Chapter 480: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
"You and other ministers, who bear the grace of the saint, enjoy the fat of the people and the anointing of the people, and do not want to serve the court, but they are corrupt and pervert the law, wantonly accumulate wealth, and all kinds of ugly deeds, and people are not ashamed, can you be convicted now?"
Wang Hongyi's face is upright, righteous and strict, and people who don't know the details of it, just listen to these sonorous and powerful words, and their good feelings will arise spontaneously. Such a person is not a clean official, and who else is a clean official?
Zhang Xi, Su Wei, and Cui Yuanzong were asked by him, and they all showed a sad face, and they couldn't help but hang their heads.
Since the East Palace surrendered the case, the emperor is not so easy to believe in the rebellion case, and it is too difficult to bite a stolen case into a rebellion case, Wang Hongyi did not come to Junchen to point the deer as a horse The means and scheming, thinking of this matter makes him feel a headache.
Before he could think of a proper reason, the case had to drag on and could not be closed easily. Thinking of this, Wang Hongyi coughed and said: "Zhang Xi, you have been for the election of heavenly officials for many years, since when did you start accepting bribes, and which officials have been promoted because of your benefits, and you haven't recruited them quickly!" ”
Zhang Xi raised his head in panic and said, "The prisoner has already been recruited!" ”
Wang Hongyi sneered and said: "There are only a dozen people on the list you confessed, could it be that you have only accepted the benefits of these few people in the past few years!" ”
Zhang Xi said periodically: "Some...... Some are just favors, gifts from friends. Even if they don't give gifts, it stands to reason that they should be promoted......"
Wang Hongyi slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Whether you should be promoted or not, there is a public opinion." You just have to tell you who have benefited from it since you were elected as a celestial official, so that you will not suffer from flesh and skin. Hum! Since you have paid bribes, you will lose a German word first, and what should you say should be promoted, a big joke! ”
As soon as Wang Hongyi's words fell, more than 20 errand officials suddenly rushed up to the hall, and more than 20 people rushed to the lobby, and there was a great chaos in the hall. The poor people in the hall were greatly stunned. The head of the standing shift immediately greeted him and shouted, "Who are you waiting for?" How dare you trespass on the court! ”
Those people didn't pay attention to it, rushed up to the hall to the left and right, and stood in front of the officers of the magistrate's house in the shape of a goose, and the two flags pressed the knife in one hand, and rushed to the front with a proud expression, pushing the stunned squad leader aside, and turned around to stand still. He said loudly: "Please Lang Zhong to go to the court!" ”
Seeing this strange situation, Wang Hongyi couldn't help but stand up slowly, with a look of surprise on his face, and the three Su Wei people standing in the hall couldn't help but have a touch of hope in their hearts when they saw it: "Look at this, could it be that the situation has changed?" ”
There are more than 20 tolerances in the hall. There is a guard in the middle, dressed in a grand official robe, and it is Yang Fan, the main hall of the Criminal Department. Wang Hongyi saw Yang Fan as soon as he saw him. His expression changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "Yang Fan, this is the Imperial History Tower, not the yamen of your criminal department, why did you break into my lobby?" ”
Wang Hongyi asked confidently. An ominous premonition had made his hands and feet cold. Yang Fan is not crazy. Of course, it is impossible to take someone to trespass into the lobby of Yushitai, and he must have some confidence if he dares to come. Wang Hongyi has a ghost in his heart. In an instant, I had already made all kinds of conjectures, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became.
Yang Fan made a stop in front of the hall. glanced at the three prime ministers who were looking at him with a hopeful face, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Li Xianggong has made you an outcast in order to completely defeat Yushitai." You do have a stain on your body, Yang is unable to support it alone, and I really can't save you. ”
Yang Fan glanced at them and stopped looking, only raised his left hand, Feng Xihui, who was standing behind him, immediately handed the holy decree to his hands, Yang Fan slowly unfolded the holy decree, and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, Wang Hongyi has taken the decree!" ”
Wang Hongyi was even more frightened in his heart, and hurriedly left the public case, bowed his hands and stood up, and the three prime ministers who had committed crimes all retreated to the side because they were not the commanders.
Yang Fan read out the holy decree loudly and said: "Disciples: Today, there are people who have complained about their grievances, suing Wang Hongyi of the imperial history in the name of fake antiques, and wantonly accepting bribes. Regard the law of the country as nothing, and use the national weapon for its own use, and order the criminal department to arrest and investigate...... "There are also seals of Zhongshu Shilang, Zhongshu Sheren and other cadres below, which is an official document of the imperial court. Originally, the Criminal Department did not have the right to directly try the convicts of the Imperial Historical Observatory, but with the Emperor's decree, he could confidently interfere in the case.
Yang Fan announced his will, waved his hand, and four sturdy men rushed up, removing his official hat and taking off his official robe, and with a "stunned" sound, the iron chain was put on Wang Hongyi's neck, Wang Hongyi's legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
The criminal department sent people to look left and right, all of them were arrogant, when did the criminal department pass so majestic, and they ran to the Yushitai to shake the wind. Yang Fan has the same majesty as Zhou Xing, but he is not as strict as Zhou Xing, and he has already won the hearts of the public in the Criminal Department.
"Take people away!"
As soon as Yang Fan gave an order, Yuan Han took a group of officials from the Criminal Department and dragged Wang Hongyi down the lobby. The servants of the Yushitai standing on both sides saw that Yang Fan was ordered to take people, and they were all at a loss, and they didn't dare to step forward to stop them.
As soon as Su Wei and the three of them saw Yang Fan turn around to leave, they couldn't help but be a little anxious, although Cui Yuanzong was Yang Fan's old boss, he was intrigued, and he really couldn't talk about friendship, and today he was a prisoner, how could he still have the face to see his former subordinates, Su Wei was quite familiar with Yang Fan because of Di Renjie, so he gave up his old face, hurriedly stepped forward, and arched his hand: "Yang Langzhong, the case of Lao Yu and others ......"
As soon as Yang Fan saw him salute himself, he hurriedly avoided a step and returned the salute: "The lower official should not be a courtesy to Prime Minister Su." The lower officials came today, but they were only ordered to bring Wang Hongyi to justice, and the lower officials had no right to intervene in Su Xiang's case. ”
When Su Wei heard it, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Yang Fan saw that he was only fifty years old, his hair was already half white, his hair was fluffy, his face was haggard, and he couldn't bear it in his heart after all, and suddenly thought about what Wan'er said to him when he had a tryst yesterday, so he said: "The sage's eyes are shining, and the candle is in the world, if Su Xiangruo is not at fault, he will definitely not wronged you." If there is a mistake, you should sincerely repent of it, the saint is the reincarnation of Maitreya, and he has great compassion, or he will open the net. ”
When Yang Fan said this, he arched his hand to him, turned around and retreated.
Cui Yuanzong and Zhang Xi also heard these words in their ears, but these words were not painful or itchy, and they were just more depressed when they heard it, how could they go to their hearts. Only Su Wei, when Yang Fan was halfway through speaking, his eyes touched him, and he faintly lost a look, Su Wei saw it in his eyes, and his heart suddenly moved.
Looking at the back of Yang Fan leaving, Su Wei chewed Yang Fan's words repeatedly, and gradually smacked out some taste. If Yang Fan just comforted him like this, he would not have any other thoughts, this is a very common comforting word, just like when there is a funeral at home, others must say "condolences and change".
But coupled with Yang Fan's meaningful eyes, Su Wei didn't think that this sentence was so simple. He still didn't understand the reason, but he had decided to give it a try according to Yang Fan's words, maybe his hope was in this one look and one sentence......
Yang Fan came out of the public hall with people, and the outside was already full of people from the Yushitai, as soon as they saw that Wang Hongyi was locked by them, they immediately made a big uproar, and immediately someone surrounded them and asked loudly, Feng Xihui and Yuan Han were not ambiguous, and shouted "take people by order" at the top of their voices, after some hustle and bustle, those people heard that they were really coming by order, but they didn't dare to stop it, but just looked at them with hateful eyes.
Yang Fan stood behind and let them make trouble, a pair of eyes scanning the crowd intentionally or unintentionally, he didn't believe that the person in charge of the Yushitai would not show up. The criminal department has a holy purpose in hand, and no one can stop him from coming to get people, even if Lai Junchen is still there, he can't stop it.
But coming forward to ask about the situation, appeasing Wang Hongyi, and even stacking a few cruel words to fill the scene, it is the duty of a chief official. If not, the morale of the Imperial Observatory is bound to plummet.
Sure enough, it came.
Yang Fan saw Wei Suizhong and Hou Sizhi who came in a hurry, and secretly smiled in his heart, but he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he didn't see Cheng Wan Guojun in the current imperial history. Although this person has no leadership courage, but he is scheming and scheming, he will not fail to understand that the more times like this, the more he needs to come forward to stabilize people's hearts.
But it doesn't matter if Wan Guojun doesn't come, it was Hou Sizhi who he was going to beat, and it was the same to say to him directly.
As soon as Wei Suizhong and Hou Sizhi came, the people of Yushitai immediately flashed to both sides and made way for them.
When Wang Hongyi saw Hou Sizhi, he immediately said excitedly: "Brother Hou, Wan Zhongcheng, you must be the master of the little brother!" ”
Hou Sizhi comforted: "Hongyi, don't panic, Wan Zhongcheng has not come back when he went to Dali Temple to do business." When he comes back, our brother will definitely discuss a countermeasure to get you out. Our Yushitai is not a soft persimmon to be kneaded, and we will definitely get it back for you. ”
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Cough! The official was ordered by the emperor to try this case, if Wang Yushi was wronged, the official would return him justice, if he was really guilty, this is a case that Bixia is concerned about, I'm afraid no one can save him. ”
Wei Suizhong's face was full of anger, and he sneered disdainfully: "Yang Langzhong, you are really majestic!" My magistrate's house has always only brought people in, and it is the first time that someone else has taken people out from our imperial platform. ”
Yang Fan smiled and said: "Why make such a fuss about Wei Yushi, Yushitai is not a Longtan tiger's den, if someone breaks the law here, it will naturally be difficult to escape the punishment of national law." As the saying goes, if you have one, you will have two, and this time you will only take one, and the next time you may take two, you will just get used to it. ”
Wei Suizhong's nose was almost crooked, and he shouted: "Surnamed Yang, don't be too rampant!" When I was a royal historian, I can't be bullied, if you take me a royal history today, you will have to compensate you a thousand times in the future. ”
Yang Fan's expression was cold, and he said angrily: "Wei Yushi, there are hundreds of officials in the court, and there are thousands of officials in the world. It's you, do you think it's okay for this official to arrest only one Wang Hongyi? If you don't know, unless you don't do it, you should plan for yourself first! Let's go, let's go back to the Criminal Department! ”
Yang Fan waved his hand, lined up everyone, and escorted Wang Hongyi out of the Yushi Terrace. Hou Sizhi heard this sentence from his side, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It seems that they have been staring at my Yushitai for a long time, I'm afraid that we still have some handle in his hands, otherwise they won't be so tough." ”
Looking at Yang Fan's back, Hou Sizhi suddenly thought that he had a trick, and couldn't help but secretly say: "No, just in case, I have to take precautions early!" ”
P: Ladies and gentlemen, it's the end of the month, and I sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets! (To be continued.) )
