Chapter 373 Guilty
Like Master Xia, Wang Tingxiang came to Qin Dewei's place in a very low-key way, traveling in a light car from his clothes.

At the gate, Wang Tingxiang waved back to the left and right, and only walked in with Qin Dewei alone.

While walking, he lightly reprimanded Qin Dewei: "Looking at the good deeds you have done, I embarrass this old man!"

Qin Dewei was a little guilty at first, and he was even more disturbed when he heard this. Could it be that his little plot to expose the Cao Zu case happened?So Wang Tingxiang came to question?

But you Wang Da Sikou, don't be so excited!Conspiracy and treason are equivalent to conspiring against each other. If the emperor insists on convicting him like this, it is not just a matter of the Ministry of Punishment!

Either Jinyiwei Dongchang Prison interrogation, or a joint trial by the Three Jurisdictions plus Dongchang Jinyiwei observing, it is considered a collective act, and it is not you Wang Tingxiang who took the thunder.

Besides, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, from the cabinet to the ministry, are all trying to persuade the emperor. In this situation, your royal court will not be too abrupt in opposing the killing of Zhang Yanling.

"My lord, it's not impossible, you don't have any embarrassment." Qin Dewei explained.

Wang Tingxiang scolded unbearably: "Why not embarrassing? You actually took the certificate issued by the Ministry of Punishment issued by the old man and went to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion to show off!

It was also considered a prostitute!This was known by others, but they laughed at the old man face to face, making the old man feel ashamed! "

Qin Dewei quickly argued: "That's because there is a beautiful woman plotting against me, which makes me very uneasy.

As you know, old man, many people wanted to hit me, so I had to check it out! "

No matter who asked, Qin Dewei explained it in this way, as a cover for himself to be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Anyway, Sicong came here secretly, and he was not a celebrity, so not many people noticed.

As for fighting with Dongchang fanzi, Dongchang would not go around clamoring about why they were fighting.

Wang Tingxiang snorted coldly, and asked, "Are you really going to investigate the matter? Later, I heard that you were jealous of others and fought!

The old man issued you a certificate from the Ministry of Punishment. Is this how you use it to misbehave?
And I also heard that you took the driving letter from the Metropolitan Procuratorate that the old man gave you in the past to scare others! "

Qin Dewei asked suspiciously: "The news spread? Can't it? When I was in the west courtyard, I always reported Xu Miaojing's name in public. Who recognized me?"

"The girls in the courtyard know you, so of course they are happy to mention you!" Wang Tingxiang only felt that Qin Dewei had inexplicably lowered his wits today.

Qin Dewei seemed to be very concerned and asked: "Will there be a censor to impeach the old man?"

Wang Tingxiang said very dissatisfied: "Many people know about your relationship with this old man, and there must be someone who will implicate this old man!

The Metropolitan Procuratorate heard that there was a censor who was going to submit a memorial, and the old man acted arbitrarily and issued certificates indiscriminately, and the old man was trying to suppress it. "

"Don't!" Qin Dewei quickly said: "Let him impeach! It's been a troubled time recently, and the old man just took advantage of it to avoid it!"

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, once a minister of Zaifu's department was impeached, he had to resign symbolically, and then the emperor asked him to stay. This was a prescribed action.

This is great!Finally a chance to make up for the mistakes!Qin Dewei, who is eager to learn from his wits, is still continuing to make moves:

"Old man, after you are impeached, you can thank the guests and pretend to be at home!
In this way, the ups and downs of the Zhang Yanling case have nothing to do with the old man who is waiting for the crime at home. Maybe it is a good thing to be impeached at this time! "

Wang Tingxiang looked at Qin Dewei suspiciously, and remained silent for a while.

Qin Dewei was still guilty, and his scalp was numb: "What is the old man thinking?"

Wang Tingxiang said bluntly, "I don't understand one thing, you Qin Dewei most of the time, no matter who you are with, you are very reserved.

If someone asks for advice when they encounter something, they always have to ask and ask, and you will give me some pointers.

But the old man hasn't mentioned anything today, so why did you take the initiative to suggest and ask the old man to avoid the Zhang Yanling case? "

Qin Dewei: "."

Wang Tingxiang concluded: "All in all, you look exceptionally abnormal today!"

Qin Dewei shied away and said: "Don't worry about your motives, old man, just tell me if this method is feasible or not!"

Wang Tingxiang refused sternly and said: "It is possible, but I am the minister of the Ministry of punishment, others can escape, but I can't!
Wouldn't it be a laughing stock if Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice would stay behind closed doors when encountering a case? "

Then Qin Dewei didn't understand, if it wasn't for seeking a way to protect himself, then what on earth did you Wang Tingxiang do?

Wang Tingxiang sighed: "As Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, you can't just watch the perversion of the law and unjust imprisonment happen. What can you do to save Zhang Yanling from death?"

Qin Dewei said casually: "I don't know if the old man understands? Zhang Yanling will not die now. If you sentence him to death again, you will save his life instead."

This means that if the death penalty is not imposed, Emperor Jiajing will keep shouting for death, but if the death penalty is imposed, Emperor Jiajing may not shout.When the finals are held every year in autumn, just keep dragging off the names.

It's not that Wang Tingxiang didn't understand, but he still said: "The emperor is always unpredictable, killing or not killing is only a matter of thought, how can we completely dispel the killing intention?"

Qin Dewei sighed, these ministers still haven't figured out the experience routine of dealing with Emperor Jiajing.

In the past fifty or sixty years, the court ministers have experienced three generations of emperors: Chenghua, Hongzhi, and Zhengde.

Although these three generations of emperors have different personalities, they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are not thoughtful, and Emperor Jiajing is a genetic mutation.

The ministers have been used to the emperor who has no heart, but suddenly encountering Jiajing, old experience is not enough.

It was not until the middle and late period of the Jiajing Dynasty that the ministers gradually adapted to the style of Emperor Jiajing, and honed the routine of fooling the emperor.

But in the twelfth year of Jiajing, the ministers were still struggling.

That's why Wang Tingxiang was confused. As a minister of the Ministry of punishment, how should he discuss the Zhang Yanling case with Emperor Jiajing?
After understanding Wang Tingxiang's entanglements, Qin Dewei pointed out: "First of all, seniors, it's best not to write Mingfa memorials, but to write secrets.

If you don't have the authority to write secrets, you should ask for an audience, and you must have an audience alone, speaking in private, and don't have other ministers present! "

Wang Tingxiang was puzzled. What he wanted to ask was the content, not the form. "Are these forms important?"

Qin Dewei replied: "Very important! The emperor likes to communicate privately! Besides, what I'm going to say next is not suitable for public speaking!"

Wang Tingxiang became more interested: "Then what do you want the old man to say?"

Qin Dewei said almost disrespectfully: "Don't talk about the law with the emperor, it's useless! The emperor is not reasonable at all!

Just say that there are rumors in the capital that His Majesty wants to kill Zhang Yanling in order to plot the property of the Zhang family!

The common people also rumored that Da Nei was going to do a lot of construction work this year, including building two empress dowager palaces, and the Da Gaoxuan Hall, etc. The emperor's internal treasury was running out of money, so the Zhang family, the richest man in the capital, had to be used to make up for it! "

"Pfft!" Wang Tingxiang spat out a mouthful of tea.

 Ugh.If you make a mistake in front, you can only look back desperately, let's make do with it, and hurry up and finish it.
