Xiajiang dug Konglin, and in just three days, it spread all over Qufu for a hundred miles, and seven days later, most of Shandong had already spread to the public.

The impact of this matter can make a great Confucian and Confucian gather in Qufu, in addition to the deliberate spread of the people of the Yansheng Mansion, it is more that the significance of the 100,000 acres of Kong Lin is too great.

Before the trial officially began, the outside of the county hall was already crowded, and the teahouses and taverns all over the city were full of people waiting for news, and they had already begun to talk loudly, such as the eunuchs should be beheaded at every turn, Ling Chi was executed, and so on.

Liu Ke, the king of Zhongshun who was dressed as a wealthy businessman, sat in the teahouse room near the county government, and sneered: "If you want this group of people to be the chief judge, you don't need to be judged, just chop up Xia Jiang's house and feed it to the dog!"

"Therefore, they can't be officials, let alone the chief judge."

Fu Bao, the chief housekeeper of the palace, was ordered by the heroine Princess Cui to come to Shandong to deliver a letter, but he didn't want to be dragged to Qufu County by his own master.

A little old man in his fifties, his words are full of wisdom. I saw that the little old man Fubao briefly summarized the news collected by his own soldiers and reported them to Liu Ke one by one.

"Master, the people of the Kong family have been selling miserably, but they have sold too much, and many people have become bored. Zeng Cheng of Qingzhou Yishui Academy yesterday openly opposed the Confucian family's interference in the imperial court's judiciary. There is also Ma Ling Daru, the president of Taishan Academy, which also means the same thing. and scolded the Kong family in person, saying that if there is a grievance, they will beat the drum, and encourage the students to make trouble everywhere, stirring up Shandong Shilin to have no intention of studying, and delaying the students' studies is a crime."

Scold~

"Isn't that normal? Everyone is not stupid, if there is a grievance, they don't go to the yamen to shout grievances, but instead encourage students to fight against the government, really when he can cover the sky in Shandong?"

Liu Ke listened to the high-minded talk outside the private room and gradually turned into a fierce debate, and sneered: "In this world, it's not what the Kong family says. The common people have a scale in their hearts, and whether they are right or wrong must be judged on the bright side after all."

"According to your meaning, this Xia Jiang can't die?"

"You can't die in Qufu......

Liu Ke beckoned Fu Bao to speak closely, and then whispered, "You go and make arrangements, let Xia Jiang get seriously ill on the way back to Beijing."

Knock knock knock......

After the three drums were finished, Chen Baoliang, the chief prosecutor in charge of the trial, slapped the startled wood, and the whistle stick in the hands of the forbidden army knocked on the ground, and the inside and outside of the hall instantly became quiet.

"Come on, bring someone to commit Xia Jiang!"

Since Xia Jiang was caught by Kong Lin by the people of the Kong family, in the past ten days, he has always believed that he will be fine. He dug up a few graves in the Kong forest, but he dug up something amazing in the graves, and the square seal alone was enough to send the nine clans of the Kong family on the road.

He has been whipped for the country, he has been imprisoned for the country, he has made great contributions to the country, and the emperor will definitely not let him have anything to do!

Thinking of what he had dug up from Kong Lin and the sins he had suffered these days, Xia Jiang felt more and more that he had worked hard and endured humiliation.

Facing the few people sitting in the lobby, Xia Jiang only bowed slightly after coming in, which made Chen Baoliang and Song Zhaolin, who were in charge of the trial, have angry looks on their faces.

Syllable!

The startled wood slapped, and Chen Baoliang shouted: "A bold eunuch, dare to defy the court!"

"This adult is really good at laughing, how can our family ever do something to show contempt of the court?" Xia Jiang flicked his sleeves and asked rhetorically.

Chen Baoliang originally didn't intend to embarrass Xia Jiang, but at this time, he was angered by Xia Jiang's arrogant attitude.

"Presumptuous, a castration, digging forests and graves, disturbing the Holy Tomb. As an envoy to Shandong, this official was ordered to try this case, and when he entered the court and saw that this official should kneel and confess his guilt, he didn't want to be so presumptuous, come on, drag it down, and punish him with 20 canes to kill his majesty!"

Bang~

An order was thrown at Xia Jiang's feet by Chen Baoliang, but the forbidden troops acting as officials on the left and right did not react.

Xia Jiang thought that the forbidden army was all sent by the emperor to support him, and when he saw that he did not obey the orders of the presiding officer, he couldn't help laughing arrogantly.

"Lord Chen, a province is not more than a third-grade envoy, and our family is also a third-grade internal official, and he is ordered to supervise the internal government department. By grade,

You and I are on the same level; According to the official position, you are sentenced to punishment and probation, and our family is in charge of the internal government department, all of which are errands for the emperor. Our family was ordered to investigate the case, and we had to disturb Kong Lin's purity, even if I was really guilty, it would not be your turn to judge me as a third-grade inspector. If you want to judge, let the emperor give an order, and let the three divisions come."

Xia Jiang's arrogance made Chen Baoliang suddenly angry, and Song Zhaolin, the Shandong Inspector on the side, was also angry, and opened his mouth to scold.

I only heard Song Zhaolin reprimand: "Bold Xia Jiang, this official and Lord Chen tried this case, but the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, Lord Jia, requested, and the Holy Emperor allowed it. In this public court today, there is no head of the Inner Government Division, only the criminal Xia Jiang."

Xia Jiang was not afraid, but sneered again and again: "But the emperor has not deprived our family of official status, our family is wearing official clothes, you dare to torture our family?"

"Arrogance! Arrogant! Arrogance!"

Chen Baoliang shouted arrogantly three times in a row, he was proficient in criminal law, and of course he knew that what Xia Jiang said was true.

But he just couldn't swallow this breath, he couldn't beat a third-grade official according to the inspector, but someone in this court could beat him.

He turned his gaze to Jia Cong, who was sitting beside him, and arched his hand, "Deputy Envoy Jia, can you please issue a royal decree to strip the official clothes of such evil slaves? Otherwise, how will this case be tried?"

The few Confucians sitting in the hall stopped scolding and followed Chen Baoliang's gaze to look at Jia Cong.

Xia Jiang smiled secretly in his heart: Lord Xiao Jia is my Xia Jiang's ally, how can he help you deal with me......

"Good!"

Jia Cong said a good word lightly, and then untied the imperial order from his waist, and the dragon's eyes were wide open, and he was majestic.

He stood up and held up the imperial decree: "The royal golden decree is here, and seeing the decree is like seeing Your Majesty."

Chen Baoliang, Song Zhaolin, Kong Xiangan and others walked to the hall one after another, bowed down and bowed: "The ministers respectfully ask St. Ann, long live, long live, long live!"

The crowd of onlookers also followed and bowed their heads to the king: "The students (small people) respectfully ask St. Ann, long live, long live, long live!"

On the contrary, the royal slave Xia Jiang reacted the least, his eyes widened and he didn't believe this scene, but he still knelt down reluctantly after Jia Cong snorted coldly: "Slave Xia Jiang, I respectfully invite the emperor Sheng'an!"

Jia Cong ignored the resentment that suddenly flashed in Xia Jiang's eyes when he knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "I am ordered that this official will assist in the trial of Xia Jiang's case, and now temporarily take the position of the head of Xia Jiang's internal government department, strip him of his official clothes, and hand it over to the department for interrogation."

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

Chen Baoliang and the others bowed to the order again, and secretly said in their hearts that Jia Cong was worthy of Xu Qingteng's students, and his heart was still towards my Confucianism.

Everything is back on track, Chen Bao's conscience is settled.

He originally thought that Jia Cong would definitely defend Xia Jiang here, but if he didn't want to come, Jia Cong would help him......

"Come on, drag the thief down and fight ......

The order in Chen Baoliang's hand had not yet been thrown out, but he heard a faint sound of blocking from the first place: "Wait, the plaintiff has not yet gone to court, and the case has not been asked, Lord Chen is going to scold Xia Jiang with a cane, isn't it suspected of being beaten into a trick?"

Jia Cong gently stroked the dragon pattern on the imperial decree, and added casually: "If Lord Chen plans to bend into a move, this official will have to talk to a few adults."

"Should the plaintiff go to court first and ask about the case......

Song Zhaolin is still alert, and this will already figure out a little unusual.

He is different from Chen Baoliang, Chen Baoliang has been in the officialdom of Shandong for more than 20 years, but he Song Zhaolin is an outsider sent by the Imperial Historical Observatory in Beijing to patrol Shandong.

It's one thing to dislike eunuchs, but it's another thing if he wants to help the Kong family.

The descendants of the Yansheng Gongfu are not there, and the sick are sick, and today instead of the Yansheng Gongfu is the Yansheng Gongfu Yan tribe, Kong Renxuan's younger brother, Kong Renqiao.

Kong Renxuan, who was dressed in a Confucian robe and large sleeves, saluted the main hall as soon as he entered the lobby, and then retreated to the side and waited for the inquiry.

The interrogation of the case also went well, Xia Jiang didn't know how to restrain himself, and that day he openly rushed into Kong Lin with dozens of minions of the Inner Mansion, and dug people's graves with a hoe, and was arrested.

Kong Lin almost every day there are Confucian scholars from all over the world to come to pilgrimage

If he only talked about the crime of digging forests and graves in Xia Jiang to disturb the holy tomb, he really couldn't escape with all the human and material evidence.

But today is not just a trial of Xia Jiang's crimes, Jia Cong has prepared a big gift for the Yansheng Mansion.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Chen Baoliang only took less than two quarters of an hour to finish the trial of Xia Jiang's case, and Chen Baoliang announced condescendingly: "The criminal Xia Jiang has robbed and excavated the tomb of Kong Lin's ancestors, disturbed the tomb of Kong Sheng, and the human and material evidence are all there. According to the "Great Xia Law", he shall be hanged, and the execution shall be carried out after being reported to the Criminal Department for approval."

"Daxia Law" has a system: those who make graves will be added to the service; Those who have opened the coffin shall be hanged; Those who fail to do so shall be imprisoned for three years.

Xia Jiang excavated several Konglin graves and opened a museum to search. Don't expect that group of rude men from the Inner Mansion Division will be gentle with the corpses in the coffin, it's already good if they don't trample on them.

Punishment is severe according to the law, and the punishment of hanging is also fair and just.

Xia Jiang saw that Jia Cong was slow to speak for himself, and he was about to sign and detain him after the verdict was issued, so he immediately became anxious: "Our family is acting on orders, and the Qufu Kong family is involved in private maritime borders, smuggling and sea trade, colluding with the Zhen family to encroach on the land of the military and people, raising thugs to plague the township, and forming alliances with Haikou and White Lotus bandits...... As the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, our family dug up the tomb of Kong Lin in order to investigate the case and search for evidence......

Rumble!

As if a bomb had been dropped, the Qufu County Ya was in an uproar.

In fact, the dirty things that the Yansheng Mansion has done over the years are more or less known to everyone, but no one could have imagined that the Kong family would be so bold.

Smuggling sea trade is nothing, and there is no one in the south of the Yangtze River who has not privately entered the sea frontier.

However, they really dare not think of such things as encroaching on the land of the army and the people and colluding with the bandits.

"Xia Jiang, do you know what you're talking about?"

Chen Baoliang's expression suddenly became solemn, he had specially asked people to ask the Yansheng Mansion before, but the Yansheng Mansion did not say what case Xia Jiang was digging forests and digging graves.

And when Xia Jiang was arraigned in prison, he never said this. This is not only a case within a case, but also a big case that pierces the sky.

Chen Baoliang and Song Zhaolin glanced at each other, both of them were shocked and inexplicable.

Song Zhaolin asked coldly, "Have you ever found evidence?"

As for Xia Jiang, he couldn't care about digging a pit for Jia Cong at this time: "Our family naturally found incredible evidence, but our family handed over those things to Jia Cong's deputy envoy."

Kong Renqiao's heart fluttered, on the day Xia Jiang was arrested, he specially checked the place where he stored things, and found no traces of being opened.

But Xia Jiang's words were convincing, could it really be that someone sneaked in there and took something?

No, I have to contact my cousin to get the key to open the mechanism and have a look......

Jia Cong carefully observed the expression of this Confucian family's descendant, and when Xia Jiang talked about the evidence, he obviously had a little panic, so he must know a lot.

He didn't protect Xia Jiang's dog life today, but it wasn't for the dignity of Confucianism. It's that when this guy handed over the evidence to Jia Shiyi before, his words were not true, and he must have concealed something.

Coincidentally, the evidence handed over by this guy happened to involve his sworn enemy Zhen family and the Zhongxin Palace, including the jade seal and account books of the country, these things were too pointed, and Jia Cong had to be vigilant.

Who does the jade seal belong to? The people of the Confucian family are destined not to be emperors, let alone follow the path of dragon gong, which dynasty and which generation of emperors do not favor the Confucian family in Qufu?

Since it is not the Kong family, the owner of this seal is up for debate.

Xia Jiang, Xia Jiang, I want to push me Jia Cong to the front of the stage to fight in the ring for you, dreaming!

"Ahem......

Jia Cong didn't speak for a long time, and Chen Baoliang had to cough lightly twice and reminded, "Deputy Envoy Jia, I don't know if the evidence mentioned in Xia Jiangkou's mouth is true?"

"Is there such a thing......

Gross, Chen Baoliang and the others are okay, Kong Renqiao has a stirring spirit in his heart.

I saw Jia Cong beckoning, and Jia Shiyi walked over with a burden in his hand and placed it directly in front of Chen Baoliang and Song Zhaolin.

"There are books and books in it

, all of which record the income and expenditure of the Yansheng Mansion since the 30th year of Zhaowu. There are also a few letters, most of which are about the transactions between the families of Jiangnan, Henan, and Liaodong, and the previous generation of Yan Sheng Gong and the contemporary Yan Sheng Gong. Of course, a letter does not mean that these things are true, after all, the Yansheng Mansion is a descendant of the Confucian Saint, the most holy place in the world, how can such dirty things be done."

As Jia Cong laid out the things in his ambition one by one, the Confucian scholars on the periphery of the lobby had turned from whispering to fierce arguments.

The word Yansheng Gongfu has a very special meaning in the hearts of many readers. As Jia Cong said, it is the most holy place in the world, how can you do such dirty things......

But naïve people are in the minority after all, and some people have been inclined to the theory of guilt. Yansheng Gongfu has a large number of fertile fields in Jinan, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, which can be said to be Tianlian Qianmo.

Every natural and man-made disaster, the place that suffers the most is always close to the Confucian Grange. After the disaster, there is always a large amount of land in the Yansheng Mansion, what a coincidence!

"Silence!"

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Chen Baoliang actually believed what the letter said, he had been in Shandong for 20 years, and he was in an important judicial position such as the criminal prosecution department, and his understanding of the Yansheng Mansion could be said to be more than everyone else.

What are the crimes represented by these things, if they are really investigated, it is estimated that they will have to change a group of people who burned paper money for Kong Sheng's old man.

Chen Baoliang pressed down in front of the hall and made a noise, asking people to send the burden to Xia Jiang: "Look at the evidence you said, but these things?"

When Xia Jiang saw it, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly looked at them one by one.

No, after the people under his command found the evidence, he specially selected a few of them to put into the baggage, and each of them was personally selected, and he remembered it clearly.

What about the jade seal of Fang Chuanguo? What about the letter concerning the Faithful King's house? What about the joint letter that instigated the Confucian family to support the establishment of the Fourteenth Prince as the prince?

Relying only on these few things, it is impossible for him to drag the Jia family into the water, let alone bring down the Zhen family and the Zhongxin Palace......

Xia Jiang looked at Jia Cong resentfully, and saw that Jia Cong was smiling at him with Erlang's legs crossed, and he couldn't help but be angry.

In that case, don't even think about it!

"Lord Chen, our family gave Deputy Envoy Jia more than that. We've found a lot of amazing things. For example, one side is four inches in circumference, the upper button is handed over to five dragons, and the front is engraved with the seal of 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang eight seals......

Thump!

Chen Baoliang fell directly under the chair, and almost exclaimed in unison with everyone, "What? Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity? How can it be? Isn't the jade seal of the country in the palace?"

?Pass?? Referral ticket?
