Chapter 376: Evidence
The atmosphere of the Golden Luang Hall was somewhat oppressive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Emperor Hui Chong sat on the throne, his hands against the golden armrests on both sides, his eyelids drooped, his face was heavy, his lips were slightly squirming, and he was obviously extremely angry.
The next hundred officials were quiet, there was no sound at all, and in the entire hall, only Jiang Jinghua's high-pitched voice was echoing back and forth, which was extremely clear in the empty Jinluan Palace.
“…… In four years, he received more than 50 bribes privately, and the silver taels were as high as 20,000 taels. ”
"The imperial examination is related to the country's great plan, and it should be fair and just, and this person is like a rat, and he actually uses it to make profits......"
“…… Such a big crime is not an exaggeration to be cut with a thousand knives, and I ask Your Majesty to be strict and fair, bring it to justice, and redress the grievances of thousands of candidates!"
Jiang Jinghua said impassionedly, and in the end, he cried bitterly.
As soon as he cried, the dull-looking officials standing in the main hall, all of whom had been selected by the imperial examination, also howled, and asked Emperor Hui Chong to find out the truth and give justice to the candidates.
This lively howl lasted for a while, making the Jinluan Hall at this time not like a place for deliberations, but a battlefield of fighting, with an inexplicable sense of comical.
Pang Xiuping, who was standing in the second column on the right, stopped Jiang Jinghua's crimes one by one, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He barely managed to compose, but the trembling legs betrayed his thoughts, clearly revealing his shock and panic.
"If there is no evidence, Lord Jiang should not talk nonsense! What kind of bribes, the annual marking of the file does not go through my hands, and there are many patrolmen and soldiers guarding me, how can I tamper with the results with one hand like this? What is the purpose of Lord Jiang when he says this? Could it be that you have been subservient to me for the past few years, and you are not convinced, so you deliberately fabricate evidence to slander me?"
Pang Xiuping argued.
By the end, his face had turned red and he looked very excited.
But his heart was weak for a while, and he almost couldn't support it.
How did Jiang Jinghua find out such a secret thing?
For no reason, why did he suddenly remember to track himself down.
……
These questions are like ants, constantly crawling around in his heart, scratching his heart and lungs, tormenting him back and forth.
And he himself was drenched in a cold sweat, as if he was about to collapse in the next moment.
But it was clear that he was familiar with the fact that he couldn't automatically reveal his stuff after being in the officialdom, so he didn't collapse, and the howls in the hall continued one after another.
"Your Majesty, the matter involves the imperial examination, and Weichen will never dare to say anything!"
Jiang Jinghua continued to cry.
He promised: "If what Wei Chen said is half false, he is willing to splash blood on the spot and make amends for the huge people in the court......"
Hearing his assurance, the people who were still on Pang Xiuping's side suddenly wavered.
The ancients swore a heavy oath, but it was not just talking, Jiang Jinghua dared to guarantee it like this, obviously there was actual evidence.
Emperor Hui Chong's eyelids were raised, and he glanced at Jiang Jinghua before raising his head and signaling Zhou Yu'an.
Zhou Yu'an understood, and hurriedly signaled the hundred officials to be quiet, and the crying in the hall stopped completely.
Jiang Aiqing's words are conclusive, and she can't believe Pang Xiuping's corruption and bribery. But it can't all be up to you, whether you're guilty or not depends on the facts...... Jiang Aiqing, let me ask you, do you have any evidence to present it in court?"
Emperor Hui Chong said that he didn't believe it, but his cold expression let Baiguan know that he had already believed most of it.
Hearing the ears of the two parties, these words were a taste again.
Jiang Jinghua said in his heart, it seems that the impact of the case four years ago was too deep, and His Majesty is still suspicious of me today.
Pang Xiuping was completely stunned in his heart.
Listening to His Majesty's intentions, he actually wanted to deal with this matter in front of the court, and he didn't even pass through the hands of the three divisions.
Throughout the ages, the cases that have been interrogated from the Jinluan Palace, the parties have rarely had a good end, and he is afraid that he will not get a good result today!
He almost fell to his knees in a panic.
"Returning to Your Majesty, it is natural to have them! Wechen had already brought them outside the palace gate when he came today......
Jiang Jinghua hesitated for a second, then immediately cheered up and dealt with Emperor Hui Chong's interrogation.
Without Emperor Hui Chong's eyes, Zhou Yu'an immediately shook off the dust and hurried out a few steps.
In a moment, several witnesses were called, and in addition, there was a thick stack of account books, which were carried by several chamberlains and placed in the Jinluan Palace.
Seeing the thick stack of ledgers, so well prepared, the hundred officials in the palace immediately began to discuss.
The direction of the wind in the hall changed in an instant, and most of the officials believed Jiang Jinghua's accusations.
After all, these people's certificates do not seem to be fake, and many people still vaguely recognize them, these people happen to be the two major ticket numbers of the Beijing Division: Xin Rilong, Baihuitong's Caidong and the shopkeeper.
As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, paper money Jiaozi appeared in China.
Because of its lightness and safety, Jiaozi played a role in its convenience in later commercial operations and was gradually promoted and used, but the real prosperity was forced to be promoted by Emperor Taizu during the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty.
Emperor Taizu set up a special ticket number for exchanging silver tickets, which made the commodity transaction convenient and conducive to balancing the income and expenditure of various regions within Daqi.
Today's two largest ticket numbers: Xin Rilong and Baihuitong, are among the best, using a half-official and half-civilian approach, which has always had excellent credit and transcendent status.
Seeing that Jiang Jinghua directly invited the Caidong and the manager of the two ticket numbers, Baiguan immediately knew that he had been prepared for this matter, and Jiang Jinghua must have someone behind him.
Who will the supporters be?
Baiguan maintained a steady standing posture, but his eyes slipped back and forth between Yue Ge Lao and Gao Ge Lao, lingering non-stop.
"Your Majesty!"
Several people were dressed in silk brocade clothes, but they were dressed very low-key, and after saluting in unison, they stood respectfully, waiting for Emperor Hui Chong to inquire.
"Let's get flat!"
In the face of these people, Emperor Hui Chong's face was quite easy-going.
A few people thanked them, and they didn't need Emperor Hui Chong to ask more, so they all explained it 1510.
“…… Every time the imperial examination season comes, the exchange slips of the large number of people who take the foreign exchange will soar a lot, and most of them are concentrated between the end of the examination and the release of the list......"
“…… The maximum amount of each bill of exchange is 200, which is a very high amount, but in previous years, a large number of people could occupy more than one white ......"
“…… The grass people carefully sorted out the account books, how the income and expenditure are in these account books, after the grass people listened to Lord Jiang's accusations, they immediately sorted it out, and His Majesty can immediately send someone to check it......"
Both sides of the argument are similar, which shows that these people used different ticket numbers when they were bills of exchange.
It's smart, but the sky net is magnificent, and if you do something bad, you will leave traces, and you can't escape the eyes of others after all.
