Chapter 875 Trial of the case
readx;? Chapter 875 Trial
The shopkeeper's eyes flickered, and he responded, "Ming...... Got it......"
Looking at his erratic eyes, Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "Until now, do you think I don't dare to kill you?"
"I didn't ...... There is no ...... "The shopkeeper actually really has this mind." Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"My name is Shangguan Xiu. His voice was not loud, but the name Shangguan Xiu easily shattered the shopkeeper's last psychological defense.
He is a member of the Song family, and if others want to deal with him, they will more or less worry about Song Sheng's side.
But Shangguan Xiu is different, he and Song Sheng are completely incompatible, and they can't wait to kill each other at once.
The most terrible thing is that Shangguan Xiu is the prince of the country, and his identity is only above Song Sheng, not below Song Sheng. I fell into the hands of Shangguan Xiu today, but I'm afraid it's not good.
The shopkeeper's snot and tears flowed out together, and he begged urgently: "Your Highness spares your life...... Your Highness spares ......"
Shangguan Xiu snorted and said, "If you want to live, it's simple, just listen to my arrangement, and I will protect your life." ”
"Whatever the adults command, the villains will obey. ”
"I heard that Tai'an Grain Store has been selling illicit salt in Ning County. Shangguan Xiu said slowly.
The shopkeeper is not a fool, as soon as he heard this, he immediately understood that Shangguan Xiu was trying to collect evidence of Song Sheng's crimes. He subconsciously shook his head and said, "No ......"
"Dare you say no, you didn't try. Shangguan Xiu said with a smile.
In a word, the sophistry that made the shopkeeper come to his mouth was swallowed back into his stomach. The taste of being planed so much is not something that people can bear, it is a hard way to shave a layer of skin and flesh, and I feel that the flesh hurts and the liver trembles when I think about it, and the shopkeeper does not have the courage to bear it again. He snorted and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, the villain is just a matter of orders, even if the villain has the courage to sell illicit salt alone......! This is all an order from Lord Song, yes, yes, the villain secretly sold the private salt under the order of Lord Song......"
"Which Lord Song, tell me clearly!"
"Yes...... It's Lord Song Sheng!"
"Do you dare to testify against him?" Shangguan Xiu asked word by word.
"Dare! The villain dares! The villain dares to testify! As long as the adult releases the villain, the villain dares to ...... anything."
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and slapped the shopkeeper in the face. He sneered and said, "Lord Song is a dignified minister of internal history, how can he know the law and break the law and sell illicit salt in Ning County?
Shangguan Xiu's slap, coupled with his words, made the shopkeeper dumbfounded. Now that he is confused, Shangguan Xiu suddenly investigated the private salt business of Tai'an Grain Bank, wasn't it to deal with Song Sheng?
Now that he is willing to stand up and testify against Song Sheng, how can he say that he is framed?
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper immediately said: "Your Highness, what the villain said is true, Tai'an Grain Store sells illicit salt in Ning County, this ...... This is indeed Song Sheng's order......"
Still didn't finish speaking, and the shopkeeper received another slap in the face. Shangguan Xiu said coldly: "Think about it again, whose order is this. ”
"Yes...... It's Song Sheng......"
"Think again!"
"Yes...... Be...... It's ......" was slapped three times in a row, and even if the shopkeeper was an idiot, he could see that Shangguan Xiu was not making a show, and Shangguan Xiu didn't want to pour it on Song Sheng's head for selling illicit salt.
His cheeks were swollen and bloody, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Your Highness...... Your Highness thinks who gave the instruction, and I ask Your Highness to make it clear......"
"This incident was obviously done by Song Xuan, the son of the Song family! Song Xuan traveled thousands of miles from Shangjing to Fengyang, could it be that he came to play? Wasn't the purpose of his visit to Fengyang to supervise the sale of illicit salt by the Tai'an Grain Store?
The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, looked at Shangguan Xiu blankly, and after a while, he came back to his senses, nodded like pounding garlic, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes! His Royal Highness is aware of everything, in a word, Tai'an Grain Store sells illegal salt, and it is indeed under the instructions of Song Xuan and Song Gongzi!"
Shangguan Xiu's face showed a satisfied smile, patted the shopkeeper's cheek lightly, and then stood up and said, "Help him bandage his wounds, remember, use the best gold sore medicine." While speaking, Shangguan Xiu walked towards the outside of the cellar without looking back.
The next day, in the morning.
Shangguan Xiu came to the county guard's mansion. This time, he didn't come to eat and drink, nor did he come to socialize, but came to the county guard mansion to judge the case.
Guan Zheng was worried for a night, and now his eyes are blue. He invited Shangguan Xiu into the lobby of the county guard mansion and asked him to sit on the main seat in the middle. Guan Zheng said with a smile on his face: "Last night's incident frightened His Highness, it is really the fault of the ministers, please forgive Your Highness!"
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "I won't mention last night's incident, I came here this time to investigate the case." ”
"Investigating the case?"
"After the disaster in Ningjun, the lawless people who sell illicit salt are rampant, this time I went to Fengyang, and I just caught a group of salt dealers, this case, Lord Guan said, should you try it, or should I try it?" Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile.
Guan Zheng frowned secretly, muttering in his heart, isn't Shangguan Xiu full of food and support? He actually went to Ningjun to investigate the case, and he also investigated an inconsequential case of illegal salt, I really don't know what he thinks in his heart!
He rubbed his hands together and said, "Of course, this case will be tried by His Royal Highness......"
Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that I am the parent official of Ning County?" "Ning County's case will also be tried by me, what is the use of you Ning County's county guard?"
Guan Zheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately changed his words and said: "This case should be tried by Weichen!"
Shangguan Xiu nodded, waved to Xiao Jue on the side and said, "Take someone to commit a crime." ”
Xiao Jue walked to the door of the lobby and shouted, "Take someone to the hall!"
Instead of being escorted by the county army or government officers, the gendarmes escorted several prisoners directly into the lobby.
These prisoners were all from Tai'an Grain Company, and one of them was the shopkeeper. Entering the lobby, several people first looked at Shangguan Xiu sitting in the center, and then looked at Guan Zheng sitting on the side, and several people knelt on the ground in unison, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain is guilty!"
Without waiting for trial, they pleaded guilty first.
Guan Zheng looked at it and couldn't help but be stunned. He may not know anyone else, but he can know the shopkeeper of Tai'an Grain Store. Guan Zheng frowned, and said suspiciously: "Gao shopkeeper?"
The treasurer's name is Gao Ming. He knelt on the ground, snorted and said with tears: "The villain confesses, the villain confesses......"
Guan Zheng glanced at Shangguan Xiu, and saw that the latter was sitting on a chair with a smile, drinking tea quietly, his eyes fell back to Gao Ming, and asked, "Shopkeeper Gao, what crime did you commit?"
"Villain...... The villain sells illicit salt, and the villain is guilty......"
Guan Zheng blinked his eyes, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, what Shangguan Xiu wanted to cure was not Gao Ming's crime of selling illicit salt, he was condemning the crime of selling illicit salt to Song Sheng's head! Thinking of this, his body shook and he looked at Shangguan Xiu again.
Originally, he thought it was just a small case, but now that Song Sheng is involved, it is no longer a small case, at least not something he can handle. He was embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, this ......"
"Trial, don't Guan adults know how to try cases, do you need me to teach you how to try them?"
"No, no, no!" Guan Zheng was frightened, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Gao Ming, you ...... Where do you sell illicit salt?"
"The villain sells illicit salt in Tai'an Grain Store. As he spoke, Gao Ming cautiously raised his head, looked at Shangguan Xiu, and saw him blowing tea foam while looking at himself, his eyes were like torches, like knives, stabbing at his body.
He shuddered and said loudly, "In ...... Selling illicit salt in Tai'an grain store, this ...... It's not the villain's idea, it's ...... It was Song Gongzi's idea!"
Hearing that he didn't mention Song Sheng, Guan Zheng first breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard him mention Song Gongzi, and his heart that had just fallen suddenly rose again. He asked, "Song Gongzi......?" Which Song Gongzi?"
"It's Song Xuan and Song Gongzi!"
It was only then that Guan Zheng suddenly realized that it was impossible to impeach Song Sheng with the matter of selling illicit salt, and even if it made trouble to His Majesty, His Majesty would at best reprimand Song Sheng, which was insignificant.
Shangguan Xiu wanted to take advantage of this incident to target Song Xuan. Last night, Song Xuan wanted to plot against Shangguan Xiu's woman, but Shangguan Xiu didn't say anything at that time, but the next day, he seized the case of Tai'an Grain Store selling illicit salt to attack Song Xuan.
Guan Zheng grinned secretly, on the surface he was quite calm, he asked slowly: "Gao Ming, you said that Tai'an Grain Store sold illicit salt in Fengyang, it was Song Xuan's instructions, and you were instructed by Song Xuan?"
"Exactly!"
"Do you know that false accusation is a felony! Gao Ming, this official reminds you, frame Zhongliang......" Before he finished speaking, a crisp sound was heard in the ear chakra, and the teacup in Shangguan Xiu's hand fell to the ground, and it fell next to Guan Zheng's feet, and the hot tea in the teacup splashed on his feet, making Guan Zheng almost jump from the chair.
He subconsciously looked at Shangguan Xiu, who was also staring at him gloomily, and he said word by word: "Master Guan, I asked you to try the case here, not to threaten people, you can't treat me as deaf and blind?"
Guan Zheng's facial features were almost crumbled, and he didn't say anything, just warned Gao Ming not to frame him, which was in line with the normal procedure of the trial.
He can now understand that Shangguan Xiu didn't let him try the case at all, but asked him to directly convict Song Xuan.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, owed to Shangguan Xiu, endured the burning pain on his feet, his eyes fell back to Gao Ming again, and asked, "That...... Do you have a certificate?"
Shangguan Xiu's sudden attack is not only a warning to Guan Zheng, but also to find Gao Ming's backbone, so that Gao Ming can see clearly, now the real master here is not the county guard Guan Zheng, not the county lieutenant Lan You, but him, Shangguan Xiu.
Gao Ming is not a fool, of course he can see Shangguan Xiu's strength and Guan Zheng's groveling to him. He sniffed, his face was straight, and he said loudly to Guan Zheng: "My lord, the villain's testimony against Song Gongzi is well-founded, the person who transported smuggled salt to Fengyang is Song Gongzi, and it is also Song Gongzi who let Tai'an Grain Store sell smuggled salt in Fengyang, and the little guys in these grain stores can testify!"
