Chapter 48 Why didn't he plead guilty!

Are you wronged?

Yang Tong looked at the man under his feet with a grievance and finally sneered.

"You are wronged? In other words, my minister of Rites is lying. The servant who once built a dragon boat for the Great Sui Dynasty and lost his father, doesn't understand the 'fire politics' at all, right?"

Ran Hongzhang could not speak anymore. Making dragon boats is a royal event. Every participant must log in to build a book. As long as he dares to hang out more, the emperor can take out the identity certificate of this child with a command. How could the servant who is a minister of the Ministry of Rites and himself lie without any grudges?

"Your Majesty, I am saying..." Ran Hongzhang's head was running at high speed, and finally pointed at Old Man Liang: "I am saying that the testimony of this troublemaker confuses the public and affects my judgment."

How could the current emperor come to Jingzhao Mansion?

Is this going to eliminate dissidents after defeating Zheng Gong’s Mansion? Are you planning to use your own sword?

Why did the emperor even bully himself as a small official? I didn’t say I was loyal to the Zheng Gong Mansion. Didn’t I just buy an official?

People who have not worked hard for life will always feel that the most unlucky person in the world is themselves, as if all the unfavorable factors are for targeting themselves. They are more aggrieved than anyone else, and they can always act like they have nowhere to tell.

Yang Tong was upset when he saw all this, and this was called incompetence.

"Okay!"

"You are a decent parent official in Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, who looks like crying for your parents. Do you think it's not embarrassing enough?"

Yang Tong pulled his feet back and raised his head and said, "Gao Shilian, Minister of Rites."

Gao Shilian immediately bowed and replied, "I am here."

When he turned his head, he saw the people kneeling at the government office, the eyes of Old Man Liang who longed for someone to make decisions, and the hope that Liang Dacheng's eyes were becoming increasingly complex.

"Since you are so interested in this case, then start from now on, and you will try this case and give me an acceptable result."

Gao Shilian took a deep breath. For him, the day finally came: "My minister, receive the order!"

No yamen runner dared to move around anymore, and Qi Fei of the sect office no longer hid his identity. He beat the crowd one by one and walked out to stop the people. The first thing Gao Shilian did when he walked into the lobby was to move Ran Hongzhang's chair down and put it behind Yang Tong, and said, "Your Majesty, please." Then, he turned around and stood under the plaque of the 'Miracle' hanging high' and began to investigate the case.

In the current case, Old Man Liang must have been wronged, that is, yesterday's fire was released by Dali Temple. Today, in the hall, Ran Hongzhang and the officials with the surname Guan were protecting each other, which led to such a situation...

"Come here!"

Gao Shilian shouted in the hall: "Guan Haiming, the palm of Dali Temple, was suspected of setting fire, and went to get people with shackles and locks!"

How could there be no yamen runners dare not to listen? Even Master Yin Ran of Jingzhao kneeled in the hall today. If they didn’t obey the order, would they just push them out and cut them all?

"yes!"

"promise!"

The yamen runners were pulling their necks to answer, fearing that Gao Shilian would not be able to hear the answer, so he carried the shackles and the shackles and the sound of the shackles went out.

"No."

At this moment, Luo Shixin came back, and he walked past the crowd. All the people who were standing in front of him avoided him. Luo Shixin led a man in official clothes into the hall. The man knelt down in front of Yang Tong, shouting: "See Your Majesty." He stood up and bowed to Pei Renji and bowed: "I have met the father-in-law." Then he looked at the man standing under the plaque 'Hanging high in the mirror' and bowed: "What is this sir?"

Pei Renji replied: "Guan Zhanggu, a fire broke out in Luoyang last night. Old Man Liang reported to the official that it was related to you. His Majesty left the palace to relax and found this case novel, so he ordered people to come and face the case three times."

Yang Tong nodded without saying anything. He couldn't answer correctly if he was like Guan Haiming.

Guan Haiming had also eaten and met him, and was not afraid in front of Yang Tong. He responded in a regular manner: "Since Your Majesty has the order and the father-in-law has his destiny, the subordinates dare not refuse to obey."

"Guan Haiming, do you know where this is?"

Gao Shilian didn't have time to let him continue talking, so he opened his mouth and asked.

Guan Haiming was also not vague: "Jingzhao Prefecture Office."

"Okay, since you know, you must answer truthfully."

Guan Haiming, who was seven feet tall but had some demeanor, waved his sleeves and put his hands behind his back and said, "I will say anything." He said this. Anyway, as long as you don't hold his hand, does this arson mean that you can convict me if you can?

But Guan Haiming never thought how difficult this Gao Shilian in front of him was!

"Guan Zhanggu, how much is your annual salary?"

For a moment, Guan Haiming was stunned.

Isn't it a trial of arson case?

I didn’t say that I was investigating corruption, what was the annual salary?

Pei Renji was laughing. The world of these old foxes was completely different from Guan Haiming's perception. There were storms behind each layer of bunker. If you were not careful, you might be swallowed by the whirlpool. He had never seen this before. He had never even seen the Dali Temple Minister.

"Three hundred...three hundred and sixty chunks."

“Where is your home, how much is your assets.”

Gao Shilian doesn’t have to think about it. Since you, Guan Haiming, can’t be a corrupt official. Any corrupt official will be easy to deal with.

"What does this have to do with arson?"

When Lao Liang heard this, he immediately interrupted, "Master Qingtian, his name is Guan Haiming, and he is known as Guan Ban Street. All the shops on the street where the fire were belonged to him except my house. It is the income from his use of various means to force others away or cheat others to be imprisoned over the years!"

"The unruly people are talking nonsense!"

Guan Haiming immediately shouted as if someone had seen his hidden tail: "In front of His Majesty and the father-in-law, you dare to slander me!"

Yang Tong sat on the chair and kicked Ran Hongzhang in front of him: "What the old man said is true?"

How could Ran Hongzhang dare to lie? He immediately said: "Fidelity."

In a word, no one is talking in the whole house. At this moment, it is like a group of adults who have seen through the lies of children listening to the nonsense of children. You can't leave anything except embarrassment.

Gao Shilian asked again: "Guan Haiming, can you convince me if you say you are corrupt at this time?"

Guan Haiming pressed his head low, shook his head without saying a word.

Gao Shilian asked again: "Guan Haiming, you have half a street, why do you still have to fight for this shop and set fire to the inn's friend Xiao Anzi to be buried in the fire? If you give this shop like this, aren't you afraid of evil ghosts coming to the middle of the night?"

He had nothing to resist. In Gao Shilian's opinion, at most he would be dying and not opening his mouth, but what's the matter?

"Do you think it's okay if you don't say it?"

Gao Shilian walked down step by step, stood in front of Guan Haiming and said, "I will disperse the news of your confession and punishment. You guess, can the people who went to the old man Liang's house to set fire at the fire? From this moment on, I will catch anyone who is carrying a bag and want to escape from the city. I will catch anyone who comes to the hall and get a stick first. I will see how many loyal slaves in the Guan family can endure the flesh and blood pain!"

Guan Haiming knew that he could not go back. As long as the official hat was removed and the shackles were put on, none of the materials under his hands could stand. Instead of letting them say it, it would be better to say it himself.

"I didn't kill anyone."

Gao Shilian asked without hearing it clearly: "What did you say?"

Guan Haiming was also a bachelor, and he gave the answer: "I admit that he was corrupt and abused, I admit that he was arson and took the shop, and burned people to death, I don't admit that he didn't!"

Gao Shilian raised his head and looked at Yang Tong. The two charges of corruption and arson and taking the shop were enough to behead their heads. In addition, burning people to death would not cause any disaster. Why didn't he plead guilty?

The Sui Rule took out the punishment of harming the body, but never deleted the serious crime of rebelling and implicating the nine clans. This is what Gao Shilian was puzzled.

"It seems that if you don't move the Great Exercise, you don't want to admit it... Just hold the sticks on your left and right!"

When he heard that he would suffer from flesh and blood if he said it or not, Guan Haiming was anxious and immediately said, "Since ancient times, the punishment has not been done to the doctor, why should you torture me!"

Then can he be too Gao Shilian?

"If the punishment is not higher than the doctor, the statutes of five punishments and three thousand are not set for the crime. Therefore, the doctor must use virtue. If the punishment is against him, it is a wise man who is not a virtuous man." He had been in the Ministry of Rites. Can he not know this? In ancient times, in order to express respect for the nobles, the crimes committed were not in Xia, and 2,500 in Zhou, and the wise man did not break the law. It is not said that he would not punish him. If he is guilty, he would need eight discussions to discuss the severity of his crime. Even the death penalty was persuaded to hang himself, and he would have his ministers' reputation.

The problem is...

"Guan Haiming, are you a doctor?"

"Since Zhou, the emperor was the king of the world, the princes were the king of the country, and the doctor was the king of the family. What the doctor said was respect for the monarch. Which class do you think?"

The official and the king of the family talk about fiefdoms. Only with fiefs can you be considered a lord. Otherwise, you can only be a scholar, a citizen, and a subject. This respect is really useless.

Guan Haiming was stunned. He didn't know who Gao Shilian was in front of him, and he didn't know that as long as Gao Shilian thought, he could talk to him in a different way even if he had a conversation for three days and three nights. For a moment, he was left with only pulling his neck and shouting wildly: "Even if he was torture, don't think I admit that I had never committed a crime. I don't accept it, Your Majesty! I don't accept it!!"
