Shi Xia Xu learned about Shi Chun's ridiculous behavior, so he wanted to see her early in the morning, as for what he would say, Qi Changrong had already expected it, so in order to calm his ears, he simply didn't see her.

As for what Shixia was worried about...... It should be that he is afraid that Shi Chun will be severely punished.

But Qi Changrong had already made a decision and didn't want to talk about it.

And today, all her attention will be on Pu Ting, how can she have the heart to deal with the fire in the backyard.

Shi Xia's worries were too superfluous.

Passing through the bustling streets, the carriage soon drove into the penal department.

Today's Punishment Department is especially deserted, dozens of guards wearing iron armor and hanging spears from their waists are waiting outside, their faces are cold, and an iron wall has been built outside the Punishment Department.

Qi Changrong bowed down and got out of the car, and the Praetorian Guards knelt on the ground and saluted.

"The ministers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

The earth-shattering sound of greeting resounded in the sky, and there was a solemn air in the face.

Looking at such a magnificent scene, Qi Changrong was shocked, and he only felt that the stuffiness in his chest had dissipated a little.

Looking at the people in front of her, there was a warm smile on the corner of her mouth: "Everyone, I hope you will stay in front of the door without moving a step today, and don't let unrelated people step in half a step." ”

"Obey your orders!"

When the words fell, Qi Changrong bowed his head slightly.

The atmosphere of the trial hall was cold, and there were a total of eight people kneeling in the hall, some of whom were captured from Tanzhou, and some of them were hidden in the Puting Pavilion in Shangjing.

Kneeling at the forefront was Bai Yi, who beat the drum and shook the future of the Puting conspiracy.

It's only been more than 20 days, and he has already lost a lot, and there is still a little weakness on his face.

I think the wound on the board has not healed yet.

As for the culprit, Pu Ting, he knelt under the hall in handcuffs and leg cuffs, his eyes looking down at the floor, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

When Qi Changrong came in, he saw this scene.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Including Jiang You, who had been keeping his head down, also cast an indescribably complicated gaze at her, and the slut was reminding her not to forget the promise she made.

After all, he put everything on the crown prince of the East Palace.

I don't want to get away with my crimes, but I want to save my life.

Ye Quan got up and arched his hand from a slightly distance: "The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Subsequently, Tian Shengyang and Sun Jing also saluted.

The solemn atmosphere reached its peak with the arrival of Qi Changrong.

Qi Changrong flicked his sleeves and sat in the special position set up for her next to the main seat, his expression became more and more cold: "No need to be polite, let's start." ”

"Yes." Ye Quan gave the person next to him a look: "The third trial begins." ”

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone have already been prepared, and as the main record, Tian Shengyang is ready to fight, and his hand is firmly attached to the pen, and the charges of Puting are to be determined, and they are written down one by one.

Above the high hall, Ye Quan's eyes were cold: "The person who knelt in the hall complained of his grievances and presented his evidence." ”

…… He was convicted

In addition to the blood book and other evidence, the witnesses who were found from thousands of miles were even more indignant, and their words were all grounded.

The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, Pu Ting's face is as white as paper, full of useless arguments, and the argument is powerless.

The so-called third trial is just to tell the world with evidence that Pu Ting is guilty and the crime is unforgivable.

As if he had expected such a result a long time ago, although Pu Ting was devastated, he did not collapse, he still straightened his waist, and knelt under the hall with a guilty body, but he lived like an innocent person.

Seeing this, Ye Quan's heart rose, and the startled wood fell high, and with a 'snap', his anger rushed straight to Puting.

"Sinner Pu Ting, do you have anything to say?"

Pu Ting raised his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked a sneering arc: "Lord Ye has checked it so clearly, what else do I have to say?" ”

Hearing this, almost everyone in the hall glared angrily at Pu Ting.

Such an unrepentant attitude is heart-wrenching.

When the matter came, the great sin weighed down and harmed countless people, and he didn't feel guilty at all!

Only Qi Changrong was not surprised, and he was seriously playing with the string of sandalwood beads on his wrist, and no one knew better than her that the reason why Pu Ting was so fearless was because she had reached a deal with him before.

In any case, it will save his life.

Originally, I thought that he had recognized the facts, but when I looked at it today, it was clear that he was a thief, and he still had no one in his eyes, perhaps because he wanted to get through this crisis for the time being, and find an opportunity to make a comeback in the future.

She suddenly wanted to break her word and get fat.

Such people, damn it.

It's a pity that he's still useful.

Ye Quan endured his anger and asked again: "Then do you admit your guilt?" ”

Plead guilty or not?

Now, is there room for him not to confess?

Pu Ting took a deep breath, stared at Qi Changrong intently, and said in a deep voice: "Recognize." ”

"Present the confession for him to sign and detain!"

When the words fell, Ye Quan turned his face sideways, and there was obviously a trace of disgust in his eyes, and he didn't even bother to look at him again.

After receiving the order, Tian Shengyang put down the wolf pen, presented the confession that had been prepared to Puting, attached the red ink, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have confessed, please sign and draw a charge." ”

The confession is written very clearly, and there are sources for each crime, and even a few of them are not even remembered by himself, even if they have long been turned out.

The trees fall and scatter, and the walls fall and are pushed by the people, and that's it.

But now that the matter has come to this, what if there are a few more sins? Could it be that he could have died a few more times?

Thinking of this, Pu Ting took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, signed with a pen, and then pressed his handprint.

Tian Shengyang took back the confession without changing his face, and after Ye Quan confirmed that there was no problem, he immediately sealed it with the rest of the evidence, got up and walked down from the high hall, Zhengse announced: "Pu Ting is convicted, because of his heinous crimes, according to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, those who are unforgivable will be handed over to the emperor for conviction. ”

The rest of the officials in the trial hall bowed in unison and responded, "Zun Shang Shu Ling." ”

Immediately, the group hurriedly walked out, riding horses, riding cars, and convicting Puting of guilt, confirming that it was not a good thing for him to exploit the people, but their faces were red, as if they had won the jackpot.

This incident can be called a tragedy for the people.

However, for them, it is more like another reshuffle of the imperial court.

Fortunately, there are still some smart people among them.

For example, Wang Zheyan, who accompanied the trial, and Zheng Lunming, who listened to the trial.

It stands to reason that Qin Tianjian should not interfere in the affairs of Puting, but Zheng Lunming has a very good relationship with Wang Zheyan, and this secretary of the Ministry of Rites is really very bold, and he can't see the bloody scene, so he was pulled over to strengthen his courage.

Seeing that this matter had finally come to an end, Wang Zheyan breathed a sigh of relief and was a little worried at the same time: "This kind of corruption case is the first time since the emperor ascended the throne, and I think Pu Ting will not escape the death penalty." ”

Zheng Lunming replied leisurely: "That's not necessarily, depending on what Your Majesty thinks, don't forget, although Pu Ting's crime is unforgivable, he has a great relationship with the Taishi, if the Taishi is willing to help, it is not impossible to save his life." ”

Wang Zheyan turned his head and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You mean, the Taishi dares to go against His Majesty?" ”

Zheng Lunming shook his head: "Then I can't say for sure, you also know that Pu Ting has made a lot of meritorious contributions behind the Taishi over the years, although he made a big mistake this time...... But who said what His Majesty meant? ”

Hearing this, Wang Zheyan thought it was true, and only felt a toothache.

Their majesty is really too assertive, often does unpredictable things without saying anything, and is moody, in addition to being extremely trusting of the Taishi, he basically does not save face for anyone when he goes to court.

Wang Zheyan smacked his lips: "This time Puting fell, and there was no leader in the household department, I don't know who is fortunate to be on the throne." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Lunming subconsciously straightened his back and looked not far behind, intentionally or unintentionally.

The carriage with the logo of the East Palace has been following them not far away, the coachman is dressed very plainly, and the waiter is also sitting outside the carriage, and there should be only Qi Changrong in the carriage.

His Royal Highness the Prince, who has not opened his mouth since the third trial, made Zheng Lunming feel jealous from the bottom of his heart.

After all, in terms of deep thinking and heart for the city, the crown prince has obtained the true inheritance of His Majesty.

The distance is so close, who knows if Donggong will hear their private words? Who knows what the East Palace will think when it hears it?

The more you talk, the more scruples you have, and the possibility of making mistakes greatly increases.

Zheng Lunming turned around and reminded softly: "Wang Shangshu, be cautious." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and glanced meaningfully at the carriage.

Wang Zheyan was stunned for a moment, suddenly came back to his senses, recalled the fear of being dominated by the East Palace, and couldn't help himself, he was in a cold sweat for a while, and quickly shut up.

……

The mouth is closed, but it's too late.

They all said what they should say and shouldn't say, and what they shouldn't listen to Qi Changrong also listened.

The two of them were talking freely outside, and their voices were not deliberately lowed, just enough to reach her ears in the carriage.

Not only theirs, but many more people.

Sentence by sentence, clear and audible.

Qi Changrong lowered his eyes and said nothing, allowing those abusive words to pass into the carriage.

Through the two layers of wood, she could clearly hear the angry roars and scolding of the people, not to mention the Pu Ting who was imprisoned and imprisoned in the car.

Qi Changrong was a little curious, I don't know how Pu Ting would react when he heard this, and whether he would have some regrets in his heart?

About a quarter of an hour later, the escort team stopped outside the palace, and the Praetorian Guards guarding the gate had already received the news and consciously moved out of the way to both sides, leaving a wide avenue.

With Ji Fang's support, Qi Changrong got out of the carriage.

The first thing that catches your eye is the puting that has been smashed with rotten eggs and rotten leaves, and the eyes are gloomy.

“……”

Qi Changrong was rarely silent.

Obviously, it was the result of the excitement of the people who learned the truth when they were 'parading through the streets'.

Walking two steps closer, Pu Ting's body smelled obvious, Qi Changrong quietly moved two steps to the side, estimating that someone had poured overnight water on him.

Qi Changrong empathized, if she was a narrow-minded villain like Pu Ting.
