Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

fortunately……

Changsun Wuji secretly delighted in his heart, his forbearance made him not show any abnormality in his expression, only to see that he raised the gavel in his hand without saying a word——

Snapped!

"Ascension!"

"mighty……"

The two classes of yamen servants all sang Nuo Xuanwei in a long voice, and in an instant, the entire Dali Temple court was filled with solemnity and coercion.

Changsun Wuji yelled at Zhao Feixuan who was kneeling on the ground in a prison uniform: "Officer Zhao Feixuan, are you convicted?"

Zhao Feixuan knelt on the ground, and said in response: "Because of greed for a while, I bought inferior stones and timber as goods, which caused the imperial mausoleum to collapse and killed innocent people, and also let the supervisor Gao Shilian and the supervisor Zhao Mingde die in vain. On the spot. Alas... the crimes committed by the lower officials are heinous, and it is hard to escape the blame. Even if I die a hundred times, I will not be able to forgive my crimes. Therefore, the lower officials know their crimes, confess their guilt, and never deny it!"

"it is good!"

Changsun Wuji suddenly stretched out his right arm and pointed at Guo Ye who was standing in the hall, and then shouted at Zhao Feixuan: "Since you have confessed your crime, then you should obey the order in front of this official and the two assistant officials. In front of King Jiang Xia, who is listening to the case, tell us how you and Guo Ye secretly colluded to make huge profits. Zhao Feixuan, if you do it honestly, you can save yourself a lot of pain, do you know?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall turned their gazes to Guo Ye in unison. It was really all the attention, and Guo Ye felt a little pressured.

Zhao Feixuan suddenly looked up at Changsun Wuji, shook his head and said, "Reporting to Mrs. Changsun, this case has nothing to do with Guo Ye, so why did you say that he secretly colluded with him to make huge profits?"

ho~

There was another burst of discussion in the hall. Obviously, these people participated in the first round of trial and heard Zhao Feixuan's original statement. That's not what they said at the time.

"presumptuous!"

Changsun Wuji scolded with a gloomy face: "How solemn is the trial of the three judges? How can you allow Zhao Feixuan to reverse your confession? Could it be that you want to suffer the torture so that you can tell the truth?"

"My lord grandson, what I'm saying now is the truth!"

Zhao Feixuan hurriedly shouted: "Before now, I was threatened by Cui Henian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and insisted that Guo Ye and I were secretly involved in this case. In fact, Guo Ye did not participate in it. On the contrary, the official was in the imperial tomb. Everything I did was under the order of Cui Shangshu, and I was bewitched by Cui Shangshu! Moreover, even the merchant who provided inferior stone and wood was introduced to me by Cui Shangshu. To tell you the truth, I hope Master Zhangsun will see clearly!"

Boom~

So this is the truth?

In an instant, the entire courtroom was boiling, and what's more, he had begun to secretly cast aside Cui Henian's shameless friend.As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he not only ordered his subordinate Zhao Xi to carry out this nasty thing, but also let his subordinates be convicted as scapegoats after the incident, and also slandered Huo Guogong Chai Shao and Yizhou Hou Guoye Weng and his son-in-law, and dragged Chai and Guo into the water involved.

Wei Ting, Yu Deshui, and even Jiang Xia Wang Li Daozong, they knew the rift and hatred between Guo Ye and Cui Henian.After what Zhao Feixuan said, several people immediately understood that Cui Henian had planned this trick to frame Guo Ye early in the morning, shameless, shameless, this is a plan that kills several birds with one stone, what a vicious, vicious and shameless Cui Henian!

Coincidentally, several people frowned slightly, with deep thoughts on their faces.

In an instant, Cui Henian's usual image of benevolence and righteousness plummeted!

But Changsun Wuji seemed to want to wash away Cui Henian, he ignored the criticism from everyone, and shouted at his cousin: "Zhao Feixuan, how can I allow you to change your confession without authorization? Tell the truth about the filth between you and Guo Ye, otherwise I will I'm going to be punished!"

"Wait a minute!"

Yu Deshui, who had received Guo Ye's kindness next to him, finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up to dissuade him, and said, "Master Changsun, this case has taken a turn for the worse, and I feel that there must be something inside that we don't know about!"

"Extremely great!"

Wei Ting, who is also an assistant official, also stood up and asked: "Zhao Feixuan, I asked you, you said that you were ordered by Cui Shangshu at the imperial tomb, and Cui Shangshu will make you a scapegoat after the incident happened. Lamb, I want you to slander Huo Guogong and Yizhou Hou. Then I ask you, why are you subject to Cui Shangshu? Do you know that if you do this, innocent people will be involved in the case, and these two are for me Tang Li is a great hero who has made great contributions."

"Oh... Lord Wei, I don't want to be so conscientious!"

Zhao Feixuan sighed heavily, and said with shame on his face: "If Cui Shangshu hadn't imprisoned my wife and daughter and threatened me with their lives, why would I do this? If I don't do what he wants, Then my poor wife and daughter will die at any moment!"

wow~

The whole room was full of astonishment, and Wei Ting, whose fiery temper rivaled that of Wei Zheng's, was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded: "You know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart, but you don't know that Cui Henian is so ambitious. My lord, grandson, what are you waiting for? Please!" Order this beast to be arrested and brought to justice."

Changsun Wuji's face froze, then he shook his head and smiled, "Master Wei, don't be impulsive, it's just Zhao Feixuan's one-sided words now. After all, Cui Shangshu is a Shangshu, and I don't believe that he would do such a thing that is outraged by heaven and earth." .Haha, now life is at stake, Zhao Feixuan must be talking nonsense, it must not be true. Right?"

"I don't think so!"

Yu Shinan, who had always been calm as if he was fishing for an old man, finally spoke. He slightly cupped his hands to Wei Ting and the three who were judging the case, and said, "My lords, if I bother you, there is someone here who may be helpful to this case!"

Changsun Wuji was furious, and cursed: "Yu Shinan, how can you disturb and interrupt the court of Dali Temple? Someone..."

"and many more!"

"Wait a minute!"

Wei Ting and Yu Deshui stopped Changsun Wuji one after another, and said: "Since it is helpful to this case, Mr. Changsun should not hold Mrs. Yu accountable. Everyone is dedicated to solving this case. Justice for the wronged, and the truth for the dead!"

"That's right!"

Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, who was watching the play with his legs crossed, also made a noise at this time. He glanced at Changsun Wuji impatiently, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone: "Master Changsun, since he is the key person in this case, Mrs. Yu has If you're so enthusiastic, what's the point of meeting you? Could it be that you're afraid of something?"

Although Li Daozong, who came here with the order, was not a court judge, but the imperial edict seems to have the most weight in his words. Even if he said so, Changsun Wuji was powerless even if he wanted to stop it.

After a while, Yu Shinan brought in a merchant-like figure with his entourage.

As soon as the merchant entered the hall, Zhao Feixuan recognized him for the first time, and shouted in astonishment: "It's him, it's him, it's him, Cui Shangshu asked this person to provide me with inferior stone and wood. "

Bang!

The merchant knelt down straight on the ground, prostrated himself trembling and shouted: "My lords, if the villain is convicted, he will do everything according to the truth. But the villain is also acting under Cui Shangshu's orders. I have correspondence with Cui Shangshu here. In the letter, he personally instructed me how to act."

As he spoke, the merchant took out a stack of letters from his arms, held them over his head, and handed them to a yamen servant beside him.

The yamen servant took the letter and presented it to the hall for Changsun Wuji and Wei Ting to look at. Even Li Daozong got up and walked over to pick up the letter for inspection.

Soon, everything will come to light!

Wei Ting took the lead in shouting: "Shameless Cui Henian, if you don't arrest him now, when will you wait?"

Yu Deshui shouted: "Come here, hurry and arrest Cui Henian!"

Jiang Xia Wang Li Daozong gave an extra order: "Remember, if you want to live, maybe digging out Cui Henian can dig out even bigger shady scenes!"

After saying this, Li Daozong glanced at Changsun Wuji intentionally or unintentionally, as if he meant something.

Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat, and he remained silent, with a gloomy face still on his face.

At this time, Yu Shinan walked down the hall and came to Guo Ye, pretending to say loudly: "Your Majesty of Yizhou, real gold is not afraid of fire, and mere ghosts and ghosts will never destroy you. The clearer will clear himself, it seems You have been wronged. But don't worry, even if the old man dies, he will ask the emperor to uphold justice for you!"

After finishing speaking, he also gave Changsun Wuji a hard look, as if provoking Changsun Wuji's bottom line.

Guo Ye smiled, and said with a cooperating smile: "Thank you, my lord, for upholding justice for me, thank you Wei Shangshu, and Mr. Yu for upholding justice for Guo, and even more thank you, King Jiang Xia, for coming to uphold justice for Guo."

Here, the only thing missing is to thank Changsun Wuji, the presiding judge.

Guo Ye watched his eldest grandson Wuji smile without saying a word, stared at it for a while, and then slowly said: "It's nothing for Guo to suffer a little, the most important thing is that as King Jiangxia said, he can pass Cui Henian , dig out the real culprits behind the scenes, and wipe them all out, that is the real justice for the living and justice for the dead!"
