Jinling Night Chapter 158 Brother and Shang Shu Case

Han Qin said, "Why don't you marry me", not only did Zhang Zhen stand on the spot, but even she herself was at a loss for what to do with her cheeks.

Before Zhang Qin could react, Han Qin had already jumped out of the wall with a blushing face.

Zhang Zhen recalled Han Qin's beautiful face and slender figure, and unconsciously blushed a little, but then reason prevailed.

What are you kidding, can Han Qin marry casually? That's the first demon in Jinling, I can't be confused by her beauty, and Han Qin's words are not necessarily sincere, maybe it's just the first time I heard a love fairy tale and felt emotional, which is also a normal phenomenon. Zhang Zhen kept patting his cheeks with his hands, and at the same time kept warning himself not to think wildly.

It's just that I don't know if the noble children of Jinling City knew that Han Qin would also have such a shy side, would they collectively drop their jaws.

Zhang Yan shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore.

It's just that it's the age of the young Mu Ai, is this kind of thing said that you don't want to want it? This also made Zhang Lu lose sleep for the first time since he crossed.

Early the next morning, Zhang Lu yawned with dark circles under his eyes and walked to the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, many courtiers looked at Zhang Chen, last time this kid played Zhan Hui here, and the matter of beating the drum was still vivid, and the courtiers wondered why this kid came again? Especially recently, His Majesty has been vigorously purging the court, and many noble ministers have been imprisoned.

Of course, there are also some courtiers who don't pay much attention to Zhang Yuan, such as Wang Yu, in the past, he would definitely greet Zhang Yuan with a smile, but today he just raised his eyelids and stopped talking, but his face was full of gloom and sadness.

Seeing that the courtiers were avoiding Zhang Lu like a plague god, Feng Hong stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?"

As a hundred households of Jinyi Wei stationed here all the year round, Feng Hong still likes Zhang Lu's kid.

Although the courtiers were far away, they still listened to what Zhang Lu had to say.

Zhang Zhen arched his hand towards Feng Hong, yawned, and then said, "Your Majesty asked me to come."

Feng Hong nodded and didn't ask any more, what His Majesty did had its own deep meaning, and it was not something that these courtiers could speculate and ask at will.

Feng Hong looked at Zhang Lu's listless appearance, and directly quipped, "Zhang Lu, why do you kid look tired today? Young people, you need to be temperate, or you will regret it when you get older, haha."

Zhang Yan raised his eyes to look at Feng Hong, without the slightest awareness of respecting the old and loving the young, and said directly: "Looking at Feng Baihu's words, he must have a deep understanding, I thank Feng Baihu for his reminder here."

Feng Hong is a decent person and has a good temperament, so he didn't think he was embarrassed by Zhang Yan's words, and he laughed out loud, which also caused the surrounding Jinyi guards to laugh.

Feng Hong raised his fist and said, "Your kid's mouth is really unforgiving, my body is very strong, and it is not a problem for the night emperor to have a few."

Zhang Yan looked at Feng Hong and put on an expression of complete disbelief.

At this moment, the main entrance of the palace was opened, and the ministers began to enter.

Feng Hong patted Zhang Zhen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, you kid hurry in, you kid should be more energetic today, don't make mistakes."

Zhang Zhen knew that this was Feng Hong's kind reminder, so he took half a step back, and bowed to Feng Hong very solemnly, and then followed the big team into the palace.

Entering the Fengtian Palace, the courtiers began to stand up one after another according to the size of the civil and military and official positions, Zhang Zhen came last time or sued the emperor, but this time it was Zhu Yuanzhang who asked him to participate in the early dynasty, because it was the first time to participate, Zhang Zhen also had little experience, I really didn't know where to stand, but after thinking about it, his official position must be the lowest among the ministers, so he simply stood directly in the last corner of the general's side.

With a cry of "Your Majesty has arrived!" The courtiers knelt on the ground one after another, and the mountain shouted, "Long live the Five Emperors, long live, long live!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded expressionlessly, and said softly, "Zhongqing is flat."

The courtiers had just straightened up, and Wang Yu had already come out of the ranks and knelt on the ground, he grabbed the ground with his head, and said, "Weichen deserves to die for his crimes, and I beg Your Majesty to surrender his guilt."

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and asked, "Qing is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he is my humerus, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, I don't know what Qing is guilty of?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone couldn't tell likes or dislikes, but being so serious was really not a good signal.

Wang Yu didn't raise his head, and said, "The minister is in charge of the punishment department, but he is ashamed of His Majesty's kindness, Ding Bin is a serious offender, but he died in prison yesterday."

If you want to put aside the usual, it is normal for prisoners to die in the prison, but Ding Bin has a special identity, and he is still the confidant of Li Shanchang, the Duke of Xuanguo, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Zhu Yuanzhang who wants to take Li Shanchang under the knife, and whether Li Shanchang can be convicted depends on Ding Bin's testimony, and now Ding Bin is dead in prison, which is a big deal for Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, how to punish Wang Yu depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude.

I only heard Zhu Yuanzhang speak: "Ding Bin is deeply sinful, and if he dies, he will die."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his life was saved, right?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to say, "It also happened that yesterday I received a letter of impeachment against Qing."

After Wang Yu listened, his heart that had been put down was suspended again.

Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the eunuch on the side to read the impeachment note, which probably meant that Wang Yu had recently broken a case, which violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

The incident happened in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province, where a local soldier named Tang Runshan sued a farmer named Yao Xiaowu for robbing his daughter-in-law, Shi Lingzhi.

Because Tang Runshan is a military household, the Ministry of War also specially sent an official letter to Hongtong County. The Hongtong County Order also quickly decided the case: Yao Xiaowu returned Shi Lingzhi to Tang Runshan within a time limit, otherwise he would be punished for the crime of sabotaging the military marriage.

Now Yao Xiaowu doesn't understand, he and his wife Shi Lingzhi have been married for many years and have three children, why did the daughter-in-law suddenly become someone else's? Is there any royal law left?

According to Da Ming Law, Shi Lingzhi is indeed Yao Xiaowu's legal wife. But why would the Hongtong County Order still adjudicate the case like this?

It turned out that Shi Lingzhi and Tang Runshan's elder brother had been married since childhood, and then the world was in turmoil, and Tang Runshan's elder brother also died early. But now that it is the world of the Ming Dynasty, this judgment is obviously contrary to the "Ming Law".

Seeing that his wife had become someone else's, Yao Xiaowu sued him one by one, and finally the case was personally decided by Wang Yu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and sentenced Shi Lingzhi to Tang Runshan.

However, this matter is relatively big, and naturally many people know about it, which is why Wang Yu was impeached in the imperial history.

After a general understanding of the impeachment matter, the secretary of the military department and the squire of the military department couldn't sit still, and they also came to the center of the hall and knelt on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the three people kneeling on the ground and did not directly announce the verdict, but asked in a calm voice, "Is Zhang Lu here?"

Zhang Lu also came out immediately, and the other courtiers were holding the board in both hands, but he didn't have it in his hand, so he could only arch his hand and say, "Weichen is here."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "You kid actually hid in the corner, tell me, what do you think of this case?"

What do I think? Why don't you ask Yuan Fang what he thinks? Although it was slanderous in his heart, Zhang Yu still replied: "My brother is dead, and it is really a bad custom of the previous dynasty for my younger brother to inherit my sister-in-law, and now that His Majesty has promulgated the "Da Ming Law", then the people of the world will naturally abide by the Da Ming Law."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Yuan's answer, only to hear him say: "The dignified Shangshu of the Criminal Department is actually not as good as a young man, Wang Yu, you usually manage your contacts and give everyone face, these are nothing, I just value your ability so I don't care about these, but he is too much, since he wants to give face to the military department, does he ignore the law?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang said that his voice was not loud, his words were full of dissatisfaction with Wang Yu.

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Wang Yu straightened up, took off his official hat with both hands and put it on his left front side, and then put his body on the ground again and shouted loudly in the hall

said: "The minister is in charge of the criminal department, and is in charge of the punishment of the world for His Majesty, but the minister does things regardless of the Ming law, and the case is pronounced according to the old practice, and when the case of Ding Bin is heard, the minister let Ding Bin die in prison, and he can't get rid of the suspicion of dereliction of duty, and the minister is ashamed of His Majesty and the people of the whole world."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded expressionlessly and said, "In that case, Wang Yu, you should go home first and wait for the ginseng." Come on, take Wang Yu down. In addition, the secretary of the military department and the squire of the military department will also be brought down to be participated."

The brocade guards who were standing outside also immediately came in and pulled the three of them down.

When passing by Zhang Yuan's side, Wang Yu stopped.

Zhang Yu thought that Wang Yu would blame himself, but he did not see any resentment on Wang Yu's face.

Zhang Lu couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked softly, "Lord Shangshu doesn't resent me?"

Wang Yu's face was dejected, and he sighed and said, "Hey, they are all His Majesty's courtiers, how can I resent the little general." Pity me for being clever all my life, but in the end I was defeated by such a simple truth, if I can not die this time, I will definitely talk to the little general about wine."

Although he felt that Wang Yu had a big problem, Zhang Yu still arched his hand, which can be regarded as a promise.

Wang Yu was taken down, and looking at his dejected figure at this moment, Zhang Yu inevitably had some relatives in his heart. Wang Yu broke up the loving husband and wife, if he stood in the perspective of the parties, he would definitely want to kill Wang Yu, from this point of view alone, Wang Yu is not worthy of forgiveness.

Wang Yu's case is over, and Zhu Yuanzhang said again in the palace: "Although Wang Yu has something wrong, his ability to do things is still good, Ding Bin has already identified Xuanguo Gong Li Shanchang as having participated in Hu Weiyong's rebellion before he died, and Li Fu's family Ding has also pointed out that Li Shanchang participated in the rebellion, what do you think of this matter?"
