As soon as Cao Li's words came out, the court was suddenly silent and even heard a needle falling.

And that Shuntianfu Yin Zhanghao was even more trembling directly, as if he was going to faint in the next second.

"Zhang Hao, is this what you mean by Guotai and Min'an? Open your eyes wide to see how more than 60 people from 17 households in Nanping Village died tragically! ”

Zhang Hao kowtowed a few times, "Your Majesty, Weichen really doesn't know about this!" ”

"Zhang Hao, Kyoto is within your jurisdiction, you actually let this kind of thing happen right under your nose, and now you dare to tell me that you don't know? All right! You are really my good love, I don't even know what I am spending so much money to raise you! So that you can tell me at this time, don't you know anything? ”

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Anger? How do you let me calm my anger? Such a serious matter has only been known now, if it weren't for Cao Li to investigate the case, then the seventeen families in Nanping Village would have died so unexplained? "Seriously, Yan Feifei is really angry, these are more than sixty innocent lives, as well as the elderly and children.

Li Yanxin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is heart-wrenching at this time, but what makes Weichen even more puzzling is that Weichen's subordinate Cao Li went to Yaoshan to handle the case, and Weichen, as Cao Li's top boss, why didn't he know anything about this time?" ”

Yan Feifei never thought that Li Yanxin would ask this question in the court, but what he said was true, let Cao Li secretly investigate the case without informing Li Yanxin in advance, according to Dayan's laws, it is also unruly, Li Yanxin is raising this question now, even Yan Feifei is not reasonable.

She was a little flustered for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Yan Feifei's demeanor completely fell into Li Yanxin's eyes, and he sneered in his heart, this Yan Feifei is just a hairy boy who has not dried up, relying on cooperating with Xie Chengli and dealing with Li Zhi, does he really think that he can control everything in the court? It's really naïve.

At this time, Xie Chengli, who had not spoken, finally spoke, and he said to Li Yanxin: "Lord Li, it was personally instructed by Your Majesty to let Lord Cao go to Yaoshan to investigate the case, Lord Li is questioning Your Majesty's success?" ”

"Master Taifu said with a smile, how dare Weichen question Your Majesty? It's just that the law of this Great Yan is here, even if it is Your Majesty, it shouldn't be easily violated, right? If Your Majesty doesn't take this law seriously, then who else will obey the entire Great Yan? What's more, Weichen just wants His Majesty a reasonable explanation, is it that His Majesty refuses to ask for such a point? ”

The two of them went back and forth against each other, which made the atmosphere above the court tense again for a while.

At this time, Xie Chengli took out a letter from his arms, put it in front of Li Yanxin, and said, "I don't know if Lord Li has read this letter?" ”

Li Yanxin's eyes deepened, and the smile on his face stiffened, "I've never seen it." ”

Xie Chengli continued, "A few days ago, Your Majesty and I received such a letter of impeachment of Zhang Zuo, a cabinet scholar, saying that Zhang Zuo had encroached on good land, and there were also human and material evidence, but Your Majesty knew that Zhang Zuo was not such a person, in order to prevent Zhang Zuo from being wronged, and in order to return the truth of this matter, His Majesty entrusted Cao Li to Yaoshan to investigate the matter. ”

Zhang Zuo also replied: "That's right. ”

Li Yanxin snorted coldly, "Lord Taifu, don't misinterpret what I mean, I have no objection to His Majesty sending Cao Li to investigate the case, I just wonder why I can't tell me, is it possible that Lord Taifu thinks that this impeachment letter was sent by me on purpose." ”

Xie Chengli smiled slightly, "What Master Li said is not right. ”

"What do you mean?"

"This letter was handed over by Luo Peng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and this Luo Peng is your brother-in-law, Lord Li, in order to avoid suspicion, it is natural not to inform Lord Li of this matter, right?"

"You!" Li Yan raised his eyebrows in a cold eyebrow, and then he looked towards the ministers, wanting to find Luo Peng.

But Xie Chengli said with a smile: "Is Master Li looking for Luo Peng?" If I remember correctly, Luo Peng took a leave of absence today because he was unwell, but Master Li still didn't believe it, and he wanted to find Luo Peng to come over and confront him face to face? ”

Li Yanxin's face darkened with anger, and then he said to Yan Feifei: "Your Majesty, Weichen already knows what Your Majesty means by this, thank you Master Taifu for solving your doubts!" The last sentence can be said to be Li Yanxin gritted his teeth.

Yan Feifei, who was sitting on the dragon chair, really let out a bad breath, making this Li Yanxin question her so arrogantly just now!

Yan Feifei couldn't help himself from laughing, and continued to get down to business, "Since Master Taifu has already solved Lord Li's doubts. So now, is it okay to continue to talk about Nanping Village? Cao Li, you tell everything you find completely. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, after I received His Majesty's order that day, I went to Yaoshan to find the old couple, but after asking around, no one knew where they had gone, even their wives and children had disappeared not long ago, and then I came to the so-called piece of Zhang Zuo Zhang mentioned in the compromise." Encroachment on the 'fertile land, found that the acres of land are not an inch of grass, even the soil is strange black, and according to Mr. Zhang, the old couple years ago is because the land can not grow food, so they want to sell this to Mr. Zhang, afterwards I also asked the people around, but at this time, this side has been able to clear the suspicion for Mr. Zhang, but I see that this land is really not normal, so I continued to ask the people around me, only to find that something is wrong, I didn't know that the land here is abnormal, Nanping Village under Yao Mountain, is the most serious, the minister realized the seriousness of this matter, and immediately played to His Majesty。 ”

Cao Li simply told what he had investigated, and easily took off the hat of 'encroaching on good land' for Zhang Zuo, and let all the ministers understand the seriousness of this matter.

Cao Li continued: "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, whether it is the black water left on Yao Mountain or the tragic death of the people in Nanping Village, it is strange everywhere, we must investigate it deeply and seek justice for the people of Nanping Village!" ”

Yan Feifei nodded, "What Lord Cao said is right, whether this matter is a natural disaster or man-made, it must be thoroughly investigated and given an explanation to the people who died tragically in Nanping Village, do you have any other ideas?" ”

The ministers looked at each other, "The ministers will obey Your Majesty's holy decree." ”

Yan Feifei didn't fight when she saw them like this, she listened to her everything, so what do you want these ministers to do?
