Chapter 205: Careful Layout
Although he didn't speak, everyone knew in their hearts that this was what it meant to be-for-tat.
"Zuo Weishu is really bold, he dared to forcibly break into the mansion of the first product of the dynasty, and forcibly pressed people to the criminal department without saying anything, Lord Song, I want to ask you, who gave you the courage?"
Yuan Wenzhao walked in from the door, snorted coldly at Song Daren, and asked.
These words are obviously meant to imply the crown prince.
After all, everyone in the world knows that the prince's six rates are directly under the army of the crown prince Li Xianyi, that is, if the Tang Emperor wants to order the prince to do things, it is inconvenient to bypass the prince.
At present, the left guard rate must naturally be dispatched by Li Xianyi.
Why bother?
Song Daren looked at him coldly, and said lightly: "Lord Yuan had better use his brain when he spoke, you must know that some words are not just said casually, as a Dali Siqing, you must pay attention to evidence when you say anything." ”
"Evidence?"
Yuan Wenzhao sneered and said, "Dali Temple needs evidence to do things, doesn't the Criminal Department need it? I want to see how you plan to deal with it after Jiang Manquan comes to the Criminal Department in a while. ”
He sneered twice and didn't say anything, but his meaning was already self-evident.
Song Daren glanced at him, frowned, and said, "Since Zuo Weishu has already brought people over, there is naturally no shortage of evidence, so I don't have to worry about this." ”
At this time, Shi Ling suddenly interjected: "I heard that the person who arrested this time was Yang Xueping, the deputy general of the Zuo Wei Command, who not only arrested Master Jiang but also detained Ying Zi'an, the general of the Zuo Wei Command, why is this?"
Many officials around listened with their ears pricked up when they heard this, and this incident was strange from beginning to end, and it was too hasty.
It's just that the people led by Zuo Wei arrested Jiang Manquan, why did Ying Zi'an also arrest him?
And why is Ying Zi'an in Jiang Manquan's house?
It's like a big mystery that is cut and unorganized, and people can't see it clearly.
Naturally, they were curious.
Song Daren's face did not fluctuate, so that people couldn't see the depth, but said: "I also just got the news, and I don't know what the specific situation is." ”
Shang Ling nodded and didn't continue to ask, not only him, but also many other officials jumped and pouted secretly.
I thought to myself, who are you fooling with this?
Others don't know that you, the criminal department in charge of the trial, can you still not know?
Time passed little by little, and everyone present did not speak, waiting quietly.
Song Daren put his hands behind his back and didn't say a word, but he kept thinking about it in his heart, just last night, the national teacher actually appeared in his mansion, and told everything about the matter and the plan, I have to say that it was indeed a flawless plan.
I can only sigh that it is worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, but the only shortcoming of this plan is in the imperial history.
Because no one knows which end this old guy with a reputation higher than Shilin is on, even if he is in charge of presiding over the verdict as the secretary of the Criminal Department, he is not arbitrary after all.
The national teacher and the crown prince did not come, and the prince and the king of Wu naturally did not come.
"Unauthorized seizure of the first product of the dynasty, Lord Song, this official really wants to see how you plan to end?"
After a long silence, Yuan Wenzhao glanced at Song Daren and sneered.
Originally, with his stability, it would not have been like this, but the grudge between him and Song Daren has been a long time, and he is almost an out-and-out rival, but he will not let go of any opportunity to suppress the other party.
"The Criminal Department is only responsible for auditing, I don't know the specific reason, why did Lord Yuan say this?"
Song Daren is like a deep-rooted tree, unmoved by the wind and rain, even in the face of repeated ridicule, he stands there expressionlessly, without missing the slightest flaw.
can be in charge of the Criminal Department, to a certain extent, he is the most reassuring of the six Shangshu.
"The arrest and trial should be a product of the dynasty, not to mention that there is no evidence, even if the evidence is conclusive, it needs to be tried by the three divisions, Song Daren, do you think Mr. Ding will stand on your side?"
This is already obvious, and it can be regarded as crossing the line.
Before Song Daren could answer, he heard an exclamation from the officials around him, and then many people lined up in a row and bowed to the door, shouting, "His Royal Highness." ”
Yuan Wenzhao's complexion changed slightly, and he immediately turned around and looked back, just a glance, but his face completely changed color, and even his eyes were slightly gloomy.
Shang Ling stood beside him, with a faint admiration and respect in his eyes, and lowered his head slightly and did not speak.
There were dozens of imperial court officials standing in the compound of the Criminal Department, both camps, and after seeing Li Xiu, their faces showed different expressions.
But all of them have one thing in common, and that is shock.
Because Li Xiu was not the only one standing at the door at the moment, he was pushing a wheelchair in his hand, and an old man was sitting in the wheelchair.
It is the Cheng Ding Yi in the imperial history.
Many people are horrified and wonder how much has happened in this short night.
Lord Ding Yi, who has always been the most loyal to His Majesty, actually came together with the prince?
In this way, the three envoys who may happen next have already made it clear that the prince's side has the upper hand, and this is the case for Jiang Manquan to be judged at this moment, so will it be the same for others to be judged in the future?
Thinking like this, many officials changed their eyes slightly, and they recalculated in their hearts.
There are people who think more deeply, Dali Siqing has the right to ask for a holy judgment, so the result cannot be determined in advance, but the court officials who immediately hold such an idea are all pupils suddenly shrunk a little, and their faces were pale.
These people suddenly realized that the person who is now the Holy Judge is none other than His Majesty, the current crown prince Li Xianyi.
The officials were all frightened when they thought of this, cold sweat broke out, and they looked at the young figure who was walking in from the door with great fear, it was just one night from the return of the prince to Beijing, and the layout was so careful in a short time, how can it be described by the word horror?
The big thing is not good, at this moment, I can only wait quietly, do not say a word, and it is good to protect myself wisely, so as not to involve myself, and now it depends on what the evidence is in the hands of the prince.
Small, not enough to calm the situation, big, not enough to mobilize the public to show many hole cards, but also opened Ding Yi's hole card in one fell swoop.
Only evidence greater than heaven can solve this matter once and for all.
Li Xiu pushed Ding Yi into the crowd, and the hundred officials spread out to both sides to make way for a road.
"His Royal Highness. ”
Shang Ling nodded lightly at Li Xiu and said.
Li Xiu bowed in return, and then stood side by side with Song Daren.
Outside the criminal department, there was a noisy shout, and the sound of Ming Huangjia's uniform friction sounded.
