Chapter 43 Court Trial

"Hey, I was here just now! Where did you go in a blink of an eye?" Bao Qing was a little worried. It would be bad if he met the assassin's remnants. So he pointed to the yamen runners and the constables and said, "Hurry up, you can dump the yamen in the yamen, search me carefully in every place to see if there are any assassin's remnants! Let's go in, Lord Fan, let's talk about it!"

Everyone came to the yamen, and Bao Qing asked the imperial envoy Fan to come up and sit down.

"Bao Qing, are you talking about what you are talking about attacking the yamen?" Fan Zhongyan asked.

"Sir, do you still remember the Plum Blossom Gang? Today, the group is attacking the yamen and intending to rob the prison. I regret not being the first, and I should have heard what the adults said long ago." Bao Qing said very sincerely.

"Oh? It's this Plum Blossom Gang again? The plum blossoms are fragrant and bloody, and they bloom and turn the world! OK! Bao Qing, are you willing to take on the job of eliminating the Plum Blossom Gang? I want to see how many plum blossoms are there, and how to turn the world!" Fan Zhongyan asked excitedly.

"The official must do his best to do his job! He must eradicate the plum blossoms!" Bao Qing saw that he had achieved one goal and quickly answered.

"Bao Qing, the harm of the Plum Blossom Gang is not a scabies, but a harm to the country. I hope you are very cautious and cautious. If I return to the court, I will report to the official family and grant you the decree to investigate and handle this matter completely. By the way, what I am anxious about now is not the Plum Blossom Gang! Can you find that millions of dollars of silver?" Fan Zhongyan seemed a little anxious.

"Cough!" Ouyang Xiu saw that Bao Qing was a little confused, and immediately coughed awkwardly. Thinking that Lord Fan seemed to be too anxious, why did he ask about money in a blunt way, he interrupted: "My sir, Brother Bao, how much has you found about the case of the robbery of the official silver? How is it going?"

"Yes, yes! That's what I mean!" Fan Zhongyan was a little embarrassed. He didn't care about anything he came here this time, just asked Bao Qing for money.

When the officials in this industry asked the main point, everyone listened with their ears. The officials issued two imperial edicts in a row, and the two imperial edicts were completely opposite, which attracted speculation from the court and the public. Until now, Fan Zhongyan's secret edict is no longer a secret.

"There is only one suspect in this case, and there are no other clues!" Bao Qing said.

Fan Zhongyan was immediately depressed when he heard this. In order to protect Bao Qing and the others and the disaster relief money that saved his life, he could guarantee his chest in the memorial to the official family, and he highly praised Bao Qing's ability to judge cases. Now, half of the time has passed, and half a month has left. How can he solve the case in time and get the millions of coins of silver back?

The lowly officials all started to talk, some were gloating, some shook their heads helplessly. Ouyang Xiu couldn't bear it anymore, so he hurriedly pulled Bao Qing and asked, "Did you tease us on purpose? More than ten days have passed, but there is no progress? Isn't this taking my life and Lord Fan? In order to protect you, Lord Fan has made his life career come to his life. Also, isn't there a suspect? Then why not ask for trial? Can't you pry his mouth open?"

"Ah! I really didn't lie to you! Why don't you interrogate me together tomorrow?" Bao Qing asked.

"Okay, I'll be interrogated tomorrow!" Ouyang Xiu replied.

That night, Fan Zhongyan even refused Bao Qing's banquet. In his words, how could he have appetite at this stall?

The next day, Bao Qing opened a trial of the case. Bao Qing had Zhan Fang served to wear his official uniform and walked to the lobby of the yamen. Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu were with Bao Qing, and a group of important officials were listening.

Bao Qing sat upright in the lobby, and Fan Zhongyan signaled to Bao Qing that he could start. Bao Qing was stunned for a while, and kept wondering, "I have never been promoted to this hall? Are there any etiquette and procedures?"

"Mr. Bao, let's start!" Ouyang Xiu urged.

Bao Qing had no choice but to recall the situation when he was interrogated by Bao Hong, so he patted the gavel and thought about saying something. But when he saw everyone looking at him with some confusion, he realized that he might have taken the wrong photo. There were no suspects below. Who did he scare the gavel and scare him?

Bao Qing cheered up and shouted loudly: "Take a prisoner!"

After hearing this, everyone despised him, thinking that Bao Qing would not even be promoted to a church, and he was afraid that there was no real material. What's strange is how could he be so respected by Lord Fan and Master Lu.

Seeing that Bao Qing didn't even say anything about going to the hall, Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu frowned. The following yamen runners had to save the procedures and directly lifted Li Jiujin up.

Everyone looked at him and saw that Li Jiujin was wearing a white prison uniform, but he looked good in spirit and had no injuries at all. He obviously did not suffer much in the cell.

"Who is in the hall? You won't kneel down to the trial!" Bao Qing smashed the awkward wood hard at the case, thinking that the wooden block should be taken wrong this time.

"Kneel? Why kneel? You Bao Qing is just a scholar, but I, Li Jiujin, are a dignified juren! You actually asked me to kneel down? Is it worthy of you?" Li Jiujin said mockingly.

"Ju Ren? Are you a Ju Ren? That, the headmaster of Qian, is he a Ju Ren?" Bao Qing asked. Bao Qing thought that if Li Jiujin was really a Ju Ren, he really didn't have to kneel down.

"Sir, I am a constable! You have to ask the master about this matter! Or you have to ask the chief Qin!"

"But I don't have a master! Then go and invite the chief Qin clerk!" Bao Qing said. He was really not used to the main auditor.

The officials who were listening to the side started to discuss in a low voice. Did the presiding judge not investigate and interrogate the suspect in advance? More importantly, he was not used to torture, and the suspect looked very comfortable. How to interrogate him below? He didn't even understand the suspect's identity and background.

"You are the official, but you don't know anything. I, Li Jiujin, are wronged. Sir, I am wronged! All the sirs present, please tell me, Lord Li, the Minister of Works, who has the opportunity to tell me, that his clan members did not embarrass him, but someone avenged his private revenge! He was wronged by my Li family!" Li Jiujin shouted.

Ouyang Xiu was furious when he heard this and shouted, "No need to be tortured, you won't be able to take action, right! Give me a big punishment!"

Many officials who were listening below looked at each other in a low voice, some said in a low voice, how could they abuse lynching? Ouyang Xiu ignored these things. He felt that although Bao Qing could not judge because Bao Qing lacked experience. However, most of the people who Bao Qing suspected were criminals. Fan Zhongyan's face turned pale and he regretted it secretly, for fear that he would really look down on Bao Qing.

"Mr. Ouyang, it's not OK to abuse lynching! If I wanted to use it, I would have used it long ago!" Bao Qing said. This made Ouyang Xiu faint. What's this guy doing? I'm helping him!

The court hearing was in a deadlock. Li Jiujin, who was in the court, kept calling for injustice and continued to refer to the Minister of Works, Lord Li. The officials below were talking about it.

Bao Qing didn't interrupt and kept wasting her life like this. Fan Zhongyan reminded Bao Qing to leave the house several times, but Bao Qing pretended not to see it.

Suddenly Bao Qing slapped the auspicious wood and asked, "Li Jiujin, you have been talking for a long time, Lord Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, what did you say that you didn't lose his face? Are you taking this seriously?"

"Of course, everyone knows my character and what I do!"

"Then I ask you, do you know if you robbed Lord Yin Li?"

"Fuck, you are slandering me. I didn't rob the official silver. Of course Lord Li knows!" Li Jiujin cursed.

Fan Zhongyan was very awkward when he heard this. Bao Qing asked what it meant! The officials who were listening below were also puzzled. What was going on?

"According to this, if you rob the official silver, Lord Li, the Minister of Works, must know! If you did not rob the official silver, Lord Li, the Minister of Works, must know! Whether you rob the official silver or not, Lord Li, will you know? Of course, I have no evidence now that you rob the official silver." Bao Qing asked.

Li Jiujin thought for a while and nodded.

"Come on! The testimony records just now were checked and sealed by Li Jiujin!" Bao Qing said.

After reading it, Li Jiujin felt that it was right, so he drew a copy.

Bao Qing paused and said to the officials below: "Do you all understand? All Lord Li in the court knows everything Li Jiujin does!"

Some of the officials below answered impatiently: "Mr. Bao, we all understand. All Li Jiujin's affairs are related to Master Li, right? If you feel that you don't want to continue the trial, then leave. I'm a little tired."

Although Ouyang Xiu didn't understand what Bao Qing was doing, he understood one thing. Bao Qing was like walking around and around, as if he had to walk around the Ministry of Works Li Hai and Li. Although Li Jiujin's backer was Li Hai, if something really happened, Li Hai could not say that he could not know it. At most, he would be scolded by the government. But just now, such a fatal testimony. If Li Jiujin had an accident, Lord Li Hai would probably be in great trouble! Could it be that Bao Qing was pretending just now? In order to get such a confession?

Bao Qing was so happy that he finally got around the Minister of Works. This was one of Bao Qing's goals. He didn't want to kill Li Jiujin and let Li Jiujin's back-end Minister of Works cause trouble for himself. If he wanted to handle it, he would just take it all. Okay, if you handle this case, you can investigate the Meihua Gang legitimately, and drag the Minister of Works into the water. Now the rest is to rescue Bao Hong and wash Zhan Zhao and others.

Fan Zhongyan didn't think so much. Lord Fan, who was worried about the country and the people, was full of money, and life-saving money to help the victims. Bao Qing finally withdrew and then happily asked Lord Fan to get off his seat.

Fan Zhongyan's eyes were solemn, and he looked at Bao Qing with dissatisfaction, and then left with a swaying sleeve. Ouyang Xiu hurriedly followed him. Bao Qing had no choice but to go back and rest by himself.

"Sir, don't be angry. I think this show today is a play for that kid's performance!" Ouyang Xiu caught up with Fan Zhongyan and explained on behalf of Bao Qing.

"I'm still having a show. This guy can't even get promoted, and I can't even get a judge! Uncle Yong, we've misunderstood people and trusted people wrongly! Alas, the official scolded him for being a young man, and he's pitiful to those victims!"

"Didn't the official let Xia Shu pay first? The victims should be able to hold on for a while!" Ouyang Xiu said.
