Yang Jing saw that the people were overwhelmingly supporting Chang Sheng, and he only felt that his head began to sweat.

Shouldn't the people support them, how is it different from what they imagined?

Now that so many people are applauding Chang Sheng, how will this case be tried and judged?

Just when Yang Jing didn't know what to do, Zhu Yunxi muttered quietly.

"Do you want to adjourn the court...... No, don't you quit temporarily?"

Yang Jing's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, and retreating from the court was really a way, at least he could discuss with others how to judge this case.

"Then quit?"

Zhu Yunxi got up from his chair and relinquished his role to Yang Jing, making Yang Jing the real chief judge for once.

Yang Jing re-stood in the position of the chief judge, and he was embarrassed.

Who would have thought that the only thing he said when he stood in this position was to retreat?

Although Yang Jing was unhappy in his heart, but now the crowd is surging, and the people are angry, and it has reached the point where they can't retreat.

Therefore, he can only bite the bullet and shoot the shocking wood.

"In view of the complexity of this case, the judge has decided to withdraw from the court for the time being, and the decision will be made after the judge has discussed it with several adults!"

When the people heard this, they were immediately unhappy, and according to their thoughts, they did not declare Chang Sheng innocent, and they all felt that there was a cat in it.

Now that they see that the officials are about to run away, they are even more suspicious, thinking that they are going to concoct some crime to frame the hero Chang Sheng.

In fact, Yang Jing, Yuan Tai, and Zhang Tinglan, the three chief officials of the Law Division, only sighed after returning to the back hall, and they didn't think about how to frame Chang Sheng at all.

They are now in a dilemma, not knowing how to adjudicate the case.

"Tell me a word!"

"Now that the case is like this, how should we characterize it?"

Zhang Tinglan shook her head depressedly and said.

"The military generals are too ruthless, and having two descendants of the Lu family out of nothing is equivalent to overthrowing the destruction of the door."

"Once it can't be characterized as annihilation, with Chang Sheng's identity, the eight councils will be discussed one by one, and if they die, they will be exiled, deprived of their titles, and recover the Danshu iron coupons."

"If there are two more nobles and they go out to hand in the Danshu iron coupons, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely push the boat down the river and give Chang Sheng a first-class reduction."

When Yuan Tai heard Zhang Tinglan say this, he began to make a big fuss.

"I said at the time, we can't take it lightly, we have to guard against each other's deception!"

"What did you say at the time, what did you say that the facts are conclusive, the evidence is ironclad, and the gods can't overturn the case when they come!"

"Now people just found two girls, and they forced us into a corner, how do you say this case will be tried!"

Yang Jing got angry when he heard Yuan Tai's words, when did this guy say something like preventing the other party from cheating?

Now that the generals and nobles have made a move, they don't think about how to deal with it, and they even complain to each other, what is this?

"Yuan Tai, if you don't have anything to say, shut up, what are you talking about?"

"Besides, when did you say those words, why don't you remember!"

"Didn't I say that?"

"Even if I said it then, which of you will listen?"

"Then you say, how do you know we won't listen if you don't say it?"

Yang Jing and Yuan Tai said a word, and they quarreled in the back hall on the spot.

Just as Zhang Tinglan was hesitating whether to persuade or not, he suddenly saw a figure walk in. As soon as Zhang Tinglan saw this person, he was angry, pointed at the other party's nose and scolded.

"What are you doing here, are you here to see our jokes?"

The person who came was none other than Zhou Zhiqing, who overturned Chang Sheng's case with an iron mouth.

In fact, Zhou Zhiqing didn't do anything at all, the evidence was provided by the military general, and even wrote the key points of the defense on the folding fan, so that he could consult it at any time.

On the side of the military general, it is just through his status as a civil official, as well as his photo

Mouth, let him say the content of his defense.

This is clearly using him as a firefighter, but he is still willing to eat.

Because when His Majesty the Emperor belittled him to go to Haizhou to be the magistrate, all his colleagues and friends respected him and stayed away from him, without any intention of helping.

Only the third emperor and grandson not only personally helped him treat his injuries, but also gave him military merits, so that he stood out in the evaluation of many magistrates, and personally proposed to His Majesty the Emperor to promote him to Songjiang Mansion as the prefect.

Although His Majesty the Emperor did not agree to the three emperors' grandsons, he Zhou Zhiqing had to accept this love!

Besides, the third emperor's grandson is about to be canonized as the emperor's grandson, and people take the initiative to recruit him as a broken county, if he doesn't cooperate, it will be too ignorant.

"Don't be angry, Lord Zhang, the lower officials didn't come to the back hall to make fun of the three of them."

"In fact, Xia Guan is here to remind the three adults and help them break the siege."

"Oh?"

When several people heard this, their hearts moved in unison, and the two quarrelers hurriedly shut up.

Zhou Zhiqing first bowed to Yang Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"Old boss, the Third Emperor Sun is Chang Sheng's nephew, and it can be said that he is the only family member of the Third Emperor Sun, do you really want to take the risk of annoying the Three Emperor Sun and seek justice for the Lu family?"

Yang Jing snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Or else?"

"Are they all like you, who have become inflammatory-oriented people who ignore the laws of the land?"

"The evidence of Chang Sheng's murder is conclusive, even if it is not for the Lu family, I, Yang someone, will uphold justice and uphold justice for the people of the world!"

When Zhou Zhiqing heard Yang Jing's words, a faint mockery appeared on his face.

It's not that he doesn't believe Yang Jing's words, but he doesn't believe them all.

The reason why the old boss insisted on sentencing Chang Sheng to capital punishment must have the idea of upholding justice, but he was more afraid that this kind of thing would fall on his head.

After all, as an official in the DPRK, who has not said a few wrong words, and who has not offended a few people.

If someone kills someone because he offended someone, how can he be an official in the future?

Therefore, this is the reason why the civil officials insisted on executing Chang Sheng.

As for the matter of the Lu family......

In fact, no one cares about it, it's a bit sad that the rabbit dies and the fox dies, and the thing hurts its emotions.

"The old boss is righteous, and the lower officials admire him!"

"But the subordinate is a little secretive and wants to tell the old boss."

"Xiaguan learned a news from the third emperor's grandson, it is said that the crown princess died of a sudden illness......

"Huh?"

The three people in the back hall all changed their faces when they heard this, and their faces were full of disbelief.

"Is that true?"

"It's true!"

"And according to the lower officials, the third emperor and grandson only mentioned it vaguely, and there are still many truths that have not been said."

"What's the truth?"

"Lui's death may involve royal Mi ......"

"Old boss, do you remember the boiling Hu Shang tribute case back then?"

Yang Jing's face showed a solemn look when he heard this, and his thoughts returned to ten years ago.

At that time, there was a big case in the imperial court, saying that the tribute offered by Hu Shang was poisonous, and the crown princess and other concubines of the prince's mansion were mutilated, causing several concubines to miscarry......

Jinyiwei arrested hundreds of Hu merchants for this purpose, and all of them were brought to Jinyiwei.

As for the future, none of Hu Shang were released, and there was a high probability that he would die in Jinyiwei Prison.

And this Hu Shang tribute case is also gone, and even the most original document records have been burned.

"Old boss, the lower officials speculate that the death of the crown princess may be related to this matter."

"Think about it, if it weren't for the big case, who would have the ability to let the crown princess die violently?"

Several people fell silent when they heard this, and everyone was secretly thinking in their hearts.

If things are really as Zhou Zhiqing said, then the Lu family has committed the taboo of the old emperor, even if they don't kill people in anger, there is a high probability that they will not be able to escape the crime of beheading

Blame.

Therefore, from this point of view, Chang Sheng's murder is forgiven on the old emperor's side, but the old emperor wants to be embarrassed, embarrassed to use the imperial power to amnesty, and deliberately let them try the case and help the old emperor carry the black pot?

"Lord Yuan, Lord Zhang!"

"Old boss!"

"The emperor had no intention of severely punishing Chang Sheng, if you condemned the crime too severely, wouldn't that make the emperor embarrassed?"

"What kind of temper does His Majesty the Emperor have, the three adults know it, right?"

"If His Majesty the Emperor thinks that you are ignorant, then you can only go to Haizhou and other poor countryside like the lower officials in the future."

"This ......"

As soon as Yang Jing heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed Zhou Zhiqing's hand and asked.

"Xiao Zhou!"

"This official has always been kind to you, how do you think this matter is the most appropriate?"

Zhou Zhiqing felt the greasy on his hands, and his heart was greasy, but his face was not easy to show, so he could only deal with it in a vain manner.

"That's easy!"

"Now that the lower officials have overturned the crime of destroying the door, the lord will determine an ordinary murder case along the way, and sentence Chang Sheng to behead according to the law."

"You can be resolute and sharp in your words on the recital, so as to make your position clear, and you can be regarded as having an explanation to the officials below."

"As for how, how, and when to chop, then leave it to His Majesty the Emperor to decide."

"However, in the humble opinion of the lower officials, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not be acquitted, and will definitely send Chang Sheng to a remote and wild place, and when the three emperors and grandsons succeed to the throne and amnesty the world in the future, Chang Sheng will naturally be grateful to the three emperors and grandsons, and wholeheartedly assist the three emperors and grandchildren......

Yang Jing listened to Zhou Zhiqing's analysis and nodded his head again and again to express his appreciation.

"Good!"

"This official really didn't misunderstand you, this official thought you were a talent back then, and recommended you to His Majesty the Emperor several times."

"It's just a pity, now that you've climbed to the top of the Three Emperors, you can't look down on me as an old boss anymore, hahaha!"

When the other two heard this, they also hurried up to play the round.

"Brother Zhou, you won't leave when you return to Beijing this time, I don't know where you will go next?"

"The doors of our Metropolitan Court are always open to you!"

"The gate of our Dali Temple is also quite spacious, so you don't need to go to the Metropolitan Courtyard to crowd!"

Yang Jing couldn't help but laugh and scolded when he heard the two of them digging the foot of the wall in front of him.

"You two fuck off!"

"This is the treasure of my criminal department, if you are transferred back to the capital, then you will also return to my criminal department as an official, how can you fool around with the two of you!"

Zhou Zhiqing just accompanied the smiling face on the side and did not say anything more.

From now on, his mission has been completed, and it is only necessary for the three of them to go out and pronounce the sentence.

"The three adults will discuss it again, and the lower officials will retire first!"

In the back hall where Zhou Zhiqing left, there were three people who were talking and laughing just now, and their faces immediately became gloomy.

"It's too much!"

"Someone thinks that by climbing the high branch of the Three Emperors' Suns, they can point fingers at us?"

"It's just that someone is disrespectful to the two of us, and he dares to teach your old boss to do things, which is obviously not taking you seriously!"

Yang Jing listened to the words of the two colleagues, and a sneer appeared on his face.

"It's too much!"

"But we also have to admit that he is right!"

"No one can force the emperor to release people, and no one can force the emperor to kill people!"

"If the emperor doesn't want to kill, it's useless for us to pull out more reason!"

Several people studied for a while, and then returned to the front hall to retry the case.

Yang Jing saw that his position as the chief judge was not robbed, and his gloomy face was finally better.

In fact, Zhu Yunxi didn't want to sit in that position at all.

He overturned the case for his uncle without any bottom line, which is quite shameful in itself.

If he were to judge the case himself, the people of the world would not be able to scold him to death?

This is also the reason why he has done so much, but he has to push Zhou Zhiqing out.

Its purpose is one, to save some face for himself and the imperial grandfather......

Yang Jing saw that everyone was looking at him with burning eyes, and he only felt a fever on his face.

Because, next he is going to make a decision against his ancestors!

"The judge below announces the outcome of the trial!"

"The evidence in the Chang Sheng murder case is conclusive, and he himself has confessed, this is an ironclad case, and there is all the human and material evidence, and he will never be allowed to deny it."

"But considering that he is the king of Kaiping, and he is the wife and brother of the late Prince Yiwen, the crime is reduced by one degree, and the sentence is changed from Ling Chi to a beheading decision!"

Although Zhou Zhiqing said it very clearly, Yang Jing and the others still felt that the sentence could not be too light.

First, the sentence is too light than the national law does not tolerate it, and second, it is easy to be gossiped about, saying that they are afraid of the powerful and the like.

Therefore, they raised the verdict up a notch, indicating that they had done their best, and that the emperor did not want to kill people, and it had nothing to do with them.

However, they still have one hand, that is, they have deleted the words "extermination" and "heinous".

But even so, as soon as Yang Jing's words came out, the people around him still fried the pot.

Many of them had heard the storyteller tell the story of King Kaiping, and now they were glad to see that the son of King Kaiping was about to be beheaded.

"Why is that judged?"

"You are officials and officials!"

"King Kaiping has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty can't be so wronged by the son of the King of Kaiping!"

"The court is unfair!"

"The Three Laws are unfair!"

Yang Jing was stunned when he heard the insults of the people around him, and said in his heart, what do these people want?

As everyone knows, the people who watch the excitement are similar to the ** of later generations, generally speaking, the verdict starts with the death penalty, if they are allowed to overturn the case, it must be acquittal.

Yang Jing looked at the two colleagues next to him depressedly, only to see that the two hurriedly turned their heads to the side, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble with him.

Yang Jing had this hatred in his heart, he had just said it in the house, and everyone announced it together.

Why did these two people change their minds as soon as they went out?

Yang Jing knocked a few times and shouted at everyone.

"Silence!"

"This official's verdict is not final, the final result must be decided by His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Quit!"

"Mighty ......"

In the sound of majestic "might", Yang Jing and the others slipped through the back door as if they were fleeing, leaving only Yin Songyi of Yingtianfu to clean up the mess.

Song Yi saw that the three of them gave such a result, and he was also depressed in his heart.

While ordering people to take Chang Sheng back to the prison, he also ordered people to drive the people away.

The three of them fled from Ying Tianfu and hurriedly went back to each of them to write a letter to indicate their position on the verdict.

Lao Zhu read the verdict of the three people, and saw that there was no mention of the destruction of the door, and his face also showed a relieved expression.

If the civil official bites the word "destroy the door" and makes a fuss, even he, the emperor, will feel very embarrassed.

After all, the Great Ming Law was formulated by him, and it was specially used to maintain the order of his Great Ming Empire.

No matter what, he, who is the emperor, can't take the initiative to do anything that violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if he wants to do it, he has to let the courtiers beg him to do it, so that he will not be poked in the backbone by the people of the Ming Dynasty.

After the recital of the three law divisions was handed over, the recital of the three princes and several counts was also handed over.

They expressed earnestly that they were willing to use the Danshu iron coupons rewarded by the imperial court to atone for Chang Sheng's sins.

Lao Zhu hid in the Qianqing Palace, counted the number of Danshu iron coupons, and found that seven had been recovered, and his face was like a chrysanthemum.

Then he returned to the front of the imperial case, drew a red pen on Chang Sheng's verdict, and wrote his verdict on the back.

A day later, Ying Tianfu was imprisoned.

"Ascend to the order!"

"Chang Sheng rebelled against lawlessness and disregarded human life, and should have been executed in order to set an example."

"However, the Lu family insulted their ancestors, but there was a way to die. It is understandable that he has always been promoted to the rank of ancestor, and he has stabbed the enemy."

"After reciting it as a meritorious service, the three princes of Yingguo, Song Guogong, and Xinguo interceded and each went to Dan to atone for their sins......

"But the sin of death is forgiven, but the sin of life is unforgivable."

"Deprive the founding dukeship, take back the iron coupons of Chang Jia Danshu, and distribute Chang Sheng to Yunnan, if he is pardoned, he will not be pardoned......

"Distribution?"

Chang Sheng was stupid when he heard this verdict, he had thought about ten thousand ways to die, but he never thought that he could live!

Although he was stripped of his title by the imperial court, he couldn't keep the title just because he committed that thing!

He was cheeky to write to the emperor, which was to pray that the emperor would pass on the title to his third brother for the sake of his father's face.

But this is just his wishful thinking, and the emperor may not agree.

Now the emperor actually spared his life, and just sent himself to Yunnan, which is tantamount to picking up a big bargain!

As long as my nephew becomes the emperor in the future, we are still worried that we will have no chance to make meritorious contributions as an uncle?

Even if you can't do it, the eldest nephew can return the title to Chang Sen for the sake of our face!

Seeing that Chang Sheng was slow to thank him, the second tiger who passed the decree smiled and teased.

"Second Master Chang, why don't you hurry up and thank you?"

"Wechen...... We're thanking Your Majesty Longen, woo woo woo ......"

Erhu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and pointed to the three emperor grandsons behind him who were so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

"Second Master Chang, you should thank him the most!"

"In order to intercede for you, the three emperor grandsons have been beaten by the emperor several times, and the emperor really can't resist the three emperor grandsons, so he will open up to you."

"There are also the Duke of Xinguo, the Duke of Song, and the Duke of Ying, these three Guogongs are also deadly, otherwise you would never come out alive like this!"

Chang Sheng nodded heavily when he heard this.

"I understand!"

"This time, the Chang family owes a lot of favors, and I can't pay it off for the rest of my life!"

Zhu Yunxi saw that Erhu had finished announcing the holy decree, so he hurriedly ran to Chang Sheng and happily pulled Chang Sheng up.

"Second uncle, let's go home!"

"Three Emperor Suns, this is not appropriate, I want to send Yunnan......

"No hurry!"

"Even if it's sent to Yunnan, I have to let you go home and clean up first, and say goodbye to your family, right?"

"This ......"
