Emperor Hongzhi's eyes turned down and fell on Yan Chengjin: "Yan Qing's family will make it clear, why is it lazy and derelict in government?" ”

Of course, Xiong Wei also harmed his own official, so he didn't pursue it...... Yan Chengjin bowed down and said: "The Metropolitan Investigation Court has also investigated this case, Xu Mu and Lord Xiong fornicated, can it be that just because it is six books, you can persecute ministers at will?" ”

Baiguan's face twitched slightly, fornication?

Xiong Qi jumped like thunder: "What is fornication? The official went to his house as usual to pay his respects. ”

"Then why do you want to dismiss the subordinates?"

Xiong Wei was speechless, and suddenly realized that this son was talking.

Chang Yuanxi's eyes showed joy.

This is like waking up from a dream, it turned out that I was going to investigate Xiong Xuan, why didn't you say it earlier?

He bowed: "Your Majesty, can you continue to investigate?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated, but his face remained silent: "Check it." ”

The prince was attacked twice, and he didn't know if it had anything to do with Xiong Xuan, and he wanted to know what the truth was.

Yan Chengjin raised his head slightly: "The grievances of the ministers have been cleared, in order to repay the court, why don't you hand it over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for investigation?" ”

It's all my order to let you do things! When did you take the initiative to serve the court?

Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face, knowing that Yan Chengjin had a plan.

Xiong Qi's face was pale, and his limbs were weak while holding the Qiang brand.

Chang Yuanxi bowed: "The clues of this case are provided by the Metropolitan Investigation Court, and the ministers can handle the case together with the Metropolitan Investigation Court." ”

Investigating and prosecuting the officials of the six ministries will offend many protégés and former officials, so it is better to let Yan Chengjin come.

Zhang Sheng bowed with his hand: "Your Majesty, you can let the two divisions and Jinyiwei investigate thoroughly!" ”

The cooperation of the two divisions in handling the case will solve the case faster, and it is imminent to read the case file.

In case Xu Mu conceals something, the candidate's answer sheet will be invalidated, which will be even more troublesome.

Emperor Hongzhi also wanted to end it as soon as possible, so that the list could be announced to the world.

"Then let the Second Division and Jinyiwei investigate thoroughly."

The second division is the Metropolitan Inspection Institute and Dali Temple.

Xiong Wei was dizzy, and there was still a trace of clarity in his mind, so he did not lose his temper.

As an official in the imperial court, impermanence is constant, and hundreds of officials are embarrassed.

Come out of the main hall,

Chang Yuanxi deliberately waited for Yan Chengjin, and his smile was slightly narrow: "I just scolded Lord Yan for not being a person, Lord Yan should not go to his heart." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Chang, this official never holds grudges, and if he has a grudge, he will not take revenge."

Chang Yuanxi shuddered in his heart, Yan Chengjin's invitation to the king of Hades, he still heard about it.

"How do you want to check? The bears can't speak. ”

Emperor Hongzhi ordered Xiong Qi to recuperate in the mansion, and he didn't have to go to court these days.

As the secretary of the criminal department, Xiong Wei knows everything about torture and will definitely not speak.

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought.

"I'll take Lord Yan to see Xu Mu, no matter how he interrogates him, his confession is: one person did it."

Dali Temple is divided into two temples, the left and right, which are in charge of the prison.

The western district of the capital, the right temple prison.

Yan Chengjin wore two people and walked into the dark and damp dungeon.

The air was filled with the musty smell of dried straw and urine.

"Please also ask Master Chang to send someone to bring Xu Mu out."

The official saw that you had done too much for your heart, and you didn't even dare to enter the prison.

Chang Yuan pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile, turned his head and ordered: "Bring the number one prisoner out." ”

After a while, the sound of shackles got closer and closer.

To Yan Chengjin's surprise, Xu Mu's complexion was as usual, his face and beard were clean, and there was no trace of blood in his prison clothes.

Except for the shackles on his hands, the whole person looks like he has changed into a prison uniform and come to the prison for vacation.

"Lord Chang, this?"

It's here to experience life, right? Yan Chengjin turned his head in disbelief.

Chang Yuanxi smiled: "Your Majesty is benevolent and governs the country, and we and the yamen should also be interrogated in a civilized manner, and if we can not be punished, we will not be punished." ”

The brocade guard next to him nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Mu recognized Yan Chengjin and said in a deep voice: "The old man has already recruited."

You torture, the old man said the same, if nothing happens, the old man will go back! ”

If it is just a leak of the test questions, with His Majesty's leniency, perhaps he only needs to return to his hometown and live.

But if you frame the ministers of the middle and upper ranks, you will be exiled to the border and will die.

The determination in the depths of his eyes was that he had no intention of living to the edge.

Chang Yuanxi looked at Yan Chengjin and sighed: "For people who have the heart of death, Lord Yan can't ask anything. ”

Yan Chengjin thought for a moment and said, "Surrender Xu Mu to the Metropolitan Investigation Academy, this official has a way." ”

With the heart of death, we need to be enlightened by the study of the heart.

Wang Shouren was able to quell the banditry in southern Jiangnan, that is, he constantly asked the hidden nest from the mouths of the arrested bandits.

Of course, if you can't do it, you can only use torture.

Chang Yuanxi pondered for a moment: "Okay, but this official also has to be tried together." "You can't take the credit alone.

From Dali Temple, detained to the prison of the Ducha Yuan, one day and one night.

Xu Mu gritted his teeth, even if he entered the Jinyi Guard's edict, he would not let go.

To his deep surprise, Yan Chengjin did not torture him, and he was full of wine and meat.

……

Dongnuan Pavilion,

Emperor Hongzhi always paid attention to the movements of the Tribute Academy, and when he heard that the Tribute Courtyard had not been unsealed, he asked: "Has Yan Chengjin found out?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Wang Shouren has not moved so far, saying that he was promoted to the hall at noon today, and invited all the scholars to watch the hall to listen to the trial."

Yan Chengjin, this guy, pushed it to Wang Shouren again!

A trace of doubt flashed in the depths of Emperor Hongzhi's eyes, and he got up and walked to the side hall: "Out of the palace, I want to pay a slight visit." ”

At this time, the yamen of the capital inspection institute.

The scholars were on their toes against their heels, surrounded by water.

Lao Wang Shufang specially issued a newspaper to invite scholars from the capital to interrogate Xu Mu.

The scholars have words in their mouths.

Before the hall was promoted, the floor of the yatang was already wet with saliva.

Yan Chengjin stood behind the screen, and Chang Yuanxi next to him looked slightly uneasy.

At this moment, the person sitting in the yatang is Wang Shouren.

Not long after, Xu Mu was brought up by the guards.

The scholars had red eyes, as if they had seen an enemy of life and death, and they spared no effort in their mouths.

Xu Mu turned a deaf ear and stood in the lobby, looking at Wang Shouren as steady as Mount Tai.

The audience was silent.

"Qiu Yu's answer sheet was detained in the Gongyuan for six days, and it has not been reviewed for a long time, it is precisely because Lord Xu's case has not been concluded for a long time, Lord Xu, are you worthy of the candidates in the capital?"

It exploded, and the scholars were furious.

The startled tree fell again, and then it quieted down.

"The old man's confession will not change!"

Chang Yuanxi frowned and looked at Yan Chengjin: "Is Wang Xian's nephew okay?" ”

"Please also ask Master Chang to believe in Wang Shouren."

The scholars were all brought by Wang Shouren, and Yan Chengjin didn't know what Wang Shouren wanted to do.

Turning his gaze, he returned to the yatang, only to hear Wang Shouren say: "So many scholars scold Lord Xu, is it true that Lord Xu is not ashamed?" ”

Xu Mu sneered in his heart: "The old man has the determination to die, will he care about shame?

Since the self-appointed person planted the falsehood, he has no shame for a long time. ”

The scholar rolled up his sleeves and scolded Xu Mu for being a dog thief, a shameless old thing.

The stunned wood was photographed again, and the scholar was silent.

Wang Shouren asked casually: "Does Lord Xu still have a conscience?" ”

"I don't know what a conscience is!"

Wang Shouren ordered Xu Mu's shackles to be unshackled.

Suddenly, the scholars scolded and scolded, and their anger rushed to the tide of anointing.

"How can a person who has lost his conscience be treated so favorably?"

Emperor Hongji stiffened his face. walked to the back hall and said angrily: "Wang Shouren, what are you going to do?!" ”

Chang Yuanxu was so frightened that he was at a loss, and he was busy respectfully: "Minister Chang Yuanxi, I have seen Zhu Ye ......"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin with straight eyes.

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and pretended to be stupid: "Please Your Majesty believe in Wang Shouren, don't interrupt yet." ”

I saw that Wang Shouren walked down from the yatang and asked, "Lord Xu has no conscience?" ”

"Nope!"

"Since Lord Xu has no conscience, can you dare to make a bet with this official?"

"Why don't you dare!"

Xu Mu squinted at Wang Shouren.

"The official took off a piece of clothing, and Lord Xu also took off a piece of clothing, come on."

Wang Shouren began to untie his clothes widely, took off his official robe, and revealed his snow-white underwear.

Xu Mu sneered, took off his prison clothes, and revealed the dirty clothes inside.

The scholars were stunned, not knowing what these two wanted to do.

Emperor Hongji was dumbfounded.

Chang Yuanxi rubbed his hands nervously, it's too bad, how can he explain it to His Majesty?

Yan Chengjin was also confused.

Wang Shouren took off his underwear again, revealing the white flesh on his upper body.

"Lord Xu, do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare!"

Xu Mu also took off his shirt, revealing white flesh, look at what tricks this son plays!

Emperor Hongzhi was completely petrified and stiffened in place, he didn't believe what Wang Hua said before, thinking it was modesty, but now he found that it was not an exaggeration at all!

Chang Yuanxi's mind went blank.

The scholars were dumbfounded.

Yan Chengjin's heart was full of 10,000 alpacas, and the scene was out of control.

Wang Shouren didn't care, and then unbuttoned his pants again, leaving only a pair of obscene pants.

"Lord Xu also took off his prison pants, right?"

Xu Mu sneered, stretched out his hand and removed the prisoner pants, and only a pair of obscene pants remained.

The audience was in an uproar.

Two men, wearing only a pair of obscene trousers, stood in the hall, and the women snorted coquettishly, blushing to the base of their ears.

Emperor Hongzhi stood up in disbelief like five thunderbolts: "This..."

Xiao Jing raised his hand to block his eyes and secretly smacked Wang Shouren.

Chang Yuanxi's face turned red with shame, this, this is still a trial case?

Yan Chengjin has no master: "In the future... In the future, we should stay away from Wang Shouren. ”

At this moment, everyone heard a voice like a lightning strike:

"Me and Master Xu, take off your dirty pants too, right?"

Obscene pants are shorts, and when you take them off, you have nothing left.

The scholars hurriedly closed their eyes, for fear of seeing something they shouldn't see, and the women's fingers covered their eyes, leaving a thin slit.

Emperor Hongzhi finally broke out, and said ashamedly: "This, what kind of system has this become!" ”

Chang Yuanxi jumped up in fright, and pointed at Wang Shouren angrily: "Yes, it's really unsightly, catch him quickly, he really wants to get off!" ”

The exclamations of the scholars came like a sea of mountains, and Wang Shouren didn't seem to hear it.

Xu Mu blushed and looked at Wang Shouren: "You, aren't you ashamed?!" ”

Wang Shouren picked up his pants and said lightly: "Lord Xu, this is conscience!" ”

He raised his hand, and the guards drove out all the scholars, leaving only two people.

The maid and the servant were brought up: "What the slave and the villain said is true......"

Wang Shouren's face was fierce, and he said in a deep voice: "Although Lord Xu is not afraid of death, he still has a conscience.

If Lord Xu doesn't say it, the official will exile him to the border, change it to strip Lord Xu's clothes, and parade through Lord Xu's township! ”

Xu Mu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression became panicked.

He has been praised as a prodigy by the township since he was a child, and he is praised within a radius of ten miles.

Later, as a tribute, he was sent to Guozijian.

After passing the Jinshi examination, he returned to his hometown, and everyone was envious and jealous.

stripped off the clothes and marched in the township, and the face of the house was lost!

"Does Lord Xu want to protect Lord Xiong, or does he want his own conscience?"

Xu Mu closed his eyes heavily: "Bring the pen!" ”
