Chapter 38: Kneeling (Pink 720+)
In the small compartment on the left behind the main hall of Dali Temple, there is Emperor Xia Qi, who is out of the palace in microclothes.
Wang Zhiquan stood in front of Emperor Xia Qi with his waist bowed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace." After the review of Weichen, he will enter the palace and report to His Majesty, and there will never be the slightest concealment of mistakes and omissions. β
Emperor Xia Qi smiled and said, "Wang Aiqing is too worried. I happened to be okay today, so I went out for a walk. I was curious for a while, and I wanted to come to see Aiqing's trial, but I didn't mean anything else. You go and do your work, I'll just listen here. β
Wang Zhiquan saw that Emperor Xia Qi just refused to leave, and he no longer persuaded him, so he arched his hand and said: "Then Your Majesty will sit here, and Weichen will go out to try the case." β
Emperor Xia Qi raised his hand, "Go, go, go." β
Wang Zhiquan went out backwards, and saw the chief eunuch guarding both sides of the gate at the door, as well as Emperor Xia Qi's close guards, Wang Zhiquan nodded to them slightly, and turned to leave.
Emperor Xia Qidi sat alone in the small cubicle, and as soon as Wang Zhiquan's figure disappeared at the door of the compartment, Emperor Xia Qidi's face sank.
He thought about the report he had seen Wang Zhiquan in the palace just now, and only then did he know that in addition to Wu Chanjuan being killed and losing her double pupils, there was also a more terrifying thing, that is, the one that read "Heavy pupils are lost, and the saint is hidden." The wind and clouds change, and God will prosper"!
"Divine General's Mansion...... Divine General's Mansion ......," Emperor Xia Qi muttered, "This time, who are you on?" β
β¦β¦
In the small compartment on the right behind the main hall of Dali Temple, there is the empress dowager who is out of the palace in micro-clothes.
Wang Zhiquan came out of Emperor Xia Qi's compartment, turned a corner outside, and entered the small compartment on the right from the other side.
Two small cubicles behind the main hall of Dali Temple. It was originally purpose-built. A place for the main witnesses in important cases. It is very secretive, people inside can hear the sound outside, but people outside can't feel the movement inside.
The Empress Dowager was not good at specially summoning Wang Zhiquan into the palace for inquiry, so she also chose to go out of the palace in micro-clothes and came to Dali Temple to see Wang Zhiquan.
"Empress Dowager St. Ann." Wang Zhiquan bowed to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager bowed her head and said, "Lord Wang is exempt from courtesy." He also said: "The mourning family no longer takes care of the government, just an old woman who doesn't care about things, and Lord Wang doesn't need to be polite." β
Wang Zhiquan straightened up with a smile and said, "The Empress Dowager is too modest. "Not much to say. first presented the hard kraft paper note with big blood-red characters written on it, and said: "The Empress Dowager, the things on this are too important, so when I sent the Empress Dowager to the summons, I didn't say anything about it." β
The Empress Dowager smiled and took the note and looked at it, then handed it back to Wang Zhiquan, and said lightly: "The mourning family said early in the morning that this Lao Shizi has heavy pupils is a scourge. Now the scourge is finally dead, but it is still stirring up the storm. Pull the god's house into the water. As he spoke, he snorted softly. He asked Wang Zhiquan again, "In that case, the Divine General's Mansion will also come out to say something, right?" β
Wang Zhiquan bowed his head and said: "Weichen has sent a messenger to the Divine General's Mansion to summon people to inquire. β
The Empress Dowager smiled, "Well, you go and handle the case." The mourning family has nothing to do, and look at the excitement here. β
Wang Zhiquan bowed and withdrew, nodded to Female Officer Yao who was standing at the door of the compartment, and turned to leave.
β¦β¦
"Your Excellency is on the throne!"
In the loud announcement of the main hall of Dali Temple, Wang Zhiquan walked out of the back hall and sat on the top of the main hall of Dali Temple.
Under the majestic mirror hanging plaque, Wang Zhiquan, who was wearing a dark piping official uniform with a red background, had a grim face, which was different from the gentle and humorous in the hall in the past.
Kneeling under the hall now are the maids and daughters of Han Cuixuan who were brought out from the Wu Guo Mansion, and the night watchmen who found that the Ming Se Courtyard in the inner courtyard of the Wu Guo Mansion was on fire that day.
Han Cuixuan's maid and wife were taken away by Wang Zhiquan when he left the Wu Mansion, but this night watchman was sent by the old man Wu's hind feet, saying that there are some circumstances, and Wang Zhiquan should know about them.
Wang Zhiquan sat in the hall and watched his subordinates ask these maids and mothers-in-law one by one and make a record.
After a meal, the priest finally asked the night watchman.
To be precise, the night watchman had nothing to do with the case of Wu Chanjuan's murder, he was only related to the case of the fire in the Ming Se Courtyard.
Wang Zhiquan presided over the trial of the murder of Wu Chanjuan, but because he felt that the Mingse Yuan would not catch fire for no reason, he combined the two cases and started the trial at the same time.
There is even less human and physical evidence of the fire in Minse.
The only witness, this night watchman at the moment.
When Wang Zhiquan saw the night watchman kneeling in the hall, he put down the file in his hand and patiently listened to the questions of the yashi.
"Zhang Fifteen, were you patrolling the inner courtyard of Wu Guogong's Mansion last night?"
The night watchman answered honestly, and said, "There are ten night watchmen in all, and we always take turns to watch the night. Last night it was the turn of the little one. β
Ya Si nodded, "Tell me how you found out about the fire in Minseyuan last night?" β
The night watchman moved uneasily on the ground, raised his head slightly, glanced up, and just saw the Lord Cheng of Dali Temple looking at him fixedly, and hurriedly recounted the situation at that time, especially the two times when he felt someone passing in front of him.
Wang Zhiquan and Ya Si glanced at each other, and they both heard something unusual from the night watchman's mouth.
"Who have you told all these things?" Wang Zhiquan asked majestically from above.
The night watchman hurriedly kowtowed, "The little one only told our master." The old man said that this was unusual, so he sent the villain over to tell Lord Wang again. β
Wang Zhiquan nodded, "Is the man in black you saw twice the same person, or two different people?" What was he born like? How tall is it? Do you remember them all? β
The night watchman shook his head, "The man in black ran so fast that the villain disappeared without seeing who it was." β
ββ¦β¦ Disappeared? Are you sure you really saw it? Or is it dark and rainy, and you are just dazzled, seeing the shadow vine branches as the man in black? Wang Zhiquan asked with some disappointment.
The night watchman thought for a while, and then said: "Don't hide it from Lord Wang, the man in black that the villain saw for the first time, the villain can't be sure if he really saw it, maybe it was really dazzling." But the man in black who saw it for the second time, the villain was sure that he was indeed a person. β
"Oh? How is this determined? β
"Because at that time the villain was copying his hand on the verandah. It's raining heavily. When the man in black passed in front of the villain. A few drops of water are also flicked on the face of the villain. The villain remembers it clearly, and he never fabricates and conceals it. The night watchman kowtowed under the hall.
Wang Zhiquan nodded and said to him: "Okay, even if you see it, it can't be used as evidence in court, because you didn't see the person's appearance and figure, and you didn't hear the voice, and you don't even know whether it's a man or a woman." Yes and no? β
The night watchman thought for a moment, bowed his head and said, "What the adults said is that the villains really can't say anything else. β
"Well, step aside." Wang Zhiquan waved his hand to let the night watchman retreat.
He glanced at the priest and ordered him to present him the testimony he had just given.
As soon as Yasi presented the confession he had just recorded to Wang Zhiquan, he heard a sneer from the gate of Dali Temple, "Yo, this time, Wu Ke, the God of Wealth, and Liang Zi of the Divine General's Mansion have become ......."
Wang Zhiquan looked up and saw that it was the eldest son of the Empress Dowager's brother-in-law, Zhao Wuji, who walked in with two generals from the military department.
Zao Wou-Ki is now in charge of the garrison of the capital division. The murder of Lamp Street a few days ago was due to his dereliction of duty. There were many murderers hidden in the vacant houses on Caidao Zhì Lantern Street, and the lives of many children of official eunuchs were injured.
As a result, Emperor Xia Qi openly shielded his relatives, only fined Zao Wou-Ki for one year, and ordered him to track down the mastermind behind the scenes, but did not severely punish him.
Now seeing Zao Wou-Ki walking in, Wang Zhiquan's face was a little unsightly.
"Zhao Shoubei, General Cai, General Huang, Dali Temple is asking about the case, please don't bother." Wang Zhiquan said solemnly.
Zhao Wuji swayed and sat down on the first armchair at the head of the main hall, and said proudly: "I am the Jingshi guard. The Guogong Mansion in the capital has a life case, and I, as the guard of the capital, also have the right to follow up on this case! β
The two generals of the imperial army also had a tiger face, and sat down with Zao Wou-Ki at the bottom, just nodding to Wang Zhiquan.
Wang Zhiquan glanced at him, and wanted to dismiss him, but then he thought that Emperor Xia Qi was sitting in the cubicle at the back, if he drove Zhao Wuji away as soon as he opened his mouth, wouldn't it make Emperor Xia Qidi look bad?
Wang Zhiquan changed his words when he reached his mouth, he nodded, and said: "Zhao Shoubei has the heart to take care of the security of the capital, which is the blessing of His Majesty and the blessing of the people of the capital. β
These words are obviously holding Zao Wou-ki, but in fact, they are secretly still talking about the case of the murderer on Lamp Street.
The case has not yet been solved, and Zao Wou-Ki has reached out to Dali Temple again......
Zhao Wouji blushed a little when he heard this, but pretended not to hear Wang Zhiquan's voice, and said with a smile: "Of course, Lord Wang is the chief judge of this case, I just came to listen, audit, hahaha......"
Wang Zhiquan smiled and said, "Today's main people have already finished the trial, and Zhao Shoubei is a step late. β
"Am I late? Not necessarily......" Zhao Wouji shook a folding fan of Xiangfei bamboo in his hand, opened it and fanned it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I have heard since I was a child that Lord Wang is the great master of the blue sky in Great Xia, you can't be afraid of the powerful just because you have a high position!" β
Wang Zhiquan took a look, folded his arms on the long case in front of him, leaned forward slightly, looked at Zao Wou-Ki and asked, "May I ask what Lord Zhao means?" β
"It's not interesting. I heard that the cause of Miss Wu's death was suspicious, and there was a lot of rumors outside, and I was just curious. Zao Wou-Ki smiled and put the folding fan away and tapped it on the palm of his hand, "Lord Wang, there is no impermeable wall in this world. Don't hide it. β
"Zhao Shoubei, you have something to say."
"You let all the people in the hall go down first, and I'll just say it." Zao Wou-Ki smiled and pointed to Wang Zhiquan's case.
Seeing this, Wang Zhiquan waved his hand and asked the officials and officials in the hall to go down.
The maids and night watchmen in the Wu Mansion had already been taken to the prison by the government to be temporarily detained.
Even the door of the main hall of Dali Temple squeaked shut.
In the entire hall, only Wang Zhiquan and the two recorded officials sat on the top.
There is also Zao Wou-Ki and General Cai and General Huang of the Ministry of War.
Zhao Wuji saw that the irrelevant people were empty, so he nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that the case of Second Miss Wu is actually related to the Divine General's Mansion. Heavy pupils are lost, and the saint is hidden. When the storm changes, God will prosper. Hey, what a god is going to ...... They are already under one surname, above ten thousand surnames, and they are still prospering? Where is this going? Is it the Divine General's Mansion, which is no longer enough for them to live? ββThe dignified Divine General's Mansion can't even accommodate a heavy pupil saint, what face does he have to be the head of the four surnames? β
General Cai and General Huang also snorted coldly, their faces very unsightly.
Wang Zhiquan looked at the three of them fixedly, his eyes narrowed.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuji hurriedly said: "I heard about this from the waiter of the Criminal Department, don't think about it." β
Wang Zhiquan lowered his eyes and smiled. He was thinking too much, how could he do such a leaky case with a straw bag like Zao Wou-ki......
When Wang Zhiquan got these evidences, he had already made several backups, and sent one to the Criminal Department, His Majesty, and the Empress Dowager.
"Lord Wang, are you trying to protect the Divine General's Mansion? Hmph, the Divine General's Mansion has been majestic for nearly a thousand years, and it has become more and more arrogant, and it cares for human life! Zao Wou-Ki chattered non-stop, looking at Wang Zhiquan with slanted eyes and defiantly.
Wang Zhiquan's subordinates couldn't look at it, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhao, our lord has already sent someone from the Divine General's Mansion to come over for questioning. β
"Oh?" Zhao Wuji glanced at Wang Zhiquan with some surprise, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Lord Wang to really have the guts!" The lower officials admire and admire! β
Wang Zhiquan ignored him and glanced at the yasi, as if he was reproaching him for talking too much.
The priest lowered his head, and his face flushed.
No one in the hall spoke again, and it was silent for a while.
Because the gate was closed, only a little light could come through the windows on either side of the gate.
The hall was a little dark for a while.
A few people waited quietly for a meal, but they still didn't wait for someone from the Divine General's Mansion.
Zao Wou-Ki couldn't wait, stood up and said with a tiger face: "Lord Wang, I respect you for being a man, you have to talk about it!" β
"Why can't I talk anymore?" Wang Zhiquan raised his head and said slowly.
"Why don't you count?!" Zhao Wuji screamed strangely, "You said that the people from the Divine General's Mansion came to ask, we have been waiting for so long, not to mention the people from the Divine General's Mansion, even the cats and dogs of the Divine General's Mansion have not seen it, what are you talking about?!" β
Bang!
As soon as Zao Wou-Ki's words fell, he heard a loud bang at the gate, and the gate of Dali Temple was kicked open from the outside.
The people in the hall looked at it together.
I saw Zhou Huaixuan, the eldest son of the Divine General's Mansion, wearing a light robe and standing in front of the gate with a dashing expression.
Zhao Wuji rushed forward with a strange scream, pointed at Zhou Huaixuan and said excitedly: "You are finally here, still don't kneel?!" β
Zhou Huaixuan glanced at him coldly, stretched his arm back, fished out a person, and pushed it in front of Zhao Wouji.
The man glared at Zao Wou-Ki and almost wanted to swallow him in one gulp. - It is Zao Wou-ki's father, Marquis Zhao!
ββ¦β¦ Daddy...... "Zhao Wouji was dumbfounded when he saw his father, and he screamed in a trembling voice, trembling and kneeling down for Zhao Houye and Zhou Huaixuan!
