Lei Yue Longmen

Chapter 145 Chaos in Chaotang

"Okay, since that's the case, let's pass Wang Shiba to the hall for questioning! Do you have anything else to play?"

Li Jingchen sent the memorials one by one.King Cheng was absent-minded all the time. Li Pinghong asked him, "Does King Cheng have nothing to play?"

Li Jingnan didn't respond.King Dun turned around and called him: "Third brother! What's wrong with you today? Are you still alive? You're the housekeeper? Father asked you something?"

Li Jingnan shuddered, and hurriedly raised his head, "Father asked my son what is the matter?"

Li Pinghong didn't bother to ask, and threw the memorial on the case.At this time, the guards in the palace reported that Wang Shiba had been detained outside the hall for orders.

"Xuan!"

"The emperor has a decree that King Xuan will go to the palace on the [-]th!"

Cen Zhu felt the muscles in his neck tense, and turned his head to look outside the hall, only to see Wang Shiba, who was wearing a relatively clean prison uniform, with chains wrapped around his hands and feet, stepping into the hall clangingly.

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Shiba was very obedient, fell to his knees on the ground, leaned on the ground with his elbows, knocked his head, and said, "Sinners pay homage to the emperor, sinners pay homage to the emperor!"

His saluting posture is very weird, his face is almost touching the gold brick, but his buttocks are raised high, he looks like a bastard.But everyone didn't laugh because of this, the whole hall was extremely serious!

Li Pinghong waved his hand, "Okay, okay! Wang Shiba, I have something to ask? You have to answer honestly. If you tell a lie, I will kill you immediately, don't you? Wait until after the autumn! Do you understand?"

"Sinners know, sinners know!"

"You raise your head! Let me ask you, when Wolf Mountain was besieged, a court official was escorted up the mountain, have you seen it?"

Wang Shiba swallowed, "See... I've seen it!"

"How did he get up the mountain?"

"It was tied up the mountain by Bat Sun!"

"Then you can identify here, which one is the high official who was tied up on the mountain?"

At first, Wang Shiba only dared to look at the feet of these court officials, then slowly raised his gaze, and glanced across the faces of the courtiers blankly one by one!Can't stop swallowing.

When the cold and hard lines connected to a soft side, their eyes stopped, fixed on Cen Zhu's body, and tremblingly raised their fingers to point, "That's right, my lord!"

"Okay, now that it's confirmed, I'll ask you! After this lord went up the mountain, how did Gu Rentu treat her differently? Have you ever called her 'brother-in-law'?"

Wang Shiba looked around, with panic in his eyes.

"No? You don't need to look at others, you just need to answer truthfully! Is there any?!"

"I, I... yes! Yes!" Wang Shiba suddenly said firmly.

The whole hall was in an uproar!The veteran cabinet ministers who had been as stable as Mount Tai all changed their faces.Cui Moxian and Jiang Yiting couldn't help but sweat.

Cen Zhu's expression remained unchanged, but every joint in his body was tense, and he could hear his heart beating wildly in his chest cavity!

People from the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all had faint smiles on their faces.Zhao Chen snorted lightly, and glanced at Cen Zhu to see if she would do it again? How to quibble!

Cui Moxian: "Wang Shiba, you have to think about it clearly. You are not the only one who saw the scene of Master Cen going up the mountain! If you confront other people and find out that you are lying, do you know that you will be charged with framing the court? wait?"

Wang Shiba was so frightened that he trembled!

Pu Xingmi, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, said: "Master Cui, why are you so anxious? Get angry! This Wang Shiba is a death row prisoner, and he will inevitably die sooner or later! There is no need for him to lie! What's the use of asking!"

This is already blatantly ridiculing.Cui Moxian sneered and said, "How do you know that he doesn't need to lie? As far as I know, there are eight or sixty-four methods of torture in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, each of which can make people feel worse than death! If you follow someone's wishes, Maybe? You can be a comfortable ghost before you die!"

"What do you mean? Are you slandering this official for torture?"

"I? I didn't mention you, so why are you in such a hurry to get angry!" Cui Moxian shot back. "Your Majesty, I just think this matter is very strange. The Langshan treason case has long been settled. Wang Shiba was also sentenced to death. It is said that he will only be executed after the autumn. How could it be revealed suddenly? Why? When Cen Zhuo presided over Xiufu Shouyuan? Isn't this a coincidence?"

Pu Xingmi: "Your Majesty, it was because Wang Shiba wanted to perform meritorious deeds before he died, so he changed Ling Chi to beheading, so he took the initiative to confess the fact that Cen Zhu was the husband of his brother-in-law?!"

Cui Moxian: "What facts?? Just relying on a few rebellious words, you want to judge the facts? Do you want to convict people?"

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Cen Zhu stood up with a very firm look on his face, "Since Wang Shiba keeps saying that I am Gu Rentu's sister-in-law, can I ask him a few words?"

"Just ask!"

"Yes!" Cen Zhu turned his head and glanced coldly at Wang Shiba, twitching the corners of his mouth, "Wang Shiba, since you keep saying that Gu Rentu is my brother-in-law, then I ask you, Qingshan County What about 'brother-in-law'? There are two kinds of titles, one is sister-in-law and the other is younger brother. At that time, how did Gu Rentu address me?"

"Don't you? Will? No? You know?" Cen Zhu sneered.

"I?, I? Know, it's... my sister-in-law!"

"Ha!" Cen Zhu said with a smile: "There is no such thing as sister-in-law in the local dialect of Qingshan County!"

Wang Shiba murmured, "I?, I? I made a mistake, it's... younger brother!"

This time not only Cen Zhu sneered, but Cui Moxian and the others all laughed, "There is no younger brother in Qingshan County?"

Wang Shiba tremblingly said: "I...I didn't hear it, but... someone else heard it! Then tell me?!"

"Hmph, full of lies! No? You heard it yourself. Who told you that?"

"Yes... it's Bat Sun, he? He heard Zhang Ha/Toad tell him? She is Gu Rentu's brother-in-law!"

Fu Minzheng: "Your Majesty, Sun Changfu and Zhang Ha/Toad, one is dead and the other is running away. There is no proof of death!"

Cui Moxian: "Okay! There is no proof of death? You dare to use it to defile people's innocence out of thin air! It's ridiculous!"

Official Zheng Lang, who had been afraid to speak up, now also stood up from the end of the meeting, and said politely: "Your Majesty, without evidence, you can't find Mr. Cen guilty. Who knew it would? No? Yes? It's the king. Eighteen is determined to reduce the sentence, so he bites people indiscriminately."

Cui Moxian sneered: "He? He's not that bold yet, maybe? Someone ordered him behind!"

Park Xingmi's forehead was covered with sweat.Zhao Chen couldn't see it, so he stepped forward and reprimanded Wang Shiba: "Wang Shiba, you insisted that you heard Gu Rentu call your brother-in-law with your own ears, and Mr. Pu has already recorded your confession. Do you want to overthrow your own now? Confession? This is the crime of deceiving the emperor! The crime is aggravated!"

Wang Shiba prostrated himself on the ground, wailing softly, showing his ugliness.Everyone thought that he had been exposed by others, and they were ashamed.

Cui Mo Xianming sneered: "Zhao Yushi, you better not force him! If you ask him, the confession is false? Was it tortured? What can we do?"

"You are talking nonsense!" Zhao Chen was furious, his eyes were like lightning, and he shot at Pu Xingmi, trying to save the defeat.But the sweat on the latter's forehead was more dense.

Sensing that things had changed, Shen Xi deliberately backtracked the topic: "Lord Cui, stop making sarcastic remarks! Although there is no evidence to directly show that Cen Zhu is related to Gu Rentu, Master Zhao's speculation is reasonable! Unless Lord Cen can produce evidence to prove that she has nothing to do with Gu Rentu. Otherwise, she is still under serious suspicion! Since she is suspected, I? ? Take!"

Cui Moxian: "What's the reason? The whole thing was provoked by the procuratorate, and you couldn't produce any evidence to prove that others were guilty, but let others prove your innocence!"

"What do you guys think?"

Among the seven elders, Dali Temple Qing Yue Haiyu has expressed his wish to investigate this matter.The five veterans have their own attitudes.Ji Wenkui didn't make a sound.The emperor can only announce a thorough investigation!Once Cen Zhu is investigated, the post of supervisor of Fushouyuan will become a hot potato, and the censors will definitely catch whoever participates!Fushouyuan had to? Delayed!

However, before the edict was issued, there was a loud shout from outside the door: "Who said there is no evidence? I? I have evidence!"

Everyone looked out, Princess Kant and Lord Wu Xiaohou quickly walked into the palace together.When Li Jingchen saw the two of them, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

As early as an hour ago, she found out that Yu Shi planned to impeach Cen Zhu to stop the emperor's plan to build the Fushou Garden.It is possible to take advantage of Gu Qing's identity.Her life experience has always been a hidden danger, and they all know this well, and they can only protect it together.After making a decision, he urgently ordered Yuezhong and Lanxi to find Wu Tianji, Wu Jingchai and his son separately, and ordered the insider to go to the palace to inform the eldest princess and Li Jingxi.These few people are the key witnesses for Langshan's suppression of the rebellion. In particular, Wu Jingchai still has a friendship with Gu Qing. With his personality, he must desperately want to help.

When Li Pinghong saw these two juniors, he frowned, and regarded them as troublemakers, "Why are you here? Do you want to mess around, go back!"

"We? We are here to deliver evidence!" Li Jingxi raised his eyebrows and said confidently.

Wu Jingchai, on the other hand, behaved extraordinarily well-behaved, pulling? Li Jingxi met in the hall, "See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Get up!"

Li Jingxi bypassed Wang Shiba who was lying on the ground, and walked up to Li Jingchen, "Sister!"

Li Jingxi nodded, and Li Jingxi ran up the steps briskly, holding the pink-blue skirt.Grabbing Li Pinghong's sleeve, "Father, we are really here to deliver evidence! Don't you just listen to me!"

Li Pinghong glared at her, "Nonsense!"

Li Jingxi pursed her lips, showing all her grievances on her face.

"Okay, okay! If you have any evidence, quickly show it! If you dare to talk nonsense, you will be punished when you go back!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Under the steps? King Dun curled his lips and sneered in his nose.King Cheng stared at the man on the ground, looked at the steps several times, and stopped talking!

Wu Jingchai said: "Your Majesty, let me tell you that when I suppressed the rebellion in Langshan, I witnessed Gu Rentu taking Mrs. Cen as a hostage and threatening the whole army with a knife and neck. Although I rescued him in the end, Mrs. Cen was still tortured." Let me ask you, if Gu Rentu and Mrs. Cen are brothers and sisters, how could he? Be so determined to test the knife with his own sister!"

Pu Xingmi: "Maybe? This is abandoning the car to save the handsome man. Gu Rentu took his own sister to test the knife. Who can doubt him? They are brother and sister? This will save my sister instead!"

Wu Jingchai: "You have the heart of a villain! I? I'm the person involved. Is Gu Rentu real? Are you going to kill Mrs. Cen, or make a fool of yourself? Shall I try? Come out? My Majesty, the situation was indeed extremely critical at that time. Mrs. Cen almost lost her life under Gu Ren's butcher knife, this point, I dare to guarantee my life!"

Yushi: "It's strange, Lord Wu Xiaohou has just stepped into the hall, how could it be so clear about today's court debate? And defend Gu's everywhere? It seems to have clairvoyance?"

Wu Jingchai was about to respond.

Li Jingxi: "I told him? Didn't it work? I came to the main hall to look for the emperor, but I overheard the discussions of the ministers, and felt it necessary to come in to explain. It happened that Jing Chai came into the palace Greetings, I? Just pull him? Let's be brave together."

Her unreasonable explanation made sense after thinking about it.Li Pinghong only thought that Li Jingxu could not forget his feelings for Cen Zhu, so he asked someone to help her out.I couldn't help thinking of another plan.

"Father, please spare your daughter from eavesdropping this time."

"Okay, let's go? As an example!"

When the censors saw that the royal princess and the young master came out to stand for Cen Zhu, their hearts became more and more resentful.

Cen Zhu? I really believe that it was just a coincidence that these two came so timely.He looked up and quickly glanced at the figure in the apricot yellow robe at the top of the row.I guessed that she might have made the arrangement in advance.The chest cavity was immediately surrounded by a continuous warm current, soft and hot.

After a while, the eldest princess and his wife came in, followed by Lou Ren and others!

Lou Ren will confess what he saw and heard on the top of Wolf Mountain, focusing on Cen Zhu being escorted to the gate by Gu Rentu and preparing to behead him.

"At that time, the ministers and others witnessed Mr. Cen being tied up to the gate and being tortured. Gu Rentu executed the captives ruthlessly. Mr. Cen was also executed at that time because the eldest princess used the cannon to make a sound. Please forgive Gu Rentu. Cen Daren was spared by killing people's attention."

"Later, Gu Rentu changed his strategy and took Master Cen and Concubine Tu as hostages to threaten the entire army. Master Cen contracted pneumonia midway, was mistaken for tuberculosis, and was thrown away by the rebels. Only then did she save her life! If she With such a relationship with Gu Rentu, how could he be treated so cruelly? The whole army can prove what I said!"

Yushi: "It's really strange, how could Mrs. Cen appear in the barracks for no reason?"

"This is my license." Li Pinghong said solemnly.

"Cen Zhu felt slightly ill before going to Langshan Mountain. I sympathized with her illness from overwork, and ordered Mrs. Cen to dress up as a military doctor and go with the army to take care of her."

Even Li Pinghong came to help.The censor knew that the enemy was not enough? The emperor and the eldest princess joined forces, so they all gritted their teeth and retreated.

"Wang Shiba!" The eldest princess calmly shouted: "You should have witnessed the abandonment of Lord Cen with your own eyes. Why was she abandoned? How did Gu Rentu treat her? Don't you know the most?"

The people on the ground suddenly curled up and spit out several mouthfuls of blood on the spot.It twitched violently on the ground twice, and then it was drowned out.Before he died, he pointed in the direction of Park Xingmi, "You!"

Pu Xingmi panicked immediately, and the eldest princess frowned, and shouted: "Don't move! It may be poisoned!" She gave Wu Tianji a wink, and Wu Tianji took the opportunity to carefully test his breath and pulse with his hand, " They're dead, no, but they were poisoned!" Opened their mouths and confirmed, "It's suicide by biting their tongue!"

Everyone is suspicious!

"No!" Cen Zhu said coldly, "He's dying of pain!"

When the eldest princess heard the words, she suddenly thought of something, and looked down at the man on the ground, "Their prison clothes are so new, don't they look like criminals who have been in prison for a long time. Quick, take off their clothes!"

When Wu Tianji heard this, he immediately lifted up Wang Shiba's shirt.Into the eyes, is a large piece of rotten? Muscles, criss-crossing, ferocious and terrifying.Some were ironed, some were whipped, some were strangled with ropes, and some were crushed by something.Wu Tianji took off his trousers again, and found that his legs had been completely twisted, and the white bones were exposed at the knees.

Only then did everyone understand, he? Why did he even kneel so ugly!This is really unheard of and outrageous!

Li Jing turned his head up and saw the tragic scene below, closed his eyes tightly in fright, and got into Li Pinghong's arms.The emperor patted her to comfort her, and at the same time hurriedly asked for the naked body to be carried out.

At this time, Fu Minzheng said: "Your Majesty, I was on night shift in the Ministry of Criminal Justice three days ago. I saw with my own eyes that Mr. Pu, the left servant, interrogated a prisoner late at night and tortured him severely! Until dawn!"

Everyone looked sideways at Park Xingmi, remembering that the prisoner pointed his hand at him before he died?

"Your Majesty!" Cen Zhu took the opportunity to kneel down and counterattacked aggressively: "I won't? I don't care about Wang Shiba's slander of my minister and his wife? You are innocent. In the face of such inhuman torture, even if you change anyone, you can't stand it." Stop! I just want to ask Mr. Park, what is the deep hatred? To put a death row prisoner in such a state? Mr. Park is also a person who reads the books of sages. Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, private torture to extract confessions is already a known law and a violation of the law. Now, in order to prove the truth and slander, you let someone die in front of you. You use such dirty things to tarnish the eyes and ears of the Holy One and the Eldest Princess. I want to ask you, what is it? What's the intention?!" When she questioned her, she had already approached Pu Xingmi's face step by step, and that spitting face seemed to be swallowing him alive. Cui Moxian and Zheng Langguan were afraid that she would make trouble, so they hurriedly Come over to dissuade.

"Calm down! Cen Zhuo! Calm down!"

With a flick of her sleeves, Cen Zhu separated the two of them. In fact, she was very calm and just wanted to shift the focus so that she could get away with it.

Just as he was about to hold up his fingers to continue the theory, suddenly a foot ran towards Park Xingmi's chest before his own spit.In an instant, this thin, third-rank official was kicked flying.Cen Zhuo opened his mouth into an "O" shape, and his eyeballs were about to fall out. Looking back at this kicker? My dear brother, he looked like "the one who beat you up? It was you"? Young Master Wu Jingchai!Immediately admired five-body cast!Secretly gave him a thumbs up.

"Jing Chai!"

The eldest princess raised her brows upside down, she was obviously startled, this is in the hall, he dared to fight!On the contrary he?

Cen Zhu and Cui Moxian hurriedly stepped aside and cleared themselves, "It's none of my business, we didn't do anything."He pulled the bewildered Zheng Langguan over again, and winked vigorously.

So in the arena, only Pu Xingmi fell to the ground and groaned in pain, "Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wronged! I absolutely did not use lynching! Absolutely not!"

Li Pinghong stood up against the case, "What is the order, what is the order! Is this court hall used by you for fighting? Come here, put Pu Xingmi in prison and wait for disposal! The rest of you wait, separate the court!"

Seeing the momentum, Zhao Chen stood up again, "Your Majesty! Even if Pu Xingmi is guilty, it still can't prove Cen Zhu's innocence. The presiding officer of the Yangjiao Temple, the confessions of the Gu family and his wife are all evidence, Your Majesty! Please Don't you want to turn a blind eye to it? Immediately issue an order to thoroughly investigate Cen Zhu!"

Li Pinghong ignored him, didn't he? He left the hall impatiently, leaving him with the back of his head.Cen Zhu wiped off his sweat and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The author has something to say:

The last paragraph was changed to Wu Jingchai going first!Cui Moxian didn't move!
