Two thick stacks of paper were placed on the desk, one in the left hand and one in the right.Confessions of several dandies, confessions of servants who were captured on the spot, identification and confessions of villagers... in duplicate, exactly the same.The only difference is that the stack on the left was transferred to Jing Zhaoyin via the Pingding County Government, and then transferred to Dali Temple. It was placed under the memorial and handed down directly from the imperial case, and each copy was printed with a small "Longevity" seal, which clearly marked that it came from the queen's hand.

In the middle is the memorial that Yushi just read in the court hall.

Father's meaning is very clear: punish them, punish them severely!A group of lawless guys who dare to lead troops to rob criminals today, dare to attack the county government tomorrow, and directly rebel the day after tomorrow!

Crown Prince Yuanqin sat in the middle of the lobby of Dali Temple with a gloomy face, without saying a word.The Minister of Dali Temple and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sat on the left and right. Under the hall and in various side halls and corridors, clusters of scribes and government servants were sweating profusely, coming in and out like running water, mentioning criminals, calling witnesses, and checking. The confession, it seems, can't be completed in a while.

In fact, the case is not complicated at all—Yuan Qin flipped through the thick statement on the table, actually feeling a little depressed.Judging from the confession alone, when it was delivered, Ling Yucheng had already settled an iron case.There are confessions from prisoners, testimonies from victims, circumstantial evidence, and mutual corroboration.As for robbing criminals or something, it was even more obvious, and the five yamen servants and hundreds of villagers who were present witnessed it with their own eyes.

Then why am I here?ah?Watch them do the work that these small officials can do? !

Fortunately, this face can also be interpreted as "just anger in the face of prisoners who ignore the law". Even if it is a little depressed, a little paralyzed, or a little distorted, no one will make up strange places.And looking down, the faces of the Dali Temple officials were exactly the same depressed as him.

On the contrary, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment happily whispered to each other while checking the confession:

"At first glance, it is the work of the Queen's Royal Highness..."

"Yes, yes, everything is done, we just need to check it out..."

"I miss you so much, it's exactly the same as the time two years ago..."

At that time, Ling Yucheng had just arrived in Qingzhou, and he turned around and tied up a third of the local chief officials. He also made the case files neat and tidy, and the confession and evidence were all available.The Ministry of Punishments didn't have to do anything other than spend time on the confession. At that time, everyone complained a lot. Suddenly, a buddy let out a oops and slapped his head hard:

"Isn't that good? You don't need to check anything, you can close the case as long as you check the last one. Don't take this salary too easily!"

There was a roar of laughter.From then on, Ling Yucheng's reputation took a 180-degree turn in the Ministry of Punishment.

Yuan Qin, who had never experienced this scene, scratched his paw silently.There are laws on the top, and the emperor is watching; there are confessions on the bottom, and the petty officials are busy.To say that things are done well, Ling Yucheng has already used a series of tricks to make those few houses beautiful, and he, the crown prince, can't be more brilliant; The official stared at him. He didn't need to sit in charge, he had to be more careful, not the most careful.What else can I do to earn points in front of my father and prestige in front of my courtiers?

Fortunately, there is still time for him to think slowly.The case is not complicated, but the workload is so heavy that it makes people vomit blood.The ones brought up from the prison alone are hundreds of people: five dandies who made trouble at the beginning of the case, twenty or thirty servants, and four or five hundred guards who set out to rob the prisoners—Yuan Ran’s servants were released When the letter was reported, there were already a hundred Xuanjia guards on the scene, and the consensus formed by all the families in the capital was that without three times the strength, they should not talk about fighting in front of the Xuanjia guards!

Not enough to sweep!

Just this small 500 people have to ask one by one.The statement that Ling Yucheng turned over did not include those soldiers who arrived later!

According to the confessions of the arrested criminals, the person in charge of gathering the manpower and giving the orders of each family should be arraigned; a few copies of the impeachment memorial and the arranging confession should be copied and sent to the locations of General Shenwu, General Guangwu and General Frostwolf , ordered him to defend himself; asked to appease the villagers, and arranged for personnel to treat the injured villagers...

That's right, as the crown prince, as long as he talks about these things, someone will naturally handle them properly, but just doing these things doesn't show his ability!As for other things that really require him to be careful...

Let's just talk about Shenwuwei, the biggest officer in the mansion in Beijing is a general, who is in charge of organizing food and fodder supplies and building good relations with the dignitaries in the capital. He has never led a day's soldiers.In addition, the few big and small leaders who can be counted are all distant clans. Who gave the order?Who acquiesced?The soldiers confessed that it was a certain person, so you just interrogated him, or did you catch them all and ask them all?

It is still a question whether Zongling will go to the emperor to sue!

In short, it is unlucky for those who lead the troops out this time and get arrested. How many layers up and how far they are involved, it is in the hands of him, the prince.Seeing what my father meant, it would definitely not work to lift it up high and let it fall gently, but if the sentence is too severe...

fall!Obviously it was Xuanjiawei who was stepped on by a few hairy children and fought back, why should he come to offend people with a knife!

Everyone is not so good, okay!

If the crown prince Yuanqin’s mood is cloudy to cloudy and sometimes showers, he played with his friends as a landlord, and even brought a few friends to play with him, the young man Yuan Ran, then his mood is heavy rain turning thunderstorm, mixed with heavy snow It's hail.A good group of teenagers came out to hunt and play, but the main guest - General Frostwolf's nephew Altai was imprisoned; the accompanying guest - Ren Daoqing, the grandson of General Hussars, was also imprisoned; Li Tong, his grandson, was still imprisoned.

Only he, his younger brother, and the servants he brought out were told by Xuanjiawei with a smile from the very beginning: You have not broken the law, you can go away...

It's better to lock him in together!How can he explain this to others!Why was he so sensible, gentle, courteous and frugal at that time, and didn't beat up people with his friends!

Uncle, uncle, uncle of the Li family, old man of the Zong family...

I really didn't team up with Xuanjiawei to deliberately trick them...

Your Royal Highness, just beat up a few tenants in your farm and slept with a woman in your farm, so it wouldn't make things like this, would it?

Oh, and that's not all.After his younger brother and bodyguards were sent home, they also attracted hundreds of soldiers from Frostwolf Guard, Shenwu Guard and Guangwu Guard, but those people were also wiped out!Yuan Ran wanted to scratch the wall, I didn't send someone back to report the letter to force you to do it, how stupid must this be, to be able to confront Xuanjia Wei with a bright sword and a bright gun less than twenty miles away from the capital? !

Let’s not talk about him whether he wins or not—with fewer troops, he can’t win. If he wants to win, dispatching troops is equivalent to rebellion—even if he wins, His Majesty will still stand behind!

Well now, the mansions of Shenwuwei, Frostwolfwei, and Guangwuwei in the capital have all been watched, and people are not prohibited from entering and leaving, but sensible people know that it is best not to run around at this time; the study rooms in several mansions are guarded by special personnel Now, even though they haven’t copied it yet, it’s hard to say when it happened; all military officers in the capital, including captains and above, have been told not to wander around, and someone will come to talk to you at some point...

Just a few years after joining the army, Yuan Ran, who was still positioned as "communicating with children", looked around, and really, really wanted to cry.

But tears are useless!

Can tears save uncles and uncles?

Can the tears free the few friends he hangs out with from the dungeon?

No!

Looking left and right, all the uncles and uncles who can do things have been seen, and I don't know if I can keep it.Yuan Ran clenched his teeth, held back the tears that were running around, and began to work hard to turn his brain.

At the very least, let's get rid of one side first.

Friends trust friends, relatives trust relatives.Two days later, Yuan Ran got an opportunity to enter the door amidst the hussars and listen to Ling Yucheng's five-day art of war lecture.

At the end of the half-hour lecture, everyone stood up and watched Ling Yucheng get up and leave.Yuan Ran watched the slender figure disappear behind the screen, and wanted to shout out, but his throat seemed blocked: Even if he could intercede, he couldn't shout out in full view of everyone!

But, but—

Involuntarily being surrounded by the flow of people and walking out, Yuan Ran's footsteps became heavier and slower, and gradually fell to the last row.Hearing the creaking sound of the palace door closing behind him, he suddenly turned around and rushed back, and got in when there was still a foot of gap in the door, regardless of how many generals of the Xuanjiawei were left inside, Facing the table in front of the main hall, he knelt down:

"Shenwuwei Yuanran, please see your lord!"

"My lord has orders, if you come back to ask for an interview, I will let you in."

... If I don't have the guts to speak up, I don't care about it, do I?

In any case, it was an unexpected joy to be summoned.Yuan Ran was led directly to a room that looked like a study. When he opened the door, the person who was giving lectures in the main hall just now was sitting at the table, concentrating on writing something.He didn't dare to disturb him either, he took two steps forward and knelt down.

"It's one of the things I can find an opportunity to come into my house;" After a cup of tea in silence, a voice above his head said faintly. "Although I was worried, I was able to concentrate on listening to the lectures. This is the second; I didn't rush to see you, and I had the courage to speak up after the people left. This is the third. ——Tell me, what do you want to see me?"

At this moment, Yuan Ran deeply understood what his brother-in-law's cousin, Zong Bi, the son of the Hussar General, said to Her Royal Highness: "That person has a high vision, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to people who don't like him. If you have Where do you let him take a high look, in fact, it's still easy to talk..."

"The last general is here to make amends to the lord!" Half the battle was won if he had the chance to speak, Yuan Ran felt relieved and bent down to kowtow. "The general went hunting with a few friends. I don't know if they are the tenants of the adults. How offensive. If the loss is due, the general is willing to pay ten times the compensation. As for the death of the military master's fiancée, the tenant in the family and the steward who has lost his citizenship, There is also a beautiful and virtuous woman in the family, who can be promised to be his wife. Please forgive me, sir!"

Alas, children, it is not bad to think of this step.Ling Yucheng, who was thinking like this, didn't consider at all that he was only eight years older than this "children's family". In a broad sense, he was still a generation.

"Then there is no need - the laws of the country exist, and everything is done according to the law. Since the case has reached the government, it has nothing to do with me. Step back!"

Ah, ah?You are the master of suffering, is it really good for you to walk away like this?

The author has something to say: Thinking about it, in fact, the prince should be quite capable. Writing too mentally handicapped can only prove that I am too mentally handicapped...
