Chapter 249 In Court

"Lord Qi, it was around the beginning of Si Shi. I was on duty in front of Wuwei Gate. I saw a group of people galloping towards me. I stopped them as usual. They claimed to be Rong people and did not have to abide by the rules of the Dasheng Dynasty. "

Yang Liang nodded and said, "Take the defendant."

Tuoba Tuo and his party were brought to the court. Tuoba Tuo felt a little frightened when he saw the momentum.

Thinking of what Yang Liang had said to him, he felt somewhat confident. He cupped his hands and saluted according to the etiquette of the Dasheng Dynasty:

"Beirong Tuoba Tuo, I have met the Lord."

Yang Liang said: "His Royal Highness Tuoba is the prince of the North. We cannot take him lightly. If someone comes, prepare a seat with His Highness."

Someone brought a chair over and placed it in the lobby. Tuoba Tuo sat down swaggeringly, believing Yang Liang's words even more.

It seems that what happened today is just a formality to give an explanation to the people of Dasheng.

Alas, I don’t know why officials of the Dasheng Dynasty always like to do such tricks.

In this case, let's act out a play with them.

"Shen Xiaoqu, do you recognize the person in front of you?" Yang Liang asked.

Shen Xiaoqu glanced at Tuoba Tuo and said, "Sir, he is the one galloping on the street, bumping into pedestrians, and even breaking out of the door."

Yang Liang turned to Tuoba Tuo again and said, "Your Highness Tuoba, what he said is the truth."

"That's right." Tuoba Tuo said carelessly, "It's natural for us soldiers to gallop on horseback. Why is it that in your great prosperity, you can't even ride a horse?"

"In other words, you confessed to the crime you committed."

Yang Liang slapped the crowd and said: "Come here, galloping your horse in the street and crashing into the city gate, what crime should you face?"

The scribe who was in charge of recording stood up and said: "Your Excellency, according to the laws of Dasheng, riding a horse in the street will be whipped, and rushing into the city gate is a serious crime. In the lightest case, it will be flailed in public, and in the worst case, it will be chopped off." Head."

"Be bold!"

Tuoba suddenly stood up and said, "How dare you!"

Princess Yushu and His Royal Highness Prince Fu were also surprised.

Could it be that Yang Liang wanted to take advantage of this trivial matter and hold Tuoba Yu down and give him a whip?

Yang Liang waved his hand: "Your Highness Tuoba, please be patient. These are the laws of the Great Sheng Dynasty. Regardless of whether the princes, nobles or common people commit crimes, they will be punished.

However, the law has no mercy, and His Highness is a guest after all, so we cannot neglect our distinguished guest. "

He turned to the scribe just now and said, "Are there no other ways to atone for sins?"

The scribe pondered for a moment and said: "There is indeed a way to pay the penalty in lieu of silver. If the offender's crime is not serious, he can donate a sum of silver and return it to the treasury to avoid the penalty."

Yang Liang's eyes lit up: "This is how it should be."

After a pause, he cleared his throat and said, "His Royal Highness Tuoba gallops on the street and disturbs pedestrians, which is not allowed by the law. Since this is your first offender, I will fine you one hundred taels of silver and exempt you from other punishments.

As for storming the city gate, there were only words but no actions, so the matter was written off. "

Yu Shu and His Royal Highness Prince Fu nodded frequently upon hearing this. Such a decision was the best. It not only saved the face of Dasheng Dynasty, but also took care of Tuoba Tuo's emotions. It can be said that it was the best of both worlds.

Princess Yushu looked at Yang Liang with a little more admiration. The Number One Scholar was very good at being a man. It was hard to say that he had already thought of a perfect strategy to solve this matter properly.

Tuoba Tuo also breathed a sigh of relief. I thought what would happen, but it turned out to be like this.

It seemed that Da Shengchao was just bluffing and did not dare to really take action against himself.

One hundred taels of silver was nothing to him, so he immediately had someone give him the silver.

At this time, the people who were watching were completely shocked.

"The No. 1 scholar was very aggressive, but the final result was exactly the same. He didn't dare to attack the Rong people at all, so he only fined him a hundred taels."

"One hundred taels, for the Rong people, is simply a drop in the bucket."

"In my opinion, it's not even a hair. The officials of the Dasheng Dynasty are all finished. They are all suffering from phobia."

"If it were me, I would definitely behead this soldier with a click." Not many people could squeeze into the yamen. As soon as the trial was concluded, someone immediately passed on the news.

The street was crowded with people, and it was a mess. Some people couldn't help but curse.

The street where the Metropolitan Procuratorate is located is where the government offices in the capital are concentrated, and many officials are paying attention to this case.

Seeing this scene, everyone shook their heads and secretly admired their foresight.

"I have already thought of it, it must be like this."

"No matter how he tries, he will end up trapping himself."

"Young!"

In the yamen, there were many princes and grandsons from neighboring countries. Seeing this scene, they also murmured secretly.

The attitude of the Dasheng Dynasty seems to be strong but weak. Perhaps, the behemoth Dasheng Dynasty no longer has the qualifications to sit in the Central Plains.

He is like an aging beast, his muscles gradually become weak, his teeth are no longer sharp, and his joints slowly age.

Yang Liang still sat firmly in the courtroom, waving his hand and asking someone to take Shen Xiaoqu away.

"Bring witnesses!"

A group of people were brought up from the back hall. They were none other than a group of people from Fengming Tower.

The madam was trembling. She usually welcomed people and sent them off, so she was well-informed, but she had never seen such a scene before.

As soon as he entered the hall, he felt that his knees were weak. He fell to his knees with a plop and said, "See you, sir."

"Don't be too polite. I'm asking you, who are you?" Yang Liang said.

When she saw His Royal Highness Prince Fu, the Madam Madam felt confident. She knelt on the ground, straightened her back, and said: "Master Qi, the name of the civilian girl is Sun Caihua. She is the steward of Fengming Tower. She is thirty-three this year." Years old, lives in Anping County, Huaixi..."

"Okay, okay, I'll point it out to you. Do you recognize this person in the hall?"

Sun Caihua quietly looked at Tuoba Tuo, and what greeted her was a ferocious face.

She was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and said, "The daughter of the people recognized him. That night, he beat Prince Fu's son to death in Fengming Tower."

"Humph!"

Tuoba Tuo snorted heavily.

"Your Highness Tuoba, can you plead guilty?" Yang Liang said.

"A good man does what a good man does, and my Highness dares to do what he does..."

"Wait a minute."

Tuoba Yu suddenly spoke, interrupting Tuoba Tuo's words. He looked directly at Yang Liang and said: "Our Highness has not committed any crime, so what crime does he admit to."

"Oh?" Yang Liang asked curiously, "So, you don't admit to killing anyone?"

"There was an attack, but it was not intentional, it was a mistake. Moreover, it was that person who took the initiative to attack my Highness. My Highness repeatedly tolerated it and only took action as a last resort."

Yang Liang narrowed his eyes, looked at the Madam, and said, "Is he telling the truth?"

The madam frowned and said, "I, I can't remember clearly."

Tuoba Yu was overjoyed in his heart and said: "Your Excellency, you should handle the case impartially. Since this witness can't remember what happened that night, why can he testify that His Highness is the murderer? If she can't remember one thing clearly, it's possible that she can't remember everything at all. clear."

"That makes sense."

Yang Liang nodded and said: "Sun Caihua, please carefully recall what happened at that time. Who made the move first, whether it was intentional or a mistake. This is the key to this case."
