Chapter 529 Cao Gang's Opinion

Xiao Mo didn't think deeply about whether Liu Yuzhi was paving the way for his future career as Xiao Mo thought, and he didn't have time to think about it now.

The arrival of Liu Yuzhi also caused a certain degree of deterrence to the chaotic situation in Zhejiang. After all, Liu Yuzhi came under the order of the imperial court, and he is an imperial envoy, so he has the right to decide to kill!

In order to prove that the scene where Wanmin presented Zeng and Lu's criminal evidence was not fake, Liu Yuzhi also sent the lawsuits that his subordinates had sorted out together with the memorial to the capital.

Anyway, Liu Yuzhi's subordinates still have the originals of these lawsuits, and this move made Xiao Mo and Zhou Ji very much agree.

It is to let Ji Ping and the officials in the court feel the humiliation suffered by the people, and to infinitely magnify the criminal evidence of Zeng Quan and Lu Qiu, so that Ji Ping and the others can be even more shocked.

Originally, these criminal evidences were enough to condemn Zeng Quan and Lu Qiu to the nine clans. Imagine that after these memorials came to the court, Ji Ping and the other veterans would have nothing to say!
Zhang Xu and Xu Zhiqian didn't return to the government office until the next day, and the scene of Wan Min's statement of Zeng Quan and Lu Qiu's evil deeds began in front of the door of the government office early in the morning.

Zhang Xu and Xu Zhiqian were taken aback by such a scene. Later, they heard that the yamen servant said that it was ordered by the imperial envoy to let the people write all the evil deeds of Zeng Quan and Lu Qiu into lawsuits.

"Where is the imperial envoy?" Zhang Xu and Xu Zhiqian are undoubtedly the most concerned about this question, because they have been busy for two days and two nights without sleep after they were ordered to thoroughly investigate Zeng Quan and Lu Qiu's party members, and now they just happened to report the case. Report the progress to the imperial envoy.

Liu Yuzhi met Zhang Xu and Xu Zhiqian in the government office. In terms of qualifications, both Zhang Xu and Xu Zhiqian had higher qualifications than Liu Yuzhi. Feather's attack.

But Wu Wang Zhouji sat on the main seat with a blank expression.

As for Xiao Mo, he went to Lingyin Temple early in the morning with his family and the name of Xiu and Qian Jiwen.

After listening to Zhang Xu and Xu Zhiqian's report, Liu Yuzhi said: "Master Zhang and Master Xu are saying that the officials involved in the case of Zeng Quan and Lu Qiu in Zhejiang Province are involved in a wide range of cases, so the trial will take a long time? "

Xu Zhiqian took a look at Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu is the government office, two levels higher than Xu Zhiqian, so naturally Zhang Xu came to talk to him, Zhang Xu replied: "That's right, Master Liu, the officials and the prefect Xu have already brought back some of the people involved in the case." The yamen is now in prison, and everything is left to be decided by the imperial envoy!"

Liu Yuzhi pondered for a while. The scope of the case involved is very large, and there are many people involved in the case, so it is not easy to handle.

Because both Zeng Quan and Lu Qiu were ministers, officials of the fourth rank of the imperial court.If the time limit for hearing the case is too long, the two of them cannot be dealt with while the situation is urgent. Once the matter fades away, it may be more difficult to betray them and execute them.

After all, An Chao has not killed the third rank of the court or the forefront of officials above the third rank!Although Zeng Quan and Lu Qiu were only fourth-rank officials of the imperial court, they were the chief executives of the local government after all, and the boundaries between fourth-rank officials and third-rank officials were blurred.

Most importantly, the relationship between Zeng Quan and Ji Ping has always been somewhat unclear, and Ji Ping's attitude is also somewhat vague, making it unpredictable.

This forced Liu Yuzhi to settle the case as soon as possible, so Liu Yuzhi turned his attention to Zhou Ji.

Naturally, Zhou Ji would not express any opinions. Although he was the king of Wu, since the imperial court sent an imperial envoy this time, it also showed the court's attitude and hoped that Zhou Ji would not interfere in this matter.

But Zhou Ji's attitude was very obvious, obviously he was very angry, and he also firmly stood by Xiao Mo's side.

Thinking of Xiao Mo, Liu Yuzhi began to think about it, he said: "This matter needs to be investigated by Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xu. All officials involved in the case, no matter how big or small, will be put in prison pending trial. As for when the judge will return to the prince Lord Xiao wrote a memorial and went to the capital."

Still waiting, at least until the imperial court's instructions, Liu Yuzhi thought of a way not to offend.

The memorial was sent back to the capital by a fast horse, of course...the fast horse here refers to the messenger, hurry up, the memorial arrived in the capital on May [-]th.

The memorial was written by the imperial envoy, so it was naturally submitted directly to the imperial study. After Zhao Ziji received the memorial, he asked Ji Ping and Cao Gang to be called to the imperial study.

The pile of lawsuits first entered the eyes of Ji Ping and Cao Gang. Zhao Ziji's face was ugly, but he still tried his best to keep himself in a normal state in front of Ji Ping and Cao Gang, and calmly said to Ji Ping: "Wu Wang Zhouji, Xiao Mo and Liu Yuzhi, the imperial envoy, jointly signed a petition to request Zeng Quan and Lu Qiu to be severely punished, what do you two lovers think?"

Ji Ping hesitated for a while, but Cao Gang didn't say anything.

Zhao Ziji handed over the memorial to Ji Ping. Ji Ping opened the memorial and read the crimes committed by Zeng Quan and Lu Qiu, right down to the three big characters of "cutting and judging" at the end!
Ji Ping closed the memorial and asked Zhao Ziji, "Your Highness, Wan Min's statement, are you referring to the official case?"

Zhao Ziji nodded, and then said: "That's right, after a preliminary investigation, there are tens of thousands of people in Zhejiang alone who were bullied by Zeng Quan and Lu Qiu, and among them, hundreds of people are because they offended Zeng Quan's son, Zeng Qi. And this Zeng Qiu built a private house in the outskirts of Hangzhou in order to satisfy his whispers. The private house is divided into three courtyards, the last courtyard is for Zeng Qiu to have fun, and the inside is desolate because those women were abused by Zeng Qiu in every possible way. Afterwards, they were killed by cruel means and thrown into the backyard. Most of these women were from good families, and Zeng Qi snatched them from their husbands by force!... In short, the crimes committed by the Zeng family, father and son and Lu Qiu, It's hard to write a letter!"

In the end, Zhao Ziji's tone had to be a little more serious, which also made Ji Ping have some words stuck in his throat.

Originally, the crimes of Zeng Qiu and Lu Qiu were too shocking, how could Ji Ping have the face to speak up for Zeng Quan now?
Seeing that Ji Ping was silent, Zhao Ziji turned to Cao Gang and asked, "Master Cao, what do you think Gu should do?"

Cao Gang said: "According to the old minister's opinion, he should be severely punished..."

The answer was a little vague, and Cao Gang didn't say clearly how severe the punishment would be, and that's what he meant when he said it.

Cao Gang had something else to say later, which was actually for Ji Ping: "This move is unreasonable. Your Highness and Mr. Ji just think about it. If these two people are not severely punished, officials on other state capitals will follow the example of Zeng Quan and Mr. Ji. The appearance of Lu Qiu and the others, if that happens, won't the world be in chaos?"
