Chapter 108 Cheng Yu and Wen Xiangye
Qin Lei can speak nonsense in the lobby of Kyoto Mansion, but it does not mean that he can still be in the Imperial Study room.
Today is the third day of solving the case within a deadline. The four presiding officials of the Zhongdu arson case came outside the imperial study room early in the morning to wait for the trip.
After waiting for half an hour, the eunuch inside opened the door and came out to discover the news.
After the four of them paid homage to Emperor Zhaowu, they saluted to the Prime Minister and the Taiwei sitting on both sides. When the four of them stood still, Prime Minister Wen said, "Today, the emperor only wants to know the truth. Don't show your eyes here if you make something to fool people."
The four of them said in unison: "Yes." After looking at each other, Xie Zhiyan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, went out to speak respectfully: "According to the Prime Minister's order, the case is not complicated. It was caused by His Highness Wuyong's rushing to the palace, which caused the servants of the two palaces to bounce back and set fire."
Li Hunniu glared at the eyes and cursed: "Speak something fresh." The old lieutenant who was sleepy when he went to court was very energetic in the imperial study.
Xie Zhiyan was not unfamiliar with the Taiwei, nor was he panicked, and continued to say in an orderly manner: "Abide by the Taiwei order. After investigation by the old clerk in our department who was specializing in criminal investigation, he found a large amount of ashes after the burning of oil on the spot. It was then inferred that the fire in Kyoto was fueled by someone. It can even be said that even if the servants of the two palaces did not light the fire without authorization, someone would do it for them."
Emperor Zhaowu, who had been silent, spoke out: "Did the third and fourth brothers participate in this matter?" This is what he cares most about. Even if his heart is bright, he still hopes that Xie Zhiyan can say to him: "No."
Looking at His Majesty's expectant eyes, he looked at the Prime Minister with his light. Seeing his fingers hitting his knees twice, Mr. Xie's face turned pale suddenly. He lowered his head and whispered: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Lei stepped out and said, "Father, my son has something to say."
Li Hun narrowed his eyes and said, "The court also needs to talk about coming first and then coming. The fifth prince will wait until Xiao Xie finishes talking."
Qin Lei thought to himself that he would be finalized after he finished speaking. He smiled and bowed to Li Hun, "I will just say one thing." Li Hun stopped saying this.
Qin Lei bowed to Emperor Zhaowu again and said, "Father, the third brother was having a gathering with his sons in Wanlilou on the day of the incident, and the fourth brother was also out to visit friends. The eldest brother's attack was without warning, so they had no way to plan this matter at all. Even if a palace servant set fire to him privately, it would not be possible to ignite several internal and external houses..."
The old marquis was reluctant and shouted, "Are you talking about the fire that Qin Li set?"
Qin Lei kept silent, and Li Hun said angrily: "Why don't you talk anymore!"
Qin Lei said with a bitter look on his face: "You only allow Xiao Wang to say one thing, for fear that he will disobey the Taiwei if he says too much."
Li Hun was also a fierce man. He smiled instead of anger and said, "I forgot it, so your highness can stop the voice."
Qin Lei nodded, really returned to the train, and kept silent.
Li Hun said to Emperor Zhaowu: "Your Majesty, Qin Li is the one who is ordered by me to arrest the fugitive who forged seals. He is not going to rob the house. He will never set fire to the house. He must have framed the house."
When Qin Lei heard this, he couldn't help but envy the boss. He had such a grandfather who protected his son. Thinking about his careful and afraid that the Shen family's grandfather, who was afraid that both sides would be too close, couldn't help but feel frustrated. He was obviously very nervous about him, but why did he look like a thief? Qin Lei couldn't understand the truth.
At this time, Emperor Zhaowu pondered and said, "Framed? It's not impossible. Qin Shouzhuo, what do you think?"
The Qin prefect said with a solemn look: "Your Majesty is very true, and I think the possibility of frame-up is the greatest."
Wen Prime Minister sitting on the right stared at the righteous and arrogant prefect Qin with a smile, making the old soy sauce look scary, and then said leisurely: "Who Lord Qin thinks is framed?"
Qin Shouzhuo pondered slightly and said, "It's possible in several places. The official also asked the prime minister to help break through the fog."
Prime Minister Wen nodded and said, "It's really confusing. You can press this matter first and not mention it." Then he said to Zhou Shaoqing, who had been standing like a clay sculpture, "Donald Wei, you are familiar with the laws of the Qin Dynasty. Let's see what responsibilities should the three high men bear?"
Zhou Weigong bowed and said, "When the Prime Minister, the Grand Highness sent troops to the palace, he committed the crime of trespassing into the palace and provoking trouble. According to the law, he was 80 sticks and was sent to three thousand miles. The Third and Fourth Highnesses committed the crime of not being strict in discipline and committing slaves. According to the law, he was 20 sticks and fined 2,000 taels. In addition, the losses of the Kyoto fire amounted to about 1,400 taels of official silver, which should be shared by the two highnesses."
Seeing that his father was not good-looking, Qin Lei stepped forward and smiled calmly and said, "The Gu Wang Gui is a member of the Youzong of the Zongren Mansion. After the trial of the four churches, he will punish the royal relatives who committed the crime according to the crimes and blames all the masters. It will not take any trouble to Lord Zhou."
Zhou Weigong looked at Prime Minister Wen with his light and saw his fingers knocking on his knees twice. He complained in his heart, but he refused to let him say, "If the clan mansion can compensate for the compensation on behalf of his nobles, it is not bad to hand over the case to your mansion. Prime Minister, what do you think?" After all, he was still guilty and had to raise the banner of his throne.
Prime Minister Wen smiled and said, "Good."
Qin Lei didn't blink for a moment and simply said, "Document."
All rooms were shocked.
Since Mr. Qin came to this world, although he had never seen a tael of silver, he had bribed million taels. In addition, he still owed the Shen family more than three million taels. For sure, he thought that it would be fine for the royal family to take out a 10 or 20 million taels of silver.
Didn’t a predecessor say: “The problems that can be solved with money in this world are not problems”?
But when he saw Emperor Zhaowu's appearance as if he was lost, he knew something was wrong and wanted to change his words. How could Prime Minister Wen let him do what he wanted? He said quietly in front of Qin Lei: "There is no joke in front of you. Your Highness Prince Long has made a military order. Within three months, I hope to see this silver in the treasury."
Emperor Zhaowu's face changed and cursed Qin Lei in his heart for not knowing the importance of it, but he didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Qin Lei glared at the prime minister innocently and said in a daze: "The Lonely King is just talking about his personal name, why is there no joke before becoming the Lord?"
The Prime Minister's face was stagnant. As one of the thickest people in the world at that time, he actually felt a sense of admiration for Qin Lei's thick skin.
The old marquis asked Qin Gong in a low voice, "There are still people who call this name?"
Qin Shouzhuo whispered: "Cheng Chuang is the younger brother of Qin Shihuang."
Li Hun asked strangely: "What does Qin Xiaowu mean to mention this name?"
Qin Shouzhuo smiled bitterly in his heart. What's the point? It's nonsense. He had to grit his teeth and explain to the Taiwei: "Eight years after King Zheng of Qin ascended the throne, Cheng Chuang was killed in rebellion. The fifth prince mentioned this person, probably because he hoped that the Prime Minister would not force him too much." After that, he had to wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Li Hun suddenly said 'ah' and said rudely: "Aren't there a traitor named Lu Buwei at that time? I don't know who is more traitorous to our prime minister Wen."
