Chapter 245: The Amazing Truth
"Zhao, the people of Benshan ask you, do you know why Steward Zhang wants to beat the drum and file a complaint?" Just when there was a dead silence in the lobby of the Criminal Department, Su Bolang shook off the dust in his hand and asked Zhao in a deep voice, who was kneeling there quite crampedly. The update is the fastest and most stable

"No...... I don't know. Zhao didn't have the slightest psychological defense, and when Leng Buding was asked by Su Bolang, a panicked look suddenly flashed on his face, and he hurriedly denied it.
"The people of Benshan know that Steward Zhang spent the night there the night before he beat the drum and made the complaint."
Su Bolang had already determined from Zhao's panicked reaction that Zhao must know some inside information, glanced at the two boys beside Zhao, and looked at her quietly, "Steward Zhang's greed for ink has become a foregone conclusion, if you don't honestly confess your guilt and make meritorious contributions, I'm afraid you will inevitably suffer from exile on the frontier!" ”
Zhao couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she knew that Su Bolang was not scaring her, although she and Zhang Wang had no name, but they gave birth to two boys to Zhang Wang as husband and wife, so once Zhang Wang's bribery incident happened, then she and her two sons would not be spared.
Life in the frontier is miserable, and the Zhao family may be able to endure it, but it is difficult for her two young sons to survive, and there may be an accident on the road.
Su Bolang squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao, taking in the changes in the expression on Zhao's face, it seems that Zhou Yuting's news of telling him is correct, Zhang Wang really stayed at Zhao's place the night before he heard the drum, which will give Zhao's psychology a heavy blow.
"Lord Wang, the women are willing to recruit, and the women are willing to say everything, please be gracious." Faced with the critical situation in front of him, Zhao didn't have time to think about it, and kowtowed to Zhu Yongqing.
"Lord Wang, the reason why Steward Zhang sued was because he suspected that Master Yuanxia was plotting to kill the emperor, and this matter is well known, and there is no need to mention it anymore."
Fan Bin was taken aback when he heard this, and secretly said bad in his heart, it seems that this Zhao family really knows something, if she says it, the consequences will be unimaginable, so she doesn't care about the dignity of the officialdom, and doesn't wait for Zhu Yongqing to open his mouth and say loudly in front of him.
Zhu Yongqing's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and he looked at Fan Bin dissatisfied, Fan Bin's move was undoubtedly offensive to him, but there were many officials on the scene, and he was not good at dealing with them.
"Lord Wang, the matter of Steward Zhang's embezzlement of ink should be dealt with separately, and the emperor's will is to investigate the cause of Steward Zhang's death." Subsequently, Qin Yongxiang also reacted and moved Emperor Hongxi out, wanting to stop the Zhao family from telling what he knew.
"Zhao, the cabinet and the five governments and six ministries will try the death of Steward Zhang, it is a matter of great importance, if you have half a lie, you will be severely punished!" Immediately after that, Wu Tong also threatened Zhao and warned her coldly.
Zhao's family is a woman, where has he experienced this kind of scene in front of him, his face turned pale for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
"Lord Wang, please continue to try the case of Steward Zhang being poisoned."
"Zhao, this is the lobby of the Criminal Department, don't be a fool."
"Lord Wang, if we interrogate Steward Zhang about embezzlement at this time, wouldn't it be a dishonor."
……
With the words of Fan Bin, Qin Yongxiang and Wu Tong, Feng Changan and the others felt that something was wrong, and immediately echoed and shouted.
This made Zhao's face bloodless, and his body couldn't help but tremble, not to mention her, even Zhang Wang had never faced the siege of the ministers of Ruoduo.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, things in the world have causes and effects, and what happened to Manager Zhang died, we will have our own conclusions."
Looking at Fan Bin, Feng Changan and the others who were surging in emotion, a smug smile flashed on the corner of Su Bolang's mouth, he could see that these people were empty-hearted, so he stopped Zhao from speaking, how could he let them be happy? Therefore, he said loudly, interrupting the words of Feng Changan and the others.
"Lord Wang, Zhao is Steward Zhang's pillow person, and he is deeply favored by Steward Zhang, and Steward Zhang may tell her some hidden secrets that outsiders don't know before beating the drum, which will also help the prince thoroughly investigate the cause of Steward Zhang's death."
Waiting for Feng Changan and the others to calm down, Su Bolang scolded Zhu Yongqing and said quietly, "If someone insists on stopping it, it will be against the emperor's holy order!" ”
Fan Bin, Feng Changan and the others couldn't help but be speechless when they heard this, but they didn't expect Su Bolang to use Emperor Hong Xi to suppress them, making it difficult for them to find a reason to refute.
"Zhao, I will come to try Zhang Wang's case by the emperor's holy order, if you know the inside story, tell the truth, otherwise once this king finds out that you have untruths, he will be severely punished!"
Zhu Yongqing glanced around at the officials in the hall expressionlessly, and said to Zhao in a deep voice, he naturally wanted to speak to Su Bolang, not to mention that what Su Bolang said was reasonable and understandable.
Hearing this, the eyes of the officials on the scene invariably fell on Zhao's body, and they all wanted to know what the Zhao family knew.
"Lord Qiqi, ladies and gentlemen, the first night when the husband of the folk woman sounded the drum, he sighed to the folk woman, regretting that he was greedy at the beginning and accepted the money from the merchants who supplied the imperial dining room, so that he is now subject to others."
The matter has come to this point, and the Zhao family has nothing to fear, she now just wants to make meritorious contributions and leave a way for her two sons to live, so she gritted her teeth and told her what she knew, "The woman asked her husband what happened, but he didn't say anything, just asked the woman to pack up her things and go back to her parents' house, and it wasn't until the next day that the woman knew that something had happened to her husband." ”
The officials in the lobby showed shocked expressions when they heard this, no one thought that the Zhao family would reveal such an amazing secret, listening to the Zhao family's meaning, could it be that Zhang Wang's complaint was persecuted?
"Did Zhang Wang reveal who he was subject to?" Zhu Yongqing's heart was also taken aback, he, like many officials on the scene, never thought that Zhang Wang would have such a big secret when he heard the drum and told him, and he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.
"The women don't know, and the husband has never sued the women." Zhao's eyes showed a gloomy look, if she had known that Zhang Wang would embark on a road of no return, she would definitely dissuade her.
"Lord Wang, the lower officials feel that what the Zhao family said is really incredible, Steward Zhang beat the drum and sued for the safety of the emperor, this is a loyal act, how can it become a subject to others?"
As soon as Zhao's words fell, Fan Bin couldn't wait to ask Zhao in a loud voice, "Say, why did you want to ruin Steward Zhang's reputation for being loyal to the country, and did anyone instigate it?" ”
Fan Bin had to jump out at this time, what Zhao said would make Zhang Wang's cause of death take a 180-degree turn, and then make Su Bolang get out of this turmoil, so that their previous calculations would come to naught.
"Lord Fan's words are wrong, if Steward Zhang really takes bribes, then he is a corrupt villain, disloyal to the country and unjust to the people, how can a person who is disloyal and unrighteous and greedy for pleasure be loyal?"
Zhao heard that Fan Bin used Zhang Wang's name to pressure her, and immediately fell into silence, although she rescued the two young sons, she didn't want Fan Bin's reputation to be ruined, at this moment, Yang Pu sneered, and retorted expressionlessly.
Yang Pu's words made the scene another commotion, Yang Pu was right, if Zhang Wang fell into the big case of greedy ink, then it was enough to prove that this person was misconducted, how could he leave behind the huge wealth he had gathered and the ** young son beat the drum to sue him, so that he was in danger?
Fan Bin's face changed, and he wanted to refute Yang Pu's words, but he couldn't find any excuse for a while, after all, Zhang Wang's greed for ink is the truth, and people who are greedy for money usually spare their lives, and they will definitely not risk their careers and lives.
Moreover, even if Zhang Wang really found out in his conscience for a moment and made such a complaint regardless of life and death, but he was greedy and his character was still corrupt, how could he make outsiders believe in him? And those Qingliu in the court undoubtedly hated his greed for ink, and they would definitely not speak for Zhang Wang again.
At this moment, the officials inside and outside the lobby of the Criminal Department were talking in a low voice about Zhang Wang's greed for ink, and many people's faces showed a look of disappointment, never imagined that the loyal minister who was admired before would be a greedy person.
The faces of Fan Bin, Feng Changan and others became very ugly, although the account books of those food merchants have not yet arrived, but from the deposit slip and Zhao's words and deeds, everyone has already determined that Zhang Wang was greedy for ink, and the cause of Zhang Wang's death has also changed, from being murdered to being coerced to death.
As for who coerced Zhang Wang, and for what purpose, whether they instructed Zhang Wang to beat the drum and file a complaint, it will never be known with Zhang Wang's death.
However, after what happened just now, it can already be ruled out that the Venerable Master of Yuanxia Su Bolang attacked Zhang Wang, he will not be the one who coerces Zhang Wang behind the scenes, so he will make trouble for himself.
Among all of them, Wu Shaoqing was the one who was hit the hardest, standing there with a pale face, extremely disappointed and gloomy in his heart, never imagined that Zhang Wang would be such a greedy villain, let alone that his beating the drum and suing him was not a loyal act, but was forced to be helpless.
Once someone reports and exposes Zhang Wang's crime of embezzlement of ink, he will definitely not escape death, rather than dying, it is better to have a clear name, I am afraid this is why Zhang Wang committed suicide.
"Wu Hanlin, do you still think that Zhao Langzhong's evil is related to the people of Benshan?" Glancing at the officials at the scene, Su Bolang knew that he had cleared the suspicion of murdering Zhang Wang, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, walked up to Wu Shaoqing's side, and asked with a smile.
The officials in the lobby were attracted by Su Bolang's actions and looked over one after another, Wu Shaoqing's mood was very complicated at this time, and he didn't know how to answer Su Bolang's question for a while.
"Wu Hanlin, if the people of Benshan want to harm you, they will definitely choose your wife, and when you are asleep in the dead of night, you will have the possibility of escaping?" Seeing that Wu Shaoqing couldn't answer his question, Su Bolang smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "Wu Hanlin, have you met the evil or the evil man, is there no conclusion in your heart?" ”
Hearing this, Su Bolang was stunned for a moment, his eyes were full of shock, he was patronizing and angry before, and he didn't think about why Su Bolang chose Zhao Yu to cast the demon spell.
Now Su Bolang is so little, especially the "evil man" and "evil man" in the end, he suddenly woke up to the meaning of "evil man" in Su Bolang's mouth, alluding to Zhao Yu's trickery and playing a good show of evil in front of him, and he couldn't help but suspect that Zhao Yu deceived him, but why did Zhao Yu do this?
"Wu Hanlin, in addition to the matter of Steward Zhang, there is another thing that needs to be clarified." Seeing Wu Shaoqing's stunned expression, Su Bolang shook off the dust in his hand, turned to the courtyard outside the hall under the concerned gaze of everyone, and said loudly, "Invite the guests in."
