Regarding the outcome of the Yan family case, Hua Changshi had a better idea. Hua Changshi reported to Mu Anzhi privately, "The Marquis of Nan'an is just using him seriously. It is indeed difficult to convict him of death based on the Yan family case alone."
Mu Anzhi adjusted his sleeves, "The corruption of Chao Gang is caused by weighing the pros and cons."
"Your Highness?"
His words were very straightforward, but His Highness's words were even more profound.
Mu Anzhi turned sideways, looked at Hua Changshi, and asked him, "How do you feel about reviewing the Yan family case?"
Hua Changshi sighed, "Although there are regrets, the depression is gradually disappearing."
Mu Anzhi's eyes narrowed with a touch of arrogance, "I can be smart and make friends with powerful people, but I will never become that kind of person. I live my life not to gain wealth and power, but to be real and real."
Do something here."
"I don't care about unnecessary things. I am in my position and working on my own affairs. Since I am in the Ministry of Justice, I will clear the wrongs and bring justice to the wronged." Mu Anzhi glanced outside and asked, "Is Du Changshi okay?"
"It should be close. I'll go take a look at him."
Today is the day to pay homage to the father and son of the Yan family. Since the crown prince came to pay homage in person, naturally there will be many people following him. Mu An has always been at odds with the East Palace, but this case of the Yan family is in his hands, and he will also bring his officials there today.
Du Changshi and Hua Changshi are Mu Anzhi's right-hand men and will go with Mu Anzhi.
Mu Anzhi did not enter the palace with the prince. He directly took his people to the tombs of the Yan family and his son.
In a lush apricot grove, there is a path paved with green bricks. Two green brick tombs stand next to each other. In front of the tomb is a seven-foot-high stele with a turtle's head and a turtle's legs. The Yan family's father and son were involved in an old injustice case, and the imperial court specially allowed the use of tombs of fifth-rank officials.
Ritual system.
Censor Zhuo stood in the wind dressed in green clothes. When he saw Mu Anzhi approaching, he took two steps forward to greet him, bowed and said, "I have met your highness."
Mu Anzhi and Zhuo Yushi often had frictions. Even when the case was being tried, the two of them would roll up their sleeves and have a fight from time to time. Therefore, Mu Anzhi always accepted Zhuo Yushi's salute calmly. Today, in
In front of the tombs of the Yan family and his son, Mu Anzhi raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite." A nasty guy like Zhuo Yushi also has merits.
Yan Lin came over in plain clothes to salute, but Mu Anzhi just excused herself. Zhuo Yushi said, "Your Highness came early, why not go over there to have a rest. I just made good tea."
The place where Zhuo Yushi made tea was next to the Yan Jue stele. There were two plates of cakes and a set of purple sand tea sets on a small bamboo table, and a brass kettle sat on a small red clay stove next to it.
There are also two plates of cakes and a cup of steaming hot tea in front of Yan Jue's tombstone.
Censor Zhuo was probably having tea with Yan Jue just now.
Mu Anzhi was not taboo about this. He sat cross-legged on the futon and asked Hua Changshi and Du Changshi to take a break, especially Du Changshi, who was still injured. Zhuo Yushi poured a glass of water for Du Changshi, "I heard
If you are taking medicine, you should drink less tea. Even though you are young, you should pay attention to your health."
Zhuo Yushi suddenly became a normal person, and everyone was still a little uncomfortable with it.
East Palace.
The prince changed into lighter clothes and had just finished his breakfast when he heard a report from the chamberlain, "Mr. Wang, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, has come to pay his respects to His Highness."
The Crown Princess's belly was already very heavy. She held her waist and straightened her abdomen and sat aside to watch the palace servants serve the Crown Prince to rinse his mouth. She couldn't help but said, "Your Highness is about to go out. It is not a coincidence that this old lady has come."
"It's not a coincidence, he came here in a hurry." The prince took the silk handkerchief from the palace servant's hand and wiped the corners of his lips, then told the chamberlain, "Let Mr. Wang serve tea in the side hall first, I will go there in a while.
"
The prince sat looking at the clock for a while and then went to the outer hall. When he saw Mr. Wang, he naturally had to exchange greetings. Mr. Wang sighed, "I just came to your majesty to apologize. This is all because I was confused back then. I specially invite you today."
I intend to go with His Highness to pay homage to the Yan family father and son."
"It's not my fault for this, sir. You don't have to blame yourself so much." The prince comforted him with gentle words, and said in his heart, it's useless for you to plead guilty in front of your father, or to say these words in front of the orphan. The third child is also going to pay tribute today.
I'm afraid it's his fault that makes you miserable.
The prince took the officials of the prince's palace and Mr. Wang with him.
After the prince paid homage in person, he even comforted Yan Lin with a few words. After the prince paid homage, he came to Mu Anzhi. Mu Anzhi didn't have any memorial words. He just put incense sticks and expressed his condolences. Mr. Wang took up his official position as a first-class official.
Naturally ranked behind Mu An.
Mu Anzhi watched Mr. Wang being tremblingly supported by the younger members of the family to the tombs of Yan's father and son. He bowed deeply, took three sticks and lit the incense, bowed and bowed three more times, sighed deeply, and left.
Mu Anzhi said suddenly, "Wang Shangshu, doesn't he have anything to say?"
The prince's eyes flashed. The third child specially sent someone to send a message to the Wang family. He was really going to make trouble.
Mr. Wang, the second grandson of Mr. Wang, said in a low voice, "Your Highness, my grandfather has been blaming himself a lot lately. Please forgive me for a waning old man."
"There are so many talented people in this world who died young. When I think of Yan Jue who was convicted before he could be crowned, I feel that it is a great blessing to have a waning life. What's more, my grandparents can still be kind and filial.
Coming here to pay homage to the Yan family's father and son's tomb is even more of a blessing among blessings. Wang Shangshu has nothing to blame himself for. Seeing the end of the Yan family and his son, he is even more fortunate to be a high-ranking official with a generous salary, a wife and son, a house full of wealth, and a high position.
How satisfying is life and death?"
Mr. Wang Lao Shangshu was in tears, "Your Majesty, if you say this, all my ministers will die."
Mu Anzhi sneered, "What does it have to do with me whether you die or not? I have nothing to do to take a look at Wang Shangshu's life. You were the number one scholar at that time. There are five sons behind you, only one of whom is a scholar, and the other four have no fame. There are six grandchildren.
Of all the people, only the Second Master Wang was selected as a scholar and ranked twenty-third on the scholar list."
"When you were the Minister of Punishment, the Ministry of Punishment caused this unjust case. I originally suggested that Your Majesty hold you accountable. Your Majesty is soft-hearted. Seeing that you have been in office for many years and are dying, you can't bear to be blamed. I was very angry and even had a quarrel with Your Majesty in the Royal Study. Now.
Come to think of it, it's not necessary. Look at your descendants and your ruined reputation. The unpaid debt is not retribution!" Mu Anzhi gently brushed away a fallen leaf from Mr. Wang's shoulder, held his trembling shoulders, and shook his head.
The corner of his lips said, "You have to live a good life. Without your big tree, who would be able to protect these children and grandchildren under the tree from the wind and rain?"
The Second Master Wang became anxious first, "If your Highness is angry, just point it at me. My grandfather is old and cannot withstand His Highness's humiliation."
Mu Anzhi ignored the Second Master Wang at all. Du Changshi went over and patted the Second Master Wang gently on the shoulder. The Second Master Wang immediately turned pale and was speechless. Du Changshi said in his ear, "Look
You said that in terms of fame, you can't even come before our Highness." The implication is that your status is not worthy of the humiliation of our Highness.
Mu Anzhi withdrew his gaze and looked at Mr. Wang, "Look, Zhuo Xiucai, the scholar you used to win over with all your strength, is now the censor of Zuodu. The case that you signed with your own signature to cover it up with the official seal is now
See the light of day again. It's so embarrassing that you, in your dying years, have to come here to show off and apologize. However, I believe that you have seen a lot of the world, so this embarrassment is nothing."
Mr. Wang Laoshu was trembling like a withered leaf in the wind, his face was ashen, and he looked very ominous. The prince said, "Third son, I have to pay tribute to Yushi Zhuo later. If you have anything to say, I'll talk to you later."
Unexpectedly, Yushi Zhuo immediately waved his sleeves very considerately and said, "I'm not in a hurry. Your Highness, the Third Prince, just say what you want."
The prince barely missed his waist.
Zhuo Yushi secretly praised in the ear of the prince, "His Highness the Third Prince speaks so happily."
The prince gave Zhuo Yushi a calming look, and it would be of no benefit to anyone if he really killed Mr. Wang on the spot. Zhuo Yushi then said, "Although I am not in a hurry, there are still a lot of people waiting to offer incense. Three
Your Highness, please keep some. You are happy now. If there is something wrong with Mr. Wang, it will be detrimental to your reputation. Come on, help the old Mr. Shu down, Your Highness, you can calm down. If you don’t pursue it, then you won’t pursue it, Mr.
The Minister is indeed getting old, and as you said, God has repaid him. I believe that the best retribution for the Yan family's unjust case is that there will be no outstanding descendants after him. All those who regard others as fish on the chopping block,
One day, I will become the fish on the chopping board."
Therefore, Mu Anzhi did not kill Mr. Wang, but Zhuo Yushi casually concluded. Mr. Wang finally couldn't hold it anymore and opened his mouth and spit out blood.
Mr. Wang Laoshang was rushed back to his residence and died on the same day.
Mu'anzhi Zhuo Yushi was sent to the imperial study together to be scolded. Zhuo Yushi sighed, "I just summarized what His Highness the Third Prince said. His Highness the Crown Prince testified. I didn't say anything too much. I wanted to persuade him at that time."
Come on. Your Majesty also knows that although I have a personal relationship with Yan Jue, I had no intention of his death at all when Wang Laoshangshu dismissed my title."
"As for him, he was able to handle the Yan family case. When the Minister of Punishment took office, there were countless similar unjust cases. Just find one or two cases and he would be worse off than dead. This is my style of doing things. I thought Mr. Wang
The reason why the Minister vomited blood was mostly due to His Highness." Zhuo Yushi put all the blame on Mu Anzhi.
Even though Mu Anzhi had never thought about evading responsibility, seeing Zhuo Yushi's shameless appearance, he was so angry that he punched Zhuo Yushi's foul mouth. Zhuo Yushi's legs and feet were nimble and he ran away in a swish.
It's open.
Mu Anzhi withdrew his fist and said, "Stay away from me!"
Mu Anzhi was not as eloquent as Zhuo Yushi. Mu Anzhi directly told Emperor Mu Xuan, "Just die, die knowing your shame, and you will deserve to die."
"If you didn't speak so harshly, how could Mr. Wang vomit blood?"
"Is it because the Yan family and his son were so happy to see him that they asked him to go underground and keep him company?" Mu Anzhi also said, "Your Majesty often sneers at me. How come I didn't vomit blood? I didn't do anything wrong!"
Anyway, Wang Lao Shangshu is dead. Although Emperor Mu Xuan did not investigate Wang Lao Shangshu for his past mistakes, he did not want to see him much in his heart. He scolded Mu An and sent him away.
The prince and Yushi Zhuo left the imperial study together. The prince said, "You are the same, why bother killing everyone at this time."
Zhuo Yushi clasped his hands behind his back, "That old guy deserves to die. He is a thief who is too old to die. He is an eyesore every day."
"Besides, it's a good time for His Highness You San to take the blame." Zhuo Yushi winked at the Crown Prince.
The light yellow and dark cloud-patterned gauze shirt on the prince's body was blown by the wind and was extremely elegant. The prince smiled, "Don't tease the third child. He is a real person. Even if you don't blame him, he should admit it and he will never shirk it."
"The Third Highness is the prince after all. It's okay for him to say a few more words. I have many enemies in the court, so I have to be more cautious." Zhuo Yushi replied without any sincerity, "I don't think the Third Highness intends to let him go.
The surname is Wang."
The prince was convinced.
Regarding the Wang family, Zhuo Yushi is in a dilemma. As Zhuo Yushi himself said, there must be more than just one reason for Mr. Wang to take office. With Zhuo Yushi's current official position, Mr. Wang's reputation will be ruined and his life will be worse than death.
Very easy.
Mu Anzhi, on the other hand, has always been dissatisfied with the verdict. If someone like the Wang family can scold Mr. Wang to death, he probably doesn't care about reputation at all.
It doesn’t matter that Mr. Wang is dead. It’s only because of the kindness of the court that the court didn’t investigate such an unjust case during his tenure, but he himself is ashamed of it!
