The seventeenth year of Jingxuan, the first early dynasty of the new year. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A black cloud hung over the palace, and from time to time there were a few crows of crows.

Sima Chu sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the courtiers in the hall, old and young. They are all respectful and persistent wat boards, standing in order of rank.

"A few days ago, you must have heard of the theft of Juyuan Pavilion. Fortunately, Ni Zhen, the commander of the forbidden army, worked hard all night to arrest this group of daring bandits. ”

There was a whisper of appreciation from below.

Sima Chu slapped his palm on the armrest of the dragon chair and said, "But there are always some people who have no king's law and despise the king's authority. and the prisoners who were imprisoned in the prison were destroyed. ”

"The prison of the criminal department is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are heavy guards at the entrance, and if there is no internal mole inside, I am afraid that it will not be possible. Someone arched his hand. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Hearing this, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department hurriedly knelt down and said: "I also hope that Your Majesty Mingjian, since Weichen took over the post of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he has been conscientious and conscientious, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest. ”

"Oh, then, please tell me how the assassin got into the prison, and how this killer is like the monkey in the play, and he can't change in seventy-two?" someone retorted.

The criminal department Shangshu looked at the Seventh Prince as if asking for help. He really couldn't argue with this.

"Father, the sons and daughters think that this matter is still strange, and it needs to be carefully investigated, so that no one is wronged. Sima Yan arched his hand.

Sima Jie also stepped forward and said, "Seventh brother, this is wrong. As the saying goes, the food is the king's lu, and the king's worries are born. If they are in their position and do not have the corresponding ability to handle all the affairs. I'm afraid that it will be like that moth, and sooner or later it will be exposed. Moreover, the Criminal Department is in charge of the world's cases, and if the person in charge cannot share the worries of the king, he cannot avenge the people. What will such a ruler do?"

Sima Yan gritted his teeth angrily and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are biased. No one is born with anything. It still needs to be experienced and improved. Could it be that the prince will run away when he is born?"

Sima Jie glanced at Sima Yan and said, "This can't be an excuse after making a mistake." ”

Sima Yan was about to refute, but was stopped by Sima Chu's angry shout.

"Enough. I know that there is a lot of noise all day long. It's all about evidence. I will not wronged a good person, but I will not spare anyone who is disloyal to the court. Sima Chu's eyes roamed over the bodies of the courtiers. Like a scanner, you can distinguish good and evil from true and false at a glance.

Everyone bowed their heads and fell silent, and the atmosphere in the hall became heavy for a while, and even the sound of breathing weakened.

"Ni Zhen!"

"The subordinates are here. ”

"Tell me about the results of the investigation into the murder of the prisoner. Sima Chu said coldly.

"Yes. The subordinates were ordered by the Holy Lord to secretly investigate the case. All the guards on duty that night were interrogated. It was found that only at the time of the shift was handed over, the chief of the guard had gathered all the guards and gave a brief lecture. And in this short period of time, the killer entered the prison. Later, his subordinates arrested the chief of the guard and interrogated him. As expected, he was in the same league as the killer. ”

"After those killers killed, they also killed people in this way and then got out of prison?" Someone asked suspiciously.

Ni Zhen smiled contemptuously: "Of course not. The killers were clearly calculated. After the killing, these people took off their night clothes, changed into the clothes of the guards they had prepared earlier, and quietly stood in the shadows at the door. When the guards on the night patrol find the dead, the prison will be in chaos. When the time comes, there will be a lot of people, and no one will notice anyone. This group can fish in troubled waters. Generously out of the prison. ”

The subordinates also found a black cloth covering their faces behind the door of the prison. ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department collapsed softly on the ground, and the Criminal Department under his jurisdiction turned out to be a thief, and he was really to blame. So he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty is angry, and the minister's rule is not strict, so he has something to eat inside and out." Guilty of subjugation. ”

Sima Chu's gaze was like a venomous snake, glowing with a cold light, staring straight at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. shouted angrily: "Haven't you told the truth at this point?"

"The minister is frightened, I really don't know what His Majesty said. The criminal department still kowtowed.

Sima Chu motioned to Ni Zhen to continue, "My subordinates investigated the theft of the jade bottle, but they didn't want to lead to a heinous abduction and trafficking case. Some people searched for good-looking boys and girls everywhere, and imprisoned and trained them to be pawns for Israeli servants to get news from the DPRK and China. ”

The faces of the courtiers were different, some were indignant, some looked panicked, and some had nothing to do with themselves......

Combined with the confession of the chief of the guard, the minister collected several letters from Shangshu's home, but the person who wrote the letter was cautious and did not leave any money. But from the content of the letter, it can be seen that Shang Shu Ke was also involved. All the evidence obtained has been presented to His Majesty, so does Lord Shangshu still have to deny it?" Ni Zhen's face sank and he said angrily.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department was drunk by this, and only knelt and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The minister is wronged." Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear. The minister's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the blue sky can be expressed. The minister is wronged. ”

Sima Chu couldn't see such a soft bone wagging his tail and begging for mercy, and said: "The Shangshu of the Criminal Department colluded with thieves, disregarded the law and discipline, violated the law in knowledge of the law, and abused his power and other crimes. Several crimes were punished together, all adult men in Shangshu Mansion were beheaded, and women were all accepted as official slaves. and all the property that was stolen was returned to the treasury. ”

"Your Majesty spares your life. Your Majesty......"

This once extremely popular minister was dragged out by the forbidden army like a lost dog.

Once honored, once destroyed.

Sima Jie looked in the direction of the temple gate, and said with the schadenfreude of the bystanders: "Tsk...... It's really a lack of people's hearts. It is already an official residence. I don't want to worry about the king, and I think about filling my pockets all day long, which is really damned. ”

Sima Chu looked at everyone coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Who among you is involved in the abduction and trafficking of boys and girls to sell their lust to obtain news. I have a mirror in my heart. ”

"Sun Dian, are you guilty?"

With fine beads of sweat on his forehead, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu knelt straight down and said, "Minister, I don't know what Your Majesty said?"

"The Ministry of Rites is a model of etiquette in a country. As a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, how can you know the law and break the law, and do such a thing that violates human ethics. Do you know that one named Xiao Se?" asked Sima Chu in a deep voice.

Sun Dian's heart was shocked, and he knew that the secret could no longer be hidden. Although he is familiar with the sages, he knows etiquette and shame. Helpless, but he loves men, especially handsome men.

When he saw Xiao Se for the first time, he fell in love with this beautiful man like a frightened little beast. He was obsessed with his preoccupied eyes, obsessed with his body.

Sima Chu also knew that it was inconvenient to talk about such a thing, and if he really said that it hurt the dignity of the royal family, he asked again: "Sun Shangshu, are you guilty?"

Sun Dian also knew what His Majesty meant, and touched his forehead to the ground and said, "The minister is guilty." Please punish Your Majesty. ”

Sima Chu nodded, very satisfied with Sun Dian's knowledge, and said: "Sun Dian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has lost his behavior and virtue, and now he has been removed from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites and demoted to the common people." Forever forbidden to enter Beijing. ”

Sun Dian kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty." "Fortunately, it is not like the book of the criminal department, and the family is ruined.
