In the face of Mu Tong's resolute methods, how could a group of suspects who were full of heart and courage still maintain their composure, and they rushed to confess one after another.

At first, the people who thought that Mu Tong, a young man, was acting nonsense, were stunned and dumbfounded.

Everyone thought that Mu Tong was an excuse to find trouble, and even Lu Gui, who was detained in the hall to watch him "mess around", felt that Mu Tong was dead this time.

But I didn't expect that the other party really came to handle the case, and it was really not nonsense, but there was really a shocking case in it.

A group of more than a dozen criminals who were bribed to steal the secrets of the scientific expedition by various means knelt in front of them, so how could Lu Gui still be calm!

This is above the court, and I can't protect my black yarn!

However, he thought about it too much, how could he not protect it, since his words to punish the nine clans of the Mu family came out, Mu Tong sentenced him to death in his heart.

"Bring someone to commit Lu Gui!"

Mu Tong's voice offended Lu Gui, and directly made the mansion Yin Lu Gui trapped. Not to mention Lu Gui himself, Zhang Cong was dumbfounded.

What kind of trouble is this young monarch making trouble? Lu Fu Yin is already so embarrassed, and you still don't let him go. And people are dignified from the third grade, and you judge others as prisoners, which is a bit excessive.

Not to mention Zhang Cong, as soon as Lu Gui heard Mu Tong sway him, how could he agree, struggled desperately to get up, and scolded.

"Okay, you're an ignorant child! This official is the Yin of Wangcheng Mansion, from the official position of Sanpin! Don't say that this official has not committed a crime, even if he commits a crime, he has to play the court of the three provinces, and His Majesty can only interrogate me by decree, you are a yellow-mouthed child, how can He De dare to try me!"

Mu Shaojun was not angry in the face of Lu Gui's insults, but calmly pulled out a letter from a pile of stolen goods and said to Lu Gui indifferently.

"Lu Gui, it's not up to you to judge whether this young gentleman will judge you or not. Since this official dares to interrogate you, he naturally has reasons to interrogate you. You know it. ”

Mu Shaojun's indifference was in Lu Gui's eyes, but he was regarded by the other party as a sign that he was going to retreat and find the bottom of the steps, so Lu Gui ignored him at all, didn't even look at it, and directly said that he didn't know.

At this time, Zhang Cong on the side felt that there was a problem. Because in the lower left corner of the envelope, there was a letter from his Lu Guiwang Chengfu Yin! He actually said that he didn't know!

"Okay, the evidence is now, you still have to open your eyes and talk nonsense, okay. It seems that you are a dead duck with a hard mouth, this Shaojun will see if you have a hard mouth or my Mohai Kingdom's laws are hard! Come on, take off Lu Gui's black gauze hat, take off your official body, and hit the twenty boards hard, see if he moves or not!"

"Whoa!"

No one hesitated this time.

Because they all know where the pile of things on the table came from, and they were all found from the group of suspects who surrounded Mufu.

A suspect has a secret letter from Lord Fu Yin on his body, if you admit that you let your subordinates bring it, maybe your subordinates were really killed by mistake by passing by, and for the sake of being an official in the same dynasty, maybe Lord Shaojun will not embarrass you. But you said that you don't know the origin of this letter, which is debatable, unless, you Lu Gui have a ghost in your heart!

"Dare to lynch this official? Without Your Majesty's will, you dare to order the removal of your official's black yarn! You are Tan Yue! I will sue you in front of Your Majesty!"

"Shut up! The bold suspect Lu Gui, you are fornicating with thieves, using secret letters to secretly communicate with money, stealing the distribution map of the examination room and test questions of the scientific examination, what do you want!

Mu Tong was shocked and directly pointed out Lu Gui's crime.

Lu Gui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his face changed, and then he pointed at Mu Tong in the hall and laughed wildly.

"Hahaha! You are a son of the Mu family, and you have no excuse for the crime you want to add! You dare to slander your official with such a ridiculous excuse! You have come up with evidence!"

"Smack!"

"Okay! Ben Shaojun will let you die to understand! Come on, open this secret letter and see what is written inside! Ben Shaojun is also very curious, why did you not only indulge the thugs to besiege Ben Shaojun's mansion, but also colluded with thieves to steal the secrets of the scientific examination, what secrets are behind this!"

Zhang Cong saw the envelope that Shaojun swept to the bottom of the hall, and immediately stepped forward to pick it up, and showed the prisoner Lu Gui that the lacquer and ink on it were still intact, and it was still an unopened secret letter. It's just that the dazzling seal on the envelope made Lu Gui's eyes shrink, and he began to panic.

The seal on this envelope is his!

"No! No! This is fake! You yellow-mouthed boy actually dare to frame the officials of the current court! You know that this is a capital crime!"

"Hmph! You are the capital crime! Commander Zhang, let Baixin see the authenticity of the letter, and then open it, lest Lord Lu really say that we framed him. ”

Zhang Cong immediately put his hands up, pinched the upper and lower corners of the envelope and held it flat in front of his chest, and walked around in front of the onlookers, only then did he open the envelope and take out two pieces of stationery full of contents from it.

At that moment, he did not hesitate, and directly unfolded the letter and read it aloud in the hall, but the more he read it, the quieter his voice became, and in the end, he directly folded the letter and took back the envelope, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and looking at the young gentleman in the hall.

"My lord, if what is said in the letter is true, this case should not be tried by your lordship, but should be reported to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will order the three divisions to be tried!

As soon as Zhang Cong's voice fell, the people who had thought that something was wrong suddenly dispersed, and if they didn't run, they would be arrested, after all, such a secret matter was not something that their people should know.

However, the forbidden army, which had been prepared for a long time, directly unsheathed and surrounded this group of people.

"Stop! If you dare to escape, you will be killed. ”

Zhang Cong directly gave an order, blocking the chaotic people back, not to mention their pleas for mercy.

"Commander Zhang, stop! Don't embarrass the people! This matter is not so serious. Since this young gentleman is here, he will definitely investigate this case, but you people still ask to be here quietly to testify. The official promised that after the official finished handling this case, he would let you go home, and don't worry that the forbidden army will embarrass you. ”

Hearing the assurances of the young official who tried the case, the people felt a little relieved, and restarted the onlooker mode, but they were somewhat absent-minded.

After pacifying the people, Mu Shaojun sat upright in the hall again, looking at Lu Gui who looked frightened and wanted to refute below, but he no longer gave him a chance to refute.

"Lu Gui! This letter was found from a thief who surrounded Ben Shaojun's mansion, you said that Ben Shaojun framed you, the thief was killed by the forbidden army, and the blueprints stolen by the letter and Ben Shaojun were also searched by the forbidden army. And the forbidden army only reported to Ben Shaojun today, so don't use Ben Shaojun's excuse to frame you to get away with it. Ben Shaojun doesn't have that much ability to buy off more than a hundred forbidden soldiers to frame you with me. ”

"You have also heard the content of the letter, and this official has heard it for the first time, although I don't know what is written behind it that makes Commander Zhang so taboo and avoid talking about it. But the preceding content is enough to condemn you. The official thought that you were just stealing the secrets of the scientific expedition, intending to use these things for money. But Ben Shaojun never expected that you would dare to collude with the family of the Holy Martial Kingdom in an attempt to sabotage this scientific expedition. This is a great crime of treason, and you can't argue with it. Don't worry, I originally planned to kill you with a sword to correct the law, but in this case, since you are related to treason, in order to block the mouths of the people, saying that I have framed you because of personal vendetta, this official will now dismiss you from your official position, put you in a prison car, and be escorted by the forbidden army to the royal car for trial. Can you take it?"

Lu Guina was already lying on the ground waiting to be tortured. At this time, when he heard Mu Tong's creation out of nothing, he firmly believed that the other party was framing him, because he really did not commit treason. How to recognize what you haven't done!

"I don't accept it! You have no right to touch me, you are abusing lynching! You are not a son of man!"

"Hmph! Ben Shaojun doesn't have a verbal dispute with you. ”

Faced with Lu Gui's dying struggle, he Mu Tong directly slapped the shocked wood and directly read out the verdict.

"Well, there is a mortal Lu Gui, as a third-grade official of the imperial court, Wang Chengfu Yin, who does not want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but takes advantage of his position to collude with foreign enemies, intending to sabotage the spring of our Mohai Kingdom this year, and everyone has obtained stolen goods, and the evidence is conclusive. However, he did not repent and refused to confess his sins. Today, he will be stripped of his official body, punished with a cane of twenty rods, and handed over to the forbidden army to escort him into the palace and handed over to His Majesty for personal trial!

Mu Tong gave an order, and the forbidden army, who had long been preparing for execution, forked Lu Gui, holding the board high and starting to fight.

"Smack!"

"Ahh

The crackling sound of the board to the flesh, and Lu Gui's screams of unbearable pain.

"Mu family child, you are so reckless and reckless, framing the court officials, you will not die well!"

Mu Tong stood up directly, walked down from the hall, paced in front of him, and looked at him coldly.

"Little Aoko!"

Mu Tong snorted coldly, and Mo Qing in the back hall came directly.

"Young master, are you calling me?"

"Give me the sword and the decree. ”

Mo Qing answered, and directly handed the sword he was holding and the holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago to Mu Tong.

Mu Tong had a holy decree in one hand and a sword in the other, looked down at Lu Gui, who was screaming miserably, and read it out loud to him.

"Lu Gui, I'll let you die today. This is the holy decree of His Majesty, and when I am appointed as the chief examiner of the scientific examination, it is related to the major matters of the imperial examination, and I can do it cheaply. Originally, the official saw that you were talking wildly, and stole the secrets of the scientific expedition, and wanted to kill you. But you are guilty of treason, and I am not the only one who can be convicted. Therefore I deprive you of your official position as an example. As for your life and death, your majesty will decide! Hmph, this official is acting according to orders, don't say that taking away your official body, even if you are cut off with a sword now, I will also take care of it. Are you convinced!"

"No! No way! You forged the holy decree, you are deceiving the king!"

Zhang Cong looked at Lu Gui, who was already a little crazy, and looked at the young young man in front of him, no wonder His Majesty valued him so much.

A big case of treason was actually reduced by this big thing that cut through the mess with a quick knife?

There is more to the letter than has just been read. It's definitely not something that the young man in front of him can frame.

It turned out that this commander Zhang also thought that this young monarch wanted to frame Lu Gui and announce his personal vendetta, but now it seems that there is a headache for him Zhang Cong. If the content of this letter was leaked, the court would be shocked.

The rest of the matter is a logical step-by-step process. Mu Tong didn't bother either.

He commanded the forbidden army to release the people who were watching, and he also stood before them to apologize to them, saying that they should not say much about the things of today's letter.

After seeing the posture of the forbidden army and Lu Gui's tragic situation, these people naturally promised again and again that they would never chew their tongues.

"Commander Zhang, I'm sorry for you to go. Escort this Lu Gui back to the palace. As for the others, leave 50 people to investigate and deal with the Lu Mansion, take all of them into custody, seal up the Lu Mansion, and wait for His Majesty to send someone to take over. If you escort a prisoner, you can bring 30 escorts with you, so you don't have an accident. Leave twenty people to guard Ben Shaojun and stay in the tribute courtyard. ”

At that moment, one hundred forbidden soldiers divided into three routes and left the Wangcheng Mansion.

Looking at the departing forbidden army and Mu Tong, Liu Sanzhang, who had escaped, wiped the cold sweat on his head, thinking that it was still inappropriate. Hurry home and pack up and slip away, this Lu Gui will definitely be unlucky, even if the treason is not successful, but he can't escape the guilt of indulging the examinee's mansion for indulging the examiner's mansion, not to mention that his usual deeds are enough for him to lose his head.

If you don't leave at this time, will you wait for Lu Gui to affect yourself?

However, it was said that the trouble of the Wangcheng Mansion fell into the eyes of people with a heart.

Except for those unlucky unlucky people who were detained in the mansion, the other eyeliners reported the situation to their masters as soon as possible, and for a while, the upper echelons of the royal capital were panicked. After all, if that secret letter is true, Lu Gui is not the only one who is unlucky!

In the palace, the king Mo Wenxuan, who received the urgent news, threw down the beauty in his arms, and hurriedly convened a court meeting, but in half an hour, this Jinluan Palace was once again full of Manchu civil and military affairs.

Mo Wenxuan sat on top of the main hall with a gloomy face, looking down at the hundreds of officials with different faces below.

"Ladies and gentlemen, an hour ago, I received a shocking piece of news. My Wangcheng Mansion Yin actually colluded with foreign enemies to sabotage the imperial examination. It's a bastard to the extreme! Is it in vain that he has read this book in vain? Why did he, Lu Gui, take my Mohai's Yulu and be an official of my Mohai, but he turned his elbow outward and colluded with foreign enemies to harm his own country! Ah! You tell me! Why is this? Is it because I am not generous enough to you? Or is it because I have detained your money? You say!

The more Mo Wenxuan spoke, the more angry he became, and he directly waved his hand and threw a secret letter directly on the ground.

"Wei Aiqing, you are the prime minister of the dynasty, you take a look first, you see, you see what this bastard has done! How dare he! Who gave him the guts! In his eyes, there are still people, and I, and Mohaiguo!"

Since Mo Wenxuan had an order, the eunuch who was accompanying him stepped forward to pick up the secret letter submitted by Zhang Cong on the ground and handed it to His Royal Highness's old prime minister Wei Yan.

As soon as the secret letter was in his hand, looking at the conspicuous seal on it, Wei Yan first rubbed the mark on it with his hand, and found that it was indeed official ink.

You must know that the seal is divided into official seals and private seals, and the ink used is different.

Ordinary people can't get the official ink used for the official seal, and this is also for some people to privately create official seals and forge official seals, and this kind of thing is not unprecedented. Therefore, the birth of Guanmo is very necessary.

The seal on the letter is Lu Gui's private seal, but the ink is official ink. This can't be faked, just this point, Lu Gui already has doubts.

With doubts in his heart, Wei Yan was naturally interested in the content of the letter, and he wanted to see what could make Mo Wenxuan's labor force mobilize the crowd to convene the court meeting again.

It's just that when he looked at two pieces of stationery that were as light as a feather, the more he looked at them, the more he felt that the two pieces of letter paper in his hand were as heavy as a thousand pounds.

His hands trembled, and his whole person trembled, if it weren't for the eunuch who saw the opportunity and quickly helped him, he was afraid that he would have fallen.

"How can this be reasonable! How can this be reasonable! Lu Gui is not a son of man! Not a son of man! How dare he be so kingless and fatherless! Where is Lu Gui! The old man wants to strangle to death this traitor who seeks glory for the country and collaborates with the enemy!"

Wei Yan, who was supported by the eunuch who was close to him, was so angry that he trembled and scolded!

Seeing that the old prime minister disregarded his image so much, he changed his previous appearance of being pampered and not shocked, and cursed Lu Gui with gritted teeth, and he wanted to drink his blood and eat his flesh.

Immediately, several Shangshu glanced at each other, and directly stepped forward to see the letter in the old prime minister's hand, and read it together.

Looking at the first letter in front of them, it was okay, although they were angry, but they could still keep their composure. But when the second letter paper was spread out, the faces of the onlookers from the Criminal Department, the Household Department, the Officials' Department, the Ministry of Rites, the Military Department, and the Ministry of Industry all changed their faces and trembled!

They couldn't believe it, if the things in the letter were true, and they were really leaked by Lu Gui, wouldn't Mo Hai be ......

"Your Majesty, the stakes are very high, please send someone to interrogate Lu Gui immediately! lest you have too many dreams at night! If what is said in the letter is true, it must be urgent! If you don't find out his henchmen, I won't be at peace!"

The six Shangshu can't care about intrigue at this time. It doesn't matter what faction you have, if the things in the letter are true, Mohai will be ruined, and they are still fighting for what they are courtiers!

So the six of them unanimously asked for a strict investigation of the matter.

Mo Wenxuan squinted, looking at the six Shangshu below who had never been so united, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

If they work together so hard to govern the country and secure the country, why should they worry that Mohai will not dominate the world.

And now, they are simply doing it for their benefit......

That's it, anyway, their interests are also the interests of the Mohai royal family.

Now is not the time to worry about that.

"Proposed purpose: to appoint the six Shangshu to jointly serve as the presiding judge, and to examine the case of treason against the rebel minister Lu Gui. Because the facts of the case are too serious, all those in the know should not easily divulge it. If there is a result, it will be submitted to Yu I and the old prime minister Wei Yan immediately. If there is any obstruction in the investigation of the case, it will be dealt with according to Lu Gui's henchmen!
