Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 41 Oh my god!

Tian Yugong led hundreds of people to join Lianshun, and hundreds of people rushed towards Guangqi's house.

It was not yet dawn, and people on both sides of the street were still sleeping soundly. At this time, they were awakened directly by the soldiers and horses on the street.

This...what happened?

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers surrounded the alley of Guangqi's residence. Everyone in the house was captured indiscriminately, and no one was allowed to enter or exit the alley.

Then, Tian Yugong, the minister of Dali Temple, led hundreds of people to search the house.

No corner was spared, but nothing decent was found.

The underground secret room of Guangqi's house is considered secret to others, but to Dali Temple, it is completely child's play.

When the secret door was found, Prince Tian Yugong of Dali Temple was trembling with excitement.

Who among the serious people has the secret path?Who does the secret room?

There must be ghosts in here.

As a Dali Temple, the biggest fear is that nothing can be found.

Wouldn't that look incompetent in front of the emperor?
"Pry it open, I want to go down and check it myself!"

Then, the secret door was opened, and a group of people poured into Guangqi's secret room.

I started rummaging through the boxes and cabinets inside, and just a moment later, there was a sound of surprise.

"Sir, I found it, I found it!"

They also have merit indicators. Whoever finds something useful first will also be included in the assessment, which will have an impact on subsequent promotions.

Tian Yugong, Qing of Dali Temple, immediately stepped forward and took it for a look.

This is the account book. Guangqi made the war horses crazy, turned them into useless horses, and then sold them outside for personal gain.

This involves a large number of officials from Taipu Temple.

Next, more and more things were seized, including blackmail letters sent to Guangqi by anonymous officials in Taipu Temple.

In addition, there were secret messages from other conspirators to Guang Qi, saying that Su Quan seemed to be investigating the leak of Crazy Horse, and asked Guang Qi to be careful and try his best to deal with Su Quan.

There are also various recipes on how to temporarily make the war horse go crazy, but not be damaged.

There are even various experimental data.

Moreover, the paper and handwriting on these formulas are relatively old, and the handwriting is very good. They are not written by Guang Qi, but most likely by his father Ning Shou.

"Sir, this... although this case is not small, it is not big either." The young minister of Dali Temple next to him said in a low voice: "At least it won't be so high-profile that you will take action personally."

Tian Yugong was also a little confused.

Yes!

The amount of money involved in the case of the loss of horses from Taipus Temple was only a few thousand taels of silver per year at most, which was as high as tens of thousands of taels.

How could such a case alarm the emperor?And he also asked the Nine Admirals and the Minister of Dali Temple to come together?

Tian Yugong immediately racked his brains to think of the reason.

He could feel that this case was very important, and even related to his weight in the emperor's mind.

In the past two years, Tian Yugong was under great pressure. The emperor deposed Wo Ren from his title of Minister of Dali Temple and asked him to take his place.

Wo Ren was well-known and well-known, and had high prestige in Dali Temple.

Although Tian Yugong had the support of the emperor, he was still criticized in the yamen and his prestige was seriously lacking.

Finally, there is a major case that the emperor is concerned about, and we must make good use of it.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If done well, it will not only consolidate the saint's favor, but also establish prestige in the Yamen.

Tian Yugong, the time has come to test you.

You must think of going with the emperor, otherwise your future will be bad.

The only rule for promotion in officialdom is to speculate on the Sacred Heart.

Why would the emperor be so concerned about such a small war horse corruption case and send such a large force?

Think big, guess big!
Tian Yugong couldn't help but think of the emperor's slightly lame leg, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

He got it!

He got it!
Suddenly, Tian Yugong became excited.

Almost shaking all over.

Oh my gosh!This is a shocking case!

This was the first major case he came to as Minister of Dali Temple!
He completely understood what to say and what to do next.

Your Majesty, the time has come for me to serve you.

"Come here, pack up all the evidence without any damage and send it directly to the palace!"

"No one is allowed to approach the evidence, nor is it allowed to damage or exchange the evidence."

"Offenders will be shot to death!"

People around were shocked. Lord Tian Yugong, we know that your life in Dali Temple has not been easy in the past two years. You are looking forward to a big case every day, but there is no need to treat fly legs as ham.

For such a small case, you still have to be sent to the palace. Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?

"Quick, what are you still waiting for?!"

"quick!"

Tian Yugong urged, while thinking about words in his mind, how to deal with the emperor next.

You must, you must make this case a big one!

………………

At the same time, inside Shuntian Mansion.

Su He, Su Quan, and Bai Feifei have been detained in the hall.

As for Guangqi's wife Wanyan, as the plaintiff, she was on the other side of the lobby.

Su He was trembling all over, already full of fear, but he held his head high and held on.

Su Quan originally had a dull expression and angry eyes. After seeing his wife, he was completely panicked and kept saying: "Why are you here? Why are you here? Didn't the Queen Yibin protect you?"

Su Quan has been an official for several years and is no longer naive. He is ready for what will happen next. As long as his wife and mother are fine, he can feel at ease.

But his wife was also caught, and his defense was completely broken.

But now that my wife is here, where is Su Yi?Did he run away again?Are you still so cowardly and unable to take responsibility?
Standing on the other side were Niu Guanglu Guangqi's wife and son, and several servants kneeling, all appearing as witnesses.

On both sides of the lobby, there were two rows of government officials standing, holding thick fire and water sticks.

"The royal family has arrived!"

Everyone looked behind the door. Jia Zhen walked out and sat down in the court hall.

He glanced at Su He's family briefly, showing little interest.

Jia Zhen picked up the gavel, photographed it, and ordered the trial to begin.

Jia Zhen said sternly: "Ms. Bai, someone is accusing you and your family of murdering Niu Hulu and Guangqi yesterday. Do you have anything to say?"

Bai Feifei said: "Sir, I kicked Guangqi away yesterday, but he was not dead at the time. What's more, he tried to reach out to me, and I fought back. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, didn't I fight back? Right?"

Jia Zhen said: "If a woman feels her innocence is threatened, of course she can fight back. Do you have any witnesses?"

Bai Feifei said: "My father-in-law Su He and my husband Su Quan could see clearly that day."

Jia Zhen said: "According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, these are your family members and cannot testify for you."

Bai Feifei said: "It seemed that there were many people yesterday who could see clearly. There were no less than a hundred witnesses."

Jia Zhen said: "Call the witness!"

After a while, more than a dozen witnesses were brought to the court, and they were all indeed present yesterday.

Jia Zhen said: "Ms. Bai, were these people present when what happened yesterday?"

Of course Bai Feifei knew something was wrong, but she only had one thought in her mind.

Procrastination!

The longer the better.

She pretended to remember and identify them, and looked at them one by one.

Jia Zhen didn't want her to waste her time like this and said, "Do you know her or not?"

Bai Feifei said: "Yes, these people were all present yesterday."

Jia Zhen said: "Are you sure they are all present and can serve as witnesses?"

Bai Feifei said: "Yes, they are all present."

Jia Zhen said: "Did you see Guang Qi trying to reach out to molest Bai?"

The dozen or so witnesses present shook their heads and said, "No, not at all."

"Brother Guangqi is the most honorable man. How could he reach out and molest a woman in front of everyone?" "This witch is slandering the name of our banner people."

"Bai Feifei, you're afraid you might have made a mistake. It was Su Yi who reached out to touch you, not Guang Qi!"

Of course these people are talking nonsense. Not only did they see Guang Qi reach out to Bai Feifei with their own eyes yesterday, but many of them also tried to fish in troubled waters.

Jia Zhen was stunned and the whole place fell into silence.

"Wanyan said that yesterday her husband Guangqi went to Su He's house to ask for an explanation, but was kicked by Bai Feifei and vomited blood. Wanyan, do you have a witness?" Jia Zhen said.

Wanyan said: "Yes, there are many bystanders present, hundreds of them."

"Call witnesses!"

After a while, a dozen more people came in.

Suddenly, there were more than thirty witnesses present.

Jia Zhen said: "Did you all see clearly what happened yesterday?"

"Return to your lord, see clearly."

Jia Zhen said: "Do you know that perjury violates the laws of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Sir, it's clear, but if there is half a lie, there will be five thunders from the sky!"

Jia Zhen said: "Did you see Bai Feifei kick Guang Qi away yesterday? Su He, Su Quan, Su Yi and his son surrounded Guang Qi?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"All the men saw it, and hundreds of people could see it clearly. Su Quan was holding a stick, Su He was slashing with a knife, Bai Shi kicked Guang Qi's brother away, and after he vomited blood, Su Yi rushed over and took it directly The dagger was pressed against Guangqi’s neck.”

The document next to it records all this in detail.

"As witnesses, are you willing to sign and stamp the confession?" Jia Zhen said.

"My lord, I will!"

"If you wish, Guangqi can't die in vain!"

"Kill for life, kill for life!"

More than thirty witnesses signed their names and pressed their fingerprints on the confession.

Jia Zhen said: "Wanyan, please tell me in detail what happened after your husband brought me home."

Wanyan cried and said: "My husband was carried home around noon. I called him to eat, but he said he felt sick in his heart and couldn't eat after two bites. I helped him lie down on the bed, and then he started vomiting blood. , I kept saying that my heart hurt, and I quickly asked someone to call the doctor, but less than half an hour later, he was gone and he vomited half a basin of blood."

"Sir, my husband-in-law died miserably. Please ask Mr. Qingtian to make the decision."

"Before he died, my husband-in-law said that the people who killed him were Su He's family!"

"Please ask Mr. Qingtian to make the decision."

Jia Zhen said: "Pass it to the doctor, pass it on to the widow, and bring up Guangqi's body!"

After a while, the doctor who rushed to treat Guangqi yesterday and the widower of Shuntian Mansion came to the court together.

The other two government officials carried Niu Hulu Guangqi's body up.

Jia Zhen said: "Mr. Zhong, when you went there, were you sure Guang Qi was dead?"

The doctor said: "Sir, he is already dead."

Jia Zhen said: "According to your judgment, what is the cause of death?"

The doctor said: "He was hit hard on the chest and suffered fatal internal injuries to his heart, so he vomited blood and died."

Jia Zhen said: "Wu Zuo, you dissected Guang Qi's body. What results did you get?"

Wu Zuo said: "Sir, you can clearly see that there are obvious bruises on the heart of the deceased's chest, and there are signs of broken ribs on the chest. After anatomy, there are many damaged blood vessels in the heart. So it is very obvious that this is He was hit hard in the heart and died of severe internal injuries."

Next, the doctor and Wu Zuo signed and stamped their respective testimonies.

Jia Zhen's face turned cold and he said sternly: "Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, what else do you have to say, Mrs. Bai?"

Mu Ningzhu and Guanglu, who were observing secretly, felt extremely happy.

This is what hunting feels like.

The kind that tramples the prey underfoot, unable to survive or die, but does not kill it, but gradually plays with it.

Being weak is the original sin, being weak and wealthy is the worst sin among sins.

Looking at the beautiful Bai Feifei, Guang Lu and Mu Ningzhu were salivating.

It won't be long before this woman belongs to him.

Above the court, Jia Zhen of Shuntian Prefecture said in a cold voice.

"Su He, Su Quan, Bai, can you plead guilty?"

Su He and Su Quan looked desperate. They felt that this was completely irrefutable and there was no possibility of turning over.

Even they themselves felt that Guangqi was kicked to death by Bai Feifei.

Only Bai Feifei remained silent.

Her purpose is very simple, to delay time and do everything possible to delay it.

I simply cannot admit guilt.

"Ms. Bai, can you plead guilty?" Jia Zhen raised his voice.

Bai Feifei said: "I don't plead guilty!"

Jia Zhen said in a cold voice: "The evidence is irrefutable. How dare you not plead guilty?"

Bai Feifei said: "How can this be called irrefutable evidence? These witnesses are completely Guangqi's friends, and their testimony does not count. I kicked Guangqi, but it was just a self-defense counterattack. Who can prove that I Kicked him to death, maybe he was murdered after returning home?"

Jia Zhen immediately felt Bai Feifei's difficulty and said angrily: "Ms. Bai, I'm telling you that if you plead guilty in court, I can give you a lighter sentence and sentence you to manslaughter."

"I think you are also decent people, and you are from a distant clan, so I don't want to be punished. It would be disrespectful."

"But my patience is limited. If you don't have dignity, then don't blame me for not giving you dignity."

"I don't believe that under torture, you still dare to mess around!"

At this time, Jia Zhen just wanted to complete the process in the shortest possible time.

This Bai Feifei is so beautiful, no wonder Guang Lu and Mu Ningzhu are salivating, so Jia Zhen really doesn't want to be punished.

Wouldn't it be a waste of nature to destroy this beautiful woman?

But if you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Immediately, he picked up the signing token and threw it down: "Come here, torture the suspect!"

The so-called torture means pinching the fingers.

Qianqianyu's hand was pinched like this, and it was absolutely painful.

Bai Feifei gritted his teeth and prepared to be punished. He would delay the punishment for as long as he could, but he would never plead guilty anyway.

But Su Quan rushed forward: "I am willing to be tortured on your behalf!"

After saying that, he stopped directly in front of his wife.

Jia Zhen said angrily: "You have your punishment, how can there be an alternative? Give Bai a punishment!"

At this time, the deputy general eunuch Zenglu, who had been watching in secret for a long time and not allowing anyone to enter, suddenly coughed.

He was ordered by the emperor to stop the trial, but the emperor had another intention. Let's not stop it and test Jia Zhen's quality. Now it seems that something is wrong with Jia Zhen. Why are you in such a hurry?Do you want to kill someone quickly and silence them?

He was about to surrender.

He suddenly shouted: "There is an oracle!"

Jia Zhen was stunned. Is there an oracle at this time?

what's going on?
Then, he walked down to the court and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Jia Zhen, respectfully send you holy greetings!"

Deputy Chief Eunuch: "Holy Holy Gong!"

Then, the deputy chief eunuch said loudly: "The Holy Father ordered Jia Zhen to stop hearing the case at hand and immediately go to the palace to see him. All the defendants and related persons present are under house arrest in the Shuntian Mansion. No one is allowed to approach."

At this time, Jia Zhen's heart trembled, why on earth is this?

Oh my god?What happened?Did he alert the emperor?
However, there was no room for him to say no at this time.

Suddenly, Jia Zhen kowtowed: "I accept the decree!"

At this time, Su He and Su Quan were extremely happy, but they were also confused.

what happened?Why did you stop?
Did the emperor suddenly summon Jia Zhen for something, or was the emperor paying attention to this case?
No way?How could such a small case alarm the emperor?
Only Bai Feifei beside him was ecstatic.

She knew that Su Yi succeeded.

Boy, did he pull it off.
