Chapter 696: King of Jin decides the case

Zhao Ji came out of Dali Temple with an unhappy face, sat in an airtight sedan chair, and put on plain clothes. The palace servants surrounded him and walked towards the palace city.

Yang Jian jogged in the sedan chair, but he was worried. Finally, His Majesty gave Chen Ao a chance. Chen Ao did not accept this love, and this lawsuit would really win. Who would know if the Zheng family and Li Bangyan would still have a backup plan? Chen Ao is so stupid. He was still stunned at this point, and it would be too late to regret it.

While thinking about it, Zhao Ji in the sedan chair said, "Did the assassins be tried today?"

Yang Jian immediately ran to the curtain of the sedan chair and said, "You... Your Majesty, the trial has almost begun."

Zhao Ji, who was shaking in the sedan chair, said, "When is it now?"

Yang Jian looked at the sky and said, "It's been three minutes."

Zhao Ji said: "It's not too late. Come and go to Zongling Mansion. I want to see how my emperor brother tried the case."

Yang Jian couldn't help but complain, "What's so good about the King of Jin's case? I can't say that the King of Jin is going to cause madness again, which made His Majesty unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's not too early, and Zong Ling's Mansion is far away from here."

Zhao Ji in the sedan chair interrupted him: "I just go and check it out and go back, don't worry."

Yang Jian had no choice but to let the guards carrying the sedan chair turn the direction and go to Zongling Mansion again.

Zongling Mansion is an institution that manages the royal family. Princes, princes, princes, princes, princes, and some royal relatives are all within the jurisdiction. However, this yamen is so terrifying that even the princes are subject to their jurisdiction. In fact, it is just an empty ambition. Who would be willing to offend the royal relatives? Therefore, when Taizu was there, although many laws and regulations were issued by the Zongling Mansion and the rules that royal relatives had to follow, unfortunately, they were very few of them. Zongling Mansion never cared about it and was too lazy to pay attention to it.

But then again, Zong Lingfu was lazy in the word "Guan", but another job was very diligent, that is, the monthly salary and rewards of the royal relatives were paid on time, and he did not dare to slack off at all. Sometimes, some family forgot to send people to take charge, and the mansion also sent people to send them there.

Therefore, this sect's decree is more like the money bags of the royal relatives, especially for some princes and dukes who do not serve in the court, they will be hungry if they lack this salary. Therefore, this sect's decree is always harmonious, and anyone who meets them will have a smile on their faces. As for dealing with the royal relatives, filing cases and litigation, it is almost a long time.

Today, it was rare to be serious. Hundreds of imperial guards had three steps, one post, five steps, and a whistle. There were so many people watching the fun on the corridor outside the hall. Originally, ordinary people were not allowed to enter Zongling's Mansion, but the King of Jin was so lively that someone would come to see the ordinary yamen to make a case, and Zongling's Mansion was no exception. When the news came out, many people came to visit, and in an instant, there were crowds of people. After all, there were many idle people at the foot of the emperor, and he was free and he was fine. Of course, he paid attention to the most amazing event in Bianjing.

After the case, Zhao Zong was majestic. One of the ones sitting on both sides of him was the right assistant minister sent by the Ministry of Justice, whose surname was Qi and whose name was Tai. Qi Tai was born with a judge's face, and he looked solemn and meticulous, like a wooden dunzi, motionless. Not only was he a wooden dunzi, but even a deputy judge sitting on his left hand. This was the young minister of Dali Temple, whose surname was Wen Bai. Although Lord Wen had a harmonious face, he did not say a word and did not move.

The most dynamic was naturally King Zhao Zong of Jin. Zhao Zong not only did not have his hands idle, but he kept slapping the goblin, and even his legs were erected. The legs on his head were still shaking and shaking, which was extremely appreciating. His expression was very rich, he sneered and suddenly looked stern, and the next moment, he roared again and shouted: "Random!"

This loud shout immediately caused a cheer, and the people outside watched the fun. When they heard that the Prince of Jin was full of energy, they were better than listening to the opera, so they let go of their throats and cheered.

If it were someone else, he would have been a little embarrassed. However, Zhao Zong was thick-skinned. When he heard someone applauding, he became more energetic. The gavel slapped again and said to the person who knelt on the ground, "Bold, do you think I am a three-year-old child? No one ordered me, who gave you the knife, why did you break into the Pingxi Palace together? Let me tell you the truth. If you answered, you will be left with your whole body. If you don't honestly explain, it will be a family that will be raided and destroyed. If you don't honestly reply to me, I will teach you that you will not be able to survive or die."

The two Dali Temples and the Ministry of Justice sitting on both sides smiled bitterly in their hearts, thinking, there is no such thing in the world who asks cases. How can a criminal like this be tried together? It should be separated, so that it can prevent extortion from happening. What's more, what's the use of such a poor roar? These people are all desperate people, and they have to beat them first and establish their power, and they can ask clearly any inside story. However, although they don't agree with it in their hearts, the King of Jin likes this, and they have no choice, and they dare not disturb the King of Jin's interest.

The criminals below were all submissive and called for injustice, but none of them were willing to confess.

Zhao Zong was already very angry and said, "Are you looking for death? Take down all the people you come here and behead them!"

The servants looked at me and I looked at you, but at this time they were at a loss. They were all transferred from the Ministry of Justice, but there was no such rule when asking about the case. Then I asked a few questions, how could I kill you just by saying it? Why is it like acting?

At this time, the Shaoqing Wenbai from Dali Temple could not sit still, coughed, and said, "Your Highness, you can't kill me now, let's ask about the case first."

Zhao Zong also woke up at this time, and it was difficult to change his words. His lips trembled, like a deflated ball. The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice Qi Tai said, "Your Highness, didn't you send a servant to find the identities of these criminals yesterday? Why not call the people sent out yesterday to ask."

Zhao Zong said with a little embarrassed expression: "Call it quickly."

Qi Tai whispered a few words to Ai Si around him, and Ai Si went immediately. After a while, everyone came in and saluted Zhao Zong, saying, "Your Highness, the villain has brought his personal certificate."

The so-called witness was just an old man in his sixties. The old man came in with a crutch slightly trembling and said intermittently: "I have seen His Highness the King of Jin."

Zhao Zong asked, "Who do you know from the people here?"

The old man didn't say anything, his gray eyes looked at the criminal kneeling on the ground, pointing to one of them and said, "The villain recognizes him. His name is Li Maocai. He occasionally sells wine in the villain's shop. The villain only heard that he is doing things in the Zheng family, and he doesn't know what he does."

Zhao Zong cheered up: "Which Zheng family?"

The old man couldn't help but say, "How many Zheng families can there be in Bianjing?"

Qi Tai asked, "Is it the Duke of Zheng?"

The old man said: "That's right."

Qi Tai didn't dare to speak anymore, and he caught up with Duke Zheng. On the other side was King Pingxi again. Neither of these two families could afford to offend them, so it would be better to ask King Jin to ask.

Zhao Zong was not polite and laughed and said, "Look at how you still deny it. You are instructed by the Zheng family, right? Humph, you can't hide it, and you don't see where this is. Since you have brought you here, do you still want to resist stubbornly?"

Zheng Wu was kneeling in front of him. Zheng Wu just snorted coldly and said nothing, and the people behind him were silent.

Zhao Zong was furious and said, "Come on, pull down and fight!"

The case was so late, and although I had some clues, I still had no idea. Even if I was doing things in the Zheng family, I couldn't be sure that it was the commander of the Zheng family. All the criminals were dragged down, and Zhao Zong seemed a little bored and said impatiently: "Forget it, forgot, let's finish this today, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Qi Tai and Wen Bai both smiled bitterly in their hearts, and had to stand up and bow to Zhao Zong: "Why not have your best friend..."

Zhao Zong looked stern and said, "What are you saying? I am tired. Are you trying to trouble someone or to trouble me? I will say no to judge and withdraw!"

There was nothing to say when you bumped into such a person. Qi Tai and Wen were quick to get their legs and feet. They bowed their hands and immediately took the people to a ear room to check the files.

Zhao Zong stretched out and saw the crowd dispersing, but he was laughing in his heart. Of course, the trial was to be tried, but to be heard until the truth was revealed, there was still a suitable opportunity. What's the use of reviewing so early? Just as the empress dowager secretly instructed him, it was useful to review the results at the most appropriate time.

He looked lazy and retreated to the back hall, took a sip of tea happily, and murmured: "Everyone thinks I am crazy, but in my heart, you are fools and fools."

After a while, Wen Bai took a copy of the case that he had just asked for Zhao Zong. Zhao Zong looked at it casually and said impatiently: "That's right, this is the general question. Come to the Secretariat immediately to back up. We will review it tomorrow. Lord Wen must remember to come earlier."

Wen Bai said: "Then the official will say goodbye."

As he was speaking, someone hurried over outside and said, "Your Highness... Your Highness... Your Highness is here!"

Zhao Zong was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you saying that my king's prince is here?"

The man came and said, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty told us not to speak, and he would come immediately and have something to say to His Highness."

Zhao Zong nodded and said with a sneer: "The emperor's brother is hard to leave the palace. It turns out that he is just watching the king's case trial." As he was smiling, Zhao Ji had already stepped in and said with a hand: "How is the case in Pingxi Prince's Mansion interrogation?"

Zhao Zong stood up, slandered at Zhao Ji, and said with a smile: "The emperor's brother came by coincidence, haha, if a minister takes action, it's natural... it's no problem."

Zhao Ji smiled at Zhao Zong, asked Zhao Zong to sit down, and sat on the chair himself, saying, "This case has a great relationship, you must carefully examine it. I came here because I have something to explain to you."

Zhao Zong said: "Please make clear statement from the emperor."
