Although Zhang Shou and the Zhu family did not publicize the unsuccessful assassination on the night of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, an assassin was sent directly to the Shuntian government office, and two groups of local ruffians who were tricked into fighting without knowing what was going on were taken.
Naturally, there were a lot of rumors about such a big event. By the morning of the Lantern Festival, the 15th day of the first lunar month, it had become a hot topic in the streets.
Of course, it was not that no one criticized Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying for traveling together in the car at night despite not having a marriage certificate. However, because Zhu Tingfang, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, was also present, the voices quickly died down. On the contrary, all officials and people
I am very curious as to who would use such a despicable method to assassinate this young man and woman who looked like a couple of gods.
At the court meeting on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Jie, who had not yet handed over his position as Shuntian Prefecture Yin, bluntly announced the results of Song Tuiguan's trial in Fengtian Hall. The assassin who failed to assassinate was executed.
These gangsters were gangsters, each with a forty-year-old cane and two years of hard labor. As for the person behind the scenes who everyone is most concerned about, Wang Jie gave an answer that surprised many people.
"The assassin was one of the targets placed by the traitors in the Linhai camp in the capital. He used to hang out in various religions and inquire about various news inside and outside the court. However, the traitors who had escaped before were arrested one by one because of Dr. Zhang. He harbored a grudge in his heart.
, I took advantage of this opportunity of the conflict between the imperial censor and the Duke of Zhao to try to fish in troubled waters, but I didn’t want to end up falling into the law.”
Knowing that this was an answer that many people would be relieved to hear, the outgoing Shuntian Prefect looked around coldly at the ministers who had different reactions, taking in all their expressions, and then looked at the emperor on the throne.
In fact, he had been interviewed a day earlier. The short man was indeed a dead man.
It was an accurate confession, so after reporting it to the emperor, since the emperor acquiesced, he used the answer that could be made public.
Seeing that the officials gradually became quiet after whispering, he said calmly: "Besides, the old beggar who banged her head against the drum and reported that a certain censor framed a local prominent family was because her granddaughter was murdered.
She was abducted and threatened, so she had no choice but to be held hostage, and she desperately tried to file a complaint. Fortunately, she survived, and I also found her granddaughter."
The case that occurred on New Year's Eve has already been resolved within the fifteen days that the Yamen sealed it - including the investigation of the case of Zhang Shou and the assassins and local bullies who were thrown over by the Zhu family of Duke Zhao.
Clearly - with such efficiency, the eyes of the court officials looking at Wang Jie looked a little different.
As expected of Wang Datou, who has taken on so many messy and unsolved cases recently, he will not pass the blame to his successor after leaving office!
The emperor didn't hear Wang Jie mention this matter yesterday, so he couldn't help but have doubts. Now he heard the unfinished meaning in these words, and he immediately asked: "Since the granddaughter who was taken as a hostage was rescued by Wang Qing.
Come back, could it be that you got the correct answer from this old beggar who falsely accused a certain censor?"
Wang Jie glanced at the group of censors who were standing very close to the emperor with a blank expression, and a sneer appeared on his face - the censors had the same humble position as Gai Shizhong.
It can be seen from the position of the class. It is a pity that they, who are supposed to be mouthpieces, behind the illusion of not being afraid of the powerful, are actually often used as guns by another group of powerful people.
So, he lowered his eyelids slightly and said calmly: "The old beggar said that the person who asked her to complain was none other than the royal censor whom she beat her head against."
Although there had been similar speculations in the officialdom, when Wang Jie really said it outright, it still caused an uproar. Among them, Chen Yushi, who was already on tenterhooks, was even more shocked and angry, and did not even care that it was looking at the sun.
At the Yuan Festival meeting, he suddenly jumped out.
"Wang Datou, you colluded with the Zhu family, so you slandered others!" How could the old beggar know that he did it!
Zhang Shou didn't have to come to court today, but Wang Jie told him yesterday that he needed to be there to watch today, and the emperor also told him to go to court, so he had to come. But now, he feels
I really came to the right place today.
Because it’s rare to be able to watch other people’s confrontations so easily and comfortably!
Sure enough, in the face of the angry counter-examination, Wang Jie still said calmly: "A few days ago, a concierge of your family made a big statement that the Zhu family of the Duke of Zhao had framed you, and was witnessed by at least dozens of people. Although you
When he found out that the matter was getting serious, he locked him up at home, but the granddaughter of the old beggar woman has identified that the concierge had seen the person who abducted her."
As soon as these words came out, the square-faced and upright censor was simply furious. He couldn't believe that Wang Datou, who was always known for his uprightness, had learned how to frame a false accusation. He was so angry that he trembled: "This is ridiculous! That little girl can't do anything.
At eight years old, what does she know!"
Facing that angry face, Wang Jie suddenly smiled meaningfully: "Oh? How does Chen Yushi know that the old beggar's granddaughter is only eight years old? Have you ever seen her?"
Seeing many eyes suddenly focusing on his face, Chen Yushi immediately screamed secretly, knowing that he had been fooled by Wang Datou because of his anger. However, until now, he could only grit his teeth and hold on: "
That old woman falsely accused me first, can't I send someone to find out her details?"
"It is naturally easy to check her details. The old beggar has been begging with her little granddaughter in the outer city for two years. However, others only know that she is bringing the little granddaughter with her, but few people know how old the little granddaughter is.
How old is Fang?" Wang Jie paused as he spoke, and suddenly said in a more serious tone, "What's more, that little girl lacks food and clothing, but she is seven or eight years old, but she looks like she is five or six years old!"
When Zhang Shou saw that Chen Yushi was angered by Wang Jie, he realized that Wang Datou was using a trick. However, after deceiving Chen Yushi, the Shuntian Prefecture Yin discovered from such subtle details
He could not help but admire the meticulousness, and then opened a hole to go deep.
"So what? The people I sent out to inquire asked carefully. The old beggar's granddaughter is eight years old!"
Seeing that although Chen Yushi was trying to keep calm, his forehead was gradually showing sweat, Wang Jie continued to say calmly: "The old beggar often haunts a fixed area in the outer city. Song Tuiguan personally leads people there.
I waited for three whole days and asked everyone, but no one knew the age of her granddaughter. So, I would like to ask Chen Yushi, from whom did you learn that her granddaughter is no more than eight years old?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Jie would really get to the bottom of it, and the Song official was so careful. He found that the more he said, the more he was wrong. Chen Yushi simply gritted his teeth and kept silent, but in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly hate the person who secretly bribed a local snake.
The henchman who did this is really a bastard.
What does the little girl's age matter? She actually told him specifically that these words were pulled from the little girl's mouth. She also boasted that although the eight-year-old girl was unkempt, she would turn out to be a beauty after being cleaned.
Such a lovely thing... If not for this, how could he remember such an insignificant thing!
He was angry and anxious, but what Wang Jie said next made him feel numb for a moment as he was already feeling something bad!
"Just when Lin Huhu, the head of the execution room of Shuntian Prefecture, went to rescue the old beggar's granddaughter with his elite soldiers, when he broke down the door, the person who abducted her inside actually shouted loudly, saying that people from Zhao Guogong's residence had come in! A
It’s really a coincidence that the despicable and shameless person who kidnapped a young girl used the same method as the concierge of your family who was shouting that the Duke of Zhao had framed you."
Chen Yushi didn't know how the other censors behind him reacted. He only knew that he was pushed to the edge of the cliff by Wang Datou! He didn't care about all that, his eyes widened, and he shouted with grief and anger: "Desire"
If you are guilty, there is no excuse for it. Wang Datou, if you have the ability to produce personal and material evidence, don't frame me with false accusations!"
Wang Jie glanced at the crowd and saw that many people looked at him with complicated expressions. He knew that some people felt that he and Zhu Jiahang were colluding, and some people felt that they had no basis, so they were playing tricks on Fengtian Palace.
Verbal trap. He smiled, and then said bluntly: "Evidence? Of course there is."
Seeing that Chen Yushi was struck by lightning, he looked directly into Chen Yushi's eyes coldly: "Chen Yushi, your concierge who claimed that Zhao Guogong's government framed you is still in your house, right?"
Trying not to look at the eyes around him, Chen Yushi pretended to be calm and said: "This man is talking nonsense. I will put him under house arrest to prevent him from going out to talk nonsense again and ruin my reputation..."
"Does Chen Yushi know that when the guy who abducted the old beggar's granddaughter fell into the hands of Lin Laohu, he couldn't bear the beating and took the initiative to confess that he did happen to meet your concierge. That time, the person was with him
The local snake above contacted him and asked him to kidnap people?"
"You probably wouldn't have thought that the confidant you sent to do this thing didn't know any local gangsters in the capital, so he used this concierge who was very good at flattering people to come and deal with people? And it was also this smart-aleck guy.
, claiming to that local snake that he is from Duke Zhao's mansion, and then letting that local snake order the abducted guy to make such a noise when something happens."
"It's a pity that your concierge thinks he is smart. He used your name to express favors more than once at the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen and Daxing Wanping County Yamen, and he has kept a record of the case. My previous Shuntian Prefecture Yindu
He has a calming temperament, and the previous county magistrates were all incompetent people who didn’t take care of him, so he didn’t touch him. But he should never be too smart and run into my hands!"
Wang Jie's voice got louder little by little, and finally the sharp rebuke echoed in the Fengtian Palace, while Chen Yushi's face turned pale little by little, and he unknowingly stepped back, and finally subconsciously kicked his ass.
Sitting paralyzed on the ground.
When he finally woke up from a dream, he could only look up at other people's eyes from bottom to top. When he saw those eyes that looked either with contempt or disdain, or with sighs or pity, he knew that he might be in a bad situation this time.
Even if the eldest prince can enter the East Palace and ascend the throne as emperor in the future, I am afraid he will never be able to turn over!
The other censors, who were quite calm at first, saw that Chen Yushi was severely beaten by Wang Jie's pressing offensive, and finally suffered a complete defeat. Their faces turned pale for a moment. Who would have thought that Chen Yushi was actually a
He fell into the hands of his concierge! Do they have such a servant in their family? Think more deeply, do they have such a family member?
Therefore, when Wang Jie turned to look at them, they seemed to feel that the eyes of the other party were full of predatory eyes, their knees were weak, their scalps were numb, and their backs were sweating. However, just as they were
While waiting for the verdict, Wang Jie smiled slightly at them, but his smile seemed a bit cold.
Almost subconsciously, the Sui Yushi, who had always had a good relationship with Chen Yushi, immediately stood up and said sadly: "Your Majesty, I am not strict with you, and there are actually a few Diao Guogong in the family who want to bite Zhao Guogong without any evidence.
Slave, I really deserve death! Regardless of whether the previous cases related to me in the government are true or false, it still shows that I have a good reputation as an official."
"I have betrayed the emperor's trust. I resign to supervise the censor!"
Rather than being found out by Wang Datou again for any messy charges, it is better to get out of here quickly and maybe keep your reputation!
The Sui Yushi took the lead, and the other three Yushi suddenly woke up from a dream, and one after another stood up to accuse them. They first avoided the most important and complained about their incompetence, so that there was such a disgusting slave in the family, and then they did not dare to say anything.
The accusations against them when they went to the Yamen were all nonsense, so they could only admit their mistakes like the censor of the Sui Dynasty in vague terms, and in the end they were so sincere that they cried out for resignation.
Seeing that after Wang Jie opened a hole, the enemy fell into a huge rout. Zhang Shou couldn't help but chuckle to himself. But the next moment, he saw Wang Jie looking at him, narrowing his eyes slightly and smiling at him.
Then, this man who was a serious and strong-willed man said a few words in an understatement.
"You, the imperial censors, are so sincere in resigning. This is indeed a noble act. Please note that I haven't had time to investigate all the cases yet."
Zhang Shou clearly saw that when Wang Jie finished speaking, everyone who had just sincerely resigned turned to look at Wang Datou. Their eyes were full of hatred, as if they wanted to swallow people up! Although he expected Wang Jie
It was impossible for him to be so capable and to investigate all the false accusation cases, but he was still surprised when he revealed his trump card even though he had already accomplished the job.
However, the emperor knew what kind of person Wang Jie was. Wang Datou was still strong and upright, and did not care about other people's eyes or opinions, so he acted cunningly and allowed the cunning man to reveal his true face.
I don't want to continue to be deceitful, but choose to expose the real facts directly in front of everyone.
Although such ministers are not liked by most people, he likes them very much.
At that moment, he signaled Gao Xuan, the eunuch on the side, to be quiet, and then, under the gaze of many courtiers, he said in a deep voice: "Retire the post of censor of Chenji Supervision, and hand it over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, Criminal Ministry, and the Third Division to try the false accusations made by his servants.
Minister, you have colluded with traitors and abducted women of the people. The remaining resignations will be approved."
The several censors who had just glared at Wang Jie immediately trembled, and no longer dared to take any chances. The emperor had already directly used the three law divisions to interrogate Chen censor. If they didn't know each other and continued to fall in love,
, then wouldn’t they definitely be added to the list of people who will be tried together by the three judicial divisions?
