high official

Chapter 577 Finally confessed

"How did you stand up for him?" Judge Cui asked.

"On the one hand, I asked Ji Gang to help me resist the pressure from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and keep Zhang Gouzi's status as a Jinyiwei! On the other hand, Beizhen Fusi also filed a case for investigation, but in fact he was threatening witnesses, annihilating evidence, and muddying the case. .” Li Chun confessed.

"You led this, so how could it be called Ji Gang's instigation?" Judge Cui said in a deep voice.

"In the beginning, the villain was really in the lead, but later, Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not agree to release Zhang Gouzi, which angered Ji Gang. He thought that the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not take him seriously, so he took over the leadership. Later, the villain and his nephew All kinds of behaviors are all at his behest!" Li Chun betrayed Ji Gang thoroughly: "Besides, Ji Gang is not a purely emotional dispute, he was disgraced because of Zhou Xin's case at that time... In fact, Zhou Xin's case is exactly the same In order to maintain his authority, Ji Gang slandered and framed the ministers. He emphasized to the emperor that the civil servants had been targeting Jin Yiwei. In fact, it was Xiang Zhuang who danced the sword with the intention of Peigong to challenge the authority of the emperor. At that time, Zhou Xin's case Bewitched by him, but in the end Zhou Xin was released and the official was reinstated, which made the emperor very embarrassed and dissatisfied with Ji Gang. Ji Gang urgently needs to prove to the emperor that there are indeed officials targeting Jin Yiwei. Even if there is no case, he will He will take advantage of other opportunities. So the case was completely taken advantage of by him, and he was indeed leading it."

Yan Wangye and Judge Cui looked at each other, and listened to Zhang Chun's words: "It was Zhuang Jing who advised Ji Gang on what happened later, and he asked Ji Gang to deliberately quarrel with Liu Shangshu in front of the Meridian Gate, which alarmed the emperor. The emperor called them to the imperial court and asked them why they were arguing. The two insisted that Qi Dazhu was the murderer, and the other insisted that Zhang Gouzi was the murderer. Censor Wang Zhang will try the case again."

"Wang Zhang and Ji Gang are from Shandong, and they have a good relationship. He was able to become the chief constitution, and Ji Gang also contributed. So Ji Gang thought that Wang Zhang would favor himself in the retrial, but who knew that Wang Zhang was not sympathetic. In the third trial, the original sentence of the Criminal Ministry will be maintained!" Zhang Chun continued to confess: "But he hesitated for too long, Ji Gang had already guessed that this nerd would do bad things, Ji Gang went to the emperor earlier and cried, saying that all these years, The Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has long been dissatisfied with Jin Yiwei's infringement of the power of the Judiciary. This time they must unite and want to use this case to overwhelm the Beizhen Fusi, and then take back the judicial power. Therefore, the final judgment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely be biased. From the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"As soon as the verdict came out, as Ji Gang said, the emperor thought he was right. The Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Criminal Ministry was suppressing Jin Yiwei, beating dogs and bullying the master. The emperor was furious and immediately suspended Liu Shangshu and Wang Zongxian. Duty, and ordered two criminals to give the case a fourth trial. If there is any mistake, they will be punished severely! The emperor's intention is obvious, that is, to let them overturn the conclusion of the criminal department. Seeing that the two elders have sacrificed their lives to protect the law, how can they lag behind? Not only did they maintain the original sentence, but they went a step further, denouncing Jin Yiwei for interfering in the judiciary, shielding offenders, asking the emperor to limit the power of the Beizhen Fusi, to maintain the authority of the judiciary and so on... …These two pig-like comrades originally wanted to support the two elders, but unexpectedly fell into Ji Gang's scheme. The more they yelled like this, the more angry the emperor was, thinking that what Ji Gang said was right, there was indeed a thought Deal with Jin Yiwei, and then the civil official group that seized power with the emperor!"

"In a fit of rage, the emperor sent all the judiciary officials who tried the case to prison, and then ordered the Dali Temple to try the case for the fifth time! Zhuang Jing said that Hu Gai, the secretary of the Dali Temple, is not as stubborn as those who were arrested. He cared more about his own glory and wealth. Sure enough, Hu Gai was terrified. He knew that if he insisted on the original sentence, he would immediately go to jail to accompany those judicial officials, and take over the responsibility of overthrowing the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In conclusion, Qi Dazhu was found to be the murderer, and Zhang Gouzi was acquitted."

"What happened to the blacksmith's death? Why did he want you to pay for it?" Judge Cui asked.

"That's because Governor Ji ordered us to forge evidence and help Dali Temple solve the case. The burden that Dali Temple dug up from near Qi Dazhu's house was actually buried by us." Li Chundao: "And the murder weapon is that I let my nephew in Zhang The beating in the blacksmith's shop did not intend to kill him to silence him, but he did it just in case when he found out that Mrs. Yan Langzhong's wife was investigating the case secretly."

"You dog thief, you are so vicious!" Blacksmith Zhang, who was bleeding from all seven orifices, shouted, "I dare not reveal your secrets at all!"

"Silence!" Yan Wangye snapped the case and stopped Blacksmith Zhang's evil ghost.Judge Cui asked Li Chundao again: "You say that the mastermind of this case is Ji Gang, which is somewhat reasonable. But for your statement to be true, you have to determine the key point - did you tell Ji Gang the truth about the case? If you didn't tell him, he Still be deceived!"

"Of course I told him. Ji Gang is the most shrewd and vicious. If he finds out that I have been deceived by him afterwards, he will definitely not let me go!" Li Chun hurriedly shouted: "Of course I told the whole case and offered a jasper watermelon. That's why Ji Gang agreed to help me!"

"Even if he knew about it, when did he know about it?" Judge Cui asked, "If he only found out about it after the face-off, it would be considered a difficult situation, and he had to do it because he was coerced by you!"

"Before he quarreled with Liu Shangshu, he knew everything!" Li Chun was completely led by the nose, and he sold Ji Gang completely: "I told him the whole situation early in the morning, and he still has nothing to do with Zhuang Jing discussed this! He knew that he was deceiving the Sacred Heart and pretending to be Weifu, but he was not worried at all, because he had served the emperor for more than ten years, and he had already figured out the emperor's temper. He knew that the emperor was most afraid of challenges from his subjects With his authority, as long as he says that someone wants to seize the emperor's power, the emperor will rather be in vain than let him go. He has tried this trick time and again, and I don't know how many people he has killed with the emperor's hand..."

Li Chun was talking vigorously when he suddenly heard a deafening shout from behind the dark curtain on the left side of the main hall:

"enough!"

Then the curtain was lifted, and a tall figure came out angrily. Looking at the King of Hades and Judge Cui, they were all prostrate on the ground, trembling.Li Chunxin said, my God, there is still someone who can scare Lord Yan into such a state. Could it be that the Jade Emperor has come?
He was in a daze when he saw many people pouring out from both sides of the person, and the lights in the hall were lit up one by one, and in a blink of an eye it was like white ground.Li Chun squinted his eyes for a moment to adapt, and finally saw who the angry figure was. He was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, what are you doing in the underworld? Could it be that... you... died..."

At this point, he still thought he was in the underworld. It can be seen that Yan Qing's scene is so realistic that Li Chun has no doubts about it.

"Slap your mouth!" He is covered in clouds and mist here, but the others are very sober. Hearing him say such rebellious words, they were shocked and furious, and two big inner guards stepped forward and slapped Li Chun hard twice. On the face, he was immediately beaten so that his nose bleeds profusely, and half of his mouth full of teeth fell out.

Li Chun looked at the shadows all over the ground, and then he came back to his senses, what kind of hell is this, there are no shadows in the underworld!ah!It turned out that I was tricked by them!Even being watched by the emperor, Li Chun's liver and gallbladder were torn apart immediately, and he fell on the ground like mud.

Zhu Di's face was livid, and his expression was more terrifying than that of Lord Hades just now. Although he tried his best to suppress his anger, his chest couldn't help heaving and his fists were clenched!In fact, when he came today, he was mentally prepared that he might lose face.But he never expected that the slap in the face was so loud - Li Chun actually said that Ji Gang had figured himself out, he could use his weakness, manipulate his emotions, and regard himself, the self-proclaimed wise and mighty emperor, as his own. A tool for eradicating dissidents and Weifu's self-professionalism!

How could Emperor Yongle, who had always been conceited, not be ashamed and indignant?How can we not smoke from the seven orifices?He really couldn't listen anymore, and if he continued listening, he didn't know what disgusting words Li Chun would say, completely trampling on his pride and self-esteem as an emperor!
So Zhu Di couldn't help but come out from behind the scenes, and interrupted this "wonderful performance" violently. At this moment, the emperor stood furiously on the main hall. tone.

The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.Everyone knelt on the ground in silence, even the instigator Wang Xian was so frightened that his heart beat, and he secretly shouted, this is broken, too much force!In case the old emperor wants to kill everyone present if he loses face, what should I do?Surely you can't stretch your neck and let him kill?But how can escape?

Wang Xianzheng was thinking wildly, and finally heard the emperor say: "Let's end the trial here, kill this crazy dog!" After finishing speaking, Zhu Di gave a fierce look to the group of people in strange clothes kneeling on the ground, and through the gap between his teeth A few words popped out: "Whoever dares to reveal a word about today's matter will be killed without mercy!"

"Your servant will obey your orders," everyone hurriedly kowtowed their heads vigorously to promise, "Your servant will not dare to reveal a single word!"

"Hmph..." Zhu Di snorted, and left with a livid face.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong also followed out. Before leaving, he sighed to Zhang Mi and Wang Xian: "Your play is really beautiful!"

"Of course," Zhang Min said with a sneer, "I've said it all, it will definitely be unforgettable for you forever."

"I think I've forgotten all about it!" Zhu Yong said depressedly, "You two have made me suffer..."

"Haha, you are still afraid of such a thing as a dignified prince," Zhang Min said indifferently, "Hurry up and follow, the emperor will think you are an accomplice if you stay for a long time."

"Then I'll leave quickly." Zhu Yong's complexion changed, he nodded at Wang Xian, then turned around and left.
