back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 281 Dali Temple Interrogation

After Lu Chengqi turned into the apse, he felt a little relaxed.Facing these old fritters in the officialdom is more tiring than dealing with a lot of state affairs.

Fortunately, regarding the shipbuilding, Lu Chengqi had succeeded in stealing the day, and successfully blocked the mouths of the officials.If they don't object now, it means they won't have a chance to object in the future.After having a new type of warship, if we continue to develop it, the Han people will always be a big step ahead of the world.Entering the era of great voyages early and leading new economic growth points, at that time, I am afraid that no country can compete with Dashun, right?

Of course, the threat of the nomads in the north must be resolved first, otherwise the sailing is powerful, and it is just following the footsteps of the Song Dynasty in the history of the authentic brand.

This is Lu Chengqi's ambition. To realize this ambition, it is impossible to rely on the efforts of Lu Chengqi alone, and a gradually growing business class is needed.The Chinese civilization will never perish if the wisdom of the Chinese people is used to do business with people all over the world.

According to the history that Lu Chengqi knew, he could only bring Dashun to this point.Sometimes history is the step before the turning point, because history is created by people, and the choices made by people are the choices made by history.When a policy change by a decisive figure, it is likely to be a historical change.

A day passed by in a flash.

On the second day, it was still drizzle, and it seemed that it would never stop.When Lu Chengqi got up, looking at the still dark sky, he frowned tightly.

Rain is a good thing, but continuous rain, especially heavy rain to torrential rain, is very worrying for future generations and this era.Although human evolution has determined that humans have the ability to transform nature.However, as a result of transformation, unexpected disasters often occur.The power of nature, non-human beings can resist.It can only be used by letting nature take its course.

The rain continued to fall, and lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, sending out bursts of thunder.The rainwater hit the tiles, making a crisp sound.It overlaps, but it makes people feel upset.

The yamen of Dali Temple in Chang'an City was opened at Chenshi.If you are dissatisfied with the judgment of the Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture, you can also come to Dali Temple to appeal.Just like the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, when you ring the grievance drum outside Dali Temple, a yamen servant will take you into Dali Temple, and the minister of Dali Temple from the third rank will personally try it.

Dali Siqing's work is much more than that of the Ministry of Punishment.It is not only necessary to try the cases reported by various places, but also to make judgments on the unjust cases among them.If there is any dereliction of duty, report to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will track down, and the minister of Dali Temple will suffer.

Because the little emperor attached great importance to today's case, Dali Temple Minister did not dare to neglect it, and after a while, he started to prepare for the interrogation.After Wang Anshi and the jury officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrived, the Minister of Dali Temple immediately sent an order to lead the prisoner and prepare for the trial.

Wang Anshi was an observer appointed by Lu Chengqi, and he had a place to sit in the courtroom.I saw that Wang Anshi had no sense of restraint, and even carefully sized up the minister of Dali Temple who was sitting in the presiding judge, as if he wanted to get some information.

This Qing of Dali Temple was born fair and clean, and he looked about the same age as Wang Anshi. He was a Jinshi in the 12th year of Yuanshou, and he was called Ren Qishen.Wang Anshi looked at Ren Qishen who was about the same age in front of him, and felt very uncomfortable.If it weren't for this damn background, perhaps his official position would not be lower than that of Ren Qishen.

It's not that Wang Anshi is boasting, the real Wang Anshi in history does have this ability.However, God's will tricks people, this time is not the Song Dynasty, so Wang Anshi has never even got the qualifications of the imperial examination, let alone be an official.

The expression on Wang Anshi's face has not changed much since the yamen servant went to the prison to pick up the prisoner.The onlookers didn't know why, and they all talked about the identity of this white scholar.Even the officials, subordinate officials, yamen servants, etc. who had heard the news a long time ago, looked a little sideways at this bold and white scholar.

As if everyone was watching him, Wang Anshi didn't show anything wrong, instead he sat on the chair very well, but his mind didn't know where he went.

Not long after, Wang Yuanshi, the patriarch of the Wang family in Taiyuan, was brought out from the Chang'an City Prison and the Sky Prison, under the supervision of a group of yamen servants, wearing shackles and shackles, dragging rainwater tinkly, and entered the court from the side door.

Wang Anshi noticed that Wang Yuanshi hadn't been tortured to extract a confession, and apart from being stripped to only a prison uniform, he was also in good spirits.It seems that in the sky prison, it is a good time!
Wang Yuanshi's aura was not weak. As a prisoner, he still walked steadily, with a graceful bearing, and his expression did not fluctuate at all.Wang Anshi originally had some resentment towards the nominal head of the Wang family.If it weren't for the burden of the Taiyuan royal family, their Linchuan royal family would not have been unable to conduct scientific research for several generations.

But now seeing Wang Yuanshi's demeanor, Wang Anshi's resentment was relieved a little, and he seemed to understand a little why the Wang family in Taiyuan wanted to do this.

Dali Temple Minister Ren Qishen saw Wang Yuanshi's calm expression and frowned. He felt that he did not respect the law of the country, so he immediately picked up the gavel and slapped it, and shouted: "The prisoner, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

Wang Yuanshi raised his head and looked at the plaque above Ren Qishen's head that read "Serve the Voice of the Nation". He seemed to feel that these four words were mocking him, so he couldn't help laughing too.

Wang Yuanshi said slowly: "My old man, Wang, has only knelt on the ground all his life, kneeling on his parents and ancestors, kneeling as a pilgrim, but I don't know why he kneels to you?"

As soon as this remark came out, the people onlookers immediately became quiet, knowing that something good was coming.It's not that Dashun didn't kneel down, it's just that under normal circumstances, he doesn't need to kneel down.If you bow down to a stranger, apart from thanking you, you are confessing your sins.When Wang Yuanshi said this, it was clear that he was innocent.

Prisoners refuse to plead guilty, which has existed since ancient times.Unless tortured into a trick, to deal with this kind of people who don't see the coffin and don't cry, it is necessary to produce strong evidence.

Ren Qishen, Minister of Dali Temple, sneered and said, "Since the prisoner thinks he is innocent, he will invite witnesses to the court!"

Wang Yuanshi still had a laid-back look, and was not swayed by Ren Qishen's intimidation. It seemed that he had gained the experience of "be lenient when confessing, and stay in prison; if you resist, be strict, and go home for the New Year".As long as there is no evidence that Wang Yuanshi violated the law, he will be released according to the Dashun Law.Presumably Wang Yuanshi had planned this way from the beginning, so he was so confident.

As the yamen servant turned back, a man with a Taiyuan accent was brought to the court. Seeing such a big battle, the man was so frightened that his legs were like sifting chaff. Compared with the calm Wang Yuanshi, he was really a world apart. , cannot be compared.

Ren Qishen has seen this kind of situation a lot, and said with experience: "The hall is from Taiyuan Mansion, Jinyang City, Jin Dalang?"

The man stammered and said, "The little...the villain is...exactly..."
