The case of official grain involved too much and spread too widely, and under the royal order, people didn't dare to say anything, but as soon as the matter passed, they naturally pointed the finger at Liu Changqing.

To put it bluntly, it is the anger of the public, because the matter has too much impact, and one person needs to come out and take the blame.

A few days later, the Imperial Mansion.

The official office is heavy, and on both sides of the door, there are naturally guards, hanging war knives, and standing there with their waists straight.

Not long after, Liu Changqing was here.

He was dressed in an official uniform, there was no nervousness on his face, and his steps were steady.

After entering the main hall, everyone had been waiting for him for a long time, and on the main seat directly above, Shangguan Wenruo was sitting.

On the lower left, it is Yan Ming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and on the lower right, it is Jiangyi, the Shaofu Ling.

Each of the three had a case in front of them.

Further down is a civil servant in charge of records.

On both sides of the hall, there were more than a dozen guards with knives.

As soon as Liu Changqing came in, without waiting to speak, Jiang Yi had already patted the table in front of him, and said in a straight voice:

"Liu Changqing! You're sinful now! An dared to wear an official uniform and be interrogated! ”

"Lord Jiang is so powerful." Liu Changqing sneered: "This official uniform was appointed by the imperial court and granted by the king, if you have the guts, take it off." ”

"You!" Jiang Yi was obviously angry.

"Alright." Shangguan Wenruo said at the right time, it is pointless to fight for these things now, for Liu Changqing, it is only the questioning stage, and there is no charge at all, if you dare to let him wear prison clothes, then he will definitely fight back against the three of them, this is absolute.

Yan Ming said in a deep voice: "Liu Changqing, I called you over today, are you guilty?" ”

"What is the sin?" Liu Changqing asked rhetorically: "Lord Yan, are you preparing to interrogate this official?" ”

"Humph!" Jiang Yi sneered and took over the conversation: "Liu Changqing, you judge all day long, have you ever thought that there is also today?" I don't know how to feel? ”

Hearing this, Liu Changqing looked at Jiang Yi and said unceremoniously: "This official is not afraid of crooked shadows, unlike some people, who only know flattery and slander. ”

"You!"

Jiang Yi was angry again, and wanted to suppress Liu Changqing first in terms of momentum, but he was ridiculed by him instead.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wenruo coughed slightly, and said in a flat voice: "Lord Liu, do you know that every word and deed of you and me here will be recorded in detail and reported to the king later?" ”

As he spoke, he also looked at the civil official in front of him.

The civil servant was also putting pen to paper, and kept writing something.

"Of course, this is the highest interrogation of the Imperial Palace." Liu Changqing said.

"Knowing this, then Lord Liu should pay attention to his words and attitude." Shangguan Wenruo reminded.

Liu Changqing said: "There is nothing wrong with the official's attitude, but before the interrogation, the official asked that the Imperial History Mansion take a seat." ”

"What did you say!?" Without waiting for others to speak, Jiang Yi was already annoyed, and then pouted and sneered: "Liu Changqing, you are now guilty, and you dare to ask us to give you a seat, isn't it ridiculous!" ”

"Master Jiang doesn't have to put on any official stands, according to the laws of our country, before the trial of officials above the fourth grade, the other party has the right to ask for a seat before the crime is confirmed, otherwise, I will not answer a word." Liu Changqing said.

"You!" Jiang Yi was choked again, and couldn't help but look at Shangguan Wenruo and said, "This, Lord Shangguan......"

Shangguan Wenruo shook his head, and said in his heart What are you fighting with this Liu Changqing, isn't this asking for hardship.

He thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Come on, take a seat." ”

Not long after, a chair was moved by the guards, Liu Changqing didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and after sitting down as a matter of course, he glanced at the three people: "The three adults asked." ”

"Okay." Shangguan Wenruo nodded, and said straight to the point: "Lord Liu, you privately ordered the army to assist, because of the king's sword and the seriousness of the case, it is understandable, but you have sealed the city for no reason, and a reasonable explanation must be given here." ”

Liu Changqing said: "At that time, the official grain was stolen and exchanged for a huge amount, and the stolen goods had not yet flowed out of Liangzhou, and the closure of the city was a last resort, which was to recover the official grain. ”

After listening to his explanation, the three couldn't help but glance at each other.

The civil servants are still writing and recording quickly.

Shangguan Wenruo continued to ask: "What about the many officials under house arrest? In the absence of evidence, it is not an exaggeration for you to do this, right? ”

Liu Changqing said: "Lord Shangguan is not in Liangzhou, I don't know the cunning of corrupt officials, the reason why this official is like this is also to solve the official food case faster, and put local officials under house arrest, and did not deprive them of their rights, but only asked them to temporarily reside in the official office to assist in the investigation." ”

"The ...... of the Imperial Court Officials"

"At that time, Wang Jian was in his body, representing the king, inspecting Liangzhou, and having all the military and political powers, but Lord Shangguan had any objections to Wang Jian?" Liu Changqing interrupted him.

"You!" Shangguan Wenruo was also choked, and suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"How can it be!" Jiang Yi couldn't help it anymore, stretched out his hand, and said sharply: "Liu Changqing! Don't be too arrogant! ”

As he spoke, he continued: "Do you know how much your actions, recklessly, have had on the entire cool land? Now that Liangzhou's economy needs to recover, I don't know how long it will take! ”

"This is not within the jurisdiction of this official, and the duty of this official is only to investigate and punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials." Liu Changqing said directly.

"You, you, you......"

Jiang Yi was angry again.

said that it was a three-hall trial, but in fact, Liu Changqing's momentum was lower than them.

This is also a meaningless interrogation, because Liu Changqing is innocent at all, and the reason why this is so is that he was picked out by force under the anger of the public.

Ignoring his annoyance, Liu Changqing glanced at the three of them again: "Is there anything else for the three adults to ask?" ”

Hearing this, the three of them were silent, and then they looked at each other, and Shangguan Wenruo said, "Okay, let's stop here today." ”

"Is there a second trial in the Imperial History Mansion, if there is, don't waste time, ask it today, anyway, the official has a clear conscience, and he is worthy of the monarch and Li Min." Liu Changqing said.

"Huh." Shangguan Wenruo smiled and didn't answer his question, but said, "Lord Liu, please go back." ”

When Liu Changqing heard this, he didn't say anything more, and got up and left directly.

At the end of the questioning, the civil official in charge of recording also stood up and bowed his hand: "Your Majesty retires." ”

After he left, Jiang Yi was still angry, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Shangguan, this ......"

Shangguan Wenruo glanced at him and said with a smile:

"Lord Jiang is a smart person, can't you see it, this is just a formality of the king in order to calm the anger of the people." TVmobile/

"Huh? This ......"

When Jiang Yi heard this, her heart was also tight.
