Chapter 144: We Are Brothers
Gao Ren paused, a little flustered in his heart, and on the way here, he thought for a long time about the content to be stated and analyzed, about the assassin's methods, and the doubts that the princess escaped alone, all of which were forgotten.
If it weren't for the fact that he was not allowed to leave without the instructions of the Queen Mother, he would definitely choose to flee at this moment.
"Gao Ren? Why don't you come in? Do you want the mourning family to greet you? "It's the cat's tickling timbre again, sometimes light and sometimes slow.
Gao Ren stubbornly agreed, and walked inside. He knew that his face must be extremely embarrassed now.
I always feel that this time the Queen Mother's behavior is more presumptuous than before, and some of them stand farther away, and they don't dare to raise their heads.
When the Queen Mother saw that he was so far away, she didn't say anything, she was very calm.
"It's so late, my chief soldier, is there an urgent matter to find the mourning family?"
"Empress Dowager, the little one has been with those dried corpses every day for the past two days, plus the information sent out to investigate, Her Royal Highness the princess, may be in danger!"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was replied to, Gao Ren could only continue.
"I had previously told the Queen Mother that the corpse's neck had been pierced by needles. Today, the small one found that there were thin lines on the back of the neck of the corpse that spread to the skull. This is poison, and it is a kind of thread-mounted poisonous insect unique to Tibet. The little one had seen the Tubo people raising them, but he didn't think about it at first. They must have been inadvertently poisoned but didn't know it, so they didn't struggle and take precautions. ”
"Gao Ren, are you saying that the purpose of those Tubo people is Qin'er?" Liang Xin'e's delicate brows furrowed slightly, "No, Qin'er was originally going to marry Tubo Zanbu, there is no reason for them to wait so long, you mean?" ”
"Exactly, in today's Tubo, there is no monolith, but the Liangzhou Zheping clan has always been quite ambitious. If the marriage fails, if he wants to do it, he doesn't have to worry about being taken advantage of by me in the rear, so I think that the princess can escape in their dense crowd is not that I don't believe in the princess, but this possibility is too small. Therefore, the little one is really suspicious of the princess who now claims to be in Chang'an. ”
"Do you want to go to Songdi?" His bare feet stepped on the wooden floor and stepped out of the beaded curtain.
"Yes." Gao Ren affirmed: "Although they have also sent people before, they are not very familiar with Her Royal Highness the princess after all. The little ones are worried that they will be deceived. ”
"Oh, so you're familiar with the princess?" Liang Xin'e was a little unhappy, the whole person snuggled up, leaned into Gao Ren's ear and whispered: "The mourning family doesn't allow you to go." ”
Gao Ren was trembling by this warm breath, took half a step back, and said in a panic: "Please, please respect yourself Queen Mother." ”
Liang Xin'e didn't seem to hear it, stretched out her hand, stroked his cheek, rubbed it gently, and her eyes were also full of mist: "What are you hiding?" The mourning family didn't treat you like anything."
Gao Ren sighed, and grabbed Rouyi, who was looking down with those eyes, "Queen Mother, the small identity is humble, it's really"
"Shhhh Xin'er, call me Xin'er. Aren't you very obedient? The mourners command you, call my heart. “
Liang Xin'e stared at him, blazing as hot. Gao Ren's house slave thinking that he was educated since he was a child made him dare not disobey, so he could only obey the order, "Xin'er", and his face was red after speaking. There was a strange feeling in his heart, as if this title had magical power, and it shattered several defenses in his heart at once, making his whole person soften. There is no longer too much resistance and defense in my heart.
In a trance, a soft body burrowed into his arms, and his hands unconsciously closed. At this moment, I realized that the Queen Mother was only wearing a thin shirt.
"Gao Ren."
Gao Ren felt his bee waist being hugged.
"The mourning family doesn't allow you to go to Song Land. Not even for the sake of Qin'er. “
"But the comfort of Her Royal Highness the princess, and the marriage of Tubo," Gao Ren felt the softness in his arms, and suddenly stiffened when he heard Tubo. I sighed inwardly. The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, and she is not an ordinary woman after all
Gently pushed Liang Xin'e away and opened the distance. Gao Ren's face no longer wavered just now.
Liang Xin'e turned around, and after a moment of silence, she said quietly: "You go." Check it out as soon as possible and bring the princess back to kiss. ”
"Yes"
The trial result of Kaifeng Mansion was passed by the Criminal Department, but it was deflated in Dali Temple.
The three divisions disagreed, so this originally small case finally appeared on Shenzong's desk.
"Official, this is the file of this case." The great eunuch beside Shenzong handed over the file.
"Hey" Song Shenzong sighed, he didn't know what to do, "Go and call Wang Xianggong and Sima Xianggong to come."
"Xuanwang Anshi and Sima Guang are here!"
"The minister Wang Anshi, the minister Sima Guang, see Your Majesty."
"No courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"This is the case handed over by the Chenghe Criminal Department of Dali Temple today. The matter of Dengzhou Ayun, the two Aiqing can know. ”
"The minister has heard a little." Sima Guang stepped forward and said.
Wang Anshi glanced at him and didn't speak. He took the file and fold handed over by the chief eunuch, and read it on the side.
"I wonder what Sima Xianggong has to say about this case?" Song Shenzong asked, he was quite curious about how the two of them would answer. As usual, if Sima Guang agrees, Wang Anshi will definitely refute it; And what Wang Anshi agrees with, Sima Guang will also find various reasons to overturn it. These two are the real incompatible.
However, it is also a good thing that the two of them argue that it can give the Divine Sect himself a deeper insight into the incident. So I'm happy to see that.
"The ministers still need time to understand the case, can we wait for the prince to read it before we discuss." The old god Sima Guang was there, and excused himself.
Wang Anshi did not raise his hand to speak, nor did he glance at ten lines because of this. Instead, he was very careful and careful about every word.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the empty imperial study, only the rustle of paper turning pages remained.
"The official, the minister has read it." Wang Anshi replied.
"Please."
"The minister thinks that the punishment system kills and injures the offender, and the charges are different, there are conspiracy, there are fights, and there are those who rob prisoners and steal prisoners. Only if there is a cause of killing, there is no cause, so the criminal system is exempted from the crime of causing the crime because he has committed homicide, and the law of causing homicide is still followed. It means that the law is the first, and the crime for which the cause has been forgiven, and the law does not allow the first killing, and the punishment has not been followed, but the cause of killing is not for the cause of killing, so the order is from the cause of killing and injuring to the present. ”
Song Zhenzong frowned, he understood what Wang Anshi meant. The law of causal homicide is a sentencing clause rather than a conviction clause, and the law does not consider that the crime of causal cause was not committed after the crime of cause is exempted, and the law of causal homicide does not determine that the crime of causal homicide has been committed, and the circumstances of voluntary surrender do not affect the determination of the nature of the entire crime. Therefore, Ah Yun surrendered after murder, and he is still guilty of murder, but he can be sentenced by the method of homicide.
But Sima Guang immediately used his brain and retorted.
