Chapter 39: Trial of the Case (II)

Jiang Dawei was stared at by the emperor and Prime Minister Cui Cheng's two oppressive eyes, his mind was blank, cold sweat dripped down one by one, and it was uncomfortable to paste into his eyes.

Not only Jiang Dawei and others were anxious, but Liu He was also nervous, and his heart was up and down.

"Don't you want to say it soon?" Zhao Xin slapped the stunned wood again, and urged coldly.

The startling wood seemed to slam into his heart, and he trembled with fright.

"Sin, Sin, ......"

Jiang Dawei trembled for a while, and he couldn't even hold back a fart.

Zhao Xin squinted: "Don't say it, I will tell you that the confession you confessed last night is true?"

Jiang Dawei shook again, and subconsciously shook his head again and again, but he shook half of it and nodded in a panic, and there was no way to judge whether he agreed or disagreed.

After shaking for a moment, he suddenly kowtowed, and wept bitterly:

"Your Majesty, the criminal was obsessed with money for a while, so he embezzled two silver ......

The sinner knows that he deserves death! I hope that the emperor will give the sinner a ...... death."

Jiang Dawei slammed it extremely hard, as if it was not his own head, and blood came out of his head in a few clicks.

Seeing this, the other officials also cried and pleaded guilty, and they all kowtowed, but none of them mentioned Liu He's matter.

Cui Cen's face softened a little, stood up and arched his hand towards Zhao Xin.

"Your Majesty, these people are all guilty and have confessed to corruption and bribery.

And their confessions and ministers have also read it, regardless of whether what they said about Liu He is true or false,

However, the verdict of the case is not only based on the confessions of these people, but also on human witnesses, physical evidence, documentary evidence, inquest and other evidence.

Evidence is the core content of the trial of the case, and only on the basis of ascertaining the facts can the guilt and innocence be determined.

Now the matter of Lord Liu is obviously not sufficient evidence. According to the laws of Great Qin, it cannot be convicted. ”

When Liu He heard Cui Cen's words, his heart calmed down a little.

He grabbed the ground with his head and said sadly: "Your Excellency, the lower officials are really wronged! I hope that Your Majesty and the Prime Minister will be aware of it!"

Liu Han's heart was bitter, thinking of his wife and five-year-old daughter at home, he closed his eyes sadly.

He admitted all the blame himself, Liu He was fine, and he could save the lives of his wife and daughter.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty...... The grass people were confused and lied......

The sale of illicit salt and the sale of officials and lords were all secretly carried out by the grass people in his name without the third brother...... None of this has anything to do with the third brother, he has no idea......"

Liu Yishan looked at his father suddenly: "Dad, what are you talking nonsense......?

"Shut up!"

Liu Han interrupted him sharply, his red and bloodshot eyes staring at his son.

"You have done evil on weekdays, ruined your uncle's reputation, our family has owed him a lot, how can we frame him now that something has happened?"

Liu Yishan looked at Liu Han in a daze, and suddenly couldn't speak.

I just felt that he seemed to be many years old in an instant, and his back was stiffened.

Cui Cen said: "Your Majesty, Liu Han has admitted that he deliberately framed Lord Liu, so his original testimony will not be established.

It seems that it is indeed Liu Han's father and son who are fake tigers, taking advantage of Lord Liu's status and status for their own personal gain.

Even if he really wanted to cure Lord Liu's crimes, he would at most neglect his brother.

The minister believes that through this lesson, Lord Liu will reform and strictly control the people in the clan.

Beware of them repeating the mistakes of Liu Han's father and son. ”

Liu He also hurriedly said: "This matter is Weichen's negligence! In the future, Weichen will definitely remember this lesson and strictly control the children of the Liu family in the future!"

Zhao Xin is on fire, and he is strict with a sentence? !

"Even if Liu He has insufficient evidence in the corruption case, it is impossible to determine whether he was involved.

But he not only deliberately covered up Liu Yishan's murder charges, but also aided in the abuse.

Together with Kyoto Captain Liu Mu to frame Ma Youyan and Liang Xiping in prison, the evidence of this matter is conclusive. ”

Zhao Xin stared coldly at Liu He, whose face was stiff and slightly pale, and sneered in his heart.

Even if I can't cure you of corruption, I will cure you of the crime of framing loyalty!

The evidence of this matter is conclusive, and he wants to see what Cui Cen has to say!

Liu He hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the minister knows his mistake! It was Yishan's nephew who came to beg the minister.

He said that he was framed, and the minister did not know the situation at the time, and the minister was concerned about it, and he misunderstood Lord Liang and them without finding out......

The minister knows that he is wrong, and the minister is willing to accept the punishment, and I hope that His Majesty will punish the crime!"

Liu Yishan was holding back a breath of anger, how can he see how hypocritical his uncle is now.

He almost couldn't help but scold back, but Liu Han held his hand and warned him to shut up.

Liu Yishan didn't know what he thought, but he didn't speak.

Cui Cen frowned, and arched his hand and said:

"Your Majesty, Lord Liu is afraid that he is also thinking about family affection, so he made a mistake for a while and did something wrong.

It has not yet made a big mistake, since Ma Youyi and Liang Xiping are innocent, they will be reinstated.

His Majesty will give him some more money to appease, and as for Lord Liu, for the sake of his first mistake and active admitting his mistakes, please open the net. ”

God is a first offense! Liu He has shielded Liu Yishan I don't know how many times! Zhao Xin couldn't help but curse angrily in his heart.

But he also knows that today's battle is the limit.

Cui Cen, the old horseman, is determined to protect Liu He.

If he goes too far, Cui Cen will definitely fight back, and the final result will be unfavorable to him.

Zhao Xin said coldly: "As an official of the imperial court, Liu He is not only derelict in his duties but also abused his power.

Since Prime Minister Cui Cheng interceded for him, I looked at Cui Xiang's face and treated Liu He lightly.

sentenced him to 30 boards, thought about it behind closed doors for three months, and fined him for one year!

As for Liu Mu, the captain of Kyoto, he will be deprived of his official position!"

Liu He's tense heart was finally relieved, and it was better to suffer a little bit of flesh and blood than to lose his life.

Liu Mu is also a child of the Liu clan, but now that he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, it is difficult to protect himself, so he can't take care of him.

He hurriedly thanked Jun En: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Xin said again: "As for Liu Han's father and son, they will be punished for several crimes, sentenced to behead all the houses, and confiscate all their property!"

The rest of the officials suspected of corruption will be severely punished and all beheaded!

Take back all the titles and honors, and his family members will be reduced to slavery, and they will not be allowed to enter the court as officials within three generations!

These prisoners will be sent back to the prison and executed in three days!"

As soon as the verdict was announced, many people in the hall fainted.

Especially Liu Han, his face turned pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood violently.

Cui Cen frowned, but didn't say another word after all.

After this incident, Cui Cen felt that the little emperor was getting more and more out of his control.

He lowered his eyes gloomily, secretly measuring in his heart that he needed to speed up the draft process and insert eyeliner into the palace as soon as possible.

If the little emperor is allowed to develop like this, maybe one day he will really not be able to control him.

This public trial came to an end.

Liu He was beaten with 30 boards and almost lost half his life.

That night, Liu Han's wife begged to Liu He's mansion and begged to save the lives of his orphans and widows.

However, before he could even enter the door, he was blasted away by the rods of the evil servants.
