Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 88
Seeing Song Ming's uncompromising attitude, Pei Xiu frowned, and said coldly, "It's fine for Yushitai to deal with this matter. The murder case is just a small case. The most important thing is that Huang Shangshu corrupted the law by buying and selling officials. .”

"Murder cases are not big or small. Whether the person who died is a small person in the mountains or a high-ranking official, the Criminal Department treats them equally. The meaning of the existence of the Criminal Department is to avenge the dead. Please don't stop the minister!"

Song Ming's dark and upright face was full of firmness, and his big copper bell eyes were full of deep light. When looking at people with his dark eyes, they brought out a whole body of power, which was indeed a bit like Song Yanwang's posture.

For the first time, Pei Xiu felt that Song Ming's bull-like character was extremely obstructive. All the civil and military officials were watching. Song Ming was obsessed with cases, and he was found wherever there were murder cases. He wanted to take the evil servant of the Huang family. Beating someone to death aggravated Huang Shangshu's crime and made him unable to stand up, but he never expected that Song Ming would be attracted. Does this count as shooting himself in the foot?
It is true that evil servants beat people to death, and Pei Xiu is not afraid of Song Ming overturning the case, but it is not a good thing to have Song Ming intervene, not to mention that he is also one of the auxiliary ministers, and he will report the news in detail to the queen.

Liu Zhao saw that Pei Xiu was resisted by Song Ming, and quickly opened his mouth to make a rescue, "Master Song, there is no need for so many major and important cases of the Ministry of Criminal Justice that have not been closed..."

"According to Mr. Yushi, because there are still pending cases that have not been closed, you can't take on new cases, and just ignore people who died unjustly? Doesn't it mean that there is one pending case that can't be closed, and there will always be new cases that can't be dealt with? "

"Master Song, I don't mean that..."

Liu Zhao smiled, intending to give both parties a step to step down, but Song Ming didn't appreciate it at all, and said bluntly, "Then what do you mean?"

What can I mean?I'm just trying to solve it!

Liu Zhao's face was a little embarrassed, and he secretly slandered in his heart, he laughed dryly twice, and backed away.

Pei Xiu's long black eyebrows were tightened, and it seemed that Song Ming couldn't get around, "Since Mr. Song insists, then the Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishments should be responsible for this case together!"

After hearing this, Liu Zhao looked at Pei Xiu subconsciously, and Pei Xiu nodded imperceptibly, signaling him to do things as usual.

The matter has been settled, and Pei Xiu was just about to talk about retiring from the court, when Master Qi suddenly said, "Since it is a matter of the Ministry of Officials, it is better to solve it together. Looting land..."

The officials were stunned. How could this crime be exactly the same as that of Huang Shangshu?Could it be that Lord Qi is taking revenge?
Huang Shangshu was selected by Her Majesty the Empress, and he was put on the position of Shangshu. He had not been in office for a few days, but he was taken down by Pei Xiang, and Pei Xiang took a fancy to Chen Shilang. At this time, Lord Qi exposed Chen Shilang. The water here is deep.

The officials all calmly watched the farce.

"Master Qi, are you looking for trouble on purpose?"

Li Yi was born in the army and had a rather impulsive temper, so he yelled angrily on the spot, Master Qi smiled slightly, "Master Li, you said that I am looking for trouble before you have heard what I have to say, you are deliberately targeting me, right?"

"you!"

"Let him finish!"

Pei Xiu spoke coldly, and Li Yi gave Master Qi a vicious look, Master Qi replied with a meaningful smile, and continued, "Chen Dongming appears to be high-minded, but in fact he does all kinds of evil. He is a wolf in the skin of a sage. The crimes mentioned above are only part of his crimes. What is more serious, inhumane and inhumane is that he robbed four civilian women, killed three and maimed one. Through his power, he suppressed the family members of the civil women who sued him , and drove them out of the imperial capital."

The audience was in an uproar, if this was true, it would be much more serious than Huang Shangshu, at least Huang Shangshu himself did not kill anyone, it was the slaves who did it, and Chen Shilang actually killed three people!
Chen Shilang was trembling all over, his face was pale, he pointed at Master Qi and roared, "Qi Heng, you are spitting blood! You slander me!"

He is the second rank, Mr. Qi is the first rank, he is lower than Mr. Qi no matter his position or rank, under extreme anger, he called Mr. Qi by his name, even forgot his honorific title.

Pei Xiu's face was gloomy and dripping, of course he knew these things, at first he chose Chen Shilang, thinking that he was just corrupt and perverting the law, but when he asked Pei Zhong to wipe Chen Shilang's butt, he found that human life was actually involved, Pei Xiu couldn't get off It was too late to help people temporarily to fight Huang Shangshu, so I had to ask Pei Zhong to help Chen Shilang clean up those messy things.

Afterwards, he called Chen Shilang to the prime minister's mansion and scolded him bloody. Chen Shilang knelt on the ground and slapped himself hard, crying bitterly, and promised repeatedly that he would never do such things in the future. Of course Pei Xiu would not believe it. But he needs Chen Shilang for the time being, so he has to press this matter, wait until the official department is taken back, and after everything is stable, he will deal with Chen Shilang.

Pei Xiu's eyes darkened, Pei Zhong had wiped all these things clean, how did Qi Heng dig it out?
"Whether it's slander or not, I'll know right away! I have found the four families and sent decent people to escort them to the capital. Chen Dongming, you just wait to beheaded!"

Chen Shilang's face was ashen, and he knelt on the ground slumped. Seeing him like this, how could all the civil and military officials not understand?
Master Qi said, looking at Pei Xiu with a smile, "Pei Xiang, according to the officials, Chen Shilang was involved in corruption and perversion of the law, and involved three lives. It is not enough for Yushitai to deal with it alone. It is better for Yushitai and It’s better for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to deal with it together, what do you think?”

Pei Xiu's face was gloomy, and he wished to kill Qi Heng in his heart. Qi Heng deliberately chose to jump out at this time, and confuse Chen Shilang's matter with Huang Shangshu's matter in front of all civil and military officials, just because he was afraid that he would expose it secretly. , with Song Yanwang who is upright and doesn't give anyone face to intervene, Pei Xiu wants to use his power to make this big thing into a small one, and the chance of making a small thing into nothing is much less.

Chen Dongming is really a person who does not accomplish much but fails!
Originally, Huang Shangshu's butt was not clean, and he was chosen by the empress. He was exposed and slapped Her Majesty in the face, but the next moment, Qi Heng slapped Her Majesty back in the face.

The person he chose, so many bad things were exposed in public, and the crime was much more serious than Huang Shangshu. Pei Xiu hated Chen Dongming, a trash, and hated Qi Heng and the queen.

Qi Heng, an old fox, probably already collected evidence of Chen Dongming's crime, right?But holding back all the time, just waiting to jump out at this time, is really cunning and cunning!Vicious intentions!
Pei Xiu's face was dripping with gloomyness, without saying a word, he gave Master Qi a hard look, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

As soon as he returned to Xiangfu, Pei Xiu immediately called Pei Zhong into the study.

"The last time I asked you to deal with Chen Dongming's mess, did you clean it up?"

"It was dealt with cleanly, and I also greeted the officials who handled the lawsuit against Chen Dongming by the victim's family at that time, telling them to keep their mouths shut and not talk nonsense."

"What about the families of the four folk girls? Have you dealt with them?"

Pei Zhong thought for a while and replied, "Chen Shilang drove people to the frigid northern border area. The old slave sent people to look for them, and the news he got was that two families couldn't stand the severe cold climate in the area. , coupled with poverty and poverty, are dead, and two other families have lost their traces and cannot be found.”

Pei Xiu's face was so pale that it was frightening. Pei Zhong observed his expression and asked cautiously, "Why did Xiangye suddenly ask about this? Is something wrong?"

Pei Xiu recounted what happened in the court hall, and Pei Zhong's face changed drastically, "Lord Qi actually found someone? Even our people can't be found, how did he find him?"

"Don't worry about how he found it. I suspect that Qi Heng already knew the details of Chen Shilang. You sent someone to look for those families in Beijiang. The two families who disappeared were probably under Qi Heng's protection at that time. This old fox, having caught such a good handle, has been silent all this time, just waiting for this moment to deal a fatal blow to Truth!"

"The old slave thinks that this matter may not be done by Master Qi, Master Qi is not so capable..."

Pei Xiu's face changed, "You mean, His Majesty planned everything secretly? Since she knew it long ago, why didn't she say it? Could it be..."

"Could it be that your Majesty has already arrived at Xiangye to deal with Huang Shangshu, and is deliberately waiting here for Xiangye?"

Pei Xiu shook his head, "There seems to be something wrong. In this way, Huang Shangshu has already fallen, and Chen Shilang has also fallen. The truth and His Majesty are equivalent to losing both sides. This is not good for her at all. The Ministry of officials has to choose a new Shangshu." , Your Majesty, she is not in charge, so she can't argue for the truth. If she wants to hold the officials in her hands, she won't do that, but will..."

Pei Xiu seemed to think of something, paused, Pei Zhong asked in puzzlement, "What will His Majesty do?"
