Chapter 91: Patrol and Forward Rotation (6)
When Niu Yuan heard him mention the name 'Hu Chonglian', he immediately remembered that Shi Zhengxiu had told him that a Ministry of Labor Lang Zhongyuan was ready to collude with the Su Party to embezzle the labor fees for the temple, and this little-known person was called Hu Chonglian. Although he seems to be talking about it for a long time, Niu Yuanjian has the opportunity to climb this big thing, and since he can take this line, how can he be willing to give up? Immediately grasped this conversation, patted Xingmu and asked, "How long has this matter been?" ”
The prisoner panicked: "Hello Xiang, it will take three or four months to say anything." ”
"Wow!" Niu Yuan sneered a few times, "You guys dare to put your hands on the emperor's side, and you've been planning for so long...... What else can't be done? ”
The Ministry of Labor Shangshu knew that this was his subordinate, but he was confused by the obscurity, so he was worried and cowardly asked: "What is the matter of the person who is talking about by the Prime Minister?" ”
Niu Yuan smiled: "This matter has nothing to do with adults, it's just that you and I never thought that this group of traitors was raised in the court!" I originally listened to Shi Zhengxiu's revelation, saying that this person conspired with the squire, and brought a group of ministers to it, planning to embezzle the use of building the palace, thinking it was absurd; Who knew that in the first trial here, there was corroborating evidence! However, the matter is still vague and needs to be interrogated in prison. ”
Shang Shu was unaware of the conspiracy of his subordinates, and secondly, he did not want to be implicated, so he was very much in favor of Niu Yuan's decision: "I, the royal subordinate who is the boss, do not know, and I should make up for it." Don't worry, I'll catch that traitor when I go back! ”
"This is not for me, but for the emperor," Niu Yuan said solemnly, "It is up to all the adults to work together to capture this traitorous party!" ”
Gao Jizhi thought that he would not be able to turn over, but he knew that this kind of change would occur, and he was in a trance for a while, and began to complain one after another in his heart; Ye Yongjia looked at this official secretary suspiciously, wondering how his strategy could go wrong; Tobe's Zeng Liang frowned, sensing that things had become complicated; The Shangshu of the Criminal Department took a bite of a snack, ate a mouth full of grease, and stayed out of the matter; Only Lu Zhixian's eyes were white, his lips were purple, and he looked like he was about to die.
Although they each had their own ghosts, their voices were surprisingly unanimous, and they all responded to Niu Yuan: "Obey!" ”
When Niu Yuan heard this simple sentence, he smiled even more, clapped his hands a few times and said, "Okay, good!" I bother you to come here today and accompany Niu to try such a big case! When I finish the trial, I will return to the government and the opposition! ”
As soon as Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry left the yamen, he summoned Hu Chonglian to the next place, immediately tied him up, scolded him, and sent him to prison. Niu Yuan knew that his identity was in the way, and in order to avoid trouble, he decided not to try it himself, but only ordered the governor to act on his behalf, and instructed that Su Zongshan's name should not be tried, because it was related to his eternal plan.
The governor gave the order to beat up Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Works, and the latter told the truth, and took a seal letter to testify, saying that it was a correspondence given to him by the waiter, so that he could use it to connect with the master of the Jingshi. Niu Yuan got the confession, and suddenly had the feeling that 'heaven and earth are all working together', and quickly told Liu Xiang that he was going to meet with hundreds of officials in the hall, and use this meeting to completely kill the hope of the Su Party.
Niu Yuan arrived at the atrium with confidence. He lifted the curtain outside the door, looked around, and saw that the people had arrived, and the Ministry of Works was among them, so he smiled slightly, and thought: 'This person is the key to my victory', and then sat down on the circle chair.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Hu Chonglian has already confessed," said Niu Yuan, taking out a neatly folded document from his arms, "This is his confession." Please read it to the Ministry of Works, and see who are all around you. ”
The Ministry of Works' eyes were grim, he clenched his fists, took the confession with his hand, and gently opened it and read: "The Ministry of Industry Langzhong Hu Chonglian confessed: The villain conspired with the Ministry of Works, deceived the superiors and subordinates, and found the Beijing master, ready to embezzle the public funds of the emperor's palace, and then share the spoils...... A sealed letter can be used as physical evidence. ”
When he read the end, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was already filled with righteous indignation: "Where is the seal of what he said!" Please show the subordinates! ”
"Give." Niu Yuan was holding the little thing in his right hand, and with a shake of his hand, he threw the seal letter to him. "Is there anything you'd like to say?"
Shang Shu took a look at it, and it was really a seal letter from the ministry. He was already angry, and then he fanned the flames with all his might, so he threw the seal letter away, turned back to his colleagues and said: "Everyone, that group of people formed a group of friends to attack the emperor!" If we don't find out what they are behind the scenes, I am afraid that the government will be dark forever! This is what happened in my department, and this official is willing to set an example and clean up these subordinates who are rebellious and chaotic, and leave no one behind! ”
This time, Niu Yuan interrogated the case in full view of everyone, and the trial process was justified, and now even the chief official of the Ministry of Industry is resentful to this point, where is there any reason for everyone to oppose it? They were originally afraid that the Liu Party would suppress dissidents, so they went to Qingliu to take refuge in order to protect themselves, but now they see that they have a clear goal, and it will not affect others.
Gao Jizhi was stunned. He watched the other party be invincible, but the people around him turned one by one and couldn't recruit back, making him alone, as if he was only waiting for the enemy's iron cavalry to crush him.
He felt powerless and sad, and his whole body went limp, and everything in front of him swirled - but fortunately he was a little stronger-willed, and forced himself to carry it until the end of the meeting.
After he walked out of the lobby, he saw Chen Tongpao, sighed at him for a long time, and showed all kinds of helpless expressions in front of him. It seems that he already thinks that the current Niu Yuan has completely reversed the situation, and even a person like a shrewd person like Chen Tongpao can't save his life in a hurry.
But he complained for a long time, but found that Comrade Chen was just smiling and nodding, and there was no change from before. He felt the strangeness of this person, and began to be a little frightened, his expression also dimmed, and he asked with a calm face: "Now that we are finished, who else can we turn to in the world?" In such a situation, you can still laugh? ”
"Brother Yanda, ah no, Gao Shangshu," Chen Tongpao smiled to himself, "Don't always think about asking for help from others, the so-called seeking heaven and earth is better than seeking yourself, and everything is always self-explanatory." ”
Gao Jizhi flicked his sleeves: "Nonsense!" Today, all you can do is to be caught, what else can you do? ”
"Don't hide it from your lord, when the younger generation was in Beijing, he actually left a back hand. The reason why it has been delayed is today. ”
"Back, back?" Gao Jizhi's face turned pale.
