"If Guo Siqing is not here today, this will be the deputy judge," Comrade Chen said to Lan Yuan as he moved a chair for Gu Zheng, "Please start." ”

Gu Zheng sat down with a cower, at this time he was more like a prisoner on trial.

"I ...... I asked you at the emperor's order," Gu Zheng pondered for a while, and finally picked up the brush, but his hand trembled, "What means did you use to frame the minister in the first place?" And how to falsify the evidence? Tell me about the specifics. Don't take chances, your comrades have already recruited all of them. ”

Lan Yuan looked up suddenly, his eyes looking around in a panic; But seeing that Comrade Chen was standing calmly on the side, he hesitated a little and said, "I ......"

At this critical moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Comrade Chen's face, and he waved his arm back: "You see someone first." ”

"But ......" Gu Zheng was already sweating profusely, and wanted to stop him, but he couldn't find a suitable reason, so he had to hold back his words stiffly, and watched Wan He obediently walk out of the shadows behind him.

Lan Yuan looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"Jiankang County Wang Wan and Shun."

Lan Yuan's brows trembled, and his suspicion gradually turned into expectation: "Really? His tone, obviously pressed the excitement that was about to explode, like a full bow, which was off the string in an instant.

"Can you still cheat?" Comrade Chen turned to look at Gu Zheng, "Master Gu, what do you say?" ”

"Yes......" Gu Zheng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and echoed weakly.

Lan Yuan instantly comprehended the meaning of his comrade, and his tense face completely relaxed: "Isn't it just a confession?" I'll write you a hundred copies. After that, he asked for a pen from the book office, wrote a few lines of text neatly, and handed it to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng looked at the whole article, although this person admitted to framing the minister and other actions, he never mentioned the name of Chen Tongpao, and he took the responsibility alone.

As soon as his eyes closed, he almost fell backwards, but he gritted his teeth and insisted on holding his heavy head, "I...... I felt a little dizzy, so I took my leave first. With that, he put on his paperwork and staggered away.

The two of them didn't have time to send it, looking at his back, Wan Heshun asked in a low voice, "Lord Chen, will it be okay in this way?" The confession is still in their hands. ”

The edict was cold, and Comrade Chen couldn't help but sigh into the palm of his hand: "My lord doesn't seem to have figured out the purpose of the Ye Party. The reason why they went to such great lengths was not to kill Lan Yuan, but because they knew that they couldn't interfere in this case, they wanted to use this to put pressure on Lan Yuan, force him to speak, and drag us all into the water. Now that I have invited you, the big Buddha, and settled Lan Yuan's heart, the confession has naturally become a piece of waste paper. ”

"But forging documents and framing colleagues is not a small crime, if he admits it like this, he will inevitably die?"

Chen Tongpao said with a smile: "In the face of social affairs, what is this kind of sin? The emperor's words. As soon as the Ye Party is destroyed, he will become a hero who resists the traitorous party, and the hero's face will never be smudged. ”

"You kid is smarter than this king!" Wan Heshun laughed.

"Okay, Chen is now an unofficial person, and he shouldn't be allowed to wander around, but this time he broke in with you. Now that the matter has been settled, I have to go home early. As soon as he spoke, his comrade shook his head deeply, and his face was expressionless as usual.

Ye Yongjia and the others sat around the lobby of the Criminal Department, each looking at each other without saying a word. Suddenly, when they heard the sound of small footsteps outside the hall, they all stood up in unison, rushed out of the door, and bumped into Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then just gave a guilty look, didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and walked straight into the hall.

The faces of the people were extremely pale. Dong Sheng was annoyed, stepped forward and pulled his arm, shouting: "What is the result, you say!" ”

Gu Zheng was unmoved, and put the documents in his hand in place one by one, and then turned to face them.

"I ...... I ......"

As soon as he spoke, Gu Zheng couldn't hold back any longer, he fell to his knees and cried: "I'm sorry for Lord Ye, I can't live for you......"

Seeing this situation, Ye Yongjia couldn't help but feel all kinds of emotions in his heart, and his eyes were also soaked with tears. But he had to pretend to cheer up, suppressed the sourness, and bent down to help Gu Zheng: "Master Gu, you did your best, if something goes wrong, it is also Ye's improper plan, don't blame yourself!" ”

Gu Zheng swallowed tears and said: "I didn't think that Comrade Chen was like a god, and asked Wan Heshun to wait there early, if it weren't for that, maybe there would still be a glimmer of hope." At that time, I was really afraid that the new deal would be in my hands, so I was nervous and timid, and I was at a loss when I entered the edict. I wonder if if the outcome would have changed if I had been more resolute......"

Dong Sheng hurriedly comforted: "The past cannot be traced, let alone the things that are difficult to climb to the sky?" We are worthy of our hearts and the world, and we have no regrets even if we die. ”

"Listen to you, are we just going to sit still?" Cui Yi sat aside, raised his eyes and asked.

"Is there any other way?" Dong Sheng said calmly, "Accept it, it's not in vain to kill yourself." ”

"You say these things, thinking you're heroic? Very dignified? Cui Yi stood up and stomped his feet, "Phew! This is an out-and-out coward! ”

He wandered from side to side irritably: "Do you know where the people of Hunan have gone?" He went to the place where Yuyuki implemented the new policy back then! Henan's system of 'one field and two masters' is no longer viable, complaints are everywhere, starvation is surging, and in a few days there will be impeachment! Are you still fantasizing about killing yourself...... Let me tell you, the reality is that once we fail, there will only be a steady stream of scolding, and no one will cry out for us! ”

Dong Sheng was stunned by the scolding, and after a while, he came back to his senses, turned his head and asked Ye Yongjia: "What Brother Cui said, but is it the truth?" ”

Ye Yongjia sighed: "That's true, but the reason hasn't been figured out yet." But what was done well at the beginning, and the people were all commendable, but now it has encouraged the annexation, which is really a strange thing. ”

"It's better for Cui to go to investigate in person," Speaking of this, Cui Yi looked like he couldn't enter, "But there is one thing that needs to be agreed in advance." ”

"What?"

"The purpose of Cui's trip." Cui Yi said solemnly, "There are two ways: one is to report to the disaster relief and go as an envoy of the imperial court, but this will only make things bigger and give Chen Dang a handle to criticize the new policy, which is tantamount to throwing himself into a dead end; And the other way......" he paused, his fierce gaze, "and that is to block the news and prevent the displaced from escaping." ”

When Ye Yongjia heard this, he was hit directly by a thunderbolt, and his whole body let out a tremor that could not be calmed down for a long time.
