Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 111 The First Trial
The jailer was stunned to see the three of them leaving in such a swaggering manner, a young guard couldn't help but whispered, "Just let them go like this?"

"That's right, there are so many prisoners to watch." Another jailer also muttered.

"If you have the ability, you two go and keep them!" The leading jailer cursed angrily. He didn't even have any vision. He had been with me for so many years and tried his best to make himself feel uncomfortable.

"Watch whatever you want, just go back and stay!" The two people who were being trained could only vent to the prisoner who was watching the excitement.

"Boss Xiong, take your people back! Could it be that you want to make trouble too?" The jailer frowned and asked loudly.He looked at Xiazi Xiong in dissatisfaction, his eyes were full of blame - what did you do, not only did you not punish Li Ce, but you actually made him make such a ridiculous thing.

"Hurry up and report it." The leading jailer kicked the young guard unexpectedly, cursing.

"Yes, yes!" The jailer took the order and ran out in a hurry.

"Master Xiong, let's go back too." A rogue whispered.

Xiong Xiazi took a deep breath, turned around and walked back, he was intimidated by the momentum of Di Qing and Guan Zhen just now, master!Absolute master!One is restrained and the other is domineering!Among other things, just seeing that these two people can break open the prison door effortlessly with their hands alone, it is enough to show that the two people have solid skills in their hands, and it is absolutely impossible for them to do it themselves.And these two people seem to listen to that white-faced boy very much, it's over, I got into trouble this time...

On the other side, the young jailer went to inform Xu Shan, and Xu Shan rushed over angrily and scolded those jailers severely. plate.These idiots have long been told not to act without authorization, and now they have turned out to be moths, what a bunch of idiots!
When Xu Shan came to play the report, He Ruinian was eating breakfast, and immediately dropped the bowl and chopsticks, a bunch of idiots!He immediately decided to interrogate Li Ce today.

He Ruinian's original intention was to lock up Li Ce for a few days first, because he wanted to kill his spirit, and second, he wanted to torture him, not only physically, but also mentally. He just wanted him to be worried all the time. It's not the moment of beheading, but the knife hanging over your head, which may fall at any time, but you don't know when it will fall. This is called killing with a blunt knife.

But now his wishful thinking was wrong. Not only did Li Ce not suffer in prison, but he also turned the prison upside down. He Ruinian finally lost his patience. He just wanted to kill him immediately to vent his anger. Hatred!This kid is just a loach, he can survive wherever he is placed, he will have long nights and dreams, so it is better to solve it as soon as possible.

When the three of Li Ce were brought to the criminal court, there were already many people in the courtroom. He glanced at Tang Jin, He Ruinian, He Fucun, Xu Shan, Wang Youcai, Sun Zhi and others.

Because it was a trial in the Prosecution Division, Tang Jin, the Chief Prosecution Division, naturally became the presiding judge, and He Ruinian and the others were just jurors and monitors.

The purpose of setting up the Xing prison department in the Northern Song Dynasty was to supervise the local Xing prisons and redress unjust, false and wrong cases, which is somewhat similar to the local supreme courts in later generations.

Tang Jin is the prisoner on Hebei West Road. He is about forty years old. He is white and fat, with a short beard under his jaw. Every time he speaks, he can't help but stroke it with his hands twice, as if thinking deeply. .

Tang Jin looked sideways at He Ruinian respectfully first, seeing He Ruinian nodded slightly, he turned around and stroked his short beard, glared at Li Ce, suddenly his expression changed, he slapped the gavel, and shouted loudly: " Brave prisoner, why don't you kneel when you see this officer!" The rapid change of expression before and after was really jaw-dropping.

As soon as Li Ce saw Tang Jin's obsequiousness towards He Ruinian, he knew that the two were of the same breed, and he didn't expect him to uphold justice at the moment.

"Why kneel?" Li Ce raised his head and asked back.He has already made up his mind, since they interrogated him today, he must have already made arrangements. He is already passive, and he must not be led by them again. He dare not say that he wants to take the initiative, but at least he must disrupt their plans. Arrangement, the simple and effective way is to mess around first.

"Bold! You dare to despise the court. When I go to the court, the prisoner must kneel down when he sees the presiding judge. You look like a scholar. Don't you even know this?" Tang Jin put on airs, It seems that he has memorized these rhetoric by heart.

"My lord, you just said that it is the prisoner kneeling in the hall, and I am not a prisoner, why should I kneel?" Li Ce suddenly smiled, grasping the loophole in Tang Jin's words, and asked back.

"Hmph, nonsense, if you're not a prisoner, why are you locked up here to serve as a prison officer?" Tang Jin was a little disdainful, I have seen such things a lot, boy, you are playing tricks on me, you are still a little tender.

"He locked me up here." Li Ce suddenly pointed at He Ruinian and said loudly.

He Ruinian got angry and was about to explode, but he sneered, endured it, and ignored him.

"Then you still dare to say that you are not a criminal? Aren't you contradicting yourself, kid?" Tang Jin looked convinced of him, waiting to see Li Ce manage his poor words.

"Master Tang, you mean that Master He thinks I'm guilty, so he locks me up here?" Li Ce didn't answer him, and asked deliberately.

Tang Jin sneered and said, "Of course, would Mr. He wrong you?" He was already a little impatient.

"Of course I was wronged!" Li Ce said firmly.

"Bold! You have repeatedly disturbed the court, and you still don't kneel down!" Tang Jin was furious. This kid was so messed up that he couldn't reason with him.

"Wait! My lord, I have one last word." Li Ce raised his hand suddenly and said loudly.

"Hmph!" Tang Jin snorted coldly, signaling him to finish.

"Master Tang, you have always been wise. I have long heard that you preside over the Xing Prison Division. You have always been stern and selfless. You only recognize the law but not people. Do you think so?" Said to Tang Jin with a serious look.

"That's natural." Tang Jin said subconsciously. He was a little complacent when he heard Li Ce praise him, and said to himself: Now you know how to be soft, you know how to flatter me, but don't you say something nice? Will you let me go?

"Okay, your lord is indeed wise!" Li Ce gave a thumbs up suddenly, and deliberately shouted praises to the left and right.

Di Qing and Guan Zhen were a little confused by him. They looked at him full of doubts, not knowing whether to nod or shake their heads.

"That's it. Master He thinks I'm guilty, but the law hasn't found me guilty yet, so I'm not a criminal yet. Since I'm not a criminal, there's no need to kneel." Li Ce frowned and made a deliberate gesture. He looked helpless, and anyone who looked at him couldn't help but slap him.

Di Qing and Guan Zhen were taken aback for a moment, turned their heads to look at Li Ce, and secretly gave him a thumbs up, what a talent.

But Tang Jin hadn't reacted yet, what the hell was this kid talking about, what the hell did he say, he angrily scolded: "Master He says you are guilty, you are guilty, let me knock him down left and right !"

"Master Tang, do you mean that Mr. He is more powerful than the laws of the Song Dynasty? He said that whoever is guilty is guilty? Then Mr. He is Wang Fa?" Li Ce saw that the left and right yamen servants were coming to arrest him.Asked loudly.

"You..." Tang Jin was at a loss for words for a moment, and couldn't help turning his head to look at He Ruinian. He Ruinian's face was already gloomy and terrifying.

Tang Jin was in a cold sweat for a moment, he was obviously angry seeing Mr. He like that, but what should he do now?If Li Ce is forced to kneel down, wouldn't it be an admission that Mr. He is arbitrary and despises the laws of the Song Dynasty.But if he was not allowed to kneel, it would be tantamount to admitting that he was right, wouldn't he be ashamed?Besides, this has never happened before.

When he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, He Ruinian finally couldn't help coughing twice, and said expressionlessly: "The trial is the most important thing, don't delay." Jin was annoyed, this idiot, repeatedly entangled with Li Ce on such insignificant matters, and even brought himself into it. Fortunately, he has been a criminal officer for so many years, and he has lived on a dog!

Tang Jin got the instruction, hurriedly wiped off his cold sweat, and said bitterly: "Okay, I don't care about you for the time being."

"On the battlefield, what crime should you commit against your superiors and coerce your superiors?" Tang Jin asked sharply.

Li Ce wanted to deny it, but there were so many people watching at that time, it was really impossible to deny it, so he simply admitted it.

"At that time, the situation was urgent, Mr. He did not give the order for a long time, I had no choice but to make this move, but the final result proved that I was correct. Our army won a complete victory, confronted the Liao army head-on, and did not lose the wind. But it's not common." Li Ce argued.

"Hmph, even your eloquent tongue can't cover up your disobedience and disrespect. The following crime, you actually hijacked Mr. Jinglue envoy. Who knows what your intentions are, I think it's more like a spy of the Liao army!" Tang Jinyi He slapped the table and sneered, secretly proud of himself.He has always been good at creating something out of nothing, as long as you have a slight flaw, I can magnify it a hundred times for you!
"If you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to worry about it. You can say whatever you want. I have nothing to say when you label a lowly official like this. What kind of trial is still going on like this? My lord will just open my mouth and give me a random sentence." Isn't the crime over?" Li Ce mocked deliberately.

Tang Jin didn't want to make a fuss, he said with a sinister smile: "I knew you would say that, come and bring witnesses."

Li Ce panicked, no good, it must be Xu Shan.

Sure enough, Xu Shan turned around from one side, pointed at Li Ce and said loudly: "Li Ce, don't try to quibble. At that time, you threatened Mr. He's life. There are at least a dozen people present today who can testify. You still want to deny it, hum , A real man dares to do something, but he dare not admit it, and he dare not admit it when he is still here."

Li Ce cursed in his heart: "Damn, you want my life, so you don't allow me to struggle." He had no idea at this time, after all, he couldn't justify himself under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Huh, have you nothing to say? Don't worry, I have not only witnesses, but also physical evidence. Come and present the murder weapon." Tang Jin became more and more complacent, and he liked to see the prisoner's despair, the more the prisoner was afraid , the more excited he is, he is really a little psychopathic.

A yamen servant was carrying a plate with a bronze dagger on it, which was Li Ce's dagger.

"What else do you have to say?" Tang Jin sneered, looking at Li Ce like a cat playing with a mouse.

"My lord, my senior brother really had no other choice at the time. His foster father's life was at stake, and Mr. He refused to open the city gate. We begged him for a long time but couldn't do it. That's why..." Guan Zhen took a step forward to defend in a panic.

"Bold, did I ask you something? When will it be your turn to speak in the courtroom!" Before Guan Zhen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Jin's yell, and Guan Zhen had no choice but to back away angrily.

Guan Zhen and Di Qing looked at each other, and they both turned their heads to look at Li Ce, hoping that he could explain a few more words, Li Ce smiled helplessly, the evidence was solid, no matter how much he could say, it would be of no avail, besides, there is no one in charge today. A person who wants to reverse the case for himself, wants to confuse the past, it is difficult!
