"Grass people Deng Ziyue knocks to see the little prince!"

Just when the officials were in a daze, they saw that a middle-aged man who was also dressed in the clothes of the palace guards was sandwiched between several palace guards behind Li Minxing, suddenly his legs and feet weakened, he fell to the ground suddenly, kowtowed and reported to his home.

As soon as Deng Ziyue came out like this, the officials who were originally whispering and discussing were suddenly dumbfounded, and looked at the scene in front of them one by one, stunned to understand how this guy ran out, in fact, to put it bluntly, this is really not entirely the credit of Hongqing alone, but the result of the joint efforts of several parties - Hongqing has long ordered the Henan rudder of the "sharp knife" and the "Qilin Firm" branch to collect Chen Minxin's criminal evidence, but unfortunately it is limited to time, and the effect is not great. Hongqing himself didn't have much hope, so he just gave it a try, but he didn't expect that Henan Governor Rong Zhu had already regarded Chen Minxin as a natural scapegoat in order to protect himself, and as soon as the Yellow River collapsed, Rong Zhu had already secretly moved, and privately collected a lot of Chen Minxin's incriminating evidence, just waiting for Ying Jing'er to come in handy, and as soon as the third master arrived in Luoyang City, Rong Zhu didn't say a word, so he sent Chen Minxin as a big gift, and it happened that the guards sent by Hongqing to supervise the collection of incriminating evidence also arrived in Luoyang City. As soon as the third master and Li Minquan combined, they hurriedly sent Deng Ziyue to Hongqing, and halfway through the convergence with the officials of the two ministries of work and household who came to Jining City, no one could detect that Deng Ziyue, a key figure, had quietly fallen into Hongqing's hands.

"Raise your head!"

Hongqing ignored the suspicion and surprise of the officials below, coldly glanced at Deng Ziyue, who kept kowtowing, and snorted with a solemn expression.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Deng Ziyue is also a long-sleeved and good dancer in Luoyang City, relying on his rich family wealth, but he has not been less in the officialdom to drill the camp, the official has seen many young and old, and the lawsuit has also been fought, but to say that the current public court of this scale is the first time to encounter, even if he is not small, and he has the promise given by Hongqing in advance, but when he really got to the lobby, he was still scared like earth, and when Hongqing drank like this, his body suddenly trembled like chaff, and his mouth responded indiscriminately, and his body straightened up crookedly.

"Deng Ziyue, you can see clearly, which one in the hall is Chen Minxin, say!"

Hongqing grabbed the startling wood, slapped it heavily, and broke his throat with a fierce voice.

"That's him!"

Deng Ziyue's body trembled and turned his head to look around, and his eyes soon fell on Chen Minxin, who was kneeling not far from him, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pointed at Chen Minxin and howled.

"Very good, say, how did you and Chen Minxin meet, and how did you collude, huh?"

Hongqing seemed to be very satisfied with Deng Ziyue's performance, and her solemn expression immediately eased slightly, and her tone was a little calm.

"Back to the words of the little prince, the small business is dedicated to the business of bricks, stones, and timber, and the river has always been closely linked, every year the business is not small, these more than ten years have also been done in accordance with the rules, but never thought that since the year Chen came, everything has changed, no matter what level of material the small one sent, to the Chen people, all were beaten back, the small helpless, had to find someone to dredge, and then through the guidance of people, I was able to see Lord Chen, just the first time to meet the gift, the small one gave a thousand taels of silver, Later, it was sent a few times one after another, all of which were not less than a thousand taels, just like that, the small business went a lot smoother, and I thought that this hurdle was almost over, but I never thought that on the seventh day of the ninth month of the year, Lord Chen sent someone to call the small one to the 'Chunjiang Building', saying that there was something important to discuss, and the small one didn't think much about it, so he went, but he didn't expect to know that Lord Chen actually proposed to send some residual stones to the river construction site to the small one......"

Deng Ziyue's handle was taken, and he had already been tamed, and at this time, for the sake of his own life, he didn't dare to make any mistakes, and answered Hongqing's question honestly, but this guy was broken, and it was not over when he said it, and finally got to the point, and as he was talking, Chen Minxin, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly knelt straight, and the fierceness of the action suddenly made Deng Ziyue startled, and he stopped halfway through his words.

"Bloody mouth, this is a frame, little prince, the lower officials are not convinced, the lower officials have never seen this guy, I really don't know where it comes from, although the lower official position is humble, but it is also an official of the imperial court, how can it allow such a subordinate to be framed in the court, the heart of the lower official's fist can show the sun and the moon, and please ask the little prince to be the master of the lower official!"

When people reach a desperate situation, they often either collapse or erupt, obviously, Chen Minxin is the latter, this Huo Ran knelt straight, and his mouth was full of passionate and generous words, full of righteous indignation, and he really looked a little wronged.

"Shut up, Ben Beizi didn't ask you!"

Although Chen Minxin's performance was good at singing and writing, Hongqing was not interested at all, his eyes squinted, and he unceremoniously drank it, and then, regardless of Chen Minxin's expression, he turned his head to look at Deng Ziyue, who was a little frightened, and said in a warm tone: "Shopkeeper Deng, you go on, don't be afraid, everything has its own Beizi for you." ”

"Ah, yes, the small one obeys the order, the small one hears that Lord Chen wants the small one to be shoddy, he doesn't dare to obey the order, and explains in every way, but Lord Chen just doesn't listen, insists on going his own way, and threatens the small one, saying that if he doesn't obey the order, the business behind him will not want to do it again, and the small one will rely on the river to make a living, if the business is broken, the small one will have no way to live, and in desperation, he has to start from September 12 last year, to February this year, the small one has sent a total of fourteen times to the river construction site, all of which are defective goods. A total of 98,223 taels of silver, Lord Chen took 40,000 taels, the small income deducted the cost, and only got 3,000 taels, the small one did not dare to deceive the little prince, what he said was true, there was no lie, the small one could swear to the sky! ”

Deng Ziyue had already made up his mind to pit Chen Minxin, but at this time, Hongqing's concerns, how serious he was, a large number of confessions were vividly spoken, regardless of whether it was true or not, this basin was already firmly buttoned on Chen Minxin's head.

"Smack!"

As soon as Deng Ziyue's voice fell, Hongqing had already grabbed the shocking wood, slapped it heavily, glared at Chen Minxin with cold eyes, and said with enough energy: "Bold Chen Minxin, dare to shoddy, indiscriminately build the river embankment, so that it will collapse, leaving disaster to all the people, you can be convicted!" ”

"The lower official is not convinced, the lower official is not guilty, the lower official is framed by this person, the words of the chaotic people are not credible, the lower official is not convinced, and the lower official is not convinced, not convinced!"

The charge given by Hongqing is too big, and it is easy to destroy the nine clans, and Chen Minxin refuses to admit that he will come down even if he dies.

"Framed? Master Chen said before, I don't recognize Shopkeeper Deng, right? ”

Chen Minxin shouted very loudly, but unfortunately Hongqing was unmoved at all, only smiled gloomily and asked slowly.

"Yes, the lower officials really don't know who these inferior people are, and I don't know why they bite the lower officials like mad dogs, there must be something strange in them, and please ask the little prince to see clearly, and return the lower officials to an innocence!"

As soon as he heard Hongqing's question, Chen Minxin understood that his previous response was wrong, but in the current situation, he couldn't change his words, so he could only insist on the previous theory, denying that he had anything to do with Deng Ziyue, not only that, but also interrogated Hongqing with implication.

"Hey, that's a nice thing to say, okay, someone will bring Chen Minxin's attaché to Ben Beizi to the court!"

Hongqing is not afraid of being arrogant, there is no other, others are horizontal, Hongqing is even more horizontal, and he didn't talk to Chen Minxin anymore, he slapped the stunned wood again, and said loudly.

"Wow!"

Under Hongqing's order, Li Minxing and the others who were waiting on the side did not dare to slack off, and responded in unison, rushing down to the hall, and after a short time, all the attachés of Nanhe Dao, who had gathered outside the yamen, were detained in the lobby.

"Whoever kneels in the hall, report your name!"

The attaché of Nanhe Road is not small, and the escort officer, including the master, there are more than a dozen people, this kneeling in front of the hall, Shengsheng occupied the entire center of the hall, and it was crowded, but Hongqing didn't care, looked around at all the people who didn't know why, and asked in a cold voice.

"Xiaguan Nanhe Road Governor Lu Shun!"

"Little Zhou Qiming, Xi is the master."

"The small South River Road team is in full swing."

……

A group of the attachés of Nanhe Road are not qualified to enter the yamen, so they can only stay in the gathering place of the attachés outside, and they don't know what happened in the yamen at all.

"Very good, wait for whoever knows him, say!"

After everyone finished registering, Hongqing didn't talk nonsense, stretched out his hand, pointed at Deng Ziyue, and asked in a deep voice.

"It's Shopkeeper Deng!"

"Why is Shopkeeper Deng here?"

"Isn't this the shopkeeper of 'Deng Kee Firm'?"

……

The attachés looked at Hongqing's fingers, and when they saw Deng Ziyue dressed as a palace guard, they were all a little stunned, and they asked nonsense, but the master Zhou Qiming's face turned pale in an instant, clenched his teeth, and said nothing.

"Master Zhou, why don't you speak, huh?"

Hongqing's eyes were very good, and he saw Zhou Qiming's strangeness at a glance, and refused to let him hide from it, so he named him bluntly.

"Back to the words of the little prince, the little one is not familiar with this person, but he didn't recognize it for a while."

As soon as he saw Hongqing staring at him, Zhou Qiming suddenly panicked, but after all, he was a person who had been in the court for a long time, and when he answered Hongqing's question, there was no flaw at all.

"Unfamiliar? That's what I've been in contact with.,Ben Beizi didn't mean to be wrong.,Huh? ”

Although Zhou Qiming's prevarication was smooth, He Hongqing was not so easy to deceive, and unceremoniously pointed out the loopholes in his words.

"Ah, this, this ......"

Zhou Qiming obviously guessed the problem, and when he heard Hongqing's question so weird, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he stammered and didn't know how to deal with it.
