Chapter 30: Are You Sure You Want to Intercede for Him?
On the Taiji Palace, Feng Deyi hugged his son's corpse and cried, and the officials of the Feng family rushed to hear the news, most of them were from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, but there was no one in the Criminal Department, only the waiter of the Criminal Department on duty, standing awkwardly awkwardly.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has been loyal to the country all his life, and he has a white-haired man to send a black-haired man. Even if my son is not in a thousand ways, there are national laws and family rules, and he should not be tortured and killed by him Xiao Rui on the street, and he is ridiculed and insulted by people like this. The old minister begs His Majesty to call the shots! ”
Well...... Li Er's eyebrows lowered, he was silent for a moment, looked at Xiao Rui and asked, "Xiao Rui, what do you say?" ”
Xiao Rui spread his hands, turned his head and swept over the civil and military officials, and said loudly: "That's right, I killed the person!" Are you sure you want to intercede for him? ”
You......
Arrogant boy, the hall was instantly noisy, and countless people pointed at Xiao Rui.
Li Er still asked calmly, "Why did you kill someone?" ”
"Because he's damned!" Xiao Rui snorted coldly, unconcealed the disdain in his heart, and looked at the Feng family's father and son.
Wang Si, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and shouted angrily: "How can this be reasonable? Who do you think you are in broad daylight? Kill people on the street, kill if you want to? What you are wearing, but the official robe of the Tang Dynasty, don't I have the royal law in the Tang Dynasty? ”
Xiao Rui didn't even glance at the other party, and sneered: "Kill the people who should be killed, save the people who should be saved, this is what I think is the royal law." As for the royal law of the Tang Dynasty? Hehe, a few days ago, on behalf of Yushitai, I participated in the Feng family father and son, and put on conclusive evidence, but what was the result? Disappear off the face of the earth. Dare to ask, at that time and moment, where is the law of the Tang Dynasty? ”
"Arrogant erector, according to what you said, the entire court is a stupid person, and there is no heavenly reason? Your Majesty, the minister impeached Yu Shi Tai Xiao Yu Shi, rebellious, rebellious, and arrogant about the court! The Ministry of Rites shouted loudly.
Wei Zheng coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Yushi, the words are serious. Just talk about the facts, but everyone knows that it takes a certain amount of time for Datang to investigate and convict the case. ”
Li Er looked at the stubborn Xiao Rui, and cried out in his heart, this son-in-law is really strange-tempered, as soon as you come up, you will offend the entire court, and I won't have time to wipe your ass.
At this time, the eldest princess of Huainan cried: "Brother Huang, please call the shots for me, my horse was killed by such a rebellious child on the street......"
The woman's crying and crying, Xiao Rui was the most upset, interrupted the other party and said: "Okay, what kind of goods is that letter, I am removing a harm for you, you should be happy." ”
"Bastard! Xiao Rui, you already have a marriage contract with Xiangcheng, so Huainan is also your aunt, how can you be so rude? Li Er reprimanded.
"Auntie? The courtier's sister doesn't have this blessing, so she only asks the royal brother to investigate the murderer strictly and give me justice! The eldest princess of Huainan knelt down on the spot.
Li Er sighed and said: "Xiao Rui, you don't understand the rules when you first enter the court, and everyone won't care about you, but if you kill someone on the street, if you can't tell the cause and effect, I can only do business in accordance with the laws of the country, and I won't be lenient with you just because you are young." ”
Here, Wei Zheng's eyes rolled sharply, and he was thinking about coming forward, letting people show the evidence, and confirming the guilt of Feng Yandao, but Xiao Rui was faster than him, "Let me explain?" I'm just doing the right thing for heaven and killing a damned person. If you really want to explain, Your Majesty, why don't you ask the relevant people to talk about it? ”
"It's fine." The emperor nodded in agreement, and all the ministers understood that the emperor was openly favoring his son-in-law, and he did not help the old minister Feng Deyi today.
Xiao Rui walked out of the main hall and beckoned a group of bitter masters and witnesses to come in.
"Let me introduce, these are all people from the drunken flower shop in the west city of Chang'an City, the drunken flower shop is an industry that is open to the truth, and it has been found that it is a place to sell stolen goods. And this group of girls was originally women from good families, just because ......"
"How can it be!" A five-grade official from the Ministry of Officials stood up and scolded: "The law of the Tang Dynasty, sinners, maidservants, and slaves are not qualified to testify, and what a group of lowly people say cannot be trusted!" Xiao Yushi, are you going to use their testimony? Don't you know that they may be holding a grudge and deliberately taking revenge on their master? ”
"Hey! This imperial history hasn't finished yet, is it polite to interrupt others? Xiao Rui complained dissatisfiedly.
The other party was choked lightly, disdained to argue, and retreated. But the effect has been achieved, and everyone has seized on this and the discussion has begun.
Xiao Rui jokingly said to the eldest princess of Huainan: "Your Royal Highness, your good concubine said that you have opened a kiln to raise these slaves and maids privately, do you know this situation?" ”
Well? You, I......
The eldest princess of Huainan is not light, this Xiao Rui is too shameless, if I say that I know, wouldn't I connive at the concubine? Saying that you don't know, isn't it a slap in the face? The pony fooling around outside will be a loss of the princess's face after all.
"Hmph, it's not surprising that the colt is an idle job, and occasionally runs a storefront wine shop." The eldest princess forced herself to defend herself.
Xiao Rui laughed and grabbed the manager of the Drunken Flower Workshop, "You, tell everyone, what was he doing when I caught Feng Yandao?" ”
"I, I ......"
Well? Dare not say it? Xiao Rui glared fiercely.
"I said, I said, he's talking to the next Oiran flower fairy in the workshop, in, in...... Bed love! ”
Heh, still a gentleman? Knowing the joy of using a bed, Xiao Rui smiled mockingly.
"The secret kingdom is crowned Deyi? Hear me clearly, I didn't pick up your son's clothes, he didn't wear them at all. ”
You, you...... Feng Deyi almost fainted.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I don't know the laws of the Tang Dynasty, are you allowed to take concubines? What about keeping prostitutes? Such a colt? Do you want it? Isn't it good for me to help you clean up the portal? ”
You, you...... Brother Huang, will you let this little child run rampant? The eldest princess turned to the emperor for help.
Li Er coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Rui, ask about the case, don't talk nonsense." ”
Xiao Rui nodded, pointing to the women kneeling on the ground, "Don't care what identity you are or not, in front of the Son of Heaven, as long as you are born in Datang and eat Datang's food, that is my Datang people, tell your experience one by one to the officials and masters." ”
Looking at Xiao Rui's eyes of encouragement, a bold woman finally spoke, "The little woman's original name is Xu Hongying, and she lives in Wannian County......
"The little girl's real name is Wei Xiaofang, she lives in Chang'an County, runs a rouge gouache shop, and was kidnapped by Feng Yandao that day......"
……
Seven or eight women complained one by one, the entire Taiji Hall was silent, and the emperor's face became more and more gloomy. Listening to Feng Yandao, after doing one tragic case after another, no one dared to say anything about the fact that the witnesses were not good, the testimony was invalid, and so on.
When everyone finished speaking, Xiao Rui kicked the steward, "This is the first dog leg under Feng Yandao, and he will do all the bad things with him." Tell everyone, are all these people telling the truth? ”
The steward had already been so frightened that the three souls went to the two souls, kowtowed like pounding garlic and shouted: "It's all true, I know it's wrong, it's really not what I want to do, it's all my master's idea......"
Dog slave! When Feng Deyi heard this, he vomited blood on the spot and fell into a coma.
Xiao Rui stepped forward with a sneer, pinching the old guy's people, and it took a few breaths to wake up the other party.
"Feng Deyi, don't be in a hurry to pretend to be dead, after listening to it, you gave birth to such a good son, which is enough to comfort your ancestors and shine for ten thousand years, right?"
…… It's so ruthless, it's murderous! Is this kid really Xiao Yu's son? How old is he? This method is not worse than Feng Yandao.
"You, you...... The dog has been killed by you, how can you smear his innocence? Feng Deyi no longer mentions shouting grievances, and his heart is extremely empty.
Xiao Rui laughed, laughed wildly, the laughter penetrated the entire Taiji Hall, waved his sleeves and pointed at the several women kneeling on the ground, and asked loudly: "You come to tell everyone, should you kill Feng Yandao?" ”
The woman named Wei Xiaofang shouted: "Kill, he harmed my whole family and ruined everything for me, I can't wait to eat his flesh and blood raw!" ”
"He deserves to die, just die, it's too cheap for him, and he can't get rid of his hatred after killing him a thousand times......"
……
Good fellow, sentence by sentence, with hatred in his voice, all the officials in the court were silent, or rather, for the first time, they faced the anger of the people so directly. The eldest princess of Huainan also looked like ashes, and suddenly felt that she seemed to have made a wrong decision today.
