Chapter 1159

The action of the imperial court was faster and bigger than they thought. Man Bao and the others thought it would take two or three days before someone could ask them questions. As a result, they ate breakfast on the 19th day and not long after they had breakfast, the minister of punishment came in person. Take them out to court.

When he saw Xiang Mingxue's appearance except his head, he was silent for a while, then waved his hand, and asked someone to carry a bed board to carry his brother out.

Bai Shan and Man Bao, who were reading the book, watched silently.

Seeing that they didn't move, the Minister of Punishment couldn't help but said, "Wouldn't the two of you have to be carried?"

The two then put down the book and went out.

The hall of the Ministry of Punishment next to the Heavenly Prison was cleaned up, and at this time, Ji Xiang, Wei Zhi and Lord Tang were sitting on it.

Ji Xiang is in charge of the affairs of Shangshu Province, and now there is a lack of official documents in the middle and middle of the dynasty, so Wei Zhi is in charge.

It was not a small matter for the King of Yizhou to raise private soldiers, so the trio headed the trial.

In addition to them, Feng Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and Liu Hui of the Ministry of Housing are all here.

The reason why the two of them will be arranged separately is because in this case, they will be called a lot.

When they got to the lobby, Bai Shan bowed his hands in salute, and when Man Bao saw it, he just bowed his hands and didn't kneel down. As for the two people who were carried out, they couldn't even get up.

Wei Zhi and Mr. Tang had no problem. Ji Xiang had a headache just thinking about his little grandson who was sweeping the floor in his study last night, so he didn't embarrass them.

Although he was sitting in the middle, but...

He looked at the two of them from side to side, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "If you have any questions about Lord Wei and Lord Tang, just ask them."

Wei Zhi and Lord Tang quickly gave in, "Your Excellency, please."

"It's better for you to invite me, I'll just listen." I looked at who didn't know. After the incident, one was left alone by the emperor until late at night, and the other was summoned an hour later. He was not stupid. Toe also knows that the emperor prefers them to investigate this case.

Wei Zhi and Lord Tang fell silent. How could they speak?

What they should know, what they shouldn't know, they all know it?

But the important thing is that Ji and others don't know, and they can represent the hundred officials, Old Master Tang turned his eyes and landed on Feng Shangshu, and said directly: "For things like trial, it is naturally the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment who is best at it, or Feng Shangshu. Shang Shu opened his mouth and asked, and then we will consider and supplement."

Everyone snorted coldly in their hearts: It seems that you have never been the minister of punishment?

However, Feng Shangshu didn't dare to say anything about this old man Tang, who was obviously younger than himself, but was a former officer. He glanced at his current officer, Lord Ji Xiang.

Seeing that he nodded slightly, he stood up and gave the three adults a nod, then glanced at Xiang Chao and Xiang Mingxue who were lying on the wooden board, waved his hand, and decided not to ask them.

So the officers moved the two wooden boards to the side, exposing Bai Shan and Man Bao to the front and the middle of the crowd.

Feng Shangshu's eyes fell on Bai Shan, and he asked, "Please report your name and ancestral home."

Bai Shan has almost finished reading Da Jin's law book, and has memorized a lot. Knowing that this is a tool for inquiries, he said it one by one.

Feng Shangshu asked, "Since you are from Longzhou, why did you fill in Mianzhou for your school record?"

Bai Shan then cupped his hands and said: "When the student was five years old, his grandmother took his mother and I to join my cousin in Mianzhou, so I went to school in Mianzhou, and then went to Yizhou Kaofu School, so my student status has always been in Mianzhou."

"When did you learn that the King of Yizhou killed your father's enemy for you?"

Bai Shan paused for a while, then raised his head and looked upwards. Seeing Lord Tang lowered his eyes, he said, "We will only know this year."

Feng Shangshu frowned, "I only know this year?"

Bai Shan replied, "Yes."

"How do you know?"

"My grandmother told me."

"How did your grandmother know..."

Bai Shan took out the magistrate of Tang and magistrate Yang, only mentioned his grandmother, and told Feng Shangshu that in fact, his grandmother had always been suspicious, and also said that his father ran into Zhou Yin outside Luojiang County.

As a result, Feng Shangshu had to call Mrs. Liu to question him.

While waiting, Feng Shangshu took a sip of tea and asked Man Bao, "What about you, report your name and household registration as well."

Man Bao truthfully reported.

Feng Shangshu also asked a series of questions, many of which were repeated with Bai Shan. He asked, "How did you know about your parents?"

Man Bao pointed at Bai Shan and said, "Grandma Liu told me. I didn't know that my parents were not my biological parents. It was Grandma Liu who told me that my parents told me."

Yes, so I still have to wait for Mrs. Liu to come.

Feng Shangshu went to ask the two people lying on the wooden board.

There are still many human and physical evidences here that have not been presented to the Bai family. Although Man Bao has already handed in a wave of evidence, Mrs. Liu still has a lot. Confessions, the three assassins who were sent to Qili Village by fake officials back then, even if they were asked by Feng Shangshu, Mrs. Liu could also hand them over.

Those people are now in Wei Zhi's hands, but they have to be handed over to clear the way.

But in contrast, the evidence that Xiang Jia can provide is pitiful, and most of it is his own speculation, because he doesn't even have any evidence that he is the real owner of Dongxi Village.

The land and house deeds were all damaged by floods or man-made, and even the archives of the county and government offices were lost. Except for the genealogy that Xiang Mingxue wrote down by himself later, he did not even have personal testimony.

Therefore, if what he said was true or false, he had to send someone to Suizhou.

Looking down at Xiang Mingxue, who was wrapped into a big zongzi, although Feng Shangshu trusted in his heart, the criminal case was about evidence.

However, they can be sure that the evidence that Bai Shan and the others handed in in the hall the day before yesterday showed no false signs, so they can leave.

So Feng Shangshu mentioned that Bai Shan and Zhou Man could be released.

Ji Xiang was about to agree, but Mr. Tang suddenly said, "It's just that Mrs. Liu still has a witness? Why don't you wait until the witness arrives."

Wei Zhi also nodded, "Let's put the two of them in jail for now, and we'll talk about it when the witnesses come to the case."

Bai Shan and Man Bao opened their mouths wide.

Back in jail again.

Mrs. Liu, who came to testify, was not too anxious. She nodded slightly to the two children and turned and left the hall of the Ministry of Justice.

When the four were escorted back by the officers, they happened to meet Zhou Lijun at the gate. She was waiting for them outside the gate. She pleased the officers with a smile, then handed them a big basket and said, "Sister-in-law, this is what you guys are talking to today. For breakfast tomorrow morning, do you have anything in particular that you want to eat, I will ask Uncle Six to make it for you."

See you tomorrow
