Verse 325: Ode to the World
"My lord, the perpetrator has been apprehended!
Yun Luohan took the lead in completing the task and returned, he was still holding a person in his left hand, and then the "swish" skipped over everyone's heads, and directly threw the perpetrator who assassinated Feng Fu just now to the public hall of Dali Temple!
"Yun Zhutou, hard work! Now this official orders you to go to Shisanlin on the outskirts of Beijing as soon as possible to assist the owner of Dali Temple, Bo Wang Lianmin, and cooperate with him to complete relevant matters! Remember, you must ensure the personal safety of the personnel of my Dali Temple! Go quickly!"
Li Chengjie once again took out an arrow and threw it at Yun Luohan!
"Yes, my lord!
Yun Luohan took the arrow, and without a moment of rest, he directly stood on his feet and rushed to the stone three forests!
"Someone, wake him up first. ”
Li Chengjie said with compassion!
"Water?"
The two officials who were ordered by Li Chengjie were about to carry water when they heard the sound, but after hearing Li Chengjie's strange tone, they subconsciously asked!
"No, the cane is thirty boards!"
Li Chengjie no longer had any discussion with him this time, and directly gave the order to "move the punishment"! Li Chengjie took the arrow and threw it down without hesitation! The arrow bottomed out and rebounded, and just finally landed on the face of the fainting "perpetrator"!
"Yes, sir!"
When the two officials heard the sound, the two dragged a bench, and then each held a torture staff, and the two had a tacit understanding at the same time to shovel under the man, and then their arms were forced, and they slammed off, only to see that the person was picked up by the two officials, and then Teng spun up, and finally lay on the bench very accurately!
"Ahh
The assailant was in some pain from the fall, and he woke up from the syncope! So much so that he didn't realize what was going on!
Of course, the two officials didn't care whether he had woken up or not, since Master Li had a life, they were only responsible for execution!
Then, a continuous scream sounded!
"Ahhh
It's really worse than the old ducks!
And when the two officials fell to the last board, the man fainted again!
"Go, bring a bucket of water, and wake him up for me!"
Li Chengjie opened his mouth again and ordered!
"Yes, sir!"
The two officials replied, and then went to bring a bucket of water, and poured it directly at the man!
"Ahh
After the man was woken up by the water, he was afraid that he would be beaten again, so he quickly curled himself up into a ball and shouted loudly!
Seeing this, Li Chengjie said in a deep voice, "You dared to commit murder in front of the court just now, not only despised the court, but also despised the emperor's authority, and the thirty cane sentences can be regarded as sparing your life!"
"Adult, it's wrong! Villain, I really know it's wrong!"
The perpetrator was not very old, he looked very immature, and now he had several scars on his body, and the pain in his body was very intense.
"Oh, do you really know what's wrong?
Li Chengjie looked at the current appearance of the murderer, and he asked with interest!
"I ...... Villain...... Villain...... The villain should not be born from the womb!"
The perpetrator stumbled, in fact, how did he know how to answer Li Chengjie's question, he was asked by Li Chengjie just now, he could only answer so playfully!
"Hehe! Okay, big man, crying and crying, what kind of system! A court will be held to try you, as long as you answer the official's questions truthfully, the official will give you leniency as appropriate!"
Li Chengjie gave the man a blank look, and then stopped questioning! Now he is the only one in the Dali Temple, and he is unsupervised, and he cannot conduct the trial alone!
......
After a while, Wang Lianmin took the lead in rushing back with the officials, although they did not return empty-handed, but they got very little, as Li Chengjie said before, Wang Lianmin really only found some "clues"!
What is the specific clue, that is the real "clue".
According to Wang Lianmin's later report, there was indeed a bandit's den in the Shisanlin where they went, but the furnishings were shabby, and it didn't look like a sign that someone had lived here for a long time, so that Wang Lianmin really found a lot of "spider silk" in several corners!
As for the "horse level," it is naturally the traces left by the real horseback riding! After careful investigation, Wang Lianmin can deduce that what Dong Hua said is true, because all kinds of messy "spider silk" and relatively fresh "horse traces" here! All of them are corroborating Dong Hua's testimony!
And according to Dong Hua's guidance, Wang Lianmin also found some objects, which should have fallen from those dead domestic servants after preliminary inference!
However, in Wang Lianmin's report, the most interesting thing is that they are looking for the "latest horse traces left by the bandits in Dong Hua's mouth".
However, when Wang Lianmin returned, he found a few more lines of "horse tracks" leading straight to Kyoto.
"It's very intriguing!"
And then, Wang Lianmin presented the files of some of the bandits he transferred from the Beijing Garrison Guard, and found that Shi Sanlin's gang of bandits was exterminated by the Beijing Garrison Guard Office three years ago!
After Li Chengjie looked through the information submitted by Wang Lianmin, he asked, "Lianmin, do you think that the people who participated in the murder were from Kyoto, and they deliberately pretended to be bandits from Shisanlin in order to confuse the public?"
"Lord Qiyu, the lower officials not only suspect, but also suspect that the person who pretended to be a bandit is now hiding in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites!
After Wang Lianmin heard Li Chengjie's words, he groaned slightly, but still said his truest thoughts. And bow down to ask for your life, extremely solemn!
"Wang has mercy on the people, he has always remembered his name! Pity the people, have mercy on the people, have mercy on the people, have mercy on the people of the world!"
Now the servants of the Xu Mansion have dozens of corpses, and it is expected that there are many more that have not yet been salvaged, every time Wang Lianmin thinks about it, he feels anxious, if he can't bring those murderers to justice, he will feel uncomfortable!
"Pity the people, this matter must not be so reckless! The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion is a special gift from His Majesty, even if we hold the gold medal from His Majesty, as long as Zhao Yu is still the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and there is no obvious evidence of a crime, we can't forcibly search the mansion! Do you understand?"
Li Chengjie raised his eyebrows and then said! He understands Wang Lianmin's feelings very well, and he also can't wait to bring the murderer to justice! But they are officials of the imperial court, and they are also officials of Dali Temple!
"Law enforcement is impartial! It must not be mixed with any personal feelings, and it must be fair and fair, not only to safeguard the rights of the victims, but also to treat the perpetrators fairly! Before there is conclusive evidence to prove that the suspect is the murderer, the national law also has the right to protect the rights of the suspect!"
Li Chengjie was sitting in this position at this time, and he realized how difficult it was to achieve this kind of "law enforcement fairness"! Whenever he saw a person who had done a lot of evil, he wanted to tear them apart with his own hands.
But whenever he had this impulse, he had to restrain himself!
He wants to find evidence, find rules, and then find the punishment specified in the relevant laws! Because Li Chengjie, who is familiar with the laws of the country, knows very well that not all sins must be paid for with his life!
"A scale in the heart, weighing good and evil, right and evil, measuring right and wrong. Add weight to the weak, and add guilt to the presser. In the end, there is still a balance to be maintained!"
"There is no absolute fairness in the world, but what national law pursues is absolute fairness!"
"No one can do it, but there are always people who want to pursue it!"
Li Chengjie is such a person, he knows that it is difficult for him to do it, but he has been working hard, and he can't change others for the time being, so he tries to overcome himself!
"Yes, my subordinates understand!"
Wang Lianmin and Li Chengjie glanced at each other, in fact, he understood what Li Chengjie said, otherwise he would not have returned to Dali Temple directly just now, but rushed directly to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites!
But he didn't vomit or be unhappy with these words! He thought that everyone in the world was close to him, and he had pity in his heart, and if he didn't open his mouth, it would be difficult for his heart to be calm! Even now, Wang Pimin's heart was full of indebtedness!
......
"My lord, the suspect Zhao Lishu has been brought!"
The promise to bring people did not escort Zhao Lishu in, but four people carried Zhao Lishu in on a stretcher!
"Promise, what's going on?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Chengjie's eyes, he didn't expect Zhao Lishu to have this trick!
"Back to the adult's words, Zhao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, told the lower officials that the fourth son of the Zhao family, that is, Zhao Lishu, has been sick and bedridden for more than five days, and often wakes up as if trapped in a chaotic nightmare. ”
promised to Li Chengjie and truthfully replied to what Zhao Yu said to him at that time!
"Oh, is this the official of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Yuzhao, said it personally?"
When Li Chengjie heard the promise, he blinked his eyes and asked with a smile! If this was said by Zhao Yu himself, then it may not be a bad thing for him!
"Back to my lord's words, indeed, about Zhao Lishu's condition, everything was told by Lord Zhao Yu to the lower officials!
Xu Promise took out the paper prescription from his sleeve, and then bowed down and took three steps forward, and put the prescription on the public case of Dali Siqing smoothly!
"The initial symptom, high fever does not go away. Existing symptoms: daytime fainting and drowsiness, nightmares at night, fluctuating body temperature, and high fever that is easy to recur. After investigation, it is a rare eccentric symptom!"
Li Chengjie looked at the explanation of Zhao Lishu's current illness on the prescription, he smiled, this writing is basically the same as not writing! Then Li Chengjie lowered his head and sniffed the ink on the paper! With Li Chengjie's perennial experience in dealing with pen and ink, the ink marks on the paper should be written on the same day!
"Promise, did you copy this prescription, or did Lord Zhao take it directly to you?"
Li Chengjie put down the prescription and then asked in a deep voice!
"If you go back to your lordship, this prescription was taken by Lord Zhao Yu and me personally, and it is the original diagnosis prescription of Zhao Sigongzi, not copied by the lower officials!"
Listening to Li Chengjie's question, he seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection with Li Chengjie! The promise seemed to have known what Li Chengjie was asking, and Li Chengjie also seemed to have known that he was ready to ask this question!
"Well, Wang Lianmin will leave this prescription, and then copy a copy and give it to others, and order him to go directly to the palace, face the saint, and then ask His Majesty to appoint a royal doctor to come!"
Li Chengjie smiled, "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky." "If Zhao Yu hadn't been involved today, he might not have been able to directly connect this matter with Zhao Yu, but now that he has this prescription, then Zhao Yu won't be able to get rid of the suspicion of being involved in the case!
"He really is, handing the evidence to himself!"
The corners of Li Chengjie's mouth were lightly raised, and he scolded Zhao Yu with a smile in his heart, "stupid"!
"Lord Li, Lord Zhao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Zhao, there is still a sentence to entrust the official to answer on your behalf!"
Xu Promise cleared his throat, and then bowed and saluted Li Chengjie and said!
"Oh, Lord Zhao, this is still an order, a promise, a message!"
Li Chengjie was even more delighted when he heard this, for the current Zhao Yu, it is best not to do it, the more he does it, the more wrong he becomes, the better he does, the bigger the mistake!
Now everyone in the hall hears about it, and they can all be witnesses, which Zhao Yu can't rely on!
"Lord Qiyu, Lord Zhao asked me to convey to the adult, he said, this official will enter the palace to face the saint, if my son is wronged, the official wants you to look good!"
After promising to pass the word, Zhao Yu's demeanor and tone at that time were learned, which was vivid, causing everyone in the hall to hide their faces and chuckle. If it weren't for the public hall of Dali Temple, they would be afraid to "laugh loudly" or "roll on the ground with laughter"!
I don't know whether the promise is intentional or unintentional, his comparison, in the eyes of everyone, his etiquette book is like a "joke"!
"Haha, okay! Xu Sicheng worked hard, hurry up and sit down!"
Li Chengjie also chuckled twice, and from the words promised to be passed on from generation to generation, he could hear that Zhao Yu was a little angry!
"Silence!"
Li Chengjie said in a deep voice, and the serious atmosphere above the court was immediately saved!
"Okay, now, Dali Temple Cheng and Dali Temple Master Bo are all classified as! Su Yuke's case will continue to be tried!"
"Come on, bring Dong Hua and Feng Fu to the hall!"
Li Chengjie sat on the judge's seat, and then held the shocking wood in his hand, and slapped it suddenly, announcing the opening of the hall to everyone!
"Mighty!"
With the "mighty" sound of the officials, Feng Fu and Dong Hua were brought to the hall again!
"Feng Fu, Dong Hua, the two of you, look at this person, who instructed you to blame the official before?"
As Li Chengjie spoke, he also got up and walked down! He knew that nine percent of Zhao Lishu's illness was pretended by him, and this plan should be the "clever plan" of his father, Zhao Yuzhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!
Feng Fu and Dong Hua glanced at each other, they were all confused, they looked at the person Li Chengjie was referring to, the two of them surrounded each other, and after carefully confirming it repeatedly, Feng Fu took the lead and said:
"Lord Kaiyu, this is the person who gave me a lot of money a few days ago, and then instructed me to offer a reward for those dismissed domestic servants who walked around Kyoto for those fabricated remarks!"
Feng Fu is very familiar now, what he said is "processed", basically from his mouth, it can be used as the most direct evidence, and the explanation is very detailed!
And looking at Dong Hua from this, he is a little inferior to Feng Fu, after he confirmed, he just said lightly, "It's him!"
"How can you two be sure that the one who ordered you to do evil things that day was the fourth prince of Zhao who was lying on the stretcher! You know, Lord Zhao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said that the fourth prince of Zhao has been in bed for more than five days!"
Li Chengjie asked with a smile! Of course he didn't believe that Zhao Lishu was really sick, but how to prove that Zhao Lishu was the "mastermind behind the scenes" as they said in their mouths, the two of them needed to find a way to prove it!
"No way, it was definitely him that day!"
When Dong Hua heard this, he hurriedly said! If things develop to this place
step, he can't put the "mastermind responsibility" on Zhao Lishu's body, then there is no hope for his life!
At this time, Feng Fu seemed a little more calm! Feng Fu was originally a relatively smooth person among the many officials in the Criminal Department! Now weighing the pros and cons, coupled with the feeling of trustworthiness that Li Chengjie gave Feng Fu!
Feng Fu is not nervous now, he doesn't regard himself as a person involved in the case, how to say, he is now almost "playing himself as an undercover agent!", and his main task is to collect evidence and help Li Chengjie "go straight to the Yellow Dragon", so that he has a meritorious performance!
"I have to say, sometimes, the mentality really speaks for itself!"
Feng Fu's eyes turned three times, and he had a plan, he bowed and saluted, and then said:
"Master Li, the villain is brave and has a plan to make this Zhao Lishu reveal his true form! The villain thinks that Zhao Lishu's illness is pretended by him!"
Feng Fu's voice was extremely subtle, and the "ups and downs" in his tone showed that he was very attentive!
Li Chengjie chuckled twice and said, "Come here, tell your thoughts to the official!"
Li Chengjie gently hooked his finger at Feng Fu!
Dong Hua is also full of expectations, now that his brain is a mess, he can only count on Feng Fu to have some way to deal with this matter!
Feng Fu smiled "hehe", now he is not nervous at all, not only can he laugh, but his pace is also a little brisk!
Feng Fu leaned into Li Chengjie's ear, looked extremely cautious, and said quietly!
"Well, okay, you can give it a try!"
After Li Chengjie listened to Feng Fu's words, he smiled and shook his head, but in the end he agreed!
"I'm afraid it's still difficult to deal with others with this method, but with Li Chengjie's understanding of Zhao Lishu, it should be enough to use this local method to deal with this!"
After Li Chengjie listened, he beckoned to call two officials. Everyone looked at the four people who were plotting, and they were all confused! Obviously, this is a stalemate at present, and a person who faints can basically be regarded as "dead without proof"!
"Don't talk about confrontation in the court, just open your mouth to speak, Zhao Lishu can't do it now!"
In the curious eyes of everyone, Feng Fu walked out with two servants!
"Everyone, don't be impatient! Whether this Zhao Sigongzi's illness is pretended or real, we will see in a while!"
After a while, Feng Fu walked back with two servants!
"Lord Qiyu, the villain is ready!"
Feng Fu stood very close to Zhao Lishu, and shouted very loudly!
"Well, let's get started!"
Li Chengjie nodded, which can be regarded as Feng Fu's next behavior! Li Chengjie also got up slowly and walked to Zhao Lishu's side softly, so as to better observe Zhao Lishu!
"Everyone, these are all bought by Feng Mou in the medicine hall just now, spiders and snakes! But as far as I know, what Zhao Sigongzi is most afraid of is cockroaches, and I also wasted a lot of strength to catch three!"
As Feng Fu spoke, he picked up all the things he had prepared before, and showed them to everyone very proudly!
And those onlookers are also very cooperative, "seeping" "sighing" sound, if Zhao Lishu's illness is pretending, he is probably cold when he hears it!
Li Chengjie has been staring at Zhao Lishu carefully and tightly at this time, obviously, after Feng Fu's words just now, Zhao Lishu is already a little unbearable!
Li Chengjie looked at Zhao Lishu, his extremely reluctant brows, and his pale lips, Li Chengjie was more sure!
"Okay, Feng Fu, hurry up and get started!"
Li Chengjie said deliberately, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for Zhao Lishu!
"Come on, lift Zhao Sigongzi's quilt, and wait for Feng Fu to spill all the things he holds, and then you will use the quilt to cover those "little animals" in the quilt!"
Li Chengjie waved his hand and ordered!
Now not only the onlookers, but also the second prince are very curious about the outcome of this matter! Because they never thought that the official stock could handle the case in such a "child's play"!
Everyone in the audience stretched their necks and leaned forward, and they now felt that the original Dali Temple case was so "interesting"!
The second prince and Chen Yun also slowly got up and surrounded them!
"Huh!"
With Feng Fu spilling those "little animals"!
Every time something touched Zhao Lishu, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle, obviously that kind of frown was difficult for Zhao Lishu to control!
Li Chengjie smiled, the second prince and Chen Yun glanced at each other, and they all smiled and went back, but no one was in a hurry!
"Such an interesting thing! Everyone wants to see how long this Fourth Prince Zhao can last!"
When Li Chengjie ordered someone to cover the quilt, everyone could clearly see that Zhao Lishu was shocked!
Li Chengjie looked at Zhao Lishu, he could still bear it, he didn't waste time with Zhao Lishu anymore, and ordered very harshly:
"Bastard, why don't you go quickly, that cockroach is killed, don't you see that the cockroach has crawled to Zhao Sigongzi's ears?"
Li Chengjie said this sentence to Zhao Lishu from beginning to end, and the bastard just now also scolded "at Zhao Lishu", so it sounds extremely true!
Li Chengjie saw Zhao Lishu's brows furrowed, he took advantage of the situation and blew lightly in Zhao Lishu's ear!
Immediately, Zhao Lishu couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted, "Li Chengjie, you bastard!" At the same time, he quickly got up from the quilt in a panic, jumped up, pointed at Li Chengjie's nose, and scolded arrogantly!
"Zhao Sigongzi, this official advised you to think before you spoke, this is not the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion, where you are, but the public hall of my Dali Temple!"
Li Chengjie saw that Zhao Lishu was still so "unflat" so far, he waved Zhao Lishu's raised hand down, and then when Zhao Lishu looked at each other, his eyebrows unconsciously revealed a sense of fierceness and majesty!
Zhao Lishu looked at Li Chengjie's eyes, and he took a step back in a panic!
"Zhao Lishu, seeing that you still have this spirit and spirit cursing this official, can you tell this official, why are you pretending to be sick?"
Li Chengjie turned around and returned to his chief judge!
Zhao Lishu was also stunned in place, he looked around, looking at so many people in the court, and countless people watching in the hall, he was stunned in the court!
"Boom!"
Li Chengjie once again made a shocking sound, and Zhao Lishu was shocked!
"Bold Zhao Lishu, it is not as good as the truth so far, don't you want to taste the latest torture equipment created by my Dali Temple?"
Li Chengjie roared angrily! His voice was terrifying!
"I ...... I'll recruit ......"
Zhao Lishu was frightened and knelt down directly with a "poof", Zhao Lishu has been pampered since he was a child, and he can withstand the attack of Li Chengjie like this, from the "soul"!
With that, Zhao Lishu knelt down in the court!
The hall "thundered applause", and the many people who watched the trial of Dali Temple saw that one person after another "knelt down and confessed", and with the continuous rise of the identity of the characters, at this time, Dali Temple ushered in the first praise of the people!
