Zhu Yong was young and vigorous, took the tax collector, and left directly, going to arrest people.

But the rest of the people were all in shock.

Huang Xiaoru's hands trembled, slumped in the chair, motionless, he was not calm, he was simply afraid, and his soul was so frightened that he did not possess his body.

If it is just to offend a few officials, with Xu Jingchang's support, and can take advantage of the reason, even if it is a little dangerous, it will not despair.

But Fang Xiaoru was implicated, Jianwen Yu was implicated, and the fool also knew how deep the water was behind this!

Not to mention that he is a small county, even if it is Xu Jingchang, can he grasp it?

Huang Xiaoru opened his mouth, trying to persuade Xu Jingchang to stop, but he found that he was just opening his mouth and couldn't make a sound.

He hurriedly twisted his stiff body and coughed lightly, "Dingguo Gong, go, go to the second hall to rest." ”

Xu Jingchang sat there, to be honest, he knew that this kind of human trafficking must implicate the powerful, there was no doubt about it. He let Huang Xiaoru go down, and he was sure that he could hold it.

But now Fang Xiaoru is implicated and Jianwen Yu is implicated...... This is the biggest taboo in the entire Yongle Dynasty, if one is not handled well, the sky may fall apart.

Even with his own identity, it is difficult to get out of it all.

Xu Jingchang, who has always been fearless, actually smelled a trace of panic.

It turns out that he will be scared too.

At this time, Huang Xiaoru asked him to go to the second hall to rest.

Xu Jingchang owed his ass and wanted to get up, but the moment he raised his buttocks, Xu Jingchang sat down again.

"This case has not yet been tried, and the big guys are watching here, so it's not easy for us to leave. Huang Zhixian, you can wait with me! ”

Although Huang Xiaoru was terrified, he didn't dare to disobey Xu Jingchang's intentions, so he could only sit there, like a wood carving clay sculpture.

He was really afraid that something terrible would come out in the next moment, and he wouldn't be able to end it.

Maybe you're going to be in a different place.

It's not a good feeling to die.

Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly someone came out from the side and handed Xie Jin a note.

Xie Jin saw it in his eyes, remained silent, picked up the teapot, went to pour tea for Xu Jingchang, and handed a note to Xu Jingchang by the way.

This note was written by Zhu Gaochi...... implicated in the reverse case, and retried at a later date.

These eight words are very hard, and you can also see Zhu Gaochi's anxiety.

Thanks to Xu Jingchang's guidance, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi both understood that they must try their best to downplay the old things of Jianwen and not mention them.

This kind of thing that is difficult to seize power, no matter how much truth there is, in the end, is a matter of ass.

Fang Xiaoru can also be regarded as a famous minister of Jianwen, and the Liao family collects the body for Zhongliang, which is also a morally defensible thing. It's really a fuss, and it's Zhu Di Shengming who is hurt.

In the end, even if Xu Jingchang's neck is hard and the knife can't be moved, he will lose his fame.

So the best thing to do, let's put it off......

Xu Jingchang could feel the anxiety of the big fat man and understood his intentions, but after thinking about it again, Xu Jingchang still picked up the pen and drew a cross on it.

When things come to this point, as long as you retreat, you will be reduced to saying that the public is reasonable, and the mother is reasonable, and it is no longer clear...... And according to Xu Jingchang's assessment, this matter may not damage Zhu Di's reputation, the key is to see how to operate.

So he pushed the note to Xie Jin, squinted his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

Xie Jin was helpless, so he could only quietly put away the note, go back with the kettle, and let people return it to Zhu Gaochi.

There was no way, Xu Jingchang was unwilling to back down.

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't persuade Dingguo Gong, let alone others.

Time passed by minute by second, and suddenly there was chaos outside the lobby.

Originally, everyone thought that Liao Yong was arrested, but who knew that the person who came turned out to be Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

The head of the three legal divisions, the main hall of the Criminal Department, went directly to the hall of the Shangyuan County Ya and met Xu Jingchang.

"Dingguo Gong, just now the three law divisions have discussed, please hand over this case, and we will handle it."

Xu Jingchang sat there, slowly opened his eyes, and smiled slightly, "Zheng Shangshu, there are no regulations, the authority of your criminal department is above Jinyiwei." The three legal divisions discussed and wanted to write to the General Administration, and then the General Administration Secretary would hand it to His Majesty. It just so happens that Xie Tongzheng is here, you can tell him. ”

Zheng Ci's face turned black in an instant, surnamed Xu, don't you know what to do!

I rushed here this time to save you, implicated Fang Xiaoru, a bad one, hurt His Majesty Shengming, shake the foundation of this dynasty, and the consequences are not something you can bear.

"Dingguo Gong, the case is serious, and you need to be cautious!"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Yes, please also ask Zheng Shangshu to hand over the official document in accordance with the imperial court process, please bring the holy decree, and I will definitely act in accordance with the decree." However, before the will comes, I must follow the case process to find out the culprit of abducting and selling a woman from a good family. No matter who is involved, I will give an explanation to the people of the world. Especially with so many people, their wives are separated, and their flesh and blood are separated, if it simply boils down to chaos and continuous wars, do they have to fight fifty boards each? Is it right or wrong to do so? ”

Zheng Ci was stunned, he looked at Xu Jingchang in disbelief, you kid is crazy!

It is impossible to say this kind of thing clearly, and no matter what the conclusion is, His Majesty's face will not look good.

You're looking for death!

It's a pity that he, the secretary of the criminal department, really can't be tough in the face of the super national prince, especially Xu Jingchang, who has also been a political envoy.

He could only pull over the chair angrily and sit next to him.

Just as Zheng Ci just sat down, there was a bigger movement outside, and Zhu Yong came with Liao Yong.

Liao Yong's grandfather Liao Yongzhong was a famous general who founded the country, but because he exceeded the etiquette system, he was given death by Zhu Yuanzhang. At that time, it was not the late Hongwu period of bloody rain, so although Liao Yongzhong died, he did not implicate his descendants.

The Liao family still exists, but it has lost its hereditary title.

Liao Yong once studied under Fang Xiaoru and achieved the position of governor.

After Zhu Di entered Beijing, as an old minister of the former dynasty, Liao Yong was thrown aside, but no one tossed them, so they were in peace.

Until today!

"There are no eggs under the nest, and since I collected the body of my teacher, I knew that there would be today."

Liao Yong raised his head and looked at Xu Jingchang, quite disdainful, as if he had been prepared to be a martyred defender.

"Your father betrayed the Son of Heaven, betrayed the military, and ended up in a different place...... Now you haven't woken up and continued to harm Zhongliang, aren't you afraid that one day, it will bring disaster to the whole house? ”

Xu Jingchang was slightly stunned, he was not anything else, he was just confused, is this person so rigid?

Are you afraid that my men will show mercy?

Xu Jingchang sneered, "Liao Yong, we can be regarded as old acquaintances...... Please come here, I just want to ask one thing, do you know about the secret prostitution business of this big worm? ”

Liao Yong was stunned for a moment and snorted, "I don't know what you mean?" ”

Xu Jingchang sneered: "Call the big flower worm over." ”

Xu Dianzhi dragged the flower worm to the hall.

"What you said just now, the people of Yingtian are all in their eyes, you can say it again!"

The flower insect changed color and was afraid in his heart, but he didn't dare to lie in public, so he could only tell the story again.

"Liao Yong, can you hear clearly?"

Liao Yong took a breath and said in a deep voice: "So this is the case? I was once ordered to spy on the news and find out the inner ghost, so I planted eyeliner......"

"Shut up!" Xu Jingchang interrupted him, "Liao Yong, do you know that she opened a brothel?" ”

Liao Yong gritted his teeth, "Yes, but I'm ...... for state affairs."

"No need to talk nonsense!" Xu Jingchang interrupted again, "If I ask you, I'll answer anything." Do you know that this woman forced her to become a prostitute and abducted and sold many women from good families who had fallen into the heavens? ”

"I'm so busy, I don't know the details......"

"I asked, do you know or don't know?"

Liao Yong gritted his teeth, and suddenly said angrily: "Xu Jingchang, at the beginning, each was his master, I helped Emperor Jianwen spy on the military situation, you have an enmity with me, you can't judge me, I want you to avoid suspicion!" ”

Xu Jingchang laughed instantly, Liao Yong, this guy is quite smart, as soon as he came up, he went to Jianwen to lead the court, not to seek death, but to force Xu Jingchang back, this kid is notoriously difficult, far less easy to deal with than some civil officials.

But Xu Jingchang didn't want to dwell on these at all, "Liao Yong, you instigated people to start secret prostitution, and wantonly used a woman from a good family to force Liang to become a prostitute." I want to ask you, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, what should be done? Do I need to avoid suspicion in this matter? ”

Liao Yong took a deep breath, "Xu Jingchang, I am at the behest of Emperor Jianwen......"

"Shut up!" Xu Jingchang shouted angrily: "Did Emperor Jianwen let you kill the people and force Liang to become a prostitute?" ”

Liao Yong's face changed, although Jianwen has been overthrown, but he is a son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty, and the consequences of the courtier's framing of the monarch's father are still very terrible.

"No, no."

Xu Jingchang snorted: "Since there is no will, it was instructed by your teacher Fang Xiaoru?" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Liao Yong was furious, "My teacher is a Confucian in the world, with a good character, and the world knows it." He does not obey His Majesty, and he should die. But you can't tarnish my master's name! I don't promise! ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "Okay, since they didn't give you an order, that is, you opened a brothel in private, and forced Liang to become a prostitute?" ”

"You!" Liao Yong was staggered, becoming more and more embarrassed, he wanted to go to Jianwen Dynasty, but Xu Jingchang didn't give him a chance at all.

Liao Yong had no choice but to turn his head and look at Zheng Ci, "Zheng Shangshu, my case is extraordinary, and the Shangyuan County Government can't try me." ”

Zheng Ci was stunned for a moment, just now he wanted to take over, but Xu Jingchang had already asked to this point, Zheng Ci couldn't be stupid, he pretended not to hear.

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Liao Yong, you have to understand a truth, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has swept away the decadence. The king of Han violated the law and pursued the fine, and there was no extrajudicial mercy. Yongle Tianzi, set up the program Chen Ji, and restore the heart of the program, everyone knows. No matter what you say, it is unreasonable to harm the people and force the good to become prostitutes. ”

"Mencius said that the people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. This is a fitting statement today. The heaviest in the world is the common people! If you look back, it's all the people outside this hall! The Jianwen Heavenly Son you are talking about, whether he instructed you or he didn't know, you figured it out...... Cruelty to the people like this, do you still have the face to sit on the dragon chair? Your Majesty is in heaven, as a matter of course! ”

"Also, that teacher of yours, what did he do? I think he brought disaster to the country and the people, corrupted the national ceremony, and was simply a demon who caused chaos in the country...... Who made a name for him? Is it the people out there, or are you scheming people? You colluded together to corrupt the prosperous world of Hongwu, and let you stir up a miasma, thanks to Your Majesty's clarification of the United States and the return of peace to the people. ”

Xu Jingchang stood up, walked towards Liao Yong step by step, and sneered: "You just thought that I didn't dare to talk about Jingjing, right?" I tell you, there is nothing bad to say, the people of the world are here. Whoever takes their children and forces them to become prostitutes, the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied! Such a person who harms the people still wants to rub rouge and powder on his face and pretend to be a good person, are you blind in the eyes of everyone in the world? ”

Xu Jingchang asked sharply, but Liao Yong couldn't parry, his legs were weak, and he collapsed on the ground.

At the same time, a person was walking briskly from the second hall, and when he heard Xu Jingchang's words, his eyes were red, and tears almost welled up.

This person is Zhu Di!

It turned out that Fang Xiaoru was implicated and the Liao family was involved, Zhu Di was afraid that something messy would be tried, so he hurried over and wanted to listen in person, and just heard Xu Jingchang's high remarks.

What a good boy, that's so comforting......
