Chapter 302 Public Trial 2
Chapter 302 Public Trial (2)
When the pilgrim helped him up in person, Jin Xincheng still refused to get up.
From the perspective of others, this clearly means that the Holy Emperor is not taken seriously.
Emperor Xuan's face didn't look very good, but he didn't have an attack on the spot.
"Master Jin, the Holy One has said that he will give an explanation. It's getting late and you have been kneeling for so long. Let's get up and go in first to talk."
Master Feng spoke again, if the head of the Jin family cannot afford to kneel down again, then he has made up his mind to go against the royal family. Is the Jin family really ready?
"Your Majesty, the common people are not making trouble unreasonably. The common people are ordinary people and they dare not disrespect the Holy One no matter how brave they are. The common people are kneeling here today to seek justice for their deceased relatives. The common people ask the Holy One to give a public trial to the case of the Jade Concubine!"
"Please ask the Holy One to bring the case of Concubine Jade to trial!"
Jin Xincheng bent down to the ground, followed by Jin Zhen and others. The surroundings were quiet, so their voices were particularly clear.
public trial?!
Since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, there have been only a handful of public trials. If the Holy Emperor nods, tonight will be really lively.
Mei Shijiu silently watched the scene in front of him. It was exactly as he thought, a public trial!
That's why she took her time and didn't worry about the different people's plans before, because it was useless. She would use her own way to seek justice for her mother.
Thinking, he glanced at the crowd. It was almost time for her to show up. She would always come to see the show she had carefully prepared.
After searching, no one was found, but Mei Shijiu knew that she would definitely come back.
Upon hearing the public trial, there was a sudden commotion.
"Master Jin, think twice!"
The old master hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him, appearing a little excited. The old master Mei was also a little unable to calm down. As soon as the corner of his mouth moved, Mei Shijiu secretly stopped him.
This matter is her plan and also the Holy One's.
Feng Ziheng clenched his fists in his sleeves, his heart in his throat.
Before he and his mother and concubine could arrange the public trial, the head of the Jin family suddenly arrived, breaking all plans.
"Master Jin, a public trial is not for a daughter-in-law. My father has ordered the Queen Mother to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter of the Jade Concubine. I believe there will be a result soon. The dowry matter has also been handed over to the Third Division. Master Jin, please wait for a few days!"
The prince stepped forward to persuade him patiently, as if he were sharing the saint's worries.
Other officials were also uneasy.
Public trial is a way of hearing major cases. Public trial requires imperial pen and Zhu's approval. Once the public trial is confirmed, the trial will start immediately. The three divisions will preside over the trial, the three public officials, civil and military officials, and the Supreme Court will hear the trial until the end of the case.
In other words, if the Holy One nods, the case of Concubine Yu will be tried in front of the criminal department tonight, in front of the people and the ministers.
In the case of Concubine Jade, if you think about it, you will know who might be involved. If it were a public trial, it might be like shaking the earth for the court.
"Please, Your Majesty, bring the case of Concubine Jade to trial!"
Jin Xincheng still said the same thing. As soon as he opened his mouth, the people kneeling with him agreed at the same time.
Seeing Jin Xincheng's attitude, everyone looked at Emperor Xuan.
This Jin Xincheng is determined, so it depends on the attitude of the Holy One. The Holy One will probably not agree. This is not a trivial matter, it is related to the royal family's face!
If this is done, something big will happen.
There was silence, everyone was waiting for Emperor Xuan's answer. Emperor Xuan looked at the Jin family, then at the civil and military officials and the people watching, and finally looked up at the plaque at the entrance of the criminal department.
Everyone couldn't help but secretly swallow their saliva.
"There were too many people here, and they finally squeezed in."
Dong Li was sweating as he squeezed into the crowd. After speaking, he quickly looked at Chu Xue and said, "Girl Xue, are you okay?"
Tao'er and Pearl kept protecting Chuxue, but Chuxue was fine. They were both sweating from exhaustion.
"Daddy Li, I'm fine. It seems I came at the right time."
Chuxue looked at the criminal department and whispered.
"It seems that the Holy One has arrived, but the Jin Family Master is still kneeling. He must have been kneeling for a long time. Why is he so quiet?"
Dong Li followed Chu Xue's gaze and saw that the unusually quiet atmosphere made him lower his voice.
Chuxue's eyes fell on Emperor Xuan, with a somewhat deep expression on her face, "Because everyone is waiting for the Holy Emperor's decision."
"What decision?" Dongli asked curiously.
"public trial!"
After Chuxue finished speaking, Dongli's eyes widened a bit. Public trial? The Jin family asked for a public trial? This is a big deal.
No, it should be said that she wants a public trial!
"It's not a trivial matter at this time, I'm afraid you won't agree, right?" Dong Li felt that if Emperor Xuan agreed to this, the Yuan Dynasty Hall would be in chaos.
"He will agree." Chuxue replied very firmly. She was not sure before, but now looking at Emperor Xuan, she knew it.
From the beginning, it was the layout of the Holy Lord in front of him, and the matter of the old lady of the Jin family gave him an opportunity to finally take action.
It's just that the Jin family asked for a public trial, which was beyond his expectation. She bet that he would agree. It seemed that the bet was right, which further demonstrated his determination.
Dongli stared at Chuxue blankly, Emperor Xuan spoke up just at this moment.
"Since the head of the Jin family insists on this, let's have a public trial!"
As soon as Emperor Xuan opened his mouth, the scene immediately exploded.
Master Feng shouted on the spot: "Your Majesty!" He looked heartbroken and distraught.
The prince, King Su and King Yue knelt down at the same time, "Father, please think again!"
Emperor Xuan closed his eyes and clasped his hands behind his back and sighed: "I owe this to Concubine Jade. I have made up my mind, and the trial will begin!"
Li Xinyuan and others' hearts were trembling. This was the first public trial in this dynasty, and they were all at a loss.
"The Holy One has ordered that the case of Concubine Jade is now being tried in public. Please invite the three divisions to start the trial, and hundreds of civil and military officials will accompany the Holy One to hear the trial!"
After a period of silence, the holy order was sung, and a temporary interrogation platform was set up at the entrance of the criminal department.
The people were moved upon hearing the news, and the crowds kept surging towards the Ministry of Justice. They could watch the public trial openly and openly. Who could sleep in such a big bustle?
The streets on both sides of the Criminal Department were hung with lanterns, and they were brightly lit for a while.
At the entrance of the criminal department, the three presiding officers of the Third Division are sitting in the middle. Emperor Xuan's dragon seat is slightly to the right, followed by Mr. Mei and Mr. Feng. On the left, headed by the prince, several princes sit in sequence, and hundreds of civil and military officials
The two sides were separated, with Jin Xincheng and others kneeling in the center.
"Chang Shou, please go out and ask Aunt Chang and the others to prepare hot water, ginger soup, and medicine for activating blood circulation and removing blood clots! We have some at home, so let them prepare them."
I have been kneeling here for an hour. Chuxue knows what it feels like!
"Yes, there are many people here, miss be careful."
"Well, go ahead!"
Chuxue looked at the people kneeling at the entrance of the criminal department and asked Liang'an and Zhenzhu softly, "Are you ready?"
"Ready!" The two of them nodded at the same time, filled with sadness and anger.
Over the years, they have kept their promise to their master, waiting for an almost impossible possibility, just for this day.
They need the truth! The master needs justice.
"Just be ready..."
Chuxue said quietly, "Today's public trial must have a result!"
As soon as the alarm sounded, the public trial began, and the three presiding judges started the trial. However, in this case, they didn’t even know who was going to be tried, and they didn’t know who to ask! Because the case happened more than ten years ago, and almost everyone involved in the case
died!
After the three chief judges finished filming Gavel, they didn't know how to continue. They were sweating like rain and sitting on pins and needles.
The ministers all cast sympathetic glances. No one had a clue as to how this would be tried!
After the awkward silence, Li Xinyuan said bravely: "The head of the Jin family, the Jin family, is here to complain about injustice. Is there any evidence to prove that Concubine Yu was wronged?"
The ministers looked at each other and asked this question...
If there is evidence, why wait for him to ask? But it seems that there is no excuse!
Chapter completed!
