Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 308 Interrogation
The Ministry of Criminal Affairs took over the case from Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This kind of case sent by His Majesty the Emperor must be him to try it. There is nothing wrong with it. But after all the personnel involved in the case arrived at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the entire palace was already closed. It's spread all over the place.

In addition, the location of the case assigned by the emperor will be carried out in the palace, so basically officials who have relations with the early dynasty will come to listen.Although the ladies and talents in the harem couldn't come out to see them, there were a lot of eunuchs who were more interested than them. After thinking about it, I don't know which eunuch from the inner courtyard of the palace dared to come out to kill people, so the trial has not yet started. It's almost full of people here.

Sitting on the stage was Minister of the Ministry of Justice Kuanyu, this is the new minister, he is not very old, in his early forties, and the person sitting behind him is Gong Dian, he respects Gong Dian very much, after all He is the commander of the forbidden army in the inner courtyard of the palace, which is equivalent to the position of general, and is the supervisor of this case, which is equivalent to His Majesty the emperor sitting behind him.

Everyone was almost packed, Kuan Yu then asked Gong Dian behind him, "Master Gong, can we start?"

"You can do it at any time. I'm just an observer and supervisor. If it's a normal trial and there are no accidents in the case, I won't interfere. Your Majesty is free to cut it off." Gong Dian said directly without any official authority. .

Hearing that Gong Dian was like this, Kuan Yu nodded, turned around and said, "Success."

It is a rule that the inner courtyard of the imperial palace does not call for might. Of course, no one knows whether this dynasty calls for might or not.

"Your Excellency." Sun Yaoshu walked into the hall. The reason why he didn't call Lord Shangshu but directly called Your Excellency was because he wanted to get close to this without a doubt, and secondly because he knew that his case was settled. Those who can enter the imperial court are not very high-ranking officials. Maybe he will be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments after being the number one arrester in the capital city.

So Sun Yaoshu, who is still far away from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is already jealous, he smiled and said, "This matter is about Hong Zhu, the eunuch of the imperial study, who killed his elder brother Hong Dashan. "

Surprised!

This short sentence involves a lot.

First of all, Hong Dashan is definitely not in the palace, so Hong Zhu was involved in the issue of going out of the palace without permission, which involved the Jingdu city garrison guarding the palace gate, the guards protecting the royal family of the palace, and the palace tiger guards guarding the study. , Eunuch Cao, the chief eunuch in charge of shift scheduling, and Eunuch Hou, the foreman in charge of guarding Hong Zhu.

It is a top priority for eunuchs to go out of the palace without permission. This is not a joke. If this matter is confirmed, the above-mentioned people will not be able to escape their guilt at all.

The next step is to kill brother.

In this era, seniority and inferiority are very important. Ordinary killing is to beheaded, but killing a brother is to execute a chariot trip. If killing the biological father, it is divided into five horses and executed at the end of the day. Among the crimes, killing the biological parents is the most serious.Although Hong Zhu is not killing his mother right now, he is already killing his brother.

Eunuch Cao looked angry, but he looked at Eunuch Hou. For Eunuch Cao, it might be a fine or something, but for Eunuch Hou, he might just get out and beheaded. Thinking about his own trick, it was still useful, but at this time he didn't make the trouble himself. He thought this matter could be used to blackmail something, but now it seems that he can only watch the old guy leave, and never let him go. There are no other benefits to take.

Eunuch Hou looked as usual and stood quietly aside.

"Is there any evidence?" Kuan Yu is a person who pays great attention to efficiency. After he knew that this matter really affected His Majesty the Emperor, he asked immediately.

"The witnesses and the evidence are here." Sun Yaoshu did not neglect, and said immediately.

"Traveling physical evidence." Kuan Yu said.

The Dali Temple official behind him came out and presented a kitchen knife covered with blood. After reaching Kuan Yu's face, Sun Yaoshu said, "This knife is the murder weapon in this case, it was used by Hong Zhu, The ironclad proof that Hong Dashan was killed with a knife from behind."

"Where is the corpse?" Kuan Yu asked without listening to Sun Yao's words.

"Bring the corpse." Sun Yaoshu said.

When the three clerks of the Criminal Department heard this sentence, they took their things and went to the hall directly. After everyone in Dali Temple moved the corpse into the back hall, the clerks began to attack.

Kuan Yu didn't urge him, he needed to take it step by step, at least he was new to this case, and it was right to confirm bit by bit, after all, it was His Majesty's business, and he couldn't be careless in the slightest.

After a while, Wu Zuo came out.

"After the autopsy, the deceased was aged between thirty and six to thirty-eight. He was from the city of our capital and had property on him."

"What's the cause of death?" Kuan Yu asked.

"It can't be verified." Wu Zuo said.

Sun Yaoshu was startled, and after he glanced at Hong Xiaoshi in the hall in a daze, he frowned.

Kuan Yu was the first to ask, "Why can't it be verified?"

Wu Zuo made a gesture, and then lifted the body up.

"There are multiple stab wounds on the corpse. After comparison, it can be seen that the murder weapon was indeed done, but the depth of the stab wounds is different, and the strange thing is that except for the stab wound on the back, which was cut together with the clothes, all the other stab wounds were It was in the clothes, and there were eight fatal stab wounds, three on the chest, three on the back, one on the neck, and one on the waist. The other twelve stab wounds were not fatal, but it was not ruled out. Bleed to death!"

"Impossible!" Hong Xiaoshi was stunned, he yelled, rushed out, and said, "My lord, my lord's lesson, I saw with my own eyes that Hong Zhu hacked my elder brother to death with one knife, how could there be so many stab wounds?" !"

"Fight!" Kuan Yu shouted without saying a word, "Disturb the court, twenty big boards."

This time Sun Yaoshu just wanted to speak, but he held back.

Two yamen servants passed by, and the [-]th board beat Hong Xiaoshi directly, bloody and bloody.

Hong Xiaoshi couldn't stand up now, he could only lie on the ground, roaring hoarsely, but he didn't know what he was shouting.

Kuan Yu didn't bother to talk to him, and asked directly, "Is this the witness?"

"Yes." Sun Yaoshu said.

"This person is Hong Xiaoshi, the younger brother of the deceased, right?" Kuan Yu asked again.

"Yes." Sun Yaoshu replied.

"Such a certification cannot be trusted. You can also fabricate facts if you see it with your own eyes. After all, there are many hatreds and other disputes with the deceased. If it is framed, it is also okay." Lie Yu said.

After this sentence was over, the two people below were all stupid.

Frame it?
