Chronicle of Emperor Jing

"Don't take your brother's words to heart. If something happens, what will you do?" Wei Ze always thinks of people in the bright side for his stupid brother, and never thinks of the worst. Quite a bit hate iron but not steel.

Besides, with the emperor's skill, even if he doesn't like Minwen in his heart, his stupid younger brother may not be able to find out.

"Brother, there is really no need to worry." Wei Yan tried to comfort his brother.

Speaking of the emperor, he thought of the emperor, and thought of the emperor's careful care of him these days, his heart warmed up, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

"Also, you should be more concerned about the affairs of your house. This time Guanshi Liu can do such a thing, because you are not strict in managing the family on weekdays, so he got this opportunity. Although Minwen is smart, after all, he is young. Young, you entrusted him with all the housework and never worried about it yourself, which is obviously irresponsible." Wei Ze held back for a while, but couldn't hold back, and began to ramble.

In addition to these commonplace nonsense, he talked about Xifeng County, praised Kua Minwen's ability, and despised his own stupid brother by the way.

Ah, here it is again!

Wei Yan felt that his elder brother started nagging, which was like the emperor's posture when nagging him.

However, he has been used to being nagged since he was a child, and he has already developed a way to deal with it freely.

"Well, what elder brother said is very true. I'll remember it, and I won't do it again in the future." He murmured for a long time, always entering one ear and exiting the other, not paying attention to it at all.

Later, when he was tired, he fell asleep and didn't hear what his brother said to him later.

Wei Ze talked alone for a long time, only to realize that Xiao Qi didn't know when, and didn't respond.

He stretched out his hand, trying to push Wei Yan to wake him up, but his hand didn't touch his shoulder yet, he didn't know what happened, and finally he just helped him compress the corner of the quilt and closed his eyes.

That night, Wei Yan slept soundly.

The next day, he woke up early, sat up, and dressed himself.There was movement in him, and soon, Wei Ze also opened his eyes.

"Brother, let's go to morning class together." Seeing that his brother woke up, Wei Yan greeted him with a smile.

"Okay, let's go together." Weize had something to say to him last night, but today, he doesn't want to say it.

He watched Wei Yan put on his clothes quickly and got off the couch, feeling a little strange, and asked him, "Why didn't you call anyone in to serve?"

"Brother, I'm not a child anymore, why do I need someone to serve me?"

Wei Yan was living in the palace, and his life was still lazy. He would lie in the emperor's arms for a while after waking up. At home, where the emperor can't see, there are some things that he can do by himself, so he does it casually.

Wei Ze is leading soldiers outside, and sometimes when the conditions are difficult, life is also very rough. The prince of the Hou family is particular about those things. When needed, he must have them, but most of the time, he does not have the time and the conditions. , so seeing Xiao Qi like this, he only felt that Xiao Qi had finally grown up, but he didn't say much.

The two brothers got up, one practiced the sword, the other practiced the gun, sweated all over, and then went to take a bath and change clothes, and then went to have breakfast with Master Wei.

After dinner, Old Master Wei took the whole family to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the ancestors. He kept several uncles from the same family drinking tea in the living room, and Wei Yan sat down to accompany him.After a while, someone came to report suddenly, and Zhao Shi begged to see him outside the door.

"Father, I'll go out and see if Zhao Shi is in a hurry?" Wei Yan originally planned to go to the palace with his family to attend the palace banquet after lunch.

Today is New Year's Eve, and many clan princes, princes, and relatives will go to see the emperor, and the emperor will be very busy, so he is not in a hurry to make trouble in the palace.

"Go, put on your cloak, don't catch a cold." Old Master Wei told him carefully before letting him go out.

When Wei Yan came out of the Yimen Gate, he saw Zhao Shi and the others, dressed in unremarkable uniforms, leading a horse, standing beside Shangmashi.

"Master Hou!" Seeing him coming out, Zhao Shi came up to meet him.

"What's the matter?" Wei Yan asked him when he saw that he was dressed like he was going to do something.

"Master Hou, the government office will try Li Dalang's case later, do you want to listen to Master Hou?" Zhao Shi replied.

"Have you caught the murderer who killed Li Dalang?" Wei Yan asked anxiously.

The Li Dalang in Xiaozhai Street was purely innocent. After his death, he left orphans, widows and elderly people. Wei Yan felt very sympathetic to his family.Yesterday, he asked the housekeeper to deliver the funeral ceremony, and planned to go to worship in person after the new year.

"Yes." The emperor ordered that Zhao Shi was not allowed to talk too much in front of Wei Yan. Zhao Shi didn't dare to say anything, but the Marquis of Yongning went to attend the trial of the government office and heard something famous. Zhao Shi felt that the emperor should not blame him. head up.

"Okay, let's go there." Wei Yan looked at their luggage, and then at his own. His outfit was obviously too conspicuous, "Wait, I'm going to change clothes too."

"Master Hou, my subordinates have already made preparations." Zhao Shi untied a bundle from the side of the saddle, and took out a blue cloak.

He shook off the cloak, put a batch on Wei Yan's shoulders, and covered Wei Yan's luxurious clothes inside.

"Master Hou, the horse is ready." Zhao Shi brought another horse and handed over the rein.

Wei Yan got on the horse and led the people all the way to the government office.

When they arrived, many people had already gathered in front of the lobby of the government office to watch the excitement.

In addition to the wife of the suffering master Li Dalang, the members of the Li family, the neighbors of the Li family, and the idlers nearby who watched the fun, all came to see Mr. Fu Yin for his trial.

"Mighty!" As soon as the time came, all the yamen servants shouted in unison.

The crowd in front of the lobby quickly fell silent.

Not long after, Zhou Fuyin walked out from the back hall with square steps, and sat on the main seat.

"Silence, lead the prisoner!" Zhou Fu Yin ordered after he took his seat, patted the desk with a gavel.

"Take people to commit crimes!" The yamen servants on both sides of the class shouted again in unison.

"My lord, bring the criminal!" Soon, a criminal was brought over.

"Who is in the hall?"

Zhou Fuyin asked questions first, and the clerk in charge of recording took notes beside him. The criminal began to explain the situation in detail.

It turned out that this celebrity prisoner was a member of the Flying Fish Gang. He and a few others were ordered by their leader to hide on Li Dalang's way to work in the early morning of the 28th. When he was unaware, they rushed up and knocked him out. , tied a stone and threw it into the river.

Zhou Fuyin interrogated four criminals in a row, and all of them said the same thing. Zhou Fuyin felt that it was unusual to cooperate so well.

These idlers who go astray are all slick and slick, and they are usually not so easy to talk to.Usually it was under the three trees that they were willing to confess after using severe torture. Now Zhou Fu Yin didn't ask people to use torture, but they all recruited them. Looking at it, it makes people feel very unusual.

Everything abnormal is a demon.Zhou Fuyin thought so in his heart, but his face remained calm and continued to interrogate in an orderly manner.

"Does Li Dalang have any enmity with you?"

The four criminals all shook their heads.

"Since there is no grievance in the past and no hatred in the near future, why do you do this?"

"My lord, I don't know the little ones. I have to ask our guild leader about this. It was the guild leader who ordered us to do this."

"Bring the leader of the Feiyu Gang." Zhou Fuyin continued to order.

The leader of the Flying Fish Gang was a strong man with fists as big as bowls. Although he was handcuffed and anklets on his body, as soon as he walked out, the onlookers still took a big step back.

The so-called name of a person, the shadow of a tree, the fact that the Flying Fish Gang was able to gain a lot of fame in the side gate of the capital is due to the fact that the leader of this gang is indisputable.

"Who is in the hall?" Zhou Fu Yin actually had a rough trial of these people, but this is the trial process, so he asked again.

The leader of the Flying Fish Gang knelt on the ground and answered Zhou Fuyin's questions honestly, without any of the aura he had when he first appeared.

When Zhou Fu Yin asked him why he wanted to kill Li Dalang, he suddenly said: "My lord, I have a few words that I want to talk to you alone."

"Is there anything that cannot be said in court?" Zhou Fu Yin organized a public trial for the people to watch, just to prove that he had no private connection in this matter, so he was naturally unwilling to do so.

In the secret room, no matter what the other party said or didn't say to him, if someone with a heart knows it, they will probably think that he knows something. At that time, even if he is covered in mouths, he will not be able to speak clearly.

"Since the adults want the villain to speak up in class, then the villain will speak up." Of course, there is a reason for the members of the Flying Fish Gang to cooperate so much.

It fell into the hands of the hidden guards, and they couldn't cooperate if they wanted to.

"Go ahead." Zhou Fuyin nodded encouragingly.

"Probably on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, someone suddenly came to the villain and said that he was doing something for a nobleman. He gave the villain 200 taels of silver and asked the villain to send a few people to Xifeng County to watch a person and prevent him from going halfway. Slip away." The gang leader said loudly, very bachelor.

Hearing this, Zhou Fu Yin felt a little bit overwhelmed. Others didn't know about these things, but he understood as soon as he heard them. This was a matter involving a fight between gods and immortals. Can you let him speak so bluntly?

He was hesitating, but the big man continued to say: "On the 27th day, the man came to look for the villain again, and gave the villain 100 taels of silver, and asked the villain to kill Li Dalang on the 28th day, and then put his badge on his back. Throw it on the bridge."

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this.

It's come to this point.Zhou Fu Yin also got up as a bachelor, and asked: "And then? Who is that person, do you know?"

"The villain sent people to follow him. The first time, that person was very slippery, and the villain's people lost him. But the second time, the villain's people followed him and watched him enter Lord Wu's mansion. "

"Which Master Wu?"

"It's Deputy Commander Wu from the Guards Battalion."

"My lord, I beg my lord to give me the concubine's body and let Dalang be the master!" Li Dalang's wife knelt down in the lobby and cried bitterly when she heard this.

No matter how stupid a person is, with such a frank confession, he can understand that Mr. Wu is the culprit in these matters, and the members of the Flying Fish Gang are just his hired thugs.

"Do you know what is the crime for slandering an official appointed by the court?" Zhou Fu Yin's voice became severe.

"The villain knows, but everything the villain says is true, please learn from me."

"Do you still remember what that person looked like?" Zhou Fuyin was secretly displeased. This person didn't say anything before, but now he said it, obviously on purpose.

But even if he knew in his heart that there must be something strange in it, but when the case came to this point, he couldn't help but stop.

"The villain remembers." The big man told the appearance of the man one by one.

There are special personnel in the government office to draw shadows and graphics, and quickly draw the graphics according to his statement.

Zhou Fuyin asked people to show him the graphics, and after he was sure, he issued a signing order, asking people to invite Li Zheng and his neighbors from Lord Wu's mansion to ask if there was such a person.

Since he will offend people sooner or later, he must try this case carefully and properly.In order not to be ginsenged in a book at some time, saying that he listened to lies and judged cases indiscriminately, then he would be called an injustice.
