After the two Nanzhen Fusi Baihu who interrogated Qin Kan were slapped by Zhang Yong, they finally woke up. Looking at the way Qin Kan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were talking happily in the prison, they realized that even if this young Qianhu was in prison, they were not qualified to interrogate by their Nanzhen Fusi.

After the two hundred households kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao in panic, they left the edict in disgrace.

Zhu Houzhao also came back to his senses at this moment, and said quietly: "I was used by you again......"

Qin Kan smiled and said: "Helping people is the foundation of happiness, if the minister is killed by Nanzhen Fusi's gang to be judged to be blurred, His Royal Highness will definitely not bear it, right?" ”

Zhu Houzhao blinked: "Let's get down to business, how did you offend your father?" What's the deal with leaflets and incitement to make trouble? ”

"Wronged, absolutely wronged!" Qin Kan showed a wronged expression, and said in a deep voice: "The people in the court are calculating me, Your Highness, you are the minister, the minister has always been in awe of the Da Ming Law, and would rather die than take a step beyond the thunder pool, can the minister do this kind of thing without the king's law?" ”

Zhu Houzhao stared at Qin Kan's sincere face for a long time, and finally nodded affirmatively: "I was a little hesitant just now, if you say this nonsense, I can be sure that these two things must have been done by you, no evidence is needed, it's you anyway." ”

Qin Kan was greatly admired: "Although His Royal Highness is young, he already has the atmosphere of a Ming monarch, and the biggest advantage is to be reasonable, and the minister is congratulatory to the Ming Society." ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled and didn't blame Qin Kan, he knew that Qin Kan did all this to save his father-in-law, Zhu Houzhao was a very affectionate person, and he never disdained the so-called legal principles, and Qin Kan's approach was obviously very appetizing to him.

"Okay, it is estimated that my father's decree to take you was also forced by the courtiers, and I had to do it as a last resort......" Zhu Houzhao said hatefully and scolded: "There is never a shortage of people in the court, who hate ghosts and hates!" You will be in prison in peace. I went into the palace to plead with my father. It will be released in three or five days. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, but you don't have to, even if you enter the palace to plead, I'm afraid there will be no result......"

"Why?"

Qin Kan opened his mouth. Thinking about it, there is still no need to explain, Zhu Houzhao is only fifteen years old now, and with his IQ, I am afraid it is difficult to understand the conspiracy of the whole thing.

"You don't understand it. Your Highness, let's continue to be your carefree prince of the East Palace, it's good to live a simpler life. ”

Zhu Houzhao stared at Qin Kan silently, and said slowly for a long time: "Beat around the bush and say that I am a fool, Qin Kan, your skills to harm people are becoming more and more sophisticated." ”

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

Qin Kan's imprisonment is not the end of the incident, but the beginning of the incident.

The dismissal and imprisonment obviously did not achieve the results expected by the enemies, they wanted the lives of Qin Kan and Du Hong, and if these two people were not removed, the murder of the Shaoxing weaver could not be covered. Qin Kan's enemies were already like lions fighting rabbits, and they showed their fangs fiercely at him and Du Hong.

On the morning of the second day after Qin Kan was imprisoned, the enemies who did not kill Qin Kan and vowed not to give up launched a collective impeachment.

The patrol according to the Zhejiang Supervision Imperial History Xing Zhao began. Once again, he asked Emperor Hongzhi to severely punish and bewitch the hearts of the people of the Jingshi. The culprit who spread false rumors, and asked to revoke the will to retry Du Hong's case. Urge the Criminal Department to make a judgment and quickly close the case, so as not to chill the ministers' distrustful attitude towards the Son of Heaven, and in the words, the sword pointed directly at Qin Kan and Du Hong.

Compared with yesterday's small wind and waves, today's morning court, the ministers' attitude has become more intense, and the momentum has become more and more powerful.

Zhang Shizhen, a scholar of Taichang Temple and a bachelor of Hanlin, went out of the class to echo it, Wu Yiyi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Cao Xi'an of the Ministry of Industry and other more than a dozen officials with authority in the court all went out to echo it, and the highest-ranking official was Jiao Fang, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials.

This seventy-year-old, bumpy years of high morality of the old man in the golden palace kneeling and weeping frequently kowtowed, hoarse throat bitterly involved in the impeachment of Qin Kan and Du Hong, the so-called state has the law of the country, there is a law but not followed, gratuitous and many branches, will only make the majesty of the Ming law lost, the reputation of the king is lost, do not rule of law and practice the rule of man, it is tantamount to letting the tiger out of the cage, the world's government will take effect, and the people of the world are panicked, the people are uneasy, and the chaos is not far away......

Jiao Fang is Jiao Fang after all, the old fox's thinking is much more open than that of ordinary ministers, a small case is said, the idea has been extended and divergent, according to the meaning of his words, if His Majesty does not behead Du Hong and Qin Kan as soon as possible, I am afraid that the whole world will be turbulent, and Daming Sheji may be in danger of overturning.

Emperor Hongzhi sat on the dragon chair with a tense face and said nothing, and Li Dongyang of the cabinet and Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, stood in the court and frowned in unison.

A squire said this crooked reasoning, Jiao Fang inevitably lost his stability, this person is very popular in the court, seventy years old has already boiled up to the qualifications to enter the cabinet, but no matter how diligent he is to work hard to please, after all, he is stuck in the position of the left waiter in the ministry, and the three scholars in the cabinet and his top Sima Wensheng still feel disgusted, but there is an opportunity to promote, and he has never automatically ignored it.

Jiao Fang knelt in the golden hall and talked nonsense earnestly, when it came to emotion, probably even he himself was moved, and while talking, he wiped his sleeves and made old tears, and after the last moment, he simply threw his face, beat the ground and howled.

Ma Wensheng really can't stand it, he doesn't know whether Du Hong's case is right or wrong, and the investigation of the factory guard will not have results so quickly, but Ma Wensheng has a good impression of Qin Kan, and Du Hong was also personally commended by him, and he was promoted exceptionally, and all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty can be killed, but Ma Wensheng is unwilling to do this, first, he doesn't want to slap his face, second, he wants to report Qin Kan's life-saving grace, and third, he really can't see Jiao Fang's disgraceful appearance of going to the grave to cry out.

Of course, Emperor Hongzhi didn't want to kill Qin Kan, he had already learned from Zhu Houzhao about the matter, even if the leaflets and inciting Gongsheng to make trouble were really done by Qin Kan, it was also to rescue his father-in-law from prison, and his behavior was a bastard, and his motives were commendable.

More than a dozen important ministers asked in unison to kill Du Hong and Qin Kan, and Emperor Hongzhi was just irritable and unable to advance or retreat, but when he saw Ma Wensheng's white eyebrows raised, he stood up for work.

"Jiao Shilang, this is the golden palace of the court, my son will rule the world with courtesy and filial piety, don't you think that the way you cry and cry is out of court? And you ......."

Ma Wensheng turned around and slowly glanced at the more than ten ministers who were kneeling in the hall and begging to kill Du Hong and Qin Kan, his eyes were as sharp as knives.

"Your Majesty ordered the retrial of Du Hong's case, in order not to indulge in vain, to my Ming Dynasty ministers with a benevolent heart, real gold is not afraid of fire refining, the case is suspicious and naturally has to be retried, today you are so eager to kill Du Hong Qin Kan, the old man really doesn't know what you want, in unison to ask for the two to be killed, what to say according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, then the old man will tell you about the law of the Ming Dynasty, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Du Hong and Qin Kan are guilty, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, convicted by the Criminal Department, verified by the Dali Temple, the last ......"

Looking at the increasingly ugly faces of the dozen ministers in the Golden Palace, the corners of Ma Wensheng's mouth hooked up with a smile: "...... The most reluctant, the execution after the autumn, do you understand? In addition to the major crimes such as rebellion and killing relatives, the rest are all 'executed after the autumn'! It's still early spring, even if the two are guilty, they have more than half a year to live, don't you keep emphasizing the rule of law, this is my Ming law, what do you have to say? ”

Including Jiao Fang, more than a dozen ministers' faces were more ugly than rags, and after looking at each other, they all retreated to the court in amazement.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Ma Wensheng with satisfaction, in the end, he was an old minister who had been up and down for decades, with rich experience in struggle, and he said a few words that made the ministers of the palace speechless, which invisibly saved Qin Kan's life and relieved him, the emperor.

——It is said that Ma Wensheng is ready to return to his hometown this year, and he is really reluctant to let him go......

Emperor Hongzhi slowly glanced at the ministers in the palace, and said in a deep voice: "It is my will to retry Du Hong's case, as Ma Shangshu said, I have the idea of benevolence in my heart, and I will not indulge in vain to every minister, do not make the grievances snowless, the pearl is covered with dust, I have made a decision, this case must be retried, who else will object?" ”

"My Emperor Shengming." The ministers in the hall said in unison.

The faces of the dozen or so ministers who had just asked to kill Du Hong and Qin Kan became more and more pale and panicked in the full hall of the mountain.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is very dirty, many people and many things can't be checked, they can't stand the investigation, and if they are checked, something will happen, Du Hong and Qin Kan will not die, it will be their turn to die.

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

Facts have proved that the good fortune will be rewarded in the end, and Ma Wensheng finally repaid Qin Kan's life-saving grace before saying goodbye to old age, and he received both silver and goods, and he did not delay or owe.

Qin Kan was in prison, and he was far better than the Golden Palace of the court without saying a word, and the re-attack of more than ten ministers was beyond his expectations, and Ma Wensheng's sudden help was also beyond his expectations.

Qin Kan, who was in prison, lived a very comfortable life, and there was everything in the cell, except for freedom and heavy thoughts.

He was waiting, waiting for Jinyiwei's investigation news, and only by locking the target behind the scenes, he could figure out a way to deal with it.

The news did not come, but a stranger came to visit him.

On the afternoon after the debate in the early dynasty subsided, an old man in gorgeous clothes came into the prison, his steps were heavy and slow, he walked to Qin Kan's cell door and turned to stand still, looking at Qin Kan quietly in the prison with a smile.

Qin Kan paused, then put down his dental floss, returned to his gentle appearance, and smiled at the old man: "I'm sorry, it's really rude for you to see my handsome side, in order to maintain a handsome image, sometimes I have to modify it a little to be perfect and admirable......

After a pause, Qin Kan arched his hand at him and said, "The new cell boss? ”

The old man shook his head and smiled: "Definitely." ”

"A prisoner who just got put in prison?"

"Definitely."

Qin Kan said with a sympathetic expression: "Could it be that you are here to visit the prison?" It's hard to get out alive when you go to prison, and you still mourn and change, so you should go to the grave in advance. ”

The old man smiled: "The old man came to see you, why does Qin Qianhu bother to be cheap?" ”
