General, cut off your sleeves!
Chapter 33: To Trial or Not to Trial
In the morning of the next day, Mo Wanqing stood upright, looking at the opposite side quietly, no one knew how long he stood there, maybe he hadn't moved since last night.
Big Beard is by no means the shortest-lived friend he has ever met, but it is definitely the saddest one. Thinking of the flowers blooming on the wall that night, thinking of his hearty laughter...
When a person dies, he is dead, and nothing will be left, just like the empty opposite, as if he never existed.
Mo Wanqing admitted that he was hypocritically sentimental, and if possible, he wanted to clear up the bearded man.
"Wow!" the jailer skillfully opened the cell door, Mo Wanqing was supposed to go to court today, and everyone said it was only three things, maybe this was his last time to go to court.If he came back again, he would stay here forever like the bearded man, and if he didn't come back, he would be free from now on.
Xu Shi killed two people in a row yesterday, the jailer was reprimanded, his head was bowed the whole time, and he didn't talk to Mo Wanqing like the previous two times, even though he usually talked to Mo Wanqing, he might not talk to him.
He simply didn't say a word today, but he didn't want to go to a corner of the lobby, and the person in front suddenly asked: "Dare to ask... him, what is the name of the person opposite me?"
The jailer was confused by this question, and it was okay to tell him, "Pan Hu or Pan Huzi?"
Mo Wanqing paused, and quickly continued walking as usual, making the one behind him even more confused.
It was still the familiar lobby, with two rows of officers and soldiers standing on both sides, and Judge Li had already been sitting directly above him. The words "Mirror Hanging High" shone directly above him. For some reason, he found it very dazzling.
After going through the court twice, the previous steps seem very boring, and they are all the same steps. Only when we get to the point can we cheer up.
Judge Li felt very headache. This should not be a very complicated case, because many forces mixed it and made it several times more complicated. The sudden death of Furong made him realize that this matter is not a little bit difficult, but very difficult. If it is not handled well, let alone the case itself, even he himself may be involved.
Now there is no need for a trial to know that this Mo Wanqing is probably innocent, but the difficulty lies in the identity of the real murderer. He has been clever in avoiding these dangerous people all these years as an official, but he really has to meet these difficult people Only then did he remember why his father left so lonely.
"Handle the case according to your own conscience, and take care of those big men who are troublesome."
This is the motto of his father, but the final outcome of his old man was that he was forced to death by these high officials. Every time he thought of him, he felt sad and helpless, terrified and angry.
When the same choice was presented to him, he hesitated...
Mo Wanqing knelt on the ground and didn't hear the familiar sound of the gavel for a long time. She raised her head in doubt and saw the judge with a cold face in a daze...
Is there such a case?Fortunately, he thought he was quite reliable before. Could it be that he had settled the case for the bearded man, or Pan Hu?
Judge Li woke up suddenly, the young man's pale and haggard face was looking at him pleadingly (are you sure?), touching the most secret corner of his heart. up!
As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs, why did he fail to inherit his father's strength of character after Li Qingtian, who would forget his father's dundu teachings as soon as he was threatened by those people!
There were only a lot more people watching outside the Yamen than in the previous two days. Now they are not only concerned about Mo Wanqing's ending, but also how this unsolved case will be resolved.Seeing that Judge Li, who was usually stern and selfless, was timid before going to trial, he immediately yelled in dissatisfaction, and some people directly asked loudly, "Is this case still going to trial?"
"Trial! Why not!"
Mo Wanqing, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stood up and looked back, and sure enough, he saw his slowly pacing figure, his tough face was the same as that of yesterday, but it seemed to be a long time apart.
Zou Jinchu's eyes glanced at Mo Wanqing, and distress flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't be Meng Lang, he came today to rescue him, and in the long run, he shouldn't show unusual feelings for him.
Judge Li was not surprised that the two brothers took turns playing these two days. The Zou family was different from other families of generals. They produced a mighty general who died as a savior. The face of the first copy.
If they want to come to see or even participate in the interrogation, as long as they don't cause trouble, he can pretend that he didn't see them, and they will pass by with a blind eye, but he doesn't want Zou Jinchu to come back this time, and he is not the only one here.
I saw a young gentleman standing half a step ahead of him, wearing a brocade embroidered robe and a feather fan scarf. He was wearing the posture of a nobleman, and he was full of extraordinary nobility, even more expensive than a rich man.
Ordinarily, when Judge Li saw this person, he should have asked about his identity, but he froze suddenly. He wanted to stand up and salute, but when he saw the young man stroking his fan and shaking his head invisibly, he froze in place. , neither standing nor sitting.
Fortunately, the young master didn't want to embarrass him, so he introduced himself: "I am a scholar, I saw an unsolved case here, I am very interested, so I came to have a look, and I hope that the judge will not blame you."
After he finished speaking, he nodded his head slightly to pay tribute. Although his words were polite, his behavior of not kneeling and disrespectful when seeing an official seemed to be very arrogant, and he showed great disrespect for Judge Li.
If this was an ordinary person, he would have been kicked out and beaten, but how could he be an ordinary person, he is the current emperor, if Judge Li dared to make him salute, it would be really disrespectful.
Judge Li's full name is Li Chenye, and Chen is his mother's surname. Because his father loves and respects this mother so much, he took the two surnames plus the word "Ye" as his name. In fact, the last word is his real name. .
Of course, these are all digressions. Unlike the Zou family, although the Li family has produced several excellent judges, even his father's expert judges, but because the Li family is too upright and not good at words, they are not good in front of the Holy One. The credit is not happy.
So in truth, the Li family could not be regarded as a popular person in front of the Holy Majesty. The only impression he had was that the Holy Majesty came over to offer his condolences in person after his father left.
I thought that I would never have the chance to see the emperor again in this life, but I didn't expect to see him suddenly in such an embarrassing situation. I was really shocked. In fact, he didn't even know why the emperor came.
Couldn't it be that the case really got to his ears and aroused his interest?
That's impossible, this is not the emperor in the storybook, how can the emperor be so free, so free to show up at will to intervene in these "little things"?
But what the emperor said next really shocked him so much that his jaw dropped.
"Hey, my lord, why didn't you interrogate? I just wanted to see what the outcome of such interesting things would be."
What he said leisurely was really scary, and if he spoke, Judge Li would of course have to start the session.Not only that, he not only wants to drive, but also drives well, if this person is even slightly unhappy, his life will be lost.
Mo Wanqing was the calmest. From the moment Zou Jinchu appeared, he knew that nothing would happen to him.To him, Zou Jinchu really seems to be omnipotent. Although he doesn't look kind, Mo Wanqing knows that he is the worst person.
General Zou, who was regarded as a bad guy, did not hesitate to beg before the emperor for him. This was his first priority since he was born.
In fact, his ability to invite the Emperor Earthquake does not mean how much friendship he has with the emperor. When he was young, he might have had some friendship because of the reason of accompanying him in school, but as the prince became the emperor, this relationship has long since disappeared.
Today's thoughts are deep.
So he was able to invite the emperor today because of another thing, that is the emperor's promise. Back then, his father died violently to save him, but now he pities him and promises him three things. Anything that does not hinder the country Everything is fine.
In order to bring his father's body back to his hometown for burial, one condition was used, and there are only two left, and now one is used because of Mo Wanqing... Of course, these promises and conditions are secretly agreed by the emperor and Zou Jinchu Well, outsiders naturally wouldn't know half of it, they would only feel that the emperor treated the Zou family with the utmost honor and favor.
One of the three conditions that can be used to save life was taken away by Mo Wanqing, Zou Jinchu didn't feel distressed, the person he wanted to save had to be saved, and human life was often much more precious than others.
He is well aware that Song Taishi's only son is involved, and Mo Wanqing will most likely be unable to escape the fate of being blamed. The current judge is not as courageous as his father, so he will definitely hesitate, and even if he is willing to stand by Mo Wanqing, he may not be able to win such a big one. The Song family.
So he invited people at the pinnacle of power. He knew that although the emperor was ruthless, he would not allow his territory to be ruined by others.It is enough to have this level of speculation, as for what the emperor will do, it is not for him to comment.
He was right in guessing that the emperor was indeed quite dissatisfied with Song Taishi's behavior of controlling part of the court and not paying much attention to him as the emperor, but Song Taishi had been entrenched in the capital for a long time, and it was impossible to overthrow it all at once.I can only figure it out slowly, slowly evacuate his bottom, and when the time comes, just push it lightly, and everything will be gone.
The abacus was very good, and he was very interested in the matter that Zou Jinchu sent to his door, not only because it could give Grand Master Song a severe blow, but also because Zou Jinchu would come to beg him for outsiders, wouldn't he be curious?
When I came here and saw Mo Wanqing who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word, I saw nothing but his flamboyant posture, and thought that Zou Jinchulan committed another crime with good intentions.
This side was full of thoughts, while Judge Li was busy summoning those important people, of course including Song Taishi's precious son Song Qian.
But the strange thing is that Song Qian was invited by them, but the key person Boss Zhang was nowhere to be seen. The person sent to find him said that Boss Zhang went out last night and has not returned so far. He was still nowhere to be seen.
Judge Li wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and glanced at that man quietly, only to see him sitting there leisurely and playing with the folding fan in his hand, and from time to time he looked at the one kneeling on the ground with his eyes, was that a curious look?
No, no, he must be dazzled from time to time, how could the emperor be interested in a commoner?
Big Beard is by no means the shortest-lived friend he has ever met, but it is definitely the saddest one. Thinking of the flowers blooming on the wall that night, thinking of his hearty laughter...
When a person dies, he is dead, and nothing will be left, just like the empty opposite, as if he never existed.
Mo Wanqing admitted that he was hypocritically sentimental, and if possible, he wanted to clear up the bearded man.
