Guo Chengsi actually knew this, so he was still feeling sorry for Miss Zhang that she had to be punished with a cane and exiled for 3,000 miles. Miss Zhang's seemingly reckless move was actually a tragic determination to burn all the jade. It's just that Guo Chengsi didn't think about the next reaction of the imperial historians.

Guo Tinghui said in a deep voice: "Heir, you have always been shrewd, you should know what the consequences will be if you are entangled by the imperial historians. Originally, there were no things they didn't dare to say in all dynasties, and there was no one they didn't dare to move. Every day, if they don't look for something to come out, they will be impeached by dozens of bullets, and they all feel that they have taken the money for nothing. It's good that you actually sent a crime to you personally. At this time, I don't know how many people have been writing hard overnight to impeach you. ”

Guo Chengsi didn't care, he took another sip of tea, then put the teacup lightly, and said in a brisk tone: "What are you afraid of, lice are not itchy, anyway, I am used to being impeached by them, I heard that the emperor's impeachment of me in the imperial study is piled up into a mountain, but I haven't seen what the emperor does with me!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Guo Tinghui was also a little speechless. Indeed, the Criminal Department is the place that offends people the most. Therefore, the entire Criminal Department, from the Lord Shangshu to the left and right servants, has been impeached by the imperial history many more times than other officials.

"You! It's still too careless. Guo Tinghui couldn't help but teach: "In the past, the excerpts that impeached you were all trivial matters, after all, when it comes to the laws of this dynasty, no one knows better than you and can use them more flexibly." As the Imperial History, they can point fingers at you and intervene on the basis of speculation or one-sided words. But this law ordinances. The old cases are all in your hands, of course the emperor can ignore them and laugh it off.

But this case is different. It involves the three platforms and five permanent principles, and shakes the foundation of the country. Not only will that girl be drowned in the spittle star, but even you, the presiding judge, will not be able to escape the accusations of the world. Even if the emperor thinks that you are right, he is afraid that he will punish you for the sake of face. When you take on this case, you're in big trouble! ”

Guo Chengsi was stunned for a moment, he slowly sat up straight, frowned and asked, "Isn't this situation unsolvable?" ”

Guo Tinghui smiled. There was a strange glint in his eyes, and he said, "Unless you retract Miss Zhang's confession in the lobby, saying that she is dissatisfied with her father's mistreatment." That's why there is such a big rebellious Luo Fabric, so that Miss Zhang will bear all the charges, and you can get out of the way. ”

"No, isn't this pushing Miss Zhang to her death!" Guo Chengsi didn't want to think about it. Flatly refused. He said dissatisfiedly: "If you really want to judge the case like this, I don't need to wear this black gauze hat, it is better to resign and go home as soon as possible." ”

"I knew you would say that." Guo Tinghui shook his head helplessly and said: "There is a second way, which can not only help Miss Zhang get rid of her crimes, but also allow you to take your feet out of this quagmire, and the most important point is that you can take off Zhang Shilang's black gauze hat by Shun Lì." Let him honestly bow his head and confess his guilt, which can be described as the best of the three worlds. ”

Guo Chengsi's eyes lit up. Hurriedly asked: "What kind of good way is it, and I ask my father to make it clear." ”

"Let Miss Zhang get out first, find out the sufferer, and let them make things bigger, the bigger the better, especially in front of his mentor Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. It is best to force Yang Shangshu to clean up the portal in person. A hint of happiness flashed in Guo Tinghui's eyes.

Guo Chengsi couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said with a smile: "High, it's really high" The father and son glanced at each other and laughed abruptly.

In the early years, Yang Shangshu served as the editor of the Hanlin Academy and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites for many years, although he was the Qingshui Yamen, he had presided over many "Spring Festivals", so most of the people in the government and the opposition were his protégés. And this official Zhang Shilang is only in his early forties, and he is entrenched in the position of the third grade, which is really rare in the Manchu Dynasty, so he can be regarded as one of Yang Shangshu's protégés. wants to force him to clean up his proud protégé, but I'm afraid it's harder than climbing to the sky.

In the morning of the next day, Yang Shangshu also personally led a group of Hanlin, officials of the Ministry of Officials, and the self-proclaimed iron-clad imperial historians to take the lead in a stack of folds, all of which were to impeach Guo Chenghei for ignoring human ethics and indulging in his daughter's sue for his father.

The squire also had a bitter face, bowed to the ground, and defended: "Your Majesty, the lower officials are really wronged. Because the rebel girl was instigated by her aunt, she disrespected her stepmother and her brother at home. The lady asked the family law to punish her. Who knew that when the family law was being enforced, the aunt suddenly pounced, hit the board, and died of a bruise on the back of her head. Who knew that this rebellious girl had a grudge, not only stabbed her brother with a hairpin, but also secretly ran out of the house to falsely accuse her father, and asked the emperor to investigate. ”

Zhu Xian was very dissatisfied in his heart, what kind of bullshit was to go to the main hall and say it, it was really unreasonable. But so many people were impeached at the same time, and he couldn't ignore it, so he took one or two copies and read them. After reading it, his face immediately sank, he threw the fold to the ground, and shouted angrily: "Guo Shilang, what do you explain? ”

Guo Chengsi walked out of the queue unhurriedly, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and then said slowly: "When did the lower official take this unethical state, the lower official himself didn't know, and I don't know where the adults knew?" ”

Yang Shangshu stood with his head held upright, and while brushing the goat's whiskers under his chin, he secretly sneered: Is it too tender, thinking that he will deny it outright, and if he quibbles a few more words, he will want to get away with it? He held his own identity and didn't want to argue with Guo Chenghe, so he secretly lost a look at one of the imperial historians. The imperial historian comprehended, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is Guo Shilang blind and deaf all the people in the world?" The lady of Zhang's mansion stopped your sedan chair on the street, and accused Zhang Shilang of abusing and killing the good people in full view. Lord Shangshu took the case on the spot and led Miss Zhang into the yamen, but is there such a thing? ”

Guo Chengsi nodded without changing his face and admitted: "This is indeed the case." ”

Seeing that he actually admitted it himself, the imperial historian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he immediately pursued after the victory, and then asked: "After Lord Shangshu asked about the case, he handed over the case and the file to you. And you took the case without hesitation, but is there such a thing? ”

Guo Chengsi continued to nod and said, "This is indeed the case. ”

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Mishi's mouth, and he suddenly raised his voice. Spit flew and shouted: "As a servant of the Criminal Department, don't you know that it is a great crime for a son to sue his father and violate the three outlines and five constants? You know that all dynasties have ruled the world with filial piety, how can you condone such a big rebellion in this dynasty? ”

Guo Chengsi finally saw the ability of the imperial historians to say black into white and circle into square. He coughed lightly, stretched out his little finger and plucked his ear, and said slowly, "Adults might as well be quiet." When the lower officials have not yet reached the time when their old eyes are dizzy, their ears are very good. Even the snorting of flies can be heard clearly. ”

"You" dare to think of yourself as a fly. The Imperial Master was so angry that his beard was about to be cocked.

"Guo Shilang." Although Zhu Xian wanted to laugh very much, he finally held back, and only snorted coldly and said to Guo Chengsi: "Don't talk about him left and right, talk back." ”

"Yes." Guo Chengsi clenched his fist above. That's when I turned back. Looking at the angry eyes of the Imperial Historian, he said slowly: "The Imperial Historian is as if he saw it with his own eyes in the Criminal Department, and what he said is right. Yushi stiffened his neck and glared at him, but he didn't dare to reply.

Guo Chengsi smiled lightly and continued: "But there is still an inside story, but Lord Yushi doesn't know about it. ”

When Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong in his heart. He was busy glaring at the imperial history. I hope he can avoid this topic, as long as he holds Guo Chengsi's pigtail and chases after him.

It's a pity that the Mishi is too confident in himself. He didn't believe that Guo Chengsi could overthrow this big hat, so he said coldly: "I want to hear about it." ”

Yang Shangshu couldn't help but chop his feet secretly when he heard this, but it was a pity that Zhu Xian sat on the top and stared at him, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he had to prick up his ears and listen carefully, just hoping to find out the loopholes from Guo Chengsi's next words and break them one by one.

I heard Guo Chengsi say slowly: "When Miss Zhang stopped the sedan chair on the street to complain, she only said that she wanted to sue Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, but did not explicitly say that Zhang Shilang was her own father, so our Lord Shangshu took the case and accepted the case, and later found that this case happened to be related to a case investigated by Xia Guan, so it was handed over to Xia Guan." If you really want to ask for the guilt, at most it will be considered a failure to investigate, but you can't afford the collective accountability of such a cautious matter. ”

Actually wanted to rely on the name of 'those who don't know are not guilty' to clear themselves, Yang Shangshu touched his beard and showed a sneer. The Lord Yushi also secretly pouted, thinking that Guo Chengsi was poor in donkey skills. So he snorted coldly and said contemplatively: "Since Guo Shilang didn't know before, forget it, but now that you already know that Miss Zhang is suing her own father, what are you going to do?" Will she be sentenced to 100 rods, or will she be sentenced to 3,000 miles of exile? ”

Before Guo Chengsi could speak, Zhang Shilang, the official of the ministry, couldn't help but speak resentfully: "Such a rebellious daughter, who dares to stab her brother, insult her stepmother, and falsely accuse her father, she should be sentenced to 100 canes and exiled for 3,000 miles." ”

As soon as these words came out, he didn't notice that most of the people around him showed a trace of contempt in their eyes, and even Zhu Xian frowned. Although the son sues the father, heaven cannot tolerate it. But after listening to Zhang Shilang's own narration before, most of these spirits present had guessed some rough ideas.

Who doesn't have a few aunts, and with an aunt, there will naturally be concubines and concubines. Although their identities are not as noble as their sons and daughters-in-law, they are also their own flesh and blood in the end, and there are always one or two feelings.

And the generally smarter housewife will treat the concubine harshly, but she will be generous to the concubine, because the concubine will not divide the family property, if she is lucky to marry a good husband, maybe it will be the help of the mother's family in the future.

But the housewife of this squire is obviously a stupid person, not only treating the concubine harshly, but also arsoning with the slaves. The aunt who died unjustly must be the biological mother of this young lady. And Zhang Shilang himself not only did not pity his daughter for losing her biological mother, but also wanted her to suffer from cane punishment and exile, which were fatal punishments. shows his indifference and ruthlessness to this concubine, no wonder people would fight for their lives to sue their father.

Guo Chengsi smiled coldly and said: "There is no such thing as a son suing his father, that girl Zhang is obviously the steward Wang next to Zhang Shilang, accusing him of evil slavery, and he dares to kill his master with a rod." ”

"What?" Yang Shangshu, Lord Yushi, and Zhang Shilang were all dumbfounded. Lord Yushi jumped to his feet and shouted: "Impossible, you just said that she was going to sue Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Officials on the street." He thought about it for a while, pointed at Guo Chengsi and shouted fiercely: "Okay, you Guo Shilang, Master Guo, you still want to quibble for that unfilial person." ”

Guo Chengsi took a step forward and said without showing weakness: "There were many people on the street that day, and Miss Zhang was crying and talking, of course, there would be one or two words that were vague, so that everyone didn't understand, so they all thought that she was suing Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Officials." However, after entering the Criminal Department, Miss Zhang's feelings calmed down a bit, and it was clear that she was suing the Wang steward next to Zhang Shilang in the Ministry of Officials, not Zhang Shilang himself as you think. ”

"What evidence do you have?" Yang Shangshu and Zhang Shilang were dumbfounded, but Lord Yushi jumped up and shouted angrily. It's a pity that he regretted it immediately after drinking this sentence, because he knew that making evidence was a piece of cake for the people in the criminal department.

Sure enough, Guo Chengsi neatly took out a copy of the form from his sleeve pocket, held it above his head, and said to Zhu Xianqi: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the form presented by Miss Zhang, and her autograph is used as evidence." ”

"Bring it in." Zhu Xian glanced at it and commanded lightly.

Zhao Quan immediately shook off the dust, walked down quickly, took the shape of Guo Chengsi holding it above his head with both hands, and turned around and sent it to Zhu Xian. Zhu Xian opened it and looked at it carefully, then snorted coldly and said, "Zhao Quan, take it down and give it to Yang Shangshu, Zhang Shilang and they should also take a good look." is obviously a filial daughter who avenges her mother, but she was slandered by them as a villain who falsely accused her father. Ask them if they're at a loss. ”

After listening to Zhu Xian's words, the faces of the several people who were on the impeachment fold changed drastically, and the head could not be lowered. But Zhao Quan shook off the dust and asked in a screaming voice: "The emperor asks all my lords, do you feel sorry for framing a benevolent and filial woman like this?" ”

Those people hurriedly knelt down, bowed down, and said in unison: "Please forgive the emperor." ”

Zhang Shilang was not convinced, and wanted to distinguish a few words, but Yang Shangshu secretly pulled him, and said hatefully: "Since you have already been skimmed off on the paper, why do you bother to make the emperor unhappy." Are you still reluctant to punish a wicked slave who kills his master with a rod? ”

Obviously this is not the case, the little slut just wants to pull the entire Zhang Mansion to give her slut mother a funeral. Moreover, the king's steward is the nephew of the lady's mother's family, and his status is more noble than that slut. It's a pity that he can only hold these words in his heart and dare not publicize them.

I heard Zhu Xian sit on it and say coldly: "Guo Shilang, since that evil slave is so hateful, you immediately go and take down the person, if you still dare to argue, correct the law on the spot." ”

"Yes." Guo Chengsi immediately replied loudly.

He glanced contemptuously at the angry Zhang Shilang, and said secretly: "I have taken Miss Zhang out perfectly, wait!" You're the next one to catch" (to be continued......)
