The time is approaching noon, and the sun above the head is like a burning fireball, steaming the entire confession scene. The heavy rain last night is almost evaporated, and the entire confession scene is like a steam oven.
The presiding judge's seat and the auditorium's seats in the court were fine. There was a pergola to cover them, so they didn't have to face the scorching sun.
Zhu Ping'an was not so lucky. The sun was blazing, and the sweat on his face dripped down his chin from time to time.
It is indeed summer.
I really miss modern air conditioners, even fans.
Ma Dan
Now I even feel a little envious of Zhao Daying. This guy is shirtless and definitely much cooler than me.
However, Zhao Daying didn't think so. After noticing that Zhu Pingan glanced at him, he always felt that Zhu Pingan was mocking the scar on his back, so his resentment towards Zhu Pingan became even stronger. Just go ahead and say, next
There are times when you cry.
"Zhu Pingan, what evidence do you have for impeaching Zhao Daying for killing a good man and taking merit?" Wang Xueyi, the presiding officer of the Criminal Department, looked at each other and Zhao Daying, and then turned his eyes to Zhu Pingan, his eyes were much stern, like interrogation.
asked the same question.
"Of course, please order the witnesses Liu Mu, Liu Dadao, Liu Daqiang, Liu Dachui, Liu Daxe, and Liu Dagang to come to court." Zhu Ping'an replied, cupping his hands.
witness?
After Zhu Pingan's words fell, many people let out a surprised sound.
Many people did not expect that Zhu Pingan would have witnesses. This was beyond their expectations. They had not received any news that Zhu Pingan had witnesses before.
If there were witnesses, then Zhao Daying would be in doubt.
Many officials looked at Zhao Daying, but Zhao Daying's reaction was even more unexpected. After hearing the news that Zhu Ping'an requested the court to pass witnesses, Zhao Daying was not surprised at all.
Not worried at all, but even more calm than before.
"Please order the witnesses to be summoned. I am also curious about who the witnesses Mr. Zhu mentioned are. I am not afraid of shadows, but I want to see these witnesses."
Zhao Daying clasped his fists confidently. Not only did he not stop him, he was even more proactive than Zhu Pingan in requesting the court to summon witnesses.
After that, he gave Zhu Pingan a provocative look.
Yo?
Regarding Zhao Daying's reaction, Zhu Ping'an showed a look of astonishment on his face.
Seeing Zhu Ping'an's shocked reaction, Zhao Daying felt so happy in his heart that he let out a big sigh of relief. The smile on his face became even thicker, as if he had a plan in mind.
Seeing the reactions of Zhao Daying and Zhu Pingan, the military attachés in the auditorium felt more relieved. It seemed that Zhao Daying had already dealt with it, and now it was better. There was a good show to watch. Zhu Pingan had just stepped on his heels.
When pressed, they all became nervous. Now they could finally relax, have a cup of tea and watch the show.
then
The military attaches in the gallery picked up their teacups and drank tea while waiting for the show to begin.
The presiding judge was very kind, and Wang Xueyi took out a spiritual sign and asked a police officer to hold the spiritual sign and call Liu Mu outside the lobby of the Criminal Department, and Liu Dadao and the others came to the court.
But in fact, Zhao Daying still thought too much. Zhu Ping'an was not surprised that Zhao Daying was so confident, but that Zhao Daying recovered so quickly after being slapped in the face.
Thinking about it, the reason why Zhao Daying was so confident was that he had learned the news about Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the others in advance. Although Zhu Ping'an wanted to hide the news about Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the others, until Chen Qingshi gave Zhao Daying a sudden surprise.
However, Zhao Daying had already made preparations for knowing the news about Liu Mu and Liu Dadao in advance.
The relationship between Yan Mansion and Jin Yiwei commander Lu Bing has been no longer a secret since the Xia Yan incident, and Zhu Ping'an also knew a lot about Lu Bing from history.
Lu Bing is neither a good person nor a bad person. Although he has the power over the world, he is still a little timid. When Xia Yan was the chief assistant, he did not dare to compete with Xia Yan until Xia Yan wanted to punish him.
When Qiu Luan was convicted, he colluded with Yan Song to overthrow Xia Yan; when Qiu Luan gained the favor of Emperor Jiajing and suppressed Yan Song, Lu Bing also pretended to flatter Qiu Luan and used money to befriend him. It was not until Qiu Luan was critically ill that Lu Bing transferred Qiu Luan to him.
Luan's evil intentions were revealed; now that Yan Song was the chief assistant, even though Lu Bing was powerful, he did not dare to fight against Yan Song, but made friends with Yan Song.
Shen Lian was Lu Bing's admired subordinate, but when Shen Lian impeached Yan Song, Lu Bing did not dare to rescue Shen Lian, as is evident from this incident.
Therefore, as long as Yan Song's power is stable, Lu Bing will only befriend Yan Song and show his goodwill to Yan Song.
Lu Bing is the highest commander of the Jin Yiwei. Lu Bing is a good friend of Yan Song, which means that the Jin Yiwei is a good friend of Yan Song. Now that the Jin Yiwei has suppressed Dongchang and restored the glory of Taizu, the Jin Yiwei fans have eyes and ears all over the world. As long as the Jin Yiwei is willing, then
In front of the Jin Yiwei, no matter whether they are princes, ministers or ordinary people, there will be no secrets.
Zhu Ping'an took Liu Mu in. Although Liu Dadao and the others were secretive about the matter, they were not confident that they could hide it from the Jin Yiwei. If they couldn't hide it from the Jin Yiwei, then they couldn't hide it from the Yan Mansion, and naturally they couldn't hide it from Zhao Daying.
Therefore, Zhu Pingan made two preparations when preparing for Chen Qing. Seeing Zhao Daying confident and confident at this moment, Zhu Pingan was just slightly stunned, and slightly raised the corners of his lips without leaving any trace.
At this moment, outside the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, Wang Shizhen, Zhang Siwei, Liu Mu, and Liu Dadao were blocked by the Jin Yi guards and soldiers.
Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the others have been blocked outside the alley under martial law for a long time. They were blocked from the alley before they even reached the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. After Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen arrived, they recognized Liu Dadao and the others and learned that
After they were stopped, they wanted to take them in as officials, but not to mention taking Liu Dadao and the others in, they themselves were also stopped.
"I am Zhang Siwei, editor of the Hanlin Academy. Why can't I even enter?" Zhang Siwei, dressed in official uniform, stepped forward and said to the Jin Yiwei who was blocking the way.
"I am a government official at Dali Temple, let me in." Wang Shizhen also stepped forward and argued with the Jin Yiwei who was blocking the way.
"I'm sorry, my lords. Anyone who has not received the official letter from the Ministry of Justice will not be allowed in." Jin Yiwei stood in front of the door with an expressionless face and shook his head.
"Then why did those two adults get in just now?" Zhang Siwei asked.
"Just now, the two adults have an official letter from the Ministry of Justice. If the two adults also have it, I would not dare to stop it. If there is no official letter, the two adults should please take it back." Jin Yiwei clasped his hands and showed no intention of being accommodating.
This is a different treatment. Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei were indignant.
Just after they found out that officials were allowed to attend the petition, they immediately changed their official uniforms and hurried over, preparing to come to the petition site to support Zhu Ping'an. However, they did not expect that even the audition had been arranged in advance, and there was no official letter.
Just can't get in.
"We are here to testify that Zhao Daying committed a murder and took credit for his crimes. Let us go in." Liu Dadao and the others said anxiously.
"No one is allowed in without an official letter." Jin Yiwei's eyes were cold. He was not as polite to Liu Dadao as he was to Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen. "I advise you to leave as soon as possible. If you dare to pester again, you will be punished in court."
Just when Liu Dadao and the others were helpless, they suddenly heard a message from the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, "Your Majesty has an order, pass it to Liu Mu, and Liu Dadao will go to court." Then they saw a police officer running out with the order in hand.
