Chapter 167: Revenge Returns

Master Zhang waved his hand and sent the person away, and the mood that had been depressed all morning was finally more comfortable.

What about Gu Xian Zainiu? I don't have to listen to him yet!

……

In the following days, what Gu Xian did every day was to copy the files, and Master Zhang thought that he was teaching Gu Xian a lesson, but Gu Xian was enjoying himself, and he completely regarded copying the files as a relief from boredom.

Sun Zhengxue was arranged to do the matter of Cha Lei split, at first he was really constrained, and he felt that what he did was wrong, and several groups of people secretly sent him silver, but he was afraid that he would have a life to take the lifeless flower, so he could only push it.

Later, I didn't know which master gave him the idea, so he actually checked it with great fanfare.

The people who attended the banquet in King An's Mansion that day were all called to the court, asked one by one, and the results were all the same, the prince was not struck by lightning at all, and those who deliberately harmed the prince with false rumors.

Many people in Beijing watched the process of the trial, and then the matter of the prince being struck by lightning was so easily whitewashed.

Some people want to get a witness to go in and tell the truth, but think about it, the risk is too high, the people who attend the banquet dare not tell the truth, and if the people who do not attend say that they have seen it, they will be slapped in the face in minutes, and finally they can only give up.

……

The prince's people were not idle, it was impossible for Zhang Cong to suddenly jump out to participate in the prince's book, and he clearly meant to abolish the prince at that time.

If it weren't for Gu Xian's proposal, what would the prince have said that day!

So Zhang Cong was targeted.

Before the prince's case was over, Zhang Cong was full of confidence, after all, the person behind him said that everything would be arranged, otherwise he would not have taken such a big risk to join the prince in the early dynasty.

But with the start of Sun Zhengxue's public trial, Zhang Cong was dumbfounded, obviously the calculations of the people behind him were all resolved, not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also successfully stood on the opposite side of the prince, and he still wants to have a good life in the future?

So in the following days, he became more and more cautious.

However, how could there be no black material to sit in the position of a third-grade official in Beijing, and in just over ten days, the prince's people found out that Zhang Cong's servants forcibly bought people's land at a very low price, and used this method to buy a total of more than 1,000 acres of land.

Even if these lands are only bought for five taels and one mu, more than 1,000 mu of land will cost five or six thousand taels of silver, and it is absolutely impossible for a slave to come up with such a large sum of money.

As a result, Sun Zhengxue, the secretary of Dali Temple, received a joint complaint from the common people two days after he was idle, accusing Zhang Cong, the right deputy governor of the three products of the dynasty, for conniving at the servants to rob the fertile land, and wounding and maiming seven people.

Nearly 100 bloody handprints were pressed densely on the joint name.

Moreover, there are more than 100 families in this area who have had their fields robbed, and some people are too timid to come out and tell them.

Sun Zhengxue, who received the paper: ...... I feel that my head is going to be bald, but he still has to pinch his nose and hurry up to handle the case, nearly 100 people sue the three members of the dynasty together, do he dare not pay attention to it?

If he dares to be the next person to be jointly sued by the people, it is him Sun Zhengxue.

So Zhang Cong's servant Liu Zhaoguang was taken to Dali Temple, those who were injured by him all in the hall to correct Liu Zhaoguang for the evil things he did, at first Liu Zhaoguang did not recruit, Sun Zhengxue directly gave him a heavy sentence, and finally he finally confessed that the land was instructed by the master to let him buy, and the annual harvest went into Zhang Cong's pocket, and he Liu Zhaoguang was an errand runner.

Zhang Cong is a third-grade imperial history, and he can't be tortured, so Sun Zhengxue gave the emperor an excerpt and attached a copy of Liu Zhaoguang's confession.

After reading the excerpt, the emperor thought about it, Liu Zhaoguang injured and injured the disabled people and directly sentenced them to the army, and Zhang Cong instructed the evil servants to commit murder and seize the people's land, not only to return all the land, but also to compensate for all the losses of the people, and demote the official to three levels.

Originally, the punishment for Zhang Cong should have been more severe, but remembering that he had made some achievements in his early years, he did not push it to the end.

So Zhang Cong sued him for a large sum of silver, and he had robbed him of his fields for several years, and he would pay ten taels of silver for one acre of land in five years.

The most important thing is that he was demoted, it is easy to demote his official position, the emperor opened his mouth, and his efforts in the past few years have all been in vain, but it will be difficult to be promoted, and he can only stay in the position of the imperial history from the fourth rank for the rest of his life.

On the day Zhang Cong changed his office, he glared at Gu Xian fiercely, "Seeing that the old man was demoted, Lord Gu should be very happy!" ”

Gu Xian: ...... Why are you being rectified by the prince, what happened to Lao Tzu? Even if you are demoted to a commoner, it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu, right?

"I'm really happy, after all, I don't have to copy those inexplicable files in the future."

Zhang Cong: ...... When the two met yesterday, Gu Xian had to claim to be a lower official.

Today he dares to say that he is the official, heh!

Although the old man has been demoted today, does he know that he will not be reinstated tomorrow, or even go to the next level?

"You, you wait for me!"

Gu Xian is leaving, this Zhang Cong has to say one more sentence, Gu Xian turned back directly, and pointed to a small official, "Go, take out those files on my desk and send them to Lord Zhang's room, you must copy them within one day today, and if you can't finish copying, you are not allowed to go home, otherwise tomorrow the official will go to Lord Zhang in the morning." ”

Zhang Cong: ...... I'll fuck your uncle's Gu Xian!

Although Gu Xian didn't hear Zhang Cong's heart, he could also think of what he was thinking.

There's no way, he didn't take Zhang Cong seriously, he bumped to himself, he just was promoted two levels in a row, there are many people in the inspectorate who don't like him, if he doesn't do something, I'm sorry for the chicken sent to the door!

glanced around, and sure enough, the eyes of the people around him changed.

Gu Xian was satisfied, paced in all directions with his hands behind his back, and slowly walked to his office room.

……

The War King has been investigating the assassins of that day for a while, and finally found some news last night, but when he led people over, the people disappeared from the small courtyard where they were being watched for some reason, and the courtyard was almost dug three feet into the ground, and finally found a tunnel near the dawn of the morning.

It's just that, when I touched the tunnel, there were a lot of mechanisms set up in the tunnel, and the three elites were swept by the hidden weapon and were injured, and the hidden weapon was poisonous, but fortunately, the poison was controlled after eating the antidote pill prepared in advance.

Then the soldiers were very careful, and it took more than an hour to finally find the exit.

The exit was at the innermost part of the alley, and some of the debris blocking it was pushed away, and soldiers came out of the exit one by one.

At first, these people didn't know where they were, but when they came out of the alley and saw the pedestrians coming and going on the street, as well as the noisy shouting, they found that not far away was the first green building in the capital.
