Jinling Night Chapter 162 Dali Temple

Seeing that the sky was not yet dawn, and there was no need to get up early to go to the court during the day, Zhang Lu directly lay down to make up for sleep, Xu was still apprehensive about the previous dream, and he tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.

Zhang Lu simply didn't sleep, and went directly to the ground with shoes on and practiced knife skills in the yard.

After a set of procedures, the sky was already bright, and Zhang Zhen directly drew water from the well, and he was not afraid of the cold, so he directly poured the water on his body to wash away the wet sweat.

Then he went back to his room and changed into a clean set of clothes.

After breakfast, the porter ran all the way and stood in front of Zhang Lu and reported, "Young Master, there is an official in front of you, saying that you want to go to Dali Temple."

Zhang Zhen wiped his mouth and asked, "What about people?"

The porter said, "Leave the talker and leave."

Zhang Zhen shook his head, these officials in the court really regarded themselves as snakes and scorpions, and they were also the supervisors sent by His Majesty, so the three divisions were so disrespectful?

However, Zhang Lu had no choice but to go to Dali Temple alone.

Dali Temple is equivalent to the Supreme People's Court of later generations, the power is still above the Criminal Department, in charge of the review of judicial cases, as long as it is a case of Dali Temple, it can be regarded as a coffin conclusion, and there is no longer the possibility of overturning the case.

Zhang Zhen did not encounter any obstacles when he entered Dali Temple, presumably he had already greeted him above, and when he entered the main hall of Dali Temple, he found that it was already full of courtiers.

Dali Siqing sat in the middle position, and the officials of the Criminal Department and the Inspectorate were on the left and right.

Zhang Kai also saw Yuan Kai's figure in it, he smiled and waved his hand, but Yuan Kai only glanced at him lightly and stopped looking at him, without the slightest intention of greeting.

Zhang Zhen touched his nose, but he still shook his head and didn't care much.

The Dali Siqing in the middle looked at Zhang Zhen and directly slapped the shocking wood, which frightened Zhang Zhen who was unprepared.

Good guy, I'm standing in the middle of the hall, and you're shocked, and you don't know and think I'm a criminal.

I only heard Dali Siqing speak: "Since the supervision sent by His Majesty has arrived, then let's ascend to the court."

The officials nodded one after another, and Zhang Zhen stepped aside, he saw that the officials in the hall had a chair for each person, but there was no wealth, so he could only stand.

I saw Dali Siqing shake his sleeve robe, and said to the official below, "Bring Li Cunyi up."

Who is this Li Cunyi? Shouldn't it be Lee Sun-chang who is on trial? Although he was puzzled, Zhang Zhen didn't ask, he still planned to take a look.

After waiting for a short time, Li Cunyi was put up by two officials. It was indeed erected, because his legs and feet seemed to be a little difficult to handle.

Li Cunyi looks not young, he is dressed very elegantly, and he has the image of a rich and noble little old man, but if you look closely, you will find that his eye sockets are deeply sunken and his eyes are blank.

Seeing that Li Cunyi had already brought it, Dali Siqing slapped the stunned wood again, and his face was also solemn: "Li Cunyi, do you say or not? How did Hu Weiyong plot a rebellion with Li Shanchang back then?"

This Li Cunyi seemed to be startled by the shocking wood, his body trembled, and his eyes gradually became bright, he raised his eyes to look at Dali Siqing, and then looked at the adults around him, and tears came out of his eyes directly: "Don't kill me, please don't kill me, I'll say it all!"

Just cried and said two words, Xu was too scared, Li Cunyi trembled all over, and then he couldn't even speak.

Dali Siqing looked contemptuous, slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted, "What are you crying about? Hurry up and summon it truthfully!"

Frightened by this, although Li Cunyi was still trembling, he held back and stopped crying.

I only heard him sobbing and said: "I said, I said, Hu Weiyong plotted to rebel back then, but there was my brother on the top, he never dared to act rashly, and finally he could only entrust me to act as a lobbyist to persuade my brother, I was also a lard at that time, and I had a good talk with my brother, I thought that I could be a big official like my brother, but my brother took me

scolded me and told me to behave myself. I did participate in what happened back then, and now I only want to die, but my brother has not participated in it, and I ask for the wisdom of the officials."

Now Zhang Zhen can be regarded as understanding, the feeling that this Li Cunyi is Li Shanchang's younger brother, and when the case is tried, he starts with the suspect's relatives, and this Dali Temple is really much smarter than the Criminal Department.

After Li Cunyi finished speaking, he directly kowtowed his head. It's really hard to say whether he is cowardly, you say he is cowardly, but he dares to participate in the rebellion, and now he only wants to die, you have to say that he is bold, he was so frightened that he cried when he just passed the hall.

In fact, it's no wonder that Li Cunyi, when he was involved in the rebellion case, he watched his colleagues around him being dragged to behead one by one, and His Majesty knew about his involvement in it, but he still pardoned him for the sake of Li Shanchang's face, even so, but Li Cunyi was frightened for ten years, for fear that His Majesty would ask for his head one day when he remembered this matter.

Now Li Cunyi also understands that instead of living and being frightened every day, it is better to die directly.

Even the officials of the Three Law Divisions didn't expect that today's case would be tried so quickly, and they were still studying at a low level, if Li Cunyi refused to confess, would they be punished or not.

Now that the matter of the year has become clear, Dali Siqing naturally asked Li Cunyi to take him down, as for the servant in Li Shanchang's mansion, there is no need to interrogate, and what the person who sold himself as a slave may not be accepted in court.

According to Li Cunyi's statement, Li Shanchang did not participate in the rebellion that year, but he was guilty of not reporting it knowingly, which can be regarded as bullying the king, this matter can be big or small, even the three law divisions have no way to convict him, so they can only let the scribe write everything down clearly for His Majesty to judge.

The officials of the three legal divisions left one by one, and in the end, it was the scribe who stuffed the case file and confession to Zhang Chen.

He is the superintendent appointed by His Majesty, and it is indeed his duty to send these things to the palace.

Zhang Lu rushed to the palace non-stop, and when he passed by the palace gate, he saw Feng Hong, a hundred households guarding here.

Seeing that Zhang Yan's dark circles were a little darker than yesterday, Feng Hong stopped him directly.

Zhang Yan was a little confused, and said, "Old Feng, Your Majesty appointed me as a supervisor, but you allowed me to enter the palace at any time, why did you stop me?"

Feng Hong was bitterly comforted: "Zhang Zhen, old Feng, my age is also rich when your uncle, it's not that my uncle said you, you shouldn't be greedy for bed when you're young, look at you, your eyes are dark, if you are like this, sooner or later the woman will die on the belly!"

Zhang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Lao Feng, I really haven't touched a woman, I told you that I had a dream last night and didn't sleep well at all, do you believe it?"
