The eyes of all the officials were all on Sun Zhengren, the imperial historian.

Sun Zhengren coughed lightly, and then said: "The Queen Mother, Mingtang Wupin Dianwei Yuan Baohu, when she was running an errand in Qiantang, sneaked into a private house late at night, and wanted to plot against the concubine of a squire in the county, and was caught red-handed!" ”

"What!?"

"This ...... Impossible! ”

"Snort...... The Yuan family gave birth to a good son! ”

"This is slander, Yuan Baohu will never do such a ridiculous thing!"

"This Yuan Gongzi's hobby is really unique, with his identity, he can just ask for it directly, and he actually does such a thing."

……

"Silence, silence!" The chief eunuch shouted.

The officials were silent in an instant, but their eyes all looked at Qin Yuan and the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Hong.

Qin Yuan's face tightened and he didn't make a sound, which made people a little confused. In fact, the degree of shock in his heart at the moment did not have to be less than the officials present. He clearly knows that it is more important than anything else to stay calm at this time, and he must not mess with himself. calmed down a little, and he couldn't help but secretly complain about Qin Hanyu: This girl, such a big thing happened, and she didn't even reveal a word!

Yuan Hong's face turned red, his eyebrows raised, and he glared at Sun Zhengren angrily.

"Sun Qing, is there any evidence for this matter?" Empress Dowager Chongde asked slowly.

Sun Zhengren took out the prepared paper from his cuffs, presented it with both hands, and said, "The Queen Mother, Weichen has a statement as proof." ”

"Bring it in."

The eunuch hurriedly stepped down the steps, took the paper from Sun Zhengren's hand, turned around and bowed back to the curtain.

A jade-like hand stretched out from the curtain and took the paper.

After a while, the Queen Mother handed the paper to the eunuch again, and said, "Qin Qing's family, Yuan Baohu is from your Mingtang, take a look." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." Qin Yuan bowed, took the paper from the eunuch's hand with both hands, and looked at it seriously.

After a while, Qin Yuan bowed down again and handed the paper back.

Only then did the Empress Dowager Chongde ask: "Qin Qing's family, how is it?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother." Qin Yuan arched his hand and said, "There is no problem with this situation!" ”

The courtiers "hummed", followed by another round of exchanges. Yuan Hong, who was in the left-hand position, glared, pointed at Qin Yuan and said loudly: "Qin Shouzao, you-"

Qin Yuan glanced at him, and Yuan Hongsheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and didn't continue.

For Qin Yuan's answer, not only the courtiers were quite surprised, but even the Empress Dowager Chongde was a little surprised.

I saw that Qin Yuan was unhurried and continued: "This case is as sharp as a knife, the facts of the case are clearly stated, and the litigation claims are in accordance with the law, which is a good case." But the minister didn't understand, this complaint was obviously submitted to the Qiantang County Ya, and now even the Tingwei Mansion has not yet received the official document of Qiantang County about this case, I don't know how Sun Yushi's complaint came about? ”

There was no sound inside the curtain.

Sun Zhengren sneered: "Could it be that Qin Shouzuo has forgotten that the duty of the Imperial Historical Observatory is to correct the evil of hundreds of officials and correct the discipline of the imperial court?" ”

"Sun Yushi, I wonder if Qiantang County has already concluded the case of Yuan Baohu?" Qin Yuan continued to ask.

"This—there shouldn't be a closed case." Sun Zhengren's tongue was unnaturally knotted.

"Since the case has not been closed, it means that it is still inconclusive whether Yuan Baohu really committed a traitor. Dr. Sun, I don't know where the 'evil' comes from? You're a little anxious, aren't you? Qin Yuan stared at Sun Zhengren with both eyes.

"Well, the Imperial Observatory is also a precaution!" Sun Zhengren quibbled.

"I don't know whose 'evil' Sun Yushi wants to correct, what is the "outline"? Is Qiantang County ordering Yu Huawen to bend the law for personal gain? Or is Mingtang arrogant and arrogant subordinates doing nonsense? Or is it Yuan Shilang's murder? Qin Yuan pressed forward step by step, directly alluding to Sun Zhengren This is Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, which led the topic to the court situation.

"What does Qin Shouzao mean? Could it be that as soon as the people of Mingtang and the Yuan family are involved, Yushitai can't be asked? Sun Zhengren turned the topic to Yuan Baohu again.

Qin Yuan's words, Sun Zhengren heard a cold sweat on his back, he wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the Yuan family and Mingtang, but he didn't expect Qin Yuan to directly give him a salary.

The Empress Dowager Xuande heard clearly behind the curtain. She knew in her heart that someone over there finally couldn't hold her breath. Still, she didn't say anything.

When Yuan Hong saw Qin Yuan's words, he refuted Sun Zhengren's strong words, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart. His complexion gradually softened, and his hanging heart was half relieved. He knew that no matter what he said at this time, it would be considered out of selfishness, and not speaking was the best support for Qin Yuan. Thinking of this, he turned his face and glared at Sun Zhengren fiercely.

Sun Zhengren turned around and looked at Han Dongkui in the imperial history behind him.

Han Dongkui stepped in front of the hall, bowed inside the curtain and said: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, no matter whether Yuan Baohu is guilty or not, after all, he awarded the title of five-rank guard of the imperial court, and it is really inappropriate to let a local seven-rank county order try a five-grade official of the imperial court, and the law stipulates that if an official of the fifth rank and above commits a crime, he will be handed over to the Tingwei Mansion for trial." Therefore, the minister thought that Yuan Baohu should be sent to Beijing as soon as possible and tried by the Tingwei Mansion. ”

Qin Yuan's face was expressionless.

Whose power is the Tingwei of the Tingwei Mansion, Qin Yuan knows very well in his heart, once Yuan Baohu is handed over to the Tingwei Mansion, I am afraid that when the white one falls, it will also become black.

With Qin Yuan's understanding of Yuan Baohu, he would never do such a thing.

Although Yuan Baohu is usually a little proud, willful, and arrogant......

Of course, Qin Yuan decided that Yuan Baohu did not do this, not because he believed in his character, but because he had absolute trust in his daughter Qin Hanyu.

What kind of consequences this matter will have, Yuan Baohu may not be able to imagine, but Qin Hanyu must be able to see it clearly.

Since her daughter pressed down and did not report it, it must be that Yuan Baohu did not do it. Otherwise, with Qin Hanyu's temperament, he would have written to scold him a long time ago.

"Qin Qingjia, what do you think of Han Zhongcheng's words?" Seeing that Qin Yuan was silent for a long time, the Empress Dowager Chongde finally spoke.

Qin Yuan frowned slightly, and arched his hand towards the Empress Dowager Chongde: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, just now Han Zhongcheng mentioned that officials above the fifth grade should be handed over to the Tingwei Mansion for trial, but there is no evidence that Yuan Baohu has indeed violated the criminal law, so he cannot be regarded as an official who committed a crime, if he is transferred to the Tingwei Mansion at this time, Weichen thinks it is inappropriate." Moreover, the case had taken place in Qiantang for many days, and since the Qiantang County Ya had not applied for the transfer, it showed that the existing evidence in the case was insufficient to prove Yuan Baohu's guilt. If it is rashly handed over to the Tingwei Mansion, I am afraid that people's words will be terrible and there will be many complications. ”

Although Qin Yuan did not point out any branches in the end, the Empress Dowager Chongde was bright in her heart.

Sun Zhengren glanced at Qin Yuan and said, "Qin Shouza, since he is suspected of committing a crime, he should be treated as a suspect, and this is completely applicable to the law." Lü Buwei once said: If there is no way to govern the country, there will be chaos. The law of the Great Jin Dynasty has been established by Emperor Shizu since the founding of the country, and has been gradually perfected after a hundred years to this day, do you think that the Tingwei Mansion is not as good as a county government? ”

Qin Yuan turned his face and smiled slightly: "Sun Yushi's words are wrong, don't you know that Lu Buwei's next sentence is: Obeying the law is contrary to change?" Where the law is not in place, it can be adapted. We have perfected the law for hundreds of years, precisely because of the imperfection of the law. Compared with this case, even if Yuan Baohu is really suspected of violating the law, it is most appropriate for the case to be tried by the Qiantang County Ya. ”

"Besides, I have never felt that the Tingwei Mansion is inferior to the county government, and Sun Yushi Mo wants to impose his words. I once heard that Yu Huawen, the new county magistrate of Qiantang County, once served in Jiangyuan County, and was not afraid of power, punished the gentry, asked for the people's lives, and benefited one party. Before leaving, the local people sent each other for ten miles. is such a good official, I don't know what else Dr. Sun can't rest assured of. ”

If it weren't for his daughter being transferred to Qiantang County, Yu Huawen would not have been able to enter Qin Yuan's eyes. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, an investigation came in handy today.

"You ......" Sun Yushi's eyes widened, he was a dignified imperial historian, but Qin Yuan, who was born as a military general, was a little unreasonable!

Sun Zhengren glanced at the old man standing at the head of the seat and found that he was deaf to these arguments. So he withdrew his eyes and sneered: "I don't know what Qin Shouzao is afraid of in every way to obstruct the transfer of the case!" ”

"Each other, why is Sun Yushi bent on transferring the case to the Tingwei Mansion?" Qin Yuan arched his hand and responded without being salty.

"The two Qing families don't need to say any more." The voice of the Empress Dowager Chongde slowly came from above the court.

Qin Yuan and Sun Yushi hurriedly turned around and bowed behind the curtain.

"It is better that this case should be concluded as soon as possible, so as not to cause a lot of discussion among the people and damage the reputation of our Dajin officials. In my opinion, it will be tried on the spot in Qiantang County for a period of half a month, and after half a month, if Qiantang County is still unable to hear the case, it will not be too late to transfer it to the Tingwei Mansion. The majestic phoenix voice of the Empress Dowager Chongde came from behind the curtain.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Qin Yuan arched his hand.

Sun Zhengren raised his hand and sang, his eyes secretly looking at the old man.

The Queen Mother turned her face, looked directly at the old man, and asked lightly, "Xi Sikong, what do you think?" ”

The old man was expressionless, arched his hand, bowed slightly, and said: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, and the ministers will obey the decree." ”
