Chapter 235: Liang Ju is on trial
After waiting for another four or five days, Liang Ju was finally arraigned, and it was really Situ Wenrui who interrogated him.
Liang Ju's heart has calmed down a little in the past few days, and the longer the time passes, he feels that Shen Jing should be fine, after all, he himself has not been arraigned.
Liang Ju was stunned for a moment when he saw Situ Wenrui, then frowned and asked, "The humble case is presided over by His Royal Highness King Rui?" ”
Situ Wenrui nodded and said, "Yes, General Liang, rest assured, this king will be fair and just." After a pause, he said: "If it was before, it would naturally not be my turn, after all, we are relatives, and we want to avoid suspicion, but now that there is no such relationship, the emperor sent me to try this case." ”
Situ Wenrui naturally knew the news that Lord Wenxi and Shen Jing were the same person, and there were two jurors on the side at the moment, so naturally he couldn't say something.
Liang Ju's beard was unshaven, and he was skinny during this time, but his mental state was not bad, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "Then there is His Royal Highness King Laury." ”
"Where the duty lies." Situ Wenrui was also more polite, "Then let's start!" ”
"Wait," Liang Ju raised his head, looked at Situ Wenrui earnestly, and said in Situ Wenrui's puzzled gaze, "There is something I want to ask His Royal Highness King Rui about something. ”
When Situ Wenrui heard this, he frowned, looked at the jurors on the left and right sides, and then said to Liang Ju: "Say it!" ”
Liang Ju didn't hesitate for a moment, and asked directly: "I want to know if my wife is okay?" ”
Situ Wenrui was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said: "General Liang's temperament is really ......" Situ Wenrui couldn't think of the right words to describe it, so he stopped and said: "Lord Wenxi and your two children are fine." ”
Liang Ju breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking Situ Wenrui repeatedly, the criminal trial began. Of course, it's all about the time, place, motive, and so on.
Liang Ju naturally told the truth, he didn't know the time on the letter, when he was in Jiangzhou and when he was in the capital, there were no details, as for the motive, no, because he didn't collaborate with the enemy at all, he had a great future, not to mention, he was still a righteous general, naturally he would not commit treason, and that would do him all kinds of harm and no benefit.
Of course, Situ Wenrui naturally wanted to put the evidence in front of him, "Look, the handwriting on this letter is yours, and you happen to be in Jiangzhou at the time." ”
Liang Ju replied: "I was framed, this evidence naturally has to be realistic, this letter was not written by me, but my handwriting is easy to obtain, and it is very simple to imitate." ”
"Since you said that someone framed you, do you think anyone wants to frame you with such fanfare?"
Liang Ju was stunned and said that he didn't know, it was impossible for him to say the speculation in his heart, there was no evidence, he didn't want to get into trouble, "I also hope that His Royal Highness King Rui will be aware of it, and he will be innocent." ”
"Since someone wants to harm you, it must be a grudge against you," Situ Wenrui glanced at Liang Ju, who was kneeling, and then asked, "Then what enemies should General Liang know, right?" ”
Liang Ju was stunned again, this kind of question was really difficult to answer, he thought about it and said: "I have offended many people in my humble position for so many years, but I think it is all a small grudge, which is not enough for people to frame me like this." After a pause, he said: "And the lowly person has a big heart, and sometimes he doesn't know that he offends people, so he really can't think of it." ”
Situ Wenrui snorted coldly and said, "Then General Liang will tell me about the errands that have been handled by you in recent years, whether you have dealt with people, tell me in detail." ”
Liang Ju thought about it, and talked about the errands he had handled since joining the army, until he said that his mouth was dry.
After hearing this, Situ Wenrui nodded, and said, "I'll send someone to check." ”
The arraignment on the first day ended like this, and Liang Ju was sent to the prison again, only this time, he felt a lot more settled, because he knew that Shen Jing was fine.
After being imprisoned for another three days, Liang Ju was arraigned again. Situ Wenrui's tone was as calm as ever, and he said: "General Liang, this king went to check, and the individuals you had something to do with last time did not find anyone who framed you. ”
Liang Ju was not very disappointed, because he didn't suspect those people in the first place, and when he heard Situ Wenrui say this at this moment, he just sighed.
Situ Wenrui said again: "General Liang thinks about it, but there is nothing missing. ”
Liang Ju really thought seriously for a while, then shook his head and said, "No." ”
Situ Wenrui's face was really cold at this time, and he said: "Hurry up and tell the truth, is it that you collaborated with the enemy, for some ulterior interests, or was you caught?" ”
Liang Ju looked at Situ Wenrui in shock, and then shook his head fiercely, "There is no lowly position, and the lowly position is wronged." ”
"Hmph, the person sent by the emperor to Jiangzhou has sent back a letter, saying that he found a little guy who had worked in your mansion over there, and he saw with his own eyes that you had met the enemy general who entered Jiangzhou in disguise, and you were too careless to find this person, otherwise he might not survive."
Liang Ju was even more shocked, he still said very firmly: "The lowly position is wronged, do a full set of dramas, since you want to frame me, you naturally need to find all the human and material evidence." ”
"Hmph......" Situ Wenrui snorted coldly and said: "Since you said that someone framed you, but you didn't say who would frame you, we went to find out who had something to do with you, either they didn't have the ability, or they didn't have such a big hatred, so you said that someone framed you and fooled us?" ”
Liang Ju was extremely helpless, and only insisted: "Anyway, there is no collaborator with the enemy. ”
The scene suddenly became a stalemate, and one of the jurors said, "I think I have to use some punishment, otherwise he won't tell the truth." ”
Another person also echoed this suggestion, saying that these two people, one is from the Yan Xiang faction and the other is from the Chen Shang faction, which were originally opposites, but at the moment, because of the common purpose, the attitude is unified.
Situ Wenrui was stunned for a moment, in the end, he was a little unbearable, his princess said that he had to take care of Liang Ju a little, but in this situation, he couldn't either!
"It's not proper, this king has always been gentle, and he doesn't like torture the most." Situ Wenrui said to the two jurors.
The two jurors were stunned for a moment, looked at each other for a while, and one of them said: "The prince has a good temper, but in extraordinary times, how can he be spared when facing such a collaborator and traitor?" ”
Situ Wenrui looked puzzled: "That's right, but the crime hasn't been decided yet, in case General Liang is really wronged, what should be done with the reputation of this king?" ”
The two jurors were already swearing in their hearts, but they still had a smile on their faces, "Even if General Liang is really innocent, the punishment will not affect the reputation of the prince, after all, you are doing things for the people, otherwise if you are really guilty, people will have to say that the prince is incompetent!" ”
Situ Wenrui was stunned for a moment and said, "What the two of you said is also reasonable!" Then ......" Situ Wenrui glanced at Liang Ju, who was kneeling, and continued in a hesitant tone: "Use the torture!" Let's start with the 20th board. ”
Liang Ju was extremely helpless, and only said a word of wrongdoing, and there was no room for resistance, so he obediently suffered from the 20th board.
These twenty boards are real, Liang Ju was beaten a lot by his father before, and he went to the battlefield later, and he was injured countless times, so when this board hit her body, she didn't even snort.
When Situ Wenrui was still lamenting Liang Ju's endurance in his heart, he heard the two jurors say that Liang Ju had rough skin and thick meat, and the twenty boards were not enough for him to warm up, it was too light, and it should be aggravated.
When Situ Wenrui heard this, he said: "It's not good, you have to take it step by step!" ”
The two jurors were already complaining about Situ Wenrui in their hearts, and they still looked embarrassed, and said, "But didn't the emperor tell us to solve the case as soon as possible?" As the time goes on, not only the emperor, but also my colleagues will feel that we are not capable enough. ”
Situ Wenrui snorted coldly in his heart, his face was still gentle, and he said: "The two of you are very good-mouthed, I think that the two of you will try the case, and he may be recruited without being punished." ”
When the two jurors heard Situ Wenrui say this, they immediately knelt down, hurriedly defended, and finally said: "It's the subordinates who have overdistanced, and the subordinates are also eager to solve the case." ”
Situ Wenrui hurriedly asked the two of them to get up, "What do you mean by kneeling, this king is obviously telling the truth, and he doesn't mean to blame." ”
The two jurors didn't dare to move, Situ Wenrui snorted coldly and said, "Get up!" ”
The two of them sat up tremblingly, although King Rui has a gentle temperament, but in the end, it came out of the palace, how good his temper can be!
Situ Wenrui looked at Liang Ju, who was trying to kneel on the ground, and said, "General Liang, think about it again." ”
Liang Ju looked up at Situ Wenrui and said, "Humble officials believe that those who frame humble positions may not only be enemies, but also competitors. ”
"Huh?" Situ Wenrui was puzzled.
Liang Ju explained: "The humble position from a shrimp soldier to his current position will inevitably make others covetous. ”
Situ Wenrui narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who are the others referring to?" ”
Liang Ju was stunned for a moment, Chen Shang's name had already reached his lips, and he swallowed it back again, he said: "The lowly position doesn't know, the lowly position just has such a suspicion and mentions such a direction of investigation. ”
Situ Wenrui nodded knowingly and said, "Then I will try it here today, and I will send someone to investigate." ”
Liang Ju was sent to the prison again, but at this time he was even more haggard, and his back was hit with so many boards, although he could withstand it, but after being locked up in the prison for so long, his endurance was not the same as before.
Liang Ju was lying on the ground covered with grass, sighing, the speed of this Rui Wang's trial is indeed slow, and he is now in a hurry to clear up his grievances!
It's been more than ten days since he came in, and he's about to suffocate people crazy, and he is too worried about and misses Shen Jing, although King Rui said that she was okay, but he had experienced such a thing, how good could she be.
