"And where did that jade cabbage in your house come from?" As soon as Zhang Lingyang's words came out, Zhou Shanning's face was as dead as ashes.

"If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do!" Zhang Lingyang's eyes were like a sharp sword, fiercely piercing Zhou Shanning's heart defense, causing his position to be in chaos.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, there is indeed a jade cabbage in the minister's house, but it was sold by Weichen for a lot of money! Zhou Shanning hurriedly argued.

"You sold it yourself?" Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but sneer, "Zhou Aiqing's family is really rich!"

However, as far as I know, there is only one jade cabbage in your home in the whole world, which can be described as priceless.

I don't know how much Zhou Aiqing spent to buy it? Is it 500,000 taels of silver? Or a million taels of silver? ”

With a cold snort, Zhang Lingyang glanced at Sun Sheng, "Sun Sheng, tell the ministers about the origin of that jade cabbage!" ”

"Yes, long live the Lord!" Sun Sheng replied, then looked at the ministers in the hall and said with a smile: "You may not know that the jade cabbage in Zhou Shangshu's house was originally an heirloom of the owner of the HSBC ticket number.

But five years ago, the jade cabbage inexplicably entered Zhou Shangshu's house.

If you want to say that there is nothing involved, even our eunuch, who doesn't know a lot of big words, doesn't believe it.

So our family ordered someone to investigate and found that five years ago, the young owner of the HSBC ticket number was implicated in a murder case in the capital.

Originally, it was a matter of conclusive evidence, but according to the law of the Great Zhou, the young owner of the HSBC ticket number was certain to die. But under the interrogation of Mr. Zhou, who was the secretary of the Criminal Department at the time, the young owner of the HSBC ticket number was acquitted.

And it was from that time that the jade cabbage, which was originally used as an heirloom by the owner of the HSBC ticket number, became Zhou Shangshu's private treasure. ”

"Is this true?" As soon as Sun Sheng's words fell, the first person who couldn't stand was not others, but Zhou Shanning's second daughter-in-law, Zhang Zhiyuan, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Perhaps knowing that he was certain to die, Zhou Shanning simply confessed, "Since Your Majesty already knows, then the criminal minister has nothing to say!" ”

Glancing at Zhang Zhiyuan, Zhou Shanning spoke again: "Elder Zhang Ge, you don't have to question the old man pretendically!" These things are indeed done by the old man, but how much of it is clean under your ass? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Zhiyuan frowned and asked.

"What do you mean? Isn't Zhang Ge Lao clear in his heart? Since he knew that he was going to die, Zhou Shanning was no longer afraid, and said with a smile: "Others don't know, don't the old man know either?"

Elder Zhang Ge, as far as I know, you accept bribes from Jin merchants, I'm afraid that there will be no less than one million taels! ”

"You don't want to spew blood!" Seeing that Zhou Shanning dared to slander himself, Zhang Zhiyuan was furious when he boarded, "The old man has no grievances with you, and he is the second daughter's in-laws, why did you frame the old man?" ”

"You have no grievances with the old man, but the old man just can't see the old man being questioned, but you are safe and sound.

Over the years, the old man has been flattering you, and the old man is fed up! Zhou Shanning looked crazy, "You think you're doing things cleanly?"

But under the old man's attention, he still found some clues! ”

Saying that, Zhou Shanning said to Zhang Lingyang on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, as far as the criminal minister knows, Zhang Zhiyuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, accepted bribes through his second brother Zhang Zhiyi during his tenure.

Its stolen silver is no less than one million taels of silver, please Your Majesty Mingjian! ”

"Your Majesty, Zhou Shanning is pure blood, the old minister has never accepted a bribe of even a penny since he came out, please be aware of it!" Zhang Zhiyuan also hurriedly deducted his first statement.

The changes in the hall were dazzling, and the ministers in the hall were dazzled.

Even Zhang Lingyang didn't expect Zhou Shanning to suddenly shake out such a thing.

Zhang Lingyang was hesitating about what to do next, and Zhou Shanning, who was kneeling below, spoke again: "Your Majesty, most of Zhang Zhiyuan's acceptance of bribes was handled by his second brother Zhang Zhiyi. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Lingyang nodded noncommittally and said, "Sun Sheng, immediately announce that Zhang Zhiyi will enter the palace to meet him!" ”

Half an hour later, Zhang Zhiyi was escorted to the Taihe Palace.

Zhang Zhiyi obviously didn't know what was happening in the court, so he bowed to Zhang Lingyang in a daze, and then fell to the ground honestly.

"Zhang Zhiyi, just now Zhou Shanning took the initiative to explain to me, saying that you accepted bribes for your brother Zhang Zhiyuan, but I don't know if this matter is true?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiyi hurriedly shouted that he was wronged, "Zhou Shanning's blood spurted people, since my brother's eldest son was appointed as the first assistant of the cabinet, he has been conscientious, and he has never done anything to bend the law for personal gain, let alone accepted even a penny of bribes, please be aware of it." ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhiyi turned around and looked at Zhou Shanning viciously, and asked: "Zhou Shanning, in vain, my Zhang family and you are married as sons and daughters, and this is how you repay your in-laws?"

Without evidence, you dare to slander my brother, I think you are really a wolf-hearted person! ”

"I'm a wolf-hearted?" Seeing Zhang Zhiyi say this, Zhou Shanning couldn't help but sneer and said, "What about you Zhang Zhiyi?" ”

"What's wrong with me?

Although I have never been diligent, but under the strict supervision of my brother, I have never done anything illegal and undisciplined, you honestly explain, why do you slander my brother, and what good will it do you to do so? And what evidence do you have to accuse my brother of being corrupt? ”

"What evidence is there?" Zhou Shanning couldn't help but sneer, "Don't think that the old man doesn't know about the selfish things you do!" ”

Saying that, Zhou Shanning bowed to Zhang Lingyang on the dragon chair and said, "Please Your Majesty, the most famous Baihua Pavilion in Beijing is his Zhang family's industry!" ”

"Hundred Flowers Pavilion?" Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but be stunned.

For Baihua Pavilion, Zhang Lingyang has long heard of it.

After all, Baihua Pavilion is involved in a public case, and if there is no Baihua Pavilion, maybe Liu Wenxuan, the original head of the household department, will not step down.

And when Zhou Shanning spit out the three words "Hundred Flowers Pavilion", Zhang Zhi's face changed greatly as soon as he boarded.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Zhiyuan hurriedly looked at Zhang Zhiyi, and asked with a sharp eye: "Second brother, let me ask you, is that Baihua Pavilion really our family's property?" ”

Zhang Zhiyi didn't dare to look at Zhang Zhiyuan's eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge.

Seeing this, Zhou Shanning couldn't help laughing and said, "Zhang Zhiyi, do you still want to deny it?" Do you want the people of Dongchang and Jinyiwei to arrest the steward of Baihua Pavilion and confront you? ”

Originally, Zhang Zhiyuan had already believed most of it when he saw Zhang Zhiyi's eyes dodging, but now seeing Zhou Shanning say this, he has completely believed that his second brother Zhang Zhiyi has done all kinds of violations of law and discipline and accepted bribes behind his back......
