Above the lobby, Zhong Jinyi, the commander of the inner court guard, and Zhu Henian, another minister of Jinyiwei town, sat in the hall as two presiding judges, because the case was jointly tried by the inner court guard and the Jinyiwei town minister.

Behind the two presiding judges, there is a plaque with gold characters on a black background, with the words "Zhenyuan Fuwei" written on it. It is worthy of being the Minister of Zhenfu, and even hanging a plaque is threatening.

Down the hall, on both sides stood a row of officials, each with a killing stick in their hands, eyeing them with murderous aura.

Concubine Yan, King Jing and others were sitting on both sides of the hall. Although Concubine Min was a suspect, she had not been deprived of her concubine position, so she could also be seated, but she had to face the two presiding judges.

In addition to this, the emperor also sent a personal **** to watch, that is Zhou Yunsheng, the **** with a pen of the Sili Jian.

As a witness, Qin Yuan could only stand aside and wait for the chief judge to call at any time.

This is like a small supporting role. He is not qualified to show his face until the plot requires it. However, as a young and old performance artist, the script cannot limit his performance, and he will inevitably stand up and grab the scene in a while.

Teachers, performance is my life, I love this stage, and I am very miserable. I am a disabled person...

Tang knelt down a group of people, and the leader of them was a tall and thin assassin who was said to be named Gao Li.

In addition to him, the maids and eunuchs of Chenghua Palace also knelt under the hall. Except for Su Qinqin, who was protected by Qin Yuan, all kinds of scars could be seen on the faces and hands of the others, and they were obviously tortured.

The torture of the Nei Tingwei is very famous, but the torture of the Zhenfu Division is even more lethal. If the prisoner does not have some injuries on his body when passing the court, the Zhenfu Division's golden signboard of "Zhenyuan Fuwei" feels bleak. This ghostly direction is coming. Just like this bird.

However, it is precisely because they know that this is a "ghost place", so criminals are often able to "confess" neatly.

The trial officially began as the Zhen Fu envoy Zhu He Nian slapped the gavel.

"Gao Li, this envoy asks you, why did you assassinate King Jing on the ninth night of the fourth lunar month, how did you escape, and how did you get captured? By recruiting from the truth, you can avoid the pain of flesh and blood!"

In the hall, Gao Li's lips are cracked and his face is expressionless, but his thoughts are very clear.

"I have no grievances or enmity with King Jing. Concubine Min asked me to kill King Jing. It is said that King Jing has been underestimating her many times, so she holds grudges. But I don't know exactly why."

"Who contacted you then?" Zhu Henian asked again.

"This person is here, Su Qinqin, Concubine Min's personal maid. She gave me two thousand taels of silver twice before and after. She also went to the Lantern Festival on the night of the assassination of King Jing, but she just told us the time to start. , she ran away first."

Zhu He Nian snorted coldly, and asked Su Qinqin, "Su Qinqin, is there any such thing?"

Although Su Qinqin seemed to have expected this result, and was not too shocked, but after all, she was a girl, and she couldn't help but turn pale, trembling all over her body, and tears instantly blurred her eyes.

She defended loudly, "Sir, there is absolutely no such thing, he is talking nonsense! When have I seen him and when have I given him money? This is completely framed and framed!"

Zhu Henian asked Gao Li again, "When and where did Su Qinqin give you the money?"

Gao Li replied, "At noon on the first day of April, Su Qinqin gave me the first silver note, a total of 1,000 taels. The place is in Shangyi Division."

"Is there any evidence?"

"There were a lot of people that day, so naturally no one saw her when she gave me the banknote, but someone must have seen her when she entered the Shangyi Division."

Su Qinqin's eyes widened, and after recalling it carefully, she immediately burst into tears, "That day, I went to get spring clothes for everyone, how could I give him money?"

Seeing this, Qin Yuan immediately frowned, thinking that the mastermind behind the scenes was so meticulous that he could even match these details... I'm afraid they had already investigated Su Qinqin's whereabouts in detail before this.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little fortunate. If I hadn't risked my life and ran away from Jin Yiwei, it would have been difficult to overturn the case.

But don't be in a hurry, let them play all the cards to the same extent, and then throw a king bomb and take it away, isn't it good?

In the hall, after listening to Su Xiao's defense, Zhu Henian sneered and said, "Then you admit that you have been to Shangyi Division? Why is it so coincidental, but you went to get Chunyi? Even if you went to get Chunyi Yes, didn't he use this as a trick to hide his eyes and eyes and give him a bank note? An assassin, a dying man, why should he wrong you?"

Su Qin Qin had never seen this battle before, and immediately his mind went blank under Zhu He Nian's continuous questioning.

"Here……"

Yes, she couldn't figure out why the assassin dragged herself into the water when she was dying.

Zhu He Nian slapped the gavel, and immediately shouted, "How dare you speak hard! Come on, torture!"

Emperor Gaozu once stipulated that "persons shall not be punished arbitrarily", but the word "arbitrary" has a lot of room for interpretation, so after five hundred years of evolution, the rule has been changed to "persons who commit crimes must be punished at will".

Just like the ancient times on the Blue Star, the use of torture in the lobby is a normal interrogation process. As long as the details of the confession after the torture match the case, then the torture is considered correct.

What if it's not right? Officials with conscience will doubt whether they are really wronged, and those without conscience will try another sentence.

In fact, Zhu Henian was very polite today, because Zhou Bingbi was listening, so he asked so many details. First, it caused Su Qinqin to be speechless and refused to admit it. At this time, the punishment is reasonable and reasonable. .

When he heard that the punishment was going to be used, Su Qinqin's face turned ashen, and in despair, he subconsciously touched the small pill in his sleeve.

She finally asked for that pill from Manager Wang. If she couldn't stand it, or the torture was too humiliating, she planned to prove her innocence by death.

At this moment, Concubine Min's calm face finally showed a trace of anger.

But just when she was about to speak, she heard Zhong Jinyi say lightly, "Wait a minute, wait for the offender to finish speaking, and then it's not too late to punish him."

Zhu He Nian was a little surprised, and looked at Zhong Jinyi resentfully, feeling very unhappy.

Before the trial, the person on King Yu's side had already given him a 30-acre mansion on the east side of the capital, and they also planned to promote him to be the commander of Jinyiwei... This deposit has been collected, if this case If Concubine Min was not convicted of her crime, how could he have a relationship with Prince Yu?

This woman, suddenly jumped out at this time, what is she going to do?

At the same time, Concubine Yan who was in the audience also showed a dissatisfied expression~www.readwn.com~ and even snorted softly.

Hmph, it seems that Nei Tingwei hasn't figured out the current situation yet, so he still wants to pedal two boats?

This bell commander, who is in trouble and doesn't even know it, is really pitiful and ridiculous!

After Zhong Jinyi interrupted, she asked Gao Li in a light tone, "This envoy asked you, after you got the bank note, where did the bank note go? Why didn't we find it at your residence?"

Gao Li smiled suddenly, with a strange expression.

Then, he looked at Qin Yuan and said, "I have lost most of them, but I still have three hundred taels to give to Xiao Qinzi, Xiao Qinzi of Ganxi Palace!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Yuan.

King Jing, Concubine Min, Su Qinqin, including Zhong Jinyi, all had shocked expressions in their eyes.

Qin Yuan was stunned for a while.

This, you even have to pull yourself into the water? !

Is it because Concubine Yan saw that she didn't kill her last time, so she simply let the assassin testify against her on purpose, and then let herself be executed by Ling Chi?

Or did the assassin want to drag him to death because he held a grudge?

Thinking of this, Qin Yuan couldn't help rolling in anger!

This harem...is darker than I imagined!

Some people want you to die, and there are countless ways to make you die.

In their eyes, killing a little **** like him is like an ant.

Originally, he thought that as long as he could save Concubine Min and Su Qinqin, it would be fine. As for who was behind the scenes, he didn't necessarily have to trace it to the end.

But now, he felt that it was time to find out who was behind the scenes!

After all, people are killing him!
