The two officials smiled, and they already had the idea of concocting him in their hearts. The two took away the shackles and said, "Let's go, Chen Sanlang." ”

Chen Jingzhi went to the court with a few people, and immediately thought about how to get out in his heart. Judging from the news found out from several of them, the most important thing is not the murder, but the suspicion of his identity. Since he looked at Hu Qingheng's collection of books, he has also seen a lot of rumors.

In fact, people from outside the heavens often appear, and the gods and Dao palaces in this heaven and earth are very taboo, and once they appear, they are all hunted and killed. Chen Jingzhi came from outside the sky, in order to avoid being discovered by the gods, he did not have a cultivation on his body, but he thought that the most important thing to hide his identity should be the Great Yan God Xiaozhu.

Moreover, Chen Jingzhi established a deep causal relationship with Chen when he arrived here, which can also cover up his deeds and confuse cause and effect. But now he still has some worries, and if he is discovered, he will immediately retreat.

A moment later, when I arrived at the yamen, I could already hear the sound of conversation through the side door. Chen Jingzhi glanced up, according to the current system of the Song Kingdom, there is no distinction between punishment and punishment, investigation and trial are integrated, and general cases are the responsibility of the county inspection and criminal officials, unless it is a major case involving the government and government, otherwise the county order will not sit in court to try the case.

In the middle of the hall, a person dressed in a black official's uniform, with a scribe sitting on the left and right, and on either side stood eight tall officials, all of whom looked fierce. They had already learned that the official had brought Chen Jingzhi back under the notice of the janitor, and immediately summoned Yan Yuemei to the court.

In the long voice of "might~martial~", Chen Jingzhi walked in the present, his eyes were looking forward to Shenfei, although he was wearing a cloth shirt, it also made people feel that his appearance was different.

The torturer's name is Han Pump, his brows are tightly locked at this time, and after Chen Jingzhi enters the hall freely, he slapped the shocked wood hard, and shouted, "Is Chen Jingzhi in the hall?

"Don't you kneel down and answer?" A bad official in the hall slammed the killing rod on the floor hard, and when he touched it, he pointed at Chen Jingzhi and scolded.

The two clansmen of the Chen clan were stunned by this voice, their legs weakened, and they already knelt down. And the official who escorted Chen Jingzhi before was overjoyed in his heart, and glanced at Chen Jingzhi, ready to see how he made a fool of himself.

However, seeing the other party's expression, there was no panicked expression at all. The two of them couldn't help frowning, and even gritted their teeth a little.

Chen Jingzhi's eyes swept over the people in the hall, and the official in the hall shouted angrily again, "Don't kneel down yet?"

Chen Jingzhi bowed his hand and said in a straight voice, "The Great Song Dynasty has a saying, when hearing a lawsuit, check its stupidity, and those who have not tasted the government in the past must lead to the case, ask with a friendly face, and still prohibit the officials from being curbed." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and said with a cold smile, "Emperor Gaozu stipulated that the officials and the people should bow down, and dare to ask the torturer why he made me kneel and humiliate me?"

Han Pump couldn't help but be angry, the law of this dynasty does not stipulate that you must kneel down to hear the trial, but it has become a practice for hundreds of years, and over time, in addition to being famous, you must also kneel down in the official court. Not only Han Pump, but everyone in the hall changed their expressions at this time, with jokes and consternation.

Chen Jingzhi's expression was calm, and he sensed that there were two people behind this torture hall who were silently observing him, and one of them had extremely high mana, so he should be in the third realm. Moreover, he could feel that from the moment he stepped into this, a wave of mana enveloped him, and he was even more vigilant in his heart.

One of these two people wears an official hat, and it is Hu Mao, the chief secretary of Yanchuan County. He carefully observed Chen Jingzhi for a long time, and when he saw his handsome eyebrows and eyes, he couldn't help but nod his head secretly, and said in his heart, "It turns out that this son is Chen Jingzhi, and his appearance is extraordinary." ”

At this time, a middle-aged man with a neutral face and an elegant temperament beside Hu Mao, whose name was Xu Hanlu, said with a displeased face, "This son is so arrogant that he can't be indulged." ”

Hu Mao smiled slightly, "What the inspector said is extremely true, unruly, and difficult to use. "The person in front of him is the inspector under the county seat of Yanchuan Daogong, and he has a very high status, even if he is a county order, he doesn't want to offend. At that moment, he saw that Chen Jingzhi's gaze had also changed slightly, and he actually asked the Dao Palace to send an inspector to come, which showed that this matter was important.

The gods are in charge of the gods, enjoy the longevity of heaven and earth, and the gods of a place often set up adjutants such as Gong Cao and judges, who are all gods, but the gods can not easily participate in the affairs of the world, so they set up a Taoist palace to absorb people who can practice from all over the world, and also have different duties. For example, in the Yanchuan County Road Palace, there are left and right palm sacrifices, six patrol envoys, in addition to patrolling the royal lang, walking and other duties.

Hu Mao frowned slightly, and looked out quietly, the inspector of the Dao Palace came here, it depends on how Chen Jingzhi resolves it, if it is really an outsider, then he must be killed, otherwise there will be trouble.

Han Pump said angrily, "This kneeling is to make you worship the law and respect the law, aren't you disrespecting Tianwei like this?"

Chen Jingzhi's face was indifferent, and he said solemnly, "How dare you despise the power of heaven and disrespect the law?" It's just that the younger generation in the countryside, I don't know the etiquette, and if I am offended, please Haihan. ”

Han Pump twitched his face, his face was a little pale, if Chen Jingzhi spoke badly again, he would naturally have to teach him a lesson. At this time, since he took the initiative to give the steps, he naturally got off the donkey and sneered, "It seems that I still have to accept your affection." After speaking, he drank and said, "The existing plaintiff, the daughter of the Yan family in Miaozhu Village, accused you of killing her biological mother and taking her money, but is there such a thing?"

Chen Jingzhi didn't squint, and arched his hand, "This is a false statement, please ask the torturer to make a clear statement." ”

"Bold boy, the people in the hall have all the evidence, do you still want to deny it?" Han Pump asked loudly, "Chen Jingzhi, let's take a look at these confessions, they are all testified by people from your village, what else do you have to say?" After speaking, a messenger took the testimony down.

Chen Jingzhi glanced at it, sneered on his face, raised his head to look at the people in the hall, and said, "Can I ask them a clear question?"

Han Pump hesitated for a moment, and a voice came from his ear, and he immediately said, "Since you want to ask, ask quickly." ”

Chen Jingzhi thanked him, turned around, and glanced at Yan Yuemei and the two middle-aged people behind her, the latter two of whom were from the Chen clan. Between their gazes, both of the Chen family shrank back, only Yan Yuemei straightened up in her eyes, her body trembled slightly, and a pair of eyes seemed to reveal a cold light.

"Do the two clansmen know the consequences of perjury?" Chen Jingzhi asked, the two trembled, they had never been to the court, and they only agreed to testify after getting Yan Yuemei's silver money. Chen Jingzhi did not wait for the two to answer, and said, "Perjury, or cane or prison, if you get money from it, you will be punished severely, and you will be sitting." With this stain, future generations will not be allowed to advance in the imperial examination. ”

"Shut up, Chen Sanlang, why are you so rebellious, and you are still threatening and intimidating in the torture hall?" Yan Yuemei suddenly shouted screaming, and was about to stand up.

Chen Jingzhi said with a smile, "Since Yan Niangzi has arrived at the court, she naturally cares about her face, no wonder she dares to roar at the court, but the torturer has not stopped me from questioning, Yan Niangzi hurriedly stopped, is it a thief?" ”

Han Pump snorted coldly and said, "Yan Xiu wants to come here, I think you are a woman, and you can still be forgiven." ”

Chen Jingzhi said, "These two are my clan relatives, and there are people in the family who are studying, if I don't make it clear to the two clan relatives, resulting in the clan relatives not being able to participate in the imperial examination, it will be my sin." ”

After speaking, he shouted, "Yan Yuemei, you said that I killed your mother, but there is physical evidence? Where is the place where the incident occurred? Where is your mother's body? Why did your mother die?"

Yan Yuemei was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Jingzhi's cold gaze, gritted her teeth and said, "Many people can testify that day, you, the thief, knocked my mother to the ground and formed a grudge, and then my mother disappeared, and my home was also burned down by a fire, is there anyone else besides you?"

Chen Jingzhi shouted angrily, "In other words, you have not found your mother, so how dare you say that your mother is dead? How dare you spew blood and frame me?

"The two of them can prove that it was you who beat my mother, and that your disappearance must have something to do with it. Yan Yuemei gritted her teeth and shouted sharply.

"Isn't it unrighteous to have no foundation and no basis to speculate and tarnish people's innocence?" Chen Jingzhi shouted, "Your mother doesn't know whether she is alive or dead now, but you keep saying that your mother is dead, isn't it unfilial?"

He looked at each other and said, "Where is your mother now, and who instructed you to frame me?"

In the face of Chen Jingzhi's repeated questions, at this time, Han Pump and the others in the hall all changed color slightly, and women like Yan Yuemei were in a mess before they went to the court.

"Are you talking nonsense? You killed my mother, I have already asked the river god, and my mother was killed by you?" Yan Yuemei was asked and her heart was hot, and she suddenly forgot what the river god had explained, and pointed at Chen Jingzhi and shouted.

"Which river god's words, please ask the river god to inform the torturer envoy, in the future, the river god can determine the truth or falsehood in a word, what else do you want the torturer to do?" Chen Jingzhi smiled coldly, and then bowed his hand to Han Pump and the others, "Thank you to the torturer envoy, I have already finished asking what I want to ask." ”

Han Pump changed color, no matter what the gods did behind their backs, but it would be a taboo for the government to openly meddle in the affairs of the world.

"How dare you dare to deceive?" Han Pump suddenly stood up and shouted, "Left and right, detain him immediately, I will report to the county for decision." ”

"Do you two know what you're doing?" asked Han Pump sharply, and the Chen family trembled.

One of them immediately threw himself on the ground and cried out, "My lord, it was that shrew who persecuted me and persecuted me." After speaking, the other person also hurriedly shouted.

Yan Yuemei turned around, laughed, and scolded, "Ungrateful things, you accepted my money, and you still want to get out and leave?"

"Be bold and fool me. Han Pump was furious, and immediately exhaled left and right and pressed the two Chen to the ground.
