Chapter 110 Unstable
【Very good! Mr. Dong is a scapegoat... Bah! ! Taking the blame is not a good thing, so why should I be happy? 】
Chu Liuzheng sighed several times in his heart before continuing to look down.
[Well... the person who actually accepted Li Youcai's bribe was a master he hired named Han Cunzhong. In the name of Mr. Dong, this master received the filial piety of many people. He even bought several large houses and took in three concubines. He has been following Lord Dong since he was a small county magistrate, and he has won Lord Dong's trust. In addition, the things he helped cover up were not big, so Lord Dong never found out. 】
[Tsk, tsk, when it comes to cheating, it has to be one of our own. It's a good thing that nothing happens to Mr. Dong, but if something happens, all the shit pots Han Cunzhong has accumulated will have to be pinned on his head. 】
Chu Liuzheng continued to pull down.
[This is a long list. Han Cunzhong has done a lot of things to deceive his superiors and hide his lies from his subordinates. Just this... wait a moment! This is...fuck! ! 】
The sudden increase in the heartbeat made Xiao Jingfan's head buzz, and he almost swept down the tea cup by mistake.
He glanced at where Chu Liuzheng was standing. What on earth did he see that made him howl like this? Does Suona become a spirit?
Chu Liuzheng was busy watching the follow-up, and his inner voice disappeared immediately.
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
You go on and say it! !
Dong Yi, who had no idea that his majesty was too busy eating and was not thinking about business at all, found two records in the book based on the approximate dates mentioned by Li Youcai.
The autopsy result of Wu Zuo was indeed that he drowned after falling into a well.
He glanced at the checker's name and found that it was the master who had followed him the longest, Han Cunzhong.
There are three masters in his name, and Shuntian Mansion also has a chief clerk and a first-class chief. Is it a coincidence that they all happened to be checked by the same person?
His brows furrowed slightly, and the intuition he had gained from serving as an official for many years suddenly gave him some bad premonitions.
Li Youcai had been standing nearby. Seeing Dong Yi staring at the booklet with a solemn expression, he felt more and more uncertain. He couldn't help but call in a low voice: "Master Dong, you..."
Dong Yi didn't give him a chance to finish what he said. He held the booklet in both hands and handed it forward, saying loudly: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Eunuch Zhou came forward, took the two opened booklets and presented them to Xiao Jingfan.
Xiao Jingfan had already learned the truth from Chu Liuzheng's voice, and was not surprised to see the name on the booklet.
He asked Dong Yi: "Who is Han Cunzhong?"
Dong Yi replied: "Your Majesty, this man is the master hired by me. He followed me when I was the magistrate of Baiyuan County. This man is familiar with the laws of Dasheng and has been of great help to me."
< br>
The master is also the staff. Even officials with imperial examination background are not all-rounders, especially those who want to work as local officials to do practical things. In order to get started with local affairs as quickly as possible, they will often hire the master to assist. Over time, it became a common rule.
Some officials from well-off families will spend money to hire a few more masters, assigning all matters to the masters to handle, and they themselves will be the masters.
Xiao Jingfan asked the Jin Yiwei who had just gone to get something, "Can this person enter the palace together?"
The guard in Jinyi cupped his hands and said, "As your majesty says, you are not allowed to enter the palace unless summoned. This person is waiting at the gate of the palace."
Xiao Jingfan nodded, "Xuan."
Orders were issued one by one, and it didn't take long for Han Cunzhong to let Xiao Anzi lead him to the second floor of Jinxiu Pavilion.
While Han Cunzhong was paying his respects, Xiao Anzi walked up to his master and whispered a few words.
Zhou Yuande winked at him and told him to step back. He took two steps forward and whispered what Xiao Anzi said to Xiao Jingfan.
Xiao Jingfan glanced at Li Youcai, whose expression was no longer as calm as before, and ordered Zhou Yuande: "Bring everyone here." "Wei." Zhou Yuande followed the order and left.
Everyone is confused. Who else is there besides this master?
Han Cunzhong thought of the people he saw at the palace gate, his mind was racing, but his face was respectful.
Xiao Jingfan ordered people to show the two brochures to Han Cunzhong and asked: "Are you responsible for the two cases of Li's family committing suicide by throwing themselves into a well?"
Han Cunzhong glanced at the contents of the record. He naturally recognized his own handwriting and nodded: "Your Majesty, you are a villain."
Xiao Jingfan raised his eyes and looked at him: "Did these two women really commit suicide by throwing themselves into a well?"
Hearing this, Han Cun's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously wanted to look up and observe Xiao Jingfan's expression. Then he thought that the person asking the question was the emperor, and people of low status should not look directly at the face of heaven.
He restrained himself without raising his head, and quickly weighed it in his mind before saying, "As I told you, the record in the book is not true. The bodies of these two women are covered with whip marks. They should have been whipped to death, and they did not commit suicide by throwing themselves into a well."
Hearing these words, Li Youcai on the side was shocked and looked at Han Cunzhong with a horrified expression, "You..."
As soon as he shouted a word, two eunuchs stepped forward quickly, covered his mouth, and forced him to kneel on the ground.
How can we roar and make noise at will in front of His Majesty? His Majesty just wanted to let it go, but now he can't.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Li Youcai struggled subconsciously, and then thought that he was in front of the emperor. He was so frightened that he did not dare to struggle anymore. He only trembled slightly and looked pitiful.
However, at this time, except for Zhao Yue and Yu Zhui, who hated him to the core, no one else paid attention to him.
Everyone is watching Han Cunzhong, how come he admits it just by asking? Just looking at this person's expression, it doesn't look like he was scared out of his wits by Jun Wei.
Xiao Jingfan was also a little surprised that Han Cunzhong would admit so straightforwardly. According to the woman's opinion, this man was a habitual criminal and shouldn't be so timid and unstable.
He said coldly: "Since you know the real cause of death of these two people, why did you falsify the records?"
Han Cunzhong knelt down and looked remorseful: "In a moment of greed, the villain took three hundred taels of silver from the housekeeper of the Li Mansion and ordered the widow to rewrite the injuries and causes of death of the two girls, and then the villain recorded it in the book and closed the case hastily."< br>
Hearing this, Dong Yi sighed deeply.
He had already had some premonitions just now, but now that his premonitions were confirmed, he couldn't tell whether he was more surprised or disappointed.
"I'm short-sighted, sorry for your kindness." Han Cunzhong turned around on his knees and kowtowed to Dong Yi.
Dong Yi's brows were furrowed, and he turned sideways to avoid the courtesy. Instead, he raised the hem of his robe and knelt down towards the emperor, "I was not strict in my rule, which allowed my subordinates to take advantage of the loopholes, and only added two unjust cases. Please forgive me." .”
Xiao Jingfan felt much better after knowing from his heart that the person who had been involved in corruption and bribery was not Dong Yi. At least it proved that he had not made a mistake and that he was Mingjun.
There was still a use for him to keep Dong Yi, and after thinking for a moment he said: "I ordered him to be fined for two months. He will go to the merit examination department once and make a demerit. If the next time happens, I will abdicate the throne in favor of the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture."
Dong Yi looked up in shock.
That's it?
Isn't it equivalent to not being fined if I'm fined with two months' salary and then given a fault in the Merit Examination Department?
He wanted to raise his hand and dig his ears to see if he was hearing something.
According to His Majesty's violent temper, he should be scolded first, and then demoted or relegated, or else fined?
Why is there nothing?
When did Your Majesty change his gender?
Mr. Dong expressed his discomfort.
