Chapter 399: Cai Jing's overtures

Kong Duanyou naturally couldn't watch them die, and immediately said loudly:

"The people of my Confucian family will never do such disloyal things, if the official family listens to the villain's framing of loyalty, then the old minister is willing to ask himself for his guilt and resign from the post of Yan Shenggong!"

While speaking, Kong Duanyou rarely knelt for Song Huizong.

This is not only his disguised submission to softness, but also a threat to Song Huizong.

Because everyone knows that governing the world is inseparable from the "Yan Shenggong", otherwise the literati will be chaotic, and the world will be chaotic!

This is the fundamental reason why the emperors of the past dynasties tolerated the Confucian family to do whatever they wanted in Shandong, as long as they were not disturbed by the whole world, no one would and would not dare to punish the people of the Confucian family.

Song Huizong didn't dare before, so he had been holding back his grievances in his stomach for many years, and today the evidence is conclusive and there is a rational sect to replace Confucianism, where is he willing to continue to be held hostage by Kong Duanyou!

He looked at Kong Duanyou coldly and said, "Kong Qing's family, what are you anxious about? The two prime ministers haven't checked the confession yet, why do you think that they are framing them? Could it be that you can predict in advance what the stewards will do?"

"I ......"

Kong Duanyou was asked, and in the face of everyone's strange gazes, he was angry and embarrassed.

And He Zhizhong and Cai Jing saw Song Huizong's attitude, and after carefully reading the confession, they were still angrier than Kong Duanyou, and at the same time glared at Kong Duanyou angrily:

"In order to take revenge on framing Jiang Chen, you actually instigated Confucian officials to conceal the autumn harvest and default on the autumn grain, and you still want to put the blame on Jiang Chen?"

"How bold you are! Do you still have a national society in your eyes?"

"We...... We are wronged! We have been framed!"

Kong Duancao and Cui Hao shouted while glaring at the witnesses of the housekeepers with murderous intent:

"Say, what benefits did you get from Jiang Chen? Why are you framing us like this?"

"Do you know what it is to frame the head of the house? Have you ever thought about your wife and children at home?"

Kong Duancao, who was anxious, directly threatened the palace.

"Master, you can admit it, your handwritten letters have been intercepted by Jinyiwei.

In addition, several prefects in Qizhou and Xiangzhou who listened to your orders to conceal the autumn harvest and owe the autumn grain were also arrested by the Jinyi Wei and the people of the Imperial City Division, and they will probably be taken into Bianjing in the near future......

"If it weren't for the ironclad evidence and the indefinite argument, how could we betray you?"

Several stewards cried and cried out, and some even loyally said, "Master, the little one was supposed to take the blame for you, but they didn't believe it, I saw that everyone else had been recruited, and this is it, this is it......

"What? The prefects of Qizhou and Xiangzhou have been arrested?"

"How so? Why don't we get any news?"

"It's over......

That's it!

Kong Duancao, Cui Hao and Meng Changling were weak, and their faces were full of despair. Kong Duanyou was also dumbfounded, looking at Jiang Chen incredulously.

Jiang Chen smiled, "Does Master Kong still think that they are loyal and virtuous? Do you want to resign from the post of Yan Sheng Gong for them?"

Uh-

Kong Duanyou was so embarrassed that he wanted to get into his crotch.

Song Huizong looked happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "I believe that Yan Shenggong was deceived by the female cadre, and he was not sincerely coerced by me!

Come on, quickly support the body of the saint!"

After that, Song Huizong directly glanced at Wang Li.

Wang Li immediately smiled and stepped forward to help Kong Duanyou up.

"Old Minister...... The old minister has neglected to supervise, thank you for the grace of the official family!"

Kong Duanyou's face turned red, and after glaring at Jiang Chen resentfully, he retreated with a disgraced face, and couldn't bear to look at Kong Duancao and the others again.

Cai Jing and He Zhizhong saw that Kong Duanyou had confessed, and they also lost their scruples, and at the same time said to Song Huizong:

"The official family, Kong Duancao, Cui Hao, Meng Changling and others have their own personal grudges, colluded with female cadres to create a food shortage, and now the evidence is conclusive, and they should be severely punished according to law!"

They didn't want to be hated by the Kong family, so they set the charges very vaguely and did not say that these people betrayed the country.

But Song Huizong didn't care about this, and directly waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, send these traitors to the heavenly prison, confiscate the family property, and interrogate them strictly!"

And to the state capitals: Anyone who conceals the autumn harvest and autumn grain, as long as he is willing to report his own guilt and make up for the deficiency, I will be punished lightly!

If anyone dares to join them in the chaos of the society and the cholera regime, they will all be punished as conspiracy!"

"Punished as a conspiracy?"

Kong Duancao, Cui Hao and Meng Changling's eyes were scattered, and they were desperate!

They never expected that they would not succeed in harming Jiang Chen, but instead put themselves in it!

The civil and military officials were frightened: "Oh my God! Could it be that the Cui family and the Meng family, which have been inherited for hundreds of years, are about to fall like this?"

"Shouldn't the official family be using the topic to play with the intention of clearing the wings of the Kong family's relatives?"

This kind of speculation couldn't help but pop up in everyone's hearts.

Wang Zhongyu and Cai Qian were even more frightened and their legs trembled, although they did not sell the distillation process, but they did no less than the Kong family to collude with officials to hoard grain, which made them very uneasy.

Cai Jing thought more: This matter is too weird, it seems that everything has fallen into the calculation of the little girl, so will my Cai family's food hoarding also be under his surveillance, and will the official family already know?

Hiss –

Thinking of this, Cai Jing's heart suddenly shook! I finally understood why Song Huizong looked at him abnormally in the past few days!

So he hurriedly remedied: "The official, the old minister thinks that in order to completely stabilize the people's minds and prevent people from disturbing the society, they should also strictly order that no one without the authorization of the Royal Chamber of Commerce shall brew distilled spirits and sell them privately.

In addition, grain merchants in various localities are not allowed to hoard goods, and those who refuse to sell them in a limited manner will be strictly investigated!"

"Exactly! This matter is arranged by Cai Xiang, with the assistance of Jin Yiwei and Liangchen!"

Song Huizong directly agreed, but because Cai Qian was involved in the hoarding of grain, he handed over the execution to Yang Jian and Jiang Chen.

"The old minister obeys!"

Cai Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so that he could remove his son and cronies from this matter.

Of course, there must be a premise for this, that is, Yang Jian and Jiang Chen are willing to raise their noble hands.

As a result, he cooperated with He Zhizhong, Zheng Juzhong, Chen Cisheng and others to overturn the next crimes of impeaching Jiang Chen.

For this result, Kong Duanyou was very unacceptable, and as soon as he retreated, he fainted from depression.

Jiang Chen, Zhu Yinian, Gao Yu and others were in a good mood, and they walked out of the palace after chatting and laughing all the way.

The Confucian students who gathered at the gate of the palace to demonstrate, waiting to see Jiang Chen's beheading, were instantly stunned when they saw Jiang Chen's high-spirited and full of sorrow on his face!

Cui Yi shouted even more unacceptably: "Jiang Chen, how come you, a female cadre who does not respect Confucianism and the world of cholera, have not been convicted of justice?"

"Huh? Isn't this Cui Yi, the sister-in-law of the traitor Cui Hao? Come on, take it for me!"

Gao Yu sneered and directly ordered to take people.

"Why? What qualifications do you have to take me? Why should you insult your father as a thief?"

Cui Yi jumped to his feet and scolded angrily.
