The snow has stopped, the piles on the streets have been cleared off the road, and the snow in front of the yamen of the criminal department has been shoveled up and loaded into trucks and transported elsewhere.

Today, Qiu Junxi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, personally went out to try Song Shanhe.

In fact, this case is not complicated, the Warden Department is responsible for the supply of horses, Song Shanhe is in his own hands, he is full of private pockets, it was found that he fed the official horses with inferior horse feed, and the businessmen who colluded with him to sell inferior horse feed have already testified in court, and provided sufficient evidence, and several officials in the Warden Office also testified in court.

The Criminal Department has recently tried many cases of this kind with conclusive evidence.

Although Qiu Junhui made a sharp move, what people have to admire is that before the criminal department arrests people, they must have mastered the full evidence of the criminal officer, whether it is human evidence or physical evidence, it can be mentioned in the court at any time, and the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and there is no room for refutation.

In a case like this, generally speaking, as soon as the human and material evidence is revealed, the criminal officer has nothing to say, signs and draws the detention, and then puts him on death row, and then he will be beheaded every few days, which is very smooth.

But today it's a little different.

In the lobby of the Criminal Department, Qiu Junhui was still sitting in the position of the chief judge, but he looked very restrained, and there were two princes of Daqin sitting on the left and right sides of the lobby.

On the left is the crown prince of the current dynasty in a red brocade suit, and he is also the current prison state, with great power, and the right head is the king of Qi Yingren in a dark purple brocade suit, with a jade belt in a brocade suit and a jewel.

The prince was still in a wheelchair, and behind him was Tian Hou, the commander of the prince's palace guards.

The prince was calm, Tian Hou was expressionless, and although Qi Wang Yingren tried his best to calm down, his eyes looked out of the hall from time to time.

The trial of this case has come to an end, at the beginning, Song Shanhe saw the King of Qi coming, as a member of the Qi Wang Party, he also had hope, only thought that the King of Qi could rescue himself from the knife today.

But from beginning to end, King Qi didn't say much, the most important thing is that the evidence provided by the Criminal Department is really ironclad, and it cannot be overturned at all.

After the official of the Criminal Department dragged Song Shanhe down, the prince looked at King Qi and said with a smile: "Yingren, you witnessed today's trial, and you have no more doubts in your heart, right?" Don't believe what those small people say, they tell you that Qiu Shangshu tried the case unfairly and tortured him to extract confessions, just because they are afraid of Qiu Shangshu's fairness, honesty and selflessness. On the torture hall today, Qiu Shangshu is experienced in his speech and demeanor, and he is reasonable, and he has never done the slightest physical harm to the criminal officer, and the so-called torture to extract confessions is self-defeating. ”

Qiu Junhui looked upright, got up and said: "The prison country, the auxiliary country, the subordinate officials are favored by the saints, and they manage the criminal department, and they only think about maintaining the law and order and eliminating the scum hidden in the court. The lower officials must have all the human and material evidence, be cautious and cautious in accordance with the procedures of torture, and never dare to be sloppy in the slightest. ”

The prince waved his hand and said with a smile: "Qiu Shangshu enforces the law impartially, this palace sees it in his eyes, what are you guilty of?" Xiang Qi asked the king of Qi, "Yingren, what do you say?" ”

King Qi got up and bowed his hand to the crown prince: "What the prince's brother said is that it is all those young people who talk nonsense. Inviting the prince's brother to watch the trial today also happened to clear the rumors of Qiu Shangshu's unfair trial. ”

"That's very good." The crown prince nodded and said: "Father and the emperor are on a northern tour, and I will entrust the affairs of the court to you and me, but the state affairs are full of sweat, how can you and I be able to deal with it?" In the final analysis, we still have to rely on Qiu Shangshu, the pillar of the imperial court, to support us, they are all old people who seek the country, dedicated to the public, those young people are afraid, and they are slandered in the back, that is not an incomprehensible thing, Yingren, you say yes? ”

"What the prince's brother said is extremely true." King Qi was busy, but his heart was anxious, it was already noon, but the drum of grievances outside the criminal department still did not sound.

The big drum placed outside the criminal department, known as the heavenly drum, is not a great grievance, and the drum cannot be easily beaten, and as soon as the drum sounds, the criminal department must also immediately start the trial.

The prince smiled slightly, and then said: "It's already noon, and there are still many things to deal with, Tian Hou, let's go back to the house first." Yingren, there are many court affairs, you can also go to the yamen of various ministries to take a look. ”

When King Qi saw that the prince was leaving, he was in a hurry, as soon as the prince left, the next good show would not be able to sing brilliantly, and he secretly wondered if something was wrong?

Seeing that Tian Hou was already pushing a wheelchair to leave, Qiu Junhui and other officials from the Criminal Department also bowed down to see each other, King Qi was anxious, and couldn't help but lose his voice: "Brother Prince, wait a minute......!" ”

The wheelchair stopped, and the prince turned around, "What else is going on?" ”

"That ......!" King Qi's heart was in turmoil, but fortunately, he was not stupid, and said busily: "The court is complicated, and the prince's brother has every opportunity, so he must take care of his health." ”

The prince smiled mildly and said: "You also have to take care of your body, don't be too tired, these days, you have lost a lot of weight, but don't wait for your father and mother to return to Beijing and see you lose weight, but you have to blame the palace for not taking good care of you." ”

King Qi smiled reluctantly, he hadn't heard the sound of the drum, and he only felt that something must have happened in his heart, and this great opportunity could only be lost by worshipping and worshipping.

Tian Hou pushed the wheelchair forward again, and when he arrived at the main entrance of the lobby, he suddenly heard a "knock...... Boom...... The drum sound of "Dong ......" sounded, and King Qi's original disappointed and frustrated mood suddenly disappeared, and he lost his voice: "Drum...... Drumbeat......! ”

The crown prince frowned, Qiu Junhui had already stepped forward and said to King Qi: "Fuguo, that's the heavenly drum, someone is crying out for grievances, as soon as the heavenly drum sounds, the trial must be ......!" ”

"Even so, we don't bother." The prince said: "Yingren, let's go, don't delay Qiu Shangshu's trial!" ”

King Qi walked quickly to the prince's side, tried his best to calm down, and said: "Brother Prince, I heard that this heavenly drum should not be easily beaten, and when the heavenly drum is sounded, there will be a great grievance. ”

"You want to stay and watch the trial?"

"Brother Prince, if it is really a great grievance, Brother Prince, as a prisoner, may be able to avenge them." King Qi said: "Brother Prince, it's rare for the heavenly drum to sound, look at ......!" ”

The prince stared at Yingren, groaned slightly, and then said: "Yingren, there are many state affairs, and the criminal department has its own criminal department to deal with it, if it is a matter that must be done in person, not only can we not take care of it thoroughly, but also make it difficult for the officials of the ministries and yamen to hold their own ......!" ”

"Brother Prince, if it were a weekday, naturally he wouldn't have come over to hear the trial, but now that we are here, we have a big grievance to enter the court for interrogation, so why not listen to what is going on?"

The prince stared at Yingren and asked again, "Do you really want to hear the trial?" ”

"Everything is up to the prince's brother!" King Qi's eyebrows couldn't hide his attitude of staying.

The prince sighed, turned around, and motioned for Tian Hou to push the wheelchair back and continue the trial.

The crown prince and the king of Qi sat back in their positions, Qiu Junhui arched his hand to the two princes, with a plain face, and sat back in the presiding position. ”

After a while, I saw several officials come with two people, these two people are a man and a woman, the man is twenty-three or four years old, and his appearance is very ordinary, but the woman has a slender waist and long legs, very white skin, and a beautiful nose and cherry lips.

The clothes of the two are very ordinary, King Qi only glanced at it, and guessed that this pair of men and women was Chen Guo and his wife, thinking that since it was the woman who was accepted into the room by Qiu Fang, this Qiu Junhui should also know it, squinted his eyes to see Qiu Junhui's expression, only to see Qiu Junhui's eyes wide open, with a solemn face, and he was indeed staring at Chen Guo and his wife, but there was no surprise on his face.

King Qi frowned slightly, secretly wondering why Qiu Junhui didn't change color in the slightest when he saw the daughter-in-law of the Chen family.

But soon he was relieved, according to what Lang Wuxuan said, Qiu Fang was only interested in the Chen family's daughter-in-law, and after snatching it, he was cold for two months, and Qiu Fang did a lot of evil in Qiuju County, these things, not only did he have to hide from the court, but naturally he didn't dare to let Qiu Junhui know the way, and if the daughter-in-law of the Chen family was definitely hidden in the house, it was impossible to let Qiu Junhui know the way, plus Qiu Junhui was in the capital all the year round, and it was rare to go back to his hometown once a year, so naturally he had never seen the daughter-in-law of the Chen family.

Chen Guo and his wife entered the lobby, first looked left and right, and there was a startled "snap" sound, and Qiu Junhui had already shouted in a deep voice: "Who is in the hall?" Still on your knees? ”

Chen Guo and his wife glanced at each other, hesitated, but still knelt down.

"You are beating the drum?" Qiu Junxi asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The man shouted.

Qiu Junhui nodded and asked again, "What grievances do you have?" Why do you want to beat the drums? ”

"I have a great grievance, and I have to knock it." The man tilted his head, "Grass people Chen Guo, Jinling Dao Qiuyun County people's clan, this is the grass people's lowly family, Chen Tian's clan!" ”

King Qi's heart was relieved, and he secretly thought that this was really Chen Guo and his wife, and the time was also very good, and it was not too late, so he suddenly shook his spirits and sat up straight.

"That's weird, you said she was your wife, isn't it now?" Qiu Junzhen frowned.

The man Chen Guo said loudly: "Caomin has always been her wife, but on the day Caomin got married, she ......!" There was a pause, a look of annoyance, but he didn't say anything more.

The woman, Chen Tian, had already lowered her head, and her body trembled slightly.

"If there is a grievance, say that the official is fair and honest, if there is really a grievance, he will definitely make the decision for you and give you justice." Qiu Junhui was righteous and awe-inspiring, and said in a deep voice.

Chen Guo hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "On the day the grass people got married, they were ...... was forcibly defiled, and then forcibly snatched away from the cheap, and his father went to Beijing to file a lawsuit for this matter, but he was murdered in the middle of the road...... The hatred of killing one's father, the hatred of taking one's wife, and the injustice of soaring to the sky, you can only go to Beijing to appeal! ”

"Smack!"

There was a crisp sound, and Qiu Junhui said sharply: "Brilliant day, how can such an unspeakable crime be indulged?" If this matter is serious, this official will definitely make the decision for you? Chen Guo, who is the great evil person you are talking about? Where is this person now? ”——
