139. Chapter 139 Chen Hao is crazy
This was unexpected to everyone. Although this was too despicable in everyone's opinion, it was the best way at present. But Wang Zheng said, "No, Lord Du, don't force the criminal like this!"
Seeing Wang Zheng stopping, Du Kang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, is the Lord's worries. Besides, the Lord has never forced the prisoner?"
"Even if Chen Hao is already a prisoner of death, he is still a literati. How can he tease and insult so much? Besides, he is now a crazy person, so why bother with him?" Wang Zheng said sharply. He, who is also a literati, naturally did not want to see an inconspicuous scene.
Du Kang pretended to be taught and bowed: "Mr. Wang said very well, but how could he know that he was not pretending to be crazy so that he could deceive the world and escape?"
Forehead……
This question stopped Wang Zheng. If it was difficult to tell whether Chen Hao's madness was true or not, even the prison doctor could not determine whether he was not aware of medical principles. Seeing that Wang Zheng was speechless when asked, Du Kang continued: "The most urgent task now is to distinguish whether Chen Hao is really crazy, otherwise we will not be able to handle the job there! Although this move of the subordinate is suspected of being humiliating, it is also a temporary solution..."
Wang Zheng thought that the emperor had been urging him again and again. If the case was not settled in time, he might be punished for ineffective handling of the case. Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Hao in the corner, sighed slightly and turned around and turned a blind eye.
Seeing that Wang Zheng had acquiesced to his proposal, Du Kang said to Chen Hao with a slight threat: "If you don't want to, we will snatch your things!"
Chen Hao curled up in the corner tremblingly, looked at Du Kang in horror, and his lips kept shaking: "I'm willing...I don't want to steal my things!"
As soon as the words were finished, Chen Hao couldn't wait to hold his black hat and drank the remaining urine. After drinking, he did not forget to smile at Du Kang and others: "Don't steal my things...Don't steal my things..."
Chen Hao's actions shocked Du Kang. He had always been suspicious of Chen Hao's madness, but he never thought that Chen Hao was simply and drank all the pungent urine without hesitation...
Could it be that Chen Hao is really crazy? Du Kang kept asking himself repeatedly. Although he never believed that Chen Hao would be crazy, he could not refute the facts before him.
"Mr. Du, you have also seen this person. Why should you make things difficult for him? Why should we report this matter to the Lord and make a decision!" Shi Zhongyu was quite sympathetic to see Chen Hao being so crazy. If it weren't for the young man in front of him who solved the tricks in Japan, Shi Zhongyu, the Minister of Justice, would have been dismissed from office and returned home.
"Hmph! I don't believe it. Come and quickly salvage the cesspool items..." Du Kang snorted coldly, signaling his subordinates to get the manure.
"Slow down! Lord Du, please respect yourself!" Wang Zheng could no longer calm down. He could not tolerate Du Kang's actions. Even if Dali Temple tortures the prisoners, how could such dirty things be used?
Although Du Kang knew that it was too overstepping power, he was unwilling to persuade him: "Mr. Wang, the lower officials are also seeking the truth. Only in this way can the true form of this person be revealed..."
"Mr. Du! Please remember that this is Dali Temple, not the Censorate. I am free to determine whether it is true or not. I have no need to worry about it. I have been a Dali Temple minister for ten years and have been a judge of countless cases. Could it be that I am not as good as you?" Wang Zheng scolded with a serious expression. Wang Zheng was very disgusted with Du Kang, the chief censor, who was here to make trouble.
"Yes! It was caused by the momentary indignation of the emperor. I hope you will forgive me!" Du Kang's face changed slightly, and he bowed and apologized. But when he lowered his head, a resentful look flashed by.
"This matter ends here. I will report to the emperor tomorrow!" After saying that, he ordered the prison chief to take good care of Chen Hao, and then he left unhappily.
Wang Zheng's words were obvious, but Du Kang knew it was meaningless to stay here. He looked back and glanced at Chen Hao and left angrily. In a blink of an eye, Chen Hao was the only one left in the entire cell. Chen Hao still smiled foolishly, holding a black hat and swaying constantly. Then he danced in the cell, his head was extremely crazy, and he sang unknown little songs from him from time to time.
The prison chief and the prison officials could not help but shook their heads when they saw this. They knew more or less about Chen Hao's origin. Seeing that the Hanlin scholar who was once famous in the capital ended up like this crazy end, they felt very sorry and had a little more pity.
He was speechless all night. The next morning, Wang Zheng truthfully reported Chen Hao's current situation in the Xuanzheng Hall. Wang Zheng's words immediately caused a shock in the court. It is hard to imagine that Chen Hao, who was still a few days ago, was now in a crazy end.
Wang Zheng's words would naturally not be convinced by the ministers. The first person to be affected was Li Bao, the Minister of Rites. Li Bao solemnly expressed his suspicion: "I think it must be Chen Hao's tricks and he used his madness to avoid his guilt!"
Li Bao's words were recognized by most people. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, people who are crazy can have a provision for reducing their sentences at their discretion. In addition, all the ministers could see that Emperor Xuanzong Li Chen intended to favor Chen Hao and wanted to make the matter smaller. This is also the reason why the ministers were strictly ordered not to publicize this matter since the government that day. If this matter is spread, it will be detrimental to the court and the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chen has been a little tired these days and asked Wang Zheng with a tired look on his face: "Wang Aiqing said that Chen Hao is so ill that he is crazy, is there any evidence?"
Wang Zheng did not dare to be negligent and bowed to respond: "There is a prison in the Dali Temple prison who is superb in medical skills. After he diagnosed it as a mad disease. The decisive statement made by the empress do not come without reason..."
"Mr. Wang's words are wrong. How can a prison doctor be trustworthy? Is a prison doctor an imperial doctor? Besides, whether the prison doctor is bribed by a thief, it is not known whether the prison doctor is a fake case..." Du Qian made a list of refuting Wang Zheng's words at this moment, which can be said to be a sharp saying. Because of the last incident, Du Qian was demoted to the first rank for no reason, and the resentment in his heart can be imagined.
When Wang Zheng heard Du Qian's words, he felt angry and thought that this was the one you came to him, so he fought against each other: "Mr. Du Qian, if your Du family had not intended to punish Chen Hao, secretly bribed the history of the Dali Temple prison, so that Chen Hao had not eaten food for five days, how could he make the body weak, wind and cold enter the body and the body have high fever? How could he be crazy afterwards?"
"This... Lord Wang should not frame the case!" Du Qian really had no way of knowing this, because he did not participate in this matter.
Li Chen smiled lightly with interest and said, "Oh? Is this really the case?"
