Chapter 259: Three Sessions
That night, the emperor was in Cining Palace and asked Mrs. Shen three times.
"Did the Shen family deliberately hide the remnants of the previous dynasty?"
"Did the Shen family plan to rob the prison and rescue the criminal Shen Xingwan?"
"Did the Shen family know about it and didn't report it, and colluded with the forces of the previous dynasty to rebel against Daqi?"
Old Madam Shen knelt on the ground and was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied loudly, "Shen Xingwan is not a remnant of the previous dynasty, she is the bloodline of the Shen family." If the Shen family had other ideas, they would not have waited until today to have a better time. ”
That's a tough answer.
The emperor looked at the silver-haired old lady condescendingly, and said coldly, "If you have anything to say, the old lady will go up to the court to defend it." ”
The next day, the old lady was sent back to the Shen Mansion.
At the same time, the Shen Mansion was also surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, and the gate was sealed, and no one was allowed to approach or enter.
This is a prelude to the raid.
The eyes of everyone in Sheng Jing were instantly focused on the Shen family.
In a heated discussion, the past of this ancient clan that has gone through several dynasties has also been revealed.
Xie Zhuohua's mouth was foaming in a hurry, but this was not something she could meddle in, and even at this juncture, even the Xie family didn't dare to help the Shen family openly.
"Auntie, will there be anything going on in the Shen family?"
This battle is too scary, and the left minister, who enjoyed this treatment last time, was finally robbed of his home and punished by the nine clans.
The queen's face was not good-looking, but she still maintained her calm and composure, "The old lady will have a way, she has not experienced anything, and she will not be unprepared." ”
And in the past few days of being besieged, the Shen family has indeed been too quiet, and it seems that they have accepted their fate, without any small movements.
On the day of the three sessions, the door of the Shen family finally opened.
Fourth Uncle Shen helped the old lady to walk in front, and Shen Qingran followed behind him with a wooden box in his hand.
The Yushitai was already full of people.
The so-called three-hall trial refers to the Yushitai, the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple.
Today, the squire of the Criminal Department is the main judge, and the other two are jurors.
Because of the great involvement, the emperor and queen were present in person.
Even the six princes and the four princes, Fusang King Li Xi have arrived, and there are many officials and clans.
It can be said that it is the most powerful trial in the past few years.
The three of them walked in in full view of everyone and knelt down in the hall.
Doctor Goshitai began to read the paper.
sprinkled a few large articles, which is nothing more than saying that the Shen family deliberately colluded with the forces of the previous dynasty, raised the princess of the former dynasty, and conspired with others to rob the prison and burn down the Dali Temple.
All of them are capital crimes that can be raided and exterminated.
After reading the paper, the waiter of the Criminal Department slapped the table with a startled wood, "Can the Shen family admit their guilt?" ”
The old lady straightened her waist, "The Shen family doesn't admit it, and there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add." Without ironclad evidence, the Shen family did not admit it. ”
The waiter of the Criminal Department took out Nangong Xian's set of statements again, and Old Madam Shen said, "As long as you give the Shen family a little time, the Shen family naturally has a way to prove that Shen Xingwan is the daughter of the Shen family." ”
It's a pity that the emperor obviously doesn't want to give it, and he can't wait to kill the Shen family now.
The waiter of the Criminal Department sighed in his heart, but his face was shocked and said, "The Shen family can't come up with strong evidence, and they can't prove the innocence of the Shen family." ”
This is the death penalty of the Shen family, and the so-called three-hall trial is like a joke, so I can't wait to convict the Shen family.
The three adults have already begun to discuss what kind of crime should be sentenced to the Shen family.
Everyone present knew what was going on, but no one stood up to speak for the Shen family.
When the emperor wants a person or a family to die, he does everything wrong.
Soon there was a result, and the squire of the criminal department presented the crime to the emperor, and the emperor did not even pretend to be it, and the holy decree was written on the spot.
The queen looked at Old Madam Shen anxiously, and Li Xi almost couldn't help but stand up.
Old Madam Shen calmly watched the emperor put down the last stroke, and said loudly, "The courtiers still have one last sentence to say." ”
The squire of the criminal department coughed, "You say." ”
The old lady said, "The Shen family once maneuvered between the two countries in a turbulent time, trying to protect this land and water and people, the girls and sons of the Shen family have lost their lives for this land and water many times, and the Shen family is worthy of anyone!" ”
The entire Yushitai is silent, perhaps with the passage of time and the silence of the Shen family, the people have long forgotten this "clan" that was once called the first family. ”
But the people present all grew up in noble families and read history books since childhood.
In the three dynasties that have been pushed forward from the Great Apocalypse, there are shadows of the Shen family in many major events.
The Shen family has produced the founding queen, a famous general, and a famous man who has turned the tide.
For the emperor to be eager to kill such a family, everyone has their own conjectures.
"This can't clear the sins committed by the Shen family. ”
Old Madam Shen lowered her head and smiled sarcastically, perhaps the biggest sin of the Shen family was that she shouldn't have made a move at all.
Old Madam Shen said with pride on her face, "At the beginning of the Great Qi Dynasty, Fosang was in turmoil. At that time, Miss Shen Jialiu used to be handsome as a woman, and she won four times over Fosang. ”
"The prime minister at that time boarded the door of my Shen family three times, and asked Shen Yunxing, the sixth lady at that time, to make a move!"
This is indeed the proud past of the Shen family, in those turbulent days, the Shen family's twin stars moved the world with one article and one martial arts.
Shen San, Miss Shen Yun'an, uses the body of a woman as a strategist and seeks the world with no hands.
Shen Liu, Miss Shen Yunxing, played a good gun, defeated Fosang four times, and became a legend.
With such a clan, it is not surprising that the emperor will be taboo.
Old Madam Shen had a smile on her face, "Miss Shen Liu's later agreed to go to Fosang because the first emperor gave the Shen family a promise. ”
Therefore, Shen Yunxing, who has been seriously injured in several wars, will gamble his life to go to Fosang.
It was for this promise, in order to get a talisman order for the Shen family.
The emperor had a bad premonition in his heart.
But with so many people watching, he couldn't stop the old lady from talking.
The old lady said to Shen Qingran, "Open the box." ”
Shen Qingran took out the special key and opened the wooden box with a snap.
Princess Qinghe's position was closest to Shen Qingran, and she saw what was inside and stood up suddenly, "Holy Decree?!" ”
That's right, there was a bright yellow decree and a token in the wooden box.
The officials couldn't help but crane their necks to look over, and with a sharp eye, they saw the three words on the token: "No death order!" ”
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, is this the essence of the first clan after several dynasties?
I actually have this kind of thing in my hand.
The old lady's voice sounded slowly, "The Founding Emperor has given him a token and a holy decree to avoid death, promising that no matter what big mistakes the Shen family makes in the future, they will have a chance to be forgiven. ”
"Qingran showed the holy decree to the scholars."
Scholar Tao took the holy decree and looked at it, and said cautiously, "This is indeed the handwriting of the Holy Ancestor. ”
For a while, no one spoke in the entire Yushitai.
The emperor was so angry that he couldn't help but say, "Good! The Shen family is really good! ”
