Chapter 426: On Guilt and Punishment
Although, the two of them are now suspects. However, there are still human rights that should be there. No one can deprive them of their right to eat. No one has a rule that criminals cannot eat.
Of course, so far, they have not been found guilty. They're just suspects.
Facing the escort of the official beside him, Chi Le frowned, very displeased: "We can go by ourselves." Don't bother. ”
The servants immediately let go of their hands.
Yanxiang was trying to follow those yamen, chasing Senior Brother and Brother Chi Le. Suddenly, she raised her eyes and glanced hurriedly, as if she caught a glimpse of two familiar figures standing in the doorway.
She thought it was a hallucination that she was dizzy from hunger. She rubbed her eyes and looked wide. It's real, it's not an illusion. It's really Sister Shuimai and Sister Lan who are here.
She was in a complicated mood, full of grievances and complaints, and couldn't wait to run towards the two of them.
Seeing the incense of smoke, the expressions of Shui Wei and Lan Ayayu were surprisingly consistent, and they felt relieved. Originally, the cigarette was missing, and they were still looking for it everywhere. I searched everywhere, but I couldn't see anyone. Although everyone knows in their hearts, it is very likely that the smoke incense came to Dali Temple. However, before they saw her, their hearts were still carried.
Sure enough, the incense really came to Dali Temple. Either way, as long as she's safe. At this juncture, don't make any other mess.
They did not verbally scold the cigarettes.
The cigarette growled with hunger. At this time, no amount of other thoughts is more important than eating.
Yanxiang planned to take them to the dining hall of Dali Temple.
"Sister Shuimai, Sister Lan, you must be hungry too, right? Let's go to dinner together. Smoke Xiang said bluntly.
"There you go. I'm not hungry. Lan Ayayu and Shui Wei said in unison.
They looked so sad that they lost their interest in eating when they saw the cigarettes.
Yanxiang was upset, smiled, and had to say, "Sister Lan, Sister Shuimai." I will tell you what happened in the courtroom. ”
Both Shui Wei and Lan Ayayu nodded.
Smoke told them everything that happened in the court, 1510 as it was.
"Lord Duan was supposed to be tried again tomorrow, but Xiangye had to insist on today. Xiangye seems to have made up his mind that Senior Brother and Big Brother Chi Le must go to prison. Smoke concluded.
After listening to the relays of the cigarettes, Shui Mai was very worried: "So, even my senior brother was dragged into the water?" ”
Smoke smiled wryly and nodded. Now, I have to wait for the good news of Big Brother Dongfang.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
At this moment, Dongfang Hong appeared behind them coldly. It's like a ghost.
This really scared the smoke out of the way. However, she quickly regained her composure, and couldn't help but say, grabbed Dongfang Hong, and asked with a split face: "Brother Dongfang." Xia He's case, how are you investigating? Has the truth about the maid's death been found out? ”
Dongfang Hong glanced at her lightly and shook her head helplessly.
At this moment, everyone's faces were sauce-colored, and they looked like they were covered with a shadow, revealing a sense of sadness.
After an hour's recess, the church was then promoted.
Above the public court, there is a big gold signboard with the words "honest and honest". Dali Temple Qing Duan Zisheng sat directly below the plaque in the public hall. Dali Temple Shaoqing Yunbai sat next to him.
The officials in the hall wore red and white official uniforms, standing in two rows, majestic and solemn!
In addition to the officials and officials of Dali Temple, there are Chi Le, Yanxiang, Xiangye, Niu Kelian, Xu Xiucai, Dongfang Hong, Lan Ayayu, and Shui Mai.
"My lord, you can get started." Shaoqing of Dali Temple looked around and said respectfully to Duan Zisheng.
Dali Siqing Duan Zisheng nodded, walked to the desk and sat down, picked up the shocking wood with his right hand, slapped it violently, and shouted: "Ascend to the hall!" ”
Duan Zisheng made a sonorous shot, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn.
"Wei ...... Military! ”
More than a dozen officials made a dull and solemn voice, like a burst of thunder.
Duan Zisheng's profound gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice: "Today, this official is here to try the case of prisoner robbery, in order to show justice, and allow the people to observe. If you have any doubts, you can raise them on the spot. The official will answer your questions. ”
"Someone, bring the suspect Chu Tiankuo, Chi Le to the court!" Dali Temple Shaoqing Yunbai spoke, and then a few voices spread above the public hall:
"Take the suspect Chu Tiankuo, Chi Le to the court!"
"Take the suspect Chu Tiankuo, Chi Le to the court!"
"Take the suspect Chu Tiankuo, Chi Le to the court!"
Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le were brought to the hall by the officials, both of whom were dressed in prison uniforms.
The next trial became more and more unfavorable to Chu Tiankuo and them. Because, it is a fact that they rob prisoners. But they had no way to prove that Lu Hao was not guilty of death. There is no way to prove that Xia He died strangely.
Feng Nanyang gave Dongfanghong the task, but Dongfanghong did not complete it. He had no clue about Xia He's death. I don't know anything about the details of the dead maid.
The situation is developing according to Sangye's expectations. The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Chu Tiankuo and them.
The incense of smoke, the blue ayayu and the water veins are all anxious.
Chi Le and Chu Tiankuo were faintly worried at this time.
After two hours of trial, all the unfavorable evidence pointed to Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le.
In the end, Duan Zisheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, had no choice but to pronounce the verdict: "Chu Tiankuo, the son of Huaifan, committed the crime of robbing prisoners, and because he was the main offender, he was sentenced to life imprisonment." Chi Le, the king of Zhongyong, was an accomplice and sentenced to ten years in prison. ”
As soon as this conclusion came out, everyone was not happy. In this case, there are two camps.
One faction is the smoke of the East and the red of them. They thought that Dali Siqing was a little hasty. Such a punishment is too severe.
The other faction is Xiangye Niu Kelian them. They thought the sentence was too light. There is a cloud in the law of the Great Western Kingdom: Whoever robs the prisoner will be beheaded. (Prisoners, without distinction between chiefs and subordinates, but robbed and sitted, do not need to be imprisoned.) )
The crime of robbery shall be the same as the crime and shall be punishable by death.
Xiangye immediately objected: "Lord Duan, such a verdict. Unconvincing. The evidence is conclusive enough to convict. ”
Duan Zisheng was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Then according to Xiangye's opinion, how should it be decided?" “
Xiang Ye looked at him with a threatening face, and said in a threatening tone: "You should be punished for the crime." ”
Niu Kelian and Xu Xiucai, who were beside him, stepped forward to speak one after another and helped Xiangye.
Xiang Ye was satisfied, and looked at Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le defiantly.
Chi Le glared at Xiangye hatefully. He never expected that he would be bitten back by Xiangye.
Chu Tiankuo didn't say a word, and seemed to agree on such a verdict.
Yanxiang glared at Xiangye angrily. Although she didn't scold, in her heart, she had already greeted the eighteenth generation of her ancestors.
The joke is familiar with the law. Xiangye is not wrong in saying that the crime should be punished. Not only Chu Tiankuo, but also Chi Le.
It is clearly stipulated that all prisoners will be beheaded.
