Chapter Seventy-Seven: Oppression and Suggestion
"Zhou Zemin, this division reminds you that if your statement today is different from when you were in Hangchuan County, this department can punish you for perjury and cover-up......"
Qiu Pingzhang seems to be very good at applying pressure, and he is also familiar with Zhou Zemin's stunt.
"According to the law, harboring criminals and committing perjury should be punished as coerced accomplices, especially in serious cases of such a heinous nature, if you dare to cover up, it is a major crime, and I advise you to think about it."
Zhou Zemin frowned.
Of course, he knew the consequences of retracting his confession.
Two different testimonies must be false once.
And the consequences of giving false testimony are indeed serious.
Xu Tian on the side couldn't help but speak:
"Lord Sizun, what you say is evasive and alarmist."
Qiu Pingzhang's heart sank, and he said: "Lord Xu's words are wrong, how can the lower officials be alarmist?" ”
Xu Tian smiled and said to him, but in fact, it was also a slap in the face to Zhou Zemin, and said: "The two testimonies are different, if the testimony for the five princes last time was false, it is suspected of coercing an accomplice, which is true." ”
Qiu Pingzhangxin said yes, you said a fart, but knowing that Xu Tian must still have bad water to pour, he immediately pretended to ask: "Since it's right, what else does Lord Xu have to teach?" ”
"But the key is that this time he stood up to testify against the five princes, if it is false testimony, then it is suspected of false accusation, the object of false accusation is the prince, and the false accusation is still the crime of killing the head, with the intention of killing the prince, how heavy is this crime, why didn't Lord Qiu remind him?"
Xu Tian said with a smile, "As for helping the five princes to commit perjury before, it did not cause major consequences, and it was also forced by the power of the five princes, according to the laws of the Dalan Dynasty, since he has already known his mistake and is willing to stand up again to avenge the bitter master, the punishment can be reduced." ”
The implication is also to remind Zhou Zemin that there is no turning back, and the consequences of perjury this time are more serious than the last time he testified, and his life will be guaranteed.
As soon as he said this, Zhou Zemin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The crowd outside the hall was also in an uproar.
"This dog official is setting up a trap for people's certificates."
"That's right."
"Don't be fooled by him!"
"If you admit that this testimony is a lie, it will be a false accusation against the prince, and the following crimes will be completely over."
Oh, yes!
Seeing that his intentions were completely understood by Xu Tian, Qiu Pingzhang immediately stopped talking.
Xu Tian Xu Tian, are you really here to add to the blockage!
"How can it be!"
Behind the hall, Emperor Lan Chongdi's face became more and more gloomy.
He could see it......
He was tricked by Xu Tian!
Thinking about it carefully, Xu Tian really didn't explicitly promise himself at that time.
He's talking about knowing what he's supposed to do......
"Okay, good you know what to do, it turns out that you want to fight against me to the end......"
Emperor Lan Chong's hand hidden under his sleeve robe was already clenched into a fist.
Xu Yuanhong, Xu Yuanhong, you really gave birth to a good son......
I swear that if you, Xu Tian, dare to send my prince to the guillotine today, then I will let your Yulan Mansion be completely removed from this Dalan Dynasty!
Qiu Pingzhang hurriedly said: "The testimony that has been recorded last time has already had legal effect, and this department will ask you again, whether you lied today!" It's too late for you to admit it now, and we can acquit you, but if you insist......"
As soon as they heard that he was still threatening, the crowd did not agree.
"Can't give in!"
"Don't listen to him, he's fooling you!"
……
More people were still hung up their appetites, wanting to see if Zhou Zemin would temporarily admit and bow his head.
Zhou Zemin hasn't spoken yet.
Xu Tian sneered and interjected again: "Lord Qiu is joking, he has already stood up to testify against the five princes, do you think that if the five princes are not convicted today and go out of here safe and sound, they will let him go in the future?" ”
The fifth prince glanced at Xu Tian and snorted coldly.
Xu Tian, you really deserve to be the teacher of this prince, and you really know this prince well.
Zhou Zemin also said expressionlessly: "Master Qiu, what the student just said is true. ”
Qiu Pingzhang was furious when he heard this, and slapped him heavily, "Bold Zhou Zemin!" We've given you a chance, and you're still obsessed! ”
Zhou Zemin sneered and arched his hand in the direction of Xu Tian: "My lord, as Lord Xu just said, if today's student is telling a lie, then the student is falsely accusing the prince and should be punished by the Nine Clans. So don't worry, what the students said today is true! ”
"So, you admit that the testimony provided by the Hangchuan County Ya before is all lies?"
Qiu Pingzhang avoided the serious and lightly convicted the crime.
"At that time, I was coerced by the five princes and had to submit."
Zhou Zemin said categorically.
The fifth prince was furious: "You are talking nonsense! When did this prince threaten you? It is clear that you were lured by a traitor, and here you are talking nonsense, falsely accusing this prince, and this prince warns you that you will bear the consequences! ”
"The consequences?"
Zhou Zemin's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, and he laughed miserably, and said, "Your Royal Highness, you still dare to mention the consequences to me?" If I hadn't escaped, I wouldn't have been able to stand here alive to testify against you, a well-dressed beast, isn't that serious enough? Yes? ”
By the end of the day, his expression had become hideous, and his voice had become louder and louder, almost roaring.
The crowd was taken aback.
"What? Is there such a thing? ”
"It turns out that these five princes didn't just kill Zeng Laohan's family?"
"Heartbreaking, really heartbreaking!"
……
"What?"
Emperor Lan Chong in the back hall also changed his face when he heard his words.
"Emperor, you are confused!"
Emperor Lan Chong's brows furrowed tightly.
Zemin is originally from your side this week, you have to hurry up, how can you still kill people!
Isn't this forcing the other party to bite you back!
Emperor Lan Chong couldn't believe that his emperor would do such a stupid thing.
"Ben...... Kill your parents? ”
The fifth prince looked at the crowd who suddenly became more excited and pointed at him, raised his eyebrows, glared at Zhou Zemin and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, when will this prince send someone to kill your parents?" ”
"Don't pretend, Your Highness."
Zhou Zemin sneered, the performance of the fifth prince seemed to be denial in his eyes, "Don't try to threaten me." Today, I will definitely seek justice for the Zeng family, and send you, a mad murderous demon, to justice to comfort the souls of my brother and my parents in heaven! ”
The fifth prince was silent for a moment, and after a few sudden realizations, he suddenly calmed down and said, "Brother Zhou, you have to believe me, I didn't find anyone to kill your parents. ”
The masses were boiling.
"Who believes that?"
"Hey, don't pretend, hurry up and confess your guilt!"
"The Five Princes Fufa!"
"The Five Princes Fufa!"
