Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1208
But if Fang Jun was really released, it would be a bit reckless.

In the final analysis, the "Three Judiciary" is certainly the highest judicial institution in the Tang Dynasty, but in a society where imperial power is supreme, how could it be possible not to take into account the will of His Majesty the Emperor? The "Three Law Divisions" can be denied by their relatives, but the "Three Division Envoys" are human...

There were endless debates in the hall of the Ministry of Justice, until the end of the You Dynasty and the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, there was still no conclusion.

Fang Jun listened silently at first, but later he became impatient, so he sat cross-legged beside Cheng Wuting.

Cheng Wuting lay on the door panel and was placed in the hall, his expression was a little sluggish, but his mind was still clear.Although Wei Yijie ordered the yamen servants to torture him to extract a confession, he still had some scruples in his heart. He only used some punishments that could cause severe pain to force Cheng Wuting to confess, and he didn't dare to use those methods that were extremely vicious and injurious to the flesh and internal organs...

Therefore, although Cheng Wuting's injury was serious, as long as he was treated properly, there should be no irreversible sequelae.

It stands to reason that Cheng Wuting should be escorted back to the prison to take care of him at this moment, but Wei Yijie is now feeling guilty and anxious, and only cares about how to persuade the third envoy to convict Fang Jun, so how can he care about the already useless Cheng Wuting?

Seeing that Fang Jun had been guarding Cheng Wuting's side, the rest of the officials naturally ignored Cheng Wuting's existence.

After all, the treatment back in the prison may not be better than that in the lobby...

Cheng Wu looked at Fang Jun weakly, his mouth squirmed, and murmured: "Fu Yin... I'm sorry, it's my subordinate who was reckless..."

In the final analysis, this incident was all caused by his reckless tampering with records and stealing evidence.If it weren't for his action of "there is no silver 300 taels here", even if Fang Jun's jade pendant really appeared at the scene of the murder, there might not be much trouble.

Fang Jun laughed in a low voice: "If you don't know anything, how can you see through people's hearts? Although your actions have caused a certain person to fall into a passive position, and may even be framed by someone, but a certain person is relieved that you are a tough man! You can rely on It is your good fortune to get the friendship of a certain person through a lot of physical suffering. You must know that the friendship of a certain person, the No. [-] stick in Chang'an, is not something that anyone can get if they think about it, so you are blessed!"

The corner of Cheng Wuting's mouth twitched, he couldn't laugh or cry.

How narcissistic are you that you can say such shameless words?

But... my heart is warm, it really helps.

Cheng Wu didn't forget the scene when Fang Jun wanted to bow his head and confess his guilt when he saw him being tortured just now.To be able to make such a proud person bow his head, he should indeed be proud.

Scholar die for the confidant!

If Fang Jun can give up his whole body, even if he really dies, what is there to regret?
After a little movement, the severe pain all over his body made Cheng Wu grin his teeth for a while.

Fang Jun quickly comforted him: "It's good to lie down, don't move around."

Cheng Wuting panted heavily, his face distorted by the pain, and said: "These guys are so boring, they can either be convicted or released, and they are fighting and hesitating. They are even inferior to women in the market..."

Fang Jun whispered: "Where is it so easy? No one wants to bear the consequences, they all want to dawdle in peace and security, even if they are the third envoy, they must abide by the rules of the officialdom, they are all a bunch of bureaucrats Ah... such a group of people, no matter how powerful the law gives them, they are nothing more than a group of echoers without a backbone."

He was quite disappointed.

At first, the "Three Judges" were able to interrogate him regardless of the emperor's face, and the emperor refused to use imperial power to interfere in the judiciary, which made him quite relieved, thinking that he had seen the shadow of the separation of powers...

But now it seems that they are all trying to figure out the holy will, and no one is willing to rashly express their opinion before they have grasped the emperor's true intentions...

In the era of supremacy of imperial power, the court was controlled by such a group of bureaucrats who were born in aristocratic families or were bent by the imperial power. The separation of the three powers and the independence of the judiciary did not exist...

If we really want the rule of law to completely replace the rule of man, there is still a long, long way to go.

The road is long and long, I will search up and down...

Cheng Wu was a little impatient: "How long will we be arguing like this?"

"almost."

"What's coming soon?"

"They are just waiting for the emperor. As long as the emperor comes, no matter what intentions they express, these people will not continue to argue."

Cheng Wu was quite puzzled: "Those who want to frame you, how could they give up so easily?"

Fang Jun raised his head and looked at the dark sky outside, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth: "They don't want to give up...but they can't help it anymore."

Cheng Wu is quite confused...

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Look! It's on fire!"

The debate in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone raised their heads and looked out.

I saw that the night sky in the east was already faintly lit up with a red light, and it was rapidly brightening almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, half of the sky was illuminated red.

Liu Jie took a breath: "It's Dongshi!"

The east and west cities are the most prosperous and prosperous places in Chang'an. There are clouds of shops in the city, and the storefronts are lined up, gathering rare goods from all over the world.Because it is a place where merchants gather and people are crowded, the probability of fire is extremely high, but all the residents of Chang'an are familiar with it. If it does not burn several times a year, it will be strange...

However, fires of this scale are extremely rare, which means that a large amount of goods will be burned, and countless merchant servants will die in the fire.

The first thought of all the officials was: Jing Zhaoyin is going to be unlucky...

Then the second thought is: Jing Zhaoyin is not necessarily the one who is unlucky, because Jing Zhaoyin is being interrogated in this court at this moment...

Most of the officials in the hall couldn't sit still.

Dongshi is a place where the aristocratic family and the royal nobles buy goods. They make money every day and the business is booming, so behind almost every shop there is a shadow of the aristocratic family, participating in the feast of sharing this fat cake.

Now it is the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the river has not yet been opened, and the value of goods outside cannot be transported into the pass, so there is a large amount of value of property gathered in the East Market. This fire is very likely to burn most of a certain family's property...

Many officials who hoarded a large amount of goods in Dongshi's shops had grown grass in their hearts, and wanted to scold Fang Jun severely for how Jing Zhaoyin was, who couldn't even take the usual fire prevention measures. The scale of the fire is so large... But even if the idea was dismissed, Fang Jun has been detained for several days, and now he may not be able to keep his official position. How can he care about whether you are on fire?
Maybe even this stick is resolving hatred in his heart at the moment, it's embarrassing for Lao Tzu, right?It’s better to burn a fire for you to clean it up...

Linghu Defen feels like sitting on pins and needles.

Dongshi is one of the centers of handicraft production and commercial trade in Chang'an City, and the shops are adjacent to the merchants.The shops that produce and sell the same kind of goods in the city are collectively arranged in the same area, which is called a row; the inn where the goods are stacked is called a mansion.

The mansion not only stores goods for merchants, but also handles bulk wholesale transactions on their behalf.

The Linghu family operates two warehouses that store and manage silk in Dongshi...

In this era, silk can replace currency in the market, and it is extremely expensive.The Linghu family's warehouse is the largest in the East City. In the warehouse, there are countless silks stored in the warehouse and on behalf of other merchants. The quantity is extremely large, and silk is the most flammable thing...

Linghu Defen couldn't even imagine that if his house suffered such a fire, the compensation to other merchants would be an astronomical figure, not counting his own losses.

Compared with the money paid to Fang's family a few days ago, it's nothing. I'm afraid half of the family is gone...

The old man was dizzy for a while, and his heart was burning with anxiety. He wanted to go back and check the situation, but the current situation was not good enough to leave the table without authorization...

While he was in a trance, he suddenly heard a sharp voice shouting: "Your Majesty is here!"

There was a sudden chaos in the hall, and all the officials left their seats one after another, walked to the door and lined up on the left and right, to welcome the holy driver!

His Majesty Li Er, surrounded by officials on both sides, walked in with his head held high and his chest held high, and went to sit in the main seat. Then he said with a somber face, "Your Majesty, please be at peace, there is no need to be formal."
