The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 225 Smoke disappears
With Cao Lang in charge, Fang Maochun suddenly felt that this case didn't seem so embarrassing.

Fang Maochun immediately issued a subpoena and sent several yamen servants to the Tantai mansion to fetch people.

After a long time, several yamen servants returned in desperation, but it was not Tantaisong who followed behind, but a man who looked like a housekeeper.

"Little Chen San, our master has something to do and he can't get away. He heard the message from the master of Futai, so he sent the younger one to respond to the lawsuit."

Although Chen Sanhua was polite, the smile on his face was extremely perfunctory, and there was no respect in his expression.

Fang Maochun would not have dared to say anything about the prime minister's family, the seventh-rank official, in the past.

It was rare to have the confidence once today, Fang Maochun said with a sneer: "What a big gesture, did Tan Taisong make a mistake, did you think he was the second grade minister?"

Hearing Fang Maochun's bad words, Chen San raised his head and glanced at Fang Maochun, with contempt still in his eyes.

Fang Maochun slapped the startle and said loudly: "Okay, Chen San, the government is arresting the murderer, and you dare to impersonate him, come here! Put this Chen San in prison, and interrogate him when he is brought to justice!"

As soon as the words finished, two servants pushed Chen San to the ground, Chen San shouted loudly: "Lord Fang, I am the chief housekeeper of the Tantai family, if you beat a dog, you have to look after the master, aren't you afraid of getting burned? "

Cao Lang was sitting on the right side of the lobby, holding a cup of tea, sipping the tea leisurely with his head down, as if he was deaf to what was going on in the lobby.

Fang Maochun glanced in Cao Lang's direction, then looked at Chen San who was struggling on the ground, and said with a smile: "Okay, I want to see what kind of fire can burn my Jingzhao Mansion."

Chen San was forcibly dragged out by two guards. Fang Maochun bowed his hands to Cao Lang and said, "Little Eunuch Cao, the prisoner is arrogant and has been refusing to bring him to justice. Look, Dongchang will come forward and send a few people over."

"That's easy to say. Mr. Fang only cares about enforcing the law impartially."

Cao Lang casually waved his hand behind him, and the two Dongchang fans behind him immediately stood up, and Cao Lang ordered: "You two, follow the people from Jingzhao Mansion to arrest people, if anyone obstructs, just report The name of the Shangdong Factory."

Dongchang made a move, and sure enough, after a while, two Dongchang fans came back to report to Cao Lang.

Behind them, four guards led a middle-aged man in his 40s into the main hall.

This person is naturally Tantaisong. In the past month, Tantaisong has been trapped by many things, and he has aged several decades all of a sudden. wrinkles.

Tantaisong stooped into the main hall and saw Cao Lang at a glance. Taking advantage of the moment he entered the door, he suddenly rushed in front of Cao Lang and shouted hysterically, "It's you! It's you, right? Cao Lang, I I have never had any grievances with you, why did you harm me like this!"

It was only then that several guards came to their senses, and quickly stepped forward to hold Tantaisong back.

Cao Lang grinned, pinched his robe sleeve, twisted it casually a few times, and said to Fang Maochun: "Master Fang, since the criminal has arrived, you can start questioning."

Tantaisong's case does not seem to be too suspicious.

Fang Maochun passed Tantai Hanzhou and Han Shi successively to ask for their confession.He brought the killer to the hall and extracted the killer's testimony.

Regarding Tantai Song's buying and killing, and adultery with his daughter-in-law, everything seems to be conclusive.

According to Dayan's regulations, no matter whether they are in office or official officials, they are not required to bow down when they are being tried.

Fang Maochun's public trial of Tantai Song today is for the common people to see, so naturally he doesn't want to give anyone a handle in this place.

Not only was he very polite to Tantaisong, but he even prepared a stool for him.It's just that Fang Maochun was afraid of bumping into Cao Lang again, so he specially arranged four guards to guard Tantaisong.

Tantaisong seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, and sat quietly, neither protesting nor answering, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

When Fang Maochun pronounced the sentence, Tan Taisong suddenly stood up when he heard that "killing his wife and son is intolerable", pointed at Fang Maochun and cursed: "Fang Maochun! If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse! You old boy, want to Let me tell you how to die, why bother to put on an air of hypocrisy!"

Fang Maochun snorted coldly, and said: "The suspect is roaring in court, someone, come and gag him!"

After giving an order, several guards were not polite, they stepped forward and tied Tantaisong's mouth with sweat towels.Tantaisong wanted to say something more, but he could only make a "woo woo" sound.

Fang Maochun did not allow Tan Taisong to question, and then began to describe Tan Taisong's crimes.

When he finished reading, he walked around the table and walked up to Cao Lang, bent down and said in a low voice: "Little Eunuch Cao, the next official's trial is almost done, do you think it is satisfactory?"

Cao Lang stood up, with a mocking smile on his face, and said: "Lord Fang, our family is here to hear the trial. You are the main hall of the whole family, so you can judge as you like."

Fang Maochun immediately understood what Cao Lang meant, walked back to his seat, and began to pronounce the sentence.

Cao Lang ignored what Fang Maochun said, walked up to Tantaisong, and said in a low voice as if talking to himself: "Tantaisong, you have heard all about the crimes of corrupting the law, raping and murdering, beheading and confiscating the house. , but you have it all. Tell me, if you are released now, will the people outside stone you to death?"

Tantaisong heard Cao Lang's tone in his ears, and felt that Cao Lang's tone was cold, not only full of gloating, but also filled with monstrous hatred, very much like a voice coming from underground.

At this point, Tan Taisong finally understood what was going on.

Ever since he entered the imperial prison, everything was probably promoted by Dongchang.

Dongchang let him out so easily, of course it was intentional, not only to let him experience ruin and family ruin, but also to uproot the entire Tantai family.

The viciousness of his intentions is really heinous.

It's ridiculous that everyone in Tantai's family thought that the emperor was lenient, and they didn't know the conspiracy behind it.

Tantaisong's heart was frightened, he heard that eunuchs must be punished, and he didn't know when he offended Cao Shouli and Cao Lang, which would bring such a disaster to Tantai's family.

He wanted to ask a few questions, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't say a word.

Only Cao Lang said with a low smile: "The Tantai family's century-old family will disappear in front of your eyes from today onwards, Tantai Song, how do you feel?"

"You have been serving as Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice for so many years, how many families have been destroyed by you. When you were high-spirited, did you ever think that such things as ransacking your family and exterminating your family will one day fall on your Tantai family? head?"

"Our family pleaded for your Tantai family in front of His Majesty. His Majesty said that the Tantai family's crime is not worthy of death, and the family property will be confiscated."
