Chapter 54: Leaving a name in history
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard of Huixian Hall, Su Wen's alcohol woke up without a warning.
"Take the money, the right is the money I pay." James Xie Tu didn't follow, and grabbed Su Wen's sleeve, and the two pulled up on the street, attracting the sideways of passers-by, but Su Wen took advantage of James Xie Tu's inattention and took out an object from his sleeve.
"No silver," Su Wen was even more proud after he succeeded, "You are embarrassed to say that it is not a shame for the imperial guards, how much money do you have in a year, and I am a six-grade forward school calculation, I don't believe it, you are in front of the emperor, those Shangshu squires and governors from other provinces don't take care of you?" Who believes! ”
"No, I'm clean and self-conscious, and my sleeves are breezy," James Xie's face did not change, "I'll remember it here today, and you invite me tomorrow." ”
"Please," Su Wen said perfunctorily, "Old Zhan, Ming'er, don't forget to prepare two altars of incense for me!" ”
"No." When James saw that he wanted to get on the horse, he refused very simply.
"That can't try the case, and you won't have a light on your face." Su Wen said with a smile.
"Then you still use two altars?" James Shetto hesitated.
"Hehe, it's cheap, it's a mallet, heh, one altar is for trial cases, and one altar is reserved for the old man, hiccup-" Su Wen stepped on the horse, looked at James Xie Tu and said with a smile, "Old Zhan, don't say it, I usually don't think about the dishes in Huixiantang, why are you so delicious?" ”
"Phew, eat me and drink mine, Ming'er will use mine, you wait." James Shetto grabbed his reins.
"Let go! Hehe, angry is angry, this is the right thing, don't forget Ming'er, without this full hall of incense, I'm afraid this case can't be tried, well, it's been twenty days, and this eagle should be almost over. Su Wen snatched the reins, clamped his legs, and the horse ran forward without hurrying.
"This letter came at a good time, God helped the old man to work successfully, standing at the camp gate and calling the three armies, the big and small children listened to the roots and seedlings, the head was drummed, the war rice was made, the two drums, the battle robes were tightened, the three drums were drummed, and the knife was out of the sheath,......"
In the distance, under the cover of night, there was the sound of his heartless Peking opera......
Seeing Su Wen walking farther and farther, James Xie Tu hurriedly got on the horse, and when he rushed back to King Xuan's mansion, he was sitting on a chair drinking tea, waiting for him.
"All arranged?" The man looked at him and smiled.
"Yes, Su Wenming will go to the arraignment tomorrow, what should I say,...... I've said it too, my lord, Su Wen rolled in......"
"This play, if you want to do it really, you offend the Criminal Department, and you just want to borrow their hands to check his details, besides, with his temper, he is not cornered, will he honestly listen to our mercy?" The man's voice was not high, and his tone was not strict, but he had a momentum of his own, "Our messenger, the first thing we think about is the emperor and the court!" The life and death of the court of Gou Li is not because of love and righteousness,...... Janschel Tu, you, do it yourself. ”
The man patted James Shetto on the shoulder, and floated away, disappearing into the night in the courtyard.

After drinking all night's wine, when Su Wen arrived at the Yamen compound of the Criminal Department on the second day, the stone lion in front of the door was like yesterday, but the front of the courtyard was full of horses with shiny coats, as well as a bamboo silk sedan chair carried by several eight people, and a small sedan chair was also discharged more than a mile away.
From the princes and nobles to the officials of the Eight Banners, there were many horseback riders and few sedan chairs, and the military position was strictly regulated.
But the country has been peaceful for a long time, this regulation was intentionally or unintentionally violated, and it was not until Emperor Xuanguang ascended the throne that this rule was reiterated, so the flag people traveled whether they were princes or officials, most of them rode horses, and there were many Han horseback riders, and there were many people who sat in a sedan chair, but the minister of the study and the six Shangshu squires were allowed to sit in a sedan chair.
Su Wen knew that at this time, the ministers of the council and the ministers of the upper study were afraid that they had already arrived.
Shi Lang, the official of the Criminal Department, waited at the door early and welcomed him in with a smile on his face. Looking at him smiling, Su Wen knew that today was the last day, and he also knew the consequences of not being able to judge, so he couldn't run away as a scapegoat, and besides, not only himself, but also the entire Xian'an Palace would also be eaten.
Entering the signing room of the yamen of the Criminal Department, Yin Tang, Hongyi, Chang Adai, Gao Sai, Zhang Fengzao, Oroqa, Zhou Zupei, Sun Shilin, Wei Ying, Shen Tingyang, Sima Baishan, Ke Kun, Qian Mu and others were already sitting.
Today is the last day, Hongyi also knows, but Su Wen is hand-picked by the emperor, and he has not passed through him, he has something to say but can't say more, it is inconvenient to say more, but looking at today's frame, he really sweated for Su Wen, and then looked at Su Wen, or that harmless appearance of humans and animals, he thought, if he can't be judged, how to round this field, how to protect Su Wen.
Gao Sai talked to everyone while also taking the time to look at Su Wen, today he is singing the leading role alone, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but he can't see how you end up in the trial, he thinks about the girl of the Necai family, Ming'er has a time when you cry.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the hour is not too early, so let's go to the court to ask about the case." Yin Tang said with a smile, Su Wen didn't expect him to take this errand, and he was also a little annoyed, this Fuqing father and son have obviously been much more estranged from King Zheng's Mansion since the show girl read the selection.
The chief speaker spoke, and the people who drank water, smoked hookahs, and moved their muscles and bones in the signing room were noisy, and they all knew that they couldn't make a mistake when they went to court.
Su Wen hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, this is not good, there are too many people, this is like boiling an eagle, boiling until the fire, you can't startle the eagle." ”
Yin Tang looked at him and smiled, "Then what do you say should be done?" ”
"Princes, Zhongtang and adults just go next door and listen quietly." Su Wen look at everyone.
"This? ......" Colquin was about to raise an objection, but Yin Tang interrupted him with a smile, "The emperor just let us listen, he didn't say let us ask about the case, so it's done, okay!" He led the way towards the lobby.
After entering the next door to the lobby, Su Wen pointed to the two factions of soldiers holding water and fire sticks on both sides, "You guys, go down too." ”
The two rows of soldiers were not like the officers and students of Xian'an Palace, listening to his dispatch, Colquin and Zhao Che glanced at each other, and waved their hands, "Cheng, listen to him, go." ”
"You, go back and remember." Su Wen pointed to the scribe in the lobby.
"Then there are just the two of you in the lobby, how can this be judged?" Colcoin couldn't help it.
"Yes, just the two of us." Su Wen said with a smile, he looked at Zhao Che, "Extraordinary cases should be used in extraordinary cases." ”
"The Buddha is here, do you still need this incense? Master of Science and Technology, let him toss. Zhao Che comforted.
Colcoin glared at him, blew a beard under his chin and lifted it straight up, and walked next door with Zhao Che.
There was no one in the lobby of the entire three-wing building at this time, no, there was one person, that is, the chief judge of the case, who was sitting in the hall by himself, thoughtful.
In the past nearly 20 days, after all kinds of punishments, it is no longer possible to describe this person as if he were going to die, in front of this kind of person, to ask him to say a word, it is like rewarding himself with a gold ingot, then to confess is tantamount to giving himself a mountain of gold.
Disturbed and distraught, he quickly closed his eyes and wanted to sit quietly for a while, but unfortunately, the sound of the damn chain mopping the floor sounded again.
Hearing the sound of chains clanging, the next door was silent, and most of them were waiting to see their jokes, which could be seen from the way Shicai looked in the signing room.
At this moment, Su Wen felt that he was not asking about the case in the lobby of the Criminal Department, fate seemed to be judging him, perhaps, he would have to go to prison today, but if he wanted to remain in heaven, he had to cross this threshold.
The sound of the chain automatically stopped, Su Wen took a look, not far from him, not close, it seems that this assassin really doesn't know how many times, formed a habit, that position he is already very familiar with.
Next door, Yin Tang picked up a piece of watermelon and said in a low voice, "This kid's head is different from ordinary people, no matter what he says, everyone thinks it's strange, but don't be silent." ”
Before the words fell, a shocking word came from the front hall-
"The emperor has died!"
Yin Tang was almost choked by this sweet watermelon, and everyone looked at him quietly, this head melon really made the donkey kick, this is a big disrespectful crime, if you don't get it, you will lose your head.
Hongyi frowned and looked at the green outside without saying a word.
Gao Sai smiled and whispered to Qian Mudao, "Even after this case is tried, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department cannot sit idly by." Qian Mu looked outside and nodded.
In the lobby, the assassin also raised his head, his eyes also round, and he looked disbelieving.
"Alas, the emperor died, and you can't escape death." Su Wen stared at the assassin.
"I didn't even want to live." The Assassin spoke.
The people next door were stunned again, in the past ten days, this was the first thing he said.
"Yes, throughout the ages, there are many people who dare to assassinate the emperor and kill the driver, Liu Yu, the deposed emperor of the Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao of Jingzong of Western Xia, Wan Yan of Jin Xizong, Wan Yan Liang of Jin Hailu, and Shuode Ba of Yuan Yingzong, all died in the hands of assassins, but, you are the first to assassinate the emperor of this dynasty!"
He looked at the assassin and stood up, "Today is the last day, otherwise, all the ministers of the council king, the ministers of the upper study, and the six ministries and nine secretaries will come today, and this will not be possible, let me be a little official to judge you, but no matter what, you are dead." ”
The assassin suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing at the wound, but the smile was bared with teeth, "The eldest husband is dead, people are inherently dead, death is lighter than a feather, and some are heavier than Mount Tai......"
"Don't you just say that you will leave a name in history?" Su Wen smiled and slowly paced to the middle of the hall, and the assassin looked at him straight without flinching.
"Sit." But he sat down on the ground.
The assassin hesitated, and sat down in pain.
"Do you know what they asked me to do?" Su Wen said
"Let me confess!" The assassin said, his cheeks sunken, but his eyes were still sharp.
"Yes, let you confess yourself, if you have accomplices, by the way, you can also confess your accomplices," Su Wen smiled, "But, I am not prepared to interrogate you at all." ”
