"Don't, don't open the door!" Zheng Guoqi saw that he was about to be sent into the demon cave, and hurriedly said: "A few brothers, and do it slowly." The younger brother wants to ask, I want to admit this matter, is it a dead end? ”

Zheng Guoqi has read sage books since he was a child, and he has done Bagu Wen, and he does not have a deep understanding of judicial sentences. Especially at this time, Qin Shou was frightened and confused, but asked about Jinyiwei.

Before a few general flags could answer, Qin Shouxian, the jade dragonfly in the prison door, shouted impatiently: "I said, a few chiefs, you can't act like this." Chief Yan has a red mouth and white teeth, and he has already given this little minister to my old Qin, what are you still talking about. Look at the case he doesn't know what he has committed, he is so hard-mouthed, my old Qin is a happy person! How can you be an official who doesn't care about the happy, but takes care of the hard-mouthed? Looking back, Chief Yan is here, and my old Qin Ke also has a mouth! ”

Zheng Guoqi heard Qin Shou's strange voice, and shivered again. However, Wang Ting glared angrily: "Qin Shou, you let Lao Tzu be clear, the brothers are here, and you don't have the right to speak!" Didn't you look at Lao Tzu and ask questions here, just your stinky skin, you are the son of a second-class master! ”

Zheng Guoqi listened to this, it was really pleasant.

At this time, Tao Zhi had already turned to Zheng Guoqi, and said with a serious look: "My little prince Zheng, you are a smart one, and you are confused for a while." If you didn't do it, you would have carried it. But if you really did it, you should admit it. Let me tell you the truth, the human and physical evidence here has been prepared. If you really translate what you have done into what you have not done, then there is no way. admit it, at least Chief Yan and Governor Lu are there, everyone is okay with their faces, and they won't embarrass you here. As for whether to die or not, to give you a word of conscience, if you are a flat-headed commoner, it is estimated that you will not be able to escape a knife. But isn't your dad still in court? Didn't you decide after admitting it, didn't we still have a trial, a round trial, and a court trial? Besides, Zheng Dadutang and Yan Ge are both in the officialdom, so it's not good for the little ones to say much about the affairs of the two of you. ”

The so-called triage, round trial, and court trial are a death penalty appeal and review system pursued by the Ming Dynasty since Yingzong. If a local military or civilian refuses to accept a death sentence, he or she may report it to the three law divisions, which will hear the case at the same time, i.e., the criminal department, the Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is called a joint trial.

As for the so-called so-called people who went directly to Beijing to sue the emperor in the folk jokes, the team of the flag bearer, Jin Wuwei, Jinyiwei, Tengxiang Siwei and other guards guarding the palace ban said that for the thugs who dared to trespass on the forbidden palace, we would kill one by one, and we would never show mercy.

The round trial is also known as the Jiuqing round trial, that is, the major and difficult cases reported by the local government, and those who are still reported after the trial will be reported by the three law divisions, plus the five Shangshu of the officials, households, rites, soldiers, and workers, as well as the general political envoys of the general political envoys, these nine bigwigs will jointly review and report the judgment results to the Son of Heaven for review.

As for the court trial, it was outside the Chengtian Gate and was presided over by the official department Shangshu himself. If a prisoner on death row cried out for injustice, or if some officials thought the case was suspicious and worthy of mercy, they would invite Jiuqing and the duke, marquis, and earls to seriously review it, and then report it to the emperor for ruling.

Of course, these three types all refer to ordinary death row inmates, and those who have been sentenced to beheaded prison can get this opportunity to appeal. If it is really a heinous crime, such as rebellion or a serious crime, it is generally not waiting for the autumn to be completed, and the document will be nailed and sealed, and the paper will be pulled out and chopped. This kind of decision is far less troublesome.

Zheng Guoqi committed adultery with people for many days, and then killed Yin, although the crime is hateful, but if you talk about it in detail, it is only an intentional homicide case. Theoretically, it is far from the level of the most heinous crime. Under normal circumstances, the method of decapitation is not applicable.

Therefore, this leaves room for operation, from Zheng Xiao's Dadu Hall to the officials of Kedao, they can all write to complain about grievances. As long as it goes to the level of round trial and court trial, Zheng Guoqi is indeed very likely to be exempt from death, or even from crime. The worst result is nothing more than the severance of the career path. Even so, it's better than being blown up and even becoming a eunuch.

Moreover, Tao Zhi's last words were even more like an initiation, which made Zheng Guoqi suddenly enlightened. Yes, he and Yan Hong are both from eunuchs, and although they have different positions with each other, they are both people in the officialdom circle after all, and there is no need to kill them all. This confession may not be handed in at all, but will only become a political bargaining chip to blackmail his father, in exchange for nothing more than his father's concessions in government affairs.

As long as you can keep yourself, what is it? What courtier's conscience, what loyalty and treachery, in the face of their own safety, they can all be betrayed!

At this time, Shao An interjected and asked: "Zheng Xiaoxianggong, the small one needs to be long-winded." You killed Yin's slut, did you plan for a long time and deliberately kill her, or did she say something that made you angry and commit the big mistake of murder? ”

How did Zheng Guoqi not understand what this meant? Hurriedly said: "It was the slut who teased me first, and I did it in a hurry!" ”

Shao An nodded and said, "That's fine." According to Si Li, this has a name, called murder of passion, although it is the same crime that can be beheaded as the murder of a person, after all, it is half a point lighter. If you can follow this, your head will be a little more stable. ”

Just like that, several general flags slapped and rubbed three times, and Zheng Xiaoxianggong, who was full of poetry and books, was dazed. Zheng Guoqi himself is just a gentleman. Although he was influenced by his father, read the books of sages, and entered the official career, the path taken by Yan Hong was different. But in essence, he is not a hard bone, he just wants his own fame and fortune, and he will glorify his ancestors. What justice, what avenue, for him is just a signboard to show off. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill his pregnant mistress, Yin.

There are two paths in front of you, one is to suffer immediate losses, and the other is to suffer losses in the future and may be exempt from punishment. In this case, it is not difficult to imagine what choice he made.

Hearing the nodding of these general flags, Zheng Guoqi nodded again and again and said, "Okay, I'll move, I'll move all." Four old men, please don't lock me up with this beast. ”

Shao An leaned down again and said in Zheng Guoqi's ear: "Little Xianggong, if you are asked to write a confession later, you must write down the details of how arrogant the Yin family is, how it bullied, and how it shamelessly seduced you earlier." In this way, it is good to show that although you have killed someone, you have no choice but to do it. ”

Zheng Guoqi said gratefully: "Thank you brother for reminding me." ”

At this time, the jade dragonfly Qin Shou had already shouted in prison: "I'm your uncle, surnamed Shao, Lao Tzu will be stabbed in a few days, you can't fucking be a good person!" Lao Tzu will not let you go if he becomes a ghost! Lao Tzu wants to sue Chief Yan! ”

It happened that Yan Hong came back from outside, heard Qin Shou shouting, and found that Zheng Guoqi hadn't been locked in yet, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?" Why hasn't this person been sent in yet? Lao Wang, Mo Feier and the others still dare not listen to the orders of their officials? ”

Wang Ting hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Back to Chief Yan's words, it is this Zheng Xiaogongzi who wants to open it himself and is willing to confess." We didn't put him in jail. ”

Yan Hong turned his anger into joy at this time, nodded and said: "It's very good, and it can be regarded as Zheng Xiaogongzi's knowledge of current affairs." Originally, everyone is a person on the scene, if you don't embarrass me, why should I embarrass you. Brothers, then bring him back and let him write. ”

At this time, Qin Shou shouted behind the door again: "Master Yan, you promised me!" Let's just say that the confession was also confessed by my old Qin first! Please, send Zheng Xiaoxianggong in. Even if it's half an hour! ”

Zheng Guoqi heard Qin Shou's beast-like voice, and couldn't help but shudder again, and hurriedly said: "Yan Huhou, go, I'll hurry up and write out the confession." ”

So, Zheng Guoqi unlocked the acupoint and took him to another secluded room. Wang Ting and Liu An stood on either side of Yan Hong to prevent him from jumping off the wall in a hurry; Shao An and Tao Zhi waited for Zheng Guoqi to write a confession on the side. Write a page, Yan Hong read a page, ask some more questions, and let him write it. After tossing and turning like this for more than half an hour, another confession of thousands of words was written.

The content of this self-confession of Zheng Guoqi's confession is basically the same as Yan Hong's previous speculation, and it is also corroborated by several other confessions.

The Zheng family and the Yin family are good friends, and they come and go with each other frequently. Zheng Guoqi often went in and out of Yin's mansion, and Yin's mansion did not interfere. Later, he met Miss Yin Jiasan, and the other party's youth and beauty attracted Zheng Guoqi, and Zheng's graceful and suave, both civil and military, plus being able to speak, effortlessly captured the girl's heart.

Miss Yin San's shallow fists and feet are also taught by Zheng Guoqi. Since the fists and feet are taught, physical contact cannot be avoided, but this kind of inappropriate friendship, Yin Shiguang doesn't know whether he really doesn't know the way or pretends not to know the way, but he has never stopped it.

Although the era paid attention to etiquette and religion, there were loopholes where there could be walls. Finally one day, Miss Yin San offered her body to her lover. After that, young people knew the taste of marrow, and they were even more out of control.

Miss Yin San thought that she would be able to marry Zheng Guoqi sooner or later, immersed in the sweetness of the future. But Zheng Guoqi, in fact, has only had a playful attitude towards Miss Yin San from beginning to end, and he never thought of really marrying her. After all, a mere four-grade Shuntianfu Cheng, compared with the second-grade imperial history, it is still not enough to see. It's naturally a good thing to have a big beauty to play with, but it's better to be a wife.

Not to mention, his father had long intended to hire Meng Shilang's daughter. Although Miss Meng's appearance is not clear, she is a servant of the ministry, and it is self-evident that she will help her career in the future.

Miss Yin San didn't want to give up this relationship easily. Even when he was forced by his father to marry Feng Xiao, he did not interrupt his correspondence with Zheng Guoqi, and even moved out of Yin's mansion to facilitate the two to meet. And Zheng Guoqi felt that there was such a beauty to vent, but he didn't feel at a loss. Anyway, the green hat was carried by Feng Jiansheng, who was eating in a bowl and staring at the pot, very chic and happy.
