Chapter XXVII
As soon as he boarded the ferry, Chen Jingqi saw Pei Bin, Li Ji and Shen Heng greet them attentively, and said in unison: "The ministers meet His Royal Highness the King of Shang, Chitose Antai." ”
"Excuse me." He played with the folding fan, looked around, and asked in a muffled voice, "Master Pei, are all the people in your criminal department ready?" ”
Pei Bin replied with a smile: "Your Highness, rest assured, according to your orders, the ministers have done it." ”
"Your Highness, the old minister has something unclear, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Chen Jingqi stopped, turned his gaze to Li Ji, opened and closed the folding fan in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Please speak!" ”
"Your Highness, Yue Feng is the main suspect in the Jiangbei camp case, why didn't you interrogate in the yamen of the Criminal Department, but chose this Xingtai Pavilion?"
"Xingtai Pavilion is surrounded by lakes on all sides, and the only way to enter here is to take a boat, and choosing this place is nothing more than two points: first: it can avoid idlers entering and exiting; Second: This is both a royal family and not a palace inner garden. Chen Jingqi said as he walked: "Chen Zhihe's counselor to the emperor's uncle is a big matter, and this king played his father's father, and he deliberately chose here, which implies two meanings: public trial and private trial. He paused deliberately, and seeing that the three of them were full of doubts, he said calmly: "Father wants to leave some room for the emperor's uncle." ”
"Your Majesty." Pei Bin and Li Ji looked at each other and speculated in their hearts.
As soon as he sat down, he heard the sound of 'jingle bell' chains rubbing against the ground outside the door, and saw a middle-aged man in a white prison robe, dragging heavy steps.
"The last general, Yue Feng, met His Royal Highness the King of Shang and met the three adults."
"General Yue, you must also know what happened, don't delay everyone's efforts, you can say anything, this king, I won't embarrass you." As soon as the words fell, he threw a piece of fold at Yue Feng and said coldly: "Let's talk about it!" ”
Yue Feng straightened his waist and arched his hand: "The prince is aware that the last general was confused for a while, and he was deeply involved in gambling and was in debt, and in desperation, he moved the idea of deducting military salaries, and the last general was willing to accept the guilt." ”
Chen Jingqi saw Yue Feng kneeling on the ground, he didn't want him to confess his guilt so happily, he was thoughtful, and was about to ask again, but he heard Pei Bin rush to say: "Yue Feng, are you a three-year-old child?" With the strength of you alone, how can you deceive your superiors and subordinates, deduct military salaries, and say, who is behind it? ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Shang, what the last general said is true, this matter is done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with others."
"Nonsense."
Yue Feng glared at Li Ji and sneered: "Hmph, I know your thoughts, you have no guts, you only dare to make a trick behind your back, I'm sorry!" ”
"Lord Wang, he?"
Chen Jingqi shook the folding fan, motioned for Li Ji to shut up, walked to the center of the lobby, and asked casually, "Yue Feng, do you really have nothing else to explain?" Seeing his stubbornness that he would rather die than speak, Chen Jingqi was not angry at all, squatted down, hit his face with a folding fan, and said with a smile: "Yue Feng, this king is patient and kind to ask questions, but you refuse to appreciate it, okay, since you want to drink the penalty wine, this king will fulfill you." Come and torture. ”
He opened the folding fan and saw that the board was 'crackling' on Yue Feng's body, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned: "This king just saw the scenery outside the Xingtai Pavilion, it is very chic, or the three adults will accompany this king out for a walk." ”
The three of them didn't dare to object, they had their own concerns, and followed, they had no intention of admiring the surrounding scenery at all, and Yue Feng's screams lingered in their ears.
Shen Heng was disturbed by the shouting, and hesitated: "Lord Wang, the torture instrument has no eyes, if you force out people's lives, and you don't ask for the result, Your Majesty can't explain it, according to the foolish opinion of the lower officials......"
Suddenly, I heard a voice from the house: Lord Shang, I was wronged, ah yo, brother Huang, save me!
"Lord Wang, did you hear, Yue Feng just called the imperial brother?" Pei Bin hurriedly said: "Come on, quickly record and write ......"
Chen Jingqi suddenly put away the folding fan, and before he could say the word 'confession', he interrupted casually: "This king is tired today, first take the prisoner down, and then try another day!" ”
Pei and Li looked at the back of Chen Jingqi leaving, they were confused, and the presiding judge left, and they were not good at making claims, so they left angrily.
