Chapter 1125: The lesser of two evils
As soon as these words came out, the one whose face changed drastically in the hall was none other than Qing Mosong, who looked at Yanbian Kun in disbelief, and shouted half-loudly, "This profiteer, blood spews people!" ”
Wu Xundian smiled slightly, "Young Master Qing, didn't you let Yanbian Kun come in to confront you?" Now that he insisted on colluding with him back then, he forced Master Li to accept the batch of sand and stones, what else do you have to say? ”
"It can't be." Qing Mo Song Tie blushed and glared at Yanbian Kun, "What the hell?" Obviously, it was Li Xueyu who took the money, so what does the batch of sand and gravel have to do with me? ”
"Qing Gongzi," Iwabe Kun looked at him timidly, "It's better to recruit, tell lies, the Buddha will blame." ”
Qing Mosong was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him, "Dog, full of nonsense, dare to talk about the Buddha and talk about it......"
Elder Wei coughed lightly, and the guards waiting on the side immediately stepped forward to pull Qing Mosong away.
Elder Hua asked, "Iwabekun, are you telling the truth?" ”
"The grass people's sentences are true, if there is half a lie, the sky will thunder."
"Your Majesty, the two elders," Qing Sike hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yanbian Kun is a profiteer, his words are not to be believed, he must have accepted the benefits of Lord Li to slander Qing Gongzi." ”
"Your Majesty, the two elders," Wu Xundian also stepped forward to salute, "The minister still has a few witnesses, but they can come to the court one by one." ”
Elder Hua waved his hand: "Xuan!" ”
It was Iwabe Kun's wife who came in this time, and she testified that Iwabe Kun had indeed told her back then, and asked Qing Mosong to come forward to force Li Xueyu to accept the sand and stones.
Qing Mosong struggled to retort, "This woman is in the same group as Iwabe Kun, so she naturally helps him." ”
The two elders looked at each other, but did not say anything, and called the next witness in.
This time it was Li Xueyu's entourage who came in, and he testified that after Li Xueyu was coerced, he was very depressed in his heart, and poured bitter water on him, mentioning that Qing Mosong used Elder Qing to threaten him.
Qing Sike said: "Lord Li's entourage naturally helps Master Li speak, if this is the case, Qing Gongzi's entourage can also testify." ”
Wu Xundian glanced at him, "Then Xuanqing Gongzi's entourage comes in." ”
As a result, there was really a man wearing a white short coat and black pants, and his entourage was dressed as a man, he was humble, and when he entered the door, he knelt down and bowed, and he didn't dare to raise his head on the ground after the salute.
Elder Hua asked, "Who is in the audience?" ”
"The slave is the retinue of the Qing prince, Barong."
"Barong, how long have you been following your son?"
"The slave has been with Gongzi since he was a child, and it has been sixteen years now."
"Do you know about the dam construction of a suburban reservoir ten years ago?"
"Yes."
"Is Qing Gongzi involved?"
"......" Barong hesitated slightly, and replied, "Yes." ”
"How?"
"Yanbian Kun came out of the sand and stones, and Gongzi came forward to force Master Li to accept the sand and stones, and the money earned, Gongzi and Yanbian Kun split in half."
"This dog slave ......" Qing Mosong's face turned white with anger, and he rushed forward with a kick, but the guards had already prepared and cut his hands behind his back, making him unable to move, and the kick did not kick Ba Long.
"An ungrateful dog slave, who dares to betray me, who is behind it?" Qing Mosong scolded and scolded, "Hurry up and recruit from the truth, otherwise I will peel the skin!" ”
Ba Long looked very afraid of Qing Mosong, lay on the ground and shrunk into a ball, and stumbled and said: "Gong, Gongzi, you can't tell lies, lies, the Buddha will, will see ......"
"Talking about the Buddha too, is it good to collude?" Qing Mosong struggled indignantly, and turned his head to reprimand the guards who grabbed him: "Let go, otherwise I will peel the skin!" ”
"Young Master Qing," Elder Wei, who had not spoken, spoke, "Your Majesty must not be rude in front of him!" ”
His expression was serious, and his tone was heavy, which finally made Qing Mosong realize that something was wrong, and he was stunned for a moment, "Elder Wei ,......"
Elder Hua looked at him expressionlessly, "Young Master Qing don't be impatient, who is right and wrong, I believe Your Majesty already knows in his heart." ”
Wei Chi Buyi frowned slightly, and swept Lan Jihua with his eyes, Lan Jihua smiled lightly, "Elder Hua, I am just listening to this matter, and Elder Hewei is in charge." After speaking, he beckoned to Wei Chi Bu, "Come." ”
Wei Chi didn't think he had something to order, according to the words, Lan Jihua smiled and handed a cup of tea to her, "Thirsty, take a sip of tea and listen slowly, it's not over yet." Qing Mosong almost laughed out loud, this emperor didn't ask about political affairs, Elder Hua actually carried him out, look, slapped his face.
Elder Hua was a little embarrassed, and turned his head to ask Elder Wei, "What does Elder Wei think about this matter?" ”
Elder Wei said coldly: "Elder Ben is in charge of the criminal law, and he pays the most attention to evidence, and now that the evidence is conclusive, the matter is already very clear. ”
Qing Mosong's face turned white, and he shouted loudly: "I was wronged, I want to see my father!" ”
Elder Hua said, "Could it be that this matter also has something to do with Elder Qing?" ”
Qing Mosong was about to speak, when Elder Dao said, "I know what Elder Qing is like, he will never use his power for personal gain and do such a hurtful thing. ”
Elder Hua glanced at him unexpectedly and sneered, "I didn't suspect Elder Qing, it's just that Young Master Qing kept shouting that he was wronged, and he was afraid that there was something else to hide." ”
Elder Qing in the inner hall couldn't sit still, strode out, first saluted the emperor, and then saluted Elder Wei, "I have worked together for many years, Elder Wei knows about me, if I had known what the rebel did back then, this incident would not have happened today." He bowed down to Lan Jihua, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister has no way to teach his son, and he has caused a heinous crime, and the minister's crime is unforgivable!" ”
He fell to his knees, his face full of grief and the sparkle of water in his eyes. The lesser of two evils, for the sake of an elder choice, Elder Hua is taking the opportunity to get rid of him, leaving Qingshan in the fear of no firewood, as long as he does not collapse, he will not lose.
Qing Mosong saw his father's actions, and the whole person was stunned, and he called out in disbelief half-loudly: "Father." ”
Elder Qing doesn't look at him, he has three sons, Qing Mosong is the eldest son, he was spoiled when he was young, and he developed his arrogant and domineering character, and he has no one in his eyes...... He lamented in his heart, after all, he was his own flesh and blood, how could he give it up easily?
Lan Jihua leaned into the chair lazily, "Elder Qing, please get up, this matter was done by Ling Gongzi, and it has nothing to do with the elder, Qing Gongzi has already passed the age of the weak crown, and he has the ability to bear what he has done, Elder Qing doesn't have to blame himself too much." ”
Elder Wei's eyes flickered, he raised his chin, and several guards stepped forward to twist Qing Mosong, directly put on the rope sleeve, and tied it up.
Qing Mosong knew that he was scared now, and howled and cried while struggling, "Father, father save me, I was wronged, father ......"
Elder Qing stepped forward, slapped him hard, and shouted, "Evil obstacles! The second voice was shouted at the guards: "Take away! ”
The guards took Qing Mosong away, the council hall returned to calm, Lan Jihua stretched his waist and stood up, leading Wei Chi Bu to leave. The others also withdrew one after another, and in the end, Elder Qing was the only one standing alone in the empty council hall, looking unpredictable.
