Chapter 396 The Trial of the Four Laws
“Hmm... delicious!”
Fu Qingzhou put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said with emotion: “The food in Mingjiange is really good!”
This is a yamen affiliated to Mingjian Pavilion, called Zhishi Hall.
The name is very nice, but it is actually a place specifically responsible for archiving evidence. After he was invited by the two emissaries, it was here that he re-written roughly the book he originally gave to Yue Heng. "Spell Overview".
Of course, the book he is writing now is much simpler. Many spells do not need to be written in detail as before. All he needs to do is let Mingjiange know that he knows this kind of spell and that the handwriting is the same.
He quickly finished writing and handed it in, and then Liu Xingyuan and Wang Dahai asked him to wait here.
During this process, Mingjiange even sent him meals. The meals were quite sumptuous, with two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup, and they were very delicious.
"They have been gone for a while...are they looking for Gu Jinchen?"
Fu Qingzhou said to himself.
At this moment, several people in official uniforms walked over looking left and right, then locked onto him and walked straight towards him.
These people were not wearing Mingjiange official uniforms. When Fu Qingzhou was still wondering about their identities, the leader came to him and asked: "Fu Qingzhou?"
"Yes. I...uh, I am a grassroots person."
Fu Qingzhou stood up and saluted.
It would have been fine if it was normal, but now that he had to clear his brother-in-law's grievances, he decided to restrain himself and behave himself... to avoid causing trouble again for no reason.
"Well, we are from Dali Temple, come with us."
The leader nodded and said: "The trial of Yue Heng's case is about to begin."
Fu Qingzhou was surprised. : "So fast?"
"Wouldn't it be better to be faster?" The man from Dali Temple also smiled slightly: "Settling it faster will save you from being troubled by the officials, right?"
He probably said this because he didn't know much about Fu Qingzhou's identity and thought he was a witness involved in the case.
But this is also true. For most ordinary people, being involved in a lawsuit is always a worrying thing, so they all hope to resolve it as soon as possible and not have anything to do with themselves.
So Fu Qingzhou nodded without saying anything more.
"You guys."
The man from Dali Temple said to his subordinates again: "Go and ask the deacon of Zhishitang for relevant evidence."
They acted very quickly. Not long after, he picked up what he wanted and took Fu Qingzhou on the road.
On the way, he made some insinuations and asked a few questions, and he probably got some clarity on the situation.
Yue Heng's matter moved forward very quickly because of "the urging of important people". After he mentioned Gu Jinchen to the Mingjiange secret envoy, Mingjiange immediately sent another person to the Lan Family Villa.
At the same time, the inquiry and confession about Yue Heng have also been sent to Dali Temple. Dali Zhengyi, who is in charge of the case, heard that all the witnesses and confessions related to the case were complete, so he simply investigated the case and directly The court is ready.
Therefore, the "Four Legal Divisions" of the Ministry of Punishment, Mingjiange, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate moved very quickly, summoning witnesses to summon witnesses, and collecting evidence to collect evidence. Follow the process...
Listen, Fu Qingzhou probably understands.
During this period, the Metropolitan Procuratorate's identity is similar to that of the "Procuratorate", which is mainly responsible for prosecution.
The Ministry of Punishment is similar to the public security agency, responsible for investigation and evidence collection... Of course, Mingjiange is also similar to this identity, but their level is higher and their methods are more mysterious. They are probably agents. Bar.
As for Dali Temple, it is probably the court, responsible for reviewing and pronouncing judgments. With this said, he finally understood the functions of these departments.
When Fu Qingzhou came to the court of Dali Temple, he found that he was the last one to arrive.
There were several familiar faces in the hall.
The first thing that caught my eye was naturally Yue Heng... My brother-in-law, whom I had not seen for several months, now looked quite embarrassed.
He has disheveled hair, ragged clothes, shackles on his hands and feet, a gray face, and a smelly body. How can he look like a romantic and talented man? Fortunately, there was no smell of blood on him, and it seemed that he had not been tortured.
As a suspect, he is also the only person in the hall who needs to kneel.
Seeing Fu Qingzhou's arrival, Yue Heng's eyes lit up instantly.
"Brother Fu..."
He couldn't help blurting out.
Pop!
The sound of the gavel interrupted his words, and Dali in the hall said in a deep voice: "People in the hall should not make any noise!"
Yue Heng quickly stopped talking, but The eyes looking at Fu Qingzhou were still shining.
Fu Qingzhou smiled at him and turned his eyes aside.
This time around, I actually saw Lan Hongjun.
The son of a noble family who was severely injured and paralyzed was pushed here while paralyzed in a wheelchair... He looked even more embarrassed than Yue Heng. He was so skinny that he was covered with bones. There was a strong smell on his body. There was a strong smell of medicine, his face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes surrounded by thick black circles were full of hatred, and they locked tightly on Yue Heng.
Of course, after Fu Qingzhou arrived, he shared some of this resentment.
"Yes, he is the party involved after all. Since he wants to try the case, he must come."
Fu Qingzhou paid little attention to the paralyzed Mr. Lan, but turned his attention to... Gu Jinchen who was pushing the wheelchair.
Gu Jinchen stood behind the wheelchair, his face calm as usual. When he saw him, he looked back lightly. The two of them touched each other and quickly moved away.
Of course, there is another person in the hall who is also a party to this case.
Lan Shaozhong, Lan Junhong’s cousin.
He looks about 45% similar to Lan Junhong, but his figure is obviously taller. He is wearing the scholar's long shirt that Fu Qingzhou has seen on Bai Xiaochuan - that is obviously the dean of Zhangjian Academy. Clothes.
Lan Shaozhong's face was very ugly, and he was obviously a little surprised, and his eyes kept looking at a few people.
Fu Qingzhou smiled secretly in his heart.
He will appear here. Mingjiange should have asked Gu Jinchen, and Gu Jinchen has also confessed this son of the Lan family - but it seems that neither of the two young masters of the Lan family have paid attention. Come to this book boy.
This bookboy is indeed quite capable. He confessed all the people, but no one in the Lan family noticed him? How?
In the court, the person in charge of hearing the case was Dali Zheng, but there were many people in the audience, including Wang Dahai, Liu Xingyuan and other Mingjiange secret envoys, as well as people from the Ministry of Punishment, and of course... there was also the Metropolitan Procuratorate. of officials.
However, Fu Qingzhou didn't see Bai Jin.
Thinking about it, Bai Jin is one of the highest-ranking officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He can use his connections to rush the case, but after all, he is not in charge of the case in terms of the process. He came to observe. Somewhat unruly.
Pop!
The alarm sounded again in the hall, and Dali was shouting with a stern face: "Today, we are trying the case of Yue Heng stealing the secret book of Zhangjian Academy and seriously injuring Lan Hongjun. I will uphold justice and understand every detail to return the truth. !"
After that, he looked at Yue Heng: "Yue Heng, do you know the crime? Please tell the truth about the case immediately. If there is any lies, you will not be spared."< br>
