Chapter 104: The Emperor's Punishment

After listening to the testimonies of these people, Su Jingye walked a few steps to the next door to take a look, and found that there were indeed some chicken drumsticks and rice residues scattered on the ground.

Jin Shan also glanced at it deliberately, and then snorted coldly, "You guys are talking nonsense, when will the prisoners in the prison be able to eat so well, this is not the meal that our criminal department will send at all." ”

"Hey, we've seen this with our own eyes, is there any fake?" The thin manly slammed the ground, and then unceremoniously stood up and scolded Jin Shan face to face.

"Then do you know who sent it, maybe it was sent by the family of one of them." Feeling that he was being slandered, Jin Shan didn't bother to talk to him at all, and only pushed the jailer next to him over.

"Yesterday he was in charge of the cell, can you see clearly, do you recognize him as the one who delivered the food?"

When the jailer heard this, he somehow shrank up and bowed his head very weakly. The man bent his knees, took a closer look, and suddenly became a little uncertain.

"The man who delivered the food yesterday wore his hat so low that we couldn't see his face clearly. But looking at the figure, it shouldn't look like him. ”

"That's the other one, you, go and call the one at the door." Jin Shan rolled his eyes and patted the jailer on the shoulder, and the jailer ran out as if he had been granted amnesty.

Until they recognized the second person, Su Jingye never said a word. The man recognized the second person, but still shook his head.

"The official said that my criminal department is disciplined and well managed, and you dare to pour dirty water on the official in front of the prince, it's just whimsical." Jin Shan was still glad that he had cleared his suspicion, thinking that it had nothing to do with this matter, so Su Jingye had to speak so that he could recognize the reality.

"But whether these people died in the adult's cell, the adult still can't get out of it."

Su Jingye got up and patted the dust on the hem of his clothes, and reminded Jin Shan by the way, "If they are still in the yamen of the capital, then they will have nothing to do with adults today." ”

"What does the prince mean is that Zhao Ming had already guessed that someone would kill him, so he specially pushed the matter on this official?" Jin Shan suddenly realized, and angrily hammered down the railing of the cell with his hand.

"He's not so smart as to know the prophet." Su Jingye chuckled. The man saw Su Jingye and Jin Shan talking to himself, and it seemed that he didn't intend to care about them at all, so he couldn't help but interject.

"Can the prince and the adults take care of the life and death of the grass people first, if someone really wants to kill people and kill them, what should we do?"

These words reminded Su Jingye, and he remembered that when the jailer walked to the cell, he was trembling all over, and he was already full of doubts. "By the way, since what happened last night has nothing to do with you, what are you afraid of?"

The jailer was stunned for a moment, glanced at Jin Shan hesitantly, and slowly spoke, "This is, the little ones drank and got drunk last night, and slept until this morning, and they forgot to bring food to the prisoners, for fear that the adults would blame, so they were scared and trembling. ”

"Let's just say that you are lazy, and you still dare to quarrel with this official,-" Jin Shan pointed at him angrily and scolded, Su Jingye hurriedly pulled him, "In this way, someone can pretend to be a person from the criminal department at will, and come and go freely." ”

"This king advises Lord Jin, don't think about condemning the crime now, think about how to find out the person first." Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel cold half of my body in this life.

If it was just that His Majesty was not strict, he would be reprimanded at most, but now it has evolved into Jin Shan's unauthorized departure and negligence, which is a serious crime in the new law promulgated by Su Yutian.

"Please also ask the prince to help, the lower officials didn't mean to do so." Jin Shan waved at Su Jingye, Su Jingye waved his hand and instructed the jailer, "You first find someone to carry all the corpses out, and ask them to perform autopsies one by one." ”

"As for the rest of the people, a new hidden cell must be strictly guarded, and no one can approach it, and if one of them is killed or wounded, this king will ask you, this is an opportunity for you to atone for your crimes."

The two jailers bowed again and again, "Thank you for opening the net, the little ones must be cautious and never give thieves a chance." ”

Jin Shan didn't hear Su Jingye arrange his own affairs, and was about to ask again, but Su Jingye pulled him out. "What Lord Jin has to do now is to interrogate all the people on the homepage last night, and maybe you will find clues."

"I think the people who poisoned last night came prepared, otherwise no one would have come to report to the lower authorities this morning. As for the two guards in the cell, no matter how bold they are, they won't dare to get drunk,"

"I'm afraid that the murderer also drugged the two of them." Su Jingye took Jin Shan's words and added, Jin Shan nodded again and again, "Xia Guan also has the same opinion. ”

"It's easy to say, it's simple, it's hard to say, the main thing is that the mastermind behind the scenes is too vague and unclear, so we can't find it." Su Jingye pinched his chin and pondered for a while.

"Everything has to start from the roots. It's better for Lord Jin to stay in the Criminal Department for investigation, and this king will go to Lord Zhao to find out, after all, this matter is also caused by Lord Zhao's idea. More importantly, this matter must not be hidden from Your Majesty, if it is too late, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be even more to blame. ”

"What the prince said is true." Jin Shan looked up at the sky, he had spent a lot of effort in the cell just now, and it was almost noon at this time, and he had to hurry up to prepare a plea.

Su Jingye hurried to the yamen of the capital, only to find that Zhao Ming had been called into the palace by Su Yutian. He instantly guessed that Jin Shan must have been on his way to the palace at this time, and it was estimated that Su Yutian knew about the violent death of the prisoner in the cell, and asked the two of them to come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt.

Worried that Zhao Ming would talk nonsense in front of the emperor, the Jinshan carriage had just entered the palace, and Su Jingye followed closely behind and confronted him with him.

"I told you to go to the person who sold the five stone powder, and you caught a bunch of scoundrels for me. That's it, the key is that this group of people are still dead in the prison cell, and you still dare to speak up in front of me, could it be that this crime of disregard for human life wants me to carry it for you! ”

The two of them walked to the council hall, and before they entered the door, they heard Su Yutian's angry roar. Jin Shan plucked up the courage to walk in and saw Zhao Ming kneeling on the ground with his head down, and he knelt beside him. "Weichen Jinshan, I have come to ask Your Majesty for my guilt."

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty." Su Yutian ignored Jin Shan, who admitted punishment, and only stared at Su Jingye with two eyes, "Why are you here, could it be that this incident is also related to you?" ”

"Weichen also knew that he was afraid that His Majesty would be angry, so he came to visit His Majesty." Su Jingye behaved more and more respectfully, Su Yutian snorted coldly, and his attitude was much more relaxed.

"Look at the good things that this group of ministers under me have done, it's no wonder that I'm not angry." Su Yutian threw the bracelet on his hand on the desk, and was seen by Su Jingye at a glance.

The key to this matter is the person who sued him. Su Jingye lowered his head and thought to himself. Su Yutian moved away from him now, walked in front of Jin Shan and scolded, "I asked you, Zhao Ming asked you to accept this group of prisoners, so you took it upon yourself to accept it, and you didn't even say hello to me, do you want to be my master from now on." ”

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, in fact, I wanted to hand your Majesty an excerpt this morning to talk about this matter in detail, but the prince came over and delayed for a while. Now this please be an excerpt and a guilty excerpt are here, and please look at it Your Majesty. ”

Jin Shan also regretted his original decision, sighed in his heart, and pulled out two brand-new books from his sleeve.

"Make up for it afterwards, what's the use of being an afterthought, now that people are dead in the prison of your criminal department, how do you say I should punish you." Xiao Quanzi took a few steps forward and wanted to take the fold for him, but Su Yutian waved his hand and directly knocked the fold to the ground.

"No matter what His Majesty intends to do with Wechen, Wechen is willing to accept it." Jin Shan immediately bowed down and kowtowed, and the two twists and turns he took fell on his hands.

Zhao Mingben watched the excitement from the sidelines, and quickly admitted punishment when he saw this. Su Yutian's chest continued to rise and fall, and he looked angry, Su Jingye was afraid that his decision in anger would delay the investigation, so he hurriedly stepped out and saluted.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, it is better to let the two of them atone for their crimes, investigate the truth of the matter, and maybe lead to the mastermind behind Wushisan."

"The dead group of people are just a tool for the five stones to spread outward, and they won't pose any threat to them, so why should they take such risks." Su Yutian obviously didn't believe it.

When the words landed, the atmosphere in the hall immediately stiffened, and Su Jingye kept hunching over, as if he didn't intend to compromise with him. Xiao Quanzi was sometimes calmer than Su Yutian, and after considering the possibility of Su Jingye's words, he paced to Su Yutian's side and whispered.

"Your Majesty, according to the foolish opinion of the servants, what His Royal Highness King Jing said is not unreasonable. His Majesty in the DPRK and China has not many talents available, and there has been no way to investigate the matter of Wushisan, but now that they finally have some clues, they might as well continue to investigate. If it still does not satisfy His Majesty, it will not be too late for His Majesty to punish them together. ”

"Are you emboldened now that you dare to influence my decision?" Su Yutian put his hands behind his back and was expressionless, unable to see what he meant.

"Everything is small and big, and please ask Your Majesty to be gracious, even if it is such an inconspicuous clue, since it has caused a storm, it proves that it has its effect." Su Jingye saw that his expression showed some signs of loosening, and hurriedly said a few more words.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to give Weichen a chance, Weichen is willing to make credit for his crimes, and will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations in the future." When Jin Shan and Zhao Ming heard that they were all interceding for themselves, they were very moved in their hearts, and they felt that strength surged up in their bodies.

Su Yutian looked at the scene around him, a little satisfied, and a little displeased, sighed quietly, and walked back to his dragon chair.

"Well, for the sake of King Jing's face, I will spare you this time for the time being."
