I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 80 Spend money to buy peace of mind!
soon.

Wu Yu and Zuo Sijian, the political counselors, and He Tan investigated the case of Ma Hong's land invasion.

Minghao actively cooperated and proactively provided various information.

Yang Riyan soon learned that the source of Su Liang and Tang Jie's news came from Dr. Taichang and Minghao of the drum court.

But Minghao is not afraid at all, he only cares about the truth.

……

On the sixth day of March, the three-day provincial examination officially began. The candidates entered the examination room and entered a crossroads that determined their fate.

at the same time.

The case of Ma Hong’s land invasion has also come to an end.

After investigations by Wu Yu and He Tan, it was finally determined that there were no problems in this case.

As soon as the results come out.

Xia Song, Yang Riyan, Wang Gongchen and others submitted memorials one after another to impeach Tang Jie and Su Liang.

It is said that the two took advantage of the privilege of admonishing the public to attack court officials for no reason.

If this wind rises, everyone in the court officials will be in danger.

Du Yan, Ding Du, Wang Yaochen and others spoke to Su Liang on behalf of Tang Jie, believing that this was the duty of the Taiwan admonishment officials and there was nothing excessive.

In the end, Zhao Zhen did not punish Tang Jie and Su Liang.

After Su Liang and Tang Jie read the new closed case files, they had to admit that there was indeed nothing fishy about the case.

But right now.

Dr. Taichang and Pandeng Wenguyuan Minghao suddenly reported that there was still a miscarriage of justice in the case of Ma Hong's land invasion and requested the court to investigate again.

Zhao Zhen immediately rejected Ming Hao's memorial.

Because the latter did not produce a shred of evidence and relied entirely on his own conjecture.

Ming Hao still refused to compromise and knelt directly in front of the Chui Gong Hall door.

Zhao Zhen scolded him angrily and then drove him out of the palace.

After Su Liang and Tang Jie heard this, they couldn't help but wonder why Ming Hao was so stubborn!

He couldn't produce a shred of evidence, but he was convinced that Yang Riyan was corrupt, perverting the law, and disregarding human life.

Su Liang originally thought that after Ming Hao was driven away, he would stop making trouble.

Who would have thought that at dawn the next day, Minghao would start beating the Dengwen drum again.

While banging, he shouted for the court to investigate the case of Ma Hong's land invasion again.

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
Drums roared.

It attracted many officials and people to watch, causing extremely bad effects.

Many people think Minghao is crazy.

Zhao Zhen knew that after Ming Hao beat the Dengwen drum, he became furious and asked the Imperial City Secretary to drive him away again, and directly dismissed him from his official position and asked him to go home to rest.

The next day, Minghao fell seriously ill and was bedridden.

Tang Jie and Su Liang also visited Ming Hao.

Minghao's mind was indeed a little unclear.

But after seeing the two of them, he held their hands tightly and said with tears: "You two, please...please...please ask the court to investigate again, it must be a misjudgment!"

Su Liang and Tang Jie saw that Ming Hao's spirit was indeed not normal, so they left after pretending to agree.

……

afternoon.

Yushitai, under a big locust tree.

Su Liang and Tang Jie each sat on a chair and drank tea slowly.

After the two chatted for a while, Su Liang suddenly said: "Brother Zifang, is there a possibility that the judge's intuition is right and there is still a miscarriage of justice in the case of Ma Hong's land invasion."

Tang Jie frowned slightly.

"The moment Minghao grabbed my hand, I didn't know why, but suddenly I felt that what he said was right, but there was indeed no problem with the latest closed case file!" "Could it be that Yang Riyan had predicted it? All the evidence and witnesses that Vice Minister Wu and He Sijian wanted to investigate, and he had arranged all of them in advance!"

"According to Yang Riyan's ability, it is indeed possible. But it is only a mere eighty acres of farmland. Is it worth such a big fanfare?"

"What if it's not just this case?"

"Is it possible that all cases in Kaifeng Mansion have been strictly controlled by Yang Ri? The jailers in the government office are all his cronies. He can judge any case how he wants."

"For example, in the nephew's case last year, Zhang suddenly confessed his affair with Ouyang Xueshi after having an affair with others, and also recited the song "Wang Jiangnan". This was all discovered by Yang Riyan, and he almost... The reputation of Bachelor Ouyang has been ruined!"

Su Liang boldly guessed.

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was a miscarriage of justice in this case.

Tang Jie's hair stood up when he heard this, he sat upright and said, "If that's the case, then... that would be terrible!"

If this is the case, then the entire Kaifeng Mansion is probably completely rotten, and Yang Riyan is the local emperor inside.

Su Liang murmured: "If this matter is handed over to the officials for investigation, the result will probably be the same, but what if we use private methods?"

……

The next day, evening.

After the provincial examination, the candidates started their carnival.

The Goulan tile houses, teahouses and restaurants in Bianjing City are all places where guests can be entertained.

The streets were bustling with people and it was very lively.

Due to the restructuring of the writing style, the questions in this provincial examination were simpler than those in previous years. Many candidates felt that they could be Jinshi in high school after walking out of the examination room.

Some have already begun to celebrate in advance.

And this moment.

Qingfeng Building, in the private room on the second floor.

Su Liang sat there and ordered a large table of delicious food.

Not long after, Liu Chang'er strode into the private room.

He looked at the delicious food on the table and couldn't help but smile and said: "Su Yushi, are you acting like a father-in-law? You usually send me off with a bowl of mutton soup and sesame seed cakes. How come you are upscale today?"

Su Liang stood up and said, "If it weren't for those nobles who occupied Fan Tower, I would have invited you to Fan Tower to eat and drink."

"Brother Liu, sit down quickly, brother, I need your help with something!"

After many exchanges of information, Su Liang and Liu Chang'er now have a very good relationship.

Liu Chang'er smoothed his sleeves and said: "The food is so rich, I guess things will be difficult. Let me take a few bites first, and then you can talk."

Immediately, the two started eating and drinking.

A quarter of an hour later.

Su Liang informed Liu Chang'er of the details of Ma Hong's land invasion case and asked him to mobilize his intelligence spies to investigate Yang Riyan.

Most of these private spies have friendships with subordinate officials in the government, and can easily detect some secret situations.

As the saying goes, any corrupt official who favors his own interests and bends the law must have dirty officials as his wings.

When the road from top to bottom is blocked, checking from bottom to top will often lead to different results.

After hearing this, Liu Chang'er seemed a little embarrassed.

"Yang Riyan is not an ordinary person. He has many people collecting intelligence. If he is discovered, your brother and I will not be able to survive in Bianjing City."

Hearing this, Su Liang raised his wine glass and said with a pleading look on his face: "I am willing to pay you three months' salary!"

Asking people to do things naturally requires a lot of money.

But now, Su Liang is not short of money.

Liu Chang'er looked at Su Liang and asked, "Even if there is something wrong, will it be good for you? If the investigation is fruitless, don't you feel it's a loss?"

"As long as it is good for the Song Dynasty, I just want to spend money to buy peace of mind!" Su Liang said seriously.

"Okay, because of your enthusiasm, I agree. You don't need three months' salary, one month is enough!" Liu Chang'er readily agreed.

Su Liang smiled and immediately raised his wine glass.
