One after another, there are traces and evidence to check for each crime, but it is 24 years too late for the truth to come to light.

The nine presiding officials who participated in the joint trial of the three departments that year, including Jiang Tianqian, were all dismissed and investigated for the crimes of framing Zhongliang, corruption and dereliction of duty, and were escorted to Beijing for further investigation.

The food security officer named Hou Xiyuan has also been arrested and brought to justice.At that time, this person was the centurion of the infantry yamen, and he was an errand under Mr. Xu Qian. His nickname was Gibbon.Soon after the Cen Zhi case broke out, he left the capital with his family and his family.Later, in order to avoid being exterminated by Tu Yuanshan, he chose to feign death and fled to the mountainous area in the upper reaches of the Ruijiang River.Coincidentally, when the shopkeeper of Fufeng Rice Grain was transporting grain to the west, he met this person by chance. He felt that this person acted suspiciously, so he reported it to the government.The local government immediately arrested him and escorted him to Beijing.After interrogation, this person confessed to framing Cen Zhi back then.

In addition, there were more than [-] Honglu County disaster victims who came to Beijing to testify for Cen Zhi. They held all kinds of household registration certificates issued by the local government, and some even brought their children. In Tongchuan's roll call, one? One? Answers.This was the first time that an important official of the imperial court sang the names of the people. After singing the names on the cloak, no one was absent, and no one was missed.Gao Tongchuan said in embarrassment: "If all the officials and officials of the imperial court are so united, how can the world not be governed?"

As the investigation deepened, more and more evidence proved that Cen Zhi had no selfish intentions in the process of releasing grain, and even the sentence "They don't trust the government, they should trust me, Cen Zhi!" After the false news that "the local government abuses the people and the people are about to rebel", it was said at a critical moment to appease the victims.It was confirmed by General Xu Jiyu, who was delivering grain on another road, that Cen Zhi had been granted temporary decision-making power at that time. Even if the wording was slightly inappropriate, it was reasonable to say this in light of the crisis at the time.

Later, it was found out that half of the scribes who were recording by the side had been bribed or threatened by the Tu family to delete the confessions of Cen Zhi and the assistant officer.And some of the adjutants who made oral confessions even admitted that they had been induced by the chief interrogator. For example, some adjutants remembered that the word "imperial decree" vaguely appeared in the original words he heard from Cen Zhi, so they reported the truth, but it was their turn. When he drew the bet, the two characters disappeared again.At that time, in order to get rid of the crime as soon as possible, many of them chose to be charged in a daze.However, Cen Zhi's sentence has been deliberately deleted, which has already violated the original intention.

Fortunately, a conscientious scribe secretly kept Cen Zhi's complete confession in his cuff at that time. After comparison, two words were indeed deleted from the original statement.And they are two crucial words that can determine life and death.

Cen Zhi's original words were: "They don't trust the government, so they should trust me, Cen Zhi! Tell the people that Cen Zhi has come to release grain 'by order'."

Therefore, what Zuoguan heard was not "sacred decree", but the word "following the decree".

With or without these two words, the meaning is very different.Tu Yuanshan used this to make a big fuss, and hit the bottom of the court like Wu Dazhong. They can't do anything else.Back then, Cen Zhi was slowly driven to a dead end by the step-by-step design of this group of @贴雄小小.

After the truth came out, the voices of the government and the public complaining about Cen Zhi quickly flooded Gongming Pavilion like snowflakes.

Out of the anger of the common people, an edict is issued today to hold all those involved in the case accountable for their crimes, regardless of their official positions, they will be dealt with strictly.

The Ministry of Punishment, headed by Qiu Jianben, quickly made a sentencing for this case.

In view of the fact that the three clans of the mastermind Tu Yuanshan have been punished for the crime of treason, and their bones have disappeared, only the living are held accountable.

Cai, the steward of the Zhennan Hou Mansion who participated in the frame-up of Cen Zhi, committed suicide for fear of crime, and was sentenced to open the coffin and kill the corpse.

The nine presiding officials who participated in the joint trial of the three divisions, because of fabricating facts and adding or subtracting the facts of the case, caused Cen Zhi to die unjustly.

Among them, the presiding judges Liang, Lu, and Wang were punished for several crimes because they colluded with northern Xinjiang and perverted the law.

However, Jiang Tianqian was first-class, because he surrendered himself in time, voluntarily explained the circumstances of the case, was reduced to one degree in accordance with the law, changed his staff to eighty, and will be dispatched to Lingnan from now on.

Most of the clerks who accepted bribes were exonerated by providing evidence, and most of the others were sentenced to hanging for "crime of perverting the law and dirty work".

The assistant officer who gave false testimony back then was charged with "crime of not expressing love" and sentenced to exile.Later, it was verified that most of the confessions provided by the assistant officials had been tampered with, and Dali Temple rejected the original judgment according to the law and did not pursue the case.

However, Hou Xiyuan, the head of the adjutant officer, was convicted of "fraudulent accusation and framing" according to law and sentenced to hang.In addition, because of accepting bribes from northern Xinjiang, perverting the law to sit in the dirt, and escaping and hiding, he was punished for several crimes and sentenced to be cut in half, and the Yi tribe.

The remaining persons involved in the case were also convicted one by one.

But this penalty was questioned by the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.The problem mainly lies with Cai, the housekeeper of Zhennan Hou Mansion.It is reported that the housekeeper of the Nanhou Mansion in Beijing Township was beaten to death by the eldest princess not long ago. This Cai is a new housekeeper. He was just an unknown official in the Hou Mansion 24 years ago. How could he cooperate with Tu Yuanshan to murder Cen Zhi?Obviously this person is a scapegoat introduced by the Cheng family in order to get rid of the crime.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, headed by Zhao Chen, refused to accept the verdict and fought hard with reason. He knelt in front of the imperial study every day, begging His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the crimes of the Southwest Cheng family, so as to comfort the spirit of loyal ministers and righteous men in heaven.

But today, the Supreme Court ignored it, and made the verdict after the review of Dali Temple himself, and made it public to the world.

On the day of the verdict, the court was specially set up in front of Huafeng's gate, and all officials above the third rank from the six cabinet departments were present to hold the battle.

Every time a prisoner is sentenced to be hanged or cut in half, the people in front of the gate must cheer loudly.The ministers of the court have been wronged for as long as 24 years, and it is really gratifying to avenge their shame.Regardless of the deeds or the mind, Cen Pingyin has done everything to be worthy of the heaven and earth?

Today, the special government issued an order to restore all the official titles of Cen Zhi and his wife during their lifetime, and they were buried with rites.He also made Cen Zhi the king of Pingyin and gave him the posthumous title of Ruizheng.Temples were built in Zhunyueling and Luling counties, and they were named Pingyinwang Temple.

In stark contrast to those important court officials in red and purple, there were white-clothed prisoners marching in and out from the front of Huafeng Gate.At that time, they also used to be angry with horses in fresh clothes, and they were in court, but for their own selfish interests, they framed Zhongliang, and finally ended up ruined and decapitated.It's really clear, and the retribution is not good.

When Cen Zhu heard the familiar bell ringing in the prison, his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning. He stood up and staggered? He flung himself on the iron gate, and listened carefully through the window through the window.The majestic and mighty bell rang for forty times, coming from the distant Qixia Mountain, hitting her heart with a strong lingering sound.At this moment, her heart was full of sorrows and joys, and she even felt powerless. She leaned against the iron door with the back of her head weakly, and slowly slid down to sit down, covering her face and weeping into the cold and silent dark room.

I still remember that when she heard the abnormal bell for the first time, she and her mother were still kept in the dark, not knowing that it was her father's soul that was suppressed by the bell.

24 years, like a closed reincarnation.Locked up too many unbearable pasts.Finally return innocence? justice to them.

It's a pity that this day came too late, and many people were trapped inside, unable to hear the bell that broke the smog today.

When the creaking iron gate opened, Yun Zai was almost startled by the person who fell at her feet.He hurriedly put the food box on and put the clothes in his arms, helping her to get up slowly.

"Hua... Miss Zheng, are you okay?" Yun Zai's voice was full of concern, for fear that she would fall.

Cen Zhu's mind was still buzzing, but he didn't hear the door open at one o'clock, and fell on his back in front of his acquaintances, which really hurt his face.

She subconsciously wiped away the tears on her face, and said, "I'm fine, why are you here?"

Yun Zai felt sore when she heard the nasal sound in her words. She couldn't help but burst into tears because of this voice and this person after so many years.

"I'm here to give you clothes. It's so cold in the prison, hurry up and put them on!"

She unfolded the clothes on her arms, and Cen Zhuo saw that it was a cloak, which was very similar to the one she wore before. It was all black and white, and the workmanship was extremely fine.

"I still can't, I'm dirty, I'd better hold it."

Seeing her cherished look, Yun Zai thought she was short of food and clothing in the prison, so he choked up with sadness.

"I also brought you some snacks and vegetables that you usually like to eat. Miss Hua... Zheng," Yun Zai changed his words with difficulty, "Try it quickly."

"You? When did you change my surname? Miss Huazheng? It's Miss Cen Zheng." Cen Zhu laughed through his tears, and Yun Zai was also embarrassed? Laughed embarrassingly, followed her into the door, and first looked around. Looking at this cramped prison cell, the brick walls and floor are fairly clean. There is a wooden bed on the southwest corner, and the quilt is neatly stacked on it. The place? Place is not enough.She stretched out her hand and touched it, and it was really cold to the bone.There is a small window on the top of the south wall, the light transmission is not very good, but the ventilation is whizzing.As soon as Yun Zai went in, he felt a little cold, and couldn't help but burst into tears again.Where is this place where my daughter's family should live?But Cen Zhu seemed to be used to it, she carefully spread the cloak on the bed, rubbed the soft fur, felt the soft temperature, and her heart became extra soft.

Yun Zai placed the food box on the small wooden table in the middle of the cell.A gauze lantern was lit on the wooden table, as well as pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and a suona was hung in a conspicuous place.She asked curiously: "Hua...Miss Cen Zheng, are you practicing suona?"

Cen Zhu turned around: "You? You should call me Sister Hua Qing, it sounds pleasing to my ear."

Yun Zai immediately nodded his head, "Sister Hua Qing, I've wanted to call you that for a long time."

Yun Zai spread out the food and looked at the suona.

Cen Zhu explained: "Actually, I recently took in an apprentice and am teaching him how to play."

"apprentice?"

"Yes, it's right across from you."

As soon as the words fell, the person on the other side started yelling, accompanied by the sound of tinkling, "Big girl, I can smell the fragrance, big girl! Can you give me something to eat?"

Cen Zhu brought the bowl of salted duck to Yun Zai, "I can't get out of the prison, please? Bring it to him."

Feeling anxious, Yun Zai walked out of the prison door with the bowl in his hand, walked four or five steps to the opposite side, and saw a pair of black eyes the size of camel bells protruding from the small window of the iron door, like monsters, Scared to death.She put the bowl by the window, and was thinking about how to get through the fence, when half a hand stretched out from the fence, grabbing the duck in the evening, and retracted.Yun Zai yelled "Ah", and the bowl shattered, and the soup splashed all over him.In a hurry? He ran back to Cen Zhu's cell.

"Ah, right?...Who is the person behind you?"

Cen Zhu looked at her like a frightened little rabbit, clutching her chest and gasping for breath, said with a smile, "An old acquaintance, you? Don't be afraid. Although he is rude, he won't hurt people for no reason."

There was a sound of chewing and chewing from the opposite side, and there was a simple and rude comment on the taste of the duck, "It's so fucking delicious! I've never eaten such a delicious duck!"

Yun Zai's face was full of contempt, and he thought to himself that this person was wearing heavy shackles in the prison, so he must not be an ordinary prisoner.

"Sister Huaqing, you? Why did you teach him to play the suona? His... claws are so thick, can he learn it?"

"Actually, stupid people can also do clever things. Anyway, if you have nothing to do in prison, it's good to pass the time."

In fact, the real reason was that she was afraid that Zhang Ha wouldn't be able to survive the fall, so she was sent out and killed.She didn't know why she wanted to save such a heinous man with blood on his hands, maybe it was his undisguised protection of Gu Qing, maybe it was just his instinct to survive.

Yun Zai wrung his fingers and seemed very disturbed, "Sister Huaqing, in fact, Your Majesty? Has been? thinking about you all the time? Your Majesty asked me to send that cloak. But she didn't let me tell you?. Still Yes, you? The case of your father has come to an end. Your Majesty has issued an order to return the Cen house that was previously occupied by the Tu family to the Cen family. The extended courtyard of the Tu family was bulldozed and peach trees were replanted. When you come out, maybe you can see the newly blooming peach blossoms."

Cen Zhuo's vision had already blurred, "You? You shouldn't have told me so early, so there will be no surprises."

Yun Zai explained: "I'm afraid of you. I'm worried. Your Majesty will go south in a few days to raise food, and it may take a long time to come back. She makes you feel at ease. Just take a bite and insist that no one is involved in the rebellion. Dare to move you?"

When Cen Zhu heard that she was going south to raise food, he was very nervous, "Is there another flood?"

"No."

Cen Zhu slowly relaxed his nerves, staring at Yun Zai pleadingly, "I...I want to see her. Can I?"

When he left the cell, the warden hurriedly greeted him, but it was an old face that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Yun Zai squinted at him, "Liao Shishen, Your Majesty? May I ask you? How many years have you been the warden?"

The latter hurriedly knelt down and said, "Return to Your Majesty, this is the fifth year."

Yun Zai: "Your Majesty? Tell me, you have done a good job in the past five years! The investigation of Cen Zhi's classmate and the murder of a servant also contributed a lot. She has always remembered it. Your Majesty? Ask you? Promised you? What?"

Liao Shishen: "The guilty minister dare not forget until his death. Your Majesty? Said? The guilty minister has the talent of a minister. It is a pity to kill him. As long as the minister is willing to turn around, he will be allowed to be the minister in ten years! But the minister will never dare Coveted Zaifu, only to be able to serve His Majesty? Continue to serve in order to atone for previous crimes."

Yun Zai: "I remember well, Your Majesty? Tell me, I always have no doubts about employing people, and I don't use doubtful people. Miss you? This is a second chance given to you for a reason, so you should seize it. There are no two masters, you ? Do you understand?"

Liao Shishen: "The guilty minister understands that, and must serve His Majesty with all his heart and soul."

The author has something to say:

Chapters 333 and 336 have been changed. Wu Dazhong didn't have a jury in those years, but he did get into trouble.
