Chapter 59 I am a good person
Dongcheng Ya.
prison.
Lin Xiu has entered the palace for the second time.
It's miserable to say that although he has a ninth-rank official status, in the official system of Daxia, the seventh-rank is considered to be in the stream. The small yamen, if you want to arrest, you will be arrested.
The identity of Uncle Ping'an's son is even more useless.
It would be alright if Uncle Pingan was him, but if the rich and powerful were involved, at least the Department of Officials and the Department of Punishment would have the authority to deal with it. The son of a powerful and powerful man would be no fart until his father's title was passed down.
Of course, if there is a strong father, even if he committed some crimes, they would not dare to catch him with the courage of the Dongcheng Yamen.
I don't know if it's fate, Lin Xiu is now in the same cell as last time.
Not long after he was locked in, there were footsteps coming from far and near outside.
Several figures came from the passage, the front one was a strange young man, followed by the jailer and the police, Wu Qing followed at the back, and Lin Xiu, who had a grudge against him, was imprisoned again, he was not only not very happy , and even a little scared.
Once bitten, twice shy.
He was afraid that Lin Xiu would play tricks on him again.
Last time, he really wandered around the ghost gate. He was afraid of Lin Xiu from the bottom of his heart.
The strange young man walked up to Lin Xiu's cell, folded his arms, looked at him with scrutiny, and said, Killing people in the street, how courageous, you think your father is Uncle Pingan and can do whatever he wants, the king is a bit powerful, It's really lawless...
Lin Xiu looked at him expressionlessly and said, Who are you?
A policeman said: This is the young master Cheng Ling, please be more polite!
The last time it was Dongcheng Lieutenant, this time it was simply replaced by Dongcheng Order. As Li Baizhang said, the entire Dongcheng Yamen is like the backyard of the Yongping Hou Mansion.
Lin Xiu looked at Young Master Ling of Dongcheng and said, There are some dignitaries in the royal capital who are really lawless. They even sacrificed their lives to frame me...
Wang Hong, the son of Dongcheng Ling, smiled and said: You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. So many people saw you kill with your own eyes. You can't justify this. Right and wrong have their own justice. You will go to court soon, you Just know.
After finishing speaking, he turned and left, but before he left, he turned his head back and said in a low voice: Don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for provoking someone you shouldn't...
Wu Qing followed Wang Hong and left. Until now, he had not seen any expression of fear or panic on Lin Xiu's face.
How similar is it to last time?
However, he couldn't figure it out at all. This time, Yang Xuan's arrangement was perfect, Lin Xiu's murder was witnessed by countless people, and Dongcheng Ling was a member of the Yang family, how else could he make a comeback?
Full of doubts, Wu Qing left here.
Not long after, there was another sound of footsteps in the prison cell. Lieutenant Dongcheng brought a few guards to Lin Xiu's cell door, and said helplessly, Mr. Lin, come with me. Lord Cheng Ling personally ordered me to try the case personally, but I can't help it...
For Lin Xiu, Lieutenant Dongcheng didn't feel resentful, but rather grateful.
After all, last time, the other party really let him go, so that he could continue to sit in Dongchengwei's position.
He didn't want to make things difficult for Lin Xiu, but he couldn't disobey the order of Dongcheng Order, so he could only say: Young Master Lin, I don't want to do this either, I hope you don't blame me.
Although he gave birth to an unreliable son, Lin Xiu had a pretty good impression of Wei Dongcheng.
A few days ago, he met the old man who was locked in the cell last time on the street. He said that after he left, Lieutenant Dongcheng released them all. On weekdays, the Dongcheng Yamen colluded with the powerful and wealthy businessmen to oppress the people. , and basically all made by Dongcheng Order.
Although this person is not a good official, he is not too bad either.
So the cell was opened, and when Lin Xiu walked out of the cell door, she seemed to casually glance at Lieutenant Dong Cheng, and then shook her head imperceptibly.
Dong Chengwei noticed Lin Xiu's action.
Then there was a coolness rising from his tailbone and rushing straight to his forehead, making his scalp numb instantly.
There is fraud!
There is fraud in this case!
Mr. Lin doesn't want him to interfere!
After glancing at Lieutenant Dongcheng, Lin Xiu walked straight to the door of the cell. Lieutenant Dongcheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and after several changes in his face, he suddenly bent down and covered his stomach, and wailed, Oh, no, no, my officer! Why is my stomach hurting so much, I'm going to the latrine, you tell Lord Cheng Ling, let him try this case!
After a while, after hearing the news that Lieutenant Dongcheng had a stomachache and was unable to hear the case, Dongcheng Ling cursed inwardly, but still put on his official uniform, walked out from the back office, came to the court, sat upright, and slapped the gavel, Shen Sheng asked the young people in the hall: The servant committed the crime, you can be convicted!
An official as big as sesame and mung bean can be regarded as an official, so Lin Xiu can avoid kneeling in the courtroom. He raised his head and asked Dongcheng Ling: I don't know, please tell me clearly.
Dongcheng Ling patted the gavel again, and said angrily: You killed someone in the theater, and I don't know how many people witnessed it with their own eyes. Do you still want to make excuses?
Lin Xiu asked: Since it's a homicide case, according to the rules, the Dongcheng Yamen doesn't seem to have the authority to try it?
Dongcheng Ling snorted coldly, and said, Don't think that I don't know that you are the son of Uncle Ping'an, or the secretary of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department. If you really want to hand you over to the Qing Officials Department, maybe they will excuse you. The parental officer in Dongcheng, how can he ignore such a big case in his jurisdiction, the official will investigate the case first, and then, of course, the file will be handed over to the Department of Criminal Justice, and there will be adults there who will take over.
What he said was righteous and full of righteous indignation. People who didn't know it might really think that he was a parent official who loved the people like a son.
Dongcheng Ling patted the gavel again, and said loudly, Lin Xiu, you will not recruit for the murder in public!
Lin Xiu shrugged and said, Isn't your lord the most clear about whether I killed someone or not?
Okay, you! Dongcheng stood up angrily, took out a warrant stick from the tube, threw it on the ground, and said, Killing people in public and not knowing how to repent, torture this officer, this kind of wicked person, don't let him suffer He will not be honest with the pain of flesh and blood!
Soon, several arresters took out various instruments of torture.
Dongcheng Ling looked at Lin Xiu and asked, Do you want to be punished first with the rod, the slap, or the signature? I will give you a chance to choose.
Just as he finished speaking, a figure who had been standing outside the courtroom for a long time walked in slowly.
It was Zhu Jin who was ordered to investigate the case.
His Majesty told him not to be in a hurry and wait for the people behind the scenes to jump out, but at this moment Lin Xiu was about to be punished, the imperial concubine and empress said, don't let him suffer a little bit of grievance, really want Dongcheng Ling to punish him, and make the empress angry, His Majesty can't protect him either.
In the palace, the person he fears most is the imperial concubine.
Zhu Jin looked up at Dongcheng Ling and asked, You said just now that someone from the Ministry of Criminal Justice will take over the case. Who is that person?
A person who disturbed the court suddenly broke in from outside. Dongcheng Ling was stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses, and said in a deep voice: Who are you, and what qualifications do you have to question this officer, come here, drag him out for a while Interrogate again!
Don't tell me, right? Zhu Jin didn't look at him again, but raised his hand, waved forward, and said, To win the Dongcheng Order, first you will be punished with a stick, then you will be punished, and finally you will be signed until he speaks out. until.
When his words fell, more than a dozen masked figures in black robes came in from outside and lined up on both sides of the courtroom.
At the same time, for unknown reasons, the ground of Dongcheng Yamen also began to tremble slightly.
Outside the yamen, the nearby people were also frightened when they saw rows of heavily armed guards enclosing the Dongcheng yamen.
what happened?
Why are the guards here!
Why did the imperial guards surround the yamen? Something big happened, it must have happened!
...
At this moment in the courtroom, Dongcheng Ling saw those men in black and the patterns on their clothes, so he stood up from his seat in shock, and said in a trembling voice: Secret, secret investigator!
In the royal capital, if you want to say what Dongcheng Ling is most afraid of, it is not the immediate boss, not some powerful person, not the Marquis of Yongping, not even the emperor, but the secret investigator!
This department of the imperial court is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. If it doesn't appear, it's fine. Once it appears, someone's family will be ruined.
I don't know who is unlucky this time?
Oh, it was himself.
Dong Chengling's eyes went dark and he passed out.
Zhu Jin glanced at Dongcheng Ling who was lying on the ground, and said calmly: Wake him up before execution.
Dongcheng Yamen, Hou Yamen.
Dong Chengwei hid in the latrine, forcibly endured the stench here, and did not go out until he estimated that it was almost time, and when he really couldn't bear the stink here, he rushed out of the latrine, stood in the yard, and took a deep breath in the fresh air.
The next moment, his breathing stopped.
Because he saw dozens of figures standing in the yard besides him.
The rows of people wearing armor and holding weapons are undoubtedly the forbidden soldiers, but why are there forbidden soldiers in the yamen?
And those people who were dressed in black and covered their faces with black veils were no strangers to Lieutenant Dongcheng. They were members of the secret investigation department, and the secret investigation department that made the officials and dignitaries of the royal capital fearful also came...
As soon as Lieutenant Dongcheng appeared, dozens of sharp eyes all shot at him.
The next moment, Dong Chengwei's knees softened, he knelt down on the ground, raised his hands high, and said in a trembling voice: Don't catch me, I'm a good person, I'm a good person...
It seems that it is also night now, I have saved manuscripts, so what am I afraid of.
