzu has never admitted that he has anything to do with the eunuch party. This is a false confession, Lao Tzu does not admit it! ”

Shi Yushi's face was full of hideousness, and he stepped forward and grabbed Xu Liang's fingers, Xu Liang clenched his fists with both hands and did not let go.

"Break his fingers off!" Shi Yushi shouted at Xu Liang's lieutenant, and when the lieutenant broke off Xu Liang's fingers, Shi Yushi forcibly pinched and pressed his handprint.

He looked at the bright red handprint with satisfaction, and was about to turn around and present it to Zhang Nianyun, only to hear Xu Liang's spit of blood, spit on the confession, and wet a large piece of it.

"I'm going to give it some color!" Xu Liang laughed.

"You!" Shi Yushi shouted angrily, seeing that Xu Liang couldn't stop laughing, he stupidly presented his confession to Lord Zhang. Master Zhang saw it, and then transferred it to Xia Yingzhong, Xia Yingzhong didn't even look at it, and put it back in front of Zhang Nianyun.

Xu Qianhu said: "Two adults, give Xu a look." ”

Zhang Nianyun had a calm face, turned his head towards Shi Junsheng, and when Shi Yushi saw this, he picked up the confession and put it in the hands of Xu Changqing, a thousand households in Jinyi. Xu Qianhu took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, put it back on the table, turned his head and shouted outside: "Come on, bring in the interrogation record we have recorded ourselves and draw it for the prisoner." ”

A scribe came in from outside and put a piece of interrogation record full of handwriting in front of Xu Liang, Xu Liang looked at it, and then looked at Xu Qianhu.

Xu Qianhu blinked.

Xu Liang happily pressed his handprint.

Zhang Nianyun, Xia Keli and Shi Junsheng were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Jinyiwei's work to be done so carefully, and they quietly arranged someone to be responsible for recording outside. This interrogation confession Shi Yushi has already been made, what is the matter with Jin Yiwei taking out another copy? Besides, there is no need to guess, the interrogation process of Master Zhang must have been recorded word for word.

The three of them couldn't help but take a cool breath in unison. Zhang Nianyun, the imperial historian of the capital, said angrily: "Xu Qianhu, what are you doing here? Without the signature of our presiding judge, the prisoner's handprint alone cannot be counted. ”

Xu Qianhu took the interrogation record of Xu Liang's handprint into his arms, looked up to the sky and snorted, and said as he walked out: "The three adults don't need to be surprised, this is just an ordinary interrogation record of Jinyiwei, and under normal circumstances, it is just a necessary record, and it is not of much use." ”

The already small amount of flesh on Zhang Nianyun's face couldn't help but shake, Jinyiwei's things are generally useless, but when they are picked up and used, they may kill people.

The news of Xu Liang's sudden arraignment soon spread from Chang Cell's head to Yan Qi's ears, and then Feng Suqin and the others also knew. In the backyard of Weiyuan Building, several Tsing Yi guards guarded the gate, and the descendants of Xu Liang's family gathered together to discuss this sudden change.

"Didn't the commander of Jinyiwei make Luo Yangxing, Lord Luo, already reply that he would suppress the case and drag it back? Why was he arraigned so quickly? Feng Suqin said suspiciously.

"Could it be that Luo Yangxing temporarily regretted it? Think we have less money? "Iron Head Road.

"Probably not." Xing Zhongshan shook his head, pondered for a while, and said, "Yi Luo commanded such a high-ranking official with great power, and if he should do this, unless there is a serious reason, he will not go back on his word." Commander Luo is the commander of the court and the three products, and he has a key yamen such as Jinyiwei in his hand, and if he wants him to change his mind, it is not ordinary people who can do it. ”

Dai Feng said: "Jinyiwei directly obeys the orders of the current emperor, so in this way, I am afraid that the only one who can make the dignified Jinyiwei command make compromises and concessions is ......"

Dai Feng stopped at this point, but although he didn't say what he said, everyone in the room understood what he wanted to say. Feng Suqin's face turned pale, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Then there is nothing to be done?" ”

Everyone was in a heavy mood, and no one dared to speak lightly. Xing Zhongshan tried to squeeze out a smile and comforted Feng Suqin: "Young lady, even if Emperor Chongzhen personally intervenes, he can't bypass the three yamen of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate. Yesterday, the younger brother of Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, sent someone to reply, and Master Qiao of the Criminal Department has promised to ask at the appropriate time, and with the inquiry of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, things will take a turn for the better and may not be ......."

At this time, a person flew in from outside, entered the house, leaned against the wall, and gasped for air.

Everyone looked at it, but it was Hu Chenggong, the head of the Tsing Yi guard who was in charge of inquiring about the news outside. Hu Stall's head said to everyone breathlessly: "No, it's not good. Young lady, the money we sent to Qiao Shangshu's mansion has been returned. ”

"What?" Feng Suqin got up suddenly, pointed at the head of the stall, and said in panic: "You say it again!" ”

Hu Stalltou cried with a sad face, and said: "Just now, Qiao Shangshu's brother sent the things to the Weiyuan Building, put down the things and left." Oh, and he asked me to bring a message to the young lady. ”

"He, what did he say?" Feng Suqin's body shook twice, and in a panic, Chun'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and was immediately pushed away by Feng Suqin.

"He said, he said, Lord Xu's matter has been stabbed to the sky, and Qiao Shangshu can't do anything." Hu stall head said.

Feng Suqin's face was so white that there was no trace of blood, she stared at Hu stall head in a daze, sat back in a daze, and muttered in panic: "What to do, what to do, how can this be?" (To be continued)
