Chapter 495: The Time of Judgment
Li Ting asked Chaolu to stay in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, don't go back to his palace, Chaolu naturally responded, and waited until Li Ting walked over, she really relaxed, but she didn't continue to stay in the bed they would sleep on weekdays, but got up and moved to a small couch by the window, squinted her eyes and fell asleep again, until this time, she was really, able to relax and rest.
And at this time, Li Ting had already arrived in the yamen, and sure enough, the outside of the yamen was already crowded with waiting people, and when they saw Li Ting's appearance, they knelt down and saluted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long liveβ"
Originally, on the way here, Li Ting was still very reluctant, but after seeing the people, hearing so many people kneeling in unison towards him, Li Ting's vanity was inexplicably satisfied, so he smiled very gently, and then let them flatten.
The people didn't know the reason for this, and they didn't know that their emperor was reluctant on the way from the palace, and even complained about why this group of people was meddling, obviously the matter had little to do with them, and they felt that this emperor was very close to the people!
The emperor was naturally invited to take a seat, and under normal circumstances, the two sides of the yamen were headed catchers. Today's confirmation is very unusual, the ministers of the court and the central government are sitting down in the two rows, but each other's positions are also clear, and one faction follows Wei Yan and the other follows Zhang Yi, and each other's thoughts are also very clear.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is here today to find out the truth about Li Xu's family, I will sit here, that is, to supervise, there will definitely be no one who is cheating for personal gain, about this, please rest assured, okay, I won't say anything else, let's start quickly." After the early finish, you can go back to the palace to rest, Li Ting thought so in his heart.
"Yesβ"
It's just that the county magistrate in the capital sitting next to him is worried, this case is simply a farce! There were no direct witnesses, not even the people who reported them, but only the so-called letter and the people who came to ask for the truth.
He had a hard time even getting started, so he had to start with that letter.
"This letter - almost every family in the capital received this letter a few days ago, but what is the matter?" He asked, and the people outside the yamen chimed in, "Yesβmy family received it!" "My family got it too!" It's not noisy.
"That's it!" The county magistrate patted Xingmu, and the people were quiet again, he turned to look in Zhang Yi's direction and asked, "Lord Shangshu, what do you have to say?" "After all, the accusation in this letter is his own brother Zhang Yuan!
But unexpectedly, Zhang Yi sat straight in the chair, and replied without changing his face, "The minister has nothing to say, and the minister doesn't approve of all this in the letter!" β
The people sitting on Wei Yan's side immediately became agitated when they heard Zhang Yi's answer, and immediately a minister stood up and said, "Lord Shangshu is so angry! How can you deny this matter directly to your brother? It's too arbitrary! β
And the person sitting on Zhang Yi's side was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he immediately refuted it, "My lord, so you are also very arbitrary, after all, there is no human and physical evidence now, so you deducted a big pot on Lord Shangshu's younger brother, aren't you also drawing conclusions based on feelings?" β
"Even if your brother was innocently put on such a hat, wouldn't you argue a few words for your brother? Besides, Lord Shangshu doesn't have any excuses, just stating one fact! β
What a big breath! actually overturned such a thing that had almost been recognized as a fact, and instead blamed the people of Wei Yan's faction, saying that they had no evidence, and that they were accusing people of indiscriminately, it was simply shameless!
Even the people crowded outside the yamen couldn't endure it and discussed it one after another, and many remarks reached the ears of the people sitting inside:
"Then Wei Dacheng is too exaggerated, this has almost become a fact, how can it be said that the adults on Lord Wei Yan's side have no reason? It seems that the people on their side are not very kind! β
"That is to say, if it is not to come up with their evidence, I see that every word in my heart is really if it is not really forced and cornered, how can I choose this way?"
"And I see that Li Xu, a young man, didn't come out today, because he was afraid of retaliation, after all, he was the only one left in the family, and if his name was not kept at that time, alas, ......"
"How pitiful, there is only such a male doll left in a good family of four, presumably he himself is heartbroken!"
"That's not it, that's his relatives, his sister was ruined, and his parents both voted for the police, if he wasn't forced, where would he choose such an end?"
"That is to say, if you are not forced to a real corner, where can parents give up their children, so they choose to throw themselves into the well, alas, I feel sad when I think about it!"
"I look at this male doll is also very strong, if I don't know what it has become now!"
"Yes, yes, he is not fighting against one person, he is fighting against our current Lord Shangshu, the forces behind it can be imagined! You can also see, if you offend Lord Shangshu today, I'm afraid you will offend the group of adults sitting next to him! β
β¦β¦
Seeing that the direction of the people's conversation was getting more and more deviated to the point that the emperor couldn't listen to it, the county order hurriedly patted it with a striking eye, "Above the court, keep quiet!" β
"Since the two sides are deadlocked now, it is better to show all the evidence they have, and if they are innocent, they must come up with evidence to explain the reasons for their innocence, and if they are guilty, they must also show evidence!"
Li Ting sat and watched the two parties quarrel non-stop, so he didn't fall in love with the early dynasty, the things they argued every day were the same, what was the point?
But Li Ting never thought that if he, as the emperor, gave a conclusion after listening to what each of the ministers said, where would he hear the same discussion every day?
Hearing that the evidence was to be listed, Zhang Yi was silent, he was a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't know if Zhang Yuan was in Wei Yan's hands, and at the same time, he didn't know where Li Xu was?
He raised his eyes to look at Wei Yan, and the other party still had the same expression that was not salty or light, as if he had detached himself from this public court and wandered away.
At this moment, the eyes of the two of them suddenly met each other, and neither of them took the initiative to avoid it, but looked directly at each other, and they both wanted to see something from each other's eyes.
Zhang Yi is an old fox, his eyes look particularly fierce when he narrows up, and the city is very deep. Wei Yan, on the other hand, looked light-hearted, and didn't seem to care about what Zhang Yi could see.
