Chapter 759 Reversal

What role does Xuan Qingwei belong to in the Jingjiu Dynasty's organization? Belonging to the emperor's personal soldiers.

So what is the crime of intentionally murdering Xuan Qingwei? tantamount to treason.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the officials in the ordinary system have to back away when they see Xuan Qingwei, and kill Xuan Qingwei? As long as this kind of thing is put on the bright side, the word "death" cannot be escaped. Depending on the situation, the family may also be ransacked and exterminated.

Of course, killing Xuan Qingwei with an identity like King Jing's would definitely not implicate him, but the charge of "treasonous conspiracy" would not be reduced in the slightest because of his identity.

So from the moment King Ling knocked on the drum directly at the gate of the Ministry of Punishment, King Jing's situation began to slide into the bottomless abyss.

A dignified prince personally wrote the complaint, beat the drums in person, and personally sued another prince as a "whistleblower". This kind of thing has never happened in the history of Jingjiu Dynasty.

Ma Xuanlin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, had to put on his own robe and sit in the trial hall of the Ministry of Punishment, which had always been regarded as a front door and had no practical use.

It is very rare for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to open the main gate to promote the hall. Many elderly people in the imperial city have only seen it once or twice, and most of them have never even heard of it. So when the Ministry of Punishment's promotion sounded and the main gate opened, the streets and alleys immediately went crazy. Not only idlers came to join in the fun, but some people who already had work could not help being curious and put down their work and came to watch the novelty.

And the spies from Heishui naturally mingled with these ordinary people and got closer to watch the trial.

Ma Xuanlin was not stupid, he wanted to disperse the surrounding people, and the reason was easy to find, and he could just set a "state secret" and get away with it, and the people didn't dare to stab him. But in the end, he was stopped by the Spirit King dressed in ordinary clothes.

King Ling said: "It's just an ordinary case, and the common people can hear it, so there is no need to clear the scene."

The prince said so, so Ma Xuanlin naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, he could only knock on the gavel with a smile on his face and start the trial.

In fact, the court trial is not very unusual. The strange thing is that the Lingwang, who is the "reporting" party, has something to say and is methodical. Ma Xuanlin felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, he knew in his heart that indeed the King Ling came prepared today!

According to the way of the court trial and the rules of the Jing old law, if someone gave evidence in court, it must be verified, and the defendant must be pursued in court. If the defendant is unable to appear in court, he must also go to sea to arrest the document and bring him back for questioning. These are all based on empirically valid and real foundations.

Ma Xuanlin didn't dare to hesitate, because King Ling was already urging him with his eyes, and he, as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, would not dare to openly violate the laws and regulations in front of the evidence, not to mention that there are so many people watching. Will go, if he still wants fame, he can only go through the normal process first.

Here, Ma Xuanlin comforted and accompanied King Ling, while the yamen servants below went to verify the evidence submitted by King Ling, and at the same time hurriedly reported to the Zuoxiang yamen, and finally someone had to take the order from the Ministry of Punishment to King Jing's mansion to pass King Jing to the yamen.

The results of it? What is King Jing's temper? If you get bullied by someone, it's a big deal and you go back, will you come to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to play house? What kind of fart is the Ministry of Criminal Justice?

It seems rude and arrogant, but in fact it is King Jing's best way to deal with it now. At least being "rude" is better than being "dumb" in a confrontation, right? What's more, when something happened suddenly, King Jing had to figure it out, but he didn't dare to fight with King Ling as hastily as before.

The person from Ma Xuanlin's side who verified the evidence came back and said it was correct. But King Jing couldn't pass it on. So he told King Ling that he would send King Jing to the court hearing as soon as possible under the condition of respecting the law, and asked King Ling to go back first, and he would notify King Ling as soon as the case was tried again.

Yang Shu took a deep look at Ma Xuanlin, and before turning around to leave, he deliberately warned loudly: "Nowadays, in the midst of the national war, there are bad bugs lurking in the royal family who wantonly kill the officials of the court and the central government. I am afraid that the signboard of the Ministry of Punishment is ashamed of the laws of the country and the civil servants!"

When the word "rebellion" was said, the voice was loud, and the people watching outside the door did not know who led them to applaud and applaud, and some even shouted the slogan "The Spirit King is mighty". It can be foreseen that after this incident, King Ling may leave a very good impression on the hearts of the people in the streets and alleys of the imperial city.

No fear of power, uphold justice. Who doesn't like such a person? Moreover, this is the first time that common people have seen a prince upholding the majesty of justice up close.

The most important thing is that Yang Shu's unique nobility with a bit of ruffian temperament is the only one among all the royal families. In the eyes of the upper class, Yang Shu's temperament is "depreciation", but among ordinary people It seems that they are "friendly", and many people around them have this kind of ruffian.

Coming out of the Ministry of Punishment, Yang Shu didn't really believe Ma Xuanlin's words and went back to wait for the news obediently. Instead, he changed his way and went to Fenghong Villa. But what he was looking for was not Jin Jianwei, but the Royal Ancestral Hall!

The Ministry of Punishment represents the law of the country, and it stands to reason that it is the toughest. But the people in the Ministry of Punishment couldn't be hardened, they were typically prepared and muddled and didn't want to be stained with right and wrong, and their attention was nothing more than the word "drag". In the final analysis, most of the senior officials of the civil service group are not optimistic about him, Yang Shu.

But in this world, besides national law, there is also family law. Ordinary common people have ancestral halls, and there are family laws in the ancestral halls. In many cases, family laws are even stricter and crueler than national laws. After all, the royal family is also a surname, and there are also family laws in the family ancestral hall. But King Ling wants the national law and the family law to come together, but he wants to see if the people in the ancestral hall want to get along with each other.

However, it went smoothly here as well. I met several elders in the elders of the ancestral hall. At the same time, the elders of the ancestral hall also accepted the note from King Ling.

Ordinarily, perhaps the ancestral hall will refer the ball to the Ministry of Punishment. It can involve Xuan Qingwei, and Xuan Qingwei is the emperor's personal soldier and is not governed by the law. If you want to be more serious, even saying "Xuan Qingwei is the royal family's personal soldier" can barely be said. Therefore, the ancestral hall is going to go through the internal audit process of the ancestral hall under the repeated request of King Ling.

Unlike before, Ling Wang bowed and left with a smile. He understood that the ancestral hall would not and could not force King Jing to come directly. And this matter must be seen and decided by the emperor.

In terms of the law, King Jing may try his best to let the forces under his command help to clean up or divert attention. But what about the ancestral hall? King Jing didn't dare to reach out to interfere even if he lent a hundred guts to him.
