Hundreds of officials rushed to Zhangtai Palace one after another.
Today is the Great Dynasty.
When Ying Zheng appeared in Zhangtai Palace, ministers were already standing inside and outside the solemn Zhangtai Palace.
All the officials looked solemn and greeted him respectfully.
Ying Zheng stood on the high platform, his eyes like falcons, sharply scanning all the officials in the palace. Wherever he looked, all the officials bowed their heads, no one dared to raise their head to look at each other.
After more than thirty years in power, the First Emperor's pressure became increasingly heavy.
After Ying Zheng sat down, the doctor ordered Meng Yi to speak and announced the start of the dynasty.
The dynasty first discussed political affairs.
However, all the officials knew very well that the focus of the court this time was not on political affairs, but on the murder that occurred in the city two days ago.
The deliberation is over.
Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly and spoke expressionlessly. His voice was not mixed with any emotion and was calm and intimidating. "I heard that a bad murder occurred in Xianyang City. You should have heard about it too. I want to hear it."
Let’s hear what you think.”
"Shilu."
"I'm here." Shi Lu quickly stepped out of the queue.
"You are the jailor of Tingwei Mansion, and this murder case will be investigated by you. Now in front of all the officials, please explain the case in detail," Ying Zheng said.
Shi Lu bowed and said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"The perpetrator of this murder is public servant Qin Luoheng."
All the officials listened silently.
They all know something about this murder case.
Shi Lu continued:
"The cause was a verbal dispute at Lanchi Gaotai."
"Huang Sheng, the son of Huang Jingxiu, fell in love with a woman named Bo. This woman named Bo fell in love with the official Qin Luoheng. Huang Sheng couldn't get a girl, so he became angry and kidnapped Bo and three other women. He wanted to do something wrong. Qin Luoheng
After Heng learned about it, he..."
Shi Lu spoke in great detail.
Finished.
He stood aside quietly, waiting to be questioned.
Ying Zheng looked calm and said: "You have been reviewing the case for two days, and you have a detailed understanding of the case. I want to know how the case went? Are there any doubts?"
Shi Lu bowed and said:
"I dare not hide it, there is still one more doubt."
"The perpetrator Qin Luoheng confessed in prison that in addition to robbing women this time, Huang Sheng had also committed such misconduct many times in the past. However, he had only been in the court for a short time and was not very skilled in handling related cases. Therefore,
This suspicion has not been identified.”
Ying Zheng frowned.
Shi Lu only felt his body sink.
He quickly said:
"I sent someone to Cao Yamen yesterday to transfer the love letters related to Huang Sheng. However, when I went to transfer these love letters, I found that these love letters had been transferred in advance."
"I acted carelessly, and I ask Your Majesty to punish you."
Hear the words.
Censor Yang Zhang said tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, this part of the love letter was transferred by me."
"I have recently been investigating a case of 'taking an official position for good', and Huang Sheng is suspected of paying bribes. I have recently called up Huang Sheng's relevant love letters. I have been obsessed with handling political affairs recently, but I didn't know that this happened in the city.
Waiting for the murder case, I...I am terrified."
Ying Zheng first said: "You handle political affairs for the country, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Zhang said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity and consideration."
"I also venture to say something further. I am a little confused by Shi Yuzheng's words. His Majesty entrusted him with such an important case. If Shi Yuzheng needs these love letters, he can directly send someone to get them. I have been in the Yushi Mansion for two days. No one from the Wei Mansion came to inquire."
"Shi Yuzheng, you are derelict in your duty!"
Hear the words.
Shi Lu quickly bowed to Ying Zheng and said:
"I have neglected my duty."
"I was in charge of the prison office for the first time and was not familiar with the transfer of Xianyang Yuan Shu. I thought that just like the local government, the relevant Yuan Shu could only be transferred after other official offices had used them up. It was precisely because I was unclear about the transfer of Yuan Shu. This led to this error."
"Your Majesty, please punish me."
Shi Lu readily admitted his mistake.
Seeing Shi Lu's harmless appearance and Huang Tianqiong, Xu Chang and others standing not far away, their expressions relaxed, and even a smile appeared on their faces. They were afraid that this prisoner who had just come from the local area was an insidious and cunning person. He never thought that he was a fool who was not familiar with political affairs.
What do they have to fear?
Guo Dan stood behind the officials, still with his head lowered, and glanced sideways at Huang Tianqiong, Xu Chang and others. Seeing the changes in their expressions, he secretly laughed in his heart.
He really wanted to laugh.
He had close contact with Shi Lu and knew that Shi Lu was a secretive old fox. The Huang family's people wanted to trick Shi Lu, but they were probably wrong.
Guo Dan secretly said:
"Just be proud of yourself."
"Shi Lu, this old fox is in a bad mood."
"Do you really think he is harmless if he looks like a harmless person? This old fox has a black face and heart!"
"The evil will not kill you!"
Ying Zheng glanced at Shi Lu and said expressionlessly: "Those who don't know are not guilty, but there are still doubts about the case. When are you going to close this case?"
Shi Lu bowed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are indeed doubts about the case, but it has little impact on the conclusion of the case."
Hua Fu's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "Is Shi Yuzheng joking? If what Qin Luoheng said is true, then Huang Sheng has committed the crime of adultery and is not guilty of killing according to the law. His subordinates are comrades and killed If he is also innocent, then Qin Luoheng only maliciously hurt others."
"If what he said is untrue, Qin Luoheng not only ignored human life, but also slandered Huang Jingxiu's son. If the crime is increased to one degree, he may be sentenced to death. There is such a big difference between the two sentences. How can he be so rash to say that this pair has nothing to do with the case? Too much impact?”
"How ridiculous is this?!"
Yao Jia retorted:
"Yushi Hua's words are wrong."
"I think what Shi Yu said is right."
"Then Qin Luoheng is a murderous maniac. This is a fact known to the whole city."
"His crime is unforgivable, and now because of his unintentional words, the prison authorities have to go through a lot of trouble to investigate. This is simply not advisable."
"If every case is handled this way, then whoever commits a crime will slander others when they are caught. If things continue like this, won't county jailers and county jailers everywhere be exhausted to death?"
"Furthermore, Qin Luoheng has killed so many people, and his crime has long been enough to lead to death. Even if he is accused of another false accusation, what impact will it have on him?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This murder case is not controversial."
"The only controversy is not from the witnesses or physical evidence, but from the perpetrator. Just because the perpetrator said a word, it is really ridiculous for the prison officials to waste their attention."
"If this is spread out, wouldn't it make the world laugh at you?"
Hua Fu said angrily:
"Yao Jia, don't be so sarcastic."
"Then Huang Sheng has already kidnapped three women. Isn't there no witness? Then if Huang Sheng really had no problem, why would he kidnap three girls? If Qin Luoheng hadn't found out about Huang Sheng's evil deeds, would he have suddenly become violent?
Are you born on the edge of courage?"
"You are completely arrogant!"
Yao Jia coldly snorted:
"There is no doubt that Huang Sheng did kidnap the three girls, but no one knows what his intention was in taking the three girls. Even if Huang Sheng really had evil intentions, he is dead now."
"In Huang Sheng's biography and love book, it is clearly recorded that he has not behaved inappropriately in the past."
“Convicting a person of committing adultery without any evidence?”
"This is ridiculous!"
"Hua Yushi, you can't slander the dead just because they can't speak. I know you had a relationship with Qin Luoheng, but friendship is friendship and the law is the law. The trial depends on evidence, not pure imagination.
"
"You want to prove that Huang Sheng is guilty of adultery."
"Can!"
"You have to show evidence."
“How can people be convinced by empty words?”
Hua Fu was furious.
He really wished he could kill Yao Jia with his sword.
It’s so irritating!
Sitting weakly and senilely.
He didn't even want to pay attention to this dispute. Huafu didn't say there was a possibility of winning. Yao Jia was born in a famous family and was good at debating. When he was sent to the six countries as an envoy, he even fought with the heroes. How could a general in Huafu win the argument?
of?
Huafu is just looking for abuse.
Looking at the argument between Hua Fu and Yao Jia, Ying Zheng's eyes darkened and he said displeasedly: "The murder case is tried by Shi Lu. If you have any doubts, it should be Shi Lu who comes to defend you. You two are arguing over it."
What’s the point?”
"Sit back!"
The two people hurriedly said: "I know I was wrong."
Ying Zheng looked at Shi Lu and said with an indifferent expression: "You heard it just now. Yu Shi Hua and Yao Fengchang have different opinions on your statement. How do you explain this?"
Shi Lu bowed and said:
"I don't think my wording is wrong."
"It is true that I did not get the relevant love letter from Huang Sheng, but that part of the love letter is not as important to me as Yang Yushi. If I knew that the love letter was with Yang Yushi, I still would not go there
Ask for it.”
"Why?" Ying Zheng asked with great interest.
Shi Lu said:
"I am only responsible for trying this murder case."
"As for the other cases Huang Sheng was involved in, they were not within the scope of the minister's duties. Those love letters can be used as supporting evidence for Yang Yushi, but for the minister's case, they are only used to solve a doubt.
"
"I don't need to know these details in detail."
"I only want one result!"
"Yang Yushi has been in the Yushi Mansion for many years and has tried countless cases. He is very familiar with the information in the love book. In the past few days, Yang Yushi has been checking Huang Sheng's related love books day and night. He must be very familiar with what Huang Sheng did.
I already know everything."
"I dare to ask."
"Yang Yushi, is Huang Sheng really innocent?"
"Is there really nothing confusing in his love books?"
"Please Yang Yushi to clear up the confusion!"
"Yang Yushi, you have been obsessed with these political affairs recently. Now in front of His Majesty and all the officials, you must not make fun of your subordinates."
Hear the words.
Yang Zhang was stunned on the spot.
Huang Tianqiong and others were also dumbfounded.
They never imagined that Shi Lu could be so cunning and dare to take advantage of the situation in front of the First Emperor, but they were unable to show their anger, and they did not even dare to look at him.
Guo Dan's eyelids were also twitching wildly.
He thought that Shi Lu was very shady, but he didn't expect that Shi Lu was so shady. Not only did he shackle Yang Zhang, Huang Tianqiong and others, but he also shackled Yao Jia. Yao Jia had eloquently rebutted Hua Fu. If Yang Zhang answered, Huang Sheng
If there is a problem, this is a slap in Yao Jia’s face.
Faintly.
Guo Dan was also looking forward to it.
He wanted to know what Yang Zhang would say in front of His Majesty.
Yang Zhang held the wat tablet in his hand, his face turned pale, and he could not stop sweating all over his body. He looked at Huang Tianqiong for help, but Huang Tianqiong did not dare to look at him at all.
