Chapter 442: What kind of wind is it?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised and showed an expression of disbelief. I have heard that Fang Hongyi, the prefect of Fengcheng, is an official who is selfless, good at judging cases, and is dedicated to avenging the wrongs of the people, and is a clean official praised by everyone. Why did this girl say that he handled the case unfairly and disregarded people's lives?
"Girl, this joke can't be made. The prefect is a good official who is respected by everyone. But you have framed him like this, and beware of getting into trouble. One of the people in the crowd shouted discontentedly, as loud as a bell.
A good official who is admired by everyone, in order to save Chu Tiankuo, has to bear a bad reputation for handling wrong cases, which is really damaging to his reputation. However, this is also Lord Fang's own choice. He did this, which makes people even more admirable.
Someone in the crowd immediately chimed in: "yes, yes." Lord Fang is a good official. ”
Shui Wei didn't know that Lord Fang was a good official. However, the drumming of the immortals is sometimes wrong. Who can guarantee that a good official will not make a wrong decision? She took a deep breath before saying, "Lord Fang is indeed a good official. But I have evidence that he wronged the case. ”
When she said this, her heart was extremely empty. It's rare to lie like this once in your life. How can she have any evidence to prove that Master Fang has wrongly decided the case? For her, it doesn't matter whether the case is wrongly decided or not, what matters is to delay the day of Chu Tiankuo's execution. Take a step, look at a step.
The crowd exploded all at once. This is indeed big news, but it is a strange thing. The people were skeptical and talked about it.
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. After a while, it spread ten, ten and hundred, and soon the news spread.
Xiangye's eyeliner is everywhere, and nothing can hide from him. As soon as it happened, someone told him. He didn't need to use his brain to guess that this matter was related to the rescue of Chu Tiankuo. Seeing that tomorrow was the day of Chu Tiankuo's execution, he had to be careful for fear that things would change.
Now that he knows the identity of Prince Chu Tiankuo, he has to find a way to get rid of Chu Tiankuo. If he doesn't get rid of Chu Tiankuo, there will be endless troubles. If Chu Tiankuo doesn't die, I'm afraid he will die.
He hurriedly took Niu Kelian and hurried to Dali Temple.
More than half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.
Outside the Yamen of Dali Temple, there are more and more people watching, and the gate of Dali Temple Yamen is surrounded by water. The solemn yamen on weekdays was very lively for a while. They came here for a surprisingly unanimous purpose, to see how such a beautiful woman could endure torture.
Of course, not everyone has a wait-and-see attitude, and there are many people who persuade Shuimai to give up.
Shui Wei stood in front of the drum, holding a drumstick in his hand, and lost his mind for a while. Let her beat the drum of grievances loudly, and no official in Dali Temple came out to take care of her.
It's just that many onlookers persuaded her: "Girl, you better leave quickly, don't falsely accuse Master Fang." ”
There are more complaints than such persuasive voices: "Girl, stop knocking." It's noisy. ”
In fact, in the yamen of Dali Temple, Duan Zisheng has already begun to prepare to start ascending. He deliberately let Shui Wei stand outside and beat the drum for so long, in order to attract more people's attention. Ever since Feng Nanyang and Lord Fang came to him and told him that Chu Tiankuo was the crown prince, he had been haunted by it.
He will be suspicious of Chu Tiankuo being the crown prince. I vaguely felt that he sentenced Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le to death, was it too hasty? Later, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he always felt that there was something strange about it. However, the verdict has been handed down, and it is impossible for him to change it without permission.
When he learned that Shui Mai had come to complain, he reacted immediately, and her move must have been to rescue Chu Tiankuo. He also happened to have the heart to overturn the case for Chu Tiankuo.
However, Chu Tiankuo robbed the prisoner and was sentenced to death, and the queen and Xiangye were very concerned. It is not easy to overturn the case, and the only ones who can compete with the queen's power are the people.
In order to incite the pressure of public opinion and arouse concern, he justifiably retried the case of Chu Tiankuo's robbery of prisoners. He deliberately let the water veins beat and beat the drum for so long.
Outside the yamen, there were a lot of people. There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, like a vegetable market, noisy and noisy.
When Xiangye and Niu Kelian arrived, they had not yet been officially promoted. The sharp-eyed people saw that the person's grandeur was extraordinary, and the crowd spontaneously gave way.
Xiangye looked full of spirit, and walked into the court proudly.
On the public court, there is a large gold plaque with the words "honest and honest". The table under the plaque was polished and shiny, and a new cushion was placed on the chair.
Dali Temple Qing Duan Zisheng sat majestically in front of the table. Dali Temple Shaoqing Yunbai sat on his left side.
At this moment, Xiangye and Niu Kelian strode in.
Duan Zisheng was stunned when he saw Xiangye. Today, it is an accident that someone beats the drum and cries out grievances. And Xiangye's sudden arrival was even more surprising to him.
"Come on, show Xiangye a seat." Dali Siqing Duan Zisheng reacted quickly, got up from his seat as he spoke, and walked over to Xiangye.
He saluted Xiangye, looked at Xiangye in surprise, and pretended to be confused: "Xiangye, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”
At this moment, someone moved the chair with hands and feet and put it behind Xiangye. Xiangye sat down on the chair slowly, leaning back his nostrils, as if he was condescending, staring at Duan Zisheng with a pair of cold eyes.
After a pause, Xiang Ye slowly spoke: "Lord Duan, why do you knowingly ask?" I was entrusted by the Empress to supervise the progress of the case of Chu Tiankuo's robbery. Tomorrow is the day of execution, so I've come to take a look. happened to meet someone who sued, and I heard that it was related to Lu Hao's case. Lu Hao is the murderer of my daughter Xia He. Shouldn't I have asked about this? ”
Duan Zisheng was neither humble nor arrogant: "That's not what Xia Guan meant. ”
He was stared at by Xiangye uncomfortably, and he only felt a chill in his heart, as if something was wrong? Listening to Xiang Ye's expression, coupled with Xiang Ye's expression and demeanor, the more he felt weird, and his heart was full of doubts. He vaguely felt that there must be something wrong with the queen and Xiangye paying so much attention to this case.
Could it be that Chu Tiankuo's case is related to Xiang Ye?
He thought about it for a while, Lu Hao killed Xiangye's daughter Xia He and was sentenced to death. And Chu Tiankuo and their intention to save Lu Hao caused Xiang Ye's anger and dissatisfaction, which is also reasonable. And Xia He is the queen's niece, and it is normal for the queen to ask about this matter. It also makes sense.
But what did he always feel was wrong?
Just when Dali Siqing Duan Zisheng was stunned, Xiang Ye smiled: "Everything is according to Lord Duan's wishes." I'm just from the sidelines. Although Lord Duan handled the case, he acted in accordance with the law. Master Duan is an impartial person, which is well known. ”
Hearing this, Dali Temple Shaoqing Yunbai secretly rolled his eyes and sneered in his heart. It's better to say than to sing! Xiangye is willing to just listen to the trial from the sidelines, that is impossible! He had expected that in the trial of the case for a while, the prime minister would definitely get in the way. He had already seen the last trial.
Duan Zisheng came back to his senses: "The lower officials strictly follow the teachings of the prime minister. ”
As soon as the words fell, Duan Zisheng turned around, walked to his seat, and walked to his seat.
