Chapter 660 Congratulations to Mr. Zhao
“According to our inspection, the heads presented by Zhao Daying were all Tatar heads. The people Zhao Daying killed were barbarian Tatars, not our people of the Ming Dynasty. From this point on, the case becomes clear: Zhu Pingan impeached Zhao Da. In the case of killing Liang and taking merit, this court has verified that there is no real evidence for the impeachment of Zhu Pingan..."
Just after Liu Dadao and the others' interlude, Wang Xueyi, the Minister of Punishment, cleared his throat and gave this time The Ministry of Punishment’s submission came to a qualitative conclusion.
"Your Excellency, you are so perceptive that you will know everything in this world..."
Hearing this, Zhao Daying was overjoyed. He grinned and couldn't help but smile. He clasped his hands and complimented Wang Xueyi repeatedly in the courtroom.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhao for regaining his innocence."
"Since ancient times, evil will never prevail against good, and Mr. Zhao has proved this truth again."
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhao. Just now, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang were talking to me. Your Excellency and your colleagues have made an appointment to hold a banquet in Nanchang tonight Pavilion, cleanse Mr. Zhao and get rid of bad luck."
At the same time, many military attachés in the auditorium also stood up and congratulated Zhao Daying on his innocence, and they arranged a cleansing banquet while everyone was chatting and laughing. , and even arranged to call a few famous actors and courtesans to add to the fun.
Zhu Ping'an looked at Zhao Daying and others who couldn't wait to celebrate, and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
This feeling of Zhao Daying and others is very familiar, and there are many examples in history.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Qinggong, who was killed by Yu Gujian and went to court for food; during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Fu Jian threw a whip at the foot of the river to cut off its flow; during World War II, Hitler promised the soldiers to spend Christmas in Moscow.
What’s the result?
Hehe
Reality will always catch them off guard.
That day, Qi Qinggong was defeated, and he was almost captured; that day, Fu Jian's army was defeated like a mountain, and the wind roared, and the trees and grass were all in pieces, and he also died without realizing his great ambition; that day, Hitler was at the gate of Moscow His head was bruised and bleeding, and he died in the basement.
Now it's your turn, Zhao Daying
"Sir, I have a few questions that I would like to ask you for advice."
Zhu Ping'an learned from Zhao Daying and others He withdrew his gaze and turned to face the court's presiding judge. His dark eyes were shining with light, as eye-catching as burning flames, and the corners of his mouth curved.
Huh?
What? Do you have another question? Why do you have so many questions? !
Zhu Ping'an's words made Zhao Daying and others very unhappy. This is irrefutable evidence. Why do you still ask questions? You are so sick! !
"Zhu Pingan, now that the evidence is irrefutable, do you still want to deny it?" Zhao Daying looked at Zhu Pingan with a gloomy look, and asked sternly with an aggressive look on his face.
"Since the proof is irrefutable, what's wrong with me, Zhu Ping'an, asking a few more questions? Besides, Mr. Wang just asked for our opinions, why are you anxious? Why, your family is the one who opened the court?" ?" Zhu Pingan asked calmly.
“That’s nonsense!” Zhao Daying was angry.
"Zhu Pingan, if you have any questions, just ask them. You can't help but speak in court. Zhao Daying, if you have any questions, you can also come to this court." Wan Gong, the minister of Dali Temple, swept away Zhu Pingan and Zhao Daying. He glanced at it and said expressionlessly.
After finishing speaking, Wan Gong glanced in the direction of Xu Jie from the corner of his eye, and then set his sights on Zhu Pingan.
Wan Gong was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing reign. At that time, Xu Jie was still the head of the Hanlin Academy. At that time, Xu Jie had a lot of support for talented juniors, and he appreciated Wan Gong quite a lot and encouraged him a lot. Taking care of her can be regarded as a teacher and friend relationship for Wan Gong.
In Wangong's second year as an official, King Shou passed away in Nanjing, and the eunuch wanted to order the princess to go to court. Wan Gong scolded him: "If you don't show courtesy to the queen, what's wrong with the concubine!", thus offending the eunuch. Fortunately, thanks to Xu Jie's intervention, Wan Gong was able to turn danger into safety and gain fame.
So this time, Zhu Ping'an was in Xu Jie's favor.
Wan Gong was one of the presiding judges, and it was reasonable to allow Zhu Pingan to ask questions. After he nodded, the other presiding judges did not speak out. Although Wang Xueyi looked a little unhappy, he didn't say anything and acquiesced.
"Thank you, sir."
Zhu Pingan thanked Wan Gong with his hands.
After thanking him, Zhu Pingan slowly came to the two widowers and looked directly at them with burning eyes.
The two men looked at Zhu Pingan's eyes and felt as if they were being stared at by a tiger. They felt a little uneasy. Their eyes flickered and they saluted Zhu Pingan, not daring to look at Zhu Pingan.
"Don't be nervous, my question is very simple. Were these heads obtained last year?" Zhu Pingan asked calmly.
When the two men heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. The question was simple and it was enough to answer it truthfully, so the two of them felt no pressure at all when answering. They nodded affirmatively and said, "Report to your lord, these are all The heads were all obtained last year, sir. It can be seen that the knife marks on the neck and the texture of the heads have turned into wax, but the tendons and meridians are still strong. According to Song Cigong's "Resolution of Wrongs", it can be seen that these heads were harvested within half a year to a year. "
"Are you sure?" Zhu Pingan looked at the two of them and asked.
"I am willing to pledge my head as a guarantee." The two gangsters replied without hesitation.
Well, I didn’t lie.
Zhu Ping'an had been observing them. When they heard his question, they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. When answering the question, their facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language showed no trace of lying.
Judging from the nervous behavior of the two gangsters just now, if they lied, they would not escape their own eyes.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan nodded, feeling more confident and his brows relaxed a bit. As long as these heads are harvested within this year.
What is the problem?
Everyone was confused and didn't understand why Zhu Pingan would ask this question. In their opinion, Zhu Pingan's question was completely irrelevant to this case.
Zhao Qiu, Zhao Daying and other insiders couldn't help but look at Zhu Ping'an with disdain. They thought you, Zhu Ping'an, were asking some question. Turns out that's what you were asking. We worried for nothing and thought you were asking some tricky questions.
Do you think we are stupid? It is easy to tell the year of the head. Whether it is quicklime or plant ash, the effect of preserving the head is not absolute. It will be greatly compromised in the face of time. Shrinking, Rotting, deterioration, etc. are inevitable, and they look the same every year. People with a little experience can easily distinguish heads of one, two, and three years. Therefore, to be on the safe side, they naturally replaced it with this year's first level.
Anyway, there are enough replacements for this year’s head and criminal department, so why take the risk.
So, Zhao Daying and others were not worried at all when they heard Zhu Ping'an's question. Because these heads were originally obtained last year.
"Master Zhao, could you please confirm that these heads were your harvest last year?" Zhu Pingan turned to look at Zhao Daying beside him, and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Hearing this, Zhao Daying looked at Zhu Pingan as if he were an idiot.
If there were other questions, Zhao Daying would think about it. As for the question asked by Zhu Ping'an, Zhao Daying didn't even have to think about it and replied with certainty, "Of course I won it." "
" Mr. Zhao, are you sure?" Zhu Pingan asked.
"Of course I am sure that each of these heads was harvested by me personally. How can I admit my mistake." Zhao Daying sneered and replied with a haughty look. (End of chapter)
