"It's just to find out the truth. The Marquis of Qin actually went above the level of insult. This is really a clever tongue!" A hint of evil and fierceness flashed in the eyes of the fourth prince, and he said coldly: "This is the court, Mr. Ji.
If you handle things impartially, how can you say that you are insulting? Sir Ji, I am here, you just have to follow the normal procedures. If anything happens, I will report it to my father!"
Ji Yu was helpless. The two princes in the dynasty had been fighting for many years. Anyone who was not blind knew that neutral factions like them were acting in a crack, which was really difficult.
Ruan's mother and son sued the officials from the people, and Ruan received thirty imperial sticks. Isn't this the price she paid for suing the officials from the people?
He knew that if he insisted on testing whether the Marquis of Qin had a birthmark, he would definitely make the eldest prince think that he was on the side of the fourth prince, but he had to do it!
He threw down the signature: "Check!"
When Marquis Dingyuan saw this situation, his face turned dark, and he felt a little panicked.
Whether there is a birthmark or not, others don’t know, but he does.
If I really want to take the test, will it be better?
He pushed away the two government officials who came with a sudden palm, and shouted: "How dare you!"
Chu Yuncheng stood beside the Jiyu table, looked down from a high position, and said coldly: "I think it is you who are so presumptuous. Marquis of Qin, you don't think that you can ignore the laws of Dongxia just because you are a noble and powerful minister.
Right? Mr. Ji handles the matter impartially, but you continue to shirk the blame based on your status. Are you looking down on me and the laws of Dongxia? Are you not even letting go of your father who judges the laws?
In your eyes?"
This hat is really big.
But Ji Yu rolled his eyes wildly in his heart, I beg you to shut up!
Don’t I know how to say these words? I, Jing Zhaoyin, who is trying the case, have a position and a home ground to say these things, but what does it mean when you say this? Does it mean that this case is tried by you or me?
You are a prince and you are great, but a prince can’t take over the honors!
In this way, the eldest prince's party still does not consider themselves to be affiliated with the four princes' party, and will join them to death?
But he is just an impartial neutral!
Ji Yu swallowed a mouthful of blood in his heart and glanced at Wang Captou. Wang Captou understood. He led two skilled detectives forward, held Dingyuan Hou down, and half held him and half dragged him to the side room.
Go.
After all, he is a Marquis, and it is not easy to take off his clothes and check his body in public in the lobby, not to mention that there are women here.
Marquis Dingyuan was furious. He did not expect that under his firm refusal, the fourth prince and Ji Yu would use force! At this time, he was choked by Wang Baotou and the two men and could not get away at all. He cursed angrily: "Ji Yu
Yu Yu, you insulted the imperial official like this, what’s your intention?”
He scolded again: "Ji Yu, you are so biased in listening to others and stepping on the nobles' faces. Are you treating the nobles in the capital as if they are nothing?"
"Ji Yu, do you think that the fourth prince is your master and want to suppress me, the eldest prince's uncle?"
Jiyu: "..."
Is this going to bring him a lot of hatred?
The person he wanted to target was obviously only the Marquis of Dingyuan, ah, what kind of target? He enforced the law impartially, so why did he go against all the nobles in the capital when it came to the mouth of the Marquis of Dingyuan? Not only that, according to his words,
This also relies on the power of the fourth prince to oppose the eldest prince and his party!
He doesn’t have the ability!
He wished he could have someone stop Dingyuan Hou’s mouth and test him again.
But he didn't speak. He sat in front of the case with a straight face and glanced at Chu Yuncheng.
Chu Yuncheng was still standing by his desk, condescending and with an astonishing aura. After all, the prince's status was so noble and he had the nobility formed by years of pampering. Almost everyone in the entire hall looked up to him.
Sniff, I, the presiding judge Jing Zhaoyin, am like a foil.
He said cryptically: "Your Highness Prince Ding, please rest assured that I will act impartially!"
Chu Yuncheng responded: "Well, I can rest assured that Mr. Ji is doing things!"
Ji Yu laughed with him: "In that case, why don't you go to the back hall to drink tea?" This fourth prince was so unruly. He came here early in the morning, showed his injuries, and said that someone had hurt the emperor's heir. Ji Yu dared not do such a big thing.
Handle it immediately?
He invited a doctor to see the fourth prince's injury. The doctor came and he saw the injury with his own eyes. There was a deep cut on his arm, which was really scary. This was why Ji Yu hurriedly called Wang Baotou to be sure to call the Marquis of Dingyuan.
Reason for interrogation.
Originally, he arranged for the fourth prince to drink tea in the back hall.
Who would have thought that the fourth prince actually entered the front office and walked out from behind the screen. Not to mention Marquis Dingyuan, if he hadn’t clearly known that he had not arranged anything behind the screen, he would have thought that the fourth prince had been behind the screen.
Hearing.
He is wronged!
But what can he do?
He regretted it a little.
In fact, there was no need for him to be so shaken when he saw the fourth prince being injured that he immediately tried it. Even though such a vicious incident happened, he, Jing Zhaoyin, had to bear the responsibility and was not free from the involvement. If he tried it earlier, he could get rid of the merit.
However, the smell of roasting on this shelf is too unpleasant!
Why didn't he submit the case to the emperor for a final decision because the case was serious?
Although the emperor may think that he is incompetent or reprimanded for his incompetence in doing things, but if the emperor orders a retrial, or a three-court trial or something, is it not better than the current hot-tempered situation?
Alas, after all, he has not practiced enough and is not as comfortable in the officialdom as those old foxes!
Chu Yuncheng said calmly: "I am injured, so it is not suitable to drink tea! It is more interesting to watch Lord Ji interrogate the case here! What's more, I am also a victim. If the murderer behind the scenes is not caught, how can I have the intention to drink tea?"
Ji Yu euphemistically said: "Your Majesty is unparalleled in his grace. Although he was injured, his grace has not diminished. However, the front of the hall is depressing and there are many people, which is not conducive to His Majesty's injury. It is better for His Majesty to move!"
"No problem!"
Jiyu: "..."
Even though he has made his words so clear, the fourth prince still refuses to move. This is because he has made up his mind to watch the trial here.
He is just a small fourth-rank Jingzhaoyin, and he cannot force a prince to get out of his case-solving office. He can only say: "Come, give His Highness a seat!"
Lao Chu is aside, what’s going on?
Chu Yuncheng obviously didn't care what Ji Yu thought, and sat down peacefully on the chair that was brought in and placed on the right hand side below the case.
Ji Yu didn't feel upset for long. At this time, the first few of Wang's men had already come out.
The Dingyuan Hou faction looked furious.
The master in charge of the inspection came over with the document in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I have verified my true identity. There is indeed a horseshoe-shaped birthmark three inches below the left waist of the Marquis!" He was the one who made the inspection, so he not only recorded it in the file
, and also drew the graphics.
Ji Yu glanced at it, then raised his head, looking at Marquis Dingyuan who was standing in front of the hall, shaking with anger or for other reasons, and said: "Now that it has been confirmed that Marquis Qin does have a birthmark on his body, one day
As Ruan said, the story between Qin Hou and Ruan is true, and this son can be confirmed to be the son of Qin Hou. But..."
Chu Yuncheng couldn't help but frown after hearing only two words.
Confirming that there is indeed a birthmark on Marquis Dingyuan's body proves that the Ruan family did not lie, and that the Ruan family did not lie, which proves that the Marquis of Dingyuan did forcefully recruit women of the people and disregard human lives.
Because Ruan Xinlian was the key to identifying Yuan Hou, there was no trial in court yesterday, but overnight, the place where Ruan Xinlian lived was assassinated by thieves. If it weren't for the servants of the Fourth Prince's Courtyard who were able to protect them and use their lives to stack up, this mother and son would have been killed.
The two of them were already dead.
So Dingyuan Hou also had a motive for killing people. This is obviously something that can be directly convicted, but Ji Yu can't even compete with him?
Ji Yu quickly picked up the conversation and said: "Because it involves the assassination of the prince, it is of great importance. I alone have no authority to try it. I will hand over a certain document to the criminal..."<
/p>
"No!" Chu Yuncheng interrupted him directly: "This matter cannot be handed over to the Ministry of Justice!"
Ji Yu is in a dilemma: "According to the rules, this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment!"
Chu Yuncheng said: "That was before. Could it be that Mr. Ji has forgotten where the Marquis of Qin is serving now?"
Ji Yu was startled, and then said: "What the prince said is that the official did not think carefully. In this way, the file will be sealed until the official will submit all the details to the emperor, and the emperor will make a decision!"
After all, it involves the imperial mission for disaster relief nine years ago, and an injured prince. No matter what happens, it is a major matter. It is presented to the emperor and let the emperor decide who will take charge. This is not a fuss!
Marquis Dingyuan felt angry and helpless, and was forced to take a body test. This feeling was as disgusting as being forced to swallow a fly. Along with the nausea, there was also uneasiness and fear.
What happened nine years ago, something that should have been foolproof, turned out to have its tail.
That bastard Qin Zhizheng, doesn’t he know that if he fails, he will have nothing to do with him? He can’t do such a small thing, and he still wants to be transferred to a capital official!
Dingyuan Hou stared at Chu Yuncheng with hatred and anger in his eyes. From the beginning, he and Chu Yuncheng were destined not to be in the same camp, so they didn't even bother to do the superficial work!
Chu Yuncheng naturally felt his glare, but he didn't care at all!
He stood up, walked slowly to Dingyuan Hou, showed a smile, and said: "Qin Hou, now we have Ruan as the accuser. The killer's confession and the evidence on Qin Hou's body are not against you.
It's you, Marquis of Qin, who is targeting yourself!"
Marquis Dingyuan gritted his teeth and said: "I don't know what kind of killer there is. The prince and Lord Ji said that there is a killer. How do you know that it is not a thief who takes one bite and penetrates three parts to the bone? And how do you know that it is not a result of a beating? Now you will be sure of the murder with just one word.
I have nothing to say about your crime!"
Chu Yuncheng sneered and said: "The Marquis of Qin is really eloquent. After experience, you really abandoned the Ruan family from the beginning to the end, and did not care for your son! Do you want to admit it now?"
This incident made Marquis Dingyuan shut up. He quickly calculated in his mind that as an emperor's official, forcibly conscripting civilian girls was a serious crime, but he did not recruit the civilian girls, he just enjoyed them.
There is still room for change.
However, the others must not be recognized!
His eyes darkened, but he still said: "There is nothing that I dare not recognize. If it is really my son, I will take care of him. But now based on this woman's words, I have decided that it is too much."
What a joke? Although the mark on my body is a private secret, it is not a top secret. Who knows that someone knew about this mark on my body and set up this trap? As for the killer, Master Ji said that the killer has been captured by the patrolling guard.
Did Commander Jiang personally arrest and bring him to justice? Why not let them confront me?"
Chu Yuncheng said quietly: "Do you really want to confront me?"
Dingyuan Hou had confidence in the dead soldiers he had trained, but he did not know how many of them had been captured, nor what methods Jiang Mao used. After all, this Jiang Mao was from the frontier army and was in the field of life and death.
The one who crawled out was being brutally beaten under his hands.
But he couldn't lose his momentum, so he said coldly: "Of course!"
Ji Yu hurriedly said: "Anyway, this matter will be submitted to the emperor for a decision. The confrontation will only be done after the decision is made, and then the confrontation will be conducted by the chief official during the trial!"
Chu Yuncheng frowned. He was really an old fox who could hold the position of Jing Zhaoyin and sit firmly. Ji Yu was telling Marquis Dingyuan that he was impartial. He neither belonged to the fourth prince nor would he treat the great prince.
The people on the prince’s side are adding insult to injury!
To say that he does not have the authority to hear this case? It is all an excuse.
However, Chu Yuncheng is not worried. Now the evidence is complete, and the corpses in the other courtyard are all evidence.
Withdrew from court, Marquis Dingyuan, as the main person involved in the case, was still imprisoned despite his status as a Marquis.
Ji Yu felt like his butt was on fire. He quickly prepared the dossier and wrote a detailed report without stopping. Without any delay, he immediately submitted it to the emperor.
Almost at the same time that Ji Yu's zhezi was sent to the palace, Chu Yuncheng also had a zhezi sent to the palace.
In Prince Ding's mansion, the doctor was about to change Chu Yuncheng's dressing.
I opened the soft cloth and found it was soaked in blood.
Just as the doctor was about to cleanse and apply medicine, Chu Yuncheng suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
The doctor looked at him puzzled, and he turned to Mu Liao and asked, "How long has it been since you gave out the discounts?"
Mu Liao responded: "It's almost half an hour!"
Chu Yuncheng said to the doctor: "Wrap it up as it is!"
The doctor said: "Your Majesty, if the wound is not treated with medicine, it will not be conducive to recovery!"
"I have my own sense of propriety, so go ahead after wrapping it up!"
The doctor had no choice but to wrap it up as it was and went away confused.
On this side, Mu Liao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Highness is decisive and persevering, and he is indeed a person who can achieve great things!"
Chu Yuncheng smiled arrogantly. The wound on his arm really hurt. For such a noble person, he had rarely broken skin since he was a child, let alone this bloody one?
But if everything is beneficial to him, he will not hesitate to shed some blood.
Marquis Dingyuan was right to be confused. Chu Yuncheng stayed at Dingwang Mansion at night and never went to the other courtyard. Although the two places were not far apart.
However, when the news came from the other courtyard, Chu Yuncheng immediately went to the other courtyard after learning that Ruan's mother and son had been rescued by the patrolling guard Jiang Mao.
He had capable people under his command, and it was easy to evade the night guards under curfew. After arriving at the other courtyard, he found an empty room, and he directly pulled out the knife and stabbed his arm.
This almost scared Zuo Qing to death. As the prince's personal attendant, if the prince is injured, can he recover?
He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you..."
Chu Yuncheng was so painful that he broke into cold sweat and almost shed tears, but he showed a determined smile and said: "I went to look for Commander Jiang and said that I am also in the other courtyard and he is missing now!"
