Volume 1 Chapter 75

Li Yuezhong frowned and pondered for a while, but decided to try it impartially.

He doesn't want to provoke the maritime giants, but it doesn't mean that he is afraid of the maritime giants, he represents the emperor, if the maritime giants mess with him, he can directly hand it over to the heavens.

At that time, if the emperor really investigates, these maritime giants will definitely be in big trouble.

Of course, he has caused big trouble for his family, and people will naturally find him trouble, and everyone can't get any cheap, if possible, he still doesn't want to turn his face with these maritime giants.

Anyway, let's ask the case first.

He directly picked up the shocking wood, slapped it the public case, and then said majestically: "Who is in the hall, report your name." ”

This class is either an official or a candidate, according to the law, you can not kneel before you are convicted or removed from your reputation, but this process of self-reporting your identity cannot be saved, not that he intends to humiliate these people and want to give them a disadvantage, mainly some of them he doesn't know.

Song Yingkui and Zhao Yan naturally knew him, and as for Xu Jie, he could also see it from the official uniform, but he didn't know Wu Tang or Yang Cong or something, so he couldn't say it, so he could only let them report it themselves.

When he asked, the people below immediately honestly reported their identities according to their rank and position, including Zhao Yan and Song Yingkui.

This Chen Wenjie was actually there, Li Yuezhong frowned slightly, and then asked: "Wu Tang, you sued the candidate Yang Congfu for cheating in the test, is there any evidence?" ”

Wu Tang "honestly" arched his hand and said: "Back to the adult, the student only saw that Yang Cong was abnormal during the government exam, so he suspected him of cheating, and there was no evidence, but the student heard that Chen Wenjie and Chen Gongzi had evidence. ”

You sue indiscriminately without evidence, and you are full of food?

Now that this situation seems to be complete, this Wu Tang is obviously not full of food, and it is very likely that Chen Wenjie instructed him.

What kind of fame are these guys doing?

Li Yuezhong then asked: "Chen Wenjie, candidate Wu Tang said that you have evidence to prove that candidate Yang Congfu cheated in the test, is it true, and if so, where is the evidence?" ”

Chen Wenjie arched his hand unhurriedly and said: "If you go back to the adult, the student has seen with his own eyes that Yang Yun, the second uncle of the candidate Yang Cong, sent a box of silver to the examiner Zhao Yan Zhao. ”

When Li Yuezhong heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, if this was an ordinary person who said this, he would definitely not believe it, but it was different for Chen Wenjie of the Longxi Chen clan to say this, because there were many people under him, and Yang Cong also said in his statement that Chen Wenjie had a personal vendetta with him, so it would not be strange for Chen Wenjie to send someone to stare at the Yang family.

Is this true?

If Zhao Yan really accepted the Yang family's silver, then what Song Yingkui said is likely to be true.

He thought about it for a while, and simply asked directly: "Zhao Yan, Chen Wenjie said that you received a box of silver from the Yang family, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Yan pretended to have an inexplicable expression, and said with a little indignation: "If you go back to your lordship, the lower officials have never seen that Yang Yun, and they have confiscated the Yang family's silver." ”

This expression proved that Zhao Yan didn't know that he had ordered someone to stuff a box of silver under his bed, and when Chen Wenjie saw this, he couldn't help but smile again.

Li Yuezhong frowned again, he found that he asked a nonsense, Zhao Yan would definitely not admit it!

What to do?

Could it be that just because Chen Wenjie said a word, he ordered to go to Yang's house to interrogate Yang Yun or search Zhao Yan's residence?

That's too hasty, isn't it?

He thought for a moment and asked again, "Chen Wenjie, did you really see Yang Yun send a box of silver to Zhao Yan?" Blatantly slandering the court officials is punishable! ”

Of course Chen Wenjie didn't see it, but he ordered someone to stuff the silver directly under someone's bed, and at this time he just wanted to clean up Yang Cong quickly, and it was too slow to even get Yang Yun to interrogate him.

He couldn't wait to arch his hand and said: "If you go back to the adult, the student has indeed seen it, and if you don't believe it, the adult can order someone to search it." ”

Really?

Li Yuezhong couldn't help asking, "What kind of box are you seeing?" ”

Chen Wenjie did not hesitate to arch his hand and said: "If you go back to the adult, what the student sees is a one-foot-square black lacquered wooden box. ”

One foot square, that can hold at least four or five hundred taels of silver, it is impossible to carry so much silver around, if Zhao Yanzhen received so much silver, he should still be in the residence, is it really searched?

Li Yuezhong looked at Zhao Yan with some embarrassment and said, "Zhao Yan, did you really confiscate the Yang family's silver?" ”

Zhao Yan pretended to be wronged, and said angrily: "My lord, Xia Guan really confiscated the Yang family's silver, if you don't believe it, just order someone to search for it!" ”

The expressions of these two people don't look like they're fake.

Li Yuezhong couldn't tell who was lying, so there was no way, only search.

He immediately shouted, "Someone." ”

This time he shouted outside, to search Zhao Yan's residence, he must not use the officials of Quanzhou Mansion, because Song Yingkui said that the government officials sentenced Xu Jie and the candidate Yang Cong to have a close relationship, if the officials of Quanzhou Mansion were allowed to search, it was likely that they would be hidden by them if they found it, of course he would not make this kind of mistake, so he shouted the cronies he brought.

Soon, a capable official walked in from the outside, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The little one is here." ”

Li Yuezhong decisively ordered: "Quickly take two people to carefully search Zhao Yan's residence to see if there is a one-foot-square black lacquered wooden box." ”

When the official heard this, he bowed his hand and obeyed, and then got up and walked out quickly.

Li Yuezhong thought about it again, and simply picked up Wu Tang and Yang Cong's forms and looked at them carefully, what he meant was that he didn't plan to interrogate them for the time being, and he would wait for the results of the search to come out.

The results of this search are indeed very important, if a box of silver is really found from Zhao Yan's residence, then it can basically be determined that Zhao Yan took bribes, if the silver is not found, it is very likely that Chen Wenjie lied.

He also understood at this time, these guys are all very good, and it is estimated that the trial will not yield any results, so he can only look at the evidence.

Therefore, he simply stopped talking and waited for the results of the search.

The court was quiet for the time being, and everyone didn't say anything, but everyone's expressions were rich.

The gloomy smile on Chen Wenjie's face became more and more intense, if it weren't for the court, it is estimated that he would have laughed out loud.

Song Yingkui in front of him wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and it was extremely difficult to pretend to be indifferent.

Wu Tang behind him was at a loss, this thing really didn't know about Chen Wenjie's planting, but from Chen Wenjie's tone, he could hear that there was a chance that this silver could be searched, so there was still a hint of expectation in his eyes.

On the other hand, the situation seems to be less rosy.

Zhao Yan was full of indignation, as if he had been wronged.

Xu Jie's face was full of indifference, but the indifference seemed to be pretending again.

As for Yang Cong, he didn't laugh at this moment, but he didn't cry either, his face showed a kind of confusion and calmness, of course, this is just the surface, in fact, he almost laughed out of a pig in his heart at this time.
