The emperor issued a decree, and Wang Zhongyi's case was transferred from the Ministry of Punishment to the Delinquent Yamen for trial.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion between the government and the public.
Where are the bad guys? It was an organization set up to supervise the officials. Compared to the Ministry of Punishment, which is responsible for the justifiable responsibilities of criminal interrogation, the bad guys seem to be a little too outside the criminal law system of the Zhou Dynasty.
But maybe this is what His Majesty wants?
All in all, Emperor Xianlong was determined after eating the weights. No matter how the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty jumped up and down, this decree would never be changed.
Didn't Feng Hao want to interrogate Wang Zhongyi, so he gave him a chance.
However, for Wang Zhongyi, the person involved, the mood has changed a lot.
He knows best what kind of yamen a bad person is. Once he enters there, no matter how wronged he is, he can be beaten into submission. The key is to see whether the bad person wants to be dealt with fairly.
But for Wang Zhongyi, this is already a fait accompli. Since he can't refuse, he might as well lie down.
...
...
When Zhao Xun learned that Wang Zhongyi, the governor of Shuozhou, had been transferred from the prison of the Ministry of Punishments to the Delinquents' Yamen, he felt ecstatic in his heart.
He obviously underestimated Feng Hao's strength. Feng Hao's father is really too strong, so strong that it is enviable.
Will Zhao Xun have the chance to become such a strong man one day? Can he change the situation of the government and change the direction of important events by himself?
Zhao Xun knows that if you want to be successful in any era, there are three important points.
One is to have strong abilities.
If your ability is too low, you will only be able to flatter someone, and it will be of no use to you no matter how much you try to play both sides.
The second is to be thick-skinned.
Thick-skinned people can do many things that ordinary people cannot do, and they can often maintain strong suppression.
The third is to have a background.
Needless to say, this goes without saying. After all, anyone in power wants to use their own people and acquaintances. It is relatively safe to use acquaintances.
As long as one of these three points is occupied, it is very likely to get ahead.
Zhao Xun barely took three.
So if he can't get out, God will look down on him.
Of course, what he needs to consider now is how to peel off the cocoons and find out the truth about the Wang Zhongyi case.
This matter is not only about the appointment and dismissal of a Shuozhou Jiedu envoy, but also about the imperial court's attitude towards Shuozhou officialdom.
If it is true as the official who impeached and prosecuted Wang Zhongyi said, Shuozhou is now Wang Zhongyi's hall, and if he knows that there is a governor but does not know that there is an emperor, there will definitely be a bloody storm next.
Politics is never pure, but contains many private things.
It's nothing more than one faction using high-sounding reasons to kill the other faction, and then arrange for their own people to take over.
At first, Zhao Xun was also carried away by anger, but when he calmed down, he felt that things could never be that simple.
Everything happened so coincidentally and suddenly, as if someone had arranged it in advance, and someone would detonate it at every point.
Now among the criminal yamen, Zhao Xun is the person most favored by Feng Hao, so even though he was caught drinking and exposed last time, Feng Hao still chose to let Zhao Xun handle the case this time.
The way this piece works is a bit unpredictable, but it always brings surprises.
What Feng Hao needs now is not a routine investigation, what he needs now is to stay silent and die without surprising, what he needs now is a ground-breaking discovery.
Now that things have come to this, we definitely can't worry about offending others.
The meaning of bad people's existence is to do things for the emperor, no matter how many courtiers they offend.
...
...
Zhao Xun brought a roast leg of lamb to the prison for delinquents.
The roasted leg of lamb was sent by Wangcai from Lanyue Pavilion. It was shiny and juicy when roasted.
The reason why Zhao Xun brought roasted lamb legs to Dalao was because he knew that people who had been stationed at the border for a long time liked this food.
It's a pity that the prison cell still has many restrictions, otherwise Zhao Xun really wanted to bring a roasted whole lamb to Wang Zhongyi.
In his opinion, the most important thing for Wang Zhongyi to be honest with each other is sincerity.
As long as Zhao Xun sincerely reveals himself to Wang Zhongyi, Wang Zhongyi will slowly let down his guard and tell Zhao Xun some useful information.
As for the arguments of the imperial censor, Zhao Xun didn't believe a word of them, but at least he didn't believe them all.
"Sir Wang, I am the bad guy Qingpao Zhao Xun, who is responsible for hearing this case. When we first met, I brought a leg of lamb as a gift."
Outside the cell, Zhao Xun put his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.
Regardless of whether he was in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment or a prison cell for delinquents, the cell where Wang Zhongyi was imprisoned was a single room.
This is the rule for treating senior officials, there is nothing more to say.
But this lamb leg surprised Wang Zhongyi.
"How do you know that I like to eat lamb legs?"
"Isn't this simple? Mr. Wang has been stationed at the border for a long time, and Shuozhou borders Mobei. There is an endless prairie there. The prairie is covered with green grass, and there are countless cattle and sheep..."
Zhao Xun felt that his ability to depict images was really strong, and the sense of the image came out immediately.
"Different from the Central Plains, the eating habits there prefer to eat meat, especially beef and mutton. So there should be no doubt that Mr. Wang likes to eat mutton legs."
Wang Zhongyi nodded slightly and agreed with Zhao Xun's explanation.
"But I can't figure out why a bad guy would send a mere green robe to interrogate me."
Then Wang Zhongyi suddenly changed the subject, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
This is also normal.
In the feudal dynasty, equality of position was emphasized, even in interrogations.
After all, Wang Zhongyi was also a military governor. In his opinion, the person who interrogated him should be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the bad commander. But in the end, it was only a Qingpao who came forward.
The official position system of bad people is very clear. In addition to the bad commanders who are at the top, there are four categories below them: purple robes, scarlet robes, green robes and white robes.
Apart from Bai Pao, Qing Pao is the lowest status delinquent, but Bai Pao is a helper, that is, a temporary worker.
No wonder Wang Zhongyi felt unhappy.
This discomfort can be felt through the prison door.
Zhao Xun was not in a hurry to answer, but asked Wang Zhongyi a question.
"Master Wang, what do you think is the most important thing when living in Chang'an?"
"Of course it's ability. Only those with ability can establish themselves in Chang'an."
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "That's it. Because I have the strongest ability, Master Feng will send me to try the case."
Wang Zhongyi had a dark look on his face and was almost choked by Zhao Xun.
In fact, Zhao Xun had a trick in asking this, because no matter what Wang Zhongyi's answer was, he could answer it immediately.
Wang Zhongyi thinks ability is important, and Zhao Xun can say that he is very capable.
Wang Zhongyi felt that family background was important, and Zhao Xun could say that he had a very deep background.
Wang Zhongyi thinks appearance is important, Zhao Xun can say that he is so handsome that it makes people go numb.
