"Du Hong killed the weaver...... There is nothing to do, this case was committed by this official at the behest of someone, and it has nothing to do with Du Hong! ”

After Cui Yong said this sentence with a desperate expression, the court of the Criminal Department was boiling.

Except for Qin Kan, no one expected that the case would have such a big reversal, one by one, one by one, one by one, a piece of personal evidence, clearly pointed at Du Hong, vowing to put him to death, even the presiding judge He Jian, Dai Shan and Liu Yan also discussed when they met before the opening of the court, this is almost a case without any suspense, the three of them only need to go through the motions according to the usual judgment procedure, but they didn't expect that today's trial process is the only thing they have seen in their lives, It seems that there is a pair of invisible hands behind the case that are implementing the firm will of the owner, slowly pushing the incident in an unbelievable direction.

He Jian and the other three chief judges took the case, as if only standing could digest Cui Yong's shocking words.

Xing Zhao, Zhang Shizhen, and Cao Qi'an were colorless, sitting on the side of the public hall trembling like chaff, and with Cui Yong's fatal words, they seemed to have seen the bright steel knife hanging above their heads, cutting off their heads at any time.

How many lives will this sentence take......

"Cui Yong! You...... Are you evil? Do you know what you're talking about? Xing Zhao stood up, staring at Cui Yong and roaring.

Zuodu Yu Shi Dai Shan was angry: "Come on, blast Xing Zhao who roared in the public court to this official!" ”

Several messengers stepped forward with water and fire sticks, but they didn't dare to fight, but politely asked Xing Zhao to come out.

Xing Zhao repeatedly interjected in the court, and he had nothing to say when he was expelled by Dai Shan. Tie Qing glanced at Cui Yong fiercely, and hurriedly left the criminal department with a panicked expression.

From beginning to end, Qin Kan just watched all this with a smile on his face, letting the wind and waves rise, his face was like a flat lake. In the thunderstorm in the public hall of the criminal department, only the scenery of his place is light and light.

"Give me a fulcrum, and I can pry the earth". This is a sentence said by a Greek scholar named Archimedes more than a thousand years ago, and Qin Kan perfectly interprets the meaning of this sentence in today's criminal court.

It was all from his arrangement. While he was lying in the prison of Jinyi Wei Edict Prison leisurely counting the lice on his body, Ding Shun and Li Er's old subordinates kept coming in and out of the edict prison, faithfully carrying out every instruction he issued. Every detail.

The physical evidence was carried out by Li Er, who bribed the Jinyi General Banner of the Criminal Department, and drugged the wine brought by the officials on duty in the physical evidence room, and the witness servants who traveled thousands of miles from Shaoxing to Beijing had already been killed one by one by Ding Shun's old subordinates in Nanjing on the road, and the death row prisoners pretended to be witnesses, and Ding Shun followed them back to Beijing. When the witness Cui Yong was just called, the person who handed him two things in the garden that turned things around was also Ding Shun......

Strategize and win a thousand miles.

Qin Kan waved his long sleeves, and the clouds turned black into white lightly.

In the courtroom, everyone's shocked expressions have gradually calmed down. He Jian couldn't hold back his excitement, stared at Cui Yong and asked in a deep voice: "Political envoy Cui Bu, there must not be a word of falsehood in the court, you said that this case was all manipulated by you behind your back, is this true?" ”

Cui Yong sighed gloomily: "Seriously." I would like to draw a pledge to give a confession. ”

"Bring in the crime from the beginning!"

The scribe on the side changed a blank piece of paper, wrote the dragon and the phoenix, and began to record the major turning point of the case.

"On the fifteenth day of the twelfth month of the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, the weavers of Shaoxing made trouble, and attacked the official post of the eunuch Wang Peng of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau, and Wang Peng was killed on the spot in the chaos. The incident started from Wang Peng's exploitation of the weavers, which originally had nothing to do with the Zhejiang Political Division, but Du Hong, the prefect of Shaoxing, insisted on pursuing the case to the end, and the exploitation of the weavers had nothing to do with the Suzhou Weaving Bureau and several Zhejiang businessmen......"

He Jian said in a deep voice: "You also sent someone to shoot Du Hong's messenger?" Since it has nothing to do with the Zhejiang Political Division, why do you want to meddle in the killing? ”…,

"Of course, the weavers' troubles have nothing to do with the political secretary, but if Du Hong investigates them, those Zhejiang businessmen can't run, they can't run, I Cui Zheng can't run, they send me bribes more than hundreds of thousands of taels, and Zhejiang merchants smuggle silk to the sea, sold to the Ryukyus, Korea, Japan and other countries, profit millions of gold, I also participate in these transactions, I was not allowed to go to the sea as early as the Taizu period, Du Hong wants to lift the lid, I can only put him to death."

"So, you sent someone to take advantage of the chaos to kill more than a dozen weavers, and put the charge on Du Hong's head?"

"Yes, this is three birds with one stone, not only to cover the case of the weaver's trouble, but also to avoid exposing my collusion with Zhejiang businessmen, but also to get rid of Du Hong's henchman, Zhejiang is the Zhejiang of the Son of Heaven, but Zhejiang's benefits, I have six or seven out of ten, the court is only three or four out of ten, so one hand covers the sky, the day into the position of the gold, how can I easily stop?"

Cui Yong's face was expressionless, and he unhurriedly exposed the black scenes, and above the court, the listeners were shocked, and even Zhu Houzhao, who was used to laughing and laughing, also showed anger at this moment, a pair of white hands grabbed the armrests of the Taishi chair, and his teeth were gritted.

In the silence, Du Hong, who had been wronged, roared with red eyes: "Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! There is erosion everywhere under the appearance of my Ming Zhongxing, because there are countless corrupt officials and dirty officials like you! Traitor, you defeated my Daming Jiangshan Sheji, it is not a pity to die! ”

Three "traitors", scolding all the indignation and helplessness, Du Hong, who had been standing in the hall without kneeling, knelt on the ground softly after scolding, covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly.

He Jian straightened up, stared at Cui Yong with sharp eyes, and asked slowly: "This official will ask you, what you said was done by you alone, or was it instructed by others?" Is this matter still related to the people in the court? You can't cover the sky with one hand in these things, there must be a party to recruit quickly! ”

Xing Zhao, who was kicked out of the lobby of the Criminal Department, has long since lost his image of calm and justice, wiped his sweat and got on the official sedan chair, and hurriedly ordered to go to Liu Ge's old mansion.

The official sedan chair walked very fast under Xing Zhao's constant urging, and arrived outside Xicheng in more than half an hour.

Dressed in a coarse linen shirt and a hat, Liu Ji sat quietly by the pond like an ordinary old peasant, staring at the water without saying a word, and beside him was a low table with a wine jug and a wine cup.

Xing Zhao's footsteps were a little hurried, and he walked up to Liu Ji and said loudly: "The old man is not good, Cui Yong doesn't know what evil he has fallen into, and he has taken Du Hong's case all on himself!" ”

Liu Ji's hand holding the fishing rod suddenly trembled slightly, and the water surface suddenly rippled in circles, and in the crystal clear pond, a fish that was about to bite the hook was so frightened that it swam away.

Liu Ji was stunned and watched the ripples on the water surface getting bigger and bigger, and only after a long time did he shake his head and sigh: "The heart is not quiet, the water is not quiet, this fish is destined to be ...... that cannot be caught."

Xing Zhao stomped his feet and said: "Pavilion Elder, you can quickly get an idea, Cui Yong Pifu knows a lot of things about us, for so many years, we have taken so much silver from him, and he has watched from north and south, echoing each other from afar, and has conspired to bring down many ministers, and everything is ...... in his place."

"Shut up!" Liu Ji suddenly shouted: "What have you done?" What did the old man do? What does the old man have to do with him? Xing Zhao, are you also evil? ”

Xing Zhao, who was excited, suddenly shut up, although his face was anxious, he didn't dare to say another word.

Liu Ji took a deep breath and said, "For no reason, why did Cui Yong kill himself?" ”

"I don't know about this."

Liu Ji looked up at the clear and cloudless blue sky, the sun pierced his eyes slightly, but a young face somehow flashed in his mind. …,

Smiling slightly, Liu Ji muttered: "I don't dare to underestimate you, I didn't expect to underestimate you, the old man lost this game unjustly, and he deserved to lose." ”

It doesn't matter what the process is, the important thing is that the fate of Du Hong and Qin Kan has been out of his control and escaped from his life.

Liu Ji, who has been through the storm for a long time, inexplicably put himself in the most dangerous situation in his life.

The strong man must break his wrist, otherwise he will really fall into a place of no return.

Cui Yong took all the blame on himself, which shows that he dare not bite us, otherwise not only will he die, but his whole family will also be unable to live, he knows the old man's methods...... However, the heart of defense is indispensable, who else is there in Cui Yong's line? Liu Ji suddenly asked an inexplicable sentence.

Others heard it inexplicably, but Xing Zhao understood.

Years of operation, countless court storms, Liu Ji is like a cunning old fox, living more carefully than anyone else, his relationship network is a vertical one-line connection, similar to the MLM system in the previous life, on this line in Zhejiang, except for Cui Yong, there are only a few officials who know each other, including the superintendent Xing Zhao in front of him.

Xing Zhao thought for a while and said, "There are still a few officials, as well as those Zhejiang businessmen ......."

Liu Ji nodded slowly: "Xing Zhao, can you keep a record of your correspondence with the old man, Cui Yong and others?" ”

"It's all burned, after Du Hong's case reached heaven, all the letters were burned under the door, even if Jinyiwei went to raid my home at this moment, he would never find anything that could trap me in prison." Xing Zhao smiled smugly, as if he was waiting for Liu Ge Lao to praise him for his adaptability.

Liu Ji lived up to expectations, his cloudy old eyes lit up, and he nodded approvingly: "Yes, it is really a good student who the old man relies on as a confidant." ”

Passing the wine cup beside him, he slowly poured a glass and handed it to Xing Zhao, Liu Ji smiled and said: "Come, drink this cup full, as long as we don't leave any evidence, we can be invincible, if we lose this time, we will come again next time." ”

Xing Zhao took the wine cup and drank it all, and said with a smile: "There is an old man sitting in the array, what are you worried about?" Ge Lao's Wu Ji wine is still so fragrant and mellow, I never get tired of tasting it......"

"Is it delicious? Let's drink a few more glasses, the old man is old, and he doesn't dare to drink more of the things in this cup......" Liu Ji smiled faintly. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
