Hetai's reprimand, which was both disdainful and reproachful, made the faces of the two officials change for a while, obviously you didn't say it yourself, how can you blame others for disturbing your performance? No, thinking about it again, people seem to say that they have caught the murderer, and it is their own people who do not believe it, but are talking nonsense here.

So he didn't dare to provoke him anymore, endured his anger, and silently stood back in his position.

"Heshangshu, do you dare to threaten the imperial court officials?" Prince Hui looked angry, and when he saw that his own people were reprimanded, it was like slapping his own face.

"Prime Minister, you can't favor one over the other, saying that this official threatens the official of the court, and this official is also the official of the imperial court, just then they are groundless to judge my character, and they are ashamed to say that the official is guilty of bullying the king, why don't you see the prime minister come out to take care of it?"

On the first day he went to court that day, he came to besiege himself, and he came to this trick again? Is it interesting? When he is rare to be this broken book? I am really fed up, Hetai stroked his forehead, and calmed down, for fear that he would not be able to bear it anymore and kick these people out of the main hall.

"The first seven days of this concubine are coming, they are also in a hurry, and if they make a mistake for a while, Heshangshu should not have the same knowledge as them. ”

"The prime minister's mother and concubine, they are in a hurry, are they the officials of the imperial court, or the officials of your prime minister?" said Hetai pretending to be puzzled.

The muscles on Prince Hui's face jumped for a while, okay you Hetai, you dig a pit and let me jump, am I stupid?" The emperor is naturally very anxious, and if the case is solved as soon as possible, the emperor can also feel at ease as soon as possible. ”

"Imperial court officials. Hetai repeated lightly, then looked at the hundred officials and said: "Did you hear it, the prime minister also said that you are all officials of the imperial court, and they are all worried about the king, do you think the same." ”

"That's nature, I'm waiting for the king, and I have to worry about the king. ”

"Absolutely, the minister is willing to smear his liver and brain for the sake of the country. ”

"Of course, what is it that is not an official of the imperial court?"

A crowd of people rushed to show their loyalty. It seems to be very ridiculous about this question.

Pingyuan Hou and the others were a little puzzled, they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Hetai gourd, and asked what they were doing if they didn't have it? Dali Siqing and Yu Shi Dafu were also confused.

"Since everyone is united in their hearts and minds that they are the officials of the imperial court, then the official feels that in Qiuchi, above the court of this Qiuchi, everything is respected by the emperor!" said Hetai solemnly.

The crowd was even more puzzled, "Isn't it the emperor who respects the emperor?" Otherwise, all these people will be standing and the emperor will sit high on the dragon chair.

"To respect the emperor, we must respect from the heart, not the superficial form. Hetai said quietly, "Maybe you are respecting the emperor in your hearts, but day by day, slowly you will forget your proportions, in this court, the emperor allows you to say, you say, instead of seeing the wind to make the rudder, which wind is strong, run where, follow the blind coaxing." The emperor did not allow you to say that you are gossiping, like a vegetable market, what kind of system. ”

One by one, they were dumbfounded, it turned out that Hetai said so much, what are you waiting for yourself here? They think about it for themselves, there are indeed some Prince Weihui who are the leaders, and as soon as he speaks, he echoes behind his ass. did not ask the emperor to start playing.

"Like Lord Zhu, Lord Cui, and Lord Qian, the servant of the Criminal Department, they all know the details of this case, so you can see what they said? This is because the emperor has not yet let them speak, and if you don't let you speak, you will be silent, and when it is time for you to speak, he will naturally let you speak. What a hurry. ”

What? Lord Zhu, Master Cui already knows? Only then did everyone realize that these two really didn't open their mouths from beginning to end, it turned out that it was Hetai's order? No, yesterday they were discussing with themselves how to deal with Hetai, why did they turn the bow of the boat so quickly, what do you mean?

Hetai's inconspicuous words not only reprimanded the ministers who were coaxing, but they must have guarded themselves a lot in the near future, at least the court did not dare to look at the king anymore, but also indirectly pushed Zhu and Cui to their opposites.

However, there are still people who are not convinced. is unwilling to be suppressed by his words.

"Lord Shangshu, since the murderer has been caught, the case should be tried in a bright and bright manner, but Shangshu said that he not only caught but also tried the confession. I don't know where to interrogate, and who will hear it?" questioned one official.

Because it is Prince Hui's henchmen, the cadres and others have passed the news to each other yesterday, thinking that even if Hetai caught the murderer last night, the eyeliner of the Criminal Department did not leak the news, so it can be seen that the case was not tried in the Criminal Department at all, so there was only a private court and a secret trial.

"Do you suspect that this official is beating people into tricks......? Or is it a temporary scapegoat?" said what he was thinking.

Xia Guan didn't say that, but he was suspicious, and asked Lord Shangshu for advice. The man didn't back down. However, he was much more cautious in his words, not bitten by a mad dog like before.

Hetai raised the corners of his lips, "What you said is very reasonable, and the official has already thought of it, so of course he will not hold a trial, let alone a trial." "Originally, the Criminal Department had the right to interrogate, but this matter is serious, and there is a group of people staring at you for making mistakes, so Hetai expected it, so everything was thoughtful and did not leak.

"The assassin lurked in the palace, and was captured in one fell swoop yesterday night, and the Sentencing Division opened the court, and the sentencing department was in charge, Lord Zhu of Dali Temple, Lord Cui, the Imperial Doctor, Lord Qian, the servant of the Criminal Department, and the official were all present, and they participated in the whole process from catching the murderer to interrogating the suspect and detaining the suspect. Nothing is missing. Lord Zhu made the decision, the official and Master Cui were the jury, and the rest of the people heard the trial to corroborate. Hetai said slowly.

What? Lord Zhu, Lord Cui also participated? Or was it the chief judge? Only then did everyone realize that these two really didn't open their mouths from beginning to end, and even Hetai took them as an example of obedience, and they also lowered their heads, it turned out that they were already Hetai's appropriation? No, yesterday the two of them discussed with Prince Hui how to deal with Hetai, why did they turn the bow of the ship so quickly, what do you mean?

His words pushed Zhu and Cui to the forefront of the storm. If they don't report it, even if Prince Hui doesn't reject them in the future, they will lose trust in them, and if they want to gain a foothold, they can only be loyal to the emperor and seek protection from now on.

Sure enough, Prince Hui looked at the two of them with a gloomy face, if it wasn't for the main hall, he couldn't wait to go up and tear them up. They knew that they had captured the assassin and participated in the interrogation, but they didn't reveal anything to themselves, and watched themselves make a fool of themselves.

Lord Zhu looked at Prince Hui's murderous gaze, the sweat on his forehead dripped down, and he cautiously picked a sentence and said: "Everything is like this, what Heshang said is true, the assassin has indeed been captured, and he also confessed to the murder of the concubine Niangniang. ”

Doctor Yu Shi was also embarrassed for a while, and then Lord Zhu's words said: "Indeed, the assassins are extremely cunning, and they are in the same group as those assassins above the Jinyang King Celebration Banquet, and the reason for killing the concubine is even more unexpected. The two cases were combined into one case, and they were only tried until dawn, and the emperor has not slept until now. But now, both cases can be closed. ”

The two affirmed Hetai's words between their words, and also vaguely explained to Prince Hui, it's not that I don't report to you, it's that they have to let me interrogate you overnight, and I can't tell you if I don't know how to do it. And the emperor is still there? What can we do? Moreover, in order to attract everyone's attention, Lord Cui also came up with an unexpected reason for killing the concubine.

"The emperor has also been tried?"

"Lord Zhu and Master Cui are all involved, it seems that there is no need to doubt it. ”

"Unexpected reasons?

Although everyone could not accept this sudden change, from the arrest to the interrogation, there were many people involved, and they were all justice, and the emperor was in attendance, so what else could they suspect.

"The assassin is cunning, so the official secretly laid a net to catch the murderer, and tried it overnight for fear of long nights and dreams, in case the assassin is arrested and kills himself? Hetai looked at Prince Hui as he spoke, and he saw that he was covered in white sweat, "So before the action, I invited several judicial adults to go and testify together, during the trial, Lord Zhu was the chief judge, and the official was only a side trial, and there were other personnel involved, it can be said that the three divisions will be tried, whether there is a punishment, whether there is fraud, if you have any questions, you can say your doubts to the chief judge." Seeing that these people were no longer arrogant, Hetai added.

It has already been tried by the three divisions, and everyone has naturally accepted it in their hearts, what questions do they have? Do you want to suspect the injustice of the three legal divisions of Qiu Chi Kingdom? If you have one question, there is only one of them, that is, when did Hetai find the clue, and how did he solve the case?

"Lord Liu, do you still have any doubts, do you still think that this official is not righteous and bright?" he asked, staring at the questioning official from earlier.

"This ...... I ......" The official hesitated for a long time, and arched his hand and said: "No, Fang is the lower official who was reckless for a while, and talked nonsense for unknown reasons, since it was the trial of the three law divisions, and even when the murderer was arrested, it must be righteous and bright, and the lower official has no doubts." ”

Everyone looked at Dali Siqing and Yu Shi Dafu. Obviously, I felt that I blamed them for the anger I suffered in front of Hetai today, and even if I didn't have a chance to report the news, I should have stopped myself just now. No reminder at all.

Prince Hui's face was dark and blue, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, and he took the trouble to deploy, how did he solve the case unconsciously.

For a time, the two became the target of everyone.

In fact, it is true that there is no chance to ventilate the news, but this is only one aspect, on the other hand, these two can be judges, and there is some justice in their hearts, before Prince Hui's power was too huge, they did not dare to be disobedient, they could only be classified into one of them, listening to it, now seeing that their situation is very embarrassing, I am afraid that they will not be able to fall well in front of Prince Hui in the future, so they silently hope that Hetai can become a climate. It's good to protect yourself. At least they are all in charge of the Criminal Division. At least this time he was on his side.
