The interrogation apparently reached an impasse and even had a tendency to evolve into a joke.

Zhu Qi couldn't help but shake his head, so he had to order this brocade guard Qianhu to withdraw, and then said slowly: "Come on, please ask Zhejiang Xie Yuan Xu Qian and common people Xu Fu to go to the palace." ”

Xu Qian and Xu Fu had already entered the palace, but they were not qualified to enter the palace, but were invited to the small hall on the side to wait.

Sitting here eating tea, Xu Fu looked very uneasy, his eyes didn't dare to look around, he didn't sit, he didn't stand, he looked at Xu Qian, who was calm and composed, and finally regained some courage, and couldn't help but think in his heart, I am older than my cousin, but he is not surprised, but I am far inferior to him.

Thinking like this in his heart, Xu Fu couldn't help sighing in his heart, and finally regained a little courage, and waited anxiously for half an hour, and finally heard the sound of someone singing and inviting them to the temple.

After hearing this, Xu Qian got up and said, "Let's go, cousin, don't lose your honor later, you can do whatever I do." ”

Xu Fu's chick nodded like pecking rice, and his body couldn't help but get closer to Xu Qian, as if only by getting close to him could he increase some sense of security.

Xu Fu followed Xu Qian out of the small hall with a mood of seven up and eight down, and then was led by the eunuch to the outside of the Chongdian, Xu Qian straightened his clothes, straightened the scarf on his head, Xu Fu also reluctantly smoothed the folds on his sleeves, and followed Xu Qian inside.

The door is actually not far from the hall, but as soon as they entered, there were countless eyes looking at them, this light of eyes with their own hearts made Xu Fu's heart tremble, standing here, which identity is ten times more noble than him, which one is impossible to face his existence, but today, he is a nobody, he has become the focus of these big people, and he has to go to see his cousin Xu Qian, Xu Qian is calm. The experience of being a human being in two lives is more or less accustomed to seeing the world, and there are many such film and television scenes in later generations, although the scenes in the film and television may not be the same as reality, but they are roughly close.

Xu Qian stepped into the hall, knelt down, and bowed in the direction of Jiajing: "Student Xu Qian, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Xu Fu was stunned for a moment, and then he was busy learning from the others. Said: "The villain Xu Fu, I have seen His Majesty." ”

Jiajing sat behind the imperial case with an expressionless face, and said indifferently: "Flat." ”

The two stood up, and Xu Qian saluted to the three chief judges: "The students have seen the three adults. ”

Xu Fu remembered Xu Qian's instructions, Xu Qian was a famous person. Besides, he still raised people, so he could perform the student salute, and he was a commoner, so he should naturally kneel down, Xu Fu hurriedly knelt down and said, "The villain has seen all the adults." ”

In terms of etiquette, it seems that Xu Qian is also quite particular. It is rumored that this Xu Qian is arrogant, so many people have preconceived ideas that this guy is just a madman. Arrogant, no one in his eyes, although he has some talent, he never takes others in his eyes. But now everyone looked at Xu Qian. It's not the same as the impression, this guy is polite. He also has a good skin, warm as jade, and his demeanor is very gentlemanly. As a result, many people are suspicious, but one thing can be confirmed, the rumors are inevitably a little distorted.

Zhu Qi's face softened, and he nodded and said, "Xu Jieyuan's name, the official also knows a little bit about it, you wait on the side, and wait for the official to ask Xu Fu." ”

Xu Qian nodded and stood aside, he felt a pair of eyes looking at him like a knife, his gaze raised slightly, and met this gaze, seeing that this person was not wearing an official uniform, but also standing on one side, he guessed in his heart that this person must be Wang Feng.

The enemy was naturally very red when they met, the original two people formed a bond, but it was just a trivial matter, but this Lord Yin of Shuntian Mansion did not have enough stomach, and as a result, he had to make things bigger, and now it has reached the point of not dying, Xu Qian just glanced at him coldly, and then turned his gaze to the side.

Zhu Qi had already asked at this time: "Xu Fu, are you the owner and shopkeeper of Ruyi Fang?" The affairs of this wishful fang are all handled by you, right? ”

Xu Fu replied honestly: "Yes." ”

Zhu Qi said again: "So what is the relationship between you and Xu Qian?" ”

Xu Fudao: "Cousin." ”

Zhu Qi smiled slightly and continued: "There are rumors in the market, your cousin Xu Qian is also involved in the operation of Ruyi Fang, is it true? ”

Xu Fu glanced at Xu Qian, and then replied: "Yes, Ruyi Fang was built under the idea of my cousin. ”

Everyone thought that Xu Fu would deny it, but who knew that people would answer so frankly, so the buzzing discussion rose and fell again.

Zhu Qi had to say, "Be quiet." Continue to ask Xu Fu: "So, this deal also has Xu Qian's share, right?" ”

Xu Fu didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Qi smiled coldly and said: "The old man once worked in the Ministry of Rites, but he remembered a few school rules, and students are not allowed to pursue profits, Xu Qian, you are a student, you want to come to the school rules to memorize quite familiarly." ”

Xu Qian stood up and said, "My lord Mingjian, students are just participating in shares, what does it have to do with profit-seeking?" If a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, if he can't even participate in shares, then isn't it profit-seeking for the gentry to buy land and hire tenant farmers to cultivate it? There is also a court that collects taxes every year, isn't this profit-seeking? The hundred officials of the imperial court get the imperial court every year, which can be regarded as profit-seeking. Therefore, because the students are not pursuing profits, they do not care about their actions, but in their hearts, and the students open Ruyi Workshop in order to serve the country, and as for the word profit-seeking, they really can't afford it. ”

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty listened to Xu Qian's 'reversal of black and white', and glared angrily one by one, obviously Xu Qian's so-called concept was contrary to them, but it was difficult to question it because this was an interrogation in front of the emperor.

However, Wang Feng felt this kind of feeling, sneered, and stood up and said: "Nonsense, you say that the preparation of Ruyi Fang is to serve the country, so the old man asks you, what is the benefit of Ruyi Fang to the country?" ”

Xu Qian said: "The inner library in the palace ......"

Halfway through his speech, he was interrupted by Wang Feng with a sneer, and said, "Do you want to contribute to the inner library of the palace?" Xu Qian, you are really bold, the ministers of all dynasties, which one is not exploiting the people and increasing the income of the treasury in the palace? The people are in rags, and the people have no food and clothing, just to satisfy the selfish desires in the palace, which is also called beneficial to the country? In my opinion, you are deceiving the Son of Heaven and satisfying the Son of Heaven through Ruyi Fang! ”

When he said this, he could clearly see that many ministers were nodding their heads.

In their view, the emperor's selfish desires cannot be satisfied, and the people who generally satisfy the emperor's selfish desires are often traitors and thieves.

Wang Feng talked eloquently and said: "Your Majesty was so sage, just ascended the throne, and got rid of the maladministration of the previous dynasty, one of which is to dismiss the eunuchs in various places, just because these eunuchs exploited the people, and accumulated money and included them in the palace. But now, what is the difference between the Ruyi Workshop and the former town guard's mansion? Since you are a living person, you should be a saint and a saint, why do you have no character at all, just for your own selfishness, to bewitch the Son of Heaven, and do such a great rebellion? ”

Wang Feng's combat effectiveness is still very strong, in fact, in the edict, he was bored, thinking about how to deal with today's incident, so he had already made a draft in his stomach, and now he said it, it was clear and clear, and every word was sharp.

He even felt a little proud, he was the criminal official who was tried, but after his clever words, now he has become the chief judge, and Xu Qian has become the person who is to be punished.

Xu Qian didn't refute Wang Feng, but looked at Zhu Qi and the others, and said, "My lord, Wang Feng is obviously a criminal minister, and now he is talking nonsense in the palace and demagoguery, don't the adults come to stop it?" ”

Cheng Zhang and Yang Kang didn't say anything, and turned their eyes to the side.

Zhu Qi faced Xu Qian's questioning, but replied indifferently: "Since it is the imperial trial, there is nothing wrong with expressing your own opinions, he can say it, you can say it too." ”

The implication is that people don't regard Wang Feng as a criminal at all, and on the surface, the presiding judges are acting impartially, but their hearts are still biased towards Wang Feng after all.

Xu Qian suddenly became a little angry, and said coldly: "That's not right, now it's not about discussing the scriptures and righteousness, it turns out that interrogating the criminal officer can also make him talk nonsense, and the adult seems to be unfair." ”

Zhu Qi's old face turned red, but he said angrily: "Presumptuous, he can speak, you can also speak, what he said is not unreasonable, and the key to this case is whether Ruyifang is as rumored to be, is to collect people's wealth and please the palace, you can answer well, the official will distinguish between right and wrong." ”

At this time, there were already many people in the court who were overjoyed, obviously Xu Qian was not very good at being a man, and he actually offended the chief judge, and looking at Xu Qian's appearance, it seemed that there was nothing to be done about Wang Feng's generous statement for a while, whether this case can be turned over depends on the next short moment and a half of effort.

Wang Feng had the upper hand, and suddenly came to the spirit, and said with a cold smile: "What the official said is the first sin of this Ruyi Fang, and the second sin of this Ruyi Fang is to collude with businessmen, on the one hand, to please the palace, on the other hand, to protect the status of businessmen, several of which are even more appalling, Ruyi Fang has set up a private chamber of commerce, and has set up a number of official positions in the chamber of commerce, what businessmen have committed crimes, they can fight lawsuits for them, and they can communicate with the government, everyone, once this precedent is opened, then businessmen will inevitably be arrogant, and they often have thousands of dollars in their pockets, There are also people who protect it, and when they open this door, they are afraid that the villain will abandon the farm for profit, and the abuse will be even worse. If it continues, the world will have to be in chaos. ”

Wang Feng glared at Xu Qian fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Qian, you are reading the book of sages, and you also know the harm of businessmen, but you know that this is the case, but you are still like this, so it seems that it is not the old man who is plotting against you, but you, you know the law and break the law, disturb the discipline, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”
