Han Yi stared at Yang Lian quietly, with no expression on his face.

He and Yang Lian have known each other for a long time, and he also knows Yang Lian's general personality and his background.

To say that Yang Lian is greedy for money, Han Yi doesn't believe this, but if he is naïve, it is really naïve. Reading is stupid, talking about Yang Lian, and I don't know if it's sad or lucky.

Wei Zhongxian sat on the side, his face unchanged. He can see that Han Yi wants to pull Yang Lian.

Wei Zhongxian was pondering what he should do, whether to kill Yang Lian, or to do his own thing obediently. If he doesn't make a move, it is estimated that Yang Lian will not be able to cool down this time.

Although Yang Lian impeached Xiong Tingbi, he had nothing to do with those things. Yang Lian did not collude with Li Ruzhen in Liaodong, nor did he accept bribes from Liu Guojin.

In fact, regarding the matter of accepting bribes, Wei Zhongxian made great efforts to investigate. It's just that the whole thing didn't involve Yang Lian, from the time Wang Huazhen opened his mouth, Wei Zhongxian began to follow the line, but after checking and checking, Wei Zhongxian found that this matter did not implicate Yang Lian.

may also be because of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this is a Qingshui Yamen, except for the impeachment of people to extort a little money by the way, or to help others impeach others to receive a little bribe, there is really no other income.

Yao Zongwen and others received 3,000 taels of silver, which sounds like a lot, but Wei Zhongxian knows that this is far worse than the real power department. For the real power department, 3,000 taels of silver is not enough to stuff the teeth.

Yang Lian couldn't receive the money, it shouldn't be that he didn't want to accept it, but that he couldn't receive it, Wei Zhongxian speculated so maliciously in his heart.

However, Wei Zhongxian also knew that this could only be thought about, and he had no evidence. Otherwise, he would have already dealt with Yang Lian, why would he let Han Yi be in the limelight?

In fact, in the original history, Wei Zhongxian did not get much money from Yang Lian's family, nor did he find any tangible evidence of Yang Lian's corruption.

Wei Zhongxian's evidence of overturning the corruption of the Donglin Party was actually taken out by Wang Huazhen, and he didn't receive much money at that time, let alone at this time?

Yang Lian didn't receive the money at all, and he was quite aggrieved.

Raising his head and glancing at Han Yi casually, Wei Zhongxian said slowly: "Elder Han Ge, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this, right?" ”

Han Yi glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and said nonchalantly: "If Grandpa Wei is dissatisfied, you can go and report to Your Majesty." ”

After speaking, Han Yi stopped looking at Wei Zhongxian, but turned his head to look at Yang Lian, "The case of accepting bribes and impeaching Xiong Tingbi has no empirical evidence to prove that Yang Lian was involved." ”

Looking at the documents, Han Yi said solemnly: "Record this sentence in the case." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. No one thought that Han Yi would do such a thing.

Han Yi is guaranteeing Yang Lian. Although Han Yi just told the truth, this is the case.

Yang Lian also raised his head and looked at Han Yi with some hesitation.

In fact, Yang Lian's impression of Han Yi is not very good, or the entire Donglin Party does not like Han Yi.

But now Yang Lian has a strange feeling, especially after Han Yi showed him those things, he can't figure it out.

Han Yi didn't pay attention to everyone's stunned and surprised eyes, but patted the shocked wood and continued: "Let's ask about the next case. ”

"Yang Lian, this pavilion asks you, Your Majesty asked you to interrogate the case of slandering Xiong Tingbi, why did you make such a judgment? Is it to protect Yao Zongwen and others? Did you instigate their confessions? ”

"It's not." Yang Lian said in a firm tone: "I didn't do this. I didn't support them to retract their confessions, nor did I let Zhang San, the head of the cell, go to them, let alone let Zhang San pass on those words, nor did I kill Zhang San. I didn't do any of these things, I didn't do that. ”

Han Yi nodded, looked at the clerk and said, "Recorded." ”

Hearing Yang Lian's answer, Wei Zhongxian was on pins and needles, and he couldn't stand it anymore, "Didn't you do these things?" ”

Do you have to buckle it to Lao Tzu's head?

The matter of retracting the confession was indeed done by Lao Tzu, but I don't know about Zhang San's affairs later, let alone killing people and killing people.

Yang Lian glanced at Wei Zhongxian disdainfully, and didn't seem to say what he meant, because Yang Lian didn't have any evidence to prove that Wei Zhongxian did this.

Nodding, Han Yi continued to ask, "Then let me ask you, what happened to the previous trial?" Whether you are in charge of your own decisions, or are you being instructed by others. ”

After saying this, Han Yi stared at Yang Lian tightly.

If Yang Lian admits that he is himself, then he is guilty of this crime.

Yang Lian did not participate in the case of framing Xiong Tingbi, he had just given a conclusion, that is, there was no evidence, that is to say, from what started to now, Yang Lian has not been charged with any crimes.

If Yang Lian admits to this crime now, it is equivalent to him admitting that he is indeed the one who intends to shield Yao Zongwen.

As the presiding judge of a case, reversing black and white and shielding criminals is absolutely intolerable and must be severely punished.

The military distribution is light, and if you don't do it, you will be beheaded directly. Because this is a case approved by His Majesty, you dare to do such a thing?

Yang Lian raised his head, he knew what the choice was in front of him.

As long as he confesses people, then he is coerced by Shangguan, and even forced to be helpless. Although it is not without culpability, the punishment will be much lighter, and he should be dismissed. As for whether he will never be hired, it depends on how His Majesty decides.

If you don't hire again, you may be able to start again in the future.

The question is who to confess?

Two people flashed in Yang Lian's head, one of these two people was Zou Yuanbiao, and the other was Gao Panlong.

If it weren't for these two guys, I wouldn't have fallen into the situation I am in today.

He originally planned to find out the facts of the case, get Feng Sanyuan and Yao Zongwen out, and severely punish all this, but the result was not done.

Zou Yuanbiao disagreed, Gao Panlong disagreed, the entire Donglin Party was pressuring itself, not allowing itself to make this matter bigger, at most it could only implicate Li Ruzhen.

But the result? Someone is doing something, these people have retracted their confessions, and they haven't even made the most basic results. In the end, he could only present it to His Majesty, saying that these were all ghosts made by Wei Zhongxian, and these people were all wronged.

As a result, he was put in prison.

Yang Lian felt that he was probably being used, and that cell boss Zhang San might have been made by them.

Tears of grievance flowed down from his eyes in an instant, burning Yang Lian's heart. He didn't know if he should open this mouth or not.

If you open this mouth, then your reputation will be ruined; What happens if I don't open this mouth myself?

Yang Lian didn't know what would happen to him, but he decided not to open this mouth, because he had no way to speak, and he couldn't continue to say anything.

Raising his head to look at Han Yi, Yang Lian opened his mouth and said, "I'm just judging from the truth." Those people retracted their confessions, and they all said that they were instructed by Wei Zhongxian, and they were framed. ”

"If I was wrong about this case, it was my incompetence. But there are no cheats in this, and I don't cover them up. I checked it seriously, but I didn't find out. ”

Listening to Yang Lian's words, a touch of disappointment flashed on Han Yi's face, and he nodded lightly.

He knew that he still failed, Yang Lian didn't admit his feelings, he hoped that Yang Lian would speak, and he hoped that Yang Lian could follow him.

Once you achieve this goal, there will be less infamy outside. Yang Lian will share some of the pressure on himself, and at the same time, he can also drag more people up.

But Yang Lian still didn't do it.

Han Yi knew that Yang Lian would not say it again, as for the execution, Han Yi had never thought that the tricks that Dongchang had already used would prove that they were useless, and it would be useless to use them again.

"For the record." Han Yi could only ask expressionlessly: "Do you, Zou Yuanbiao and the others have formed a party for personal gain?" ”

"Nope. I, Yang Lian, am dedicated to the public, and I have never been sorry for Your Majesty or Daming from beginning to end. I just meet people who are unladylike and have limited abilities, but I also hope that the Ming Dynasty will prosper. Yang Lian said. Tears were rolling down her cheeks, and her voice was trembling.

Han Yi felt the same way, he knew that Yang Lian was not crying because of the punishment he would receive, but because Yang Lian was really unladylike, and at the same time, because his ideals could not be implemented.

Yang Lian begged for benevolence, this time, he would definitely not be let go easily.

"Alright, for the record." Han Yi spoke again. Then he waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to take Yang Lian down.

Han Yi's eyes were a little gloomy, and he took a sip of water from the teacup, as if he didn't mean to call the next person.

Wei Zhongxian saw this scene and pursed his lips. These literati like to mess up this kind of mess.

Wei Zhongxian knew that Han Yi wanted to protect Yang Lian just now, and he could probably do it. Han Yi handled the case like this this time, His Majesty will definitely be grateful to him, and his request will definitely give face, as long as Yang Lian speaks, he will definitely be able to keep it.

It's a pity that Han Yi chose not to speak, but Wei Zhongxian was relieved, these people are dead brains, and it's just right not to speak.

The expression on Han Yi's face finally calmed down, and then he put down the teacup and said, "Bring Zou Yuanbiao up." ”

But at this time, a brocade guard ran in a panic outside the door, with an anxious look on his face.

After entering the room, the brocade guard knelt down with a pop, and said in a tone full of horror: "Ladies and gentlemen, Zou Yuanbiao is dead!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room stood up in shock.

Wei Zhongxian was even shocked, not to mention the others.

He didn't dare to kill Zou Yuanbiao, it was a dignified Zuodu Yushi, if he killed him, he would have no good fruit to eat.

In the original history, Wei Zhongxian dared to kill Yang Lian of the Imperial History of Zuodu in Dongchang, that was because Wei Zhongxian had already gained power in the world at that time, but now it is different, and the current Wei Zhongxian does not have that ability.

Hearing the report of his subordinates, the Jinyi Guards commanded Luo Sigong's face to be even more pale. How did this die?

If this dies in Dongchang, it will naturally have nothing to do with him. But the person died in the edict of Jinyiwei, saying that it had nothing to do with him, who would believe it?

Even if it doesn't matter, this pot has to be carried by itself, and if you don't do it, you will directly become a scapegoat.

Luo Sigong is about to cry, who am I going to provoke? What does this have to do with me?
