Cai Jing was in a daze, from riding a horse to a carriage to a boat, and was delayed on the road for half a month before he could get from Jiangning Mansion to Chang'an. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Different from the excitement and high spirits when he first entered Chang'an, when Cai Jing saw the magnificent walls of Chang'an City again, he was more lonely in his heart.

I don't know what the future holds.

He knew the law by heart, and knew that this time it didn't seem like a big problem, but all this was decided by the emperor, and he said that you have a big crime, is your crime small? How to judge is not a matter of people's words. This is the biggest disadvantage of human rule, if you don't follow the law, you still take it for granted.

Because it was getting late, Cai Jing was thrown into a prison instead of the prison of the Supervision Department. This gave Cai Jing a glimmer of hope. If he is put into prison by the Supervision Department, he will be convicted of being a corrupt official, and at the lightest he will be sentenced to ten or eight years, exiled and degraded to the army, how to torture him. If this goes to the prison, the General Supervision Department will not be able to interfere. All of them were interrogated by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and as long as he confessed his guilt with a good attitude, he was not afraid of being unjust.

"Oh, prisoner, your dinner is here."

The jailer opened the cell door and put the food on the floor.

Cai Jing looked at it and was stunned: this is an unusually sumptuous meal, with chicken, fish, sheep and vegetables.

He also served as an official, so he didn't know that only before the prisoner was killed, the treatment was so good.

Cai Jing was stunned for a long time, but he still couldn't resist the protest in his stomach, he cried and laughed, picked up chopsticks and picked up the rice, like a madman.

"I said, boss, your trick has been tried and tested many times! Look at that official, he was so scared that he couldn't possess his body......"

"Some people don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and they are much more honest when they scare him. The Criminal Department came over and said, let's treat this person well, saying that His Majesty values it the most. We're not doing anything wrong, are we? ”

"Of course, of course, the boss is the wisest!"

"No matter how wise you are, can you be wise enough to surpass Your Majesty?"

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Cai Jing would not have thought that the meal he could eat was just a normal meal. He thought it was a severed head meal, and he ate it so sadly that he even licked the bottom of the bowl. He was complaining to himself, regretting that he didn't listen to Cai Bian's words at the beginning, why did he end up in such a field?

He originally thought that he had just committed something and would not die if he sinned, but he unexpectedly ate a severed head.

"Can't Your Majesty tolerate me? Yes, yes, Your Majesty values businessmen the most, I broke the rules, how can Your Majesty tolerate me? Of course, you have to kill it and then ...... No, isn't Your Majesty the most important law, why don't you act according to common sense at all this time? The thoughts in Cai Jing's heart came one after another, and he fell asleep in a daze.

Half-asleep, he was kicked twice: "Get up, get up, it's time for you to interrogate today, don't pretend to be dead!" ”

The prison was full of pitch black, and Cai Jingjing didn't know what time it was. Since someone said that he would be arraigned, it should be the next day.

"Now, unshackle you, don't even think about running, dozens of my brothers are out with their guys, if you run, we have the right to kill you, understand? Be obedient, follow me, hand it over to the criminal department for arrest, and you'll be fine! This jailer, who seemed to be the leader, repeatedly warned Cai Jing.

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

Cai Jing is in a hurry, where will he take risks? Besides, he is a literati, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, where can he escape?

"It's best if you don't dare, don't tell you that there are no less than 100 thieves and heroes in the green forest who will die in our hands...... Don't rub it off, go fast! ”

Out of the prison, it happened to meet a ray of sunlight, and Cai Jing couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"Messenger, come with us!"

Cai Jing's eyes took a while to get used to it, only to see him catch quickly, looking at him coldly, with a sharp blade around his waist, and his hand pressing the handle of the knife, just like Zhong Kui, with an ugly face. Where did Cai Jing dare to resist, under the coercion of a quick arrest, he slowly walked towards the criminal department.

The prison and the punishment department are just separated by a street, and they can be reached in half an hour.

As soon as Cai Jing arrived, he heard a startled slap inside, and a majestic voice sounded: "Take the suspect to the court!" ”

"Take the suspect to court!"

"Wei ...... Wu ......"

Under the sound of the water and fire sticks constantly smacking the ground, Cai Jing was taken to the court.

Cai Jing fixed his eyes and looked at it, oh, good guy, isn't this Su Shi and Su Zizhan, the new secretary of the Criminal Department! "Old acquaintance!" Cai Jing suddenly felt some hope, he and Su Shi also had a few faces, and they had discussed poetry and songs, calligraphy and ink together, if Su Shi was willing to open the net, he would not necessarily have to cut off his head.

"Do you know what crime you have committed?"

Su Shi changed his heroic face and became extremely serious.

Cai Jing "chuckled" in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "The criminal official has violated the commercial law of the "Dashun Law" and the crime of abusing power for personal gain......

"Very well, since you have confessed your guilt, the official will not say much. Do you know what to do if you commit this sin? Su Shi said coldly, there seemed to be no human touch.

Cai Jing was drenched in cold sweat on his forehead, and carefully said the wording: "If it is serious, it will be dismissed, and if it is light, it will be degraded and exiled, no matter how severe, it will be flogged for twenty ......."

Su Shi nodded slightly, and said expressionlessly: "Very good, since you know how to punish, the official doesn't have much to say." Do you admit to yourself, over the years, you have taken advantage of your power and lost much money? ”

Cai Jing looked up at the "mirror hanging" hanging above Su Shi, as well as the blue sky and white sun painting wall behind, he had already bluffed his legs and feet, where did he dare to hide it, and immediately said: "The prisoner ...... The illegal gains of the offenders over the years have exceeded 100,000 yuan ......"

"Even if you're honest, this is a copy of your family's accounts, and you can go through it to see if there are any grievances?" Su Shi asked people to show a ledger to Cai Jing, Cai Jing didn't dare to be sloppy, this is related to how he judged! If he makes a mistake and sentences him to a "decisive decision", wouldn't he be so unjust that he can't be wronged again?

I have to say that the efficiency of the Supervision Department is very good, and in just half a month, it has checked evidence from the four prefectures of Jiangsu, Huai, Jing, and Zhejiang, even if it is Chang'an, and the notes are extremely clear.

The more Cai Jing looked at it, the more frightened he became, he thought that he had only earned 100,000 yuan, but why was there hundreds of thousands of yuan in the account?

"Wronged, the criminal official is only 100,000 yuan, where is there hundreds of thousands of yuan?" Cai Jing couldn't help but scream.

Su Shi said coldly: "I didn't wronged you, it is true that you only earned 100,000 yuan, but you dare to say that your net worth of hundreds of thousands of yuan has nothing to do with it?" According to your income, according to your family property before you became a jinshi, it is only 50,000 yuan, and now it is ten times more, how do you explain it? ”

When Cai Jing heard this, he collapsed to the ground, he never thought that his crime would be so big that he could be sentenced heavily. (To be continued.) )
