Chapter 64: Li Zhen's Case (9)

"It's really arrogant, arrogant! Treat the Dali Temple, which is strict with the law of the country, as his own backyard, come as he wants, and leave as he wants," Xue Junqiang suppressed his anger: "Treat the six departments and nine qing, civil and military weapons as monkeys!"

Although the high-ranking officials of the six ministries did feel like they were being played like monkeys, it was a little embarrassing to say it clearly, and everyone looked at Chen Jun and Yang Cheshu's eyes, full of suspicion and judgment.

And Chen Junhao Yang Cheshu was even more surprised and self-doubting than them, and cold sweat fell layer by layer, at this time Tang Zong scolded: "What's the matter with the official document, you two don't pretend to be innocent!"

"My lord, we didn't do it!" Chen Jun shouted wrongly: "It's impossible for the two of us not to know, this thing is a life-saving straw to reduce the guilt, even if you don't hide it in advance, it is impossible to burn it." If we ordered it to be burned, wouldn't it be even more unclean to the case?"

He was right, this thing is proof that he is acting impartially, they saw this thing last night, and only then handed over the key to the prison to the person who came, and now that this thing has gone wrong, their suspicions and guilt have suddenly increased.

Xue Jun stared at Yang Cheshu tightly, and said word by word: "Now that this thing has been burned, no one can prove whether you got the official document of the Metropolitan Procuratorate last night, or the handwritten letter from a certain big person!

"This official will ask you again!" Xue Jun sternly shouted: "You two are people who have been handling cases for many years, and you can completely dismiss an official document! It is impossible to be so stupid as to know that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is involved in the case, and you can still let people in, and you will not be unaware of the evil consequences of doing so! If no one promises to keep you safe, you will definitely not kill yourself -- if you don't understand this matter, then the official will make it clear, and you will become the biggest suspect in this case, and you will know what the end will be!" Don't be a scapegoat for some people without knowing it!"

"I'll tell you the truth!" Chen Jun has been looking like dirt since he knew that the thing was burned: "That official document is the official document of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but it also carries one other thing, I put this thing together with the official document, and now it is all burned!"

"What is it?" everyone held their breath as the case finally reached a critical point.

"Yes, it's a letter," Chen Jun trembled like chaff: "It's Chen Ying, the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace, a handwritten letter to me!"

Chen Ying's name was finally mentioned, but there was no imaginary explosion, it seemed that everyone was sure that this person would definitely appear in this case, and the entire lobby, where more than thirty people were sitting, actually became breathing. Only the secretary who has been working hard to write, has worked in Dali Temple for several years, and it is the first time to see such a big scene, and he is shocked to hear such a big inside story, so he was so frightened that he stopped his wrist and stood up in fear, his forehead including the whole face has been covered with sweat.

Xue Jun also saw his appearance, "Don't you dare to remember?" What are you afraid of, is this person a jackal, tiger and leopard, when you hear his name, you are scared and urinate?"

The secretary wiped it away tremblingly, and continued to start a new round of hard work.

"How can you be sure it's handwritten?" Xue Jun asked.

"Lord Chen supervises Dali Temple, and there is often a note assigned to it, saying that the case of so-and-so, whether it is verified or not, and whether the criminal should be killed-" Chen Jun said: "Yang Cheshu and I are most familiar with his handwriting. ”

Tang Zong's face has already turned into a pig's liver color, Chen Ying often oversteps the level to instruct the officials of Dali Temple, he, the righteous chief of Dali Temple, is often disobeyed and ignored by his subordinates - he is not unaware of this situation, but he is helpless to know, although the emperor let him be in charge of Dali Temple, but he, an official, has long been hollowed out by his subordinates. Now that he was pointed out by his subordinates, he only felt that everyone looked at him with ridicule and contempt.

"So I recognize his handwriting well. Chen Jun said firmly: "He asked me to open the prison door and make it convenient - I dare not listen." ”

"It's not that you don't dare not listen," Xue Junyi patted the stunned wood and said, "In his letter, what benefits did he promise you!"

"He said, he said that as long as the prison door is opened," Chen Jun almost sat on the ground: "In the next two years, I will be guaranteed to be the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple!"

"So you admit that you and the six people who appeared in the prison of Dali Temple were indeed instructed by Chen Ying," Xue Jundao said: "Torture Li Zhen and Ye Zhuan and other four people to extract confessions, and torture them to death?"

After getting the confessions of Yang Cheshu and Chen Jun in the court, Xue Jun didn't let go of his breath, he looked out of the hall - because Chen Ying, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, with a total of eighty-four people from his courtyard, including the thirty-seven imperial historians, wrestlers, and miscellaneous servants, had arrived.

"Chen Ying, the imperial history of the left capital, went to the hall," Xue Junyi patted the hall in shock: "Confront Chen Jun and Yang Cheshu of Dali Temple!"

When Chen Ying went to the court, it took almost some effort for the six departments and Jiuqing to suppress the habit of wanting to stand up to greet him—but almost everyone was swept away by Chen Ying's scorching gaze, and they couldn't help but palpitate.

Only Xue Jun didn't have the slightest look of fear, he got up first and saluted, "Lord Chen, it is said that you are a Shangguan, but now that I am investigating the case on the orders of the prince, I hope that the adults can do their best to cooperate." ”

Ying Tianfu Yin is the third grade, but Zuodu Yushi is the second grade, and Chen Ying even got a seat in the lobby.

"May I ask my lord, who are the officials involved in Li Zhen's case, Yuan Gang and Qin Heng?" Xue Jun did not start with Chen Jun first, but asked Yuan Gang.

"They are the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they are my Chen Ying's subordinates. Chen Ying said unhurriedly.

"Those two people framed Li Zhen, the head of the military department, for personal gain," Xue Jun said: "Do you know?"

"Xue Fuyin, you have to say it carefully," Chen Ying said: "Yuan Gang and Qin Heng are good for personal gain, but whether it is framed, the adults are managing this case, don't they know better than me? ”

Xue Jun suffered a loss in words, but he was not discouraged: "Emperor Taizu Gao set up the Metropolitan Procuratorate, specifically to supervise the dynasty and picket lawlessness, it is said that everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate should abandon selfishness, do the right way, and be loyal." But what is the actual situation? Let's just say that the two imperial histories, Yuan Gang and Qin Heng, are they searching for details and harboring personal enmity because of their own selfishness? The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the first place to inherit the constitution, and if the atmosphere is right, the atmosphere of the imperial court is right, and if the atmosphere is not right, then the world is full of unhealthy trends! Lord Chen, I don't know if what the lower officials said is right?"

"Everyone has their own selfish intentions," Chen Ying said slowly: "This official is not in charge of grass and trees. It's just their selfishness, I'm afraid everyone has it. Dare to ask Lord Xue, what would you do if someone trampled on a horse and injured your mother and was shielded and exonerated from the crime?

Xue Jun didn't speak for a while, and Chen Ying said: "Yuan Gang's selfishness is too slight compared to those who take revenge with jealousy and grievances. ”

Among the six high-ranking officials of the Jiuqing Ministry, some people have different expressions.

Like Li Zhigang, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites who had just returned home, he was jealous of Xie Jin's talent and Xie Jin's unabashed words that offended him, so he participated in his book, which caused Xie Jin's Jiangxi political secretary to lose his official son and went to Jiaozhi to supervise the transportation of grain.

The hearts of these people who were said to be shocked because Chen Ying seemed to have seen their selfishness and mastered their evidence.
