Chapter 35 Emperor Xue Ye
Chapter 35 Emperor Xue Ye
The Minister of Punishment was expressionless on paper, but in his heart he cursed the eighteen generations of the Zuo Shilang of the Punishment Department.
This kind of thing has already been brought to the court. If it is not handled well, it will be a serious crime of killing people, confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
This is equivalent to a deputy manager under a general manager making a mistake. Before the general manager can curse, the mistake has already reached the ears of the board of directors.
Moreover, the chairman of the board found out about the fatal matter.
"What? A fire broke out in the cell, hundreds of people were disappointed, and all the prisoners escaped?"
Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Xia Xueye of the Tiandou Empire had a look of shock on his face when he heard this.
You must know that with the support of Wuhun Palace, the Tiandou Empire has been developing rapidly in recent years, and it is almost catching up with the trend of the Star Luo Empire.
But now, such an incident has occurred in the prosperous Tiandou City. How can this not make the Tiandou Emperor not angry?
The emperor clenched his fists tightly and stared at the Minister of Punishment with a cold gaze.
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Justice? What's your explanation?"
Among the crowd, the Minister of Punishment stepped forward and replied respectfully:
"The affairs of the prison cells of the Criminal Department have always been managed by the left minister of the Criminal Department. I only found out about the arson today. I am scared. I still don't understand the whole story."
Being able to hang out in the court for many years, everyone is a good person, giving up the car to keep the commander, and playing football is easy.
"Ministry of Justice Zuo Shilang, what is going on? Don't tell me, you don't know either." Emperor Xueye cast his gaze on Zuo Shilang among the crowd and asked with a gloomy expression.
The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment was only a third-grade officer, so he was not conspicuous in the middle of the crowd. But today, with the voice of His Majesty the Emperor, everyone turned their attention to the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment.
Beads of sweat as big as beans fell from Zuo Shilang's forehead. He took a step forward and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to Wei Chen's investigation, the cause of the matter is all because of a child named Zuo Zhu."
"Child?" Emperor Xueye couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"Yes." Zuo Shilang lowered his eyes slightly and said respectfully: "After Zuo Zhu was imprisoned in the cell, he hijacked the jailer and escaped with the help of the jailer.
And spread oil from the prison kitchen to every corner of the cell. This prevented the fire from spreading. "
"Can a child do this? Minister Zuo, do you think we are fools?" A person in the court said angrily.
The left minister of the Ministry of Justice did not dare to raise his head, but he knew who the speaker was, Wu Ming, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
"Yes, all of this was done by the kid named Zuosuke. Everything Wei Chen said is true. If there are any lies, they will be found out upon investigation."
Hearing that the Minister of Justice Zuo said this, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked, and they couldn't help but secretly remember the name Zuoshu in their minds.
"Where is that child? Bring him up. I want to ask him personally." Emperor Xue Ye said calmly.
The expression of the left minister of the Criminal Department instantly became embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" The change in the expression of the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment could not escape the eyes of the emperor and everyone. The emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but asked calmly.
Zuo Shilang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Yes, that's right, the Zuosuke we just talked about, he, he."
"What's wrong with him?" Emperor Xueye had a vague feeling in his heart.
"He escaped from prison." The left minister of the Criminal Department gritted his teeth and said bravely.
He knew that telling such a thing would definitely shock the entire court, but he also knew how terrible the crime of deceiving the emperor was.
Sure enough, as the Minister of Punishment finished speaking, the entire court exploded.
"What's going on, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, I think you have been in charge of the third rank for too long, why don't you abdicate and make way for someone better?"
"That's right, what's the use of a Minister of the Ministry of Justice who can't even look down on a small child?"
"That's enough." The left minister of the Ministry of Justice said with a red face: "I can only say that I underestimated that boy. Even if everyone here is sitting in my position, you may not do better than me."
"Bah, Minister of Justice Zuo, stop making excuses for your ignorance."
Listening to the noisy sounds below, the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire, Di Xia Xueye, had a calm look in his eyes, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy, angry, sad or happy.
"That's enough." Xue Ye waved his hand gently, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
"Okay, next question, why did Zuosuke set fire to the cell? What was the reason? Why did Zuosuke do this? Emperor Xueye asked calmly.
The reason why Zuo Zhu did this was to expose this matter to the court, and then the deeds of Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department who secretly killed the prisoner would be found out.
To kill a prisoner, unless it is a major crime of rebellion, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment has the right to kill him first and then kill him. Otherwise, he must report it to the emperor. Only after the emperor nods, can the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment execute the execution.
To carry out executions privately like this is, in the worst case, deceiving the emperor and a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
So Zuosuke wanted to use the emperor's hand to kill Zuo Shilang.
Zuo Shilang said respectfully: "The reason is very simple, because Zuosuke wanted to rebel, and even if he was discovered by Wei Chen and taken to prison, Zuosuke knew that there was only a dead end, so he would do such a crazy thing."
Obviously, in order to protect himself, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Justice directly charged Zuo Su with rebellion.
Sure enough, the emperor sitting at the top narrowed his eyes slightly, and two balls of golden light burst out from his eyes.
"Tell me the whole story of Zuo Shilang's matter, don't be so secretive." Emperor Xueye said in a cold tone.
"According to my investigation, Zuo Zhu is a student of Lanba Academy. The reason why he was imprisoned was because of murder. The motive for the murder was that he lost his mind due to the intensification of conflicts with his classmates at the school.
The body's potential was stimulated, not only injuring the teacher, but also killing the students. "
If Zuosuke were here, he would be shocked to find that in just one day, he could clearly investigate the beginning of the matter.
"Can a student injure a teacher?" Emperor Xue Ye asked in surprise.
"Yes, not only that, this boy is only twelve years old."
The emperor's expression became serious: "Twelve years old, have you investigated this kid's background? Such a genius should be a disciple of a big family."
Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment respectfully replied: "Weichen has investigated and Zuo Zhu once said that he is from Wuhun Palace. And according to the teaching director of Lanba Academy,
The girlfriend who claimed to be Zuosuke indeed took out the papal decree from Wuhun Palace, and it was the highest-level papal decree. "
"Pope's decree? And it's the highest-level papal decree?" After hearing the words of the Minister of Punishment, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
