Not only did Da Tou think of this, but Da Tou and others also discovered that someone was causing trouble secretly. Da Tou leaned close to him and whispered, "My lord, something is wrong. It seems that someone is causing trouble secretly."

After finishing speaking, Yu Yi said, "It's not like it seems, but it's certain. Moreover, this person is proficient in the criminal law of the Tang Dynasty. He knows that these people have death-avoidance elixirs given by the emperor, so he decides that they are not exempt from death."

The felony of rebellion."

Hearing the words of the two men, he frowned and nodded. The ancients said that looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face, to put it bluntly, is to beat the dog and deceive the master. These veterans were brought back from the Western Regions, but now they are convicted and executed. This is obvious.

Coming for him.

He didn't expect that only two months after he left Chang'an, someone would be causing trouble secretly. Since he offended many people when he was in charge of Yushitai, he couldn't be sure who was behind it for a while.

"Could someone be turning a deaf ear?" Big Head asked in a low voice.

Although Da Tou didn't say it clearly, he knew that he was referring to Concubine Li. Everyone in our party knew that there was a female spy sent by the Japanese pirates in the harem. This person was most likely the favored Concubine Li, and she was already there when everyone left Chang'an.

Got pregnant.

After a brief pause, he frowned and shook his head, "No, he's not that confused yet."

While several people were chatting in low voices, the leading supervisor came over cautiously and carefully handed back the official seals of Datou and others to the four of them.

At this moment, the school captain who had previously left on horseback rode back and brought back the relevant files on the case.

I used to work as a censor, and I read too many files. After opening the files, I first read the interrogation confessions, then who was in court, and finally the instructions at all levels. .??.

There is a common misunderstanding in the world that county magistrates can convict people of murder. In fact, this is not the case. All death sentences must be reported step by step and finally approved by the Ministry of Punishment. Without the approval of the Ministry of Punishment, local officials cannot kill people.

Yushitai and Dali Temple are not subject to this restriction, because Yushitai and Dali Temple themselves are law offices parallel to the Ministry of Punishment, and can investigate cases, convict, and execute punishments on their own.

There is no problem with the confessions given in court, and the facts are also very simple. The youngest of these veterans is in their fifties. As people get older, they like to squat on the wall and chat about home affairs. Moreover, they have just returned to their place of origin.

They were completely unprepared and did not shy away from speaking. When the villagers squatting together by the wall heard them discussing the current situation, they secretly reported the matter to the government. And these veterans indeed said that the Tang Dynasty was now different from what it used to be.

In other words, in addition to their own confessions, the witness statements are also very complete.

While checking the file, Yu Yi was also reading it. When he saw the key points, he turned to look at the veterans, "Did they abuse the criminal law during the trial?

Subdued and defeated?"

"No, they didn't torture us," a veteran replied. After this person finished speaking, the rest of the people nodded in agreement. At the same time, some people shouted injustice, "But they deceived us. They only thought that we were meritorious officials. As long as they tell the truth,

If we confess, we will be allowed to go home."

"Are you really sincere? Do you believe what they say?" Datou glanced at the speaker angrily, then turned to ask seriously, "I'll ask you again, have they ever used it on you?

punishment?"

These veterans are all rough people, and because they are old and have poor brains, they can't hear what Big Tou is saying. When he hears his questions, they all shake their heads and say no.

"I wasn't beaten when I was in court, nor was I beaten during detention? Think about it before you answer." Datou hinted again.

A group of veterans didn't know why, and they all told the truth, "I haven't fought before, I really haven't fought before."

Da Tou didn't know what to do, he just looked at them angrily and stopped asking questions.

At this time, what we are looking at are the officials who have passed the court and the approval documents at all levels. This matter is handled by the county. County officials are a very broad title. All officials with high grades in the county government can be called county officials, but not everyone

Every county official has the power to go to court. Only the first-ranking county magistrate and the second-ranking county magistrate are qualified to go to court for questioning. The case is brought to court by the county magistrate. After the case is brought to court, it is reported step by step to the Ministry of Punishment. There are no missing steps.

Can't fault anything.

Since these veterans had death-avoidance elixirs, after the case was reported to the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Punishment did not make the decision exclusively, but reported it to the Shangshu Province in accordance with the provisions of criminal law.

The Shangshu Province thought the matter was of great importance and did not dare to make any decision, so he immediately reported it to the Menxia Province. The execution of the seven people was approved by the Menxia Province.

As soon as I saw the official seal of Menxia Province, I suddenly realized that after I resigned and left Beijing, the emperor probably re-activated Qian Zhonglin, the minister of Menxia Province.

On that day, Qian Zhonglin tried to harm everyone in his own party and directly killed a group of Yu Yi's disciples. Afterwards, he came to the door and beat Qian Zhonglin half to death. The matter became serious and alarmed the emperor. As the leader of Qingliu, Qian Zhonglin

The emperor was unable to remove him from office and investigate, so in the end he could only be punished with 80 bans each. He was fined one year's salary, while Qian Zhonglin was fined one year at home to live in isolation.

Calculated according to the time when the incident occurred, Qian Zhonglin had been at home thinking about his past for less than a year, but it was already the New Year's Eve and it was considered a new year. It was not impossible for the emperor to use Qian Zhonglin.

After reading the dossier, Yu Yi also read it

It's over, I understand what's going on, and Yu Yi also understands. When he thinks of the miserable end of everyone in Shifang'an, Yu Yi is furious. He doesn't care that the prison officer and government soldiers are nearby, and glares angrily, "I'll go back

Kill this old..."

"Huh?" He frowned and raised his hand to stop Yu Yi from continuing, and turned to the seven veterans and said, "You all go home first, and leave this matter to me."

The veterans were overjoyed to have escaped death. They were grateful for their protection and protection. They knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed to express their thanks.

Seeing that these death row prisoners were about to be released, the prison officer became anxious and said, "Your Majesty, this, this, this..."

"Fuck," Datou said anxiously, "I think you've really had enough."

The local officials all knew that there was a ferocious dwarf around them. Although they had never met Da Tou himself, they had all heard of his methods. The supervisor had no doubt that Da Tou would kill him on the spot. When he heard him speak, his face turned pale with fear.

Dare not make a sound.

It was the prince. Datou knew that there were some things he was not comfortable saying, so he waved his hand to the supervisor and others and said, "We will deal with this matter and won't make it difficult for you. You can go back first."

Hearing what Datou said, the supervisor and others could only lead everyone to leave. One person fainted on the stage and they were carried away together. In fact, the fainted one had woken up early and was just pretending to be fainted, because at this time, being awake would be worse than being fainted.

With.

The released veterans did not leave. Seeing what was going on here, they warmly invited the others to come and be their guests. At this time, they were full of anger and worry, and how could they be in the mood to go and be their guests? They managed to calm themselves down with a few words, and then urged them

Go back as soon as possible.

After these veterans left with great gratitude, the others went to the edge of the forest in the east of the city to rest for a while.

We originally planned to hide our whereabouts and go to the dense forests of the Northeast. A sudden change completely disrupted our plan. Datou was the first to speak, "Your Majesty, Qian Zhonglin has probably been reinstated."

"He was never removed from office." He corrected casually.

"How old is that old coffin man? Why does the emperor still use him?" Datou sighed angrily.

"Because he is loyal to the emperor and poses no threat to the emperor." He said that they hated Qian Zhonglin to the extreme, but the emperor did not hate this person because he was the leader of Qingliu and held a high position of authority.

When the eunuchs took power, Qian Zhonglin always stood firmly on the emperor's side.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 300 old soldiers you brought back from the Western Regions that day," Yu Yi said in a deep voice. "These people have been away from home for decades and have little understanding of the current situation in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, they rarely follow the people in the desert.

Dealing with people, after returning home

It's easy to do something wrong, and I'm worried that that old guy will instruct local governments to frame him maliciously."

"What you said is exactly what I'm worried about," he said. "If he wanted to embarrass me, he would never attack just these seven people, and he wouldn't let the others go either."

As the supervisory censor of the Yushitai, Datou also knows the law very well, "This is what we do. To put it bluntly, who do we want to kill? Isn't it hard to find a reason?"

Without waiting for an answer, Datou said again, "Your Majesty, you brought those veterans back. Qian Zhonglin made it clear that they came for you. Maybe he has killed a lot of those veterans."

"Oh, okay, okay, don't add fuel to the fire." Shi Xuanming said.

"Tsk, is it fun to deceive yourself?" Big head glared, "We just came back from the East China Sea, and no one knew that we were going to pass through Shenzhou, so today's matter must not have been prepared by them in advance, we just happened to meet it. This is

If we have met, there must be others we have not met."

"What do you think?" Ask for everyone's opinions.

Everyone understood what he meant, whether to continue heading north to look for Yin Hu and Chou Niu, or to return to Chang'an and settle the matter.

"Damn it, you can't do the right thing. Adding trouble is just a waste of time," Da Tou angrily cursed, "Go back, otherwise you won't have the time to do anything and you'll be thinking about it all day long."

After the leader finished speaking, Yu Yi answered, "What I mean is that the troops are divided into two groups. We finally got the upper hand. If we go to Chang'an, we will miss the chance of fighting. You continue to go north, and I will go back."

"No, it's not safe for you to go back by yourself." Datou shook his head and objected, then turned to look at Shi Xuanming, "Real man, what do you mean?"

"I listen to you." Shi Xuanming said casually.

Da Tou looked at Yang Kai again, "Yang Kai, what about you, don't pretend to be dumb."

"I have to go back," Yang Kai said sternly, "I was also present on the night when the prince had an affair with him. Listening to this person's words, he seemed to be quite hostile to the prince and Zhenren Zhang. I always thought that the prince would join forces with Zhenren Zhang to rebel. This person is very

It may have been reactivated by the imperial court. I suspect that the money and food from the Ministry of Revenue has been misappropriated by this person for other purposes, aiming to reduce military supplies and contain Zhang Zhenren's 100,000 troops."

After Yang Kai finished speaking, he frowned. He had not connected these two things together before. After thinking about it carefully, what Yang Kai said was indeed reasonable. However, if Qian Zhonglin really did this, it would not be to share your worries, but to share your worries.

Destroyed the Great Wall.
