But if Fang Jun is really released, it seems a little reckless.

In the final analysis, although the "Three Law Divisions" are the highest judicial bodies in the Tang Dynasty, how can they not take into account the will of His Majesty the Emperor in a society where imperial power is supreme? The "Three Law Divisions" can be denied by the six relatives, but the "Three Divisions" are human beings......

There were endless debates in the lobby of the Criminal Department, and there was still no conclusion until the end of the unitary period and the beginning of the unitary period.

Fang Jun listened silently at first, but later became impatient, so he sat cross-legged beside Cheng Wuting.

Cheng Wuting was placed in the hall lying on the door panel, looking a little sluggish, but he was still conscious. Although Wei Yijie instructed the officials to torture him to extract a confession, he had scruples in the end, and only used some punishments that could bring severe pain to force Cheng Wuting to confess, and did not dare to use those methods that were extremely damaging to the skin and internal organs......

Therefore, although Cheng Wuting's injury is serious, as long as it is properly adjusted, it should not leave any irreparable sequelae.

It stands to reason that Cheng Wuting should be taken back to prison for custody at this moment, but Wei Yijie is now weak and anxious, and he only cares about how to convict Fang Jun with the three envoys, where can he take care of Cheng Wuting, who is already useless?

The rest of the officials saw that Fang Jun had been staying by Cheng Wuting's side, so they naturally ignored Cheng Wuting's existence.

After all, the treatment of returning to prison is not necessarily better than that of being in the lobby......

Cheng Wu looked at Fang Jun weakly, his mouth squirmed, and he muttered, "Fu Yin...... I'm sorry, it's my subordinates who are reckless......"

In the final analysis, this incident was caused by his reckless tampering with records and stealing evidence. If it weren't for his action of "no silver three hundred taels here", even if Fang Jun's jade pendant really appeared at the scene of the murder, it might not be much trouble.

Fang Jun laughed in a low voice: "If you don't do anything, how can you see through people's hearts?" Although your actions have made a certain person fall into passivity, and it is even possible that someone will frame and frame him, but he is grateful, you are an iron-clad man! Being able to get a certain friendship with some flesh and skin suffering is also your creation. You must know that the friendship of Chang'an's No. 1 mallet is not something anyone can get if they want to, you are blessed! ”

The corners of Cheng Wuting's mouth twitched, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

How narcissistic are you to say such shameless things?

But...... My heart is warm, and it's really useful.

Cheng Wuting didn't forget the scene when Fang Jun wanted to bow down and confess when he saw him being tortured. To be able to let such a proud person lower his head is indeed something that he should be proud of.

Death for a confidant!

can make Fang Jun give up his backbone, even if he really dies, what is the pity?

After moving a little, the severe pain in his body made Cheng Wuting grin for a while.

Fang Jun hurriedly reassured: "It's so good to lie down, don't move." ”

Cheng Wuting gasped, his face distorted because of the pain, and said: "These guys are so boring, either convict or release, such a fight and hesitation, even the women in the market are inferior to ......"

Fang Jun said in a low voice: "Where is it so easy? No one wants to bear the consequences, they all want to live a peaceful life, even if they are the three envoys, they must abide by the rules of officialdom, they are all a group of bureaucrats...... Such a group of people, no matter how powerful the law gives them, are just a group of echoes without a backbone. ”

He was disappointed.

At first, the "three magistrates" were able to interrogate him regardless of the emperor's face, and His Majesty the emperor refused to interfere with the judiciary with imperial power, which made him quite relieved, thinking that he had seen the shadow of the separation of powers......

But now it seems that they are clearly trying to figure out the holy will, and no one is willing to rashly express their stance before they have touched the emperor's true heart......

In the era of the supremacy of imperial power, the court controlled by such a group of bureaucrats who were born in a family or bent by the imperial power, there was no separation of powers and no judicial independence......

If we really want the rule of law to completely replace the rule of man, there is still too long and too long way to go.

The road is long, and I will go up and down to seek......

Cheng Wuting was a little impatient: "How long will you fight for such an argument?" ”

"It's coming."

"What's coming soon?"

"They are just waiting for the emperor, as long as the emperor comes, no matter what intentions they express, these people will not continue to argue."

Cheng Wu was puzzled: "Those who want to frame you, how can they give up so easily?" ”

Fang Jun raised his head and glanced at the dark sky outside, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little weird: "They don't want to give up...... But it's up to them. ”

Cheng Wuting was confused......

At this moment, I don't know who suddenly exclaimed: "Look! It's on fire! ”

The argument in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone raised their heads to look out.

I saw that the night sky in the east was already faintly lit up with a red light, almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a while, half of the sky was lit up red.

Liu Xun gasped: "It's Dongshi!" ”

The east and west cities are the most prosperous and prosperous places in Chang'an, with shops in the city like clouds and storefronts, bringing together rare goods from all over China and abroad. Because it is a crowded place where businessmen gather, the probability of a fire is extremely high, but all the residents of Chang'an are not surprised, if it is not burned several times a year, it is a strange thing......

However, fires of this magnitude are extremely rare, which means that a large number of goods will be burned to the ground, and countless merchant servants will die in the fire.

The first thought of the officials was: Jing Zhaoyin is going to be unlucky......

Then the second thought was: It is not necessarily Jing Zhaoyin who is unlucky, because Jing Zhaoyin is being interrogated in this court at the moment......

Most of the officials in the hall couldn't sit still.

The East Market is a place where the family gate valve and the royal family and nobles buy money, and the business is booming, so almost every shop has the shadow of the family door valve behind it, participating in the feast of sharing this fat pastry.

At present, in the late winter and early spring, the river has not yet been civilized, and the value of goods outside cannot be transported into the customs, so a large amount of goods and property are gathered in the East Market, and this fire is very likely to burn most of the industry of a certain family......

Many officials who hoarded a large amount of goods in the shops in the East Market had grass growing in their hearts, and wanted to scold Fang Jun, how did Jing Zhaoyin, do it, but they couldn't even do ordinary fire prevention measures, making the scale of the fire so large...... But then he dispelled this idea, Fang Jun has been detained for several days, and now his official position may not be kept, where do you care if you are on fire?

Maybe this mallet is relieving his hatred in his heart at the moment, and it's embarrassing for Lao Tzu, right? A fire is especially good for you to burn clean......

Let the fox be like sitting on pins and needles.

Dongshi is one of the centers of handicraft production and commercial trade in Chang'an City, with shops and merchants clustered nearby. The shops that produce and sell the same kind of goods in the city are arranged in the same area, called rows; The inn where the goods are stacked is called a house.

The Di not only stored goods for merchants, but also handled large wholesale transactions for them.

The Linghu family operates two mansions in the East Market that store and deal in silk......

In this era, silk was an extremely expensive alternative to currency circulating in the market. The Linghu family's mansion is the largest in the East Market, and there are countless silks stored in the mansion and in place of other merchants, and the quantity is extremely large, and silk is the most flammable......

Ling Hu Dedi couldn't imagine that if his own mansion suffered such a fire, not counting his own losses, the payment for the rest of the merchants alone would be an astronomical amount.

Compared with the money paid to the Fang family a few days ago, it is simply a small thing, and half of the belongings are gone......

The old man's eyes were dazed for a while, and his heart was anxious, and he wanted to go back to see the situation, but the current situation was not good for him to leave the table without permission......

Just as he was in a trance, he suddenly heard a sharp voice shouting: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

There was chaos in the hall all of a sudden, and all the officials left their seats one after another, and walked quickly to the door to line up left and right, greeting the holy driver!

His Majesty Li Er stepped in with his head held high and sat down in the middle of the officials on both sides, and then said with a calm face: "All the secretaries, don't be formal." ”
