Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 945 Your Highness Chitose

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned.

Perfect.

  Everything from the logic to the witnesses and physical evidence that was searched is enough to overturn all the previous confessions.

  He looked deeply at Zhu Zaimo, this child...is indeed a descendant of the Zhu family.

   Do this...like yourself!

  Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi was a little moved, quite a bit like seeing the sun behind the clouds.

  This is a genius. According to the history books, Gan Luo paid homage to the prime minister at the age of twelve. Before the homage to the prime minister, this Gan Luo had already entered Lu Buwei's mansion when he was eight or nine years old, and became a guest and advised him.

  During the time of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Chong, Cao Cao's son, showed amazing talent since he was a child. When he was five or six years old, his intelligence had reached adulthood.

After that, there was another person who was called Immortal Boy. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a man named Yuan Jia who could hold a pen with both hands when he was five or six years old. The number, while still reciting the article. It is impossible for an adult to do three things with one mind.

  In the Tang Dynasty, there was Li He, who was even called a ghost. When he was six or seven years old, he could recite poems and write poems.

  The allusions read in these ancient histories.

  Now, it appeared in front of him.

  It's just...Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused...his grandson is a genius and child prodigy.

  He was overjoyed, but at the same time felt strange in his heart.

  My grandson is indeed extremely smart, but to say he is a genius... seems to be a bit exaggerated. Compared with those terrible characters in ancient history, he is still lacking.

  But...his performance today...

  At this time, Zhu Zaimo immediately turned his eyes, and his eyes fell on Jia Qing, with a cold look in his eyes.

  Zhu Zaimo patted the gavel, and said in a deep voice, "Jia Qing, now that there are all witnesses and evidence, what else can you say?"

"..." Jia Qing was lying on the ground at this moment, trembling all over. He was a rascal and a very slippery person, but at this moment, he didn't say any more words of injustice, but just looked straight at Xu Peng raised his hand. **** coat...

   Now, what else can I say?

   Clothes are not your own?

   Everyone is lying?

  All of this caught him by surprise.

  Originally, everyone was the object of his calculations, and things developed as you thought.

  Cabinet Grand Scholars pay attention to clear names. Seeing such a tragedy, they must be outraged and must have an explanation. But after all, Cabinet Grand Scholars are not prison officers, and they cannot interrogate themselves, so they will definitely put pressure on the people below.

  Under such strong pressure, Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple are bound to close the case within a time limit, and there is no time for delay.

  The evidence on the surface all points to the neighbor Ye Yan.

   It can be said that once he stopped the car to sue, almost everyone wished that Ye Yan would be the real culprit, that Shuntian Mansion would become Qingtian, and that the servants under the pressure of the governor could only wish to execute the criminal immediately. Dali Temple hastily reviewed.

All in all…

  From the top to the bottom, from the great scholar, to the Fu Yin and the Dali Temple Minister, to the second official at the bottom, to the official to the capital, to the lowest level of the officials and servants.

Even if someone noticed the slightest suspicion, but at this time, they also chose to remain silent. The reason for the silence was simple, because Shangguan didn't like to hear any information that hindered the conclusion of the case. make life difficult for.

  But once exposed, then...

"Such heinous crimes, whether you confess or not, will not escape the law. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, any rebellion is considered to endanger the country; great rebellion is to destroy the ancestral temples, hills and palaces. But the accomplices, regardless of The first servants are all executed by Ling Chi. You murdered their parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, wives and children, this is a crime of treason, according to the law, you should be executed by Ling Chi!"

  Jia Qing became frightened and trembled violently. Hearing the word Ling Chi put to death, he was even more frightened to the extreme, his face was terribly pale.

  Zhu Zaimo seemed to have noticed it a long time ago: "Come here, tie him up, open his mouth, don't let him bite his tongue, put the prisoner in prison, and listen to Hou Dali Temple for inspection!"

The guards didn't dare to hesitate, they rushed forward like wolves and tigers, directly pushed Jia Qing down, and began to bind him. Someone opened his mouth and found that there was a bite mark on his tongue. Ling Chi's execution is the heaviest punishment, enough to make life worse than death.

  Zhu Zaimo made the verdict, but there was silence inside and outside the yamen hall, and no one questioned it.

  Countless people are now chewing carefully on the trial just now. The entire trial process could not be more fair.

  Everyone couldn't help looking at Zhu Zaimo in awe.

Zhu Zaimo continued: "Ye Yan is a filial son, he never committed any crime, but because of the negligence of the Shuntian Mansion, he encountered a catastrophe, his mother cried and went blind because of this, and he was also tortured. The official will avenge his injustice, and he is afraid that his life will be lost. Zhang, the governor of the Shuntian Mansion, will you be convicted of the crime?"

  Zhang Lai's whole body seemed to lose his anger all of a sudden. At this time, Zhu Zaimo blamed him, and he shivered violently. He had realized something, and he quickly bowed down, and said in fear: "I... Wanshi."

"Of course you deserve to die. You neglected your duty. You put a vegetarian meal on your corpse. You were tortured and tortured. Today, you almost killed Ye Yan, let Jia Qing and other criminals go free, and I don't know how many unjust cases have been ruined in the hands of foolish officials like you. You are waiting to be punished Impeachment by the censor. It's just...the Ye family has undergone such drastic changes because of you, how will they live in the future? You prepare three thousand taels of silver as compensation for the Ye family. As for other accounts, His Majesty will decide."

  Zhang Lai's face was pale, he knew very well...he was finished, he kowtowed again and again, and said sadly: "Mr. Wan is to die...Mr.... obey orders."

Zhu Zaimo raised his head and said: "As for Dali Temple, it is also inevitable to be guilty, and Li Dongyang, a cabinet scholar, was deceived by others. If he hadn't interfered with this case, how could there be such a result... Order him to come to Ye's house tomorrow to take the responsibility Please forgive me, if not, I will never give up."

  Zhu Zaimo shook the gavel and said, "Back the hall!"

  As soon as the words came out of my mouth... In the silent hall, suddenly there was a burst of applause.

"it is good."

   "Master Qingtian..."

   "His Royal Highness knows everything..."

  Countless voices rang out one after another.

   Many people couldn't help clapping their hands and applauding.

  Zhu Zaimo raised his eyes, his face was flushed with excitement, but...in his mind, he still thought of the person who was wronged in Xishan County because of his own fault, and he sighed...he couldn't make any more mistakes.

  At this moment, he seemed to think of something, and looked around, just now he saw his elder father, but now...he went to search again, but found that there was no elder father.

  Father has already left.

  He is the emperor, how can he show his deeds in this court.

  Zhu Zaimo's eyes sank like water, he flicked his sleeves, and said decisively: "Let's go!"

   More than 20 children followed Zhu Zaimo out of the yamen hall without hesitation.

  When the crowd of people outside saw the children coming out, the people in front stepped back one after another to make way for the road, and someone shouted: "Don't be crowded in the back, let Your Highness and the young gentlemen of Xishan County go out."

  Someone bowed down along the way, muttering: "Your Highness is a thousand years old."

  Zhu Zaimo was not happy at all.

A governor of Shuntian Prefecture, in his eyes, may be an inconspicuous person. After all, his eldest father is the emperor, and his father is the current crown prince. Which of his playmates is not Feifu? Expensive?

  A man like this, how could he put a Shuntian prefect in his eyes?

  But...however, a governor of the Shuntian Mansion, or even just a small servant under the Shuntian Mansion, even if they make a slight mistake, the fate of many people may be completely changed. This...is a terrible thing.

  The essence of law is to punish evil and promote good, to protect the weak, and to encourage people to abide by the law. But once... there are more unjust cases like this, who will believe in the Law of the Ming Dynasty in the future?

  He looked up and looked at the countless excited people, many people seemed to regard him as a talisman, with awe on their faces, bowed down and saluted.

  Zhu Zaimo felt a little ashamed...I...just did a simple thing.

  When he finally got out of Shuntian Mansion, outside Shuntian Mansion, Xiao Jing was dressed in casual clothes, waiting here: "Your Highness...Fang Zhengqing...Your Majesty, please...enter the palace immediately."

  The chariots and horses are ready.

  Zhu Zaimo and Fang Zhengqing looked at each other.

   Without hesitation, the two got into the car together. Fang Zhengqing wanted to give Zhu Zaimo a seat on the big sofa, but Zhu Zaimo pulled him over. The two were small, and a big sofa was enough for them to sit down.

  The carriage started to move.

  Zhu Zaimo sat in the car... sighed and said: "I just saw my father, and I also saw your father."

  Fang Zhengqing's complexion changed, and he asked with complicated eyes: "Is my father very fierce?"

  Zhu Zaimo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

  ………

  In Fengtian Temple.

  Emperor Hongzhi left and returned.

   Along the way, he was taciturn.

  Then, he raised his eyes, looking dazed.

  The scene just now shocked him.

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan knelt and sat obediently under the golden throne. In addition, there were three great scholars in the cabinet and Zhu Hanlin.

   Li Dongyang had a guilty expression on his face... All of this was caused by him. Perhaps, if he hadn't been deceived by a thief who would cut him to pieces, the result might have been completely different.

  He is about to make an apology.

  At this time... Fang Jifan was one step ahead of him.

  Fang Jifan said heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty, I'm guilty...I should never have done it. Stealing the treasure seal, I will never die."

   "..." Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

   Zhu Houzhao on the side suddenly cheered up, his eyes lit up: "That's right, it's my son and Fang Jifan... who stole the treasure seal, this crime, my son is willing to accept it."
