3 The Imperial City Chapter 127-for-tat

Canghai jumped up to the roof, but saw that each corner of the eaves was already guarded, and the surrounding sloping tiles were closed together to form a boxy patio. His position is facing the center of the main hall, looking down the patio, the scene in the hall is clear at a glance, obviously Piaoxue has left an open position for him, and the trust in him is self-evident.

Piaoxue explained some precautions, and went to his own house. Canghai saw that the other guards on the roof were sticking to their respective posts, silent, and engrossed, so he also sat down cross-legged, observing the people coming and going, making various preparations, and said in his heart: "I don't try it during the day, but I have to wait until the night trial, and the criminal department is so cautious, I don't know what big case it is for?"

Wait until nightfall, the lights are on, and the talents who participated in the palace trial are in place one after another. Sitting on the presiding table was Chu Hanli, the official of the Criminal Department. There are two tall seats on the left and right, which are for the viewing position, which should be specially prepared for the big people mentioned by Piaoxue. There were two other jury seats under it, a total of twelve people, all of whom were prominent representatives of various ministries of the Imperial City. Then there were several clerks. There are some staff guards below, so they can only stand on one side.

As soon as everyone came, they sat upright, or pondered solemnly, and even if there was occasional communication, they were whispering, and did not dare to make a little noise. After waiting for another two moments, the guards outside shouted in a long voice, "Lord Nancheng King has arrived!"

Everyone in the hall stood up in response, and even the squire Chu Hanli stood respectfully on the side of the presiding table. Nancheng Wang Qinglian's clothes were clear, and he floated into the hall, and without waiting for others to speak, he sat down in the viewing seat on the left side.

Soon, Wu Xiaoao, the king of Dongcheng, and Fan Buran, the king of Xicheng, arrived one after another, and each picked a seat to sit down. Canghai said in his heart: "It turns out that the big man is talking about them." Three of the four major families have already arrived, and the remaining seat is expected to be reserved for the Zhongshan King. ”

After waiting for a while, sure enough, the long tail sound of the guards outside sounded: "Lord Zhongshan King has arrived!"

An old man in purple slowly walked into the hall, his expression was cold, his eyebrows were angry, his hair was combed on both sides, half black hair, half silver hair, with a whole set of purple clothes, quite a bit of surreal strangeness. Among the four major families, although several heads of the family are also kings, in terms of age, the three kings of the south, east and west are all of the same generation, and when they see Ding Jun, the king of Zhongshan, they also have to call their predecessors.

Chu Hanli waited for Ding Jun to sit down, and said on both sides: "A few kings, everyone has arrived, and this is the beginning?"

The three kings of the southeast and west were purely bystanders, and only the Ding family had a direct interest in the case, so the three of them looked at Ding Jun together. Ding Jun's eyelids didn't twitch, and he said coldly: "Let's start." ”

Chu Hanli nodded, returned to the main trial table and sat down, and said loudly: "Bring someone up." ”

The order was handed down the corridor to the west, which was in the direction of the prison. Before long, the sound of chains mopping the floor came intermittently through the cracks in the wall. Approaching the torture hall, four jailers appeared at the door, escorting one of them. The man's hair was messy and his eyes were dull, but it was Ding Yushuo who was trying his best to stop Wang Rui at the hunting conference.

Canghai was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect this case to be related to him. However, after all, Canghai is a person who has fought with various forces in Zhoushan, and he has a lot of experience in this kind of intrigue, and after a little in-depth thinking, he suddenly said: "Ah, by the way, he is embarrassed everywhere at the meeting, Wang Rui is now a prince, so he naturally wants to settle this account with him." But the Ding family is powerful, and the king of Zhongshan is the mainstay of the Panshi country, and moving the Ding family is tantamount to shaking the foundation of the country. One side is the prince, the other side is an important minister, but if there is a little carelessness, it will affect the whole body, and the impact on the country and society is huge, which is not trivial. From this point of view, this case is really tricky, no wonder the kings of the four major families are coming. ”

When Ding Yushuo saw Ding Jun, he was so excited that he dragged the chain vigorously, and with a clanging bell, he was about to run forward, but was stopped by the jailer and almost fell to the ground. Those little jailers enforce the law strictly, even if the King of Zhongshan is current, they are not merciless at all.

Ding Yushuo's voice was hoarse, thinking that he had cried miserably in prison, and at this time he handed his hand towards Ding Jun and shouted, "Grandpa, grandpa, save me." ”

Ding Jun saw that he was aggrieved, thinking that he had suffered a lot, the chill in his eyes flashed, and he said with a straight face: "What is it called, this is the public court, if there is any grievance, it is to cry grandpa and sue grandma, and I have lost the face of my Ding family." ”

Ding Yushuo immediately collected his tears and said, "Yes, my grandson is wrong." ”

Ding Jun said: "The case has not been tried yet, why are you in such a hurry to admit your mistakes? You just obediently wait for Chu Shilang to ask, if you did it, say yes, if you didn't do it, even if you break your leg, you can't admit it." ”

Ding Yushuo was supported by a few words from him, and suddenly seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and his heart was a little settled, and he said, "Sun Er understands." ”

Chu Hanli frowned slightly when he heard this, jealous of his identity, and stopped talking. Wu Xiaoao smiled and said: "The King of Zhongshan is here, who dares to break your legs? Besides, Chu Shilang has always enforced the law impartially, and he will not be tortured for personal purposes, so you can rest assured." ”

Ding Jun snorted and said, "Bending into a trick, that is not taking the law in your eyes." If anyone wants to take advantage of my emperor's absence, and make some unjust, false and wrongful cases come out, this king will be the first to refuse. ”

Chu Hanli's face was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he had to turn a deaf ear. Fan Buran was very impatient, and said in a rough voice: "The case has not yet been tried, so it is a bit preconceived to say anything about unjust, false and wrongful cases." ”

Ding Jun said coldly: "What the King of the West said is that the old man is too talkative?"

Fan Bulan looked up to the sky and said, "Don't dare." The King of Zhongshan is powerful and powerful, even if he sneezes, it can scare a bunch of people to death, so I'm worried that some people will misunderstand the meaning of King Zhongshan, can't withstand the pressure, and can't judge the case fairly, then it's not good. Hehe, if anyone wants to take advantage of my emperor's absence, do something wrong for personal gain, it will be difficult for Fan to agree. ”

Ding Jun's face was gloomy. At this time, Mao Qinglian said: "The four of us are just here to watch the trial, and the case itself should be handed over to Lord Chu." Lord Chu, please. ”

Chu Hanli bowed his head gratefully, then turned his head and said, "The criminal Ding Yushuo will be tried." ”

Ding Yushuo was silent, and raised his eyes to look at Ding Jun.

Chu Hanli raised his voice and said sharply: "The criminal Ding Yushuo will be tried." ”

Ding Jun didn't make any moves.

Ding Yushuo was helpless, so he had to respond: "Yes." ”

Chu Hanli said: "In the public court, if the official asks, you have to answer truthfully." All of you are witnesses here. Clear?"

Ding Yushuo said: "Clear. ”

Chu Hanli said: "Okay, let me ask you, at the hunting conference held on Shura Island this time, you colluded with the people of Jinliang and killed your own compatriots, can you do this?"
