Chapter 253 The contest in court

On the sixth day of the seventh month of the second year of Xianheng, at the sixth quarter of Mao, the sky was just bright, and the disk-shaped sun rose slowly from the horizon. The golden sunlight dispelled the fog in the morning and rendered the clouds in the sky as red as blood. The edict prison, which had been busy all night, finally calmed down. Only the broken walls were on the spot, and the curling green smoke From time to time, he floated out of the ruins, as if to talk about the disaster last night. At this time, the prisons who should have appeared around the fire were almost gathered at the gate of the government office of Dali Temple. They whispered with an extremely complicated look, and their eyes turned to the lobby from time to time, just because a game that might shake the overall situation of the court. The public trial is about to begin.

In the middle of the court, Li Xian sat calmly on his face. The calm temperament and awe-inspiring spirit of the court can be said to complement each other. As for the two deputy chief examiners, Liu Yizhi and Hou Shanye, who sat on the left and right, they were obviously a little unnatural. Liu Yizhi was slightly better. Although his body was stiff, but His expression was still comfortable, and Hou Shanye was completely down-faced, as if someone owed him eight million yuan. It was not surprising. No matter who had the experience of two deputy chief judges, I'm afraid they were all like this - before dawn, the soldiers of the British royal palace had already blocked the door of the two deputy chief judges, Liu and Hou. In the way of passing the military order, the two deputy chief examiners were 'invited' to the lobby.

"Your Highness, the time has come, please make it clear to your Highness!"

Lin Chengbin, dressed in armor, walked to the court, bowed to Li Xian and reported loudly.

"Start!"

Li Xian didn't even look at Hou and Liu. He waved his hand in awe and ordered indifferently.

"Yes, the last general is obeded." Lin Chengbin didn't pay attention to the surprised eyes of Hou and Liu, the deputy chief judge. He bowed and agreed. He walked to the mouth of the hall, raised his hand and shouted loudly, "Come on!"

"Wei...Wu..."

As soon as Lin Chengbin's words fell, several royal bodyguards escorted He Lanmin, who was full of heavy shackles, and walked in from the lobby. A group of royal bodyguards standing under the hall and temporarily acting as government officials saw this and immediately shouted for power in unison. Although the voice was not as good as the government servants who often do this road, it was murderous. Not to mention the shock of the prisoners on the periphery of the hall, even Hou Shanye, who has been in the court for a long time, could not help but be surprised. A trace of strange color flashed in his eyes, but soon calmed down, but looked at He Lanminzhi's eyes were obviously more murderous.

"Who is kneeling?"

When the guards of the royal palace knelt down under the hall, Li Xian picked up the Jingtang wood, patted it gently, and snorted coldly according to the original.

"Someone, Wu Minzhi, the Duke of Zhou, has been wronged to ask His Royal Highness the King of England to be the master of a certain family."

He Lanminzhi is a spoiled person. In the past few days of his cell career, he looks quite bad, but his tone is still so arrogant. When he answers Li Xian's question, no one is humble as he deserves.

"Hmm." Li Xian said without hesitation, and then went down to himself, "Supervisor Xiao Ming impeached Er's ten crimes. Can you plead guilty?"

"I dare not recognize it!"

He Lanmin shrugged his shoulders, smiled badly, and replied carelessly.

"Bold madman, dares to despise the court, his crime is intotolerant, come, heavy punishment!"

Hearing He Lanmin's response, Li Xian seemed to be very angry. He suddenly patted the wood and broke his throat.

"No!"

Since Li Xian had opened his mouth, a group of guards of the royal palace did not dare to neglect him. They rushed forward and set up He Lanminzhi to drag him down.

"Your Highness, wait."

Seeing that Li Xian put on the posture of imposing a stern torture to force a confession, Liu Yizhi and Hou Shanye couldn't sit still at that time. After a quick exchange of eyes, Liu Yizhi's words dissuadeed him.

"Well, what does Liu mean in this matter?"

Li Xian pressed his hand and motioned the guards of the royal palace to walk slowly. Then he stared at Liu Yizhi with slanting eyes and said very unhappily.

"Your Highness, I think that under the three trees, every grievance is not a good way to ask the case, but a last resort. At the beginning of the inquiry, it is really not appropriate to apply a heavy punishment. You should allow him to defend yourself. I hope your Highness will think twice." Liu Yizhi received a secret order from the Queen of Wu and wanted to close the case as soon as possible, but he never wanted to see the case like Xiao Ming's bullet seal. When he should be soft with He Lanmin, he would not let it go. Then he talked respectfully and smoothly, and the whole faction supported He Lanmin.

"Oh? Does Lord Hou have the same opinion, huh?"

Li Xian was not angry because of Liu Yizhi's intervention. He just hummed from his nostrils and ignored Liu Yizhi's modesty. He turned his head and glanced at Hou Shanye and asked quietly.

"In reply to Your Highness, I think what Lord Liu said."

Hou Shanye did not intend to come up so soon, but Li Xian had to ask, and he had to answer. He could only bow and bow and reply.

"There must be grievances under Sanmu? Well, well said, I want to listen to how the criminal is self-defense. Li Xian curled the corners of his mouth and showed a disdainful sneer. Regardless of Liu and Hou's faces, he picked up the Jingtangmu and patted him, and then shouted, "Wu Minzhi, let's talk about this 'dare not admit'. If you can't say the reason, don't blame you for contempt for the court, say it!"

"Your Highness is angry. What someone said is that he dares not admit it, not that he does not recognize it."

He Lanmin had no doubt that he would die. He was extremely open-open and didn't care about the subtle atmosphere in the hall at all. He explained with a bad smile.

"Huh? What do you say about this?"

Li Xian frowned and seemed to be very surprised by He Lan Minzhi's statement. After hesitating for a while, he cautiously asked.

"I'm afraid that someone will try to destroy someone's mouth."

He Lanmin gritted his teeth and answered with resentment.

"Bold, are you trying to frame me, huh?"

As soon as he heard He Lanmin's words, Li Xiandeng was angry and suddenly patted the wood and shouted.

"No, no, no, how dare you frame your Highness? Your Highness, don't worry, and Rong will start from the beginning."

He Lanmin is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. No matter how ugly Li Xian's face is, he shook his head and replied.

"Tell!"

After Li Xian staring coldly at He Lanmin for a long time, he suffocated a word from his teeth. His tone was extremely gloomy. Obviously, his heart was already murderous.

"Since he came into office, he has been repeatedly favored and has been favored. There is no one who refuses what he wants. This is the meaning of his majesty's love. He dares not forget it all his life. However, alas, he was careless and mistakenly handed over to the villain, so that he failed his majesty's high expectations. It's really ashamed..." He Lanmin said with a painful face, Wan If you sincerely repent.

"Enough, let's talk about the point!"

Li Xian seemed to be extremely impatient. Before He Lanmin could finish his confession, he patted the wood and interrupted rudely.

"Well, that's what someone said. The reason why someone ended up like this is that he was instigated by the villain, and there was a marquis in the list!" He Lanmin smiled coldly and exposed a shocking sentence.

"You're talking nonsense. When will I instigate you? Be presumptuous. Come on, drag it down and hit me again with fifty boards!"

Hou Shanye was originally just listening to the trial with the mentality of watching the hustle and bustle, but he never expected that He Lanmin would actually poke the spear on himself. At this, he was suddenly shocked and angry. He picked up the shocked wood and patted it heavily. He shouted and drank regardless. However, the people standing under the hall were the bodyguards of the British Palace, and there was no one there. Imcare his orders.

"Your Highness, the subordinate is the deputy chief judge of the emperor's order. It is not a criminal who can be insulted. Please be the master of the subordinate!"

Hou Shanye roared and saw that there was no movement at all. Then he woke up and had to suppress the anger in his heart. He arched his hand to Li Xian and said with a pale face.

"Lord Hou, please don't be impatient. You will judge whether it's right or wrong." Li Xian raised his eyebrows and said indifferently. After that, no matter how ugly Hou Shanye's face was, he narrowed his eyes and said quietly, "Wu Minzhi, you know that it is not a trivial matter to accuse the presiding judge in court. If there is no evidence, there will be a serious crime of disturbing the court. Under several crimes and punishments, I'm afraid it will be difficult to die."

"If someone dares to say this, there is naturally real evidence. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can investigate it thoroughly."

He Lanmin shrugged her shoulders indifferently and replied with a big thorn.

"Oh? Where is the evidence?"

As soon as He Lanmin's voice fell, Li Xian immediately interrupted and asked, cooperating with an extremely tacit understanding, leaving no room for Liu and Hou to interrupt.

"Your Highness, Mingjian, someone has a hobby of bookkeeping, but all the heavy gifts sent by others have records to check. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can send someone to a house to check it." He Lanmin smiled and replied gloomyly.

"Very good, it's really good to check it out, come on!"

Li Xian's face was dull, and he suddenly patted the wood and shouted.

"The end will be!"

Lin Chengbin, who had been waiting under the hall for a long time, heard Li Xian shouting and did not dare to neglect at all. He hurriedly led several bodyguards to rush to the lobby and answered loudly.

"Lin Dianjun, Gu Linger immediately led his troops to the Duke of Zhou's mansion to find out where the account book was!"

Li Xian suddenly stood up, waved his hand, and issued an order in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes, the last general will obey!"

Lin Chengbin answered the promise in a loud voice, and then came to He Lanminzhi's side. He Lanminzhi chattered in his ear to explain the whereabouts of the account book. Then he rushed down the lobby and led a group of royal guards to roar to the Duke of Zhou.

"Your Highness, with your holy will, this is a case of Xiao Ming's impeachment of Wu Min. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to be so provoctuous?"

Seeing that the situation was in the state of control, Liu Yizhi couldn't sit still. He stood up in a hurry, bowed to Li Xian, and earnestly advised him.

"Isn't Gu a person who doesn't know the importance? Now the case will be clear. How can it be said? Liu is worried about the sky. The loneliness has been decided. Don't mention this matter again!" Li Xian was determined that he would not be moved by the threats hidden in Liu Yi's words. He stared and retorted rudely.

"Ah, yes, the subordinate made a mistake, the subordinate made a mistake." Seeing that Li Xian's tone was not good, Liu Yi dared not talk more. He hurriedly complained. Some of them sat down demeanorably and looked at Hou Shanye, who was also restless, and quickly reached a consensus with each other...
