Chapter 939 Summoning
Shuntian government office

There are several courtyards specially used for trial cases, which are used separately according to the needs of interrogating prisoners of different grades and the size of the matter to be tried.

In one of the most spacious courtyards, there were some people standing in two groups.

At this time, the autumn tiger still had some prestige, and most of the people near the courtyard gate and the shady places were officials and servants, as well as some scholars who received preferential treatment. "Two words.

Another group of people stood in a relatively sunny place outside, including merchants, clerks, craftsmen, and women. They did not dare to speak, but they also turned to the hall.

Inside, there is a person who should not be here who is trying the case.

"Mighty!" Zhaobi held a water and fire stick in sequence and gave a majestic voice: "Summon Bo Ningyun to enter."

All the noise stopped immediately, and it was so quiet that even a needle could be heard. Bo Ningyun, who was standing in the shade, was stunned. His expression seemed quite peaceful. He hurried in, and he could faintly see through the curtain. There was a desk in the hall, sitting A young man wearing a golden crown.

"I didn't expect Dai Wang to come to interrogate in person. This, this is really the first time I saw it." After a while, the voice came up again, and a small official under a tree near the courtyard gate fanned the wind with his hands, unable to bear it. emotion.

Colleagues showed approval: "Who said no?"

Not to mention a prince like Daiwang, even if he is a first- and second-rank official, he has never seen a single person who went to the Shuntian Mansion's site to try the case. Only after the oral order is given, will the honor come over.

After all, they are all nobles, and the yamen of Shuntian Mansion is alright, and the trial office has its own bad luck in the eyes of nobles, who would find bad luck for themselves when they have nothing to do, and go here?
However, this prince's son, the grandson of the emperor's acting king is unusual!
Someone also glanced inside, and said a few words instead of the king: "I don't blame the interrogation on behalf of the king. After all, the dignified prince was assassinated in the capital under the eyes of everyone. Who can let it go? If it were you, would you?" Are you not in a hurry to find out the person who instigated the assassin?"

"That's right, Dai Wang hates assassins..." A yamen servant looked around: "This is already the third batch, and the first two batches have finished their questions."

"But the problem is, until now, there are not a hundred people, but there are 80 people. What can I ask? I'm fine, and I can still discuss it here. But Mr. Liu, I'm afraid that there is nothing left to love."

The "Master Liu" mentioned by this little official is actually not a big official. He is a civil official in charge of recording documents in Shuntian Mansion. On one side of the hall, with a pen in his hand, he kept recording the confession.

Most of the petty officials are tactful, even if they complain, they don't dare to be blatant, but they are scholars, and their discussions are much louder.

A man with long eyebrows and thin eyes, thin lips, impatient even though he was in the shade, and his vest was a little wet, complained at this time: "The heart of acting as a king is understandable."

"It's just that no matter who it is, on the boathouse, on the pier, even nearby shops and even bystanders, they all come to ask questions, and some of them obviously have nothing to do with this matter. What's the use of finding a needle in a haystack like this? Is it going to continue like this?"

"Dai Wang was assassinated, you know, the mood can be forgiven, then I should cooperate." The assassin finally complained, an old Juren rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "Ge Sheng, you are a Juren, so you naturally know what it means Be cautious in your words and deeds, the court's honor is not a reason for us to be presumptuous."

"Furthermore, for such a big event, let alone us, even Mr. Fu Yin has to agree."

The young Juren Ge Sheng pursed his lips and remained silent. Although the Governor of Shuntian Mansion is one of the emperor's confidantes, a person who can hold this position, apart from the holy family, must have something special.

This superiority may be that the bones are particularly hard, and he is also ruthless enough to himself, so that people can't find faults and grasp the handle, but even so, it won't last long.

More people like Tanping, who pay attention to loyalty to the emperor, work conscientiously, and pay attention to propriety. Although they don't form cliques for personal gain, they don't easily offend others. I can only agree to come to interrogate the case.

"Hey! But if you ask this way, what can you get?" Others also sighed.

Different from these people who have fame and fame, and ask questions that have nothing to do with themselves, other people who were called to this courtyard to wait to be questioned, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they were a little nervous.

After all, most of these people are ordinary businessmen, and some boatmen have never experienced such a thing. When they think of being questioned by the king, and it is related to the assassination of the king, even if it has nothing to do with themselves, they will My heart was beating wildly.

Who knows if this emperor and grandson will vent his anger?

At this time, Ge Sheng didn't speak, but glanced at the few people who were following inside, and saw that these people's faces were a little pale and worried.

Ge Sheng just glanced at it, listening to the faint questioning inside, but thinking about it in his heart.

"The assassin has been caught, and there are also suspects, but instead of staring at them, Dai Wang went to Shuntian Mansion for interrogation. Not only are there suspicions, but everyone who participates in the literary conference, whether it is a juzi or a boatman, is brought here for interrogation." In other words, isn't this really trying to find a needle in a haystack—isn't this a bit paranoid?"

"Ask a seemingly unrelated person here, do you notice something?"

Thinking of this, Ge Sheng couldn't help but tremble, he was Cao Yiyan's man, and this matter was also sent by the lord.

"Don't think about it, scare yourself."

"My identity has been buried for ten years. I have a one-way connection and I have a reputation. Even if Dai Wang realizes something, he can only ask a few questions, and he will definitely not use torture."

"Let's not mention that most of the cases related to it are cases. Even if they are not, with so many people, if they use torture rashly, it will attract criticism. Dai Wang cherishes the feathers and will not use torture at will - and did not use torture just now."

"But what's the point of asking this question? Is it just a moment of anger on behalf of the king?"

After thinking about it, Ge Sheng still felt that Dai Wang was angry because of being assassinated, which is the most plausible explanation.

"Next, Ge Sheng."

Following Bo Ningyun, who came out of the hall with a relaxed expression, the yamen servant who came out at the same time shouted to the outside, and his eyes fell on Ge Sheng who was thinking about something.

Bo Ningyun raised her hand slightly, and smiled: "Brother Ge, it's okay, Dai Wang just asked some questions, just answer frankly."

"Brother Xie Bo reminded me."

From Dawei to Dazheng, there are meritorious officials who have not yet been awarded an official, and they are not called adults, but brothers. Xiucai call Juren his brother, and Juren call him a younger brother.

The same class, call each other brothers.

If you are not a scholar, you naturally have no right to call him that.

Ge Sheng immediately regained his composure, put on a calm and innocent look, and walked into the hall with his clothes lifted.
