The three adults sat down, and Yu Zhi also stood in the hall. This rather serious trial of the three divisions had already begun.
The government officials on both sides held iron rods in their hands and kept beating the ground, shouting "Might~Martial~"
The gavel lifted and fell.
The bright and majestic voice suppressed the whispers of countless people outside the court.
At this moment, only Han Yang could speak.
"Today, Dali Temple, together with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, and the three departments will interrogate the case of arson in Youquan Villa and the murder of Zhao Jie. I, Han Yang, the minister of Dali Temple, is in charge, Jiang Qing, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Qian Fangyuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, are the associate .”
"The person in the hall is the suspect Yu Zhi?"
Yu Zhi stood there and said, "Yes."
Qian Fangyuan glanced at the jurors, and Zhao Kai's figure was prominently among them, in the corner. He avoided suspicion and sat in the corner to listen.
Qian Fangyuan coughed and said, "Yu Zhi, why don't you kneel down?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhi didn't care, he should have knelt down. But Han Yang's face looked a little ugly. I, the chief judge, didn’t say anything. What the hell did you say?
Yu Zhi looked at Qian Fangyuan, then bowed slightly to Han Yang and others, and said: "I have returned to Beijing on the emperor's order to resume my duties. I still have the imperial edict in my arms, so it is inconvenient for me to kneel down."
The imperial edict represents Emperor Chu. How can he kneel with the imperial edict of Emperor Chu?
Qian Fangyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "You are a suspect, why don't you hand over your belongings?"
When Yu Zhi heard this, he spread his hands to show his innocence and replied: "When the official was imprisoned, no one searched him, so naturally he had to carry the imperial edict with him."
Qian Fangyuan wanted to speak again, but Han Yang interrupted coldly: "Master Qian, Dali Temple does not have such rules, and there is no need for such rules. Even if the prisoners who come to Dali Temple come in with explosives, I will not Let him take it with him. Does Mr. Qian still want to take charge of the affairs of Dali Temple?"
Qian Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed a few times.
No one expected that the Ministry of Punishment would be the first to make a fool of themselves after the court opened.
Han Yang said: "Zhi Yu, I would like to ask you, are you responsible for the arson of Youquan Villa and the dozens of lives in the Villa?"
Youquan Villa was the one that turned into ruins that night, and the dozens of people who died in the fire were the residents.
Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "I didn't do it. I had no motive to kill them."
Han Yang continued: "Then how do you explain the appearance of Zhao Jie's body in your carriage? The evidence is conclusive, do you still want to deny it?"
Han Yang's words got to the point and were also the most critical evidence in the case.
Zhao Jie's body was found on Yu Zhi's carriage. The body was still warm when it was discovered, indicating that it had just died.
Everyone's eyes fell on Yu Zhi, and they all wanted to hear Yu Zhi's explanation.
Qian Fangyuan spoke again: "This is the incriminating evidence found at the scene. You must have been unable to destroy the body in time, so you hid the body in the carriage and prepared to smuggle it out."
Qian Fangyuan's words made Han Yang frown again.
This person is really too noisy.
Jiang Qing, who had been silent until now, said: "Master Qian, let Yu Zhi explain the matter first."
Qian Fangyuan opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Yu Zhi's eyes were bright and he spoke slowly: "The fire in the villa and the dozens of lives that died in the fire have nothing to do with me. On the contrary, I am also one of the victims. That night, a group of masked killers assassinated me. Okay. Because of my great fortune and great fortune, I have escaped fire and assassination.”
"But you still haven't explained why Zhao Jie's body appeared in your carriage." Han Yang asked calmly. A few days ago, Han Yang heard Yu Zhi personally admit that Zhao Jie was killed by Yu Zhi.
But Han Yang hasn't figured out the strangeness yet.
Han Yang's every sentence was to the point, and he asked questions about the crux of the case, cleanly and neatly.
Yu Zhi raised his head slightly and looked directly at Han Yang.
"Someone is setting me up!"
"May I ask your lords, who would hide a corpse in his carriage and wait for someone to prove his guilt?"
"Do you, sir, think that all the officials in our Procuratorate are so stupid?"
Jiang Qing stopped him in time and said: "Speak carefully. Officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all chosen from thousands of people. How could they be stupid?"
Just say what you say, and the court will investigate whatever you say? .....Jiang Qing glared at Yu Zhi.
But Yu Zhi turned sideways slightly, deliberately pretending not to see Jiang Qing.
Qian Fangyuan snorted coldly and said: "Perhaps this is your cunningness. I'm afraid you planned it long ago and deliberately hid the body for today's defense."
Immediately, many of the juror officials nodded.
It is true that there are many similar calculations in past history.
Yu Zhi stared at Qian Fangyuan with burning eyes. It was not surprising that Qian Fangyuan was so aggressive. But the host was Dali Temple, and Qian Fangyuan talked more than Han Yang, so it was inevitable that he would overshadow the guest and usurp the host.
Let him make a noise. The more noisy he is, the more annoying he will be.
Han Yang glanced at Qian Fangyuan casually and said nothing. He leaned slightly against the chair, relaxed his body as if taking a nap in the afternoon, and allowed Qian Fangyuan to "bite" Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi laughed sarcastically and said: "As you said, everything has a plan. It wasn't a plan for me to be framed, so when I opened my mouth to defend myself, it was premeditated? I asked you to say all the good things, and everything I said came true. So quibbling. Isn’t this too bullying?”
Qian Fangyuan puffed up his chubby round face, and the two mustaches at the corners of his mouth trembled, like plucked piano strings.
"The fact that Zhao Jie's body was hidden in your carriage is irrefutable evidence for everyone to see. If you want to convince others, you have to show proof."
Yu Zhi immediately said: "Of course I have the certificate. However, my certificate is with another person. Please call him here."
"Who is it?" Han Yang asked.
Yu Zhi said: "That night, search the left servant of the Ministry of War, Fu Taining, who is getting off the carriage!"
Qian Fangprin said with a sneer: "Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Fu has found out the evidence of your crime and got both the stolen goods and the stolen goods. Do you still want to sue him for framing you?"
"Exactly! Yu Zhi, the secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, filed a lawsuit against Fu Taining, the left minister of the Ministry of War, for falsely accusing him of murder. Sir, please give me justice."
Han Yang stared at Yu Zhi, his eyes like snow in the wind, thinking carefully about something.
Qian Fangyuan pointed at Yu Zhi and said angrily: "You, you, you... are so messy. The one who comes here will hit twenty big boards first!"
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Qing said again: "Since it's Fu Taining who arrested him, what's wrong with letting Fu Taining go to court to tell what happened?"
Jiang Qing did not say that Yu Zhi sued Fu Taining, but only asked Fu Taining to go to court and explain the incident.
When Han Yang heard this, he was stunned.
"Come here, summon Fu Taining!"
...
...
In the imperial palace, Chu Emperor Xiao Yuande walked out of Chengming Hall, followed by the eunuchs from a distance.
"Your Majesty, Master Han summoned Fu Taining, the left minister of the Ministry of War." The eunuch An Fuzhi said.
Xiao Yuande was walking alone in the Imperial Garden. He had too many things to think about.
Originally, Xiao Yuande wanted to recall Yu Zhi and send him to Nanzhou Mansion to become a sharp knife in his hand.
But Yu Zhi had an accident on his way back to Beijing, which also disrupted Xiao Yuande's plan.
"Letting him return to the capital was a test. What I didn't expect was that you led four people from Yanyun's Eighteenth Cavalry. Some of Xiang Ji's forces in the north were also found out by me. Compared with Yanyun's Eighteenth Cavalry, The means, this fire is too rough."
"This boy is too far behind his father, and he underestimates Yu Zhi too much. Today's results will be beyond everyone's expectations. It's really interesting, young people today are more capable than back then."
Xiao Yuande looked into the distance, and a figure broke into his sight.
Exquisite robes, dazzling jewelry, and graceful and luxurious temperament all indicate the person's noble status.
"Your Majesty." The queen saluted Xiao Yuande.
Xiao Yuande looked at the wife who had been by his side since he was young. From the prince's concubine to the empress who is now the empress of the world, many wrinkles appeared on her originally youthful face.
Xiao Yuande nodded and reached out to gently brush the queen's hair. "The queen manages the entire harem, which is really hard work."
The queen followed Xiao Yuande and said: "The peace of the harem is not as good as your majesty's concern for world affairs. But what really worries me is Yao'er's marriage. He is not young anymore. His majesty was still young at that time. Years old, we have already given birth to Yao'er."
Xiao Yuande looked nostalgic. He was still a prince at that time, a carefree prince. Those years were also his most comfortable days.
"Yao'er, he has grown up and has the heart to make contributions. This is excellent." Xiao Yuande praised. "After the racecourse is stable, I will let Yao'er come back."
The queen said: "The child in Chuchen is very good. He often comes to accompany me, which is very filial."
Xiao Yuande did not answer. He knew that everything from the imperial palace to Beiliang Mansion was a secret that could not be told.
At this moment, a fast horse passed quickly through the city gate of Kyoto, looking in the direction of Dali Temple.
The people came from the north, and countless horses were killed in just a few days. Starting from the northern border, he never stopped, working day and night all the way to Kyoto.
...
Fu Taining was still confused until he came to Dali Temple.
The servant only brought back a letter from Prince Chu's Mansion, with two words written on it - Peace of mind!
Obviously, these two words cannot make Fu Taining feel at ease.
The blood-red gate of the government office looked like a big mouth that was about to swallow people up.
Fu Taining walked towards the court step by step, his steps were soft and soft, he looked more like a prisoner than Yu Zhi. He saw Xiang Jinghao, whose eyes were like a vicious tiger eating a man, warning Fu Taining not to talk nonsense.
Fu Taining's heart trembled, and now he knew what Yu Zhi's words meant.
In the court, there are few people who are powerless and powerless. If Yu Zhi was really powerless and powerless, there would not be such a drama as the Tribunal Tribunal.
"Sir, Fu Taining, the left minister of the Ministry of War, has been brought here." After the officer spoke, he stepped aside.
Fu Taining bowed slightly. He was not a prisoner. His official position was at the same level as Qian Fangyuan, and he was also a high-ranking person.
Han Yang glanced at Fu Taining and said to Yu Zhi: "Now that the people have been brought, you can confront Fu Taining in court."
Yu Zhi turned sideways slightly and looked at Fu Taining. Except that his face was a little dirty, Yu Zhi's leisurely and calm expression remained unchanged.
"That night, there was a fire in Youquan Villa, and the entire villa was burned down in the fire. But within a cup of tea after the fire, Lord Fu came to the villa with his troops."
"Youquan Villa is located in the mountains, remote and quiet, and some distance away from the official road. I would like to ask you, after a sudden fire, Master Fu visited late at night. Is this too much of a coincidence?"
"What's even more coincidental is that Master Fu found Zhao Jie's body in my carriage after concluding that someone had set the fire."
"Hmph, there are many coincidences in the world, but there are very few coincidences that happen one after another."
