Chapter 2182 1858. Formal trial
Chapter 2182 1858. Formal Judgment
"I'm sorry for you and the kids..."
Su Quandang's eyes became a little complicated at this moment.
When he tried hard to attack Kaifeng Prefecture, he had already thought about all the consequences. He even thought that he would be killed by Kong Yuanzhou or sentenced to death by the court.
Of course, he also thought about Zhou Qianluo and the child. He knew that if he died, Zhou Qianluo would definitely be very sad, but at that time he thought that sadness would always pass. With his uncle taking care of him, Zhou Qianluo and the child would definitely have no worries in the future.
But at this moment, looking at Zhou Qianluo's pear blossoms with rain, he could not help but feel some regret in his heart. The guilt was even deeper.
Zhou Qianluo was deeply in love with him, and Su Quandang knew it very well. Since she married into the Su family, the two of them were together for a long time, and he really did not fulfill his responsibilities as his husband.
Su Quandang barely deserves the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the Shenxian Ridge. He can bear the guilt when facing the Su family, but he really owe too much to Zhou Qianluo and his children.
He continued, "If I can still keep this life and freedom, I will concentrate on taking care of you and your children from now on."
Zhou Qianluo nodded slightly, and did not speak anymore, her eyes were still full of worries.
The next morning.
Before Su Liuyi could go to the yamen, the Ministry of Law and Law of the Military Affairs Bureau brought official documents to Su Mansion.
When the servants led them into the door and saw Su Liuyi in the main hall, they were very respectful. If they were only respectful, they would naturally have to do business.
They came with official documents to take Su Quandang to the Military Academy for trial. To put it bluntly, they should be "obstructed".
That is, Su Quandang was a marshal before, and most people knew the inside story. Besides, Su Liuyi had just retreated to the second line, so he was so polite because of these tolerances.
Su Liuyi's face was not very good-looking, but he was mentally prepared and did not get angry with these tolerances. He only asked his servants to call Su Quandang.
Soon, Su Quandang was supported by Zhou Qianluo and walked to the main hall.
Even though he had a foundation in martial arts cultivation, he could not recover so quickly. Although he could barely walk, his face was still pale.
The members of the Law Department were surprised to see his appearance, and then bowed to Su Quandang. The head officer shouted: "Su Shuai."
Su Quandang smiled, "You are polite, Su is guilty and can no longer be called Su Shuai."
It looks very open-minded.
The head conscript smiled embarrassedly and said, "We are ordered to invite Su Shuai to the Military and Jiji Law Department."
"Um."
Su Quandang nodded, "I'm working hard."
After saying that, he turned his head and nodded at Zhou Qianluo.
Seeing his weak look, Su Liuyi finally felt a little reluctant and shouted to the outside: "Go and prepare the carriage."
Su Quandang turned around and smiled at Su Liuyi.
Afterwards, Zhou Qianluo helped the conscripts walk outside.
Su Liuyi hesitated for a while and said, "I'll go with you too!"
He is now the honorary deputy cabinet leader of the Military Machinery Cabinet and does not work in the Military Machinery Province Office. He is obviously worried and wants to go and take a look.
When we arrived at the gate of Su Mansion, there were already carriages waiting.
The toll members had horses, and the group went to the Military Academy.
The Military Academy is located on the street in front of the palace, not far from the Su Mansion. The Law Department is only a department under the Military Academy, so it is naturally also in the Military Academy.
On the way, Su Liuyi thought about it and asked Su Quandang: "According to my estimate, when you arrive at the Law Department, they will carefully interrogate why you sent troops to attack Kaifeng Prefecture. How to reply, I think you know what to do. The emperor has said that it will save your life, but you also want the emperor..."
"I know."
Su Quandang responded without waiting for Su Liuyi to finish his words.
He has been immersed in the army for many years, so naturally he will not even understand this truth.
The world is the emperor's world, but the emperor also needs to take into account the public's opinion. It can even be said that the emperor is the most unfair person to take the blame for the world.
Go to the gate of the Military Academy.
Zhou Qianluo helped Su Quandang to get out of the car behind Su Liuyi. The guards at the door were surprised to see Su Liuyi and quickly saluted, "I have seen Lord Su."
Then when I saw Su Quandang, my eyes became strange.
"Mr. Su Shuai, please."
The Torah officials were still kind and asked them to come in.
But after I arrived at the "Judgement Court" in the Law Department, the atmosphere suddenly became much more solemn.
There are many such courts in the legal departments at all levels of the Song Dynasty, with independent legal departments, but the atmosphere is as solemn as in the military affairs department, not many.
No matter what happens in the army, it always seems solemn and strict.
There were already officials of the Law Division sitting on the trial table.
Su Quandang's identity is so amazing that the officials who can judge him on the trial stand will naturally not be simple characters.
There are a total of six judges on the stage. Originally, the head of the Military Affairs Department of Law could only serve in the most marginal position. The deputy position was not even qualified to appear.
Su Liuyi should have appeared here, just because he is Su Quandang's biological uncle, so he naturally needs to avoid suspicion.
Seeing them coming in, the officials on the stage nodded slightly to Su Liuyi and Su Quandang.
Actually, they are all old friends.
The judges on the stage include the Ministry of Law or Military Affairs, as well as the retired former deputy military affairs order Zhang Jue. The current Minister of War Zhong Jian.
"Ship Su, please."
The tolerance who took Su Quandang into the house said to Su Quandang, and then led Su Quandang to the defendant's dock under the trial table.
Because of Zhao Dongting's time travel, the architectural style of the Song Dynasty now has many different places from before. The division of labor in the yamen is clear, and the architectural style is also very different from before.
Now, almost all yamen at all levels in the Song Dynasty were built according to the plan issued by Zhao Dongting. Just like all military regions, they are almost the same as those in later generations.
Zhou Qianluo helped Su Quan to sit down at the defendant's dock, then walked to the auditor's dock and sat next to Su Liuyi.
Apart from them, no one else listened.
"Is Su Quandang under the seat?"
The official in charge of the trial today is nothing else, but Wang Wenfu, the current dynasty’s order to prosecute. He looked at Su Quan and said.
Su Quandang nodded, "Yes."
Wang Wenfu opened the file on the table and slowly said, "Today, I will examine your private attack on Kaifeng Prefecture with troops. I hope you can cooperate and not do anything to conceal or deny it."
"yes……"
Su Quandang nodded again.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Wenfu began the interrogation.
Of course, this is just a formality. Wang Wenfu and the others are very clear about why Su Quandang sent troops to attack Kaifeng Prefecture and how to operate it in the middle.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the interrogation of Su Quandang was over.
Wang Wenfu announced the end of the trial and asked Su Quandang to go back and wait for the defeat. Then the judges walked out and had no intention of discussing how to convict Su Quandang.
Because of this, Zhao Dongting has also given them a clear decree.
Chapter completed!
