Chapter Forty-Six: Release!
"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Qin Shangshu frowned slightly, and then greeted him.
Princess Ning Yue got off the sedan chair, her cold gaze swept in the courtyard of the Criminal Department, and opened her lips: "The Criminal Department took Jiang Han today?" ”
Although Qin Shangshu had already guessed, he couldn't help but sink slightly in his heart.
Sure enough, I came for Jiang Han......
He is just a concubine of Wei Guogong, even if he has some poetic talent, he is only a Confucian boy after all, how can he attract so many people?
Although the eldest princess Ning Yue had a marriage contract with Jiang Han, it was rumored that the eldest princess heard that Jiang Han slandered herself and even killed the sect to beat people.
If it weren't for Jiang Han composing poems on the spot in the Purple Pole Hall and praising Princess Ning Yue, he would have become a eunuch long ago.
And now it is also for him?
Princess Ning Yue stared at her, then walked towards the Great Confucian, and said, "Why are the three Great Confucians here?" ”
……
Before Jiang Han could deal with his injuries, he hurried to the compound of the Criminal Department and bowed.
"Nie Langzhong, didn't you interrogate Jiang Han? How did you get hurt? Qin Shangshu's eyes swept Nie Langzhong's forehead coldly, and said in a deep voice.
"My lord, today Guozi Jian Zheng Li Fuwei and Guozi Jian He Xiu and Wang Yuan secretly reported that Jiang Han wrote a book of great rebellion, and bewitched people at the gate of Guozi Prison, slandering and insulting His Majesty. The incident happened suddenly, and after the lower official took the arrest documents, he arrested this person! ”
When Nie Langzhong saw Princess Ning Yue and the Great Confucian of Taixue, his heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly bowed and said.
"After returning to the Criminal Department, Xia Guan interrogated Jiang Han and ordered him to confess to the charges, Xia Guan thought that this person was a Confucian student, weak and weak, and did not shackle him, who knew that Jiang Han took advantage of my unpreparedness, and actually snatched the shackles and committed murder! Xia Guan was caught off guard and was almost killed by him! The wound on his head is the wound he wounded with his shackles!
Now Jiang Han is locked up in prison, but he has confessed, and please take a look! ”
The great Confucians of the Taixue Mansion were all in the compound, and Nie Langzhong didn't dare to lie, but only concealed some of the facts, except for forcibly forcing Jiang Han to sign and draw the detention, everything else was true.
"What a bold Jiang Han! Beating people in the criminal department, is there still a law in his eyes! ”
"The court officials represent the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, and Jiang Han beats the court officials, which is clearly disrespectful to the Son of Heaven and contempt for the Son of Heaven!"
"If you dare to beat someone in the Criminal Department today, will you dare to beat someone in the Purple Pole Hall tomorrow!"
The officials of the Criminal Department in the compound of the Criminal Department suddenly spoke out one after another, and the officials of the Criminal Department even said in a deep voice: "What an arrogant and domineering man!" Tomorrow in the court, I will definitely participate in the defense of the country! ”
Qin Shangshu shouted in a deep voice: "Where is the confession!" ”
Nie Langzhong took out the confession from his arms and said, "Please take a look!" ”
Qin Shangshu took the confession, glanced at it, and said, "Three great Confucians, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, please take a look!" ”
Yu Yunqi took a look at it and said, "This confession has not yet been drawn, so it may not be Jiang Hanzhao's confession!" These words are just one side of Nie Lang's words, who knows which is true and which is false. ”
Nie Langzhong said loudly: "Jiang Han beat the official, and the jailer of the Criminal Department testified!" As for writing a book to insult His Majesty, there is evidence to follow, and the evidence of his crime is not intentionally arranged. ”
Chu Jingzhi said angrily: "This book is my personal trial, am I also involved in it?" It is clearly far-fetched and stiff by people with ulterior motives, what kind of evidence is this! Qin Shangshu, let me ask you, did the old man also insult His Majesty? Could it be that the old man is also demagoguery? ”
Qin Shangshu remained silent and glanced at Nie Shu lightly, who immediately lowered his head.
Qin Shangshu said: "This matter is very important, whether the book is insulting or not, this official should personally check it, and then interrogate!" If it is confirmed that it is just far-fetched and stubborn, the criminal department should release the person! If you really have ulterior motives and intend to confuse people's hearts, you will be punished severely!
But Jiang Han beat the court officials, the evidence is conclusive! The officials of the Criminal Department represent the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, Jiang Han's crime is like insulting the Son of Heaven, the Criminal Department cannot release people today, and please go back to the three Great Confucians and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess! ”
Qin Shangshu's words were impartial, and the three great Confucians looked at each other silently, unable to refute.
Whether "Dream of Red Mansions" blasphemes the emperor's grace and insults the Son of Heaven is still inconclusive, but Jiang Han's beating is a real thing, even if he is not guilty in the front, just beating the court officials can make Jiang Han suffer a heavy sentence.
Gu Qingqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Qin Shangshu, can you allow me to ask a few words." ”
Qin Shangshu said: "Gu Daru, please!" ”
Gu Qingqiu looked at Nie Langzhong's forehead injury and said, "Nie Langzhong, when you were interrogating Jiang Han, he suddenly hit you?" ”
Nie Shu said: "It was indeed Jiang Han who beat him!" At that time, the lower official asked him to sign and draw the detainment, who knew that he pretended to be detained, and actually went violent, smashed the lower official with shackles, and then threatened the lower official to kill the lower official! The prison guards can testify to this! ”
"What a guts! The representative of the imperial court official is today, he dares to commit murder against you, doesn't he want to live! You're not going to force him to draw a confession, are you? ”
Nie Lang's center jumped up suddenly, a flash of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes, and said, "How dare Xia Guan do that." ”
"That's good! Hundreds of officials represent the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, and his face represents the dignity of the Son of Heaven, and he is so presumptuous, it is simply an unforgivable sin!
You don't have to be afraid, those despicable and shameless people will always be punished, although I am no longer in the officialdom, I am also of some use in speaking! Assaulting an official of the imperial court is a serious crime, tomorrow I will write an excerpt and hand it over, impeach Wei Guogong, interrogate Jiang Han and the jailers at that time, ask them one by one, and when the truth is revealed, Jiang Han will be stripped of his civil position, expelled from Kyoto, and exiled to Lingnan! Behead him in court to set an example! ”
"As long as what you say is true, this Jiang Han will definitely die! You're not lying, are you? ”
As Gu Qingqiu spoke, the aura on his body slowly rose, and his eyes were staring at Nie Langzhong's face.
Nie Langzhong's face was pale and trembling, and under Gu Qingqiu's terrifying deterrence, he couldn't even say the words "not lying".
Qin Shangshu has been in officialdom for a long time, so he naturally can see that Gu Qingqiu is using advanced Confucian and Taoist cultivation to torture Nie Shu, and with Nie Shu's pale face, he can see that he is lying.
"Nie Shu, it's better to tell the truth!" Qin Shangshu shouted.
This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back, Nie Langzhong knelt on the ground with a thud, and involuntarily said: "I lied, I listened to He Xiu's words, and I want to make this matter an iron case, and let people confess according to Jiang Han's hand-drawn ......"
Gu Qingqiu sneered: "I see, Qin Shangshu, you have raised a lot of good officials in this criminal department!" ”
Qin Shangshu said in a deep voice: "What a bold and reckless Nie Shu! Come on, take Nie Shu down and strip off his official uniform, remove his civil position, and never use it! ”
"Lord Shangshu, can Jiang Han be released now?" Yu Yunqi said in a deep voice.
"Go to the prison and release Jiang Han!" Now, Jiang Han can no longer be closed, Qin Shangshu waved his hand.
However, at this moment, a person's voice sounded outside.
