The flying pigeon of the cabinet set off from the capital, transferred at one post station after another, and quickly flew to Shaanxi. West & River. Sue.

Shaanxi. Xi is okay to say, Fu Changzong, Li Banghua and others cleaned up, and then prepared to enter Beijing, there is not much obstacle.

But Fang Kongzhi and Yang Jingchen couldn't get out for a while.

Nan Zhili's guillotine has been raised high, and the edict of the cabinet has also arrived, and they need to deal with it well and deal with the aftermath before they can leave with peace of mind.

Ying Tianfu, the governor of the yamen.

Yang Jingchen looked at the flying pigeon biography from the cabinet, his expression never relaxed, and he looked at Fang Kongzhi and said, "This is your suggestion to the cabinet?" ”

Fang Kongzhi showed respect to this top boss, leaned over slightly, and said: "The lower official is concerned about the emperor, this time the emperor will definitely be angry, if he can't satisfy the emperor, and then send the Qincha, Nanzhili will not be up to us." ”

Although Yang Jingchen has been away from Beijing for a long time, he also knows Zhu Xu's methods, his face is calm, and he said: "Killing so many people, the impact is still too great, I am afraid that in the future, the road will be blocked, the people will be silent, the world will be panicked, and it will not be good for the country......"

The position of Fang Kongzhi and others is naturally that of officials, and their thoughts and worries are also the same.

Fang Kongzhi didn't worry about this, but he couldn't help them think about it for a long time, and said: "The cabinet ordered us to come to Beijing before August, and the matter here must be dealt with as soon as possible." ”

Yang Jingchen looked at the cabinet's order, hesitated, and said: "Okay, order the Department of Prisons and Prisons to sort out the files, immediately review the Dali Temple, and deal with it collectively early tomorrow morning to close this matter." ”

Cutting through the mess quickly and solving it quickly is the only way to deal with this kind of thing.

Fang Kongzhi's expression tightened, and he said, "Obey!" ”

Yang Jingchen sighed in his heart, and said without concealment: "My Ming Dynasty has had many disasters since Yingzong, and now it is difficult to reverse it, but there are still many obstacles and difficulties. ”

Fang Kongzhi looked at Yang Jingchen's face, thought for a while, and said: "My lord, now that the 'New Deal' has matured day by day, as long as we wait for everyone to work together, success is just around the corner, don't be discouraged." ”

Yang Jingchen laughed and said: "I'm not discouraged, I just think it's a pity, whether it's Donglin or these people now, their knowledge, ambition, and ability are all good, they are my talents, but they just took the wrong path and ended up like this. ”

Fang Kongzhi's eyes moved slightly, and he was a little understanding, so he didn't say more.

These things can only be left for future generations to comment, and they still have to do the things they need to do now.

When Fang Kongzhi was talking to Yang Jingchen, the rumors of Nan Zhili were still rampant and boiling.

"Have you heard? The governor's yamen is going to kill everyone this time, and all the people caught will be killed! ”

"What's more, my son inquired about the news that the big families with more than 100 acres of land are going to be exiled to overseas wild lands......"

"It is said that all the acres of land in Nanzhili must be handed over to the imperial court, and nothing will be left, if anyone resists, they will be exterminated!"

"You don't know, do you? The Governor's Palace has ordered all the armies to be on standby! ”

"The imperial court is getting more and more chaotic, and there is still no place for the entire Ming Dynasty to live......"

"Since the current accession to the throne, one day it will be peaceful, and this Nanzhili has also become Jiang. Su, Nan. Kyoto no longer exists......"

At this time, a young man rushed in and said urgently: "Dali Temple has posted a notice, and the public trial will start today, and the ...... will start soon."

"What, start today?"

"Is the governor's yamen going to do it? Is it really going to kill so many people? Woohoo, the holy road does not exist, the royal road does not prosper, this is a great omen......"

"Don't talk about it, let's go see ......"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Xu Jie commanded the Criminal Prison Department to quickly sort out the files, human and material evidence, and prepare to transfer them to Dali Temple.

The Dali Temple of Yingtianfu is provincial-level, and has the right to try officials below the third grade, this time involved, hundreds of officials of all sizes in the government and the opposition, plus some squires, famous and famous, such a large-scale, even the Dali Temple in the capital needs Wang Qiaonian to sit in charge, and Zhu Xu is authorized to be qualified to try.

But the matter was in a hurry, with Zhu Xu's nod, the cabinet's edict, Jiang. The Dali Temple in Suzhou Province can also make a special trial.

Yang Jingchen, Fang Kongzhi, Lu Qin, Xu Jie, Feng Jiangfeng, et al. Su's high-ranking civil and military officials were all present as observers, and the officials of Dali Temple were waiting for them.

There are too many witnesses, their correspondence, promised contracts, and the silver that was exchanged, etc., this case is a nail in the coffin, and there is no doubt that the first instance is an iron case.

The problem is an idiom called: the law does not hold the public accountable.

Now there are thousands of people involved, each of them is not simple, it is widely involved, and they are inextricably linked with the entire Ming Dynasty, including the high-level officials of the imperial court.

Dali Temple received Wang Qiaonian's order, cooperated with Yang Jingchen, Fang Kongzhi and others to merge the complex cases and treat them as 'one case', and directly pronounced the verdict on the more than 1,000 people involved in the case.

The young man who participated in politics and was frivolous had already received a hint, and he also knew his guilt, and even the result of the trial, he nodded and pleaded guilty without surprise, and had no objection to the verdict of Dali Temple.

Everything went exceptionally smoothly, without any twists and turns, everyone's expressions were calm, everything seemed to have been rehearsed countless times, and even the onlookers outside the lobby were unusually quiet.

"Han Xiaocheng, Zhaoqiyuan, Shangguan Jiazuo, Liu Deqin...... Three hundred and twenty-nine in all, guilty of treason, treason, murder...... Sentence and execute immediately! ”

Qian Jiayou, Zhang Zusheng, Li Guizhou, Sun Qinmian...... accomplice, sentenced to exile, raided ......"

"Wu Zhiyuan, Zheng Chengming and other coerced accomplices, exiled for 3,000 miles......"

Until the final verdict was announced, there was still silence inside and outside the hall.

Yang Jingchen and Fang Kongzhi and the others quietly looked at each other, a little uneasy about the reaction outside. They did all this for the outside world to see, hoping to eliminate rumors as much as possible and calm the hearts of the people in Nanzhili.

Nan Zhili has been tossed three times and twice, and the rumors have not stopped, this large-scale trial, if it can't be calmed down, there will be chaos again in the future.

But look at the reaction of these people outside...... They seem to have done it?

Yang Jingchen, Fang Kongzhi and other high-ranking officials were worried, and the judges of the trial were also a little confused, and they were even more panicked, if it backfired, they would be the first to hit the court board.

There are only some people standing in the hall, they have already been explained, honestly accept their fate, they will not appeal or anything, and wait for death with peace of mind, but watching the judge's one-man show from beginning to end, the silence is terrible, which makes them also worried.

The people outside didn't react for a while, all because this verdict was too far away from their expectations, and such a big case, according to past memories, would definitely not be so 'light', and they were all waiting for the major events in the future.

As a result, inside and outside the hall, almost all of them were staring at each other.

"The verdict is over, quit!"

The presiding judge knocked on the startled wood and said loudly.

At this time, the people outside were a little awake, but they still couldn't accept it, this was not their usual idea, and it was inconsistent with their previous speculation.

Those who were sentenced also accepted it because it was 'too light', and when they saw the verdict landing, their hearts fell to the ground, and their faces were calm.

Yang Jingchen, Fang Kongzhi and the others looked at the reaction outside, glanced at each other, and got up to leave.

They are really a little uneasy now, if Nan Zhili is not calm, they may not be able to leave.

Not long after the verdict, there was a lot of discussion and noise outside.

"This time the court is really tolerant, and it actually fell so lightly......"

"Yes, I heard the rumors before, saying that more than 3,000 people would be killed and more than 10,000 people would be exiled......"

"This raid is also very measured, there is no punishment, the court must be deliberately to show leniency......"

"It's rare that the imperial court hasn't started a killing spree, I hope the imperial court can really be lenient and don't continue to treat our scholars harshly......"

Yang Jingchen, Fang Kongzhi and others have been worried, closely observing public opinion, and when they heard the report, a group of people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Jingchen finally smiled and said, "Qianfu, this time, we can enter Beijing with confidence." ”

Qianfu is the word of Fang Kong Shao, he looked at Yang Jingchen with rare ease, and said with a smile: "You can breathe a sigh of relief, but when you get to the capital, you don't know the cabinet, how the emperor plays the board, you can't take it lightly......"

Speaking of this, Yang Jingchen's smile eased a little, and said: "Speaking of which, we must enter Beijing as soon as possible and listen to some news, this time the imperial court basically agreed to our disposal, not the emperor's style." ”

Fang Kongzhi listened, turned his head to look at Xu Jie, and said, "Lord Xu, this matter is related to my Jiang. Sue, there are some things you should always tell us, right? ”

Xu Jie was previously a cabinet secretary, a close confidant of Bi Ziyan, and half a student.

Xu Jie knew that he had always been a vigilant character in the governor's yamen, so he groaned and said, "I received a letter from Bi Ge Lao, which said that the emperor's attitude this time was a bit unexpected, and there may be other plans. ”

"Do you have any plans?" Yang Jingchen hurriedly asked.

Xu Jie shook his head and said: "The emperor's mind has always been difficult to guess, and Elder Bi Ge is also quite worried, so I hope we can do it thoroughly and neatly, and there will be some room for maneuver at that time." ”

Yang Jingchen and Fang Kongzhi looked at Xu Jie, and were silent for a while, Yang Jingchen said: "If it weren't for the aftermath of too many things, I would have hoped that Lord Xu could go to the capital together." ”

Xu Jie knew what Yang Jingchen meant, and said: "Xia Guan wrote a letter overnight, and when the time comes, please ask the two adults to transfer it to Bi Ge Lao, I believe it will be of some use." ”

Yang Jingchen and Xu Jie are all smiling, Xu Jie is Jiang. The people of the Su Governor Yamen, in this way, they can get closer to Bi Ziyan and suffer less dumb losses.

The verdict of Dali Temple soon spread throughout the city, some were relieved, some were disappointed, and naturally some were angry.

"I guessed, faint king, the court doesn't dare to kill, if it really kills, we will directly rebel!"

Of course they don't dare, and they don't want to think about who the entire Ming Dynasty depends on to feed them, just more than 300 people...... Wait, most of them will definitely be pardoned in various ways, sneaking to let ......"

"This time it was a failure, but there will definitely be a next time, we must set things right and return to the basics!"

"It's still wrong this time, if we want to achieve our ambition, we have to find a way to enter the imperial court, we have to change our course and work step by step......"

"That's right, the sages of Donglin are right, only the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty can support Sheji, return to the ancestral system, let the world be peaceful, and I will ...... Ming Dynasty for ten thousand years"
