Chapter 66

After the end of the dynasty this morning, the left attendant of the household department was walking on the way to the household department, and was suddenly surrounded by the yamen wearing the costume of Dali Temple.

Han Danqing walked out from the corner, looked at the left waiter of the household, and said with a smile: "Zhang Shilang, Dali Temple is handling the case, there are some things I want to know about Zhang Shilang, please ask Zhang Shilang to come with us." ”

Zhang Shilang's face was calm, "Then let's go." ”

Han Danqing glanced at Zhang Shilang, didn't see anything, and motioned for Yanai to take people away.

……

After interrogating Zhang Shilang, Han Danqing recorded his confession and handed it to Zhang Shilang to see if there was any problem.

Zhang Shilang read it and made sure that it was similar to what he said, so he signed it very simply.

Han Danqing took the confession and handed it to Qi Huan.

When Qi Huan read the confession, Han Danqing looked at Qi Huan hesitantly, and finally said, "Lord Qi, I think there is something wrong with this Zhang Shilang." ”

Qi Huan motioned for him to continue.

"Since you asked us to arrest Zhang Shilang this morning, Zhang Shilang was not surprised at all when he saw us, as if he had expected it a long time ago, he simply followed us, and when he was interrogated just now, he even confessed to his superiors along the way, I think the person he recruited is not necessarily true."

"You're right, but so what? You think the person he recruited was wronged, but he has evidence. ”

Han Danqing was silent.

Yes, even if he thinks that Zhang Shilang didn't tell the truth? What if you think Zhang Shilang wronged that person?

As long as Zhang Shilang has evidence, then what is false is true, and he has no evidence to prove that the person was wronged, then what is true is false.

You can't think that Zhang Shilang is lying because the process is too smooth because when you are pressuring Zhang Shilang, right?

Qi Huan thought that this person was Ke Xi's cousin, and Ke Xi had feelings for the Korean government.

He patted Han Danqing on the shoulder and persuaded: "Handle the case in Dali Temple, don't be emotional, everything speaks with evidence, if you can't prove that the evidence is fake, then it's true." ”

Therefore, it is useless for you to think that whoever is wronged, it is useful to have evidence to prove that he is wronged.

Qi Huan put away the confession, "Let's see tomorrow, whether he is wronged or not, it depends on whether he has any way to prove that this matter has nothing to do with him." ”

Meaning, if he has no way to prove that the matter is not related to him, then he is not innocent.

As for whether he was wronged, there is no evidence, who believes?

……

The next morning.

"Qi Aiqing, two days have arrived, how is the progress on your side?"

Qi Huan took out the folds that had been prepared a long time ago, as well as everyone's confessions, and went out of the list.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the confession of those rogues, as well as the confession and evidence of Zhang Shilang who confessed to the rogues."

Gonggong Fu walked down, took the things from Qi Huan's hands, and handed them to the emperor.

The Emperor looked at the confession and the evidence.

Seeing Zhang Shilang's confession and evidence behind, the emperor sneered.

"Xu Shangshu, your hand guarding and stealing is very exciting."

Xu Shangshu, who had been standing there looking at his nose and nose, was named, was stunned for a moment, hurriedly came out of the ranks, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" ”

Could it be that there is something wrong with the testimony sent by Qi Huan just now?

But isn't Qi Huan investigating the case of the robbery of the disaster silver? It has nothing to do with him!

"See for yourself."

The Emperor flung the thing downwards and dropped it to the ground.

Xu Shangshu ran up in small steps, picked up the things and opened them.

There was nothing wrong with the testimony of the rogues in front of him, but when he saw that the rogues identified that Zhang Shilang had sent someone to arrange for the rogues to rob the silver, Xu Shangshu was surprised.

When he saw Zhang Shilang's confession that he had received his instructions and arranged for someone to rob the disaster silver, Xu Shangshu blurted out: "He is talking nonsense!" ”

After shouting, he realized that this was on the Jinluan Palace, and the emperor was still sitting on it, for fear that the emperor would treat him for the crime of losing his honor in front of the palace, Xu Shangshu quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the minister has never instructed Zhang Shilang to let him go and rob the disaster silver, please ask the emperor to investigate!"

"You said you were wronged, but the handwriting on the letters with Zhang Shilang was yours? Is the private seal on it fake? ”

“……”

It is a matter of his own net worth and life, Xu Shangshu looks at it carefully, the handwriting is true, and the private seal is naturally true.

But he was sure that he had never had a correspondence with Zhang Shilang, let alone stamped his own private seal on the letters.

If he really instructed Zhang Shilang to rob the disaster silver, wouldn't it be more convenient and safer to convey it verbally?

He and Zhang Shilang have a superior-subordinate relationship, and there is nothing suspicious about meeting Zhang Shilang, so no one would think that he would arrange for Zhang Shilang to rob the disaster silver!

Xu Shangshu understood, and was framed.

The emperor may not know that he was wronged, but if the evidence is conclusive, the emperor will not be on his side.

The emperor glanced at the decadent Xu Shangshu, "Since the evidence is conclusive, then ......"

"Your Majesty." Qi Huan came out to interrupt the emperor, "The minister thinks that Zhang Shilang's identification of Xu Shangshu is full of suspicions, and Xu Shangshu insists that he has been wronged, so it is better to give Xu Shangshu a chance to find evidence and clear his grievances." ”

Xu Shangshu was stunned and looked at Qi Huan.

He didn't expect Qi Huan to stand up and help him speak.

In this situation, everyone should avoid him.

The emperor guessed that Xu Shangshu was designed.

To be honest, after Xu Shangshu became the head of the household department, he didn't make any big mistakes except for the deduction of the rope when he asked him to give the money.

Of course, as the head of the household, Xu Shangshu may be greedy for silver, but as long as Xu Shangshu knows the severity, the emperor will turn a blind eye.

After all, there are not many officials who are not greedy.

Xu Shangshu, the emperor felt that it was still very easy to use, otherwise he would not have let him stay in the position of Hubu Shangshu for more than ten years.

He also wanted to give Xu Shangshu a chance, since Qi Huan gave him the steps, the emperor naturally went down the steps.

The emperor said to Xu Shangshu: "Since Qi Aiqing intercedes for you, and for the sake of your conscientious work in the past ten years, I will believe you once." ”

Xu Shangshu: "Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"But don't be too happy, now that Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, you will have to seal the pen in a few days, so that Shu will give you half a month, and you must hand in the evidence of your innocence on the day of opening, otherwise, Shu will no longer show mercy to your subordinates."

"No."

"If there is nothing to do today, let us retreat."

Fu Gonggong: "Retreat-court-"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live."

When the emperor left the Jinluan Palace, the hundred officials got up and walked outside the hall one after another.

Xu Shangshu saw that Qi Huan was leaving, so he hurriedly caught up and walked side by side with Qi Huan.

The two walked together for a while, and Xu Shangshu saw that Qi Huan didn't take the opportunity to talk to him, and asked for something by the way, so he took the initiative to speak: "I am in the main hall, thank you Lord Qi for speaking for this official." ”
