Chapter 97 Interrogation by the Metropolitan Procuratorate
"Sister Qian, will he be in trouble?"
Xiang Ning was very worried that Long Chen would be killed by Jing Tianlie.
Zhang Qian sneered: "I'm not afraid. Our adults are more treacherous than anyone else, so it's not certain who dies."
When Long Chen heard the movement, he slowly opened his sleepy eyes. Xuan Yi's hand tightly hugged Long Chen's arm, which was quite normal.
Qingyue's hand was not honest and reached inside.
Long Chen smiled in his heart: There is nothing in that place, what's fun?
"Two little girls, get up."
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue Youyou woke up, responded, and then leaned on Long Chen's chest.
Long Chen's chest muscles are very strong, and they feel very comfortable lying on each side.
Fearing that he was delaying the main business, Zhang Qian came over and lifted the quilt and said, "I got up, the official of the Censorate came over to deliver the message."
The quilt was lifted up, and Bai Ruyu's body snuggled up against Long Chen, and the spring scenery was extremely beautiful.
Xiang stared inside, even she was envious.
Xuan Yi and Qingyue then got up and put on their clothes and asked, "Is the people from the Censorate coming? Are you going to start the trial of Shui Han's case?"
Both of them knew the inside story, and they were not worried about the case itself. Even if the matter was exposed in the end, Jing Heng was unlucky.
However, how to use this case to suppress Jing Tianlie to the greatest extent depends on the means.
Moreover, Jing Tianlie will not surrender, he will resist fiercely, and even be anxious to jump over the wall.
Zhang Qian did not answer the two of them, but said to Long Chen: "Sir, should you let the princess go with you?"
Long Chen smiled and said, "No, I will go by myself, the prince will avoid suspicion in this matter."
"Of course, the Censorate will definitely ask the princess too."
As the most critical party, Di Luoxi must be among the questions.
The most important thing is that Jing Tianlie felt that the empress was targeting him and was planning to eradicate the power of the Jing family. Emperor Luoxi was instructed by the empress in doing things.
Therefore, Di Luoxi would definitely be called over and questioned.
"Let's go with the adults."
Xuan Yi and Qingyue were dressed, Zhang Qian put on Long Chen, Xiang Ning brought water to wash, after breakfast, when she arrived at the outer yard, she met the official staff of the Censorate, who was a middle-aged woman with many wrinkles on her face.
"I have met Lord Shangshu and three generals."
The officials salute respectfully.
"Take a sergeant to lead the way."
Long Chen is kind and happy, this steward knows etiquette.
"Please follow the official."
The officer led the way in front, and Long Chen and the other two walked towards the Censorate.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty used the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice as the trial institutions, and the Ministry of Justice was responsible for arresting and sentenced people, and the Censorate was responsible for supervising and reviewing.
This time, the Censorate was the leader, and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War tried together because the person involved was special.
The Censorate is located just south of the palace, where the Six Ministry and other capital yamen are located.
After leaving the palace, I went to the Censorate.
The yamen runners at the door were wearing black clothes and holding water and fire sticks. When they saw Long Chen coming, they bent down to salute.
Long Chen entered the Censorate and walked into the main hall. He saw Bai Anning, the Censor of the Censorate, sitting in the middle, next to him was the Minister of Justice Hu Chengfu and the Minister of War Bai Qiulian.
Below are several yamen runners from the Censorate standing solemnly with knives.
Zhang Qian and the other two were waiting at the door. Long Chen walked to the main hall and looked around. There was not even a chair. Is this meant that he was standing and asking questions?
"Who is in the hall?"
Bai Qiulian scolded him.
The censor Bai Anning was surprised. This was the Censorate, and he was the chief judge, so he should ask questions.
Moreover, Long Chen has a special identity, just a question, and he is not a criminal.
Long Chen knew that Bai Qiulian was acting like a mighty man, and sneered in his heart and asked, "Who are you?"
Bai Qiulian wanted to give him a warning, but he didn't expect Long Chen to give him face.
"Long Cheng'en, today our three ministries are ordered to interrogate, you dare not cooperate!"
Long Chen laughed and said, "Interrogation? What is my crime?"
Bai Qiulian sneered: "You killed Linjiang City general Shui Han."
Long Chen pointed to the chief clerk who was sitting next to him recording the interrogation process and said coldly: "Remember, Bai Qiulian, the Minister of War, slandered the Minister of Works, the Minister of Revenue, and the eunuch, Long Chengen, the general manager of the eunuch, killed General Shuihan."
The chief clerk was stunned, and he looked up at Bai Anning.
Bai Anning quickly put out the fire and said, "Shangshu Long is so serious, he is just asking as usual."
Long Chen did not give face and sneered: "As usual, inquire? What did Bai Qiulian say just now? Can't you hear it? The Lord asked you to be the judge, so you should record it truthfully. What she said and what you recorded!"
"Bai Qiulian, you slander the ministers of the current dynasty and kill people. I will report this to the emperor and investigate it thoroughly!"
Long Chen ignored Bai Anning at all and grabbed Bai Qiuxuan's words.
You must not be polite to deal with such an old bitch. If you give in a little, she will gain a better position.
Bai Qiulian was so angry that Long Chen said that he didn't dare to say anything else.
"Shangshu Long, we just asked you to come and ask today. No one said you killed General Shui Han."
Hu Chengfu, the Minister of Justice, also came out to help put out the fire.
Long Chen sneered: "She isn't a human?"
Bai Qiulian was angry: "Die eunuch, who is not a human being?"
Long Chen was also angry: "Tell me, you old bitch!"
Bai Qiulian stood up by slamming the table, Long Chen just sneered, and ignored her at all.
Bai Qiuxuan is the peak cultivation level of the king, but it may not be possible for anyone to die if they fight.
Bai Anning, the censor of the Censorate, comforted both sides: "Shangshu Bai, this is the Censorate, ask questions as soon as you ask."
"Shangshu Long, we need to investigate the case. Please come and ask, there is no need to do so."
Bai Qiu practiced his power and sat down again angrily.
Long Chen said coldly: "Chief Bai, since it is the case as usual, I am not a criminal. You sit and I stand?"
Bai Qiulian deliberately removed the seats for Long Chen.
"Come on, arrange seats for Secretary Long."
Bai Anning immediately arranged for the two yamen runners to bring a chair over and ask Long Chen to sit down.
Sitting on the chair, Long Chen leaned back slightly and looked at the three ministers coldly.
In terms of the status of the court, Long Chen was the chief minister of the two ministers and eunuchs, and had a higher status than theirs.
This time, the Censorate was the chief trialer, so Bai Anning said: "Shangshu Long, we have thoroughly investigated the death of General Shuihan. We also investigated some a few days ago. Now we need to ask, after all, Shangshu Long was in Linjiang City at that time."
Long Chen nodded and said, "This matter was decided by the emperor in the court, I will cooperate."
Bai Anning breathed a sigh of relief.
If Long Chen does not cooperate, Bai Anning will have no choice. Bai Qiulian looks aggressive, but in fact, the three of them are on the same level as Long Chen, and they have no right to force them.
What's more, everyone knows the relationship between Long Chen and Emperor Luo Xi, and the empress also favors Long Chen.
"Okay, I'll start asking."
Bai Anning glanced at the chief clerk and signaled him to start recording.
"General Shui Han's death was severely injured by Shangguan Wei. Is that true?"
Long Chen said: "Yes, the day after the battle in Linjiang City, I returned to the city. The fourth princess just appointed Shui Han as the lord general of Linjiang City, and her injury broke out and she died."
Bai Anning asked again: "How was General Shui Han injured? Where was the injury?"
Long Chen said: "Then I don't know that when the princess and Shangguan Wei fought that day, I led my troops to attack Caishi City and was not present."
"Only when General Shui Han's injury broke out, I saw it here. She was injured in her heart."
Bai Anning asked again: "That means that General Shui Han was not present when he fought with Shangguan Wei."
Long Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the four princesses, General Li Xiannan, Xuan Yi and Qingyue, and later the Secretariat Yingfeng also joined."
