The Golden Age Chapter 59: Leveraging on strength

Dali Temple Qing Su Yu was naturally very concerned about Wei Bi's case. Although he did not come forward, Fei Xin has reported the details of Qin Xiao's trial yesterday.

In the first trial, Qin Xiao didn't catch Wei Bi. The so-called witnesses could not produce any evidence that could convict Wei Bi. The result of the first trial was a complete failure in Dali Temple.

He was disappointed in his heart. According to this situation, it is a foolish dream to convict Wei Bi.

Once Wei Bi cannot be judged guilty in the end, Dali Temple will naturally become a bigger laughing stock, and there is no hope of competing with the Criminal Ministry.

He was disappointed, but also a little fortunate. He only felt that he still had the foresight. He didn't intervene from the beginning to the end of this case. He just let Qin Xiao handle it. As long as he didn't get involved, he still had a maneuver with the Criminal Ministry. Room.

"My lord...!" There was a rush of footsteps outside the door. Before anyone arrived, Fei Xin's voice had already come in, and he didn't even have time to tell him outside the door. He went straight in, raised his hand and waved. A document: "Acknowledge it, Wei...Wei Bi, he acknowledged it!"

Faixin was panting, apparently trotting all the way.

"What did you recognize?" Su Yu was a little suspicious.

Fai Xin came up, gasping for breath: "Wei Bi has confessed his guilt, he...he has signed and confessed, confessed, confessed...that everything was instructed by him behind his back. "

Su Yu was extremely surprised, stretched out his hand to **** the confession from Fei Xin, glanced a few times, and was delighted, but also surprised: "What's the matter? It's not that there is no evidence to prove that the mastermind is Wei Bi, he Why do you sign and draw?"

"The humble post.... The humble post feels incredible." Fei Xin succumbed to the air, and then said: "In the hall today, Qin Shaoqing had planned to rule Wei Bi innocent, but Wei Bi suddenly confessed, claiming that Wei Bi was not guilty. Everything Cheng did was instructed by him behind his back, and he was willing to confess his sins and slay the law."

Su Yu opened her eyes wide, and said in doubt: "He took the initiative to confess his guilt? No other reason?"

"No." Fei Xin shook his head and said, "Wei Bi claimed that Wei Cheng was instructed by him. If Wei Cheng was allowed to commit the crime, his conscience would be disturbed, so...so he took the initiative to confess and signed the confession. Qin Shaoqing got the confession and handed it over to the humble post, and asked the humble post to present it to the adults."

Su Yu was stunned, and said after a moment: "Wei Bi.....Is Wei Bi who lost his mind? This person is not a stupid person. There is no evidence to convict him. How can he take the initiative to confess?" I thought it was unbelievable. I picked up the confession and looked at it carefully. There was indeed Wei Bi's signature.

Fai Xin said: "The humble post has never seen such a thing happen. It is obviously impossible to convict the prisoner. The prisoner actually confessed his guilt. Wei Bi.....Wei Bi seems to be really stunned at the time. Seeing that, I thought I was dreaming."

Su Yu pondered slightly, and finally asked: "Where is Wei Bi now?"

"Already in jail, although Wei Cheng is not the mastermind, but he kills with his own hands, the blame is inevitable, and he is also imprisoned." Fei Xin said: "The case has been settled, and then only need to review how to convict. ."

"Wei Cheng is the steward of Weifu. He knows that even if the report is successful, he himself will be guilty, but he still came to hand in the complaint." Su Yu thoughtfully: "Wei Bi, we clearly He didn’t get the evidence to convict him, but he took the initiative to plead guilty, this

...This case is really strange. Could it be that the Wei Mansion is really haunted, and both the master and the servant were blindfolded by the resentful spirit? "

Fai Xin said: "Overnight, Wei Bi changed drastically. What happened in the middle is also baffling."

Su Yu leaned on the chair, was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Where was Wei Bi locked up last night?"

"It's in the yard where Qin Shaoqing handles the job." Fei Xin whispered: "It is reasonable to say that no suspects were arranged to stay there, but Qin Shaoqing did just that. Although the humble position was not appropriate at the time, neither So much to say."

"In other words, Qin Xiao and Wei Bi were in the same courtyard last night?"

"Yes!"

"Then what special happened in the yard last night?" Su Yu asked, staring at Fei Xin.

Fei Xin thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "Zhu Dongshan from the Ministry of Justice met with Qin Shaoqing at Dali Temple at the latest. Qin Shaoqing invited him to the courtyard, but without Qin Shaoqing's instructions, others did not dare to enter, but Zhu Dongshan was in the courtyard. Stayed here for a while."

Su Yu seemed to understand something, and said: "Wei Bi took the initiative to plead guilty, and he must have something to do with Zhu Dongshan."

"My lord means that Zhu Dongshan helped Qin Xiao to let Wei Bi take the initiative to confess his guilt?"

"How can Zhu Dongshan have such a kind heart." Su Yu sneered, and said: "The cadre of the torture department is waiting for Qin Xiao and our Dali Temple to make a fool of himself, and it is absolutely impossible to help Qin Xiao with the case." A face of doubt, he groaned. For a moment, a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth and said: "That's it!"

Fai Xin hasn't understood yet, Su Yu already stroked his beard and sighed: "The younger generation is terrible, the younger generation is terrible, Qin Xiao is so young, he can't think of the methods so smart and sophisticated, this is really unexpected for the old man."

"My lord, did you mean?"

"Qin Xiao's trick is called leveraging power." Su Yu sighed, "Why did you arrange Wei Bi in his courtyard when Qin Xiao? He just wanted Wei Bi to see Zhu Dongshan appear Dali Temple."

"My lord said, Qin Shaoqing used Zhu Dongshan to shake Wei Bi?"

Su Yu laughed and said: "Wei Bi must have seen Zhu Dongshan and Qin Xiao together, and he must have guessed that Zhu Dongshan and Qin Xiao must be talking about his case. Wei Bi is a smart person, and he understands naturally in his heart. When Dali Temple took this case, there must be a conflict with the Criminal Ministry, and the Criminal Ministry must also want to take the case. This Guanglu Temple Cheng is very calm in our Dali Temple, because he knows that we have no evidence, so why can't we do it? He, so he is not afraid of us, but if the Criminal Department intervenes, Wei Bi will panic."

After all, Fei Xin is also a long-term officialdom. Su Yu reminded him to understand: "Wei Bi is worried that this case will be transferred to the Criminal Ministry. He knows that as long as he is thrown to the Criminal Ministry, Lu Junzhong will be able to let him Draw on the plea of ​​guilt, so I am afraid."

"Wei Bi has been in Kyoto for many years. Although when he entered Beijing, the Criminal Department was not as lawless as it was back then, but Wei Bi must be clear about what happened that year." Su Yu calmly said: "The Criminal Department sixteen. Wei Bi could not know the door. After entering the yamen of the Criminal Ministry, the lunatics would definitely make him sign the confession by any means. Qin Xiao deliberately asked Wei Bi to see Zhu Dongshan appearing at Dali Temple, so naturally he wanted to use the Criminal Ministry to intimidate him. Wei Bi, Wei Bi is terrified of the Ministry of Punishment. He must be thinking that instead of being tortured and signed and detained at the Ministry of Punishment, it is better to confess honestly at Dali Temple. This will at least avoid the pain of skin and flesh."

"Speaking of which, Qin last night

Shaoqing said to Wei Bi that if Wei Bi didn't take the initiative to confess, he would send him to Dali Temple? "

Su Yu changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and smiled faintly: "What did Qin Xiao say, or what other methods were used, it doesn’t matter. This young man took this case, it shouldn’t have happened. I thought about allowing Wei Bi to confess his guilt in the lobby. From the very beginning, he was prepared to use the Criminal Ministry." Fusu smiled and said, "This is also due to the notoriety of the Criminal Ministry. Wei Bi."

Fei Xin sighed: "Qin Shaoqing really did a good job. No wonder he told Humble Job yesterday that it is impossible to get the result of the trial in the lobby. He also said that the trial is just bait, in order to lure fish into the bait. This bait is naturally Zhu Dongshan."

"The fish in Qin Xiao’s mouth is not necessarily Zhu Dongshan, but with the help of an open court trial, so that the criminals can catch the matter and not let go. As long as the criminals appear in front of Wei Bi, Wei Bi will be there. Can’t stand it anymore.” Su Yu said with emotion: “Up and down Dali Temple, people in the Ministry of Justice are hated. No matter who takes the case at Dali Temple, the most worried thing is that people from the Ministry of Justice will intervene in order to avoid it. , But Qin Xiao did well. He just let the criminals get involved, and even the old man couldn’t think of this skill with his strength."

Fei Xin smiled and said: "Zhu Dongshan didn't expect to be confused and became a tool used by Qin Shaoqing."

"The next generation is terrible." Su Yu sighed again: "Fei Xin, since Wei Bi has pleaded guilty, you immediately call the officials to discuss the guilt, and immediately submit the case to the Zhongshu after the conclusion of the case. The case must be dealt with. It’s an iron case."

"Is your lord worried that the Criminal Ministry will reverse the case?"

"With Lu Junzhong's temperament, it is very likely that he would do this." Su Yu looked solemnly: "But since Qin Xiao did it, he won't let the Criminal Ministry reverse the case. If Lu Junzhong insists on the case, let Qin Xiao stand up. In the front, we will help each other in the back." A faint smile: "If Lu Junzhong asks the saint to retry the case, then you can see the attitude of the saint. If the saint does not expressly ask the criminal department to retry the case, it will prove the old man’s previous guess. That’s right, the saint really wants to use Qin Xiao to take back the power of Dali Temple. If that is the case, we can let go of our hands and feet and take the stage to perform."

Faixin handed his hand: "My lord is wise, immediately discuss the crime with everyone at the humble job. Today, I must discuss the punishment result."

Qin Xiao's case can only determine who is guilty, but what kind of punishment should be imposed requires the two monks in Dali Temple to convene the judges, Sizhi, and commenters in the Yamen together to determine the penalty in accordance with the law of the Tang Dynasty. After that, it was submitted to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple will also make a final ruling.

The night is faint, and a magnificent mansion in Xingningfang to the east of the imperial city is bathed in moonlight.

As we all know, Xingningfang is where the relatives and relatives of the emperor lived. For the common people, Xingningfang is like an imperial city, and it is not a place to step into.

This is a vast mansion, even the alley behind the mansion is very spacious, the floor is covered with bluestone slabs, and the corners are even specially designed for drainage ditches.

Under the night, a figure hurriedly came to the back door of the mansion and knocked on the door a few times. After a while, the back door opened, and the figure took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to the gatekeeper, and whispered: "I am Dali The temple recommends Zhang Rang, if you have an urgent matter, please see Manager Lin, please pass it on!"

The janitor took a look at Yu Pei and gave it back to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang entered the door. Then he looked around in the back alley with his probe, then retracted his head and quickly closed the door.
