Chapter 1159

The imperial court's action was faster and bigger than they thought. Man Bao thought it would take two or three days for someone to ask them questions. As a result, they ate early food on the 19th day. Not long after, the Chamberlain of the Ministry of punishment personally brought them out to the hall.

He saw Xiang Mingxue wrapped up except his head. After a moment of silence, he waved and asked someone to lift a bed board to carry Xiang's brother out.

Bai Shan and man Bao, who are looking at the book, look at it silently.

Seeing that they didn't move, the Minister of punishment couldn't help but say, "you two won't have to be carried, will you?"

They put down their books and went out.

The lobby of the Ministry of punishment next to the prison was cleaned up. At this time, Ji Xiang, Wei Zhi and old Tang were sitting on it.

Ji Xiang is in charge of the affairs of Shangshu province. Now there is no written order in the court, so Wei Zhi is in charge. The eldest servant of menxia province has long been ill and prayed at home, so Tang Hui is in charge now.

The king of Yizhou kept private soldiers for a long time, so three people were the first to judge. Of course, whether there was the selfishness of the emperor or not is unknown.

In addition to them, the seal of the Ministry of punishment and Liu Hui of the Ministry of household are here.

The reason why the two of them will be arranged separately is that they will be summoned a lot in this case.

When he arrived at the lobby, Bai Shan bowed his hands. Man Bao only bowed his hands and didn't kneel down. Not to mention the two people who were carried out, they couldn't get up.

Wei Zhi had no problem with old Tang. Ji Xiang had a headache as long as he thought of his little grandson who rolled and swept the floor in his study last night, so he didn't embarrass them.

Although he is sitting in the middle, but

He looked left and right at the two men, drew corners of his mouth and said, "if you have any questions, please ask them."

Wei Zhi and old Tang quickly and humbly, "please first, sir."

"Please, I'll just listen." Looking at who didn't know, after the incident, one was left alone by the emperor late at night, and the other was summoned every other hour. He was not stupid. He thought with his toes and knew that the emperor preferred them to investigate the case.

Wei Zhi and old Tang are silent. How can they speak?

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

But what matters is that Ji Xiang and others don't know, and they can represent all officials. Old Tang turned his eyes and fell on Feng Shangshu. He said directly: "it's natural that the Minister of justice of the Ministry of justice is the best at trying cases. Let's ask Feng Shangshu. We'll consider making up for it at that time."

Everyone was cold and hummed: as if you had never been the Minister of punishment?

However, for this old Tang, who is obviously younger than himself and is a former officer, Feng Shangshu didn't dare to say it. He glanced at his current officer, Mr. Ji Xiang.

Seeing him nodding slightly, he stood up and bowed to the three adults. Then he glanced at Xiang Chao and Xiang Ming, who were lying on the board. With a wave of his hand, he decided not to ask them first.

So the servants moved the two boards to the side and exposed Bai Shan and man Bao to the front and middle of the crowd.

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

Bai Shan had finished reading Da Jin's law book and recited a lot. He knew it was a tool for inquiry, so he said it in detail.

The letter asked, "since you are from Longzhou, how did you fill in mianzhou?"

Bai Shan bowed his hand and said, "when the student was five years old, my grandmother took my mother and I to my cousin in mianzhou, so I went to school in mianzhou, and then went to Yizhou to take an examination of the government school, so my student status has always been in mianzhou."

"When did you learn that the king of Yizhou killed his father and enemy for you?"

After pausing, Bai Shan looked up and saw that old Tang hung his eyes and said, "I didn't know until this year."

Feng Shang's eyebrows jumped, "I don't know until this year?"

Bai Shan answered "yes."

"How do you know?"

"My grandmother told me."

"How did your grandmother know..."

Bai Shan picked out county magistrate Tang and county magistrate Yang. He only mentioned his grandmother and told Feng Shangshu that his grandmother had always been suspicious and told him about his father's encounter with Zhou Yin when he fled to Luojiang county.

As a result, Feng Shangshu had to call old lady Liu for questioning.

While waiting, he drank a cup of tea and asked "man," you also asked your name and registered residence.

Man Bao told the truth.

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

Man Bao pointed to Bai Shan and said, "grandma Liu told me. I didn't know my parents were not my biological parents before. Grandma Liu said that my parents told me."

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

Feng Shangshu asked the two men lying on the board.

There are still many personal and material evidences that have not been presented in the Bai family. Although man Bao has handed in a wave of evidence, old man Liu still has many in his hand, such as the letter Bai Qi sent to his family, the confession of Erji, the confession of three assassins who went to Qili village as a fake official, and even people. Old lady Liu can hand it over.

Those people are now in Wei Zhi's hands, but they must be handed over and cross the Ming Road.

But in contrast, Xiang Jia can give very little evidence. Most of them are his own conjectures, because he doesn't even have any evidence that he is the real owner of Dongxi villa.

All the land deeds and house deeds were destroyed by flood or man-made. Even the files of the county government and the government government were lost. Except for the genealogy written by Xiang Mingxue himself later, he didn't even have personal testimony.

So if what he said is true or false, we have to send someone to Suizhou.

He looked down at Xiang Mingxue, who was wrapped into big zongzi. Although Feng Shangshu trusted him, the criminal case was about evidence.

However, they can be sure that the evidence Bai Shan handed in the hall the day before yesterday is not false, so they can leave.

So Feng Shangshu mentioned that Bai Shan and Zhou man can be released.

Ji Xiang was about to promise, but old Tang suddenly said, "but don't you still have a witness in Mr. Liu's hand? Why don't we wait until the case is proved. "

Wei Zhi also nodded, "let's take them into prison for the time being, and wait until they get to the case."

Bai Shan and man Bao open their mouths.

Back in jail.

Liu Laofu, who came to testify, was not very anxious. He nodded slightly to the two children and turned and left the lobby of the Ministry of punishment.

When the four people were escorted back by the officers, they happened to meet Zhou Lijun at the door. She was waiting for them outside the door. She flattered the officers with a smile, and then handed them a big basket and said, "aunt, this is your food today and tomorrow morning. Do you have anything you don't want to eat? I'll ask my sixth uncle to make it for you."
