Ji Anhou saw that one of the first two major crimes could not be implemented now, and if Zhang Mu came alone today, things would be much easier.

But the little county lord is sitting here now, and he can't forcibly punish Zhang Mu, so he can only arrest Zhang Mu one by one.

Immediately, Ji'an Hou said coldly: "Zhang Mu, this marquis asks you, have you ever received bribes from Hangzhou squires?" ”

Zhang Mu shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Hehe, I know you won't admit it. Come, bring me witnesses! Ji Anhou leaned back in his chair and sneered.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a squire came in from outside the lobby, this person looked like he was in his fifties, wearing a silk shirt, an old man's scarf, a green silk silk around his waist, and satin cloth shoes.

This dress looks like a solid family, Zhang Mu has seen this person, named Wang Guiyun, Hangzhou squire, known as Wang Yuanwai.

In order to raise 40,000 yuan of silver to go to sea, Zhang Mu bought and sold students, and collected 3,000 to 5,000 yuan from each of these squires.

They donated money to donate a birth to a child, you are willing and I am willing, besides, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xuezheng both know about this matter.

Zhang Mu naturally has no fear.

Wang Yuanwai entered the lobby and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Wang Ming coughed and asked coldly, "Who is in the hall?" ”

"Grass people Wang Guiyun."

"Okay, Wang Guiyun, the official asked you, has this young man ever accepted a bribe from you?" Wang Ming asked.

"Back to your lords, it's him, and the grass people know him. Two months ago, I was told. You can give money to your children and grandchildren, and after many inquiries, the grass people finally got to know them. And he gave them five thousand pieces of money. For this reason, the lord also entertained us personally. Wang Guiyun hurriedly said.

"Boldly Diao Min, do you know what the crime of selling an official beard is?" At this moment, Ji Anhou suddenly shouted angrily.

Where has Wang Guiyun seen such a battle? Suddenly frightened, his face was like ashes, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The grass people deserve to die, please forgive your sins." ”

"I'll talk about you later. Zhang Mu, the matter has come to this day. What else do you have to quibble? Wang Ming asked coldly.

Zhang Mu looked up at Wang Ming and said with a smile: "I have nothing to quibble. What this king said is true. I did receive their money, 40,000 in all. ”

"In that case, what are you waiting for? Take down this corrupt brute for me! Ji Anhou finally couldn't help but shout angrily.

"Wait!" Zhang Mu shouted at the moment.

Then, he took out another bamboo tube from his arms. Raised his hands above his head and said, "This official raised 40,000 pieces of silver." Just to buy seafood. Investigate the reality of the sea coars. This matter was granted by His Majesty, and there were twenty places in total, and one more was not much. One less, no less. Besides, the academic and political affairs of the University have known about this for a long time. Where is the theory of corruption and perversion of the law? ”

When Ji Anhou saw this, he couldn't bear it.

Immediately got up and said: "This Hou Ye wants to see if you are pretending to pass the holy decree and present it to this Hou Ye." ”

Wang Ming on one side hurriedly coughed and said, "Master Hou, calm your anger." ”

Ji Anhou was already furious at this moment, and when he interrogated Zhang Mu just now, Zhang Mu took out the so-called holy decree to fool him, and he secretly regretted not opening it.

At this moment, Zhang Mu turned out to be the same, he didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang would indulge him like this.

Zhang Mu had already dug the pit and waited for Ji Anhou to jump inside.

Now seeing that Ji Anhou wanted to see the holy decree, Zhang Mu said faintly: "Ji Anhou, I have to say ugly things in the front, if this official is not a false holy decree, then I will accuse you of a crime of slander." Hou Ye has to think about it. ”

"Presumptuous, Your Majesty is wise and martial, jealous and hateful. The most hated thing in this life is corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and you have repeatedly exceeded, and your sins are unforgivable. When this marquis distinguishes the truth of this holy decree, you can't run. Present it to the marquis. Ji Anhou suddenly said angrily.

Yacha looked, where do you dare to slack? Hurriedly put the bamboo tube on the hall table.

Everyone in the hall held their breath, this time they opened their bows and did not turn back, once the holy decree was opened, there was no room for maneuver.

Ji Anhou picked up the bamboo tube and hesitated, as long as this holy decree is not opened, for Zhang Mu, even if the yellow mud falls in the crotch of his pants, it is not but.

However, once it is opened, if it is true, it will be troublesome.

However, Ji'an Hou is gambling, betting that Zhang Mu's holy decree is fake.

If you deceive the king, you will be connected to the nine clans, and you will not be bothered to try other crimes.

At that moment, Ji Anhou unscrewed the bamboo tube, poured out a pair of yellow moire silk silk from it, and after slowly unfolding, there were four big characters written on it: "Don't take it as an example!" ”

In addition, there is also Zhu Yuanzhang's entourage Zhu Pi, Ji'an Hou has followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the southern and northern wars for many years, so he naturally recognized this trace, and he was speechless.

If this decree had been false, he would not have had the courage to do so.

At this moment, Ji Anhou hurriedly trembled and put the holy decree into the bamboo tube, and then coughed and said, "The holy decree is not false. Boldly Diao the people, he dared to falsely accuse the grass people's officials, come to someone, drag it out and beat a hundred sticks first. ”

Wang Yuanwai was dumbfounded, originally he didn't want to testify, but Wang Ming put pressure again and again.

The people don't fight with the officials, this truth is understood by Wang Yuanwai, seeing the fall of Zhang Mu, he also feels sorry for his five thousand yuan treasure money, so he came forward to testify.

Who would have thought that this was a chicken flying egg beating, and the frightened six gods had no owner, so they hurriedly said: "My lord, spare your life, the grass people are wronged." ”

Ji Anhou himself sat on a piece of shit, he never dreamed that Zhu Yuanzhang would condone Zhang Mu so much, and now he suffered a big loss, and hurriedly coughed: "Zhang Mu, it was all a misunderstanding just now, since this matter was approved by His Majesty, the charge of corruption and perversion of the law, in the eyes of this marquis, is a false accusation by Diao Min." ”

Zhang Mu smiled unhurriedly: "It's good to figure things out, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and they are all worried about Your Majesty." I don't know what other charges this official has? If not, then Ben Guan Ke will take his men and leave. ”

Wang Ming and Ji Anhou couldn't help but glance at each other, they both knew in their hearts that Zhang Mu was a fierce tiger, and once he was released, the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang officialdom was afraid that there would be a terrible earthquake.

However, among the four charges woven for Zhang Muluo at present, the most critical three have been invalidated, and only one is left that is rampant and chaotic.

This crime was just to make up the number, and I originally wanted to weave Zhang Mu's ten major crimes, but because the time was tight and there was no evidence, I temporarily fabricated four of them.

They never dreamed that Zhang Mu would come back alive, which messed up all their plans.

After taking a deep breath, Wang Ming said: "Zhang Mu, although the first three have been explained clearly, there is still one. The official asked you, are you from Yongkang County? ”

Zhang Mu smiled: "Yes, Xiaguan is indeed from Yongkang County. ”

"Well, someone sued you in Yongkang County, burned and looted, did all kinds of evil, ran rampant, and caused chaos. Can you admit it? Wang Ming then said. (To be continued......)
