Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 973 Nothing to hide

  In the hall, there was an uproar.

   It was confiscated to the place where the stolen goods were sold?

   This is amazing speed.

  Many people looked at each other in blank dismay.

   There are also many people, who seem a little flustered.

Zhu Houzhao said eloquently: "Father, the place where the stolen goods are sold and hidden is just outside the capital, a Zhuangzi, close to Chenjiazhuang, and my servant has ordered the people of the Feiqiu camp to surround it, and at any time...you can break the door and leave enter."

  The location has been clearly stated.

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback, and looked at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief.

Is that right?

   "Fang Jifan."

  Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "The minister is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Is what the crown prince said true?"

  Fang Jifan said in his heart, why is it like sowing dissension? What the prince said, you come to ask me what to do. If His Royal Highness is a little bit stingy, he will explode.

  However...Fang Jifan is not worried about Zhu Houzhao finding a dry vinegar. This should not be because His Royal Highness is open-minded, but because he is very clever in dealing with people, and his friends in the capital are not dissatisfied with him.

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, I can use the heads of the ten clans, old and young, as a guarantee. What His Royal Highness said is true!"

  Emperor Hongzhi was a little relieved, but he looked at Zhu Houzhao with admiration.

   so easy?

  He said: "So, you said that the case has already been settled, but this?"

   "That's not the case." Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "Father, my son still knows who these damned thieves are."

   There was another uproar in the hall.

  Emperor Hongzhi was worried, so don't blame the deer for a horse. In the past few days, the evidence can be found?

  With no physical evidence, accusing the minister of corruption and breaking the law for no reason, wouldn't it ruin his reputation?

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but said: "Think carefully, if there is no evidence..."

  Zhu Houzhao was very angry: "Father, don't worry, the son has already proved it!"

  Emperor Hongzhi felt guilty when he saw that he was full of confidence.

   Zhu Houzhao was an uncontrollable person, at least Emperor Hongzhi couldn't control it.

  Sometimes this guy can make people's eyes shine, but sometimes, it can make Emperor Hongzhi vomit blood in anger.

  Since...he said it was ironclad evidence...

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Okay, tell me!"

  Zhu Houzhao took a look at Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan gave him an encouraging look, and Zhu Houzhao said: "Wang Yan, the Ministry of War, come out!"

  Among the ministers, one almost sat on the ground.

  Countless people looked in that direction.

  But he saw that Wang Yan looked unlovable.

  He muttered, trying to say something.

Everyone didn't realize that the first person to be named was not Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, nor the chief treasurer of the Ministry of War, but Ge Shizhong, who, despite his humble status, had great power and responsibility. He has the power to inspect the various divisions of the Ministry of War, and can even refute imperial edicts.

   This is a clear stream, and it is a clear stream within a clear stream.

  Wang Yan's face was pale, and he took a few steps with difficulty, and finally fell to the ground: "Chen...Chen..."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked around when he saw this.

  Many ministers looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

   This Wang Yan is obviously a bit of a clean name. How could such a person be greedy for the ink arsenal. After all, he was not the one who handled the checks and cashiers in the arsenal.

   "Is there any real evidence?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao. What he was most worried about was that Zhu Houzhao had no personal evidence in public.

  Zhu Houzhao was happy: "Father, I don't have enough evidence yet."

   "..."

  Just now... just now what did this **** say?

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, obviously just now, you said that you have evidence, turned your head, you don't admit it?

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao angrily, blowing his beard and staring.

  All the ministers in the hall were so shocked that their jaws would drop.

  His Royal Highness...you are...

However, Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Everyone, don't panic and calm down. The evidence is here now. Whether it is Wang Yan, in fact... don't you know if you ask? Your Royal Highness, I am so hungry and thirsty, can you please His Royal Highness, allow the minister to interrogate immediately."

  Zhu Houzhao blushed: "Yes!"

  Personally...examine...

  The monarchs and ministers in this palace still admire Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan.

  If you ask, people will admit that they are fools?

  Fang Jifan calmly walked up to Wang Yan and said, "Wang Shizhong, hello."

  Wang Yan's face was as pale as paper, trembling, he raised his head with difficulty, and looked at Fang Jifan who was smiling.

   But Fang Jifan still looks like a spring breeze: "In my life, I only admire one kind of person, that is, the person who dares to act and act. If a person dares to act but dare not act, is he still a person? This is unreasonable."

  Wang Yan gritted his teeth and said nothing.

  It seems...it doesn't work...

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "You must have a share in the corruption of the arsenal. Of course, you are just a small shrimp, but...you should not be underestimated. I won't talk about it. In fact, your family was in decline at the beginning, but you have been in trouble since then." The title on the gold list, after being an official for a few years, you have money to buy real estate in Xincheng, and you get rich overnight. Why do you say that this money came from corruption, maybe it was picked up on the road, or, It's Madam's dowry, you can buy a house in Xincheng, it's because you understand righteousness, I admire you for having such a vision!"

   "..."

   It is necessary to be praised by the receiver, otherwise how will you open the door to do business in the future, and whether the house will be sold or not.

  Fang Jifan actually doesn't like to investigate corruption cases, this is his own golden job.

  Fang Jifan looked at Wang Yan with a smile.

  Wang Yan just lay on the ground, buried his head, and still didn't say a word.

   "But, Wang Yan, you still dare to say that this has nothing to do with you. The warehouse of Chenjiazhuang has been copied out, and... you are so mad that you assassinated the prince..."

   "No...no, the lower officials absolutely did not assassinate the prince." Wang Yan immediately defended.

"Still saying it wasn't you!" Fang Jifan sternly said: "His Royal Highness just received the order to thoroughly investigate this case, you frenzied thieves dared to bribe assassins to plot evil, do you know what is the crime of assassinating the crown prince? "

   "I...I..." Wang Yan shuddered: "No, no...not a subordinate, no subordinate, no subordinate..."

He cried.

   Almost collapsed.

  Fang Jifan looked at him coldly.

  He looked at Fang Jifan with tears in his eyes.

"me…"

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned...

  There is no evidence for this. Is it useful to rely on cross-examination like this?

   No matter how you look at it, it is not very reliable.

   All civil and military officials felt a little sympathetic to Wang Yan.

  Wang Shizhong doesn't look like it, but Fang Jifan is aggressive here, like a big bad wolf with teeth and claws.

  Fang Jifan just sneered at Wang Yan.

  Wang Yan muttered, his face was full of tears, and he said in a low voice: "Your official... Your official... It is true that a little money was distributed from the arsenal..."

   All of a sudden, the entire Fengtian Temple exploded.

   Actually...admitted.

   This is not torture.

   It was Wang Yan who personally admitted it.

  Everyone looked at all this dumbfounded, feeling incredible.

Wang Yan snotted his nose and burst into tears: "But... this official is not a lunatic. Although this official is corrupt and perverts the law, but... he has never, assassinated His Highness the Crown Prince. The assassination of His Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do with this official. Officer, you can... swear to God, it really... has nothing to do with it..."

  He trembled all over, like chaff.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan in shock, and then at Zhu Houzhao who was triumphant.

  Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands, but sneered: "Didn't you commit the assassination? If it wasn't you, there could be others. Could it be your other accomplices?"

   "This... this... the next official will not know." Wang Yan was trembling.

  It's not that he has a bad mental quality.

   There is no one with a bad mental quality who can become a military officer.

  In fact, last night, in the small hall, he was ready to burn the boat.

  For his own future, he must cover up his crimes, but when he heard that His Royal Highness was assassinated, he was completely paralyzed.

   Who did the assassination. Although it wasn't him, but...he couldn't guarantee if it was another accomplice.

  These damned accomplices, how dare they take risks like this, a corruption case has turned into a big case of treason.

  Even if it is corruption, if he is exposed and admits it, he can grit his teeth and take all the crimes on himself.

  After all, the worst and worst result is just beheading, but his wife and children will be taken care of by someone. If he is lucky, His Majesty will be generous with his kindness. Perhaps, he will just be dismissed from office and exiled.

  But when the news of the assassination came, he was completely dumbfounded.

   There are bad guys in the same party, how can he carry this blame, this is a serious crime against the nine clans.

  His teeth were trembling constantly...

  Even the Chenjiazhuang has been confiscated, although... there is not much evidence of his own crimes in the Chenjiazhuang. However, it's only been a few days, and the progress is so fast. In addition, His Royal Highness, directly called his name, has a goal, continues to follow the vine, and is found out. Isn't it a matter of time?

  Since it is a matter of time, denying death here is almost tantamount to committing death. Corruption is only a trivial matter now, but...the assassination of the crown prince by Zhu Jiu Clan is the key.

"Xiaguan... Xiaguan... What Xiaguan said... is true, Fang Duwei, you have to believe me, you must trust me, Xiaguan... the family is in decline, studying hard, getting a gold medal title, at the beginning, also I once wanted to be a good official, but... to be an official... I'm afraid of being poor, I'm afraid of being poor."

His face was full of annoyance and remorse, and his tears were overflowing: "The sky net is full and sparse, and the lower officials will not be able to escape the law after all, but...but since His Royal Highness and Fang Duwei are so... so discerning, please... please invite His Royal Highness and Fang Duwei." Fang Duwei, don't pin this serious crime of treason on the lower official, the lower official... the lower official..."
