Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

Di Renjie was stunned. He didn't expect that the thief was so trustworthy.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should praise them.

He waved his hand and arranged for the Dali Temple to take Xue Zhong into custody.

Hu Zhenyi was confused at this moment. He was scared to death just now, fearing that the other party would drag him into the water.

Fortunately, Xue Zhong still had some conscience.

What awaits him will be the most severe punishment.

After all, stealing the Buddha head is a capital crime, and the stolen head is carved with the image of the Khan of Heaven.

Now the problem is that it seems that the case has made progress, at least the insider of the Ministry of Works has been found.

However...

The real murderer has no clue.

It can be seen that the other party is very cautious and has not revealed his feet at all.

However, at least it is a good start.

Di Renjie wrote the progress report of the case and came to the office of Xue Zhengqing, the Minister of the Dali Temple.

"Is Xue Siqing not here?"

"No, he went to the Three Departments to judge."

"Three Departments to judge? Who is he judging?"

"That, I don't know."

Di Renjie was shocked. Three Departments to judge is usually a means used for major cases.

Who could it be?

He thought about it for a while and it should be the case of the former Dali Siqing, Duan Zhengxuan.

After all, he was a central minister, and he had given him enough face before his death.

[Three Departments to judge is a name that only appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The written language in the Tang Dynasty was "Three Departments to judge". 】

As for the former Jiaofang Envoy Lu Leyi, Li Zhi simply didn't even give him a chance to appeal. He didn't even need to judge him, and directly sentenced him to confiscation of his property.

This was actually Li Zhi's angry words when he was angry. Later, he sobered up and felt that it was not fair to do so.

However, a gentleman's words are hard to take back. Once the harsh words are spoken, how can they be taken back?

Poor old Lu.

The trial venue for the three judges was in the Dali Temple.

As the chief judge, Xue Zhengqing sat at the top and felt a lot of pressure.

Sitting below were the Minister of Punishment Liu Xiangdao and the Imperial Censor Li Shuang.

Speaking of which, Li Shuang was born in the Longxi Li family, and his son Li Zhaode was the prime minister during the Wu Zhou period.

"Ahem--"

With a cough from Xue Zhengqing, the criminal Duan Zhengxuan was brought up.

When he saw Xue Zhengqing sitting in his original position, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Xue Sicheng, I really didn't expect that someone like you could get to the top?"

Xue Zhengqing was not angry, but laughed: "Duan Zhengxuan, there are many unexpected things in this world, for example, you will be imprisoned one day."

Don't say Duan Zhengxuan didn't expect it, Xue Zhengqing didn't expect that he would sit in the position of Dali Temple.

All I can say is that it's fate.

Who said I'm lucky to have two big guys to lead me?

Xue Zhengqing straightened his face and shouted majestically: "Duan Zhengxuan, the guilty minister, do you have any objection to the detailed description of the crime in the indictment?"

Duan Zhengxuan took the indictment and took a rough look.

He had been the Minister of the Dali Temple for more than 20 years and knew the routines in it too well.

Generally speaking, as long as the emperor does not want you to live, he will fabricate a lot of unfounded charges so that you cannot refute.

Even if you refute, it will be useless.

There is basically no example of overturning the case to the point of being a judge of the three courts.

It's nothing more than a formality.

Thinking of this, Duan Zhengxuan took a deep breath, lowered his head and said: "No objection."

"In that case..."

"Wait a minute." Unexpectedly, Duan Zhengxuan interrupted Xue Zhengqing.

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Yes, but I am not defending my guilt, but want to give you a piece of advice."

Give it to me? Xue Zhengqing frowned secretly.

Duan Zhengxuan said calmly: "You are still young now, and you think you have achieved glory for your family by becoming a third-rank official. You are inevitably complacent, but you don't know that this is just the starting point of your official career."

"In my opinion, people below the third rank cannot be regarded as officials, because there are nine ministers above them who are more powerful than him, and they do not have the power to act independently."

"However, when you become a nine minister, you must never make mistakes, and you must carefully figure out the thoughts of the saints. Because the higher the official position, the higher the cost of making mistakes, such as me?"

Xue Zhengqing suddenly slammed the table: "Nonsense!"

"Hehe, you think I am wrong, right? Otherwise, ask the two people sitting below you. They have worked in the court for many years and see more clearly than you."

"Xue Zhengqing, the Dali Temple is a high-risk job. Have you forgotten how my predecessor stepped down?"

"One day, you will be like me!"

"No Dali Temple can have a good end! No one can be spared by wearing this sinful official uniform. Not only me, but also you!"

Xue Zhengqing clenched his fists tightly, and he shouted loudly: "Take him away!"

"Hahaha, Xue Zhengqing, are you scared? Are you scared?"

"I'm going to see Zhao Siqing, and I'll wait for you downstairs..."

Xue Zhengqing was so angry that his chest rose and fell. Damn it, how dare this boy ruin my heart?

Liu Xiangdao and Li Shuang looked back at him, opened their mouths, but didn't say anything in the end.

From the Zhenguan period to the present, the three courts have conducted nine trials in total.

Among them, six people are Dali Siqing.

Can you say Duan Zhengxuan is wrong? He is not wrong.

It seems that in the dark, the position of Dali Siqing is cursed.

Dali Temple is in charge of the world's prisons. Among the nine ministers, the proportion of power can be said to be one of the best.

What kind of person will a person become when he has the power to decide the life and death of others?

Sitting in this position, you have to walk more cautiously than anyone else.

Some people are really unreasonable. When they go to hell, they can drag you down with them.

......

Song Zhen bought the house on the right side of the mansion and sold it to Di Renjie at a low price.

The two happily became neighbors.

Wang Muzhi also had someone to talk to, and no longer bored at home doing needlework.

Cui Mengzhu was originally an extroverted girl, and soon became a close friend with Wang Muzhi.

Then suddenly one day, she was pregnant?

"Muzhi, what are you doing..." Di Renjie stood there at a loss.

Song Zhen patted his shoulder heavily and said, "Congratulations, Huaiying."

Di Renjie hadn't recovered yet: "I, am I going to be an Aye?"

"What else? "

Wang Muzhi was too shy to look up at him, she just held Cui Mengzhu's hand, at a loss.

Cui Mengzhu pulled Wang Muzhi aside and told her about the dietary precautions after pregnancy.

Although she had never been pregnant in her two lives, she was a modern person and would occasionally see it when she was browsing Xiaohongshu.

And at that time, she and Song Zhen were engaged and were actively preparing for pregnancy.

Wang Muzhi was thin-skinned and blushed even more when she was said.

Late at night-

Wang Muzhi huddled in Di Renjie's arms, she twisted her body and whispered: "Alang, since I'm pregnant now, you can't do bad things during the ten months of pregnancy."

Di Renjie smiled: "I'm not that kind of person."

"But if you really can't help it, if you really need it, you can take a concubine."

"?"

Di Renjie immediately refused when he heard this. My good brother Shouzheng hasn't even started a family, how can I take a concubine?

......
