Zhou Xing angrily returned to the Criminal Prison Department and immediately wrote a letter full of Xu Yougong's false accusations.

After Li Jing saw it, he called Zhou Xing over, and as soon as he saw Zhou Xing, he falsely accused Xu Yougong of having the heart of rebellion, and persuaded Li Jing to punish Xu Yougong as soon as possible!

"You keep saying that Xu Yougong has the heart of rebellion, what evidence do you have? Xu Yougong has been honest and honest since he became an official, how can I execute him because of a few words from you? ”

Li Jing asked, Xu Yougong's conduct and upholding the justice of the law can stand the test, Xu Yougong is a clean official, so naturally he can't conclude that Xu Yougong has the heart of rebellion just by Zhou Xing's words!

The key is who he wants to rebel against, and for what is he rebelling, there is no evidence to prove that Xu Yougong is guilty, so he will kill him, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people in the world.

What Zhou Xing said, Li Jing didn't quite believe it, how much credibility could be said by a cool official who relied on fabricating charges and falsely accusing others!

If this is a corrupt official, a family gatekeeper, or a person who obstructs the imperial power, and is falsely accused by Zhou Xing, it can only mean that they are unlucky, and Li Jing will not ask too much.

Originally, the purpose of leaving these cool officials was to deal with the family gate lords and some traitors, not those clean and good officials who were the facts for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

If Zhou Xing doesn't know how to put himself in the right position, Li Jing feels that it is necessary to beat it up, so that Zhou Xing and others can understand what they should do and what they should not do, and judge the situation to be a person!

"Xu Yougong has an old relationship with Li Renfu's wife's maiden family, and when Empress Wu was dictatorship, they had a lot of private contacts, and Li Renfu's wife's maiden family also participated in Wei's rebellion!"

"They plotted to assassinate the regent at the beginning, Xu Yougong has an old relationship with them, it is impossible not to know about the assassination, Xu Yougong must have secretly colluded with them."

"Therefore, Xu Yougong will exonerate the rebels, and the crime should be executed! The minister heard that the Han Dynasty had a law, and he echoed and favored his colleagues or subordinates, but deceived the king's people to behead! Those who bully the king in front of him will also be beheaded!"

"The Rites say: Those who speak sophistry and distort the law will be killed, Xu Yougong deliberately exonerated the rebels, his crimes cannot be pardoned, and the regent is asked to sentence him according to his crimes."

Zhou Xing hurriedly said.

He didn't believe that it couldn't be solved like this, a guy like Xu Yougong who was in the way!

As long as Xu Yougong is solved, see who else dares to go against him in the future, and those who dare to go against him, Xu Yougong will be their example, and in the end they will only die without a place to be buried!

Li Jing looked at Zhou Xing, and when it came to clever sophistry, I am afraid that there are only cool officials such as Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, and ministers like Xu Yougong who enforce the law impartially are not as good at clever sophistry as them!

"What you say is not enough to be trusted, unless you have evidence that Xu Yougong colluded with Li Renfu's brothers to rebel, otherwise you are falsely accusing others!"

"What this king hates the most is the trick of bending into a trick and falsely accusing others, but the originally innocent person has become a guilty person, Zhou Qing, you shouldn't be such a person, right?"

Li Jing sneered.

"The minister is loyal to the regent, and there is absolutely no selfishness, please ask the regent Mingjian!"

Zhou Xing crossed his hands and saluted, chuckled in his heart, silently guessing what Li Jing meant by these words, he was good at figuring out Li Jing's superiors.

From Li Jing's words, he heard that he didn't want to deal with Xu Yougong, and at the same time there was a warning!

"I naturally believe in Zhou Qing's loyalty, but this case involves my royal family in the Tang Dynasty, so I can't help but treat it carefully, so be it! also give Xu Yougong a chance to defend himself! ”

"Ximen Yang, you go to the yamen of the criminal department quickly and call Xu Yougong, I want to hear what he has to say, what do you have to justify!"

Li Jing directly asked Ximenyang to call Xu Yougong, and didn't give Zhou Xing a chance to speak at all!

Zhou Xing knew that if he couldn't overthrow Xu Yougong this time, it would be even more difficult to overthrow Xu Yougong next time, but looking at Li Jing's attitude, Zhou Xing knew in his heart that it would be impossible to overthrow Xu Yougong!

As soon as Ximen Yang came out of the gate of the regent, he bumped into Xu Yougong who was walking towards him, and pulled Xu Yougong in front of Li Jing without saying anything.

After Xu Yougong finished his salute, Li Jing asked directly: "I heard that you deliberately harbored the rebel and exonerated the rebel, are you guilty?" ”

"Regent, Weichen has never exonerated the rebels, how can he cover it up?"

Xu Yougong retorted, he knew that it must be Zhou Xing who said something, and Li Jing would ask him about Xingshi!

However, he is not afraid of shadows, and what he has not done, he will not take it on himself, and he will never exonerate the criminal.

If even he, a judicial official, does something that knows the law and breaks the law, then who else will fight for justice, and who will go back to uphold the justice of the law.

"Brother Li Renfu rebelled, why do you want to excuse them, this is biasing your colleagues, but they came to deceive me, what crime do you think you should be guilty of?"

Li Jing asked.

"The minister did not favor his colleagues, but acted according to the law! The Li Renfu brothers were not guilty in the first place, so why did they convict them arbitrarily? ”

Xu Yougong will not back down because of Li Jing, as long as the evidence is not conclusive to prove guilty, he will strive to uphold justice for the other party and return the other party's innocence.

It can be said that he Xu Yougong is one of the few clear streams in the Tang Dynasty, and in order to maintain the law and discipline, he can face anyone head-on, even if the other party will kill him, Xu Yougong still refuses to back down.

"You say that Brother Li Renfu is not guilty? How do you tell they are innocent? ”

Li Jing asked.

He hadn't read the case file of Li Renbo's brother, and he didn't know much about what happened, and the only thing he knew was the information reported by Wan Guojun.

I heard Zhou Xing say that Li Ren's conspiration against the case was judged by Dali Temple, why did he go to Xu Yougong but it became an unjust case?

"Li Renfu and the two brothers did not rebel in the first place, the two brothers are just practicing martial arts and arrows in private, if they can even be convicted of this, this is wronging people!"

"The minister can't see such a random wrongful thing happening, what is the use of the law in doing so? That's why the minister has to correct such a mistake!"

"Brother Li Renfu is a member of the Tang royal family, a relative of the regent and a saint, even if they are really guilty, they should be tried by Zongzheng Temple, how can it be decided by Dali Temple and the Criminal Department!"

Xu Yougong's tone was firm, the emperor had a special organization for managing clan relatives and relatives called Zongzheng Temple, if someone in the imperial family committed a crime, unless there was an edict from the emperor, otherwise, other yamen had no right to try and dispose of the imperial relatives of the Tang Dynasty.

Judged privately by Dali Temple, it is not in line with the rules, and now it is about to be falsely accused of rebellion, Xu Yougong naturally can't sit idly by!

It stands to reason that this case should be managed by Zongzheng Temple, and then, reported to the emperor, if Dali Temple needs to be retried, it must be edicted by the emperor before it can be handed over to Dali Temple!

Li Jing frowned after hearing this, if it was just a simple practice of martial arts and arrows, it really couldn't be said that Li Renfu's brothers rebelled, and the Tang royal family had the blood of the Hu people, and it was normal for them to like to practice martial arts and arrows.

What's more, among the six arts of a gentleman, one of them is archery, and practicing martial arts archery is also one of the lessons.

"If that's the case, they're really wronged, Wan Guojun, as the superintendent of the imperial history, actually dares to frame the clan at will, it's really hateful! Quickly send someone to arrest Wan Guojun!"

Li Jing said angrily, Wan Guojun actually dared to frame his brother of the same clan, he deserved to die!

If Wan Guojun succeeds, wouldn't it ruin his reputation as Li Jing, saying that he and his clan brothers can't tolerate it, and who will dare to work for him in the future!

You must know that the Tang Dynasty is an example of father's kindness and filial piety, brothers, friends and brothers, and Emperor Taizong is an example for him to learn!

"Regent!"

Zhou Xing hurriedly spoke.

"What else do you have to say?"

Li Jing looked at Zhou Xing coldly.

"Today they dare to wield knives and guns, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not rebel tomorrow, why not prepare early!"

Zhou Xing hurriedly said.

If Li Renfu's brother is not guilty, this does not mean that Wan Guojun falsely accused the emperor's relatives, and framing the emperor's relatives is a big crime.

Therefore, Zhou Xing must also exonerate Wan Guojun and try to keep Wan Guojun's wealth!

"Wan Guojun framed my brother of the same clan, the crime is unforgivable, you don't have to exonerate him, if you can infer the crime of rebellion with a knife and a gun, then what can't be convicted of rebellion?"

Li Jing said.

Zhou Xing saw that it was irreparable, so he could only keep his mouth shut, so as not to affect him.

"I got a bottle of good wine yesterday, and it's not interesting to drink alone, so how about a few drinks with me?"

Li Jing said with a smile, planning to take this opportunity to knock Zhou Xing so as not to do anything out of the ordinary.

Ximen Yang immediately asked the maid to bring the wine up, and planned to pour the wine himself, but Li Jing stretched out his hand to stop him, looked at Zhou Xing and said: "There is something you can do immediately, this matter of pouring wine, just bother Zhou Qing to come!" ”

Li Jing whispered a few words in Ximenyang's ear, and Ximenyang took the order and left.

Zhou Xing took the wine bottle from the maid's hand, uncorked the wine bottle, poured a few glasses of wine, picked up the first glass of wine, and respectfully handed it to Li Jing with both hands.

Li Jing didn't answer, looked at Zhou Xing and said, "It's hard work, this first glass of wine should be meritorious!"

Zhou Xing's face changed slightly after hearing this, knowing that it was Li Jing who was beating him, so that he could understand who was the real master of Datang.

Li Jing took the wine glass handed by Zhou Xing and said with a smile: "Treat the people below!" From time to time, they have to tighten their skins, save them from time to time, they are powerful, and they don't even forget what they are!"

"Let the people below know that if you can let them climb up, you can kick them down, you don't know how to score inches, there is only one dead end!"

"That's what the Lord Regent said!"

Zhou Xing said respectfully.

……

"Mr. Simon, why are you here in person?"

"The regent has ordered me to come and invite you to hunt on the outskirts of Chang'an City! Tomorrow at half past eight, don't forget. ”
