People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 389 How hypocritical can civil officials be! !

The Left Censor-in-Chief and the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture never imagined that their ally would say such a thing.

We are all grasshoppers on the same rope. Even if you fall down, how long can you still jump on it?

This is absolutely impossible.

So they were both very confused as to how could someone say such a thing.

Especially Shuntian Prefecture Governor, he was more excited than anyone else, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

But at this time, the other officials did not stop just because they were angry at the two of them.

Instead, he said, "It's clear that you two are the main culprits, and you two sent the people out, so you must be arrested.

If you are arrested, your family will definitely not be safe.

But if we can still keep our lives, we will do everything we can to protect your families.

In exchange, both of you have to confess to all the charges.

Otherwise, everyone will fall and your family will be sent to the guillotine as well.

"Master Bus, your two grandsons have just passed the imperial examinations. Do you want to watch them go to hell with you?"

Faced with such a blatant threat, Zuodu Yushi's hair was about to explode with anger, "Great, great, it really is true that when disaster strikes, everyone flees.

Before we even start, you're already planning on asking us to recognize the entire paragraph.

But don’t forget, do you think Chen Han, Guo Feixue and Sofia are fools?

Can they believe so easily that there are only two of us involved in this whole thing?"

Shuntian Prefecture Governor also said, "Your Excellency is right. We are all in the same boat. No matter if we admit everything, as long as he believes that this is a party matter, do you think it's that easy to fool him?"

Faced with such questioning, these people seemed to have already thought of their own excuses.

“No matter what, you two will definitely be caught.

Since you are going to be arrested, why can't you take a stab for your colleague?
Why can't you take a knife for your family?
If we all go in, to be honest, where will the families of the two adults end up?

It seems that we don't need to help you take inventory.

Of course, the men would be exiled thousands of miles away or beheaded.

The female members of the family were exiled to the Jiaofangsi and became pitiful people who could be married by anyone.

Your wife, your two daughters-in-law, and your two granddaughters-in-law are all ladies from prominent families.

Do you want them to become prostitutes for everyone to fuck?"

These words are so vicious, they are like a knife stabbing into my heart.

The Left Censor-in-Chief and the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture were so angry that they felt black in front of their eyes.

But only now did they finally realize that they had gone too far.

Too much information about their own family was exposed, and these people just talked and gave instructions at the front.

When I think about it this way, I really feel that I am too naive.

At first, he thought that these people, like him, were all working towards the same goal, which was to bring down Chen Han and the Zuodu Yushi founded by Chen Han.

Let the rights of civil servants or scholars be restored.

But I didn't expect that they didn't think so. They had already kept something in reserve, fearing that they would be liquidated together with others.

So actually we had been on guard since early on.

They both wanted to laugh because they thought they were a little naive.

Because even at this age, I still have such a simple mind.

The Left Censor-in-Chief suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter was particularly sad, even his tears came out. Many people present were stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on with him.

As he was laughing, Zuo Du Yu Shi slowly said: "You guys really think too much.

I really don’t have the same thoughts as you. After dealing with you for more than ten years, it seems that you are the most powerful.

This old man has always been full of passion and thinking about how to protect the interests of us scholars and how to make our lives better.

But it looks like that's not the case with you.

You think further.

You thought about yourselves, your families, your future, and how you would plot against us.

But you have never thought about how to do this well.

It seems that I was just wishful thinking, thinking that you two were of the same mind."

In fact, he said this just to find some reasons and excuses for himself, or to save face.

Is he really doing all these things just for the so-called scholars?

Not also!

If Guo Feixue and Sophia had not humiliated him, he would never have had such thoughts.

But when the two were about to fall out, he was too embarrassed to tell everyone that he was just afraid that they would look down on him. I have to say this.

After the Left Censor-in-Chief finished speaking, the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture also laughed.

He had the same idea as the Left Censor-in-Chief. Of course, he knew a little about the Left Censor-in-Chief and knew that he said these words only for the sake of his own face.

But wouldn’t it be nice to take this opportunity to humiliate the people in front of me?
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, it seems that we two are just wishful thinking and are only trying to protect us scholars.

He just wanted Chen Han, Guo Feixue, Sophia and the Zuodu Yushi they created to pay the price.

But I didn't expect that some people don't share the same mindset as us.

From the beginning, they were just taking advantage of us because of our sincerity.

What can we say?

All we can say is that we both chose the wrong person, and our lives will just pass like this.

But, some people will never understand even if they live their whole lives."

Listening to their sarcasm, the other officials did not take it seriously.

Everyone is in the officialdom and everyone can speak the polite words.

Not only can you say it, we can say it too, and what we say is no worse than you.

Who can not know what you two are thinking?

Isn't it just to find a last bit of dignity for yourself?

Because now there is a lot of evidence that directly points out that it was done by the two of them, so no one else is involved.

So the others became aggressive at this time, no longer caring about what was decent or not.

He just wanted the two people in front of him to admit everything, so that he could save his life.

Even if I don't become an official, I will still have this mouth to eat and this brain to think about things in the future.

So they all laughed and said, "Alright, alright, there's no point in saying more.
Those who deserve to die will never be able to survive, and those of us who don’t deserve to die can only carry the burden for you.

Saving you and your family is the greatest favor we have done you.

If you bite us all out, you won’t live well, and neither will your families. Why bother?” An adult stepped forward and advised, “My two adults, we are doing this for your own good. Now all the evidence shows that it was you two who did everything.

What good would it be to bite us all out?
Otherwise, we will just drag everyone down with us and make Chen Han and his people laugh at us.

You are the one who cares most about your reputation. Would you like to see this happen?

We don’t want to do this, so we have no choice but to resort to this last resort.”

That means that we save our own lives for your own good and for the sake of everyone's reputation.

As for the rest, we don’t want to say more.

Another man even stood up and knelt down in front of Zuodu Yushi and Shuntian Prefecture Governor, kowtowed, "I am different from others, I know that this was done by all of us.

But in the face of facts, we all want to live, so you two adults should accept everything.

I, Wu, guarantee that I can settle your families down and ensure they have enough food and clothing.

It may even give your two families the opportunity to get promoted and make money in the future.

If you two want revenge, someone has to survive, otherwise who knows what happened here."

Awesome, these people are really using both kindness and force here.

What he said was very good, so perfect, and so moving that it made people cry.

This made the Left Censor-in-Chief and the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture feel that if they did not die, they would be letting down the people who had arranged their funeral affairs.

I would be too embarrassed to tell them that I am not dead, but we are still men.

After hesitating for a long time, the Left Censor-in-Chief and the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture looked at each other and sighed.

In fact, they also understood that this was the only solution. It was because of them that they were so stupid that they had to contribute manpower, effort and strategy.

So the two men accepted their fate, and the Left Censor-in-Chief said, "I can take all the blame for you, but if you can't fulfill your promise to insure my family, you know what will happen to you."

In fact, having served as a customs official for so many years, the Left Censor-in-Chief knew the procedures very well.

First, the three judicial officials will hold a joint trial, and then make the final decision.

Even such a big thing, involving the interests of so many people, cannot be over in an instant.

So the interrogation had to be done slowly.

And during this process, if I really take on all the responsibilities, news will get out.

He could also see whether the people outside were trying to protect their families.

If they can really do it, they will never appeal.

If they can't do it, then it's very simple. They can just change their confession and expose everyone.

Is there anyone here who has not been an official in the Ministry of Justice, or who does not know the process of the Ministry of Justice’s interrogation of major cases?
When I heard what the Left Censor-in-Chief said, I knew what he meant.

So everyone expressed their opinions, "Don't worry, old man, as long as you don't bite everyone out, we will do everything we can to protect your family."

After dealing with the Left Censor-in-Chief, everyone's eyes turned to the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

The Left Censor-in-Chief was an old man. If he didn’t die this time, he wouldn’t have many years left to live.

After committing such a serious crime, his greatest wish now is to protect his family.

But the Shuntian Prefecture Governor was different.

The governor of Shuntian Prefecture is now young and strong, and has a strong desire to survive.

Although his family members also have it, in his heart, it is probably not as important as his own life.

So everyone looked at the Shuntian Prefecture Governor, waiting for his opinion.

What I mean is that you see that the Left Censor-in-Chief has already expressed his position, so do you have anything else to say?

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture looked at the Zuodu Yushi who was forced into a helpless state and burst into laughter, and his laughter was extremely sad.

He looked at everyone present and said, "You are such a wicked bunch, you are forcing us to take responsibility for what we did together.

What a good trick! We have been colleagues for more than ten years, but I never saw that you have such a trick. What a good trick to hit the snake at its weakest part."

What is the biggest weakness of Zuodu Yushi and Shuntian Prefecture Governor? It’s their family.

The two of them are not afraid of death.

But their families are not afraid.

Especially when one person commits a crime, everyone is implicated.

When he thought of his beautiful wife, four concubines, his son, and several daughters-in-law, the prefect of Shuntian was heartbroken.

If I had known that for their sake, I should not have agreed to do this so impulsively.

If they had known this would be the outcome, they should have swallowed their anger.

Now he hates, he hates everyone.

He hated the people in front of him who forced him to confess all his crimes.

He hated Chen Han and Zuodu Yushi.

He hated those two stinky women, Guo Feixue and Sophia, even more, for daring to humiliate him like that.

If Guo Feixue and Sophia had not humiliated him, he would never have done these things out of his passion.

If it weren't for Guo Feixue and Sofia, he might still be sitting in his position as Shuntian Prefecture Governor.

You can still deal with all kinds of people in the world and gain respect from them.

And you can control all the people.

He is the prefect of the capital city, and he is a man with great power.

That was a position that many people dreamed of, but his passion ruined his decades-long official career.

He smiled, a particularly sad smile, and then nodded helplessly and agreed, "Okay, okay, since the Chief Justice has already agreed, what else can I say?

You people should listen carefully. If my family is implicated, there will be no chance of your survival.

Let me tell you, if we hadn’t heard the news that you had saved our family, we would have changed our confession even if we had admitted all the crimes.”

After hearing that both the Left Censor-in-Chief and the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture had settled the matter, everyone finally felt relieved.

My heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down, and my tense nerves finally calmed down.

Even the look on his face when he looked at the other person became happier.

Then these people bowed to the Left Censor-in-Chief and the Shuntian Prefecture Governor and said, "Thank you both for your help."

Listening to their hypocritical words, the two didn't want to see them for a moment.

Then the five people turned around and wanted to leave the Zuodu Yushi's residence as soon as possible.

They will return to their homes and pretend they know nothing.

However, just as they were about to leave.

Then I heard a loud shout from outside: "Jinyiwei is investigating the case, open the door quickly! If you resist, Jinyiwei can kill you without mercy!!"
