Fang Jun was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, I remember your loyalty, so I have suffered! But as he said, how can a decent man let his brothers and sisters suffer on his behalf? You did everything for so-and-so
If you do it, I cannot abandon you, otherwise why would you stand between heaven and earth?"
Cheng Wuting tampered with records and stole evidence, all for the purpose of exonerating Fang Jun. Now that Cheng Wuting was tortured like this by the Ministry of Punishment, how could Fang Jun not feel guilty and moved at the same time?
This rough man cannot be eloquent, but he uses his actual actions to explain what loyalty and a man are!
Fang Jun's words "brothers and brothers" made Cheng Wuting quite happy.
He knew that Fang Jun knew people all over the world, but there were only a few people he could truly call "brother".
What is a brother?
A brother who can share life and death, a brother and sister who can share joys and sorrows!
When you charge forward bravely, the brothers will stand behind you!
Cheng Wuting's nose was sore and his eyes were confused. He gritted his teeth and withstood the punishments of the Ministry of Punishment without asking for mercy. However, he was moved to tears by Fang Jun's "brother"...
All the pain is worth it!
He knew how proud Fang Jun was! None of the princes in the Hall of the Punishment Department could be taken seriously by him! Fang Jun had soaring arrogance and soaring ambitions, and he was destined to be the one who looked down upon the world.
!
But now, Fang Jun is willing to lower his noble head so that he no longer has to endure the pain of punishment...
If you have a close friend in life, what regrets will you have if you die?!
Fang Jun clapped his hand, smiled, and raised his head.
"Someone pleads guilty..."
His smile was sour and his tone was low, revealing deep helplessness.
Wei Yijie and others let out a long sigh...
Li Xiaogong shook his head slightly, feeling sad in his heart.
This is the power of aristocratic families, they always have countless ways to make you bend your spine and sell your soul!
His Majesty's wish has been fulfilled.
But……
If His Majesty knew what was going on here, he wouldn't be happy, right?
All the officials in the lobby of the Criminal Department breathed a sigh of relief. Both those who were close to Fang Jun and those who wanted to bring down Fang Jun felt relaxed.
It’s settled!
Wei Yijie stood up, took the pen and paper handed over by the clerk, walked out of the desk and came to Fang Jun. He wanted to hand the pen and paper to Fang Jun and ask him to sign the confession, but his heart jumped suddenly.
, a thought flashed in my mind, and I felt guilty and hesitated for a moment.
What if this guy writes poetry again?
Wei Yijie was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Fang Jun's consecutive poems almost completely ruined Wei Yijie's reputation. The poem "Famous Festival Heavy Mountains" just now made people in the hall
The Dukes of Gonggun scolded them all together. If I write another one now...
Linghu Defen urged: "What are you doing standing still? Let him sign it quickly!"
As long as Fang Jun signs the signature, the situation is set, and Fang Jun's downfall is a foregone conclusion. As long as Jing Zhaoyin loses his official position, he is a tiger without minions, relying solely on his status as a prince consort and as a prince.
, is it not easy to make it round and flat?
Wei Yijie could only hand over the pen and paper, staring at Fang Jun's hand...
Fang Jun reached out to take the pen and paper, unfolded the rice paper, and held the pen in his hand...
At this moment, a sharp and short shout suddenly came from the door: "Princess Changle has arrived!"
The lobby of the Criminal Department was suddenly filled with solemn silence.
All the officials were a little confused...
This place is the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, and what is being held is the "Three Judges", which is the highest judicial process in the empire. If you, a princess, are not cultivating yourself in the palace or traveling around, what are you doing here?
But after all, she is also a princess, and since she is here, she must have something important to do. Everyone immediately did not dare to neglect, got up and left their seats, and rushed to the door to pick up the driver...
Princess Changle came with Pingpingtingting accompanied by two maids.
A dark palace dress tightly wraps her slender figure, which makes her skin whiter than snow. Her beautiful face is painted with exquisite makeup, and her hair is tied into a solemn bun with blue silk, and she is flying like a phoenix.
Under the sun, it shines brightly, its features are picturesque, and its expression is tranquil.
Compared with the ordinary Taoist robes, it adds a bit of splendor and brilliance...
Princess Changle came to the door of the lobby and stood still happily.
All the officials hurriedly bent over to salute and shouted in unison: "My lord, please see Her Royal Highness Princess Changle."
Princess Changle's beautiful face remained unchanged, her cherry lips parted lightly and she said, "Your Majesty, please bow down without any ceremony."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Only then did everyone stand up straight.
Princess Changle glanced at Fang Jun, who was at the end of the crowd, and said slowly: "I am presumptuous and should not come to disturb the lobby of the Third Division Judge. There is something in my heart that I have to say. It is a matter of concern.
It's very important, I hope you ministers can understand."
Liu Ji took a step forward and asked respectfully: "I wonder what your highness is talking about?"
He has always been dissatisfied with the royal family, and he always likes to fight with the royal family to gain his reputation. If someone else came to interrupt the main hall of the three judges at this moment, Liu Jie would have to say a few words and then write a letter.
A serious impeachment...
But Princess Changle is an exception.
His Highness has always been low-key, and has a beautiful appearance but a beautiful heart. He is a rare person among the royal princesses. His reputation among the people is very good, and Liu Ji has a very good impression of him. He also knows that His Highness has always known how to understand.
Properly, since you can come to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, there is a reason why you have to come.
Princess Changle paused for a moment and said softly: "I...come to bear witness."
Everyone present was stunned for a while...
As your majestic princess, you have always lived in seclusion to study Taoism and cultivate your mind. What testimony can you give, and to whom are you testifying?
Sun Fuga asked: "I wonder if the meaning of His Highness's words may be related to the case of Fang Jun that is currently being tried?"
Princess Changle nodded slightly and said: "Exactly."
"In that case, please invite Your Highness to come in and we will operate according to the procedure of the case. What do you think of His Highness?"
"I have this intention. I came here today just because I know something in my heart, so I came here to testify. In the court, there are only witnesses but not Your Highness. You don't have to be formal. Everything is done according to the rules."
"Then, Your Highness, please!"
The officials lined up on both sides and surrounded Princess Changle as they entered the main hall. Liu Dewei ordered the clerk of the Ministry of Punishment to bring a chair for Princess Changle to sit on, and then all the officials took their seats one after another.
Princess Changle sat dignifiedly on a chair, with two maids standing behind her.
She raised her beautiful eyes slightly and glanced at Fang Jun who was standing opposite with a suspicious look on her face. Her pretty face had no expression and she lowered her eyes slightly.
The trial continues.
Sun Fuga was the presiding judge today and asked Princess Changle: "Since Your Highness is here to testify, may I ask who you are testifying for and what kind of testimonial you are testifying for?"
Liu Dewei and Liu Ji frowned and looked at Princess Changle, who had a straight waist and dignified manner, puzzled.
Wei Yijie felt a strong uneasiness in his heart!
His Highness and Changsun Chong were a married couple, so they naturally knew each other very well. Could it be... He suddenly became panicked.
Princess Changle said softly: "I am here to testify for Fang Jun."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked!
Actually testify to Fang Jun?
Although Fang Jun is your brother-in-law, the eldest son of the deceased, Sun Dan, is also your brother-in-law... Oh, the former brother-in-law...
Furthermore, even if you want to testify against Fang Jun, how can you be such a witness? Can you prove that Fang Jun was not present when the murder occurred? But Fang Jun’s confession that night was that he spent the night in the hotel room in Jingzhao Mansion. , even the wives and concubines at home cannot prove whether Fang Jun went to the scene of the murder, how can you prove it?
Is it possible...you want to say that Fang Jun stayed with you all night?
That would be a really big event!
The royal family of Li Tang Dynasty has Hu people's ancestry, and they have never cared much about ethics, etiquette, ethics, etc. That's why His Majesty Li Er took the criticized move of including his sister-in-law into the harem, and there was also the disgraceful move of Princess Fangling stealing someone. …
Everyone knows this.
But for you, a newly divorced princess, to stay with your brother-in-law all night long...that would be a more sensational scandal than having your brother-in-law enter the palace!
Sun Fuga composed himself and asked: "I wonder what the testimony...that His Highness said means?"
Everyone stared with wide eyes, waiting for Princess Changle to speak, as if they wanted to witness the birth of another scandal in the royal family!
Fang Jun is also confused. What evidence can you give me?
