Chapter Seventy-Three: The Case of Li Zhen (18)

Xue Jun immediately ordered someone to dig up the buried inkstone from his home according to Li Zhen's instructions. Lu Zhen, who is still proficient in antiques, gasped as soon as he got it in his hand, and said: "Among the stone eyes, the robin eye is the most expensive, and the best robin eye is verdant green, and look at this stone eye The lines are clear, the outline is clear, the pupils are clear, and the halo is twelve layers, it must be from the old pit, and it is priceless." ”

At this time, he seemed to see a line of words from the back of the inkstone, and before he could take a closer look, Li Zhen said: "This is Huang Tingjian's self-acting inkstone, what Master Ji said." ”

If the treasure is stamped with a celebrity effect, it will be even more incredible, Lu Zhen couldn't put it down, until Jian Yi saw his salivating appearance and coughed lightly, Lu Zhen put down the thing and said, "Then this thing should be priceless." ”

"So this thing is not something that can be sent by Soap Liye Zhuan, only Governor Ji can have such talent. Xue Jundao: "Ji Gang, now that the human and material evidence is complete, what else do you have to say?"

"Human and physical evidence, it's all bullshit!" Ji Gang said with a sarcastic smile: "It turns out that I heard that Yin Xue of Ying Tianfu can handle cases and can handle cases, and this seat also said that he will come to observe and observe today, but he has seen a good show! Why don't you ask Li Zhen how he received this inkstone? What day and hour was it? His wife Wang said that she had never seen Li Zhen bring bribes to her home, so what is the matter with this inkstone? He buried the inkstone, doesn't his wife know?"

Xue Jun patted the wood in surprise and said: "Women's family, you only know gold and silver treasure money, do you know that the inkstone is worth a lot of money?"

"Xue Jun, you are blinded by personal vendetta," Ji Gang showed a complicated expression for the first time: "You have already convicted me of my guilt in your heart, so you refuse to open your eyes to see these obvious flaws, you are also being taken advantage of." ”

Xue Jun was shocked in his heart, an idea that he had before had a tendency to gradually break through the ground, and he said: "Who has used this official?"

"I thought that you civil officials were colluding with each other, but now it seems that it may not be ......" Ji Gang's eyes swept over the inkstone, revealing a very strange and speculative expression: "There is a debtor who is wronged...... I'll just say that there are two people in this case, and you must have misjudged. ”

Before Xue Jun could speak, Ji Gang said: "Li Zhen, I have seen many scholars like you, many of them have succumbed to the torture of Jinyiwei, miserable worse than a dog—but there are also a few with bones, and they are indeed admirable." I took a closer look at these people, and found that they were not following the so-called beliefs, but because they were so good at fame, and fame was more valuable than life. Li Zhen, Li Zhen, if you dare to accuse me today, your reputation should be known to the whole world, right?"

No one saw Li Zhen's hands trembling under his sleeves, and Ji Gang no longer paid attention to him, but looked at Chen Ying: "Lord Chen, you and I are the same thing, and we should be in harmony, but I didn't expect you to move closer to them-"

He pointed to the quiet officials of the six ministries and said with a smile: "You are on the wrong path! They all say that the same way is a conspiracy, but the different way is different, then the mountains are high and the road is far away, and the rivers and lakes will see you again." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xue Jun, the presiding judge with a cloudy expression, and said, "Lord Xue, even if you are convicted, there are still many things to go back to the Zhenfu Division to deal with, so I won't accompany you." ”

"Presumptuous!" Xue Jun was completely angered by his arrogant actions: "You should be the public hall of Dali Temple, you are the Jinyi Guard, you can come if you want, and leave if you want!"

"Dali Temple has no precedent for arresting the commander of the Jinyi Guard, what crime do I have, only the emperor has the right to decide. Ji Gang laughed: "And I, Jinyiwei, have always been reluctant to come, no one can leave, I very much welcome Lord Xue to Jinyiwei as a guest, if you submit this conviction document, I think we will be able to meet soon." ”

Ji Gang fluttered away, the hall was silent, even if everyone knew Ji Gang's arrogance, but they were still shocked by his senseless attitude, Xue Jun was even more angry: "Ladies and gentlemen, the suspect Ji Gang refuses to admit guilt, what should I do?"

"This matter, let's report it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first," the head of Jian Yi's eyes showed solemnity and sadness: "There is indeed no precedent for the three legal divisions to try and convict the commander of the Jinyi Guard, this matter is out of scope, and the impact is unpredictable." ”

So on the desk of the East Palace, what was presented was a detailed description of the case, and Xue Jun waited for a long time before he saw the prince raise his head, revealing a tired look: "Lord Xue, you have done a good job, you are one of the few officials in the court who dares to speak the truth and is worthy of the laws of heaven and the country and his conscience." ”

Xue Jun thanked the prince for his praise and asked the prince how the case should be resolved. To his surprise, the prince shook his hand and said, "The file will be placed here for me first, your errand has been completed, who should be arrested and who should be investigated is a matter that should be discussed by the six departments and nine qing." Don't worry. ”

Xue Jun's eyes widened, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been encouraging him and supporting him to investigate, seemed to have changed overnight, and he wanted to put this case to a close point, why, is it because of Ji Gang, is it that even the prince is not willing to offend Ji Gang-because he found that this case has no way to bring down Ji Gang, but will shake his position!

He suddenly remembered what Wang Tongju had said to him before: "Just see if you will stop after the trial of Ji Gang." ”

After making such an important breakthrough, at a time when the situation was very good, he should have smashed the Yellow Dragon and pulled out all those giant beetles that plagued the country. Who knew that the prince had stopped! He held the handle and took the opportunity to make a deal with Ji Gang!

Xue Jun walked out of the main hall, and he felt for the first time that this place was not at all the height of the temple he longed for. He felt that it was time for him to return to his hometown and serve his mother.

And when Zhang Zhaohua stepped into the hall, he met his terrifying eyes: "How much have you been involved in this case?"

She was shocked: "What did you say?"

Gao Chi threw the file at her feet: "This case, it's not right to go to Ji Gang, you are really a great skill, such a clever means, you have to meddle in anything in the outer court, and you have to do it according to your will!"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Zhang Zhaohua refused to admit.

"When you find out about Chen Ying, you are not happy in every way and persuade me to calm down," Gao Chi stared at her tightly: "Say that the current situation is like a river of ice and it is difficult, and tell me not to lose my sacred heart-when I find Ji Gang, but you don't have a word of dissuasion, but you are provoking me to continue to check Ji Gang, I know that you must have stretched out your hand! What do you want, do you want to pull Ji Gang down?"

Zhang Zhaohua's heart calmed down slightly, she knew that Gao Chi should have only been aware, but she didn't know how deep her involvement was, so she said: "Chen Ying can't pull it, can you still pull the discipline gang? Since you are so suspicious, then don't move the discipline gang, you can punish Chen Ying according to your ideas! This time, it's all according to your ideas! I won't say a word!"

Gao Chi shook his head, so angry that his hands were trembling: "You must have done more than that, you, you are too presumptuous, too unscrupulous, you-"

He raised his hand, Zhang Zhaohua was involuntarily stunned for a moment, then grabbed his collar and howled: "You want to hit me!
