549 Rumors Are Unbelievable
Where did the huge family property of those adults at Yushitai come from? This is an issue that Song Jue must pay close attention to. It is something that the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple should investigate. The relationship with border guards like Shen Haolin and Shen Cha No, they themselves didn't really want to get involved in this kind of thing. Even Bai Meng took an evasive approach and never mentioned the matter again after handing the list to Song Jue.
Despite this, they were able to understand the progress of this case in a timely manner. After all, the amount of embezzlement was so large, which was a rare thing in Daxia. All eyes were fixed on it, wanting to see how Song Jue would deal with these things. Bold people.
The ministers of the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, the chief minister, and the Yushitai, who are always fond of gossiping, have long-standing grievances. Although it is not a public revenge, the methods during interrogation will definitely be much harsher than those used against others. , without any regard for the fact that they were once colleagues.
Shadow Thirteen took the time to visit Dali Temple. When he came back to retell the story with Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Song Qiyun and Bai Meng, he couldn't help but sigh. It's not like those people in Dali Temple don't know how to ask about the case, nor do they have no means. , didn’t you manage the censors obediently this time? Everyone rushed to admit their own problems, for fear of falling behind others and having something bad happen to them.
Because of the active cooperation of the censors, the corruption case that shocked the Great Xia court was revealed in just two days. However, the truth shocked everyone.
"Being hired by someone to fabricate rumors about important officials in the court? To get huge rewards?"
After the morning court meeting, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were kept by Song Jue, who handed them the confessions of the adults. After the two of them read it, they were all confused and had no idea what the meaning of this was.
"Why would anyone be willing to spend this money to discredit others? Just because the censor speaks without scruples and does not need to take responsibility?" Shen Cha shook his head gently, "Where is the employer? Who is it? It should be someone from the court, right? Bar?"
"Most of them are." Song Jue sighed heavily, "I always thought that these adults are people who have read poetry and books and are rich in economics, and would not do such nasty and dirty things. Unexpectedly, I am still a high-ranking person. I have estimated them. For their own benefit, they can really think of any tricks and do anything."
"There are many reasons for smearing and spreading rumors, ranging from different opinions to as small as servants in the other party's house taking away the things they wanted to buy." The more Shen Haolin read, the more absurd he felt, "There are also those who are popular because they have good brothers. Yes, you have to break it up for someone’s good brothers, and you also want to make up a confidante for one of them to ruin someone’s reputation? What kind of stuff is this? Is this how the Yushitai monitors officials? It’s really eye-opening!”
"Who says it's not the case? I thought they just thought they were aloof and couldn't stand this or that, so they went to the ginseng people every day." Song Jue smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that the truth turned out to be like this. People in the market Those rumors actually have something to do with them." He shook his head gently, "I am an emperor, and I really failed!"
"Your Majesty, this is not your fault." Seeing the expression on Shen Cha's face, Eunuch Pan nodded slightly, took two steps towards Song Jue, and comforted him, "It's not you who forced them to do such immoral things. Of course, people who believe these rumors may not have very good minds."
"That's right, it's just the Yushitai...it's time to put things in order. Maybe we can find out some shameful things."
"People's trust in Yushitai will gradually decrease. The mainstay of Yushitai colluded with Jin Guoxin, and several active adults in Yushitai accepted huge sums of money to discredit their colleagues..." Shen Haolin Shaking his head, "The image of Yushitai in the hearts of the people will plummet."
"They deserve this and they don't deserve sympathy." Song Jue sneered, "When they started choosing this path, they should have thought that they would end up like this. But, I have never understood it. I also feel sorry for the ministers. It’s not harsh treatment, and their salary is not low either. How about bending one’s waist and doing such an immoral thing just for money?”
"About..." Shen Cha took the lotus leaf soup that Eunuch Cui had just brought back from the imperial kitchen, thanked him, and continued, "It's not for the money."
"Not for the money?"
Song Jue picked through the food box and took out a bowl of sugar-flavored steamed cheese. Originally, this was what Shen Cha wanted to eat, but he had to avoid eating it for the past two days, so he had no choice but to give it up and give it to Song Jue at a cheaper price.
Bai Meng always said that Song Jue deserved to be beaten, and that he was particularly good at being good when he got an advantage. He stood up with the steamed cheese, walked over to Shen Cha and sat down, waved the steamed cheese in front of her, and gave him a wicked smile.
"Is it very fragrant? Do you really want to eat it?"
"The master chef in the Imperial Kitchen is much more skilled in craftsmanship, but..." Shen Cha curled her lips, "It's still far behind Miaomiao!" She glanced at the bowl of steamed cheese in Song Jue's hand, very objectively. He put forward his own suggestion, "Well, the color is not pure white enough. It should be because the early steps were not done well and the condensation was not good enough. Maybe the heat was not mastered and it needs to be improved."
"Little tea..." Song Jue was completely defeated by this serious evaluation. He put the steamed cheese on the table, across the heavy tea, and sighed towards Shen Haolin who took a bowl of japonica rice porridge, "I..."
"How many times have you been hit, and you still don't have a long memory?" Shen Haolin didn't sympathize with him at all, "Hurry up and eat your steamed cheese, it will be even worse when it gets cold!"
"You two are really..." Song Jue shook his head and lamented his miserable life. He was surrounded by people with such poisonous tongues who would choke people to death without repaying their lives. At the same time, he also lamented that if it weren't for this group of people, he would probably be killed by those people. The ministers were so angry. "Xiao Cha just said that they were not doing it for the money, but to satisfy some unknown quirks of their own?"
"Money is convenient. You can do something that makes you feel comfortable, and you can make money at the same time. It's the best of both worlds. Why not?" Shen Cha took two mouthfuls of lotus leaf soup and put down the spoon in his hand. "How many of them are there?" It can be considered a small group. Some people are responsible for accepting sales, some are responsible for conceiving the outline, some are responsible for polishing, and some are responsible for reviewing. The money obtained is distributed to everyone according to the pre-agreed commission. But occasionally one or two of them , they will also be accepted privately by their companions." She turned over two pages and found the middle of the third page. "Their first deal was to smear a captain named Qian in the patrol camp. The employer was because of his relationship with him. There were some minor disputes, and I knew one of the censors, and the two people's prejudices against warriors were surprisingly consistent, so..."
"So we hit it off immediately, and the first time will lead to a second time. The previous slanders are well-documented and have traces to follow. But the last few times, they are basically fabricated out of thin air and empty-handed rumors! "Song Jue let out a long sigh, "You don't know that several ministers in the cabinet are really angry with them. Mr. Qiao has taught several of them. When he saw this confession, he immediately It's over."
"The old man is quite old, why is he still so angry?" Shen Haolin also sighed, "It's not worth it to make yourself angry for these scumbags."
"Who says it's not the case!" Song Jue finished his steamed cheese in three gulps, "Is everything going smoothly over there?"
"It didn't go well." Shen Cha shook his head, "They are in the fake business because they are worried that their employer will change their mind, so they have a backup plan."
"Is there more than one copy of the letter from that year?"
"Yes! Although we found another copy, it is different from the one sealed by the Ministry of Punishment. It will still take time to confirm that it was written by the same person." Shen Cha touched his chin, "But Wan Yanping's side There is good news coming."
"Took the bait?"
"Well, I've been tortured so badly by nightmares." Shen Cha nodded, "Now I've ordered people to build a Buddhist temple in the palace, saying that I want to pray for the people of the Jin Kingdom. But it's not true as she said, or God knows, The earth knows it, she knows it, and we know it.”
