Chapter 226: Final Judgment

"Excuse me!"

When Yu Shiyue came to the noon gate, he found a very embarrassing problem and couldn't go back.

It's more lively here than the market, and the three floors inside and the three floors outside are all onlookers.

"Don't squeeze, line up at the back!"

"That is, do you know what it means to come first and come first?"

The people on the periphery were already late and didn't occupy a good position, and when they saw someone squeezing forward, they were naturally a hundred reluctant.

Yu Shiyue squeezed for a long time, but found that she couldn't squeeze in at all, so in desperation, she had to shout: "Let me in, I'm the chief judge!"

Finally, some scholars in the crowd recognized Yu Shiyue and hurriedly beckoned everyone to take a path.

Yu Shiyue calmed down at this time, slowly stepped forward, and bowed to the jury.

"Your Majesty, can you start?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "I have already said that the jury only observes the trial and does not participate in the trial."

Only then did Yu Shiyue relax and sit down with Xue and Yang.

On the opposite side of the jury was the detention of a group of prisoners led by Yan Shenggong.

The three bigwigs exchanged glances, and then, Yu Shiyue gently patted the shocked wood: "Take Yan Shenggong to the court!"

The messenger had already been prepared, and before the words fell, he brought Kong Yanjin, the Holy Prince, up.

Since he came out of the edict prison, Kong Yanjin's state has recovered very well, although he is wearing shackles and shackles, every step is a loud noise, but he is full of energy, and it is completely different from the original depressed appearance.

In the crowd of onlookers, some people couldn't help but choke.

But those ordinary people were very puzzled when they saw someone wiping their tears.

Yu Shiyue thought for a while, stood up again, and saluted to the jury: "Emperor Qi, Yan Shenggong is a great Confucian in the world, and before he is convicted, he should not be tortured, and the ministers should prepare to ......

Zhu Qizhen said impatiently: "I have said that if the trial team does not participate in the trial, you should treat me as if I do not exist, and treat it as if this is your criminal department yamen, how to try it on weekdays, how to try it today!"

Yu Shiyue returned to his seat at this time, and then said lightly: "Come on, remove the torture tools!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a fresh breeze, and suddenly, it triggered the applause of the readers outside.

In their opinion, Yu Shiyue belongs to the image of not being afraid of power and daring to speak.

In fact, many people eat this set, no matter who he is, no matter how powerful he is, or no matter how he is not a thing, but in fact, as long as he puts on a posture of serving the people, as long as he is aimed at higher people, people throughout the ages often show respect in their hearts.

The servants took off the shackles and shackles on Kong Yanjin's body, and then stepped aside.

Kong Yanjin bowed and saluted, crying bitterly, "Old man, thank you Lord Yu."

Yu Shiyue's face was gloomy, and he put on an unforgiving look, and said: "Kong Yanjin, these days, this official has tried your case, all the case files have been read, your son-in-law Zhai Zongxi sells illicit salt, the evidence is conclusive, according to the law, the Yansheng Mansion naturally can't escape the involvement, now this official is responsible for your negligence, can you admit punishment?"

Kong Yanjin sighed and said, "It's really a misfortune for the family, this matter is ...... It is indeed the old man who neglected to discipline and accepted the punishment!"

Yu Shiyue continued: "After investigation, the female of the Confucian family is a *** person, and it is also a capital crime to ignore people's lives.

Kong Yanjin nodded and said, "Admit punishment!"

Yu Shiyue secretly glanced at the emperor, and didn't seem to react, so he continued: "As for what Jin Yiwei said, colluding with Bai Lian and deliberately rebelling, is this so?"

Kong Yanjin was already crying bitterly: "No, wronged, old man...... It's so miserable......

"If you have been wronged, why did you confess your sin in the first place?"

"If you don't admit your guilt, you will be punished, old man...... I can't stand it!"

Kong Yanjin recalled the days in the edict prison, and suddenly burst into tears.

It's really ruthless!

The teeth are knocked out, and the bridge of the nose is broken, if

If the Criminal Department does not intervene again, I am afraid that my life will be folded in it.

Seeing this, many people showed sympathy.

Yu Shiyue sighed and said, "The factory minister is like a tiger!"

Huai En stood behind Zhu Qizhen and glanced at Yu Shiyue with resentment.

The person was arrested by Jinyiwei, and the case was tried by Jinyiwei, what does it have to do with our East Factory?

After Yu Shiyue sighed, he straightened his face again and said: "Since the facts are clear, then, this official will not go around the corner, there are many places in the file of the previous sentence, the facts are unclear, the evidence is insufficient, and some are even made out of nothing, this official remembers that you have abided by your duty on weekdays and been loyal to the court, and now you have been wronged by this, and you have suffered so much for no reason, I think you are pitiful, and you are not guilty!"

Kong Yanjin only felt that his brain was buzzing, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

During those days in prison, he thought he was finished.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the peaks and loops have turned, and it seems that in this world, after all, it is still the reader who has the final say.

Even if he is a dignified criminal department secretary, he has to do everything possible to speak for himself and help himself excuse himself.

Because, only in this way can he win over more readers and stabilize his position.

Thanks to the ancestors, the Confucian family will be immortal for ten thousand years!

However, a thought suddenly crossed his mind, but it quickly disappeared.

Some things, as long as no one knows, can be treated as if they never happened.

Yu Shiyue said again: "Although you are not guilty, but the punishment is indispensable, and this official will enforce the law impartially, and it will not be light!"

Kong Yanjin bowed and said, "The old man's lax discipline has caused so many chickens and dogs to be thieves in the Confucian Mansion, and he should be punished!"

"Okay, listen!"

Yu Shiyue peeked at the emperor again, and saw that there was still no movement, so he strengthened his courage and said, "First, all the proceeds from Zhai Zongxi's sale of illicit salt were handed over to the state treasury, and the official roughly calculated that it was about 200,000 taels of silver, and it must be handed over in full, did you hear clearly?"

Kong Yanjin secretly rejoiced in his heart, the silver he had earned through the private salt business over the years was at least more than one million taels, just two hundred thousand, which was really not worth mentioning!

"After the old man returned to Qufu, he immediately ordered someone to count the stolen silver and hand it over to the national treasury!"

Yu Shiyue nodded and said, "Second, all the subordinates involved in the Confucius Mansion will be transferred to the Qufu County Ya, and investigated and dealt with according to the law, and the losses of the victims' families and the bereavement of the deceased will all be borne by the Confucian Government.

When Kong Yanjin heard this, she burst into tears with excitement, and the humiliation she had suffered in the past few days and the pent-up grievances were now vented all at once.

"Thank you, Lord Yu, the old man is willing to be punished, and there is no objection!"

Seeing him wipe away his tears, the onlookers felt even more sympathetic, although Kong Yanjin covered the sky with one hand in Qufu, but the image here is a poor scholar who has been persecuted, powerless, miserable and miserable.

Yu Shiyue felt that his goal had been achieved, and if he helped Yan Shenggong, he could get the support of scholars all over the world.

As long as everyone unites, even if the New Deal is issued, it will only be a piece of waste paper and will have no effect.

However, what puzzled him was that he blatantly overturned the case for Yan Shenggong, why didn't the emperor ignore it?

Judging from the posture of the early dynasty, the emperor was determined to cure the sins of the Holy Father, but why did he suddenly ignore it?

In the process of interrogation, he was even fully prepared, as long as the emperor intervened in the case, there would be a lot of reasons waiting, but the emperor was always silent, which made people confused.

It's weird......

Yu Shiyue was full of doubts, glanced at each side, but found that Xue and Yang were similar to herself, and there was a little confusion in their eyes.

However, the three of them quickly reached a consensus, since the emperor did not impose intervention and did not close the case, when will they wait?

Yu Shiyue picked up the startling wood and threw it lightly, and said, "Okay, this official announced......

"Let's

Let's go, let's go, Jinyiwei handles the case, please let go!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the periphery of the crowd.

When Yu Shiyue heard the three words of Jinyiwei, he subconsciously raised his head, and just saw that in the crowd, the captain of Jinyiwei wearing soap suits escorted a group of criminals to the scene.

"This is the torture hall of the Three Law Divisions, what does Jinyiwei mean?"

When he saw Jin Yiwei appear again, Yu Shiyue already had a premonition that the situation was not good, so he was ready to strike first, this is my territory, when I didn't call you, I was not allowed to come!

On Jinyiwei's side, Zhu Ji led the team.

"These are the suspects brought from Qufu, I heard that Lord Yu is trying the case here, so let's try it together!"

"Humph!"

Yu Shiyue snorted coldly: "How do the three law divisions try the case, do they also need Jinyiwei to give advice?"

"Ah......h

Suddenly, I heard Kong Yanjin screaming.

I saw him pointing to a man in the crowd covered in blood and messy hair, trembling and speechless.

The man was tortured on the way here, and almost lost half of his life, and when he saw Kong Yanjin, he immediately got up excitedly.

"Father, it's me, Father!"

This person is Kong Yanjin's eldest son, Kong Chengqing.

Kong Yanjin looked at another prisoner again, although the flesh and blood of the whole body were blurred, it could still be vaguely seen that he was also a disciple of Confucius, and the current Qufu Governor Kong Chengping.

In addition to these two brothers, there are also subordinates of the Confucian Mansion such as Zhao Quan, or the messengers and scribes of the county government, there are about 100 people in total, as if the Yansheng Mansion has been moved.

Wait a minute...... Moved over?

An ominous thought appeared in Kong Yanjin's heart, could it be......

He looked at Kong Chengqing eagerly and asked, "How is the Confucian Mansion?"

Kong Chengqing cried and said, "Jinyiwei has copied the Confucian Mansion!"

After hearing the news, Kong Yanjin suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he almost lost his breath on the spot.

Yu Shiyue looked at the two bigwigs beside him, and the three of them were very surprised.

Jin Yiwei actually raided the Yansheng Mansion?

We're still trying it, and you copied someone?

If you copy it correctly, you can pay it back, but if you copy it wrong, who will pay for the lost silver?

"The old man fought with you!"

Kong Yanjin opened his eyes and rushed towards Zhu Ji.

However, before he could get to him, he was held down by two lieutenants.

Yu Shiyue hurriedly said, "Zhu Yanshi, why did you raid the Yansheng Mansion, and whose instructions did you take?"

Zhu Ji said unhurriedly: "There are many reasons for raiding the Yan Sheng Gong Mansion, and the biggest reason is the rebellion of the Confucian family!"

Yu Shiyue narrowed her eyes and asked, "What did you say?" The emperor can watch from the side, the military situation is not child's play, you say rebellion, is there any evidence?"

Zhu Ji waved his hand, and saw another team of people and horses, escorting more than 20 people to come.

Kong Yanjin suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly went to take a look, but after this look, he found that the leader was still the son-in-law of the Kong family, Cai Jinkui, the commander of Jinan Wei!

The commanders of Jinan Wei were all arrested, and it is conceivable what happened in Qufu......

Zhu Ji pointed at Cai Jinkui and said: "This person is the son-in-law of Yan Shenggong, Cai Jinkui, the commander of Jinan Wei, about half a month ago, this person transferred troops from Jinan to Jining without authorization, raided the Jinyi Wei stronghold, and did not care about the holy decree signed by the emperor himself, this is a rebellion and a bully to the king!"

Yu Shiyue didn't know what was going on in Qufu, and it was foreseeable that it was definitely not a good thing.

Cai Jinkui has been tortured, no matter what others say, he curls up on the ground, like a dead dog.

Yu Shiyue frowned and said, "Could it be that he is beaten into a trick again?"

He has now recognized that the testimony evidence provided by your Jinyiwei is all torture.

That's what you're doing anyway, and it's easy for people to believe it.

Zhu Ji stepped forward, took out a pile of files, and said

"Here is the account of the Confucian Mansion, 1.6 million taels of gold, 20 million taels of silver, and countless mansions, acres, jewelry, and antiques.

Kong Yanjin's heart suddenly cooled, and Yu Shiyue was shocked, did he really copy Confucius's mansion?

Moreover, so many more ......

Looks like things are a bit tricky.

He thought about it, so he had to come to the viewing panel, bow down and say, "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei actually copied the Yansheng Mansion in private, it is simply bold......

Zhu Qizhen raised his hand to stop him and said, "I will say it again in the end, I only watch the trial, I don't participate, I don't speak."

Yu Shiyue had no choice but to return to the front of the hall and asked, "Zhu Yishi, why did Jinyiwei raid the Confucian Mansion, what clues are there, or what evidence are there?"

Zhu Ji said: "Isn't it enough for the Confucian government to collude with Jinan Wei Cai Jinkui and plot a rebellion?"

Yu Shiyue asked again, "Jinan Wei rebelled, is there any evidence?"

"Jinan Wei left the garrison without permission and went to Jining to encircle and suppress our Jinyiwei, this is not a rebellion, what is a rebellion?"

Yu Shiyue thought about it and said, "Is there an order from the military department?"

At this time, a lieutenant general of the military department said: "The military department has received a note from Jinan Wei, saying that he went into the mountains to clear out the Liukou."

Yu Shiyue said, "Since there is a recital in front of you, it can't be regarded as an unauthorized transfer."

Zhu Ji seemed to have known that he would say this, so he took out a stack of files again and handed them over.

"What is this?"

"It was left by the local people of Qufu, Wan Min***, thoroughly investigate the Yan Shenggong Mansion!"
