Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 336
The venue for the joint trial of the three divisions is set in the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Due to the temporary absence of the position of Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Wei Cen and Zhang Yiwai, the two servants of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, are in charge of the case on weekdays. Qing Cao Shaoqin is also the presiding judge of the three parties in this case.

On both sides of the hall, there is a row of officials. In addition to the Langzhong and Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Punishment, there are other officials from the Imperial History and Dali Temple. They are sitting upright, looking very scary.

At this time, Su Chen sat in Peng Zeliang's carriage and arrived outside the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Are you sure?" Peng Zeliang asked Su Chen again when he got off the car.

Su Chen said with a stern expression: "I can't tell until I see the corpse. It's hard to say now."

Hearing this, Peng Zeliang let out a sigh. At this juncture, Su Chen was not sure. In other words, if there was nothing abnormal about the corpse, or if Su Chen couldn't find the key clues in the corpse, then Peng Qingqing might be able to be convicted. up.

Not only will his daughter face prison, but he himself will lose his official position, demoted to a small place, and there will be no hope for his future.

Su Chen's face was calm, and his heart was also fluctuating. He didn't know the symptoms of the corpse, everything was unknown, and he had no other way for the time being.

Peng Zeliang sighed: "I want to avoid this case, so I can't follow it up. Su Chen, Qingqing's matter depends entirely on you."

Su Chen nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will never put Qingqing in danger."

Peng Zeliang glanced at Su Chen meaningfully. Although he was not pleasing to his eyes before, after Su Chen emerged and became famous, he has accepted Su Chen as his prospective son-in-law, and he has been recognized in his heart.

"Yixuan, wait for this matter, let's get married for you and Qingqing."

"Ah, what!" Su Chen was a little surprised, Mr. Peng was worried that he wouldn't be able to do his best, so he gave a big sweet date in advance?
However, now is not the time for Su Chen to agree to get married, because he promised Bai Susu and Zhou Jiamin that they would get married in three years, and he also wanted to give the second daughter a chance to make amends.

Su Chen bit the bullet and said: "Uncle Peng, let's talk about the marriage matter later when we find a chance. The younger generation can't have any distracting thoughts for the time being. The first priority is to rescue Qingqing, so let's go in."

Peng Zeliang nodded, and didn't have any other thoughts. He didn't know that Su Chen was still thinking about giving Susu and Jiamin a chance, otherwise he would be furious: Brat, my daughter will be convicted at any time in the prison, you are still in my heart Thinking about other women.

Su Chen bid farewell, turned around and entered the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, came to the main hall with double eaves on the top of the mountain, stepped into the lobby, and immediately felt a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

A plaque of "Mirror Hanging High" is clearly on the top, and on the screen under the plaque, there is an ink painting of a tiger descending the mountain, with a mighty momentum.

On the three-foot koan in front of the screen are the four treasures of the study, the gavel, the case-judgment card, the issuing token, the seal of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the stick.There were several red sticks for execution and several black sticks for arrest. Except for some officials, there were two rows of yamen servants standing on both sides of the hall holding water and fire sticks, solemnly.

Even in the sunny afternoon, standing here still feels cool and cold, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Su Chen was not a prisoner who was going to be tried. After bowing his hands to the ministers present, he introduced himself.

"I'm Su Chen, I have met all the adults."

Several Sun Party officials present who had never met Su Chen looked at him with curiosity and approval.

People in the Sun Party have heard everything about him, and they admire this young man from the bottom of their hearts.

But people from the Song Party and the New Party are political enemies of the Sun Party, so naturally they don't want to see Su Chen being too good to overwhelm their disciples and young heroes, so their eyes are cold and critical.

"Hmph, you are Su Chen. You have no fame. When you see all the adults present, you should kneel down and salute." A censor named Wu Qian snorted coldly at Su Chen.

Wei Cen, the servant of the criminal department, had a gloomy face, and also said coldly: "It makes sense, Su Chen, you still don't kneel down."

He planned to use the power of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment to suppress Su Chen, first give him a blow, affect his state of mind, and make him unable to exert his ability later.

Some people began to gloat, to see how Su Chen would deal with it. After all, he had no fame or official position. He belonged to the grassroots, and he could be manipulated in front of senior officials of the third and fourth ranks.

But Su Chen was not afraid at all, with a calm expression, he took out a jade waist badge from his pocket, and said loudly: "This is a gift from the official, and there is also a decree written in his own handwriting. He is responsible for participating in this matter. If the official comes here in person, No need to salute anyone."

As soon as the badge and imperial decree bestowed by his official family came out, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect the official family to treat him so favorably and gave him double insurance. No one dared to make him kneel down again with the words "as if I were here in person". Well, it's not bad if these people don't kneel down.

Wei Cen, Wu Qian and the others all had ugly expressions on their faces. After all, they were slapped in the face on the spot.

Zhang Yi, the right servant of the Ministry of Justice, smiled slightly, seeing the people of the Song Party slumped, his heart blossomed with joy, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Come on, hurry up and move a seat for Mr. Su Chen, he is here on behalf of the official family. Slack."

"Here!" An official sent a chair and placed it on the right side, next to the seat of Fu Dongsheng, the imperial servant of the Shangyao Bureau, so that the two sat together.

"Fu Yufeng is here early." After Su Chen walked over, he bowed his hands to Fu Dongsheng and saluted.

Fu Dongsheng didn't dare to trust him, so he hurriedly returned the gift. He knew how much the officials, the queen mother, and Princess Yongning valued Su Chen in the palace. It won't be long before this is a celebrity in the royal family. His imperial envoy is not qualified to be entrusted with a high school.

Moreover, how to find clues about the corpse in this case still depends on Su Chen, so he maintained his politeness and etiquette.

"It's not too early, just one step ahead of you."

As soon as Fu Dongsheng and Su Chen sat down, they heard an officer from the Ministry of Criminal Justice coming in to report. King Ji, Han Shilang, and You Shilang joined hands in the compound of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. These three are today's supervisors.

Everyone stood up and greeted King Ji in terms of etiquette. This is a relative of the emperor and the most beloved younger brother of the official family. He is very much loved by the Queen Mother. Therefore, King Ji is quite favored. You have to be respectful.

Ji Wang Li Congqian, Han Xizai, and You Jianyan walked in at about the same time. I don't know if they were waiting for each other outside, or they just met by chance.

In addition to the three, Cha Yuanfang also came. He is not only the family member of the victim, but also the plaintiff this time. Due to his official position, he cannot be directly regarded as the plaintiff and brought to trial. Instead, he came in ahead of time and waited. Attending the hearing, the complaint was handed over to the butler of the Cha family.

"My lords, you don't need to be too polite, just take your seats." Li Congqian was 23 years old, and his mind had already matured. After being a prince for several years, he also had a certain prestige.

"King Ji, please sit high!" Wei Cen asked King Ji to sit first on the left, while Han Xizai and You Jianyan took the second and third seats, both of which were the most prominent positions on the left, showing that the official positions and titles of the three were indeed Much taller than the other observers.

After the three of them were seated, Wei Cen, Zhang Yi, Cao Yongqin, Yan Xu and others sat back in their seats.

"It's time to start." King Ji said.

Wei Cen nodded, then picked up the gavel, slapped it on the desk, and shouted, "Bring the suspect Peng Qingqing to court!"
