Chapter Eighty-Six: Now the Imperial Court Does Not Rely on Families
The fact that all the people of the three major families were arrested for being involved in sixty murders quickly spread in the imperial capital, shocking everyone.
No one expected that such a thing would happen suddenly.
The key is also conclusive evidence, it is true that twenty corpses were found in the courtyards of the three major families.
This kind of incident, which has evidence and is well known to everyone, is very unfavorable to the family.
On the contrary, Qin Ming seemed to be full of confidence.
On the same day, Qin Ming was in the city palace and brought the heads of the three major families to the court to try the case.
"Three, do you know the men in black who died in your mansion?"
In the hall, Qin Ming asked the three family heads below.
In the entire imperial capital, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, they dared to interrogate the heads of the three major families, and if they were tried at one time, it is estimated that Qin Ming would dare in the future.
Below, the three family heads were bitter in their hearts, and they really couldn't help it if they provoked someone like Qin Ming who was not afraid of things.
The problem is that on this issue, they say that it is not okay to know, and it is not right to say that they do not know.
In the state of Chu, it is a big crime to secretly develop forces and cultivate dead soldiers, which is to be complicit in rebellion.
If you don't admit it, you can't tell the identity of these deceased.
If they can't tell their identities, their three families can't exonerate each other.
In this case, if they explain the identity of the deceased.
For example, the Wu family said that the deceased of the Qian family was from my Wu family, and I will not pursue it.
The Tian family said that the Wu family died because of the people of my Tian family, and I will not pursue it.
The Qian family said that the Tian family died because of my Qian family's people, and they will not be investigated.
In that case, it is just that the three parties do not pursue it.
But the problem is, these men in black are all dead soldiers at first glance, who of the three major families dares to admit that they are their people?
If you don't admit it, then these murders will have to be investigated, and it will be related to the three major families.
I have to say that Qin Ming's move is too ruthless, and the three major families are in a dilemma.
In any case, they would not admit that these people belonged to the three major families.
Therefore, the result is that the case continues to be investigated, and various interrogations are made.
If you can't ask, you will be locked up.
Not long after the time passed, someone came from the palace and asked Qin Ming to enter the palace.
Qin Ming knew that the real thing was coming.
There are many children of officials from the three major families, and now that all the people of the three major families have been arrested, these officials can't sit still.
On the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Chu is mighty and domineering, and his momentum is compelling.
The hundred officials below stood still and were extremely quiet.
But as soon as Qin Ming went to the palace, the style of painting changed abruptly.
"Lord Li, I'm looking good lately."
"Hey, Master Zhang, I still have a tight face all day long, I don't owe you money."
All the officials who were greeted by Qin Ming twisted their heads away.
"Ah, Zhou Shangshu, when I see you, I think of your son, and I don't know if he died at the border, worry about it......"
The face of the Ministry of Rites was stiff and he wanted to cry.
Walking to the front of the main hall, Qin Ming bowed: "Your Majesty, you Xuan Weichen, what is the matter?" ”
Above, the emperor said solemnly: "Qin Ming, the matter of the life case within the three major families is very important, why don't you report it to your superiors?" ”
Qin Ming said cheekily: "It's not that I didn't report, it's not too late." If you want to talk about this case, it is really tragic. Twenty corpses appeared in each of the three major families, and that guy died too miserably.
And after inspection, they all had poison in their mouths, and they looked like they were going to die at any time, and the ministers judged that they were all dead. It is forbidden to privately cultivate dead soldiers in the territory of Chu State, which shows that this case is not simple. ”
The emperor slapped the table and was furious: "What? It turned out to be a dead man? Bastard, what a bastard! ”
Below, the hundred officials were as quiet as cicadas, and the emperor was furious, and they did not dare to speak.
"Qin Ming, do you have eyebrows about this?" The emperor looked at Qin Ming.
Obviously, he was paving the way for Qin Ming.
Qin Ming said: "Yes, the minister preliminarily determined that these three families belong to the nest fight. As for the conclusive evidence, there is no evidence yet, but it is doubtful to see that the heads of the three major families are very evasive about the dead and do not want to say more. ”
As soon as these words came out, a civil official stood up and pointed at Qin Ming and shouted:
"You are talking nonsense, this official is a relative of the Tian family, why doesn't this official know that there are dead soldiers in my Tian family? You don't want to spew blood. ”
Another civil official also came out: "This official is the brother of the head of the Qian family, and there are dead soldiers in the clan?" Hmph, that's nonsense. ”
"The official ......"
"Lord Qin is full of nonsense......"
Suddenly, many officials who came out of the three major families spoke out to accuse Qin Ming.
Qin Ming looked at these officials, and then said, "The lower officials are just suspicious, my lords, so excited?" Not really, right? ”
These twenty or thirty officials suddenly looked ugly, knowing that they had just behaved too excitedly.
At this time, the emperor snorted and said, "Qin Ming, do you have anything else you want to add to this matter." ”
This is the emperor who wants to see what Qin Ming intends to do.
And Qin Ming also thought about it, so he spoke directly:
"Most of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty were from big families. This case, to be handed over to any of them, is not appropriate. Therefore, the minister asked His Majesty that the case should be handed over to the lower officials. ”
The emperor frowned: "You? This case is very involved, can you handle it? ”
"What's involved? They are just a wealthy family, why does Your Majesty say that it is very involved? Qin Ming asked deliberately.
Hearing this, a minister spoke: "Who doesn't know that there are many people in the three major families who are officials in the court?" What you are investigating now is the three major families, isn't it still very involved? ”
Hearing this, these people who had something to do with the family looked at Qin Ming with a sneer.
But Qin Ming also smiled and said, "That means that the murders of the three major families are also related to the adults of these families who are officials in the court?" ”
Suddenly, the faces of those family officials who were still sneering just now suddenly changed.
They don't want to wear this big hat.
Qin Ming said again: "Please rest assured, if this case not only involves the three major families, but also involves the ministers of the court, then the official will definitely enforce the law impartially, and one will arrest the other." ”
The faces of those family officials are dark, Qin Ming is this a threat?
It means that if Qin Ming investigates the three major families, and these officials dare to intervene, Qin Ming will be arrested together as if they are also related to the case?
This Nima is so ruthless, the emperor didn't expect Qin Ming to be so ruthless.
One of the officials was not convinced: "Qin Ming, you'd better find out, don't wronged the three major families, you know, the three major families are the ...... to provide talents for the imperial court."
Qin Ming interrupted with a sneer without waiting for him to finish: "This lord, without the three major families, the imperial court will have no talents?" It's ridiculous, you should have heard about the fact that hundreds of bookstores in the imperial capital have recently opened their doors to sell books.
I might as well tell you that these bookstores were opened by the lower officials, and they have sold nearly 200,000 books in four days. Nowadays, in the imperial capital, many talented students from wealthy families have books to read.
And in my bookstore, there is a steady stream of books that are sold at low prices every day. That is to say, in the near future, there will be a large number of learned talents in the world who can serve in the imperial court and benefit the people of the world.
The number of these students is not comparable to several major families, so don't mention to me that any family provides officials for the imperial court, today's imperial court, not relying on the family, can accept the world's poor people! The era of the family's monopoly on civil servants is over! ”
Above the court, Qin Ming's words lingered in the ears of hundreds of officials for a long time, making them stunned and shocked in their hearts.
Similarly, the emperor was shocked.
He didn't know if what Qin Ming said was true, but if it was true, then the world would really change dramatically. Read the latest chapter of "Rebirth of the Joyful King's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
