Chapter 326: Vulnerability patches, dangers
After all, the prince's side was in a hurry, and there were naturally many loopholes, and he met the experienced Yang Du, a senior torture expert in the dynasty, and Cao Kesheng, who could be refuted casually, was speechless.
His old spiciness, also lies in the fact that he does not attack the prince on the matter, but bites Cao Kesheng tightly.
This made the prince unable to exert himself, and the pressure was all transferred to Cao Kesheng.
Yang Du knew in his heart that if it could be proved that the Dunhuang Zhang clan's rebellion was not established, then Zhao Wang Yuanluo would be fine.
And Cao Kesheng, who destroyed the Dunhuang family, was in big trouble.
Since it was a public trial in the court, it was impossible for the prince to take refuge.
"Yang Xiang has doubts about determining the guilt of the Zhang family?"
Yuan Zhi stared at Yang Du indifferently and asked knowingly.
Cao Kesheng's secret order to destroy the Zhang clan in Dunhuang was issued by him personally.
The Zhang family has long been hooked up with the rebel horse bandits, although they did not make direct moves, but they secretly supported the rebels in terms of money and materials for a long time.
Of course, this evidence is simply not likely to remain.
And this time, the Zhang father and son went to Beijing to meet the prince, just to make a last effort, once the imperial court could not meet their requirements, they returned to Dunhuang and they openly rebelled.
The prince actually came to strike first.
Of course, this disposition must not follow the normal legal procedures.
But now it's Yang Du who bites and doesn't let go, and this matter is a little troublesome and very passive.
Yang Du didn't give Cao Kesheng a chance to breathe, only to see him arch his hand towards Yuan Zhi again, and said in a deep voice:
"Back to His Royal Highness, this is not the old minister's nitpicking, but the case itself is full of suspicions, thousands of adults, ten thousand adults, you two are masters of criminal investigation and review of cases, the old man took the liberty to ask, if you colluded with traitors in handling major cases over the years, would you leave ironclad evidence such as letters at home?"
Shang Shuqian of the Criminal Department bravely came out of the ranks first and said:
"Back to Yang Xiang's words, the investigation of major cases has been extremely difficult in recent years, but an abnormal situation like Zhang's has never been encountered. A person with a little brain will inevitably not be able to leave such evidence as a letter to give people a handle. ”
"After all, once it is discovered, it is a great crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan, how can a person who has the courage to commit such a crime be so stupid?"
"Yes, not only is it difficult to solve the case, but the trial is also like this, most of the criminals are cunning rabbits, and they do everything possible to destroy the evidence of their guilt, and it is impossible to be stupid enough to keep the evidence by themselves, what is the difference between this and digging your own grave?"
Dali Temple Qing Wan Daoguang followed closely and added.
“???”
Qian Fenyong, Wan Daoguang and Yang Du sang and harmonized, bringing the rhythm of the whole thing to the direction they wanted.
Yuan Zhi sat at the top, expressionless.
At this time, it was inconvenient for him to go down to interfere in person.
Once the crown prince comes forward, there will be no way out and room for maneuver.
This pot can only be carried by Cao Kesheng.
Of course, Cao Kesheng knew that the prince couldn't make a move at this time, and now he could only fight back against Yang Du and the others.
But the current situation is very unfavorable for him.
His Royal Highness's officials were all driven by Yang Du, thinking that Cao Kesheng was abusing his power and deliberately exaggerating.
If ordinary officials were accused by Yang Du, they would have already been confused.
But Cao Kesheng is not an idle person, and his on-the-spot adaptability is relatively strong.
I saw him pause slightly, first arched his hand towards the upper position, and then said in a deep voice:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen thinks that Yang Xiang and the two adults of Qian and Wan said... It's purely taking off your pants and farting! ”
As soon as this rude and rude insult came out, it immediately caused a commotion.
Everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Cao Kesheng with condemnation.
King Zhao also thought that Cao Kesheng was hit by Yang Du, and in anger, he insulted the first-class master of the dynasty regardless of decency.
Hehe, the donkey skills are exhausted.
The corners of Yuan Luo's mouth pulled up a smug cold arc, and swept towards Cao Kesheng with his eyes like a madman.
Yang Du has been a courtier for decades, including Emperor Jiye, and has never insulted him in court.
The prince did not insult him in public.
Today, Cao Kesheng is the first of the kind.
Unexpectedly, Cao Kesheng still had a calm face.
His invective is deliberate, setting the momentum and rhythm for his argument later.
Next, he wants to tell you about an absolutely unusual Zhang family.
"Everyone knows that normal people will definitely not leave such criminal evidence as letters, but who knows that this Dunhuang Zhang is not a normal person? They are very arrogant and invincible in the local area, and in hundreds of years of family history, there has not been a government yamen who will lead troops to forcibly search Zhang's mansion. ”
"Therefore, Zhang Chong, the patriarch of the Zhang family, was unable to discipline the dynasty and dared to openly argue with the imperial court, and sent the young patriarch Zhang Bao a few years ago to return to Beijing with Ji Yi, the general of the Eagle Yang of the secret guard, to negotiate with the prince, in an attempt to force the new regime to agree to his unreasonable demands, and was sternly rejected by His Royal Highness the prince."
"Years later, Zhang Chong came to the capital again in the name of sending the prince's wedding gift, and before leaving Dunhuang, he threatened that if the imperial court did not agree this time, he would return to Dunhuang against him, and unanimously demanded the autonomy of Guazhou."
"What kind of crime is collusion with the rebels? That is a heinous crime of rebellion and rebellion, and the punishment of the nine clans! ”
"Today's Manchu Dynasty is a gathering of the elites of my final Jin Empire, and the top talents are here, do you dare to rebel? Don't dare, but the Zhang family dare, and with this, you can't treat the Zhang family as normal. ”
In addition to the letters of collusion with the rebels, Zhang Chong's eyewitness witness when he threatened to rebel
people, there are several witnesses, and several other nobles can testify, that one
Thousands of sergeants on the scene can also testify. ”
"It doesn't matter whether the Zhang family is rebelling or not, at least it is a fact for all to attack the government with weapons, this is already a capital crime, and if the lower officials do not destroy the Zhang family on the spot, are they waiting for them to kill the lower officials?"
"The lower officials are soft-spoken, and it is not a pity to die, but the lower officials are the officials of the imperial court, and they should die in the society and the country, and they must not die in the hands of the chaotic ministers and thieves, so the humiliation is the prestige of my final Jin dynasty!"
Cao Kesheng's long speech, rigorous logical reasoning, every word is loud.
His argument is that the Zhang family itself is not a normal person, arrogant, and has no court.
Therefore, it cannot be deduced from normal thinking and logic.
Cao Kesheng stood proudly on top of the hall and said loudly:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if the imperial court has any doubts about this case, it can be re-examined, and the lower officials are willing to fully cooperate."
The prince was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help nodding yes.
Cao Kesheng is really a talent, and he didn't see the wrong person.
These words are reasonable, and people can't find any handles and loopholes to handle.
Yuan Zhi glanced at Yang Du coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Yang Xiang, do you still have questions now?" ”
