Chapter 1386 Is It Just a Matter of Comparing Who Can Tell the Truth Faster? Case Closed!

Liu Wei spoke up: "What Mr. Wan said is very interesting. You can say that Wangqu and Huangpang are not good, but the prince says they are good? Why, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the prince is not allowed to light lamps? Whatever you say is fine. What is it? It has to be something if it isn’t? What others say is sophistry, nonsense, and

You are talking nonsense and telling lies. Are you being a little unreasonable? "

Wan Li looked at Liu Wei with a sullen face: "Who are you? Do you have the right to speak in the county hall?"

Qian Mengyao immediately supported Liu Wei: "I asked her to say it, how about it?"

Wan Li clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and turned his head away: "Since you have decided to slander Wan, why do you have to be so pretentious and fair and strict? What kind of public trial is this? It's just disgusting!" Liu Wei whispered softly: "Master Wan, let's talk nicely and don't lose your temper. You said earlier that these people have witnessed so many bad things. Some of them beat their wives and children, and some of them forced girls into prostitution. It sounds like they are not good people. So, you Why do these bad guys come all the way here?

Did you come to Xijin County to deliberately accuse you, a good person? "

Wan Li frowned and was about to answer. Liu Wei interrupted him again: "You will definitely say that this is because someone arranged it, and someone wants to harm you. In such a big world, why would someone want to harm you? Apart from other things, our Sima from Baishanzhou Sir, we are both governors of the same state and have the same official residence as you, so how come no one has set up

A plan to frame Lord Sima? Why did I come to you? "

"You are so messy!" Wan Li said coldly.

Liu Wei said: "Then you are using strong words to reduce the testimony of several witnesses and material evidence to nothing. Isn't this just nonsense in another sense? It is clearly a matter of solid evidence. You just said a few words and took advantage of some loopholes to erase it all. Destruction? Are you a little too self-righteous? "

Wan Li forced her to become extremely angry and scolded: "You little bastard is making such big talk, I don't need to explain to you!"

"Master Wan, I call you Master Wan to give you face, but you cannot call yourself 'my official'. You are now a suspect, and your black hat has been taken off. What you say is equivalent to impersonating a court official, Zhuang Sir, what is the crime of impersonating a court official?"

Zhuang Chang listened to Liu Wei's words with great satisfaction, and immediately replied: "Pretending to be a court official is a crime of exile!"

Liu Wei said lightly: "Then you can add one more thing. Wan Li just made rude remarks in public, despised the court, and pretended to be a court official. With so many people present, this time, there are finally all the witnesses and physical evidence, right?"

Zhuang Chang really listened to her words and climbed up the pole: "I have remembered it. Master, has this crime been written down?"

The master next to him nodded immediately: "It's written, it's written."

Singing and harmonizing, it's like acting.

In fact, this is acting, isn't it a language trap? Isn't it just a matter of comparing who can tell the truth faster? He Wan Li has his Zhang Liang plan, and they can naturally build a ladder over the wall. Compared with the backstage, is Sima Ji as powerful as King Ru Jiang?

There is evidence, both personal and physical evidence, things are there, people are there, and you want to overturn the case just by talking about it? Isn’t it too beautiful to think about? Liu Wei saw that Wan Li had a dark face and was silent, but he still refused to give up: "Master Wan, what you just said to evade can be said by any lawyer. You are not that powerful, and your words are not that impeccable." , if you feel unconvinced or unwilling, there is another way,

You can file an imperial complaint. For such a crime, you will naturally be punished in Beijing. When you get to the imperial city, you can ask the emperor to redress your grievances and see if the emperor is willing to care about your life or death. "

When he said the last sentence, Liu Wei glanced at Sima Ji in the auditorium. Sure enough, Sima Ji's expression suddenly changed, and then he said something to the attendant beside him.

Sima Jihui's sudden appearance is inherently weird. Friends in the officialdom are all friends who forget their loyalty for profit. Even brothers from the same school will go their separate ways when disaster strikes.

I don’t know how Wan Li tricked Sima Ji into supporting him, but if Sima Ji knew that the emperor had given up on Wan Li, would he be so stupid and continue to take advantage of Wan Li?

Sima Ji had indeed heard about the loss of power in the capital. During Wan Li's remand, there were too many gossips in the capital. Sima Ji had not decided whether to help Wan Li before, but he could not figure out the emperor's plan. Afraid of accidentally offending Long Yan.

But after all, the emperor did not have a clear attitude, but Wan Li kept sending people to lobby him. Sima Ji finally let Wan Li talk it through and believed what Wan Li said "the emperor wanted to avoid suspicion."

After believing it, he came, but now in public, a random outsider even mentioned such firm words as "Let's see if the emperor cares about your life or death." Sima Ji panicked again, and after asking around cautiously and tentatively, someone next to him All the other officials gave him the same answer.

The emperor will definitely not control Wanli. If he wanted to, how could the governor's office have the guts to interrogate him in court? I had found a reason a long time ago and handled it gently.

This makes sense. Sima Ji's back was wet and he was sweating profusely. He had really tricked Wan Li.

After seeing the current situation clearly, Sima Ji couldn't sit still for a moment and swayed from side to side as if he had lice.

But at this moment Qian Mengyao walked over and stood in front of him.

Sima Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up immediately, bowing and saluting: "I have met the prince."

Qian Mengyao glanced at his dark head and raised his eyebrows: "Do you feel comfortable sitting in my position?"

Sima Ji swallowed hard, looked back at the chair he had been sitting on for a long time, hurriedly got out of the way, and respectfully said: "I beg your pardon, I didn't know this is your seat, my lord!"

Qian Mengyao didn't sit down either. He just looked at him and said, "There is no seat for you in this hall. Do you know why?"

Sima Ji still didn't understand this hint. He lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm confused, please give me some advice."

Qian Mengyao lowered his voice, and what he said was not like a suggestion, but more like a threat: "Master Sima, why should you destroy your future for someone who doesn't need it? I remember that you are seven or eight years younger than Wan Like. This Baishanzhou Can I still hold the position of governor for another seven or eight years?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Sima Ji agreed wholeheartedly, but couldn't help but glance at Wan Li's position in front of the hall. Finally, he gave up and bowed his hands deeply, saying: "I will resign."

After saying that, he turned around and left with his attendants. After Sima Ji had left, Wan Li realized that he was running away from the battlefield and hurriedly called people back. However, Zhuang Chang in the hall spoke out at this moment: "Yin Wanli, the governor of Qianting Jiangzhou, has committed corruption, accepted bribes, covered up evil deeds, and committed evil deeds. Lawlessness, twenty-four common crimes, all are true and must be quibbled with

, now this official has ruled that Wan Li has multiple crimes. Although he is exempted from the death penalty, he will not be able to escape the crime of living. He will be remanded to the capital a month later and will be imprisoned in the capital for thirty-two years to serve as a warning to others! "

This is the advantage of the Inspector's Office. In this world, only the Inspector's Office can directly convict a second-grade local official like Wan Li without going through the imperial trial.

In this way, ten thousand cases are filed and concluded.

Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, Wan Li is not willing to give in. As Liu Wei said, he still has a breakthrough point, which is to go to Beijing to file a petition. If the emperor still can't let him go, he still has a chance of survival.

But, will the emperor be reluctant to part with it?

Wan Ruxue's dowry list and the two million taels of embezzled taxes prepared by Wan Li are now on their way to the capital. As long as the emperor receives the money, Wan Li will be dead. Wan Li was the number one scholar at that time, with a distinguished status, and had been an official for many years. Therefore, even if he committed the 24 Articles, the penalty he was sentenced to was only thirty-two years in prison. If his head was to be killed, the Inspector's Office would not be able to do anything. So, the emperor could only speak in person. With these two million taels of silver, Wan Li would be "full of money".

I wonder if the charges of "privacy" and "stirring others" are enough for the emperor to sentence him to death? Now Wan Li may still regard "entering the capital" as his last life-saving talisman. However, he does not know that after actually entering the capital, he will die. The final moment.
