"Oh? Wang Jishan? I remember that the champion Hou recommended him, and he was a great talent. Wang Aiqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this Wang Jishan is the son and nephew of your Wang family, right? Such a good talent, why didn't you recommend it to the imperial court? ”

I'm talking about homicide, why did you suddenly mention recommending talents? A typical Wang Gu talks about him left and right.

Wang Si bowed down and stood up, and said modestly: "Your Majesty forgives me, Wang Jishan is the nephew of the minister, how can he have any talent, he is just a mediocre person who can read a few words." The champion has won the prize. ”

The commander of Chang'an County said loudly: "Wang Shangshu's words are wrong. The serial murders have been going on for many days, and so many of us have been busy for a long time without any progress. In the end, it was Wang Gongzi who made a little trick and quickly found out the mastermind behind the scenes. This alone is enough to prove that Wang Gongzi is a real talent! ”

Wang Si: ......

Did I make you talk too much?

didn't wait for him to stare at others, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gave Wang Si a word of congratulations, and the Wang family had a great unicorn.

The emperor pushed the boat down the river and immediately summoned Wang Jishan, who had made great contributions.

"Well, it's extraordinary. I originally thought that all the talents in the world were in my ranks, but now it seems that they are far from enough. Wang Jishan has made a great contribution this time, and he will make Wang Jishan a ......"

At this time, the Zheng family's people in the court interrupted: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this case has not yet been concluded, and whether it has made meritorious service or not is not yet known, and it is too early to talk about rewards." ”

Well?

Li Er frowned slightly, nodded and said, "It's okay, when everyone arrives, ask the truth and know the truth." Wang Aiqing, and took his nephew to stand aside for a while, for talents, I have never been stingy with meritorious deeds. ”

Wang Si was already very dissatisfied with this nephew, why didn't he discuss such a big matter? let you and Xiao Ruixu and the snake, and didn't let you really do it to make enemies with the Zheng family.

didn't bother to explain to his uncle, Wang Jishan, who heard the reward, hurriedly stood up and excused himself: "Your Majesty is gracious." The grass people did this only to prove their innocence, not to ask for merit and reward. ”

"Hehe, what a good boy. That doesn't stop me from rewarding you for your talent. Li Er smiled even happier.

"The grass people have no intention of being officials, they just want to be intoxicated with the sea of books and study knowledge, please forgive your majesty."

Li Er is not easy to fool, "You are already an adult, when you leave home to serve the country, how can you live in the countryside for a long time and waste your skills?" Isn't it that you are stingy with your family and unwilling to contribute to the country? ”

Seeing that his nephew was about to be forced to sign a deed of sale, Wang Si hurriedly stood up to solve the siege, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the little nephew has not completed his studies, this time he entered Chang'an to increase his knowledge, with full knowledge, and when his experience is over, he will go home and pass the teacher assessment, and he will definitely be sent to the DPRK to serve the country." ”

Li Er frowned and didn't like it, and said in his heart, old fox, you are very protective.

"Oh, so, that's my heart. In this way, the matter of sealing the official will be pressed for the time being, and I will be overjoyed to see this son today, so I will give him a first-class title. Named Wenshui County male. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji echoed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming. Wang Shangshu, you can't shirk anymore, Your Majesty has a heart of love for talents, if you insist on not accepting it, won't it prevent the world's talents from returning to their hearts? ”

This......

Wang Si was helpless and was about to respond.

Outside the main hall, Zheng Shuping arrived with someone, "Wait!" Your Majesty, Wang Jishan falsely accused my family Zheng Zihe, I am afraid that he is suspected of taking the risk of receiving the reward! ”

Well? Falsely accused?

For the sake of his nephew's reputation, Wang Si didn't care about anything else at this time, and was the first to stand up and support: "Brother Zheng, what do you mean?" My nephew earnestly investigated and pursued the culprit, is he a person who took the risk of merit and received a reward? ”

Uncle Zheng snorted coldly, "I can't afford to be Wang Shangshu and Brother Zheng." Today, in this Taiji Palace, in front of His Majesty, let everyone comment on the reasoning, why did his Wang Jishan's attendant and the killer's deal finally be detained on the head of my family's Zheng Zihe? Isn't this a risky reward? ”

The Chang'an County Commander stood up and said: "The facts are all there, and the human and material evidence is complete. It was traced by Wang Gongzi, how could it be a false accusation? If you don't believe it, bring witnesses. ”

Soon, the henchman who was willing to testify against Zheng Zihe was brought up.

"Who is Your Highness? How did your son-in-law Zheng Zihe buy murder and kill those candidates, and truthfully recruited them. Wang Si asked.

This is the Taiji Palace, the ministers in the literary district are all there, when has he seen this meeting? He started to tremble from the moment he entered the door, and as soon as Wang Si scolded him here, he urinated directly.

Many of them covered their mouths and noses and hid back.

Chang'an County Ling stepped forward in disgust, grabbed the other party and admonished: "Answer honestly, make it clear in front of Your Majesty, in this Taiji Palace, no one can do anything to you." ”

But the man was still trembling, not to mention talking, it was just a mess.

Zheng Shuping sneered: "Your Majesty, it seems that this witness is weak-hearted, and he doesn't dare to take offense and lie in the face of Long Yan." ”

Li Er didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Wang Jishan.

Wang Jishan stepped forward, took out a handkerchief from his body, and blindfolded the man with his own hands.

"Don't worry about boldly telling what you know, Your Majesty will judge impartially, your family has been rescued, and no one can hurt them."

Covering his eyes, the man seemed to be a little bolder, and mustered up the courage to speak.

Zheng Shuping objected and shouted: "Your Majesty, Wang Jishan has threatened in court. It seems to imply that this person's family members are going to blackmail him into perjury. ”

Wang Jishan snorted coldly: "Shameless! Your Majesty, this person is Zheng Zihe's confidant, because his family is in the hands of Zheng Zihe, so he was coerced to be an accomplice. He promised to correct him in court, provided that he helped rescue his family. ”

Li Er nodded and said, "Then where is his family?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, all the family members are now placed in the Chang'an County Yanai." Chang'an County Ling replied.

Li Er nodded: "In this way, then it is not coercion." Let's start asking. Your Highness, witness, if you answer truthfully, I will consider it as appropriate. Wang Jishan, you come to investigate. ”

The people of the Zheng family opened their mouths, but they didn't dare to refute anymore.

"What's your name? What is the identity? Wang Jishan asked.

"Lord Huiyu, the villain's name is Xu San'er, and he is a close subordinate of Zheng Zihe, the son of the Zheng family."

"Phew! Servant of the devouring master, my Zheng family does not have such cronies and subordinates. Zheng Shuping couldn't help but scold.

Wang Jishan ignored him, but continued to ask: "Xu San'er, tell me everything you know, how Zheng Zihe instructed you to do things, and tell Your Majesty the truth." ”

Xu San'er knelt on the ground and said loudly: "That day, Zheng Zihe was pretended to be driven out of Chang'an City, and then he deliberately left me to do things in the city, and began to buy murder according to the plan he set, and then framed Wang Jishan Gongzi of the Wang family step by step......"

"Wait!" Zheng Shuping interrupted him, "Your Majesty, since this case involves Wang Jishan, then he should recuse himself, how can he be used to investigate the case?" ”

Li Er waved his hand and said, "Let the witness finish the matter." ”

So Xu San told the story and quickly told everything he knew.

As he narrated, the situation became more and more unfavorable to the Zheng family, and many civil and military officers began to point fingers, and at the same time surprised that this Zheng family's son was so ruthless and hidden deep enough.

"Your Majesty, according to what Xu San'er said, it was all his private actions to stay in Chang'an, and it cannot be proved that my family Zheng Zihe instructed him to buy the murderer. Obviously, this is a false accusation that Wang Jishan colluded with Xu San'er. ”

This quibble made sense, so Li Er didn't speak, and looked at Wang Jishan again.

Wang Jishan sighed and said, "I have known for a long time that you will not confess your sins easily. So the evidence doesn't stop there. Zheng Zihe wanted to frame me, but he didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make it a loss of rice, so don't blame me Wang Jishan for being ruthless. Come on, take that killer Pinggu a little red. ”

Killer? Pinggu is a little red? Isn't he already dead? Everyone was puzzled.

Wang Jishan said confidently: "He is indeed dead, but sometimes, dead people can also speak." ”
