In the imperial court laws of all dynasties, as long as they are arrested in the prison of the Yamen, they are suspected criminals, and there is no provision that the punishment is not allowed during the trial.

On the contrary, during the trial of the case, the sentence must be moved.

Who will obediently confess their crimes if they are not punished?

There is only a difference between the use of a large punishment and the use of an ordinary punishment.

He had never heard of these trial procedures mentioned by the prince.

This is the essence of the criminal procedure law of later generations, and Yuan Zhi moved it here and turned it into a nonsense content.

Zhu Yunshan looked flustered, his eyes rolling slightly.

But he did not dare to refute the prince's unfounded views in public, saying that it did not conform to the conventional interpretation of the current imperial court's criminal law.

He had no choice but to shirk responsibility.

"Your Highness, Weichen is only doing things under orders."

"Ordered to do something? Whose orders have you served? Who told you to carry a few boxes of silver to the historian, and then pointed to the deer as a horse, saying that it was the stolen silver you found, and the evidence of the crime? ”

This answer is right in the heart of the crown prince.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yunshan realized that he had fallen into passivity, and his face immediately turned pale.

"The prince is wronged, this is nothing..."

He loudly denied it.

It is impossible to admit this kind of thing, otherwise it will all collapse.

"If people don't know what to do, can you still cover up such a big movement?"

The crown prince sneered:

"Come on, help Master Shi out, Chuantai Hospital will send the imperial doctor to treat his injuries immediately, and then take off this scum of the criminal department who does not repent of his death, has no national law, and despises the imperial power, takes off his black yarn crown and hat, and puts him in prison!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wulang and several other Qianniuwei behind him made a move.

Zhu Yunshan's official hat was ended, and he suddenly became disheveled, and his body was left and right by Qianniuwei, and he couldn't move at all.

He was so frightened that he almost urinated, and struggled and cried:

"Your Highness spares your life, Your Highness spares your life!"

"Spare your life? Not only do you want to rectify you today, but the entire criminal department, you scum who disobey the law of the country and trample on the laws of the country, one is counted as one, and all of them have been settled! ”

The crown prince was furious, and his unofficial remarks that seemed to be in the tone of the rivers and lakes made all the prison officials present turn pale with fright.

Zhu Yunshan still wanted to ask for mercy, but was picked up by two Qianniu guards and thrown into the cell.

The filthy cell was full of stinky water and filth, and the pampered Zhu Yunshan screamed in despair.

He didn't care about his image as a third-grade official, crawled to the edge of the cell with his hair disheveled, grabbed the iron pillar with both hands and cried to the prince:

"Your Highness, Wechen is wronged, Wechen is just acting on orders, such a harsh punishment all falls on Wechen, Wechen is not convinced!"

With Zhu Yunshan as a model, he was afraid that he would become the next jailer to suffer

They knelt on the ground and shouted:

"I beg Your Highness to be gracious."

The prince didn't pay attention to these chatters at all, but stared at the important people who were locked up inside and begging for mercy.

"Zhu Yunshan, you tell me honestly, who instructed you to frame Master Shi and use the big punishment, say it quickly?"

Zhu Yunshan's face was pale, and he had long lost his arrogance in the past.

Facing the prince's cold and majestic blazing gaze, he had a sense of despair that the end was coming.

He naturally understood in his heart that in the battle between the East Palace camp and the former cabinet ministers, he was just a chess piece, and he could be abandoned at any time.

At the beginning, I listened to Shang Shuqian's brave demagogy, coupled with a huge amount of money promises, and also thought that the young prince did not understand the law and should be easy to deal with.

Unexpectedly, the prince not only reacts sensitively and quickly, but also uses unwarranted neologisms with ease.

I got into his trap in a daze, and I couldn't extricate myself.

Now the prince not only fished out Shi Shenyi, but also beat him upside down, preparing to clean up the dissidents in the criminal department.

In that case, can you still hide from it?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunshan was suddenly ready to let go.

Anyway, it's a mortal end, so why bother with promises?

"His Royal Highness the Prince, these little people such as me have always been ordered to run errands, and they have become scapegoats or outcasts afterwards, Your Highness should know this."

"Then you didn't dare to do anything to the cabinet of the five ministers, but you came to oppress me and others, is this the majesty of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Zhu Yunshan's words were like a thunderbolt, and the rumbling surroundings became silent.

Even the screams, moans, and begs for mercy from the other cells disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was shocked.

This right waiter of the criminal department, I'm afraid he's crazy?

Dare to confront the prince of the prison country in public, which is a great disrespect.

What a capital offense!

Ding Jiu's eyes sank, he raised his hand and pinched Zhu Yunshan's neck, and said sharply:

"You rebellious ministers and thieves, you dare to talk nonsense and disrespect Your Highness, and you will be abolished."

His throat was choked, and Zhu Yunshan only felt that it was difficult to breathe.

He didn't resist or struggle, wishing that Ding Jiu would use a little force, and he would be able to do it himself, so as not to involve more people and his family.

Ding Jiu is not stupid, he is fighting back against the other party's confrontation with the prince, mainly to destroy his prestige.

And life and death are in the hands of the crown prince.

Looking at Zhu Yunshan, whose face was gradually turning purple and blue, the prince waved his hand, "Let him go." ”

As soon as Ding Jiu let go, Zhu Yunshan collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.

He clutched his throat with his hands and stroked it, and lay on the ground gasping for air like a dead fish.

"Zhu Yunshan, raise your head."

The prince's cold words reached his ears.

After relieving himself, Zhu Yunshan slowly looked up at the prince.

"You think it's a chess piece, that's not wrong, everyone is a chess piece in this big chess game, but whether you become an outcast depends on your own creation."

"The party fights and the palace fight, all dynasties have existed, of course, the final Jin Empire can't be put aside, this time it is indeed the old department of the five-phase cabinet, but do you think that the lonely and criminal department, clean up the unconscious officials who are engaged in private fraud, is just because of the power struggle?"

The prince asked with a ruling philosophy, and Zhu Yunshan sneered and said:

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not."

The prince's eyes were blazing, "You can't help but underestimate this prince too much." The criminal department is to enforce the laws of the imperial court, representing the face of the imperial king's law. ”

"What is the king's law?"

"But all the land areas of the Final Jin Dynasty are all my Final Jin subjects, and they are all subject to the imperial court

The law governs, and the law is to make the behavior of the majority of subjects have a basis to follow, there is a law to follow, and mistakes must be punished. ”

"The law of the state is the cornerstone of the rule of evil, and if this cornerstone is chaotic and becomes reversed, when right and wrong are not distinguished, and the subjects no longer have the fear of the law, then the great chaos of the country is coming, and the age of lawlessness has arrived!"

"And you, a right attendant of the Criminal Department! It is the third person in charge of the law and punishment in the Empire of the Ultimate Jin Dynasty, but what you have done is to frame the second-grade officials of the empire without any scruples, and if you want to arrest them, you will be beaten, and you will be beaten if you want to, which is called lawlessness. ”
