Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 358 Many acts of unrighteousness will lead to suicide

   Liu Jian sighed inwardly.

  What should come will come eventually.

  These censors, once they want to get to the bottom of something, they will find evidence sooner or later.

  Now, the real evidence is in front of us.

  Liu Jian's face is as usual. After all, he has been in the officialdom for many years, so how could he be intimidated by a little censor.

   "Oh." There was only an understatement, and then there was no more.

  It seems that this Wang Fang censor is reporting to the cabinet's chief minister as usual.

  As a majestic prime minister, it is of course impossible to show any surprise or amazement about trivial matters.

  Fang Jifan was mixed in the crowd, and gave Liu Jian a thumbs up in his heart. Liu Gong...is also very good at acting.

  Wang Fang naturally refused to let go: "Then, Mr. Liu knows..."

  He is still imposing, although he is a little nervous, but he is also a little excited when he thinks that after today's impeachment, he will become famous all over the world!

  So he continued to plausibly say: "Do you know who this fake imperial envoy is?"

   Liu Jian stared at Wang Fang, his face was still calm, under the eyes of everyone, it seemed that Liu Jian was not being criticized by Wang Fang, and he was still extraordinary!

  He smiled slightly and said, "Who is it?"

"It's Liu Jie, Jieyuan Liu Jie in Beizhili, and this Liu Jie is the son of Mr. Liu! Here is the report of the General Soldier of Shanhaiguan. That’s right, it clearly states that the imperial envoy Liu Jie went to Shanhaiguan, and the commander-in-chief waited for hospitality. Liu Jie was under imperial orders and did not stop, so he didn’t stay for long. Afterwards, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan ordered a group of brave cavalry to **** him out of the customs.”

  Suddenly, the whole hall was in an uproar. If so, it would be like sitting on the ground.

  False imperial edicts flowed out of the East Palace, and the person in charge of delivering the false imperial edicts was Liu Jie, the son of the Chief Assistant.

  Although there were some rumors and rumors before, but there is no real evidence, who would dare to question Liu Gong rashly.

   But now, many people are ready to move.

  Liu Jian still smiled, and said lightly: "Really?"

  Wang Fang had a feeling that she tried her best, but hit the cotton.

  In his expectation, Mr. Liu should show a little guilt and surprise, but he is still at ease. This...is different from the pre-rehearsed script.

  Gritting his teeth, he said again: "Dare to ask Mr. Liu, do you know that this person is Liu Jie?"

   "I will thoroughly investigate this matter." Liu Jian responded lightly.

   "..."

  Wang Fang was a little dazed. The old man will investigate thoroughly. This tone seems to be an order from an extraordinary superior.

   There is no awareness of being impeached at all.

  Wang Fang sternly said: "It's already clear. I just want to know if Mr. Liu knows about this? Liu Jie is Mr. Liu's son. It is impossible for Mr. Liu not to know about such a big matter."

   "I don't know!" Liu Jian answered firmly.

   "..."

  Wang Fang's face was a little weird. He didn't expect that Lord Shoufu was so decisive that he didn't give him the slightest gap to exploit.

  Wang Fang had to say: "How could he not know, this is Liu Gong's son."

Liu Jian said indifferently: "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. If my son is guilty, he should investigate thoroughly and let the officials investigate his guilt. Just go and check."

   "..." Wang Fang was convinced.

   Scolded a lot. Originally, in Wang Fang's eyes, the chief assistant should be the defendant, but this chief assistant firmly occupied the judge's seat.

  At this time, Liu Jian said seriously: "Where are the officials?"

  He is the head of the officials, with his own majesty, the Jinshen Palace suddenly fell silent.

  Dali Siqing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stepped forward one after another.

  These three people, no matter which one they are, have much higher official positions than Wang Fang.

  Especially the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even Wang Fang's Shangguan's Shangguan's Shangguan.

  They saluted Liu Jian together: "Mr. Liu, please give me your instructions."

  Liu Jian said solemnly: "This matter is of great importance, right and wrong, if you don't thoroughly investigate, how can you convince others? There have been rumors about false edicts in advance, why didn't you find out in advance?"

"this…"

  Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Minister of Dali Temple, and Yushi Zuodu all showed bitter faces.

  They didn't dare to refute, so they could only obediently listen to the training.

   "As a minister, how can you eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse? Now the public is raging, and the officials turn a deaf ear to it. Why is this? The Metropolitan Procuratorate has found out something in advance, why didn't it report it?"

   Zuodu Yushi was scolded bloody, although there was not a single foul word in this remark, but he was under a lot of pressure, so he said quickly: "Your official must investigate carefully."

   "Not only do we need to conduct a detailed investigation, but we also need to find out the facts. This matter is very involved, and it may harm the country's constitution. It must not be taken lightly!" Liu Jian severely reprimanded.

   "Yes, I understand."

   "..."

  Wang Fang pursed her lips, feeling even more confused.

  Before he came, he was very happy, and finally he was able to make a big and earth-shattering event.

Therefore, he believes that as long as he presents countless evidences in court, Liu Gong will be trembling. Under his righteous words, he will become angry or ashamed, and he will denounce Fang Qiu. From then on, no one in the world knows An iron mouthed Wang Fang.

  But now...it doesn't feel right.

  Why does it seem that Liu Gong is more righteous than himself? I didn't show any of my steadfast demeanor, but Liu Gong, as the chief assistant, put on a stern and selfless look.

  He looked very embarrassed, helplessly looking at Zuodu Yushi who was being taught a lesson.

Under the censor of the left capital is the censor of the right capital; under the censor of the right capital is the censor of the deputy capital; Shi; and this supervisory censor is his ordinary little censor.

  There is a huge gap between him and Zuodu Yushi.

Mr. Liu was questioned by him, and he didn't even bother to refute him, but he picked up his superior's superior to be held accountable, and looked at his superior's superior, who was reprimanded like a pug and couldn't hold his head up. This Wang Fang Immediately, I have a feeling that I am so humble, so humble that others don't bother to care about you.

  Fang Jifan stood in the crowd, too surprised to open his mouth!

What? How could the defendant be so eloquent?

  Fang Jifan couldn't help but glanced at the British Duke Zhang Mao.

   Shame.

   It’s no wonder that Wu Xun were rubbed against the ground by civil servants. After so many years, they are also the princes of the country. Why don’t you teach me not to cry when I don’t see the coffin?

  Look at the family, the clouds and rains have changed after changing hands, if your nephew committed a crime, just kill him and don't admit it. When someone's son committed a crime, he directly turned his back on the customer, and he was steadfast, with an upright, upright and strict attitude, and by the way, he was able to scold the chief officials of their respective divisions! The glorious and tall image instantly stood up.

  And... in Liu Jian's words, he also mentioned that the prince broke the law and the common people are the same crime.

  Fang Jifan subconsciously glanced at Emperor Hongzhi at that time.

  Obviously, this is equivalent to saying that if you want to investigate, you must investigate everything. My son, the crown prince, and Fang Jifan, don’t even try to run away.

  The three people involved are the prince in the palace, the son of the chief of officials, and the rising stars of the Wu Xun Group.

  Fang Jifan can almost imagine how ruthless the three officials of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate are in their hearts!

The little censors can mess around and break jars, but the three chief officials are different. They can have today, but they have spent most of their lives before reaching the pinnacle of life. The little censor can say that I quit, anyway Just a broken black yarn of seventh or eighth rank! But the officials of the second and third ranks, dare to be so willful?

  The young censors are young. After being dismissed from office, they can return to their hometowns to wait for an opportunity. As long as their reputation is still there, they will have a chance to make a comeback sooner or later!

  But the three chief officials have spent most of their lives, and their lives are about to come to an end. Once they are dismissed from office, they can only wait for death.

   "I will obey my orders." Zuodu Yushi said tremblingly, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, this matter will be thoroughly investigated to the end."

  Check it out, this Wang Fang, who doesn't provoke him, but provokes Liu Gong. After returning, the first thing to do is to investigate you Wang Fang. Still don't believe it, you, Wang Fang, didn't have any malpractice for personal gain, even if there wasn't, you haven't been with a prostitute yet?

  Liu Jian nodded and nodded: "No matter who is found, who is involved in this matter, what official position they hold, and whose nephew is it, they must be severely punished. This is a big deal!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

  Liu Jian's face was indifferent, and then he said casually: "Is there anything else to play? If not, then let's start the court discussion. The matter discussed today..."

  The court meeting finally officially started.

  Compared to the scene of confrontation just now, the boring discussion made Fang Jifan drowsy. Finally, when the court meeting was over and was about to leave, Fang Jifan felt an eager gaze!

   Looking up slightly, I saw Zhu Houzhao looking at him eagerly, as if hoping that he would stay!

  Fang Jifan felt that his sitting posture was very unnatural from the beginning to the end, as if he had thought of something, he shuddered suddenly in his heart, and quickly pretended that he did not understand the intention of His Highness the Crown Prince, followed the crowd in desperation, and hurried out of the Jinshen Hall.

   Walking out of Jinshen Hall, a gust of cold wind blows in front of you, making you shiver involuntarily

  Fang Jifan let out a deep breath, he really felt like seeing the sun again.

   Sure enough, after pulling Liu Jie into the water, he had less to worry about.

  Fang Jifan was happy.

   At this moment, someone behind him said calmly: "Uncle Xinjian."

  The dense voice...

  Fang Jifan looked back and saw Liu Jian.

  Fang Jifan showed a smile, saluted and said, "I have met Mr. Liu."

   "Let's go to the old man's office and sit down. I have to discuss with Mr. Xin Xin Bohao about the voyage to the West. This is a major matter that cannot be delayed." Liu Jian put on a straight face, looking business-like.

  Besides, the endless stream of people passed by, no one stayed, even when Zhang Mao passed by, he pretended not to see Fang Jifan, let alone Liu Jian, looked elsewhere, and walked away with his head held high.
