On November 23, the three legal divisions will be tried. Yao Kui, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, represented the Criminal Department, Wang Wen, the Imperial History of the Left Capital, represented the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Xiao Weizhen represented the Dali Temple, and tried Zhao Caixing, Xiao Bao and others.

Due to the fact that the matter involved Emperor Gongrang, Zhu Qiyu appointed many people to attend and supervise, including Da Zongzheng, Zhu Wengui, the king of Dongwu County, the three princes in Beijing, Xue Huan, the commander of the horses, Wei Ji, the secretary of the household department, He Wenyuan, the secretary of the ministry, and others. In short, there are highly respected representatives in all aspects.

In addition, the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Court opened its doors so that anyone could go to the courtyard outside the main hall to observe and observe the trial to ensure the fairness of the trial.

A large group of civil and military officials and magnates in Beijing came uninvited, crowding the courtyard to the brim, and the people had to watch outside the courtyard. Soon, some people took the lead and simply climbed the wall, but Wang Wen and the others didn't bother to care.

Zhao Caixing, Xiao Bao and others were 'fine' when they were transferred from Jinyiwei Prison to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, at least they showed no signs of torture on the outside.

Zhu Qiyu is bent on turning this case into an uncontroversial iron case, as the first half of the entire process of abolishing the emperor, so as to save some people from saying that I framed and framed Emperor Gongrang.

Under the 'friendly' interrogation of Jinyi Wei Lu Gao, Lu Zhong and others, Zhao Caixing, Xiao Bao and others had already been recruited in the Imperial Prison, and their confessions were clearly recorded, and their signatures and handprints were drawn, which was quite a lot.

When they were taken to the lobby of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhao Caixing, Xiao Bao and the others were already trembling. Zhao Caixing was just a foolish monk, and he was used by Xiao Bao, so he followed the ghost and played tricks.

It's okay to play house, and it's okay to play role-playing, but it's not good to play anything, you have to play the emperor.

Wang Wen waved his hand, and the subordinate officials took the evidence to the court, two puppets used by the witch of Wei Town, one was engraved with the emperor's name and birthday, and the other was engraved with the name and birthday of Qi Shizi.

The evidence was first passed on to Zhu Wengui, who was in charge of the sect's personnel and identified it as the emperor and Qi Shizi's birthday, and then passed it to the British Duke and others for inspection.

Everyone looked at the evidence, and they all shook their heads again and again, and the British Duke sighed: "I didn't expect this thing in Nightmare Town to be so powerful, and the body of the saint who is so alive and vigorous will faint in public under Nightmare Town, and he will not wake up."

And after taking out this doll and pulling out the silver needle piercing it, the saint woke up after a short time, and now he is already safe.

It can be seen how terrifying the scourge of witchcraft is. All the traitors involved in plotting rebellion and killing the king should be wiped out by the three tribes. ”

Before the chief of the three legal divisions could speak, the British public had already 'pronounced the death sentence'.

Everyone present could see that the British Duke was building momentum for the emperor.

But there is no way to refute it, because this is the puppet dug up by the internal official Ruan Boshan, and then the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Wucheng Terracotta Division went to Wanning Temple together. No one can buy so many yamen to falsify at the same time.

After that, it was Xiao Bao who explained the entire cause in detail.

When Xiao Bao directly pointed out that he was instructed by the emperor, it caused an uproar.

Liao Zhuang stood up angrily and asked, "You gelding dog Hugh is climbing and biting indiscriminately, did you ask the emperor to directly order you to do this?" ”

Xiao Bao shook his head: "The slave maid is just a small internal official, so naturally she is not qualified to be taught by the emperor in person."

It was the queen mother who said to the slave maid: 'You are so, and so, and then the emperor will control the guest, and then the crown prince will succeed to the throne, and the emperor will become the emperor again, and the chief regent of the military state.' You have made this great contribution, and the position of the celebrant and the eunuch of the East Factory is none other than you. ’

Seeing that the slave and maid hesitated, the queen mother said again: "Everything is under the control of the emperor, and when the emperor and the prince of Qi are gone, the emperor's other sons will obviously not be supported by the noble generals." Obviously, the crown prince's succession to the throne is the only choice, and it is even more straightforward to let the emperor be regent.

If it is any later, once the prince of Qi grows up, the emperor will inevitably change the crown prince. When the crown prince loses the position of prince, there will be no room for recovery.

Therefore, we must start first and cannot delay any longer. ’

The slave maid listened to the queen's mother, which was all instructed by the emperor, so she dared to take risks and do this difficult thing. ”

Liao Zhuang was greatly relieved when he heard this. After all, the words were said by Empress Zhou, as long as the emperor didn't know about it, it was Empress Zhou's beloved son, and she could fake Gong Rang's will to make the emperor.

The lobby of the Metropolitan Procuratorate soon fell into chaos, with each faction arguing once at a time.

But this time it was clearly the emperor's faction that prevailed in the debate.

After all, Zhao Caixing is indeed the emperor, and he has also named the queen, the crown prince, the two kings, the three kings, and the four kings. What's more, dozens of scoundrels were gathered to drink outside Chaoyangmen.

You can say that they are stupid to the point of outrageousness, but these are ironclad facts.

Because there are dozens of people involved, and there are no less than hundreds of witnesses, they want to forge the confessions of so many people at the same time, and collude with each other without any flaws, even the emperor himself can't do it, let alone other powerful people.

Xue Huan, the eldest princess of Changde, also stood up and made up for it: "Zhao Caixing's motive for becoming the emperor is that, as he confessed, he wants to use the so-called son of heaven as a descendant of Song Taizu, and cooperate with witchcraft and demon methods to suppress the son of heaven corresponding to the eight characters of the saint's birthday in the puppets of Weizhen."

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Zhao Caixing was stupid enough to rebel and become emperor, as long as you have a little brain, you know that his rebellion will not succeed at all, and once the incident happens, he will inevitably be sentenced to death.

And Zhao Caixing was originally a monk, a monk with a degree of proficiency in Beijing, none of them were illiterate Bai Ding, more or less they had read, how could they be so ignorant to such an unbelievable degree? ”

Xue Huan's inference, others really don't know how to refute it for a while.

At this point in the argument, Wang Wen ordered his subordinate officials to take a wooden box and explained to everyone: "After Xiao Bao killed the monarch and conspired against the defendant, Dongchang searched Chonghua Palace and found these things.

On the grounds of subsidizing the family as a female worker, Concubine Qian Lingfei sewed the letter written by Emperor Gongrang on Huang Mian into embroidery, and wanted to take it out of the palace, and then the cronies urgently delivered it to King Gongshun of Wara, King of Joseon, Jingyuanbo, Marquis of Ningyang and others.

This time, in the name of King Yi, he sent an envoy to Beijing to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and asked to marry his daughter to the crown prince as a side concubine.

Emperor Gongrang didn't want to agree, but after the Holy Emperor was shocked by the town, Emperor Gongrang changed his mind and was willing to accept his daughter as the crown prince's side concubine, and ordered him to lead a large army to the south to support the Beijing division in order to plot a strange plot.

There are also letters to Jing Yuanbo and Ningyang Hou, all of which advise them to go north and enter King Qinjing as soon as the holy dragon controls the guests.

The letters are all in this box, let the subordinate officers show them one by one. ”

"Let's come here."

The king of Dongwu County personally stepped forward, took out a piece of yellow silk, held it in front of him, and preached it to everyone. The British Gong, the Wei Guogong, and the concubine Xue Huan also had a sample, took other yellow silks, and toured the display.

After everyone in the hall saw it, they showed it to the officials and dignitaries in the courtyard.

This box of evidence was revealed, which can be regarded as having the effect of lore.

Gong let the emperor be different from today's son, and no one in the civil and military officials has ever seen the handwriting of today's son.

But Gong Rang Emperor's handwriting, as long as it is a minister who can put a little bit on the stage, he has basically seen it.

What Da Zongzheng, British Duke and others showed was really Gongrang Emperor's handwriting.

Even Liao Zhuang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who had always been bouncing, stopped talking.

Liu Dingzhi and other speakers of the East Palace approached and stared at Huang Juanzi carefully for a long time, and they were all dejected and silent.

There was no way, no one present stood up and said that these letters were forged, so it can be seen that this trace really can't be more real, what's the point of messing around again.

The next interrogation process was simple, Wang Wen, Yao Kui, and Xiao Weizhen completed the entire process under the supervision of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

Human witnesses, physical evidence, confessions, transcripts, and flowers are all good and well organized.

At this point, there is nothing to blame in the process of the whole case.

The prisoners were taken to the Metropolitan Procuratorate Prison, and Wang Wen, Yao Kui, and Xiao Weizhen took the file to Ganquan Palace to resume their lives.

As for Emperor Gongrang, Empress Zhou, and Concubine Qian Ling, it is not something that the three law divisions can interrogate.

Zhu Qiyu personally summoned Wang Wen and others, and then ordered the scholar to copy the dossier, and the original dossier was still brought back by Wang Wen and others, and it was strictly sealed and stored in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It is still the old rule, during special periods, the Yingzhou guards and Dongchang strictly guarded the Metropolitan Procuratorate to prevent the prisoners from being exterminated, and at the same time to prevent someone from burning the files.

It was not until the evening that Zhu Qiyu returned home, and several favorite concubines hurriedly surrounded him.

Lin Xiangyu asked: "Husband, have you verified it, and to what extent did Emperor Gong participate in this reverse case?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "In the witch Gu case, there is no evidence to show that Gong Rang is the emperor's envoy, and I believe that the eldest brother may not know."

However, after I fainted, a stupid woman really believed that it was the town of Nightmare that had worked, and informed the Emperor of her plan.

Emperor Gong asked the emperor to make a mistake, and really wrote to contact the king of Wara Gongshun, Jingyuanbo, and the Marquis of Ningyang, and agreed that once I died, I asked them to immediately lead a large army into King Qin.

Actually, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, I had another plan. But now things are obviously going a little more smoothly than I expected. ”
