Jinyi Night Walk

"Who are these people?  …

Chen Ying is not an idiot, seeing so many people rushing in, how can he believe that they are all for something and went to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to complain, where is the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion?Just beside the imperial road not far from the main entrance of the imperial palace, there is such a mixed group of soldiers and civilians, some old and some young, among them there are several people tied up in the team, and there is no one who can hold them with them. Is there a chance to come here?

He immediately stood up, his face sank, and he shouted: "Bold! The Shuangyu Wei Tongwo case is being tried here. What a solemn place, can any cat or dog break into it? You are so brave, how dare you You tricked Commander Xu and sneaked into the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies with clever words, come here, throw them all out!"

"laugh!"

There was a chuckle beside him, and Xia Xun said: "Resident Chen Du, you have such a great official authority! There are His Royal Highness, Second Highness, and Eunuch Zheng who represent the emperor to hear the trial. Have you checked the matter clearly and clearly? Since you have clues, you should listen.

"This king..."

"That's right! Tell them to stay. If it's not any relevant witnesses, but deliberately causing trouble, it won't be too late to take them down and punish them. Eunuch Zheng, what do you think?"

Zhu Gaoxu had just said "my king", but Zhu Xiaopang had already spoken first.Don't look at his slow movements, but his speech is not slow. Zheng He was smiling, and he couldn't see that he had a superb martial arts at all. He said slowly: "This matter is still decided by the presiding officer. The servant is obedient to the emperor. Just listen to the trial and only want to Listen to a clear and clear result, and it will be played back to the emperor!"

Long Duanshi didn't understand what they meant when he heard it, he hurried down the donkey and said: "Who are you guys, tell me your name!"

Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth and swallowed the words.

After Xu Jingchang lived a lifetime, he laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I have nothing to do here, Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm telling you..."

Xia Xun stood up and cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Ding, go slowly!"

Zheng Ci, Xue Pin and others also stood up one after another. Xu Jingchang waved his hands and went out.

The situation in the hall suddenly changed. Li Tianhen, as the leader of this group of new witnesses, stood at the front and made an impassioned statement.This guy is just a pirate, and his speech is not very organized. Xia Xun's people have worked hard to train him, and now it finally came in handy.According to his own statement, as a person close to General Xu Hu, he was the first to enter the Guanhaiwei naval division camp with General Xu's main ship.Such and such, it is nothing more than another general who refuses to plead guilty to the rebellious army, which has nothing to do with the overall situation.But when he changed his words, the next words were different.Li Tianhen said: "As soon as General Xu saw the trick, he immediately pushed the last general into the sea, saying: ... Find evidence, report to the court, and seek justice! The last general did not dare to disobey orders, so he had to use his excellent water quality to escape all the way. , In the early morning of the next day, we escaped from the Guanhaiwei naval division camp and ran into a few Shuangyu soldiers who had fled, so we changed into civilian clothes and hid.

We searched for news everywhere, and saw that Guan Haiwei had cut off the heads of our brothers and Japanese pirates, and hung them on high poles for public display. It was heartbreaking.We know that since Luo Yu, Ji Wenhe and others framed our general and shirked responsibility for the failure of the Japanese suppression, they must have worked hard.If we can't find real evidence, we can't save General Xu and General Wang, but what evidence can we find.

Later, our whereabouts were arrested everywhere by Guanhaiwei officers and soldiers who were chasing us all the way. When we fled in a hurry, we happened to meet a group of Japanese pirates who went ashore to rob us. We took the opportunity to hide, and the officers and soldiers met Japanese pirates. Right on, two fights started, and I didn't care about waiting.In the end, when they were both wounded and the officers and soldiers retreated, we took the opportunity to rush out and catch a few bandits who were left alone when they retreated. These are the few people! "

As soon as Li Tianhen waved his hand, those big men pushed up a few little kengzi, those little dwarfs were really fierce, and they were still cursing non-stop after falling to this stage, Li Tianhen slapped him with a big mouth In the past, this hand was also so big that it almost covered the face of the Japanese man, and then shouted: "You are only Baga! Your whole family is Baga! Your ancestors have been Baga for eight generations! Tell me everything you know, and I will let you You cut your belly, or cut off your Qiqiu, and see if your Amaterasu will let you go to heaven!"

This threat is really more effective than anything else, the hunchback did not scold as expected, but just as he babbled a few times, Li Tianhen slapped him with a big mouth again, cursing: "Your grandma, speak Chinese, I know you bastards can speak Chinese!"

The hunchback stared at him viciously, then straightened his chest, and said proudly: "You guys, what do you want to ask?"

Li Tianhen said: "I see the heads of Japanese pirates hanging on the poles of the Haiwei Marine Division. Do you have any partners?"

The Japanese said proudly: "That's right, that's our people. We robbed the three mountains. Your Daming army has ten times as many troops. We have no choice but to retreat! However, we only died a few people. What can you do?" Not us!"

Li Tianhen glanced at the officials sitting above, and asked deliberately: "Was the Japanese hanging on the pole killed in Sanshan?"

The Japanese said: "That's right, at the location of the three mountains, many Ming troops came, so we had no choice but to retreat, and we retreated on our own initiative!"

Chen Ying couldn't hold back anymore, and quickly said: "People are similar, not to mention that after death, the appearance of a person will change, especially after being drowned in lime, it is even more difficult to identify, and it may not be the corpse of a hunchback that was moved from Sanshan. What's more, today's trial is the crime of Shuangyu Guard's communication with the Japanese. The Shuangyu Guard's defeated soldiers brought a few Japanese. How can they rely on what they say? How can they know that it is not the Japanese who want to keep the leader of Shuangyu Guard who is of great use to them? , Send a few dead men to take the blame? This kind of thing is not impossible."

Li Tianhen was furious when he heard this, and cursed: "You dog official! You fart! You go and catch some Japanese people and let him take the blame for you!"

Chen Ying slapped the table and shouted: "Bold, you dare to roar in court and insult this official? Come on, drag him down first, and hit the Forty Army again..."

Xia Xun said slowly: "Wait! Master Chen, I'm afraid people will be killed if these forty army sticks go down. In my opinion, it's better to send the forty army sticks and deal with the case after the trial is over? After all... ...The things that the emperor cares about are important, don't you think?"

Chen Ying was furious, but Xia Xun brought out two princes in front of the emperor and an eunuch next to the emperor. He really didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he gritted his teeth and sat down.

Long Duanshi said quickly: "What's your name? Are you from a hundred households around Xu Hu? We will use your statement and the witnesses you have captured as an important piece of evidence for reference.

Besides, do you have any other evidence, if not, step aside for now! "

Li Tianhen hurriedly said: "My lord, we still have a witness!"

"Oh? Quickly call witnesses!

Having said this, Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Ying became nervous again.

Li Tianhen immediately turned around, and personally helped a trembling old man to come forward, followed by several people, including men and women, old and young dragons! "Who are these people?"

Li Tianhen said seriously: "These are all witnesses, including the people near Taicangwei, the people near Guanhaiwei, and the people on Shuangyu Island."

After Li Tianhen finished speaking, he let go of the old man, gave him a long bow, and said earnestly: "The people in the old man's hall are all adults in the imperial court. Please tell all the ladies what you heard and saw. , it will be fine."

Long Duanshi coughed, and asked the old man: "What is the name of this old man, and where is he from? If you know anything, you can tell me!"

The old man was a little deaf, he closed his ears and listened carefully, nodded after listening, and said tremblingly: "The old man is... a commoner at the foot of Taicang Mountain, who lives on the hillside next to the Taicang Guards camp... Six

The old man who lived near Taicangwei, together with the people of Guanhaiwei and Shuangyu Island, respectively told what they heard and saw. The people of Taicangwei saw Taicangwei dispatched in full force in the early morning of the 27th, and a large number of warships sailed out of the water. The old man is just a representative of the village going straight to the sea, not a few of the nearby people witnessed this scene with their own eyes.

The people near Guanhaiwei also told about the scene and the time when they heard the loud noise of killing in the camp of Guanhaiwei Water Village. That was from the night of the 26th to the early morning of the 27th. The time when officers and soldiers appeared on Shuangyu Island.

Xia Xun didn't need to go through all the trouble to find endless evidence.Now that the other party has revealed a flaw, as long as they concentrate on attacking this flaw and use the most detailed and powerful evidence as a breakthrough, the entire case can be overturned.

If one punch can knock someone down, there is no need to spend two punches. This is not an exhibition match.The loophole that Xia Xun found was time, and all the evidence revolved around this time.However, it is easy to say, but it is really difficult to collect these evidences!When it was placed in the courtroom, it seemed that they were just ordinary witnesses, and a few ordinary evidence, who knows how much power Qianlong spent.

They knew that the Japanese pirate did not die in Guanhaiwei, so they used all their connections and contacts to inquire about all the nearby guards who had fought fiercely with the Japanese pirates in the few days before the incident. Whereabouts, in order to find the accomplices of the Japanese people, Xia Xun even used the secret spies in Jinyi who had been lurking in the local area back then, and asked them to assist them. It took a lot of hard work to catch a few people who were spies for the humble people, and interrogated the whereabouts of the Japanese people from their mouths .

The next step is the most difficult three steps, you have to catch a few living hunchbacks and bring them back.Yang Xu could only use spies instead of troops. Without warships and troops, how could he carry out the task of arresting living bandits.

Originally, Xia Xun's people were planning to give up this evidence and find other ways. Fortunately, they got the news from Ren Juying at this time.Ren Juying was in the rear, seeing that the opponent wanted to use an "iron gate" to shut all his troops into the water village, so he had to lead a few battleships in the rear to break out of the encirclement and escape from the scene.

After getting the news, Submarine Dragon went to Yangjiao Mountain to find Su Ying, and through Su Ying contacted Ren Juying, who was recruiting soldiers and recruiting various small pirate gangs, and was about to fight the imperial court to the death.When Ren Juying heard that he and the third child could be rescued alive, he naturally obeyed his orders, and after a lot of trouble, he got the witnesses.

As for the people near these guards, except for the people from Shuangyu Guards, who else would obediently serve as their witnesses?Ordinary people, even if their own family has problems, they are usually resolved in private. It has become a tradition in many places to kill without officials.

It is even more difficult to persuade these people, they cannot be beaten or scolded. If they are forced to come, once they go to court to revoke their confessions, wouldn't it be self-defeating?At this time, he had to use money to win people's hearts, promised them countless benefits, even showed some strength, and promised to help his family live elsewhere afterwards. Only then did he find a few people who were willing to testify from the vicinity of Guanhaiwei and Taicangwei.

Most of the people who live next to the barracks are miserable, and how many of them can withstand the temptation of money?

After hearing the testimony of these witnesses and seeing those Japanese pirates still standing there, Long Duanshi sighed, and said to the princes, princes, ministers, and adults who were on trial and jury: "According to the information provided by Li Tianhen from the Ministry of Xu Hu, I believe that the Shuangyu Island Tonghou case is full of suspicions, and the original evidence used to sue Shuangyu Weitongwo is insufficient. In my opinion, all relevant people should be put in prison and the trial will be held first. Report the situation to the emperor, and investigate again."

Seeing that the general situation is over, Zhu Gaoxu has quietly hinted to his confidants to inform Qiu Fu, and immediately began to "stop the action". He was about to delay the time, and when he heard this, he said in a hurry, "This king agrees. This case is serious and doubtful." Heavy, for the sake of prudence, you might as well choose another day for another trial!"

Zhu Gaochi asked: "What else does Long Duan want to investigate?"

Long Fei clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that we should investigate first to confirm the identities of these Japanese people and witnesses. At the same time, I request that the generals involved in the case, such as Luo Yu and Ji Wenhe, be transferred back to Beijing for investigation. Xidong, conduct an investigation and collect evidence from the officers and soldiers of the various guards involved in the case! After obtaining more convincing evidence, it is more appropriate to try the case again!"

Xia Xun smiled and said: "In order to find evidence to save the chief general of this guard, this person has gone through mountains and rivers and exhausted so much effort. It can be seen that there are details in the rough, and he is a very meticulous person. Maybe he has other evidence that can determine everything in one fell swoop." Maybe, in that case, we won't have to keep the emperor waiting for so long!"

Li Tianhen immediately said: "Not bad! There will be physical evidence!"

He reached into his pocket, took out something, held it high above his head and walked forward, there were still six or seven steps away from the presiding judge, jury and the nobles who were watching, the guards were afraid that he would violently hurt others, Having stopped in front, he took the book from him, turned around and handed it over to Long Duan.

Long Duanshi opened it, looked at it, closed it gently again, and said with a long sigh: "Your Highnesses, my lords, Eunuch Zheng, I think that the case of Shuangyu Wei Tonghou can be concluded here. Already!"

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty thinks that the guards of Shuangyu should be found not guilty! Apart from this, other matters are not within the authority of this hall. I also invite the two Highnesses and Eunuch Zheng to report back to the emperor, and the emperor makes a decision!"

Chen Ying couldn't hold back, stood up abruptly, and said, "What evidence, show me!"

As soon as Long Duanshi handed over the item, the sergeant forwarded it to Chen Ying. When Chen Ying saw it, his knees softened, and he slowly sat back on the chair. What Li Tianhen presented was exactly what Luo Yu sent to Taicang Wei. Warrant to deploy troops!

A sneer slowly appeared on the corner of Xia Xun's mouth: "It's time to settle the matter!"

The first seven days just ended.

One month, the road ahead.

Guan Guanxi, you are happy.

You are happy, Guan Guan is happy.

Guan Guan worry, you worry.

You worry, care about worry.

We have the same joys and worries.

grateful to have you!
