Concubine Hu had a calm face: "You are talking nonsense. My father must have been wronged by you and forced to sign and seal it. Do you say he is voluntary or voluntary? What evidence is there?"

"Your Majesty, the confession is in the Ministry of Justice. If your Majesty asks you to bring it, you will know whether it is a slander! " Chen Xiao said.

The emperor took a deep breath and said with a cold face: "Come here, let the Minister of Justice bring the confession of Concubine Hu's father!"

The eunuch went there immediately, and the atmosphere became quiet.

The emperor squinted his eyes at Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao looked at Concubine Hu.

Concubine Hu had a cold face.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the study room was a little depressing.

Soon, the Minister of Justice hurried into the imperial study room, bowed and said, "See Your Majesty..."

"Certificate, have you brought it?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, I've brought it. Please take a look..." The Minister of Justice handed over the confession letter, and the old eunuch took it and gave it to the emperor.

The emperor looked at it and saw that the confession letter was written clearly and neatly about Hu Tianyou's crimes that Chen Xiao had said.

The confession letter is very clean, without any dirt and blood stains. On it, Hu Tianyou's signature is also neat and clear, as if it was written very seriously.

Including his handprints, they are pressed not lightly or heavily, clearly visible and very neatly.

This is not like a confession, it is clearly like a deed of a house, and the person who signed the documents and sealed them took it too seriously.

You know, it is difficult to get criminals to sign and plead guilty on weekdays.

Once a confession is made, it means a sentence.

Therefore, criminals usually sign and seal the signature in two situations, either they are unable to defend themselves, the evidence is conclusive, and they are reluctant to sign and seal the signature.

Either they were tortured and forced to confess, and could not stand the criminal law and signed and sealed.

This type of person is usually injured, with blood on his body, and may be seriously injured, so it is difficult to sign and seal, so the signature will be sloppy and the handprint will be blurred.

Even the confession was dirty.

Among them, the forced signature and seal were extremely uncooperable, let alone the handprints of the signature.

Therefore, from the confession letter, you can see the status of the signing and sealing.

Needless to say, Hu Tianyou's confession letter looks like the kind that people are very happy to sign and write love.

Not to mention any forced behavior.

The emperor said: "Well, it seems that Chen Xiao is telling the truth. He really did not torture and force confessions."

Chen Xiao smiled, there was no forced confession, and there was still some severe punishment.

At that time, Hu Tianyou was tortured by Chen Xiao in various ways and was not in a hurry to let him sign and seal it. Hu Tianyou was anxious, so he signed and laid his handprints seriously.

He was afraid that Chen Xiao would say that his signature was not standardized, and then he continued to torture him on the grounds that he did not want to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, Hu Tianyou has confessed his guilt, so it is not too much to sentence him to death? Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to judge... with the power of the law!"

What Chen Xiao said was reasonable and reasonable, and the emperor was speechless for a moment.

Concubine Hu immediately refuted Chen Xiao and said:

"Mr. Chen, you keep saying that my father is guilty, but no matter how guilty he is, he is also a royal relative. As long as it is not unforgivable, he will not die.

But what do you mean by directly sentenceing my father to death on this confession? Could it be that the royal relatives are so unbearable in your eyes?"

Chen Xiao said lightly: "Because you are a royal relative, you should set an example, serve Your Majesty, serve the court, and uphold the laws and regulations. Concubine, you are Your Majesty's woman and the imperial concubine of the royal family.

Is it beneficial to you to be so arrogant and domineering outside, ignoring the law, bullying men and women, and causing a slander. Is it beneficial to you? Is it beneficial to Your Majesty?"

"You..." Concubine Hu said angrily: "Why do you make a mistake in a moment? People are not sages, so who can be without mistakes?"

Chen Xiao said with a cold face: "Absurd, this is your reason? If I, Chen Xiao, had violated the law today, would you think so? Besides, your father just made a mistake? As a royal relative, he did not know how to be so careful and did not face the royal family.

But instead, he bullied men and women in the streets and beat the constable, even if his servants besieged me, the imperial magistrate. What is this not a death sentence? Which one is your concubine who can excuse him?"

Concubine Hu was stunned. She stared at Chen Xiao with her eyes, and for a moment, she didn't know how to refute.

He had to look at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty... I am indeed wrong in my father, but he is a royal relative after all. Chen Xiao's move is clearly a way to slap our royal family in the face with the law..."

The emperor looked at the Minister of Justice without expression and said, "You are in charge of criminal law. What should you do if you tell me?"

The Minister of Justice smiled bitterly. What did he say about this?

According to the legal perspective, he must have thought that Chen Xiao still makes sense.

However, what Concubine Hu said also has some truth. The royal relatives are not ordinary people. Many times, the royal relatives have privileges.

This privilege is difficult to define, but it can be easily deducted from violations of the law.

What's more, is he still the father of a concubine?

Actually, this matter mainly depends on the emperor.

The emperor said that he would punish him, so he would punish him.

The emperor said that he would forgive the royal relatives and relatives. What can you do?

So, the Minister of Justice stammered and said, "Your Majesty, this... I am also unsure of my mind..."

"Hmph, as the Minister of Justice, are you unsure of your own?" the emperor said unhappily.

The Minister of Justice was speechless, thinking that you couldn't even make up your mind, so you should give me a blame?

The emperor was really confused, and he didn't know what to do.

Who is not good for crime? It is the concubine's father who commits crime. In a sense, the concubine's father is also one of the emperor's many father-in-laws.

So it's hard for him to deal with this matter.

I was really killed? How sad is my concubine? After all, she is my own woman.

If you don’t kill it, it’s really illegal. It’s still caught by Chen Xiao, the stubborn cow, and he has a headache.

Taking a deep breath, the emperor said, "That...this question...I...I think..."

It is said that it is difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family matters!

He is the emperor, isn't it?

Now, I can't worry.

"That... Chen Xiao..."

Chen Xiao said: "Your Majesty, the national law is unkind. Please ask Your Majesty to judge..."

The emperor immediately blocked his words and said, "I know..."

"Your Majesty... I am the only one father. I died early, and I am the only one father that pulled me up... If my father was gone, I wouldn't want to live..." Concubine Hu cried.

The emperor was stunned and hurriedly said, "I know too... don't worry..."

Seeing this scene, the Minister of Justice was surprised.

I thought that the Majesty, who made decisive decisions in the court on weekdays, was really in trouble this time...

He couldn't help but glance at Chen Xiao and thought to himself, you really have a habit.

Last time I was punished by Your Majesty’s son, but this time I was just provoking Your Majesty’s woman. Is it so unhappy before I became someone’s son-in-law?
