Ministry of Punishment.
Fang Tong, Bingzheng and Jiang Wen knelt on the ground.
Because the Minister of Punishment Huang Da and Shi Lang Da were dismissed, the official who temporarily takes over the position of the Minister is Liu He, who was transferred from the Ministry of Personnel.
He is sitting on it at the moment, a pair of elite eyes staring at the three people on the ground.
Question: "The trial of Du Mubai's theft of poems started today. All three of you are related to this case. Let's get the facts together soon."
Intimidating!
As the principal offender, Bingzheng first said, "Sir, I am the one responsible for this matter, and I have wronged Du Mubai."
Take the initiative to take everything in the past.
It made Fang Tong and Jiang Wen a long sigh of relief.
Liu He was in the Ministry of Personnel and had always been in charge of the conduct of officials, so he was much stricter than Mr. Huang.
In short, it is to be fair!
After hearing what Bingzheng said, he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he aimed his eyes at the other two and continued to cross-examine, "What about you? Why are you helping Bingzheng with false evidence? He wronged others?" Fang Tong kowtowed his head. , shouting injustice: "Master Mingjian, we are also deceived by Zhengzheng, just because he is too honest and his words and deeds are credible, and before that, he did write poems every day in the house, but it was Du Mu. Bai, running outside for three days a day, how can I have the heart to do it
poetry? That's why we believed Bingzheng's words for a while and helped him with false evidence, and we don't know! Therefore, I should have wronged Du Mubai. I beg your lord to take it lightly for the sake of both of us being ignorant. "
He is a man of knowledge, and he is familiar with the laws and regulations.
"Sent lightly" and "forgiveness" obviously have two meanings.
The former means remorse and guilt, while the latter means nothing.
What a reader!
The work on the text is still pretty good.
Liu He frowned, meaning intriguing, and then glanced at Jiang Wen, "What do you say?"
Jiang Wen trembled and slowly raised his head.
Also draw the scoop according to the gourd.
He said, "Master Hui, what Fang Tong said is exactly what I wanted to say. We are both victims, both of whom were deceived by Bingzheng. If it wasn't for him, we would not have been implicated, nor would Du Mubai. Will bear the name of theft, the culprit is Bingzheng."
Saying that, he pointed hard at Bingzheng.
A look of regret and even guilt appeared.
But Bingzheng knelt down calmly.
Eyes fall on the ground, let others say what they want!
He had a mortal heart.
Liu He couldn't help frowning again: "Then according to what you said, the two of you are not guilty?"
Jiang Wen: "Of course not, it's just..."
Suddenly he realized that he might have said the wrong thing.
He was confused for a while, blaming all the blame on Bingzheng's head, and left himself clean, which was a bit contrary to Fang Tong's previous sentence of "send lightly".
And when he glanced at Fang at the same time in a panic, what responded to him was Fang Tong's eyes that hated iron.
A good game will be ruined by him like this! Fang Tong had no choice but to swallow his anger and hurriedly make amends, saying, "Sir, Jiang Wen didn't mean that. We only wronged Du Mubai because we listened to Bingzheng's words. The first sin should be on Bingzheng, and the two of us are also guilty. It's just that there is really ignorance in it, and I don't know how to think.
For the sake of doing it on purpose, let it go lightly. "
It was another sentence that was light-hearted, but it brought the current situation back again.
Liu He has been in the Ministry of Officials for many years, and he has seen a lot of messes in the official circles, and he has also seen the words drilled!
Of course, it can be seen that Fang Tong and Jiang Wen are both human beings and ghosts.
And he is also straight-minded, his thick black brows are raised high, and he said, "Du Mubai was a talented man back then, and he entered the Pingyang Marquis Mansion as a student. Few people can get such an honor, I'm afraid you two are clearly the same. Because of jealousy in his heart, he ignored the indiscretion and wronged people."
"My lord, we will never do this."
"It's a human being or a ghost, both of you know it well."
"It's really only because we listened to Bingzheng's words that we..."
Liu He interrupted them: "Don't say anything! This official understands what you mean."
Fang Tong's face was red, and he had to admit that he was indeed jealous of Du Mubai, and Liu He, who temporarily took over the position of Lord Huang, was indeed a very smart person.
Master Guan ordered him to shut up, and he naturally couldn't explain it, it was as uncomfortable as being stripped naked and exposed to the sun.
It's more like being stabbed in the heart by something.
Liu He didn't want to listen to the two of them grumbling, but instead focused his gaze on Bingzheng, who looked weak and weak.
He had already read the file of this person, he was born into a cold, and there was an old grandmother in the family. This person usually does not like to talk, he acts in a low-key manner, and he never talks much to others.
And how could such a person commit the act of wrongfully accusing others of stealing
If you want to say that you know the person and the face but don't know the heart, Liu He doesn't believe it!
Then he asked: "Bingzheng, this official will ask you again, is it your intention to do this? Or is there another reason? If there is, you can just say it, this official will make the decision for you, this is the hall of the Ministry of Punishment, no one is there. How can I take you!"
At this moment, Fang Tong and Jiang Wen looked at Bingzheng together.
The eyes of the two of them seemed to fall off.
They stared at Bingzheng hard, warning him not to talk nonsense.
Otherwise... Bingzheng lowered his head and didn't pay attention to their eyes at all, but slowly raised those empty and tired eyes, met Liu He's serious eyes, and said, "Sir, what I want to say has already been said just now. It's clear that this incident is all my fault. I'm just jealous
I was jealous of Du Mubai, so I wronged him, and Fang Tong and Jiang Wen were also deceived by me, so they agreed to testify for me. "
After he finished speaking, he fell heavily on the ground again.
His forehead hit the ground.
"Bang"!
Everyone who sees it hurts.
Fang Tong and Jiang Wen also breathed a long sigh of relief.
Liu He was still beating drums in his heart. For some reason, his intuition told him that Bingzheng must be hiding something
But now that the facts are in front of him, he can't help thinking about other things.
While he was silent, Xingbu Langzhong walked up to him, bent over and reminded him in his ear: "Master Liu, it's time to judge."
"understood."
Then you are sentenced!
lingering for half a day.
If this were replaced by Lord Huang, it would have been a matter of time.
Liu He had never been in the Punishment Department, but as an official in the Ministry of Personnel, he was well aware of the procedure for handling the case. It was for this reason that the superiors dispatched him here.
You know, he was taking a shower at the time, and the dispatch documents were delivered to the mansion. Before he could dry his body, he went out to pick it up! Now, he can't help complaining!
