Chapter 558: What is determined is the serious crime of the Jinshi! What is lost is the face of the scholar-bureaucrat!
"It's really on fire!"
"It doesn't matter. Judge Gongsun has already asked Pu Bing to prepare fire-extinguishing tools. We will wait and see what happens next."
Li Yan, Lu Junyi, and Suo Chao, each holding a cup of milk tea, watched with great interest.
The milk tea of the Northern Song Dynasty is actually a variant of the tea soup of the Tang Dynasty. However, people in this era are more attentive to their diet. There are more than a hundred ingredients. Although there are inevitably some gimmicks in them, but with Suo Chao’s recommendation, they go straight to the fragrant tea soup.
Drink stall.
Facts have proved that the milk tea here is worthy of being a popular delivery, and the taste is indeed just right. When Li Yan drank it, compared with the taste of later generations, he felt that it was not inferior at all, and he was very impressed.
The three of them were sipping milk tea happily, and then looking at Taoyao Square diagonally opposite, black smoke rose first, and then was quickly extinguished, and there was a messy cry and howl from inside, and then it was quickly suppressed.
The police officers trained by Gongsun Zhao had extraordinary methods, the situation was controlled very steadily, and the whole process was uneventful.
From the perspective of young prisoner Guo Kai, the whole process was even more thrilling, especially the main messenger of Taoyao Square, Yi Niang, who was being dragged by two policemen at this time. Her hair was disheveled, like a ghost, but she still resisted, seemingly
Still want to resist.
Indeed, Yiniang's hamstrings and hand tendons had been severed, her limbs could no longer use strength, and her mouth was still blocked, but she did not give up hope, her eyes twitching as she thought about whether there was still a possibility of escape.
Until Qiu Wuzuo came in front of her, took a look at her hands, pinched her muscles and bones, and examined them carefully, as if examining a corpse.
Yiniang struggled up, her eyes glared fiercely, showing an extremely malicious light. As a result, when the official Xu spoke, she was shocked: "You have been this fake mother for only a few years. Didn't you have some problems in the world before?
reputation?"
Yi Niang's face froze, and her murderous intent turned into anger. Guo Kai asked curiously: "Isn't this thief the madam of this building?"
Qiu Wu said: "She is indeed a madam now, but she was originally from Lianjiazi. The traces of torture are everywhere on her body, which cannot be hidden from others. It was just that she relied on the protection of officials in the past to keep the secret from being exposed...
…”
"But now, have you seen the young eunuch Guo in the palace? It was on the order of the Queen Mother that he ordered the investigation and punishment of Taoyaofang. Do you think any official can resist the Queen Mother's order?"
Yiniang had been in pain before and did not hear the details of the edict. Now she heard Qiu Wuzuo's words and looked at Guo Kai carefully. She finally understood why Gongsun Zhao could act so unscrupulously that even the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were embarrassed.
Not caring at all.
It turns out that he has the support of the Queen Mother!
Thinking of the methods of this cold-faced judge, combined with the power of the Queen Mother, Yi Niang's face turned pale, and the fear of death finally appeared in her eyebrows.
At this moment, the resistance from the top and bottom of Taoyaofang was completely extinguished.
The police escorted the young lady and the boy out, but the remaining thief, who was still resisting and even prepared to set fire to destroy the evidence, was shot and killed on the spot without mercy.
After dragging out more than a dozen corpses and extinguishing two fires, the brothel was completely guarded by the Kaifeng government. Under Gongsun Zhao's order, everyone dispersed and began to search for the secret room told by Shopkeeper Mei.
But after a careful search, nothing was found. Guo Kai looked worried. The matter was so big, and if he couldn't find those so-called secret rooms and food, it would really not end well.
At this moment, Yi Niang, who was trembling with fear, suddenly whined and screamed.
Guo Kai rolled his eyes, came to Gongsun Zhao and whispered: "Judge Gongsun, what the thief wants to say, maybe she wants to reveal the location of the secret room to win leniency, you might as well listen to her
Explain."
Gongsun Zhaodao: "This thief is so arrogant and has done so many evil things. I will never give her leniency!"
Guo Kai's voice became more and more subtle: "Can we promise her first that we will get the evidence of the crime? Shouldn't life and death be decided by Judge Gongsun?"
Gongsun Zhao shook his head: "Forgive me, Young Supervisor Guo. If I promise her, I will definitely do it...and even if she doesn't ask, I can still find the whereabouts of the secret room...take this woman with you and follow me!"
The last sentence was an instruction to the detectives. The two detectives immediately grabbed Yi Niang and followed Gongsun Zhao's footsteps, walking around Taoyao Square.
Guo Kai didn't understand, but Qiu Wuzuo understood it and immediately followed him.
Everywhere he went, Gongsun Zhao would stay for a while. Yi Niang's eyes quickly and unconsciously followed Gong Sun Zhao's footsteps, while Qiu Wuzuo followed at the back, carefully observing Yi Niang's body reaction.
At first, Yiniang was relatively relaxed, but when she reached the patio in the backyard, her body that could not support her could not help but tense up. Qiu Wuzuo raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Maybe the secret room is here."
Gongsun Zhao's gaze fell on the patio that was nearly ten steps wide: "Only Yi Niang knows the entrance and exit of the secret passage, and there are people coming and going in the building. If it is an ordinary design, it is inevitable that it will not be activated inadvertently.
…”
Qiu Wuzuo continued: "She knows martial arts, but the other servants don't. It is likely that someone who knows martial arts can open this secret passage."
Gongsun Zhao nodded and ducked into the courtyard. Guo Kai understood. Looking at Yi Niang again, he had lost his last support. This woman really fell down like a puddle of mud.
For the sake of secrecy, the mechanism was designed very cleverly. When the bricks in the well were pressed, the originally flat stone slabs on the ground tilted up, and the secret passage finally appeared.
Gongsun Zhao jumped out of the patio, took the lead to enter, and opened the door of the secret room. What appeared in front of him were trembling young ladies.
These young ladies were all abducted by Wuyou Cave. Some of them were still wearing the clothes from their previous homes. When they saw the police appear, they cried with joy and burst into tears. Some of them were already naked and looked dazed, even after being rescued.
When I came out, I was not frightened, just like a piece of wood.
Their reactions diluted the joy of rescuing people and deepened their resentment against this group of thieves. The policeman looked at Yi Niang with eyes that wanted to spit out fire. Gongsun Zhao's fingers holding the sword hilt were also so hard that they turned slightly white.
Guo Kai's attention was not on the rescued young lady, but on the grain and grass piled behind him. He got in personally and quickly determined the authenticity: "These thieves are so bold that they even dare to steal the grain and grass from the military camp!"
When Guo Kai said this, he was shocked and angry, but deep down he couldn't help but feel happy. The Queen Mother had an excuse to attack. He was going to go back to the palace to report. Before leaving, he rolled his eyes and said: "Judge Gongsun's actions are admirable.
, it’s just that those scholar-officials are not easy to mess with, it’s best to save some face for them and don’t do anything too cruel..."
After dealing with Taoyao Square, only the three people were left. Han Xiu was dressed in white and had greatly angered the Queen Mother. This time he fell into his hands. Even Guo Kai was not prepared to let him go. But the other two officials,
Not only does he hold an important position, he is also a standard scholar-official with a background in the imperial examination. In this young eunuch's view, the handling method can still be relaxed.
Gongsun Zhao looked solemn, but he nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your kindness."
"Where there!"
After finishing his helpful words, Guo Kai left happily. Gongsun Zhao came to the two officials who were no longer arrogant but still retained a certain degree of confidence: "Have you thought about it?"
Doctor Liu of the Criminal Department was silent, but Lu Shaoqing of Dali Temple sneered: "I don't know how to take off my official robe, let alone you!"
Gongsun Zhao nodded: "Okay!"
That's the case.
He will use practical actions to prove how to save face for the scholar-bureaucrats!
…
"I was born as a Jinshi, a disciple of the Emperor, and cannot be punished as a scholar-official. How dare you, a warrior, violate the ancestral system and insult me?"
"Madman! Madman! You will not die a happy death!"
"Put me down...don't look...wuwuwu...don't look!"
Li Yan and the others were drinking milk tea outside when they saw a man whose official robe had been stripped off, being dragged out of Taoyao Square by two police officers.
First, there were hysterical shouts and curses, then vicious curses, and finally, shameless sobs, which disappeared.
Mr. Liu of the Ministry of Justice was able to bend and stretch, and took off his official robe on his own initiative, and silently followed the Yamen to Kaifeng Mansion. However, Lu Shaoqing of Dali Temple thought that he was a Jinshi, and wanted to play a majestic and unyielding posture. At this time, he became like this
Vice appearance.
Lu Junyi was excited and worried at the same time: "Judge Gongsun is a good person, but Jinshi is not easy to mess with..."
Suo Chao also sighed and said: "Those scholar-bureaucrats are so arrogant, and they attach great importance to the distinction between civil and military officials. Judge Gongsun is in trouble..."
Li Yan felt that the milk tea tasted better: "Judge Gongsun did not disappoint us. His stance on good and evil is still so firm."
Compared with the failure of the political struggle of the high-ranking gentry in the Tang Dynasty, and the huge number of heads of people, the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty have always been elegant and calm, because even if they committed a crime and were dismissed from office due to party disputes, they would often return home to be rich and powerful.
Eat well and drink well to spend your remaining years peacefully.
What Gongsun Zhao did now was to stab their hearts. Even Lu Junyi and Suo Chao were worried about something. Gongsun Zhao naturally knew the consequences, but he did it without hesitation.
This is what Li Yan appreciates the most: "The way the world is, it's hard for one or two people to reverse it, but some things have to be done eventually. It's people like Judge Gongsun who should come forward to force Wuyou Cave to a dead end!"
Just at this time, Gongsun Zhao walked out of Taoyao Square and happened to see the three people across the street.
Seeing his brother come over despite his busy schedule, his heart felt warm and his eyes showed determination.
In the entire Bianjing city, there are definitely not a few people who directly or indirectly collude with Wuyoudong. If you take into account the intricate network of relationships between various powers, it will be even more terrifying.
Because of this, he became increasingly unable to retreat.
Now that you have given in half a point, you will have to take ten steps back, or a hundred steps back, until you have completely failed!
Because of this, he wanted to take this opportunity to accuse the Jinshi of serious crimes and bring shame to the scholar-bureaucrats.
Let all relationships that dare to block it have to consider the consequences!
To eradicate a century-old cancer in Bianjing, even though tens of millions of people have left, I will go!
