Han Shizu

Chapter 319
On Yihaishuo in February of the second year of Qianyou, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the sun was bright and the wind was clear, and the weather was fine.Since Chenzhong got up, the control was relaxed, and there was a flood of people in the city of Changshe, all heading towards the state government.

Some went after hearing the news, some were blindfolded, and many just went to the yamen to join in the fun.Early in the morning, the government issued a notice that the emperor's uncle, Cai Guogong, and the military governor of the Zhongwu Army were arrested, and the emperor issued an edict to interrogate them for their crimes.

These things are novel to the Changshe scholars and people.The big commotion in the city yesterday can't be hidden from people, it is more or less clear that something big happened.

Inside and outside the government office, a battalion of Fengchen army guards stood guard, and the sergeants on guard lined up from the atrium to the outside of the government office to maintain order and create a very serious atmosphere.Although there were many people gathered and there were endless noises, they had to be honest in front of the burly sergeants holding sharp weapons, but the discussions continued.

"I heard that a censor surnamed Zhao risked his life to impeach the evil dragon. After hearing this, the emperor was very angry and ordered an interrogation."

"That evil flood dragon is the emperor's uncle, with a high position and authority, can the emperor punish him?"

Liu Xin also made a nickname in Xuzhou - "Evil Jiaolong", which is quite vivid.

"The government's notice has already said, let the privy envoy Guo Xianggong interrogate, and allow the people in the city to watch the trial in front of the Yamen. Look at this situation, how can it be fake!"

"I heard that it's not just the evil dragon, many officials in Xuzhou have also been taken down!"

"."

Baiding Qianshou's comments are always just adjustments, and will not have any impact on how the case progresses.

The sun is rising high, and a few rays of warm sunshine pass through the door of the hall, illuminating the front of the hall, and there are two rows of depressing standing classes in the hall.Seeing that it was about the same time, Guo Wei came out of the back yamen in formal attire, wearing a black crown and purple suit, and wearing a gold bag on his waist, looking extremely solemn.

There were quite a few people present at the hearing. Murong Yanchao stared directly at Guo Wei, and threatened, "Guo Wenzhong, I'll just stand here and watch. If you dare to deal with injustice and wrong Cai Guogong, hehe!"

Glancing at Murong Yanchao indifferently, Guo Wei replied imposingly: "I have been ordered to push you away, and I should ask questions impartially. In the courtroom, keep your mouth shut!"

After Guo Wei said something, Murong Yanchao's face immediately turned darker, and he stared at him, almost turning his face on the spot.But he was dissuaded by Li Shaoyou in a low voice.

Guo Wei ignored him, rolled up his sleeves, and sat down.Taking a few breaths lightly, he scanned the inside and outside of the hall, picked up the gavel, and slapped it hard, with a "pop", the yamen servant on duty immediately sang intimidation, and the officers and people who were watching the trial were still clamoring outside to frighten him. Silence, in an instant, inside and outside the courtroom, there was silence.

"Bring Liu Xin!" Guo Wei's voice was steady.

Soon, Liu Xin was brought to the hall by two officials.Under the attention of all the people, Uncle Liu Huang was quite stylish at this time, with his hair hanging slightly, wearing ocher clothes, and his hands were in shackles, and the rubbing sounds between his activities clearly resounded inside and outside the hall.Overnight, his beard seemed to grow thicker, and his expression was calm, but his eyes became sharper.

"The emperor wants to tear off the face of me, Liu Xin, and show it to these untouchables, hehe." Glancing at the gate of the yamen, Liu Xin said disdainfully at the people he regarded as pigs and dogs, with an air of arrogance Reverse victory from the past.

Tightening the shackles between his wrists, Liu Xinxin looked at Guo Wei who was sitting in the court case, and seemed a little surprised: "Guo Wenzhong, are you here to interrogate me?"

"Why, can't I judge Cai Guogong?" Feeling Liu Xin's arrogance, Guo Wei's mind was peaceful.

"Why do you judge me?" Liu Xin said sternly, "Zhao Li accused me of ten serious crimes, why didn't the emperor judge me?"

Guo Wei cupped his hands in the direction of Xingzai, and said flatly: "By His Majesty's order, Duke Cai will be interrogated!"

Liu Xin smiled disdainfully.

Guo Wei is really a good-tempered character, he picked up the gavel and gave Liu Xin a slap, then turned slightly to his side, and glanced at him: "Cai Guogong, you have reached this point, and you still don't know how to restrain yourself? "

Feeling Guo Wei's unfriendly tone, Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, then laughed at the court, and turned to Guo Wei, very relaxed: "Okay! Aren't you going to interrogate me? Come on!"

"Don't worry! Here, there is a whole volume of Mr. Cai's crimes, so let's take it easy!" Guo Wei remained as still as a mountain.

Opening the booklet on the table in the hall, Guo Wei followed the first article and asked: "In the Mid-Autumn Festival in August of the first year of Qianyou, you hosted a banquet in the mansion and learned that His Majesty wiped out Li Ni in Hezhong. The merits of the officers and men. The officials of Xuzhou who are present are still in custody, and they can confront them in court."

"Don't be so troublesome! I admit it! I said it, a little Li Shouzhen needs to recruit a hundred thousand troops, and use up the treasury to ask for it? What's wrong with testifying against my nephew?" Liu Xin replied. Very simply, and folded his arms in his arms.

Guo Weilue was surprised, but he muttered: "Mr. Cai is so straightforward, and I don't talk too much. Let's continue."

After marking it on the crime book, Guo Wei continued to ask: "There is a wealthy Jia Ma family in Changshe City. On the seventh day of the sixth month of the first year of Qianyou, you sent a trilogy to destroy his family, take his wealth, and take his daughter. Now there is a suffering master. , Neighbors and Evil Parts as evidence"

"I can't remember, it's more than just one family that was destroyed by me." Liu Xin said indifferently: "Since you have found the sufferer and witnesses, then I admit it!"

Hearing his reaction, there was an uproar inside and outside the yamen hall.Murong Yanchao couldn't help scolding lightly: "Cai Guogong, don't answer indiscriminately!"

Liu Xin glanced at Murong Yanchao, but said nothing.

Guo Wei couldn't help but shrugged his brows. He was really surprised. According to his expectation, Liu Xindang tried his best to deny it.However, the result is that he recognized it so happily, and his attitude of pleading guilty is so arrogant and unscrupulous.

However, Guo Wei didn't care, he was only in charge of the trial, no matter what happened to Liu Xin, he just had to do his own thing.

Continue to read: "In the first year of Qianyou, on September [-]th, you led the crowd to hunt, chased rabbits in the wheat field, trampled on the crops, some farmers argued, and you ordered people to hold them, cut tendons, feet and tongues, and killed them. Sisters, beat and drive away the onlookers with poisonous whips."

"That lowly farmer, who didn't know how to live or die, stepped on a few acres of wheat fields? He even startled me, arguing in my ears. And his son, with a machete, wanted to fight me desperately! Why didn't he remember how to kill him? I still remember that I ordered someone to ride a horse and trampled him to death!" Liu Xin was very proud when he said this.

Hearing his words, Guo Wei's expression turned cold, he clenched his fists, and remained silent for a while before regaining his composure.

Pick up the pen and tick off, continue to question the crime.

This in-court interrogation soon turned into a question and answer between Guo Wei and Liu Xin, one by one, detailing the time, place, and circumstantial evidence of the incident.
Since the third quarter of the day, it was only at noon, and he took a short rest, and then asked questions until evening.

The sky was already dark, the inside and outside of the yamen hall were brightly lit, and everyone present was extremely exhausted.The jurors, Murong Yanchao, had already been pissed off by Liu Xin's "broken cans and smashed", and left the table. Only Li Shaoyou, Zhao Li and others were left sitting quietly on the side.

At the gate of the yamen, the people watching the trial changed one after another, but there were more and more people gathered.

"That's right, I did it. A little judge dares to tell me not to kill him. I feel uneasy. He has to thank me, at least he didn't touch his whole family!" Liu Xin sat cross-legged In the hall, it was obvious that he couldn't stand up anymore, and his tone became more and more irritable.

Guo Wei still sat upright, raised a pen, took a sip of tea, and continued: "The first year of Qianyou—"

"Enough!" Finally, Liu Xin couldn't take it anymore, and looked at Guo Wei with a tyrannical look: "Guo Wei, you have interrogated me for a day, how much of your booklet is left?"

Hearing this, Guo Wei raised his thick eyebrows, picked it up and shook it in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "Thank Mr. Cai for your cooperation, there are not many left."

"Heh!" Liu Xin laughed: "I never thought that I could accomplish so many things in one year!"

"You don't need to ask, you are not tired, I am tired! The rest, except rebellion, I will admit it!" Liu Xin said.

Liu Xin wanted to have a good time, but Guo Wei didn't care about it, and continued to follow the steps, ignoring Liu Xin's fierce gaze, and continued to speak: "The eighth day of December in the winter of the first year of Qianyou."
