Lord Cao has dark skin and belongs to the kind of five-short figure, but his face is the appearance of a traitor, and when he laughs at this time, he is particularly hateful.

Lord Cao also said to me: "Thank you, Lord Zhang, for hanging down as an official." ”

He looked fearless, as if he had eaten me, thinking that I would capsize in the gutter this time.

It was a good hand, but I played it like this.

Yuan Zhen looked down calmly, and then asked Lord Yushi, "Do you have any evidence?" ”

Lord Yushi said: "Back to the emperor, naturally there is." ”

As Lord Yushi spoke, he said to me, Master Zhang, hand over the evidence. I answered, handed over the evidence, and handed over the account book and even the roster, and after Yuan Zhen took it, he pressed it on the table and didn't look at it. I waited for about an hour or two.

Then I saw the guards who had searched my house come back, but they had nothing on their hands.

Master Cao immediately asked, "Cow guard, where is the box?" ”

The Niu guard replied, "Back to Your Majesty, there is no gold in Lord Zhang's mansion at all. After these words, the entire court became stunned for a few seconds.

Even Mishi looked at me in surprise, his eyes full of doubt.

But I didn't explain it at this point.

At this time, I stood up and said, "Master Cao, are you spewing blood?" Slander the official? What are your intentions? ”

After I finished speaking, Lord Cao's face became difficult to look at, and he couldn't say it clearly, his black face was flushed, and he didn't say anything famous for a long time. I didn't wait for him to speak, and then said: "Mo is not Lord Cao, he was instructed by someone to frame this official, today in front of the emperor, as long as Lord Cao admits it, this official can not hold Lord Cao responsible." ”

How dare Lord Cao say it.

Yuan Zhen also opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Cao, what's going on?" ”

Lord Cao didn't say a word, he knelt on the ground with a puff and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows your mistake, Your Majesty should not wish Lord Zhang, and please punish Your Majesty." ”

This old thing is quite cunning, and he doesn't tell who is behind it.

But falsely accusing me is not a capital crime, at most I will be pulled out and beaten dozens of boards. Yuan Zhen didn't wait, so he asked the Niu guards to drag Master Cao down to play the board. Outside, the screams of Lord Cao rang out.

In the entire hall, it suddenly became quiet, and I saw that Zhao Gao, who was standing above, also looked a little unpleasant.

The crown prince is even more so.

Yuan Zhen began to open the evidence I handed over, and after reading it, his face became gloomy, his brows furrowed, and then he slammed the table and said, "Prince, what else do you have to explain?" ”

The crown prince knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, he must have wronged him, these account books and everything are forged, and the minister has never done anything." ”

Yuan Zhen asked me, "Master Zhang, do you have any other evidence?" ”

I said yes, and then I asked people to go to Zhang's Mansion to bring witnesses over, and when they arrived at the court to see the emperor, they were already frightened and pale, where did they dare to lie, they knelt on the ground at that time, and kept kowtowing, like this kind of magistrate, usually have no chance to see the emperor at all, and they are even more excited at this time.

Yuan Zhen said calmly: "Get up and speak." ”

Then several people all shook out, how to divide the spoils, how to embezzle the disaster relief money.

These words sounded in the hall, and at this moment, I seemed to have heard hundreds of thousands of unjust souls complaining here, accusing Prince Hu Su of such cruel means, but there is an old saying that is good, if you want people not to know, you can't do anything unless you do.

Yuan Zhen's face also turned pale.

The prince's accusations are simply too numerous to write.

The next second, I saw the prince kneeling on the ground with a puff and said, "Please ask the emperor to spare his life." ”

The prince confessed so quickly, it really surprised me.

Yuan Zhen looked at the prince coldly, and then said, "Prince, don't you have anything to defend yourself?" Most of the officials' faces became difficult to see, and no one dared to squeak at this time, there are many people here who have connections with the prince.

But at this time, no one came out to intercede with the prince.

The prince waited for Yuan Zhen to finish saying this, and he couldn't say it clearly, his mental quality itself was poor, and he was supported by Li Si before.

Li Si is gone, and he can't help it even more.

But what I didn't expect was that the prince suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Gao and said, "It's him, all of this was instructed by Zhao Gao, it's all him, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Zhao Gao's face suddenly became difficult to look at, he never thought that the prince would push the responsibility cleanly.

Zhao Gao immediately knelt down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand what he is saying, the minister is innocent." ”

Yuan Zhen snorted coldly and said: "Is it innocent, after the investigation, the truth will naturally be revealed." ”

"Someone! Take down Zhao Gao and put him in prison. ”

Soon someone stepped forward to arrest Zhao Gao and escort him to the prison, watching this dead eunuch being taken away, I felt extremely comfortable.

"Now I have an order, from now on, abolish the identity of Prince Hu Su, remove all his positions, confine himself to the prince's mansion, and not be allowed to go out." For a moment, Hu Su's body seemed to have lost its strength, and it was directly soft to the ground.

"Take him down." Yuan Zhen said unceremoniously.

When the prince passed by me, he looked at me with a vicious eye, and jumped up, scratched me, and asked me, "What about the ten chests of gold?" How do you do that? ”

I didn't hide it, and said, "You and Zhao Gao sent it to my mansion last night, and I sent it to the palace to confiscate the treasury with the back foot." ”

Hu Su's eyes dimmed instantly.

He probably knew he was losing, and he lost completely.

There were also several officials in Shucheng present, at this time they knelt on the ground again, trembling, looking extremely frightened, Yuan Zhen also quickly ordered, directly dragged down and beheaded all, and then raided the house, a few people were scared to pee their pants on the spot, but they also deserved it.

At this point, the big picture has been decided.

Yuan Zhen told me that the Shucheng flood corruption case tried this time will be handed over to Lord Zhang for full trial.

I said a word of commandment.

"Retreat."

After Yuan Zhen finished speaking, he withdrew.

The ministers also retreated one after another, and when they went outside, they came to congratulate me and congratulate me.

Now that my only mortal enemy is gone, I am the only one on the road to the Son of Heaven, and the future Son of Heaven is likely to be me, so it is understandable that these ministers are talking to me.

I waited for Lord Goshi, and walked out with him, and I said to Lord Goshi, "Thank you for doing your best for me just now." ”

Lord Yushi, an old fritter who has been up and down in officialdom for decades, just heard that I had received the gold from Zhao Gao and Hu Su, and he was actually in a mess, and he directly sued the prince for me, this kindness is indeed worthy of my memory and gratitude.

Lord Yushi waved his hand and said: "This is what the old man should do, Lord Zhang is not as good as remembering, but Lord Zhang surprised the old man, and he really underestimated Lord Zhang before." ”

I said to Lady Goshi, "I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you in advance, which made you worried. ”

Lord Goshi said: "It's correct not to say it, it's always good to have a little castle in officialdom." ”

We talked and laughed all the way, and when we arrived at the door of Lord Yushi, Lord Yushi took the initiative to invite me into the house, and I was still a little flattered.

When I arrived at the house, Lord Yushi, let my subordinates make me tea, and then Lord Yushi also said to me: "Lord Zhang, Your Majesty has given you a smooth road, and you have to handle the next case well." ”

I hummed and said I knew.

"When this case is over, the old man will join the ministers to write a letter and nominate Master Zhang."

I didn't pretend to be anything at this time, and just said thank you.

When I was about to say goodbye, Lord Yushi didn't forget to remind me: "Lord Zhang, although it seems that the victory is in hand now, you can't take it lightly, after all, the Queen Mother is still there." ”

I said thank you for your advice, I was taught.

When I returned from the Imperial Palace, I saw an endless stream of people coming and going from the Zhang Mansion, and I asked the housekeeper, "Who are these people?" ”

The housekeeper told me that they were all here to give gifts.

I said to the butler, "Go back."

The housekeeper answered, and did not dare to delay, so he went to do it quickly. When I returned to Zhang's house, everyone heard the news and was very happy.

I kept my sanity at this point, because I knew that what Mishi said was right.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that they would actually use this method against me.
