Han: The witchcraft disaster begins, I fight against Emperor Wu of Han

Chapter 62 Then It’s My Turn to Take Care of It

Bao Shengzhi was the Imperial Censor, one of the Three Dukes.

This was the first time he was questioned like this. He was furious and shouted at Liu Jing again: "Grandson Jing, we are the supervisors!"

Tingwei Bingji also shouted: "This is the Tingwei Mansion, I am the Tingwei!"

They are really unbelievable.

Even if Liu Jing is the grandson of the emperor, he can't be the host so openly, right?
What’s more, don’t forget that the crown prince is about to be deposed!

Aren't you the one who is trying to curry favor with us now, and asking us, the three dukes and nine ministers, to plead for mercy before His Majesty's decree is issued?

The witch is cheating, you just need to drive her away!

But just now he ignored it all and sent people to expel all the alchemists. Did he want to offend all the princes and nobles in Chang'an?

Are you interrogating them again now? Do you expect to settle three cases in one day?

What a foolish dream!

"You two are getting old and confused. Have you forgotten why I came here so quickly? Or are you doing this on purpose? Do you also want to disobey my order?"

After these words were spoken, both Bing Ji and Bao Shengzhi stared at Liu Jing with even more anger.

"Say!"

"Gongsun Jingsheng embezzled the Northern Army's military funds, he deserves to be put to death!"

"I'm asking about Gongsun He!"

"Gongsun He used witchcraft to curse..."

With a "bang", Liu Jing slammed the table and stood up, "You two, I repeat again, there is no witchcraft in the Han Dynasty!"

"There are even many suspicious points in this case! How did a knight-errant like Zhu Anshi know that Gongsun and his son buried a doll that cursed His Majesty under the straight road?"

"First, he has no official position, second, he has no relatives, and third, he has no evidence or witnesses. Why do you treat what he said as the golden rule? How could he really lead a prime minister, two princesses, and even the eldest son of the Wei family, Wei Kang, and Pingyang Marquis Cao Zong to be implicated and executed?"

"Also, some time ago, Zi Jiang Chong framed the Crown Prince's Palace with witchcraft, and the Crown Prince's Palace sent messengers and even went there in person, but couldn't see Your Majesty?"

"Why can a so-called letter of accusation written by a prisoner be presented to His Majesty?"

"Please answer me."

Suddenly.

Bing Ji and Bao Shengzhi's faces turned pale.

Looking at Liu Jing's aggressive eyes, Bing Ji looked solemn and said in a trembling voice: "Grandson Jing, this is not something you should ask."

"Also, Zhu Anshi broke into your Majesty's bedroom rashly and tried to assassinate you. After arresting this kind of criminal, your Majesty naturally asked for the files. We recorded it truthfully, and then your Majesty saw what Zhu Anshi said, and found the puppet used for the curse next to the straight road he described."

"Even if witchcraft is not a crime, the various crimes committed by Gongsun He and his son, as well as their intention to murder Your Majesty, are enough to be sentenced to death!"

Tingwei Bing Ji finished speaking.

Bao Shengzhi also said immediately: "Of course, if you want to overturn the verdict on Gongsun He and his son by saying that there was no witchcraft, you can exempt them from the guilt of witchcraft. But their intention to curse Your Majesty cannot be forgiven. There is no problem in sentencing them to death."

"As for the absence of witchcraft, I can show you the files. Now that you and I are witnesses, we can just scratch the crime of witchcraft on the files of the Supreme Court, and the case will be cleared... How do you think?"

Liu Jing felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he heard this.

Bing Ji's expression had already told him that this case was not that simple.

And they can take a step back, which may be the limit of what they can handle.

only……

"What about Wei Kang, Princess Yangshi, Cao Zong... and others?"

Liu Jing's voice was calm, but when Bing Ji and Bao Shengzhi heard it, they trembled.

"Grandson Jing... you only said that the crimes that could be convicted were the crimes that must be punished with death. Do you want to investigate further?"

"Why not?"

The Imperial Censor said anxiously, "Grandson Jing, to be honest, you have decided three cases in one day since returning from Jianzhang Palace. This is enough to shock the country. Next, what awaits you is a storm from all directions!"

"You really shouldn't waste your thoughts and time on a case that has already been concluded."

"More importantly, the Gongsun He case is just a sideshow compared to what you have to do. I think His Majesty agreed to it because you spoke too quickly."

"But in this case, there are no innocent people, no relatives to appeal for justice, and no new evidence or witnesses... And it involves the princess, prime minister, and even the eldest son of General Wei, the son of Princess Wei..."

"No one in the court dares to intervene."

After saying so much, Bao Shengzhi thought they had made themselves very clear.

You, the grandson of the Emperor Jing, should just treat this case as an extra. All the people are dead, so why are you complaining about injustice?

"No one dares to manage it?"

However, faced with the vague warning between the two.

Liu Jing suddenly stepped out and walked towards the two of them step by step.

His eyes met the two of them, and in his eyes there burst out a determination and persistence that could not be concealed!

"Then it's my turn to take care of it!"

Having said that, he immediately looked at the Chief Justice Bing Ji!

The sound was like thunder falling to the ground, and every word was sonorous.

"Now, bring out all the files involving Gongsun He and his son, Wei Kang, Cao Zong and others... several doubts, several mysteries, who is involved, what is unreasonable, what needs to be re-investigated, which crimes should be abolished, where someone deliberately framed? Where you deliberately judged the case, even... even if it involves His Majesty!"

"One by one...one by one, I will review this case again."

At this time, Bing Ji's face had already turned abnormally pale.

His voice was panicked, even urgent and pleading.

"Grandson Jing, please don't be stubborn!"

Liu Jing waved his sleeves. At this moment, he was also furious because of the repeated obstructions of the two people in front of him.

Since everyone thinks that he was promoted by Emperor Liu Che like Zhang Tang and Wang Wenshu, and that he will die sooner or later, then he is still the magic sword of the Han Dynasty.

It’s better to poke a hole in the sky!
What he likes most is a head-on confrontation.

Thinking of this, he said angrily:
"The laws of the Han Dynasty are not right now, and the enforcement is unclear. Using witchcraft to harm people and framing others has become a trend. It's time to end it!"

"How are Wei Kang, the eldest son of Wei Qing, and Cao Zong, the son of Princess Wei Chang, involved in Gongsun He's witchcraft case? And even if Princess Yangshi had an affair with Gongsun Jingsheng, she shouldn't be sentenced to death..."

"It's still witchcraft!"

"Your Majesty believed those cruel officials who wanted to use witchcraft to harm him, so he did not hesitate to kill the descendants of the meritorious officials."

"Or did His Majesty need this result a long time ago, and he chose to turn a blind eye to the process, deliberately condoning it and wanting to kill his own daughter?"

"Grandson Jing!"

Even though they had heard Liu Jing recite the "Vow Returning Memorial" before, Bing Ji and Bao Shengzhi were still so shocked that their faces changed drastically when they heard these words at such a close distance!

They were terrified and even thought of not daring to stay here.

"Good! Good! Good! I dare not refuse the emperor's grandson. The files are in the Supreme Court. Emperor Jing can go and find them himself..."

"We have only now realized that the Emperor Jing's grandson is not simply trying to abolish the charges of witchcraft, but is really trying to overturn the verdicts for Gongsun He, Wei Kang, and even the two princesses!"

"But I, Bing Ji, still want to warn the emperor's grandson... This case cannot be touched! It cannot be investigated!"

Having said this.

Bing Ji actually took big strides and was about to leave the court.

"I will go to see Your Majesty right now. I will go to Your Majesty right now..."

And Bao Shengzhi also hurriedly followed.

"Grandson Jing really has no respect for his emperor."

At this moment, Dong Gongzhong and Mang Tong also reacted from their previous "stun".

The two of them still had somewhat horrified expressions, and they looked at Liu Jing as if he were a madman.

"I have heard of you before, but it is better to meet you today. I was so foolish that I wanted to make friends with Grandson Jing. Thank you very much... Thank you very much for not making friends with me..."

His words seemed to be truly full of apologies. After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and fled away.

"Master, please slow down..."

"Why are you so slow? Let's go! Let's go! I'm going to find His Majesty too! Let's ask him who he found... What he did, is he trying to turn Chang'an upside down?"

……

I watched the four of them leave one after another.

Liu Jing did not stop them. He looked around and found that the officials from the Supreme Court were all hiding aside and did not dare to step forward.

Liu Jing went to look for the files himself...

……

But Liu Jing didn't know that as his order was issued.

Chang'an at this moment was already in chaos.

Wherever Lu Jie and Yan Sheng ordered their troops to go, all the noble houses were in chaos.

"Your Majesty only talks about witchcraft and expelling witches. When did you say to expel fortune-tellers?"

"Master Li in my palace once sent elixirs to Your Majesty. Your Majesty couldn't let him go. How dare you?"

"Someone, get out of here!"

"Go, go, go! I want to see if holding a token is really lawless. I'm going to see His Majesty..."

Roars were heard from all the princes’ residences, and soon, a crowd of ministers gathered on the road to the Weiyang Palace.

Seeing that the number of our people is increasing.

Everyone is more confident.

After a while, the momentum has become overwhelming!

……

At the same time, in Weiyang Palace, in front of Emperor Liu Che.

Bao Shengzhi, Bing Ji, Lian Dong Gongzhong and others all came here.

"He wants to get to the bottom of this. Not only does he want to reopen Gongsun He's case, but he also wants to reopen the cases of Wei Kang, Cao Zong, and even the princess?"

Liu Che was looking at the file in front of him. When he heard what they said this time, his eyes were already bloodshot.

"Your Majesty has done more than that..." Bing Ji knelt down in fear and said hurriedly, "Grandson Jing also said that your Majesty was also involved in this case."

"He said... it was all because your majesty appointed cruel officials who were eager for quick success and instant benefits, and they carried out bloody murders when they found witchcraft. He also said that it was possible that... your majesty deliberately condoned it and wanted this result..."

"This minister is really..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud "clang".

But Liu Che threw the file in his hand away and stood up suddenly.

"What else did he say?"

Tingwei Bingji looked up and down again, as if he was frightened by what was to come. "He also said... Your Majesty deliberately harmed his daughter."

Boom!
But at this moment, Liu Che seemed to be very angry. He staggered and was about to fall. It was only when he suddenly grabbed the low table that he managed to stabilize himself!
He gritted his teeth and roared out four words.

"Evil son! Evil grandson!"
