Liu He is not only Cui Cen's henchman, but also one of his money bags.

The other officials involved can't be saved now, but Liu He still has to be saved.

Cui Cen said lightly: "Since your name is not on the account book, then you pretend not to know about it." ”

I don't know this? Liu He was a little puzzled, and asked cautiously:

"Teacher...... The lower officials are dull, and I hope you will make it clear. ”

"You don't know anything about embezzlement, bribery, selling illicit salt, and so on.

It's all Liu Han who borrowed your name for personal gain, so if you pick yourself up, the emperor can't do anything to you. ”

What does the prime minister mean...... Put all the blame on the big brother on their heads?

Liu He was stunned and figured out what he meant, but he hesitated for a while.

Cui Cen's tone was indifferent: "If you don't put your mind to it, that picture won't be able to save you." ”

Liu He's hand under the sleeve clenched suddenly, and the hesitation in his eyes was replaced by a touch of ruthlessness.

This disaster, in the final analysis, was caused by Liu Yishan's kid.

If it weren't for him, how could he have fallen so much?

Then let them bear the blame for themselves this time, and it is also deserved!

"The student understands that I don't know anything about this!"

Liu He bowed to Cui Cen:

"Teacher, you saved the students, He has nothing to repay, you should repay him for the cattle and horses!"

......

Wan Chao and others came out of Liu's Mansion, Wang Zhi was afraid that Wan Chao would go directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for someone, so he stopped him loudly:

"Lord Wan, Liu He hid from Prime Minister Cui Cheng's mansion, let's go directly to find someone for fear that it will be inappropriate.

Why don't we go back to the palace first and report this matter to the emperor?"

Wan Chao naturally knew that if he really brought people to the Prime Minister's Mansion, things would go bad.

"Send someone back to the palace to report the matter to the emperor, and those officials on the list in Beijing must be arrested tonight. ”

Zhao Xin was concerned about whether things were going well with Wan Chao, so he didn't go to the queen tonight, but waited for news in his palace.

After listening to the report of the person sent by Wan Chao, Liu He heard the news in advance and went to Cui Cen for help first, and now when he stayed in Cui's mansion, Zhao Xin was not surprised.

It seems that it is a little difficult to pull Liu He off the horse this time.

Zhao Xin stared at the burning candle flame with a deep look in his eyes.

It wasn't until midnight that Wan Chao and Wang Zhi entered the palace to report to Zhao Xin.

Except for Liu He, all the people in Beijing who were in Beijing were arrested and brought to justice, and they were only waiting for trial and sentence.

Several officials outside Beijing have also sent people to arrest them overnight.

Zhao Xin didn't say much, nodded, and waved them back.

Cui Cen wanted to protect Liu He, but that couldn't let him escape so easily.

finally caught such an opportunity, even if you can't kill Liu He, you still have to pick up the skin!

Zhao Xin stood on the steps with his hands in his hands, and the light of the lantern reflected in his eyes, but it shook out a coldness.

He decided, he wants to try this case personally!

What happened tonight broke the tranquility of the night, and also made many people sleepless all night and panicked.

Overnight, the news that officials were arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of corruption spread throughout the officialdom in Beijing.

Because of this, the atmosphere in the court was a little delicate when the next morning came.

After the ministers worshipped, the imperial eunuch said under the instruction of Zhao Xin:

"Something to start, nothing to retreat. ”

"The minister has his own music. ”

One person came out of the queue with a wat, and Zhao Xin glanced at it, it was Liu Min, the protégé of Dahonglu Liu Min and Cui Cen.

"What's the matter with Liu Aiqing?"

Liu Min said: "Last night, the people of the East and West Factory wantonly broke into the officials' mansions and arrested people on a large scale, and this matter has spread in Beijing and caused a bad impact. ”

Zhao Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly:

"Liu Aiqing doesn't know that those who are arrested are all corrupt officials who violate the law and discipline?

Do you want to speak for the moths of these countries?"

"Your Majesty, it is too hasty to say that so many officials are corrupt and bribed without evidence or certificate?" Lu Qian, who lived in the official Shaofu, came out

"If I can arrest them, I have the evidence. ”

Zhao Xin's tone was cold, and his gaze turned to Cui Cen.

"There is another suspect in this case, Liu Hewei, who has not been arrested and brought to justice, I heard last night that he is in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Prime Minister Cui Cheng, do you know about this?"

Cui Cen frowned and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister only learned the news today."

Just now, Lord Lu is reasonable, His Majesty has arrested so many people at once, it is better to find out.

If we have wronged a good man, will it not chill our courtiers who are loyal to Your Majesty?"

Zhao Xin said: "I have found a lot of evidence.

Since all of you have objections to this case,

After everyone was arrested and brought to justice, I personally tried it in the Yasheng Hall of Jingzhao Mansion.

At that time, everyone from the three princes and nine kings to the ordinary people can be present to watch the trial.

Prime Minister Cui Cheng, since Liu He is in your house, you have to take a good look at him.

When the case is heard, he must be present, otherwise he will ......

I'm afraid that the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be at peace!"

Cui Cen's face was a little cold, he didn't expect the little emperor to want to try the case in person.

But so what?

Cui Cen sneered in his heart, there is no name of Liu He in the account book, this person is Baoding!

If he retreats this time, the little emperor will definitely get even more carried away.

He must take this opportunity to let him understand how many pounds and taels he has!

After Zhao Xin finished talking about this, he announced his retirement from the dynasty.

The remaining few officials involved in the case who were not in the capital were arrested by Xichang and returned to Beijing this morning.

In the afternoon of the same day, a public trial was held.

Jingzhao Mansion is full of people from outside.

Outside, there were people who had heard the news and came to watch.

Last night's massive arrest has now spread all over the capital.

But the people didn't know what was going on, and now they heard that the emperor actually tried the case himself, which caused a sensation.

Zhao Xin intended to let this matter spread among the people, so he did not prevent the people from coming to Jingzhao Mansion to watch.

The three princes and nine kings in the yamen were also present, and Zhao Xin, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat down solemnly and slapped the wood in shock.

He said in a deep voice: "Ascend to the court! Bring the prisoner up!"

The people crowded outside the yamen craned their necks to look inside.

The yamen lobby was quite a distance from the doorway, and although they couldn't see the people in the lobby clearly, they could see the prisoners who had been brought into the hall.

Liu He and Liu Han, father and son, as well as dozens of officials, were escorted up and knelt down in the yamen hall.

When the people watching outside the gate saw those people, they immediately became in an uproar.

"Look, is that person Liu Yishan's brute uncle Liu He? I didn't expect him to be there!"

"If Liu Yishan hadn't had an uncle who was Jing Zhaoyin, he wouldn't have known how many times he would have died!

This time, his uncle was also tried for corruption, and sure enough, it is not a family that does not enter the door, and he will kill himself if he commits many injustices, phew!

"So many corrupt officials...... Alas, fortunately, they were all found out, I hope the emperor can punish them severely!"

The people whispered excitedly, they were fed up with the oppression and humiliation of these corrupt officials, and such a scene was simply very pleasant.
