Chapter 279 Confession
Xiao Junping raised the corners of his mouth slightly, very satisfied with Li Zengkui's tactfulness. He slapped the agglomeration and asked Song Ke, "What happened? Isn't it true?"
"Wei-Wu-" The two squads of yamen runners were much more intimidated, and it was obvious that the yamen runners were also very interested in this issue.
Song Ke hurriedly said, "Two sirs, I am wronged! I respect Lord Jiang very much and will never do anything that is unfair to the common people."
Xiao Junping turned his head to look at Li Zengkui. Look, you group of generals screamed all day long, but in fact they were cowards who dared not be!
Li Zengkui cursed Xiao Junping and Song Ke in his heart, and asked with a thick old face, "The people of Xicheng said that you would lick people in the street. If Lord Jiang hadn't been hiding quickly, his face would have been licked by you!"
"I haven't come to the real trick yet!" Xiao Junping continued to ask.
Song Ke had already thought of a way to deal with it. "Myong met Lord Jiang on the street. Mr. Jiang asked if the food in the Memorial Court was suitable for his appetite. Mr. Jiang said that the food in the Memorial Court was so spicy that he ate it. He ate it so much that his tongue was so angry that he stuck out his tongue to show it to Lord Jiang. Mr. Jiang and I were both men, but I didn't expect this to be misunderstood!"
Xiao Junping was directly accused of Mr. Jiang Er, "Does Lord Jiang think Song Ke's behavior at that time offended you?"
Mr. Jiang stood up, "Return to the Lord, General Song suddenly approached Xiaguan, and was only about a tiny away from Xiaguan. If he showed his tongue, would he be so close? When Xiaguan avoided it, he still smiled frivolously. There were many pedestrians on the street at the time of the incident, and Xiaguan could find shops, vendors and passing people to testify."
Thinking of such a scene, Xiao Junping was also uncomfortable and said, "Accurate!"
Song Ke still looked wronged and wronged, and he was not panicked at all. Because he was just behaved intimately, he didn't treat Jiang Feng any more. Even if the Emperor came, he wouldn't recognize him.
The commissioner from Dali Temple went to Song Ke, the shop in Xicheng City to tease Jiang Erye, and rang the gong and announced, and went to Dali Temple to testify. With Jiang Erye's popularity in Xicheng City, the people who came to testify almost burst into the main hall of Dali Temple. But as Song Ke expected, these people could only prove that Song Ke was intimate, but Song Ke did not touch Jiang Feng, so it was difficult to convict him.
Song Ke was proud, Xiao Junping looked ugly, and Master Jiang looked at the angry people outside the hall, guessing which one was the key witness found by Uncle Qiu.
A young man with a pretty face came into the hall and knelt down to salute, "Caomin He Cheng lives in Hejia Village outside Xicheng, and makes a living by hunting and chopping wood. Five days ago, Caomin went to the Seminary Court to send wood..."
Hearing this, Song Ke suddenly turned his head and looked at the man next to him, and his face changed. Mr. Jiang saw it and snorted coldly in his heart.
He Cheng continued, "...General Song asked Caomin to send some firewood to his courtyard. After Caomin sent it, General Song gave Caomin ten taels of silver and asked Caomin to serve him. Caomin was unwilling, so he used the strong one and bit the Caomin's shoulder. If someone hadn't come to ask General Song to go out to discuss matters, Caomin would have died in the court.
"Just just now, Caomin went to the restaurant in Xishi to deliver firewood. When he heard that Master Guan invited someone to correct General Song, Caomin followed him and asked the adults to make decisions for Caomin!" After He Cheng said that, he pulled open his collar and revealed three obvious tooth marks and bruises on his shoulders.
The people inside and outside the hall were in an uproar and knelt down and asked Xiao Junping to make decisions for the people.
Xiao Junping seemed to have taken a calm pill, and even his breathing was calm. He slapped the gavel, "Song Ke, do you admit your guilt?"
Song Ke regretted that he had not killed the boy at that time. Now he was indisputable and could only admit his guilt. There was a behavior of forcing a man to do a miserable thing. Song Ke said that he deliberately approached Mr. Jiang in Xishi, which was not teasing, so he couldn't get involved. The people outside the hall wanted to rush in and beat Song Ke to death.
After taking Song Ke down, Mr. Jiang Er was discussed by Song Chunping and Xiao Junping and Li Zengkui, wrote down a detailed document of Chen, and went to the palace to face his life. Emperor Jing He saw the trial and asked with a gloomy face, "Whether your family, according to the law of our dynasty, how should Song Ke be convicted?"
Xiao Junping returned, "Long live back, Song Ke entered Liujiazhuang for no reason at night and beaten forty times; Song Ke was an official to oppress the people, and the culprit would be punished according to the severity of the crimes, and the severity of the crimes would be punished by silver, and the severity would be dismissed and beheaded. I believe that if I punished multiple crimes together, Song Ke should be killed."
Li Zengkui bowed, "I agree."
Song Ke is worthy of death, but Emperor Jing He feels that his guilt is definitely not just that. "Song Ke dares to be so arrogant in the capital, and he will definitely become more severe when he is in Suzhou. The two families of the Qing family will continue to investigate, and it will not be too late to be executed after the interrogation is clear."
This is what Xiao Junping and Li Zengkui are afraid of. Killing Song Ke is a trivial matter. If his crime is thoroughly investigated, it will definitely be very involved. Whoever wades and dies in the muddy waters of the Suzhou officialdom and the Zuo Wuwei will not have the courage to die, even as the head of the Sixth Ministry and the Dali Temple.
Xiao Junping replied, "Long live the saints. However, according to the laws and regulations of our dynasty, if you want to convict, you must obtain evidence and evidence. What Song Ke did in Suzhou, I may find it difficult to find out in the capital. I request Long live to take Song Ke back to Suzhou, and the prefect of Suzhou Fu Kaiwen and the commander-in-chief of the Zuowu Guard Jiang Jinzong."
Li Zengkui said again, "I will discuss it."
This ability to push 265 is really great. Yang Feng looked at the two kneeling on the ground and slowly lowered his head.
Emperor Jing He frowned and waved his sleeves and said, "Premises Song Ke to the Dali Temple Prison for the time being."
"I obey the order—"
After leaving Xuande Hall, Xiao Junping and Li Zengkui looked at each other tacitly and returned to the yamen.
Emperor Jing He read Chen's document again, and thought about how arrogant the rebellious son would be in Suzhou. He was furious and clapped the table, "Xuan Zuo."
Before Yin Qian arrived, the right prime minister Qin Tianye arrived first and asked for a visit outside the palace gate.
Jing Hedi frowned and said reluctantly, "Xuan."
Before Qin Tianye entered the hall, Emperor Jinghe asked him to waive the gift and stood up to speak. Qin Tianye bowed, "I heard that Wansui was furious because of the disaster in the three prefectures of Xiping, and went to the palace to apologize. After receiving the complaint from Xiping in June, the old minister immediately sent Feng Lizhen, the Ministry of Revenue, to Zhongxing to check the disaster. Feng Lizhen came back and reported that the water level in the main river of Xiping was reduced by half, but the green seedlings in the fields still exist. As long as local officials were properly dispatched and the river water was diverted to irrigate the fertile fields, they would be able to last until the autumn harvest. The old minister believed it and asked Xiping officials to provide disaster relief. At the end of August, the Xiping report was sent again. Only then did I know that the disaster was intensified and the court needed to allocate silver and grain to provide disaster relief, so I reported to Wansui."
"The old minister is incompetent, please live the punishment."
After saying that, Qin Tianye knelt down and leaned over, touching the ground with his head.
Emperor Jing He stood up to help him and comforted him, "Since the Ministry of Revenue officials failed to investigate, they would be dealt with according to the law. I know that the Duke of the State is working hard for state affairs, so how can he be thorough in everything? The starvation in Xiping is everywhere, and it is urgent to delay. Can Duke of the State have good plans?"
Qin Tianye stood up and said, "I would like to ask long live to open warehouses for disaster relief in the three prefectures of Xiping. The Ministry of Revenue allocated 500,000 taels of disaster relief silver to purchase herbs and clothes for disaster relief, and immediately transported it to the three prefectures of Xiping. If it is too late, countless people in the three prefectures will die if they are cold."
"allow."
