Chapter 167
Dali Temple merged the cases of Zhou Hong and Qiao Liping, which is known as the Yandao case. γLatest chapter reading. γ
On the day of the trial, Zhou Hong and Qiao Liping were escorted to the lobby at the same time, and the Dali Temple sat on the hall, and there were other scribes and others in the hall to record the files. The sage attached great importance to the Yandao case, and specially sent Tong Wenyi, a member of the Zhongshu House, to observe.
Although Zhou Hong was locked and taken into Beijing to defend himself, he was not deprived of his official position, so he stood in the court, while Qiao Liping was arrested on charges of dereliction of duty and bribery while in office.
Dali Temple Qing Fu Jin has been relied on by saints for many years, and he can also be regarded as the minister of the humerus. He was in his early fifties, with a thick beard and a rather dignified hand, and his sharp eyes scanned the hall and opened his mouth for interrogation.
"Name?"
"Qiao Liping."
"Official position?"
"The two Huai salt transport envoys know the same."
ββ¦β¦β
After asking and answering in the hall, he was very peaceful at the beginning, and when he touched the core issue, Qiao Liping took a bite.
ββ¦β¦ According to this dossier, you colluded with the salt lord Gong Jiang to obtain the profit of illegal salt by selling official salt, can you plead guilty? β
Qiao Liping prepared for a few days, waiting for this moment. He immediately retorted: "My lord, the lower officials did not collude with the salt lords to sell illicit salt, but Lord Zhou announced his personal vendetta and was dissatisfied with the lower officials, so he arbitrarily charged the lower officials." "Anyway, Gong Jiang is dead, and there are no witnesses, who can prove that he colluded with Gong Jiang?!
Zhou Hongli was in the lobby, his eyebrows were not raised, and the officials in the hall were stunned by Qiao Liping's testimony, and the scribe forgot to put down the pen while holding the pen, and a drop of ink dripped down, and suddenly an ink spot leaked out on the testimony.
Dali Temple Qing Fu Jin secretly said: Zhou Qianke's reputation resounded throughout the Great Wei, and his boldness was really unusual. In such a situation, not only did he not show a panicked look, but he also seemed to be confident, did he not care about the disadvantage that Qiao Liping's testimony brought to him, or did he have another witness?
Fu Jin has tried countless cases in his life, and he has seen all kinds of criminals, but he has never seen Zhou Hong like this.
The result of the preliminary trial of Dali Temple was very unfavorable to Zhou Hong, Qiao Liping took a bite and detained the basin on Zhou Hong's head, and Zhou Hong did not even count the testimony of the dead Gong Jiang because he had no reliable witnesses.
Qiao Liping not only countersued Zhou Hong for falsely accusing his subordinates, but also used his power to run rampant in the land of Lianghuai, wantonly excluded dissidents, colluded with Zhu Mao, the guard of the guard, detained the leaders of the Yan Gang, tortured them in private, and tortured them into tricks, for fear that the crime would be exposed, but he sent people to intercept and kill on the way back to Beijing, and sank his body at the bottom of the river.
After the news spread, it caused an uproar in Beijing, saying everything.
The person who was blocked by Zhou Hong clearly knew that this was a false accusation, but he still gloated and spread it around: "...... Zhou Qianke is not from the army, and he is used to killing, so he doesn't care about the lives of others, and even does this kind of thing! β
What's more, he even doubted: "Zhou Qianke is young and has great achievements, won't these military exploits be watery?" No...... Is it pretending to be a Japanese coward to kill fishermen in the southeast and taking the lead in the army? β
The most sinister thing in this world is the human heart, with malicious speculation that they spare no effort to think about the most unbearable situation, but they also take their conjectures seriously, and there are twists and turns in the imperial history that have doubts about the military achievements of the Zhou family over the years.
The sage coughed with a straight cough, easily gasped for breath, and threw it in front of Tong Wenyi: "Tong Qing, look at these people who only take money all day long and don't do practical things, if I throw them all to guard the southeast, I'm afraid they will already be miserable, and I can't wait to go around the camp and transfer them back to Beijing." Are you really deaf and blind?! β
Tong Wenyi saw that the saint was coughing badly, and he didn't know how to answer. He came here today to retell the trial of the Dali Temple yesterday to the sage, and he didn't want to bump into the Zhou family, which not only wanted to pull Zhou Qianke down, but also poured basins of sewage on him if he couldn't defend himself, so that the salt leather was completely soaked, afraid that he would turn over, and he also wanted the entire Zhou family to be buried with him.
He also knew that this matter was in a hurry, if the Dali Temple was finished, Zhou Qianke had objections to the outcome of the trial, and finally the three divisions would have to be tried, and the sage would decide.
"The saint's cough can't be cured for a long time, Weichen went south this time, and unexpectedly met a folk doctor, and heard her mention that she had also gone to sea to go to the countries of Liuqiu, and it was actually for the Liuqiu royal family to recuperate. Although he is young, his medical skills are really good. The minister also heard that the southeast naval army and the thief Zhang Jiushan fought fiercely on Rongshan Island, thanks to her wonderful medical skills, which saved the lives of many soldiers who were injured and severed. β
He also had selfish intentions in recommending Ye Zhiqing, this girl is really a strange woman, not to mention her medical skills, even her courage is not ordinary. He quietly found someone who knew how to look at the two red coral trees she had sent, and they were treasures in terms of both appearance and condition.
And the saint hinted several times that he also saw it clearly, and it was clear that he didn't want to cure the sin of Zhou Qianke, and he also wanted to suppress the moths in the DPRK and China because of this.
"Is there really such a miracle?" The saint was surprised, the long-term cough made him very irritable, and when he was old, he had little sleep, but sometimes it was easy to fall asleep but he coughed and woke up, which was really annoying. The imperial doctors of the hospital use medicine peacefully, it is easy to save life, but it is difficult to cure it radically.
