Due to her sudden pregnancy, Vivien Leigh's plan to go to the United States was shelved, and she had to stay in China to raise her baby safely.
Back in Tianjin, Zhou Hexuan stayed at home all day long, reading books, reading newspapers, writing, editing, and spending time with his wife and children. His daily life was free and fulfilling.
At this time, big news suddenly broke out in Peiping - when five batches of hundreds of thousands of treasures from the Palace Museum arrived in Shanghai, Zhu Shusen, the prosecutor of the Nanjing Supreme Court, suddenly dispatched and took people by train to the Forbidden City to seize the accounting department.
, the reason was that someone accused Yi Peiji and Li Zongtong of embezzling and selling cultural relics.
Who is causing trouble?
Of course it's Zhang Ji, and his wife Cui Zhenhua.
Although Cui Zhenhua is a woman, she serves as a member of the Central Supervisory Committee of the Kuomintang and is not inferior to her husband in terms of position.
If Chu Minyi, Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan, is just henpecked, then Zhang Ji is afraid of his wife to death.
Once, Zhang Ji's good friend Peng Jiqun came to visit. Since the two had a good personal relationship, Peng Jiqun went directly into the house without waiting for the servant to notify him. As a result, he found Zhang Ji kneeling in the living room, surrounded by several of his children and his wife Cui Zhenhua.
He beat his husband with a whip and his children were so frightened that they did not even dare to persuade him.
Cui Zhenhua, who hit the person, was a little embarrassed, but Zhang Ji, who was beaten, didn't care and said: "Brother Peng, please don't worry about it. My wife is a good person, let her beat her up." Even though Peng Jiqun was well-informed, he didn't meet him either.
After such a battle, I would turn around and leave in embarrassment.
Another time, Ju Zheng, executive member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang and president of the Legislative Yuan, went to Zhang Ji's house to pay New Year greetings. When he came to the gate of Zhang Ji's house, he found a toilet at the door. Ju Zheng felt very strange. The people accompanying him said: It must be
Mrs. Zhang punished her husband by cleaning the toilet again.
Ju Zheng walked in curiously and saw Zhang Ji kneeling in the living room. He quickly ran to help him. Zhang Ji waved his hand and said, "This is my family matter. Please don't interfere." Ju Zheng only wanted to say a few words and left in a hurry and went out.
Later he said to his companions: "Zhang Ji's good temper is all used at home, and he fights with me."
Cui Zhenhua is actually very kind to others, graceful and dignified, and looks like a lady to everyone. People who don't know her think she is a good woman.
However, the case of falsely accusing Yi Peiji of stealing and selling cultural relics was instigated by Cui Zhenhua, a tigress. She felt that her husband, who serves as the vice president of the Judicial Yuan and the chairman of the National Cultural Relics Management Committee, was unable to control the power of the Forbidden City. It was simply unacceptable.
forgive.
Not only that, Yi Peiji had offended Cui Zhenhua before. When Yi Peiji was ill and did not go to the Forbidden City to take up his post, it was logical that Vice Dean Zhang Ji should be in charge of the work, but Yi Peiji disagreed and told people: "Pu Quan (Zhang Ji)
) Nerve, and he must be controlled by Mrs. Nervous (Cui Zhenhua), so he cannot be allowed to take charge of the Forbidden City."
It was because of this that Yi Peiji offended Zhang Ji, Cui Zhenhua and his wife. Cui Zhenhua settled all the old and new grudges this time and planned to put Yi Peiji to death.
Today, Zheng Lie, director of the Procuratorate of the Supreme Court of China, was promoted by Zhang Ji. Cui Zhenhua colluded with Zheng Lie, secretly colluded with many parties, and bribed witnesses. As soon as they came up, Yi Peiji was charged with stealing and selling cultural relics, and
Prosecutors were dispatched to the Forbidden City to detain relevant personnel.
After the incident, Yi Peiji resigned angrily and submitted a counter-claim to the Kuomintang Central Supervisory Commission, the Executive Yuan and the Ministry of Justice, accusing Cui Zhenhua and Zheng Lie of jointly framed the case.
Cui Zhenhua is a real villain. They bribed newspapers to report extensively on Yi Peiji's corruption of cultural relics. Their whereabouts are unknown, and they may be absconding in fear of crime.
Public opinion across the country was in an uproar, and Yi Peiji and his son-in-law Li Zongtong (Secretary-General of the Palace Museum) were instantly criticized.
When Yi Peiji resigned and countersued Cui Zhenhua, Cui Zhenhua bribed newspapers to report that "Yi Peiji was ordered to resign" and misrepresented "voluntary resignation" as "forced suspension."
Major newspapers followed up the reports one after another. Seeing that Yi Peiji had been "removed" from his post, the people became more convinced that Yi Peiji and Li Zongtong had committed theft.
Yi Peiji was unable to defend himself and fell ill from anger. Now he is just waiting for the court to hear the case. However, Cui Zhenhua played another conspiracy. She took advantage of her position to transfer the case from the Supreme Court to the Nanjing District Court. The Nanjing District Court was full of people.
The cronies promoted by Zhang Ji are equivalent to being both plaintiffs and referees.
The case was scheduled to go to trial in February 1934. Zhou Hexuan went to the Forbidden City in January to find Yi Peiji and asked: "Dean Yi, how are you preparing?"
Yi Peiji said angrily: "Xuan Bo (Li Zongtong) has prepared everything, and I have also invited barrister Liu Chongyou to defend me. This case is absolutely certain. It is a complete frame-up. I am waiting in Peking for the truth to come out."
information."
"Aren't you going to go to Nanjing to appear in court?" Zhou Hexuan said in surprise.
Yi Peiji said: "No, I'm too lazy to confront those conspirators."
Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly and said: "If you don't appear in court in person, I'm afraid the newspapers will report randomly again, saying that you have a guilty conscience and don't dare to show up."
Yi Peiji waved his hand and said: "Those who purge themselves will purge themselves. I believe the law will give me justice. Thank you Mr. Zhou for your kindness!"
Zhou Hexuan advised: "Dean Yi, you'd better go to Nanjing in person."
"It's really unnecessary," Yi Peiji said with a sneer, "I haven't done those things, so the Nanjing District Court can't impose arbitrary penalties."
Zhou Hexuan secretly sighed in his heart, a villain hides his cock, a gentleman exposes his balls, Yi Peiji has been able to bear it this time.
When a noble scholar meets a bureaucratic villain, you can guess with your toes who will be unlucky and suffer.
Sure enough, when the trial opened in early February, although the barrister Yi Peiji hired was very powerful and rendered the plaintiff's lawyer speechless, the Nanjing District Court did not let Yi Peiji off easily and only announced that the case was complicated.
The trial was postponed and Yi Peiji was not declared innocent on the spot.
Afterwards, Zhang Ji, Cui Zhenhua and his wife once again bribed newspapers to publicize that Yi Peiji was guilty and dared not appear in court.
The situation has developed to such an extent that even if Yi Peiji finally wins the lawsuit, his reputation has become so bad that his political future has almost been completely ruined.
However, Zhang Ji, Cui Zhenhua and his wife were not ready to let it go. They wanted to kill Yi Peiji completely. They secretly ordered officials from the Procuratorate to seize the cultural relics that had been moved south, and invited cultural relic experts to identify them one by one.
This is a very large project, and it will take at least several years to complete all identifications. If a few fakes are identified, Yi Peiji will be finished. Even if no fakes are found, Yi Peiji will not be able to become an official in the next few years, because he
It is a "criminal body". What is even more frightening is that after a few years, everyone has forgotten the matter. Even if Yi Peiji can prove his innocence, he is still a cultural relic thief in the eyes of the people. Due to negative public opinion, the central government
It is absolutely impossible to reuse Yibeiji again.
When a villain takes revenge, there will be blood.
