The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 393
[I consciously put my heart into this plot, those who posted it for five seconds... To be honest, Lao Ao, the firm harem party, was a little shaken, maybe the next book should minimize the plot of the harem, otherwise everything else is troublesome The laborious carving seems to have become useless waste. 】

In the trial statements of the three, Chen Wansan and Li Qing were basically the same, except that there was a slight discrepancy in describing Li Qing's attitude after sobering up - Li Qing insisted that he was not cowardly.

As for the promotion of Zhu Tao by the steel factory...

At the beginning, he hysterically demanded that Chen and Li be severely punished, accusing himself of being kidnapped halfway by these two gangsters, and no one else knew about it.

Later, when Chen and Li said everything that should be said and what should not be said, he changed his face in front of the court and insisted that he was going to expose the matter. Firstly, he was not ashamed of Zhou Long's use of all means to fight against differences for the same party. Secondly, I am grateful to the emperor for devoting all his energy and wisdom to food and clothing, and finally created a prosperous scene of all industries, how can he bear to let it be destroyed by a small group of people with ulterior motives?
That's why he made up his mind to kill his relatives righteously!

Originally thought that seeing Master Jiao this time, he would complain about his interests and urge him to report the matter to the imperial court, but who would have thought that Chen and Li were villains in vain and tied him to Dali Temple without any explanation.

As for why he refused to explain the truth in the first place...

Naturally, it was because he was tied up in a daze, and he was worried that there was some conspiracy in it, so he chose to stay unchanged for the time being.

tsk~
This guy really deserves to be born in a serious imperial examination. Although he only has the fame of a scholar, he has learned a lot about turning black and white.

Through the description of seven points of truth and three points of falsehood, Leng raised himself to the position of wisdom, wisdom and righteousness again, and incidentally discredited Chen Wansan and Li Qing for treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and reporting the case to Dali Temple was just superfluous.

The key is that although anyone can see some clues to the three-point fake, it is absolutely impossible to verify the authenticity.

After sighing for a while, Jiao Shun began to read it from the beginning for the second time.

In the first pass, he mainly focused on the beginning and end of the matter, but in the second pass, he mainly focused on the details between the transitions of the conversation.

Just now he vaguely noticed that although in the transcript, the questions raised by Tang Sizheng were all balanced and did not appear to be tendentious, but many times Chen Wansan and Li Qing's answers clearly showed resistance and indignation.

During the period, Chen Wansan even lost his composure several times. The fault was that Li Qing stopped him in time, and he was afraid that he would be judged as a roaring court.

And after this second careful inspection, he confirmed this idea again.

This Tang Temple definitely showed a tendency during the trial!
After all, the transcript is not a video, it only records the content of the question and answer of the two parties, but the expressions, actions, tone, etc. outside of this will not be clearly marked, so the veterans of the trial often use these details without any trace. Induce the answer you want.

If it wasn't for Li Qing's constant restraint and sobriety, and Zhu Tao retracted his confession in court, it may not be known what the final conclusion of this trial will be.

Jiao Shun put the three statements on the tea table, raised his eyes and asked, "Can I meet them?"

"I'm afraid it's against the rules."

Fang experienced an apologetic smile and said, "Now the three of them are being supervised separately, and they can't even meet each other, let alone you? The fault is not related to the Ministry of Industry, but to your boss Jiao. I'm afraid that even this confession cannot be disclosed to the outside world. "

"In that case..."

Jiao Shun didn't bother, he immediately stood up and said, "Then please ask Dali Temple to detain the case first, and then wait for the Ministry of Industry to propose to the imperial court that the three law departments will discuss the case together."

"This……"

The face of that party who had been smirking all the time finally showed a look of astonishment, and immediately he questioned: "It's just that the chief of the Ministry of Rituals acted recklessly, why is there a joint trial by the three judicial departments? Besides, the chief of Jiao is afraid that he can't be the master, right?"

After a pause, he added: "Could it be that it's because of Chen and Li's false accusation of Da Zongbo's [Respected Title in the Ministry of Rites]? Even the plaintiff, Zhu Tao, insisted that there was absolutely no such thing. Could it be that my lord is just because of the two villagers' words?" If you speak ignorantly and lie, you must suspect that you will not be a high-ranking official?!"

When it comes to the last sentence, the question has become a question.

Moreover, in his words, he directly defined Chen Li as a villager, and only regarded Zhu Tao as the only plaintiff, which shows his contempt for the working class.

Jiao Shun said in a evasive way: "Whether I can make the decision, there is no need to worry about the experience. If the case cannot be submitted to the Tribunal in the end, and the interrogation time is delayed, Jiao is willing to take full responsibility!"

Said, Sa Ran cupped his hands and walked away.

"Master Jiao, Master Jiao, Jiao..."

The other party went through a few steps, seeing that he couldn't stop him, he could only stamp his feet and feel distressed.

The officials of Dali Temple were all civil servants who had received official civil service examinations, so their stance in this case is self-evident—their current idea is to delay the case first, to see if there is a big shot in the court, or to find an opportunity to overturn the case.

Even if there are neither of these, then we should always find a way to hurt both sides, and we must not damage the character of the literati in vain and encourage the arrogance of those scabs!

Therefore, in order to respond to the inevitable inquiries from the Ministry of Industry, Dali Temple has prepared a set of countermeasures early on, which is enough for the people of the Ministry of Industry to find no faults, and can delay it reasonably and legally.

But who would have thought that Jiao Shun would ask for a joint trial by the three courts when he disagreed with each other?
Now the matter can be regarded as a complete mess. Although the Ministry of Punishment and the Inspectorate are also governed by imperial civil servants, I am afraid that the news will spread to the palace and attract the emperor's restraint and side gangs——His Majesty's respect for the Ministry of Rites today Dissatisfied, but even the two villagers have heard about it.

And this is exactly the purpose of Jiao Shun.

In addition, he also wanted to take advantage of the trouble to make things bigger and try to keep himself out of the focus of the storm.

Speechless all the way.

Jiao Shun hurried to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, reported the whole story to Chen Shangshu and the two servants, and took advantage of the opportunity to propose the idea of ​​asking the Ministry of Justice to have a joint trial.

Chen Shangshu hesitated when he heard this: "If it's just an idle chief of the Ministry of Rites doing it, it seems..."

"otherwise!"

Su Youlin, the servant on the right, interrupted the boss's words unceremoniously, and said in a deep voice: "In the past, when the Gongxi incident happened, the Ministry did nothing, and let the government and the people speak ill and slander, it was already a big injustice. Won't it chill the hearts of millions of craftsmen in the world?"

Chen Shangshu stroked his beard and nodded, but secretly scolded Su Yuting for not hurting his back while standing and talking.

Could it be that the imperial court set up the Ministry of Industry in order to let the workers be the masters of their own affairs?It is clearly for better management and exploitation of them!

You, Su Yuting, are earning fame under the guise of being the master of the people, but when you offend the Ministry of Rites and even the San Judicial Department, in the end, you are not the one who is responsible for being the minister?

No matter how much Chen Shangshu slandered in his heart, he couldn't refute it face to face.

Firstly, it is politically correct to be the master for the people, no matter how much you despise it in your heart, you can’t expressly oppose it; secondly, the emperor has always been dissatisfied with him as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and it was because of the recent implementation of Jiao Shun’s New Deal that he took the opportunity to stabilize his ass chairs below.

If he resolutely refuses to stand up for Jiao Shun and Gongxue, once the news reaches the emperor's ears, I am afraid that the "sufferer" who is the defendant will be dismissed from office before he has done anything.

At that time, the person who is most likely to succeed him is undoubtedly Su Youlin, the right servant!
Because of this, Chen Shangshu could only smack his beard and nod while secretly thinking about how to deal with it.

"grown ups."

At this time, Jiao Shun cupped his hands and said, "Of course I know that Uncle Da Zong will never be involved in this matter, but most of the workers below make wild speculations, if we don't investigate the matter with great fanfare, I'm afraid it will damage Uncle Da Zong's reputation instead. "

"Hence, the purpose of proposing the joint trial of the three judicial divisions is not only to seek justice for our Ministry of Industry, but also to prevent the Ministry of Rites from taking unnecessary stigma for this, which in turn will cause confrontation between scholars and workers."

Chen Shangshu stroked his beard again and nodded, but secretly scolded Jiao Shun for being a slave, how could he be so familiar with these twists and turns of the officialdom?

If he blindly puts forward the request from the Ministry of Industry's point of view, as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he can still veto it, but Jiao Shun pretends that he is considering it for the Ministry of Rites. Even deliberately provoke the confrontation between scholars and workers?
"What Chang Qing said is very true."

At this time Su Shilang also got up and cupped his hands and said: "If Master Shangshu still has concerns, then Su Mou will play it in the book."

Chen Shangshu was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect that Su Youlin would go over him and take the initiative to play, but in this way, he could take less responsibility.

He was about to agree tactfully and decently. He didn't want to be a peacemaker, Jiang Chengfang, the left servant who liked to sit on the fence in everything, also stood up and said with emotion: "Jiang is willing to play a joint name with Brother Yuting."

This……

Chen Shangshu unconsciously exerted force on his hands, and pulled off two precious beards. After all, he was also old in the officialdom, so he suddenly realized that he was not trying to take responsibility beyond himself. !
Just imagine, what would the emperor and cabinet ministers think of him as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, if the two ministers submitted the memorial that they had signed jointly?

Without responsibility, it is difficult to convince the public!

At that moment, Chen Shangshu rose up against the case and said with great emotion: "Okay, good, good! The Ministry of Industry is united as one, so why worry about the failure of all businesses? In the name of the Ministry of Industry, I will submit this case to the Three Law Departments for a joint trial!"

It is said that there are three women in one play, but when these four officials get together, there will be more and more intrigue.

Seeing Chen Shangshu finalize the case, Jiao Shun felt relieved, took the opportunity to plead guilty and retreated.

Coming out of the courtyard where Shangshu was on duty, he was thinking that after this incident got bigger, the Ministry of Rites could not target himself and engineering for the time being, so he could consider using the momentum of the imperial merchants to really start the road to expand enrollment?
Ok……

Forget it, it's so easy for things to turn around, why bother poking this hornet's nest?
In the final analysis, he is just a common man who is greedy for power and sex. He implemented the New Deal just as a way to climb up, and he didn't really want to lead the workers to stand up and call the shots.

"master!"

At this moment, there was a sudden wailing from the lower part, which startled Jiao Shun, who was out of his mind. When he looked up, it was Jia Yun who came out from behind the Moon Gate, sweating profusely, and said gesticulating: " Go back and have a look, Aunt Xing is about to give birth!"

"Um?!"

Jiao Shun was stunned: "Isn't it fine in the morning, and you are going to give birth so suddenly?"

"I saw that Master, you couldn't leave for a while, so I hurried home and reported the letter. Who knew that my aunt was so happy after hearing this, that her amniotic fluid broke..."

When Jiao Shun heard this, he didn't care about other things. He wasn't around when the first two sons were born. It was so easy to justify it once. How can we regret to miss it?
Immediately rush home.

On the way, he didn't think about it, so he thought about one thing over and over again: how can he express the joy of being a father for the first time?
But after thinking about it for a long time, there was no way, so I could only choose to adapt to the situation.

When we got home, the courtyard was full of people, such as Ping'er, Yuanyang, Caixia, Xiuju, Ying'er, etc. The big maids who represented the master came, and Lin Daiyu even accompanied Xu's family in person. Stayed in the living room.

Although Shi Xiangyun was embarrassed to show up, he asked Lin Daiyu to bring the amulet of Guanyin, which had been prepared a long time ago.

Even Jia Baoyu was chaotic outside.

Jiao Shun greeted everyone indiscriminately, and hurried into the living room of the East Wing. Hearing the unstoppable cries of pain in the South Room, he subconsciously joined Lin Daiyu and Xu's prayer team.

After reading a few words, I realized something was wrong, and hurriedly raised my voice and shouted to the room: "Xiuyan, I'm already back, you just need to rest assured!"

By chance, he stopped the chess players who were busy in and out, and ordered: "Tell Wen Po, if anything goes wrong, it's important to keep the big ones first!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu hesitated to speak, and finally just muttered: "I dare not let your adoptive father listen to these words."

Lin Daiyu was greatly moved, these days it is not uncommon to disregard the life of his wife for the sake of his heirs, let alone Xing Xiuyan is just a concubine?
If Jia Baoyu was replaced, let alone whether he had made the decision, even if he could think of this, he might not dare to say it in front of Mrs. Wang.

In fact, when Jiao Shun first made his fortune, the one who cared the least about him and looked down on him the most was Sister Lin, but now her perception has changed again and again, and she even envies Xing Xiuyan for meeting such a beloved person.

Xing Xiuyan was obviously also encouraged by these words, and within a quarter of an hour, the good news came from the delivery room, and the woman Wen, who was hired with a lot of money, brought out a small person and said as if offering a treasure: "Congratulations, master, Master He Xi, he is a daughter of a thousand gold."

Hearing that it was a girl, Mrs. Xu was obviously relieved, but outside the door came the sound of Jiao Da swearing at the street—this old man was hated by people in Ningguo Mansion back then, and it was definitely not without reason.

Jiao Shun carefully took his daughter over, stared at her and said, "Mother, help me to look outside first, I'll go in and have a look at Xiuyan."

With that said, he carried the baby into the delivery room.

Mrs. Xu was busy grabbing wedding candies and money and throwing them outside.

Seeing that the mother and son were both busy, Lin Daiyu was hesitating whether to continue to wait in the living room, or go back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion first, and then visit Xing Xiuyan when it is convenient. It was Wang Xifeng who arrived.

Sister Lin hurriedly walked out to greet her, and then she heard Feng Lazi's suggestion: "It's a coincidence, sister-in-law Zhen in Dongfu just gave birth to a son, and sister Xing here gave birth to a daughter, isn't this a match made in heaven? Or I might as well just be a middle-aged man and order a doll for them to kiss."

As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing herself.

Everyone didn't understand why she was smiling so joyously, there really was that flattering voice echoing her voice, and Wang Xifeng, who was making trouble, became more and more swayed.
