Chapter Forty-Six: Confrontation in the Dharma
"Good guts!" Ren Xing saw that Ji Lan dared to ignore the prince and directly ordered the beheading, and he was immediately furious!
But no matter how angry he is, it is useless, the executioner has already swung his knife, and by the time he arrives at the court, Lu Liu's head has already fallen to the ground.
This errand was completely messed up, and when he thought that he had not been able to complete what the king had explained, Ren Xinghuo had Ji Lan's thoughts.
However, since Ji Lan dares to do this, it is obvious that he can't get out of this case, as long as Lu Liu dies, there is no proof of death, and even if the prince is a prince, he will not be able to help Ji Lan under the premise of no evidence.
Because according to the king, behind Ji Lan is an extremely powerful civilian interest group!
"Whoosh!"
A meteor is like a galaxy, shooting towards the Dharma platform in an instant!
There was a crisp sound of the bell, and the ghost-headed broadsword that had been chopped down snapped from it!
Yan Hong, the commander of the Yongwang Mansion's personal soldiers, smashed a steel egg between the lightning and flint, and even calculated the speed of the ghost head big knife slashing, hitting the target impartially!
"Good job, Commander Yan, our family owes Commander Yan a favor!" When these words landed, Ren Xing and the three of them had already rushed into the court from the gap let out by the people.
Ji Lan's face suddenly became as ugly as his dead mother.
"Ji Lan, you are so bold." Jumping off the horse, Ren Xing, who was angry, scolded on the spot.
Ji Lan's eyes froze, and he arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law Ren, this official is supervising and beheading serious offenders, and you are arsonizing and breaking in, and the official has not questioned you, it is good for Father-in-law Ren, but he reprimanded this official in front of everyone, and this official is bound to play and impeach King Yong for conniving at Zhongguan to ignore the law!"
"Huh? Ha ha? Ren Xing laughed angrily and said: "If you want to impeach, you can impeach, and the prince will stop you?" Now King Yong feels that there are many strange things in this case, and it is expected that there must be grievances in it, and he needs to take the prisoner! ”
"No way!" Ji Lan flatly refused: "This case has been tried, the evidence is conclusive, this official is a general judge in Huzhou, and he has been sentenced to be beheaded in accordance with the law, today is the period of execution, Yongwang is respected, but he can't interfere with the law of the Ming Dynasty, although Huzhou is the fief of King Yong, but King Yong has no right to interfere in the military and political affairs of Huzhou, if King Yong feels that it is wrong in any case, then what is the use of this general judgment of this official, and where can the majesty of the law of Daming exist!"
Ren Xing didn't expect Ji Lan to be so tough with a small general sentence, he is not Liu Jin, who is now in power, just a look can make the Manchu Dynasty tremble, after all, he is just a lieutenant official of the vassal palace, if the civil official does not give face, unless King Yong is present in person, there is really no way to take Ji Lan.
Ren Xing knew very well that as soon as he left, Ji Lan would be eager to behead the Lu and Liu clans, so he had to stalemate, so he sneered with sympathy: "If this case is really no problem, and the evidence is ironclad, why doesn't Ji Tong dare to give the palace a chance to retry it, could it be that Ji Tong has a ghost in his heart?"
"Nonsense!" Ji Lan said angrily: "This official just doesn't want to see King Yong make a mistake and bear the notoriety of interfering in military affairs and meddling in the judiciary in vain!"
"What a high-sounding excuse." Ren Xing snorted coldly, then walked straight in front of Lu Liu's body, took out the cloth in his mouth and asked, "Lu Liu's, our family asks you, you have an affair with this person and killed your husband!"
Lu Liu took a heavy breath, and immediately cried: "Father-in-law, the concubine is wronged!" The concubine is not afraid of death, the terrible thing is that the old man died in vain, and he still died without turning a blind eye, he is all that slut, and the father-in-law has to be the master of the concubine. ”
"Master Ji, can you hear the convict's wife shouting injustice, according to the law of Daming, the court shouting injustice should be remanded for retrial......"
Ji Lan said disdainfully: "Father-in-law Ren!" The law official is more proficient than you, and the criminal shouting that he should be retried means that there are doubts in the case, but the facts of this case are clear and undoubted, so why is there any suspicion, and there is no doubt why the case is retried! Ants are still stealing their lives, not to mention people, if everyone in the crime shouts injustice as soon as they go to the execution ground, and they will be retried as soon as they shout injustice, then where will the execution come from! ”
Ren Xingyi suffocated and said: "Our family doesn't care about this, King Yong ordered our family to come to the court, that is, to retry this case, if Ji Tong is determined to go his own way, he can behead our family first!"
"Father-in-law Ren, don't blame the official for not reminding you, robbing people in the law field, if there is no holy will, or the approval of the criminal department, anyone who robs the law field is regarded as the same crime, if Ren Gonggong really wants to interfere with the official's right to enforce the law, do you really think that this official will not dare to let you test the knife?"
Ji Lan is out of the way, Lu Liu's case can't be changed, otherwise he won't be able to lose his official position at all, and the final result will be all over the place!
So whoever dares to stop him from killing Lu Liu will be his mortal enemy!
A mere Ren Xing dared to rob people in the Dharma field, what could he do if he killed him, could it be that King Yong would turn his face for a mere eunuch and a Confucian minister in the world?
"Father-in-law Ren should not make mistakes!" Ji Lan roared, and he looked like he was already in a state of flux.
Ren Xing felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, knowing that Ji Lan had already moved to kill at this time.
"Commander Yan!"
Yan Hong didn't say a word, and walked directly in front of Lu Liu's body and protected him behind him.
"Commander Yan, Ji Lan is determined to kill Lu Liu, and our family is worried that he will take risks."
Yan Hong sneered: "Father-in-law, just rest assured, if you want Lu Liu's life, you need to step on Yan's corpse first!"
"Someone!" Ji Lan shouted.
Huzhou patrol battalion general Liang Xinghuai's scalp was numb, what is the patrol battalion doing?
To put it bluntly, it is to maintain local law and order, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion will beat the green skin, and it is okay to catch the scoundrels, let them go to Yan Hong, who is extremely fierce at a glance, even if they can take it, it is estimated that the patrol battalion will die.
The key is that the pot of offending King Yong is too big for the patrol battalion to bear.
King Yong can't afford to offend, can Ji Lan be offended, this is the top official, offended Ji Lan, Liang Xinghuai felt that he might as well wipe his neck to be happy.
"The last general ......" Liang Xinghuai stepped forward and clenched his fists, his face full of bitterness.
"Take down Ren Xing and Yan Hong!"
"The last will obey." Liang Xinghuai was helpless, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of patrolmen suddenly stepped forward with guns.
Yan Hong pulled out his sword and laughed: "Ben Jiang is here, who dares to take a step forward, Ben General's knife doesn't recognize people!"
"Why don't you dare!" Ji Lan snorted coldly and stepped forward and shouted, "Take it!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a carriage slowly driving on the street, the carriage was unremarkable, but there were hundreds of guards around the carriage!
Who else can put up this battle in Huzhou Mansion besides King Yong?
Ji Lan's face suddenly turned pale, he estimated that King Yong would come, but he really didn't expect King Yong to come so quickly.
For a while, the entire Dharma field could be heard!
