There was no need for the torture rod to hit Ke Quan's body.

Pei Zhuopi squinted at Tong Zheng with a smile: "What do you say about Tong Ti's punishment?" ”

"The lower official did not act out of the ordinary, committing what Ke Quan confessed." Tong Zheng sat upright, and his expression was very calm: "After a number of inquests, Yuan Tongzhi did die of needle poison, and the only person who could commit this poison was Ke Quan, he denied it in every possible way and refused to admit his guilt, and the lower officials were tortured and questioned in accordance with the law, and from beginning to end, he was never threatened or induced, and Ke Quan's confession today is not consistent with the confession he signed that day, the difference is that Ke Quan confessed in person that day, Qian Shangshu did not personally buy it, but sent his family members to meet with Ke Quan, and lured him to make huge profits. The official also put forward that Ke Quan's confession could not prove Qian Shangshu's crime, and it was necessary to interrogate Qian Shangshu, and find out the whereabouts of the family member who claimed to be under the instructions of Qian Shangshu, but Pei Shangshu insisted that Qian Shangshu was innocent and slandered, and should not be questioned, and today's public trial was proposed by Pei Shangshu, but now he asked the lower official what he had to say......"

Tong Zheng snorted: "The lower official also asked, it is also the confession of Ke Quan, why did Pei Shangshu decide that Qian Shangshu must be slandered, and the lower official must have carried out the crime of coercion and inducement?" ”

At this point in the court, the atmosphere has been completely different, and the criminal Ke Quan has become an inconspicuous small role, but the chief judge and the supervisor have faced each other.

This is not a trial, this is a political fight, and everyone present knows it.

"This official has this conclusion, of course, there is a reason for this official." Pei Zhuo also snorted coldly: "This official has already put forward his own proposition, Ke Quan was originally introduced by Meng Shangshu to Yuan Tongzhi, and was responsible for diagnosing and treating Yuan Tongzhi's old disease and stubborn disease, if you want to say who is more suspicious of instructing Ke Quan to kill, naturally Meng Shangshu is the first to recommend, but Tong Tixing has completely ignored the official's proposition, and His Royal Highness the King of Zhou has restricted the official who is the chief judge from participating in the torture, isn't it suspected of slandering Qian Shangshu?" Although His Royal Highness the King of Zhou is the prince, and now he has the right to supervise the government in the four provinces south of the Yangtze River, but the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, although the dynasty does not govern the country with the law, but the emperor has also repeatedly ordered the princes and courtiers not to break the law, and this official is based on the commandment of the Holy Emperor, so that he can use this black yarn as a charge to advocate public trial, and would rather risk the respect of the prince than uphold the law of the country. ”

It's a good saying, justice is awe-inspiring, and it is high-sounding.

Meng Zhi naturally couldn't bear it anymore: "Although Ke Quan was indeed introduced to Yuan Shijing by me, but Ke Quan and I are not old acquaintances, I just inquired about his expertise in internal medicine, especially liver depression and spleen dampness, but Yuan Shijing and I not only do not hate me, but even Yuan Shijing has always respected me as a teacher, why did I instigate Ke Quan to kill people?" ”

"Yes, Meng Shangshu does have no motives." Dou Zhang, as the Yin of Yingtianfu, although he was not in charge of the trial of the murder of Yuan Hai this time, but today is a public trial, and the current situation is undoubtedly an open confrontation between Yuan Dang and King Zhou, he naturally will not sit idly by: "Pei Shangshu only used the fact that Ke Quan was introduced to Meng Shangshu to diagnose and treat the illness of Yuan Shangshu, so he insisted that Meng Shangshu was the culprit, and even accused His Highness of poisoning and slandering the murder officer, which was not justified and arbitrary. ”

"Ke Quan, in front of many officials in Nanzhili today, this official asked you, were you instigated by Meng Shangshu to poison the medical needle and kill Yuan Tongzhi?" Lan Ting asked suddenly.

Meng Zhi's heart sank first, he was a little unsure of Lan Ting's intention to interrogate Ke Quan like this, it couldn't be ...... In the end, because of Yin's one-sided words, he was really suspicious, right?

"The grass people didn't get any of them

At the instigation of people, the grass people are still confused...... Why did Yuan Tongzhi die violently after the grass people applied needles! However, my lords, the grass people will never dare to blackmail another word at this time, and the grass people will confess to be bought by Qian Shangshu, and they are really forced by Tong Ti. Ke Quan immediately cried wolf again.

"Deputy Envoy Zhao, although Meng Shangshu has nothing to do with this case, but Tong Ti's punishment is indeed suspected of being tortured and coerced into a trick, and so many people present today have heard and witnessed it, Deputy Envoy Zhao will no longer defend Tong Zheng and deny it, right?" Pei Zhuo relied on his confidence to dare to make a bet on the black gauze hat, and he was not afraid to completely tear his face with King Zhou's side at this time.

"If Ke Quan's confession is credible, then dare to ask Pei Shangshu, who killed Yuan Tongzhi with a poisonous needle?" Lan Ting raised one side of his eyebrows: "Ke Quan first denied it, confessed to the crime after the punishment, and retracted his confession again in today's public trial, only saying that he was coerced and enticed, and he did not admit the crime of murder at all. ”

Pei Zhuo finally waited for Lan Ting's words, and slapped the shocked wood: "Of course, the lower official will not make a judgment without evidence, colleagues, after the lower official took over this case, especially when he was suppressed by His Royal Highness King Zhou, and could not interfere with the torture at all, he suspected that although the deceased in this case was Yuan Shijing, the target was Qian Shangshu!" So although he did not torture Ke Quan, but found another way, after the investigation of the lower officials, Ke Quan raised an outer room not long ago, and a woman surnamed Liang fooled around, Yuan Shijing died on the day, Ke Quan was called from the outer room to the Huai'an Mansion, and after the official torture asked Liang, she has confessed! ”

A new witness has finally appeared.

As Pei Zhuo shouted out the words "lead someone to commit the Liang family", a woman who was covered in bruises but still had a charming charm was brought up by several yacha.

"Liang, this official asked you, can the poison on Ke Quanyi's needle be applied to you?" Pei Zhuo asked knowingly.

After the partition, Chungui only heard a weak but delicate voice: "Yes, it was the concubine who was hiding from Ke Lang to apply poison to the medical needle...... The yen Tongzhi sent a servant to invite Ke Lang, it was lunch time, the concubine in order to poison the medical needle, strongly persuaded Ke Lang to go to the doctor after lunch, the concubine comforted Ke Lang, and when the concubine prepared a medical needle box for Ke Lang, Ke Lang also just ran out of lunch, so as not to delay. ”

"Why did you harm Yuan Tongzhi?" Pei Zhuo asked.

"The official master doesn't need to ask more, the concubine and Yuan Tongzhi have no hatred and no grudges, but because of the retribution, they deliberately approached Ke Lang, waiting for the opportunity to apply poison in the medical needle, the concubine body is to repay the favor, and she will never confess her kindness, even if the official master uses heavy punishment, the concubine body will definitely not speak."

Chun Gui heard Pei Zhuo sneering a few times again: "When I don't know who your engong is?" You were originally born in a prostitute, sold yourself in a private brothel on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and later took a fancy to a rich man, and wanted to buy you as a concubine, the rich man is over seventy years old, you don't want to commit to him, it is the prostitute Chu Chu of the drunken life hall to intercede for you, and gave your old bustard the same amount of money to redeem you, so that you don't commit to an old man against your will, Chu Chu has another happy guest, and also helped you with a sum of money, you opened a tavern in Jinling City to survive the day, if it weren't for Chu Chu's instructions, why would you put a good life but run to Huai'an, Knowing that the crime is exposed, there is only one death, but he dares to murder the court officials! ”

Liang was silent.

And Qian Baipo finally took the case: "Pei Shangshu has arrested the murderer and found out the case, what are you waiting for?" Immediately go to the drunken hall and arrest that prostitute! A prostitute in a Qinglou, where did he have the courage to kill the court officials?! this

There must be someone behind the prostitute. ”

"Pei is really ashamed." Pei Zhuo said in a deep voice: "Although the Liang family was arrested in time, but he has never confessed the instructions behind it, when Pei Mou found the clues, but Chu Chu has redeemed himself from the Zuisheng Pavilion, Pei asked clearly Chu and his husband Chen Shi opened a restaurant in the inner city Fengjun Pavilion, but when they arrived...... The couple was nowhere to be found. ”

When Chun Gui heard this, of course he had already understood Yuan Ji's overall plan.

Sure enough, I heard Pei Zhuo sneer: "However, Pei Mou found out that Deputy Envoy Zhao and Chen Shi and his wife really had a good relationship, not only at the chrysanthemum banquet in Wu Palace, it was Chen Shi who was invited by Deputy Envoy Zhao to cook the banquet, and even in Fengjun Pavilion, in fact, Deputy Envoy Zhao injected capital. ”

Of course, Lan Ting was ready to be accused in public, and he looked at Pei Zhuo: "Pei Shangshu's judgment, Zhao is the culprit, using Miss Chu Chu to instruct the Liang family and poison Yuan Tongzhi to blame Qian Shangshu?" ”

"All the clues point to Deputy Envoy Zhao, Pei Moufang made this judgment, but Deputy Envoy Zhao is the deputy envoy of supervision personally authorized by His Majesty, Pei Mou knows that he does not have the authority to send Deputy Envoy Zhao to prison for questioning, and also asks Deputy Envoy Zhao to hand over the suspect Chen Shi and his wife, otherwise it will ......"

"This case was tried by Pei Zhuo and you into such a situation, not only Deputy Zhao is suspicious, but even the lonely king is afraid of it." Only then did King Zhou open his mouth and say the first sentence of today's public trial: "Yes, Pei Zhuo, didn't you accuse King Gu of slandering Qian Baipo from the beginning?" Now you don't need to only point the finger at Deputy Envoy Zhao, Zhao Jibei has been approved by King Gu since he was appointed as the deputy envoy of King Lone, if he is really as you charged, poisoning Yuan Tongzhi and blaming Qian Baipo, it must also be instructed by King Lone, but your judgment is your decision, and King Gu of course has his own judgment. ”

King Zhou retracted his eyebrows and eyes that squinted at Pei Zhuo, so that he could tidy up his cuffs: "King Lone's judgment is that this Liang family must be a murderer, and Ke Quan is not innocent, at least he has learned about Liang's crime after applying the needle, otherwise he would not pretend that he can't stand the torture, and confess Qian Baipo first, so as to give you an excuse for Pei Zhuo to advocate public trial." Qian Baipo and Yuan Tongzhi have a vendetta, and they feel that after killing Yuan Tongzhi, they can frame the lonely king, Pei Zhuo, you are Qian Baipo's comrade at all, so you can find out the Liang family so easily, today's so-called public trial is simply a farce written and acted by Qian Baipo and you Pei Zhuo, but the lonely king also has to thank you for personally sending the Liang family to the palace of King Wu. ”

"His Royal Highness is so obviously shielding Vice Envoy Zhao......"

"What's the point of us arguing here?" King Zhou sneered: "This case, Qian Baipo and Pei Zhuo you are not convinced, your party members are bound to fan the flames, and then there is Yuan Ge Lao, he is your big backer, of course, he will spare no effort to support you to slander and slander the lonely king, then please ask the emperor to judge, I will immediately write a recital, you have to hurry, Pei Zhuo, your black gauze hat...... I can't take it for a few days, so take it and cherish it. ”

King Zhou seems to be a victorious gesture, but he looks like a cynical gentleman: "The farce is over, what should you do, what should you do, you can not send it away, but I still have to remind the princes that this case Lone King said that the son should ask for the Holy Judge, before the Holy Judgment was issued, the Lone King was still the supervisor of Jiangnan, and the deputy envoy Zhao also had the same authority, and now the matter of levy is the first priority, who dares to borrow the case of Yuan Gong to carry out the crime of disobeying the order...... Pei Zhuo lost his official hat, and what you are afraid of losing will be Xiang Shang's head. ”

King Zhou was the first to leave, leaving the courtiers stunned.
