The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

The young official's words were powerful and reasonable, so that Sun Ronghai and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment couldn't find any loopholes to refute for a while, so they were furious, and their faces flushed even more.

Especially at the end of the man's speech, the spearhead pointed directly at the two of them, and what they were most worried about and feared in their hearts, Sun Ronghai didn't care whether he would be suspected at the moment, and glared at the young official directly. Pointing at his nose, he cursed angrily:

"Your disrespectful boy, this is above the Golden Temple, not a place where you can run wild! It is really unreasonable for you to frame this official with empty words! Not even born yet!

A yellow-mouthed boy with no hair at all, who is neither a censor nor has any evidence, dares to frame two important officials of the court and the elders of the three dynasties at the same time here. Who gave you the courage?It is already the emperor's grace to allow you to listen in, but you dare to interrupt indiscriminately!

The case-handling process and methods of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, could it be that the Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is not as clear as you, a small Imperial Academy attendant, is really ridiculous!Don't think that you know everything after reading a few books of the Dayong Law!

You have never actually worked in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and you have never been in touch with the criminal department's case handling and handling process. Who gave you the confidence to speak nonsense here? "

As Sun Ronghai said, he looked at Situ Meng subconsciously, the meaning of pointing at Sang and scolding Huai was obvious.

Unlike Sun Ronghai who was clamoring anxiously, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice has slowly calmed down at this moment, secretly made eye contact with several adults who are close to him, and looked at standing in the middle of the hall, naturally with his hands folded on his chest, looking fearless, Situ Meng, who is not afraid of the sky, who is not afraid of appearance, and Situ Yong, who is also confident standing aside, and the emperor Situ Qing, who is always sitting on the high throne, does not look at him.

Then he turned his head and looked at Sun Ronghai who was still spitting and roaring non-stop. He seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.

However, there is one thing that he clearly knows, that is, at this moment, it is reasonable for him to keep his mouth shut, and he can no longer get involved in the matter here.

This case has been continuously extended by the government of the Duke of Qi in a more dangerous direction. At this time, the nervous sweat of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice has soaked his underwear, and he began to quickly recall what kind of contact he had with the Duke of Qi, especially Yes, among the crimes raised by Prince Zhongshun just now, which ones might implicate him.

All of a sudden, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice's mind spun rapidly, and now he has long since lost the aggressiveness when he was arguing with Situ Meng just now. He wished he could slap himself a few times, and regretted that he had interrupted so stupidly at Sun Ronghai's instigation just now.

Although Qi Guogong participated in private salt and tea sales in private, he had vaguely heard some rumors, but at that time he just thought that Qi Guogong was just playing around and making a little money, and he didn't take it to heart at all. However, he did not expect that he even dared to sell ironware. In terms of importance and danger, salt and tea added together are not as important as ironware!

After all, Duke Qi has always worn a pair of trousers with Duke Li, the son-in-law. Almost all the business of Duke Qi’s mansion is done with Duke Li. Compared with him, everything is more serious.

Not to mention that he is a small secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, even the emperor would not trouble Duke Li for such a trivial matter of money. After all, the Supreme Emperor is still alive, and he usually takes good care of this brother-in-law.

In this world, perhaps only Situ Meng, the loyal and obedient prince, dared to arrest Li Guogong's loyal younger brother Qi Guogong directly without any scruples, and laid out the crimes he committed so carelessly to announce to the whole world up!

After all, among the two generations of emperors, one is his own father, who is very fond of this old man who has good abilities and is excellent in all aspects.

Not to mention the new emperor, for this younger brother who has the same father and mother and was brought up by himself, he dotes on him more than his own son, not to mention that what he does is beneficial to the court, the people, and It is a great thing that benefits the world, even if it turns black and white and pokes a huge hole, even if the emperor is angry, he will still help him clean up the mess, and will not let anyone hurt him at all.

At this moment, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice suddenly discovered that Situ Meng looked at himself and Sun Ronghai without any anger at all, but without any emotion at all, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Suddenly, he shuddered, feeling that he was really going to be in trouble this time, but for a moment he didn't know what to do, how to remedy it, so he just stood there stupidly. He stayed where he was, and didn't notice that Sun Ronghai winked at him several times.

"Your Majesty, you are old and incompetent, and you can be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties, but now you are so wantonly slandered by such an ignorant junior, ruining the reputation of the old minister for a lifetime! Please also ask the emperor to be the master of the old minister! We must not encourage their arrogant behavior." Arrogance, let it mess up the court!"

Sun Ronghai cites scriptures, eloquently, and criticizes the young official from head to toe. At the end of his speech, he looked at the emperor with affection and asked the emperor to make decisions for him.

The emperor looked at Sun Ronghai who was like a clown, and he just didn't bother to pay attention.In fact, after the death of the former prince, although the Supreme Emperor did not further pursue the responsibility of Sun Ronghai, he directly deprived him of most of his rights, leaving only the empty title of Prince Taifu and the official title of first-rank vain.

Afterwards, in order to fight for power and profit, he has always used stupid tricks frequently. After Situ Qing ascended the throne, he secretly got together with Situ Yong and the Zhen family, and he used many times to build bridges and win Situ Yong a lot. Family nobles and officials at all levels.

Not only that, this Sun Ronghai often helped Situ Yong stand in the court hall, and took the lead in singing against the emperor, just like a toad landed on the feet, it didn't bite, but it was too aggressive.

Although the emperor would not spend too much effort to deal with him, he has never directly attacked him. He mainly wanted to thoroughly investigate the conspiracy of the Zhen family and Situ Yong through him, so that he could give them back when needed. A sure blow.

"Hehe..." Situ Meng chuckled twice, looked at Sun Ronghai with contempt and contempt, and said unceremoniously:

"Why do you say that people slander you? Do you really think that no one will know about the nasty things you did with the Duke of Qi? When this king is accused of various crimes against the Duke of Qi, this civil and military man of the Manchu Dynasty belongs to you. Worry! If you say you have nothing to do with him, even a three-year-old would not believe it!"

As Situ Meng said, he pointed to the remaining information in the box that he hadn't mentioned, and said solemnly: "Master Sun, don't be so anxious, there are quite a lot of things about you in it!"

As soon as Situ Meng finished speaking, everyone in the hall who had secretly communicated with the Duke of Qi felt a thump in their hearts, and their eyes were full of fear and fear when they looked at the small box.

"No, it's impossible! This official is law-abiding, honest and upright, and has never done anything that violates Dayong's laws and regulations! The reason why I stood up to speak out for Duke Qi is that I understand his character. , Knowing that he is a good person who is willing to do good, it is absolutely impossible to do the things you said, my lord!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to marry my daughter into his family and become a family with him! "Sun Ronghai said righteously, but his eyes shrank involuntarily when Situ Meng looked over.

"Huh! Really? I hope you can still be so righteous after hearing these confessions and evidence!" Situ Meng said calmly, then bent down, and took out another confession from the box, He followed an account book, and then hooked his fingers towards the young official, and when he came close, he handed over all the things in his hand, and ordered:

"You read it aloud! Otherwise, our prince and grand master are still stubborn and lucky! I really think that what he has done is perfect, and no one can know! But I don't know, if people don't know unless Don’t do it yourself, as long as you say you have done it, you will definitely leave traces! What’s more, it is a matter of cooperation between several companies, who would not keep a hand just in case!”

As Situ Meng said, he glanced at the faces of several ministers meaningfully, seeing that they were dripping with cold sweat and extremely nervous, fearing that they would be called by Situ Meng in the next moment. Keeping his head down, he didn't dare to look at Situ Meng at all.

"On July 10th, with Master Sun's help, a merchant's son was exempted from the murder charge. During this period, Master Sun was given a total of [-] taels of silver as a facilitation fee, three concubines, and a copybook of Wang Xizhi, antiques. some jewelry...

On August 5th, Master Sun was asked to help the prefect of Shaanxi to pass the official department to improve his assessment results. During this period, he gave Master Sun a total of [-] taels of silver, various antiques and rare treasures, and two precious spices passed down through the Silk Road. Box, two Persian beauties..."

The young official was articulate and loud, and he read out everything written in the confession word for word, which surprised everyone.

You know, this Sun Ronghai usually pretends to be extremely clean and honest, and will make sarcastic remarks whenever he sees officials wearing expensive jewelry.
