Yu Dingguo flipped through the file, glanced at the ministers sitting on both sides, and said slowly, "Guo Cong, Zhao Bai, Xu Xin, Guo Quji, Zhang Xiaoyi, smuggling military horses and leaving the tomb without permission; Chun Yu fornicated with foreign domains, stole and sold forbidden materials to the enemy; Qiu Qian stole ordnance; Song Hui kept official documents; Zhao Wureason, Xu Liu's Lingyue, adultery and murder. Ten people and five cases, the court lieutenant was edicted to try the trial, and the ministers had any advice. ”

Min Shitong was already in a hurry, suddenly stood up, held the wat in both hands, and said loudly: "Guo Cong, Zhao Bai, Xu Xin, Guo Quji, Zhang Xiaoyi and Chun Yuji were all convicted because of the border dispute between Shuo Fang. As we all know, the Monan Xiongnu have long been submitted to the imperial court and are for the Han and Hun families. In this border dispute, the Shuofang County Government reported to the imperial court twice, saying that it was a conflict caused by a misunderstanding. The second report made it clear that this was a misunderstanding, that there was no hostility between the two sides, and that the dispute had subsided after the communication, and that the border was peaceful. ”

Speaking of this, he turned around and faced Huo Yu: "Da Sima is in charge of the government, he must have seen these two reports, I'm not wrong." ”

Huo Yu should not be either, and grinned awkwardly.

Min Shitong smiled slightly: "Since there is no enemy outside the fortress, how can you collaborate with the enemy and fund the enemy?" There is no basis for the charges. ”

A minister interjected: "At this time and then, the two sides were indeed at war. ”

Min Shitong shouted loudly: "What a time and that time." As soon as the words came out, he felt a little out of shape, so he lowered his voice and said, "How could the two sides have been enemies?" "Sitting down.

Yu Dingguo glanced at both sides, no one said he wanted to speak, so he took a piece of wood, thought for a while, and then concentrated on writing, and then blew lightly after writing, straightened up, glanced at the hall, cleared his throat, and said: "Tingwei found out that there were occasional disputes at the Shuofang border pass, and he was not an enemy, as evidenced by the county guard's report. Therefore, Guo Cong, Zhao Bai, Xu Xin, Guo Quji, and Zhang Xiaoyi were revoked for smuggling military horses, fined 10,000 yuan for leaving Lingyi without permission, and were released in court. Chun Yu fornicated with several foreign domains, and the crime of stealing and selling prohibited materials was revoked and released on the spot. ”

Huo Yun originally had an arrogant temperament, but he had experienced a lot of things in the past few days, and it was related to the life and death of the Huo family, so he became even more impatient. When he heard that Chun Yuji was released in court so easily, his heart seemed to be stuffed into a mess, and his mind was blank, and he suddenly stood up.

Yu Dingguo was stunned for a moment, and asked in an inquiring tone: "Does the Marquis of Guanyang have something to say?" ”

Huo Yun thought for a while, he didn't know what to do, and said angrily: "No." Then he sat down again.

Yu Dingguo glanced at him, secretly amused, lowered his head to look at the file, and read his fingers along the bamboo slip: "Qiu Qian, steal the ordnance." ”

Qiu Qian snorted: "The small people are wronged. ”

"What's wrong?" Yu Dingguo also wondered in his heart how such a rich kid could be hooked up with theft.

Shi Gao heard in the wing room that he was starting to judge Qiu Qian, and suddenly came to his senses, and said softly to Liu Xun: "Yu Dingguo has begun to judge Qiu Gongzi." Then he quietly moved under the window lattice.

Liu Xun recalled his interaction with Qiu Qian, and a smile appeared on his face. He had read Qiu Qian's file, and there were three soldiers who accused him of stealing ordnance, and there were all human and material evidence, and it was indeed difficult to clear the charges. He shook his head slightly and sighed.

The next minister said: "Stealing ordnance is a serious crime, and it should be punished according to the law." ”

Qiu Qian replied angrily, "I didn't steal, I just picked up the sword they left behind, and then returned it to them." ”

The minister pointed his finger at Yu Dingguo and said: "This thief still has to quibble, he is stubborn, and his sin is unforgivable." ”

Yu Dingguo ignored the minister, and asked in a kind tone: "You said that you were wronged, but there are witnesses and physical evidence." ”

Qiu Qian was speechless, her face flushed, and tears swirled in her eyes.

At this time, a voice came from the hall: "I can testify that Qiu Qian is innocent." Everyone looked for prestige, and it turned out to be Chun Yuji, who had just been acquitted.

Chun Yuji stepped forward and knelt down: "Xiaomin Chun Yuji, I am willing to testify for Qiu Qian that he did not steal ordnance." ”

Chun Yuji was released in court, Huo Yun was already unhappy, at this time, he was angry in his heart, Teng jumped up, pointed at Chun Yuji and shouted: "Chun Yuji, this is the Tingwei Mansion, how can you be allowed to talk about it." If he commits perjury, he will be guilty of the same crime. ”

Chun Yu put his hands on the ground, raised his head and said: "If there is any truth, the people are willing to accept the guilt." ”

Yu Dingguo looked serious and said: "Qiu Qian's theft of weapons is a suspected crime, and the truth should be determined." What evidence do you have to defend Qiu Qian? ”

Chun Yu said: "The ordnance accused Qiu Qian of stealing, but it is a green sword?" ”

Yu Dingguo looked down at the file and said, "It is a long sword engraved with the word 'Qingyu', and it is an ordnance." ”

Chun Yu said: "This Qingyu sword is my personal belongings, not an ordnance. And this sword is still in my bag, how can I say that I stole it. ”

There was a laugh from the hall, and a minister whispered, "In your bag? Is it stolen by you again? Several ministers also echoed and laughed.

Yu Dingguo frowned slightly, and said, "How do you prove that the Qingyu Sword is yours." ”

"This sword is the ancestral treasure of the Chunyu clan, when Xiao Xiangguo in recognition of the merits of my ancestors, specially issued a sword-holding military sword." Chun Yuji took out a piece of wood from his sleeve and handed it to the official, who took it and stepped forward to send it to the court captain's case.

Yu Dingguo read it carefully, and his face showed admiration: "Sure enough, it was written by Xiao He Xiao Xiangguo." ”

A minister wondered: "Since it is Chun Yuji's personal belongings, how could it get into the hands of those three sergeants, so that they were picked up by Qiu Qian." ”

Huo Yun sneered: "Chun Yuji, you are guilty, so your house was raided, right?" In this case, the confiscated objects belong to the imperial court, so the Qingyu Sword can be regarded as an ordnance in the hands of the sergeant. Qiu Qian stealing ordnance is not tolerated by the law. Also, how did the Qingyu Sword get into your hands? As far as I know, your belongings are stored in the Shuofang County Government, and you are also suspected of stealing. With that, he glared at Chun Yu a few times viciously.

Yu Dingguo announced in court that Chun Yu was almost innocent, he couldn't stop it, and a resentment accumulated in his heart. Now Chun Yuji came out to testify for Qiu Qian, and he just took the opportunity to vent, and if Qiu Qian was convicted, then Chun Yuji would also be guilty of perjury. He knew that Chun Yu had killed the Huo Mansion messenger and took the Qingyu Sword from the backyard of the county government. However, he did not dare to mention the killing, otherwise he would not be able to tell.

Several ministers nodded frequently and smiled approvingly.

Shi Gao, who was sitting in the right wing, was taken aback when he heard this, and his face changed, and he couldn't help but worry that Qiu Qian and Chun Yu would be punished. He glanced back at Liu Xun, who was expressionless.

Yu Dingguo also felt that this was a suspicious point, so he asked: "Chun Yuji, how do you explain it." ”

When Chun Yuji retrieved the Qingyu Sword in the backyard of the county government, he accidentally killed the messenger of Huofu, and was originally worried that Huo Yun would mention this matter and investigate him for murder, but now when he heard him say this, he was relieved, so he said calmly: "After Xiaomin was detained, the county prison informed me that I would be escorted to Chang'an Tingwei's Mansion, and I was allowed to bring some personal belongings. Xiaomin immediately went back to the barracks to pick up the goods, and learned that they were transported by the sergeant to the government office and temporarily stored in the backyard of the county government. The Qingyu Sword is an ancestral heirloom of the small people and is regarded as a treasure. Xiaomin thought that the backyard of the county government was not the treasury of the government, and the Xiaomin's belongings were stacked here, which was temporarily kept with the Xiaomin, so it was okay to retrieve them. ”

Huo Yun said indignantly: "Nonsense. ”

Yu Dingguo frowned, lightly tapped his fingers on the bookcase a few times, thought for a while, and beckoned to Pang Meng: "Pang Meng, come here." You're a county jailer, so you should know about it. Tell me about it. ”

Pang Meng stepped forward and knelt down, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Chun Yu is a military medical officer. As far as the lower officials knew, after Chun Yuji was imprisoned, he was removed from the army, and his personal belongings were all removed from his military camp residence by the sergeants and temporarily stored in the backyard of the county government. The lower officials have never seen the approval of the raid, and Chun Yuji's personal belongings have never been recorded and put into the warehouse. In this way, Xia Guan thought that this Qingyu sword should still be a personal belonging, not an ordnance. ”

Min Shitong couldn't help it again, got up and said: "The crimes charged by Chun Yu are not serious crimes such as rebellion and murder, and they will not raid the house, and his words are reasonable, and there is Pang Meng's testimony. Since the Qingyu Sword is not an ordnance and has not been stolen, then what Qiu Qian said is the truth. He only picked up the green sword that the sergeant had left behind during the transport, and there was no actual theft. Therefore, he should be acquitted. ”

Yu Dingguo read the case file again, raised his head and asked, "Do you have any objections to the ministers?" He looked around the hall and his gaze fell on Huo Yun. Although Huo Yun had dissatisfaction written on his face, after thinking about it, he couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he had to stop talking.
