Chang Yuanxi is at a loss as to how to solve the case.

Hearing that the Metropolitan Procuratorate had sent witnesses, he came to the gate suspiciously and saw Fang Xue escorting a pretty maid.

"Lord Chang, the lower official has traced a clue and sent it to your lordship."

The maid said timidly: "The slave is Master Xu's maid, and I didn't know about it, but the slave was good, and when he left the capital, he told the slave that Master Xu had someone steal the scholar's Confucian clothes and frame an official in the court, and that day ...... Bear-sama came to the house. ”

Chang Yuanxi's eyes widened, and the criminal department's Shangshu Xiong Qian and the officials all gave Xu Mu in the matter?

He couldn't believe that as Yan Chengjin said, it was related to Xiong Xuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and this matter was very important.

"If there is no evidence, it is to slander the important ministers of the court, and at least you will be punished with a hundred rods, and you will be exiled to the border, you have to be cautious!"

The maid panicked when she heard this, and said resolutely: "Slave...... The slave dares to guarantee her life, and the master knows it. ”

……

Xiongfu,

Xiong Qian saw the maids wiping the ornaments and household goods in the main hall, and was upset: "Go down!" ”

In the past two days, there were brocade guards outside the duty room of the criminal department and the gate of the mansion, and although His Majesty did not express his intention to investigate him in the palace, his body was very honest.

He can understand His Majesty's thoughts, and investigating an official of the Sixth Department will cause a sensation in the government and the opposition, so he will let Jinyiwei act secretly.

I'm afraid that at this time, there will already be Jinyi Wei going south to Ning Wangfu.

"Tell me to go down, from today onwards, the old man will not see any guests."

I'm afraid that my colleagues won't know it and come to look for him, and an unprovoked little thing will become a big thing.

The housekeeper went down and ordered his subordinates, and after a while, he ran back quickly: "Master, Lord Xu is here......

"No, he doesn't know that outside the old man's mansion, it's all Jinyiwei?!"

But he said...... There are very important things......"

Xiong Wei weighed left and right, Xu Muming knew that there was a Jinyi guard outside the mansion, and he came to look for him, which means that something big happened.

"Let him in."

……

Dongnuan Pavilion,

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't stand it anymore when he watched it for a while: "Qiuyu's answer sheet is still blocked in the Tribute Courtyard?" ”

"Here, the slave maid heard that the scholars in the capital gathered in front of the Gongyuan to let the Ministry of Rites read the papers as soon as possible." Xiao Jing said cautiously.

If the case is not solved, the test papers will not be approved, and the list can be published in ten days.

But now it's been two days.

"Today is the last day I gave to Dali Temple, is there any news about Yan Chengjin's case?"

As a factory director of Dongchang, he has handled many cases, and Xiao Jing estimates that eighty percent of them cannot be found.

It was more secretive than Cheng Minzheng at the beginning, and Yan Chengjin could not be arrested and interrogated, and Yan Song was proven innocent......

I really can't think of where to start.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no news yet."

Liu Jian raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, if you can't solve the case, you should come up with a countermeasure first, and you can't retake the test." ”

Li Dongyang nodded, and limited Chang Yuan to find out within three days, in order to read the file and publish the list as soon as possible.

But if Dali Temple can't find out, you can only read the file first.

At this time, outside the noon gate, Chang Yuanxi carried the hem of his clothes, stepped on broken steps, and ran towards the Fengtian Hall with a spring breeze on his face.

Xiong Xiao fell, and someone needed to replace him as the secretary of the criminal department.

Now that the answer sheet is locked in the Tribute Academy, he solves His Majesty's urgent needs, and he is a member of the third grade...... I hope that I can use this to be promoted to the second grade and rank sixth.

"Tell me quickly, this official wants to face the saint."

Chang Yuanxi hurriedly tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath, and after a while, walked into the main hall.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the main hall became tense.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Chang Yuanxi deeply: "Chang Qing's family, the case has eyebrows?" Who did it? ”

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian both showed expectation in the depths of their eyes.

Except for the early dynasty, there are not many opportunities to face the saint, Chang Yuanxu respectfully held the reege card: "The minister has found out the matter of the ministry, Xu Mu!"

He hired the old Xiucai in the market and wrote the words on the Confucian clothes, and the people were no longer in the capital, and the ministers had sent people to chase them. ”

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned pale.

The most hated thing is the fight between the king and the ministers, the fight between the officials, and the people of the world are exhausted.

Liu Jian's face was miserable, seven years ago, he transferred Xu Mu from Nanzhili to Beizhili, and said: "This person's personality has changed so much, the minister did not expect it, and he has the responsibility of negligence!" Voluntary penalty for one year. ”

Chang Yuan bowed down and continued, "The Criminal Department Shangshu Xiong Xuan, or something to do with it!" ”

It was obviously a very calm sentence, but the sound was like a bell, as if it was winding around the beams of the house, and it still echoed in the ears for a long time.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chang Yuanxi with straight eyes.

Li Dongyang's faces were miserable.

Xiong Qian is already the secretary of the Criminal Department, why do you want to frame Yan Chengjin, Yan Chengjin is the imperial history, is there any handle in his hands.

"Chang Qing's family, be cautious."

"What the minister said is true, according to the maid's confession, when Xu Mu was talking to Xiong Wei, he sent his subordinates away, and it seems to be related to the salt law......"

Chang Yuanxi didn't dare to talk nonsense, it was said by the maid herself, there was a certificate as a basis, and when the people of the Xu Mansion who left Beijing were arrested, it would be clear.

He entered the palace this time to ask His Majesty for instructions on whether to arrest Xu Mu or not.

If you can go to prison and interrogate, the interrogation will be much faster.

"Your Majesty, does the minister want to put Xu Mu in prison?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

After Chang Yuanxi left, he frowned and said: "The salt policy has been changed to the imperial court for sale, and it has been more than half a year, why are there still officials resisting?" ”

Don't say that for more than half a year, even if it is ten years, there are still officials who refute it.

The more days go by, the more I feel that the old salt policy is good.

Liu Jian sighed in his heart that since he couldn't sell salt, the monthly income in the house was a big loss.

"The salt method makes more money than silk, and they can't wait to change the salt to the old one." Li Dongyang said in one word.

Xie Qian thought so.

When the news came out of the palace, the officials were dumbfounded, and they didn't expect Xu Mu to be imprisoned, which made people uneasy.

Yan Chengjin still couldn't understand why Xu Mu wanted to harm him.

Thinking about it carefully, he and Xu Mu did not have a holiday, and even in the court, there was no argument.

Doesn't that mean that all officials in the court are possible?

"It seems that in the future, it is better to find a tool man."

In the early days, I saw Xiong Wei standing in the ranks of the criminal department, like a person who had nothing to do.

Walking into the Fengtian Palace, before the court discussion began, the little eunuch at the door came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Chang asks to see you." ”

The hundred officials turned their heads and looked at the front of the palace.

Chang Yuanxi walked in in a red official robe, slightly disappointed: "Your Majesty, Xu Mu recruited him, he did it alone!" Yan Chengjin did not commit fraud. ”

Although Xiong Mu has been to Xu's Mansion, Xu Mu insisted that he was the only one who did it, and it depends on His Majesty whether to check Xiong Qi or not.

It's not that he doesn't dare to investigate, but he doesn't know His Majesty's intentions.

If His Majesty has the heart to protect him, even if he finds out that Xiong Wei is an accomplice, he is not guilty, but he will cause a fuss for himself.

Xiong Wei's face was calm, and his heart was flustered.

The official in the second year of Chenghua, when His Majesty was still the prince, he accompanied him to read left and right, and he had some kindness to His Majesty.

If Your Majesty remembers the kindness and closes the case and announces it to the world, it means that he has been spared.

"The minister thinks that since there is a conclusion, it is necessary to let the Ministry of Rites read the paper as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, it's been delayed for four days, and you should read the file as soon as possible."

Zhang Sheng bowed down and seconded the proposal, the most anxious thing was the Ministry of Rites, the test papers were locked up in the Gongyuan, he was scared, for fear that something would go wrong.

At this time, there were different voices in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"The minister wants to impeach Chang Yuanxi, the secretary of the Dali Temple, for laziness and dereliction of duty."

The ministers were dumbfounded and looked at Yan Chengjin.

People often return your innocence, and they have the grace of heaven and earth for you, you, you wolf heart and dog lungs!

Li Dongyang looked at Yan Chengjin, his eyes straight.

Chang Yuanxi was stunned.

This official did not enter for a day, and was interrogated in the cell all day, and was even accused of laziness and dereliction of duty?

Suddenly, Chao Yan Chengjin said angrily: "Lord Yan, no one can say such a thing!" ”
