He immediately shouted: "Ning'er, I will send someone to investigate this matter. If it is found that what you told is a lie, you will never escape. If you dare to slander the imperial official, you will be beheaded."
"Tell me, who instigated you to frame me? As long as you tell the truth, I can spare your life!"
Hearing this, Ning'er was so frightened that she trembled all over. She quickly looked at Zhou Chun and asked Zhou Chun for help.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun said coldly: "Taifu Han, how dare you threaten the witness?"
After speaking, he said to Ning'er: "Ning'er, don't be afraid. If Master Han really bullied you, you must tell the truth. Don't worry, the law is fair, and I and the emperor will definitely make the decision for you.
."
As he said that, he glanced at Ning'er coldly.
Seeing this gloomy look, Ning'er hurriedly said: "Mr. Han, even if you threaten me, I will say it. What I say is true. The child in my belly is also yours. If you don't take responsibility for me today, I will
Killed in front of you!"
"You!" Taifu Han was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Zhou Chundao: "Okay! Ning'er, don't get excited. Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice in this matter!" |
As he said that, he looked at Taifu Han and said: "Taifu, it seems that someone has reported you for corruption and bribery before, and it is not groundless. Your Majesty trusts you so much, but you have betrayed his trust. You must give an explanation to your Majesty for this matter.
"
"Let's go and see the Holy One!"
"Master Zhou, it's not good!" At this time, Mr. Wang from the Yushitai came over anxiously holding several letters.
Zhou Chun immediately said: "Master Wang, what's wrong?"
Lord Wang ran to Zhou Chun, pointed to the letters, and said, "Sir, we found several letters in Taifu Han's study!"
"What letter?" Zhou Chun said seriously.
"It's a letter of rebellion. In the letter, Mr. Han instructs a fellow villager named Han Wu to take the lead in the rebellion." Mr. Wang said.
When Taifu Han heard this, his body suddenly softened and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He looked at the letters in disbelief and said angrily: "What Han Wu, what rebellion? You are simply slandering me. I don't know this person at all, let alone wrote these letters!"
Zhou Chun took the letters in one hand.
He opened the letter, glanced at it briefly, and then looked at Taifu Han coldly and said: "How dare you, Taifu Han, to instigate rebellion. Someone, tie Taifu Han up and take him to the main hall, and let the emperor decide!"
Someone immediately went up to tie up Taifu Han.
While resisting, Taifu Han said angrily: "Stop, I will leave on my own!"
When he said this, the guards quickly took a step back and did not tie him up again.
Taifu Han glanced at Zhou Chun and looked at him with gritted teeth, "Zhou Chun, as soon as you came to my house to search, you could find money, letters, and this woman just happened to come to see me. How could things be such a coincidence? All of this is your fault
It was planned just to frame me, right?"
Zhou Chun said gloomily: "Mr. Han, I have no grudge against you, so why do I want to frame you? Everyone's eyes are sharp. We found all these evidences from your home. Do you still dare to rake them up?"
After saying that, he waved his hand coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, here comes someone, escort Han Bing to the palace!"
Taifu Han glared at Zhou Chun hatefully, "Zhou Chun, you will be punished for doing bad things. I am waiting for your retribution!"
After saying that, he rolled his sleeves coldly and walked out.
Zhou Chun sneered and said to Mr. Wang: "Sir Wang, go to Hanjiacun to capture Han Wu and take him directly to the palace, where the emperor will deal with him."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou." Mr. Wang said.
-
Soon, Zhou Chun and his party escorted Taifu Han to the main hall.
Li Jin, Dong Changfeng and others received the news and hurried into the palace.
By the time they arrived at the Jinluan Palace, most of the ministers had arrived.
At this time, Li Jin saw Taifu Han standing there with an angry face, and hurriedly stepped forward and said tremblingly: "Taifu, what is going on? Why do they say you are treason? I don't believe it."
Taifu Han glared at Zhou Chun angrily and said in a cold voice: "Humph, if you want to impose a crime, why bother?"
"The Emperor has arrived!" At this moment, Eunuch Xu's voice came from outside.
Everyone immediately saluted and said, "See you, Your Majesty."
"Pingshen." Emperor Hongyuan walked in, glanced at Prince Rui and Zhou Chun first, and then looked at Taifu Han, with a cold look in his eyes.
He sat on the dragon chair and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Chun, you went to Han Mansion to search, what did you find?"
Zhou Chun immediately stepped forward and said: "Back to the emperor, I have discovered three major crimes against Taifu Han!"
"Three major crimes? Which three major crimes are they?" Emperor Hongyuan said coldly.
Zhou Cundao said: "First, it is corruption and bribery. I found a lot of money in the kitchen of Taifu Han's house. Second, it is improper style. I found out that Taifu Han went to Zuixiang Tower and made Ning'er of Zuixiang Tower pregnant."
.As an official, how can Taifu Han be content with the girl from Zuixianglou? Third..."
Having said this, he glanced at Taifu Han and said: "Thirdly, I found Taifu Han's letters in his home about his rebellion. He criticized the emperor in his letters and encouraged his fellow countryman Han Wu to take the lead in the rebellion."
"What?" At this time, the officials were all very shocked.
Emperor Hongyuan's face suddenly turned dark, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes, "Zhou Chun, please hand over the letter quickly."
"Yes." After Zhou Chun finished speaking, he quickly handed several letters in his hand to Eunuch Xu, who quickly presented them to Emperor Hongyuan.
As soon as Emperor Hongyuan got the letters, he quickly opened them and read them.
When he saw the content of rebellion in it, he became furious and said, "You Han Bing, I have always respected and appreciated you, but I didn't expect you to dare to rebel!"
"Your Majesty, I dare to put my head on my neck as a guarantee that I am definitely not treasonous. This is a letter forged by others, as well as the money and Ning'er. They are all fabricated by someone with intentions. I have no qualms about you and am loyal to you.
, I will never do anything to rebel." Taifu Han said anxiously.
Li Jin also said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Taifu Han has always been loyal to you. He will never rebel. Is there any misunderstanding here?"
Dong Changfeng said: "Taifu Han has been an official for many years and has been honest and honest. He can't even take a grain of rice from the common people. How can he be corrupt? As for saying that he got Ning'er from Zuixianglou pregnant, this is the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"
"Your Majesty, I don't know who is framing Taifu Han. That person just wants to frame Taifu Han for corruption. Instead, he turns to selfish morality and rebellion. This is going to put Taifu Han to death!"
When everyone heard this, they all felt that what Li and Dong said was very reasonable.
The Taifu Han they knew was indeed not this kind of person.
This person is so cruel. Not only does he damage Taifu Han's reputation, he also wants his whole family to be wiped out!
Zhou Chun said coldly: "Your Majesty, you know people but not the heart. Who here really knows Taifu Han? Would a truly corrupt person let you know that he is corrupt? Moreover, Taifu Han has been criticizing the emperor in recent days in an attempt to destroy the emperor.
He has had second thoughts about the emperor for a long time, and his rebellious intentions are clearly revealed!"
