Lin Zhao's trip to Dengzhou was hurried, and he finally rushed back to Bianjing in early December.

The results of the investigation were also quickly sent to the palace, and Lin Zhao "recovered" and was ordered to enter the palace, and was once again summoned separately by Emperor Zhao.

"Dongyang, come and go very quickly?" Zhao Ji smiled, and the result that Lin Zhao brought back made him very satisfied.

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "It is the duty of the ministers to share the worries of His Majesty as soon as possible!" "Having said that, in fact, it is still in a hurry to rush back to Jiangning for the New Year as soon as possible.

"Well, with this result, it's time for the argument to come to an end!" Zhao Ji sighed lightly, the controversy about Ayun's case really annoyed him, and he was much more relaxed at the moment, and asked, "By the way, this journey is still going well?" Who have you seen? ”

This one......

Why did the emperor ask that? Will...... Thinking of the forbidden army accompanying him, Lin Zhao's heart moved, and he said: "I passed through Qingzhou and visited Ouyang Gong!" ”

"Well, Ouyang Gong is a celebrity of my dynasty, Taidou, it is good to visit and ask for advice!" Looking at Zhao Ji's expression, he was not surprised at all, it seemed to be completely expected, Lin Zhao couldn't help but have cold sweat on his back. Fortunately, I didn't lie just now, otherwise I would have died a miserable death.

Lin Zhao took the opportunity to say: "Yes, fortunately, I was able to visit Ouyang Gong because of the last envoy who traveled with Ouyang Gong Gao Zu Zeng Zigu." Ouyang Gong has a very high opinion in terms of learning and dealing with the world, and as a junior, he listens to the teachings and benefits a lot! ”

Okay, now I understand to tell you why I met Ouyang Xiu. The things we talk about between us are also very common, and there is nothing unseemly.

Zhao Ji smiled: "So good! This investigation was done by you, so the Ming Dynasty will mention this matter, and you need to come forward to explain it clearly! ”

"Yes!" Ever since this drudgery, Lin Zhao knew that sooner or later there would be such a day.

Zhao Ji said again: "You are not affiliated with both of them, you are a third person who participates alone, and the explanation will be credible, but there must be one point, you yourself need to be fair and not biased!" ”

Why is it that the emperor and Ouyang Xiu's words are the same? What did these two masters do?

Lin Zhao suddenly realized that Zhao Ji supported Wang Anshi, but he couldn't show it on the surface of this matter, so he ...... Since this is the case, Lin Zhao turned his heart sideways and said that he was open-minded......

Lin Zhao didn't realize that he only knew one thing but didn't know the other. Zhao Ji looked at him with a somewhat complicated look, and said secretly in his heart: I hope you kid understand, don't disappoint?

The second round of testing begins!

The second time was the big court meeting in the Zichen Palace, and many relatively high-level officials participated, as for Lin Zhao was an exception, the emperor notified him to accept the reward, which was naturally another matter......

Not long after the court meeting began, there was a mention of the pending Ayun case. Zhao Ji secretly sneered in his heart, if he said that this would undoubtedly be his biggest headache, but today...... Looking at the two reports on the imperial case, Zhao Ji knew in his heart that he didn't care who could win Wang Anshi or Sima Guang, but he himself would undoubtedly be the biggest winner.

The two sides began to quote scriptures again, arguing with reason, and the words of the sage were quoted a lot, but unfortunately neither could convince the other party. The rhetoric is still as uninspiring......

Emperor Zhao Ji couldn't stand it anymore, and came forward and said: "Don't argue, about this case, Lin Zhao, the chief secretary of Honglu Temple, has different opinions, you might as well listen to it." ”

Lin Zhao? Although the official rank is meagre, the investigation of the suicide case of the Liao envoy and the Liao State has made great contributions, and it is said that he has some fame in the court recently. It's just that it is difficult for Xianggong and Hanlin scholars to reach a conclusion, what opinion can he, an official of Honglu Temple, have?

This is also the first time to sing a one-man show in the court, Lin Zhao was still a little nervous, and he walked out of the queue with some trepidation, walked to the middle of the hall and said: "Your Majesty, colleagues, the case of the Dengzhou woman Ayun has been debated for several months, and there has been no conclusion. I can probably hear that the main argument is how to sentence ......

Your basis is all from the scriptures, the decrees, the laws, but you seem to have overlooked one of the most important issues, and that is the case itself! ”

The eyes of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were focused on Lin Zhao, and Wen Yanbo could see that it was not unusual for the official family to throw out Lin Zhao recently, and I am afraid that there is a big article in it! Sima Guang's eyes were also a little complicated, after all, Lin Zhao was brought up by Wang Anshi and had a close relationship with the Wang family.

"What's wrong with the case itself?" An official of the Criminal Department asked the Manchu ministers about their doubts.

Lin Zhao said: "What is the actual situation of the case itself? What exactly is Veada? Why did Ayun admit to killing someone? Have you figured out all these questions? ”

"Ah Yun dislikes his fiancé Wei A's big and ugly appearance, so he has a murderous intention, such evil deeds cannot be punished!"

Lin Zhao sneered: "Don't be in a hurry to buckle your hat first!" When I was said to be an envoy to Liao, I encountered a strong wind in Dengzhou and could not cross the sea, so I once played in the countryside of Wendeng County. I happened to see a bitter love drama of beating mandarin ducks, there is a little lady in Dongjiazhuang, Wendeng County, Dengzhou, who signed a marriage contract with a scholar since she was a child, and the two sides were childhood sweethearts.

It's a pity that the cousin of this little lady is greedy for money, taking advantage of the death of the little lady's parents, in the name of raising and taking care, in fact, in order to embezzle property. Shengsheng forced the poor scholar to withdraw from the marriage, and the scholar played the flute to complain about lovesickness to meet the woman, but Shengsheng was stopped by his cousin and beat the scholar away. Then the cousin was promised to the local **...... That's right, that woman's name is Ah Yun, and as for that **, it's Wei Ah Da! ”

The file of the Criminal Department clearly records that Ayun's surname is Dong, and he is a native of Dongjiazhuang, Wendeng County, Dengzhou, Jingdong Road.

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shaken, Lin Zhao had actually seen Ah Yun before? Then his argument is more convincing, and he seems to mean that this Ayun girl is very pitiful and innocent...... So...... Above the court, some people suddenly began to rejoice, and some people were worried.

"Master Lin is sure that he has met Ah Yun in this case?"

Lin Zhao nodded and said: "There will be no mistake, Su An, the captain of the forbidden army, once witnessed the tragic situation with his subordinates, and Captain Su also came to the rescue of that scholar!" ”

As a result, two people witnessed the incident, and the possibility of the forbidden military captain confessing to him was very small, and the credibility of the testimony increased.

"Is that really the case?" The officials of the Criminal Department only felt that they had been slapped in the face, and they did not give up on asking.

Lin Zhao continued: "When the envoy returned, he was seen by a scholar through the Wuzhang River, and then followed him back to his residence to ask for a meeting. The scholar's name is Yu Xuan, and his name is Yaofu, which is exactly the person I saw in Dengzhou and Ayun's childhood sweetheart, who has a marriage contract for a long time. Yu Xuan claimed that there was another secret in this case, Ah Yun was unjustly imprisoned, let me help! ”

"Why don't the people come to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to complain? Going to you? ”

Lin Zhao snorted coldly and said: "As the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister's door, how many grades are the doors of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple?" There is no copper coin for filial piety, and there is no chance for the legend, Yu Xuan came to Bianjing for more than a month, how could he have the opportunity to meet an official who could complain about grievances? Ask yourself, could it be that the people want to avenge their grievances and really beat the drum? ”

In a word, the officials of the Criminal Department who were choked were speechless!

Lin Zhao continued: "Yu Xuan was helpless, and he had the idea of suicide, if he hadn't happened to see me, an old man who had a fate, I was afraid that he would have died of martyrdom in Wuzhang River at that time!" ”

"Master Lin didn't see all the ins and outs, I don't know what the situation was at that time, was it deceived by Yu Xuan?"

Emperor Zhao Ji spoke: "At that time, Lin Zhao reported this matter to me, and I was also suspicious, so I sent Master Lin to Dengzhou. Hurry up and get back in time! Lin Zhao, tell you about your findings! ”

Everyone's hearts moved, it seems that people have been prepared, Lin Zhao has already secretly gone to Dengzhou, and this matter is secretly instructed by the emperor. The emperor acted secretly and concealed from the courtiers, which is very unusual!

Lin Zhao took out a few things and said, "Here is the marriage certificate of Yu Xuan and Ah Yun's current engagement, as well as the testimony of some local witnesses...... It can be proved that Ah Yun did have a marriage contract for a long time, and it was his cousin who prevented him from marrying them separately...... As for that Wei Ada, he is indeed ugly, but Ah Yun does not dislike him because of this, but because he is a local **......

There is evidence that the Weia family has a lot of wealth, and this man has been idle all the time, and has not farmed, so why did he appear in the grass hut? That's when they teamed up to deceive Miss Ayun with bad intentions......"

Then Lin Zhaoyi spoke correctly and told the truth of the matter, as Yu Xuan said, there is not much difference! The victim, Wei Ada, instantly turned into a bad guy who stole chickens and rice, and had bad intentions. The original heinous murderer Ah Yun has transformed into a righteous woman who is oppressed and stands up to protect her lover......

Everyone's hearts suddenly set off a monstrous wave, it turned out that this was the case...... If this is the case as it is, then what's the point of arguing?

Someone questioned: "After all, this matter is just your words, if there is another purpose......"

Seeing this, Lin Zhao immediately scolded: "Hmph, you can praise you!" If you don't believe it, you can go to Dengzhou to find out and understand clearly, and see if I, Lin Zhao, have half a lie? To question me for cheating, first ask yourself if you have malicious intentions?

After the case, the officials of Wendeng County dereliction of duty did not investigate, and even accepted bribes to create injustice! Dengzhou Mansion and the Criminal Department, Dali Temple also do not carefully review! When I got to the court, I argued for months, but ask myself, how many of you really care about the life and death of a little woman in Ah Yun?

For the sake of your own petty calculations, you disregard the life and death of others, speak the words of saints, and keep your mouth shut about etiquette and morality, but in the end you are so hypocritical. ”

This sentence is ruthless, including Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and many ministers, all of them slapped their faces naked.

After Lin Zhao finished speaking, he let out a long breath and felt apprehensive in his heart. Some of them are really from his heart, but there are others...... Didn't the emperor demand guarantees of neutrality and impartiality for himself? In the end, it seems that this is the only way...... But sometimes he couldn't stop the car as soon as he spoke, and when the words landed, Lin Zhao found that he had gone a little too far, and this time he was playing Dafa......

Later, it was a fait accompli, and the surname Nasuo took this opportunity to brush up his fame. In order to preside over fairness and justice, for the grievances of a little woman, the court scolded the ministers, which is definitely a sensational incident. Then his glorious image will be widely praised among the people, and there may be a lot of praise among the scholars, because this act itself has a sense of justice and really requires courage......

As for the impassioned enthusiasm of the right talent, he did not name him, and he did not particularly offend a particular person. If you really want to blame, it seems that you can only blame the officials of Wendeng County and Xu Zun! Above the Great Song Dynasty, there are still more gentlemen than villains......

At this point, as for the result, there is no longer so much to manage......

This incident shook the most undoubtedly Sima Guang, he didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this at all. These days, he has been advocating the death sentence of Ah Yun, and if it is really executed, it will be an irreparable unjust case. At this moment, Master Sima's face was blue and white, and he couldn't say a word......

For Lin Zhao, he has nothing to say, after all, what they said is right, it is indeed his own loss.

As for the outcome of the case, it was indeed biased in favor of Wang Anshi's side, but they were not very welcome. Lin Zhao is not to blame for this, this guy even scolded Wang Anshi just now! Above the court, there are not so many people who dare to be fearless of power, and who speak out so righteously.

Sima Guang was above board in the end, not only did he not resent Lin Zhao, but he appreciated this kind and righteous young man in his heart. It's just that in this way, that big event can't be stopped, especially the attitude of the officials, who are iron-hearted......

In fact, most people with a heart can see that although an eight-grade petty official is bold, can he dare to directly question and scold the ministers like this? Lin Zhao was pushed out by the official family, and he was secretly sent to Dengzhou by the official family, so who does Lin Zhao's words mean? Many old ministers began to reflect and re-examine the young emperor.

As a result, after Lin Zhao was impassioned, no one spoke, and the Zichen Hall was suddenly silent!
