Chapter 1001 Interrogation 1(1/2)
Although the evidence that Qi Tianci's crime has been collected, Jiang Lang did not rush to ask for the Three Divisions to conduct a trial, but continued to collect the completed evidence. Now Jiang Lang has made up his mind that Qi Tianci must go to the ghost this time!
As before, the routine morning court every day, when the adults finished speaking, Jiang Lang stood up and said, "I have something to do!"
"Accepted!"
Jingtaidi said loudly!
Jiang Lang then said: "I heard from the emperor that Qi Tianci's case has been delayed for too long. I affirm that the emperor allows me to start the formal trial of this case!"
The ministers present all turned their heads and looked at Jiang Lang. Unexpectedly, he suddenly said that he would re-examine the case!
Emperor Jingtai was also a little surprised. He told him a few days ago, but he didn't expect that he would actually start to try the case. He pondered for a moment before saying, "Wang Aiqing, have you investigated this case clearly?"
Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the case has been basically investigated and various evidence has been collected!"
"good!:"
Emperor Jingtai nodded and said, "Okay, I will agree. I don't know when the trial will start?"
"Please set the time. At the same time, in order to ensure the fairness of this trial, I would like to invite the adults from the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and the Censorate to participate in the trial of this case!"
Jiang Lang said loudly that the three officials' trial was a suggestion from Emperor Jingtai. At that time, Jiang Lang knew that the adults in the court should not know his plan to conduct the three officials' trial, so this was also a boost to his momentum!
"You plan to conduct a review of the three departments?"
Jingtaidi showed a very appropriate expression of confusion on his face. Of course, he was very clear about this matter!
"yes!"
Jiang Lang answered very affirmatively, saying: "Because before, some adults asked me to investigate Qi Tianci because of public affairs. After all, the deceased was the husband of my sister Murong Yan. Now the case has been investigated clearly. Whether Qi Tianci is a real murderer can naturally come to the first trial. Is it clear whether I was a murderer? I was naturally very clear when I was taking it for public affairs. However, I still have to worry. Therefore, I will go to the three departments to try it, and to a large extent I hope that someone can testify. At the same time, on the same day, I also planned to openly hear it in the yamen. As long as the people are willing, anyone can come to listen to it to show justice!"
Jiang Lang's words immediately moved everyone present. He didn't expect that he was so sure!
"Sir Yu, what do you mean?"
Emperor Jingtai did not agree immediately. Naturally, the performance was to behave like the real one. This is the first time I heard it, so naturally I should be as good as I heard it for the first time. Of course, I have to ask Yu Qian for his opinion.
Yu Qian now also realized that Jiang Lang was determined to let everyone present see this time. He was not trying to abuse his power, but fairness and justice, and that was to block the ministers’ mouths!
Of course, Yu Qian had strong support for this kind of thing, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is OK. After all, Lord Wang is Murong Yan's big brother, so he should take risks!"
Emperor Jingtai nodded after hearing this and said, "I think this matter is urgent. I also think it is OK to do this. If this is the case, I will be sure to go through it. Let Wang Aiqing join the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and the Censorate to try it. This time will be tomorrow!"
"My minister, follow the order!"
Jiang Lang hurriedly thanked!
After resigning from the court, Yu Qian leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Are you really sure about this case?"
Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Of course, why, Lord Yu, do you think I will fight a war that I am not sure about?"
Yu Qianze shook his head quickly and said, "I'm not saying you will fight a war that you are unsure of. However, more than a year has passed after this case, and I am still a little worried, but I feel relieved when I see that you are so confident!"
Jiang Lang laughed and said, "Sir Yu, you can rest assured, of course I am already sure!"
After saying goodbye, Jiang Lang thought about it and walked towards Murong Private School. After all, this matter has a lot to do with Murong Yan, so he should also tell her!
However, Murong Yan was not here today, which surprised Jiang Lang a little, so he came to Murong Mansion again. The news he received was that she was still not here, but the servant said that Murong Yan had gone out with some sacrifices!
"Sacrifice?"
Jiang Lang felt a little surprised. Today should not be a day, so she took the sacrifice there?
But in a blink of an eye, she thought that the only person she could go to worship in the entire capital was her husband, so she immediately dared to go there!
When he was about to reach the cemetery, Jiang Lang got off the carriage and asked the carriage to wait here. Of course, the same carriage that caught his eye was also a carriage. It seemed that Murong Yan was really here!
Jianglang, who has been here in this cemetery, can naturally be found. Stepping on the snow that has not yet melted, Jianglang walked towards the cemetery. Soon, Murong Yan, dressed in white, appeared in her field of vision. She was indeed there. Paper money was burning in front of the tomb, and green smoke was emitting!
Jiang Lang walked over and saw some sacrifices and some fragrant wax items on the ground!
Murong Yan heard the sound and turned around. There was a trace of indelible sadness in her pretty eyes, then she barely showed a smile and whispered: "Brother, why are you here?"
Jiang Lang smiled slightly, then bent down and picked up the incense contained in the local basket. After lit it, he bowed respectfully to the tomb three times before he gently inserted it in front of the tomb!
"Do you hate your elder brother?"
After letting go, Jiang Lang asked in a low voice!
"Why did the adults say that?"
Murong Yan smiled reluctantly, but she still felt a little confused!
"In order to investigate this case, you... I personally sent someone to dig up your husband's grave!"
Jiang Lang said again, you should know that destroying other people’s graves is a very taboo thing!
Murong Yan was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't hate my elder brother, because I know that my elder brother did this to make it peaceful in the nine springs. And if he knew about it, he would never blame his elder brother! Because everything he did is not wrong!"
"But sometimes I wonder if this is wrong!"
Jiang Lang said this, paused, and then said: "I thought I was not wrong before, but sometimes I thought I might be really wrong. Qi Tianci committed a crime and killed others by chance. If I intervened, I could also take his life, which was equivalent to making a clear head for your husband. But I chose another path. I could say with righteousness that I was for the court and for your husband to be injustice, but I spread salt on your wounds! Maybe you have forgotten a lot of sadness in more than a year, but I did not hesitate to bring out this sadness to you again!"
"Brother, stop talking!"
Murong Yan said with a hint of pleading, and reached out to wipe his eyes and whispered: "Four years ago today, I married him. He was brought to the capital by my elder brother. You must know that my father originally disagreed. It was my elder brother who convinced my father. I am grateful to you. Indeed, I am talking about my husband's death again. I feel like a knife cut in my heart, but I also understand the difficulties of my elder brother. This husband's case has been more than a year, so it is difficult to find evidence. On the other hand, the adults in the court also have a lot of criticism about my elder brother. Many people think that you are pretending to be public for personal gain. In fact, I know that my elder brother is not. You just want to give my husband a fair fight. In terms of pressure, no one has greater pressure than you. So I understand, and I also believe that you will not let my husband die in vain!"
"Of course I won't let him die in vain!"
Jiang Lang nodded fiercely and then said, "Tomorrow, I will formally interrogate this case!"
"tomorrow?"
Murong Yan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise!
"Yes, tomorrow, we will work with the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and the Censorate, and the three departments will go to trial!"
Jiang Lang said calmly, "So although I don't want to, I hope you will come to the hall tomorrow!"
In fact, this is another challenge for Murong Yan!
Murong Yan did not agree, but did not refuse immediately, and Jiang Lang did not ask. You must know that tomorrow's confrontation with Qi Tianci was nothing more than arousing his sadness!
Time suddenly passed quickly, and the next day, the interrogation of Qi Tianci officially began!
This incident had already caused a sensation in the entire capital, so the next day, the originally large yamen suddenly seemed crowded. Many people felt that this place was here, and they all wanted to witness it with their own eyes!
On the other hand, the soldiers of the East Factory also surrounded the place at this time, and looked like a war was overturned. They did not stop the onlookers, but the one who rode the horse the most was to at least obey the necessary order. Of course, many of the people who were watching the fun became honest when they saw this murderous soldiers. After all, today the trial was a case more than a year ago!
Qi Tianci and Qi Dazhi were already escorted from the East Factory at this time, and were also escorted by a large number of guards. For Qi Dazhi and his son, An Cheng's confession made them a little discouraged, because An Cheng knew everything and knew a lot!
There were many people watching along the way. This case had long been spread throughout the capital. The Qi family father and son, who were originally somewhat unknown, suddenly became Ming people at this time. Many people along the way naturally had to see it!
As for the other witnesses such as the doctors, Xiaohong, An Cheng who were inspected, they were secretly taken to the yamen and then strictly protected by soldiers from the East Factory. To a large extent, this was also to imitate some of the changes along the way!
In the yamen, the upper part is the position of the presiding officer, and there are three positions next to it, one is the position of the Minister of Justice, one is the Minister of the Dali Temple, and the other is the Supervisor. These are the highest officials in various departments, and they also show their importance to this case!
There are several tables behind them, and all four treasures of the study are complete. These will be seated by the clerks, who will discipline the entire trial process of the case.
Below, there were two neat rows of yamen runners standing, each with solemn expressions. They also knew that the case today was not simple!
"when……!"
Suddenly, a crisp gong sounded throughout the yamen. Then, Qian Zhengbang, who temporarily acted as an etiquette official, shouted loudly: "Shichendao!"
"mighty……!"
Two rows of yamen runners shouted in unison!
The clerks took the lead in entering the venue one after another, sat in their seats, and spread out the paper in front of them.
"The Chief of the Dongchang Factory, Lord Wang, Minister of Justice Xue, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Zhang, Chief of the Inspectorate, Lord Lu, Minister of the Dali Temple!"
Qian Zhengbang continued to shout!
Then, Jiang Lang and others appeared one after another, and then gathered together and sat in their own position. Today is Jiang Lang's chief trial. Although the name is Sansihui, the other adults are largely a matter of supervising whether there are any mistakes in the trial process of this case, or Jiang Lang's favoritism and abuse of power. As for this case, they did not participate in the investigation!
After the few people sat down, Jiang Lang whispered: "Several adults, can you start?"
"Can!"
Several people nodded and said!
Jiang Lang nodded slightly, sniffed a row of gavels and shouted: "Take people to offend Qi Tianci!"
Although Qi Dazhi and Qi Tianci were both involved in this case, in order to prevent the two from colluding in the hall, the interrogation was separated, and the interrogation was naturally divided into primary and secondary.
The first interrogation by Jiang Lang was Qi Tianci, because a lot of the evidence was directly related to Qi Tianci!
"Take prisoners Qi Tianci!"
Qian Zhengbang shouted loudly!
"Take prisoners Qi Tianci!"
...
The voice was passed down again and again. Soon, Qi Tianci, who had been temporarily imprisoned in the cell in Deidala, was brought up. Now he no longer had the kind of high spirits he had at the time, but instead seemed very depressed. However, at this time, it was impossible not to be depressed!
Qi Tianci, who was brought up, was shackled with both hands and feet at this time, and then knelt on the ground!
"Bang..."
Jiang Lang slapped the agglomeration again and said loudly: "Is the person under the hall Qi Tianci?"
To be continued...
