Chapter 155 Justice
Chapter 155 Justice
Master Cui is very innocent today, he was also dragged by the collar by those generals, those people don't know, he and his colleagues are a thorn in the side now.
It was because Shen Zhan said that he would hand over the case to the Criminal Ministry as soon as he came back.
Therefore, most people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice had to passively stand by Shen Zhan's side. Even if they couldn't stand on the side for various reasons, they still took great pains to remain neutral.
"My lord." His regular follower said: "This Aunt Su is really not simple." A woman can silence what those people say, and make those who have read poetry and books and claim to be knowledgeable follow her. In this world, there are not many people who can do it.
"If she was a simple and stupid woman, how could she go to the capital alone? In just over a year, she can achieve so many achievements." Master Cui said, thinking of his daughter, "Since Yudie entered her After school, the Xianzhen girl is very different from before, not only has she learned more, she has become more mature and experienced in dealing with people, and she is more independent and self-reliant."
"This is a good thing." Chang Sui sighed: "Girls will always get married in the future, and it is inevitable that something goes wrong. If you have a strong personality, you will not be bullied. You and your wife can rest assured."
Master Cui nodded, but still sighed across the sedan chair, "This time the civil servants are making trouble, can you see the clues?"
"Your Excellency, you mean that you have divided into factions?" Chang Sui asked.
Master Cui nodded, "Master Liao is a shrewd man. If he didn't have a heart-to-heart pain, it would be impossible for him to stand up for others. After careful inspection, it is not difficult to find that Master Liao, Master Du, Master Zhu, and several servants of the Ministry of War, even Xu My lord, there are some unexplainable connections."
He pondered over this matter for two days, and had someone investigate it secretly, but he couldn't figure it out.
Also, when the accident happened in Jingzhou, Jingzhong responded to those who insisted that Su Wanru was the princess. Although Mrs. Liao didn't respond at first, he vaguely felt that it had something to do with it.
But this is just a feeling, not evidence.
There must be a reason for the faction to fight for a party member, and there must be a reason to connect them together, or work hard for a certain prince, or share the same goals for a new policy, even if they come from the same school and have similar beliefs...they are all reasons.
But none of these people.Not for any prince, nor want to implement the New Deal, let alone a teacher.
Master Cui rubbed his head, thinking that he might be thinking too much.
"My lord, we're here." As Chang Sui said, the sedan chair stopped, the sedan chair curtain was lifted, and Master Cui came down, and a group of people hurried into the yamen. Just as they entered, an official bumped into Chang Sui's body, panicked. Master Liao's Chang Sui yelled: "What are you doing, you're a messy person."
"My lord, there is an assassin in the prison, and I am going to report this matter to you and Lord Qin."
Master Cui's heart skipped a beat, and he changed his face, saying: "What assassin, have you caught it, take me to see it quickly."
"Not yet, there are seven or eight people here, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts, and Catcher Li is leading his brothers to stop them."
Master Cui hurriedly went to the back.
The prison cell of the Criminal Department is in the backyard. There are more than a dozen rooms in three yards, and there is also a dungeon, but behind the cell, all serious criminals are locked up inside.
Both Kong Shunyi and Aunt Qian were witnesses, so they were locked in front and guarded, but it was not as airtight as a dungeon.
At this moment, the eight masked men repelled the yamen guards from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and rushed into the courtyard. Kong Shunyi watched anxiously in the room, and his subordinates said: "My lord, let's hit the door and get out, or else When they come in, we will become old turtles in the vat."
"What kind of old turtle in a tank." Kong Shunyi glared at his subordinates, staring outside through the window, "These eight people are very skilled, and it seems that they have a lot of background."
After a few hands, you can rush in.
Kong Shunyi greeted his brother, "Copy guy!"
"Yes." The brothers squatted at the door and muttered, "Is Zhennan Hou in danger? These people obviously want to kill people to silence them. It must be because of the refugees in Yanping Mansion."
Kong Shunyi shook his head and said: "Although the Marquis of Zhennan is imprisoned, he is a Marquis after all. No one in the world dares to kill him, and no one can kill him."
"That's right! Then let's protect ourselves. My lord, let's set up an array. The array that Zhennan Hou taught us last time is very effective."
Kong Shunyi leaned against the door, tightly gripped the handle of the knife, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, set up the formation!" If they didn't set up the formation, they would definitely not be able to beat these men in black.
After brushing a few times, they formed a formation inside the door, staring at the door, waiting for the black-clothed assassin to rush in.
Outside the door, the sound of fighting continued, some people fell down, some shouted, some rushed in.
Kong Shunyi was sweating and took off his clothes nervously.Most of the Xiang soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled, only his brothers are still useful, and he must not lose his brothers here.
"My lord, they seem to have gone to the next door. What should I do?" The voice from the next door made Kong Shunyi startled, "Go, get out."
Aunt Qian and the others are far more important than them.
At this moment, the door was kicked open, and the light came in at once. Kong Shunyi and others panicked and drew their swords out.
At this moment, the open space outside the palace gate was still full of excitement. The official said: "You are the ones who provoked trouble, but now you are here to beat Nurhachi. If you have the ability to beat Nurhachi, what can you do here?"
"Your Majesty's decree, we will go wherever we are needed. We regard the horse leather shroud as an honor!" The generals shouted in unison, Su Wanru nodded with a smile, and winked at Zhu Xun, Zhu Xun immediately understood, took the lead and knelt down, The troublemakers behind him saw him like this, and immediately knelt down too.
"We practice martial arts and serve our country wholeheartedly. It is our honor to sacrifice our lives for the sake of the Holy One and our country!"
The martial artist's voice is unmatched by literati, roaring, earth-shattering, and full of momentum!
Zhao Zhiang laughed loudly when he heard this, and said with arrogance, "I know what you want. I have you, it's enough!" Or the military general is in line with his wishes, he speaks and does things briskly, and even flatters him even more quickly.
Zhao Zhiang was very happy, pointing to Zhu Xun and Du Gonggong: "Reward this kid with 1000 taels of silver, and let him invite his cronies to drink."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Xun laughed, turned his head and said to the generals behind him, "Brothers, tonight in Cuixiang Tower, you will not return if you are not drunk!"
Everyone laughed loudly, and clasped their fists at Zhao Zhiang, "Thank you, Sheng Shang Long En."
The civil servants on the opposite side were furious, and these military generals boasted that they were straight-hearted. This flattering skill was much better than theirs, really shameless!
"Aunt Su ordered it." Master Du and Master Liao said: "This woman is not simple, my lord, this matter must not be easily spared her."
"Hmm. It's really surprising." Master Liao nodded, and couldn't help but look back. Master Cui hasn't done it yet. It seems that his work is almost done...
Wait a minute, if Master Cui hasn't come back in fifteen minutes, then the matter must be done.
"Without those witnesses, no matter how powerful she is, it's useless to speak up. Not only her, but even Shen Zhan has to be admitted." Mr. Liao said.
Lord Du nodded yes, and said in a low voice: "After passing this test, Master Zhou will be fine. The Lord wants us to send him to the capital. Your Excellency will see where it is more appropriate to arrange it."
"It depends on how the boss assigns you." Mr. Liao said: "First help Mr. Zhou pass this test, and then discuss the rest."
Master Du should be, and Zhu Zeyuan looked at each other, showing his reassuring eyes, Zhu Zeyuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Can you sing military songs?" Su Wanru looked at everyone and said with a smile, "I'm not idle, let's sing a song for the Holy One."
As soon as her words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, and Wang Tuhu said, "I don't know how to sing military songs."
"If you don't know how to learn, military songs mainly focus on momentum, but the lyrics are very simple." Su Wanru pointed to Yang Ertong and Master Lin of the Forbidden Army, "You two must know how to do it?"
I really know how to do it, but singing here is a bit too much.
"Master Yang." Su Wanru paced to Yang Ertong's side, and said in a low voice: "Think about it, after you are promoted to a higher level, you will be a captain. If you don't say anything else, your salary will increase, and your wife won't let you sleep when you go home." room."
"You, how do you know." Yang Ertong stared.
Su Wanru couldn't help laughing, and said: "Your Majesty Yang seems to be a good husband-in-law. He is kind to Madam, so naturally he will obey Madam in everything." She said again: "Sing."
"Ten thousand people are of one mind, Mount Tai can be shaken!" Yang Ertong yelled with a loud voice, and there was a silence in the field, and then someone sang along with him.
But loyalty and righteousness are full of anger.
The Lord will kiss me better than parents;
If you violate military orders, you will not be free.
……
The voice of the military commander is so powerful that it is not tragic, but it can make people's blood boil. The chorus of nearly a hundred people on the field echoed through the sky. Zhao Zhiang stood up suddenly, swung the long knife in his hand, and shouted: " I recall that in Xuzhou, I beat Su Zhengxing and Shen Zhan rescued him. Although he was trapped in the end, the whole army retreated. I will never forget the scene of that year. All the soldiers stood on the city gate and cheered. There were also tears in my eyes."
"Father is heroic." Zhao Jun cupped his hands and said, "Father is the first in terms of military planning, and no one dares to admit that he is second."
Zhao Zhiang laughed loudly, since he became the emperor, he hasn't been so happy for a long time.
Zhao Yan looked at Su Wanru with a smile, Su Wanru felt his gaze, turned her head to look at him, and winked, the two of them understood each other's thoughts and smiled at each other.
Someone began to sob and cry.
Across the Jinshui River, a little boy shouted: "I want to learn martial arts when I grow up, and I want to follow Zhennanhou to kill the enemy!"
The childish voice was clear and innocent, as soon as it came out, the scene became silent, Yang Er burst into tears, and said: "Learning martial arts, defending the family and defending the country, even if I can't rule the country and make suggestions, even if I don't know how to recite poems and make right, I am no better than anyone else." humble!"
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.
The civil servants on the opposite side were stunned. When they heard the song, they were also excited and excited. Someone suddenly asked: "Why are we standing here and breaking this matter with them? There is no need to confront and discuss this matter. We all They are the courtiers of the Holy Majesty, and there is no one who is superior or inferior."
"It's because of the Marquis of Zhennan. The Marquis of Zhennan arrested Master Zhu. Didn't you say that Marquis of Zhennan has no right to arrest him?"
"No, our question is not because Zhennanhou is a military general, but because Zhennanhou killed five hundred imperial troops. We think that he has no evidence and kills innocent people indiscriminately."
As soon as this remark came out, many of the civil servants were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but recall how they were dragged into this matter in the first place.
And why did he hold onto Zhennan Hou.
As Aunt Su said, Marquis Zhennan is not a man of courage and no strategy, so he must have his reasons for doing so.
Have they listened to his explanation, have they tried the case, why are they impeaching Zhennan Hou like the wind?
Everyone was dumbfounded, and some people started to step back, not wanting to get involved in this matter.
"My lord!" Su Wanru walked over and smiled, "It's because you were instigated... Someone took advantage of the kindness and sense of justice given to you to do bad things. You were deceived."
Yes, we are all kind people with a sense of justice, the civil servants nodded, "Yes, we were deceived by others."
"Who blinded us?" someone asked.
Su Wanru shook her head, and said: "I don't know yet, but everyone in the world knows that everyone is kind. When the trial starts later, you just have to look at it with a kind heart, listen and judge. It’s not too late to admit your mistakes, if you are right, please be kind and righteous, the world needs you.”
"This world not only needs civil servants, but also military commanders. We are born from the same root, so why rush each other!" Su Wanru said, turning her head and casting a glance at Zhao Zhiang. I'm really free. I can't do this well for you to win courtiers over. You are also ashamed to become the emperor!
She cursed in her heart, and the civil servants were relieved of their guilt by her words, and suddenly they were only left with a sense of justice and kindness.
"Why hasn't he brought it here yet?" Someone asked, "Master Cui has been gone for a long time."
On the one hand, Daqi Liao's chest hurts. This woman is so good at deceiving people. A war song not only made the generals gain the upper hand, but also reminded the emperor of the past, and made the civil servants start to reflect and lose their camp.
It's so scheming.
hateful!
However, no matter how smart you are, you can't change the facts. Without witnesses and evidence, what you said is nonsense!
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Master Cui is back."
Master Liao was startled, and immediately looked along his line of sight, and saw Master Liao rushing with a group of people, and those people were clearly the witnesses brought back by Nanhou Shen Zhen.
His people, failed?Master Liao took a step back tremblingly, and was supported by Master Du. He turned pale and looked at Master Du.
"My lord, don't be afraid." Lord Du said in a low voice: "Take a step back and say that neither you nor I participated in this matter. We are just helping Lord Zhou."
That's right, it's all Master Zhou, they have no problem at all.
"My lord..." Zhu Zeyuan came over and looked at them with cold sweat, "What should I do?"
Mr. Liao looked around, winked at him, and said in a low voice quickly: "Once Hu Jia dies, no one can prove that you had contacts with him."
"But the other party is the Marquis of Zhennan." Master Zhu said.
Lord Liao said in a low voice: "The Marquis of Zhennan is still in confinement, he won't come. Be safe and don't be impatient, you will be fine." They were talking, and suddenly they poked their heads over, and saw Su Wanru smiling Said: "something!"
The faces of the three people changed, Zhu Zeyuan quickly returned to his train, Master Liao was furious, looked at Su Wanru and said, "You are a woman who shows her face in public, jumps into the crowd of men, and does men's things, how decent is that?"
"My lord, women do men's things because men are too bad." Su Wanru looked Mr. Liao up and down, "My lord, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, may not be able to do it."
Da Liao was trembling with anger, pointed at Su Wanru and said, "You girl, you are too uneducated."
"The Holy Majesty is about to interrogate." Su Wanru smiled, "My lord, cheer up."
Saying that, she walked away in a flick of her sleeves.
Leaving Mr. Liao holding Mr. Du's hand angrily, he could not stand still. Mr. Du persuaded him, "This woman is wandering around the field. She said this to anger you. If you are really angry, you will hit her." trap."
He had just observed that as soon as Master Cui left, the woman would talk to the Holy Majesty for a while, incite everyone to sing, incite the civil servants to oppose the camp, and come to anger Mr. Liao again.
She's like an idle market thug who specializes in hooliganism.
Master Cui brought Kong Shunyi and others in.
"What's wrong with these people." Zhu Xun jumped out all of a sudden and stopped Master Cui, "Master Cui, I believed you when I was sent to the Ministry of Punishment. How could you execute the sentence? They are just witnesses, not criminals."
As soon as his words fell, the military commander immediately shouted, "Yes, they are just witnesses, how can the Ministry of Punishment carry out punishment?"
Su Wanru also saw it. Her clothes were torn, her hair was loose, and Aunt Qian even lost one of her shoes. No wonder Zhu Xun would ask such a question.
"Bold." Daren Du said: "You guys want to see the Holy Majesty, why don't you tidy up your clothes, it's really rebellious, how decent it is!"
The generals booed them collectively, and Zhu Xun said: "Didn't you see that they were tortured, and some people treated them as criminals and even adjusted their clothes. Are you joking?"
"No matter who it is, you have to tidy up when you meet with the Holy Majesty." Master Du shouted, but he was alone, and the civil servants who originally supported them to make trouble together were silent for a moment at this moment, with a wait-and-see attitude.
These people changed their original intentions after being encouraged by a little girl a few times. It was an insult to the gentleness of the scholars. Du Dale stared back at them angrily.
"Lord Du, calm down." A civil official said: "The matter is urgent. There must be a reason why Master Cui brought them here like this. Let's listen and see."
Pooh!Master Du spat in his heart.
Master Liao's complexion changed suddenly, and he whispered: "They did this on purpose." He was not injured, but he pretended to be in a state of embarrassment, clearly wanting to tell others that they were wronged by these certifications.
Master Liao couldn't figure it out, they all knew the strength of the yamen servants in the criminal department, and with the abilities of eight of them, they could definitely kill them all.
How could you miss it?
"Kowtow to the Holy One!" Master Cui led Kong Shunyi and Aunt Qian to kneel down, Zhao Zhiang nodded and said, "Cui Aiqing, are these witnesses really tortured in the Ministry of Punishments as Prince Zhu said?"
Lord Cui kowtowed and replied: "Return to the Holy Lord, the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not torture them, but before they came to interrogate, someone broke into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, trying to kill them. Fortunately, Huang Butou and others of the Ministry of Criminal Justice tried their best to protect them, otherwise, my minister I will have no face to see the Holy Majesty."
"Assassination?" Zhao Zhiang couldn't believe it, "Long Lang Qiankun, you said that someone entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to kill people?"
Master Cui should be.
"There's no reason for that." Zhao Zhiang laughed angrily. He thought that the reason for the chaos elsewhere was because he didn't sit in charge, but in the land of the capital, at the foot of the emperor, there were actually assassins in the six yamen, "Okay, very good!"
Master Cui wiped his sweat, and Zhao Zhiang asked again: "Man, have you caught him? Where is the assassin?"
"Caught it, and detained it in the Ministry of Punishment, waiting for the Holy Majesty to make a decision." Cui Daren said humanely.
The Azure Dragon Saber in Zhao Zhiang's hand hit the ground with a clang, and the surrounding area was completely silent. He suppressed his temper and said word by word, "Bring me here!"
Master Cui should be, and he turned around and ordered the little official who came with him.
"It's simply too rampant." Zhu Xun said, "He went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to kill people!"
Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they heard it, Su Wanru answered, "It can be seen that this matter is really strange."
"Let's try." Zhao Zhiang said: "I want to see who is so capable, in broad daylight, broke into my punishment department to kill people, and when found out, I will kill him immediately."
Master Cui stood up, Kong Shunyi and the others were still kneeling, he asked: "In front of the Holy Majesty, what should I ask, and what should I answer, if you don't ask, don't speak casually, can you hear me clearly?"
Kong Shunyi and others should be.
"Mr. Qian, the four of you will tell the truth about everything that happened that night." Master Cui said, "No embellishments, no falsehoods!"
Aunt Qian should be, glanced at Song Wan, and said in a low voice: "Tell me, the Holy One is here, and he will definitely be able to make decisions for us."
"Auntie, tell me." Song Wan never raised his head. When he first came to the capital, he was full of expectations, thinking that the Holy One would be the master for the people. He Zhu Zeyuan was not only acquitted, but also rewarded.
He was completely disappointed.
He didn't want to talk and would rather be beheaded.
"You child." Aunt Qian didn't dare to delay, she hurriedly kowtowed and replied, "That evening, all of us in Lihuaba rested on the official road outside Dezhou City. It is said that there are few refugees there, maybe we can get something to eat. There are 62 households in Lihuaba, 58 households came out, and 190 households were extinct on the road, so when we arrived in Dezhou, we still had [-] households with [-] people. "
"We were cold and hungry. At this time, four people came from Texas City. He told us that he could take us to find food. At that time, we were hungry and we heard him say that there was food. We followed along. On the way, he said something to our chief, and the chief came to tell us that some rich people would pass by in a while, and asked us to surround them and rob them of their money. In this way, we will have money, at least, one person can get 50 taels of silver."
"50 taels, for us, is money that we have never seen before. We were so hungry that we went with four people. Sure enough, a group of people came on horseback after a while. We were very scared at that time. It’s just that there are many people, follow those four people.”
"Robbery and murder." Daren Du said, "They are indeed bandits."
Aunt Qian said angrily: "We are not, we are citizens of Lihuaba, you can check and ask, if I tell half a lie, the sky will be struck by lightning!"
"I swear it will work, then..." Master Du was about to speak, when Su Wanru pushed Zhu Xun, Zhu Xun suddenly understood, and immediately kicked Master Du, who fell to the ground, and was immediately crushed by someone live.
"Let you talk nonsense, let you interrupt." Zhu Xun crackled, "Let you talk too much."
The scene was silent, everyone stared at Zhu Xun and Lord Du dumbfounded, Lord Liao came to his senses, went up and pulled Zhu Xun, "How can you beat someone in front of the Holy Majesty, you are too outrageous, come... ..."
"I am the eldest son of the Marquis of Changxing, you have the right to arrest me?" Zhu Xun finished beating up, stroked his robe and got up, Master Liao supported Master Du to get up.
Master Du's clothes were torn, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen from the beating, he really didn't look like a human being.
"It's an insult to the gentleman, it's an insult to the gentleman." Da Liao was very angry. Now that he can't be arrested after beating someone, why does he feel that he has been tricked.
Master Liao was very angry, but none of the civil servants in front of him and behind him came forward to help.
This matter looks a bit complicated, we can no longer be used as guns, everyone thought.
Mrs. Liao's heart turned cold, and his mind turned sharply, thinking about the countermeasures later.
Zhu Xun straightened his clothes, walked in front of Zhao Zhiang and cupped his hands, saying: "My lord, I made a mistake, I will wait for this matter later, I am willing to accept the punishment."
"Audacious." Zhao Zhiang pointed to Zhu Xun, then looked at Su Wanru, "It seems that I am busy today."
Because Su Wanru also said just now, when the matter is settled, she is willing to accept the punishment.
Zhu Xun rubbed his nose, folded his hands and stepped back, Su Wanru'an secretly gave him a thumbs up, and the two of them winked.
"Go ahead." In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the people on the other side, Zhao Zhiang is a good emperor who is tolerant and magnanimous, and has lived for the people. "I'm listening."
Aunt Qian should be, and continued: "We didn't know at the time that the people we besieged were Zhennanhou and Aunt Su." As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Su Wanru. Su Wanru stepped forward and replied: " Yes, we were the ones under siege."
Zhao Zhiang nodded without commenting, "Continue."
Aunt Qian explained the following in detail, "...we followed those people and ran all the time. Although we felt like a hungry dog being hooked with steamed buns, we couldn't help it. The children and the elderly couldn't bear it anymore. Stay here, as long as there is food, let us do whatever you want."
There was a low noise in the crowd, comparing themselves to dogs, in fact, many of them are dogs, even worse than dogs!
"We have been following the dozens of people, and ran up the nameless mountain for no reason. When we realized it, we couldn't go down. They dug a hole and forced us to jump into it. We were afraid that we would run, but we couldn't. I couldn't escape, so I heard the sound of the knife chopping on the bone, and I was afraid, so I had to jump in..."
Aunt Qian burst into tears.
There was a lot of cursing from all around, and someone said: "It's just a beast!"
Zhao Zhiang's face was gloomy.
"All the people who escaped and were killed were thrown back into the pit. Those people started talking and laughing and filling the soil, saying that we would have a good meal after they were buried. I didn't dare to make a sound. I was pressed down by the dead and looked at myself. My fellow countrymen were buried bit by bit, and they didn’t even dare to cry.”
"Later, the Marquis of Zhennan and Aunt Su came." Aunt Qian said, "The Marquis of Zhennan killed those people, and together with Aunt Su and the others, they were digging desperately to save us. The gravel was cut and the hands were covered with blood..."
Xiuniang's hands are the foundation of life and security. Zhao Zhiang looked at Su Wanru, and Su Wanru went forward to spread her hands. The wounds had healed long ago, but the nails on both hands were worn into weird shapes, and there were still scars on the fingers.
"It hurts a lot." Su Wanru said, "The soil is too thick, the people inside are already dead when we scrape it open."
Zhao Zhiang nodded and looked at Aunt Qian.
"We followed the Marquis of Zhennan down the mountain, and just after we walked a little bit, we saw the imperial army rushing to the Wuming Mountain, and after a while, the Wuming Mountain was ablaze." Aunt Qian said: "The Marquis of Zhennan took us back to Dezhou In the city, Aunt Su will accompany us to the clinic, while he will go to Xiang Jun."
Everyone looked at Kong Shunyi, and Kong Shunyi continued, "The Marquis of Zhennan taught us the formation and asked us to go to the Wuming Mountain. He didn't say anything, but asked us to go all out and leave no one alive!"
This is the original words, Shen Zhan really said so at the time.
"This is the tone of the Marquis of Zhennan." Zhao Zhiang said: "It turns out that the five hundred forbidden soldiers died like this."
Kong Shunyi should be.
"I remember that Hujia, the commander of the Dezhou Imperial Army, also brought him back to the capital, right?" Zhao Zhiang asked.
Master Cui replied: "He's dead, he just died in the hospital just now, and died of serious injuries!" Hujia's wound was infected, and it is rare to live to this day.
Zhao Zhiang frowned, but Lord Liao and Lord Du breathed a sigh of relief. Lord Liao took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Hu Jia is dead. It can be said that there is no proof of his death. It all depends on the one-sided words of these people. But they have no household registration and no way to guide them. , no one can prove their status as refugees. Therefore, what they said is very much a pre-set word.”
"Fart!" Zhu Xun pointed at Mr. Liao who was about to strike, and Mr. Liao stepped back quickly, saying in fear, "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands."
Zhu Xun spat, and Su Wanru said, "Then bite him!"
Zhu Xun snorted, and the corners of his mouth trembled, this girl treated him like a second dog.
Master Liao covered his neck, horrified, this woman is nothing short of a hooligan.
"Stop making trouble." Zhao Zhiang stopped and looked at Su Wanru, "Master Liao's words are not bad. There is no household registration in Yanping Mansion. It all depends on their one-sided words. How can they prove that they are refugees and not bandits?"
Aunt Qian felt a chill in her heart, Song Wan lowered her head, looking like she was going to die.
"It's like this..." Su Wanru was about to speak when someone suddenly shouted, "The Marquis of Zhennan is here."
Su Wanru's eyes lit up, and she looked behind the people, and she saw Shen Zhan striding forward, dressed in ink and brocade robes, and his appearance was full of imposing manner, "My lord, although Hu Jia died, the confession written in his own handwriting The book is here."
It doesn't matter whether Hujia is dead or not.
"A confession?" Master Liao and Master Du's expressions changed, "Didn't Hu Jia say that he didn't write a confession?" The two couldn't help but look at Zhu Zeyuan.
Zhu Zeyuan shook his head, he didn't know how there was a confession letter because Shen Zhan didn't interrogate them on the way.
It's over, they've been lied to.
"Bring me to have a look." Zhao Zhiang finally read the confession letter Shen Zhan handed over, and also saw the fingerprints, frowned and said, "Why didn't you show it before?"
Shen Zhan replied: "Earlier, Hujia was dying, and he couldn't write a statement of guilt at all."
"Then why again?" Zhao Zhiang asked.
Shen Zhan replied: "I didn't dare to interrogate because I was afraid that he would die, but I knew that his life would not be saved, so just let him use his remaining energy."
What's the point of this? Seeing that someone is about to die, hurry up and interrogate him.
"How do you prove that this is Hujia's confession?" Master Liao asked.
Shen Zhan suddenly turned his head, looked at the other party, narrowed his eyes, Zhu Xun then said: "How do you prove that you are not a beast but a human being."
"How can you curse people." Master Liao cupped his hands, and said to Zhao Zhiang: "My lord, they bully people too much."
Zhao Zhiang didn't think Zhu Xun scolded people at first, but now he was really annoyed by Master Liao, "It was you who deceived others first, if you are not convinced, then fight him."
"Your Majesty!" Master Liao was speechless. He might as well die if he fought with the general. "The humble minister is only complaining about injustice. The law must emphasize justice."
Zhao Zhiang looked at Shen Zhan.
"There is justice," after Shen Zhan finished speaking, everyone saw a group of tied men in black appearing in the crowd. When Master Liao saw it, he was in a cold sweat.
Six people knelt down, and one was seriously injured. Cui Daren said: "My lord, it is they who entered the cell to kill the witnesses."
"Let them talk." Zhao Zhiang said.
Master Cui replied: "Their jaws have been removed, they are dead soldiers, they will commit suicide!"
Knowing this, Zhao Zhiang looked at Shen Zhan and said, "Let them talk."
Shen Zhan should be, Lu Cheng and Min Wang came up, one of them bit a piece of dagger in his mouth, untied one of them, stripped off his clothes, Min Wang supported the prisoner, Lu Cheng cut the flesh, gouged out a piece from his shoulder, and put it in the place where no one else was. before.
Bloody.
The five people looked terrified and trembling.
And the person who was cut up screamed in pain, his eyes were about to burst.
This is the most painful way to die in the world.
"Woohoo!" Unable to stand being cut, the man kowtowed, his eyes full of despair, Min Wang connected the man's chin and said, "Take it."
The man wept bitterly and kowtowed, "The villain is a dead man raised by Master Liao, and he was ordered by Master Liao to kill and silence him."
As soon as the words came out, there was a restless uproar after the silence of the audience, and everyone's eyes fell on Mr. Liao.
I was surprised to say that I was surprised, but if I said it was normal, it was very normal, because Mr. Liao always made people feel that he was upholding justice and helping the right way in this case.
It turns out that he is evil.
Master Liao shook his head in horror, and fell to the ground with a thud. Master Du was injured and couldn't open his eyes.
As soon as they fell, the crowd scattered all around.
The movements are neat and unified.
"Raise dead soldiers?" Zhao Zhiang couldn't believe it, "Kill people to silence them?"
Master Liao shook his head, "My lord, they are the ones who framed this humble official. This humble official doesn't know anything."
"So many people, why are you alone?" Zhao Zhiang looked at Mr. Liao, "Liao Zhiming, you have been working in Huguang for 11 years. I think you are full of knowledge and talent for governing the country. You have been promoted all the way. You will repay me like this. .”
"Your Majesty, no, no." Master Liao argued, "I really don't know anything."
Zhao Zhiang didn't look at him, stared at Master Du and said: "Du Xiao, I remember you were in Fujian, you led the people to fight against pirates in seven or eight years, and I regret to let you enter Beijing. It seems that you don't know what to do. .”
Zhao Zhiang held the knife in his hand, turned the knife in the palm of his hand, scratched the bluestone slab with a screech, the sound was extremely ear-piercing, he stood up stiffly, and said angrily: "It seems that this matter has something to do with the prefect of Yanping. Is it related? Fortunately, I still praised him for his meritorious service in disaster relief and wanted to promote him to the capital. Now it seems that I took fish eyes as pearls."
Su Wanru slandered, "A dog of a feather!"
"Your Majesty, there are indeed no such people in the household registration book of Yanping Mansion. These people are bandits. Everything was fabricated by the Marquis of Zhennan in order to get rid of the crime of killing innocent people indiscriminately." Master Liao retorted: "My Majesty, You can't listen to what a villain says."
"There are no more than 100 people from Lihuaba in the household registration book of Yanping Mansion. Not only are they absent, but there are also more than 100 households in Yangjia Village and Niujiaao, which are separated by a hill from Lihuaba." Shen Zhan said: "But things are dead things. , People are living people. With so many people disappearing out of thin air, it’s impossible to leave no trace.”
"Your Majesty." Shen Zhan said: "This is a big matter, please send someone to investigate and verify. How can so many human lives be erased casually."
After Shen Zhan finished speaking, a general suddenly shouted: "I believe in the Marquis of Zhennan, please send someone to investigate, and give justice to these unjustly killed people."
"Pray to the Holy One to punish these evil officials severely and give justice to the common people."
Aunt Qian fell to the ground, crying and panting, "I beseech the Lord to be the master for our people in Yanping. Master Zhou of Yanping did not provide disaster relief, and Yanping was still starving and dying. He used all the collected money to fill his own pockets to satisfy his selfish desires, and asked the Lord to be strict with us." check."
"Yes, the three prefectures in the northwest were affected by the disaster, and only Yanping reported that the disaster relief was smooth, while the other two places still had no money and food, and there were countless hungry people. They begged the court for relief." Shen Zhan said: "The prefect of Yanping only said that the disaster was over, but did not say What kind of politics and methods to use is a big doubt."
"Bastard, why do I have such a subject!" Zhao Zhiang felt that he is a king who knows the way, and he attracts talented people. He can win against Su Zhengxing because his ability to lead troops in battle is better than Su Zhengxing's The second reason is that he knows how to use people well, and has countless good and loyal ministers around him.
Now it seems that these are all fake, his courtiers are all wolves in human skin, they don't hesitate to kill the disaster victims and lie about their merits in order to get promoted.Deceive the world, deceive the monarch!
Zhao Zhiang held the knife, his arm was trembling extremely fast.
The big case in Jingzhou is still being investigated secretly, Si Sanbao is still helping him with another corruption case, and now such inhumane things have come out again.
He dragged his knife and walked up to Zhu Zeyuan, and asked, "I'll ask you again, did you instruct Hujia to burn the mountain to kill people that night? What is your relationship with the prefect of Yanping, and what is your relationship with Liao Zhiming and Du Xiao?" .”
"Your Majesty." Zhu Zeyuan knelt on the ground with a thud, "I... I don't know anything."
"Still lying to me." Zhao Zhiang said: "Hu Jia's confession letter clearly states that everything he does is based on your instructions, and you are still playing tricks with me."
Zhu Zeyuan was trembling with fright, hoping that Master Liao would save him, but Master Liao was lying on the ground, trembling all over, so he had no time to control his life or death.
My lord!We... we failed your trust.
Thinking about it, Zhu Zeyuan suddenly stood up, bumped into Zhao Zhiang's knife with a puff, Zhao Zhiang kicked him away, and he fell to the ground like a rag.
He wants to die, and now that one person is responsible for the death, maybe he can save his family's life!
"I'm so angry!" Zhao Zhiang was about to go mad with anger. These people are like pigs and dogs, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Lord Liao and Lord Du with a murderous look, and shouted: "You, who is the master?" Make!"
"It's...it's Weichen." Master Liao said, "Weichen did this to help Master Yanping Zhou."
My lord, the student can only do this. The matter has been exposed, and the student has no face to see you again. I hope to repay your kindness in the next life.
Zhao Zhiang yelled, raised the saber, the saber was swept by the cold wind, and slashed on Master Liao's neck with a puff, then drew the saber, and cut off Master Du's waist with one blow, he said angrily: "No need for the Queen of Autumn, no need for the Meridian Gate , I will do justice for the heavens today, and cut down you scum."
"The Holy One is wise!" Shen Zhan clasped his hands and took the lead in shouting.
Everyone endured their fear, not daring to look at the blood all over the ground, and clasped their hands and followed, chanting, "The Holy One is wise!"
Aunt Qian and the others cried.
Zhao Zhiang's heart was full of anger, he had not drank blood for a long time, and today he was drunk with Qinglong Dao, walking with a clang, "Hang these rebellious officials and thieves on the city gate to show the public comfort to the dead. Then send people to Yanping Mansion to thoroughly investigate the disaster relief. , Arrest the prefect of Yanping and bring him to justice!"
"Yes!" Wang Dahai responded, and led his men to drag the six black men away, and then went to clean up the three corpses and blood.
Zhao Zhiang stopped to look at Kong Shunyi and Aunt Qian, and said, "Go back, all your household registrations will be completed, and I will uphold justice for you."
"Thank you, Majesty!" Aunt Qian and the others supported each other to get up, and then slowly retreated.
Zhao Zhiang suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Zhan, his eyes swept over Zhu Xun again, and finally fell on Su Wanru, angrily said: "You come with me!"
As he spoke, he strode ahead.
(End of this chapter)
Master Cui is very innocent today, he was also dragged by the collar by those generals, those people don't know, he and his colleagues are a thorn in the side now.
It was because Shen Zhan said that he would hand over the case to the Criminal Ministry as soon as he came back.
Therefore, most people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice had to passively stand by Shen Zhan's side. Even if they couldn't stand on the side for various reasons, they still took great pains to remain neutral.
"My lord." His regular follower said: "This Aunt Su is really not simple." A woman can silence what those people say, and make those who have read poetry and books and claim to be knowledgeable follow her. In this world, there are not many people who can do it.
"If she was a simple and stupid woman, how could she go to the capital alone? In just over a year, she can achieve so many achievements." Master Cui said, thinking of his daughter, "Since Yudie entered her After school, the Xianzhen girl is very different from before, not only has she learned more, she has become more mature and experienced in dealing with people, and she is more independent and self-reliant."
"This is a good thing." Chang Sui sighed: "Girls will always get married in the future, and it is inevitable that something goes wrong. If you have a strong personality, you will not be bullied. You and your wife can rest assured."
Master Cui nodded, but still sighed across the sedan chair, "This time the civil servants are making trouble, can you see the clues?"
"Your Excellency, you mean that you have divided into factions?" Chang Sui asked.
Master Cui nodded, "Master Liao is a shrewd man. If he didn't have a heart-to-heart pain, it would be impossible for him to stand up for others. After careful inspection, it is not difficult to find that Master Liao, Master Du, Master Zhu, and several servants of the Ministry of War, even Xu My lord, there are some unexplainable connections."
He pondered over this matter for two days, and had someone investigate it secretly, but he couldn't figure it out.
Also, when the accident happened in Jingzhou, Jingzhong responded to those who insisted that Su Wanru was the princess. Although Mrs. Liao didn't respond at first, he vaguely felt that it had something to do with it.
But this is just a feeling, not evidence.
There must be a reason for the faction to fight for a party member, and there must be a reason to connect them together, or work hard for a certain prince, or share the same goals for a new policy, even if they come from the same school and have similar beliefs...they are all reasons.
But none of these people.Not for any prince, nor want to implement the New Deal, let alone a teacher.
Master Cui rubbed his head, thinking that he might be thinking too much.
"My lord, we're here." As Chang Sui said, the sedan chair stopped, the sedan chair curtain was lifted, and Master Cui came down, and a group of people hurried into the yamen. Just as they entered, an official bumped into Chang Sui's body, panicked. Master Liao's Chang Sui yelled: "What are you doing, you're a messy person."
"My lord, there is an assassin in the prison, and I am going to report this matter to you and Lord Qin."
Master Cui's heart skipped a beat, and he changed his face, saying: "What assassin, have you caught it, take me to see it quickly."
"Not yet, there are seven or eight people here, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts, and Catcher Li is leading his brothers to stop them."
Master Cui hurriedly went to the back.
The prison cell of the Criminal Department is in the backyard. There are more than a dozen rooms in three yards, and there is also a dungeon, but behind the cell, all serious criminals are locked up inside.
Both Kong Shunyi and Aunt Qian were witnesses, so they were locked in front and guarded, but it was not as airtight as a dungeon.
At this moment, the eight masked men repelled the yamen guards from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and rushed into the courtyard. Kong Shunyi watched anxiously in the room, and his subordinates said: "My lord, let's hit the door and get out, or else When they come in, we will become old turtles in the vat."
"What kind of old turtle in a tank." Kong Shunyi glared at his subordinates, staring outside through the window, "These eight people are very skilled, and it seems that they have a lot of background."
After a few hands, you can rush in.
Kong Shunyi greeted his brother, "Copy guy!"
"Yes." The brothers squatted at the door and muttered, "Is Zhennan Hou in danger? These people obviously want to kill people to silence them. It must be because of the refugees in Yanping Mansion."
Kong Shunyi shook his head and said: "Although the Marquis of Zhennan is imprisoned, he is a Marquis after all. No one in the world dares to kill him, and no one can kill him."
"That's right! Then let's protect ourselves. My lord, let's set up an array. The array that Zhennan Hou taught us last time is very effective."
Kong Shunyi leaned against the door, tightly gripped the handle of the knife, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, set up the formation!" If they didn't set up the formation, they would definitely not be able to beat these men in black.
After brushing a few times, they formed a formation inside the door, staring at the door, waiting for the black-clothed assassin to rush in.
Outside the door, the sound of fighting continued, some people fell down, some shouted, some rushed in.
Kong Shunyi was sweating and took off his clothes nervously.Most of the Xiang soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled, only his brothers are still useful, and he must not lose his brothers here.
"My lord, they seem to have gone to the next door. What should I do?" The voice from the next door made Kong Shunyi startled, "Go, get out."
Aunt Qian and the others are far more important than them.
At this moment, the door was kicked open, and the light came in at once. Kong Shunyi and others panicked and drew their swords out.
At this moment, the open space outside the palace gate was still full of excitement. The official said: "You are the ones who provoked trouble, but now you are here to beat Nurhachi. If you have the ability to beat Nurhachi, what can you do here?"
"Your Majesty's decree, we will go wherever we are needed. We regard the horse leather shroud as an honor!" The generals shouted in unison, Su Wanru nodded with a smile, and winked at Zhu Xun, Zhu Xun immediately understood, took the lead and knelt down, The troublemakers behind him saw him like this, and immediately knelt down too.
"We practice martial arts and serve our country wholeheartedly. It is our honor to sacrifice our lives for the sake of the Holy One and our country!"
The martial artist's voice is unmatched by literati, roaring, earth-shattering, and full of momentum!
Zhao Zhiang laughed loudly when he heard this, and said with arrogance, "I know what you want. I have you, it's enough!" Or the military general is in line with his wishes, he speaks and does things briskly, and even flatters him even more quickly.
Zhao Zhiang was very happy, pointing to Zhu Xun and Du Gonggong: "Reward this kid with 1000 taels of silver, and let him invite his cronies to drink."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Xun laughed, turned his head and said to the generals behind him, "Brothers, tonight in Cuixiang Tower, you will not return if you are not drunk!"
Everyone laughed loudly, and clasped their fists at Zhao Zhiang, "Thank you, Sheng Shang Long En."
The civil servants on the opposite side were furious, and these military generals boasted that they were straight-hearted. This flattering skill was much better than theirs, really shameless!
"Aunt Su ordered it." Master Du and Master Liao said: "This woman is not simple, my lord, this matter must not be easily spared her."
"Hmm. It's really surprising." Master Liao nodded, and couldn't help but look back. Master Cui hasn't done it yet. It seems that his work is almost done...
Wait a minute, if Master Cui hasn't come back in fifteen minutes, then the matter must be done.
"Without those witnesses, no matter how powerful she is, it's useless to speak up. Not only her, but even Shen Zhan has to be admitted." Mr. Liao said.
Lord Du nodded yes, and said in a low voice: "After passing this test, Master Zhou will be fine. The Lord wants us to send him to the capital. Your Excellency will see where it is more appropriate to arrange it."
"It depends on how the boss assigns you." Mr. Liao said: "First help Mr. Zhou pass this test, and then discuss the rest."
Master Du should be, and Zhu Zeyuan looked at each other, showing his reassuring eyes, Zhu Zeyuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Can you sing military songs?" Su Wanru looked at everyone and said with a smile, "I'm not idle, let's sing a song for the Holy One."
As soon as her words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, and Wang Tuhu said, "I don't know how to sing military songs."
"If you don't know how to learn, military songs mainly focus on momentum, but the lyrics are very simple." Su Wanru pointed to Yang Ertong and Master Lin of the Forbidden Army, "You two must know how to do it?"
I really know how to do it, but singing here is a bit too much.
"Master Yang." Su Wanru paced to Yang Ertong's side, and said in a low voice: "Think about it, after you are promoted to a higher level, you will be a captain. If you don't say anything else, your salary will increase, and your wife won't let you sleep when you go home." room."
"You, how do you know." Yang Ertong stared.
Su Wanru couldn't help laughing, and said: "Your Majesty Yang seems to be a good husband-in-law. He is kind to Madam, so naturally he will obey Madam in everything." She said again: "Sing."
"Ten thousand people are of one mind, Mount Tai can be shaken!" Yang Ertong yelled with a loud voice, and there was a silence in the field, and then someone sang along with him.
But loyalty and righteousness are full of anger.
The Lord will kiss me better than parents;
If you violate military orders, you will not be free.
……
The voice of the military commander is so powerful that it is not tragic, but it can make people's blood boil. The chorus of nearly a hundred people on the field echoed through the sky. Zhao Zhiang stood up suddenly, swung the long knife in his hand, and shouted: " I recall that in Xuzhou, I beat Su Zhengxing and Shen Zhan rescued him. Although he was trapped in the end, the whole army retreated. I will never forget the scene of that year. All the soldiers stood on the city gate and cheered. There were also tears in my eyes."
"Father is heroic." Zhao Jun cupped his hands and said, "Father is the first in terms of military planning, and no one dares to admit that he is second."
Zhao Zhiang laughed loudly, since he became the emperor, he hasn't been so happy for a long time.
Zhao Yan looked at Su Wanru with a smile, Su Wanru felt his gaze, turned her head to look at him, and winked, the two of them understood each other's thoughts and smiled at each other.
Someone began to sob and cry.
Across the Jinshui River, a little boy shouted: "I want to learn martial arts when I grow up, and I want to follow Zhennanhou to kill the enemy!"
The childish voice was clear and innocent, as soon as it came out, the scene became silent, Yang Er burst into tears, and said: "Learning martial arts, defending the family and defending the country, even if I can't rule the country and make suggestions, even if I don't know how to recite poems and make right, I am no better than anyone else." humble!"
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.
The civil servants on the opposite side were stunned. When they heard the song, they were also excited and excited. Someone suddenly asked: "Why are we standing here and breaking this matter with them? There is no need to confront and discuss this matter. We all They are the courtiers of the Holy Majesty, and there is no one who is superior or inferior."
"It's because of the Marquis of Zhennan. The Marquis of Zhennan arrested Master Zhu. Didn't you say that Marquis of Zhennan has no right to arrest him?"
"No, our question is not because Zhennanhou is a military general, but because Zhennanhou killed five hundred imperial troops. We think that he has no evidence and kills innocent people indiscriminately."
As soon as this remark came out, many of the civil servants were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but recall how they were dragged into this matter in the first place.
And why did he hold onto Zhennan Hou.
As Aunt Su said, Marquis Zhennan is not a man of courage and no strategy, so he must have his reasons for doing so.
Have they listened to his explanation, have they tried the case, why are they impeaching Zhennan Hou like the wind?
Everyone was dumbfounded, and some people started to step back, not wanting to get involved in this matter.
"My lord!" Su Wanru walked over and smiled, "It's because you were instigated... Someone took advantage of the kindness and sense of justice given to you to do bad things. You were deceived."
Yes, we are all kind people with a sense of justice, the civil servants nodded, "Yes, we were deceived by others."
"Who blinded us?" someone asked.
Su Wanru shook her head, and said: "I don't know yet, but everyone in the world knows that everyone is kind. When the trial starts later, you just have to look at it with a kind heart, listen and judge. It’s not too late to admit your mistakes, if you are right, please be kind and righteous, the world needs you.”
"This world not only needs civil servants, but also military commanders. We are born from the same root, so why rush each other!" Su Wanru said, turning her head and casting a glance at Zhao Zhiang. I'm really free. I can't do this well for you to win courtiers over. You are also ashamed to become the emperor!
She cursed in her heart, and the civil servants were relieved of their guilt by her words, and suddenly they were only left with a sense of justice and kindness.
"Why hasn't he brought it here yet?" Someone asked, "Master Cui has been gone for a long time."
On the one hand, Daqi Liao's chest hurts. This woman is so good at deceiving people. A war song not only made the generals gain the upper hand, but also reminded the emperor of the past, and made the civil servants start to reflect and lose their camp.
It's so scheming.
hateful!
However, no matter how smart you are, you can't change the facts. Without witnesses and evidence, what you said is nonsense!
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Master Cui is back."
Master Liao was startled, and immediately looked along his line of sight, and saw Master Liao rushing with a group of people, and those people were clearly the witnesses brought back by Nanhou Shen Zhen.
His people, failed?Master Liao took a step back tremblingly, and was supported by Master Du. He turned pale and looked at Master Du.
"My lord, don't be afraid." Lord Du said in a low voice: "Take a step back and say that neither you nor I participated in this matter. We are just helping Lord Zhou."
That's right, it's all Master Zhou, they have no problem at all.
"My lord..." Zhu Zeyuan came over and looked at them with cold sweat, "What should I do?"
Mr. Liao looked around, winked at him, and said in a low voice quickly: "Once Hu Jia dies, no one can prove that you had contacts with him."
"But the other party is the Marquis of Zhennan." Master Zhu said.
Lord Liao said in a low voice: "The Marquis of Zhennan is still in confinement, he won't come. Be safe and don't be impatient, you will be fine." They were talking, and suddenly they poked their heads over, and saw Su Wanru smiling Said: "something!"
The faces of the three people changed, Zhu Zeyuan quickly returned to his train, Master Liao was furious, looked at Su Wanru and said, "You are a woman who shows her face in public, jumps into the crowd of men, and does men's things, how decent is that?"
"My lord, women do men's things because men are too bad." Su Wanru looked Mr. Liao up and down, "My lord, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, may not be able to do it."
Da Liao was trembling with anger, pointed at Su Wanru and said, "You girl, you are too uneducated."
"The Holy Majesty is about to interrogate." Su Wanru smiled, "My lord, cheer up."
Saying that, she walked away in a flick of her sleeves.
Leaving Mr. Liao holding Mr. Du's hand angrily, he could not stand still. Mr. Du persuaded him, "This woman is wandering around the field. She said this to anger you. If you are really angry, you will hit her." trap."
He had just observed that as soon as Master Cui left, the woman would talk to the Holy Majesty for a while, incite everyone to sing, incite the civil servants to oppose the camp, and come to anger Mr. Liao again.
She's like an idle market thug who specializes in hooliganism.
Master Cui brought Kong Shunyi and others in.
"What's wrong with these people." Zhu Xun jumped out all of a sudden and stopped Master Cui, "Master Cui, I believed you when I was sent to the Ministry of Punishment. How could you execute the sentence? They are just witnesses, not criminals."
As soon as his words fell, the military commander immediately shouted, "Yes, they are just witnesses, how can the Ministry of Punishment carry out punishment?"
Su Wanru also saw it. Her clothes were torn, her hair was loose, and Aunt Qian even lost one of her shoes. No wonder Zhu Xun would ask such a question.
"Bold." Daren Du said: "You guys want to see the Holy Majesty, why don't you tidy up your clothes, it's really rebellious, how decent it is!"
The generals booed them collectively, and Zhu Xun said: "Didn't you see that they were tortured, and some people treated them as criminals and even adjusted their clothes. Are you joking?"
"No matter who it is, you have to tidy up when you meet with the Holy Majesty." Master Du shouted, but he was alone, and the civil servants who originally supported them to make trouble together were silent for a moment at this moment, with a wait-and-see attitude.
These people changed their original intentions after being encouraged by a little girl a few times. It was an insult to the gentleness of the scholars. Du Dale stared back at them angrily.
"Lord Du, calm down." A civil official said: "The matter is urgent. There must be a reason why Master Cui brought them here like this. Let's listen and see."
Pooh!Master Du spat in his heart.
Master Liao's complexion changed suddenly, and he whispered: "They did this on purpose." He was not injured, but he pretended to be in a state of embarrassment, clearly wanting to tell others that they were wronged by these certifications.
Master Liao couldn't figure it out, they all knew the strength of the yamen servants in the criminal department, and with the abilities of eight of them, they could definitely kill them all.
How could you miss it?
"Kowtow to the Holy One!" Master Cui led Kong Shunyi and Aunt Qian to kneel down, Zhao Zhiang nodded and said, "Cui Aiqing, are these witnesses really tortured in the Ministry of Punishments as Prince Zhu said?"
Lord Cui kowtowed and replied: "Return to the Holy Lord, the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not torture them, but before they came to interrogate, someone broke into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, trying to kill them. Fortunately, Huang Butou and others of the Ministry of Criminal Justice tried their best to protect them, otherwise, my minister I will have no face to see the Holy Majesty."
"Assassination?" Zhao Zhiang couldn't believe it, "Long Lang Qiankun, you said that someone entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to kill people?"
Master Cui should be.
"There's no reason for that." Zhao Zhiang laughed angrily. He thought that the reason for the chaos elsewhere was because he didn't sit in charge, but in the land of the capital, at the foot of the emperor, there were actually assassins in the six yamen, "Okay, very good!"
Master Cui wiped his sweat, and Zhao Zhiang asked again: "Man, have you caught him? Where is the assassin?"
"Caught it, and detained it in the Ministry of Punishment, waiting for the Holy Majesty to make a decision." Cui Daren said humanely.
The Azure Dragon Saber in Zhao Zhiang's hand hit the ground with a clang, and the surrounding area was completely silent. He suppressed his temper and said word by word, "Bring me here!"
Master Cui should be, and he turned around and ordered the little official who came with him.
"It's simply too rampant." Zhu Xun said, "He went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to kill people!"
Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they heard it, Su Wanru answered, "It can be seen that this matter is really strange."
"Let's try." Zhao Zhiang said: "I want to see who is so capable, in broad daylight, broke into my punishment department to kill people, and when found out, I will kill him immediately."
Master Cui stood up, Kong Shunyi and the others were still kneeling, he asked: "In front of the Holy Majesty, what should I ask, and what should I answer, if you don't ask, don't speak casually, can you hear me clearly?"
Kong Shunyi and others should be.
"Mr. Qian, the four of you will tell the truth about everything that happened that night." Master Cui said, "No embellishments, no falsehoods!"
Aunt Qian should be, glanced at Song Wan, and said in a low voice: "Tell me, the Holy One is here, and he will definitely be able to make decisions for us."
"Auntie, tell me." Song Wan never raised his head. When he first came to the capital, he was full of expectations, thinking that the Holy One would be the master for the people. He Zhu Zeyuan was not only acquitted, but also rewarded.
He was completely disappointed.
He didn't want to talk and would rather be beheaded.
"You child." Aunt Qian didn't dare to delay, she hurriedly kowtowed and replied, "That evening, all of us in Lihuaba rested on the official road outside Dezhou City. It is said that there are few refugees there, maybe we can get something to eat. There are 62 households in Lihuaba, 58 households came out, and 190 households were extinct on the road, so when we arrived in Dezhou, we still had [-] households with [-] people. "
"We were cold and hungry. At this time, four people came from Texas City. He told us that he could take us to find food. At that time, we were hungry and we heard him say that there was food. We followed along. On the way, he said something to our chief, and the chief came to tell us that some rich people would pass by in a while, and asked us to surround them and rob them of their money. In this way, we will have money, at least, one person can get 50 taels of silver."
"50 taels, for us, is money that we have never seen before. We were so hungry that we went with four people. Sure enough, a group of people came on horseback after a while. We were very scared at that time. It’s just that there are many people, follow those four people.”
"Robbery and murder." Daren Du said, "They are indeed bandits."
Aunt Qian said angrily: "We are not, we are citizens of Lihuaba, you can check and ask, if I tell half a lie, the sky will be struck by lightning!"
"I swear it will work, then..." Master Du was about to speak, when Su Wanru pushed Zhu Xun, Zhu Xun suddenly understood, and immediately kicked Master Du, who fell to the ground, and was immediately crushed by someone live.
"Let you talk nonsense, let you interrupt." Zhu Xun crackled, "Let you talk too much."
The scene was silent, everyone stared at Zhu Xun and Lord Du dumbfounded, Lord Liao came to his senses, went up and pulled Zhu Xun, "How can you beat someone in front of the Holy Majesty, you are too outrageous, come... ..."
"I am the eldest son of the Marquis of Changxing, you have the right to arrest me?" Zhu Xun finished beating up, stroked his robe and got up, Master Liao supported Master Du to get up.
Master Du's clothes were torn, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen from the beating, he really didn't look like a human being.
"It's an insult to the gentleman, it's an insult to the gentleman." Da Liao was very angry. Now that he can't be arrested after beating someone, why does he feel that he has been tricked.
Master Liao was very angry, but none of the civil servants in front of him and behind him came forward to help.
This matter looks a bit complicated, we can no longer be used as guns, everyone thought.
Mrs. Liao's heart turned cold, and his mind turned sharply, thinking about the countermeasures later.
Zhu Xun straightened his clothes, walked in front of Zhao Zhiang and cupped his hands, saying: "My lord, I made a mistake, I will wait for this matter later, I am willing to accept the punishment."
"Audacious." Zhao Zhiang pointed to Zhu Xun, then looked at Su Wanru, "It seems that I am busy today."
Because Su Wanru also said just now, when the matter is settled, she is willing to accept the punishment.
Zhu Xun rubbed his nose, folded his hands and stepped back, Su Wanru'an secretly gave him a thumbs up, and the two of them winked.
"Go ahead." In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the people on the other side, Zhao Zhiang is a good emperor who is tolerant and magnanimous, and has lived for the people. "I'm listening."
Aunt Qian should be, and continued: "We didn't know at the time that the people we besieged were Zhennanhou and Aunt Su." As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Su Wanru. Su Wanru stepped forward and replied: " Yes, we were the ones under siege."
Zhao Zhiang nodded without commenting, "Continue."
Aunt Qian explained the following in detail, "...we followed those people and ran all the time. Although we felt like a hungry dog being hooked with steamed buns, we couldn't help it. The children and the elderly couldn't bear it anymore. Stay here, as long as there is food, let us do whatever you want."
There was a low noise in the crowd, comparing themselves to dogs, in fact, many of them are dogs, even worse than dogs!
"We have been following the dozens of people, and ran up the nameless mountain for no reason. When we realized it, we couldn't go down. They dug a hole and forced us to jump into it. We were afraid that we would run, but we couldn't. I couldn't escape, so I heard the sound of the knife chopping on the bone, and I was afraid, so I had to jump in..."
Aunt Qian burst into tears.
There was a lot of cursing from all around, and someone said: "It's just a beast!"
Zhao Zhiang's face was gloomy.
"All the people who escaped and were killed were thrown back into the pit. Those people started talking and laughing and filling the soil, saying that we would have a good meal after they were buried. I didn't dare to make a sound. I was pressed down by the dead and looked at myself. My fellow countrymen were buried bit by bit, and they didn’t even dare to cry.”
"Later, the Marquis of Zhennan and Aunt Su came." Aunt Qian said, "The Marquis of Zhennan killed those people, and together with Aunt Su and the others, they were digging desperately to save us. The gravel was cut and the hands were covered with blood..."
Xiuniang's hands are the foundation of life and security. Zhao Zhiang looked at Su Wanru, and Su Wanru went forward to spread her hands. The wounds had healed long ago, but the nails on both hands were worn into weird shapes, and there were still scars on the fingers.
"It hurts a lot." Su Wanru said, "The soil is too thick, the people inside are already dead when we scrape it open."
Zhao Zhiang nodded and looked at Aunt Qian.
"We followed the Marquis of Zhennan down the mountain, and just after we walked a little bit, we saw the imperial army rushing to the Wuming Mountain, and after a while, the Wuming Mountain was ablaze." Aunt Qian said: "The Marquis of Zhennan took us back to Dezhou In the city, Aunt Su will accompany us to the clinic, while he will go to Xiang Jun."
Everyone looked at Kong Shunyi, and Kong Shunyi continued, "The Marquis of Zhennan taught us the formation and asked us to go to the Wuming Mountain. He didn't say anything, but asked us to go all out and leave no one alive!"
This is the original words, Shen Zhan really said so at the time.
"This is the tone of the Marquis of Zhennan." Zhao Zhiang said: "It turns out that the five hundred forbidden soldiers died like this."
Kong Shunyi should be.
"I remember that Hujia, the commander of the Dezhou Imperial Army, also brought him back to the capital, right?" Zhao Zhiang asked.
Master Cui replied: "He's dead, he just died in the hospital just now, and died of serious injuries!" Hujia's wound was infected, and it is rare to live to this day.
Zhao Zhiang frowned, but Lord Liao and Lord Du breathed a sigh of relief. Lord Liao took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Hu Jia is dead. It can be said that there is no proof of his death. It all depends on the one-sided words of these people. But they have no household registration and no way to guide them. , no one can prove their status as refugees. Therefore, what they said is very much a pre-set word.”
"Fart!" Zhu Xun pointed at Mr. Liao who was about to strike, and Mr. Liao stepped back quickly, saying in fear, "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands."
Zhu Xun spat, and Su Wanru said, "Then bite him!"
Zhu Xun snorted, and the corners of his mouth trembled, this girl treated him like a second dog.
Master Liao covered his neck, horrified, this woman is nothing short of a hooligan.
"Stop making trouble." Zhao Zhiang stopped and looked at Su Wanru, "Master Liao's words are not bad. There is no household registration in Yanping Mansion. It all depends on their one-sided words. How can they prove that they are refugees and not bandits?"
Aunt Qian felt a chill in her heart, Song Wan lowered her head, looking like she was going to die.
"It's like this..." Su Wanru was about to speak when someone suddenly shouted, "The Marquis of Zhennan is here."
Su Wanru's eyes lit up, and she looked behind the people, and she saw Shen Zhan striding forward, dressed in ink and brocade robes, and his appearance was full of imposing manner, "My lord, although Hu Jia died, the confession written in his own handwriting The book is here."
It doesn't matter whether Hujia is dead or not.
"A confession?" Master Liao and Master Du's expressions changed, "Didn't Hu Jia say that he didn't write a confession?" The two couldn't help but look at Zhu Zeyuan.
Zhu Zeyuan shook his head, he didn't know how there was a confession letter because Shen Zhan didn't interrogate them on the way.
It's over, they've been lied to.
"Bring me to have a look." Zhao Zhiang finally read the confession letter Shen Zhan handed over, and also saw the fingerprints, frowned and said, "Why didn't you show it before?"
Shen Zhan replied: "Earlier, Hujia was dying, and he couldn't write a statement of guilt at all."
"Then why again?" Zhao Zhiang asked.
Shen Zhan replied: "I didn't dare to interrogate because I was afraid that he would die, but I knew that his life would not be saved, so just let him use his remaining energy."
What's the point of this? Seeing that someone is about to die, hurry up and interrogate him.
"How do you prove that this is Hujia's confession?" Master Liao asked.
Shen Zhan suddenly turned his head, looked at the other party, narrowed his eyes, Zhu Xun then said: "How do you prove that you are not a beast but a human being."
"How can you curse people." Master Liao cupped his hands, and said to Zhao Zhiang: "My lord, they bully people too much."
Zhao Zhiang didn't think Zhu Xun scolded people at first, but now he was really annoyed by Master Liao, "It was you who deceived others first, if you are not convinced, then fight him."
"Your Majesty!" Master Liao was speechless. He might as well die if he fought with the general. "The humble minister is only complaining about injustice. The law must emphasize justice."
Zhao Zhiang looked at Shen Zhan.
"There is justice," after Shen Zhan finished speaking, everyone saw a group of tied men in black appearing in the crowd. When Master Liao saw it, he was in a cold sweat.
Six people knelt down, and one was seriously injured. Cui Daren said: "My lord, it is they who entered the cell to kill the witnesses."
"Let them talk." Zhao Zhiang said.
Master Cui replied: "Their jaws have been removed, they are dead soldiers, they will commit suicide!"
Knowing this, Zhao Zhiang looked at Shen Zhan and said, "Let them talk."
Shen Zhan should be, Lu Cheng and Min Wang came up, one of them bit a piece of dagger in his mouth, untied one of them, stripped off his clothes, Min Wang supported the prisoner, Lu Cheng cut the flesh, gouged out a piece from his shoulder, and put it in the place where no one else was. before.
Bloody.
The five people looked terrified and trembling.
And the person who was cut up screamed in pain, his eyes were about to burst.
This is the most painful way to die in the world.
"Woohoo!" Unable to stand being cut, the man kowtowed, his eyes full of despair, Min Wang connected the man's chin and said, "Take it."
The man wept bitterly and kowtowed, "The villain is a dead man raised by Master Liao, and he was ordered by Master Liao to kill and silence him."
As soon as the words came out, there was a restless uproar after the silence of the audience, and everyone's eyes fell on Mr. Liao.
I was surprised to say that I was surprised, but if I said it was normal, it was very normal, because Mr. Liao always made people feel that he was upholding justice and helping the right way in this case.
It turns out that he is evil.
Master Liao shook his head in horror, and fell to the ground with a thud. Master Du was injured and couldn't open his eyes.
As soon as they fell, the crowd scattered all around.
The movements are neat and unified.
"Raise dead soldiers?" Zhao Zhiang couldn't believe it, "Kill people to silence them?"
Master Liao shook his head, "My lord, they are the ones who framed this humble official. This humble official doesn't know anything."
"So many people, why are you alone?" Zhao Zhiang looked at Mr. Liao, "Liao Zhiming, you have been working in Huguang for 11 years. I think you are full of knowledge and talent for governing the country. You have been promoted all the way. You will repay me like this. .”
"Your Majesty, no, no." Master Liao argued, "I really don't know anything."
Zhao Zhiang didn't look at him, stared at Master Du and said: "Du Xiao, I remember you were in Fujian, you led the people to fight against pirates in seven or eight years, and I regret to let you enter Beijing. It seems that you don't know what to do. .”
Zhao Zhiang held the knife in his hand, turned the knife in the palm of his hand, scratched the bluestone slab with a screech, the sound was extremely ear-piercing, he stood up stiffly, and said angrily: "It seems that this matter has something to do with the prefect of Yanping. Is it related? Fortunately, I still praised him for his meritorious service in disaster relief and wanted to promote him to the capital. Now it seems that I took fish eyes as pearls."
Su Wanru slandered, "A dog of a feather!"
"Your Majesty, there are indeed no such people in the household registration book of Yanping Mansion. These people are bandits. Everything was fabricated by the Marquis of Zhennan in order to get rid of the crime of killing innocent people indiscriminately." Master Liao retorted: "My Majesty, You can't listen to what a villain says."
"There are no more than 100 people from Lihuaba in the household registration book of Yanping Mansion. Not only are they absent, but there are also more than 100 households in Yangjia Village and Niujiaao, which are separated by a hill from Lihuaba." Shen Zhan said: "But things are dead things. , People are living people. With so many people disappearing out of thin air, it’s impossible to leave no trace.”
"Your Majesty." Shen Zhan said: "This is a big matter, please send someone to investigate and verify. How can so many human lives be erased casually."
After Shen Zhan finished speaking, a general suddenly shouted: "I believe in the Marquis of Zhennan, please send someone to investigate, and give justice to these unjustly killed people."
"Pray to the Holy One to punish these evil officials severely and give justice to the common people."
Aunt Qian fell to the ground, crying and panting, "I beseech the Lord to be the master for our people in Yanping. Master Zhou of Yanping did not provide disaster relief, and Yanping was still starving and dying. He used all the collected money to fill his own pockets to satisfy his selfish desires, and asked the Lord to be strict with us." check."
"Yes, the three prefectures in the northwest were affected by the disaster, and only Yanping reported that the disaster relief was smooth, while the other two places still had no money and food, and there were countless hungry people. They begged the court for relief." Shen Zhan said: "The prefect of Yanping only said that the disaster was over, but did not say What kind of politics and methods to use is a big doubt."
"Bastard, why do I have such a subject!" Zhao Zhiang felt that he is a king who knows the way, and he attracts talented people. He can win against Su Zhengxing because his ability to lead troops in battle is better than Su Zhengxing's The second reason is that he knows how to use people well, and has countless good and loyal ministers around him.
Now it seems that these are all fake, his courtiers are all wolves in human skin, they don't hesitate to kill the disaster victims and lie about their merits in order to get promoted.Deceive the world, deceive the monarch!
Zhao Zhiang held the knife, his arm was trembling extremely fast.
The big case in Jingzhou is still being investigated secretly, Si Sanbao is still helping him with another corruption case, and now such inhumane things have come out again.
He dragged his knife and walked up to Zhu Zeyuan, and asked, "I'll ask you again, did you instruct Hujia to burn the mountain to kill people that night? What is your relationship with the prefect of Yanping, and what is your relationship with Liao Zhiming and Du Xiao?" .”
"Your Majesty." Zhu Zeyuan knelt on the ground with a thud, "I... I don't know anything."
"Still lying to me." Zhao Zhiang said: "Hu Jia's confession letter clearly states that everything he does is based on your instructions, and you are still playing tricks with me."
Zhu Zeyuan was trembling with fright, hoping that Master Liao would save him, but Master Liao was lying on the ground, trembling all over, so he had no time to control his life or death.
My lord!We... we failed your trust.
Thinking about it, Zhu Zeyuan suddenly stood up, bumped into Zhao Zhiang's knife with a puff, Zhao Zhiang kicked him away, and he fell to the ground like a rag.
He wants to die, and now that one person is responsible for the death, maybe he can save his family's life!
"I'm so angry!" Zhao Zhiang was about to go mad with anger. These people are like pigs and dogs, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Lord Liao and Lord Du with a murderous look, and shouted: "You, who is the master?" Make!"
"It's...it's Weichen." Master Liao said, "Weichen did this to help Master Yanping Zhou."
My lord, the student can only do this. The matter has been exposed, and the student has no face to see you again. I hope to repay your kindness in the next life.
Zhao Zhiang yelled, raised the saber, the saber was swept by the cold wind, and slashed on Master Liao's neck with a puff, then drew the saber, and cut off Master Du's waist with one blow, he said angrily: "No need for the Queen of Autumn, no need for the Meridian Gate , I will do justice for the heavens today, and cut down you scum."
"The Holy One is wise!" Shen Zhan clasped his hands and took the lead in shouting.
Everyone endured their fear, not daring to look at the blood all over the ground, and clasped their hands and followed, chanting, "The Holy One is wise!"
Aunt Qian and the others cried.
Zhao Zhiang's heart was full of anger, he had not drank blood for a long time, and today he was drunk with Qinglong Dao, walking with a clang, "Hang these rebellious officials and thieves on the city gate to show the public comfort to the dead. Then send people to Yanping Mansion to thoroughly investigate the disaster relief. , Arrest the prefect of Yanping and bring him to justice!"
"Yes!" Wang Dahai responded, and led his men to drag the six black men away, and then went to clean up the three corpses and blood.
Zhao Zhiang stopped to look at Kong Shunyi and Aunt Qian, and said, "Go back, all your household registrations will be completed, and I will uphold justice for you."
"Thank you, Majesty!" Aunt Qian and the others supported each other to get up, and then slowly retreated.
Zhao Zhiang suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Zhan, his eyes swept over Zhu Xun again, and finally fell on Su Wanru, angrily said: "You come with me!"
As he spoke, he strode ahead.
