While Qi Yi was busy arresting people, Dun Ruo took a piece of parchment to Xianyang Palace and met with Ying Zheng.
Dunwei looked calm.
But if you look closely, you can see that his body is trembling.
His parchment contains a lot of things, and involves countless officials. In the past ten years, many officials have protected Huang Sheng's adultery, and what he investigated was not only related to Huang Sheng, but also other officials.
Few people.
For example.
Huang! Xu!
A look of solemnity appeared in Dunwei's eyes.
He didn't even know how this would end.
There are too many people involved!
After taking a deep breath, the towering Xianyang Palace was already in front of him.
He entered the temple.
Paying homage:
"I'm sorry to see you, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng glanced at him indifferently and raised his head slightly: "How did the investigation go when I asked you to investigate it?"
He bowed weakly and respectfully and said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"I have found out something."
Finished.
After a moment of weakness, he raised the parchment in his hand high, and immediately a eunuch came to take the parchment.
soon.
This parchment was presented to the big case.
Looking at the inch-thick parchment, Ying Zheng's eyes showed a stern look. He did not open it in a hurry, but said coldly: "Tell me about it, I don't care about those petty officials, I just want to know what happened.
How many courtiers were involved?"
"Let me have some idea in my mind."
He said in a weak voice:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"I investigated Huang Sheng's cover-up case and found out ten courtiers, including five from the Imperial Palace, two from the Prime Minister's Palace, two from the Shaofu, one from the Zhisu Neishi Palace, and the rest were officials involved.
A few."
"Among them, the one with the highest official position should be Huang Jingxiu."
"The second is the censor."
"Then there are some orders from various government offices, Cheng."
"Huang Sheng has been committing adultery for nearly ten years. In these ten years, many people have been involved. The largest one can be traced to former Prime Minister Huang Jingxiu, and the smaller ones include some ministers and servants. In ten years, Huang Sheng has committed adultery with as many women as
Nearly a hundred.”
"but......"
Dunruo hesitated for a moment and continued: "When I first investigated, the victims were silent about the abuse, and no one came forward to testify. After investigation, I found out that they had accepted benefits from the Huang family.
Many of the disciples were even promoted and awarded titles.”
"In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, Huang has recently spent a lot of money."
"I had no choice but to continue the investigation."
"I have exceeded my order."
Ying Zheng hummed and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, you can check more and let me see how lawless and unscrupulous Huang Jingxiu's family is. In ten years, there have been nearly a hundred traitors, and I'm here
Right under my nose."
Suddenly, his mind trembled, and his head dropped even lower.
Ying Zheng sighed lightly:
"I am still too soft-hearted towards them!"
"So much so that they began to trample the laws at will, and even regarded the laws of Qin as nothing. I originally thought that what Qin Luoheng did was too much, but now it seems that I know very little about what they did.
"
"Go down."
"Let me take a good look at their evil deeds!"
Dunruo quickly bowed and said:
"I excuse myself."
The ceremony is over.
He weakly and respectfully withdrew.
After walking out of the palace door, he looked weakly at the already dark sky, and a gloom flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that His Majesty was really angry this time.
"A storm is coming."
"Huang and Xu, don't blame me. If you want to blame, blame your own evildoings. Your Majesty has always been unwilling to take action against the courtiers, and has been deliberately forbearing. He wants to create a harmonious appearance for the world, but you have to do it yourself.
ah!"
Dun weakly shook his head.
Turn back and walk towards the Censor's Mansion.
He knew very well that when His Majesty read the parchment, he would be furious. He had no idea how many people would be investigated and prosecuted in such a rage.
There are too many officials, big and small, involved!
There are so many that it makes one’s scalp numb.
The only thing he was worried about was whether His Majesty would investigate them all.
If they are all investigated and dealt with, the implications will be too wide, and the number of people punished according to law will be as high as ten thousand. This is too many people, and it will have an extraordinary impact on the court, Guanzhong, and the world, but it is the First Emperor who makes the decision.
, the first emperor in the world.
No one knows how the First Emperor will choose.
He didn’t dare to guess!
But no matter what, there must be a lot of heads.
It's just a matter of quantity.
Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng sat high on it, looking at the large parchment, the stern look in his eyes did not dissipate, but instead became darker.
He opened the parchment.
"The evidence of Huang Sheng's crime of committing adultery is as follows. In the 22nd year of the First Emperor of Qin, a peasant woman from Du County went out to do laundry. Huang Sheng became lustful and raped the peasant woman in the countryside. After that, her husband wanted to sue the official, but was cut off.
Both legs are still disabled."
"In the 22nd year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, a cardamom girl was kidnapped on Changyang Street."
"The twenty-third year of Qin Shihuang... the twenty-fourth year..."
Case after case of rape and crime were presented so straightforwardly on the parchment.
The cold words fell into Ying Zheng's eyes, which only made his eyes become colder and colder. He had already expected this in his heart, so although he was angry, he would not explode until he saw that Huang Jingxiu was having an affair with Mrs. Xu Zhong, and he immediately became angry.
And shoot the case.
He cursed angrily:
"That's ridiculous!"
"The former prime minister of Great Qin was actually such a beast."
"The traitor is an adulterer, and everyone gets it and punishes him, but no one in the Nuo family exposes it. The Huang family is rotten from the root. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. It is precisely because of Huang Jingxiu's evil deeds that he is here."
It gave birth to an unscrupulous person like Huang Sheng."
"Huang Jingxiu really deserves to die!"
Ying Zheng's eyes burned with blazing anger.
He continued to look down.
When he saw that the Huang family colluded with the Xu family, using the power in their hands to deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates, and run amok, Ying Zheng's face turned completely dark.
What Da Qin promoted was the legal system!
The rule of law is important!
Now that the officials of the Qin Dynasty are so virtuous, how can they make the people of the Qin Dynasty abide by the law?
He was originally very dissatisfied with Qin Luoheng's assassination, but when he saw the parchment, which was too complicated to write down, he suddenly woke up. If Qin Luoheng hadn't killed him in pain, this matter would have continued to be concealed. Even without Qin Luoheng,
There will also be someone who wants to kill someone next.

After Ying Zheng read the parchment, his whole body was filled with rage.
He had never thought that in Xianyang, under his nose, such a bad thing could happen, and what he did was the thing he hated the most.
My husband sent me a pig, so I am not guilty of killing him!
This was the sentence he personally imposed on the crime of adultery back then!
result.
Does anyone really care?
If this is the case in Xianyang, what about that place?
Aren’t those local officials even more covering up the sky with one hand?
Ying Zheng said angrily:
"Someone call me Li Si and Shi Lu."
soon.
Li Si, who had silver hair, came outside the palace, and Shi Lu was already waiting outside the palace. The two looked at each other, with a look of concentration in their eyes.
The two of them entered the palace.
Without any nonsense, Ying Zheng threw the parchment presented by Dun Rui onto the floor, and said to Li Si indifferently: "Pick it up and take a look."
Li Si bowed.
He bent down and picked up the parchment on the ground. He glanced at it for a few times, but his face was pale and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Li Si said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this..."
Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "I won't say anything more to you. According to the law, I will convict the people above me one by one. I want to know how many times they can die for these things they have committed!"
Liston first said:
"I will judge according to the law, and I will not dare to bend the law in any way."
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
Ying Zheng raised his head slightly, looked at Shi Lu and said: "You handled the Qin Luoheng murder case, and now you are going to handle Huang Sheng's cover-up case. I won't put any more burden on you. You just need to not report this knowledge in accordance with the law."
, and even the 'victims' who have collaborated with the Huang family will be brought to justice."
“Da Qin’s violations will be punished!”
"I obey the order." Shi Lu concentrated.
Ying Zheng continued: "Go down and determine the culpability of these people as soon as possible. I don't want anyone to leak the news before the government ends. If these people react, don't blame me for being merciless.
"
Li Si said solemnly:
"I will never dare to leak the news."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Ying Zheng raised his head slightly and waved to the two of them. The two of them immediately understood, bowed to each other, and then slowly withdrew.
Walk out of the palace gate.
Li Si's face looked a little solemn.
He snorted coldly:
"Huang Jingxiu is so bold. He dares to do these ungrateful things right in Xianyang, right under His Majesty's nose. Huang Sheng can commit such a heinous crime, and he cannot escape the blame."
Shi Lu said in a deep voice: "Li Tingwei, the matter has come to this, and we should do our best. However, Qin Luoheng's case has been closed. According to the content on this parchment, no one in the Huang family has been wronged. Then Qin Luoheng
Luo Heng would have no problem killing more than twenty people of the Huang family."
"After the retrial, Qin Luoheng was not only not guilty, but also guilty of meritorious service. If this is the case, Qin Luoheng was a serious doctor in Lishan. Then he killed more than 20 prisoners. With the cumulative merits,
It’s enough to be crowned a duke or even a public official.”
Shi Lu had a wry smile on his face.
Li Si frowned.
Ning Sheng said:
"Let's ignore Qin Luoheng's case for the time being. Let's solve the fraud case involving Huang Sheng first. As for Qin Luoheng's situation, it is indeed a bit complicated. If the information on the parchment is true, Qin Luoheng is indeed not guilty, but he committed murder at the time.
There is no evidence, so there is no problem with the penalty."
"Besides."
"Shang Jun said: 'If you succeed in front of you, if you lose in front of you, you will lose in the back. It is not a punishment.'"
"He later beheaded the criminals, but he was guilty, so this merit should not be added to the original sentence. Therefore, even if he is really found innocent, or even meritorious, he will only be restored to his original doctorate position.
and a middle title."
"The specific details will be discussed later."
"It's difficult to assess at the moment."
Shi Lu nodded.
Li Si also had gloomy eyes.
Everything was fine at first, but because of Qin Luoheng's murder case, not only hundreds of officials were implicated, but also loopholes in the law were repeatedly violated. Not only Shi Lu was helpless, but Li Si was also speechless.
This is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing after being in Qin for so long.
But the two of them didn't think much about it.
They have more important things to deal with right now.
