The young man, who had taken off his official uniform and only wore a homely white cloth robe, walked calmly among a group of armored guards. His pace was neither hasty nor slow, and his expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He did not look like a prisoner being escorted for trial. It was as if she was being escorted to court as a member of the imperial court.
Everyone had a blank look on their faces, praising the boy's magnanimity in their hearts. Only Ning Yi looked up and down with his eyes. Everything from the expression on his face to the nails on his fingers were examined in detail in an instant. Reviewed and got basically satisfactory results.
Peng Pei endured his irritation and waited for Feng Zhiwei to waddle up to the hall. He slapped the wooden door and said in a deep voice: "Hey! The people in the hall are guilty, why don't you..."
Before he could finish his words, and before the officials around him were astonished to stop Peng Pei, who was a bit out of his mind, Feng Zhiwei made a "pop" and knelt down smoothly.
Peng Pei was stunned for a moment. He wanted to give Feng Zhiwei a blow and take the opportunity to humiliate him, but he didn't expect that Feng Zhiwei had no integrity at all. He knelt so proactively and consciously that it seemed like he had punched his fist into cotton.
"Where are you from..."
"Wei Zhi, a native of Luoma Village, Changting County, Liuzhou Prefecture, Shannan Road, was born in the thirteenth year of Chengjialong. His father is Wei Jing and his mother is Yin Furong." Feng Zhiwei memorized the fake resume in a flurry, "Changxi was thirteen years old. Young Qingming Academy received His Majesty's special profile, and successively served as bachelor of Chaohua Palace, Youchunfang Youzhongyun, secretary of Qingming Academy, editor of "Tian Sheng Zhi", and minister of the Ministry of Rites..."
Eunuch Jia, the great **** of Jiuyi Palace, who was sitting on one side, laughed and said, "How many officials has this Master Wei held in two years?"
Everyone immediately looked at him with smiling eyes - although Eunuch Jia is an eunuch, he is an old man who has been serving His Majesty since he ascended the throne. In a place where people are killed like grass, the palace has been ups and downs for many years. If he is not defeated, he will never be a simple person. Today he was sent to hear the trial. In fact, it was the acting emperor who came in person. No one dared to ignore it.
Lao Jia was a person close to Emperor Tiansheng. He was always tight-lipped and cautious, and would not express his position on anything easily. Peng Pei and others' eyes flashed when they heard these words today - could this be what Eunuch Jia meant? The boy was promoted too quickly, is that inappropriate?
What Eunuch Jia means may be what His Majesty means.
Some people were excited, but some people frowned. Eunuch Jia laughed and waved his hand, saying: "I'm rude, I shouldn't interrupt randomly. I don't understand anything. Sirs, feel free to judge." Yes."
Peng Pei sneered, waited for Feng Zhi to finish the micro report, and said sternly: "Zhi Wei, if you don't keep me in custody, you will commit the crime of stealing the Spring Examination Questions, betraying His Majesty's love, one by one..."
"The guilty minister Wei Zhi accepted a bribe of five thousand gold from Li Changyong, a Taoist from Jianghuai, a student of Qingming Academy, and others. On the second night of March in the fifteenth year of Changxi, he took advantage of the opportunity of having a banquet at Yanchun Restaurant to steal You, Zhang and the two ministers of the Ministry of Rites took the key with them, and then ordered Gu Nanyi, a fourth-rank man with a knife, to go to the Ministry of Rites at night, kidnapped the night-duty official Wai Lang Jijiang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, tied him to the cellar under the south wall of the back kitchen of the Ministry of Rites, and then sneaked into the secret warehouse. The secret cabinet was used to steal the examination questions in the spring of Changxi's fifteenth year. Gu Nanyi handed them over to Li Changyong. Later, Li Changyong took the examination questions to the vicinity of Beisi Hutong with the intention of selling them, but was seized by the night patrol soldiers of the Imperial Palace..."
Feng Zhiwei spoke faster and faster in a room of stunned officials, her tone was flat and without any fluctuation, as if she was giving an endorsement. At the end, she suddenly stopped, raised her head, and smiled.
"The above is from the Minister of Punishment, Peng Pei, who last night ordered his sixth-grade prison officer Gui Jianzhou to prepare it in advance, with the intention of using severe torture to force Wei Zhi to confess the full text of the 'crime'!"
"You!"
The whole hall was in a state of shock, and Peng Pei stood up and shouted, "That's nonsense!"
"Why are you talking nonsense?" Feng Zhiwei raised her eyes and squinted at him, "You used severe torture to force me, and your subordinate Guijian Zhou tortured me with ten thousand snake bites..."
"Nonsense!"
"Shameless!"
"You are seeking death for being framed in court!" Peng Pei sneered. Anyway, the punishment was not carried out yesterday, so there is no evidence of death.
"You are stupid for denying it in public!" Feng Zhiwei also sneered, do you think the girl can't do anything to you without torture? Fool.
"Master Peng." Mr. Wu from the Cabinet saw the two men standing there with their necks stiffened like cocks, and couldn't help but remind him, "Where is that Prison Officer Guijian Zhou now? What do you mean, just pass it on for questioning and confrontation."
This was obviously to help Peng Pei. He didn’t ask whether Feng Zhiwei had any torture injuries, but he asked Gui Jianzhou. Gui Jianzhou was Peng Pei’s subordinate and a prison officer, so he asked him directly. It will definitely not be admitted.
Peng Pei opened his mouth and was stunned. Guijian Zhou was dead, but the cause of death could not be explained clearly. Yesterday, he was afraid of being blamed and did not dare to tell the public about the matter. He directly reported the mistake to the Imperial Palace. Falling into the water, if you want to find out the cause of Gui Jianzhou's death, you will inevitably find out Hua Qiong, and if you find out Hua Qiong, you will find out the origin of the murder. When the time comes, who knows what that terrible mouth will say?
"Gui Jianzhou slipped and fell into the water last night." He thought about it for a long time, and finally ignored someone's look and said coldly, "The body has been buried by his family today."
"What a coincidence to die..." The tenth prince muttered, holding his head in his hands, his voice not high, but everyone could hear him.
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a drum sounded in the distance. The sound was loud and majestic. There was only one sound, and everyone could hear it clearly. Then a government servant rushed over and said: "My lords, someone is beating a drum to complain... …”
"When did this happen? What kind of grievances are there!" Peng Pei was furious, "Send it to the clerk's office and record it first!"
The yamen servant did not leave, but muttered, "It is said that the test questions were leaked and the case was vindicated..."
Peng Pei's heart tightened, and he was about to think of a reason to refuse, when Ning Yi, who was above him, spoke first, "Xuan!"
He is one word, and there is no doubt about it. Some people want to stop him, but Ning Yi is the one with the highest status among the people present. If he really wants to put on airs, no one can say anything.
Then I heard someone striding towards me, laughing loudly as I walked: "Where is the Ministry of Punishment here? This is the Dragon Pond and the Tiger's Den! When I walked from the secret cell to the main entrance, ten groups of people stopped me!"
When Feng Zhiwei heard this voice, a warmth suddenly surged in her heart.
Peng Pei's expression changed.
The light and shadow flashed in front of the door, and a dashing Hua Qiong appeared, throwing a drumstick up and down in his hand. When he saw Peng Pei, he raised his hand and threw the drumstick over, and said with a smile: "You This Dengwen drum is too weak! It will break with just one strike of the mallet! Your punishment department cannot withstand scrutiny!"
