Chapter 97: Prison Strike

Chapter 97: Prison Sentence

Yang Ling went to the underground palace for a walk first, deliberately disturbing them, and sure enough, the two adults who had ghosts in their hearts were lured, and then with a few words, Ni Qian, the deputy of the Qintian Prison, and Li Duo, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly had a pale face, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground and beg for mercy again and again.

Yang Ling listened to the two of them tell the truth about the water discharge from the golden well, and then talked about the bad luck in feng shui, and was secretly taken aback in his heart. Although he does not believe in feng shui, he understands very well how important it is in the hearts of those who believe in feng shui.

I remember when he was a child when he moved to a new house, the first thing his grandmother did was to put a small mirror on the back window, saying that it was to drive the evil spirit out of the house, but it was not difficult for an old man who lived in the back building to see it, and thought that the evil spirit was driven to his house, for this reason the old lady and the old man quarreled a few times, and the two old men chased me to the window and pasted the mirror, anyway, the upper layer of windows was densely packed with small mirrors, and I couldn't see who had more. This thing is very funny, so Yang Ling still remembers it until now.

Modern people are still so superstitious, let alone the ancients? This emperor's mausoleum was built for the first emperor, if this matter was known by Zhengde, it would not be as simple as quarrelling, this is a big crime to kill the head.

Yang Ling thought about this clearly, immediately changed color, and said suddenly: "Two adults, do you dare to deceive the emperor for such a big thing?" Are you not afraid of destroying your homes? I'm sorry, Yang wants to rush back to the capital immediately, explain this matter to the emperor, and ask the emperor to order the relocation of the tomb."

Ni Qian and Li Duo were shocked when they heard this, they covered up the matter because of greed for a while, but in fact, they regretted the gains and losses in their hearts. But this matter has aroused the suspicion of Li Jie, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and now he wants to regret revealing this matter, and Li Shilang, who wants to make a great contribution, may not be willing to give up.

Thinking of the terrible consequences of raiding their homes and exterminating their clans, the two couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow repeatedly, and blood was already pouring on their foreheads in an instant. Although Yang Ling couldn't bear to look at it, even if Emperor Zhengde favored him again, he would not hear that they would be merciful when they fooled the mausoleum of the first emperor, he was ruthless, ignored the bitter pleading of the two, and raised his legs to go out.

Seeing that Yang Ling was unmoved, Li Duo hurriedly knelt two steps forward, hugged his thigh with tears and howled: "Lord Yang, don't go, Lord Yang stays, I waited for a moment of greed to make a big mistake, and it is not a pity to raid the house and cut off the head, but this matter is not a good deed of the people, my lord."

Lord Yang, my Ming year's income is only 4 million taels, and the silver taels invested in Tailing in the early stage have reached 2.3 million taels, and the completion of all projects will cost at least 3.8 million taels of silver.

My lord, now Henan and Hebei are flooded, Gansu and Shaanxi have been in drought for three years, if the emperor moves to build a mausoleum, there is no silver available, it is bound to levy heavy taxes, and then tens of millions of people will not be worse?

My lord, have you ever seen your biological parents exchange their children with their neighbors and slaughter each other's young to feed each other? Have you ever seen an octogenarian woman who only has Guanyin soil to eat for three meals at a time, and her belly is as big as a drum and she dies?

Yang Da, the sage said: 'The king is light, and the society is important', even if the adults don't think about the life and death of the two of us, can you bear to watch thousands of unjust souls come from your hands? Do you want to ignore the people of the world for the sake of your future? ”

Yang Ling was stunned when he heard this, and he stopped unconsciously. Qin Tianjian Ni Qian just kowtowed and begged, and after exhausting his lips and tongue, he almost said that he would give Yang Ling the two beautiful concubines he had just accepted, but Yang Ling was still unmoved, and then seeing that Li Duo's words seemed to move Yang Ling, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt forward to hug Yang Ling's other leg and said: "

Lord Yang, the excavation of the tomb is very deep, and water seepage is a common thing, what if it is changed and the water seeps again? At that time, the people will be overwhelmed, and they will be miserable, and for the sake of this underground palace, I am afraid that even the golden luan will be shaken at that time.

In fact, since the ancient emperor's mausoleum seeped seven or eight times out of ten, if Ni didn't know what was going on, how could he know how to block it with wood thorns and dust? The seepage is blocked, there is no big problem, just wait for the coffin of the first emperor to be buried, the underground palace is closed, there will be no risk, and I ask the adults to be merciful and save us, which is a kindness to the two of us, but it is a good deed to the people of the world, not only we are grateful, but the people of the world are grateful to you."

After Yang Ling entered Beijing, he also heard how much the Ming Dynasty earned, and when he heard that the imperial tomb was actually a year's tax for the whole country, he couldn't help but hesitate.

I remember when I was a master in Jiming County, I heard that many people were poor and had accumulated tax arrears for many years, and there were frequent wars there, but there were few natural disasters, and it was not the poorest place. And the places mentioned by Li Duo are more bitter than the rooster's crow, and he really wants to make a tomb for the dead and put thousands of people in fire and water?

Yang Ling was unable to choose for a while, he raised his head and thought to himself: Emperor Hongzhi, you are a good emperor who loves the people like a son, if you have a spirit in the sky, do you want to build a magnificent cemetery with good feng shui for yourself, or do you want to let thousands of people be able to live with less exorbitant donations?

Alas! Yang Ling pondered for a long time, his heart was full of grief, the people were not able to eat and clothe, if this matter was reported to the emperor, needless to say that these ministers were going to be beheaded, and he made this great achievement, and it was certain that he would be promoted.

But when the imperial court imposes heavy taxes, what will the people of the world think? After more than a year, she will leave herself, and won't the young lady stay in this world to bear the scolding of the people of the world for herself?

Yang Ling gritted his teeth, Huo Di turned around, stared at Ni Qian and asked: "Lord Ni, when I visit Jinjing, my fingers can touch the wooden handle, if it is illuminated with a lamp, there is nothing to hide immediately, and the only way to block the seepage of Jinjing is the wood thorn triple soil?" ”

Ni Qian and Li Duo couldn't help but be ecstatic when they heard Yang Ling's tone loosen, Ni Qian thought about it carefully, and then said cautiously: "Naturally, there is more than this method, but the fastest is this method. What do you mean? ”

Yang Ling shook his head and said: "Insert a wooden thorn in the middle, and say that the wood thorn will rot and overflow the groundwater, even if it has been hidden from the emperor at that time, but I am also uneasy, do you have any way to make it natural, so that people can't see the flaws, and at the same time, you can really seal those leaks?" ”

Ni Qian said with a smile: "Thank you for saving me!" As long as the adults help each other, there is a more appropriate way to do it, just pour gravel into the leakage, tamp it with soil, and then use yellow mud to infiltrate it with a certain proportion of glutinous rice juice to cover it, then it can be safe, and it looks natural, unless it is dug up to test the soil, even the gods can't see the flaw, but this method takes some time."

Yang Ling nodded and said, "Okay, for the sake of the people of the world, I believe that Emperor Daxing has a spirit under the spring, and he will also approve of me doing this." Today, I will find an officer and soldier who will be transferred out of the left hall to guard the golden well, and the adult will personally pull out the wooden thorns and block them. ”

Ni Qian said in ecstasy: "Enough is enough, enough time, it only takes two days to do it seamlessly!" ”

Now it has passed eight days, Yang Ling quietly inspected in this unparalleled underground palace, the interior of the underground palace has begun to take shape, the huge underground palace does not use beams and pillars, all with coupon arches, the front, middle, back, left, right five gorgeous palaces are completely built with pure stone, it looks magnificent.

Such a huge project, even in modern times, is very expensive, and at that time the productivity was low, just excavating, leveling, and then transporting a flat boulder for thousands of miles, the cost is already jaw-dropping, and it is worth the decision that has been made, rather than throwing millions of taels of silver here in vain, how to give some benefits to the people.

Yang Ling stopped in the left hall, the ground here is the process, the process is extremely complicated, ordinary craftsmen are difficult to fire the 'gold bricks', a piece of gold bricks flat like a mirror, the end of the tall and flat stone wall is the white marble border sarcophagus bed, the center is the gold well.

Looking at this golden well, Yang Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Ni Qian was really a pair of skillful hands, Yang Ling re-checked after he blocked it, pulled out the wooden plug under the cave, and applied soil and stone rice juice, and the water inside was no longer slowly seeping, and now unless the soil is dug out for inspection, it is difficult to see the slightest flaw just by touching it with both hands.

Li Jie, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, often used the excuse of inspecting the project to enter the underground palace, but he was always blocked by Ni Qian and a few people under the pretext, or accompanied him into the mausoleum to make it difficult for him to check, but if he blindly covered it up like this, it would be suspicious, so after Ni Qian blocked the golden well, Yang Ling deliberately let him enter the underground palace alone.

Yang Ling secretly observed, and saw that he really didn't see any flaws, and there were fewer of them in the past two days, so his heart slowly relaxed.

Yang Ling walked around the mausoleum for a while, and was about to turn around and go out, when Yang Yiqing suddenly hurried over, and said with an anxious look on his face: "My lord, someone in the Shenji Camp is missing."

Yang Ling was stunned and asked urgently, "Missing?" Is there a soldier who does not abide by military discipline secretly going to the mausoleum? How can it be missing here? ”

Yang Yiqing shook his head and said: "There are no people here, and the soldiers will not secretly go down the mountain, and the missing person is the chief Lu Enlu who said a few days ago that he saw the Jinjing draining."

Yang Ling's heart jumped sharply when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Send someone to find him immediately, be sure to find him, live to see people, and dead to see corpses!" ”。

Yang Yiqing nodded and said: "Yes, the lowly post has been searched, but I have asked many people, the sergeant of the army has not seen him for half a year, and it is even more coincidental that early this morning, Lord Li of the Ministry of Industry suddenly returned to Beijing for some reason, and the lowly post has seen the footprints of Lord Li's sedan chair, and the sedan chair seems to be not light."

Yang Ling regretted hearing this: "Li Jie wants to enter the mausoleum to inspect every time he says that he is ghostly, so he only cares about this golden well, how can he forget that in addition to physical evidence, there are also human witnesses."

He thought anxiously and said: "When the seven soldiers who witnessed this in the mausoleum were immediately transferred out and mixed into the army in front of the mausoleum, and at the same time, the officials of the secret office were ordered to keep a close eye on it, and not to lose a single person, as for the chief."

Yang Yiqing intercepted and said: "My lord, someone has returned to Beijing to ask the brother of the Zhenfu Division to investigate this matter", he took a step forward, lowered his voice and said: "My lord, those seven people are seven living evidence that can't be shaken off or hidden, do you want to see if you want to." Yang Yiqing said and slashed his right hand downward, and said with a cold smile on his face: "There are our people on the mausoleum, don't worry, you can ensure that it is done cleanly."

Yang Ling's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he looked at Yang Yiqing in surprise, Yang Yiqing smiled lightly, and said: "My lord, the pit viper stings his hands, and the strong man unravels his wrist, whether it is fame and fortune or torture, it is a hurdle that cannot be passed for those little pawns, and adults must not have the kindness of a woman."

Yang Ling knew that he was telling the truth, but he was really difficult to adapt to this kind of cold-blooded politician's argument, he was in turmoil for a while, and he didn't know what to do, he hesitated and struggled for a long time, and the good and evil in his heart were fiercely fought for a long time, and finally gave up the killing machine.

Sighing, he patted Yang Yiqing's shoulder with a wry smile and said, "Yiqing, you are also my subordinate, if one day you threaten my safety, what should I do to you?" Forget it, there is no basis for empty words, even if they say that the tongue is bright and lotus, it may not be able to prove anything, and besides, Lu Enlu has already walked away, this matter cannot be covered, so don't mention it again."

Yang Yiqing looked at Yang Ling's departing back and sighed softly, this adult is good at everything, but unfortunately he is not decisive enough to do things, as the saying goes, no poison is not a husband, one less witness is one less danger, all of them are burning their eyebrows, how can they not make a decision immediately?

Yang Yiqing touched his chin and thought about it secretly. He is not a hereditary brocade guard, and he does not have the good luck of Yang Ling, it is difficult to improve in this life, but as Yang Ling's personal companion, seeing that he has a bright future at a young age, his future is his own future, and the interests of the two are closely linked, how can he not think about Yang Ling?

Moreover, Yang Ling is a rare boss who treats people kindly and is not authoritarian. Nanzhen Fusi submitted the official document to the Jingshi, as long as Yang Ling, who can act cheaply, he can rest assured that he will handle it, and most of the high-ranking officials of Jinyiwei are promoted by bloody hands, and they rack their brains all day thinking about harming people and defrauding money, a boss like Yang Ling can be said to be an outlier in Jinyiwei, if he is punished, where can he find such an official?

Yang Yiqing gritted his teeth and quietly flashed out of the underground palace

*********************************************************************************************

The hundreds of military officials above the Golden Palace lined up and dispersed, looking indignant.

Seeing that the last court was half an hour younger, the inner servants had entered the inner palace three times to promote driving, but the dragon chair above was still empty. This was something that had never happened in the time of Emperor Hongzhi, but in the Zhengde Dynasty, this was the fourth time.

The officials were whispering to each other, and a little eunuch hurriedly flashed out from behind the side screen, dragging a long voice and shouting: "The emperor is in the palace, and the civil and military officials have taken over!" ”

When the civil and military officials heard this, they didn't even have time to complete the queue, and hurriedly knelt down to see the driver, and someone secretly looked up, only to see Emperor Zhengde wearing a winged crown and a dragon robe, and walked out from behind the screen with his head tilted and yawning.

The little emperor walked up to the stepping stone, sat on the dragon chair with his buttocks, his face was full of impatience, he glanced at the ministers, and then looked outside the palace door, at this time the light was clear, and the sun had not yet come out. Zhengde lowered his eyelids angrily and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, have come early!" ”

The three scholars in the cabinet were also angry at this time, and when they were urging the chamberlain to invite the emperor to ascend to the palace, they heard that the emperor had abolished the palace and the clerk's room attendants yesterday. In this way, no one will watch the emperor when he goes to bed at night and reads after retreating, won't the world be in chaos?

The three scholars held back their strength and wanted to give a direct advice, and as soon as Emperor Zhengde's voice fell, Xie Qian immediately went out of the class to play. This old minister really deserves the name of 'Kankan', and as soon as he opened his mouth, he gushed endlessly: "Your Majesty, in recent days, the emperor has seen that it is too late, and sometimes he has risen to the top before coming to the palace. Moreover, the officials of the previous dynasty and the envoys of foreign tribute have been waiting for a long time, not only are they mentally sleepy, but they also waste time and misbehave.

It is necessary to know that the early dynasty is the first task of the people, and the world is looking at it, and it is the system. If the monarch is lazy on the top, the ministers are famine, and the rule of peace can be achieved? The ministers are chattering and re-sending, worried in the middle, but also sincerely afraid that the sacred heart has something to do, and the prevention of mistakes is not small, so risk death on Chen, please think twice! ”。

Zhengde raised an eyelid and looked at him, and said Mu Ran: "I know."

Liu Jian saw that Emperor Zhengde didn't think so at all, and he was very angry in his heart, and he immediately went out of class and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the ancients, there has never been a person who is not prosperous with worry and diligence, arrogant and bad. I heard that the emperor abolished the palace and the clerk's room attendants, the minister thought that this matter was very inappropriate, the old saying is cloudy, reckless in the easy, reckless silver in fun, waste the opportunity to rejuvenate, in this system, the emperor should immediately restore the old system, on time and early dynasty! ”

After Liu Jian finished speaking, he stepped back, and Li Dongyang on his left hand side immediately flashed out, and Emperor Zhengde couldn't help but panic when he saw this posture, and he hurriedly said: "I know, I will correct it." Uh, I'll discuss this matter later, do you Aiqing have any other chapters? ”

Xu Guan glanced at Li Jie, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, Li Jie understood, and immediately shook his spirits in response, and said with a sense of anger and sonic vibration: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" ”

Emperor Zhengde was relieved, and hurriedly said: "Aiqing, come quickly", Li Dongyang saw this, smiled and retreated.

Li Jie said proudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are ordered to supervise the construction of the tomb of the emperor of Daxing, and they feel a great responsibility, and they are trembling, as if they are on the edge of the abyss, like walking on thin ice, and they dare not slack off."

Li Jie said for a long time, Zhengde listened to it boringly, only sighed, and did not say anything at all, Li Jie did not wait for the emperor's praise, he felt slightly disappointed in his heart, so he had to turn around the topic: "The minister heard a few days ago that the emperor's tomb is not right, the cave knot is ruthless, and the golden well of the Xuangong Palace is gushing, which is an unlucky omen." However, Ni Qian, the Qintian Supervisor, Li Duo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Dai Yi, the celebrant of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and Yang Ling of the Shenji Battalion didn't know what they were thinking, so they didn't even hide it and didn't report it."

When he said this, there was a bang in the court, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and hundreds of officials immediately made an uproar, and this case was brought into five yamen at once, which can be regarded as the first major case of the Zhengde Dynasty.

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang were also very stunned, and they all looked at each other, and they all shook their heads slightly to indicate that they didn't know. Xie Qian glanced at Li Jie, and then moved his eyes to Xu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and saw that the smug look in his eyes flashed and disappeared, and his heart suddenly understood, and he couldn't help but snort secretly.

Liu Jian was also a little unhappy in his heart, as the first assistant of the cabinet, such a big matter, the Ministry of Industry didn't say it to him in advance, and even bypassed him to play the emperor directly, Xu Guan's desire to compete for favor was too obvious.

The Ministry of Rites is also one of the yamen who were involved, but Wang Qiong looked calm and did not panic. Xu Guan had already discussed with him in advance, Wang Qiong thought in his heart that the emperor did not abide by etiquette, and now he was slacking off in the government, it must be Yang Ling and Liu Jin and other internal supervisors who instigated and tempted them, and they had regarded them as a great disaster for the court, so when he heard it, he immediately made up his mind that even if he gave up Li Duo, he would take Yang Ling.

As soon as Li Jie finished speaking, he knelt down and played: "Your Majesty, several envoys who are ordered by the emperor are deeply trusted by the emperor to be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, I can't imagine that they are so bold and reckless, and their sins are unforgivable!" As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his subordinate officials are also involved, the minister is really frightened of the crime of not knowing people, and I ask Your Majesty to surrender the crime."

Xu Guan floated out and said to Emperor Zhengde: "Your Majesty, when the site of the emperor's mausoleum was surveyed a few years ago, Wang Shangshu was preparing for the spring festival in the capital.

However, the ministers who were ordered to supervise the creation of the tomb dared to deceive the king and not report even the major events that damaged the dragon veins and hurt the fortunes of the country.

Emperor Zhengde was already furious when he heard that there was an accident in his father's cemetery, and then he heard that the dragon vein was damaged and the fortune of the country, his heart was even more uneasy, and the sleepiness suddenly went away, he jumped up angrily, but after thinking about it, he was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Is this serious?" Do you have any real evidence? ”

Li Jie immediately said categorically: "The minister has evidence, Lu Enlu, the head of a divine machine battalion in charge of the underground palace project on the mausoleum, has witnessed the Jinjing Yongquan with his own eyes, and this person has been brought back to Beijing!" ”

Zhengde was really angry when he heard it, he slapped the royal case and shouted: "His heart can be punished!" Immediately escort this cadre and others into Beijing, and hand them over to the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple for interrogation, if it is found to be true."

He thought of Yang Ling in his heart, hesitated slightly, and then thought that he trusted him, but even he cheated for personal gain, deceived himself for the sake of interests, and his heart was sad and angry, he gritted his teeth and said: "If they really deceive the king, behead!" ”

*****************************************************************************************************

Ever since he knew that Lu Enlu, the head of the Shenji Battalion, was missing, Yang Ling was so frightened that he didn't sleep well all night, he was not naïve enough to think that the official of the Beijing camp was a deserter or was eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, Li Jie didn't come back overnight, and he had already guessed that something was wrong.

At this point, Yang Ling can only hope for the special surname of Jinjing, Jinjing is a dragon vein in feng shui, and it cannot be easily moved, and Ni Qian blocked it very skillfully, unless the well is dug and the soil is inspected, it is impossible to see that there has been water leakage, even if there is a human witness in the court, there is no physical evidence, and it is categorically impossible to deal with so many ministers.

When Ni Qian and Li Duo heard the news of the disappearance of the whipped chief and the return of Li Jie, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, to Beijing, they were at a loss for a while, and they and Dai Yi came to Yang Ling in a panic early in the morning to discuss countermeasures.

Dai Yi is one of the four leaders of the celebrant eunuch, the cronies around Wang Yue, the minister of the eunuch with the palm print, has always been a good friend of Dongchang Fan Ting, he saw that everyone couldn't come up with a way, his eyes couldn't help but flash fiercely, and said with a cruel smile: "Our family will return to Beijing immediately, send people to remove that pawn, I see what tricks Xu Guan Li Jie can play!" ”

Yang Ling hurriedly stopped: "No, if Lu Shichang is really bought and taken away by him, he must be very strictly protected, Xu Guan Li Jie is not a stupid person, what if he is used as bait to lure us to take the bait?" Don't fall for it."

Li Duo rubbed his hands together and said in a panic: "Then what should I do?" So what to do? Shall we sit idly by? ”

Yang Ling secretly thought: Since everyone is superstitious about feng shui, now there is only feng shui to make feng shui. Yang Ling was about to ask Qin Tianjian Ni Qian if he could make some fuss in feng shui, when suddenly the gate was knocked open with a bang, and Peng Jizu rushed in angrily, shouting in a rough voice: "My lord, something happened, the white jade bridge behind the gate suddenly collapsed, and the earthwork on both sides also collapsed, and the dozen or so brothers who were transferred to dig the river were all buried alive inside."

"What?" Yang Ling stood up in shock, and even thought that the seven soldiers who were transferred out of the underground palace yesterday were sent to dig the river under the bridge, how could it be so coincidental that something happened where they went?

Yang Ling was suspicious in his heart, and immediately turned his head to look at Yang Yiqing, as soon as Yang Yiqing met his gaze, his eyes immediately flickered and moved away, his expression was quite unnatural. Yang Ling suddenly guessed in his heart that he had done it, and he knew that Yang Yiqing was for his own good, but this move not only killed the seven innocent soldiers, but also involved other people, and Yang Ling couldn't say what it was like in his heart for a while.

He understands that if he is decisive and ruthless enough, if he wants to succeed in this officialdom, he must learn to make decisions on the spot, put all seems interests first, and those who should be removed must be removed mercilessly, and the stumbling blocks that stand in his way must be kicked away, but emotionally, he really can't accept being a cold-blooded politician.

Yang Ling stomped his feet, and had no choice but to say to Peng Jizu: "Let's go, go to the mausoleum and have a look, and organize people to rescue!" As soon as he led a group of people to rush out of the door, he saw dozens of officials in soapy clothes and red hats who belonged to the Criminal Department rushed over with waist knives, and someone in the crowd shouted: "The holy decree has arrived, and the ministers who supervised the emperor's mausoleum knelt down to receive the holy decree!" ”

Yang Ling and the others were taken aback when they heard this, and immediately knelt on the ground like a quick knife and cut onions, only to see the crowd divided, a burly old man with a red face and a white beard with fluttering sleeves, walked forward quickly, and immediately unfolded the holy decree with only one foot, and shouted in a loud Shandong accent: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Inspector Qin Tianjian Ni Qian, the minister of the Emperor's Mausoleum, Li Duo, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Dai Yi, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and Yang Ling, the general of the Shenji Battalion, are suspected of cheating on the project and deceiving the saints. ”

The red-faced old man said, waved his hand, and shouted: "The suspected criminals reported their names and took them down for me!" ”

Li Duo, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, saw that the person who came was Wei Shen, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and he couldn't help but tremble, and suddenly collapsed on the ground. This burly old man with a red face is a native of Qufu, Shandong, and a fellow villager of Sage Kong, although he looks like a martial artist, but he is an authentic scholar, a jinshi who has been in Chenghua for 17 years.

This person is upright, only recognizes the law and does not recognize people, there have been people who pretend to be relatives, the departments and yamen of the criminal department are afraid that the person is really a national relative, no one dares to take down the guilt, Wei Shen took the paper, without saying a word, immediately led someone to take him down, after this case, Wei Shen was famous in Beijing and went directly to the emperor, and then all the big cases involving courtiers and relatives, and the emperor wanted to punish severely, most of them sent this person forward.

There are many times, and everyone has also figured out the pattern, as long as the old man Wei comes forward, that person is dead, and it happens that the ghost judge in the underworld is a red face, and everyone simply calls him Judge Wei behind his back. When Li Duo saw that he was coming, he expected to die, and his body suddenly became soft and muddy.

Behind Wei Shen, the officials didn't care that the people kneeling in front of them were all second- and third-grade court officials, and they pounced viciously, only to hear Dai Yi tremble and say: "Dai Yi, the servant master of ceremonies!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he was stunned by a set of chains, and then a large flail was put on his neck.

Li Duo, Ni Qian, and Yang Ling reported their names one by one, and immediately shackled and escorted to the prisoner car and went straight to the capital!
