Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 672 Chang'an Murder Incident

Zhen Mi, who was shopping outside Chang'an City, was very happy, but in Weiyang Palace, Liu Xie, the emperor, looked tired and hopeless.Less than five steps away from him, the Empress Dahan was lazily combing her makeup.She coiled her black hair, and her movements were indescribably charming. Liu Xie saw that her skirt was slightly opened, and she could see a piece of snow-white.

But Fushou saw Liu Xie's gaze when facing the bronze mirror, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but a lazy and happy smile.But Liu Xie also saw Fushou's smile in the bronze mirror, and immediately turned his eyes away in fright.Afterwards, his right hand touched the jade-inlaid Bu Yao on the dragon couch, got up and put it on the couch and handed it to Fushou, "Shou'er, is there any interesting news in Chang'an City?"

"It's nothing." Fushou's eyes seemed to become a little mischievous for a moment, and he turned his head to help Liu Xie change his clothes and said, "I heard that the Zhonglang general Liu Fan has organized a vegetable garden in the mansion these days. A while ago On this day, I even sent some melons and fruits to my concubine, which seemed to indicate that I was going to cultivate myself behind closed doors."

Liu Xie couldn't help but smile at this news, he really didn't expect everyone in the old Liu family to be so interesting.In history, Liu Bei lived under Cao Cao's command, which is also what happened.But the problem is that Liu Bei was born in the bottom of the poor, and building a vegetable garden is considered a return to the profession.Liu Fan is such a well-fed guy, he also pretends to be farming.Could it be that in ancient times, farming, studying and self-cultivation were so respected and loved?

After arranging Liu Xie's robes, Fu Shou patted Liu Xie's collar reluctantly.The longing and happiness overflowing from those eyes once again made Liu Xie tremble.

But there is no way, even though Liu Xie is a real iron-blooded man, after several times of calcination in Fushou's fiery furnace.Not only did Liu Xie's heart become soft, but his body was as weak as cooked noodles.

No wonder people in previous lives always said that there are only exhausted oxen and no plowed fields.Liu Xie couldn't understand why a man who is strong and strong always has insufficient strength, while a daughter who is as soft as water can last forever...

Thinking of today's absurdity, Liu Xie felt that he was absurd.Originally, he deliberately took advantage of today's time to deal with the internal ban and external court to come to Fushou to have a frank and relative talk about the issue of heirs, so as to untie Fushou's knot in his heart.But he really underestimated Fushou, because just after negotiating for less than a stick of incense, he and Fushou faced each other honestly in a real sense.

However, after the married couple, most of the disputes ended in this way.What's more, this topic of discussion is too easy to go to this step.

Recalling that Fushou was panicked and shy and tabooed that it was daytime, Liu Xie said cheaply, "It's okay, Shouer, it will be dark when you close your eyes...".At this time, Liu Xie had only one feeling in his heart: women are really, really scary.Sangong Sixth Hospital or something, that is really looking for death!
But now, looking at Fushou's unsatisfactory eyes, Liu Xie can only quickly change the subject again, calling Leng Shouguang outside the door to come to the rescue: "Leng Shouguang, what more interesting things have you heard in Chang'an City recently?" thing?"

"More interesting things?" As soon as Leng Shouguang heard this, he knew that Liu Xie already knew about Liu Fan.After a little thought, he opened his mouth and said: "There was a murder case on Xuanwu Street, which is not very interesting. But the subsequent trial was very interesting. Mr. Dong, the left supervisor of Ting Wei, and Mr. Cui Lie, who returned to Chang'an, quarreled. Get up. It is said that Mr. Cui was so angry that he scolded Dong Zhao, and Dong Zhao seemed to be devastated because of this incident, which made him offend his boss, Mr. Wen Zheng."

"Oh? That's strange. What is it that caused these three people to be so merciless?" Liu Xie was immediately attracted by this matter. The case is a bit strange.

You must know that although Tingwei is in charge of the world's prisons, just like the Supreme Court of later generations, he will not easily participate in the review of prisons, unless it is a major case personally handed over by the emperor Liu Xie.If someone in Chang'an kills someone, he only needs to report it to the Ting Wei and wait for Qiu Hou to execute him.Generally speaking, as long as the evidence is conclusive and there is no major doubt, the Ting Wei will approve the case.

"It's not that Master Tingwei Dong didn't approve the case, but because he strictly ordered the perpetrator to be beheaded, and disregarded Lord Wen Zheng's order, he personally supervised and beheaded the prisoner. That's why Lord Cui Lie and Lord Wen Zheng were offended. To be annoyed, it is said that these two are planning to impeach Lord Dong Zhao at the court meeting."

Leng Shouguang's explanation made Liu Xie even more confused, and Fu Shou on the side was gradually attracted by this matter.Leng Shouguang saw the expressions of the emperor and the queen, and couldn't help explaining quickly: "This case is not complicated. It is said that the two are friends. One of them is good at raising parrots, and the other didn't know it was a joke when he visited his house today. Anyway, he ran to the downtown with a birdcage in his arms. The man chased him with a knife, and then he didn’t know whether it was manslaughter or on purpose, and he killed the friend who snatched the birdcage with a single knife in the downtown.”

"Murder in the streets, the people in the past are vividly remembered, such a case can be dealt with like this. Why did it end up with Ting Wei? Then it also provoked the two adults of Ting Wei, plus a former Mr. Ting Wei? "Fu Shou also heard the strangeness of this matter. Although she didn't know much about Han laws, she also knew that Gaozu Liu Bang and the people in Guanzhong had three chapters in the law. Now 'killer dies' is the most simple and clear one.

"The Queen's words are very true. That's what Ting Wei and Mr. Dong decided. But in fact, when Jing Zhaoyin reported this case to Ting Wei, there were two different judgments. Among them, two people Friends turn against each other."

"Oh?" Liu Xie became more interested now, and Fushou couldn't imagine that there was a story in it, so he couldn't help urging: "Tell me, tell me quickly."

"In these two judgments, one was requested by County Captain Jing Zhaoyin to be executed, and the other was requested by Master Jing Zhaoyin and Zhang Shi to be exempted from guilt. It is said that such cases should be reported by Master Jing Zhaoyin himself, but that The county lieutenant refused to accept Jing Zhaoyin's judgment, so he sent a judgment to the court lieutenant privately. Because of this matter, Jing Zhaoyin has already cut seats with his friend of the county lieutenant."

"Then Master Dong Zhao read the two verdicts and chose the one to be executed. After Wen Zheng and Cui Lie learned about it, they reprimanded Dong Zhao for taking human life. As a result, Master Dong Zhao personally supervised and beheaded the verdict ahead of time. prisoner."

"Why do Jing Zhaoyin, Wen Zheng, Cui Lie and others think that the prisoner should not be killed?" After listening for a long time, Fu Shou finally understood the crux of the problem.She didn't understand why the three of them would protect the prisoner in such a simple and clear case.

"Back to the queen, Jing Zhaoyin and Zhang Shi didn't mean to protect. He just felt that the murderer was angry and killed, which was very likely to be manslaughter, so he asked for a lighter sentence. But after discussions between Lord Wen Zheng and Lord Cui Lie, they came up with a different plan." They think that the person first robbed the prisoner’s birdcage, which is regarded as stealing property, and the prisoner’s pursuit with a knife belongs to protecting property and hurting others, so he should be innocent according to the Han law.”

Now Fu Shou hesitated.It seems that Wen Zheng and Cui Lie's views are not unreasonable.Her previous firmness became shaken by this reason, and then she couldn't help but turned her head and asked Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, which one do you think is right or wrong in this matter?"

Liu Xie smiled helplessly: "Both parties have reason. Wen Zheng and Cui Lie are modest gentlemen who pay attention to governing the world with benevolence. That's why they will forgive the crimes of prisoners. However, it is precisely because of this that they cannot succeed. My confidants can only be used by my foreign ministers..."

"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Fu Shou was even more puzzled, his crescent eyebrows furrowed, as if he disliked Liu Xie's cold and heartless side.

"Because heavy codes must be used in troubled times!" Liu Xie's face was a little painful, but he still explained: "The law of the Han Dynasty was so complete later that it was gradually supplemented under the rule of Wenjing and the prosperous dynasty. But the situation is different now. Zheng and Cui Lie just didn't see through this point. But Dong Zhao saw through my mind. He knew that once this person was lightly spared, the prosperous Chang'an would become a hotbed for thieves and scoundrels, and the prestige and laws of the Han Dynasty might become Empty text. That's why he would rather offend his boss and Cui Lie than kill the prisoner in advance."

Fu Shou sighed quietly, and sat back in front of the dressing table in a low mood.At this moment, she was no longer interested in Liu Xie.But Liu Xie looked at Leng Shouguang with a regretful face, and still said that sentence: "Leng Shouguang, your news really spoils the scenery."

Of course Leng Shouguang prostrated himself on the ground, begging for forgiveness.Liu Xie also knew that it wasn't Leng Shouguang's fault, so he waved his hand and said, "It's been a while since I've had private visits in WeChat. I didn't expect that Chang'an's downtown is so noisy. I'm also feeling a little depressed at the moment, why don't I just go for a walk in the market... "
