After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 124 Struggling
Qian Shiben was left in the garrison to be guarded by the imperial guards. He didn't know what happened, so when he was brought up, he saw two Du Zhengen at first sight. Du Jing stood aside.

This look can be described as complicated, like asking for help but also worried, grateful and doubtful.

But Du Jing just raised his eyes and glanced at her briefly, then immediately withdrew his eyes and lowered them again.

"Mr. Qian, can you tell which of them is real?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Qian took another look at the two people with similar descriptions in front of her, and then timidly turned her gaze to Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai was looking at her peacefully, without any aggression around her, but Qian didn't dare to look her in the eyes, she lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience.

"Go back to Your Majesty, even the women... can't recognize her." She said in the end, her voice was inaudible.

"Then let me ask you again, did you know that there are people in this world who are so similar to Du Zhengen's description?"

Qian Shi shook her head again and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the women don't know."

Ye Qinghuai nodded, and said to the crowd: "Since Du Jing and Qian Shi can't tell each other apart, let them have a look when Shen Yuanzheng and the others arrive."

Not long after she finished speaking, the people sent by Li Baoquan and Du Jing came back with them.

Shen Yuanzheng of the Supreme Hospital and the coordinator of Jingzhao Mansion did an inspection for a while, and they came to the same conclusion.

"Although the old minister has never seen a wound from being bitten by someone, but," the nearly seventy-year-old Shen Yuan pointed to the right ear canal of the death row prisoner, "according to what the old minister saw, the wound on this person's ear should have been three or four days ago. Now it looks like a scab has just fallen off."

The observation angle of Wu Zuo is quite different.

"Your Majesty, my lords, please take a look." He spread Du Zhengen's right palm supported by the right yamen guard, and said, "There are calluses on this man's palm and on the tiger's mouth, this is the characteristic of warriors who use swords and guns all the year round. "

After finishing speaking, he walked up to the death row prisoner, spread his hands, and said, "This man's callus is only on the tip of his left finger, which is not where he holds a weapon. The lower official guessed that this man's identity should be It’s a luthier who plays the huqin or guqin.”

After he finished speaking, the condemned prisoner subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at him.

The testimonies of the two pointed to the conclusion that Du Zhengen was switched.

Ye Qinghuai did not speak, but looked sideways at Du Jing, as if waiting for him to speak.

He still bowed his head, like a student who has done something wrong, staring straight at the ground in front of him.

"Du Jing, why are you so confused?" In the silence, Gu Shihai, who was sitting next to Ye Qinghuai, was the first to attack. I don't know, how did you control it?"

As soon as he made a sound, Du Jing immediately knelt down and said sadly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ge, it was an official who was negligent and almost made a big mistake. I beg Your Majesty to punish you!"

After speaking, he slammed his head heavily on the ground.

"Old Gu Ge meant that Du Jing didn't know about Du Zhengen's transfer?"

Gu Shihai got down from his seat, stood beside Du Jing who was kneeling, and said to Ye Qinghuai: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, and there are quite a few people below who secretly speculate and make up their own opinions in order to cater to Shang's wishes. I'm afraid It was the officials of the Ministry of Punishment who saw that the person being punished was Du Jing’s nephew, so they secretly changed the person.”

Ye Qinghuai sneered, and said: "Mr. Gu Ge also said that it is to cater to Shangyi. If the above does not have such a meaning, how can the people below flatter you? What's more," Ye Qinghuai looked at Qian, "You He also overheard the conversation between Du Jing and Qian Shi, how will Mr. Gu Ge explain this?"

Facing Ye Qinghuai's questioning, Gu Shihai was not timid, he replied: "I remember Du Jing's answer, it was a lie to deceive Qian, it was just a mistake."

"Hehe," Ye Qinghuai looked at Gu Shihai, laughed dryly, and asked, "Gu Ge, do you still remember how old I am this year?"

She suddenly asked such a question, which made Gu Shihai stunned for a moment, and did not answer.

Ye Qinghuai's eyes suddenly widened with anger, and she glared at him and said, "I'm seventeen this year, not seven! Gu Ge always answers me with such far-fetched and full of loopholes, does he think I'm still a babbling child? Elder Gu Ge, I am already in charge."

She spoke the last few words slowly and in a low voice, each word hitting Gu Shihai's heart.

"The mill in Xiaodian Village where Du Zhengen is hiding is the property of the Du family. The guards protecting Du Zhengen are led by Du Jing's attendants. Do you still want to say that Du Jing didn't know about this?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Hearing Ye Qinghuai's words, Du Jing couldn't help raising his head to look at her, his eyes were full of puzzlement and awe.

"Your Majesty... Where did Your Majesty hear about this?" Du Jing murmured.

"I have my own eyes. Du Jing, do you think that after staying in the palace for a long time, I have become blind and deaf, so I can do as you please?" Zhuang, Du Jing, as Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, if you don't have the slightest reverence for the law, can I still have the laws of the king and the laws of heaven?"

There was a dead silence on the execution stage, but the crowd around the execution ground started whispering instead.

The power struggle in the Dajing Dynasty has a long history. Every dynasty has no shortage of upstarts and fallen important ministers. However, these things are rarely known to the public. The change of power is often just a result in the form of an imperial edict. That's all.

Because doing so will reduce the majesty of the royal family and dignitaries in the hearts of the people, and on the other hand, it will also make things absolutely impossible, no matter how difficult it is to change things.

But for ordinary people, seeing the emperors and dignitaries at the pinnacle of power stage such a big show in front of their eyes, this is much more exciting than any other drama.

When Ye Qinghuai said this in front of so many people, it was obvious that she didn't want to leave any room for Du Jing, but she didn't mention Gu Shihai in her words, because she didn't plan to involve Gu Shihai in this matter. .

The people on this stage are all old people who have been immersed in officialdom for many years. Who can't understand what the emperor means?
It's just that the Ministry of Punishment is too important to Gu Shihai, and the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment needs a person who can be trusted in terms of relationship and ability, so Gu Shihai doesn't want to give up on Du Jing easily.

However, Ye Qinghuai announced before he could speak: "As a minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Du Jing knew the law and violated the law. He abolished the government for private purposes. He really owed the emperor's favor. I was greatly disappointed. I will immediately be demoted to a commoner and will never be hired."

Amidst the surprised eyes of the crowd, Ye Qinghuai looked at Gu Shihai again, and said, "Ministry of Criminal Justice is under the leadership of Mr. Gu Ge, and Du Jing and Du Zhengen are in custody pending trial. Mr. Gu Ge, the Ministry of Punishment is full of chaos now, you should take care of yourself." Get it right, don't let me down again."
