"Lock it!"
The chief justice waved his hand while the two minor officials locked their hands and feet with shackles.
From the beginning to the end, Qin Xuan only watched coldly and did not resist.
In order to avoid falling into the tongue.
Given that the chief justice had determined the identity of a suspect, it was obvious that he was hostile to Zhang Tie.
After all, he was someone the Emperor valued. Even if the other party had great hostility, he would not dare to go too far.
However, once he made a move, the nature of the matter would change.
Qin Xuan raised his head and took a deep look, memorizing the other party's appearance in his heart.
This revenge would be taken sooner or later!
Watching the youth in shackles, the chief justice revealed a smirk.
He couldn't wait to let Ying Cheng and Ying Cheng, the two leaders of the imperial clan, see how he would vent his anger for them!
"I ask you, why did you kill sixteen people? What enmity do you have? Hurry up and call it out!”
Qin Xuan's expression was indifferent as he glanced at her coldly. The corners of his lips curled up into a mocking sneer.
He actually wanted to play word games!
"The assassin's corpse has already been transported over. You can take a look at it and judge it according to Great Qin's laws.”
The chief justice narrowed his eyes as he didn't delve into this question.
After all, according to Great Qin's laws, killing these Assassins was not a crime.
He had only set up a trap to see if the other party would fall for it.
"Who can prove that the dead were assassins?" If you killed someone, it was also possible that you deliberately pretended to be an assassin in order to get away with it!”
“……。”
Qin Xuan blinked and was speechless.
He could tell that no matter how he explained it, the other party would link it to murder.
Even if he wasn't guilty, he would still come up with some charges.
However, he was still puzzled. Wasn't he afraid of being exposed and punished by forcefully pinning the crime of murder on him?
Great Qin's laws were strict, and no one who could reach the high position of the Supreme Court was an idiot.
Since the other party knew that it was impossible to forcefully charge him with murder, he did it on purpose.
It seemed that there was no other reason other than disgust and humiliation.
'After all, it's the responsibility of the chief justice. As long as it's not too excessive, I could only suffer a loss silently!'
sure enough
The chief justice revealed a gloomier smile when he found that the other party didn't answer him.
"How dare you look down on me!" he shouted."Take off your clothes and flog me!" Beat him until he opens his mouth!”
"Yes!"
The two minor officials excitedly took out their whips and were about to attack.
Qin Xuan's gaze focused, and killing intent appeared in his eyes.
He actually wanted to torture her without asking about the right and wrong, and it was even in the middle of an interrogation!
This was clearly a humiliation!
If word got out, he would probably become a laughing stock.
Qin Xuan's gaze was cold as anger rose in his heart.
He clenched his fists tightly and secretly gathered strength.
Although he was an outsider, he couldn't let others bully him.
If they really wanted to humiliate him, they could just flip the table!
At that time, no one would be able to get any benefits.
Just as he clenched his fists tightly and was about to exert strength.
suddenly
The Left Supervisor hurriedly walked out and stopped the small official.
He took a few steps forward and said anxiously in a low voice,"Slow down! You can't use torture, you can't!"
"Prison Administration" clearly stated that during the interrogation, anyone who could be investigated according to the clues of their confession could not use torture to obtain the truth of the criminal's crime. It was superior, and anyone who used torture to extort a confession was inferior.
After all, Qin Xuan's identity was there.
It was okay to make things difficult for him before things were clear.
However, if they were to really be tortured, the Emperor would not be able to justify it!
The chief justice frowned as he thought for a short while.
He suppressed the thought of torture and humiliation.
"Lock up the suspect. We'll make a decision after the investigation is done!"”
Supervisor Zuo silently retreated to the side and heaved a sigh of relief.
It was reasonable to detain him temporarily before the case was finalized, so he did not stop him.
After being locked up for a few days, they would say that the matter had been investigated and that the assassins had been killed. They would be released without any charges, and no one would be able to blame them.
The goodwill that the chief justice wanted to convey to the imperial clan had been reached.
Qin Xuan raised his head and took a deep look. The corners of his lips curled up, revealing a mocking sneer.
In the end, he was still afraid and did not dare to go overboard.
"It's easy to lock me up, but it'll be difficult to invite me out when the time comes!”
"Humph!"
The chief justice replied with a cold harrumph,"Take him away and lock him in the A Prison!"
"Yes!"
Two minor officials escorted Qin Xuan to the prison.
They looked at each other, gloating.
Supervisor Zuo looked at the disappearing figure and felt uneasy.
"Sir, Jia Prison is used to lock up murderers and robbers. What if…"”
The chief justice threw a glance at him as he laughed out loud,
"I have already sent people to keep an eye on them. They won't die. At most, a few bones will be broken.
Besides, the bandits will be executed tomorrow.
When the time came, he would kill them and have an explanation.
'Don't worry, I'm the chief justice of the Great Qin Dynasty. I have the right to investigate. His Majesty won't blame me if there's a small accident in the process of imprisonment.'
I want to see if that Qin fellow can still be so arrogant when he's trampled under the bandits 'feet, hahaha!”
The moment the chief justice thought about how that brat who had cut off everyone's road to enfeoffment was beaten so badly in prison and begged for mercy, he felt pretty comfortable inside.
When the news of Qin Xuan being beaten up in prison spread, the clan relatives would definitely respond.
Who wouldn't want to rise to the position of the Nine Ministers?
The power of the imperial clan could not be underestimated.
Back then, in order to fight for power, the Imperial Clan had forcefully expelled all the scholars from the various countries who had joined Great Qin.
Even Prime Minister Li Si was expelled.
All the important positions in the Qin country were held by the imperial clan.
After that, he wrote the famous admonition to leave, which calmed the situation down.
Although the imperial clan had finally conceded and settled the matter, it also proved the strength of the imperial clan when they joined forces.
If one wanted to ascend to a higher position, other than the emperor's appreciation, they also needed the support of all parties.
With the support of the Imperial Clan, his chances of becoming the Prime Minister of Great Qin would be even greater!
Qin Xuan was his stepping stone to win the support of the imperial clan!
……
Da da!
Dense and orderly footsteps echoed in the night.
The dignitaries living on Green Harrier Street were awakened by the orderly footsteps. Many of them hurriedly climbed down from the woman's belly.
He put on his clothes and opened the door to secretly check.
This was Green Harrier Street, where high-ranking officials gathered. Even if the soldiers were patrolling, they would not make a sound so as not to disturb the rest of the adults.
There were loud roars and tragic sounds of fighting, followed by the shouts of soldiers.
Now, there was the sound of well-trained footsteps. Clearly, something big had happened!
Many people gloated.
He called over the servant and ordered,"Quick, quickly find out if that Qin fellow has been stabbed to death!"”
