From the gate of the Criminal Department, the officials and soldiers were all waiting solemnly.

On the street outside the criminal department, Zhu Houxi sat on his coat and looked at the houses in the capital.

The people who can live in this neighborhood are naturally not ordinary people.

With Zhu Houxi's temperament, he also felt breathed a sigh of relief when he left the Forbidden City today. Zhu Houzhao, who also ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, always wanted to run out, and he could indeed understand it.

What's more, he was still facing the cabinet trio of Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang.

But although there is only one person in the current cabinet, Yang Tinghe has a transcendent reputation, and Zhu Houxi gave enough power at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, so he really has peace of mind?

After stepping into the gate of the Criminal Department, Zhu Houxi focused his attention.

Yang Tinghe and others are right in front of them.

The four cabinet ministers, the six ministers and the nine secretaries, and the five ministers such as Hou Bo and Wei Bin who were involved in the case yesterday also arrived.

Many people looked at Yang Ting and they had the same hatred for the enemy.

Such high positions must be appointed by divine will, and Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, Zhang Zilin and others seem to be weak.

But Yang Tinghe's expression was calm, and after seeing the car, he asked for an order: "Your Majesty wants to hear the trial and order the ministers and others to observe, is it all in the lobby?" ”

"Prepare some stools, just sit on one side of the lobby and listen."

Zhu Houxi walked into the lobby used by the Criminal Department to interrogate repeat offenders, and Huang Jin had already prepared the small chair he had brought over.

"Your Majesty won't sit down?" Zhang Zilin was taken aback.

"I'll sit here, and I'll sit over there."

Zhu Houxi's "throne" was set up next to the desk of the secretary's office, or the side closer to the door.

He was pointing in the opposite direction.

It does not occupy the normal space of the triage of the three legal divisions, as if it is really just to observe, rather than sitting condescendingly at the top.

After a while, a number of small round stools were moved in.

After the ministers thanked him again, they sat down one by one.

Zhang Zilin walked to the chief judge with some trepidation, and on both sides of him were the tables and chairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple.

Xie Changjie secretly glanced at the calm emperor diagonally opposite, making him sit more condescendingly, but Xie Changjie became apprehensive.

"Let's get started."

As soon as Zhu Houxi finished giving the order, he saw Zhang Zilin stand up and bend down and ask, "Your Majesty, will the minister try again as yesterday, or will he continue to interrogate?" ”

"I already know the previous situation, and then I will go down to trial."

Zhang Zilin was ordered to sit down, and frowned slightly after someone went to mention Jiang Bin.

Then the next trial, a large number of people involved in the case are sitting here, did Your Majesty come to see them to confront Jiang Bin?

After looking at Yang Tinghe uneasily, he saw that his face was calm.

The lobby was so quiet waiting for Jiang Bin's arrival.

The sound of shackles dragging on the ground came from far and near, and a shout from outside the door: "Bring the prisoner!" ”

"Pass the hall!"

Zhu Houxi looked sideways.

In the hall, all the most prominent ministers in the court were here, and they all turned their heads to look at the door.

In the past, who of them could not worry about Jiang Bin for everything?

Today, he is on death row.

The door was brighter, and Jiang Bin's face was hidden in the light.

It wasn't until he struggled to lift his foot over the high threshold that the familiar face came true.

I lost a lot of weight, and my hair became a lot whiter.

"Sinner Jiang Bin, still don't you want to see Your Majesty?"

Zhang Zilin stood up first and bowed in the direction of Zhu Houxi.

After Jiang Bin was caught, he was first stripped of all his official titles under the order of Empress Dowager Zhang, and now he first looked at the emperor who was sitting calmly in the middle of the four guards.

After smiling, he first looked at the old friends opposite Zhu Houxi, especially Yang Tinghe and Wei Bin.

"Bold!" Zhang Zilin slapped the shocking wood, "If you don't have a king, you deserve death!" Come on! ”

Zhu Houxi didn't say a word, to see how they played.

"Isn't it strange that you have been condemned by you as a rebellious minister, and there is still a king in your eyes?" Jiang Bin seemed to be very funny, "I am sincerely afraid to see Your Majesty, can I avoid death, can I protect a certain relative?" Today, after all the princes are here, it should be the last time I can see my old acquaintance. Those who are dying are not speechless. Your Majesty has asked, and the sinners have told the truth. ”

He said that he faced Zhu Houxi at the back, knelt down with difficulty and bowed, and then sat on the ground in his comfortable posture.

Zhu Houxi continued with a calm face.

Zhang Zilin was shocked: "Kneel down and listen to the trial!" Jiang Bin, the three law divisions will be tried, how dare you despise the court so much? ”

"Da Sikou, you have already suffered everything, why are you still obsessed with these superficial articles?" Jiang Bin replied lazily and lazily, "Your Majesty is here, not to come to see the three law divisions to kill the mighty bar, let's try the case quickly." ”

Liang Chu looked at Yang Tinghe, and saw that he was still calm, just like His Majesty opposite.

Zhang Zilin was secretly angry in his heart: This is the court where he presides over the trial, the prisoner is so arrogant, if the trial is really held as he wants, the majesty of his criminal department is gone?

This guy said with a gun and a stick that His Majesty didn't come to see the killing stick of the Three Law Divisions, and his heart can be punished!

"Your Majesty." He stood up and pleaded, "If the prisoner is unruly, if he is forced to kneel to hear the trial, he will be frightened ......."

"The fire of the Nichimen didn't startle me." Zhu Houxi said blandly, "How it should be tried, how it should be tried." ”

The ground thundered, and Yang Tinghe finally changed his face.

It seems that if he just said that he should be punished, the Son of Heaven would not be afraid.

So what are you talking about the Nissemon thing?

Jiang Bin's gaze suddenly sharpened a lot, and he glanced directly at Zhu Houxi.

It wasn't the eyes of a fifteen-year-old.

"The fire of the Nissei Gate...... Hehe. Jiang Bin, who had just heard about this, sighed in a low voice, then moved his feet and knelt down, "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and you still don't bother the big secretary, just ask." ”

Zhang Zilin sat down with a calm face.

If the emperor wasn't here, the water and fire sticks would have been hailed up a long time ago. has no official status, how dare you not kneel in court to hear the trial?

But now, it's not good to forcibly kill him.

He looked down at the file on the case in front of him, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Bin: "Yesterday, you confessed that Liang Ciyi, the son of the scholar Liang Chu, once led the army of his headquarters to slaughter more than 200 people from the Yang family and his neighbors because he was fighting for land and property with Yang Duan, a wealthy merchant in Nanhai County. You once accepted a bribe of 5,000 taels from Liang Chu to help him cover up the case, and Liang Cihui was only sentenced to be a military frontier. Yes and no? ”

"Yes." Jiang Bin smiled and looked at Liang Chu, "Elder Liang Ge, yes or no?" ”

Among the ministers, Liang Chu's eyes were gloomy, and he pinched the words in his sleeve.

Zhu Houxi's face was still calm.

"You also confessed that when Tang Majiu rebelled, the chief military officer you recommended was a gift of 47 good mansions to Wang Qiong, the secretary of the military department at the time, and this merit was fulfilled as he wished. He has not yet been brought to justice for the crime of killing good and risking meritorious service, yes and no? ”

"Yes. A certain person said that the person who is about to die knows everything, and the big priest boldly asked. Yesterday's words are true, ask something new. ”

Among the ministers, Wang Qiong didn't dare to look at Zhu Houxi's face, and there was an earl of Wufu who was sitting on pins and needles.

Zhu Houxi's face was still calm.

The two living officials also kept listening, and Yan Song looked at Zhu Houxi worriedly.

Dare to present it in front of the emperor, dare to ask it again in person, I am afraid that it is indeed conclusive evidence.

If Prince Liang, Wang Qiong and more people are convicted for this, the officials of Zhishi and the degraded officials will be degraded, and the court in Beijing will be unstoppable to gather Yang Tinghe.

Zhang Zilin took a deep breath, stood up again and saluted Zhu Houxi: "Your Majesty, if the minister continues to interrogate, it is time to ask the colleagues involved in the case to refute and present evidence." ”

Zhu Houxi's face was still calm.

He nodded: "Isn't it all here?" I have said that I will judge how I should judge. ”
