In Fang Yingwu's doubts, the scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety in the hall of the Inspectorate continued to be staged, which was almost tear-jerking.

Elder Ning Liang looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to Ning Shigu: "Son, my father knows that you have a heart, and you just want to come forward to face the crime and let your father escape from the law of the country."

But one person does things and one person is responsible, and it is difficult to escape the sin for the father, how can there be any reason for you to bear the guilt? You are still young, and you have a long road ahead, and you must not ruin your life by taking the blame for your father. ”

"Father, don't say it!" Ning Shigu knelt in front of his father and said very painfully: "My son has committed a lot of sin, and now he has not only violated the law of the country, but he also has to affect his father, and he can't regret it!"

The son knows that his father has the heart to help his son get rid of his sin, but how can a son of man watch his father bear the sin? The son has already made a mistake, and he can't make a mistake again, so the father let the son confess the sin happily!

In addition, the son was willing to admit ten times the punishment in order to atone for his father's mistakes in shielding and negligence, and hoped that his father would be able to return to his hometown to live a good life. ”

After hearing what others said, they must have been confused in their hearts when they saw the father and son competing to confess their sins. Between the father and son, who is the main culprit in the embezzlement case? Is Master Ning personally masterminding, or is Ning Yanei relying on his father Shili to do evil?

And is it the father who can't bear to see his son's future ruined, so he comes forward to bear the guilt, or is the son filial piety commendable and willing to bear the blame for his father and be punished?

But bewilderment is bewilderment, but I have to say that this situation is very touching. Not to mention the other parties involved, even the errand and clerk next to him also sighed affectionately for this father and son.

However, Fang Yingwu is indifferent, not because he is hard-hearted, he is used to seeing all kinds of performances in the 21st century. But he always thought in his heart. To be human to a criminal is to be cruel to the victim.

Fang Yingwu just felt very familiar with this scene, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood. Isn't this just the trick you have leftover?

Last year in the capital, he rescued his father. Isn't it also hollow out to create gimmicks of loyal ministers and filial sons? Fang Yingwu can't rule out the possibility that human nature is inherently good, but from the perspective of conspiracy theories, the current father and son's thinking is almost the same as he was last year.

So what will be the result? Fang Yingwu thought about it from a utilitarian point of view, and secretly made a judgment in his heart, Zuihou Bacheng was the old man Ning Liang who came forward to take the blame.

The reason is very simple, even if nothing happens, Mr. Ning is also trapped internally and externally, and his age has also reached his age, and sooner or later he will have to become a teacher.

In other words. Even if something happens this time, after all, Boss Ning is a senior member of the department, and he can't be punished as a doctor, so he always has to give some decency, which is probably a dismissal and a fine for stolen goods, and maybe there are punishments such as not being allowed to participate in the imperial examination for three generations. Compared with Zhishi, it does not seem to have increased too substantial losses.

Ning Shi Gu Ning Yanei is different, he still has a future to run, and he shoulders the future of the Ning family. Once convicted, it is completely broken. Therefore, Boss Ning had to come forward to admit all the crimes, and at the same time use the attitude of taking the initiative to admit his guilt, plus brush up some emotional points, to avoid his son being implicated. In any case, filial piety was always encouraged by the imperial court.

didn't mention it, but said that according to the inspector, Lord Zhu did not stop the Ning father and son from stirring up the feelings, and let the two of them sprinkle dog blood in the court. This made Fang Yingwu very unbalanced.

Just now, he recited a few words about the teacher-student relationship between himself and Shang Xianggong, but was cited by Master Zhu as having nothing to do with the case. Stopped himself from continuing to chatter. And the words and deeds of the father and son in front of them will also not help the case, but will create confusion for the investigation of the corruption case. Why didn't Lord Zhu stop it?

Therefore, Fang Yingwu was a little dissatisfied in his heart, not suffering from widowhood but unevenness, the most irritating phenomenon was the differential treatment, it seemed that Lord Zhu seemed to have the heart to spare the Ning family.

After Ning Liang and Ning Shigu finished arguing, he suddenly turned around and came to Fang Yingwu, and said: "The official zuihou who repents, first, he can't live with his family and has not set an example; The second is that I can't live with Shang Xianggong, I am ashamed of the cultivation of Shang Xianggong for more than ten years, and I am deeply entrusted by Shang Xianggong, and I have no shame in this life! ”

When Fang Yingwu heard this, his face changed again, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the calligrapher in charge of recording next to him who was immersed in writing a book. He just tried his best to show off the relationship between himself, a righteous person, and Shang Xianggong, just to purge Shang Xianggong from this matter.

But now, this old man Ning took the initiative to come over and dragged Shang Xianggong in, what he said and did was heard by outsiders, and he thought that Shang Xianggong was covering him. What the hell does that mean!

Is Ning Liang confused, or is he doing it on purpose? Fang Yingwu secretly thought, as an old Jianghu who is an official and a member of the second grade, his political sense of smell will not be too bad, and he can't be so confused? What should be said and what should not be said, doesn't this old man understand in his heart?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Ning Liang was doing it deliberately, as if he had another plan, Fang Yingwu's face gradually turned cold, as if covered with a layer of frost. has committed the great crime of embezzlement and embezzlement of the people's fat and ointment, but still doesn't know how to honestly introspect himself, do you still want to make a dead body?

At this time, Master Zhu stroked his beard and sighed: "Your father and son are touching, and the official has his own considerations during this period."

Fang Yingwu suddenly spoke and said coldly: "Fan Wenzheng, the famous minister of the Song Dynasty in the previous dynasty, said: When a family is crying, why is it like crying all the way? To borrow it, I think it is, the Ning family is crying, how can the people of Zhejiang cry? Daren and Xiaoren are more important, and it is indispensable to visit the boss honestly. ”

Faced with the famous sayings and allusions of the former sages, Zhu Shen was stuck in his shell, and it was difficult to refute. He stared at Fang Yingwu for a long time, and thought about it for a moment, but now the hall is still mainly about inquiry, and there is no need to judge in court, let alone argue.

Master Zhu turned to Mr. Zhang, Xixi of the Lu Mansion, "Someone reported that Lord Lu neglected to supervise first, did not report what he knew, concealed major cases for his own privacy, conspired to collude, coerced others, instigated the people, and attacked colleagues, acting like treachery, and you Zhang Chang contributed a lot in it, do you admit your guilt?" ”

Mr. Zhang denied without hesitation: "I have never heard of it, and there is no such thing." ”

Lord Lu's things are different from Ning Liang's embezzlement of huge sums of money, Ning Liang's corruption cases, if no one investigates them, as long as the matter comes out, a little inventory of the treasury and the construction of the sea pond can find clues, and it doesn't make much sense to deny it.

And Lord Lu's things are mostly chasing after the wind and shadows, and it is difficult to find actual evidence. If you should deny it, you have to deny it, and you must deny it first. And then it's easy to figure out how to do it.

Ning Liang suddenly interjected: "It's the old man's lack of open-mindedness as an official, which leads to a lot of discord between the east and west halls of the political envoys. There were many rumors out of thin air, and the old man regretted them deeply after thinking about it. ”

Fang Yingwu's brows tightened, Ning Liang actually excused Lord Lu? You must know that Ning Liang and Lu Chen have always been opponents, and they have fought openly and secretly for many years, but Ning Liang took all the responsibility on himself at this time, so wouldn't Lord Lu's responsibility be greatly reduced?

He accused Lu Chen of coveting the official position of Zuo Bu's political envoy, manipulating power for his own personal gain, creating trouble, and attacking his colleagues. But even Ning Liang, the theoretical "victim", flatly denied it, so what's the point of reporting Lu Chen?

There are a lot of strange things today. One by one, they flashed through Fang Yingwu's mind

The first strange thing is that after Lord Zhu invited people to the lobby of the Inspectorate Department, he dragged it out and did not show up, and delayed until the evening before the night interrogation.

The second strange thing is that after the beginning of the questioning, Lord Zhu didn't seem to be very polite to him, the whistleblower who represented the positive side, but he replied to Ning Liang's father and son, who could almost be found guilty.

The third strange thing is that Ning Liang took the initiative to go to the hall of the prosecutor's envoy to be interrogated. and like a flat-headed commoner.

The fourth strange thing is that Ning Liang was inexplicably confused and took the initiative to mention Shang Xianggong, which sounded like he was almost protected by Shang Xianggong.

Zuihou is also the strangest. Ning Liang actually exonerated his old rival Lu Chen and reduced Lu Chen's mistakes and culpability.

Connecting these things, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but gasp. Where he can't see. There must have been a lot going on!

The most likely explanation is between Ning Liang, Lu Chen, and Zhu Shen. A kind of agreement was reached, and then each began to play its own role.

As for the timing of the agreement. Just two hours before they waited in the lobby. It is precisely because of this delay that Lord Zhu has been delaying the interrogation!

As for what agreement the three people reached, it is not known, but each must have its own benefits!

Ning Liang, who was exposed in front of people, was the most obvious, and the benefit was of course to get a light haircut, and at the same time to avoid connecting his son, the price paid was to admit all the guilt, and at the same time to relieve the siege of his old rival Lord Lu.

But what benefits can the two adults, Lu Chen and Zhu Shen, get? In addition to Lord Lu being able to mitigate his own mistakes and reduce the impact of the case on himself, Zhu Shen can also quickly reduce his negligence by judging the case? But that wasn't enough for the two of them to take the risk of striking a deal with Ning Liang, right?

What else could they expect from Ning Liang? Fang Yingwu couldn't help but set his eyes on Ning Liang, and a fourth strange thing suddenly flashed in his mind, that is, Old Man Ning suddenly made a mistake and pulled Shang Xianggong in—he was going to say such things that would damage Shang Xianggong's reputation? You can't harm others and yourself, right, who is it good for?

No way! Fang Yingwu suddenly understood, because today's first assistant is Wan'an! Many people know that Wan Shoufu is lenient on the surface, but the most fearful thing in his heart is business. The reason is very simple, as long as the business is resumed, Wan'an has to give way.

I think that Wan Anli overrode public opinion and sent his cronie Li Shishi to Zhejiang as a deputy envoy, and Li Shishi also unexpectedly came to Chun'an County in person, isn't it just to spy on business. If the merchant made some rumors in the local area that damaged his reputation, it would naturally be liked by Wan'an.

On the other hand, the three adults, Ning, Lu, and Zhu, are all high-ranking officials and are qualified to deal with Wan'an, and they can curry favor with Wan'an and Wan Shoufu by derogating Shang Xianggong. And on the other hand, you can also take advantage of the situation, and then use Wan Shoufu to make this case a big one, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone, of course, it is impossible to make a small matter.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu suddenly felt a chill. In the entire lobby, he is actually the loneliest one, as if he is under siege.

Others are just that, this Ning Liang's behavior can be called a betrayal! He is deeply favored by Shang Xianggong, and now he has done something wrong, but he wants to climb Shang Xianggong to reduce his punishment, he is really a villain who can't usually be seen!

Fang Yingwu couldn't help but sneer, pointed at Ning Liang and said, "Lord Ning answered me, do you really have a clear conscience?" Ning Liang turned a deaf ear and didn't even look back. (To be continued......)

PS: Get through the ideas, today's four watches, make up for the arrears of the first two days, this is the first change.
