This is not over yet, Zhu Ji waved his hand, and a school captain immediately came forward.
"This is compiled by the prefect of Jining. All the petitions and testimonies filed against Duke Yansheng's residence in the past ten years, as well as the memorials of the prefect of Jining. Your Majesty..."
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "I am only observing the review and will not express any opinions. You continue!"
Zhu Ji winked at his subordinate, the captain, and took all the things to the front of the hall.
The three bosses looked at each other and were stunned for a long time. Yu Shiyue first picked up the memorial from Jining Mansion, glanced at it briefly, and then handed it to Xue and Yang.
After a long while, Yu Shiyue's face turned pale, while Xue and Yang also frowned and were at a loss.
These days, they have been thinking of various ways to help Yan Sheng publicize his crime, but they did not expect that Jin Yiwei would directly copy him.
What is this called, pulling out the fire under the cauldron?
Duke Yansheng’s Mansion, copy it as you say!
Moreover, so much money was copied...
If the gold is converted into silver, it will be more than 30 million taels!
How to explain?
If we talk about the money accumulated by Yan Shenggong from generation to generation, then it only lasts for a hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, since the first year of Hongwu, more than 300,000 taels have been steadily received every year. This does not include houses, acres of land, etc.
Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc...
What a fart explanation!
Yu Shiyue felt bitter, but couldn't say...
The Kong family is so greedy. Wang Zhen, who was so powerful back then, was nothing more than that, right?
However, in the current situation, he is already riding a tiger and cannot get out of it. There is only one way to go to the dark side!
Snap!
Yu Shiyue made up his mind, slapped the crowd in shock, and said in a deep voice: "Who is here?"
Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin quickly replied: "It belongs to me..."
"I didn't ask you!"
Yu Shiyue suddenly straightened his face and shouted: "Come, please step aside, Mr. Yan Shenggong, and do not disturb my trial!"
Two officers stepped forward and pulled Kong Yanjin aside.
Kong Yanjin was about to argue when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Could it be that... Sanfasi was preparing to keep himself out of the matter?
In the current situation, Jin Yiwei has already gained the stolen goods, and it is useless to say anything. However, there is another way, abandon the car and save the handsome man!
What if everything has nothing to do with you?
Kong Chengqing, Kong Chengping, Cai Jinkui...
If they plead guilty, they can pretend that they don't know anything. Even if they lose everything, there is hope that they can keep the name Yan Shenggong.
As long as the title is still there, everything can come back!
If the money is gone, you can make it again. In this world, there are many people rushing to give money to Yan Shenggong.
My son is gone, but he can be reborn. Although he is a little older, he will still be strong and strong!
Yu Shiyue asked again: "Who is there?"
Kong Chengqing raised his blood-stained face and said feebly: "Qufu... Yanshenggong Mansion, Kong... Kong Chengqing..."
"I would like to ask you, are the charges against Yan Shenggong Mansion true?"
"No...no..."
"Bold!"
Yu Shiyue clapped the alarm tree again and shouted: "Jining Mansion personally wrote a memorial to state the various crimes of Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion. Are you saying that Jining Mansion wronged you? If you hadn't done many evil things over the years and oppressed the people, the gold and silver fields copied by the government would
What's the explanation?"
Kong Chengqing's eyes were blank, and he looked at Kong Yanjin aside.
Yu Shiyue noticed it and immediately said: "What did I ask you? You must tell the truth. No one can protect you today!"
"But, I..."
"If you dare to quibble again, you will be punished with severe punishment!"
Kong Chengqing's eyes were full of fear, and he hurriedly said: "I said, everything, everything... is true..."
"Is that a confession?"
"Admit...please plead guilty!"
"Since you have confessed, please stay aside for now. Next, bring Kong Chengping to court!"
Immediately afterwards, Kong Chengping was
The process of taking him to court was similar to the trial of Kong Chengqing, with a few words in a hurry to confirm the charges.
Then there was Cai Jinkui, who was directly charged with treason.
It’s okay not to admit it, because there is too much evidence.
If it were in the past, the Kong family would almost have the final say on the one-third of an acre of land in Qufu. Even if the sky fell, just a word from the Kong family would mean nothing.
But it’s different now, the Kong family is gone...
Although they were convicted, they all intentionally or unintentionally had nothing to do with Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin.
Yu Shiyue nodded to Xue and Yang, and then said: "I declare that Kong Chengqing has seized the people's land, raped women, and killed people. He must be punished for several crimes and must be executed according to the law! Kong Chengping, the magistrate of Qufu, protected Kong.
According to the law, Cai Jinkui, the commander of the Jinan Guard, was dismissed from his official position and demoted to a commoner, and could not be used for life! Cai Jinkui, the commander of the Jinan Guard, intended to rebel. The charges were true and he would punish the three tribes! Although Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin was not directly involved in the above, his status Yan
Holy Duke, he seriously neglected his duties and bears joint and several responsibility. According to the law, his house was confiscated and all his property was turned over to the national treasury!"
After hearing this, the onlookers applauded one after another.
Some scholars secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Such a sentence seemed to be impartial and fair, but in fact, Yan Shenggong was excluded.
They only said that they would confiscate their family property, but they did not deprive Yan Shenggong of his title.
As long as these three words remain, everything can make a comeback!
Among the judges, Zhu Qizhen remained calm.
Other ministers looked at me and looked at you, whispering in low voices, but no one spoke publicly.
Yu Shiyue clapped the gavel again: "Quit!"
"Wait!"
Zhu Ji took a step forward and asked, "Master Yu, is this the end?"
Yu Shiyue said coldly: "What's wrong with Zhu Qian?"
Zhu Ji said: "After all, the main criminal, Yan Shenggong, is the one with the lightest crime?"
"I have just said that Yan Shenggong seriously neglected his oversight and is jointly and severally responsible for it. According to the law, his house was confiscated and all his property was turned over to the national treasury. Isn't this enough?"
Zhu Ji shook his head and said: "All the crimes are not directly related to Yan Shenggong. I am afraid that such a result will be difficult to convince the public."
"When I investigate cases, I always pay attention to evidence. If Zhu Qianshi thinks that these cases were all done by Yan Shenggong, please show us the evidence!"
Yan Shenggong is the last straw for scholars all over the world, so Yu Shiyue will naturally do his best to exonerate him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhu Ji frowned, knowing clearly that Duke Yansheng was the mastermind, but it was really difficult to come up with direct evidence.
No one can prove that all the bad things were done by Kong Yanjin.
Although Kong Chengqing and others knew that they were about to die soon, they would not identify Kong Yanjin as the mastermind on the spot.
Because they knew very well that if Kong Yanjin fell, everything would be over.
As long as Kong Yanjin is preserved, the Kong family will still exist, scholars all over the world will still support the Kong family, and their descendants can still be respected by others.
Even if Cai Jinkui was betrayed and executed by the three clans, he knew that Kong Yanjin would definitely find a way to preserve his bloodline.
Zhu Ji was annoyed that the evidence he had found from Qufu was being blamed.
The officials' protection has reached such a blatant situation, but there is nothing I can do!
He looked at the jury. The emperor remained silent, as if he really had no intention of intervening.
Yu Shiyue said: "My advice is that this is a joint trial of the three divisions. I have already seen the evidence provided by Jin Yiwei. As for how to try the case, Jin Yiwei does not need to intervene!"
"Well said!"
A voice came from the periphery of the crowd.
Yu Shiyue's heart trembled and he looked in the direction of the voice.
Among the crowd, a path was opened, and Yuan Bin slowly walked forward.
"Master Yu's trial is truly wonderful!"
Yu Shiyue looked at the person in front of him and frowned tightly. Of course he knew that those who came were not kind and those who were kind would not come.
"I just said
However, this is a joint trial of the three divisions. If Jin Yiwei provides evidence, he can bring it up, otherwise, please watch the trial from the sidelines!"
Yuan Bin smiled and said: "I am here because I do have evidence to provide."
Yu Shiyue looked at Yuan Bin coldly. Since he had broken his heart, there was nothing to worry about.
"Then submit it!"
Yuan Bin said: "Bring it up!"
Behind him, two captains escorted an unkempt man forward and pressed him to the ground.
Yu Shiyue asked with a cold face: "Who is there?"
"Dad..."
Yu Shiyue trembled all over, as if he had been shocked by electricity.
"You...you are...Tao'er?"
This person is Yu Shiyue’s only son, Yu Wentao.
Before the trial, Yu Shiyue made a special trip home to explain things to his son.
But he didn’t expect that while he was trying the case, his son was arrested!
"Yuan Bin!"
His eyes were bloodshot and he said angrily: "What do you want to do? Why did you arrest my son?"
Yuan Bin said calmly: "Don't get me wrong, today is not about you!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xue and Yang.
"Jinyiwei was ordered to conduct a thorough investigation of the Three Law Divisions. All the officials and their family members involved were arrested and brought to justice!"
"What...what?"
Now, everyone is not calm anymore.
Xue Xuan stood up suddenly and asked: "The Jin Yiwei is thoroughly investigating the Three Laws Department, why didn't we know about it beforehand?"
Yuan Bin said: "The emperor said that the Three Law Division represents the Ming Dynasty's criminal law. If the person presiding over the criminal law has problems, how can he try the case fairly? These days, Jinyiwei has indeed found out many problems through secret visits, such as Yu
This son of your Excellency was fighting for an oiran in a brothel last year. He was so jealous that he beat him to death. Mr. Yu, do you know this?"
Yu Shiyue blushed and said, "No...I don't know..."
"Really?"
Yuan Bin smiled faintly and waved: "Bring witnesses!"
So, one person was escorted in.
As soon as Yu Shiyue saw this person, his face suddenly turned pale.
This man looked like he was out of his mind and fell to his knees in front of the hall.
Yuan Bin shouted: "Who are you?"
"Grass people...Zhang Quan."
"Zhang Quan, who are you?"
Zhang Quan said in a panic: "They are... domestic slaves of the Yu family, most of them follow the young master..."
"Your young master is Yu Wentao?"
"Yes, yes..."
"Last year, Yu Wentao and others got jealous and got into a fight in a brothel. Were you there?"
"Yes, yes!"
Zhang Quan dared to hide anything and said truthfully: "At that time... I followed the young master to Xinghua Tower, and the young master fell in love with the oiran girl Lianrou. However, there was a poor scholar who insisted on competing with my young master, and then, then...
”
"Then what?"
"In desperation, the young master picked up the wine bottle and threw it at it. By coincidence, it hit the scholar's head. As a result, the scholar lost his balance and fell from the third floor to his death..."
"Can his family file a lawsuit?"
"Sue... sue..."
"What was the result?"
"After the complaint was filed over there, someone from Shuntian Mansion immediately informed the young master, and the young master asked me to go...to deal with it..."
"How did you deal with it?"
Zhang Quan glanced at Yu Shiyue secretly and said, "Take the master's name card and give me a generous gift."
"What kind of gift?"
"It's just a calligraphy and painting by the master."
"Haha..."
Yuan Bin sneered: "So, Master Yu's calligraphy and paintings are very valuable?"
"It's not that the master's calligraphy and paintings are valuable...it's because...the people in Shuntian Mansion have always admired the master."
"I'm afraid I don't admire this
It’s so simple, what happens next?”
"After that, the Shuntian Prefecture said that the man had drunk too much and slipped and fell to death. His family refused to accept it and insisted on filing a lawsuit. As a result, the Shuntian Prefecture got beaten up and they were beaten until they were bedridden. The matter was finally settled.
”
Yu Shiyue couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily: "Zhang Quan, you're a rip-off, when did Tao'er beat someone to death? It's obviously a false accusation. What are your intentions?"
Yuan Bin said with a smile but not a smile: "Zhang Quan, your master said that you made a false accusation. How do you explain it?"
Zhang Quan quickly waved his hand and said: "No... I don't dare. The villain has been a slave in the Yu family for generations. I will never dare to... make false accusations! The villain... the villain has a way to prove it!"
"How to prove it?"
Zhang Quan said: "The person who handled the case at that time was a director of Shuntian Prefecture named Pan Chang. Later, this person entered the Criminal Department."
Yuan Bin immediately said: "Okay, here, bring Pan Chang!"
Yu Shiyue's heart tightened. Pan Chang had already been taken away by someone!
Pan Chang was escorted in in embarrassment. When he saw Yuan Bin, he kowtowed: "Spare your life!"
"Pan Chang, did you hear everything outside?"
"Listen...I heard it."
Yuan Bin sneered: "Is it true?"
Pan Chang's face was ashen, and he said with a mournful face: "At that time... it was the criminal official who handled the case... The Yu family came to intercede, and the criminal official did not dare to provoke the Yu family..."
Yuan Bin asked: "Master Yu, what do you say?"
Yu Shiyue slumped on the chair, panting heavily, and said: "I... don't know..."
He plans to learn from Yan Shenggong and choose himself first.
With his status, even if his son is imprisoned, he can still find ways to smooth things over.
At least I guarantee that I will not suffer any hardship in prison, and then I can find a reason to be released early when the time is right.
These operations are nothing to the dignified Minister of Justice.
Yuan Bin sneered and said: "Well, come here and bring a few witnesses who witnessed it at the time!"
After a while, several more people were brought in and questioned one by one.
The facts of the case gradually became clear, and almost all the evidence pointed to Yu Wentao.
Yuan Bin looked cold and said slowly: "According to Ming law, what is the crime of murder?"
Yu Wentao turned pale and said plaintively: "I didn't mean it, I just... missed it, please... please..."
Yuan Bin continued calmly: "And bribing Shuntian Prefecture officials, what is the crime?"
Yu Wentao said: "I...I..."
Yuan Bin looked at Yu Shiyue and said: "First he killed people, and then bribed officials. Mr. Yu, how should this case be judged?"
