my wife is mulan

Soon after, Shi Dayou, a Sogdian businessman who had committed the crime, was escorted into the hall by the soldiers.

Although Shi Dayou was a Sogdian, he had been doing business in the territory of the Dagan Dynasty for many years, and he was very clear about the etiquette of the Dagan Dynasty. He was a commoner, so he knelt down and saluted: "Shi Dayou, a Sogdian merchant from Caomin, kowtows to His Majesty the Emperor! Your Majesty, Caomin is a Sogdian merchant. Your Majesty ordered the Sogdian merchant to leave the territory of the Dagan Empire within the specified time. It is true that I did not leave within the stipulated time limit, but your country cannot arrest me and put me in prison. If you can confiscate all my property, I want to sue you, and the relevant yamen in your country arrest people indiscriminately against your will!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Really? But as far as I know, you were arrested because you bribed our court officials with money and attempted to conspire with our court officials to smuggle a large number of commodities. You have already admitted it in your confession. Is this thing true?"

"This"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Shi Dayou's expression and said, "Shi Dayou, you have to think carefully!"

Shi Dayou was caught in the struggle and weighing in his heart, but he quickly sorted out the seriousness of the matter, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty is well aware that the villain has indeed bribed your country's officials with money and negotiated with them to smuggle a large number of commodities! "

Zhao Junsheng's eyes were fixed: "Who is this person?"

"Yes, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhao Dong was furious, his face flushed red, he wanted to reprimand and refute, but then remembered that Zhao Junsheng announced that no one should intervene, so he could only sulk.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Shi Dayou, I'm really curious. Any case before the imperial court is the last chance to reverse the case. You didn't retract the confession, but you didn't hesitate to admit all the previous confessions. After all, you don't want to live anymore. Are you still thinking about your own wife and children?"

"" Shi Dayou kept sweating on his forehead.

Zhao Junsheng waited for a while, and said: "Shi Dayou, I have limited time and I don't have time to spend with you. I declare that all the confessions you made during the previous interrogation are invalid from now on. You are now reconciling you with me." The relationship between Jing Min and all the transactions and conspiracies between you have been clearly explained. I will send someone to investigate. Once it is confirmed that what you said is true, I will pardon all your crimes and send troops to escort your family away from Dagan. However, if it is found out that what you said is false, neither you nor your family will be able to live, so you should think clearly!"

Shi Dayou was sweating profusely all over his body.

"Grass people grass people" Shi Dayou hesitated, he didn't dare to look at Huang Dezhong, but he knew what to do now, Zhao Junsheng is the emperor, since the emperor has spoken, his credibility must be higher than anyone else!

After kowtowing, Shi Dayou said: "Return to Your Majesty, the grassroots want to retract the confession, and the previous confessions of the grassroots were all tortured into tricks!"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Dezhong was the first to bear the brunt. His expression completely changed, and he couldn't help shouting: "Shi Dayou, when will this officer beat you up?"

Zhao Junsheng swept over with sharp eyes and shouted: "Come on, slap your mouth!"

There were thirteen words in total, and Kang Yide asked four young eunuchs to step forward and hold Huang Dezhong's mouth in turn. The 130 slaps really turned Huang Dezhong into a pig's head.

Huang Dezhong's fate made everyone silent, and everyone reminded themselves that no matter what happened, they must not open their mouths.

Zhao Junsheng pointed at Shi Dayou: "Go on!"

"Yes! Cao Min did bribe Jing Min to provide him with asylum. Jing Min took Cao Min's money and managed to give Cao Min a military customs clearance certificate. With this military customs clearance certificate, he can go to the Western Regions all the way until he leaves. Dagan territory, but was caught by the Imperial City Division before leaving the territory of Tianshui County!"

"I have never told Jing Min about the secret smuggling. Everyone knows that the relationship between Dagan and Yanda has deteriorated to the extreme. At this time, smuggling is simply asking for death, and Tianshui County is too far away from the border of the Western Regions. Jing Min can only manage one-third of an acre of land in Tianshui County, which is too ineffective for smuggling routes, so this story is fake!"

Zhao Junsheng turned cold, "Then why did you lie in your confession?"

"Someone forced the villain to say this. The villain has to say it. If you don't do this, all the villain's family members will be killed!"

"Oh? Who forced you to do this?" Zhao Junsheng leaned forward and stared at Shi Dayou.

Shi Dayou glanced at Huang Dezhong, saw that this person had been beaten into a pig's head, and then glanced at Zhao Ping, his eyes shrunk, as if he was particularly afraid, but then he remembered that Zhao Junsheng had promised that he would send troops to send him to this situation as long as he told the truth , he decided to take a gamble, pointed at Huang Dezhong through gritted teeth and said, "He forced the villain to do this!"

Huang Dezhong, who had been beaten into a pig's head, was already trembling with fright at this moment, and prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have never done this before. I have been ordered to re-investigate this case. The responsibility is so serious. How dare you enforce the law and break the law? This Shi Dayou is obviously I don’t care about anything just to survive, and started to bite people indiscriminately, please learn from your majesty!”

Zhao Junsheng's eyes swept over the faces of Zhao Dong, Zhao Ping, Shi Lin and Huang Dezhong one by one. After a long time, he ordered: "I will send someone to investigate this matter. Come and bring Jing Min and Shi Dayou back Prison!"

The soldiers dragged the two of them out.

Zhao Junsheng looked at Huang Dezhong again, "Master Huang, you also go to the prison for a few days. If it is found out that you really tortured and tortured to blame the prince, I will let you know what it feels like to regret it!"

After finishing speaking, he shouted to the outside of the hall: "Come here, take Huang Dezhong down and put him in the prison!"

Huang Dezhong is only the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the official is pitifully small, and he is not qualified to live in the sky prison, but he is suspected of enforcing the law and violating the law while doing business under the imperial order. If this kind of behavior is not severely punished, someone will follow suit in the future. rise.

Two soldiers walked in outside the hall and dragged Huang Dezhong out, Huang Dezhong shouted: "Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life!"

Chapter 1102

After Huang Dezhong was dragged away, the hall was eerily quiet.

Zhao Junsheng was thinking about the process of interrogating the case just now. Jing Min was ordered by the prince to bite him to death, and even had evidence such as letters, but another criminal, Shi Dayou, retracted his confession and said that he was forced by Huang Dezhong to confess that he had a relationship with the prince in the interrogation room. There is collusion, which one of them is telling the truth?Who is Huang Dezhong?Was it instigated by the third child?

If the prince was framed, then what happened to these letters?But turn around and think about it, is it necessary for the prince to smuggle with a Sogdian businessman to make money?He is the crown prince of the country, one man is under ten thousand people, and he has many secret ways to get money, which no one can find out, why bother to collude with a Sogdian businessman to smuggle?How much money can this make?

Zhao Junsheng suddenly sneered: "Oh, this is really interesting. Among them, the prisoner actually produced the prince's handwritten letter as evidence, which is irrefutable. This thing can be said to be ironclad evidence! But another prisoner was in front of the imperial court again. To retract the confession and say that he was coerced by others, and he had to give false testimony to frame the prince, this drama is really exciting! Come on!"

Kang Yide stood up: "The old slave is here!"

"Pass the decree to the chief officials of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai, and let them form the three judicial divisions to conduct a joint trial. During this period, the crown prince is banned from the East Palace and is not allowed to go out without an order!"

"No!" Kang Yide promised and immediately left the palace with a few eunuchs.

Zhao Junsheng looked at Zhao Ping again: "Shu King!"

Zhao Ping stood up and saluted: "My son is here!"

"How about you come to be the chief interrogator?"

Zhao Ping opened his mouth wide: "Ah, this..."

"Huh?" Zhao Junsheng stared at Zhao Ping sharply.

Zhao Ping panicked, and quickly agreed: "Your servant obeys the order!"

"Get back!" Zhao Junsheng waved his hand.

Everyone present filed out.

After coming out of Qinzheng Hall, Zhao Ping felt his back was covered with sweat, and only then did he realize that the majesty of the father was too strong.

Zhao Junsheng sat behind the imperial case and thought for a long time. He picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of white paper. After finishing writing, he put down the pen, folded the white paper again, and beckoned to a little eunuch next to him: "Come, give this to me." Waiting for the lawsuit to be sent by Jia Yue, if you peek without authorization, I will goug your eyes!"

"Yes, yes, servants dare not!" The little eunuch hurriedly agreed and stepped forward to take the folded white paper and exited the hall.

East Palace.

Zhao Dong walked into the meeting hall from outside with a sullen face, and all the officials of the Prince's Mansion stood up and saluted: "I have seen Your Highness!"

Zhao Dong waved his hands and forced a smile: "You all don't need to be polite, just sit down!"

Chen Fang, the prince's servant, cupped his hands and asked, "Your Highness, is Your Majesty summoning His Highness?"

Prince Xima Liu Xian accompanied Zhao Dong to the Hall of Qinzheng the whole time. He immediately told in detail what happened in the Hall of Qinzheng just now.

"Finally, His Majesty also decreed that during the interrogation period of the three divisions, His Majesty will be confined to the East Palace and not to go out without decree!"

"What? This is house arrest in disguise!" Zhan Shiningren shouted angrily.

Lu Xie said angrily: "Your Highness, I thought that the King of Shu must be behind the scenes to frame this matter. Why did Your Highness ever write a letter to Jing Min? Even if you wanted to write to him, Your Highness would not write it personally. Your Highness I dare say that those so-called letters must have been created by the King of Shu!"
