Chapter 23 Trial
After Emperor Shenwu finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Fang Yang and Li Ming of Dali Temple stayed to deal with the unfinished matter here. The rest of the people wait, get off and go back to the palace!"
All the ministers knelt down and kowtowed. He Xiaoyan also knelt down, but Ling Ye didn't kneel, just flashed to the side, looking at Emperor Shenwu coldly.
Emperor Shenwu glanced at him, and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "Why don't you kneel?"
Ling Ye said lightly: "The person who kneels to you is asking for you." I don't want anything from you, so I don't kneel. ”
Dingguo Gong Lu Tianming raised his head and scolded: "Young man speaks in such a loud tone, aren't you afraid of being killed?"
Ling Ye said coldly: "Although I am a mountain village man, I have also heard that a wise king does not kill people with joy and anger, let alone kill people by listening to the words of villains. You are shouting here to kill my head, I think you are the villain next to the emperor? I want to ask the emperor to kill people at every turn, I think you want to teach Your Majesty to be a faint monarch?"
Lu Tianming was snatched away by his words, and he was so angry that the white beard under his chin blew up, and he stared at Ling Ye with a purple face: "You ......"
Emperor Shenwu waved his hand: "Ling Ye's words are quite subtle, and I feel that it is reasonable. Dingguo Gong, you better save your effort!" said and walked outside, never looking back.
As soon as he left, almost all the ministers followed, leaving only a few people left behind by Emperor Shenwu, as well as Ling Ye and others.
Fang Yang, the secretary of Dali Temple, bowed his hand to Huang Quan and said: "General Huang, if your case is to be tried, there are many halls here, so you might as well review it together?"
Huang Quan smiled: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
He turned to Zhao Daquan and said with a smile: "Commander Zhao, in your opinion, how should this case we want to work on be reviewed?"
Zhao Daquan took a deep breath, glanced at Huang Quan, and then at Ling Ye, with a hesitant look on his face.
Ling Ye lightly touched He Xiaoyan, walked over with her, and said coldly to Zhao Daquan: "You are such a big person, and you are still in a high position, you still can't make up your mind about this little thing? Do you want to wronged me, do you have any evidence in your hand, don't you have half a point in your heart? When you can't come up with evidence to prove your statement, you were dragged out and beheaded, but everything turned into a dream!"
Zhao Daquan's face was red and white, but he was speechless. In his heart, how could he not know that what Ling Ye said was true? It's just that there are many things in this world, and once he takes a step, it is not easy to turn back.
Fang Yang and Li Ming hadn't left for a while, they both looked at this side in surprise, with stunned expressions on their faces.
They are all from Dali Temple, which is the legal yamen of the Silver Moon Empire, and is responsible for adjudicating and handling cases. They have already tried many cases, and they are always the only ones who sit high on the platform and ask questions majestically, and the people on trial kneel down and answer tremblingly, and if they don't answer well, they will be punished at any time.
Now it's okay, Ling Ye, who should be kneeling down and being interrogated, actually spoke so coldly and arrogantly to a person who should be sitting high and asking questions majestically, and his tone was full of contempt, as if he was the high-ranking interrogator and Zhao Daquan was the person being interrogated.
They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. It's over, it's over, the world is turned upside down!
Ling Ye saw the hesitation in his heart, and said coldly: "You heard what the emperor said, the case must be closed before sunset." Lord Zhao, those mysterious men in black have no way to conspire with you now, and they can't give you any ideas. Do you want your head to fall to the ground, or do you want to kneel down and beg your majesty to spare your dog's life?"
Zhao Daquan was still speechless, thought for a while, stomped his foot fiercely, turned around and was about to walk out.
Ling Ye's eyes were quick, he pressed his shoulder, and looked at him coldly: "Lord Zhao, I would like to advise you, if you go out by yourself now, someone will take your life in the blink of an eye." The accomplice who conspired with you, Ding Buwei is dead, and you have no way to pour dirty water on me, in other words, it is useless. What's worse is that even if you're useless, your mysterious men in black accomplices will have to worry about you poking them out. Do you think they're going to let you live well?"
Zhao Daquan's face changed greatly, the cold sweat on his forehead gushed out like a spring, and his whole body trembled.
Fang Yang and Li Ming glanced at each other, and sighed even more in their hearts, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice. A few words bluffed a high-ranking official in command of the cavalry battalion, this young man is really difficult! Fortunately, His Majesty did not let us try his case!
However, it seems that Zhao Daquan did something that should not be done, so he was said to have a heart disease, so he was speechless. This is a wrong step, a wrong step!
They thought they couldn't hear too much, so they took their leave. Huang Quan didn't keep it, arched his hand, and watched them go out.
He saw that Ling Ye had pushed people so hard, and knew that he should come to sing and red-faced, so he smiled and patted Zhao Daquan's shoulder, and said, "Commander Zhao, everything can be saved at present." You haven't said anything, and the case is not closed. ”
Zhao Daquan took a deep breath and muttered, "It seems too late...... They won't let my family go...... They're going to have my wife and kids going under the knife......"
Huang Quan smiled: "Now I don't want to ask who they are. I just want to know, do you want your family to be safe?"
Zhao Daquan nodded like a chicken pecking rice. Huang Quan said: "That's fine! I just ask who your accomplice is, and you don't have to say. Trust me, as long as you don't say anything for a day, your family will be safe for a day. ”
Zhao Daquan nodded like a chicken pecking rice. Huang Quan said: "Now do you still want to say that Ling Ye beat the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion under you unreasonably?"
Zhao Daquan hurriedly shook his head: "Don't dare, don't dare!"
Huang Quan said: "Do you still want to say that beating the second young master of the Ding family in the middle of the night is an unreasonable beating, and you want to run amok in the imperial capital?"
Zhao Daquan shook his head again and again: "That's all Ding Buwei said, and those people let me say that! Actually, I don't know anything, they just asked me to say this! I didn't see it with my own eyes!"
Huang Quan smiled, "Okay." This case can basically be closed at this point. We can draw up a transcript for Your Majesty to explain the whole story. ”
Zhao Daquan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Your Majesty will ask who those people are...... What then?"
Huang Quan smiled and said, "You just said that Ding Buwei gave you a thousand taels of silver to let you say this together? Why do you have to say what kind of mysterious man in black is? Keep those words, you can still live." If you say it, you'll be killed, but it's none of me!"
Zhao Daquan took another deep breath and arched his hand: "Thank you General Huang for your magnanimity!
