Chapter 217: A Ghost Knife
At this time, looking at Fang Peng, both in appearance and figure, he had really grown up a lot.
"It turned out to be Tanhualang Fang Peng, what do you have to say? But also to say that Li Kang's is not? ”
"Exactly!"
When Fang Peng said this, the people next to him were not much shocked, but Li Kang himself sighed in his heart, because among the four servants of the Criminal Department, only Fang Peng let Li Kang find the feeling he had back then, and only Fang Peng could be regarded as his old friend, but he didn't expect that once he was in trouble, even his confidant couldn't wait to step on it, and Li Kang's heart suddenly hurt.
At this time, he heard Fang Peng's youthful voice behind him, "Lord Li Kang's ministers can count the three days, and each one by one is beyond the imagination of others, you all have heard the scenery of the Criminal Department, but who knows that in the middle of summer, there will be a death case, and we will have to sleep next to the smelly corpse for several days for an autopsy?" Master Li Kang personally led the team, and if he didn't leave, no one could leave, and this was one of the ministers' complaints. ”
Li Kang's cold heart suddenly woke up when he heard this, and he turned to look at the young man behind him, only to find that Fang Peng's eyes were already red.
He continued, "In the cold winter of March, in order to squat on the suspect Lord Li, the Criminal Department led us to wait in the snow cave continuously, just because the other party's family is prominent and does not put the ordinary guards in his eyes, only Lord Li can be deterred by personally appearing at the first time, this is the second thing that the minister wants to complain, regardless of the year or the season, regardless of the cold and summer, there is Lord Li himself to set an example, this is the third of the minister's complaint, the three major crimes are the voice of the minister, and I hope that Your Majesty will punish the crime!" ”
After Fang Peng finished speaking in one breath, he kowtowed fiercely, and his impassioned words stirred the hearts of many people, even Emperor Duan was moved.
Li Kang's eyes were hot, and he raised his eyes and muttered, "God treats me well, and at this time, someone can still say such a thing, and there are no regrets in this life." ”
At this time, a silver armor also stood on top of the court, "Chen Jiang Chongji also believes in Lord Li, the minister is fortunate to have His Majesty to give marriage, and he has also had a lot of contact and understanding of Lord Li, this matter is indeed not like Lord Li's usual behavior, but someone deliberately planted it, and please Your Majesty to investigate." ”
"The minister also begs His Majesty to be clear!" Song Ming and Dong Cheng also responded.
"Your Majesty is also invited to be aware of it!" For a while, there was an endless stream of voices supporting Li Kang in the court.
Duan Jingxun's face changed in an instant, this was clearly the game he had designed in advance to step on Li Kang, how could it become half of the courtiers interceding for him in a blink of an eye, with Li Kang's usual behavior, it would never be possible to win so many people's hearts, it must be Duan Jingyi!
He suddenly looked at Duan Jingyi, but saw that the other party's expression was calm and indifferent, Duan Jingxun was sure that everyone, including Fang Peng, was arranged by Duan Jingyi, but he must not stop there.
Before Duan Jingxun could do anything more, he saw Lin Meng standing on the main hall with a panicked expression, "Your Majesty Mingjian, although Li Kang has made many achievements in the Criminal Department, Guo Yi's death is also the truth, he has never had anything to do with Li Kang, why do you want to take your life to frame him, there must be a big secret here, please Your Majesty investigate in detail and must not be tolerated!" ”
Lin Meng's words really surprised Emperor Duan, he had already expected that someone would take the opportunity to fall into the well, but he didn't expect that the person who jumped out impatiently would be Lin Meng, who was the secretary of the military department, as soon as Lin Meng opened his mouth, Duan Jingxun's heart sank suddenly.
But Lin Meng himself really couldn't care about this, he finally designed to let Li Kang become a prisoner and have a chance to rescue his son, so he must not watch Li Kang get out so easily.
Emperor Duan also thought a lot after being angry last night, Li Kang has never made any mistakes in official affairs for so many years, and he has seen these in his eyes, so among the six departments, Emperor Duan rarely mentions the Criminal Department, and there is no other reason, just because he is at ease with Li Kang's actions, and now that he has calmed down, it is indeed very strange at this time, but after all, now that the human and material evidence are there, Emperor Duan cannot openly cover it up, so he has to delay this matter as much as possible, hoping to find evidence favorable to Li Kang.
Emperor Duan's face was serious, pretending not to be moved, and said sharply, "Fang Peng, since you are so dissatisfied with Li Kang, then I will give you the right to investigate this matter, how about letting the four of you squire investigate the case together?" ”
Fang Peng was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
"But Li Kang is a first-class minister after all, and this matter needs to have a fair prince in charge," Emperor Duan said and swept his gaze to the few people in the front row, Duan Jingxun immediately wanted to be listed, but he didn't want to be quickly robbed by Duan Jingyi's eyes.
"Father, the son and son feel that they can't preside over the case of Lord Li."
As soon as these words came out, Duan Jingqi was the first to look at the people around him in shock, the most promising to save people, he actually asked to quit, could it be that he wanted to push Li Kang into Duan Jingxun's hands.
But before Duan Jingxun had time to be happy, he heard Duan Jingyi continue, "As the prince in charge of the imperial city, Erchen has a lot of private relations with Lord Li, and it is inevitable that he will be restrained by previous factors when he investigates the case, and he cannot be completely fair and just, so he also asks his father to choose someone else." ”
Emperor Duan nodded, "Jing Yi's words are good, but you can't preside over this case, and the same Jing Xun can't preside over the trial, after all, Jing Xun has been in the court longer than you, and the relationship with the six departments is good, so I naturally can't make others think that the royal affairs are biased." ”
"Father, the son of the emperor asked himself to preside over the trial of this case, and there will never be eccentricity and weightlessness!" Duan Jingxun panicked when he heard this, but Emperor Duan seemed to have made up his mind, and sent him away with just a shake of his head.
Emperor Duan was thinking about the few princes under his knees, except for the young ones last year, the rest were left with the eldest prince Duan Jingcheng and the old seventh Duan Jingqi, and Emperor Duan set his eyes on Duan Jingcheng.
The person in the wheelchair felt his gaze startled, he had never received such a heavy use, so that at this time, just feeling Emperor Duan's meaning was so frightened that he couldn't raise his head, and finally after a while, Emperor Duan's gaze fell on Duan Jingqi's body again.
Duan Jingqi was different, he had a youthful spirit in his eyes.
Emperor Duan immediately decided, "Jingqi, I will hand over this errand to you, don't be blinded, you must act impartially!" ”
Duan Jingqi was overjoyed, "Erchen remembers, please rest assured!" ”
After everything was decided, Duan Jingcheng's heart suddenly fell into his stomach, he was indeed relaxed, but the sense of frustration and loss that came with it spontaneously went straight to the bottom of his heart, he even hated himself for being so cowardly and inferior, and he didn't intend to listen to many things in the court behind, he only felt like a walking dead in a golden skin, looked down upon.
Emperor Duan ordered Duan Jingqi to preside over the trial, and Fang Peng was happy in his heart to hit the railway while it was hot, "Your Majesty has another thing to do." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Guo Yi's body is still in the prison of the Criminal Department, but this morning, the Criminal Department said that there is an urgent matter at home and has been on the way home, in order to ensure the authenticity and fairness of the autopsy, the minister implores His Majesty to send an autopsy for Guo Yi!"
As soon as Fang Peng's voice fell, Duan Jingyi opened his mouth seamlessly, "Since it is a matter of the innocence of the first-class officials in the court, then this matter must not be casually searched for to be examined, the work of ordinary government officials is not as skilled as the criminal department, and now there is no suitable candidate for the son, but there is one person to recommend to the emperor." ”
"Oh? Who? ”
"Ghost knife, cong one."
As soon as these words came out, many people were shocked, and the first person to refute it was Duan Jingxun on the side.
"Duan Jingyi, what do you mean, you actually called a person from the rivers and lakes to dissect the body of the minister of the court, but there is no one in our court?"
"Brother Erhuang don't be impatient, half of the people in the Tai Hospital are disciples of this miracle doctor, and back then, my dynasty was not without the heart to solicit just because this person acted freely and casually, and his whereabouts were erratic, and when it came to the method of medical skills, the autopsy method should be higher than that of the people in the Tai Hospital, and even my grandmother, the Queen Mother, had eaten the pills he concocted before her death, why couldn't such a person invite an autopsy?"
When it comes to Cong Yi, it also evokes a lot of memories of Emperor Duan's youth, when Su Zhi was still by his side and Emperor Duan was still a prince, Cong Yi always used the excuse to run to the palace and go to the garden to get together, in order to take a look at Su Zhi, but Su Zhi, who was born with a temper and recoiled, quarreled with him as soon as they met.
Not long after he ran away, he came to the door again.
At that time, Emperor Duan was also sure of Su Zhi's thoughts about him, and instead of seeing Cong Yi as a rival and enemy, he also comforted him to find a wife for him, and everything had already changed in a few decades.
Duan Jingyi's cold mention of this old man's name reminded Emperor Duan of a lot of simple times when he was young.
