Behind me is the earth

Chapter 495 493. The King Arrives

"The Ministry of Political Science and Law, Sir Xi Jian, has issued a warrant to Xicheng County Magistrate Meng Jin, who has full authority to hear Chen Xun's case, and no one else can interfere!

This is a telegram from the Ministry of Political Science and Law. It is signed by Lord Xi Jian. Lord Governor, please take a look at it. "

Qiao Minshan said and asked Duan Ruilin to take out the telegram and hand it to Yue Lang.

But what Yue Lang saw was not only the warrant from Xi Jian of the Ministry of Political Science and Law, but also the warrant from Commander-in-Chief Liu Qiang with the seal of the Ministry of National Defense. The wording was even stronger: "While Meng Jin is trying Chen Xun's case, Qiao Minshan has an overview of the overall situation. Anyone else who interferes with the trial will be named to me."

It can be seen from his words that he was very angry about the leakage of firearms.

Liu Qiang's status, qualifications, and power intimidated Yue Lang and made him dare not make mistakes.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned to look at Chen Xun: "Chen Xun, whatever Master Meng asks you, just say it. If you really commit such a serious crime, I will never show favoritism. , The people in your house should be beheaded, beheaded, and exiled..."

"Snapped!"

A scream suddenly interrupted Yue Lang's words.

This made Yue Lang turn around suddenly. There was no sunlight on his fat face, only infinite coldness, and his eyes were as sharp as if they contained sharp blades.

Meng Jin didn't squint his eyes and turned a blind eye: "Continue!"

Zhou Xun used water torture again.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Amid the coughing sound, Chen Xun even became incontinent, and a foul smell suddenly filled the lobby.

The yamen servant hurried forward to clean up the dirt, but the smell could not be dissipated for a while.

Ten minutes later, Chen Xu was already confused and confused, and most of his life was lost, but there was a tight string in his mind. Yue Lang's threat to him just now made him want to die, and he only expected to die. Die quickly!

If his cultivation had not lost strength due to Ruanjinsan, he would have shattered his heart veins with dark energy and would have died!

In his daze, he vaguely saw another figure coming to the lobby.

I could vaguely hear her voice. She was still a woman, and she sounded pretty nice.

"How could a psychic alien be involved in such a case? Who knows whether she is investigating Chen Xun or conducting mental induction?

Chen Xun has never admitted the crime you committed during this torture. Even if his innocence cannot be proven, he should continue to consolidate the evidence and investigate new evidence.

When handling a case, we should focus on evidence and seek truth from facts, rather than using psychic powers. How can we convince the public by reaching a conclusion like this? "

Yue Lang said loudly.

In the yamen, in broad daylight, many off-board moves are useless.

When he saw the mental alien coming out, Yue Lang finally became anxious.

Chen Xun is the white glove that does the dirty work for them, and is also a key link between the upper and lower levels.

In his current groggy state, when the spiritual alien was interrogating him at this time, he would not immediately pour the beans into the bamboo tube and tell them all at once!

Firearms and green fruits are both very sensitive.

Such cases do not require conclusive evidence. They only need a reason to start investigating them.

And can they really withstand inspection?

Although the organization is sophisticated, there are too many capable people in the court. Through the questions explained by Chen Xun, evidence can be found quickly, not to mention the various abilities of strangers now, which are the icing on the cake for the investigation work.

No one can guarantee that they are foolproof.

"What Governor Yue said is wrong. Since last year, the Political and Legal Affairs Department has been investigating the case and has begun to use strange people."

Qiao Minshan, who was sitting opposite him, said.

Yue Lang disagreed: "But those aliens used to investigate cases, whether they are aliens with developed senses or other aliens, play a supporting role in the case, not mental aliens." This dominant alien.

Playing a supporting role, we investigators and bystanders can have a comprehensive understanding of the case. But when an interrogation is carried out by a mental alien, how do we judge whether it is a normal interrogation or an inductive interrogation?

Moreover, there are very few spiritual aliens nowadays. If these aliens are required to interrogate a case, then they will naturally have the power of trial in their hands and interfere with the judicial power. If he has selfish motives at this time, the rest of the people will be judged. Can it be discovered?

Are we centered on the inquisitor, or are we centered on the spiritual aliens?

The law is sacred, it can determine the life and death of people, and it can control the world's wealth, how can it leave any flaws? "

There is some truth in what Yue Lang said.

Qiao Minshan couldn't find a reason to refute him for the moment, so he didn't refute this argument. He looked at the bright-eyed and white-toothed girl with a ponytail and a black horse-faced skirt standing in the lobby.

"The psychic alien is just asking for clues from Chen Xun's mouth. As for the conclusion, we will also look for evidence, speak with evidence, seek truth and be pragmatic, and seek truth from facts. This is what the king said, and we will never understand it. forget.

Miss Yuhuan, please. "

Qiao Minshan explained and said to the girl in the lobby.

"yes!"

Yuhuan clasped his fists and said.

"Wait a minute..."

Yue Lang took a step forward.

"Master Xijian ordered Master Meng to have full authority to hear the case! Master Liu Qiang ordered me to take charge of the overall situation and cooperate!

how? Lord Yue's actions require me to send a telegram to Lord Liu? "

Qiao Minshan also stood up and blocked Yue Lang's sharp attack for Meng Jin.

"continue!"

Under the protection of Qiao Minshan, Meng Jin continued to speak to Miss Yuhuan without wavering.

Zhou Xun vaguely stood in front of Yue Lang.

Yuhuan walked to Chen Xun who was locked on the bench.

At this time, Chen Xun was in a daze and no longer looked like a department official. His mouth and eyes were crooked, his mouth was drooling, and his nose was dripping into his mouth.

Although the feces and urine have been cleaned up, the stench on his body cannot be concealed.

Just when Yuhuan took up his stance and was about to cast a spell on Chen Xun, someone outside the wooden fence suddenly shouted loudly: "Wait a minute!"

"Um?"

Meng Jin, Qiao Minshan and others frowned.

Yue Lang's face was happy at first, then turned bitter.

A group of people pushed the onlookers away, and an old man in casual clothes came out.

This gentleman has a lean figure and a strong spirit. His white beard is well-groomed, giving him a sense of uprightness and peace.

Everyone has to praise him for his good looks.

"It turns out to be Mr. Chen Ming!"

Qiao Minshan stood up quickly.

Meng Jin also stood up from his position as the presiding judge again, followed Qiao Minshan, and greeted Chen Ming.

However, at this time, both of them could not help but feel their hearts pounding.

This person was the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Southern Capital in the old days. His status is second only to Chen Xiu, the Minister of Rites. Now Chen Xiu is the governor of Chujiang Province, and Chen Ming is the deputy governor of Chujiang Province. In terms of job level, they are not much worse than Xi Jian!

Now, Chen Xiu and his chief envoy Wang Zonghe went out to attract investment. Now the deputy governor Chen Ming has the highest official position and the most power in Chujiang Province.

And if he comes forward at this time, is Chen Ming also related to this case?

The two of them naturally thought about the case.

At this time, Yue Lang naturally knew that these two people had suspected him. Now that Chen Ming has stepped forward, he is happy that he has a heavyweight teammate on his side, but he is also worried that if Chen Ming is now exposed, they will no longer have anything to rely on.

With three smiles on his face, Chen Ming cupped his fists at Qiao Minshan and Yue Lang, then looked at Meng Jin with a smile: "I just watched the crowd for a while, and I saw the case clearly. Magistrate Meng is still young, I don’t know much about the trial.

It should be noted that this trial is not only about the case itself, but also about one’s behavior and worldliness. "

"Master Chen, I, Meng Jin, only know the laws of the court, the king's teachings, justice in the world, and the people of the world, but I don't know the ways of the world!"

Meng Jin cupped his hands and said firmly.

When Chen Ming heard this, his face darkened: "He talks about benevolence, justice and morality, I have seen many people like Magistrate Meng.

It's just a struggle in official circles and a struggle for power.

Nowadays, in Chujiang Province and even the entire Qi State, officials are divided into two factions, the old and the new.

Your Majesty, please take pity on me and other veterans of the former dynasty, and allow us to have the opportunity to serve the new dynasty of Qi, the people of the world, use our experience, and serve as herdsmen for the emperor.

But you and other new-style officials continue to suppress me and other old officials. I retreated again and again, but you thought I was weak and could be bullied. Now you have arrested Chen Xun and humiliated me in this court. You just want to use this case as an opportunity to suppress veterans like me! "

As soon as Chen Ming came up, he elevated the case to a confrontation between old and new officials.

At the same time, he and the veteran forces he represents, and the new officials represented by Qiao Minshan, are labeled as having a personal feud.

When you review the case, even if you find something unfavorable to me, you are still trying to persecute me!

You are messing with me out of selfish motives. If you want to investigate me, I will have reason to resist!

The people watching could not hear the bickering between the two sides, but high-ranking officials like the deputy governor also appeared here. People they had never seen in the past were all here in a tense atmosphere. It was so lively that they He showed an expression of excitement that he had earned something.

Throughout the year, I have never seen such a wonderful scene.

After I go back, I can talk about this topic over and over again for the rest of my life!

Chen Ming's arrival was somewhat beyond the expectations of Qiao Minshan and Meng Jin. Of course they understood at this time that this should be a counterattack by the organization behind the case!

What kind of worldliness?

Both Qiao Minshan and Meng Jin know this very well.

In the old days, once some cases involved certain officials, the case files would often be sealed unless someone specifically pushed for it. There are so many files on them that even if they are sealed, they usually won’t cause the slightest splash.

If in the old days, this kind of low-level circulating things did not hinder the affairs of the princes in the court, so what if many people's families were ruined? Adults can't see it, and even if they see it, they find it an eyesore.

But the new dynasty is different. The inscription "Li Yuan is first" written by the king himself is still on the stone carving in the square in front of the Qiwang Building. The huge font can be seen by everyone entering and leaving the Qiwang Building!

Therefore, they cannot be complicit, nor can they pretend not to see it.

However, Chen Ming's arrival made the atmosphere in the lobby anxious. Meng Jin and Meng Jin were also very embarrassed.

The governor was away, and Chen Ming, as the highest official in Chujiang Province, was using his power to suppress others, which made the two of them feel uncomfortable.

"Why, you still insist on having your own way?"

Seeing that the two of them were motionless, Chen Ming raised his hand and cupped it in the direction of Qidu: "It's okay if this little girl interrogates, but if I want to report to His Highness, His Highness must agree!

Otherwise, if everyone is like you, the judicial process will not be messed up?

We all think that you are so eager for quick success and unscrupulous means to defeat political opponents, and the country of Qi will not be in chaos? "

Obviously, Xijian's warrant did not make him back down.

At this time, let alone Xi Jian's warrant, even if Xi Jian himself came, Chen Ming would never let him hear the case as he wished. As long as today's trial is fooled, there will be more opportunities. Whether it is to secretly get rid of Chen Xun or destroy the evidence to clean up traces, there will be time to maneuver.

As for the suspicion of Qiao Minshan and the other two, they could not defeat him.

While he was speaking, the guards who had just helped him push away the people also walked up to the lobby and stood behind Chen Ming. They were all full of energy and were not weak.

This time, Qiao Minshan and the two were forced into a blind corner.

But the two also knew that now was not the time to give in.

Now that the two adults, Xi Jian and Liu Qiang, know about the case, they have backed down at this time. They will not think about their future in the future.

"Master Qiao, since this case involves firearms and green fruits, it is naturally not a small case. Master Qiao, don't even think about pouring this dirty water on us veterans. But this case must be solved. If Master Qiao If Magistrate He Meng can put aside his prejudices, I can help you."

Chen Ming also thought that it would be difficult to explain the situation between the two, so he changed the subject.

"Mr. Chen has already said that when a different person is investigating a case, it is just to present clues. The final conclusion must be supported by evidence. If Mr. Chen is interested, how about joining us to sit in on the case?"

Qiao Minshan didn't seem to hear what Chen Ming said, but instead invited him with a smile.

"Does Master Qiao really want me to ask the king for instructions?"

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the people behind him surrounded Chen Xun, isolating the girl Yuhuan.

No matter what, in the lobby today, Chen Ming would not allow Qiao Minshan and Meng Jin to continue interrogating Chen Xun.

Now an ultimatum has been given. Once what happened here today is reported to the king, there will be no room for maneuver on the matter. Even if he kills Chen Xun, he will be easily remembered by the king. Once he is suspected by the king, he will never have a peaceful life in the future!

But before the king was disgusted and took action, a deputy governor's counterattack was enough to make the two of them drink a pot.

"Let him speak."

Just when tensions were rising on the field, a voice came from outside the Yimen.

This voice is somewhat familiar, and many people feel as if they have heard it somewhere.

Even the people outside the wooden fence felt familiar.

At the same time, dozens of school lieutenants dressed in black, with black cat tokens hanging from their waists, ran over in small steps and stood in two rows on both sides of the courtyard in front of the Yimen and the lobby.
