The supervisory censors, headed by Li Xunhuan, the censor of Zuoqiandu, suddenly felt that they were useless.
After struggling for so many days, Wen Jie was finally found guilty of two crimes.
Look at Mr. Yang, the young minister of Dali Temple. In one night, Wen Jie has already committed seven deadly sins!
"Brother Qingyuan, is there any evidence for what you said?!"
Of course there must be evidence, even if there is no evidence, evidence must be created!
Yang Qingyuan took out two cloth bags from the file!
Among them are the scraps of paper and martial arts secrets that were "found" in Wen Mansion!
"This is the evidence found in Wenjie's house. As for the dead soldiers raised by Wenjie, the assassins are still imprisoned in the dungeon of Dali Temple! Several sets of armor were also found in Wenjie's house! Weapons are useless! Everything
It’s all well-documented!”
Li Xunhuan looked at the evidence in Yang Qingyuan's hand and said to the several supervisory censors on the side, "Everyone, you have to work hard to communicate with your colleagues in Dali Temple! Go and do a simple count of the number of dead soldiers in the Wen Dynasty."
After many supervisory censors left, Li Xunhuan opened the memorial and evidence again!
"Brother Yang! These evidences are false!"
When Yang Qingyuan heard this, a smile appeared in his eyes.
If we talk about Yang Qingyuan's people whom the court knows best, Li Xunhuan must be firmly in the top three. This memorial is really not like Yang Qingyuan's style!
Yang Qingyuan’s previous memorial was clear in explanation, complete in evidence, and clear in structure! Especially the analysis of the case and the conviction of the crime were second to none in the court! There is no other!
However, the memorial that Li Xunhuan saw now contained overlapping accusations and an incomplete chain of evidence, which was very different from Yang Qingyuan's usual style.
"This is not my memorial!"
Li Xunhuan was slightly startled by Yang Qingyuan's words, but he immediately came to his senses!
He is too familiar with this style of memorial!
"This is……"
"This is the memorial I wrote for Brother Li!"
Sure enough, as Li Xunhuan expected, this memorial was written in the style of a censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The supervisory censor Ke heard about the incident, evidence?! What is that?!
If the Metropolitan Procuratorate had evidence, it would not be as simple as impeaching you! Instead, it would directly invite you to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for tea!
Compared with ordinary supervisory censors, Yang Qingyuan's memorial is considered to have sufficient evidence!
"What is the purpose of Brother Yang's move?!"
"Kill Wenjie! Zhengtian Dao!"
Li Xunhuan didn't understand why this method was used to kill Wenjie. Based on the evidence found so far by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a death sentence for Wenjie was more than enough!
Yang Qingyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. Brother Li's political sensitivity is still not enough.
Yesterday, Cheng Qingsong had mentioned two people, but Li Xunhuan didn't understand what Cheng Qingsong meant!
"Brother Li, the charges that the procuratorate has charged Wen Jie with are murder and adultery!"
"Isn't it enough for His Majesty to kill him when so many people have been harmed?" Li Xunhuan asked in return.
"Have you ever offended Your Majesty with Wen Jie's crime?!"
"Never!"
"With Wen Jie's crime, have you ever committed rebellion and rebellion?!"
"Never."
"With Wen Jie's crime, has the country been shaken?!"
"…never."
Li Xunhuan already understood the meaning of Yang Qingyuan's words.
"In your Majesty's eyes, are these hundreds of lives not worth Wen Jie's death?!"
Yang Qingyuan remained silent.
When Wen Jie started to rob, he had investigated the background of those women. They were all peasant girls and merchant wives and concubines from the counties around Shendu.
If these people were not powerless, they would not dare to redress their grievances even if they knew Wen Jie's identity.
Occasionally, some stubborn people who were not afraid of Wen Jie were also dealt with by Wen's servants and dead soldiers!
The people at the bottom have no human rights in this era. There is no public opinion for them, and there is no history for them.
If these more than a hundred human lives could be exchanged for the emperor's "benevolence, kindness and generosity" in the history of history, then most emperors would dream of it.
Li Xunhuan took the memorial from Yang Qingyuan and said, "Wen Jie's crime must be punished!"
"Then please leave it to Brother Li!"
----------
Today, the imperial study seems a bit crowded.
Representatives of Fengyang nobles, Zhongshan King Xu Zhongshou and Song Dynasty Duke Feng Cheng, are among them.
As for Yang Qingyuan's best opponent, Fengyang Xungui's pig teammate, Wei Guogong Deng Zhen was not present.
What happened last time really frightened Fengyang Xungui. Duke Deng Zhen of Wei State was really helpful to Yang Qingyuan!
They were so scared that Fengyang Xungui didn’t dare to take him with him this time! They were afraid that he would bring down the entire audience again.
In addition to Fengyang Xungui, there are also four bachelors, Qian Muqian, Yu Yanyi, Changsun Fuji, and Li Hongyi, and Prince Cheng, who manages the clan mansion.
As well as the Chancellor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Cheng Qingsong, the censor of the capital on the right, Wei Donglai, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, Yang Qingyuan, the minister of Dali Temple, and Li Xunhuan, the censor of the capital on the left.
"Your Majesty! The crimes of the former Zuo Tunwei General Wen Jie are all stated in the memorial! There is solid evidence for his crimes. The crime I committed against Wen Jie is unworthy of heaven's grace. The crime is so heinous that I dare not make arbitrary decisions. I can only submit to His Majesty's Holy Judgment!
"
Emperor Zhou opened the memorial and wrote six major sins!
Adultery, murder, bending the law, colluding with Japanese pirates, raising dead soldiers, and hiding soldiers and armor!
This memorial is an abridged version! Some things cannot be stated openly!
For example, Wenjie colluded with the generals under King Zhao.
The eldest lady of Zhongshan Palace, Xu Miaoyi, is the Princess of Zhao.
The complete version of the memorial is that last night, Li Xunhuan and Yang Qingyuan went to the palace that night to invite the emperor.
-----
Last night, in the royal study.
"Li Qing, is what you said in your memorial true?"
"Everything reported back to the superiors has solid evidence! Some of the crimes were discovered by Mr. Yang!"
Emperor Zhou turned his attention to Yang Qingyuan.
"Yang Qing!?"
Yang Qingyuan took half a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, when I captured Wen Jie in Zhangjiacun, Cuihua Mountain, I also captured the dead soldiers he raised. There were fifty-four assassins in total! The remaining sixteen were killed on the spot because they resisted the arrest!
"
"Seventy dead soldiers?!"
Emperor Zhou was already convinced.
"Not only the dead men, but also the 'Judge Scissors', the killer organization that wiped out Dali Temple half a year ago, also colluded with Wen Jie. Its bandit leader, Judge Cui, only obeyed Wen Jie's orders."
"Which King Zhao has proven evidence of colluding with Japanese pirates!"
Li Xunhuan took out two black silk bags from his sleeves and handed them to Emperor Zhou by the accompanying Xichang Supervisor Yu Huatian.
Emperor Zhou opened the first cloth bag, which contained some unburned scraps of paper and two envelopes!
"Sir, these are the scraps of paper that Wei Chen found from a pile of ashes when he searched the Wen Mansion. In addition, there are two unburned envelopes!"
Emperor Zhou also took out envelopes from it. One of them should be Wen Jie's letter to the other party. He wrote a letter and my brother Zhang Shimei signed it personally.
Emperor Zhou knew about Zhang Shimei. He was a trusted general under the command of King Zhao and was in charge of the affairs of Yancheng.
Looking at the remaining piece of paper in his hand, there are keywords such as "Yancheng commanded Qianshi", "talented twice as much as me", "war in the north", "troop training", etc. on the top.
Emperor Zhou was already convinced of this!
Sometimes, incomplete evidence is more convincing than complete evidence.
In people's subconscious mind, what you infer is always more credible than what others tell you.
