Chapter 279: plead guilty

   Chapter 279 Confession

   Xiao Junping raised the corner of his mouth slightly, very satisfied with Li Zengkui's sense of interest. He slapped the gavel and asked Song Ke, "Is there any such thing?

   "Mighty-Wu-" The threats from the two classes of yamen became much louder. Obviously, the yamen were also very interested in this issue.

  Song Ke hurriedly said, "You two adults, you will be wronged at the end! You will have great respect for Lord Jiang, and will never do those unethical things."

   Xiao Junping turned to look at Li Zengkui. Look, you generals are screaming all day long, but you are actually a group of cowards who dare to act!

  Li Zengkui scolded Xiao Junping and Song Ke in his heart, and asked with a cheeky face, "The people of Xicheng said that you stick out your tongue and lick people in the street. If Mr. Jiang hadn't hid quickly, his face would have been licked by you!"

   "Not from the truth!" Xiao Junping continued to ask.

Song Ke had already figured out how to deal with it, "The last general and Mr. Jiang met on the street, and Mr. Jiang asked whether the food in the memorial court was not to your taste. The general said that the food in the court was spicy and delicious The tongue coating was on fire, so I stuck it out to Lord Jiang to see. I and Lord Jiang are both men, I didn't expect this to be misleading!"

  Xiao Junping went straight to Erye Jiang, "Does Mr. Jiang think that Song Ke's actions at the time offended you?"

Jiang Erye got up and said, "Go back to your lord, General Song suddenly approached Xiaguan, only an inch away from Xiaguan, he stuck out his tongue. If he showed Xiaguan's tongue, would he be so close? When Xiaguan avoided him, he laughed extremely It was frivolous. There were many people on the street at the time of the incident, and the lower officials could find shops, vendors and passers-by to testify.”

  Thinking of such a scene, Xiao Junping also felt uncomfortable and said, "Exactly!"

  Song Ke still had a wronged look on his face, and he didn't panic at all. Because he just behaved intimately, he didn't do anything to Jiang Feng, even if the emperor came, he didn't recognize it.

  The police officer of Dali Temple went to the shop where Song Ke molested Jiang Erye in Xishi City, and beat the gong to announce, looking for witnesses to go to Dali Temple to testify. With the popularity of Jiang Erye in the West City, the people who came to testify almost crowded the main hall of Dali Temple. But as Song Ke had expected, these people could only prove Song Ke's intimacy, but Song Ke did not touch Jiang Feng, so it was difficult to convict him.

  Song Ke was proud, Xiao Junping's face was ugly, Jiang Erye looked at the angry people outside the hall, guessing who was the key witness that Uncle Qiu had found.

   A young man with a handsome face entered the hall and knelt down and saluted, "He Cheng, a grassman, lives in Hejia Village outside Xicheng. He makes a living by hunting and chopping firewood. When the grassman went to the Memorial Hall to deliver firewood five days ago..."

   Hearing this, Song Ke suddenly turned to look at the man beside him, and his face changed. Jiang Erye looked in his eyes and snorted coldly in his heart.

He Cheng continued, "...General Song asked Caomin to bring some firewood to his courtyard. After Caomin sent it over, General Song gave Caomin 10 taels of silver and asked Caomin... to serve him. Caomin didn't want to, so he used force and even bit him. Caomin's shoulder was injured. If someone hadn't come to invite General Song out to discuss matters, Caomin would have died in the memorial court.

"Just now Caomin went to the Xishi restaurant to deliver firewood, and when I heard that the official was recruiting people to correct General Song, Caomin came along and asked the adults to make the decision for Caomin!" Tooth marks and bruises.

  The people inside and outside the hall were in an uproar, kneeling and asking Xiao Junping to be the master of the people.

  Xiao Junping seemed to have taken a reassurance pill, and even his breathing became steady. He slapped the gavel, "Song Ke, can you plead guilty?"

  Song Ke regretted that he didn't kill the kid at that time, and now there is no excuse, and he can only confess his guilt. There was an act of forcing men to behave in the first place, and Song Ke said that he deliberately got close to Jiang Er Ye in the West City was not a provocation, so he couldn't stand it, and the people outside the hall could not wait to rush in and kill Song Ke.

   After escorting Song Ke down, Jiang Erye and Song Chunping retire first, Xiao Junping and Li Zengkui discussed the case, wrote a detailed case document, and entered the palace to face the saint. After watching the court trial, Emperor Jing He asked with a gloomy face, "The two Qing families, according to my court law, how can Song Kedang be convicted?"

Xiao Junping replied, "Long live back, Song Ke entered Liujiazhuang for no reason at night, and was forty; Song Ke was an official who oppressed the people and was punished according to the severity of the crime. , Song Kedang beheaded."

  Li Zengkui handed over, "This minister seconded the proposal."

Song Ke was guilty of death, but Emperor Jing He felt that his guilt must be more than that. "Song Ke dared to be so arrogant in the capital, and it will definitely be even worse when he is in Suzhou. The two Qing families continue to interrogate, 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 involve a lot. Suzhou officialdom and Zuo Wuwei's muddy water, whoever goes to die, even if they are the heads of Liubu and Dali Temple, they don't have the courage.

Xiao Junping replied, "Long live Shengming. But according to the laws of our dynasty, if you want to be convicted, you must obtain evidence and evidence. What Song Ke did in Suzhou may be difficult to find out in the capital, such as Wei Chen. Long live Song Ke back to Suzhou for trial by Fu Kaiwen, the prefect of Suzhou, and Jiang Jinzong, the commander-in-chief of Zuo Wuwei."

   Li Zengkui said again, "This minister seconded the proposal."

   This ability to push two, six and five is really remarkable. Yang Feng looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and slowly lowered his head.

  Jing Hedi frowned, waved his sleeves and said, "Temporarily imprison Song Ke into the Dali Temple prison."

   "The minister follows the order—"

   After exiting Xuande Hall, Xiao Junping and Li Zengkui glanced at each other tacitly and went back to the yamen.

   Emperor Jinghe read the case document again, thinking of how arrogant this traitor would be in Suzhou, his anger was high, he slapped the case and said, "Xuan Zuo Xiang."

   Before Yin Qian arrived, Qin Tianye, the right minister, arrived first and asked to see him outside the palace gate.

  Jing Hedi frowned and said reluctantly, "Xuan."

   Before Qin Tianye entered the hall and saluted, Emperor Jing He asked him to waive the salute and stand to speak. Qin Tianye bowed and said, "The old minister heard that Long Live was furious because of the disaster in the three states of Xiping, and he went to the palace to plead guilty. After receiving the report of the disaster in Xiping in June, the old minister immediately sent Feng Lizhen, a member of the household department, to ZTE to check the disaster situation. Feng Lizhen came back to report Xiping. Although the water level in the main river has dropped by half, there are still young crops in the fields. As long as the local officials make proper arrangements and divert the river water to irrigate the fertile fields, they will 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, Xiping reported disasters and sent them again. When I came up, the minister knew that the intensification of the disaster would require the court to allocate money and food for disaster relief, and only then did I report to Long Live."

   "The old minister is incompetent, please long live the punishment."

   After saying that, Qin Tianye knelt down and leaned over, touching his head to the ground.

Emperor Jinghe stood up to help each other and comforted him, "Since the officials of the household department have failed to investigate, we should deal with them according to the law. I know that the Duke is working hard for the country, so how can I do everything? Xiping is starving and dying, and it is urgent. ?"

Qin Tianye got up and said, "My minister asks Long Live to open warehouses in the three states of Xiping for disaster relief, and allocate 500,000 taels of disaster relief silver to the Ministry of Household to purchase herbal medicines and clothing for disaster relief, which will be immediately shipped to the three states of Xiping. If it is too late, the three states will Countless people will die from starvation."

"allow."

   "Long live for the common people, my ministers are on behalf of the people of the three states, thank you, Long live." Qin Tianye bowed and saluted, and asked about Song Ke, "What do you plan to do with Song Ke?"
