Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 267 National Enemies and Family Hate, Unforgivable Sins!
Just as Feng Yibo thought, Da Wei is too short of money now.

Therefore, Emperor Jingshun chose to move the Zhen family at this time.

Obviously not for questioning!
He wanted to replenish some energy to the bottomed-out treasury by ransacking his home.

Only in this way can we solve the matter of being stuck on the neck by Wang Ziteng with side pay!

Otherwise, it should be accepted by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and supervised by Lantai Temple according to the normal process.

After investigation and evidence collection, it will be implemented according to the law of Dawei.

Instead of letting the Dragon Scale Guard do it directly.

Now, Long Linwei ransacked the house first before escorting Zhen's family back to Beijing for conviction.

Doing so has actually violated procedural justice.

This has always been the most disgusting way for courtiers.

It stands to reason that both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty should oppose it.

The old party has become a thing of the past, so there is no need to mention it.

The New Party also selectively turned a blind eye to Zhang Songyue's leadership.

This is because the cabinet did this to Emperor Jingshun.

Already knew it well.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Songyue is also the leader of the new party.

This matter naturally passed his approval.

In addition, there are several relatives in the Zhen family, and Tong Xungui is the first class.

Naturally, the New Party will not have any objections to this.

They were all obedient and chose to remain silent on this matter.

Not to mention the newly promoted nobles, they are all sharpening their knives.

They are all waiting for the best time, ready to make up the knife at any time.

The founder of the country, who should speak out the most, is afraid of being noticed by Emperor Jingshun.

The dormant strategy has already been chosen.

What's more, strictly speaking, the Zhen family is indeed not in the founding lineage.

It's just that he has relatives with many founding nobles.

Such as Jia Mansion and Beijing Palace.

But Emperor Jingshun personally intervened in this matter, and after several discussions with the founding lineage, he finally chose to wait and see.

Even though Princess Beijing was born in the Zhen family, the King of Beijing County did not want to disobey Emperor Jingshun because of this.

If the situation is good, it is still possible for them to come forward to help.

If the situation is not right, then you can only choose to sit idly by and focus on self-protection.

It's a pity that Jia Zheng came forward.

Before they had time to agree, they were diverted by Lin Ruhai's new evidence.

For a while, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty just looked at each other, but no one spoke out to help.

Although Jia Zheng came forward to intercede for the Zhen family, he only followed his own position.

What was said was not too deep.

It's nothing more than the "benevolence and filial piety" set, using the old concubine to impress Emperor Jingshun.

But such an approach inevitably floats on the surface.

To be honest, even if Lin Ruhai failed to divert his gaze,

Feng Yibo had already prepared for this,

It's a pity that those long speeches are useless at all.

For a while, Jia Zheng was in a dilemma standing in front of Majesty Dan.

It is not good for him to continue begging, and it is not good to return to the court.

He could only stand there in embarrassment, waiting for Emperor Jingshun to read the evidence.

"When the Japanese pirates attacked Nanjing, they were the ones who went to the Zhen family to sell their stolen goods, and they were forced to land early because of the typhoon?"

Emperor Jingshun flipped through the testimony and frowned slightly.

Unexpectedly, the more I watched, the more frightened I became.

"The tens of thousands of Japanese pirates that Feng Yuan exterminated were also involved with the Zhen family, and the Japanese clans were also involved?"

Seeing the end, he couldn't help but slap the imperial case in front of him!

There was a "snap"!Jia Zheng was startled immediately.

"The Japanese pirates can be so rampant because of the Zhen family as the internal support and the channel to sell the stolen goods!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Jingshun rarely showed an angry face, and said in a deep voice:

"If these are true, then the Zhen family will be to blame for their deaths!"

Seeing that Emperor Jingshun was angry, Lin Ruhai was afraid of missing the opportunity, so he hurriedly stepped forward to make up for it:

"My lord, these witnesses were originally from the Zhen family. When the king of Donghai County exterminated the Japanese pirates, he took them as prisoners of the Japanese."

It turned out that this was Feng Yibo's trump card!

As early as a few years ago, Liuqiu captured many fleets of the Zhen family.

The goods on board were naturally withheld and became the private property of the Black Dragon Mansion.

The people on board were not killed because of Liuqiu's lack of population.

They were first sent to Liuqiu Basin to open up wasteland, and then sent to various places to log.

Until the last time when Lin Ruhai mentioned the Zhen family embezzlement of salt, Feng Yibo thought of these people.

Immediately, he asked people to gather the few Zhen family members who were still alive.

Until today, it finally came in handy.

"At the beginning, Donghai County didn't know their identities, and only regarded them as Han Chinese who were thieves, and punished them to log in the mountains."

Of course Donghai County knew the identities of these people, and even went to Zhen's house at that time.

Feng Yibo couldn't shake the Zhen family in Wei, but he could prevent the Zhen family from entering the sea at sea!

These members of the Zhen family were reformed through labor in Donghai County for two years.

All of them have been tortured so much that their bones are broken.

Most of them died of illness or exhaustion.

There were even those who were devoured by wild beasts and sacrificed by the aborigines.

The rest are fateful.

However, the edges and corners were worn away, and the gallbladder was frightened.

As soon as he heard that he had the opportunity to return to Dawei, he would naturally do anything.

In their opinion, even going back to Dawei and going to jail is tens of thousands of times better than being in Donghai County!
Don't just ask them to correct Zhen Yingjia, the owner of the culprit.

Even let them dig up their ancestral graves.

It is estimated that he hesitated at most, and then began to look around for a pickaxe.

Without him, it's too bad.

Except for them, the rest who can receive this treatment are Japanese pirates who have been captured one after another.

Donghai County has always been at odds with Japanese pirates, so it would be strange to give them a good face!
"This year, Donghai County accidentally learned of their identities, and immediately communicated with Feng Shilang."

Lin Ruhai did not elaborate on how to find out.

That doesn't matter anymore.

He only briefly explained the matter according to what Feng Yibo said, and then said:

"Feng Shilang didn't dare to do his own thing, so he handed them over to Lantai Temple. Only then did I know that the crimes of the Zhen family were not limited to embezzling salt profits, but also colluded with Japanese bandits to harm the village for their own selfishness!"

His tone was heavy, full of resentment towards the Zhen family.

The courtiers didn't know about the Zhen family's affairs, it was Lin Ruhai who investigated.

What's more, the Zhen family even poisoned him.

I just thought that he was disappointed with what the Zhen family did.

Emperor Jingshun knew all about this.

Before moving Zhen's family, he even talked to Lin Ruhai personally.

Here Feng Yibo heard Lin Ruhai mentioning himself, so he took advantage of the opportunity to come out.

"Report to Your Majesty, what Lord Lin said is true!"

He waited for Lin Ruhai to finish speaking, then bowed to His Majesty Dan,
First, he shouted loudly, indicating that there was something to be said, and then said:
"Since the king of Donghai County offered his soil and returned to him, he is still full of the heart of serving the country with fists and fists. Donghai County also takes the great Wei sea area as its own responsibility, and the struggle against Japanese pirates has never stopped."

Feng Yibo first clarified Donghai County's position and expressed Donghai County's loyalty to Wei.

Then he changed the subject and said:
"I don't want to, there are such people in the Wei Dynasty who are so harmful to the country and the people. The king of Donghai County was furious, but he didn't dare to be self-sufficient, so he asked someone to talk to his ministers about it."

In contrast to the two, Feng Yibo's words not only showed Donghai County's contribution to the Great Wei.

It also highlights the unforgivable crime of the Zhen family colluding with outsiders for their own selfishness.

The king of Donghai County was so angry that he didn't do anything special.

This is to say that the king of Donghai County is in awe of Wei.

And Donghai County's contact with Feng Yibo is also a business-like attitude.

After all, the duty of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites is to be in charge of overseas affairs.

"At that time, the Zhen family's misappropriation of salt rights had not yet happened, and this matter was so shocking, I couldn't believe it!"

Feng Yibo said that this happened before the Zhenjiayan case, in order to dispel the doubts of those who are interested.

To prevent people from thinking that he did it on purpose, deliberately targeting the Zhen family.

Such a statement seems to contradict what Lin Ruhai said.

But Emperor Jingshun knew it well.

Because before that, Lin Ruhai knew about the salt case, but Feng Yibo probably didn't know about it.

"I still feel that the Zhen family is the most benevolent family in the south of the Yangtze River, and Donghai County must have made a mistake! So I asked them to escort him to Beijing first, and hand them over to Lantai Temple for verification!"

Feng Yibo's words are reasonable.

He fully expressed his good entrustment to the Zhen family.

Even someone like Jia Zheng who wanted to intercede for the Zhen family.

Couldn't fault it at all.

If you insist on saying something is wrong, it is because you didn't communicate with these old relatives.

But Feng Yibo said again, he didn't believe it in the first place, so why bother?

"The original intention of the minister is to find out the truth and restore the Zhen family's innocence."

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo had a heartbroken face, and said bitterly:
"I never expected that the Zhen family not only colluded with Japanese pirates, but also embezzled a huge amount of salt profits. Such an act of harming the country and the people is simply a heinous crime. If you don't punish severely to make an example of others, the people in Jiangnan will be chilled!"

These words are like "the deep responsibility of love".

In fact, it secretly carries public opinion, which is simply killing the Zhen family.

It is a pity that Emperor Jingshun's wrath has passed at this time.

He returned to his former gentle appearance.

Hearing what Weng and his son-in-law said, they only frowned slightly.

It seems that there is still some embarrassment, and said:
"What Lin and Feng's family said is very true, but what Jia Qing's family said just now is not without reason."

Speaking of this, Emperor Jingshun pondered slightly, before saying:

"This is really a dilemma..."

As he spoke, he habitually looked at Zhang Songyue and asked:

"Teacher, what do you think?"

Emperor Jingshun obviously wanted to punish the Zhen family, but he didn't want to be blamed for being "unfilial".

That's why he asked Zhang Songyue's opinion, because he wanted to use his mouth to punish the Zhen family.

As for what kind of crime, Emperor Jingshun naturally didn't care.

After all, the confiscation of the house has already been done.

No matter how serious the crime is, it is nothing more than asking and beheading a few principal offenders.

Unexpectedly, before Zhang Songyue could speak.

Feng Yibo bowed again, and continued:
"Report to Your Majesty, the unfinished matter of the national funeral that Mr. Jia said, I think it makes sense."

Originally, he thought that his preparations would be useless.

No, it's up to now.

The Zhen family's crimes are numerous, and the evidence is overwhelming.

Emperor Jingshun still had some scruples about "benevolence and filial piety".

If it were Zhang Songyue and Xi Ni, I'm afraid they could only behead the main culprit.

So, how can it be regarded as revenge for the Lin family?
That being the case, Feng Yibo naturally doesn't have to be polite!
At the moment, he agreed first, then changed the topic and said:
"It's just that although the old concubine has never cared about the government, she is willing to do good and cares about the people. Besides, who knows that she hopes that the Great Wei will last forever?"

Since it was expected, someone would make a fuss about the old concubine.

Feng Yibo's countermeasure is to use the old concubine to refute.

The left and right old concubines are gone, you can borrow her spirit in heaven to intercede.

Why can't I just speak for her?
To Feng Yibo, colluding with Japanese pirates is an unforgivable sin.

The Zhen family has a personal feud with the Lin family.

At this moment, national hatred and family hatred all rushed to my heart.

Feng Yibo pointed to the sky with one hand, raised his arms and shouted:

"If her old man is alive in the sky, knowing the crimes of the Zhen family, she may not be able to rest in peace! Your Majesty!"

Only magic can defeat magic.

If "benevolence and filial piety" is the political correctness of Wei, then the reputation after death is a higher existence.

Who would dare to say that the late old concubine would disregard the peace of the common people and Great Wei for the sake of the family?

Even if the old concubine didn't mean it, she must have it at this time!
No one speaks ill of a dead man.

But "caring about the peace of the common people and Great Wei" is not a bad word!

"For one's own selfishness, harm the country and the people" is a bad word.

At this time, whoever refuted Feng Yibo's words.

That is to say that the old concubine is not!

It means that she wants to disregard the common people and peace of Wei for her own selfishness.

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo put on a dignified and dignified appearance, and said sonorously:
"In order to restore Wei to a bright future, and to gain the reputation of the old concubine, I feel that the Zhen family should also be treated seriously, so that I can go down to Anjiang River and comfort her old man's spirit in heaven!"

This impassioned statement completely refuted Jia Zheng's previous pleading.

Jia Zheng stood in front of Danbi and wanted to open his mouth several times.

But they all couldn't speak, and couldn't say anything to refute.

At this time, the newly promoted nobles also saw the opportunity, and finally came out to make up for it.

"What Feng Shilang said is absolutely true!"

"Yes! Such a huge disaster for the country and the people should be copied and wiped out!"

"That's right! For such an act, not killing is not enough to anger the common people!"

Seeing someone agreeing, did Lin Ruhai immediately follow up? He shouted and said:
"The pirates in the south of the Yangtze River have been suffering for a long time! Please also give justice to the victims of the people in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Feng Yibo followed suit at this time, and shouted:
"My lord, please make the decision for the people in the south of the Yangtze River who were killed by Japanese pirates!"

Seeing the cloud of followers, the reaction became more and more intense.

Emperor Jingshun raised his hand helplessly, and stopped the discussion in the hall.

Then he sighed softly, looked at Zhang Songyue, and asked:

"The Zhen family embezzled salt, the moth of the country, and even colluded with Japanese pirates to harm the common people! Both crimes are unforgivable, why not change the sentence to copy and kill the whole family, what do you think, teacher?"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he became anxious.

He quickly bowed down and shouted:
"Think twice, holy man!"

It's a pity that the newly promoted Xungui will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make up the knife,
How could they let Jia Zheng plead for the Zhen family again?

"Holy Majesty is wise!"

"The Zhen family deserved it!"

"Jiangnan Kuzhen's family has been around for a long time!"

Jia Zheng's voice was instantly buried in the shouts of the courtiers.

At this time Zhang Songyue pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly to Emperor Jingshun.

Seeing this, Emperor Jingshun raised his hand to stop the shouting, and announced:
"The Zhen family's lineage, the crime will not be forgiven! The master's family has confiscated the furniture to fill the national treasury."

Having said that, he hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Let's put adult males in prison and put them in prison! It will still be executed after the approval of Lantai Temple."

The meaning of this sentence seems to be equivalent to copying and beheading.

However, Emperor Jingshun still left two points!
