Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 547 Zhou Ji confesses!

"Of course I have evidence!" Wu Zhi said.

At this time, Xiao Er, who had already prepared to be outside the hall, was brought in.

Pfft!
Xiao Er knelt on the ground and said, "See Your Majesty!"

"Tell Your Majesty everything you know!"

Wu Zhi's voice came.

Xiao Er looked a little nervous, although he was Xiao Er on the surface, but he was a member of Wu Zhi's intelligence agency secretly, after all, he was just an ordinary person hiding in Bianjing City to inquire about news.

Many eyes glanced at him. He had never seen so many high officials, let alone the current officials.

He didn't dare to raise his head, and then said: "Your Majesty, I was at Laifu Restaurant that day, and heard Mr. Zhou talking with several officials in the private room about how to spread the scarcity of gold and devalue paper money!"

"I also said that the national policy of banknotes by Prime Minister Wu would be completely abolished. At that time, I thought it was just a joke about their drinking, but who would have thought that the banknotes in Bianjing City would really start to depreciate in a few days."

"The common people are talking about the rumors that paper money is worthless, and they also say that Xiaodao gold will no longer be provided to Da Song, and that gold will be the currency of the future, and it will be too late if it is not exchanged.

Only then did the little one know that what Master Zhou said was true, and that he conspired with several adults to create this incident. "

"Ridiculous!" Hearing these words, Zhou Ji began to tremble all over, his eyes were murderously staring at Xiao Er, but he didn't notice that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Your Majesty, he is framing this humble minister!"

Song Huizong: "Go on!"

Xiaoer said again: "They also said that the purpose of this banknote disturbance is to undermine Prime Minister Wu's national policy, saying that Prime Minister Wu has affected their interests in the court, and what new law will be implemented in the future. They are determined to get Wu Zhi out of the court. Hall."

"Your Majesty, the little words are true, don't dare to lie, what you said is what you heard that day, and I don't know what else they said later!"

"Zhou Ji!" Song Huizong looked at Zhou Ji: "Here is the witness, what else can you say?"

Zhou Ji knelt down in front of Song Huizong with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, he is making a false accusation. Prime Minister Wu didn't know where to find someone. He speaks empty teeth. His words are unconvincing. You can't believe him!"

Zhao Shudao: "Father, I feel that what this person said may not be true, he must have received benefits. If he continues to talk nonsense and slander Mr. Zhou, it is better to imprison him for strict interrogation! Find out the truth!"

"Wait!"

Wu Zhi: "King Su, this is the witness invited by the truth, but he said a few facts, why are you so eager to take him away for interrogation? If this matter has nothing to do with King Su, King Su will not Interfering."

Xiao Er immediately said: "Your Majesty, during the discussions that day, it was vaguely mentioned that this matter has something to do with King Su. They also said that His Majesty is fatuous, and that he valued Wu Zhi too much, which made their life difficult."

The whole court shook.

If the situation is true, Zhou Ji's words are simply outrageous, and he dared to scold the king behind his back for being fatuous.

This is very serious.

Moreover, it was also revealed that King Su knew about this matter.

Zhou Ji's face was full of disbelief: "Fart! When did I say that this matter was related to King Su, and when did I say that His Majesty is stupid?
This is all a false accusation!
Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for my minister, I have never said these words.Absolutely not! "

Zhou Ji thought it was nothing before, but Xiao Er actually started to frame him.

He is in a hurry!

He didn't say anything after that.

Song Huizong's expression changed when he heard the word Hunjun. What he hated the most was that someone said he was a Hunjun, although he hadn't heard anyone say he was a Hunjun so far.

These two words are the last thing an emperor likes to hear.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, in short Song Huizong was very unhappy.

Wu Zhi was also secretly surprised, he didn't let Xiao Er say the latter words.

This is what he thought.Secretly thought that this kid is a talent, he was threatened by King Su, and immediately bit back...

Wu Zhi: "Master Zhou, you keep saying that he is framing, and I ask you the truth, where were you at Shenshi that afternoon!"

Zhou Ji: "I, I am..."

This question is very dangerous, almost investigating his whereabouts. If he said that he was in a restaurant, wouldn't that be the default?
If he said that in other places, there is a certain risk of exposure, but at this moment the situation is urgent, he said: "When I applied that day, I never went out in the mansion!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhi smiled.

Zhou Ji didn't dare to admit that he was in the restaurant that day, since that was the case, Zhou Ji was finished, since he was caught by Wu Zhi when he lied.

Wu Zhi clapped his hands.

Three more people walked in.

It's the owner of the restaurant and two other workers.

When Wu Zhi asked for witnesses, he also thought about these things. Before he went to the court, he asked people to do the work, and he could enter the palace with his warrant.

Facing Prime Minister Wu, the owner and workers of the restaurant did not dare to treat him slowly, they just said what they saw.

Wu Zhi: "Your Majesty, these three people are all from Laifu Restaurant. They can prove that Zhou Ji appeared in Laifu Restaurant at Shenshi that day, and I have a receipt here."

Wu Zhi took out a piece of paper from his pocket: "It clearly states that of course they spent a total of 1000, 30, and 13 yuan. A large group of people ate and drank a lot! They sat in private room No. [-]. See it that day A lot of people came to them, and these few are witnesses."

"Your Majesty, I did see Mr. Zhou in the restaurant that afternoon."

The owner of the restaurant is a relatively fat person, trembling at the moment: "Master Zhou often goes to our restaurant, so I know him. The rest of the people don't seem to be from here, and the villain is not familiar with him."

"But I can confirm that in the afternoon Shen Shizhou Master did come to have a drink with a group of people and reserved a private room."

The two small workers next to him also began to identify Zhou Ji.

Facing the sudden extra identification, Zhou Ji was taken aback.

This Wu Zhi is too ruthless!
Wu Zhi immediately said: "Zhou Ji, you said you were at the mansion this afternoon, but someone saw you appearing in the restaurant with their own eyes. If you didn't do these things, why did you lie? Why did you lie to His Majesty? Have you still not admitted it?"

In fact, it doesn't matter whether he admits it or not at this moment.

Wu Zhi has a receipt, there are witnesses, and Li Gefei, Wang Wei and others also stand up and criticize severely at this moment, and everyone is staring at Zhou Ji.

Song Huizong finally said: "Zhou Ji, you dare to deceive me!... You haven't done it for real!"

At this moment, King Su couldn't sit still, because the little girl just said that this matter was related to him.

Now regardless of whether the testimony is true or not, with such a commotion, and the fact that his father believed in Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi would definitely punish Zhou Ji, and he might not be able to escape this hurdle.

Su Wang Zhao Shu gave Zhou Ji a look: "Zhou Ji, if you are really wronged, this king will investigate the matter thoroughly for you, if you do, just admit it honestly, maybe the emperor can forgive me and give you a lighter sentence , after all, you are also a person with seniors and juniors, so don't be confused at this moment!"

When Zhou Ji heard this, he looked at Zhao Shu, he couldn't understand Zhao Shu's words.

If this matter is thoroughly investigated, he will definitely show his feet, and he will not stand up to strict interrogation at all.

The main reason is that he was targeted by Wu Zhi.

If no one cares, it's not a big deal at all.It was he who took the initiative to deal with Wu Zhi, and now he can't blame others.

If he refuses to admit it, then King Su will really be involved. Zhao Shu is the prince, so he will have no major problems, but Zhao Shu will never let him go in the future.

Zhao Shu was threatening.

Zhou Ji's mind went blank. This kind of thing happened too fast, just like banknotes collapsed and depreciated. He looked desperate and finally confessed.

And put everything on him, let alone dare to involve Zhao Shu.

"Your Majesty, I have pleaded guilty. The matter of banknotes was made by me. It has nothing to do with other people. King Su never participated in it. It was all committed by me. The rest of the officials only listened to my deliberations, but did not Pay attention, everything is done by this humble minister, and please punish him!"

Zhou Ji's face was pale, and he took off his official hat, with a look of despair.

The whispers in his ears sounded like a dreamlike world in his mind, and he knew he was done.

Especially the way Wu Zhi looked at him, like a tiger staring at a cat, he couldn't escape at all.

Hearing his confession, the other party's eyes softened.

Wu Zhi arched his hands: "Your Majesty, now that Zhou Ji has confessed, please punish him severely! Otherwise, there will be more people who want to disrupt the Song Dynasty's economy and cause unnecessary troubles for the Song Dynasty! As for whether other people are involved, It's not important anymore! According to the current situation, this person is the main culprit!"

Wu Zhi didn't expect to be able to pull Zhao Shu down this time, he was the prince, so it was impossible for him to do anything because of this incident, and it was found that Song Huizong was afraid, maybe even Zhou Ji would not be easy to deal with.

So Wu Zhi punished Zhou Ji by name, and the rest would not be held accountable. In this way, Song Huizong would take advantage of the situation and settle the matter.

Even so, Zhao Shu was not very good in Song Huizong's impression.It will have a great influence on his future struggle for the crown prince.

After all, he is the prince, but what he does is harmful to the economy of the Song Dynasty, and he will be criticized by others. Whether he joins or not, he will be embarrassed.

Wu Zhi's people also used this to make a fuss in the court to refute him as the prince.
