Ji Zhenyuan only heard Gu Ruoming say that Xie Rong was visiting the private kiln, and he didn't know that his son-in-law was also on the list, so he only let Wu Xu come with him, and on the way to the palace, he heard Zuo Bizhi say that Guo Xing was also included, and he was still arrested, and suddenly his face sank so much that he could wring out water.

At this point, of course, anger in private is one thing, and it is important to pass the emperor first. So, he turned to Jin Yong first, "Before letting them explain, I want to ask Lord Jin, how did you know that the place where Xie Rong, Guo Xing and the others stayed was a private kiln?" ”

Ginger is still old and spicy. The opening hit the nail on the head.

Since it is a private kiln, of course, there is nothing to see on the face, neither a sign nor a publicity. Even if someone goes, it is also a regular customer with a regular customer, since Jin Yong is a righteous gentleman, why would he know that the private prostitute is a private prostitute as soon as he enters?

The emperor looked at Jin Yong. Jin Yong really paused, he and Rong Enbo looked at each other, and replied: "Ji Ge Lao Xu regards Xia Guan as a saint who doesn't know the fireworks in the world. According to what you say, if you don't get into private prostitution, you don't know what private prostitution is, so if you don't cultivate the private morality of hundreds of officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, don't you have to go through it yourself? The case of my participation in Caoyun, does it have to be completed by participating in a round of profit-making? ”

Ji Zhenyuan said: "What do you mean, you don't know that it is a private prostitute, dare to ask Jin Yushi on what basis does he believe that it is a private prostitute?" Could it be that it was a private tea party set up by a literati and scholars, and Guo Xie and the others came to cheer up? You just see these people in the garden, and you are sure that they are prostitutes, and there must be evidence to convince them. ”

"The evidence is there." Jin Yong was calm. He said to the emperor: "The minister asks the emperor to allow the prostitutes in Xuanxiang Garden to enter the palace as evidence." ”

The Emperor waved his hand impatiently.

The eunuch went out, and the person he brought in timidly was Cai Wei.

Cai Wei stood next to Xie Rong, bit her lip and glanced at him, and knelt down as well.

Jin Yongdao: "What's your name?" ”

Cai Wei looked at Xie Rong again and replied, "Cai Wei." ”

Jin Yong said again: "How long have you been a prostitute in the private prostitution opened by Bu Shengxiang?" ”

Cai Wei didn't know what the hall had argued about before, and when she heard him ask, she had to answer. Ji Zhenyuan coughed from the side. The Emperor glared at him, and he hung his head. Cai Wei didn't know what kind of dumb riddle they were playing, and she didn't know who was on whose side. Biting his lip. replied: "Concubine, concubine has only been there for a short time." ”

This sentence proves everything! The emperor's face was as gloomy as water.

Ji Zhenyuan's eyes were furrowed, and the gaze he cast on Jin Yong was full of resentment. On the ground, Guo Xing and Gu Ruoming were covered with sweat, and it was unknown how heavy the remorse in their stomachs was.

The one who regrets it the most should be Gu Ruoming. Originally, this should have been the time when he raised his eyebrows in the Ji Mansion to see Xie Rong's jokes. I didn't expect to suddenly kill Cheng to bite the gold. Putting himself and Xie Rong together has become a joke in Jin Yong's eyes! This is really stealing chickens and rice, and it's hard to say whether this level can be passed safely at the moment, but it's over. Ji Zhenyuan's side doesn't have anything to ask for!

Jin Yong pointed at Xie Rong and Guo Xing, "How many times have you seen these two?" ”

Cai Wei's face turned pale and said, "No, there is no ......"

"Honestly! If there is a discrepancy, it is a crime of deception! ”

Jin Yong scolded violently, and Cai Wei trembled.

The emperor looked at the ground, snorted coldly, and also drank ginseng tea sideways.

Cai Wei's face turned pale, and she lowered her head and said, "I've seen it, Third Master Xie and Uncle Guo four times." ”

Jin Yong looked at Ji Zhenyuan, Ji Zhenyuan gritted his teeth tightly and was silent. The emperor laughed, his eyes cold.

"What do they do every time they come? Who has each of them entertained? Jin Yong asked again.

"No ......"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to interrogate, the minister did go to the private prostitution hall. Lord Guo was brought by the criminal minister, please ask the emperor to surrender the crime! Before Cai Wei could speak, Xie Rong had already kowtowed to the ground and confessed word by word. Lord Guo just went to drink tea with the guilty ministers today, and did not do anything wrong, please ask the emperor to spare him for the sake of Lord Guo's duty. ”

"Weiping!" Guo Xing straightened up from the ground, and then hurriedly crawled forward: "No, the emperor!" Weiping was brought by the sinner, he is innocent, every time he goes, he just drinks tea, and he doesn't take a step beyond Lei Chi! Beg the emperor to spare him! ”

"No one can spare me today!"

The emperor slammed the dragon case, and the cup of ginseng tea on the table jumped up and almost fell to the ground. "Xie Rong, you are a Jinshi in Qingping for five years, I remember your good article! At that time, Ji Ge Lao also strongly recommended you to me, saying that you have both talent and morality, and your private behavior is very good, as long as you carve it carefully, you will become a great tool in the future!

"I also appreciate you very much, and I think that my Great Yin Dynasty is finally going to produce another capable minister, so at that time, when Ji Ge Lao tried his best to ask me to give you the vacancy of the post of squire of the Criminal Department, I didn't obstruct it much. I also hope that you will be able to make a difference for me in the position of squire! But that's how you repay me, you've only been a waiter for a few days, and you've indulged yourself to the point of going to a prostitute! If I don't do it, I'm ashamed of the laws of my ancestors! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Ji Zhenyuan saw that the emperor didn't seem to be lying, and knelt down in a hurry, "Your Majesty! Think again! Guo Xing's old minister won't say it, he is the minister's son-in-law, and now if he does such a thing, the emperor will not deal with it, and the old minister will be severely punished when he turns back! But Xie Rong has always sat upright, even if he goes to a private prostitution parlor to sit, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is obsessed with women, and he goes to a private prostitution parlor to drink tea and sit idly, which is essentially different from a prostitute! ”

The Emperor snorted and ignored it.

Jin Yongdao: "Your Majesty, what Ji Ge Lao said is that there is an essential difference between eating tea and sitting idle and staying at a prostitute, and Weichen disagrees. There are a lot of places to eat tea, but you can only eat tea in the kiln? Since you have gone all, why should you be afraid to confess this sin? As the saying goes, both to build a memorial arch and to be a bitch, where is there such a good thing? It's better to admit it happily, and the emperor may be able to give a light sentence as appropriate. ”

The emperor's eyes swept over a circle of people on the ground, and he raised his voice: "Selling fame and fame, his heart can be punished!" ”

Ji Zhenyuan was shocked when he heard this, and raised his head.

Guo Xing and the others were silent.

So far, whether it is Xie Rong voluntarily pleading guilty, Guo Xing having the courage to take responsibility, and Ji Zhenyuan pleading to avoid relatives, they are actually moving towards one goal, that is, to be able to win the emperor's light sentence. Although they knew that with Jin Yong's sharp mouth and Rong Enbo, an eyewitness, the possibility of them getting away with the crime was very small, but they were able to fight from prostitution to sitting idle, and the charges naturally had room for negotiation.

Because since ancient times, it was thought that the so-called literati also had their unruly side, and there were not a few officials from ancient times to the present, but in this dynasty, the law has become stricter. But in private, this kind of thing can't be extinguished, because officials are also people, and they are all powerful men, how many won't be seduced by women?

So far, of course, the officials have to do prostitutes, but because of the prostitutes, there are not many officials who are really punished according to the law, and if the emperor really wants to take care of it, the appointment and dismissal letters of the head officials will be piled up all year round.

This did not happen, which shows that the emperor allowed officials to have some minor faults from a certain point of view. Therefore, even if the crime of prostitution cannot be spared, then as long as the reason for sitting and wandering is established, there is still a chance to turn around.

But this sentence knocked all their hearts into the ice cave.

Ji Zhenyuan still had some belief that Xie Rong would not do such a thing as a prostitute, but the emperor didn't believe it, so it was useless for him to believe it again.

He looked at Jin Yong sideways, and began to feel that all this was a trap tonight, and even Gu Ruoming had become a fish in this net.

"Jin Yong's intentions, Xie Rong, Guo Xing, and Gu Ruoming, knowing the law and breaking the law, each of them was demoted five levels in a row! Execute it now! ”

The emperor flicked his sleeves and stood up, and Jin Yong said sharply.

"Your Majesty! The concubine still has something to say! ”

Jin Yong was about to accept the order, but Cai Wei, who had always looked like a frightened little white rabbit, suddenly straightened her waist and said.

Everyone in the hall looked at Cai Wei, and being watched by so many pairs of eyes, Cai Wei was a little flustered, and her originally plump lips looked even paler at the moment.

But she looked at Xie Rong, and still had the courage to say: "Your Majesty, Xie, Lord Xie came to Xiangyuan, he really just drank tea and ate wine, and he didn't even touch the slave and maid!" When ordinary men came to us, there were almost no unmoved, and Lord Xie sat still with a true gentleman, didn't it show his noble character even more? ”

No one expected that Cai Wei, who was a prostitute, would intercede for Xie Rong, including the emperor, who was stunned for a while.

And Ji Zhenyuan looked at Cai Wei and then at Xie Rong, who was also looking at Cai Wei, quickly came back to his senses and said, "This woman is right!

"Your Majesty, since it is the prostitutes of the private prostitution hall who personally testify to it, it is natural that they can prove their private virtues! What a true gentleman who doesn't sit still! Your Majesty, why does the law strictly prohibit prostitutes? If officials can be self-disciplined to the point where they have entered the prostitution hall several times and three times, wouldn't it be more indicative of the integrity of the officials? ”

"What does Elder Ji Ge mean, does it mean that Xie Rong should not only not be convicted of going to prostitution with him, but should also be rewarded?" Jin Yong gritted his teeth, pointed at Cai Wei and said, "Prostitutes are obscene people, how can they believe their words?" It's the first time I've heard of a private prostitution just for tea! The emperor is wise and brave, how can he be fooled by you in a few words? ”

Cai Wei shook her shoulders, she looked at the emperor, and kowtowed a few times and said, "Your Majesty, what the concubine said is true!" Mr. Xie and they have been to the museum four times, and each time it was Mr. Xie who I received, and he really didn't have the slightest misdeed! If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can let people test the original body of the concubine! ”

"Primal body?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that you are still a virgin today?" (To be continued.) )
