Wang Dunshi felt so guilty that he was taken away by the government officials.
The trial continues.
Wei Yijie asked: "Chang Sun Jun, is there any evidence?"
Changsun Jun replied: "Of course there is, I have just presented the physical evidence."
Wei Yijie thought about the jade pendant that was taken away by Shangshu Liu Dewei, and then said to Fang Jun: "Chang Sun Jun just presented a physical evidence, which is a jade pendant you carried with you. According to Chang Sun Jun, this jade pendant is Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang gave it to you, but she showed up at the murder scene last night, and was secretly taken away from the scene by Cheng Wuting, a military officer who joined the army. At the same time, she tampered with the investigation records of the murder scene and erased the evidence. Do you have anything to say? "
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously touched his waist, and was suddenly shocked.
The jade pendant given to him by Princess Jinyang was missing...
Fang Jun's heart skipped a beat.
I have always carried this jade pendant with me and never left my body. Earlier when I was lying on my stomach when checking in at Jingzhao Mansion, I felt that it was rubbing my lower abdomen, so I lifted it up and picked it up from under my body. Why did it disappear?
After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that when I was just escorted into the Criminal Department Yamen, someone searched my body. It must have been that I was groped at that time...
But how to explain Yupei’s appearance at the murder scene last night?
There is no need for Wei Yijie to lie. The jade pendant is a royal item. No one dares to make it up. As long as a little investigation is done, it will be clear. Cheng Wuting hurried back from the Huxian Post House, and he must have also It was because he discovered that the jade pendant appeared at the scene of the murder that he did not hesitate to tamper with the investigation records to cover up for himself. It was precisely because of this that he was caught by people from the Ministry of Punishment and the jade pendant was taken away.
But……
Could it be that he had been delusional before, that the jade pendant had been lost a long time ago, and was left by the murderer at the crime scene to frame him?
Fang Jun's head was full of mush and he couldn't figure it out...
Wei Yijie was very proud. He raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Fang Jun, do you have anything to say about that jade pendant? Why don't you explain why that jade pendant appeared at the scene of the murder and in the hands of the deceased's eldest son, Sun Dan?" "
how to explain?
I can't explain it at all!
I can't understand it myself, how do you want me to explain it?
It is useless to question the authenticity of the jade pendant. If it were true, Cheng Wuting would not be so reckless as to destroy the evidence and tamper with the records.
But what exactly is going on?
When Wei Yijie saw that Fang Jun was silent, he felt very refreshed and felt quite depressed. Thinking that the big thing was done, it was almost certain that he would replace Liu Dewei as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He became more and more energetic and beaming. shouted: "Fang Jun! Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are conclusive, why don't you quickly confess why you killed Changsun Dan and how you committed the murder? If you are summoned quickly now, I will intercede for you in front of your majesty. If you persist in your persistence, If you are lucky, don't blame me for serving you with severe punishment!"
All the officials in the hall also let out a long sigh.
This Fang Jun is so messy and unsparing that he is really difficult to deal with...
Fortunately, this jade pendant made him speechless, otherwise this case would have left him scratching his head!
Just think about it if His Majesty, Fang Xuanling, all stood up for Fang Jun, and few people could bear the pressure...
Changsun Jun couldn’t hide his excitement!
Fang Jun, Fang Jun, do you have this day too?
Yesterday's senior official of Jingzhao Yin was about to become a prisoner of his subordinates. The resentment of the eldest son's family was finally relieved! It's just a pity that the eldest brother still has to hide in Tibet and dare not show his face in front of others. It's even more pity that the six The eldest brother, Sun Dan...
Now the Guanlong Group is making a collective effort. Even if Fang Jun cannot be sentenced to death, they will definitely beat him to the end and then be sent to the army!
Without the emperor's blessing and Fang Xuanling's power to rely on, Fang Jun was just a mallet! At that time, if I wanted to get rid of Fang Jun without anyone noticing, it would be easy and effortless!
Changsun Jun's eyes burst with the flames of hatred, and he glared at Fang Jun hatefully!
Fang Jun couldn't figure out what happened to the jade pendant. Why was it stolen from him just now, but it appeared at the scene of the murder last night?
But Fang Jun would never do such a thing as pleading guilty.
Don't say that he didn't kill anyone. Even if he really did, he must never admit it.
Isn’t there a saying, “If you confess, you will be lenient, and you will go to jail; if you resist, you will be lenient, and you will go home to celebrate the New Year”…
After all, I am Jing Zhaoyin, the consort, so I don’t believe that these people dare to sentence me to a crime and execute it immediately when I don’t plead guilty?
He said with an expressionless face: "I have nothing to say, but I will never mention the confession again. As long as Fang Jun is still alive and it is not something he did, then no one can frame him." !”
Wei Yijie chuckled, his face was a little distorted, he slapped the wooden door in the hall, and shouted: "How brave! The human and material evidence is conclusive, but you still want to deny it. You are really stupid! Come on! Use all kinds of torture instruments. Take them all out and give Jing Zhaoyin a try on each one to see if he is still so stubborn!"
"promise!"
Even then, some government officials rushed to the Houya Prison to retrieve the instruments of torture.
There are many yamen servants here who were severely beaten by Cheng Wuting and the Qu family generals of the Fang family in the Huxian Post House. How could he not be excited now that he could vent his frustration and depression on Fang Jun?
Anyway, I am just a pawn. Fang Jun doesn’t even know who we are, and he is not afraid of Fang Jun’s revenge afterwards...
When even a large number of odd and strange torture instruments were moved to the lobby, Wei Yijie planned to execute him in public.
Fang Jun remained silent.
Just now, he was acting recklessly and unruly. In order to avoid bad influence, Wei Yijie and others had no choice but to do anything about him. If he dares to resist now, it would be blatant resistance to state agencies, which would be a serious crime in any dynasty. !
Just looking at these ghastly torture instruments stained with brown blood, Fang Jun's scalp felt numb.
Since he time traveled, he has adapted to many things he has never done before, such as charging into battle, killing enemy bandits with his own hands... He was also deeply uneasy when he killed someone at the Wu family in Qizhou for the first time, but he got used to it as he kept killing. Later, in Jiangnan, East China Sea, and Linyi State, killing was as natural as breathing, without any psychological pressure.
But being tortured...
He was really unsure.
I used to be just a small bureaucrat in the new era. I had seen and heard about some of the darkness in society, but I had never tried it myself.
Just thinking about the endless variety of punishments in those film and television works and literary works... Fang Jun's hair stood on end.
What if I couldn't bear the painful torture and screamed or even burst into tears? Wouldn't it be a shame to die?
Why don't you just plead guilty...
Under Fang Jun's suspicious eyes, the officials used hand sticks, hammers, brain hoops, iron brushes, and even iron pear flowers that could completely destroy certain organs and could be opened and closed at will...
They are placed one by one in the lobby.
Wei Yijie's own eyelids twitched when he saw it. Although he was the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he came from a well-established family and was always proud of his status. He did not easily deal with these cruel and violent instruments of torture that were harmful to morality. When the Ministry of Punishment was interrogating criminals,
I won't get close easily.
There is no need to witness the tragic scene, just the shrill scream can make Wei Yijie sleepless at night and lose his appetite...
He swallowed his saliva, but at this moment, he couldn't give up. He stared at Fang Jun and shouted: "Fang Jun, it's too late to plead guilty now. Otherwise, after going through these instruments of torture and suffering excruciating torture, you still have to plead guilty. Why would you let yourself suffer this inhumane situation?"
punishment?"
Fang Junxin said I was a fool!
If you plead guilty, will you be as good as me?
He bit the bullet and said: "Never!"
Wei Yijie's eyelids twitched, and with a cruel heart, he shouted: "Give me the punishment!"
Several government officials stepped forward to take Fang Junsuo away...
"stop!"
There was a loud shout in the court, which startled everyone.
Looking around, it was Zhang Yunji...
Wei Yijie looked hesitant and said angrily: "What does Mr. Zhang have to say?"
Zhang Yunji's face remained unchanged and he said slowly: "Although this case seems to have all the witnesses and material evidence and cannot be denied, in fact it has not gone through a detailed trial. We have not even looked at the case files carefully. How can we be so reckless and rash?"
I don’t think it’s appropriate to use severe punishment on a high-ranking official of the second rank, a high-ranking official in the border areas.”
Wei Yijie was in a daze. Has this old guy lost his mind?
Fang Jun was also a little puzzled. Could it be that this Yunji turned against him and wanted to join me?
