The drumstick came whistling and came with such force that Peng Pei was so frightened that his face changed. He no longer dared to hold up his stand and jumped back. The drumstick fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
"Hua Qiong!" the second prince shouted in a deep voice, "If you want to complain, complain, if you want to cause trouble in court again, I will throw you out!"
"Who said I wanted to complain?" Hua Qiong looked sideways, and everyone in the hall was startled.
"Then you..." Dali Temple Qing said doubtfully.
"I surrender!" Hua Qiong raised his head, not as if he surrendered but as if he was being conferred, "I killed Gui Jianzhou!"
The whole hall was silent for another moment, and the tenth prince muttered in time, "Hey, didn't you say that he slipped and fell into the water?"
"Who is talking nonsense in front of you and telling you that you slipped and fell into the water?" Hua Qiong smiled ferociously, "What you lost is a dog's life, what you fell into is muddy water! Yesterday, the sixth-grade prison officer Gui Jianzhou was tortured by Mr. Peng in the secret cell of the Ministry of Punishment Instigated, I tried to use the torture of ten thousand snakes to extract a confession from Wei Zhi, a high-ranking official in the dynasty. I happened to see him when I was visiting Mr. Wei. I tried to persuade him, but Gui Jianzhou was so mad that he stabbed me with a knife..." She rolled up her sleeves. The wound was deliberately bandaged three times inside and three outside, and the three-inch wound on the arm was wrapped into a mallet, "I was forced to have no choice but to accidentally kill Katsura Mizuo while trying to avoid it - I surrendered today!"
"You!" Peng Pei was so angry that he almost fainted. Before he could say anything, Hua Qiong suddenly took a step back, grabbed Feng Zhiwei's sleeves and stroked them, saying, "There is no basis for what you say. This!"
Everyone craned their necks and saw that Feng Zhiwei’s arms were covered with deep and shallow wounds, glowing with blood, which looked like they were bitten by something. Everyone gasped when they saw the blood.
"Wan She..." Eunuch Jia turned pale, "Does the Ministry of Punishment have such a terrible punishment?"
"Thousands of snakes!" The tenth prince was about to vomit, angrily, "You can't kill someone without a bow! Do you need to be so vicious?"
The moment Hua Qiong stroked Feng Zhiwei’s sleeves, Ning Yi, who had been leaning against him, immediately sat up straight and glanced over. After taking a closer look, there was a funny look in his eyes, which he covered with a tea cup. He leaned his face back again, but shouted angrily, "Peng Pei! Who allows you to abuse lynching before the trial begins?"
"My lords, your highnesses, Eunuch Jia..." Feng Zhiwei called out sadly, then leaned down with tears in her eyes.
Her thin shoulders were like a crane that was about to rise in the air but had its wings broken, rustling in the wind.
Except for some people, the whole house was in mourning. Seeing that the first-class national hero who had been welcomed into the capital by hundreds of officials not long ago suddenly fell into prison and suffered such a disaster, everyone felt like a rabbit dying and a fox hurting its own kind.
Feng Zhi doesn’t say a word, but he is very charming.
Peng Pei had been there for a long time, and then jumped up and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense, you are framed! We did not punish you at all..."
"Master Peng!" Feng Zhiwei raised his head sadly and angrily, staring at him with stern eyes, "Seeing is believing, how dare you deny it?"
"You are making a false accusation!" Peng Pei was furious, "You are making a false accusation in court, are you considered a first-class official?"
"If you don't admit it when something happens, are you considered the number one person in prison in the country?"
"Why should I torture you?" Peng Pei was so angry at this shameless frame-up that he had veins on his neck, "You can do it so fast, there is no need to torture you!"
"Yesterday you forced me to do this!"
"Where did you confess this!"
"Why didn't I recruit this?"
"You clearly recruited you as a secret agent of Dai Viet. What did you say that you were directly under the jurisdiction of His Royal Highness King An of Dai Viet?" Peng Pei blurted out in anger. By the time he realized that he had been deceived and said the wrong thing, it was already too late.
"Dai Viet secret agent?" Ning Yi sat up straight with a serious expression, "Peng Shangshu, why didn't you report such an important case to me immediately?"
"Qianjiwei?" The tenth prince opened his round eyes wide, "I've heard of it! The number one spy in Vietnam, specially stationed in various countries!"
"Why wasn't such an important case reported to the cabinet immediately?" Academician Hu squinted his eyes.
Sweat broke out on Peng Pei's forehead.
"Everyone." The second prince, who had been unable to get in the conversation, couldn't help but speak, "If Wei Zhi is really a Da Viet spy, his case is serious, even more so if the test questions are leaked, which is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans, and Wei Zhi is not a fool. , how can you deny a minor crime and admit to a serious crime?"
"Second brother is very reasonable." Ning Yi responded immediately, but the second prince did not relax. He stared at him with stern eyes and heard him say casually, "But since the criminal has made this confession, according to my Tiansheng According to the law, no matter what the criminal's confession is, it must be recorded in court and reported to the court for verification - Mr. Peng, I have not seen this confession in Wei Zhi's case file. I summoned you last night to inquire about the case, and you did not Mention this to me."
"Your Highness..." Peng Pei's forehead was beaded with sweat, and he said in a low voice, "This is nonsense, full of ridiculous words, what is the code name 'Climbing Higher and Higher', Pucheng Qian was captured The purpose of escaping after all the hardships is to win the trust of His Majesty, steal the position of an important minister, intend to disrupt the Tiansheng National Talent Recruitment Ceremony, use the leaked test questions to incite a student unrest, link up with the reaction, and unite with the generals of the Tiansheng border army. In the name of the imperial capital, Vietnam sent millions of troops to northern Xinjiang to respond... It is full of absurdity, how dare you submit it to heaven to make your majesty angry and arbitrarily trigger the prison?"
"Sounds very reasonable." The Tenth Prince held back his laughter and blinked his big eyes, "I don't think there is any loophole at all. Why do you think it's ridiculous, Mr. Peng?"
"Master Peng, this is what you are wrong about." Ge Yuanxiang, the commander of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was born as a Jinshi and was recently promoted. He has not yet intervened in the muddy waters of officialdom. He said purely based on the facts, "No matter how absurd the confession of the prisoner is, it should be recorded truthfully. And we have verified that this is also the fair and bright part of the prison code. There is no need to investigate this article if you are charged with a misdemeanor and reported as a felony. You, the Ministry of Punishment, do not think it is absurd to not investigate this article. Mr. Peng, although you are not from an old criminal background, you should Knowing the laws of the country, it is really hard to convince people with this line and this statement."
"I am not convinced by Mr. Peng's last sentence." Ning Yi drank tea and said leisurely, "What do you mean by arousing His Majesty's anger and arrogating to jail? Your Majesty is wise and wise, and is extremely wise. Is it true or false? Who is right and who is wrong, when you are in front of him, it will be obvious at a glance, so how can you talk about taking rash actions? Does Mr. Peng think that His Majesty is the kind of mediocre king who will make rash moves when his subordinates say random things?"
