Jingming

Chapter 94

From within the gate of the Ministry of Punishment, officials, soldiers and soldiers all treated them with awe.

On the street outside the criminal department, Zhu Houxuan sat on a large chair and looked at the residential buildings in the capital.

Those who can live near here are naturally not ordinary people.

With Zhu Houcong's disposition, he felt relieved when he left the Forbidden City today.Zhu Houzhao, who was also enthroned at the age of 15, always wanted to run away, which is really understandable.

What's more, he was facing the cabinet trio of Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang.

But even though Yang Tinghe is the only one with high reputation in the current cabinet, and Zhu Houcong gave enough prestige at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, can he really rest easy?

After stepping into the gate of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhu Houcong focused his attention.

Yang Tinghe and others are right in front of them.

Four cabinet ministers, six ministries and nine ministers, and the ministers of the five mansions Hou Bo and Wei Bin involved in the case in yesterday's memorial also arrived.

Many people looked at Yang Ting and them with the same hatred.

Such high positions must be appointed by the holy will, but Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, Zhang Zilin and others seem to be weak.

But Yang Tinghe's expression was calm, and after seeing him, he asked for an order: "Your Majesty wants to hear the trial and order the ministers to attend the trial, will you all stand in the hall?"

"Prepare some stools, just sit and listen on one side of the lobby."

Zhu Houcong walked into the lobby where the Ministry of Criminal Justice used to interrogate felons first, and Huang Jin had already prepared the small chair he brought over.

"Your Majesty won't be promoted?" Zhang Zilin was taken aback.

"I'll sit here, and all the gentlemen sit over there."

Zhu Houcong's "throne seat" was set next to the desk of the book office, or the lower side closer to the door.

The direction he pointed was the opposite.

It does not occupy the normal space of the tribunal of the three judiciary, as if it is really just to observe, instead of sitting at the top condescendingly.

After a while of busy work, many small round stools were moved in.

All the ministers took their seats after thanking them again.

Zhang Zilin walked towards the presiding judge with some trepidation. On both sides of him were the tables and chairs sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple.

Xie Changjie secretly glanced diagonally at the calm emperor, making him sit more condescendingly, and Xie Changjie became nervous instead.

"let's start."

Just as Zhu Houcong finished giving his orders, Zhang Zilin stood up and bent over and asked, "Your Majesty, should I have another trial like yesterday, or continue with the trial?"

"I already know the previous situation, and then I will go to the next trial."

Zhang Zilin took the order to sit down, and frowned slightly after asking someone to lift Jiang Bin up.

Then the trial went down, and a lot of people involved in the case were sitting here. Could it be that His Majesty came to see them confront Jiang Bin?

After looking at Yang Tinghe uneasily, his face was calm.

The lobby was so quiet waiting for Jiang Bin's arrival.

The sound of the shackles being dragged on the ground came from far to near, and a loud voice shouted outside the door: "Bring the prisoner!"

"Go to court!"

Zhu Houcong looked sideways.

In the lobby, the most prominent civil servants in the court were all present, and they all turned their heads to look at the door.

In the past, who among them could not worry about Jiang Bin?

Today, he is a prisoner on death row.

It was brighter outside the door, and Jiang Bin's face was hidden in the light.

It wasn't until he strenuously lifted his foot over the high threshold that the familiar face became real.

I lost a lot of weight, and my beard and hair became a lot whiter.

"Criminal Jiang Bin, why don't you kowtow to Your Majesty?"

Zhang Zilin stood up first, and bowed his hands in the direction of Zhu Houcong.

After Jiang Bin was caught, he was first deprived of all official titles and titles under the order of Queen Mother Zhang Yi. Now he first looked at the emperor who was sitting peacefully in the middle surrounded by four guards.

After smiling, he first looked at those old friends opposite Zhu Houcong, especially Yang Tinghe and Wei Bin.

"Bold!" Zhang Zilin slapped the gavel, "I have no king, I deserve death! Come!"

Zhu Houcong didn't say a word, let's see how they play.

"I have been designated as a treasonous minister by you. Isn't it strange that you still have the emperor in your eyes?" Jiang Bin seemed to be amused. Well, this should be the last time I can see an old acquaintance. People who are about to die are not speechless. If you ask your majesty, the sinner will tell you the truth."

He turned to Zhu Houcong after speaking, knelt down and saluted with difficulty, and then sat on the ground in his comfortable posture.

Zhu Houcong continued with a calm face.

Zhang Zilin patted the gavel twice: "Kneel down to hear the trial! Jiang Bin, the three judges will be interrogated. How dare you despise the court like this?"

"Big Sikou, you've already suffered all kinds of hardships, why are you still obsessed with these superficial articles?" Jiang Bin replied wearily and lazily, "Your Majesty is here to see the killing power of the Sanfa Division, and we should try the case quickly." Bar."

Liang Chu looked at Yang Tinghe, and saw that he was still calm, just like His Majesty opposite.

Zhang Zilin was furious in his heart: This is the court where he presided over the trial, the criminals are so arrogant, if the trial is really held as he wants, will he lose the majesty of the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment?
This fellow said with a gun and a stick that His Majesty didn't come to see the killing power of the Sanfa Division, his heart is to be punished!
"Your Majesty." He stood up and asked for an order, "The prisoner is unruly, if he is forced to kneel down to listen to the trial, he will frighten the Holy Driver..."

"The fire from the Rijing Sect didn't even startle me." Zhu Houcong said flatly, "Trial as you want."

There was thunder on the ground, and Yang Tinghe finally changed his expression.

It seems that if you just say that you should use punishment, you will use punishment, and the emperor will not be afraid.

So what are you talking about about Nishikimen?
Jiang Bin's eyes suddenly sharpened a lot, and he looked directly at Zhu Houcong.

Those were not eyes that belonged to a 15-year-old boy.

"The fire at Rijingmen...hehe." Jiang Bin, who had just heard about this, moved his feet and knelt down after he had heard about it in a low voice. "Your Majesty has a lot to do every day, so I don't want to bother you, Chief Sikou, just ask."

Zhang Zilin sat down with a sullen face.

If the emperor wasn't here, the water fire stick would have greeted him long ago.How dare you not kneel when you have no official status in court?

But now, it's not easy to forcibly kill him with this tired attitude.

He looked down at the file on the case in front of him, and fixed his eyes on Jiang Bin: "Yesterday, you confessed that Liang Cixi, the son of Grand Scholar Liang Chu's Jinyiwei Baihu, once led the army to slaughter him because of a land dispute with Yang Duan, a wealthy businessman in Nanhai County. There are more than 5000 people in the Yang family and close neighbors. You once accepted Liang Chu’s bribe of [-] taels of silver to help him cover up the case, and Liang Ci was only sentenced to be exiled to the frontier. Is that right?”

"Yes." Jiang Bin smiled and looked at Liang Chu, "Old Liang Ge, is that right or not?"

Among the ministers, Liang Chu's eyes were dim, and he squeezed the speech table in his sleeve.

Zhu Houcong's expression remained calm.

"You also confessed that when Tang Majiu rebelled, the commander-in-chief you recommended killed Liang and pretended to be meritorious. It was you who donated 47 fine houses in the capital to Wang Qiong, then Shangshu of the Ministry of War. This merit was fulfilled. The crime of killing a good soldier and taking meritorious service has not been brought to justice, has it?"

"Yes. A certain said it. A dying person knows everything, and the chief officer is bold enough to ask. What he said yesterday is true. Let's ask something new."

Among the officials, Wang Qiong didn't dare to look at Zhu Houcong's face, but there was an Earl of the Five Houses who was on pins and needles.

Zhu Houcong's expression remained calm.

The two living officials were also listening, and Yan Song looked at Zhu Houcong worriedly.

If you dare to present it in front of the emperor, and dare to ask such a question face to face, then I am afraid that the evidence is indeed conclusive.

If Liang Chu, Wang Qiong and more people were convicted because of this, the imperial court in Beijing would unstoppably gather towards Yang Tinghe.

Zhang Zilin took a deep breath, stood up again and saluted Zhu Houcong: "Your Majesty, if the trial continues, it's time to ask the colleagues involved in the case to refute and provide evidence."

Zhu Houcong's face was still calm.

He nodded: "Isn't it all here? As I said, the trial can be done in any way."
