Domineering Daming

This is the most detailed charge. Wang Qiaonian looked at Qian Qianyi and said in a deep voice, "Qian Qianyi, do you plead guilty?"

Qian Qianyi frowned. He had already sealed up all the people who were supposed to be silent, and destroyed those papers. In addition, Zhou Yanru and others had already been executed. It was impossible for the Governor's Council to find any evidence!

"Could it be, just to fool me? But in this case, Dali Temple, the Governor's Council dare to play tricks blatantly?"

Suddenly, Qian Qianyi's face turned pale, his fat body trembled, his eyes were full of fear, and his cheeks were covered with cold sweat.

He missed one person - Wen Tiren!

This person was also an insider back then. The two of them were rivals and knew many secrets of each other, but they had always "fighted without breaking" and did not tear their face apart. If Wen Tiren opened his mouth, he would definitely not be able to escape!

"Wen Tiren is in Annan now, the Governor's Council is too late!"

Qian Qianyi's mouth was parched, the calmness he had just now was gone, and he was flustered for a while, feeling lost.

"Qian Qianyi, do you plead guilty?" Wang Qiaonian looked at Qian Qianyi, his eyes flickered slightly, he patted the gavel, and said in a deep voice.

Qian Qianyi was taken aback, opened his mouth to say something, but shut up quickly, wiping the cold sweat off his head in a hurry.He wasn't sure whether Wen Tiren was involved, if his denial was confirmed, there would be no way to stand up!But if you admit it, the previous crimes of corruption, soliciting bribes, cultivating private individuals, and deceiving the emperor will all be logical, and you can no longer shirk it!

This is a dilemma, both front and back are dead ends!

Except for the ordinary people who turned their backs to Qian Qianyi, everyone saw Qian Qianyi's expression.

Zhang Wenda snorted coldly in his heart, with an ugly face.

This Qian Qianyi used to be Wenkui of Donglin, who was very famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Although he later separated his relationship with Donglin, he still was.Donglin's original "gentleman" image, as these people are unbearably exposed one by one, has already become notorious, and there is no way to recover it!

Lu Daqi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, Qian Qianyi is not far from pleading guilty like this, if this trial continues and Zhou Yingqiu is involved, there will be a big earthquake in the court.

Shen Xun frowned slightly. He still had some hope for Qian Qianyi. Now that he saw him, he was already thinking about how to write a plea. Qian Qianyi was once his subordinate.

Holding the gavel in his hand, Wang Qiaonian's eyes were like lightning, and he said in a deep voice, "Qian Qianyi, I will ask you for the last time, are you pleading guilty?"

Qian Qianyi's face was covered with cold sweat, his face became paler and he looked flustered.This is a dilemma, which one has unpredictable consequences!

"mighty……"

All of a sudden, the yamen servants on both sides struck the killing sticks and shouted loudly.

Qian Qianyi's expression changed drastically, and he opened his mouth to "confess", but the moment he blurted it out, he swallowed it back abruptly.

He stiffened his neck, his body trembled slightly, and his teeth chattered: "Your official...do not plead guilty..."

Wang Qiaonian looked at Qian Qianyi, nodded slightly, and said, "It's fine if you don't admit it, continue."

The second juror glanced at Qian Qianyi, with contempt in his eyes, and said: "Fifth, the ceremony of the royal family, marrying a humble family, violates the ancestral system, Qian Qianyi, can you plead guilty?"

In the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, being a prostitute was a first-class felony for homicide, not to mention marrying into the family with the ceremony of the main wife.

With the previous matter on his mind, Qian Qianyi was already upset, and his reason was not much left. Listening to the juror's words, he frowned, and said coldly: "Liu Rushi has already left his citizenship. Although he lives in Qinhuai River, I am no longer a lowly family, and the wedding has not yet taken place, so I would like to ask Mr. Wang to enlighten me."

Wang Qiaonian looked at him coldly and said, "You don't plead guilty, do you?"

"Yes, I don't recognize it." Qian Qianyi pursed his dry lips and said.

The second juror took a look, and continued to read the next two charges, both of which seemed insignificant, and Qian Qianyi also "denied" them.

The people outside finally came to their senses at this moment. They were not as excited as they felt that Qian Qianyi had been "framed" before. They were all cautious and waited without saying a word. They had a premonition of something.

Wang Qiaonian turned to look to the right, and asked, "Is the person from the Governor's Council there?"

A middle-aged man dressed as a sixth-rank official of the Anti-Corruption Bureau came out from the side door of the Supervisory Council, raised his hand and said, "My lord, the next official is here."

Wang Qiaonian nodded and said, "Qian Qianyi has denied all the charges, you can testify."

This is the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Governor's Council. He raised his hand to Wang Qiaonian, turned to Qian Qianyi, spread out the thick "appeal" in his hand, and said, "Your marriage letter and dowry in Yingtianfu have been completed. Escorted to Beijing, the case of selling officials and nobles, the Ministry of Criminal Justice opened the old case of Zhou Yanru and others yesterday, some transcripts and rubbings of the files have been transferred to the Governor's Yuan, some officials of the Ministry of Rites have confessed that you made a wish to them for being an official, and they presented you with calligraphy and paintings, Antique, still working as a broker for you... With all the witnesses and evidence, do you have anything else to say?"

Qian Qianyi's face was pale, the corners of his mouth moved, but he couldn't utter a word.

Although there are seven charges, they are all connected in series. As long as one of them is proven, the others will be established!

He didn't care about these things at all, because everyone did this all the time. Who confiscated a few calligraphy and paintings?Who hasn't promised an official in private?He is not the only one who married a lowly family?Did he support the Qinhuai River alone?

But these cannot be said out loud. This is explicitly prohibited by the "New Deal" of the imperial court. To speak out is to oppose the "New Deal".

Qian Qianyi didn't speak, Zhang Wenda, Shen Xun, Lu Daqi and others looked up at him and shook their heads inwardly. Qian Qianyi couldn't escape this time, no matter how eloquent he was.

Zhu Xu, who was in the side hall, kept listening. Holding his teacup, he looked up at Cao Huachun and said, "Why does Qian Qianyi dare to do so many things? He is clearly keen on power."

Cao Huachun's face moved slightly, and he said: "It must be because this kind of thing was not important in the past, and it will not affect the official career..."

"In the past?" Zhu Xu nodded thoughtfully, because "it will not affect his official career", that's why Qian Qianyi left so many "unimportant" handles indifferently.

Chapter 895 Confession

"The lower official pleaded guilty..."

In the eyes of everyone, Qian Qianyi trembled all over, struggled for a while, and then knelt on the ground with a plop, gritted his teeth, and said with twitching corners of his mouth.

There is no more room for struggle, he is a senior official in the court, not a rogue, futile entanglement will only make him look unbearable, and his crime will be aggravated.

Wang Qiaonian, Zhang Wenda, Shen Xun, and Lu Daqi, with such a large lineup, no one can mess around.

Moreover, he still needs to save the last bit of face!

After Qian Qianyi's "confession", Wang Qiaonian, Zhang Wenda and others breathed a sigh of relief. They were always worried that Qian Qianyi would reveal some court secrets, embarrassing the court and the emperor, and it was difficult for them to do so.

Now that Qian Qianyi pleaded guilty, everyone's expressions softened and they looked at Wang Qiaonian.

Qian Qianyi pleaded guilty, and the next step is to wait for Wang Qiaonian's sentence.

Wang Qiaonian thought it would take three days. Although he knew it well, he couldn't draft the verdict right now, and Zhu Xu was still there on the other side. He pondered and said, "Since the suspect has pleaded guilty, I announce that the suspect will be temporarily detained in Dali Temple. Read the verdict!"

"mighty……"

The yamen servants on both sides shouted loudly, and the lobby was majestic and solemn.

Wang Qiaonian glanced at Zhang Wenda and the others, got up and walked towards the side door.

The three of Zhang Wenda stood, bowed slightly to Wang Qiaonian, then looked at the kneeling ground, his face was pale, Qian Qianyi's eyes were dull, and he left with Wang Qiaonian.

Then there were guards escorting Qian Qianyi to the cell of Dali Temple.

Qian Qianyi didn't respond at all, he just felt empty in his heart, no fear, no fear, just bored, as if everything was meaningless.

Perhaps because of the large gap, the people outside the hall also didn't react much, they were stunned for a while, and left in twos and threes.

Because Liu Rushi and the two came late, they couldn't get close, and they stood in a corner not far away. They waited for the crowd to disperse before they grabbed a question.
