Thousands of Mountains

Yin Cen was sitting upright, with his head turned to the front door. He hadn't seen anyone yet, but he had already heard the clinking sound of the shackles and chains hanging on people's bodies and dragging on the ground. Two heads with wild hair on the temples, they slowly approached slowly, and walked outside the gate of the temple.

Shen Cang walked very slowly, and Yin Cen noticed that his right leg seemed to be dragging on the ground all the time, and his heart shuddered. Could it be that the Ministry of Punishment is so bold that it has already used torture in private? !

When the two walked slowly into the hall, Yin Cen was about to speak when Zou Hengkong preempted him and asked Qi Yanzhi, "Mr. Qi Ge, are the two of them convicted now?"

With doubts on his face, Qi Yanzhi looked back at Zou Hengkong, "Of course not yet."

Zou Hengkong looked slightly annoyed, and pointed at the two people in the hall, "Then why is this? The law of our dynasty has long stipulated that those who have not been convicted of a high-ranking official in the dynasty are not required to wear torture instruments in the court trial, and seats can be set up." .”

Qi Yanzhi didn't say anything, but Ruan Mingsha turned back to Zou Hengkong unhurriedly, "The crime of treason and assassination is no small matter. If it wasn't such a serious crime of treason, why would there be a cabinet chief assistant presiding over it? According to the laws of our dynasty, you and I It’s fine to come to trial, Mr. Zou talks about the law like this, but is he saying that even the emperor’s will violates the law?”

Zou Hengair was furious, stared at Ruan Mingsha, and pointed his finger at Ruan Mingsha, unable to express his anger.

Seeing this, Yin Cen also followed, "Master Ruan just said in front of the court that everything will be dealt with according to the laws of Daning, but in private he punished the suspect before the court trial. What kind of law is this obeying?"

As soon as these words came out, both Yun Jianqing and Shen Cang looked at him, but everyone else stared at Ruan Mingsha.

Yin Cen also stared at the other party fiercely, Ruan Mingsha snorted coldly, "A conspiratorial bodyguard, even after being imprisoned, he has to speak quickly. I just teach him a lesson and teach him to be a good man."

Yin Cen was about to have another attack, but Qi Yanzhi was already impatient, and he slapped the startling wooden door hard again, "Are you here to judge the case or fight among ourselves? Now that the suspect is in court, he doesn't know how to investigate the case but focuses on exposing his faults. If he has no intention of trying the case, please You should leave early!"

Only then did everyone fall silent, but Yun Jianqing smiled slightly and said, "Only a false statement made by an assassin who has no evidence of his death before his death can ruin the reputation of Yun Mou in his life without waiting for a trial or waiting for a trial." To plead, you can use torture to extort a confession without permission. Yunmou has never used this method against Japanese pirates in the southeast for 20 years, but now it is used by his colleagues on himself. fail?"

Qi Yanzhi frowned, "Now that you are a suspect, I will no longer call you a general. The suspect, Yun Jianqing, assassinated the Holy Majesty that night. Commander Naixin witnessed it with his own eyes. The assassin said before his death that everyone at the scene I have heard it, how do you argue?"

Yun Jianqing smiled sadly again, "How can I argue? If these two assassins were really driven by me, why were they so stupid to confess me on the spot? Such a crappy and clumsy accusation was regarded as ironclad evidence by everyone, and Yun has nothing to say .”

Xin Shangyun, who had been silent at the side, said angrily at this time, "Crap? Framed? Speaking of such a thing, but there is no evidence of self-proving innocence, how can people be convinced? According to what you said, it is now Are all the courtiers framing the two of you?"

Yun Jianqing sneered, turned his head to look around, and finally returned to Xin Shangyun's face, "You were not there at the time, but Lord Xin and His Highness the Crown Prince could see clearly that the one who captured this moment last night was my bodyguard Shen Cang, if I am the mastermind, why do I need to rescue you in this situation?"

"Naturally, you saw the incident come to light and wanted to save it!" Xin Shangyun said angrily again.

Yin Cen stood up suddenly, everyone in the hall looked at him, he stretched out his hand and waved, "Everyone—" he said, "I suddenly remembered something."

"Yin Yushi, please tell me." Zou Hengkong defended him very much.

Yin Cen pointed at Yun Jianqing and Xin Shangyun, "What do you guys think, if General Ruoyun and Lord Xin fight, which one of the two has a better chance of winning?"

This question has nothing to do with the facts of the case, and everyone had doubts, but Chen Ji and Qin Nianqin quickly guessed what Yin Cen was thinking, and Chen Ji said, "The two adults are both skilled in martial arts. , when it is hard to tell the winner, but if—”

Yin Cen immediately said, "But if Lord Xin is injured, if the two adults fight again, will General Yun be sure to win?"

Everyone nodded, still not knowing what he wanted to ask.

Yin Cen said again, "When General Yun, Shen Shiwei, and His Highness the Crown Prince rushed into the emperor's tent that night, Mr. Xin had already been injured by the drug, and his skills were greatly weakened. At this time, he was struggling with two assassins."

Everyone concentrated, Yin Cen continued, "Let's imagine that General Ruoyun is really the mastermind behind the scenes and wants to assassinate the emperor. Seeing this situation, shouldn't he work with the assassin to easily kill the emperor and Xin?" Should adults kill it together? Why bother to save the emperor."

This makes sense... it seems to make sense.

Jiang Wansheng said disapprovingly, "His Royal Highness is among them, if he wanted to kill someone, wouldn't he be killed together with the Emperor, Lord Xin and His Royal Highness at that time?"

Yin Cen said bluntly, "If you really intend to kill the emperor, if you are forced to do so, you will definitely fight hard, instead of pretending to save him."

As soon as these words came out, Zou Hengkong, Qin Nianqin and Chen Ji all nodded. Qin Nianqin said, "To be honest, I have never understood the reason why General Yun wants to assassinate the emperor? It is the so-called motive for killing."

Ruan Mingsha glanced across, and said disdainfully, "Since ancient times, why do rebellious people have motives? Yun Jianqing was used to being a king without a master in the southeast. This time when he returned to Beijing, the emperor intended to restrain him, but he repeatedly contradicted the order. Then the assassination, isn't the motive obvious enough?"

These words are heartbreaking, Chen Ji squinted his eyes and said, "Master Ruan means that General Yun wants to rebel and become king?"

Ruan Mingsha cupped his hands towards Chen Ji and said, "The old minister is just inferring, whether it is true or not, the trial will have its own results." After speaking, he looked at Qi Yan in the middle.

Everyone has been arguing until now, but Qi Yanzhi has not said a word. Chen Ji turned to him and said, "Old Qi Ge, since you are the presiding interrogator, how about General He Yun's argument for the question raised by Yin Yushi?" look?"

Qi Yanzhi also bowed his hands to Chen Ji, and then looked into the hall, "Yin Yushi and Yun Jianqing's words are all inferences, there is no real evidence, and they can't be counted in the court trial. If you have real evidence, you can Argue again."

Yin Cen was angry, Qi Yanzhi's old fox!Habitual meetings and mixed mud seem to be impartial, but in fact they drag the case into a blur. When the delay is exhausted, they can be convicted according to the order of the superior and the case can be closed.

As for which boss it is, Yin Cen can't help but sneer, no matter what year or month, there are always so many restless people.

Shen Cang, who stood dragging one leg for a long time, said, "The general and I didn't know each other about the assassin that night, but they both claimed to be from the Funan Camp. There are so many soldiers in the Funan Camp. People are also unknown, but there is one thing that can be judged.”

Qi Yanzhi said, "How to judge?"

Shen Cang said, "That night I saw that the weapons used by the two of them looked like the unique Yun's sword in the Funan camp. You don't know, the Yun's sword was forged by General Naiyun himself to fight against the Japanese pirates. The number is not large. Only elites can hold it, and they have a record book, and the Yun family knife is extremely difficult to control, and the body of the knife is a knife captured by Japanese pirates, and it will be reforged after being fused with my Chaonan knife."

Shen Cang paused, and then said, "Didn't you all say that you want proof? At this time, the witness is dead, and the remaining weapons are the best proof. First, you can send someone to Funanying to verify the possession of the Yun Family Knife. The sergeant, the second is to check whether this knife is an imitation."

As soon as this remark came out, Yin Cen and Shen Cang looked at each other from a distance, and knew in his heart that Brother Shen had already seen the difference in this knife, so he told him to keep an eye on it to check it out, so he followed closely and said, "This time What people say is true, now I am waiting in this court for trial, and the trial and trial are all inferred from each other, if we don't make a conclusion after examining the remaining evidence, how about Qi Ge's will?"

Qi Yanzhi seemed to be thinking, he didn't want to drag the case into a more complicated situation, if Yun Jianqing couldn't defend himself anyway, he could commit the crime and hand it over to the emperor, but Shen Cang suddenly raised the question Checking the physical evidence... He took a look at Xin Shangyun, this guy was too unclean, and such evidence was brought back to Beijing, how could he say no to the current situation...

At this moment, the hall was very quiet, and everyone seemed to have their own thoughts. Yin Cen and Chen Ji glanced at each other, and Chen Ji touched Qi Yanzhi's arm again, "Mr. Ge—please make a judgment."

Only then did Qi Yanzhi speak slowly, "The evidence...of course it needs to be inspected, Mr. Xin, since you brought the evidence back, how about..."

Before he finished speaking, Zou Hengkong got up and took a step, "Commander Xin is also in charge of patrolling inside and outside the capital, so the investigation will naturally be handed over to our Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yin Cen—"

"The lower official is here!" Yin Cen immediately stood up and responded, "The lower official is taking orders."

The speed was so fast that Qi Yanzhi didn't have time to interrupt, Yin Cen said again, "For the sake of fairness, Mr. Jiang also sent Mr. Qin Nianqian to investigate together with the subordinates, so as not to find out something, and my lords don't believe it. "

Chen Ji also said at this time, "The Yunnan tea tax case is thanks to the cooperation of the two lords. The integrity and loyalty of the two lords have already been tested. This time it is just an examination of evidence. I believe the two lords will be able to give a fair conclusion. "

Having said that, Qi Yanzhi had no choice but to nod, "Then I will leave it to the two of you."

When Yun Jianqing and Shen Cang were taken down again, Chen Ji said to Ruan Mingsha again, "Master Ruan knows how to treat officials who have not been convicted even if they are in prison. What is the physical difference between the two of them, Mr. Ruan, you can't get rid of it."

Ruan Mingsha was sweating, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, the lower officials will take good care of the subordinates in prison."

During the interrogation by the three divisions, Chen Ze was in the Guangming Hall, and Fang Shoujing handed over the pill, "Your Majesty was shocked."

Chen Ze took the Yuhong Danwan and took it down with water, his face was slumped, "I have cultivated to this day, but I really feel that I have nothing to worry about outside, and I will wait for the catastrophe to come, and God will take me away."

Fang Shoujing held Fuchen in his arms, and said calmly, "It will be a matter of time before His Majesty ascends, and then he will be free from this mundane affairs."

Chen Ze started to laugh from the bottom of his heart, and kept laughing until his whole body trembled, "How many people fought for the seat, but it has become a vulgar matter in your mouth."

Fang Shoujing also smiled, "How can I, as a cultivator, care about worldly fame and fortune? Your Majesty has practiced for these years, and the understanding is not deep enough."

Chen Ze closed his smile, his eyes were deep, he got up from the couch, his long sleeves were fluttering, he bent down and looked at Fang Shoujing, "You said, for a person like me who is always stuck in ordinary affairs with one foot and cannot get out, God will call Me?"

Fang Shoujing's face remained unchanged, his eyebrows drooped slightly, "Naturally, your Majesty's heart of cultivating Taoism can be learned from heaven."

Chen Ze straightened up and laughed, the Guangming Hall was empty, and the laughter echoed everywhere.

At this moment He Jin's figure appeared outside the hall, Gao Ren glanced at it, and said to Chen Ze, "Your Majesty, the empress is waiting outside the hall again."

Chen Ze walked into the hall without looking back, "Tell her to go back, I won't see you!"

He Jin outside the hall also heard it, his face was troubled, Gao Ren said again, "Since the emperor returned to the palace last night, the empress has come here for the third time, does the emperor want to..."

Chen Ze turned around abruptly, "Are you confused!"

Gao Ren quickly fell silent, and waved his hand sideways to He Jin.

Qiu Yiren stood outside the hall with a rather resentful expression.
