Chapter 143 A Test

Abnay took the royal train south, crossing the Yellow River all the way through Hebei, crossing Shandong, entering Jiangsu, and finally got off in Yangzhou, boarded the yacht prepared by the royal family, and arrived in Shenjing.

As soon as he arrived in Shinkyung, Abunai knew that he had entered the trap.

King Chahar and his party were blocked by more than a dozen Bugui Nu on the way to Luming Pavilion at the port. The group broke through the defense of the sheriff and threw the rotten eggs and ragged shoes on King Chahar's face. Naya was the one who dominated all this. At the same time, Bagher beat the Dengwen Drum. The incident of Bugui Nu's complaint broke out completely. The empire had been calm for decades, just like pouring a glass of water into a oil pan, which was completely boiling.

The people of Shin Kyung like to watch the fun the most. Amid the discussions on the streets and alleys, Abunai's family did not live in the Luming Pavilion in Lifan Court, and also stopped entering the palace to meet. Instead, they were arranged to enter a separate building in the State Guesthouse, with all inside and outside being controlled by the people of the Security Bureau.

Because everything was a secret action, the political earthquake caused by the surrender of the emperor's lawsuit really surprised all forces.

No one dared to emerge at this time. Although the current emperor is in the name of benevolence and tolerance, all parties have learned about his methods. So everyone's first reaction is to wait for the emperor to move before reacting.

Two days after the complaint, the Zhongting announced the emperor's imperial edict.

The Dengwen Drum Hall accepted the case, and the Zhongting and the Ministry of Justice jointly handled the case, excluding both the House of Representatives and the Senate. It made people feel a bit inconsistent. If the emperor does not want to take advantage of the issue, he will not accept it and will just hand it over to the Lifan Court for disposal. If the emperor wants to take advantage of the issue, he should let the House Inspection Office handle it.

But another news quickly clarified the emperor's attitude, that is, it was not a nobleman from the Zhongjing who was in charge of the case, but Su Ri'an, the cabinet minister who specialized in legal affairs and public security in the cabinet.

Su Ri'an couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, and none of the outer vassals had a clean butt, so he could always find out something. However, the Ministry of Justice only investigated King Har of the defendant, and the plaintiff was responsible for the Central Court. Obviously, he still maintained the unsympathetic attitude of the Dengwen Drum Hall to accept the case.

This is destined to be the first major case in the empire in the 31st year, but the handling is very meticulous. This meticulousness is destined to be endless before the Spring Festival comes.

The attention of the political forces of all parties has changed. I want to know whether the emperor only had King Chahar, or took the opportunity to rectify the empire's foreign vassal system, or was it possible to capture all the systems of nobles and vassals in one go?

Shin Jing.

"Brother Yu, do you know that there are no fewer people in Beijing than here, and there are many famous places and historical sites there, and there are many ancient temples inside and outside the city, which are much more fun than Shenjing City. There are temple fairs almost every month, and all kinds of fun things are available..." Even though he has been back for four or five days, Li Zhaoji still cannot hide his joy and kept telling Li Junwei's eldest son, Li Zhaoyu about all kinds of fun objects in Beijing.

In fact, Li Zhaoji said it right. Beijing is an ancient capital of three dynasties and a thousand-year-old city, so there are naturally many famous places and historical sites. Shenjing is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. When Shenjing built a new city, it deliberately avoided the original Songjiang Prefecture City, which naturally lacked some humanistic atmosphere.

Li Zhaoyu is Li Junwei's eldest son and Li Zhaocheng's brother, but he is relatively weak, so he did not go north with Li Junwei.

This child is not liked by the Supreme Emperor Li Mingxun and King Yu Li Junwei. These two fathers and sons like clever men like Li Zhaocheng and bad boys like Li Zhaoji. However, Li Zhaoyu has the style of an elder brother and is mature in his youth, which is very similar to Li Junhua in his youth, so he is more popular with the emperor.

Li Zhaoyu looked at Li Zhaoji who still couldn't stop talking and said, "Zhaoji, you have been playing crazy all these days and have lost a lot of schoolwork. You should make up for it while you are having an annual leave."

"If you are not fun, you will know that you will be disappointed." Li Zhaoji was young, and his interest was interrupted, so he was naturally unhappy.

Li Zhaocheng played for another night last night, staring at his eyes in the car, drowsy. After Li Zhaoji shut up, he felt uncomfortable and opened his eyes and asked, "It's early in the morning, where are we going."

"The Imperial Prison." Li Zhaoyu said calmly.

"What are you doing when you go to the imperial prison?" Li Zhaocheng asked.

"Of course I'm going to see the prisoner. Do you think you would use a whip and burn the red soldering iron on your body like the legendary one?" Li Zhaoji was very excited.

Li Zhaocheng shook his head: "It shouldn't be possible. My mother has gone in and was scared."

"Is that true, is it?" Li Zhaoji immediately became interested again.

The so-called Zhaozhu is actually a prison controlled by the Security Bureau. In Li Mingxun's era, Zhaozhu was often crowded, but after Li Junhua ascended the throne, Zhaozhuzhu became much colder. The emperor has always been kind and advocated the spirit of the rule of law. There are wise ministers like Su Ri'an, and the Security Bureau has fewer roles as a violent machine.

"Which criminals are we looking for?" Li Zhaoji asked again.

Li Zhaoyu said: "The father didn't say it, but I think he knew it was related to the case of Bugui Nuqin."

"It's not that I'm going to see King Chahar who loves to pick his nose." said William.

"Are you stupid? You didn't read the newspaper. That guy was so old that he stayed in the State Guesthouse."

Little William was immediately upset: "How can the evil people be placed in the State Guesthouse? I have lived in the State Guesthouse for more than half a month. To be honest, it is more luxurious than the palace of His Majesty the Emperor."

"That's right, we Chinese are very proud of our face, and the royal family is frugal, so we can only save ourselves." Li Zhaocheng said proudly.

At this time, the carriage stopped, the guard opened the car door, pointed to the lively morning market and said, "Your Highness, Prince Yu, arrange it, let you eat some breakfast before going."

"Let's go and have a meal, I'll treat you." Li Zhaoji was the first to get off the car. This made Li Zhaoyu stunned. He felt that this younger brother had gone to Beijing and it seemed like a different person. If he had to despise him in the past, he would rather let the guards return to the palace to bring breakfast than to eat this roadside stall that lost value. Why is he so easy-going now?

Several children got out of the car, found a wonton stall to sit down, and started eating and drinking. However, Li Zhaoyu was a little uncomfortable, and the other children had long been used to it.

After eating and drinking, several children got into the car. Li Zhaoji looked at the school uniform he was wearing and said, "We are going to the imperial prison. We should be too inferior to wearing such a dress."

Li Zhaocheng said: "This is easy to deal with."

So he immediately ordered someone to go home to get clothes. Soon, the guards brought a few sets of clothes. The four guys changed into the car, including a big red python robe, a golden ribbon, a short sword hanging on the right, and a pistol inserted on the left. It was the one that Li Junwei did for his son at home after he came back. Only Li Zhaoji was younger and was a little uncomfortable when he put on it.

"Fortunately, the dagger did not open the sword, and the gun did not have bullets." Li Zhaoyu checked the weapon before he felt relieved.

"Brother Yu don't worry, Brother Zhaocheng and William are both old gunmen. We are shooting machine guns in front of so many foreign mausoleums in the Mulan Hunting Ground. Even if it is a real pistol, we are not afraid." Li Zhaoji waved his pistol and said with a smile.

Several children arrived at the imperial prison by carriage and saw the carriage from Prince Yu's mansion early. I thought Li Junwei would come one step earlier.

The head guard took the children into the depths of the prison. Most of the prisons were empty. A few prisoners shouted loudly, or howled and intimidated, which made Li Zhaoyu's face change. He had never seen such a vicious person. However, the other three were quite calm. Li Zhaocheng was particularly brave. Not only did he make faces at those guys, but he also pulled out a bullet-free revolver to scare one of the spitting guys.

After passing the prison area, he arrived at the work area. Li Zhaoyu asked the chief guard: "Where is the father?"

"Your Highness, the prince is asking Bagel, the leader of the Buguinu. He said that he would let the few of his highness arrive and go see the other prisoners first." The chief guard said.

Li Zhaoyu wondered: "What kind of constitution is this?"

"I don't understand this. This is the third uncle who lets us understand this case. It should be a test. He will definitely ask us later..." Li Zhaoji followed Li Junwei for more than half a year and had already figured out Li Junwei's temper. He imitated Li Junwei's tone and said, "...What do you guys think about this case?"

Li Zhaocheng gave a thumbs up: "Zhaoji, the more you learn, the more you look like."

The four were allowed to move freely in the work area, and four armed guards followed. They were allowed to do whatever they wanted, not only could they attend the interrogation, but they could even talk directly to Naya and others.

The imperial complaint in the Dengwen Drum Hall was not so easy to sue. After Naya and others were detained by the Security Bureau, they were investigated and found out. The relevant files from the Lifan Court, the Security Bureau and other places were transferred, but these still could not fully demonstrate the crimes committed by these people. Instead, Naya and others had already had the awareness of confessing their guilt and imprisoning the law. They poured beans into bamboo tubes and said it happily.

Whether it is the Security Bureau or the Imperial Security Bureau system, of course, it is not just about listening to the prisoners' statements. In order to determine the truth, it is often necessary to constantly verify with the files or the person in charge. Another way is to constantly let the prisoners tell the process and causes and consequences of the crime. If it is fabricated, there will often be different details every time.

So what the four children heard was Naya's fifth revelation about his grievances and grievances with King Abunai of Chahar, and several children also took the previous records to see. The other prisoners had some problems, either concealing them or avoiding the important ones. This was not their instinctive self-protection mechanism. But Naya did not, and perhaps he was the only one who saw through life and death.

I spent the morning like this, and lunch was eaten in the office of the Zhaozhuo Prison. Li Junwei did not ask the children seriously what they thought about the case as Li Zhaoji had expected, but went straight to the point and asked: "Do you think Naya should die?"

"He will die. The file says that Naya killed seven people, and he admitted that he killed at least eleven. Although I don't know much about the laws of the empire, killing so many people will always pay for my life." Several children of the Li family were still hesitating, but William said.

Li Junwei waved his hand: "William, I'm not asking Naya if she will die, but whether she should die."

"Is there any difference?" William's language level is still limited.

Li Junwei patiently explained: "I will change the question, assuming that you have the power to decide his life and death, or more appropriately, assuming that you are the emperor of the empire, how will you deal with Naya and whether you will kill him."

Li Zhaoyu and Li Zhaoji fell into deep thought, and the chopsticks in their hands stopped. Only Li Zhaocheng was heartlessly eating a chicken leg. After eating, he wiped the oil from his mouth and said, "Dad, is this a test, a test, what will happen if I say the wrong thing?"

"There is no correct answer to this question, just ask your attitude." Li Junwei said casually: "When I was as old as you, your grandfather also asked us brothers with similar things."

Li Zhaocheng said, "That's good to say." As he said that, he stood up, walked with his hands behind his back, and said, "I think, this guy Naya is a real man. He has been avenging his mother and sister for so many years. If it were me, I would let him go and find someone to die for him. This would be a thing of the same. It not only safeguards the dignity of the imperial law, but also deserves his conscience."

Li Junwei nodded: "It's a good answer."

Li Zhaoji said, "Uncle San, if it were me, I would not kill Naya. I would beg my father to pardon him and let him live."

Li Junwei smiled and looked at his eldest son Li Zhaoyu. Li Zhaoyu said, "The law should be given the final say. According to the law, he should die, and then die. If he does not follow the law, what should the law do?"

"William, where are you?" Li Junwei looked at William Xiao.

Little William scratched his head: "I don't know your highness, I think what the three of them said makes sense."

"But you are the heir to the Grand Duke of Prussia, and you will encounter this kind of problem sooner or later." Li Junwei said.

William Little said: "I will ask the prime ministers and other ministers around me like my father. I think they will give different answers and then publish these answers for everyone to discuss. Most people support what to do, and I will do what I will do."

"So, you have no attitude, only a way." Li Junwei smiled.

Li Junwei did not talk in depth. The children were originally here for fun, but after watching the tragic events, they were destined to be depressed. On the way back, Li Junwei and the children were on the same bus, while the children still bowed their heads, as if they were still thinking about that question.

"I said that there is no standard answer to this question," said Li Junwei.

The other three children did not speak, only Li Zhaoyu said: "I think my answer is the worst."

"Why?"
