Volume 1 One Hand Covers the Sky Chapter 19 Mirror
"My lord, water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, but now that the boat is broken, the old slave can't take care of so much for his family." Ma Fu saluted him, "Don't blame me, my lord. β
Yu Chengyue's face was gloomy, and she couldn't stop trembling when she pressed the palm on the armrest. Chen Jinqiu even raised his throat in one breath, staring at Ma Fu nervously.
Ma Fu hung his head dejectedly, and said in an astringent voice: "In the seventh year of Zhongyong, the old slave did intercept a secret letter, and the messenger's name was Jiang Lin. Then I had Jiang Lin arrested, buried him alive in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Daizhou, and coerced Li to lure his adopted son and Ma and go to Chongdu to surrender and confessββ"
"Ma Fu!" Yu Chengyue stood up, "You dare?!" β
Ma Fu suddenly laughed, his expression was strange and difficult to distinguish: "My lord, don't blame, this matter is all done by me alone, my lord, please also treat my family and heirs well for the sake of the old slave who has been waiting for many years." β
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked, and Yu Chengyue sat back in his seat as if he had collapsed. And Chen Jinqiu was even more relieved, and immediately peeked at Chen Qiusheng.
Ma Fu's move was already intended to be borne alone, and the situation suddenly opened up, and the turning point has come!
"Ma Fu, do you admit that you murdered Jiang Lin?" The corners of Chen Qiusheng's eyes twitched, "Can someone instruct him?" β
"No one has instructed you." Ma Fu bowed down, his arms trembling and trembling, "It's me Ma Fu, who did it alone!" β
Chen Qiusheng took a deep breath, as if suppressing his anger, and said, "Why did you coerce your adopted son and frame Jiang Zimo? β
"Zhen Yi's heir, everyone who plots rebellion and treason will be punished!" The moment Ma Fu raised his head, he seemed to have made up his mind, "Leave this disaster, he may endanger the society of the country one day!" β
Yu Chengyue stroked his beard and said with appreciation: "Well said! β
Who of the officials present could not understand? Ma Fu is going to resist the guilt alone, after all, his family is in the hands of Yu Chengyue!
So what about Chen Qiusheng? Everyone already knew that he wanted to get to the letter, and they wouldn't let it go!
But now Ma Fu is guilty and has completely abandoned Cheng Yue, even if he knows that Yu Chengyue is the mastermind behind it, he has nothing to do.
Chen Qiusheng's expression changed, and he suddenly looked appreciative and said: "Endangering the society of the country, it is really good, and it is commendable to be so loyal." Jiao Shishi, let me ask you, Luo Chuan sent a letter to Liu Shuoyun, you said that you had never opened the letter, but so? β
Jiao Pengxing nodded fearlessly: "Exactly." β
Chen Qiusheng coughed lightly twice before saying, "Okay, come here, show him the evidence letters." β
Bing Cao approached with a tray, and Jiao Pengxing suddenly felt puzzled when he saw it, there were actually several letters on the wooden plate.
He said, "I wonder which one you want me to see?" β
Chen Qiusheng coughed and coughed and suddenly became a little heavier, he raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth, and said, "Take a look." β
Jiao Pengxing picked up one suspiciously and began to read it, but after reading one, he seemed to wake up suddenly, his eyes widened and he opened one after another to look at it, and after a while, his hands began to tremble.
This strange appearance also made everyone look at him curiously.
"This is ......" Jiao Pengxing looked horrified, "YouβHow can you have this letter?!" β
"Jiao Shishi, these letters were all found in your room." Liu Shuoyun said as if consoling, "I specially brought it so that you can take a good look in broad daylight." β
"Shaft dares to !!" Jiao Pengxing stood up suddenly, he pointed to Chen Qiusheng in the lobby and shouted resolutely, "I'm Jiao Pengxing, these are just family letters from me and my sister, Chen Qiusheng!" Don't forget that my sister is the current queen! β
Chen Qiusheng's face is expressionless, he is like a calm lake, without waves, whenever he speaks, he is understated and calm.
"Today's queen, I naturally know." Chen Qiusheng's face was flushed, he got up and went down the steps, and accurately picked up one from the tray, "Dare to ask, how do you explain this letter with Daizhou Mu?" β
Jiao Peng forced himself to compose: "This, this is just a letter from a friend." β
Chen Qiusheng handed over the letter and said calmly, "Read." β
"Presumptuous!" Jiao Pengxing immediately burst into tears, "I'm the queen's brother, do you want me to read my privacy in public?!" Chen Qiusheng, don't deceive me and no one! β
"Now there are only courtiers in this court, and there are no relatives of the emperor." Chen Qiusheng took a step closer, "Read." β
Jiao Pengxing raised his hand and waved it away, and roared with a red face: "I don't think you want to be a court lieutenant!" β
Chen Qiusheng knew that the other party would not dare, so he held up the letter and said: "I, the official, should not be decided by the saint - bother Liang Duwei and read this letter." β
Liang Fenghou was about to get the letter, but Jiao Pengxing suddenly reached out to grab it!
Liang Fenghou's eyes were quick, he grabbed Jiao Pengxing's wrist and pulled it down, Jiao Pengxing screamed immediately in pain.
Liang Fenghou clasped Jiao Pengxing with one hand, lifted the paper with the other hand and shook it open, and said: "Jiao Shishi personally received it, the secret letter has been entrusted to someone to take care of it, Jiang Lin is dead, I have ordered someone to replace Jiang Lin to go to Chongdu to surrender and accuse, Jiang Zimo is in a catastrophe this timeββ"
"That's fine." Chen Qiusheng interrupted him, "Jiao Shishi, now that this matter involves Kyushu, and the Holy Lord is also watching in Chongdu, I ask you now, do you recognize it?" β
"Lord Chen." Yu Chengyue stood up silently, "Do you know what you're doing?" If this case is tried like you, I am afraid that this day will change greatly. β
Under the hazy sky, a cold rain began to fall, and the fine raindrops were sprinkled and turned into a torrential rain in an instant.
The people outside the field had nowhere to dodge, and they were all doused, but they didn't leave, they were all looking forward to it.
This case affects everyone's hearts, and they don't want Jiang Zimo to be safe and sound.
They want the truth!
Chen Qiusheng looked back at Yu Chengyue, and the two looked at each other!
In the momentum of the competition, Chen Qiusheng calmly replied: "There is only one piece of heaven up and down this Zheng country. β
Thundered.
The thunder snake swam away from the clouds, and Jiang Zimo seemed to hold on to the moment when he could breathe.
He raised his old face, and his cloudy eyes saw Chen Qiusheng's appearance clearly from the blur.
"You're really stubborn." Yu Chengyue leaned in and whispered, "If this matter reaches Lord Sikong, your Chen family, I'm afraid it will cease to exist." β
"Lord Yu is too worried, there is no Chen family here, only the law of Zheng Guo." Chen Qiusheng looked at him, "Yuzhou Mu, what do you explain to these letters?" β
Yu Chengyue turned sideways and said in a dark voice: "The old man listens to orders." β
This scene fell in Jiang Zimo's eyes, and he understood.
Chen Qiusheng won, but he also lost.
"Come on, the evidence is conclusive." Chen Qiusheng covered his lips and coughed a few times, "Yuzhou Mu, Shi Jiao Pengxing, and housekeeper Ma Fu, the three of them plotted to secretly order Luo Chuan, a small official under his door, to pretend to be Jiang Lin, and according to the law, he was imprisoned, so the case involved a lot. β
The sleeved robe was dyed a little red, and Chen Qiusheng seemed to take two steps at random, and then stood in place steadily.
Ma Fu was stunned and was dragged away like a log, while Jiao Pengxing was shouted and cursed, but Yu Chengyue shook off the clamps of the soldiers and walked calmly to the prison with his hands behind his back.
Everyone looked around at Chen Qiusheng as if they were suffocated, the pastor of a state, the emperor's relatives and relatives, were all convicted and put in prison by him, no one understood why he did this, let alone what he was going to do.
He was like a mountain stream in the rain and fog.
Only when chance comes.
to be able to see the only clarity.
β¦β¦
The fog cleared in the rain.
Pin drops can be heard inside and outside the field.
"Jiang Zimo." Chen Qiusheng looked at the people gathered outside the hall, "This sinner's evidence and physical evidence are all there, you ...... Admit it or not? β
Jiang Zimo looked at him, at this moment he only had Chen Qiusheng in his eyes, when Emperor Zheng Wu called him Dingze Zhensong, no one in Kyushu admired his personality and governance methods.
When he was young, he was a sturdy green pine that sheltered Zheng Guo from the wind and rain, and no one looked down on him in the court, and when he was old, he was an old tree in the ocean of Yanzhou, earning a moment of respite for the people.
But now Zheng Guo's sky has gradually been covered by a big hand, and the officials in the court tend to be flattering and corrupt, and he is heartbroken.
But for the sake of Zheng Guo, he could only curl up in Yanzhou and wait for the change, but that hand had now covered the bright sun and choked the throats of the people of Dawn.
The light is gone.
There was a terrible wail and a cruel laugh in the darkness, and he was afraid and tired of hearing it, and thought that he would leave his family and return to his old age.
But I didn't expect that in this soil full of blood and intrigue, there was a spotless mirror.
Jiang Zimo seems to see his former young self from this mirror, unruly, standing on a lonely cliff bank, overlooking all living beings. But Chen Qiusheng still has a sense of calmness and calmness, which he never had.
Calm, calm and emotionless.
And this is such an absolute coldness, which suddenly injected a long-lost hope into Jiang Zimo's weakened heart.
Maybe this mirror can illuminate a ray of light for Zheng Guo.
"Old man......"
Jiang Zimo seemed to be sorry and relieved, he knelt on the ground and bowed to the court.
"Old man...... Plead guilty. β
All the people's hearts were clenched with Jiang Zimo's worship, and they all knelt on the ground in an uproar, wailing bitterly, and shouting in their mouths, 'The boss is wronged!' β
Chen Qiusheng covered his lips and coughed heavily, he looked at the people walking towards the outside of the hall, and his face frowned strangely with a calm face.
The hoarse tone seemed to overflow from his throat, and he said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" Now that Jiang Zimo's guilt has been settled, everyone in the hall, dare to ask, can I, Chen Qiusheng, make a mistake? β
The people suddenly stopped crying and raised their heads, watching Chen Qiusheng slowly walk out of the hall in a trance, and was soaked by the torrential rain in an instant.
"I know that over the years, Yanzhou has made meritorious contributions to water control, and you have an old man in your heart, thinking of avenging him." Chen Qiusheng snorted a little heavier, "But Zheng Guo's laws and regulations come first, if the offender escapes because of the old feelings, then we can't do it in our hearts, and the country can't, then the people don't want it!"
I, Chen Qiusheng, am the imperial lieutenant of the emperor's grace, and I am in charge of the law of Zheng Guo, if I misjudge, all the people of Zheng Guo can eat my flesh and sleep on my skin to vent their anger. But if I have no mistakes, everyone, you cry out for injustice, where does the injustice come from? β
When the people heard this, they looked left and right, as if they were stopped by Chen Qiusheng.
In the middle of the night, only a man dressed as a scholar squeezed out of the crowd on his knees, his face was wet with rain, and he saluted with both hands and said: "Lord Chen is strict in judging the case, without the slightest deviation, I am happy and convinced!"
But my lord, Mr. Jiang has been guarding Yanzhou for me for a full thirty years! In the past 30 years, there have been frequent floods, and now that summer is approaching, when the flood occurs, dare to ask my lord, where are the millions of people in 14 counties of Yanzhou? ! β
