Chapter 576: Mutation



The morning light is faint, in the public hall of Kaifeng Mansion, the sound of sucking and sucking comes and goes, and a hot air with the fragrance of glutinous rice wafts out from the gate, only drifting to the old locust tree in the yard, causing the magpie to quack. "Words * love * first * hair

After catching those assassins in the early morning, Wu Zhi led Lan Lord Qin Hui and Song Gong and other subordinates to interrogate non-stop in Kaifeng Mansion, and interrogated until dawn, before completely priing open the mouths of those people, and now the testimony has been drawn, and all the evidence directly points to Zhu Mian's cronies Lei Hu, coupled with Lao Hu's confession, Zhu Mian's wings are difficult to fly this time.

Wu Zhi sat tiredly behind the public case and drank lotus seed soup, while Lord Lan Hua Rong and Qin Hui all moved a stool to sit on both sides of the public case, holding porridge bowls in their hands, and in the hall, many people who handled the case last night such as the officials and soldiers squatted directly on the ground, drinking porridge with bowls in their hands.

"Delicious"

"Madame's craftsmanship is so good"

Everyone was full of praise for the porridge, and while drinking the porridge, Lord Lian Lan and Qin Hui and Song Gong also stared at the big wooden barrel in the hall from time to time, for fear that the porridge would be gone.

This porridge was boiled by Jin Lian and them early in the morning, not because of Wu Zhi's instructions, but because the ladies had a heart, knowing that the brothers of the government and the patrol camp were protecting the Wu Mansion and handling the case all night, they must have been very tired, so they boiled several pots of lotus seed soup in advance, and came to reward the brothers at dawn.

Naturally, the brothers of the dark group can also drink the lotus seed soup with excellent taste and rich nutrition made by Jin Lian himself.

"Big brother, now that the big thing has been decided, I'll take someone back first."

After drinking the porridge, Hua Rong got up and said goodbye to Wu Zhi. He was mainly responsible for cooperating with the arrest of the assassins this time, and he could have gone back after catching the assassins, but he was not at ease, so he has been leading people to protect Wu Zhi in Kaifeng Mansion until now.

"Okay, third brother, you can go."

Wu Zhi nodded, and Hua Rong didn't need to be polite.

"Lord Lan, Lord Qin, Lord Song, brothers, farewell"

"General Flower Walks Slowly"

Everyone stood up to send them off.

After this time, Lord Lan, Qin Hui, Song Gong and Hua Rong also officially got acquainted, among which Hua Rong and Lord Lan were even more familiar at first sight and cherished each other.

Life is like this, there are some people you can make friends with as soon as you first meet. And there are some people you have been with for ten or twenty years, and you never feel that he is your friend.

"My lord, now that the evidence is ironclad, after the opening of the dynasty today, we can ask the Holy Decree to arrest and interrogate Zhu Mian, which is really fast."

Qin Hui's face was full of excitement, he had been in the office for a short time, he had not experienced any winds and waves, and now he could follow Wu Zhi to solve such a shocking case so quickly, and his heart was naturally excited.

Even the experienced Lord Lan, who is as calm as Song Gong, can't hold back his joy at this moment.

"In the face of ironclad evidence, no matter how much the official family favors Zhu Mian, he will not be able to return to the sky"

Wu Zhi was also excited, he slapped the table, got up and looked around at everyone: "Although the case has been solved, there are more important things waiting for us to do today, everyone cheers up today"

"Yes"

Everyone stood up and shouted, in fact, there is no need for Wu Zhi to remind, all the elites present are the elites of Kaifeng Mansion, and naturally understand that although the case has been investigated, today's interrogation of the suspect to make the suspect admit guilt is the most critical and last link, and the suspect has no way to quibble in front of ironclad evidence, and the case will be concluded after the Kaifeng Mansion pronounces the verdict.

"My lord, I'm afraid that the prime ministers of the two prefectures will come to Kaifeng Mansion to hear the trial today" Lord Lan wiped his mouth and said to Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi understood what Lord Lan meant, Lord Lan was asking Wu Zhi if Cai Jing Wang Huang's gift was in place, if these two intervened, the case would inevitably be closed with twists and turns.

"Don't worry, the two ministers will not favor criminals."

Cai Jing and Wang Huang's return letter Wu Zhi has received it, and both of them euphemistically expressed in the letter that they would not care about this idle matter. Old corrupt officials such as Cai Jing and Wang Huang are still more honest officials, and if they take the shares of Wuzhi Bank, they will not take money and do nothing.

"However, in such cases, I am afraid that not only the ministers of the two governments will come to hear the trial, but also the officials and officials of Taiwan should also come." Wu Zhi groaned and said to Qin Hui and Song Gong: "When the time comes to present the case in the court, you two don't have to worry about it, just tell the truth." ”

Wu Zhi was afraid that the two of them would panic at that time, so he reminded him in advance.

The trial of cases of court officials generally has to be supervised by the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Court, and the interrogation of officials above the rank of squire is not only supervised by the person who admonishes the court, but also the deacons must have one person to observe the whole process. Although Zhu Mian is not a scholar, but because of this person's deep affection, Zhao Ji will personally side the trial, and the final decision will also be issued by Zhao Ji himself.

"My lord, please rest assured," Qin Hui and Song Gong said solemnly.

"Hmm."

Wu Zhi nodded, and a hint of imperceptible regret suddenly flashed in his eyes.

And the reason why Wu Zhi regretted it was because he had expected that even if Zhu Mian was brought to justice, it would be impossible to want Zhu Mian to kill people to pay for his life in the end, because the founding of the Great Song Dynasty has always abided by the practice of not killing scholars and doctors, and Zhu Mian and Wu Zhi have the same background as Jinshi, as long as he does not rebel, he will not be sentenced to death for any crime.

This unspoken rule cannot be broken, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all scholars, and breaking this unspoken rule is tantamount to going against all the civil officials, and it is impossible to achieve it; And Wu Zhi will not break this unspoken rule, because he himself is also a scholar, and this unspoken rule is also his life-saving talisman at a critical moment.

In the original history of the Northern Song Dynasty, only one civil official was publicly sentenced to death, and this civil official was Zhang Bangchang. He also died by himself, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, after the Jin people went south to defeat Bianjing and captured Song Huizong, in order to facilitate the rule, he set up Zhang Bangchang as the puppet emperor. If this thing would rather die than obey, it would be able to save its name, and no matter how bad it was, he would become the emperor first against the Jin people, and secretly protect the officials and people of the Great Song Dynasty who fell under the iron hooves of the Jin people.

The key is that after becoming the emperor, he completely became a traitor, helping the Jin people persecute the upright and unyielding officials and loot the people, so that after the Southern Song Dynasty counterattacked and caught him, all the officials unanimously agreed to execute him in public

This kind of rebellion against the emperor will not be done by civil officials, so killing a person who has done such a thing will not threaten their respective interests.

"Why don't you frown" Qin Hui on the side noticed the change in Wu Zhi's expression and asked.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm thinking about things."

Wu Zhi waved his hand, this kind of trivial matter does not need to be said to Qin Hui and them, he has already thought about it, as long as Zhu Mian can be brought to justice, then even if the Zhu family's Great Song Dynasty tumor is completely collapsed, there will never be a day to turn over, and it will not hurt to leave Zhu Mian a dog's life for the time being.

When the name Zhu Mian is gradually forgotten in the future, Wu Zhi will make it completely disappear from this world, and the inexplicable death of a high-ranking official in the imperial court will definitely cause a sensation, but a guilty person dies in an accident, and it is estimated that few people will pay attention to it.

Zhu Mian assassinated Wu Zhi again and again, and the second time he was counted together with Wu Zhi's family, but Wu Zhi would not be as cruel as him, Wu Zhi only wanted his life

"Adult, Adult"

There was still half an hour before the start of the court meeting, and Wu Zhi finished drinking the porridge and was sitting on a chair to recuperate, when suddenly an anxious voice came from outside.

"What's the Alarm?"

Everyone in the public hall stood up, and Lord Lan stabilized the little guy who came to report the news and asked. Xiao Wu is one of the spies sent by Wu Zhi to spy on Zhu Mian.

"My lord asked us to monitor Zhu's house, just now, Zhu Mian hurriedly went out of the mansion, and it seems that some strange villains came to report it." The spy said.

"Out of the house"

"Could it be running away?"

After Qin Hui and Song Gong finished speaking, Wu Zhi shook his head at them and said: "Impossible, it's still the same sentence, it would be good if Zhu Mian escaped" After speaking, he asked the spy: "In what direction did Zhu Mian go, did he bring anything with him?"

"Zhu Mian went east when he left the house, and he only brought one Zhu Wen with him except for two guards."

"To the East Zhuwen"

Wu Zhi was puzzled: "What is he taking Zhu Wen for?"

"This Zhu Wen has nothing to do with this case." Song Gong said.

"They shouldn't have entered the palace," Lord Lan guessed, "The first gate in the palace was opened at the Donghua Gate, and the palace gate happened to open at this hour." "He is a royal guard, and he is familiar with the rules of the palace.

"Enter the Palace"

Wu Zhi frowned, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

Zhu Mian entered the palace to ask Zhao Ji, but in the face of ironclad evidence, even if Zhao Ji favors him, it has no effect, the Zhu family will undoubtedly fall, but what did he take Zhu Wen into the palace for

Just when Wu Zhi and the others were puzzled, a servant hurriedly ran in.

"My lord, Grandpa Ma has something important to see"

"Please come in."

The uneasiness in Wu Zhi's heart became stronger and stronger, although he didn't know which Ma Gonggong it was, but he still let him in without delay.

"Master Wu has an urgent matter"

The father-in-law who came in was a very young little eunuch, and seeing his panting appearance, it was obvious that he had come from the palace non-stop.

"Grandpa Ma, what's the urgency?"

As soon as he saw this eunuch Wu Zhi, he recognized that this person was Ma Yu, a confidant of Li Yan, the great eunuch in the palace, and Li Yan should have asked him to report the news. Li Yan now thinks that he and Wu Zhi have an iron-clad relationship, and he will naturally want to inform Wu Zhi if there is a situation.

"Gonggong Li asked me to tell you that Zhu Mian has led Zhu Wen to surrender in front of His Majesty, and all the involvement in the Sun family's case is Zhu Wen's behind-the-scenes instructions, and he has already recognized His Majesty and praised Zhu Mian for killing his relatives in righteousness."

"What"

Hearing this, Wu Zhi and the others were immediately shocked, and everyone was a little stunned for a moment.

"My lord, I've already brought the words, I'll take my leave, you can think of countermeasures quickly." With that, the pony man bowed and left.
