"My lord, Zhu Mian is asking Zhu Wen to help him carry the bag," Qin Hui frowned after being stunned. "Co*Fun*Words*Love*First*Fa ()』

"If he asks Zhu Wen to help him take the blame, he must have made comprehensive arrangements, then the evidence on our side is a little insufficient, and only Lao Hu's confession is probably not enough to involve Zhu Mian" Song Gong said in a deep voice.

Lord Lan was silent, just staring and pondering. And Wu Zhi didn't speak, but the turmoil in his heart hadn't subsided.

This time Zhu Mian's action was not only a surprise to Wu Zhi in the case, but more importantly, Zhu Mian's move implied extremely sophisticated political skills, which was a unique means of power and tactics in ancient officialdom, and this method only revolved around one person, that is, the emperor

The emperor is the core of officialdom and the key to political struggle, no matter what crisis he falls into, as long as he takes the lead in thinking of countermeasures to stabilize the emperor, then all troubles will be solved.

Wuzhi's lack of experience in officialdom, coupled with the fact that he paid too much attention to the steps of handling cases before, thought that he could be invincible with ironclad evidence, so he neglected to restrict Zhu Mian, thus allowing Zhu Mian to take advantage of the loophole.

I have to admit that Zhu Mian's trick was swift and clean, and he completely withdrew him from the case at once, and even Wu Zhi was helpless.

Knock knock

Just when Wu Zhi and the others were thinking about countermeasures, the drums outside Kaifeng Mansion rang out.

"It's coming so soon"

Wu Zhi and Lord Lan glanced at each other, then their faces were gloomy, and they ordered their men to open the class and pass the drummer to the hall.

"Mighty"

A team of people walked into the Kaifeng Mansion public hall in a mighty way, Wu Zhi sat on the hall, Lord Lan Qin Hui and Song Gong were lined up on the left and right, and the officials holding the killing sticks on both sides were a little out of spirit, and their momentum was suppressed by the group of people who came in.

The person who came was none other than Zhu Mian and his party.

Zhu Mian is dressed in a three-grade official uniform, and his entourage is full of fresh clothes and bright boots on the left and right, which is very stylish. He was also surrounded by several men with ropes tied to their hands and held by soldiers.

The person who was tied up, Wu Zhi, only recognized Zhu Wen, the other person was a tall beard with a beard, and it should be Lei Hu, the boss who confessed to the assassins last night, and a middle-aged man with a mustache who looked like a scholar should be the chief butler of the Zhu family.

Seeing these people, Wu Zhi's eyes couldn't help but become cold, Zhu Mian asked Zhu Wen to take the blame, and took the initiative to hand over the accomplice Lei Hu and the big housekeeper, he must have already made a confession, and he wanted to let Zhu Wen take the blame to the end.

Slammed the startling wood, Wu Zhi stared at Zhu Mian and said unceremoniously: "Zhu Mian, did you bring these people to my Kaifeng Mansion to confess their sins?"

Zhu Mian looked at Wu Zhi hatefully, sneered, and said: "Wu Zhi, you should pay attention to what you say, your official rank and position are higher than you, how dare you be so rude when you see me" After reprimanding Wu Zhi, Zhu Mian said arrogantly: "But you are right, I did bring someone here to confess my guilt, but it was not me who confessed, but I killed my relatives righteously, and found the murderer of the Sun family and the mastermind behind the scenes for you."

Seeing that the real murderer Zhu Mian was so arrogant, daring to despise the court and despise Wu Zhi, Lord Lan, as well as the officials, were also secretly angry.

"Zhu Mian, I already have the evidence, you are so child-prostituting, after killing the children of the Zheng family in Shanghe Village, you killed the entire Zheng family, and then sent someone to set fire to Lord Sun's family, and the official was about to ask for an arrest It has nothing to do with you" Wu Zhi deliberately choked him with words.

"Hmph, Lord Wu, don't you want to spew blood, how can you kill so many people" Sneered, Zhu Mian continued: "But the death of those people can't be said to have nothing to do with me, it's because I can't discipline him, so my cousin Zhu Wen made this big mistake, and the housekeeper and the head of the guard were also instructed to do a lot of evil things." No, I arrested people for you, and they confessed to the evil things they did, and I hope that the adults will enforce the law impartially and punish them severely."

After Zhu Mian finished speaking, Zhu Wen stood up with his chest puffed up and said: "I am behind everything that is behind the scenes, I killed the prostitution, I sent Lei Hu to kill the Zheng family, and I also asked Lei Hu to find someone to set fire to Lord Sun's family."

"Didn't you catch those assassins last night, presumably they have already confessed to me," Lei Hu next to him also sneered, "Your Excellency, you can't blame me, I also obeyed the orders of our young master Zhu Wen, and had to do it" The tone was very proud.

The housekeeper over there also said leisurely: "I can testify to these." ”

After a few people finished speaking, Lord Lan's face was pale, Qin Hui and Song Gong were already blushing angrily, and even their bodies were already trembling slightly, it was the first time they had seen a criminal so arrogant when he arrived in the court.

Wu Zhi's face was not good-looking, these people in front of him seemed to be admitting their guilt, but in fact, they were excusing Zhu Mian and trying their best to clear up their relationship with Zhu Mian. And they knew that they had successfully cleared Zhu Mian out, but Wu Zhi was helpless, so they were so arrogant when they confessed their guilt.

This arrogance is a victorious posture in the face of Wu Zhi.

syllable

Wu Zhi was furious, and smashed the shocking wood hard, he planned to repair Zhu Wen and the others first, since he confessed his guilt, the government naturally had the right to beat and kill the prestige

Let you be arrogant and cripple you

"Someone Coming"

"Wait"

seemed to know what Wu Zhi was going to do, Zhu Mian interrupted Wu Zhi's words first, and then stepped onto Wu Zhitang's case, and said loudly: "I have Your Majesty's dictation"

Hearing His Majesty's words, Wu Zhi and the others all changed their faces, and they had no choice but to go to the hall and bow to Zhu Mian.

No one dared to spread the emperor's dictation, Zhu Mian said that if there was, it was true, and Wu Zhi could only obediently go down and listen to the order.

"Ahem"

Zhu Mian was high up, looking at Wu Zhi and other Kaifeng Mansion officials who bowed their heads, and was very relieved in his heart, so he deliberately dragged it out.

Zhu Wen, who was behind him, saw Wu Zhi looking angry, and he was also secretly happy.

Wu Zhi was really unhappy, very unhappy, although he knew that he was worshipping the emperor's message, but after all, the person who passed the message was Zhu Mian, and this was the first time Wu Zhi had bent over Zhu Mian

"Your Majesty has an edict: Wu Aiqing listen, the Zhu family is such a scum, it is really a misfortune for the family. Zhu Mian had no way to discipline him, and he should have been punished, but he remembered that he could kill his relatives with righteousness, which was very valuable, so he was not investigated. The rest of the sinners, such as Zhu Wen, have all confessed to their crimes, and there is no need to torture them again. The case must be concluded as soon as possible, and the offender can be assigned according to the severity of the crime. Aiqing's hard work in handling the case is indispensable, and after the case is closed, I will set up a banquet with you to reward you."

After reading the oracle, he seemed to realize Zhao Ji's favor to Wu Zhi, and Zhu Mian's face was full of jealousy.

And Wu Zhi's face is even more ugly, Zhu Mian is really good at bewitching the emperor's heart, and the edict not only mentions that Wu Zhi will not be allowed to torture Zhu Wen and others, but also points out that the final sentence is "exile", and the most ruthless exile is only exile to Shamen Island or sent to the northwest to fill the army

This is as terrifying as the death penalty for ordinary people, if not more than the death penalty. But for a powerful family like the Zhu family, it is equivalent to an acquittal

Wu Zhi frowned tightly, if this is the result, then this case will be investigated in vain, all the previous efforts have come to naught, and his own knife has been in vain.

"Master Wu, I handed over the murderer to you, you have to take care of it, don't let them run away" Zhu Mian approached Wu Zhi and said with a smile: "By the way, Your Majesty's command, you must strictly abide by it, if you let me know that you are resisting the decree, don't blame me for sueing"

"Hahaha"

After speaking, Zhu Mian left Zhu Wen and the others to walk out of Kaifeng Mansion with a smile and a retinue.

Wu Zhi stared at Zhu Mian's back, his face sank like water, and Lord Lan, Qin Hui, Song Gong and others all stood behind Wu Zhi with an angry face.

"Master Wu, we are all tired of standing, you hurry up and put us in prison, I didn't sleep well last night, this will just borrow your Kaifeng Mansion prison to make up for sleep." Zhu Wen on the side teased Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Wen inexplicably.

"Look at it, if you refuse to lock us up, then let us go" Lei Hu next to Zhu Wen shouted at Wu Zhi in a thick voice, looking very murderous, he regarded Wu Zhi as a soft persimmon.

"Who gave you the courage to shout before me"

As soon as Wu Zhi's voice landed, Lord Lan and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu beside him immediately understood, and strode forward and slapped Zhu Wen and Lei Hu a few times, and Zhu Wen's face instantly became red and swollen.

"Wu Zhi, you dare to resist the decree and torture you, you" Zhu Wen slapped him twice, and wanted to threaten Wu Zhi, but seeing Wu Zhi's indifferent expression, he swallowed his words again.

"After resisting your mother's size, you will suffer" Wu Zhi glanced at Zhu Wen in disgust, and then waved his hand and said: "Take it down and lock it up"

Immediately, a servant escorted Zhu Wen and the others down, and in the end, Lord Lan kicked the thunder tiger hard, he just saw that the thunder tiger was not pleasing to the eye.

"My lord, what should I do?"

Lord Lan and they all looked at Wu Zhi, and they knew that Wu Zhi must have a way.

And Wu Zhi's silence made them feel very bad.

"Then Zhu Wen has no reputation, why didn't the official family directly let us kill him" Qin Hui said angrily, he was also very unhappy with Zhu Wen's arrogance just now.

"Now it's not a question of whether to kill Zhu Wen or not, it's a question of how to bring the real murderer Zhu Mian to justice." Wu Zhi pondered for a moment, then turned back to the crowd: "Don't slack off, continue to sort out the file and prepare for the public trial." In addition, he secretly tortured Zhu Wen and a few others to see if he could pry something out of their mouths. ”

After explaining, Wu Zhi helped the black gauze hat and said, "I'll go into the palace to see Your Majesty."
