Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 2 The thunder is loud and the rain is soft?
  "I said...where are you running?"

Su Xian could clearly feel her mother's body trembling violently for a moment, and the arm holding him also began to tremble.

As for his father, Su Guiyuan, his face suddenly turned pale.

In the end, he froze in place, and even his neck seemed to be stiff!
  "Run, where can you run? Su Guiyuan, why haven't I seen you so bold?"

"Everyone in the Ministry of Household Affairs has been ordered not to take a step forward, so you have to be brave!"

"You are looking for death, and who do you want to drag down?"

The cold voice was filled with anger and a bit of mockery.

Su Guiyuan turned his head stiffly, his eyes full of fear and sadness.

When he saw a thin man with a slightly slumped neck at the door, his voice trembled. "Li...Master Li...?"

Su Xian also looked.

The person who came was wearing a black brocade robe, and his face looked pale now. He didn't know what he was holding, his hands were wrapped in a layer of black cloth, and his eyes were looking at Su Guiyuan coldly.

Information flashed in Su Xian's mind.

Li Xie!

What you grind is what you grind.

Father's immediate boss.

"What's the matter? Humph!"

"I really don't know if you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid. You still want to run away at this time. Can you run away?"

"Now, although those eyes are still focused on those big shots, it is not my turn to look after them, but where is the capital?"

"The more you run, the faster you die!"

Li Xie mocked first, then looked behind Su Guiyuan.

Su Guiyuan moved his steps and stood in front of his mother.

His tone was pleading, "Master Li, I don't want to run away, but this matter has nothing to do with the two of them. Please forgive them for the sake of our long-term colleagues..."

Li Xie sneered, his anger becoming more and more obvious.

"I'll let you go, but who will let me go?"

talking.

He raised his hands.

Su Guiyuan's expression was stunned.

Su Xian also opened his eyes and looked curiously.

When Li Xie came in, his hands seemed to be holding something, covered by a layer of black cloth.

But now move towards it.

Wow...

The crisp sound of iron chains sounded.

The black cloth was also thrown away by his movement, and half of it was lifted.

And this time.

Only then did Su Xian see the black and heavy "shackles" on the other party's arms!
  Mr. Li, has been tortured.

Su Guiyuan obviously didn't know what to say, his eyes were dull and he was speechless. ,

After a long while, all he could say was, "This... this..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" A flash of anger flashed across Li Xie's face.

"I really thought you were smart enough to run out ahead of time?"

"The reason why you and I can walk around outside now is because there are too many people in the prison and the official positions are too high. You and I are not qualified to squeeze in."

"In addition, there is an order from above. Even if you are guilty, you must continue to do things."

"The case will be decided by then, let's kill it together!"

Su Guiyuan's expression trembled.

Su Xian noticed that her mother also swayed and was almost frightened to the point of being unable to stand.

And he himself took this opportunity to change his mind.

Thoughts of more soon.

I remember hearing such an interesting story when I was reading relevant records.

When Emperor Hongwu handled a major case, anyone involved, regardless of official position, should be put to death.

And the result is...

In a short period of time, many government offices became empty.

But for the sake of the Yamen running as usual.

Emperor Hongwu gave special approval. Although he was guilty, the matter still had to be done.

So he showed up, shackled, and first acted as a judge to interrogate the criminals below.

Don’t rest when you’re done.

Kneel down again, and then accept the trial of the person above.

in the end……

It’s all about the criminals trying the criminals!
  "There is an order from above!"

Suddenly, Li Xie looked to the side and shouted:
  "Due to changes in the astrology, Your Majesty wants to personally intervene in this case!"

"All the principals, investigators, and assisting officials involved in the Kongyin case, regardless of their official position or the severity of their crimes, are all involved in this case."

"Immediately write down everything I have seen and heard in the past few years into a memorial, and submit it to the public as soon as possible!"

Speaking of this, Li Xie's voice gradually became colder.

"If anyone dares to hide it, he will be executed immediately once discovered!"

Su Guiyuan's figure trembled.

But he saw Li Xie looking aside again. The voice suddenly became louder, "Do you hear me clearly?"

Su Guiyuan nodded immediately.

But that's it.

A very fast and soft voice came quickly.

"Be smart about what you should write and what you shouldn't write. The meaning above is very clear. This case is too big to be finalized. Although the Holy Emperor is shocked and angry, His Royal Highness is also responsible for this case!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince is kind-hearted and will never let such a shocking murder happen in our Ming Dynasty."

"Moreover..."

"The case of the empty seal has been like this in all dynasties. Although the Holy Emperor is shocked and angry, he will understand it after thinking about it. He will understand everyone's difficulty and will not kill indiscriminately. He will only hold it up high and put it down gently."

"Never really admit your guilt!"

"All you need to do is defend yourself, and when the time comes, a big shot will intercede for the case!"

He spoke very fast, and Su Guiyuan quickly looked at him in confusion.

And it happened to be at this moment.

"What are you talking about?"

A cold-blooded voice suddenly sounded, and Su Guiyuan's eyelids twitched.

Only then did he realize it.

It turned out that ten steps behind Li Xie, hidden in the shadow of the night, there were two people watching here.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, for some reason, Su Guiyuan became visibly panicked when he thought of certain existences.

He has a cowardly character to begin with, but this time he took advantage of the opportunity to run out and let the two of them run out before the curfew. It took all his courage.

Now get "caught" again.

He also saw the person who belonged to His Majesty and was specialized in handling iron cases, and he immediately became even more frightened.

And this time.

Li Xie quickly turned around and replied with a trembling voice: "Several adults and villains, this is to warn him to say whatever he wants. The memorial that the Holy Lord personally asked for will never be deceived!"

And at this time.

After hearing Li Xie's warning, Su Guiyuan clearly felt his breathing speeding up.

Yes!

The blank seal case... No, to be precise, it is a blank document with an official seal, it is not a case at all!
  The Holy One must not have understood.

So when I first heard about it, I was extremely angry.

But once you figure it out, you won’t pursue it.

What's more, what Mr. Li said is true, the Emperor asked His Highness the Crown Prince to handle the case this time.

The prince has a kind heart and will never let the chief seal officials from various places, as well as all the personnel from the household department, be buried in this "unjust case".

In addition, big shots will also beg for mercy...

Although Su Guiyuan didn't know who the big shots were, in today's court situation, there were only a few who could really be called big shots.

If they can speak in front of the Holy One, little people like them will have a chance to survive.

"You only need to plead, not admit guilt!"

"You only need to defend yourself, not admit guilt..."

this moment.

Su Guiyuan whispered repeatedly in his heart, becoming more and more convinced.

What's more, he is not guilty at all!
  The Holy One asked me to write about "what I have seen and heard" in the past few years. Just write. What are you afraid of?
  Su Guiyuan comforted himself over and over again.

And after Li Xie finished speaking.

He warned Su Guiyuan with his eyes again, and then looked behind him.

"My lords, I've finished."

"Let's go, next one."

The figure in the dark nodded and immediately pointed outside.

Li Xie raised his hands again, turned and left.

Su Xian vaguely heard the footsteps of dozens of people gradually moving away.

however.

After he left, the two figures outside did not leave. They just stood at the door with sharp eyes.

"Before tomorrow morning, everything you write must be handed over to us. If you can't hand it over, you will die!"

Poor Su Guiyuan has been in the nursing home for many years and has never interacted with these people at all.

He didn't even know what to say.

I can only nod quickly.

At the same time, the identity of those people was becoming more and more decided in his heart.

The pro-military captain's mansion!
  ……

At this time, Su Xian saw the scene just now and heard it in his ears.

But he was shocked.

Is this person coming here to make a joke?

What kind of saint wouldn't kill someone for real?

Why is His Royal Highness the Prince so kind-hearted?

What is lifted high and put down gently!

According to them, could it be that the historical blank seal cases were still fake?
  They didn't really think that Emperor Hongwu was joking with them, right?

If my father really followed his "saying"...

That's really dead!
