Chapter 369
After Lu Ben returned to the cabinet, he started to pack up his things. Xu Jie and Yan Song went to see him, and you kept saying that you were old and confused.
"I said to Master Lu, this matter is really not worth it!" Yan Song looked at Lu Ben and said in a faint way.
"What's the point? It's a last resort. I've done it, but I haven't done it well. The result is that way. OK, you guys should watch this case,
I have long understood that the emperor will not let go of this case easily. After all, after arresting so many people, one of them is the prince. If no result comes out, how can the emperor let go easily? You must understand this, but don’t imitate me and do something stupid!" Lu Ben sat there and said with a forced smile to the two of them.
"Okay, let's not disturb you. Let's sit down tonight?" Xu Jie asked as he looked at the two of them.
"I won't sit, let's go in a few days, and a few days!" Lu Benben waved his hand and said. Yan Song and Xu Jie glanced at him, nodded, and the two bowed to Lu Ben, and then left the cabinet.
After the two of them left the cabinet, they sighed and then went to the Ministry of Justice.
At this moment, Zhang Hao also went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
"Sir, we interrogated those merchants last night. They had already admitted their crimes, and they also recognized their previous confessions and signed them again!" Ying Dayou saw Zhang Hao coming and immediately reported to Zhang Hao.
"Where are the King of Jin and those royal families?" Zhang Hao looked at them and continued to ask.
"Sir, it's not yet. They didn't speak since yesterday, and they didn't speak, and they didn't speak anything. We couldn't use torture instruments, so we could only wait. I guess they knew that if they didn't speak, we had no choice but to do anything to them!" Ying Dayou immediately shook his head and said. Zhang Hao nodded.
"Otherwise, sir, let's continue to interrogate King Jin now. Are you watching here?" Ying Dayou looked at Zhang Hao and asked,
Zhang Hao nodded, and soon, the King of Jin was brought over. Zhang Hao, Ying Dayou, Zhou Yan, and Dali Temple Queen sat down below, watching the trial of the presiding officer of the Ministry of Justice. At the beginning, he still verified his identity, and the King of Jin could still speak.
But after saying that, the presiding judge asked King Jin, but he knew that Shanxi salt merchants hoarded salt, King Jin stopped talking.
"Don't think that if we don't say it, we can't do it. Now the salt merchants say that it was your instructions and your order. When you get here, can't you make a judgment?" The presiding judge saw that the King of Jin was not speaking yet, and immediately said sternly.
"Hmph!" Zhu Xinqing glanced at the judge, then stared at Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao stood up and came to the front of King Jin.
"Don't agree? I think I can't do it?" Zhang Hao asked as he looked at Zhu Xinqing.
"I dare not say that. You are the commander of the Jinyiwei. If you want to deal with me, what can I do? It's just that I am wronged. I believe that justice is in the hearts of the people!" Zhu Xinqing twisted his neck and said dissatisfiedly.
"Justice is in the hearts of the people? Haha, do you still have justice? What you do, can be related to justice?" Zhang Hao said with a smile as he looked at Zhu Xinqing.
"Hmph, I'm not good at quarrels, or you'll kill me now, or you'll let me go!" King Jin stood there and said to Zhang Hao.
"Is that so? You want to die, are you sure, don't regret it?" Zhang Hao asked King Jin, but King Jin still didn't say anything.
"Is it right? If so, then it will be easy!" Zhang Hao looked at Zhu Xinyan and asked. Zhu Xinyan didn't understand what Zhang Hao meant. What was the purpose of Zhang Hao talking about this.
"To be honest, we are men, you are still princes. Do you think I can't do anything about you? Do you think that as long as you don't say it, then we can't do anything to you?" Zhang Hao looked at King Jin and asked.
"Hmph!" King Jin still snorted coldly and did not argue with Zhang Hao.
"Okay, then don't blame me for being rude. I can come up with 10 lists that will not be punished at the same time. I will let those from the royal family choose. If anyone says that, the family will be fine. With the evidence of merchants, and those from the royal family prove you, you say, can you still be alive? Those vassal kings see those confessions, will they dare to save you?" Zhang Hao stood there, looking at King Jin with a sneer and said.
"You!" King Jin stood up suddenly at this moment and stared at Zhang Hao fiercely.
"Originally, I was thinking that you confess your guilt and I keep you, and you can continue to become a nobleman. Although you are not a prince, there is still hope to get a general of Fengguo. Since you want to play like this, I will kill you, right? I will save a lot of trouble in this way!" Zhang Hao stood in the ear of King Jin and said in a low voice. King Jin looked at Zhang Hao with horror.
"I said, if I let you die, no one can save you! If I want you to live, the emperor will agree. You have to argue with me and want those vassal kings to come back to put pressure on the emperor. Do you think I will agree to this matter? I, Zhang Hao, have never handled unjust, false and wrong cases. Letting you live is due to your own family. If you are the royal family, you will die, and you will die! Humph!" Zhang Hao waved his hand and shouted, "Take it away!"
"No, no, no, I say, I say!" King Jin suddenly shouted in panic at this moment. He knew Zhang Hao's ability. Zhang Hao actually meant the emperor. If the emperor really wanted to deal with him, then he really had no choice.
Even if he escaped this time, he would die next time. Besides, he would offend Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao is the commander of the Jinyiwei. He has a lot of information in his hands. No one knows how many people in the Jinyiwei lurk everywhere. There are 50,000 people in the Jinyiwei, but in fact, you are more than 100,000 people, and some people are not on the open.
"If you want to say it, just say it well. I said that for the sake of my father and you, I will not let you die if I can't die. If you want to die, then I will fulfill your wishes. Don't use those vassal kings to suppress me. Am I afraid of them? Kill me? Look at how many vassal kings can be pulled down before I die!" Zhang Hao stared at the King of Jin and said,
King Jin bowed his head and nodded. Zhang Hao walked to the side with his hands behind his back and sat down.
When the presiding judge saw that King Jin was not taken away, he slapped Xingmu and asked, "Zhu Xinfeng, are you willing to confess your guilt?"
Zhu Xinyu nodded, and then the presiding judge began to ask questions one by one, and asked Zhu Xinyu to admit what he had found before, and then signed and stamped.
Zhou Yan, Ying Dayou and Dali Temple Minister were both surprised to look at Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao said that if he wanted to do King Jin, he would do King Jin. This shows Zhang Hao's ability.
After interrogating for a while, Xu Jie and Yan Song came over, Zhang Hao and the others did not go out to greet him, and they did not dare to let them come out to greet him. Now, when they were under trial, they came inside and sat down directly. When they saw Zhu Xinyan admit everything, they were very surprised. They didn't know what happened.
Soon, Zhu Xinqian finished the review here, and all the people were relieved. Zhu Xinqian had explained everything, so it would be easier for others to do.
"Take it down!" The presiding officer looked at Zhang Hao and then spoke. Several yamen runners went to escort Zhu Xinyan. Zhu Xinyan was looking at Zhang Hao at this moment. He hoped that Zhang Hao could say something. Zhang Hao stood up and came to Zhu Xinyan.
"Don't worry, your family's wealth is gone, but you and your family are safe. I will try my best to keep it. The title of King Jin is gone. However, I will also tell the emperor about other titles. As for whether the emperor listens or not, I dare not make a guarantee now. However, I believe that those vassal kings will mention it at that time, and the emperor will consider it!" Zhang Hao said to Zhu Xinqing.
"Thank you, thank you!" Zhu Xinqing felt that he was much older and lost his energy.
"Hey, you asked you to accept the punishment, but you didn't accept it. I had to stubbornly. I reminded you!" Zhang Hao said with a sigh.
"Yes, I failed the commander's intentions at the beginning. Please help me!" Zhu Xinqiu bowed to Zhang Hao and said,
Zhang Hao nodded, and soon Zhu Xinyan was taken down, and then the prince was the prince. When he learned that Zhu Xinyan had said everything, it would be meaningless to continue to bear it. The next trial went very smoothly.
Zhang Hao looked at it for a while and then went out. There was no problem with this case.
As soon as Zhang Hao came out, all of them came out.
"Mr. Lu An, it's up to you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to go so smoothly!" Zhou Yan bowed to Zhang Hao and said.
"Well, the emperor is very concerned about this case, but you also write a few things about Zhu Xinyu's contributions, including proactively admitting his mistakes, so that the emperor also has room for operation, right?" Zhang Hao nodded and said to them.
"I understand. Don't worry, sir!" Ying Dayou also bowed to Zhang Hao and said.
"Okay, I'm going back too, I have a lot of things to do!" Zhang Hao waved his hand and said.
"Hao'er, you went to my house for lunch, your mother-in-law gave it to you specifically!" Xu Jie reacted quickly and said to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao knew what was going on. Yan Song was also very clear.
"Okay!" Zhang Hao nodded, and Yan Song was very anxious. He also wanted to know what the emperor meant. After Lu Ben left the cabinet this time, who would be the chief minister? Is it him or Xu Jie? Logically speaking, Xu Jie is more likely. If it is Xu Jie, then he will not worry, just worry, not Xu Jie.
If it weren't for Xu Jie, he would hang himself up, that means Jiajing would still have to make trouble. He was still the target of the arrow, but he was stared at by the ministers. Maybe he was not as lucky as Lu Ben. He was able to retire and return home, and he would be able to retire and return home. That would be a good luck.
