Chapter 10 Twist and twists
Zhang Juzheng stood in front of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. Standing next to him was Cifu Lu Tiaoyang, and behind them stood everyone from Sanfasi.
Courtiers such as Ge Shouli, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Wang Zhigao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Youzi, Luo Fengxiang, the left and right ministers of Dali Temple, Zhu Xixiao, the commander of the imperial guards behind the Ming Dynasty, and Feng Bao, the governor of Dongchang, together formed the This time, the three judicial divisions held a joint trial.
The Ministry of Punishment receives punishments from all over the world, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for picketing, the Dali Temple is responsible for refutation, and the three judicial departments gather together.
In order to specially welcome the emperor's arrival, the Fusi Yamen of Jinyiwei North Town carried out an unprecedented cleaning. The windows were bright and clean, and even the corners of the walls were brushed with pig hair brushes and sandalwood was lit. This should have been eerie. The yamen finally became a little brighter.
Zhu Yijun is sitting in the back hall of the yamen. He is the emperor. If he is in the front hall, he has to sit in the middle. Who will judge the case?
The criminal Wang Zhanglong was taken out from the jail, and two Senten Qianhu, who were wearing red robes and flying fish suits, were responsible for escorting him. Even after he was sent to the court, the two Senten Qianhu were still holding him down. The shackled criminal did not dare to relax.
Tishuai Zhu Xixiao has only one request: nothing should happen to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.
"Pa! The criminal Wang Zhanglong, quickly recruit him. Who instructed you to go to Qianqing Palace to assassinate?!" Zhu Xixiao is a court official. This is the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. Naturally, he is responsible for presiding over the case. Zhu Xixiao Xiaoyi clapped his hands in shock, and shouted in a majestic voice.
Wang Zhanglong knelt on the ground, seemingly frightened by the gavel, and said tremblingly: "Tishuai, the common people just came into the palace to steal something. If there is no assassination, please Tishuai carefully observe. ”
"Bring in the physical evidence!" Zhu Xixiao shouted loudly.
Two knives, one long and one short, used by Wang Zhanglong in his assassination were presented. The short one was the dagger used to stab the emperor, and the long one was the ring-head knife used to cut Zhang Hong. They were extremely sharp.
A bed board on the emperor's dragon bed was replaced, and there was a mark of a hole inserted by a dagger. After Zhu Yijun got up, Zhang Hong asked Zhang Jing to take someone to remove the bed board and replace it with a new one. , was sent to the Yamen of the Sanfa Division as physical evidence.
Zhu Xixiao sneered and said: "You brought the murder weapon into the palace and went straight to Qianqing Palace. When the internal official Zhang Hong arrested you, I was personally present. Where are the properties you stole? You can't say that the things in Qianqing Palace are , you don’t even think about it! You dare to quibble when you have the irrefutable evidence!"
Wang Zhanglong rolled his eyes, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The grass people are soldiers of the Qi family army!"
"The common people were confused for a moment and believed what the bad guy said. It was the eunuchs in the palace who asked the common people to enter the palace to assassinate them. They said they wanted to scare the little emperor so that he could teach him how to be powerful."
"That's nonsense!" Zhu Xixiao He sneered and shouted: "Bring witnesses!"
Several witnesses were brought to the front of the hall one after another, identifying Wang Zhanglong, and perfectly profiled Wang Zhanglong's life as a slave in Beijing.
Wang Zhanglong is a gambler. He lost money in gambling and borrowed a lot of money from the gambling house. When the owner, shopkeeper and others of the gambling house came to testify in court, they were so frightened that they could not even stand still. Why was the Tiqi people caught and thrown into a prison for setting up a gambling den? !
The Tiqi did indeed lose a lot of power, but that was also in the court. In the eyes of the boss of the gambling house, the Tiqi were the direct guards of the emperor's squad and entered the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen. , even if you enter the heavenly prison, you will be punishing the great traitors of the Nine Clan.
Wang Zhanglong had to pay off his gambling debts, otherwise the debt collectors would block him. He originally wanted to castrate himself and enter the palace, but sold himself to get some money. After asking around, he found a way to enter the palace. He heard that there was something big going on. The deal was done.
Zhang Juzheng sat firmly. He had read the files. Tiqi was still so vigorous and relaxed when handling the case. However, every case he handled was an ironclad case. Every word Tiqi said was a matter of course. Spit hits the nail on the head.
During the Jiajing period, when Lu Bing was the commander-in-chief of Ti, the Tiqi of Fusi in Beizhen were so popular that even Dongchang had to avoid them, and they were deeply trusted by Emperor Jiajing.
Few people impeached Lu Bing for his power and frame-up. Even the group of public officials who liked to find faults could only say that Lu Bing was good at catering to his superiors.
As a secret service department of the emperor that specializes in doing dirty work, Lu Bing was only scolded for being pandering, which is already a very high praise.
There are seventeen Jinyiwei, one with a full capacity of 1,120 people, and a total of 19,040 Jinyiwei. The Fusi Jinyiwei in Beizhen who has detective powers is called Tiqi.
Tiqi only had 600 people at most, but they were always professional in handling cases and could be called sharp claws and sharp teeth.
Timing yellow is reserved exclusively for the emperor.
Tiqi's ability to handle cases is still there, but after Lu Bing's death, in just ten years, Tiqi's status has been deteriorating. Who can make eunuchs closer to the emperor.
Zhu Xixiao once again shocked the tiger and asked: "Who asked you to pretend to be a soldier of the Qi family army? Recruited truthfully, but if you make any more lies, you will be sentenced to death!"
Seeing that his identity was exposed, Wang Zhanglong knelt on the ground and cried and said: "It was Feng Bao and Feng Daxuan in the palace who asked me to say this! He asked me to pretend to be a soldier of the Qi family army, and then slandered Chen Hong. He promised me wealth. , saying that even if I am caught, Dongchang will deal with it and send me out when the time comes!"
"Tishuai, some Ming Gongs, it was really Feng Bao and Feng Daxuan who taught me to say this! ”
As soon as these words came out, several ministers talked and whispered among themselves.
Feng Bao did have a motive to give Qi Jiguang a shit basin.
Qi Jiguang was Zhang Juzheng's disciple. If Qi Jiguang was unlucky, Zhang Juzheng would also be unlucky.
Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng are indeed political allies, but Zhang Juzheng is first and foremost a civil servant, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and the chief assistant.
Gao Gong wanted to seize the power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. As the head of the civil service, Zhang Juzheng didn’t want to do that?
Feng Bao, as the big brother in the palace, took the opportunity to teach and beat Zhang Juzheng, and even forced Zhang Juzheng to investigate severely because of his relationship with Qi Jiajun, questioned his instructions, forced Zhang Juzheng to stand with the eunuchs, and finally forced Chen Juzheng to go with the eunuchs. Hong and Gao Gong were both involved.
Feng Bao did have the motive to do this, risking his own life and that of the little emperor in exchange for the death of Chen Hong and Gao Gong.
Zhu Yijun sat in the back hall and looked at Feng Bao. As he expected, there was indeed testimony against Feng Bao.
"I don't have the guts." Feng Bao remained calm and shook his head. The assassins didn't even succeed in the assassination. He almost got knocked to death before he managed to survive. If the emperor really died, he would be like a wild dog without his master and would only die. One share.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Hong and said: "Zhang Hong, go and tell him that you are Feng Daban and let him recognize you."
Zhang Hong took the order and walked out of the back hall, come When he arrived at the front hall, he shook his fly whisk and said in a low voice: "You are a scoundrel, you are biting randomly. When did our family say this to you?" Wang Zhanglong looked up and cried loudly: "Feng Daban, save me. ! Feng Daban promised me wealth, why is it different from what he said?"
Zhang Hong secretly thought it was a pity that Wang Zhanglong would have denied it, or said that he had never seen him. Throwing dirty water on Feng Bao, he shook his head and said: "Look at what our family is saying, when will your family become rich?"
"That's what my eldest companion said when he brought me into the palace yesterday." Wang Zhanglong He raised his head and still insisted that it was Feng Bao who gave the order.
Zhang Hong took a few steps forward, slowly squatted down, and said with a sneer: "Our family just put on the red robe yesterday. You did see our family yesterday. Our family arrested you yesterday. That official! Open your eyes and take a closer look!”
Wang Zhanglong then recognized that it was Zhang Hong who was under the dark light yesterday. Wang Zhanglong’s face changed drastically and he wanted to struggle. He pressed Wang Zhanglong tightly.
"Several ministers also saw it. This man is full of nonsense." Zhang Hong said no more and went back to the back hall.
“Why don’t you recruit them from the real thing?!” Zhu Xixiao asked again, shocking the tiger and waking up the wood.
Wang Zhanglong saw that his lie was exposed, so he chose to confess honestly. He only knew that the person in red robe was the eunuch, so he admitted his mistake.
Zhu Yijun narrowed his eyes and looked at Ge Shouli, the censor of Zuodu. Just now Zhang Hong came out of the back hall. Ge Shouli’s index and middle fingers were on the armrests of the Taishi chair, tapping unconsciously. After Wang Zhanglong admitted his mistake , Ge Shouli knocked faster.
The third rank of Zuodu Yushi, the head of the Kedao Yanguan, don’t even have this kind of self-cultivation?
Among the foreign ministers here, only Ge Shouli is from the Jin Party.
Chen Hong, Teng Xiang, Meng Chong and other eunuchs were also brought from Dongchang to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen for further interrogation.
"Chen Hong, you accuse Gao Gong, the former chief minister of the cabinet, who ordered you to do it?" Zhu Xixiao asked the question that everyone is most concerned about.
When Chen Hong was out of power, his life was not going smoothly. His cheeks were fleshless and his eye sockets were sunken. He knelt on the ground and said slightly weakly: "It was indeed Gao Gong who ordered us. We have evidence!”
“Don’t talk nonsense! Gao Gong was a minister of the country, he was responsible for maritime transportation, ordering border defenses, pacifying southern Yunnan, and conquering the Western Han Dynasty. How could you do this? "Bite!" Ge Shouli, the censor of Zuodu, slammed the table and shouted angrily. He pointed at Chen Hong, his eyes widened, and he was obviously furious.
Wang Zhigao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, pulled Ge Shouli and said, "Why is Mr. Ge so anxious? What if we look at his evidence?"
Chen Hongsi looked at Ge Shouli. He was so groveling before. Ge Shouli, who wanted to call Mr. Chen, now dared to rebuke him?
Chen Hong sneered, looked at Ge Shouli and said, "There is a handwritten letter from Gao Gong, which was sent to the palace from Caihuying. Our family recognizes his notes. It was sent to the palace by Gao Gong's family member Li Shi!"
"Our family is about to die, so there is no need to fight. Li Shi, a member of Gao Gong's family, is still in the capital. Capture him and you will know as soon as you ask."
"You group of arrogant ministers, relying on Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda, is taking advantage of Anda Khan’s business and embezzling it wantonly. None of you can escape!”
The feeling of losing power is worse than death. Since there is a chance, Chen Hong certainly wants it! After making a comeback, since the matter was revealed and he was dead, he was just a eunuch and only had a few adopted sons. What was he afraid of? Of course he wants to drag people into the water.
"Where is the handwriting?" Zhu Xixiao frowned. There was no mention of the handwriting or Li Shi in the case files from Dongchang.
Chen Hong then shook his head and said: "It is buried under the jujube tree behind the toilet of Langxia's house."
Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao, such a key piece of evidence, Feng Bao actually Don’t know?
Feng Bao said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Chen Hong entered the East Factory without saying a word and wanted to die. I also learned from Meng Chong and Teng Xiang that it was Gao Gong who ordered Chen Hong. Even if I die, I won’t allow you to do even half of the work. I dug three feet into the ground yesterday, but I didn’t have enough time to find any evidence.”
“I’m going to send someone to get the documentary evidence.”< br>
Chen Hong knew he would die, so how could he hand over the evidence to Feng Bao? Feng Bao failed to protect His Majesty and lost trust. How could Chen Hong let him do his job well?
"Liu Shouyou, bring two hundred cavalry to arrest Li Shi. Luo Bingliang, you come with Feng Dajuan to collect the documentary evidence." Zhu Xixiao hesitated for a moment, but still asked Luo Bingliang, who was sentenced to a thousand households, to follow Feng Bao to collect the documentary evidence. It would be easier. trouble.
"Will General Ge Xian go with you?" Second Assistant Lu Tiaoyang reminded Ge Shouli that the case was being handled by the outer court. The Jin Yiwei had gone, and the palace had gone. If Ge Shouli didn't go, Tiqi and Fan Zi teamed up to frame him, Gao Gong was going to be unlucky.
Lu Tiaoyang clasped his hands and suddenly asked: "Ge Zongxian didn't mention it, did he know that Gao Gong's family member Li Shi was still in the capital? Or did he know that this handwritten letter was indeed true?"
Ge Shouli stood up, shook his sleeves and said, "That's nonsense! I'll go with them!"
The documentary evidence was quickly retrieved, and the Ministry of Punishment, Beizhen Fusi, and Dongchang all kept it The person who appraised the handwriting, various forces began to appraise the handwritten notes.
Li Shi was captured before the sun set. There were road signs when entering the city. People who were not from the capital and where to seek refuge were all written on the road signs. The captain of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division specially had someone to check. After reviewing the situation and seeking refuge in the city, even if he ran away, he could still find the person by following the clues.
Li Shi was dragged in by the Tiqi. His legs were so weak that he couldn't even kneel down. He just collapsed on the ground and said tremblingly: "Tishuai Rongzhen... the grassroots enter the city. , was dismissed by Duke Gao, and had no choice but to return to the capital to seek refuge with his relatives. What crime did these common people commit, and why did they get caught in the prison? "
The Ming Dynasty banned slaves. In order to circumvent the Ming law, The wealthy families of the Ming Dynasty accepted servants in the name of their family members, so it was reasonable for Li Shi to return to the capital to seek refuge with his relatives and friends because his family had been dismissed and he had no support.
The document from Beizhen Fusi Yamen and the Ministry of Punishment placed the evidence in front of the hall, bowed his head and said: "Tishuai, the handwriting is fake!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! "Chen Hong was shocked when he heard that he wanted to break away from Fanzi's hand, but was pinned to the ground tightly by two Fanzi. While struggling, Chen Hong shouted loudly: "That high-gong character, I Even if it turns into ashes, it can’t be fake!”
Ge Shouli breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands together, rubbed his hands together and said, "I knew that someone would frame the fault! Although Mr. Gao is eager for justice, he is determined not to do such a thing!"
Chase Reading involves recommended arrangements, so please don’t keep books. Lu Bing was in charge of Beizhen Fusi Yamen and handled many cases, but the cases were all ironclad cases that left people speechless. Lu Bing saved Jiajing's life twice. He was Jiajing's staunch supporter, the emperor's guardian, and Jiajing's gate god. Oh, by the way, some people scolded Lu Bing for being greedy. He laughed to death. Lu Bing was so greedy that he was nothing like Xu Ge. Compared to Songjiang Mansion, that is really...please give me all your support, Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
