Chapter 28
Zhao Da is a spy and a cool official, and he, like Yang Pei, belongs to the kind that goes all the way to the dark and never favoritism. However, although they also uphold their own ideas, he is also different from Yang Pei, Yang Pei just advocates strict punishment and strict laws, believing that it is not enough to clarify the world, even if he kills innocents in vain because of this, he will not hesitate. As for Zhao Da, his philosophy is very simple, he likes to kill.
Not to mention Xun, even if Cao Cao didn't let him kill, Zhao Da would inevitably immediately hang up his crown angrily.
In comparison, Lu Hong belongs to the category of undisciplined, he has no concept of his own, he just simply does his job, Cao Cao arranged for him to do school work, let him bite people, then he opened his mouth to bite, let him kill, then he sharpened the knife to kill. But if he felt that he didn't bite right this time, it might endanger him, and Lu Cifan would not hesitate to close his teeth - he gave Shixun a letter in advance, and this is the reason, he felt that this case would definitely involve Shixun, and Yixun's status in Cao Cao's mind would definitely not fall, so ...... Since then, I have a deep hatred, but it is a very dangerous thing.
Although this feud should have been formed between Zhao Da and Shi Xun, but they are both school affairs, and they once had a master-slave friendship with Shi Xun, will they be angry with themselves when the time comes? Lu Hong put his position very right, he is Cao Cao's dog, but Xun is Cao Cao's important minister, even if the important minister is guilty, he has to consider the political environment, political influence, even if he is a brutal master, it is not that he will be caught, and he will be killed, but the dog, as long as the owner is unhappy for a while, he will kill if he wants to, and he will never be soft.
So Lu Hong went to secretly report to Shixun in advance. In order to show their attitude. So Guan Jing heard about it. will smile and say, "I know." That's why it's separated from Zhao Da...... This person is available, and the lord can pay attention to it. "As for what is related to Wu Qian, I can't bear to see him killed without guilt, it's just a pretext.
In fact, in this regard, who is more terrible and hated than Zhao Da, who has ideas and discipline, and Lu Hong, who has no ideas and integrity? Therefore, the Greek head of state, who has his own mature ideals and ideas, is a demon, but Qiu Fatzi, a politician who only knows how to pursue power, is a hero......
It is said that Lu Hong persuaded Zhao Da not to humiliate himself. Zhao Da refused to listen to persuasion and insisted on going his own way. Lu Hongxin said whatever you want, anyway, I have already said it, and I have done my best to be a colleague, if you want to die yourself, I have no obligation to stop you alive or dead...... Do you really think that Hongsuke is a vegetarian and unfamiliar with the law? I had already sent him the message, and he must have done his homework. Besides, there is a big loophole in the relevant laws, and I don't know if you Zhao has seen it......
Zhao Da waited in the hall with Wu Qian. only heard the call of Shi Yangpei, who was the assassin order, and grabbed Wu Zhen's shackles. Stride to the front of the hall. Shi Xun looked at it, Wu Jizhong was really miserable like this, dressed in a white prison uniform, with a disheveled head, bruises on his face, and blood stains on his body - he must have been beaten, but maybe it was to pass the court, and he was not punished heavily.
Wu Qian's spirit was depressed, carrying a big flail, came to the hall, and saw it at a glance, and immediately bowed down. Shi Xun hurriedly stretched out his hand and hugged it: "Ji Zhong doesn't need to be polite. "He said in his heart that such heavy shackles, don't bend down and pout there on the spot.
Yang Pei ordered, as usual: "Go to the shackles first." Immediately, a small official came over and unlocked Wu Zhen. As soon as the wooden flail was withdrawn, Wu Jizhong immediately straightened his waist and stood tall while moving his wrists - he knew very well in his heart that since Xun could get here, he would definitely not be punished!
Yang Pei's practice of trying the case is actually very simple, come up and ask you first to plead guilty? If you don't confess your sins, then you will be beaten to death until you confess your sins. But even if the prisoner is tortured and forced to confess, it is not over, and you have to ask if you have any accomplices, if you refuse to confess, continue to fight to death. Because what he wants is not the truth, but the verdict of the case.
How should the case be decided? In fact, before the trial, Yang Kongqu had already known in his heart, and the serious questioning of the case was just a formality, in order to force the prisoner to confess or pull out more people. Of course, this does not refer to whether the offender is guilty or not, but whether the charges in the case file can be carried out and whether there are too many loopholes in the evidence -- of course, the incriminating evidence presented by Zhao Da and Lu Hong is basically self-justifying, and they will not deliberately insult the intelligence of the assassin. So as long as the case can be said to be round, Yang Pei can rest assured that the trial will be true, as for the truth...... Is it important?
However, this time is different from the past, although in Yang Pei's view, the evidence in the case file submitted by Zhao Da related to Wu Zhen is not sufficient -- because there is no one on the spot who has stolen the goods, but only human witnesses -- but basically it is reasonable. Can Hoon really disprove all those testimonies one by one? Although Yang Pei is also quite respectful of Shixun, he doesn't believe that he has such ability. You must know that in this year's trial of the case, it does not pay attention to "there is no doubt about the guilt", but on "there is no doubt about the guilt", as long as there is still a piece of testimony that cannot be completely overturned, even if Wu Zhen is finally forced to lenien, it is not a big victory for Shi Xun, and his prestige for assassination and rape can still be preserved.
It's just that it's impossible to push the prisoner down and beat him to death today to ask for a confession, which is a bit of a pity......
Yang Kongqu was ready for a hard battle, he first looked at Zhao Da, saw that the other party looked full of confidence, and then glanced at Shi Xun, Shi Xun's face sank like water, and he couldn't see through what he was thinking. Immediately, Yang Pei moved his gaze to Wu Zhen again, and asked, "What is the name of the prisoner, and what position has he held?" β
Wu Zhen arched his hand upward: "The last official Shuozhou Guangyan County Magistrate, surnamed Wu Ming and Ji Chong." β
"What did you do?"
Wu Zhen spread his hands and said that I didn't break the law at all, and I was framed by someone.
Yang Pei forcibly suppressed his temperament and asked, "What is the crime of accusing you?" β
Wu Zhen took a long breath: "Ren Mou, a small official in the county, trapped me to transport salt and iron into Huzhong. He is a cunning villain, and he was punished by me for dereliction of duty, so he ......"
Yang Pei waved his hand and interrupted Wu Zhen's words, meaning that he didn't ask you, don't open your mouth and say-"In this way, accuse you of the crime of importing salt and iron into Huzhong-is there such a thing?" β
Wu Zhiyi raised his head: "There is no such thing!" β
Yang Pei slapped the case: "No matter how you deny it, after all, if there is evidence, you can call to confront ......"
He wasn't done yet. It's Hoon who takes a step forward. spoke first: "Is there any physical evidence in this case?" Have you ever caught it in person? β
Zhao Da replied to him: "There is no physical evidence. There are witnesses. β
Yes Xun asked, how many people are there?
Zhao Da replied: "There are four witnesses, all of them are in the hall, if you are trustworthy, you can ask for the case file to see, if you don't believe it, you can call it for questioning." "His thoughts are the same as Yang Pei's, I don't believe that you are Hongfu who can refute all the witnesses. But if one is left, then Wu quality cannot be said to be clean!
Shi Xun shook his head: "You don't have to review the case file, and you don't have to call witnesses." Let's wait for me to ask Wu Chang a few words first, is it okay? β
Yang Pei said of course he couldβhe had to sell this face to Shixun. Zhao Da didn't think about it, and sneered: "Si Zhi is the master of Wu's crime, if he can confess his guilt, he can also avoid the pain of flesh and skin." "Aren't you just afraid that this case will be on you? I really have this heart, Yang Pei may not be willing to do the problem, and even if it involves you, with Cao Gong's trust in you. In the end, it didn't work. Let's just do it, you let Wu Zhen carry all the sins in public. Aren't you all right? I won't make any extraneous branches.
I saw that Shi Xun approached Wu Qian, and he didn't avoid people, and asked in a loud voice: "The school controls you for losing salt and iron into Huzhong, but because he is my fake son, he has a need, but he is not affectionate, and he loses secretly?" Since there are witnesses, it is expected to be groundless. "It's groundless, it's not for nothing, if it's really not like this, why would others frame you?
Wu Zhen shook his head again and again: "An has this matter." The quality is just to transport silk, grain and coal to the east of the river to the extension department, and the city of its cattle and horses, but to the east of the river. The so-called human witnesses are all jealous and hateful. β
Wu Zhen was quite calm on the surface, but in fact, he also said this head-on. He did secretly transport some salt, iron, and all kinds of materials that were lacking in the Tuoba Department, and handed them over to Wei - this is the request in Guan Jing's secret letter, and Guan Jing has Xun to endorse him. Moreover, according to Guan Jing's strategy, he also deliberately leaked the news to a county official who had been punished by himself, and instructed the little official to go to the school to report the matter. Guan Jing's letter is very clear, saying that if you want to set a trap for the lord, you may have to suffer some flesh and skin, but in the end it is safe, if you make this merit, the lord will be rewarded.
Wu Zhen was born in a single family, and the only backer in the court was Xun, and Xun had orders, as long as he was not allowed to die, he could not refuse. On the way to Xudu, Wu Zhen was also secretly pondering, is this a public plan, who is he going to deal with? Could it be that he wants to take the opportunity to overturn the school? waited until he saw Zhao Da to suddenly realize that this guy had a former enmity with the public, and the prince must have wanted to clean him up.
But if the public sets this trap, how can he trap Zhao Da? Will you really be able to get out of it all by yourself? Wu Jizhong is not stupid, and even when it comes to political disputes, when he was Cao Pi's confidant in the original history, his skills must be above today's Shixun, perhaps not inferior to Guan Jing. Therefore, he did not think about victory, but first about defeat -- the news was deliberately leaked out, but the physical evidence must not be caught. If there are no witnesses, the public may have a way to save himself.
So he also said that you summoned all the witnesses, and I dismissed them one by one. Wu Zhi's words are not as good as Shixun, but after so many days of repeated thinking about his own case, he still has a certain degree of confidence in refuting those so-called human witnesses. Left and right are just the little officials who listen to the wind and rain, and the two sergeants who help him contact Wei, and a farmer who occasionally bumps into the transport convoy? If I can't even deal with these countrymen, can I still be the head of a county?
However, Shi Xun still shook his head, saying that there was no need to summon a witness. As he spoke, he turned his head and faced Yang Pei: "According to a certain question, Wu Changshi has not lost salt and iron into the Xianbei Tuoba Department, but he can be released in court." β
Yang Peigang picked up the cup and drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and almost didn't squirt out when he heard this--you asked, no, no? Do you want me to release them? How can a case be tried like this? If it weren't for Hongsuke, I would have thought that he would be a fool and a madman. coughed lightly at the moment: "The human certificate is there, why is there nothing?" β
Shi Xun pouted: "What if there is?" What about Wu Jizhong's salt and iron into Xianbei? There is no sin in this matter! (To be continued......)
