Chapter 786: Exoneration (I)

In the face of Lu Jin's sudden accusation, the most nervous among the many people present was, of course, Liu Muqing, he even felt that his back was soaked in cold sweat, and in a panic, he wanted to step forward to obstruct it, but he didn't have the guts, so he could only stand there in a daze with a pale face.

However, someone still stood up to help him, and it was Yu Shiyue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who finally couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that this case had not yet been decided, and Lord Lu suddenly proposed to investigate the so-called thief who framed him behind the scenes, which is really suspicious." Even if he has indeed severed relations with the Lu family a long time ago, it is difficult to guarantee that there is another hidden secret. "As the official who presided over the previous trial of Lu Jin's fraud case, of course he couldn't let him get away with it so easily, otherwise how could he and the majesty of the Yamen of the Criminal Department exist?

The emperor was not completely on Lu Jin's side for a while, although he was happy to accept such a statement, but the doubts in his heart did not completely dissipate after all. After seeing the hesitation of the Son of Heaven, some other officials who had already had a disagreement with Lu Jin and Jinyiwei also took the opportunity to speak out, saying that the case still needs to be investigated deeply, and unless there can be definite evidence and witnesses to show that Lu Jin is innocent, his suspicion still cannot be exempted.

In the face of this attitude of the ministers, the Son of Heaven was even more difficult to insist on, so he had to look at Lu Zhen a little apologetically and said: "What you Aiqing said is not unreasonable. In this case, I would like to let the three legal divisions jointly hear this case, so as to achieve absolute justice and no indulgence, what do you think? ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Seeing that the Son of Heaven did not favor Lu Zhen this time, the ministers were also happy in their hearts, and hurriedly agreed.

And Lu Jin, he didn't have too much dissatisfaction with this, he was indeed at fault in this matter, and he deserved to suffer some twists and turns. Moreover, it is much fairer for the three legal divisions to try the case than for the criminal department alone, and it is easier to deal with it by yourself. Of course, what is more important is that he knows that Jinyiwei has obtained enough evidence to prove his innocence, and when he shows it at the court trial, it will be enough to turn the whole case around.

At this point, today's court meeting has finally come to an end. Many people withdrew from the palace with a lot of worries, and many people looked Lu Zhen up and down with strange eyes, both suspicious of him, and more, with a few expressions of disdain. Because his severance of relations with the Lu family was too much of a breakthrough in the values of this time, it was natural for the officials of the DPRK and China to regard him as an outlier.

However, Lu Zhen did not take this to heart. A manly man, since he dares to do it, he must dare to be. Even if he will be criticized by many people because of this, as long as he has a clear conscience, he does not have to care too much about other people's opinions.

When Lu Zhen followed everyone out of the palace gate, he saw a team of brocade guard brothers guarding there at a glance, looking forward to the palace gate. When they saw Lu Zhen come out, everyone's faces showed a happy smile, and they all stepped forward to pay their respects: "Dudu, this time you really suffered." It's the subordinates who are ineffective, and please punish the governor severely! As he spoke, these people knelt down in unison, looking like they blamed themselves.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Yang Zhen at the front, and said, "You don't have to be like this, this official has never blamed you." This time, someone deliberately set up a game against us, so that people could not be guarded against. And if you really want to talk about responsibility, I, the governor, have the greatest responsibility

of the one. ”

"Governor ......" everyone's hearts were moved, their own governors suffered hardships, but they didn't blame everyone, this was something they had never experienced before, and it also made them have a little more respect for Lu Jin.

"Okay, this is the palace, let's make a long story short." Lu Zhen then looked solemn again.

But what did the governor mean by this? Won't you come back with us? Everyone was stunned.

Lu Zhen nodded: "The charges on my body have not been completely cleared, so naturally I can't go back to the Zhenfu Division." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the side, where there were still a few officers from the Criminal Department waiting, but they didn't dare to come forward to urge them at this time.

"How can this be true? These bastards of the Criminal Department still dare to be disrespectful to the governor? Xue Xing was immediately annoyed, and he raised his arms and wanted to step forward to attack them, but was stopped by Lu Jin's look: "What are you messing around?" Is it because I am afraid that the official will be safe and sound, so I have to make some trouble? ”

"The subordinates don't dare to ......," Xue Xing hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Now let's get down to business. Although His Majesty has accepted my words and knows that I have no intention of cheating, there is still some lack of evidence in the matter. And as far as I know, you have already held all the relevant witnesses in your hands in the past few days, so the next thing is also very good, and when the three divisions will be interrogated in two days, you will bring the witnesses to go, and then you will naturally be able to completely clear my charges. Lu Zhen said solemnly: "Especially in Suzhou, there is even more physical evidence about my severance of relations with the Lu family." ”

"Don't worry, the governor is all in custody, and we will definitely bring people to testify for you then!"

"That's the best. Also, you have to take care of Yao Gan there, but don't let him suffer too much. Lu Zhen said again. For Yao Gan, he still felt a little guilty, because judging from the current situation, the other party set up this game in order to deal with him, and Yao Gan was only implicated.

"Obedience." Yang Zhen gave up. Lu Zhen nodded with satisfaction, parted from them, and came back to those obviously timidly criminal department officers, and said, "Let's go, take me back to the pavilion." ”

"Yes, Lord Lu, please." These people obviously already knew what happened at today's morning court meeting, and they knew that Lu Zhen would soon be cleared of responsibility, so their attitude towards him became more and more respectful.

It wasn't until they saw Lu Jin's carriage leave, that Yang Zhen and the others walked back to their respective horses, turned over, and then galloped away......

In a remote corner outside the palace, Liu Muqing, who was full of panic, walked back and forth uneasily, until a eunuch appeared in front of him, and his footsteps stopped: "Why are you here?" There was a clear hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Godfather said, now that things have changed, it's better to have less contact with you, after all, our identity is too eye-catching." The other party replied lightly.

"Hmph, now that you know your identity? Why did you want to win me over before? Liu Muqing muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. After a pause, he said: "Things have changed, what should I do next, you have to come up with a charter, right?" That Lu Zhen is not good

In the same way, there is Jinyiwei as his minions, once he succeeds in exonerating himself, I will be finished. ”

"Godfather said, Lord Liu, please calm down, things are far from being as unbearable as you think, at least now Lu Jin's charges are still there, as long as we get things done, he still doesn't want to clear his suspicion."

"Is there really a way to undo this?" Liu Muqing looked at the other party with blank eyes and asked. He is indeed weak-hearted, because a few days ago, he was in a hurry to force Lu Zhen to confess, and he had been completely exposed in front of the other party. He was even very sure that as long as Lu Jinyi was free and regained control of Jinyiwei, the first thing to win must be himself. And Jin Yiwei's methods, he has heard of them for a long time......

"That's nature. This time, the godfather used the power of the East Factory, which is no worse than Jinyiwei. The other party replied with confidence.

And after hearing the word Dongchang, Liu Muqing did feel relieved. With the power of the East Factory, it should not be difficult to destroy some physical evidence in Suzhou, and even it should be quite simple to get rid of some key witnesses silently. This finally showed a smile on his face: "In this way, I can rest assured." With that, he threw his hand at the other party and left in a hurry.

However, Liu Muqing, who left with peace of mind, didn't notice that behind him, the eunuch who looked quite low-key just now was staring at him with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a death row prisoner who was about to rush to the execution ground!

@@@@@

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, anyway, it was only half a day later, and the interrogation of Lu Zhen by the court this morning quickly spread all over the city.

When those candidates knew that Lu Zhen was likely to be acquitted and found innocent, they couldn't bear it anymore. Soon, some people criticized this in the streets and alleys, and even thought that this was a manifestation of the protection of officials and officials.

Subsequently, there was also the reckless and bold candidate who went to a few relevant yamen to make trouble, and he had to ask the court to give him an explanation.

In this regard, the yamen of the imperial court are also a headache. These people are people of status, and they do all this for a valid reason, so that no one can use coercion to disperse them. In the end, only a few officials came forward to appease and make it clear that the case was still pending, and that a final conclusion could only be reached after the trial of the three legal divisions.

However, many candidates obviously did not believe in this rhetoric, and still made a fuss, and even threatened that if the government could not give a satisfactory answer, they would go to beat the drums and let the current emperor administer justice.

This time, it annoyed these officials of the yamen, and the repeated forbearance was actually exchanged for the other party's nose kicking in the face, is it really unbearable? So with an order, the criminal department and other yamen won several of the most joyful moves. Then, even the people of the Jinyi Guard suddenly got involved in the matter, which frightened these troublemakers.

And in this piece of turmoil, the February of the seventh year of Daming Jingtai finally turned over, and the third day of the first month of March was the day when the three legal divisions collectively tried the case of Lu Jin's fraud.

On the evening of the second day of the new year, he rode a fast horse to the capital and went straight to the Yamen of Fusi in Jinyiwei Town......
