Wang Li then raised his hands and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Jia Ke is ambitious and has no regard for court laws. Li Changshi's body is still parked in the palace. If the emperor does not believe it, he can send someone to examine it."
After hearing what he said, the emperor immediately said to Sun Yan, the Minister of Punishment: "You should take people to examine the body now to see how Chang Shi died. Then come back and report to me immediately."
Sun Yan, the Minister of Punishment, came out of his office, knelt before the emperor and said, "I obey the decree."
After saying this, he turned around and left the main hall and went directly back to the Criminal Department.
Although Sun Yan didn't do anything on the surface, he actually knew in his heart that King Zhongshun was framed by Jia Ke.
At this time, he kept sneering in his heart. Wait a moment and I'll see how you get off the stage.
Jia Ke looked at the emperor and the censor acting there, and felt a little dissatisfied. During this period of time, the emperor kept attacking him. He just defended and gave him great face. Unexpectedly, the emperor not only
He didn't know how to restrain himself, but instead he got worse. Do you really think that Jia Ke is a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by them?
It seems that we need to give them some clues this time, otherwise they won't know about Lord Ma's three eyes.
"Your Majesty, how did this censor know about the affairs of Prince Zhongshun's palace? And he came to impeach me just after the death of a man? If there is no transaction with Prince Zhongshun, I will not believe it."
The emperor glanced at Jia Ke sideways, and then said nonchalantly: "It's just normal for a censor to report something. Jia Aiqing is overly worried."
Jia Ke stared at the emperor, and then said loudly: "I think he is falsely accusing the minister. He should be imprisoned first, and then handed over to the chief executive to interrogate whether he has any accomplices. Then they should be severely punished."
Otherwise, Jia Ke would not stop saying this, "If there is really a robbery of privacy, and the dignified prince colludes with the ministers, isn't this rebellion? I saw that these people should not be punished for treason."
After hearing what Jia Ke said, the emperor was shocked. Looking at Jia Ke's face, he knew that he was really angry this time.
At this time, the emperor couldn't help but think of Liu Yu's warning to him a few days ago. Jia Ke had reached the limit of his patience during this period. He asked the emperor to stop provoking Jia Ke and wait until something big was ready to capture Jia Ke in one fell swoop.
It's not too late to take revenge when the time comes.
Now looking at Jia Ke's appearance, he doesn't want to endure it any longer. If Jia Ke starts to act early because of today's events, then he still has no way to deal with him. I'm afraid that both jade and stone will be destroyed by then, and the throne under his butt will probably have to be replaced.
People.
The emperor broke out in a cold sweat thinking about this, so he quickly comforted Jia Ke, "Jia Aiqing, you don't have to be angry. I just saw that there was no real evidence for a while and I impeached the minister based on just two words. The crime cannot be punished. After a while, the Minister of Punishment will come back and investigate.
If you find out the truth, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Jia Ke looked at the emperor and knew that he had changed his mind and wanted to see how the emperor appeased him, so Jia Ke flicked his sleeves and returned to the class.
At this time, the censor who was kneeling below, listening to the conversation between the emperor and Jia Ke, was so frightened that his face turned pale and his body was like sieve chaff. He regretted in his heart that he had to get involved in it just because he flattered King Zhongshun and the silver coins sent by King Zhongshun.
It's really not worth it.
Besides, Sun Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, left the palace gate and returned to the Ministry of Punishment at high speed. He immediately ordered all the most experienced co-workers in the Ministry of Punishment to be found.
Soon, three strong middle-aged men in simple clothes entered the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.
As soon as they entered the lobby, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Sun Yan, "You guys, please pay homage to your Excellency." Then they knelt there and waited for Sun Yan's instructions.
Sun Yan stood up and came to them, walked around in front of them a few times, and then said: "We are going to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion to handle a big event in a while. There is a corpse among them. You must examine it carefully. There can be no mistakes.
.If something goes wrong, none of the three of you will survive."
After listening to Sun Yan's words, these three policemen looked pale. They are the most experienced policemen in the Criminal Department. They have seen many major and important cases. But they have never heard of it. Only the test went wrong and people were killed.
.It seems that this time is no small matter. Those who accepted bribes in the past seem to be afraid to use them this time.
Sun Yan looked at these three people, his pale face already understanding their thoughts.
Sun Yan called these three people because he was afraid that something would go wrong. As long as one of them could uprightly enforce the law, there would be nothing wrong.
After Sun Yan finished explaining to them, he summoned about 10 of his confidants and said to them: "Going to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion this time is not a trivial matter. I'm afraid something will go wrong. You people don't need to do anything else, just watch this for me."
Three gangsters, if anyone comes into contact with them, take them down immediately."
The government servants below all bowed their hands and said yes.
The three gangsters are even more scared now. It seems that the eldest boss of the Ministry of Punishment does not believe in themselves. He is sending people to look at themselves, because they are afraid that they will have some contact with others and spoil the matter.
After Sun Yan explained this, he immediately led his people straight to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion. When they arrived at the gate of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, they told the guard guarding the gate that they had come to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion on official business under the order of the emperor, so that King Zhongshun immediately opened the door.
Door.
When the guard at the gate heard what he said, someone immediately went in to report to King Zhongshun.
At this time, King Zhongshun was waiting for news from the dynasty in his flower hall. He was thinking that this time, even if Jia Ke was not put to death, he would have to peel off his skin.
At this time, King Zhongshun was still very proud, thinking that he had helped his emperor brother. As long as he catches Jia Ke's mistake this time, he can weaken his authority, and even directly destroy the Jia family.
One was destroyed.
I have to say that King Zhongshun is still a bit naive. He has not considered the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the capital until now. He still has a sweet dream that these troops are loyal to the court.
At this moment, the guard outside the door came in and reported to him, "Your Majesty, Sun Yan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, came to our house with a group of people outside, saying that he was coming to our house on business under the orders of the Emperor. Please tell the Prince
You open the middle door wide so they can get in."
King Zhongshun immediately smiled after hearing this. He knew that the emperor had sent people to do an autopsy. He immediately ordered them: "Open the middle door immediately, and I will go there to greet you personally."
Sun Yan didn't wait long outside when he saw the door of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion rumbling open. Then Prince Zhongshun walked out wearing a python robe.
When Sun Yan saw King Zhongshun, he quickly stepped forward and saluted, "If you come down again abruptly, please forgive me for your sins."
"Master Sun, please don't say that. I wonder why you came here this time? How can I work for you, the Minister of Punishment?"
"To be honest, someone attended Wuyang Marquis Jia Ke's meeting today and said that he killed the chief historian of your mansion. That's why the emperor ordered me to come for an autopsy to see how the chief historian of your mansion died." Sun Yangong
He respectfully reported back to King Zhongshun.
After hearing this, King Zhongshun let out a long sigh, "Oh, this is also my fault. I actually let him provoke the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department. Only then did he let him take the blame for the battle, and finally died."
Sun Yan had heard what King Zhongshun meant, but he just smiled and said nothing. King Zhongshun was helpless when Sun Yan didn't talk to him, so he had no choice but to invite him in.
Everyone entered Prince Zhongshun's Mansion and turned left to a remote small courtyard. The body of Chang Shi was parked in it. They could only hear bursts of crying inside, presumably from the family members of Chang Shi wailing inside.
When Sun Yan arrived at the place, he said to King Zhongshun: "Your Majesty, we are going to go in for an autopsy next time. Your Majesty, would you like to avoid it or go in with us?"
King Zhongshun didn't want to go in with them at first, but he was worried about Sun Yan. Although he knew that he was the emperor's man, he didn't want to deal with Jia Ke. But he still thought it would be better to keep an eye on him personally.
"Of course I went in with you. This Li Changshi has been working for me for so many years. Now that something like this happens, how can I ignore it?"
After hearing this, Sun Yan nodded, said no more, and led the people into the small courtyard.
I saw a coffin parked in the main room of the small courtyard, surrounded by white paper. Beneath it was a woman kneeling with two children, who were all wailing there.
King Zhongshun came to the lady first and said, "Madam, this Minister of Punishment has come to redress your lord's grievances on the emperor's order. He wants to examine your lord's body now, so you should wait aside.
"
After hearing what King Zhongshun said, the lady turned around and saw Sun Yan. She immediately rushed to him, hugged his legs and said loudly: "Master Qingtian, you have to make the decision for my husband-in-law. He died unjustly."
Sun Yan felt a little uncomfortable with this lady holding her thigh, so he hurriedly lowered his body to help her. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a piece of paper was suddenly handed into his hand.
Sun Yan was shocked, knowing that it was this woman who had conveyed the news to him. So he said calmly: "Don't worry, the emperor already knows about this matter. He specially sent me to investigate thoroughly, and I will definitely do it for your husband."
It's fair."
After saying that, he ordered a few government officials to help the woman and the child aside. Then he said to the three men behind him: "Come and check on the spot. What is going on? If you check carefully, you will understand."
The three men came to the coffin, opened the coffin, and took the body out of the coffin. They placed it on the open space in the center of the main room and began to examine it.
At first, they looked at Chang Shi's body inch by inch, recording every scar clearly, even the depth of the scars.
At the end, they took the silver needle and kept prodding at the tip of the throat. They kept doing it for more than an hour before they finally finished the test.
The three of them came together to Sun Yan, the Minister of Punishment, and said, "Your Majesty, the experience has been completed." After saying this, they raised a document high and handed it to Sun Yan.
After Sun Yan took a closer look at the document, he understood what was going on. After all, he had been the Minister of the Ministry of Justice for so many years, what kind of strange case had he not seen? How could such a little trick be hidden from him? That is, a prince like King Zhongshun
The young master thought he was doing everything perfectly, but he didn't know that in the eyes of experts, there were flaws everywhere.
When King Zhongshun saw that the test had been completed, he immediately came up and asked, "Sir, how is it? Is it true that Li Changshi could not bear the punishment and died here in the end?"
Sun Yan just smiled and did not answer King Zhongshun, and then said to his subordinates: "Now that we have finished our work, let's go back. I still want to report to the emperor."
After saying this, he ignored King Zhongshun and left the palace directly.
Seeing this situation, King Zhongshun already knew that the matter had been exposed. Now he felt regretful, shocked, and somewhat hopeful.
What I regret is that I was confused for a moment and actually took the life of Chang Shi. I am shocked that if the matter is exposed, what will the emperor do to him? How will Jia Ke retaliate against him? But the last glimmer of hope is that the emperor will take care of his mother.
For the sake of raising him, I let myself go. It would be better if I saw Jia Ke's threat to the throne and could even help me give Jia Ke some color.
