The news that Murong Shen was captured spread to the Jiaofang Palace.

Queen Su had tears in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth rose: "Okay! That's great! Finally caught him! Tomorrow, I will interrogate and convict him in the court of the Criminal Department, and I will cut him with a thousand knives before I can solve the hatred in the heart of this palace."

"Fu Zi, this palace will go to the criminal department court in person tomorrow."

Fu Zi was stunned for a moment, and quickly comforted: "The court is the bloodiest, the queen should not go."

Empress Su insisted: "No, this palace is going to go. Hongu wants to see this wolf-hearted traitor with his own eyes!"

Although Emperor Yongming was mediocre, he believed in Murong Yao's father and son very seriously. Especially Murong Shen, who works on errands in front of the emperor every day, can be said to be Emperor Yongming's henchman.

It was him, who secretly plotted rebellion and rebellion, secretly instructed Murong Yan to harm the prince, hooked up with the prince of Yingchuan, and led the troops to force the palace. As an emperor, Emperor Yongming died so miserably in the end, most of which was "attributed" to Murong Shen.

As soon as Empress Su thought of Murong Shen, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and her eyes were dripping blood.

She wanted to see in person how Murong Shen died.

Seeing that Queen Su was so excited, Fu Zi knew that she couldn't persuade her master, so she didn't persuade her. After Queen Su fell asleep, Fu Zi quietly sent a message to the Beihai Palace.

Just after the fifth watch of the next day, Xu Jing, the prince of Beihai, entered the palace: "I will accompany Niangniang to the lobby of the criminal department."

Empress Su frowned and turned her head to look at Fu Zi: "You sent a letter to Chunsheng?"

Fu Zi replied in a low voice: "Yes, the slave maid thought, Niang Niang is going to the punishment department, and there must be someone by her side. Therefore the slave and maid had the courage to send a message to the prince."

"It's really inconvenient for Niangniang to go alone, I'll go with Niangniang." Xu Jing took over the conversation slipperily.

Empress Su did not refuse again.

It is not a trivial matter for the queen to leave the palace, but if she puts on a full guard of honor, it will really take time and manpower.

Xu Jing made the decision and reduced the honor guard by half. Rao is like this, there are soldiers in front of him to open the way, there are palace people in front and behind, and there are pro-soldiers in the back, and the battle is mighty.

Xu Jing rode his horse and followed the carriage unhurriedly.

Out of the palace, on the royal street, soon arrived at the yamen of the criminal department. The yamen of the six departments of the imperial court are all located on both sides of the imperial road near the palace.

Today, the Criminal Department opened a court to interrogate the traitor Murong Shen, and the officials of the other five departments came to come. Those with lower official positions can only stand outside the public court and watch the excitement, and they are not even qualified to enter the public court.

When Xu Jing helped Queen Su to show up, all the ministers knelt down and shouted, "The ministers have seen the queen's mother and the prince."

The enthronement ceremony was not held for a day, and Xu Jing refused to call himself the Son of Heaven for a day. The ministers still call His Royal Highness. However, their reverence for His Royal Highness is clearly visible.

Empress Su said softly: "All Aiqing are flat, this palace came today to see Murong rebels. It does not interfere with how the conviction is questioned."

The newly appointed Shangshu of the Criminal Department secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The court acts with its own laws. Murong prudently plotted rebellion, death must be dead, it just depends on how to die. It's good that Queen Su doesn't mean to meddle in politics.

As for Xu Jing, the new emperor who has not yet officially ascended the throne, did not interfere with the trial of the Criminal Department. He helped Empress Su to sit on the chair on the left side of the court, and the middle position was reserved for the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department gave up his hand with some trepidation: "With the queen mother and the prince here, how dare the minister make a mistake."

Xu Jing said softly: "This is the official court of the Criminal Department, and you are the official of the Criminal Department. Today, you will preside over the trial, and my mother and I can just observe. You don't have to worry about anything."

Shangshu of the Criminal Department gave up his hand, quietly turned his head and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and sat down tremblingly. Then he slapped the waking wood, and there was a bang: "Come on, take Murong traitor to the court."

On the fourth watch, Murong Shen was escorted to the Criminal Department.

At this time, Murong Shen was escorted from the prison to the court by several officials of the Criminal Department. He was unable to move, and was dragged up alive, and the scars on his body, which had already bloomed, were torn again, and his clothes were mottled with blood. A face twisted and hideous with pain.

Of course, no one sympathized with Murong Shen.

Eligible

The ministers who were sitting in the public hall and listening looked at each other angrily, gritting their teeth with hatred, and wishing that Murong Shen would die immediately.

Murong Shen was twisted to his knees.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department slapped the wood again, and asked angrily in a deep voice, "Murong Shen, as the former captain of the Imperial Palace, you have won the trust of the Son of Heaven. You don't want to repay the emperor's kindness, and privately collude with Xu Yi, the prince of Yingchuan, to force the palace to rebel. Killed countless Praetorian guards loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty, and the sins are heavy, do you admit it?"

Murong Shen raised his head with great effort, and spat at Shangshu of the Punishment Department: "Phew! If you want to kill or chop, just come! Why should I confess my sins?"

"What has Emperor Yongming done since he ascended the throne? He instructed the people to build the imperial mausoleum, regardless of the life and death of the people, the Great Jin Dynasty was full of disasters and wars, and he enjoyed himself wantonly in the palace. He doesn't deserve to be the Son of Heaven at all!"

"Back then, the Xu family was also a rebel family, and they took the dragon chair that the world sat on. Why can't I, Murong Shen, take over the world?"

"If I succeed that day, now you all have to kneel at my feet and shout long live the Emperor. Will you all die for the faint king?"

Then he burst out laughing maniacally.

The face of the criminal department Shangshu was dark.

The faces of the ministers who were watching were also very ugly.

I have to say that this remark hurt the hearts and lungs of the ministers. In the past few years, who hasn't scolded the Son of Heaven for being mediocre and immoral in private? On that day, Emperor Yongming died, and everyone was sad and sad, so why didn't they secretly breathe a sigh of relief?

Xu Jing glanced at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "Murong is a traitor who is dying, and he dares to make a big statement. Li Shangshu doesn't have to be polite to him."

Shangshu of the Criminal Department reacted quickly, and ordered sharply: "Murong traitor is disrespectful, insulting the first emperor, come and slap his mouth."

Immediately a sturdy servant stepped forward and struck twenty times with a thick plank in his hand.

After the twenty boards were played, Murong Shen's mouth was full of blood and he spit out a few teeth. The flesh and skin on his face were swollen, and he could no longer open his mouth.

It's really relieving of anger and hatred.

Queen Su saw it in her eyes and felt very happy. She didn't make a sound, only turned her head to look at Xu Jing. Xu Jing comprehended and said to Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "Li Shangshu continues to interrogate!"

The criminal department continued to interrogate.

Murong Shen didn't have the strength to answer that it didn't matter, after reading out the guilt, wait for the clerk to finish recording it, and let Murong Shen press a handprint.

Of course, Murong Shen refused to press the handprint. This is not difficult for the officials. They squeezed Murong Shen's right hand hard, and with a click, Murong Shen's right wrist was pinched off.

Murong Shen almost fainted in pain, and he couldn't help but press his handprint.

After the interrogation process was completed, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department said loudly: "Murong Shen conspired against the crime, and the crime is unforgivable. According to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, if the execution is convicted, the death penalty shall be Ling Chi. Tomorrow's execution!"
