Chapter 72: The Case of Li Zhen (17)

Li Zhen trembled: "If, if there is only one person in this world who wants me to die, it is Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard!"

At this moment, everyone's hearts were pounding, and Ji Gang was even more violent, "What are you talking about? You are just the head of a department, your status is so low that you have never seen this official at all, you actually have such a big face, saying that this seat wants you to die? Which onion are you that can make this seat go to great lengths to kill you?"

"Master Ji is so impatient, it reminds me of a word," Xue Jun snorted coldly: "Tell the dog to jump over the wall!"

Ji Gang was furious, "You said I'm a dog?"

The corners of Xue Jun's mouth pulled a slight arc, and soon disappeared: "This is what Master Ji said himself!"

Ji Gang was about to pounce on his legs, and a few of Ying Tianfu's soap subordinates hurriedly greeted him, they would not let their beloved Xue Mansion Yin suffer any harm - but Ji Gang himself restrained his feet, and the expression on his face gradually sank: "Lord Xue, this seat will see you put it out like you today, and see what kind of crime you can convict this seat in the end!"

As the interrogation continued, Xue Jun lightly reassured Li Zhen and asked him why he had accused Ji Gang. Li Zhen said after a while: "The reason why Master Ji wants to kill me is because I know a secret that he can't tell!"

"What secret?" Everyone in the hall stared at Xue Jun, the secret that could make Ji Gang kill people must be terrible!

In the crowd, there were different looks, some worried, some excited, some frightened - but it was actually Wang An and Yishiha who were sitting on pins and needles, they were worried about this secret, whether it would involve the palace, if so, then it was put in front of the lobby in front of everyone, wouldn't it be very inappropriate?

Wang An just stood up to speak, but heard that Li Zhen had already told the secret: "He instructed me to report the fraud in the first year of Yongle, and wanted to build a big prison, and the goal was to solve the chief examiner!"

The people in the hall never expected that the truth would be like this, and everyone was shocked for a while, and the entire solemn public hall became as noisy as a vegetable market.

According to Li Zhen, Ji Gang found him and asked him to come forward to report the fraud in the summer of the first year of Yongle, and the chief examiner Xie Jin leaked the exam questions to Jiangxi Juzi, so that Jiangxi Juzi passed the test one after another.

He said," Li Zhen said: "The case in the first year of Yongle has been eight years since today, and the emperor knows about it, and there is no way to investigate it exhaustively, because the Jinshi of the past are now high-ranking officials in various departments, and he said that the emperor will only punish the chief examiner Xie Jin! This is what Ji Gang clearly said to me, and he assured me that as long as I take the lead in denunciation, the emperor will not raise a big prison, but will only pursue Xie Jin, and I can be added to the rank and knighthood, and I can rise steadily." ”

Xue Jun didn't stop the noise in the lobby, because he himself was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

Li Zhen was a jinshi from the summer list in the first year of Yongle, and the chief examiner of the summer list that year was Xie Jin, and Xie Jin was a native of Jishui, Jiangxi, from the Hongwu Dynasty to the present, Jiangxi people basically monopolized the candidates for Sanding Jia and Shujishi, so that the courtiers of Chinese spoke Gan, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries were all from Jiangxi. Regardless of the proportion of officials in the DPRK and China, just looking at a cabinet, among the six people, only Huang Huai and Yang Rong are not from Jiangxi, and the remaining four were all born in Jiangxi. What is the situation here, is it really that Jiangxi Juzi is smarter than other places? I'm afraid not.

But this matter does not surface on the surface, the reason is that there are too many Jiangxi people in the DPRK, if you dare to report one, a large number of people will be implicated, and the Jiangxi people who are lucky enough not to die will come back with revenge sooner or later-

The high-ranking officials present and the people who can achieve the position of the six ministries and nine secretaries all know in their hearts, and it is impossible to say that it is impossible to leak the questions on a large scale, but among the few people who are determined, it is true that they can get through the "joints".

The civil officials sitting here felt that Ji Gang was preparing to deal with the Jiangxi Gang, and any guarantee that the prison would not be built was a lie, if Ji Gang really wanted to handle such a case, it would be really bloody, and they officials would have no shame.

And Ji Gang was even more angry, he felt that these civilian officials were fighting against each other, laying a shocking net, and wanted to take advantage of the emperor's absence to pull him off the horse-

"Kid dare!" Ji Gang's beard was all open, and his eyes were scarlet: "No one in this world dares to frame this seat like this!"

How many people in the Ming Dynasty can withstand Ji Gang's obscenity? Even Xue Jun couldn't help but palpitate a little when he faced his pair of fire-breathing moves. What's more, Li Zhen, who had just been pulled back from the Ghost Gate, saw that Li Zhen was trembling with fright, but he still held on and said: "What I said, every sentence is true, every sentence is true!"

"You said that Ji Gang came to you," Xue Jun said: "I used your promotion as bait to report you for fraud in the imperial examination in the first year of Yongle, so how did you reply? Did you listen to him?"

Li Zhen couldn't help but bury her face in her hands, and a whimpering voice came out: "He threatened me with my family...... Say I'm going to kill them all if I don't tell them......"

"Understood," Xue Jun said: " You were threatened, but before he Ji Dudu's plan began, you were impeached and imprisoned by Qin Heng for taking bribes, so he Ji Gang specially found the Metropolitan Procuratorate and asked Chen Ying to suspend the sentence, but I didn't expect your wife to beat the drum, this is not good, the six ministries and Jiuqing all came to the court for trial, and he Ji Gang was afraid that during the court trial, you would tell his conspiracy, so he simply didn't do anything, asked for an official document from Chen Ying, and pretended to be a person from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and went to prison, wanting to use torture to create the illusion of torture to death. ”

"God's eyes are like lightning, and it is difficult to be deceived by the heavens," Xue Junyi patted the shocked wood and said: "Ji Gang, you have committed such a crime, do you still have to fight to the end!"

"Blind fucking bullshit!" Ji Gang's eyes showed a fierce look, as if he was really going to kill someone, "I killed you!"

More than a dozen soap subordinates rushed forward and stopped Ji Gang, who was like a vicious dog that wanted to devour people, and let out an angry and sharp roar: "A bunch of nonsense, a bunch of nonsense! You actually allowed him to talk nonsense and frame the minister in the public court! Why don't you not punish him! Let Jinyiwei boil him and see if he dares to talk nonsense in my hands!"

"Can this official still hand over the human card to you? I really handed it over to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him tomorrow morning," Xue Lu glanced at him contemptuously: "Ladies and gentlemen, take a good look, what does Master Ji look like when he jumps off the wall in a hurry, I'm afraid there will be no such shop in this village." ”

He said without ignoring the faint snickering in the hall and Ji Gang's dark face, and continued to ask: "Li Zhen, Ji Gang is blackmailing you like this, but there is evidence, is there any evidence that is not verbal?"

"Yes," Li Zhen said, "he gave me an inkstone, saying that he knew that my family was poor." ”

"Inkstone?" Xue Jun frowned and said, "Another inkstone?"

"He gave me a duanyan," Li Zhen lowered his head and said, "It is said to be worth ten thousand yuan, I don't dare to accept it, so he forced it into me." I was afraid that this thing would cause trouble, so I buried it under the corner of my house. And because of my weak heart, I knocked over my commonly used inkstone, and Soo Liye Zhuan volunteered to bring a piece back from my hometown for me, which is the cause and effect. ”
