Chapter 531 A thunderbolt from the blue sky shakes the capital!
Gongsun Zhao stood in Ren's house, waiting respectfully.

His work has always been two points and one line, and sometimes he even stays at that point. It is very simple, and he has almost no experience of visiting other officials' homes.

When I came to Ren Boyu's home, my first impression was very good.

Living in Bianjing is not easy, especially the housing problem. The high housing prices make many lower-level officials have to rent houses, but the important officials in the court can still have a decent residence.

However, Ren Boyu's house is not only narrow, but also crowded when there are many children, and simple, there are not many servants, let alone pretty maids, only a few gray-haired old servants busy in and out.

This kind of poor life, which is not as good as that of the common people, is in stark contrast with corrupt officials, which is awe-inspiring.

It's a pity that Ren Boyu still didn't see him from the afternoon until night fell, so he handed over Fan Chunli's letter, otherwise he would have been waiting outside.

It is now July, and the weather in Bianjing is already hot, and Gongsun Zhao's clothes are slightly wet.

With his martial arts, this is not the case, but when he thinks that Wuyou Cave is being recruited, he can't help feeling anxious.

The case record in his hand was almost soaked in sweat, so he wiped it carefully.

This case record was carefully sorted out before coming here. The testimony clues and speculation analysis are listed separately. It must be fair and rigorous, and not misleading. After reading it, Ren Boyu can quickly have a more accurate understanding of the case.

After suffering like this for a long time, finally there was movement in the room, and an old man with a pale appearance and wearing a hoodie came out.

Ren Boyu is fifty-three years old this year, but his hair is already gray, his face looks older, his back is slightly arched, but his eyes are as sharp as lightning, and he stabs straight at him with an unstoppable feeling.

Gongsun Zhao had something to ask for from the other party, and immediately bowed his eyebrows: "Meet Ren Zhengyan."

Seeing him waiting for a long time, his attitude was still respectful, Ren Boyu's face was slightly relieved, showing a trace of childish approval: "Judge Gongsun, please come in."

Gongsun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the old man to the study room where there was only the fragrance of bitterness and ink. After sitting down on his knees, he presented the case record with both hands: "Recently, an important case occurred in Beijing, with the dignitaries in the court, the powerful slaves and villains, Wuyou Cave is related, here is the case, please take a look at it!"

Ren Boyu took it, lowered his head to look around, and was not interested: "Fan Zhige's letter, the old man has already received it. What you say is swearing, but there is no evidence. How can you win people's trust?"

Gongsun Zhao hurriedly said: "Ren Zhengyan, please read the record of the case. The ins and outs of the case are all in it. Now there are various signs that Wuyoudong is colluding with the important ministers of the court. They must not be allowed to succeed!"

Ren Boyu frowned slightly, and put the record aside: "I don't believe this matter, if you have evidence, you might as well show it."

Gongsun Zhao took a deep breath, and explained again: "Worriless Cave has been endangering the capital for hundreds of years. It is fierce and cunning, and should not be underestimated. If you want to obtain evidence from them, you must first expose this matter, so that the thieves make mistakes in chaos! "

"The lower officials also know that this matter is absurd, and it is really difficult to win people's trust, but it is related to the blood and tears of many innocent people in Beijing, and there are real murders, shouldn't we take more precautions, rather believe it than nothing ?”

"I hope that Ren Zhengyan will read the case record first. There are many doubts in it, and there are corresponding analysis. The next official is willing to explain them one by one!"

What Gongsun Zhao said was somewhat pleading, and in Ren Boyu's ears, the young judge seemed to be here to give him advice, and the good impression he had had before disappeared, and he said sharply: "This kind of flirting and lying is just right. It was done by the Secretary of the Imperial City, and Fan Zhige actually believed what you said, for the crime of dereliction of duty, this old man must take a copy of it!"

Gongsun Zhao was stunned, his brows were full of anger, and he was about to refute immediately, but his lips trembled, but he didn't dare after all, his heart sank.

He didn't just look for someone randomly. He heard that this man was born as a Jinshi. He was the magistrate of Yongqiu County for the first time. His political achievements were praised by scholars. Then he uttered these inappropriate words again.

When Ren Boyu served in the local area, his main contribution was indeed to eliminate thieves. Yongqiu County was close to the Bian River, and there was an endless stream of ships transporting goods in the waterway, so there were many thieves. Solved, praised by Shilin.

This is what Gongsun Zhao understands, but what he doesn't understand is what kind of clever trick Ren Boyu used to solve the thieves under his rule.

In fact, Ren Boyu did not ask the county captain to suppress the bandits, but ordered the ships transporting goods not to stay overnight in Yongqiu. The cables forced them to leave, and the ships bound for the capital were escorted into the capital.

Under such treatment, the thieves disappeared in a short time, and there was no boat to steal. Who would come to this increasingly poor place?

The misplaced understanding caused Gongsun Zhao to misunderstand this person, and the method he adopted was to impress people with actual case records, and he naturally ended up in this end.

Thinking of the seriousness of the case, he still wanted to fight for it. Ren Boyu had already stood up: "Judge Gongsun, I won't send it away!"

Gongsun Zhao pursed his lips, stood up slowly, picked up the case file that he and the people in the government office had carefully sorted out, turned around and left without even being polite.

Seeing this, Ren Boyu's eyes became sharper: "People who come from the Imperial City Department really cannot hold important positions as judges in the Kaifeng government office. I will read another book tomorrow to clear up the chaos!"

When he was angry, his son Ren Shen, who was wearing a patch, entered the room first, and when he heard these words, he also took it seriously: "The Imperial City Secretary is rampant, framing slander, acting recklessly, and harming the people. I thought this Gongsun Zhao was slightly different. Thinking of making trouble like this, regardless of the safety of the government and the public!"

After a pause, Ren Shenxian reminded again: "Father is Zuo Zhengyan now, and he should purge the court and order the chaos. Gongsun Zhao and his like are only small evils, and we must punish the great harm!"

Ren Boyu felt very gratified that this son had passed on all his stories, but he immediately taught a lesson: "Don't neglect to do something small, the chaos in Kaifeng's government must be corrected, and the thieves have been stealing the handle for a long time, and the country has been lost. Above, the poison flows to the gentry, and you look down on all the other vehicles, and you no longer have the respect of a courtier, and you must not tolerate it!"

Changsun Wuji: Huh?

Zhang Dun: He was talking about me...

Changsun Wuji retreated tactically: That's all right.

Zhang Dun, described by Ren Boyu, is not only clearly rebellious, but there is also a passage behind in history: "If the loan is not punished, the world's righteousness will not be clear, and the Dafa will not be established. The minister heard the words of the northern envoy. Food, I heard that China deposed Dun, put chopsticks up, and said that he was very good, and said that the Southern Dynasty misused this person... From this point of view, it is not only Mencius who said that "all people in the country can be killed", even if it is a barbaric state, everyone thinks It can be killed."

The translation is "If Zhang Dun is forgiven but not killed, then the righteousness cannot be clarified, and the law cannot be established. I heard from the northern envoy that the Lord of Liao was eating last year. When he heard that Zhang Dun was dismissed from the Central Plains, he put down his chopsticks and got up one after another. Congratulations, saying that the Southern Dynasty misused this person... Judging from this incident, (to Zhang Dun) isn't it just as Mencius said, "Everyone in the country says they should be killed", even though it is a barbaric country, everyone thinks that It should be killed."

Of course, the key to Zhang Dun's relegation was not these admonishers at all, but the downfall of the queen mother, who no longer needed the check and balance of the prime minister, but Ren Boyu, who had sent eight consecutive memorials to impeach the prime minister, was also super-intensive output.

At this time, the upright and fearless old man quickly wrote the memorial to impeach Fan Chunli and Gongsun Zhao, put it together with the three impeachment chapters he had written before, and came to the dining table satisfied.

He moved his chopsticks, and the family members who had been waiting before moved their chopsticks one after another. Under the dim candlelight, they silently tasted the simple food.

Qingliu celebrities, standing in court and few supporters, everything is for the better tomorrow of Song Dynasty!

……

Under the same moonlight.

Gongsun Zhao returned to the Kaifeng government office with a slightly dazed expression.

Looking at his room, which was still brightly lit with candles, and thinking that everyone, including Lin Chong's advisor, was working hard to solve the case, he was afraid to go in.

The Yanguan despises himself, this is something he has known for a long time.

It is not uncommon for party disputes to be wrong for people.

But he fully thought that in such an important case, those good officials praised by scholars should think carefully about the incident, deliberate the conclusion, discuss the case with him, and come up with the most appropriate solution.

As a result, it turned out that he was too naive, and he was dismissed without even entering the topic.

On weekdays, the self who cares the most about the time, for a long time, in exchange for such a result, in the wasted time, maybe the murderer is committing the crime. Thinking of this, Gongsun Zhao couldn't accept it after all, and felt ashamed to face other people .

Wandering in the darkness, Li Yan appeared at the door and called out, "Judge Gongsun?"

Gongsun Zhao pursed his lips, walked into the room, and said in a deep voice, "Ren Zhengyan doesn't believe our speculation at all, and this trip has failed."

Looking at his expression, everyone had expected it, Qiu Yuzuo hurriedly said: "Sanlang, don't be discouraged, he is not the only official censor, just change to another one."

Li Yan said: "The solution to the problem is not only relying on advice, we can think of other ways."

Others also expressed comfort.

With everyone's encouragement, Gongsun Zhao showed firm eyes again, and bowed heavily: "You really can't be discouraged, you should keep working hard, everyone please!"

Everyone returned the salute, the candlelight became brighter, and one after another figure walked around, until they were too tired, they put together their clothes and fell asleep together.

Gongsun Zhao's eyes never closed, and he was always focused on chasing clues, not letting go of every clue.

Investigating the case all night, Kaifeng Mansion is my home, and everything is for the better tomorrow of Song Dynasty!

……

The next morning.

Ren Boyu went to court for impeachment with a memorial in his arms.

Gongsun Zhao washed up a bit and continued to investigate the case.

One has just arrived in the imperial city.

One just left the government office.

I saw fast horses galloping, and the soldiers who came to communicate shouted loudly, the voice was extremely shrill: "Yongyang County King... Yongyang County King has been killed!"

The two froze for a moment, then turned pale in shock.

thereafter.

A thunderbolt from the blue shook the capital!
