Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 81 The Imperial Judgment (II)
The officials understood the ins and outs of the matter, and they all discussed it in low voices.
"It turned out that someone was really dead in the family, no wonder he had a straight face."
"I heard that this money is young and domineering on weekdays, and he is rampant, and now he has ended up like this, which is also unpleasant."
"This Ying Jianxian, I don't seem to have heard much of it, and it is said that Lord Ying is very strict in his family teaching, how could he go to the Qinglou and kill someone?"
When the officials were discussing, Nangong Qing spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about it, how should this case be decided?" ”
Discussion is discussion, but how shrewd this group of officials is, how can they easily get involved in this right and wrong, for a while, the court was silent, and no one dared to say a word.
"Wang Jingnian, you come out and talk about it." Nangong Qing could only name names.
Wang Jingnian is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the first person to be called is naturally him.
"Back to Your Majesty, this case involves an official of our Criminal Department, and the minister should avoid suspicion." Wang Jingnian replied.
"Let you tell me your views on this case, and not let you make a judgment, what suspicion should you avoid?" Nangong Qing was a little impatient.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Helpless, Wang Jingnian could only obey the order and speak: "The minister feels that this case seems simple, but it is actually a bit complicated. Before the incident, the two had already verbally provoked, which was the inducement, and Qian Shaocheng finally shot Ying Jianxian's cricket to death, which directly led to the two of them starting to fight, which is right and wrong, and how to judge, must be carefully considered. ”
Nangong Qing rolled her eyes dissatisfiedly and said, "You said this is equivalent to not saying it." ”
"Foolish, please forgive your majesty!" Wang Jingnian knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Are you stupid? I see that you are very smart, you are one by one, don't think I don't know what you think. Nangong Qing snorted coldly.
For a while, the ministers bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.
After a while, Shang Shuli of the Ministry of Rites re-emerged and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not understand the law, but he also knows the principle of killing people to pay for their lives, so the minister thinks that he should be sentenced to be beheaded by Jianxian to show the law." ”
The two people who happened were both people from Nangong Ding, King Zhao, and Li Zhong was a person from Nangong Mountain, so as long as they spoke at this time, it would be unfavorable to Nangong Ding. There is only one purpose for his remarks, to aggravate the result of the trial and muddy the relationship between Nangong Ding's party, so that Nangong Mountain can benefit.
And the people in Nangong's camp didn't dare to speak out at this time, they just wanted to minimize the impact of this matter, so it was best to be able to make a big thing small.
Nangong Shan didn't mention how cool he was, this was the first time he was in the court, and the people who let Nangong Ding Party dare not have any arguments.
"Your Majesty, the dog is just a manslaughter, and the crime is more than that!" Ying Zhengqi kept kowtowing.
Frowning slightly, Nangong Qing also felt that Ying Jianxian did not deserve to die, he turned his head and asked Nangong Ding: "King Zhao, what do you think?" ”
"Brother Huang, my brother doesn't know much about the law, so he doesn't dare to discuss it." Nangong looked forward to ending the case as soon as possible, and didn't want to say more.
"King Qi?" Nangong Qing asked Nangong Mountain again.
"Father, the son also feels that this case is a bit complicated, since the people in the criminal department are unwilling to interfere, then let the Shaoqing of Dali Temple come to trial." Nangong Shan replied.
"But Ying Zhengqi is about to go to Dali Temple to serve as the secretary of Dali Temple, you let the people of Dali Temple come to trial, will Qian Liangye be convinced?" Nangong Qing asked.
"My father also said that Lord Ying is just about to take office, and he has not yet arrived, and Chen Gongzhi, the young secretary of Dali Temple, is selfless, and the trial has always been reasonable, quite the legacy of Lord Liu Renfang, and he will try it, presumably everyone will be convinced."
"Ying Zhengqi, Qian Liangye, Chen Gongzhi will judge, do you have any opinions?"
Although he is a person from Dali Temple, Qian Liangye has always heard of this Chen Gong, he is meticulous in judging cases, and he is famous for not helping relatives. Once, his nephew committed murder in his name and was killed by him in court, for which his brother's family broke off Chen Gongzhi's grace.
Mother blamed, Chen Gongzhi only replied: "The law is in front, how to show favoritism?" "People are vying to pass it on!
"If Lord Chen comes to judge, Weichen has no opinion." Qian Liangye returned.
"The minister also believes in Lord Chen's justice!" Ying Zhengqi followed.
"Okay, that's the case, Chen Gongzhi, you will judge." Nangong Qing ordered.
Chen Gongzhi came out of the list and reported: "Your Majesty, the minister still needs to go through the case file in detail. ”
Taking the case file from Feng Songfei's hand, he read it carefully.
This meticulous attitude was also approved by the ministers.
After a while, Chen Gongzhi said: "Your Majesty, the difficulty of this case is that Qian Shaocheng first shot Ying Jianxian's cricket, and Ying Jianxian then picked up the bucket jar and smashed it at Qian Shaocheng, who did it do first?" ”
"One sentence gets to the point." Nangong Qing cast a look of approval: "Go on!" ”
"Judging purely from the charge of manslaughter, Ying Jianxian can be sentenced to 15 years in prison, or sentenced to exile, and assigned to the border guard for meritorious service. But the problem is that Qian Shaocheng first killed Ying Jianxian's cricket, which constituted an inducement to commit a crime, so in fact, Ying Jianxian should not be sentenced so severely. ”
After listening to Chen Gongzhi's analysis, Qian Liangye's face turned pale and he didn't say a word, after all, he had words first, and he had no objection to his trial.
"Just say it, how to decide?" Nangong Qing was a little impatient.
"The minister suggested that Ying Jianxian be exiled to Yiyang City, go to the Nangong County Lord to be a pawn in front of the account, and wait until he has merit, and then pardon him as appropriate."
Yiyang City is the junction of Weiguo and Zhuguo, Yuguan is here, perennial war, not peaceful.
Nangong Qing groaned slightly, her daughter Nangong Banmeng was stationed in Yiyang City, it was when there was a shortage of people, so the verdict was very much in line with him, and he did not hesitate to say at the moment: "Just according to what you say!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" should be overjoyed.
Chen Gongzhi said very clearly, being a pawn in front of the tent is different from exile in the army, the latter is to charge into battle, and he may be killed at any time, and being a soldier in front of the tent, at most, is to run errands, to be a subordinate in the army, there is no danger, and once he has some credit, he can use his connections to get him back to the imperial city.
But if you are sentenced to imprisonment, then you have to honestly finish the prison, ten years is ten years, fifteen years is fifteen years, after all, it is a case sentenced by the emperor, who dares to mess around in private. Unless there is an amnesty for the world, Ying Jianxian's life is over.
Now this result is a blessing in misfortune for Ying Jianxian!
"Your Majesty." Qian Liangye cried and shouted: "Please forgive the minister's courage, the minister's verdict on Lord Chen is unconvincing!" ”
In order to take this breath for Qian Shaocheng, Qian Liangye was also open-minded, and even raised objections to Nangong Qing in the palace.
"Presumptuous!" Feng Songfei shouted.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down together and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is angry!" ”
"Qian Liangye, Chen Gongzhi said it very clearly, your son killed other people's baby crickets first, and then they did it, what else do you want?" Nangong Qing said patiently with a straight face.
