    Late at night, Fusi, in the north town of the capital, was imprisoned.

    In a small cell, more than a dozen prisoners with sallow faces and dull expressions were each holding a fried chicken and gnawing fiercely. The only sound of gobbling could be heard in the cell.

    Ding Shun stood in the middle of the cell holding his knife. Under the dim light of the torch, the prisoners silently ate delicacies they had not tasted for many years, like hungry beasts. Ding Shun watched this scene quietly and smiled with satisfaction.  .

    "Listen, you bastards! You must already know what is waiting for you in the future. Today you do me a favor. I don't want to lie to you. To be honest, even if you help me, it is still a dead word, but every time you  People can get a settlement allowance of one hundred taels of silver. You all have wives, children and parents. One hundred taels of silver is enough for them to enjoy for several years. Anyway, it is time to die. Before you die, leave a thought to your wife, children and parents to redeem you.  Why not commit the sins committed during your lifetime?¡±

    A middle-aged prisoner was the first to finish eating the fried chicken. He sipped his fingers with unsatisfied content. With a nonchalant smile on his face, he cupped his hand towards Ding Shun and said with a smile: "This official is generous and will die sooner or later."  If you die, you can die happily if you have money. Leave some dowry for my wife and son to remarry. When I die, my wife and son will find a good family and live a more comfortable life. Sir, I will do this deal.  Well, isn't it just a matter of giving a few testimonies in court and then leaving the city to go to hell? Just give me a good time then."

    Someone took the lead, and the other prisoners thought for a moment and showed expressions of approval.

    Ding Shun laughed a few times, and then said viciously: "Okay, now that you have agreed, one hundred taels of silver per person will be sent to your home immediately. Everyone, please follow me out of the city. The ugly talk is ahead. Who will give it to me in court?"  If the news leaks out, you will not be the only one to die, but your whole family will die. You have been in prison for a long time, and you are well aware of the methods of Jinyiwei."

    ***************************************************  *************

    Recently, the court suddenly calmed down.

    Those officials who once clamored to kill Du Hong and Qin Kan no longer made any noise. They just stood quietly in the morning court in the Golden Palace without saying a word, and there was a hint of imminent rain in the calm.  eerie atmosphere,

    Ten days later, the witnesses and evidence related to Du Hong¡¯s case arrived in the capital, and the Third Law Division began to prepare for the opening of the court.

    The officials sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate were Shi Daishan, the censor of Zuo Du, the officials sent by the Ministry of Punishments were He Jian, the right minister, and Liu Yan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

    The three divisions held a joint hearing in the lobby of the Criminal Department.

    The case of Qin Kan¡¯s leaflets and inciting Gongsheng to cause trouble was related to the Du Hong case, and the two cases were tried together as one case.

    The case shocked the court, and people in the capital were also talking about it. Out of curiosity, people gathered outside the lobby of the Ministry of Justice to watch and hear the trial.

    The second day after the witness arrived in Beijing, the Ministry of Punishment officially opened the court, and the presiding officer was He Jian, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

    Xing Zhao, the censor of Zhejiang Province, Zhang Shizhen, the minister of Taichang Temple and Hanlin scholar, Cao Zuan, the minister of the Ministry of Works, and Jiao Fang, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, came to the hall to observe.

    There were crowds of people outside the hall. Inside the hall, there were two rows of Yamen servants holding red and black fire sticks. Shi Daishan, the imperial censor of Zuodu, and Liu Yan, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, were sitting on either side of He Jian.

    With everything ready, He Jian looked at Dai Shan, who was in his seventies. Dai Shan didn't smile and nodded gently with a straight face.

    Snapped!

    He Jian was shocked and said: "Bring someone to attack Du Hong, Qin Kan!"

    Du Hong and Qin Kan were brought out from the side of the hall by the government officials, and they stood in the middle of the hall.

    The two were imprisoned, but their honors were not revoked, so they did not have to kneel in the hall.

    He Jiansheng has a face with a Chinese character, his eyes are pure and innocent, and he is awe-inspiring.

    "Du Hong, do you know your guilt?"

    Du Hongcanglie smiled: "I am not guilty."

    "On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, thirteen weavers in Shaoxing Prefecture were killed. But what did you instruct the government officials to do?"

    "There is absolutely no such thing. On the contrary, I was asking Wang Peng, the supervising eunuch of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau, for their orders that day."

    "What kind of life are you asking for for them?"

    "Shaoxing weavers were exploited by the Suzhou Weaving Bureau. The Ministry of Internal Affairs originally paid 2 taels of silver per bolt of silk, but after layers of deductions, the wages that fell into the hands of the weavers were often less than 2 taels of silver. As a result, the weavers had a hard time and their families were in trouble.  The people¡¯s grievances are difficult to quell, and the weavers are also governed by me. When the people suffer, I have to plead for their lives.¡±

    He Jian shouted: "That's nonsense! That day you took the government officials to Wang Peng's official post, obviously to suppress the troublemaking weavers. I have obtained the testimonies of the people present. Du Hong, I advise you not to go to court."  Lie and sophistry, otherwise I will make you understand the king's lawStrict!  "

    "I am absolutely telling no lies. If I don't match even one word, I am willing to be struck by thunder from heaven!"

    Xing Zhao, the censor who was observing the trial, suddenly sneered: "What we talk about in court is evidence. If swearing and swearing are useful, why do we need to go to jail? Du Hong, you have been a parent official for so many years in vain. You have been interrogated."  There are so many cases. Could it be that if the prisoner swears an oath, you will forgive him and release him in court?"

    Liu Ji¡¯s party members Zhang Shizhen and Cao Zuan seemed to have heard a funny joke and laughed at the same time.

    Qin Kan, who was standing quietly beside Du Hong without saying a word, suddenly stared at the three of them and said coldly: "Are you the chief prosecutor of this case?"

    The three people¡¯s laughter paused: ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­¡±

    "Since you are not the chief judge, didn't your mother teach you when you were a child that you would be slapped if you interrupted indiscriminately regardless of the occasion?"

    The three people stared at Qin Kan and their eyes suddenly burst into angry flames.

    He Jian glanced at the three of them coldly and said: "Three gentlemen, I am ordered to preside over this case. In court, I only recognize the law and do not care about human relations. You have nothing to do with this case. You can just sit in, please."  Don't make any noise, you three, please respect yourselves."

    The three of them were frustrated and unable to vent their anger, so they had to give Qin Kan a hard look and sat down angrily.

    He Jian coughed twice, and just as he was about to continue the trial, he heard a high-pitched voice outside the court hall shouting: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived¡ª¡ª"

    Everyone in the hall condensed, and hurriedly stood up and was in the town to prepare for driving.

    A smile appeared at the corner of Qin Kan's mouth, and he felt a little warm and moved in his heart.

    Zhu Houzhao is a good friend who is affectionate and righteous after all.

    The people outside the hall were already kneeling on the ground. Zhu Houzhao, wearing a black floral brocade robe, swaggered into the court hall of the Ministry of Justice surrounded by Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others, and accepted the kneeling of the officials.

    He Jian hesitated for a moment and said: "Today I am presiding over a major case decided by His Majesty. It seems inappropriate for Your Highness to come here. Please invite Your Highness"

    Zhu Houzhao winked at Qin Kan while people were saluting, and then said with a straight face: "I was holding a Persian cat in my hand just now. It is a rare breed bought from the Semu people in the Western Regions"

    He Jian was confused: "Excuse me for being stupid, does your Highness's words have anything to do with the case?"

    "Of course it has nothing to do with the case, but it has a lot to do with me"

    "Whatwhat's the relationship?"

    "Just now when my chariot passed by the Xingbu Yamen, the cat jumped out of my hand and I saw it quickly ran into the Xingbu Yamen"

    "Soso?"

    Zhu Houzhao said loudly: "So I am here to look for the cat! Haha, you can continue to investigate the case and ignore me. I am only looking for my cat and will never say a word."

    He Jian wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile: "Even if Your Highness wants to disrupt the situation, please think of a better excuse, okay?"

    Zhu Houzhao blinked innocently: "I really came here to find the cat" (To be continued.
