Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 496 Things are coming to an end

Long Duan was promoted.

The sergeants on both sides stood with guns, and everyone came in with Zhu Gaochi arched. His Highness sat down first, and the people took their seats in order according to their ranks, from Yang Xu to Zheng Ci, and then Xue Pin.

Before Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Ying came, everyone sat down and served tea. After waiting for a while, Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Ying hurried over.They stepped into the lobby, and when they were about to walk to their seats, they were suddenly taken aback, feeling a little weird.After a closer look, I realized that the position had changed. There were only two desks in the hearing position, one on the left and one on the right, which belonged to the two princes respectively, and the next position was the position of the three judges.

Now it seems that the cases of the judges have increased, so that the presiding judge, the hearing, and the judges have formed a semi-enclosed structure for the entire court.Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Ying took a closer look and couldn't help being surprised.Zhu Gaoxu pointed at Yang Xu, and said in surprise, "Yang Xu...why is he still in the hall?"

At this time, Zheng He, who was sitting on the outermost side, stood up, smiled modestly at Zhu Gaoxu, and said: "Because the case of Shuangyu Wei Tongwa is related to the case of Fu Guogong, now Fu Guogong has been wronged. The emperor authorized Duke Fu to hear the trial together with the two highnesses. The slaves have been ordered by the emperor to come and have a look, so that they can explain the result of this matter to the emperor when they go back."

"Ah, Eunuch Zheng is here too? The original nose is like that, then... Eunuch Zheng, please sit down!"

Others don't know, but as a prince, Zhu Gaoxu knew that the eunuchs who waited by his father's side were like his father's relatives, and they were extremely favored, so he gestured to him with a more polite tone.Then, his eyes that didn't show any inner emotions and anger looked at Xia Xun again. Xia Xun sat there, smiling and bowing to him, very kindly, just like how he usually looks when he sees him.

Zhu Gaoxu also smiled, nodded to Xia Xun again, and walked to his place.

His expression and demeanor are impeccable, he looks very indifferent, the jade pendant around his waist is stable, and the sleeves of his robe are not swaying at all, but Xia Xun's eyes fell on his official shoes, and the corner of his mouth was pulled upwards, a half-smile .

Black satin thick-soled soap boots, the soles of which are very elastic and comfortable to wear. These are official boots exclusively for officials in Jinling's "Wujintang".Every time Zhu Gaoxu stepped on the ground, the sole of the boot would sink deeply, and then regain its elasticity.I don't know how much effort Zhu Gaoxu used to suppress all the anger in his body and not vent it.

Xia Xun smiled faintly, and when you looked back, he suddenly saw Zhu Gaochi's gaze was also on his younger brother's boots, with a smile that was not a smile, and he couldn't help laughing.

Everyone praises Zhu Xiaopang for his generosity and benevolence. His generosity and benevolence are obviously different from Zhu Yunfen's hypocritical benevolence and righteousness, but they are also different from the traditional sense of generosity and benevolence.It seems that when people talk about generosity, benevolence and righteousness, they become synonymous with being honest and careless, but Zhu Gaochi is obviously not. His temper and mind may be very generous, but this person is by no means an honest person in the traditional sense.

The royal family does not produce honest people, nor can it produce honest people.It is impossible for such an honest person to guard the local government organized in the name of rebellion by the imperial court, and manage Beiping, Yongping, Zhending and other places for four consecutive years without any mistakes, so that his father can have no worries The land charges forward and conquers the world.

Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Ying took their seats and looked around the hall. At this time, the balance of power in the courtroom clearly favored Zhu Gaochi's side.

Zheng He only brought a pair of eyes and a pair of ears today. He only listened and watched, and he would not express any opinions. However, when the overall situation was already in Yang Xu's favor, sitting here to watch the battle was equivalent to being sent by the emperor to Yang Xu. The person on Xu's side is gone, he doesn't need to be sideways, just sitting there is enough to deter anyone who wants to cheat.

Master Xue who was sitting on the wall sat there, looked left and right, and made up his mind.

Can't he see which side the current situation should fall to?

"Snapped!"

The person being interrogated was not the Duke of the state, so Long Juan gained confidence, and the gavel slapped crisply and resoundingly.

"Come on, people...bring the suspect Xu Hu and others and a group of witnesses to the court!"

He obviously remembered Xia Xun's teachings, at least in front of Xia Xun, the suspect was the suspect, and he would no longer be called a criminal.

Xu Hu and Wang Yuxia were brought up to the hall.Wang Yuxia was shackled and fettered all over. A big man with magnificent and strong bones looked very haggard, obviously he had been tortured a lot in prison.It was even worse for Xu Hu, his eyes and cheeks were deeply sunken, his face was bleak, his face was covered by a messy beard, and his thin face could no longer be seen as the brave and brave man on Shuangyu Island. The first hero.

The two of them will definitely suffer in prison.

Xu Hu was shot, Luo Yu couldn't just sit back and watch this important person die, so he had to find a doctor to treat him, but it was limited to the rescue and treatment at that time, after that, no matter in terms of medicine or diet, he was no different from ordinary prisoners .In other words, he didn't die at the time after being shot, Luo Yu couldn't let him die, but he wished to torture him to the brink of death, hand him over to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and die under the joint custody of the Ministry of Punishment and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies Lose.

Injured on the battlefield, the wound is difficult to heal, and the vitality is gradually dying, so he dies of illness, which is related to him.

But this Xu Hu has a good foundation, and he has not died until today, but he is really dying now. After today's trial, if he loses the lawsuit, he must die; if he wins, I don't know if he can survive. Get over it.

When Xia Xun saw the situation of the two of them, the circles of his eyes immediately turned red.Through the investigation of Submarine Dragon, he already knew the current situation of these two people, but it was one thing to hear it, and another thing to see it with his own eyes.But now he can only bear with it and try to control his emotions. Now is not the time for an outbreak. Xu Hu's injustice case will be overturned, relying on real evidence, not hysterical roaring.

At the same time, he also needs to capture fighter opportunities at any time and inflict greater damage on the opponent as much as possible.

This is not a personal grievance, but a struggle between two forces. The best way to retaliate is to try to destroy the enemy's relationship and connections, weaken their power, and maximize the opportunity... So... Calm down, be sure to stay calm .

Wang Yuxia looked coldly at the officials in the hall, and in the depths of those ice-like eyes, there was fire-like anger hidden. Suddenly, when he saw Xia Xun sitting on it, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly recalled Come on, take a step forward, kneel down on both knees, without saying a word, tears have flowed down: "Duke, I am wronged by my humble position, I am wronged!"

"Wang Yuxia, the princess of this country is not the chief judge!"

Xia Xun said something business-like first, then glanced to the side, and said: "Today's presiding judge is Mr. Long, the Judge of the Military Commander's Mansion, and the side judges are Mr. Zheng, Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Mr. Xue, Minister of Dali Temple. Your case has already been heard by the heavens, the emperor attaches great importance to this case, and sent the First Prince, Second Prince, the Duke of this country, and Eunuch Zheng of the inner prison to hear the trial together to ensure that the trial of this case is fair and clean!"

Xia Xun said: "So, don't worry, get up, if you have any grievances, just tell the presiding judge, right and wrong, there will always be a conclusion today!"

How clear are these words, although Wang Yuxia has never read a book, he can hear the meaning of these words, he didn't know that Fu Guogong was also in prison when he was in prison, and he had just been cleared of his charges.He thought that today's luxurious lineup was all created by Fu Guogong to appeal for their grievances. He was so grateful, kowtowed again, and then stood up and walked aside.

Xu Hu was carried up, and now he was so angry that he couldn't speak at all, but his strong will was hanging on his life, and he must see the result with his own eyes.Obviously, there is no retrial for this person, so Wang Yuxia had to defend the defendant alone.This time, there were three people on the accusation side, a hundred households sent by Guanhaiwei, a soldier of Luo Yu, and now one of the suspects who framed the Duke of Taicang, Ren Jian.

Ren Jian came up wearing shackles and shackles. Seeing this situation in the eyes of the two officers, they were startled immediately, and their expressions became a little flustered.

The case was opened, and the evidence provided by Luo Yu included the flag of the ship, the corpse of the Japanese, and these generals who were witnesses to the beginning and end of the war.

As soon as the trial of the case started, the public said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right, and fell into a stalemate.

According to these military academies, Shuangyuwei colluded with Japanese pirates to attack Guanhaiwei at night. They didn't know it in advance, and they didn't rush to fight until Guanhaiwei's water camp was breached. It was discovered that the enemy actually used Shuangyu Guard as the main force, colluding with Japanese pirates to attack the Navy Dazhai.

On the other hand, Wang Yuxia's side insisted that they had received Luo Yu's transfer order and rushed to Taihaiwei to wait for instructions and dispatch from the officials of Beijing Central Committee, but they couldn't get it out when they asked them for Luo Yu's transfer order.

This point is indeed a mistake of the Shuangyu Guards. They were originally just a group of pirates. soldiers, and the island has been trying its best to rule the island according to the soldiers, but it will not follow the example of the army, and what orders are used when mobilizing troops.

The so-called military management is mainly about daily training and military discipline during battles. When pirates mobilize their troops, they only need to send a cronies to inform them: "Second master, the boss told you to take our troops to Dahengshan immediately, and attack the Chumi gang." Let’s grab the territory!” It’s over, so they didn’t have the consciousness at all, and asked the people sent by Luo Yu for a transfer order.

For a long time, people gave him orders or arrows, and he just kept them, and let it go if he didn’t give them. He didn’t even realize that this was a necessary thing.

However, although this point is greatly disadvantageous to Shuangyu Wei, Xia Xun has been on the right track just now.When he brought up the strangeness of the timing of the incident, everyone present at the time heard it. How could the Long Duan incident stop at this moment.

Long Duanshi cheered up and stared at Guanhaiwei's Baihu

"Who was the first to discover that the Japanese pirates and the Shuangyu Guards teamed up to attack the camp that night?"

"Reporting to my lord, it is the next official."

"It was late at night, why were you in the village?"

"Return to your lord, it is the lower official who is on duty that night!"

"Oh? You said that the Japanese pirates and the Shuangyu Guards teamed up to attack the water village. Why did you capture more than 4000 officers and soldiers of the Shuangyu Guards, while the Japanese pirates only had 300 people? Why is there such a huge difference? Dead, no one alive?"

"My lord, the Japanese do evil in the sea and do a lot of evil. The fathers and villagers of my navy officers and soldiers are all in the local area, and they have suffered a lot from them, so they hate the Japanese to the bone. It's not that we haven't caught the Japanese pirates alive. It's just that once the Japanese pirates are captured alive, they will be killed immediately. They will be beaten to death by the soldiers to vent their anger. When we find out that these are important witnesses and want to stop them, it is too late.

As for the small number of Japanese, it is because this group of Japanese pirates is less than that of the Shuangyu Guards, and their ships are far less sturdy than the battleships of the Shuangyu Guards. It must be in time, so there are not many catchers! "

"Okay, you said you were on duty that night, and the official came to ask you, who was on duty the night before you were on duty, and who was on duty the night after you were on duty, time, name, tell me quickly!"

"Returning to my lord, the day before the next official duty was December 25th, and Wang Jinglue and Wang Baihu were on duty that night; the day after the next official duty was the 27th, and Zheng Wei and Zheng Baihu should be on duty that night !"

"Above the court, you are not allowed to gossip!"

"Your Excellency, the words of the lower officials are all true!"

When Ren Jian heard it, his heart twitched: "It's over, it's over, this kid is also over! Now it's really all over!"

Long Duanshi laughed out loud, delighted.This is the questioning technique he learned from Xia Xun when he was setting up in the morning. Now that he tried it, it really worked, and Long Duan was a little smug for a while.

In the morning, he noticed that Duke Fu would talk a lot of nonsense when interrogating prisoners.He obviously didn't want to know, so he had to ask a bunch of miscellaneous questions. When the other party's thinking was about to lose track of him, and he had no time to think about other things, Duke Fu would suddenly ask the question he really wanted to know. I have already answered smoothly, almost without thinking about blurting it out.

Long Duan learned what he learned and put it into practice, and achieved great success.

Since these witnesses were brought in this morning, they waited in different interrogation rooms in the trial hall until they were arraigned. There were too many people guarding them. The Metropolitan Procuratorate and other different yamen, they were trapped in that room tightly, although there was no collusion between them, and no one outside had the ability to pass any news in.

Therefore, the Hundred Household Officer of Guanhaiwei did not know at all that in the morning, Ren Jian, the school captain of Taicang Wei, was questioned by Fuguo Gong Yang Xu and was speechless. At this moment, his words once again confirmed Ren Jian's words, Long Duan Then he slapped the gavel, and said Xia Xun Shangqian's questioning again. When the hundred households heard it, they were like five thunderbolts, unable to answer.

Long Duan re-examined Ren Jian. Ren Jian is now a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water. He killed him because he misremembered the time. The time when Taicang Wei received the order to go to sea was not the 27th, but the 28th.No matter how you ask, Ren Jian will not change his words, the matter is at a standstill here, it seems that the only way to tell the truth is to send people to Taicangwei to retrieve their archived military orders.

Immediately, Zhu Gaoxu had a glimmer of hope, and thought: "If the trial is temporarily suspended, maybe there is time to re-concoct a military order...

As soon as he thought of this, he heard a commotion outside, Long Duanshi was furious, slapped the gavel, and shouted: "Who is making noise in the hall!"

Before the words were finished, a man strode in, wearing thick soap-soled boots, wearing a kiphosn official uniform, and a black gauze hat with silk black lacquer forehead and eyebrows inlaid with jade on his head. Get up, eat and eat authentically: "Ah! Commander Xu!"

Dingguo Duke Xu Jingchang ignored him, just bowed his hands to the two princes, and said with a smile: "My minister Xu Jingchang, I have seen His Royal Highness and His Second Highness. I came to the yamen today to ask questions. I accidentally saw someone crying for grievances at the door. I asked Under the circumstances, it is actually related to the case being tried today, so I brought it here."

A bunch of people rushed in from outside, the first one was Li Tianhen who had been hiding in Xia Xun's house!

The third change is [-], ask for a monthly pass!
