In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the Tingwei Mansion began to hurry up the arraignment of the two key criminals.

The Imperial Palace, a huge main hall.

Ye Fan sat in the seat of the chief judge of the main hall.

The Tingwei Mansion has Ling Hong, the chief secretary of the Tingwei, and Ye Fan, the deputy Tingwei Shaoqing, and the two are the chief adjutants of the Tingwei.

Ling Hong was a member of the royal family, and he usually presided over the trial of cases in the Tingwei Mansion.

But the monarch asked Ye Fan to be in charge of investigating these two major cases, and the presiding judge became Ye Fan.

On both sides of the lobby of the Imperial Palace, there are as many as 100 seats, all of which are observer seats for the ministers of the imperial court.

These two heinous cases involve a wide range of cases, and most of the cases have to be tried in public.

All ministries of the imperial court also sent ministers to observe the trial.

Ling Jiaojiao also appeared in the Tingwei hall to hear the two cases.

Ye Fan said: "Shengtang! The case of poisoning and murdering the monarch, as well as the case of killing the monarch in Jinluan Palace, the two cases will be tried concurrently. Bring the culprit here!"

Soon, many of the criminals were pressed into the lobby of the court captain.

"In the case of poisoning and murdering the monarch, the facts of the case are clear, and many pieces of evidence such as physical evidence, human witnesses, and confessions are conclusive. The second prince, Ling Feihui, instructed his adviser Su Yang to bribe the palace maid and murder the monarch with underwater poison. Now, Ling Feihui is sentenced to death with poisoned wine and Su Yang is beheaded. ”

Ye Fan said lightly.

In the case of poisoning the monarch, there were relatively few people involved, only a few key people. Second Wangye, Su Yang and others, and maybe others are among them.

But Ye Fan didn't plan to inquire about the case in detail at all, so he quickly cut through the mess and directly convicted and got rid of the two most critical characters.

The second prince was escorted to kneel in the hall, his face was full of rebelliousness, and when he heard that Ye Fan directly sentenced him to death, he couldn't help but sneer, "Ye Fan, this is the first time that this prince has seen you like this." Don't you want to know the real truth of this case? Or are you afraid that this prince will say something?"

"The second prince is famous! Do you want to add something to the poisoning and killing of the king, so as to involve more people in the case? Or do you want me to go to the second prince's mansion and find out more accomplices and criminals? I defend the second prince in this way. The second prince still doesn't appreciate it?!"

Ye Fan smiled lightly, his eyes sank.

The second prince was stunned for a long time, and finally didn't speak again.

He was definitely going to die, but if the fox beast was made public, his reputation after his death would be ruined.

The king is not willing to open his mouth when he dies, so how can he be willing to open his mouth.

Ye Fan's threat was to shut him up.

In case he angered the monarch, he asked Ye Fan to copy the second prince's mansion in anger, and the result would make him shudder. That's what he never wants.

"This prince pleaded guilty! The poisoning incident was instructed by me to Su Yang, and it has nothing to do with others!"

The second prince was completely out of line and softened.

"Since the second prince has pleaded guilty, there is nothing to say, and the case of poisoning the monarch is closed. In addition, the Canglan State Sea Fishing Document was released, and Su Yang, who escaped from prison, was arrested!"

Ye Fan saw that the second prince pleaded guilty, so he directly closed the case.

The ministers and officials in the hall were shocked.

This heinous case of poisoning the monarch. Every 10-day and 8-day interrogation time revealed every detail of the case. It is difficult to satisfy the king.

Ye Fan's trial was really fast. Before he finished three sentences, he let the rebellious second prince take the initiative to bow his head and confess his guilt, and closed a monstrous case that shook the Canglan country.

Ye Fan continued, "Next is the case of the Jinluan Palace forcing the queen of the palace with the intention of killing the king. There are many cases involved in this case, but everyone in the Jinluan Palace is watching, and everyone can see it clearly. All those who openly supported the second prince in the main hall. All are repeat offenders in this case!"

"Arraignment of the Eleventh Prince!"

"Interrogation of the Ministry of War, Shangshu Rui Liangzhi!"

"Interrogate Qin Qing, the county lord of Fengwan County!"

"Arraignment of Li Hao."

"Arraignment."

Ye Fan read dozens of names in one breath. These are all on the Jinluan Palace, and they took the initiative to stand up and support the second prince. "The above people openly supported the second prince to force the queen of the palace on the Jinluan Palace, intending to usurp the throne. The official sentenced the above royal family relatives involved in the case to be removed from their titles, and all the ministers were dismissed. Dispatch the frontier to serve as an army for a hundred years to atone for great sins. ”

Rui Liangzhi was immediately unconvinced, and shouted loudly: "This official is not convinced! The queen has been in charge of the country for a year, and this official has supported the second prince to shoulder the responsibility of supervising the country, and has not participated in forcing the palace to usurp the throne." ”

"Oh, seventeen officials and generals of the military department secretly signed a handwritten document of allegiance to the second prince, supporting the second prince to force the palace to seize the throne in the Jinluan Palace. Among these people, you are the leader. Do you need me to name all of them so that you can confront them in court?"

Ye Fan said coldly.

He casually wrote down a list of seventeen people, and said to the court lieutenant officials who were waiting outside: "According to this list, go to the military headquarters to arrest people! Since Lord Rui does not admit his guilt, then let's have a good argument with these subordinates of yours." ”

"It's my lord!"

The court lieutenant officials hurriedly took the list and brought a large number of Praetorian Guards to arrest people.

"This."

Rui Liangzhi was stunned and looked sluggish.

There were seventeen important members of the military department, and on the eve of the palace mutiny, they secretly signed documents and pledged allegiance to the second prince.

But this matter is extremely secretive and has never been made public.

Even most of them have not been exposed and have not been arrested, how did Ye Fan know so clearly?

The ministers and officials who were listening in the Tingwei hall were also dumbfounded, looking at Ye Fan's gaze, they were simply in awe.

There was a palace mutiny yesterday, and today Ye Fan gave a pot to the seventeen members of the rebel party who were deeply hidden in the military department. The efficiency of this investigation is simply appalling.

Ye Fan looked at the prisoners, groaned, and added: "Li Hao reported in the prison last night that he had escaped from prison, and his crime was reduced by one degree. Sent the frontier army to atone for twenty years. ”

"Lord Xie Ye, be gracious!"

Li Hao was surprised and fell to the ground.

He was deeply involved in the case, and he thought that the death penalty would not escape. Unexpectedly, he was only sentenced to 20 years of exile and conscription, and he simply escaped.

"The great crime of treason, in the past, the practice was to behead the Manchu family, but the king was tolerant, so he pardoned your family, and only asked about the sins of your people. You have served your sentences well at the border and made meritorious contributions to your crimes. If you commit another crime. The sin will be increased by one degree, and your family will be implicated. ”

Ye Fan admonished. The main culprits in both cases were tried.

In the following month, there were a large number of other accomplices who followed the second prince, many of whom had no clear evidence. As long as they don't let their bite go, it is extremely difficult to find evidence. It is more troublesome to convict them, and it is necessary to find out whether they are deeply involved in the case. Again, very difficult.

But this is not difficult for Ye Fan.

He can rely on the power of death to directly find a large amount of information that others can't see. As long as it falls on a scroll of paper or a secret letter, he can see it. Naturally, it was extremely fast to investigate.

Ye Fan convicted thousands of accomplices at an unimaginable speed within a month. Poisoned alcohol, executions, dismissals, commutations, distribution of border troops, and so on.

Ling Hong, the secretary of the court, admired it very much, "Brother Ye, the old man has been the secretary of the court for more than ten years, and he has tried many large and small cases, and it is the first time I have seen you judge a case so quickly." These two big cases are to be tried by the old man. The case can be as long as one year or as long as three or five years, otherwise the case will not be closed. Investigating the case in a month, the old man is unimaginable. ”

"Where! The monarch doesn't want to delay it too long, and I can only decide the case quickly. These two cases can only be hastily concluded, and there are still many details in the case that are omitted, and there is no way to investigate them in detail. ”

Ye Fan smiled lightly.

He knew best the real reason for closing the case so quickly. The monarch will not live long. Without so much effort to investigate carefully, he closed these two major cases as soon as possible and made them public. Only the king can have peace of mind.

After closing these two major cases, there are only two major things left in Canglan China: the palace test and the canonization of the crown prince.

He will definitely compete for this leader.

As for who to appoint as the crown prince, it depends on what the king thinks.

Palace.

Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Monarch Ling Rui took the two major case files submitted by Ye Fan and carefully read them from beginning to end.

The facts of the case were very "clear", and he was deeply satisfied with the crimes condemned to the rebels.

The second prince, Ling Feihui, is a prince after all, and he gave him a glass of poisonous wine. It's also a whole corpse.

There are too many other ministers involved in the case, and if they are all executed, it will inevitably hurt the national strength of Canglan. Being sent to the frontier to serve as an army to atone for his sins is naturally the best way, but it has greatly strengthened the border defense of the Canglan country.

The monarch couldn't help but nod in his heart.

He wasn't worried about the troubles that would happen to the prisoners after they were assigned to the frontier. Most of the prisoners were from big families. If you don't want to harm your family, you can only serve your sentence honestly. Otherwise, the crime will be added to the first degree, and even the family will be implicated.

This Ye Fan is still very sensible in dealing with everyone, and he understands the heart of the king. The only regret is that Su Yang escaped in Tingwei Prison.

"Father, how do you think Ye Fan handled these two cases?"

Ling Jiaojiao asked cautiously.

"It's very much in line with the king's intentions. Jiao'er, you have a good vision, and the recommended talents are indeed the pillars of the Canglan country. The palace examination is about to begin, let him prepare for the palace examination with peace of mind! After the palace examination, this king will naturally reuse him. He is extraordinarily good at adjudicating cases, so let him be the secretary of the court. Ling Hong is old, it's time for him to retire. ”

The monarch said lightly.

Now inside and outside the imperial court, in the ten major county governments, a large number of official positions are vacant. It is necessary to promote a group of young Wuhou officials to come up with exceptions.

"Great, let Ye Fan be in charge of the court captain, and the domestic suckers don't dare to act rashly!"

Ling Jiaojiao couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The Imperial Commander was the highest judicial officer in charge of the prison in the vassal states, and was one of the nine important ministers of the imperial court.

Usually requires the qualifications of the leader of the palace examination, and has served in the imperial court for more than ten years, and can only be trusted by the monarch to serve, Ye Fan almost ascended to the sky in one step and became one of the nine most important ministers in the core of the Canglan Kingdom.

Seeing Ling Jiaojiao so happy, the monarch couldn't help but smile.

But he still has headaches.

Originally, he was actually very optimistic about the second child, and was ready to die in forty or fifty years and let the second child take over the throne. It's a pity that the second child couldn't bear it, and couldn't wait to kill the king and usurp the throne, and was given the death penalty.

Now there are the third and fifth children left, and they are quite capable among the princes, but the two of them are half a pound and eight taels.

Who should the crown prince choose gave him a little headache.

"Jiao'er, you said that your third brother or fifth brother, which of them is better?"

"The child doesn't dare to say that the choice of the crown prince is the father's sacred heart! But no matter which father chooses, they don't force me and the queen mother to be cornered. ”

"That's nature! This king has always doted on the queen and Jiao'er, whoever dares to embarrass you, this king will take care of them. Wait for my father to think about who will inherit the crown prince!"
