The people outside the yamen were a little far away from the public court, and they couldn't hear what the prime minister said clearly. But look at the reaction of Dali Siqing Duan Zisheng. It's weird. It looks like this case is tricky. He looked like he was in a dilemma.

Duan Zisheng, the secretary of Dali Temple in the yamen, was slightly shocked when he heard Xiangye's words at first, but he quickly reacted. He was not threatened by the words of the prime minister, and he was not afraid of offending the powerful. He has always enforced the law impartially and never resorted to favoritism. The Son of Heaven will be sentenced in Dali Temple for breaking the law.

Duan Zisheng was shocked: "Someone! Take these two suspects down, retry tomorrow, and retire! ”

Hearing this, the muscles on Xiangye's face were trembling angrily, and fire appeared in his eyes. He talked about this, and Duan Zisheng was still silent.

Before, he had never believed in the rumors of the people, saying that this Dali Temple was as big as the sky, and when I saw him today, I knew that the rumors were not false at all.

Xiang Ye was full of anger, and his face turned hideous. He was so angry that he opened his mouth, his hands trembled, and it took a long time for him to shout: "Lord Duan." Don't you want this black gauze hat on your head? ”

Threat! This is clearly a threat, a naked threat!

Duan Zisheng glanced at everyone coldly, slapped the shocked wood, and said: "This official is the secretary of Dali Temple, and he represents the law of the Great Western Kingdom!" As the saying goes, 'If a prince breaks the law, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people!' ’。 In my place, even if it is a relative of the emperor, you must behave properly. The official is acting in accordance with the law, and he will be retried tomorrow, so what can the prime minister do? ”

Xiang Ye was dumbfounded when Duan Zisheng said something. Smoke Chu Tiankuo and they looked at him in surprise, and a look of praise appeared in their eyes.

Xiangye's face turned blue and pale, as Xiangye, he was powerful, where was he not respectfully held? Unexpectedly, I would be in Dali Temple and touched the ash of my nose.

But what Duan Zisheng said, he was powerless to refute.

Duan Zisheng's face was solemn, and he shouted loudly: "Take these two suspects down, retry tomorrow, and retire!" ”

This is Dali Temple, not Xiangfu. The people in the yamen naturally listened to the order of Duan Zisheng of Dali Temple. The official of the public court, his face tightened suddenly, and he took a step.

Xiangye stopped: "I'll see who dares to move!" ”

The surrounding officials secretly looked at Duan Zisheng of Dali Temple, and saw that although he was a little surprised, he did not give another order. They are naturally happy not to have to conflict with Xiangye.

The officials who gathered around the public hall quietly returned to their original positions.

It's really hard to do. Dali Siqing Duan Zisheng looked embarrassed, in this case, he didn't want to fall out with Xiangye.

Chu Tiankuo saw the embarrassment of Dali Temple's Duan Zisheng, and he took the initiative to speak: "My lord, you can try it today." ”

Chi Le spoke very well, and then echoed: "Lord Duan." It's better to choose a day than to hit the day. Since Xiangye asked for a trial today, let's try it today. ”

Chi Le thought about their plans last night. He was thinking in his heart, Dongfang Hong should have found evidence at this time, right?

Dali Siqing synthesized everyone's opinions, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Then according to what everyone said, it will be judged today." ”

After a pause, Duan Zisheng said helplessly: "Come on, remove the brocade robe of the loyal and brave king!" ”

Several officials stepped forward and took off Chi Le's coat.

Duan Zisheng patted the shocked wood, and asked as usual: "Chu Tiankuo, you and Chi Le were charged with the crime of robbing prisoners, and you robbed Lu Hao, a death row prisoner." What is your defense for this allegation? ”

Chu Tiankuo puffed up his chest, looked at Duan Zisheng with resolute eyes, and said, "I admit that I hijacked the prisoner car. However, Lu Hao, a prisoner on death row, is not guilty of death. ”

Duan Zisheng was shocked and asked seriously, "What evidence do you have?" ”

Chu Tiankuo was stunned and had no words. He is only an inference, not a real evidence. However, above the court, we cannot listen to one-sided words, and everything is based on evidence and facts.

Seeing that Chu Tiankuo couldn't answer, Chi Le hurriedly played a round. He said in a sincere tone: "Master Duan, I have witnesses who can prove it. He is Dongfanghong. You spread the word that Dongfang Hong came here, and all the natural truth was revealed. ”

God bless, I hope you don't drop the chain at the critical moment!

In fact, when he said this, Chi Le didn't have any bottom in his heart. Dongfanghong is to investigate the cause of Xia He's death and Xia He's background. However, it has only been a few hours, what clues can Dongfanghong find? It would be nice if we found out the truth. If you don't find out anything, it's over.

Hey, he's dead. What can you do? He shouldn't have echoed Chu Tiankuo just now. One more minute of delay will give one more time for investigation and evidence collection. He did something stupid.

Hearing Chi Le say that he had Dongfanghong as a witness, Xiangye couldn't help but sweat secretly. Xiangye never dared to despise Dongfanghong. He has always believed in Dongfanghong's ability. In case, Dongfanghong really found something, so what should it be?

It seems that in order to prevent long nights and dreams, this matter can still be determined. Let Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le be punished, and he will be at ease.

"Someone. Go and find Dongfanghong, the head catcher of the prefect's yamen. Dali Temple Qing Duan Zisheng summoned a few officials and commanded.

Several officials received the order and immediately went out of Dali Temple to find Dongfanghong.

In the court, Duan Zisheng tried the case in an orderly manner. Before the official found Dongfang Hong, Duan Zisheng asked Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le about some details of the case.

……

Seeing that it was almost noon, the officials of Dali Temple had not yet found Dongfanghong.

Outside the yamen, more and more people gathered. After a short time, the outside of the yamen was surrounded by water. Among those people, there are Lu Caier and Shui Vein. The two of them stood in the crowd outside the yamen, tiptoeing and looking in worriedly.

Although, they came a little late. I don't know what happened before. However, from the voices of the people around them, they already heard the clues.

Dongfanghong is delayed in the future. The onlookers were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. At 10 o'clock at lunchtime, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Although they like to watch the excitement, no matter how big the entertainment is concerned, it is not as important as filling their stomachs. Whoever has an empty stomach has no interest.

Xiangye only hopes that Duan Zisheng will close the case and sentence him soon. He didn't feel hungry.

However, Xiangye doesn't feel hungry, and the others feel hungry. The Dali Temple Qing Duan Zisheng in the hall, the Dali Temple Shaoqing Yunbai, and the officials were all hungry.

After waiting for a long time, I still didn't see Dongfanghong coming.

Duan Zisheng couldn't wait any longer, he slapped the shocked wood and said loudly: "Intermission." After an hour, the church will be held again. ”

No one has any objections.

Xiangye was led by Shaoqing of Dali Temple and went to the dining hall. Niu Kelian and Xu Xiucai followed closely behind.

Immediately, the officials stepped forward and escorted Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le to dinner.
