Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 54 Stop Punishment with Punishment!

Inside the hall.

Ying Zhenggao sat on it, looking down at Zhao Gao.

"Go ahead."

"What crime did you commit?"

Zhao Gao still knelt down, his body trembling slightly.

He bowed his head and said:
"The minister is guilty."

"The calligraphy presented by the minister to His Majesty was not presented by the craftsman."

"Actually, it was made by a historian."

"That Shizi never presented the calligraphy, but the craftsman saw that the calligraphy was good, so he forcibly snatched it from this Shizi."

"Yan Le, who was the Gongcao at the time, was greedy for his merits. He didn't check the source of the calligraphy, so he offered it directly. The minister was also in a daze for a while, and he didn't go through a detailed check, so he offered it directly."

"I'm not paying attention!"

"Please convict Your Majesty!"

Zhao Gao put his hands on the ground, pouted his buttocks, and his attitude was extremely humble.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao with cold eyes.

In a cold voice:
"anything else."

Zhao Gao trembled.

tremblingly said:
"That day, His Majesty asked the minister to convey an edict to reward those who contributed ink, and to get this ink-making craft, and the minister faithfully conveyed it."

"Unexpectedly, when the engineer saw that the reward was so generous, he became greedy and wanted to covet His Majesty's reward. He wanted to forcibly claim the ink-making craftsmanship of that Shizi while no one else was aware of it."

"This engineer failed many times, so he became angry and wanted to blackmail him directly."

"Fortunately, I was noticed by the engineer who accidentally left the city. The engineer quickly stopped him, and only then did he know the whole story. He also quickly controlled the engineer, and went to monitor the official to report it. Only then did I know the truth. .”

"I dare not hide it."

"I have come to plead guilty to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please punish me."

Done.

Zhao Gao bent his body to the ground, fighting with each other.

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, the anger in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Punishment?"

"Is it just punishment?"

"Now there are even officials in Xianyang who dare to defy the law, and even rob it in public. In your eyes, are the laws and regulations of Daqin just for display?"

"You, Zhao Gao, are proficient in laws and regulations."

"Before offering ink, I don't believe that you didn't know the crime of negligence."

"But you still offered it."

"If it hadn't been for the Shizi's refusal this time, so that something went wrong in the middle, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark, and I wouldn't have known that Mo was so dirty."

"Zhao Gao."

"You let me down."

Zhao Gao's expression changed drastically.

Horrified:
"I know I was wrong."

"The minister is really confused for a moment."

"Your Majesty sees His Majesty painstakingly reviewing the memorials every day, and every time the ink is used up, His Majesty feels displeased. I really feel sorry for Your Majesty. It just so happens that the quality of calligraphy presented by Cao Cao is so good. I was dizzy for a while and didn't pay close attention. I just want to please His Majesty."

"minister"

"I am ashamed of my trust in His Majesty."

"But I can assure Your Majesty that, except for this time, I have never done anything against His Majesty's wishes in the past, and I dare not do such things."

"Your Majesty, please be aware."

Zhao Gao grabbed the ground with his head, his face full of sorrow.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao coldly, and said indifferently, "Let's leave it at that. That Shizi is not from Baigong. Since he doesn't want to donate, I won't force him."

"The engineer."

"As a Daqin official, if you know the law and break the law, you should be more guilty."

"Although the engineer reported it in time, if he had investigated carefully at that time, there would have been no such farce at all, and everything would have been dealt with according to the law."

"As for you"

"As a government official of CRRC, you should have fulfilled your duties. As a result, you not only neglected to observe, but also ignored the law for the sake of flattery. You should be punished severely. I will abolish your position as a government official of CRRC, and the punishment will be false. You will stay for half a year for probation, and at the same time, you will be fined for half a year. .”

"If there is a next time."

"You go to Lishan to be a judge."

Zhao Gao's face changed slightly.

Hastily said:
"The minister obeys the order."

"I will never do it again in the future."

Ying Zheng flicked his sleeves on his forehead.

"Go down."

"Go to the Yushifu to register by yourself."

Zhao Gao made a bow and said:
"The minister takes orders."

"The minister will take his leave first."

Zhao Gao bowed his head and backed out.

Walk out of the palace gate.

His back was already soaked.

Zhao Gao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and he was about to collapse. He thought that he would be punished severely, but he didn't expect that the punishment would be so severe.

It was almost scrapped immediately.

Fortunately, His Majesty remembered the old feelings. Although he was abolished as a CRRC official, he was still allowed to stay in the post for inspection, just as a 'fake' CRRC official.

But in the end he kept his job.

and.

He heard it.

The first emperor wanted to demote him to Mount Li.

If he was really demoted to Mount Li, he would be completely far away from the court, and all the hard work he had studied all these years would be in vain.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

Zhao Gao turned his head.

He glanced at the majestic Xianyang Palace.

Turn away.

He is going to Yushifu to deliver orders.

He wants to see the Xianmo case closed for himself.

otherwise.

He is uneasy.

If you let His Majesty know that you have concealed something, I am afraid that you will not be able to keep the position of zhongche mansion, and you will even hate His Majesty.

That's really all over!
Xianyang Palace.

Zhao Gao's plea did not affect Ying Zheng.

As usual, he opened the bamboo slips and reviewed the memorial, but when he picked up the pen and ink, he frowned slightly when he saw the clear ink in the inkstone.

this ink.
Dirty!

Ying Zheng stopped writing and said to the outside of the hall:

"Come on."

"Change the ink, change the pen!"

Everything is as before.

the other side.

After Zhao Gao sent the order, Yu Shide quickly started the trial.

According to the normal process, it should be a set of processes of "plundering governance", "Yuan Shu", "Xun", "鞫", and "Lun" in sequence, but under the pressure of "His Majesty's Order", everything is kept simple.

With the assistance of 'witnesses' and 'various materials', the case that originally took several days to close was read out in public in just one day.

Two was also directly convicted.

Abandoned officials.

Resilience to the weather, penalty two.

As for the beggar who applied for it, it was directly ignored.

After seeing Er's files filed, Zhao Gao left contentedly, and Yan Le also followed closely behind.

Yan Le was cut two ranks and was fined a shield.

However, compared with Er, his punishment was considered very light, at least he was still an official, and he was not punished to perform hard labor.

Looking at Yan Le who looked scared, Zhao Gao said coldly:

"Scared?"

"The law of the Great Qin Dynasty talks about execution with punishment."

"As long as you violate the law, you will be dealt with severely, not to mention that His Majesty even asked for a higher level of crime, but the punishment of this engineer should actually be punished on you."

"He just took the blame for you!"

"Under the law, there is no difference between you and me."

"If you really want the law to show you extra favors, the only thing you can do is to keep trying to climb up, step by step, until you can use the power of the government and the people, cover the sky with one hand, and take everything that is not good for you. The news is hidden in one hand."

"And that's my goal, Zhao Gao!"

"Yan Le."

"Go back and reflect on it."

"If there is another time, I may not guarantee you again."

Done.

Zhao Gao left resolutely.
