Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 837 Thirty-six Struggle

   Originally, Gao Ping thought this was an ordinary and difficult case, but he didn’t expect to know it now that he received it, what is the ordinary difficulty? It is clear that this case weighs thousands of pounds, but if one is bad, after the case is investigated, whether he can keep his future official position is still a matter of choice.

  Yang Bo was silent for a long time.

   Waited until Gao Ping quietly raised his eyes a little uneasy, then he suddenly lowered his head and said solemnly: "Naturally, what to do is what to do."

   These words are simple, but the meaning contained in them is self-evident. Gao Ping suddenly raised his head and heard Yang Bo say lightly: "It's just a case."

   is just a case.

   Gao Ping was stunned, and when he saw Yang Bo's eyes, he suddenly understood - Yang Shoufu was what he meant on the surface.

   Seeing Yang Shoufu's rare expression, the big stone in Gao Ping's heart disappeared immediately, and he was busy and loud.

   Three days later, Gao Ping opened the court again to question the case. This time, Xu Fengqing, who had been escorted to the capital, was on trial.

The people have been holding back for a long time, waiting to see what the final result will be. As soon as the Ministry of Punishment opened here, the whole street was crowded again, and the other departments adjacent to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment were miserable, and even the minister of the Ministry of Rites had no choice but to Get off the sedan chair and walk, otherwise you won't be able to enter the yamen at all.

  The more lively the battle, the bigger the event, and everyone knows it well.

In the midst of the roar of people, under the gazes of countless eyes, Xu Fengqing was taken to the court located in the square outside the Xingbu Yamen. As soon as he came out, he was blinded by the dazzling sunlight, and subconsciously reached out to block it. Seeing him raising his hand, the official next to him thought he was going to do something, so he hurriedly pushed him. He staggered and stood in front of him, his eyes on Gao Ping who was sitting in front of him.

  The two were officials in the court together, and since they were from fellow villagers, they had some contacts with each other in the early years.

   But now, Gao Ping is a high-ranking scholar, leading a great scholar in the first palace, but he has become a prisoner.

   He pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and stepped forward to salute.

   Although he is guilty, he has not been removed from the official body, and it is reasonable to say that he does not need to kneel.

   Gao Ping did not embarrass him, but just called Zhang Tuiguan to come out, one by one, read the testimony of those kidnappers and the old lady of Juhaizhuang.

The kidnapper has been caught long ago, and he has tried many officials involved in these days. Zhang Tuiguan originally thought that the Xu family was already full of evil, but who knew that these activities in Juhaizhuang were even more difficult to describe. , At this time, when he read it out, his entire scalp was tense, and he was quite gnashing his teeth.

   The people also cooed, as if a spring thunder had been thrown.

   "Is it a human?! Even five or six-year-old children are robbed!" A woman's tears were about to flow out: "And let the parents who don't let the children live?!"

   "Forcing a good person to be a prostitute! In broad daylight, the world is bright and bright, to actually commit such a rebellious thing at the feet of the emperor, **** it, **** it!" A scholar was filled with righteous indignation, rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand to scold Xu Fengqing for helping the emperor to be abusive.

Xu Fengqing was in a trance when he was scolded, and the saliva of the people almost drowned him. It wasn't that he never thought that such a day would come, but when the day came, he couldn't help feeling terrified and painful. .

  As Zhang Tuiguan began to read the testimony of buying murder and killing people, the clamor of the people became louder and louder, and almost all of them were about to overturn the roof.

   Gao Ping slapped the gavel savagely, shouted silence several times, and let the official shout again, and the scene stabilized.

  Xu Fengqing was already in cold sweat and her face was pale.

Gao Ping glanced over him with cold and disgusting eyes, and shouted loudly: "Xu Fengqing! Mrs. Chen testified that you colluded with Juhaizhuang, condoned the kidnappers to buy and sell people, facilitated the kidnappers under her own rule, and even beat the people who lost their children. A meal, can you admit it?!"

  Xu Fengqing's eyes straightened, the things he had done were now repeated again and again by others in front of so many people, and even he himself felt that he was extremely sinful.

  For ten years, he also warned himself to be a good official when he was an official.

  But why did it come this far?

   His throat was sore, and even his tongue seemed difficult to move.

   After a while, his mouth was full of rust, and he nodded with difficulty: "Xiaguan is guilty."

   This is an admission!

The people below    immediately boiled, and an old man in his 50s or 60s jumped up and shouted: "God officer! Dog officer!"

  Xu Fengqing didn't dare to dodge, didn't dare to argue, and stood there with a pale face, like a scorched tree.

   Gao Ping squeezed the jingtang wood in his hand and sneered: "Thank you for being a scholar who reads sages' books and listens to sages' words, you also have the face to be the parents of the common people!"

  Since Xu Fengqing recognized both condoning kidnappers and buying murderers, Gao Ping saw that the clerk had already recorded them all, so he asked Xu Fengqing to sign it.

   When the piece of paper was brought in front of him, it was a thin sheet. Gao Ping looked at it, for some reason, he just felt that he couldn't read a single word on it, and his eyes were blurred.

   After a while, he drew a bet on it.

   "Alas!" At this time, Mr. Wang, who was sitting in the elegant room of Baoding Building, was saying to Mr. Cui, "The evidence is conclusive, and there is no room for manipulation. Xu Fengqing is sure to die."

   Xu Fengqing was sure to die, and Mr. Cui didn't care at all.

   After all, although they are allies, there are many types of allies, such as Xu Fengqing, who should have been abandoned.

He looked straight at Lord Wang in front of him, reached out and poured him a cup of tea: "I don't know what they want us to do over there? Can't affect the result, in that case"

  In this case, what can I do by sending a letter to Princess Fenyang?

Not to mention that Princess Fenyang has already lost her goodwill in front of Emperor Yuanfeng because of the incidents that have been caused one after another, and now the days are sad, even if the Fenyang Palace was in its heyday, the Fenyang King was still there. When encountering such a big case, I think It is even more difficult to reach out and play a role in it.

   Lord Wang lowered his eyes and shook his head: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Cui, the seventh master has no other intentions. We all know about this situation now. We just hope that things can stop in moderation and don't spread further until Juhaizhuang."

   After all, if we continue to investigate, we must find out the seventh master Bai, and if we find out the seventh master Bai, the identity of the seventh master must be involved.
