Domineering Daming

Soon, word came out from the Imperial Prison that the evidence of Wang Wenyan's bribery was confirmed, and Zuo Guangdou and others "unnecessarily" participated, which made the courtiers who were still stuck in Jingyang Palace extremely embarrassed.But they still didn't leave, they extremely distrusted Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, and asked Zhu Youxiao to transfer him to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and other judicial departments immediately.

How could Zhu Youxiao trust them, and he refused to see them all the time, and when he came down with a reprimand, he made a group of people unable to advance or retreat, making them even more embarrassing.

But no matter how embarrassing, they still have to eat and drink. This is a very bad step, but they have to go down.Now that the evidence is convincing, they have already appeared to be "unreasonable making trouble", if they continue, they will anger the emperor and be expelled from the palace.

Yang Lian and the others left the palace, after a little discussion, all the people belonging to their "circle" followed Yang Lian back to Yang's residence.

Chapter 158 Zuo Guangdou and others plead guilty

After eating for a while, the Yang family gathered in the lobby, looking at each other solemnly.

There is the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there is the Rites to Shizhong, and there is the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment. They are either Yang Lian's friends of the same year or fellow villagers.

"Brother Yang, the emperor intends to favor his ministers. This situation must be contained, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

"Yes, Wei Xie has become more and more arrogant recently. If this continues, I'm afraid we will all become fish on the chopping board!"

"Brother Zuo and others must be rescued, no matter how much money is spent!"

"That's right, Wei Xie is now looking for money everywhere, as long as he is rescued, we have enough methods and manpower to deal with him!"

Yang Lian kept listening with a straight face, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Mr. Yang, go and try to see brother Zuo and others first, and discuss the specific methods when I come back."

"This is a good way, talk to Brother Zuo and others first, and see if there is a way to fix the matter!"

"The big deal is to ask Brother Xiong to come back and confront each other. We must find a way to get Brother Zuo and others off the hook!"

"We will use justice to exorcise evil spirits, and we will never allow Wei Xie to be so ruthless!"

When a group of people stood up, they were all generous.

Yang Lian changed his clothes and went straight to Zhenfu Prison in a sedan chair.

It stands to reason that the governor's prison is an imperial prison, which cannot be easily entered.But the prison had just been cleaned not long ago, and there was no one in charge, and Tian Ergeng was an "outsider" that everyone knew well, so Yang Lian, the housekeeper, slipped Yang Lian in with a piece of silver. .

When he saw the faceless Zuo Guangdou and the others in a circle, his eyes immediately opened with fury, and he was about to curse.

"Brother Yang, please suppress your anger."

Gu Dazhang was covered in blood, tilted his head and looked at him dyingly, and said, "Tell me what's going on outside."

Zuo Guangdou and others also knew that since the eunuchs used torture without any scruples, it was likely that they had some evidence to get the emperor's acquiescence, so they immediately asked questions.

Yang Lian suppressed his anger, his face was ashen, and told the general situation.

A jailer poked his head out and reminded in a low voice: "Master Yang, please make the long story short, Lord Tian will be back after a long time."

After hearing Ye Yang Lian's words, Zuo Guangdou and the others looked at each other and became serious.

They don't know Wang Wenyan's situation for the time being, but it seems that they have not confessed to them, otherwise there is no need to delay until now.

Zuo Guangdou thought for a while, looked at the others and said, "Everyone, the situation is critical. I'm afraid Wei Xie won't let me out easily. If I confess the crime first, once Wei Zhongxian relaxes his vigilance, we will be sent back to the Ministry of Punishment." , there must be a time to counterattack and expel!"

Literati never directly open their mouths to kill, but Zuo Guangdou's calm voice was full of murderous intent.

After hearing this, Wei Dazhong and the others began to discuss in low voices.

The jailer popped up again and shouted in a low voice: "Master Yang, you'd better leave quickly, or you won't be able to leave!"

Zuo Guangdou looked at Yang Lian, and said: "Brother Yang, you can go first, I will recognize you first, and trouble you to walk around the punishment department."

After hearing this, Yang Lian nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll make arrangements outside and wait for you to come out." After Yang Lian finished speaking, she hurriedly left the Asura Ghost Envoy.

Not long after Yang Lian left, Tian Ergeng came back.

He came back from Dongchang this time, the corners of his face became more ferocious, with a long whip in his hand, he stared at Zuo Guangdou and the others sternly and said, "My lords, how about the torture tools of Fusi in Beizhen? Don't worry. , there are so many, some time for you to taste them one by one!"

Wei Dazhong and the others looked angrily, but gritted their teeth and said nothing, they all looked at Zuo Guangdou.

Zuo Guangdou was in pain all over his body, and there was a striking bloodstain on his face. He looked at Tian Ergeng, took a deep breath, and said, "No need, we confess it."

"confess?"

Tian Ergeng was obviously stunned for a moment, then sneered, and said: "It's ridiculous and pathetic to say that you would rather die than submit, but you are not soft-boned!"

Several people immediately filled their chests with anger and couldn't help cursing. Zuo Guangdou said with a more calm expression: "Don't talk nonsense, bring a pen and paper, and we will sign it."

Tian Ergeng was very disappointed, he looked at them coldly, the corner of his face twitched, he threw away the whip in his hand and shouted: "Come on!"

Soon, the reasonable criminal officer ran in, gave them a statement one by one, and signed and pledged.

Until it was confirmed, these people all admitted to providing silver taels to Wang Wenyan, allowing him to bribe the inner court and the cabinet, Tian Ergeng frowned, stood up and said: "Take care of me, no one is allowed to see them!"

The jailer gave him a careful look, and said, "It's my lord."

Tian Ergeng went straight to Dongchang with their confessions and handed them over to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the confessions of several people who were roughly the same, his expression was indifferent, and there was a dark light in his eyes.

Since Xu Xianchun's death, Tian Ergeng has obviously become more cautious. He looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Eunuch, they have all pleaded guilty, what should we do, should we just let them go like this?"

These people are well-known in the government and the opposition, and it is difficult to completely overthrow them for this matter. They can't just find an excuse not to admit it as soon as they go out, and continue to fight back.

"Let go?" Wei Zhongxian's brows twitched involuntarily, the killing intent in his heart boiled, and a sneer appeared on his face.Wei Zhongxian was already intent on killing this group of people, if Zhu Xu hadn't been behind him, he would have died of torture like Zhou Jianzong.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhezi, his eyes twitched, and said, "Since they admit it, let's continue chasing the stolen goods!"

"Pursuing stolen goods?" Tian Ergeng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled ferociously: "It's the father-in-law, the subordinate understands, so go back and continue to torture!"

Wei Zhongxian nodded, and said: "No matter what, save their lives."

Tian Ergeng naturally agreed, turned around and went straight to Beizhen Fusi Prison without stopping.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the stack of certificates, thought for a while, and then went directly to the palace.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the five evidences, his face was livid, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

Every testimony was written clearly, and the handwriting of Zuo Guangdou and others was also neat and tidy.Everything appeared in front of Zhu Youxiao so nakedly, which made him unbelievable, and at the same time made him hate like never before, his hands shaking when he picked up the booklet.

"This is the late emperor's minister who entrusted Gu to him! This is the clear stream of iron courage and loyalty!"

Zhu Youxiao flicked his hand violently, and these testimonies were flying all over the sky.

"The emperor calm down!" Wei Zhongxian hurriedly knelt on the ground, motionless.

Zhu Youxiao was so angry that the secretary in the cabinet bribed the inner court, hooked up with Wang An and others, and the officials such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate opened their eyes for them. What exactly is this trying to do?

Zhu Youxiao was furious, suddenly his face became stiff, big drops of cold sweat fell from his head, and his body fell straight down.
