Can you live forever

Chapter 59: Going to the court to try the case

Luo Wenzhong was very annoyed, because the case was no longer as simple as Dengwen Drum's manifestation. Some people had already started to fish in troubled waters, and some people in the rivers and lakes began to act chivalrously under the cover of Dengwen Drum.

At the same time, some people took the opportunity to attack political opponents.

For example, last night, Chen Tao, the censor of patrolling the city, died. After an inspection by Wu Zuo, it was found that he was stunned by drugs, and then strangled to death with a rope. After his death, he pretended to hang himself.

If the Dengwen drum really appeared, the jump speed would not be so large, after all, the officials of the ninth rank have not started to die yet...

The Xuncheng Yushi is the seventh rank, and he exercises the power of supervision.

There are a total of 110 censors in the thirteen supervisory censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, all of whom are inspecting places on behalf of the imperial court. They can control everything, and they can directly write letters to the emperor.

Of course, there is no emperor in Nanjing, and the supervisory censor is directly responsible to the council.

Although Nanjing and the capital are two teams, the official rules are similar, and the officials are also supervised and inspected every year. After all, if they are all rotten, they will not even be able to collect taxes. How can the big bosses make money.

Therefore, the death of Chen Tao, the censor of patrolling the city, was very eye-catching.

Luo Wenzhong even sensed something was wrong, because this was probably Cui Wen's attack, and Chen Tao's butt was definitely not clean...

"Prefect Luo, the Dengwen drum is ringing again!"

"When will you thoroughly investigate Ying Tianfu's grievances?"

Xu Pengju's loud voice rang out from outside the door, and Luo Wenzhong's face turned dark immediately, but there are still such a group of people who are fueling the flames, how can these cases be settled?

After Luo Wenzhong talked to his master, he wanted to leave through the back door, avoiding Xu Pengju.

But Xu Pengju jumped in with one stride, grabbed Luo Wenzhong's sleeve like chasing the wind and the moon, and asked with a smile: "Where is the prefect Luo going?"

Luo Wenzhong said in embarrassment, "urgency to urinate, urgency to urinate."

"Oh, go to Prefect Luo quickly, I'll wait for you here, um, master, right? What happened to the case yesterday, hurry up and show me."

Xu Pengju sat directly at Luo Wenzhong's chair, and the master looked at his host in embarrassment. Luo Wenzhong waved his hands with a dark face, telling the master to follow Xu Pengju's words.

What else?

This is Wei Guogong, no matter how bad he is, his status is still there, and there is an iron certificate of the alchemy at home.

Luo Wenzhong went out, turned around, and came back. Xu Pengju just got the file, and when he saw Luo Wenzhong came back in a hurry, he smiled and said, "Prefect Luo, it's a bit fast, do you want me to introduce you to an old doctor?"

Luo Wenzhong smiled awkwardly.

"Huh? A patrolling censor died yesterday?"

coming!

Luo Wen gave a loyal shout, and threw out the prepared remarks: "From the law of Dengwengu's crimes, it is still impossible to involve seventh-rank officials, let alone Ke Dao censors. This should be someone fishing in troubled waters. I have written a letter to The Ministry of Punishment, let the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Oh? Are the people from the Ministry of Punishment here?"

"Should be on the way..."

"That means you haven't come here yet, Governor Luo, you are wrong. Even if the case is handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but it happened in the boundary of Yingtian Mansion, it must be investigated, right? That master, you arrange two yamen servants, and I will let my family The guards help together and invite Chen Tao's family members. No matter how you say it, this is the censor, so we need to investigate!"

Luo Wenzhong was sweating profusely, unable to stop him, Xu Pengju went directly to the hall!
The Xu family doesn't have much else, there are many family members, and there are three catties of nails on the rotten ship. As the number one honorable man in the Ming Dynasty, the Xu family still has a lot of influence in the army, and the family members are also quite capable, directly replacing the government officials. Live, shouting mighty, raised the hall, and let the people enter the house to watch...

"How good is this!"

Luo Wenzhong was a little anxious, and the master didn't know how to break the situation. At this time, a scribe came in, explained his identity as an aide, and whispered a few words to Luo Wenzhong. Luo Wenzhong was overjoyed immediately.

"Hahaha, let's go, let's get promoted, and see how our Duke Wei breaks the situation!"

Not only did Xu Pengju want to try Chen Tao's case, but he also had people beat gongs and drums outside the yamen, saying that it was to settle the grievances of Dengwen's drum, and everyone in Yingtian Mansion could come to redress their grievances, and the yamen would accept them all.

The common people didn't believe it, they just watched the excitement, and no one was the one who stood out.

Xu Pengju was not in a hurry, he was waiting for the trial of Chen Tao's case, but there was no time for a cup of tea, and someone really came to complain, and it was a group of people from Wuyang Wuyang.

Seeing these people, Xu Pengju knew what was going on.

Then let the servants bring people to the hall.

But I didn't expect that nearly a hundred people were all suing Duke Huai. Some people cried that King Huai took his family's land, some cried that King Huai forced his family to death by lending money, and some cried that King Huai took his wife forcibly...

in the hall.

Zhang Zhixiang was a little puzzled, and asked: "These people are suing Duke Huai, can this person commit a heinous crime?"

Regarding this, Xu Pengju smiled disdainfully, and said: "On the contrary, the current King Huai's name is Zhu Youzhen, so he inherited his brother's position as a bastard, and he has been an honest child since he was a child."

"His elder brother, Zhu Youfu, was a slut. His body was broken in his early years, so he died young."

"Zhu Youchen only succeeded to the throne four years after his Jiajing reign. The things these people sued were probably done by Zhu Youchen. There is nothing they can do about it."

"The kings of Ming Dynasty are all in the north, and south of the Yangtze River, only Jiangxi has three kings."

"King Ning has been killed, and only King Huai and King Yi are left."

"But Yi Wang Zhu Youbin is really slanderous. When he was granted the title, in order to save the court's expenses, he didn't even build a new palace. He lived in the original Jingxian King Zhu Zhanjie's mansion."

"Zhu Youbin is diligent and frugal every day. He only eats vegetarian food. He never buys new clothes. His clothes are all white from the washing. It is best to read and read history on weekdays. The people who make friends are all literati, and they have a very good reputation."

"It's really impossible to tell."

"So when you choose to choose, you must have enough weight, you must be a prince, you must have no real power, and you must not be too outrageous. Things in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be brought to the Central Plains."

"In the end, we can only choose Huai Prince Zhu Youzhen."

Zhang Zhixiang originally thought that they would find some real things to provoke, but he didn't expect that even the case was slanderous. What's more ridiculous, isn't King Huai in Rao Prefecture?These plaintiffs flew to Yingtian Mansion overnight?

"Is this too fake?"

"The person may be a fake, but the case should be true. Zhu Youchen's crimes will implicate Zhu Youchen."

"We have to find out."

"It is necessary to investigate, but it is definitely not easy to investigate. If my guess is correct, the Criminal Department should have already dispatched, and Duke Huai will be escorted to Yingtian Mansion in a few days. For the sake of punishing your descendants for being unworthy, first crucify Duke Huai's case, and then attack Lord Long Live."

"What should we do now?"

"Investigate the case, investigate together, investigate the case of Chen Tao, the censor of the patrol city, and the case of Huai Wang Zhu Youzhen. We will investigate the case and muddy the water so that we can handle things better."

(PS: Zhu Youzhen is a good prince. Historically, he married his daughter to the son of a small official in the palace, and he also agreed to his daughter's request, went to ennoble the country, and served his parents-in-law as an ordinary woman.)
