Official Group

When Ding Lu was dragged into the mansion, his face had lost all color, and he knelt on the ground trembling in embarrassment, like a prey addicted to drugs.The doctor hurriedly brought a bowl of detoxification soup and poured him down.

Yu Yang snorted coldly: "I really admire your courage."

It took Ding Lu a long time to catch his breath, and reluctantly propped himself up, panting heavily and not responding.

Chen You pointed at the tip of Ding Lu's nose and said angrily: "You gather people to tell stories, deliberately conceal twists and turns, and confuse the audience, what is your intention!"

Ding Lu slapped himself to wake himself up, and methodically took out a square placket from his bosom, lifted it to his head, and said in one breath, "I sue Your Majesty for killing people like mustards, and losing all conscience!"

A line of big characters was written bloody on the square lapel: Tell the present sage to have evil intentions, kill Ban Shi, abuse imperial power, and blame An Yi, which is intolerable.

Behind the large characters are densely packed small characters, which clearly stated the reasons for the accusation.

Yu Yang immediately dropped the gavel, and with a loud "bang", all the officials knelt down.With ice in his eyes, he said: "Blood spraying, I'm going to commit the crime! Someone, cut off his tongue."

A group of servants walked in.Ding Lu looked at Yu Yang provocatively with the same hostile eyes, and calmly opened his arms for them to capture.

Since Ding Lu can write a book comparable to "Jing Shi Lun", at least he has 1 minds.The old man hurriedly took a step to block the guard, and said to Yu Yang: "Your Majesty, don't be rash. Seeing how calm he is, he must have a perfect plan. Your Majesty will cut off his tongue, although he won't be killed, but in case he commits suicide, it will be settled once and for all, isn't it? Confirm his nonsense yesterday. The people will only doubt the government even more."

Yu Yang: "Dead people don't confuse people with gossip, only after death can they be peaceful."

The old man persuaded: "Your Majesty, he is definitely not..."

Ding Lu interrupted the old man's words: "The grassroots also admire your majesty's courage. Your majesty must be careful, don't lose the big because of small things. A villain's life is worthless, and your majesty's reputation is also worthless? It's hard for your majesty, but it's also hard for a villain. Why don't we make it difficult for us. Your Majesty let go of An Yi, and I will give Your Majesty the name of an upright gentleman, how about it?"

Yu Yang raised his head slightly: "You said that I am a villain."

"Don't dare, grass people are villains. So if An Yi is killed, the villain will guarantee that His Majesty will be stigmatized forever!" Ding Lu's voice was gentle, but he pronounced his words with hatred, without any sinister taste.

"Troublemaker!" Chen You went up and slapped Ding Lu loudly, but it didn't hurt at all.

Xu Yan asked calmly: "Did you spread the rumors that insulted His Majesty?"

Ding Lu grabbed Chen You's hand and bit it, scaring Chen You to retreat far away, and then replied: "Yes. The oil barrels have filled Luocheng, and I'm waiting for His Majesty to set fire to it."

Xu Yan said in an official voice: "Spreading rumors, fanning the flames, and smearing His Majesty has committed a heinous crime. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he should be beheaded for public display."

Ding Lu seized the opportunity and said, "As expected of the Minister of Dali Temple, he governs people according to the laws of the country and is impartial. But if I am not spreading rumors but the facts are the same, then I dare to ask Master Yu, how will you judge?"

Xu Yan tacitly agreed, and Chen You secretly guided: "According to the law, suing the emperor requires signing a life-and-death contract. You can't file a case based on your bloody letter. Do you think that your majesty can be accused by everyone at will? Chaos!"

The life and death contract is also a rule established by the first emperor.If the people want to sue the emperor, they must sign a life-and-death contract, using their lives as a bargaining chip.If it is found that the emperor is indeed guilty, the accuser's life can be saved, and if the emperor is not at fault, he will be executed.This law does not protect the people, because the emperor is not allowed to be questioned at will, and the three ministers were born next to the royal family, and the stakes between them are self-evident. .Unless there is a great hatred of not sharing the sky and willing to be a slave for three lives, no one would choose this bad strategy to confront the emperor.

Ding Lu said freely, "I will sign."

Yu Yang's eyelids closed slightly, revealing a gnawing evil light: "Do you think I dare not punish you? Or do you think you are sure of winning?"

"Try it." Ding Lusheng smiled and whistled at Xu Yan, "Give me the life and death contract. The first emperor never said that the emperor has the power to prevent the people from signing the life and death contract."

The hall fell into silence again, and the air seemed to condense into ice blades, steaming with murderous aura.No one in the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple dared to take out the life and death deed, time seemed to be forbidden.Ding Lu is like a stubborn rock, fitting into the chilling atmosphere, standing upright.

Yu Yang's eyebrows suddenly softened, and his confrontational attitude changed to politeness, he calmly nodded to Xu Yan, and said: "Give it to him." This peace is undoubtedly more sinister than the previous anger.

The little official of Dali Temple tremblingly presented the deed of life and death to Ding Lu. Ding Lu raised his hand to press the red ink pad, and suddenly stopped.

Chen You: "It's too late to regret it now."

Ding Lu twitched his hand, looked up at Yu Yang, saw Yu Yang was looking at him in protest, bent a slight smile, put his finger into his mouth and bit it openly, and generously pressed the blood mark on the life and death deed, Shun put the blood lapel on the tray containing the deed of life and death, as an adverbial.

The petty official presented the signed life-and-death contract and pleadings to Chen You for review, and then to Xu Yan.After Xu Yan looked at it, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will open the case for re-investigation immediately, within ten days, collect evidence according to the pleadings, check whether there is any, and open the church here ten days later. Within ten days, Ding Lu Hand it over to Dali Temple for custody."

"It doesn't take ten days, today is enough, and I don't bother the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I don't need to torture the villain alone, and I don't need the common people to listen." Ding Lu adjusted his clothes, knelt down to the three old people, and saluted respectfully: "The life of a villain is not enough, but if the country of the Great Zhou allows the young master to do anything wrong, I also ask the three seniors to uphold justice and uphold justice. The villain can lose, but your majesty's behavior must be ruled." Then, he knocked heavily a few times a bang.

Signing the life-and-death contract is already in a disadvantageous situation. The reason why the law allows the people to listen is to promote the justice that is almost lingering, so that "suing the emperor" will not be reduced to a formality.But Ding Lu actually chose to give up the public trial, throwing his winning tickets over and over again, as if he didn't want to win the lawsuit.

The old man stroked his beard and nodded slightly.Ding Lu is rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty who cares about the overall situation and understands righteousness. He sacrificed his life not only to save his best friend, but also to wake up the monarch while protecting his reputation.Ding Lu seldom said that he had left a hundred ways for Yu Yang to retreat, and his aggressiveness now was just to threaten Yu Yang to retreat.The old man saw it, but it was a pity that Ding Lu got up.

Yu Yang glanced coldly, indifferent.

After Ding Lu got up, he turned to Xu Yan: "Master Yu, can the trial begin?"

Xu Yan took a look at Yu Yang from the corner of his eye, seeing that Yu Yang didn't signal, he had no choice but to nod feebly in agreement.Chen You sat at the master's table and made the manuscript record himself, while Xu Yan was the presiding judge.The mansion is solemn and depressing, everyone is either in awe or flustered, and the life is as wonderful as a year.

Ding Lu cut to the chase and said, "The reason why I requested a retrial of Ban Shu's case was because of a few unresolved questions, and it was also the reason why I testified against His Majesty as the murderer of Ban Shu. Dare I ask Your Majesty, four years ago, the year of Concubine Zheng, The case record records that you have come to Luocheng to meet Ban Shu, so what is the real reason for His Majesty? What is His Majesty's reason for coming now? Why did His Majesty withdraw the case when Dali Temple asked to re-investigate the Ban Shu case? ? Why did Your Majesty personally investigate the scene? Why did you target An Yi? First, Your Majesty, please answer the first question."

Yu Yang was absent-minded and said nonsense: "I fell in love with you at first sight, so I came to see Concubine Yu."

Ding Lu was still waiting for Yu Yang's explanation, but Yu Yang had already finished his answer, and there was a moment of awkward silence in the classroom.

Ding Lu blinked in astonishment: "That's all?"

Yu Yang: "Yes, that's all."

Ding Lu turned to ask Xu Yan: "Master Yu, can this explanation dispel the suspicion that His Majesty intends to kill Ban Shu?"

Xu Yan: "Ding Lu, [-]% of your accusations are based on groundless suspicions. Since you are accusing His Majesty, you should present conclusive evidence to prove that His Majesty is indeed suspected of murder, instead of relying on a grudge Putting together evidence."

Ding Lu: "Then An Yi said that he liked Ban Shu and only painted "The Picture of Immortals". How could he be refuted for no reason!"

Seeing the slap in the face, Wang Zhifu hurriedly defended himself: "That's because An Yi has too much to do with this case. It is reasonable for me to refute him, how can I say it is groundless. If your idea is true, Your Majesty will come all the way to Luocheng, just to Killing an innocent woman who has never met before? Isn't it nonsense!"

Ding Lu: "Success, let's put this question aside for now. Since His Majesty likes Ban Shu, he arrived in Luocheng in just over [-] days in order to see her beauty. Then it stands to reason that after seeing a beautiful woman, His Majesty should have a good time drinking, talking and drinking. Let's have a long talk. But why is it recorded in the case record: Ban Shu entered the cabinet, and within a moment, the nobleman left. Why did Your Majesty leave in such a hurry?"

This is better explained for Yu Yang: "People are not as good-looking as paintings, I am very disappointed, so I left."

The answer is almost flawless.

Ding Lu was speechless, and was embarrassed for a moment, and said: "Then, please answer the second question, Your Majesty, why did you come to Luocheng now? I heard that Your Majesty came here at the risk of illness. What is it that His Majesty attaches so much importance to?"

"Private visit in micro-service. At that time, I heard that the local officials in Luocheng committed crimes. My heart is for the people, and I am very anxious. It should be."

Wang Zhifu felt a shudder down his spine, he was a bit of a follower, but he didn't do anything stupid to deceive his superiors and his subordinates.

Ding Lu was dumbfounded, he had never seen Yu Yang so brazen before.So he nodded knowingly, and said sarcastically: "Oh, the local officials committed crimes? Jinzhou was hit by a natural disaster a month ago, with frequent floods. There were news of the disaster a few days ago, and more than 100 people died. Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people. Go to Jinju."

Yu Yang palmed the table and said, "It's not your turn to give me advice."

Xu Yan echoed: "Ding Lu, don't torture questions that have nothing to do with this case. This is not your business."

"Okay, okay! Then please answer the third question, Your Majesty, why did you propose to withdraw the case in the first place. Since a case has to be filed and investigated by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there must be a big problem with the original judgment. With the virtue of a monarch , when faced with a case of miscarriage of justice, instead of encouraging strict investigation, it advocates withdrawing the investigation, dare to ask His Majesty why."

"you!…"

The author has something to say:

Let’s note the protagonist’s attack: An whoring (attack)—Yu Yang (receive), Yu Yang (attack)—Mo Zhui (receive)

With Yu Yang's character, he can only be bullied and bullied a little bit. In front of An Xing, he can only be a gentle and virtuous wife like Qianqian.
