Dayong Nu sentenced to death

"You don't know anyone yet?"

Suddenly there was a voice in the ear, Su Rao looked sideways at Lu Heng unexpectedly, Lu Heng smiled and said: "They are in high positions and are used to bossing around, how can they put down their dignity to deal with a newcomer, don't worry, Yan Heqing and I It was the same when I first entered the court.”

"These old guys rely on their seniority and seniority, and always want to overwhelm others. After all these years, their bad habits have not changed."

Su Rao listened to them start discussing about the interrogation of Li Mi, distractedly while listening, teased: "Do you still have to endure this?"

"Why don't you use it? The most indispensable thing in the officialdom is the person who is obedient and obedient, and those who have no ability have been dragged down long ago."

Lu Heng pulled the corners of his mouth playfully, and pretended to be deep and said: "Anyway, this young master endured the humiliation and kept a low profile for many years to earn his current situation.

"That was really hard work, Brother Lu."

Su Rao said casually, she believed his nonsense...

Lu Heng saw that she was paying attention to the movement in the field, so he introduced to her: "Did you see those two people who were arguing? The one with the gray beard is Tang Zefang, the imperial historian, and the other one you should know, Shaoqing of Dali Temple Kong Jiang."

"Sitting next to Tang Zefang from near to far is Zou Changsong, the censor of Taiyuan, and Shi Yinglong, the censor of Taiyuan. Opposite them are the people you will work with in the future."

"From the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

Su Rao followed his words and quickly remembered the people, and then asked.

Lu Heng rubbed his fingers lightly, and nodded casually: "There is a vacancy in the position of minister. At present, all affairs of the criminal department are temporarily handled by the servant Fu Xian. Next to him is Song Xun, the head of the criminal department. He is a well-known prisoner."

"When Mr. Su was imprisoned, he contributed a lot of energy."

Speaking of Su Fengyan, hearing Fu's surname, and this Song Xun...Su Rao's heart seemed to be tightened suddenly, and the colic pain spread from the chest and abdomen to the throat accompanied by a suffocating feeling.

She didn't know what Lu Heng's intention was for pointing out Song Xun's matter, but her murderous intent and anger that had been silent for a long time were ready to move at this moment.

Su Rao clenched her fists tightly, resisting the turbulent emotions, but she didn't show anything on her face, she said with a half-smile: "Really, then his hands must be very powerful, I must see them someday."

Lu Heng looked at her without a trace, "Your endurance is better than I imagined. Song Xun is just a small thing, and he can clean it up at any time, but you have to be more careful when walking in the Ministry of Punishment. Everything is decided before you move."

Yan Yun also told her this.

Su Rao temporarily suppressed her restless thoughts and looked at him, "Brother Lu is just here to remind me of this?"

"Yes."

"Your Majesty ordered the three judges to discuss matters. As the Minister of Rites, why did you appear here?"

she asked casually.

The two deliberately lowered their voices to speak, so they got very close. To outsiders, it seemed like they were whispering in their ears. No one noticed that the pale eyes of the eldest son had darkened...

Lu Heng noticed it, but Quan Dang didn't see it, and explained with a smile: "This time the scientific examination broke the rules, and the follow-up matters need to be followed up by the Ministry of Rites. These will all have to be decided at trial.”

"Then why are you here? Where is the Minister of Rites?"

For such a big case, as the head of the Ministry of Rites, it is really unreasonable not to show up.

Lu Heng said in a cool tone: "He, and the other examiners of this palace examination are all being detained in the palace to await trial."

The topic of the palace examination was determined by His Majesty one day in advance, and then handed over to the examiner to seal it up. During this period, only they and His Majesty knew the content of the exam.

Now that they leaked questions and cheated, they were naturally the first to be convicted.

Su Rao seemed to have realized something, she didn't speak any more, just thinking about these things, she suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not right, when she raised her eyes, she suddenly found that everyone in the hall was looking at them.

Lu Heng propped his jaw with one hand, and pretended to be surprised: "Oops, I was discovered."

Anyone could hear the strong smile and playfulness in his voice.

At this time, no one cares about Lu Heng's rudeness, one of them said: "Since Li Mi was arrested and brought to justice by Mr. Su, and you were the first to interrogate him, didn't you ask who is behind the scenes?"

Yushitai, the Ministry of Justice, and Kong Jiang had been arguing for a long time about who would interrogate.

This fraud case is a great shame to the court.

But for them, it's nothing more than an opportunity.

Whoever can find the truth first will have a chance to stand out in front of His Majesty.

Dali Temple refused to release people, and Yushitai wanted to torture them to extract a confession.

The result of the final negotiation was that each of the three divisions had one person.

Simultaneous interrogation.

In order to prevent someone from using excessive punishment to find out the truth, Li Mi was killed.

Even so, they were still worried, fearing that she would have the same intention to get a share of the pie, and wanted to get more detailed clues from her.

After all, she was able to catch Li Mi, which shows that she has some real skills.

Facing this interrogation, Su Rao replied calmly: "What I found out was only related to the murder case of Mr. Xu. Regarding the imperial examination case, it happened that Li Mi killed himself by betting on the topic. , no one leaked the secret."

"The question?"

Song Xun sneered, "Do you also believe such a ridiculous reason?"

Su Rao glanced at him sharply. For some reason, when Song Xun met that gaze, it seemed that someone had suddenly strangled his throat and was speechless.

She said: "The night Li Mi killed Mr. Xu, his cousin Li Cheng was also in the bamboo house. Li Cheng accidentally learned of Li Mi's fraud, and he used this as a threat to force Li Mi to try to redeem a girl from the planting flower shop."

"The girl's confession mentioned that Li Cheng came to her drunk and mentioned a certain 'big shot', but she didn't say who it was."

"The only people he met that night were Xu Chen and Li Mi. Xu Chen is impossible. Li Mi is the only one left. He has no money and no power, so he can't deserve this title. After careful calculation, maybe only the people behind him."

Is the person behind him the same as the person who leaked the question to him?

Then it is unknown.

"Everyone is in my hands, but I haven't asked yet."

Song Xun didn't say much, just sneered twice, his words were full of contempt and contempt, "If this kind of prisoner is in the hands of our Ministry of Punishment, it will take less than a quarter of an hour to get a confession."

His voice was sharp and pointed.

A cold light flashed across Yan Yun's eyes, and when he was about to speak out, Su Rao chuckled, "Yes, under heavy punishment, Mr. Song can't get any confession he wants, and he can't point out whoever he wants to point out."

Her words were clearly to blame.

It is said that Song Xun's methods are harsh, he controls the prison at will, uses power for personal gain, and excludes dissidents.

"Su Rao!"

Song Xun patted the table and stood up, angrily said: "You have to be responsible for your own words, the severity of punishment and prison, how can it be such a joke, you are really..."

"False accusation? Didn't Master Song say it himself? It doesn't even take two quarters of an hour to get a testimony. I thought that in your heart, a confession is more important than the truth. If you only need a confession, then why do you adults sit here and waste it?" time?"

Su Rao smiled calmly, "Also, the Shangguan is here, Mr. Song is slapping the table and flaunting his power. Whose fault is this?"
