Chapter 837: Summons

Shuntianfu Yamen

There are several courtyards dedicated to the trial of cases, which are used separately according to the different levels of prisoners to be interrogated and the size of the matters to be tried.

One of the most spacious courtyards was divided into two piles with a number of people.

At this time, the autumn tiger still has residual power, close to the courtyard gate and the shade, most of them are officials, officials, and there are also some preferential scholars, although they are talking to each other at this time, they only dare to talk in a whisper, their eyes look at the main hall from time to time, and the word "gossip" seems to be written in their eyes.

Another group of people stood in the opposite place outside, merchants, men, craftsmen, and women, who did not dare to speak, but also threw themselves into the hall.

Inside, someone who shouldn't have been here is trying the case.

"Mighty!" Zhaobi held the water and fire stick in order, and the official handed over a majestic Tang Wei: "Summoning people to Bo Ningyun to enter." ”

All the noise stopped immediately, so quiet that a needle could be heard on the ground, and the person standing in the shade was stunned, and his demeanor looked quite quiet, and he hurriedly entered, and could faintly see through the curtain, and there was a young man wearing a golden crown sitting in the hall.

"I didn't expect the acting king to come to interrogate in person, this, this is really the first time I've seen it. After a while, the sound of people started again, and the little official under a tree near the gate of the courtyard fanned the wind with his hand, and couldn't help but sigh.

The colleague looked approving: "Who says it's not?"

Don't say that it is a prince like the acting king, even if he is a first- or second-class official, he has not seen a special person who went to the territory of Shuntian Mansion to try the case, at most he sat with him when he ascended to the court, and this generally requires the emperor to give an edict before he will be respected.

After all, they are all nobles, and the yamen of Shuntianfu is okay, and the trial office has its own bad luck in the eyes of nobles, who will have nothing to do to find bad luck for themselves and drill here?

It's just that the son of the crown prince and the grandson of the emperor is unusual!

Some people also glanced inside, and said two words instead of the king: "I don't blame the acting prince for the trial, after all, in front of everyone's eyes, in the capital, the prince was assassinated, who can give up on this matter? If it were you, would you not be in a hurry to find out the person who instructed the assassin?"

"Also, the acting king hates the assassin to death......" One of the officials looked around: "This is already the third batch, and the first two batches have already finished questioning." ”

"But the problem is, up to now, there are not a hundred, but there are eighty people, what can be asked? I'm okay, I can still talk here, but Lord Liu, I'm afraid there is nothing to love. ”

The "Lord Liu" in the mouth of this little official, in fact, is not much of a big official, he is the clerk of Shuntianfu who is responsible for recording documents, the clerk is not in the stream, but the level of Shuntianfu is high, so he is also from Jiupin, at this time sitting on the side of the hall, holding a pen in his hand, and constantly recording confessions.

Most of the small officials are sleek, even if they complain, they don't dare to be blatant, but they are readers, and the discussion is much louder.

A man with long eyebrows and thin lips, although he was in the shade, he was impatient, and his vest was a little wet, and then he complained: "The heart of the king is understandable. ”

"It's just that no matter who it is, on the shipyard, on the dock, even nearby shops and even bystanders have been brought in to inquire, and some of them obviously have nothing to do with this matter, so what's the use of looking for a needle in a haystack?

"The acting king was assassinated, you also know that the mood can be forgiven, so we should cooperate more. As a result, the thorn head complained, and an old lifter glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Ge Sheng, you are a lifter, you naturally know what it means to be cautious in words and deeds, and the court is tolerant, not a reason for us to be presumptuous." ”

"Besides, such a big thing, not to mention us, even Lord Fu Yin, we have to agree. ”

Ge Sheng, the young man, pursed his lips and stopped talking, although the Shuntian Mansion Yin is one of the emperor's henchmen, the people who can be in this position, except for the holy family, must have something extraordinary.

This is outstanding, it may be that the bones are particularly hard, and they are ruthless enough to themselves, so that people can't find fault with them and can't grasp the handle, but even so, they can't sit for long.

It's more like Tan Ping, who pays attention to loyalty, works seriously, and pays attention to a sense of proportion, although he does not form a party for personal gain, but he does not easily offend people, he has always liked to leave a line in his work, and he is good at solving disputes for people.

"But what can you ask like this?" sighed as the others followed.

Unlike these people who have meritorious names and protect themselves and ask themselves nothing to do, other people who were called to this courtyard to wait for questioning, no matter what they thought in their hearts, had some nervousness on their faces.

After all, most of these people are ordinary businessmen, and there are some boatmen, who have never experienced this kind of thing, and the thought of being questioned by the acting king is also related to the assassination of the acting king, even if it has nothing to do with themselves, their hearts will pound.

Who knows if this emperor will be angry?

At this time, Ge Sheng didn't speak, but just glanced at the few people who were following inside, only to see that these people's faces were a little pale and worried.

Ge Sheng just glanced at it, listening to the faint question inside, but he was thinking in his heart.

"The assassin has been caught, and there are suspects, but the acting king did not keep an eye on it, but went to the Shuntian Mansion for interrogation in person, and not only was there a suspicion, but everyone who participated in the cultural meeting, whether it was a lifter or a boatman, was brought over for questioning, this is not really planning to find a needle from a haystack - this is a bit paranoid, right?"

"Ask seemingly unrelated people here, do you perceive something?"

Thinking of this, Ge Sheng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, he was Cao Yiyan's person, and this matter was also something sent by the lord.

"Don't think about it, scare yourself. ”

"My identity has been buried for ten years, it is a one-line connection, and I have a fame, even if the acting king perceives something, he can only ask a few words, and he will never be tortured. ”

"Not to mention that most of the things related to it are lifting, even if it is not, so many people, rashly using punishment, will also cause criticism, the king cherishes his feathers, and will not use punishment at will - there was no punishment just now. ”

"But what's the point of asking such a question, is it just a moment of resentment on behalf of the king?"

Ge Sheng thought about it, but still felt that the acting king was angry because of the assassination, which was the most reliable explanation.

"Next, Ge Sheng. ”

As Bo Ningyun came out of the hall with a relaxed face, the official who came out at the same time shouted outside, and his eyes fell on Ge Sheng, who was thinking about something.

Bo Ningyun waved his hand slightly and smiled: "Brother Ge, it's okay, the acting king just asks some questions and answers frankly." ”

Brother Xie Bo reminded. ”

From Da Wei to Da Zheng, he has not yet been awarded an official with meritorious fame, and he is not called an adult, but a brother - Xiucai calls him a brother, and he calls Xiucai a brother.

The same class, call each other brothers.

If you are not a showman, you naturally have no right to call it that.

Ge Sheng suddenly reined in his thoughts, looked calm and innocent, and took off his clothes and entered the hall.
