Chapter 72 Murder and Punishment

 In fact, Lu Gongzhu was not absent by chance. At this time, he was in the Ministry of Justice, quarreling with his colleagues.

Otherwise, Li Kai would not be willing to hold on to Kaifeng Mansion alone.

Today's Kaifeng Mansion is really like hell!

It turns out that Wang Wenshan went to the Ministry of Punishment to complain that the Kaifeng Mansion was too biased towards Zhang Fei. He checked this and that, but when did it end!

This also caused dissatisfaction among many ministers, so they put pressure on Kaifeng Prefecture.

But Lu Gongzhu is also a tough guy. He said that he was protecting Wang Sinong's reputation.

In the hall, there are so many people listening. If the Kaifeng Mansion does not investigate, what will they think?

Most people would think that their officials protect each other.

Not probably, but definitely.

Zhang Fei will definitely go to Dali Temple to sue, because this is a case that has been tried by the Kaifeng Prefecture, and he is qualified to file a lawsuit against Dali Temple.

That kid lives in Xu Zun’s house!

If Dali Temple finds evidence, then Mr. Lu will be embarrassed. The key is that he also knows the fishy nature of Li Siyi's case.

Lu Gongzhu has also been honest all his life, and he is not willing to fall into this trap, which will endanger his future.

So even though Xu Zong never interfered in Zhang Fei's affairs, he provided great help to Zhang Fei. His presence meant that he left a way out for Zhang Fei.

Without Xu Zun, Zhang Fei would not have been so noisy.

The quarrel is still going on here, but news comes from Kaifeng Mansion over there that there is also a problem at Sinong Temple, which is also related to this case.

This incriminating letter is even more detailed. It records very detailed events and how they specifically operated.

Judging from the current situation, this news will inevitably detonate the court.

However, not only did it not detonate, the DPRK and China calmed down.

Because of this clue, the ministers in the DPRK and China realized that someone behind Zhang Fei was supporting him. This was not a simple lawsuit where people sued the officials, but a political struggle.

They didn't dare to act rashly until they knew who the enemy was!

.....

Wangfu.

"Are they afraid?"

Wang Wenshan looked at Guan Zhen angrily.

That’s it?

Are you afraid of a trumped-up accusation?

Guan Zhen sighed, "Wang Sinong, calm down and listen to my explanation."

After a pause, he explained: "This matter is not as simple as it seems. Wang Sinong should also be aware of Zhang San's charges. It is impossible to obtain this information by Zhang San alone. It can be seen that someone in the court is secretly helping Zhang

Three."

Wang Wenshan said excitedly: "No need to say this, it must have been done by Xu Zun."

Guan Zhen shook his head and said: "Xu Zun has only returned to Beijing for a few months. Even if he knows, he cannot know so clearly. Dali Temple does not care about these things."

Wang Wenshan frowned, "In your opinion, who did this?"

"It's not clear yet." Guan Zheng said: "That's why everyone dare not speak out. The key point is that the Kaifeng government insists on investigating, but if it really needs to be investigated, I'm afraid the case will become more complicated."

"That's why I...!"

Halfway through his words, Wang Wenshan was startled and looked at Guan Zhen in horror.

Guan Zhen did not dare to look directly into his eyes, lowered his head and sighed: "The best way at the moment is to let Wang Sinong go somewhere to avoid the limelight for a while, and then come back after the limelight passes."

"What did you say?"

Wang Wenshan had a ferocious expression on his face, "I, the dignified chief of Sinong Temple, was driven out of the capital by an Erbi man. How can I have the dignity to come back?"

Very much like Chen Yuteng back then.

Guan Zheng said: "You didn't lose to Zhang San, you lost to the person behind Zhang San. Alas... Wang Sinong really shouldn't have gone to court with Zhang San in the first place. That was what he was good at. But we also have our own Even if he tries a hundred times, he can't kill us, but as long as we catch him once, he will definitely die. Wang Sinong must not act on his own initiative!"

Wang Wenshan opened his eyes angrily and stared at Guan Zhen, his whole body trembling. After a while, he closed his eyes and sighed, slumping down on the chair, "What are you going to do?"

Guan Jidao: "We will report to His Majesty that Wang Sinong is impeached for interfering with the administration of justice, and that this case has had a great negative impact on the court. It should be ended as soon as possible, and it should not continue like this."

After Wang Wenshan heard this, his face was full of reluctance, "Is there no other way?"

Guan Zheng said: "This is the safest way. At present, the enemy is hiding and we are hiding. If we continue to be entangled in this case, it will be detrimental to everyone. Is it really worth it for a mere Erbi person?"

Wang Wenshan suddenly looked at Chen Yu, who had been silent next to him.

Chen Yu glanced at Wang Wenshan with a guilty look on her face and sighed silently.

This is no longer Wang Wenshan’s personal case, but involves the entire Sinong Temple. If we pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, if we really investigate, God knows what the result will be.

The key is not to know what the enemy in the dark is planning.

Officialdom is not about winning by surprise, but about stability, keeping the green hills, and not afraid of running out of firewood. No one is willing to compete with Wang Wenshan, because it is not worth it.

Wang Wenshan never thought that he would lose so miserably.

After all, this was just a small case, but he also lost in this small case. It was precisely because it was too small that the courtiers felt it was not worth it.

Wang Wenshan sighed, "Okay!"

......

After convincing Wang Wenshan, the discussion in the court began to change. Within three days, Song Shenzong received more than ten petitions, all criticizing Wang Wenshan.

Regardless of the truth, Wang Wenshan also has an unshirkable responsibility for the matter to reach this point. He should not have gone to see Zhang Fei privately while the Li Siyi case was still under investigation. This has constituted the crime of interfering with justice and is a violation of the law.

.

At the same time, if the case continues to be investigated, it will be protracted, and this will cause great damage to the court's prestige and reputation. Therefore, they implore the court to immediately accuse Wang Wenshan, demote him to Tokyo, and end the case.<

/p>

Today, Song Shenzong, as usual, summoned Wang Anshi to the palace to ask for advice.

After talking about current affairs, Song Shenzong suddenly asked: "Sir, what do you think of Wang Sinong's case?"

Wang Anshi said: "I also think that the case should be closed as soon as possible."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Song Shenzong said: "But I think that many of them have guilty consciences!"

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "I also know, but continuing to investigate will only force them to fight to the death and may make the case more complicated. However, this case has attracted the attention of many people. If the people see the imperial court

If the minister is so unbearable, it will indeed affect the prestige and reputation of the court."

Although he also hates evil, he still needs to have some overall perspective when he is in a high position. If this case continues, it will also interfere with his reform, and his reform is also to solve these problems. That is the root solution. This is

The case was brought to an end, but nothing could be solved.

Song Shenzong sighed heavily, "But if this continues, how can we talk about the prosperity of the country?"

Wang Anshi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's foresight is a blessing to the country. I believe that if we want to change it, we can only change it from the root. A single case will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

At this point, he changed the topic and said: "However, the director of Sinong Temple, Chang Pingcang, is involved in disaster relief matters in various places. If it is controlled by people with evil intentions, the consequences will be disastrous. Now it seems that this Sinong Temple

The internal situation is already corrupt and must be rectified."

Song Shenzong understood as soon as he heard this and asked: "I wonder if you have a suitable candidate, sir."

Wang Anshi immediately said: "I think Lu Huiqing is a good candidate. I entrusted him with the house tax matter. He also performed very well and handled the complicated official affairs in an orderly manner.

The official affairs of Sinong Temple are also very complicated, so I think he is a very suitable candidate."

Sinong Temple is crucial to his reform. If he can seize the opportunity to capture it, God will really help him.

Song Shenzong nodded.

.....

The next day, Song Shenzong summoned Lu Gongzhu to the palace, saying that Zhang Sanyi's case had seriously affected the daily official affairs of Kaifeng Mansion and the image of court officials. He also said that Wang Wenshan had not evaded it in time and was suspected of interfering with the administration of justice.

, so much so that it caused today's disaster, so we planned to send him to Jiangzhou as a general judge.

In the Song Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats could not be punished, and if they did not make serious mistakes, they would be demoted to serve as officials in other places.

Lu Gongzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

Lu Gongzhu is also tired. Even now, he feels that there is no sense of justice in this case. Although Zhang Fei is the victim, but unlike the Ayun and Li Si cases, this time Zhang Fei has done some evil things.

It's full of lies. The lawsuit will be filed today and will be filed tomorrow. This is obviously not to seek justice, but to retaliate against Wang Wenshan.

Close the case quickly!

Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty issued an imperial edict on that day, demoting Wang Wenshan to Jiangzhou as a general judge for his misconduct, interference with justice, and knowing and breaking the law.

This charge of "interfering with justice" is very particular. You can think that Wang Wenshan coerced Zhang Fei and took revenge, which is interference with justice, but you can also think that he just met Zhang Fei in private.

This can be regarded as a reasonable conclusion to the case.

Xu Mansion.

"What?"

Zhang Fei said depressedly: "It's over now, I haven't had all the fun yet!"

Xu Zun asked: "What else do you want?"

Zhang Fei said nonchalantly: "I just think this punishment is a little too light. I was beaten up, but in exchange for the murderer's expense traveling?"

Travel at public expense?

Xu Zun said angrily and amusedly: "Even if it is proven that he instigated someone to beat you, this is the punishment, and besides, you can't prove it."

Zhang Fei said: "What about selling your official position to get a title, embezzling and accepting bribes?"

Xu Zun sighed and remained silent.

Wang Wenshan is pretty good. There are people who are more greedy than him. Do you want to sue him?

The nature of the housekeeping in the shop is similar to that of Sinong Temple. After Wang Anshi took over, didn't he just let bygones be bygones?

In fact, upright ministers like Wei Zheng and Bao Zheng also made political compromises.

"It's great to be an official!"

Zhang Fei sighed with emotion and said: "My dear friend, I wonder when Wang Wenshan will leave Beijing?"

Xu Zun said in surprise: "Why do you ask this?"

Zhang Fei said: "I'm going to humiliate him."

Xu Zun frowned and said, "Is that so?"

Gentlemen are particular about the point.

In his opinion, this is already very difficult.

Zhang Fei said truthfully: "Otherwise, I can't let go of the bad breath in my heart."

You've already reached this point, do you still care about stepping on it one more time?

......

Early this morning, Zhang Fei came to the south gate to witness the results of his victory with his own eyes.

Wang Wenshan stared at Zhang Fei with his eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive, "I really made a mistake this time!"

Zhang Fei said: "You are not mistaken, you are stupid. I remember I reminded Wang Sinong that your porcelain cannot hit my tiles. My attitude at the time was very serious, but Wang Sinong didn't take it to heart. No,

Wang Tongpan."

"You..." Wang Wenshan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "Don't be arrogant, kid, I will come back."

The civil servants of the Northern Song Dynasty were good at this. They could not die in Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years.

Zhang Fei raised a smile on his lips and said: "Now that you are trying to trick me, do you think you will still have a chance in three years? Besides, I don't think you can come back, after all, you are already at your age."
Wang Wenshan was shocked and said: "How can you say this? Who instigated you?"

Zhang Fei smiled profoundly: "Have a good journey. Goodbye, no, never again."

After saying this, he turned around and left.

He wants to leave the seeds of fear in Wang Wenshan's heart. This is the purpose of his coming here.

Just after passing a corner, I suddenly heard a laugh, "You kid is really murderous!"

Zhang Fei turned his head and looked, it was Sima Guang.
