Chapter 139

After Gong Jiang's body is almost adjusted, the case should be tried. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

Zhou Hong sent someone to invite Xiao Ye to come, and summoned all the subordinate officials of the envoy and the yamen to come to the trial.

When Qiao Liping heard that it was a case of interrogating the salt gang selling illicit salt, his heart sank, and the people sent out came back to confess, and they all guessed that Gong Jiang had taken poison and died, and he didn't even sleep peacefully, so he was summoned by his boss to hear the trial, and even he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

There are few subordinates of the Si Yamen who are loyal, some of them are wall grass, and the other part is Qiao Liping's diehard.

Zhou Hong has already had a plan in his heart, in addition to Xiao Ye and the subordinate officials of the envoy's office, there are also Duan Lingfeng, the monarch of Yangzhou Mansion, and Wu Kezhuo, the superintendent of the two Huai.

On the day of the trial, Chu Si, Yu Wei of the Salt Gang, and the rest of the big and small leaders, together with the gang leader Gong Jiang, all passed through the court one after another.

The confessions of Chu Si and others had already been recorded, and they were circulated in the hall at this moment, and then they were tried in front of the officials, and when they pleaded guilty to the law, they were taken to court, and Du Gongjiang was tried for the first time.

Zhou Hong was the presiding judge, and Gong Jiang was very cooperative, and halfway through the court, many officials waiting in the hall had changed their faces.

Just because the two Huai officials were involved in too many things, Qiao Liping's face in the hall was already pale, and he pointed at Gong Jiang's nose several times and scolded: "Shameless Diao Min, nonsense!" "Attempted to deny Gong Jiang's confession.

Gong Jiang had already been well prepared, and he shook out the reasons for the convenience that his subordinates had made when they helped everyone pass through various checkpoints, naturally there was someone covering it, and that person Qiao Tongzhi knew it.

Qiao Liping is his liaison with Jingzhong, although he has also met with people in Beijing with his henchmen, but all the trivial matters are still handled by Master Qiao in the middle.

"You talk nonsense! Sling the bull! Qiao Liping almost collapsed on the chair on the spot.

Zhou Hong has worked with him for nearly two years, he really didn't expect Qiao Liping to have today, his eyes swept over Qiao Liping coldly, and asked Wu Kezhuo for instructions: "Master Yushi is responsible for inspection, according to what this official has seen, Gong Jiang and Qiao Liping have already colluded, and this official intends to escort Qiao Liping and the officials involved in the case back to Beijing and hand them over to Dali Temple for interrogation, I don't know what Lord Wu thinks?" ”

Wu Kezhuo actually had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

He has been supervising the imperial history for several years, and has been in Lianghuai for two years, and he actually knows the atmosphere on Lianghuai guān g, especially the salt transportation envoy is a gold mine, but anyone who can get involved with the word salt is all to let go of his arms and put silver in his own pocket, and even with him he has gained a lot of benefits, and Qiao Liping in the past is also compatible.

But no amount of silver is as important as his official hat.

The scary thing is not that Qiao Liping is in prison, but who is standing behind Qiao Liping.

His Majesty is old, and the adult princes are fighting openly and secretly, even if the crown prince is established early, he may not be able to sit in this position. He had also heard from far away in Jiangnan that the seizure of the throne in Beijing had entered a white heat, and many officials had their ups and downs, and today they were full of glory, but tomorrow they would be exiled for thousands of miles if they couldn't say it, and they would be implicated in the game because they couldn't see the situation clearly.

originally thought that Lianghuai was far away from Beijing and would not be involved, but I am afraid that all the officials present in this case in front of me have already been involved.

The surname Zhou's good plan, it is rumored that he is a martial artist, but he didn't expect that his scheming was so deep that he quietly calculated all the officials of the two Huai!

I am afraid that none of the officials who will observe the trial this time will be able to escape in the future.

If the common people are guilty of selling illicit salt, it is a big deal to go to prison and exile or behead them, there are laws to follow, so what if the prince meddles in the salt road and manipulates the people below to sell illicit salt and obtain huge profits?

Wu Kezhuo looked around at everyone present, and saw that several politically sensitive officials had figured out the stakes, and their faces were already frightened. Or maybe these people are simply aware of the reason, and they are also involved, and it is still unknown.

“…… In this case, when the prisoners are interrogated clearly, they will be escorted back to Beijing together! Wu Kezhuo could only conclude that way.

Zhou Hong showed a slight smile on his face, and suddenly said sharply: "Come on, take off Qiao Liping's official uniform and hat, and put him in prison, everyone in the family will be imprisoned, and Qiao's mansion will be sealed, and after the case is over, follow the will of Jingzhong and deal with it!" ”

Qiao Liping's whole person slumped on the chair: "The surname is Zhou, you can't do this!" The official is ordered by the imperial court, and you retaliate against the official...... You are a communiqué personal vendetta! ”

Since Zhou Hong came to Lianghuai to take office, he has been secretly stumped by Qiao Liping, he has been very embarrassed, and he is also kind and pleasant when he sees Qiao Liping on weekdays, but he doesn't seem to have felt his malice at all, but he didn't expect it to be all returned today!

Several of the people who were interrogated inside were Qiao Liping's henchmen, and they followed him to oppose Zhou Hong, so they wanted to collectively avenge Qiao Liping, and turned their heads and knelt down towards Wu Kezhuo: "Lord Wu, Lord Qiao is wronged!" "Everyone is on the same rope
