The Four Great Cases of Wu Zetian

Chapter 45

Li's family searched the cellar and was promoted to the lobby to make a copy of the confession

But when Huaiyi saw what Di Gong said, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and said: "The monk is ordered by the holy order to be an abbot here. Why do you call it a criminal? Wang Yushu's daughter-in-law, who cheated her, how can my lord listen to one-sided words?" Do you think it's love?" Wu Sansi said from the side: "My lord, wait for the interrogation before interrogation. At this time, there is no distinction, and you can't order the imperial monk, so you kneel down." Di Gong said: "No. Wang Yushu is also a Jinshi, and he will never disregard shame and control others. Judging from the murder case, in front of his temple, no matter whether he was planning or not, there is no reason not to call for help when killing someone. Since he is a resident servant in the temple According to this theory, you can't stay out of the matter. Moreover, Wang Yushu is the accused, and he has to kneel down even though he has not been interrogated. This court is also an imperial envoy. Although he is the abbot , is to give him to practice in this temple, not to give him to break the law here, or to use the word "chici" as a talisman. Isn't he punished for killing people? We know that Wang Yushu's matter is well known in the context, if If you don't strictly examine and understand, if there is a civil uprising, can your lord bear it?" These words made Wu Sansi afraid to speak.Di Gong yelled at Huaiyi again, "you traitor monk, what you have done, this court knows everything. When you come here today, do you still want to be favored and not kneel down? If you violate it again, this court will take away the long live card Come, punish with punishment!
"Hui Yi saw that at this moment, Wu Sansi had already robbed him of his excuses and was too speechless, so he had to kneel down on his knees.

Di Gongdao: "You have committed a serious crime, and you can't escape. Let's roughly say, whose family are these two corpses? Why did you kill her because you refused to commit adultery?" Huaiyi hurriedly said: "This is a monk who is really Injustice. If it is said that I see death and do not save, there are no less than twenty or thirty people entering the house in this monastery. How can they hear what happened at the gate of the mountain? So he ordered him to guard at the mountain gate. It is not a day and a night to hold grudges and hold righteousness. I heard that he cheated on women and walked around in front of the mountain gate. The monk was afraid that what he had heard was wrong. , then made a fuss about it, and just asked the adults to send him to ask about it." Di Gongdao: "Since you know about this, why didn't you expel him from the temple earlier for the sake of the Ming Dynasty? It can be seen that Ru Peng compared to him He was an accomplice beforehand and blamed it on him afterwards. This court will ask you after it has been verified.

"Speaking, got up, and went out of the mountain gate with Sansi.

I saw the clerk as early as I saw, and I was serving there. At that time, I was promoted to the public seat.After the examination of Wu's work according to the law, he drank the report that he died of a knife wound, filled out the corpse, and entered the temple again.Di Gong ordered Jinghui to be brought here. When Jinghui arrived in front of the hall, she had already knelt down.Di Gong shouted: "You are a bald dog. The Holy Majesty ordered you to guard the gate of the mountain to be cautious about entering and leaving. Why do you take revenge and harbor righteousness and act boldly to do such illegal things! Who are these two women? Why do you want to kill her?" Murder?" Jinghui took Mrs. Qiao's idea, and said, "Your Excellency, I see it! Since the monks entered the temple, they have been cautious; they never dared to go beyond the etiquette. Yesterday at three drums, the mountain gate was not closed yet, so we went out at that time. Xiaojie, suddenly seeing this dead body, it is obviously the work of the enemy.

Ask your lord to see clearly. " Di Gong said angrily at that time: "you are bald, and you still say it's none of your business. Why don't you close it in the middle of the night?There are flaws in this statement, and it is not true! "

Jinghui said: "This matter is still none of my business. I beg you to ask Huaiyi." Di Gong said: "Huaiyi, do you hear? Anguan Temple is a clean and quiet place. It is reasonable to close the gate of the temple in the afternoon. Why is it quiet at night? Deeper, let him come and go?" After hearing this, Huaiyi feared that Jinghui would tell the truth, so he hurriedly said, "Master Jing, don't confuse me. Now Master Di and Emperor Wu are here together, it is by order. Come here, do you know? The gate of the mountain under your control never closes, so why push it on me?"

Knowing that he told him that Wu Sansi came out of the palace and asked him to take office first, Di Gong quickly shouted: "Jinghui, are you going to recruit or not? If you don't tell me, this court will definitely use severe punishment!" Huidao: "Your Excellency sees it clearly! Although the monks know all about this, they dare not say it by themselves. All the reasons are at the entrance of the front hall. Please find out and find out, Your Excellency."

After hearing this, Duke Di thought to Wu Sansi: "This court doesn't know that he has many dark rooms. Since Jinghui said so, let's go and find out with the adults." go together.

At this time, Wu Sansi was worried, and said: "The inside is the place where the Holy One offers incense. If you don't tell me, how can you enter without authorization? Please think twice about this matter." Di Gong said with a sneer: "Your Royal Family, don't say anything. Don't the officials know? We know that there have always been monasteries where they have visited. If he is planning to do something wrong, if he doesn't investigate, how can the truth be revealed? This court is willing to accept the crime. If we don't investigate at this time, when will it be? "Wu Sansi said: "Since my lord wants to do it, he can't disturb the forbidden area with Jinghui's one-sided words. If there is no flaw, what will happen then?" Di Gongdao: "Since the royal family is so serious, first order Jinghui to have a happy knot. , and then pursue it." At that time, the secretary wrote the knot and ordered Jinghui to finish the painting, and then walked through the main hall, entered through the moon cave gate, and rang the bell.Jinghui is originally a monk in the temple, don't you know his dark room?Kuang is usually held hostage by Huaiyi, and it is precisely because he has a deep hatred, it is rare to have such a relationship at this time, and he risked his life to be this enemy with him.When the door of the Moon Cave was pulled open, Huai Yi was scared out of his wits, and thought to himself: "If he can fall into the pit and die, then there will be no proof of death, and Empress Wu will not be able to punish me." Unexpectedly, Ma Rong already knew about this secret door. , first ordered Jinghui to go in, and stood in the bamboo forest with himself and the others.Jing Hui touched the threshold, the bell rang loudly, opened the two stone doors, and shouted outside: "My lord, this is where Huaiyi and lawlessness are located, and now Mrs. Li is still crying inside!"

Di Gong paid attention, and sure enough, there was a cry, faintly sent out from the cellar, and he said to Wu Sansi: "Did your royal relatives hear it? If you don't come because of the forbidden place, won't it make the women sink to the bottom of the ocean?"

"Wu Sansi was so anxious that he couldn't answer. I saw Di Gong angrily said to Huai Yi: "You are a bald thief, how dare you be so lawless!And lead me in.How many dark rooms are there, and how many women are deceived? " Huaiyi wanted to think about it, but Ma Rong grabbed his left hand and dragged him forward. At this time, he couldn't help himself, so he had to lead the way with Ma Rong, and descended from the slope.

Di Gong entered the cellar, but he saw that the bottom was like a house, and it was also arranged one by one on all sides, and all the furnishings were exquisite.Di Gongdao: "The clean ashram has turned into a filthy world. Don't tell me which room Mrs. Li is in now!" Huaiyi has nothing to hide at this time, so he can only point to the second room and say: " This is where she is." At that time, Duke Di ordered Ma Rong and Jinghui to open the door, and he saw a very beautiful woman inside, about twenty years old, she really had the appearance of a fish falling into a wild goose, the face of a closed moon and a shameful flower.Seeing a man go in, he scolded at that time: "You bastard seed, what's the matter here again! I will fight to die for a long time, and I will settle accounts with Huaiyi, a thief, in front of Yan Luo Hall." Ma Rong said: "Miss, you misunderstood I'm dead. I'm under the order of Lord Di to come to investigate this matter. Because Wang Yushu accused Huaiyi in the governor's yamen, saying that Huaiyi falsely preached the imperial decree and deceived his wife, so Lord Di wrote to the Ming Dynasty and came to investigate. At this time, the imperial envoy Here, hurry up and follow me out." After hearing this, Mrs. Li was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Has Di Qingtian come? Today I die innocently." He burst into tears as he spoke.Walking out of the room, I looked up and saw two ministers with crowns and belts. I didn't know who Di Gong was, and then I bowed down and said: "Little lady Wang Li, false imperial decree for Huaiyi, a traitor, and deceived my father-in-law and his family. Entering the temple to burn incense, cheating the slave family here, forcing them hard, although they resisted, they were not adulterated, the little woman was humiliated by this, and she had no face to go back to see her parents, Wenggu. Today, my lord came, it was the day when the slave family was innocent. Don't hesitate to die, and keep a good reputation." After saying that, he bumped against the iron pillar with all his might.Di Gong was taken aback earlier, and he hurriedly ordered Ma Rong to go to rescue him, who knew that another blow, his brains split open, and he died.Wu Sansi was so righteous that he trembled all over in fright. Di Gong also sighed with regret, and said to Wu Sansi, "This is what your emperor saw with his own eyes. Don't take human life as a joke." Lock up Huaiyi, and then check everywhere.All the child molesters and the four thieves escaped from the tunnel long ago.

Di Gong checked for a while, knowing that there was still a house to go, but because of the empress Wu's state, it was inconvenient to pursue him deeply. He was about to come out when he saw a lot of blood under the slope, and he shouted to Huaiyi: "You have no law. Bald thief, rape, adultery, murder and arson, you have done everything for you! Now that you have seen this, how can you deny it! You killed a man, where did you leave the head?" Huaiyi said anxiously: " The monks really don’t know about this matter. Now that I know I’ve violated the law, I beg your lord to give me a sliver of grace, to look down on the monastery bestowed by the decree, and avoid further pursuit. The monk will reform from now on and will never commit the crime again!” Di Gong didn’t allow him to argue, and then He ordered Huaiyi and Jinghui to be brought back to the yamen office first, and he and Wu Sansi turned their heads. All the monks in the temple were driven into the side hall, and the moon cave gates were sealed everywhere.

When he arrived at Yuanmen, he sent a police officer to bring Wang Yushu to him, and said to him: "The person you accused earlier has already been brought by this court, so we can deal with it strictly according to the law. But your daughter-in-law is very good, and she committed suicide. Go back quickly, collect the body by yourself, and come to the trial tomorrow at noon." Hearing this, Wang Yushu couldn't help crying loudly: "Poor my wife, who insisted on forcing her to death for this treacherous monk! If it wasn't for the blue sky to investigate and the truth to come out, wouldn't it be wrong to sink to the bottom of the sea!"
"At that time, I kowtowed and got up to leave. At this time, Wangjiazhuang had already received the letter. Yushu's son was waiting at the gate, and the father and son cried loudly with their heads in their arms. At that time, they went home, prepared the coffin, and came to the yard overnight to ask for a seal. The next day Early in the morning, the big funeral was over, so I carried it back to the village and didn't show it.

It is also said that Di Gong left Wu Sansi in the yamen. At that time, he ordered people to set up wine and dinner with Wu Sansi. Confession, you can't play it tomorrow." Wu Sansi wished he could go out of the street immediately, and was in a hurry to deliver a letter to the palace, but he was trapped by him and couldn't get out, feeling very anxious in his heart.Seeing that he was about to be tried again, he said very hurriedly: "Although your lord is avenging justice for the people, you can know that he is the abbot given by the imperial court. If you are too serious, I'm afraid that the sage will go up, and it's a little bit related. I hope your lord will think twice." Di Gong said : "There is a sage king, and there are upright ministers. The officials are investigating this matter today, and they are trying to drive out the evil for the country. You only read one side of what your relatives said." At that time, he ordered people to wait in the lobby.In an instant, there are two shifts in order.Di Gong was still afraid of being righteous and cunning, so he offered the Long Live Tablet in the lobby at that time, and then ascended to the public seat, and ordered to bring Jinghui to him.With a mighty sound from both sides, Jinghui had already been brought to the hall.Di Gong asked: "You will confess all the things about Huaiyi, so that you can testify in this hall." Jinghui said: "The monk was originally the abbot of this temple. Since he saw the gate of this mountain, all the details in it, although I don't know, but I heard about him raping women every day. I have thought about it for a long time and came to accuse him, because he is so powerful. If I don't allow it, I will lose my life.

Now that my lord has found out the root cause, the rest of the matter has been covered by himself.However, the two corpses in front of the mountain gate have no victims. I beg you to bring Huaiyi and hand over their heads so that they can be collected and buried.In front of such a cruel temple, it is actually in the way of the Buddha. " After listening to Di Gong, he knew that he was hiding the incident of Empress Wu, so he didn't dare to speak out, and he didn't ask questions at the time, but he confronted him righteously.

The policeman agreed and brought the traitor monk to him.Di Gong shouted: "You bald man, dare to stand in the temple and not kneel, if this court has not found this dark room, then you will be even more helpless.

Now that the tablet is enshrined here, you kneel down and make an offering from the truth.Where are those two heads hidden? " Huaiyi said: "The monks really don't know about this matter, so they always ask your lord for mercy and ask Jinghui.It was he who opened the door to relieve himself last night, and only after he yelled did he realize that there was no head at that time.This is what he said himself. "Jinghui said: "You were the ones making noise last night. I just opened the door and went out. At that time, you were waiting for everyone. What about a head? " Hearing this, Di Gong slapped the startled hall and shouted: "You bald prisoner, how dare you deny it so far!"It can be seen that the prince's crime is the same as that of the common people. Besides, you are a monk. Can't this court use punishment for interrogation?Left and right, beat him back to [-] first, and then ask him to give a statement. "

You said that Di Gong ordered Ma Rong to kill Wang Daopo. Apart from the troubles of Xinglong Nunnery, why did you intentionally torture Huai Yi? Isn't Di Gong wronged?Little did he know that Di Gong meant to do his best to eliminate evil, if he didn't kill Dao Po, although the search found out about it, Wang Dao Po would definitely go into and out of the palace, and follow the news to rescue Huai Yi.Moreover, Xinglong Nunnery was the place where Wu Zetian became a monk. If it was strictly enforced like Baima Temple, he would never go down after Wu Zetian.

Now ordering Huaiyi to make a confession is because he is afraid that Empress Wu will pardon him, so he deliberately pushes the matter on him, so that Empress Wu can't change his mouth.For this reason, he was ordered to be tortured.

I don't know whether Huaiyi is willing to recruit or not, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
