Twins in Tibet

That afternoon, the four of Chu Tianhan and Xiao Xunran returned to the cell openly and aboveboard, and fulfilled their promise to the four ghosts, replacing the puppets with their real bodies.Then set up the enchantment, and like yesterday, the four of them slept peacefully in the cell all night.

Woke up early the next morning. Yesterday, the Seventh Prince said that someone would come to interrogate them today. The four of them didn't want to wait to come and call them, but found that no one could be found.After waking up and drinking some tea, some officials came to take them to the court. The four of them tidied up their clothes a little, and then followed them to the front.

In this Fu Yin's mansion, the front is the Fu Yin's lobby, and the cell is on the side of the Fu Yin's hall, so there is not much detour, and the four of them are quickly brought to the lobby. On the lobby, there is a One is the Seventh Prince, the person appointed by the emperor to hear the case.

Under the lobby, there were two people sitting, the one on the left was Li Kang, and the one on the right was Fu Yin. As for the previous master, he was already standing in a good place.The Seventh Prince, who was sitting in the main hall, kept smiling, squinting, and when he saw Chu Tianhan and the others coming in, he nodded in reality.

This action made Li Kang black on the spot. What does the Seventh Prince's behavior indicate?It means that either he knows these people, or he has a good impression of these people. In this case, if the case can be beneficial to him, it will be hell.But when he thought of his eldest son Li Yi who was kicked to death, Li Kang couldn't help flashing viciousness in his eyes, so what if the Seventh Prince knew them?As a commoner, the Seventh Prince would not fight himself to the end for these people, would he?

"Grassman Chu Tianhan (Xiao Xunran, Bai Yuanzhi, in vernacular) has met the Seventh Prince." When Li Kang was making a cruel decision, Chu Tianhan and the others had already walked into the lobby, they did not kneel down, but just hugged each other He bowed to the above, and as for Li Kang and Fu Yin, he did not appear in the eyes of these four people at all.Moreover, their luggage for the seventh prince is not the kind of etiquette that ordinary people should salute when they meet high-ranking officials, but because the seven kings are elders and they are juniors, they should salute when they meet.

"Let's get back together." Seventh King raised his hand with a smile~smiled~smiled. After getting along with him yesterday, he already knew a little bit about his two little nephews. They looked young, but they were the most stubborn and proud. Self-esteem is also strong, what they are willing to do, even if ten horses are behind them, they must do it.And what they are unwilling to do, even if there are a group of tigers and wolves chasing after them, they will definitely not do it, and people with strong self-esteem will definitely not kneel down easily when they have nothing to do. Therefore, even if they are officials who want to interrogate them, there is absolutely no possibility that they will kneel down.Of course, he was very happy to see this polite junior ceremony.

"Thank you Seventh Prince." The four of them agreed, and as soon as they stood up straight, they heard Li Kang say from the side: "Seventh Prince, is this unreasonable number? I have never heard of any prisoner in the courtroom or Those who can stand up and answer, the prince knows them? You and the emperor have never talked about this before."

If you know them, then the Seventh Prince's behavior is to use power for personal gain. If this kind of cover-up behavior is stabbed to the emperor, then you, the presiding judge, will definitely not get good results.Squinting his eyes, Li Kang's voice made people feel a little yin and yang.

"This king just met them." Grandpa Qi Wang squinted his eyes, and put a lazy smile on his mouth: "Who told Mr. Li that they are criminals? This king has not yet tried the case, how can Mr. Li confirm that they are criminals?" What? Besides, in the laws of my Eastern Chu Kingdom, it has never been said that suspects must kneel above the hall. Mr. Fu Yin, is this king right?"

Fu Yin raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up and bowed in reverence and respect: "Well, there are no specific regulations in the laws of my Eastern Chu Kingdom." But that is the practice, my lord, and the practice does not need to be written in the law. of.Also, my lord, Lord Li, I am actually very innocent, can you two narrow down the scope of the battlefield so that it does not affect me?The subordinates are very timid, and being so frightened by you, the subordinate's unhealed head feels even more painful.

It's a pity that Mr. Fu Yin, who is too low in status, has no right to speak. Even if he is full of complaints and pleadings, he dare not speak out. He can only mutter in his heart. Even if he dares to speak out, I am afraid that those two Also ignore him.

"Hmph, please hurry up and try the case, the Seventh Prince, and stop entangled in such insignificant issues." Li Kang was choked by the Seventh Prince's words, and he couldn't object yet.If he admitted that he identified Chu Tianhan and the others as criminals, it would be like losing face to the emperor.The emperor said that this case needs to be tried, but you, Mr. Li, said that you can confirm that they are the murderers without a trial, so who should be the master in the Eastern Chu Kingdom?You, Mr. Li, are high and powerful because you have the favor of the emperor, and once you offend the emperor, you are nothing.

"My lord is not entangled in small issues. It was Mr. Li who first questioned this king. In order not to let people say that this king bent the law for personal gain, this king feels that he needs to explain Mr. Li's questions." Seventh Prince The lazy smile is very dazzling, of course, it is only for Li Kang, seeing Li Kang's face darkened in an instant, the Seventh Prince coughed lightly: "Since Mr. Li can't wait to try this case, this king will not procrastinate." gone."

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Li Kang's face which turned green and pale, turned his head down and asked, "Do you guys know why this king asked you to come here?"

Bai Yuanshang stepped forward and clasped his fists: "As the lord said, the grassroots will keep their own place. They will never do anything that violates the laws of the country. They have always been strict with themselves. Therefore, the grassroots will never commit crimes. In this case, the only It reminds the grassroots that the reason why the prince summoned us is probably the reason why we were put in prison, the prince is because of the incident at the gate of the city the day before yesterday, right?"

"Whether you keep yourselves in peace or not, it's not up to you, it's up to this king." The Seventh Prince seemed to be very strict, but in fact the smile in his eyes betrayed him: "Now that you know this king's name... Why are you here, so you can tell yourself?"

"Yes, my lord." Bai Yuanzhi responded, and then told what happened to him and Chu Tianhan at the gate of the city the night before yesterday in very detailed detail, even imitating the expression and tone of the soldiers guarding the gate at that time. There is also the surrounding situation when a horse suddenly rushed out of the city. Bai Yuanzhi described it in detail: "At that time, it was almost dusk, and many people were going out of the city, so there were many pedestrians on the road. My brother Bai Huayuan Standing on the side of the road, I didn't hinder anyone. No one thought that a horse would suddenly rush out of the city, and go straight towards my younger brother without even stopping. It will also be crippled..."

"So you just kicked him down right away?" Before Bai Yuanzhi could finish speaking, Li Kang asked coldly from the side. Originally, in this lobby, he had no right to open his mouth to hear the case. But because the deceased was his son, the emperor took pity on him and made him a deputy judge.

"My lord, it wasn't the man on the horse who was kicked by the grassroots at that time, but..." Bai Yuanzhi turned his head to look at Li Kang, as if he didn't see the ruthlessness in Li Kang's eyes. What can't be done to them openly.

"Since you are not kicking a person, why did the person on the horse fall off? As far as I know, Li Yi's riding skills are very good. It is impossible that he did not control the rope and let himself fall off the horse. "My son, how could I not understand?

Bai Yuanzhi smiled and raised his eyebrows: "My lord, you can ask someone to check the body of the deceased. If I kicked a person, there will definitely be traces on that person's body. My lord, you might as well ask someone to check it, see Whether I was lying or not, and the horse, it is best to check it, the villain kicked the horse's belly, I think there should be grass people's shoe prints on the horse's belly."

Li Kang snorted coldly: "The horse was slaughtered yesterday, because Li Yi was put into the coffin yesterday, what you said cannot be taken as evidence at all."

The Seventh Prince raised his eyebrows: "Why can't it be used as evidence? Master Li, the emperor himself said that this case would be tried yesterday morning, and the horse could not have been buried or burned immediately after passing through the night, right? If so, how can Mr. Fu Yin sit here? Also, has someone said that people who are put into the coffin cannot be inspected? My court only stipulates that the injustice should be punished, and I have never said that the corpse put into the coffin cannot be inspected. .Also, Mr. Li, don’t forget to mention that it’s the presiding judge.”

It's good enough to make you arrogant for a long time, but you dare to exceed the rules. I, the chief judge, haven't said that the evidence can't be used. You, a deputy judge, will destroy the evidence. You think too much of yourself right?The Seventh Prince snorted coldly, and Li Kang's expression changed. Even though he is a high-ranking and powerful person, the one above him is now the emperor's brother.Even if the emperor and his brother are not very close, they are still brothers. Compared with himself as an outsider, there is no need to guess who the emperor will rely on and trust.

"My lord, I have another question."

After his expression changed, Li Kang clasped his fists and said, this time he asked for instructions, if the Seventh Prince doesn't let him speak, it's arbitrariness.

"Ask." The Seventh Prince was careless. This case is actually meaningless to try. Chu Tianhan and the others have evidence and witnesses, while Li Kang has nothing. In the end, to put it seriously, Chu Tianhan They were just protecting themselves, and they were too heavy-handed. According to what Chu Tianhan said yesterday, it was too defensive. If this is the case, the apology and compensation to the Li family are almost over.This Li Kang is a bit too unclear.
