Chapter 231 I'm Not Targeting You
This was not over yet, Zhu Ji waved his hand, and immediately a school captain stepped forward.

"This is compiled by the prefect of Jining. In the past ten years, all the pleadings and testimonies against Yansheng Gong's mansion, as well as the memorials of the prefect of Jining, the emperor..."

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "I only watch the trial and don't express my opinion, you continue!"

Zhu Ji winked at his subordinate lieutenant, and took all the things to the front of the hall.

The three bosses looked at each other and were stunned for a long time. Yu Shiyue first picked up the memorial of the Jining Mansion, glanced at it briefly, and handed it to Xue and Yang.

After a while, Yu Shiyue's face was ashen, and Xue and Yang were also frowning, not knowing what to do.

These days, they have been thinking of various ways to help Yansheng make his crime public, but they did not expect that Jin Yiwei directly copied him.

What is this called, dredging from the bottom of the pot?

Yanshenggong Mansion, if you say copy it, copy it!

Moreover, so much money was stolen...

If the gold is converted into silver, it will be more than 3000 million taels!
How to explain it?
If the money is accumulated by Yan Shenggong from generation to generation, then since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has only been a mere hundred years. Calligraphy and painting, etc...

Also explain the fart!
Yu Shiyue felt bitter in her heart, but she couldn't say...

The Kong family is too greedy. Wang Zhen, who had all the power in the government and the public, was nothing more than that, right?
However, in the current situation, he has already been riding a tiger, and there is only one way to go to the dark!

Snapped!
Yu Shiyue made up her mind, slapped the gavel, and said in a deep voice, "Who is under the hall?"

Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yanjin hurriedly replied: "It belongs to the old man..."

"I didn't ask you!"

Yu Shiyue suddenly put on a serious face, and shouted: "Come here, please step aside, Mr. Yan Sheng, and don't disturb my trial!"

Two guards stepped forward and pulled Kong Yanjin aside.

Kong Yanjin was about to argue, when a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, could it be... Sanfa is planning to keep himself out of the matter?

In the current situation, Jin Yiwei has been stolen and stolen, and it is useless to say anything, but there is another way, abandon the car and save the handsome!

What if everything has nothing to do with yourself?

Kong Chengqing, Kong Chengping, Cai Jinkui...

If they plead guilty, they can pretend that they don't know anything, even if they lose everything, but there is hope that the word Yan Shenggong can be kept.

As long as the title is still there, everything can come back!

The money is gone, and you can earn it again. In this world, there are many people rushing to give money to Duke Yansheng.

The son is gone, he can be born again, although he is a bit older, but... he is always strong!
Yu Shiyue asked again: "Who is in the hall?"

Kong Chengqing raised his blood-stained face and said weakly: "Qufu...Yanshenggong Mansion, Kong...Kong Chengqing..."

"I want to ask you, are these charges against Yanshenggong's mansion true?"

"no no……"

"Bold!"

Yu Shiyue slapped the gavel again, and shouted: "Jining Mansion wrote the memorandum, stating various crimes of Yanshenggong Mansion. Do you mean that Jining Mansion has wronged you? If it hadn't been for all these years of evildoing and oppressing the people, the gold and silver fields copied by the mansion How to explain?"

Kong Chengqing looked blankly at Kong Yanjin who was beside him.

Yu Shiyue noticed it, and immediately said: "What does the officer ask you, you have to tell the truth, no one can protect you today!"

"But, I..."

"If you dare to quibble again, you will be punished with great punishment!"

Kong Chengqing's eyes were full of fear, and he hurriedly said, "I said, all, all... true..."

"Is that a confession?"

"Confess... plead guilty!"

"Since I have pleaded guilty, I will wait aside for now. The next one will bring Kong Taiping to court!"

Immediately afterwards, Kong Chengping was brought to court, and the process was similar to the trial of Kong Chengqing, with a few words in a hurry to confirm the charges.

Then Cai Jinkui charged An with treason.

It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, because the evidence is too much.

In the past, the Kong family almost had the final say on the three-acre land in Qufu. Even if the sky fell, as long as the Kong family said a word, it would not matter.

But it's different now, the Kong family is gone...

Although they were convicted, they all intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yanjin.

Yu Shiyue nodded at Xue and Yang, and then said: "My official announces that Kong Chengqing forcibly occupied the land of the common people, raped women, disregarded human lives, and punished him for several crimes. The law dismissed the official position, demoted to the common people, and could not be used for life! The commander of Jinan Wei, Cai Jinkui, intended to rebel. Serious negligence, joint responsibility, ransacking the house according to the law, and turning over all family property to the state treasury!"

After listening to the crowd, the onlookers applauded one after another.

Some scholars secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Such a punishment seems to be impartial and canonical, but in fact, it excludes Yan Shenggong.

It only said that the family property was fined, but it did not deprive Yan Shenggong of his title.

As long as these three words are still there, everything can make a comeback!

Among the jury, Zhu Qizhen remained calm.

The other ministers are you looking at me, I look at you, whispering in low voices, and no one speaks out publicly.

Yu Shiyue slapped the gavel again: "Retreat!"

"Wait!"

Zhu Ji took a step forward and asked, "Master Yu, is this the end?"

Yu Shiyue said coldly, "What's the matter with Zhu Qian?"

Zhu Ji said: "Speaking of which, the chief culprit, Duke Yan Sheng, is actually the least guilty?"

"This official has just said that Yan Shenggong was seriously negligent, and he was jointly and severally responsible. He ransacked his house according to the law, and all his property was turned over to the state treasury. Isn't that enough?"

Zhu Ji shook his head, and said: "All the charges are not directly related to Yan Shenggong. Such a result may be difficult to convince the public."

"I always pay attention to evidence when I judge cases. If Zhu Qianshi believes that these cases were all done by Yan Shenggong, please show the evidence!"

Yan Shenggong is the last straw for scholars all over the world, so Yu Shiyue will naturally do his best to excuse him.

Zhu Ji frowned, knowing that Yan Shenggong was the mastermind, but it was really difficult to produce direct evidence.

No one can prove that all the bad things were done by Kong Yanjin.

Although Kong Chengqing and the others knew that their fate was not long, they would not identify Kong Yanjin as the mastermind on the spot.

Because they knew very well in their hearts that if Kong Yanjin fell, then everything would be over.

As long as Kong Yanjin is kept, the Kong family will still exist, and scholars all over the world will still support the Kong family, and their descendants can still be admired.

Even if it was Cai Jinkui who was betrayed by the three clans, he knew that Kong Yanjin would definitely find a way to keep his bloodline.

Zhu Ji was annoyed. The evidence he got from Qufu was just like that.

The protection of officials and officials has reached such a blatant situation, but there is nothing I can do!
He looked at the jury, and the emperor remained silent, as if he really didn't intend to intervene at all.

Yu Shiyue said: "I would like to advise you, this is the joint trial of the three divisions. I have already seen the evidence provided by Jin Yiwei. As for how to try the case, there is no need for Jin Yiwei to intervene!"

"well said!"

A voice came from the periphery of the crowd.

Yu Shiyue's heart trembled, and she looked in the direction of the person speaking.

Among the crowd, a path was made, and Yuan Bin slowly walked forward.

"Master Yu's trial is really wonderful!"

Yu Shiyue looked at the person in front of him, frowning tightly. Of course he knew that those who came were not kind, and those who were kind would not come.

"I just said that this is a joint trial of the three divisions. If Jin Yiwei provides evidence, he can bring it up. Otherwise, please stand aside and watch the trial!"

Yuan Bin smiled and said, "I'm here because I do have evidence to provide."

Yu Shiyue looked at Yuan Bin coldly, since his face had been torn apart, there was nothing to worry about.

"Then present it!"

Yuan Bin said: "Bring it up!"

Behind him, two school captains escorted a disheveled man forward and pressed him on the ground.

Yu Shiyue asked with a cold face, "Who is in the hall?"

"father……"

Yu Shiyue trembled all over, as if being shocked by electricity.

"You...you are... Tao'er?"

This person is Yu Shiyue's only son, Yu Wentao.

Before the trial, Yu Shiyue made a special trip home to explain things to her son.

But he didn't expect that his son was arrested while the case was being tried on his side!
"Yuan Bin!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he said angrily, "What are you trying to do? Why are you arresting my son?"

Yuan Bin said calmly, "Don't get me wrong, today is not against you!"

As he spoke, he looked at Xue and Yang.

"Jin Yiwei is ordered to conduct a thorough investigation of the Three Law Departments. All the officials involved and their family members will be arrested and brought to justice!"

"What... what?"

This time, everyone is not calm.

Xue Xuan stood up abruptly, and asked, "Jin Yiwei thoroughly investigated the Three Jurisdictions, why didn't I know about it beforehand?"

Yuan Bin said: "The emperor said that the Sanju Department represents the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty. If the person in charge of the criminal law has problems, how can he judge the case fairly? These days, Jin Yiwei has indeed found out many problems through unannounced visits. For example, Yu My lord, this son, robbed the oiran in the brothel last year, got jealous and beat him to death, lord Yu, you know about this, right?"

Yu Shiyue blushed and said, "No... I don't know..."

"is it?"

Yuan Bin smiled faintly and waved, "Bring witnesses!"

Then, one person was escorted in.

As soon as Yu Shiyue saw this person, his expression turned pale.

The man, on the other hand, knelt down in front of the hall with a distraught look.

Yuan Bin shouted, "Who are you?"

"Grassman... Zhang Quan."

"Zhang Quan, what is your identity?"

Zhang Quan panicked and said: "It's... the slaves of the Yu family, most of them follow the young master..."

"Your young master is Yu Wentao?"

"Yes Yes……"

"Last year, Yu Wentao and others fought jealously in the brothel, and they had a big fight. Are you there?"

"Yes, yes!"

How dare Zhang Quan hide it, and said truthfully: "At that time... I went to Xinghualou with the young master, and the young master fell in love with the oiran Lianrou girl, but there was a poor scholar who insisted on competing with my young master, and then, then... "

"Then what?"

"In desperation, the young master picked up the jug and threw it at it. Coincidentally, he hit the scholar on the head. As a result, the scholar lost his footing and fell from the third floor, falling to his death..."

"Has his family sued the government?"

"Sue... sue..."

"How is the result?"

"After suing the officials over there, someone from Shuntian Mansion immediately notified the young master, and the young master asked me to... deal with it..."

"How did you deal with it?"

Zhang Quan took a peek at Yu Shiyue and said, "Here's the master's name card, and I gave you a generous gift."

"What gift?"

"It's just a calligraphy and painting of a master."

"Ha ha……"

Yuan Bin sneered: "So, Mr. Yu's calligraphy and paintings are very valuable?"

"It's not that the master's calligraphy and paintings are valuable...it's because...the people in Shuntian Mansion have always admired the master."

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as admiration, what will happen next?"

"Afterwards, Shuntian Mansion said that the man had drunk too much and fell to his death. His family refused to accept it and insisted on suing him. As a result, he was hit by Shuntian Mansion's board and was beaten bedridden. This matter is considered settled. "

Yu Shiyue couldn't bear it any longer, and said angrily: "Zhang Quan, you are a foodie, when did Tao'er kill someone? It's clearly a false accusation, what exactly is your plan?"

Yuan Bin said with a half-smile, "Zhang Quan, your master said you made a false accusation, how do you explain it?"

Zhang Quan hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No... dare not, the villain has been a slave of the Yu family for generations, and never dare to... make a false accusation! The villain... the villain has a way to prove it!"

"How to prove it?"

Zhang Quan said: "At that time, the person in charge of this case was Pan Chang, a principal of Shuntian Mansion. Later, this person entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Yuan Bin immediately said: "Okay, come here, bring Pan Chang!"

Yu Shiyue's heart tightened, Pan Chang had already been taken!
Pan Chang was escorted in in embarrassment. When he saw Yuan Bin, he kowtowed, "Please forgive me!"

"Pan Chang, you are outside, have you heard everything?"

"Listen... I heard it."

Yuan Bin sneered: "Is it true?"

Pan Chang's face was ashen, and he said with a mournful face: "At that time... the criminal officer was acting as the agent of the case... The Yu family came to intervene, and the criminal officer did not dare to provoke the Yu family..."

Yuan Bin asked: "Master Yu, what do you say?"

Yu Shiyue slumped on the chair, panting heavily, and said, "I...don't know..."

He was going to learn from Yan Shenggong and choose himself first.

With his own status, even if his son goes to jail, he still has a way to clear things up.

At least make sure that you will not suffer in prison, and then find a reason to release early when the time is right.

These operations are nothing to the dignified minister of punishment.

Yuan Bin sneered and said, "Okay, come here, and bring some witnesses who witnessed it at that time!"

After a while, several more people were brought in and questioned one by one.

The case gradually became clear, and almost all the criminal evidence pointed to Yu Wentao.

Yuan Bin's expression was cold, and he said slowly: "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, what is the crime of murder?"

With a pale face, Yu Wentao said in a mournful voice: "I didn't do it on purpose, I just...missed, please...please..."

Yuan Bin continued to calmly say: "And bribe the officials of Shuntian Mansion, what crime is it?"

Yu Wentao said: "I...I..."

Yuan Bin looked at Yu Shiyue and said, "Master Yu first, and then bribe officials, Master Yu, how should this case be judged?"
