Chapter 479: Clear Stream (Second Shift)



On the way back to Kaifeng Mansion after leaving the palace, Wu Zhi got a copy of today's Bianjing Daily, and sure enough, the news detailing the case of the Sun family and the surrender of Zhu Wen and other accomplices became the headlines of today. "Co*Fun*Words*Love*First*Fa ()』

Although the news and public opinion raised all kinds of questions about Zhu Wen's surrender, they even speculated that he helped Zhu Mian take the blame. However, Wu Zhi heard from the carriage window that most of the street discussions were for his praise for the Kaifeng Mansion's case, and this time the Sun family's case was revealed, and more than a dozen people including the main culprit and accomplices behind the scenes were all arrested, and the people were already very satisfied.

Besides, although Zhu Mian is bad, he never dared to openly oppress the people in Bianjing, but Zhu Wen spent his days idle and drank all day long, and the people of Bianjing were disgusted with it.

All in all, after the truth of the Sun family case was made public this time, Wu Zhi's image in the hearts of the people rose to a new height, and he was already on par with the original Master Bao. Wu Zhi not only has a good policy for governing the country, but also has a strong ability to govern personal affairs, which are all profound qualifications for officials.

Returning to Kaifeng Mansion with a gloomy face, Wu Zhi didn't pay attention to anyone along the way, and walked straight into the signing room.

"Lord Lan, what about them," Wu Zhi asked Peng Shun, who had been following him carefully.

"The prisoners are still being interrogated in prison."

"Tell them to stop interrogating and call them all."

Wu Zhi pinched the bridge of his nose, a little tired.

"Yes."

Peng Shun cautiously retreated.

It didn't take long for Lord Lan and Qin Hui to enter the signing room.

"What's the matter, they didn't recruit Zhu Mian," Wu Zhi asked without any hope at all.

"No tricks." Lord Lan had a calm face, shook his head and said, "Except for Zhu Wen, I have put soldering irons on the rest of Lei Hu and others, but they haven't changed their words yet, it's really hard enough."

"It's not that they're hard." Wu Zhi shook his head and sneered: "It is precisely because they are greedy for life and afraid of death, so they dare not recruit, Lei Hu They are one of the main culprits, and they have committed many crimes, if Zhu Mian is recruited and no one intercedes in front of His Majesty, these people will be killed." Now with Zhu Mian behind them, they can save their lives. ”

"My lord, is it just like that" Qin Hui said unwillingly.

Wu Zhi didn't answer him, but then asked, "Did Zhu Wen put a red soldering iron on him?"

"This," Lan was stunned for a moment, and said, "I haven't put on the soldering iron yet, but I'm covered in blood with a leather whip." ”

The emperor had a clear edict that torture was not allowed, and it was already rare for Wu Zhi to let them use it privately, so in order to prevent the Zhu family from discovering that it was difficult for Wu Zhi to sue Wu Zhi, Lord Lan did not torture Zhu Wen too extremely.

"He didn't let go," Wu Sik asked.

"Nope."

"This guy seems to already know what is going on."

Wu Zhi groaned, Zhu Wen obviously knew that once he relented, the Zhu family would be finished.

"My lord, do you want me to put a soldering iron on him, this kid is a rich kid after all, and he will definitely not be able to bear it if he puts on a soldering iron," Lord Lan said fiercely.

"No need, even if he recruits Zhu Mian, Zhu Mian will say that we are bent into a move, which is not good for the case."

Wu Zhi shook his head and fell silent.

Zhu Mian's trick was high because he only replaced himself, and he handed over all the other people involved in the case, in fact, Zhu Mian had already withdrawn from the time Zhu Wen admitted to Zhao Ji that he was the murderer. If you want to pull Zhu Mian into the water, the most important thing is for Zhao Ji to believe that Zhu Mian is the real murderer.

Even if Zhao Ji has a little doubt or uncertainty about Zhu Mian, Zhu Mian will be finished.

And Zhao Ji's side Wu Zhi has already gone to the test, Zhao Ji is convinced of Zhu Mian, and Wu Zhi can't insist on his own opinion to persuade Zhao Ji, that will backfire, and he will be estranged from Zhao Ji.

Now the only way to rectify Zhu Mian is to put pressure on Zhao Ji, although Wu Zhi can't put pressure on Zhao Ji, but someone can put pressure on Zhao Ji, these people are the court officials and decent ministers, as long as they realize that Zhu Mian is suspected of making Zhu Wen guilty, and then keep writing to force Zhao Ji to punish him, they may be able to bring down Zhu Mian.

Since ancient times, the court officials and ministers have often been able to force the emperor to do something unwillingly, not to mention far, just say that Zhao Ji's father Song Shenzong, when he appointed Wang Anshi to change the law, how much he trusted Wang Anshi, and even treated Wang Anshi as a disciple.

But later, it was not forced by the tide of countless ministers to take Wang Anshi's phase.

However, Wu Zhi also knew that this time was different from the past, and the emperor Zhao Ji was used to being willful, and he might not be willing to listen to the advice of officials. And now this court can't find a few officials who dare to speak up and persuade desperately.

"Hey"

Just when Wu Zhi was full of melancholy, Song Gong knocked on the door and entered the signing room.

"My lord, Uncle Murong Guo and a group of officials came to Kaifeng Mansion to ask to see you, and now they are waiting in the inner hall."

"Brother is here."

Hearing Brother Murong's name, Wu Zhi felt a little more relaxed, and he didn't delay, and after instructing Lord Lan and Qin Hui to go to the inner hall in a hurry.

"What kind of officials are you with Uncle Guo" On the way, Wu Zhi asked Song Gong beside him.

"In addition to Uncle Guo, they are all Taiwanese advisers, as well as a few chief attendants, and their younger brothers are also among them." Song Gong replied.

"Your younger brother" Wu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "It's Song Cheng from the Yushitai."

This Song Cheng is the official who Wu Zhi came to Bianjing to stand with Wu Zhi, and he also helped Wu Zhi when Wu Zhi was humiliated, Song Cheng is Song Gong's younger brother, the two are half-siblings, Song Cheng was born to his mother, Song Gong was born to a concubine, and Song Cheng's status in the family is higher than Song Gong.

However, the brothers have close personalities and are very upright, so the relationship is also very good, after the two brothers entered the officialdom in the same year, Song Cheng has been serving as a Xiaojing official in Bianjing, and Song Gong has been serving as a punishment in other places, so after Song Gong was transferred to Kaifeng Mansion, few people knew that he and Song Cheng of Yushitai were brothers.

Wu Zhi knew.

Song Cheng was one of the few Qingliu in the imperial court with a clean background and an upright official, and he followed Murong Yanda to Wuzhi, which made Wuzhi a little moved.

"You come in with me, too."

When he arrived at the door of the inner hall, Wu Zhi said a word to Song Gong who wanted to turn around and leave, Song Gong was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he firmly followed Wu Zhi into the inner hall.

"Meet Uncle Guo"

After entering the inner hall, Wu Zhi saw that the seats on both sides were full of officials, so he bowed to Brother Murong according to etiquette.

"Eh, Wu Zhi, you don't have to be polite, we all came to see you in private, and these adults are not outsiders." Murong Yanda hurriedly helped Wu Zhi up.

Wu Zhi looked around, these officials, including Song Cheng, Wu Zhi knew them, including Tang Geng, the imperial historian of the Imperial History Terrace, Li Gang, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Wen Tang and Song Cheng, and several imperial historians of various ministries, although these people have different official positions, they all have the same characteristics, that is, they are all clear streams of the imperial court

No wonder Murong Yanda said that he was not an outsider, these Qingliu officials came to find Wu Zhi with Murong Yanda, I am afraid that there is something important
