Chapter 100: Your Majesty
Compared with Zhanzhao who felt guilty, Bao Zheng was more worried, yesterday's thief had not passed, and now important witnesses were quietly killed, which completely expressed the ineffectiveness of Shuntianfu, as soon as he thought of the crusade of some officials in the court tomorrow, Bao Zheng felt dizzy and exhausted.

The next day, above the court, as Bao Zheng expected, in the case of a series of major mistakes in the Shuntian Mansion, some ministers impatiently stood up to denounce Bao Zheng, trying to take the opportunity to attack Bao Zheng and strive for greater benefits for themselves; Although Bao Zheng explained in detail, he also gave the coroner's report in public; However, this is his dereliction of duty after all, so although there is a reason, it is still difficult to blame.
Just when Bao Zheng was worried, the emperor's sudden edict deeply sank Bao Zheng's already uneasy heart to the bottom.
"From now on, Chen Shimei's case will not be allowed to investigate new evidence, and the case will be decided as soon as possible according to the current evidence!"
Although the emperor only said a few words, the news revealed was shocking, Bao Zheng looked at the expressionless saint on the dragon chair in a daze, I don't know what His Majesty means by this, and how should he solve Chen Shimei's case.
In the subsequent court meeting, Bao Zheng was at a loss, thinking about what he should do next; After the court meeting, Bao Zheng walked out of the court in despair, and the ministers, who had been at odds with him, deliberately walked in front of him with their heads held high. Otherwise, isn't it a joke that the trial of the case will not allow the investigation of evidence?
Bao Zheng slowly walked out under the mocking gaze of the enemies, and just as he walked down the spacious steps, a small eunuch suddenly stood in front of him.
"Lord Bao, the emperor has summoned you, who do you invite me to come!" After the little eunuch finished speaking, he gestured to the side, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Bao Zheng's eyes, and he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and hurriedly followed.
.....
Following the little eunuch, Bao Zheng came to a garden full of flowers, and saw the current saint in the pavilion of the garden!
"Weichen Bao Zheng meets the emperor!"
"Bao Aiqing is here, give me a seat!" The emperor said mildly.
"Emperor Xie!" After Bao Zheng thanked him, he sat opposite the emperor, looked down at the tea leaves in the cup and slowly turned, without saying a word, waiting for the emperor to speak first.
"Bao Aiqing is complaining that I am deliberately embarrassed and unreasonable in the court!" The emperor smiled.
"Weichen doesn't dare, the emperor's move must have a deep meaning, but Bao Zheng is stupid and fails to understand, and please blame the saint!" Bao Zheng said humbly.
"Haha, you still said that you didn't complain about me, your tone is full of dissatisfaction," the emperor laughed a few times, took a sip of the teacup, and when he put the teacup down again, the smile on his face had disappeared.
"Bao Zheng, I remember that when I was hand-picking you, I asked you a question, if you are an official, what should you do, do you remember how you answered me?" The emperor's eyes are like a pool of water, bottomless.
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is an official, and he must love and protect the people, reward the good and punish the evil, eliminate harm for the people, and be fair and selfless!" Bao Zheng replied.
"And you've always done that?"
"Yes, Wechen has always adhered to it like this!"
"Fart!" The queen suddenly said angrily, and the little eunuchs and maids who were serving around her fell to the ground in fright, trembling; "Bao Zheng, if you have always adhered to your original intention, then how could there be a massacre of the village and the fact that the witness was killed, haven't you woken up now?"
"Your Majesty, these are not the actions of Wei Chen, but the thief, Wei Chen didn't expect that the other party would lose his conscience so much!" In the face of the emperor's thunderous rage, Bao Zheng was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and defended himself.
"Unexpectedly, hum, Bao Zheng has been an official for nearly 20 years, and I think this official position has also corrupted you!" The emperor snorted coldly, a cold light crossed his eyes, "I ask you, is it important for the people or to solve the case!" ”
"Back to the emperor, of course the people are important!" Bao Zheng replied without hesitation, this is the first criterion for him to be an official.
"You're not too confused, I'll ask you again, if Chen Shimei's case continues to be investigated, will you continue to die?" The emperor asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Bao Zheng thought about it for a while, and now he has been dead for more than a thousand, and if he continues to check this trend, there will definitely be accidents.
"Now you understand why I didn't let you investigate new evidence!" The emperor's anger suddenly dissipated, and he calmed down.
"The emperor is to avoid further deaths and injuries of innocent people, the saint is kind-hearted, loves the people like a son, and is admired by the ministers; But if this is done, Chen Shimei's case will not be closed according to the current evidence, and if he can be a concubine, there must be someone behind him, does the emperor want to let go of this gang of criminals? After the emperor said his deep meaning, Bao Zheng understood that the emperor was not preparing to punish himself, so he was relieved a lot, and raised his own questions, preparing to take this opportunity to probe the emperor's tone and see what the emperor meant.
"Chen Shimei has someone behind him to help, of course I know, but now this case has caused a lot of trouble in the city, and even killed and injured many innocent people, those are my people, I really can't bear it; In order to avoid more innocent people from sacrificing, I will work hard to cover you, I believe that you will be able to decide the case according to the current case, as for those officials who committed crimes, I will find a way to deal with them later! The emperor looked at Bao Zheng gently, and kindly helped Bao Zheng up, which made Bao Zheng very flattered, and really responded to that sentence, thunder, rain and dew are all holy graces.
After Bao Zheng was grateful, he swore that he would definitely close Chen Shimei's case as soon as possible, and in the following time, Bao Zheng had the honor to talk with the emperor, and this scene was also spread outside the palace in various ways, announcing that Bao Zheng was not left out but more favored.
After Bao Zheng left, the emperor waved away all the people around, and he was the only one left in the garden, quietly infiltrating.
"Are you done?" The emperor suddenly said gloomily.
"Back to the emperor, everything is done, Chen Shimei's county is located because of greed for women, he died of desire, and the county database was accidentally destroyed by fire, and the news should reach the capital tomorrow!" The black shadow appeared out of thin air again.
"Okay, now I have to take a good look at what kind of performance my sons will have!" The emperor looked up at the empty sky expressionlessly, and fell into deep thought.
