Chapter 202: Discovering the Clues

On the second day, Wang Zhushan, Shen Ji, and Shi Liangrui continued to hear the case, forcibly laid out evidence, and confirmed Han Qi's crime of forging national debts, and then postponed Han Qi's rebellion for retrial, so that Niu Jizong, who was ready to deal with the matter, was unexpected.

Niu Jizong and Liu Fang glanced at each other, realizing that things had changed today, and they were busy coping with it.

Wang Zhushan glanced at the expressions of the two, and ordered Niu Yuan to be summoned to the court.

Niu Jizong was shocked when he heard this, he never expected this fire to burn on his head, and immediately became nervous, and asked with an extremely gloomy face: "I don't know what Lord Wang summoned Xiao'er?" ”

Wang Zhushan said coldly: "When the people arrive, Lord Niu will naturally be clear, maybe this matter has something to do with Lord Niu, and Lord Niu doesn't have to avoid it!" ”

Niu Jizong's face became even more ugly when he heard this, his son was not arrested at that time, and he thought that his son had escaped, but now it seems that things are not so simple, and he secretly hates that he should not come out.

After Niu Yuan arrived, Wang Zhushan took out evidence that Niu Yuan had entered and left the Yang Mansion several times and conspired with Yang Hong, and sent the Yang family members to testify.

After the initial panic, Niu Yuan quickly calmed down, saying that he was just a guest and denied any involvement in the matter.

Niu Jizong saw Wang Zhushan sneering on his face, and his heart was even more nervous, not daring to bet on whether there was other evidence in their hands, worried that his son would be like Han Qi, and immediately make a big fuss in the court to prevent the case from continuing to be heard.

Wang Zhushan refused and insisted on passing Yang Hong to play, but in the end, the two sides were deadlocked, and the case was stranded again.

Wang Zhushan looked at Niu Jizong and Liu Fang leaving in a hurry, with a sneer on his face, he was just bluffing, and he had not yet persuaded Yang Hong to turn against Niu Yuan, but Yang Hong's mind had been shaken, and he must have made the final choice when he saw his family.

After Niu Jizong and the others left the Criminal Department, they were busy discussing countermeasures with King Beijing.

Seeing this, King Beijing was worried that Yang Hong and others would defect, and after appeasing Niu Jizong, he planned to kill Yang Hong and others.

He also sent a letter to Jinxiang Bo Han Sheng to ask him to present a blood letter to the Emperor Taishang, first, to prove his innocence, and secondly, to return his son's body.

When Han Qi was arrested that day, Han Sheng expected today, but the moment the news of his son's death came back, he was still unbearable, and he coughed up blood on the spot and passed out in a coma due to grief.

After waking up yesterday, he wanted to get back his son's body, but now that the Han Mansion was besieged, he couldn't go out, and after receiving a message from the King of Beijing, he played the emperor according to his words, even if his son committed a serious crime, now that he is dead, he should be buried in peace.

Seeing that Han Sheng's fold was not only blood, but also blood, the Emperor knew that Han Sheng had lost his son in middle age, and he had a deep hatred in his heart, and he had to get rid of it.

After the Han family brought back Han Qi's body, the whole house suddenly cried and shook the sky, and Han Sheng wanted to bury it quietly and seek something else. However, King Beijing wanted to personally preside over Han Qi's funeral on the grounds of deep brotherhood.

Seeing this, Han Sheng knew the plans of the King of Beijing, and was disheartened, so he let the King of Beijing do it.

King Beijing was angry that Emperor Yuan Yong set a trap to harm himself, so he held Han Qi's funeral very grandly, and the specifications were extremely high, and the etiquette system exceeded the limit of five grades, which was even grander than Qin Keqing's scale that day.

On the first day of Han Qi's suspension, the three kings of Beijing, Nan'an, and Dongping were all present, and the Emperor Taishang also sent Dai Quan to mourn.

The other nobles had already received orders from the three kings, and the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Liguo all came together, and Jia Zhen also came with his son Jia Rong in person.

Jia Yu didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he excused himself from being drunk and fell and was injured, and asked Jia Lian to take Jia Baoyu to hang on behalf of the Rong Mansion.

Although Jia Baoyu and Han Qi did not have a deep relationship, they had drunk a few times in the Beijing Palace, and they had met several times in private.

Emperor Yuanyong smiled indifferently when he learned of this, he could endure Qin Keqing's matter at the beginning, let alone now.

In the next few days, there were repeated episodes of impeachment of Niu Jizong and the Han family in the court, and the evil things done by the two families in the past were picked up inside and out.

And Xungui shouted grievances on the one hand, showed weakness and justified on the other, and played Wang Zhushan on trumped-up charges and forced Zhongliang to death, Niu Jizong even knelt in front of the Taishang Palace with his son, asking the Emperor Taishang to call the shots.

For several days in a row, the two sides have been fighting back and forth.

The people of insight in the capital saw that the court was disturbing, and the hall talked to themselves, knowing that the nobles had a conflict with the emperor again, and they were worried about causing trouble, and they all remained silent.

The merchants who gathered in Beijing did not expect to see such a fierce court battle, and knew that they could not be mixed with others, so they went deeper and simpler, and did not visit or gather, and did not dare to go out easily.

But the people regarded these things as a bustle, and whoever felt more pitiful would say a few words of pity, and whoever had done it would denounce it and not take it to heart.

At dusk on September 18, the third round of the selection of imperial merchants was completely over.

Lu Jing paid attention to the battle between the two sides on the one hand, and counted the results of each group with Huang Yongzhong on the other.

After two days of hard work day and night, all the results of each group were finally calculated, and the individual results of the top 50 groups were sorted at the same time.

The two took the top 300 to become imperial merchants, and then became famous in the Zhaoxin Bureau, among which the Wang Youxiang Wang family and Xue Baochai Xue family, which Lu Jing was concerned about, ranked in the forefront and became imperial merchants.

After the results were released, Huang Yongzhong reported the matter to Emperor Yuanyong, but was suppressed by Emperor Yuanyong.

Emperor Yuan Yong had no intention of dealing with the affairs of the imperial merchants at this time, so he ordered to wait until the matter of the fake national debt was completely settled, and then announce the results.

After Lu Jing completed all the things in the selection of imperial merchants, he set his sights on the Zhaoxin Bureau.

Although most of the eyes of the DPRK and China have been attracted by the battle between the Lords and the Three Law Divisions in the past few days, as time goes by, the plan for dealing with the fake national debt is still unresolved, and the discussion on this matter is getting louder and louder.

Those officials and gentry who bought fake treasury bonds came to the Zhaoxin Bureau almost every day to inquire, and some officials, in particular, frequently put pressure on the Zhaoxin Bureau to take on the matter.

Although they thought that they might not be able to get it back when they bought it, they planned to be a favor when the time came, and take the initiative to donate the proceeds of the national debt to the imperial court, so that they could also settle down in the eyes of the emperor.

But as soon as this incident came out, active abandonment became passive abandonment, and the meaning was different, not only losing money, but also losing subsequent political interests.

Zhou Kun was so busy with this matter that he could hardly procrastinate, when he saw that Lu Jing had finally finished the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office, if he met a savior, he was busy discussing with Lu Jing to solve the matter of fake national debts.

Lu Jing only persuaded Zhou Kun at first, this matter ultimately depends on the emperor's intentions, and if the emperor doesn't speak, we have no other better way.

But gradually found out that things were wrong, and now there are too many rumors that are unfavorable to the Zhaoxin Bureau, and the pressure exerted by those court officials on the Zhaoxin Bureau is also increasing, and the discussion of the Zhaoxin Bureau is not much more than the case of Han Qi and others.

Seeing this situation, Lu Jing suddenly paid attention, carefully analyzed the situation in front of him, and found that Xungui's counterattack seemed to be huge, but it seemed that the few moves were just to protect the Niu family and the Han family, which did not match Xungui's previous style.

After carefully thinking about various possibilities, Lu Jing realized that Xun Gui was afraid that Xiang Zhuang was dancing the sword with the intention of Pei Gong and wanted to bring down the Zhaoxin Bureau.

After hearing this, Zhou Kun carefully thought about the recent changes, and suddenly found that it was abnormal, and he was extremely nervous, so he hurriedly reported the matter to Emperor Yuanyong with Huang Yongzhong.
