travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 98 Quietly End
Of course this round fat man didn't roll in, but his figure is really strange, even if he walks, it looks like a ball is rolling.

Everyone in the hall knew people, for example, Qin Hui looked at the fat man in surprise, frowned, but gave Zuo Jinzheng a look of pity.

This fat man's name is Yuan Shu, and he is the chief steward of the Zuo Mansion, in charge of the internal and external affairs of the Zuo Mansion. Qin Hui once met him many years ago.

This kind of small person is generally not in the eyes of Qin Huifa, but because of Yuan Shu's strange figure, many people remember his name and origin.

At this moment, the chief steward of the Zuo Mansion came to testify against his lord in person, but it was as if he was pulling the trigger from the bottom of the pot. It really surprised people by Wang Yuanbao's method.

"Master." Yuan Shu looked at Zuo Jinzheng with some embarrassment.

Zuo Jinzheng was full of anger, stared at Yuan Shu coldly, and said in a cold voice: "I don't know where I offended you. On the contrary, I have always taken good care of you all these years. You just don't appreciate it." , Why do you want to collude with this thief and put this official in an unkind and unrighteous situation."

"Lord Zuo, Director Yuan is just chilling with your lord Zuo's iron-blooded means, and now you are standing up for justice. When will you collude with me?" Wang Yuanbao said with a sneer: "Master Zuo, don't talk nonsense about some things. It's small, but I can't afford it."

"Hehe," Zuo Jinzheng sneered, and said, "I'd like to see what flowers and grasses you can tell. I act upright and sit upright. I don't care how you frame and link up. Fake ones are fake ones."

"False is true and sometimes true is false. It's true and false. It's unpredictable. Who can tell clearly." Wang Yuanbao sneered, then turned to look at Qin Hui and said, "Master Qin, the reason why you always You can find out by asking Yuan Shu."

"En." Qin Hui nodded, looked at Yuan Shu and said, "Who is in the hall, please report your name."

When Yuan Shu heard the words, he knelt obediently in the hall, and said in a muffled voice, "Yuan Shu, a grassroots man, please greet your lord."

"Why are you here today?"

"Caomin came here today because of Qiuxiang's death decades ago."

"Since it is because of this matter, the official will ask you, what is your relationship with Wang Yuanbao and Zuo Jinzheng?"

"Reporting to my lord, Cao Min is the head of Zuo Jinzheng Zuo lord's family, in charge of all affairs in the mansion, and I just know Wang Yuanbao."

Qin Hui and Yuan Shu had a routine questioning, then Qin Hui raised the document in his hand and said, "Can you recognize this thing?"

"The grassroots know it." Yuan Shu nodded and said, "This document is written by the grassroots."

"So, are you willing to be responsible for what you write?" Qin Hui said.

"Caomin is willing to be responsible for the contents of the document." Yuan Shu nodded.

"In that case." Qin Hui exchanged glances with the adults on the left and right, then looked at Zuo Jinzheng, and said, "Zuo Jinzheng, you are guilty!"

"Huh?" Zuo Jinzheng looked stunned for a moment, and said loudly, "What is my crime?"

"Your crime is to instigate someone to kill Qiuxiang, a servant girl in the mansion." Qin Hui said coldly, "Do you want me to discuss this matter with you one by one?"

"I have never done this before." Zuo Jinzheng looked at the hall with a cold face.

"This is what the chief executive of your mansion said personally. Could it be that he still wronged you?" Qin Hui sneered.

"People's hearts are unpredictable. I haven't done it if I haven't done it. How can I know why Yuan Shu framed me." Zuo Jinzheng looked at Qin Hui without timidity.

Qin Hui sighed secretly, looked at Yuan Shu and said, "Yuan Shu, are you willing to tell what you know in class."

"Cao Min is willing." Yuan Shu nodded.

At the moment, Yuan Shu carefully described what happened decades ago.

The story is still very old-fashioned, but it was a dark and stormy night in January. Zuo Jinzheng ordered people to deceive Qiuxiang to the well in the backyard, and then ordered a loyal servant to push him down the well, and then made the illusion of falling into the well, waiting for Chang'an government inspection.

"Nonsense!" Zuo Jinzheng cursed with a livid face.

"Master Zuo doesn't seem to admit it?" Qin Hui said.

"I don't admit it."

Seeing this, Qin Hui didn't say much, but looked at Wang Yuanbao and Yuan Shu and said, "What evidence do you two have?"

"Yes." Wang Yuanbao said loudly.

"What is it?" Qin Hui looked at Wang Yuanbao with interest.

"My lord, please read." Wang Yuanbao said and submitted a letter.

Qin Hui opened the envelope slowly, then looked stunned, and said: "This is indeed evidence, but this matter is complicated, and I cannot make decisions. Please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, Qin Hui winked at the left and right adults, and then dragged Liu Yong and the others to the back hall.

In the back hall, Zhao Fei looked at the letter Qin Hui handed over, frowned deeply, and said, "It seems that Wang Yuanbao is determined to embarrass Zuo Jinzheng?"

"It seems so." Qin Hui said, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"How is the case going?" Zhao Fei asked.

"At present, everything is very unfavorable to Zuo Jinzheng. The other party has antecedents and witnesses. If the general procedure is followed, Zuo Jinzheng is already going to be imprisoned and convicted at this moment. It's just that Zuo Jinzheng is a court minister after all. , everything can’t be so hasty, and you can’t give excuses to some people with ulterior motives, so the case must be tried clearly.” Yang Jiajie said: “It’s just that the case of these decades ago, even if you want to try it, it’s impossible. If any substantive evidence is found, once the case drags on, it will never end."

"Then," Zhao Fei took out the things in the envelope, looked at everyone and said, "Facing this thing, tell me what to do?"

What should I do?
Although Zhao Fei asked like this, none of the people present were fools, and everyone knew what to do.

No matter how important Zuo Jinzheng is, it can't compare to what Zhao Fei has in his hands, but he can't say this from his own mouth, otherwise he will offend the Qingliu behind Zuo Jinzheng.

Zhao Fei also knew the concerns of the officials, and tapped his fingers on the table, his expression gradually becoming impatient.

Facing Zhao Fei who looked a little impatient, Qin Hui and Liu Yong sighed at the same time, then took a step forward, and then they smiled in surprise, only to find that their actions coincided with each other.

"Master Liu, you go first." Qin Hui took a step back and said with a smile.

"Lord Qin, you are the head of all officials, so you should say it first." Liu Yong also retreated as he spoke.

"You two are playing charades, just say what you have to say," Zhao Fei sneered, "Whether you are right or wrong, I will neither reward you nor blame you."

"Your Majesty," Qin Hui and Liu Yong looked at each other, and then said in a low voice: "Zuo Jinzheng is alone, but Wang Yuanbao holds tens of thousands of people, and this person is nothing compared to tens of millions of people." Mountains, Your Majesty is holy, there is no dust in the eyes, just treat it as a holy thing."

Zhao Fei's eyes flickered, and then he looked at Liu Yong, who also stepped forward and said, "I have the same views as Lord Qin."

"Is it the same for you?" Zhao Fei looked at the others again.

"The same one."

With a sneer in his heart, Zhao Fei also knew that it was not easy for these ministers to make such a decision.

Although the aftermath of this matter is troublesome, it is really nothing compared to what is in hand.

At that moment, Zhao Fei and a group of ministers began to discuss.

When Qin Hui and the others reappeared in the courtroom, their faces were serious. Looking at the serious faces of everyone in the hall, Zuo Jinzheng felt a little uneasy.

"Zuo Jinzheng, you are guilty!" Qin Hui slapped the gavel and shouted loudly.

Zuo Jinzheng's heart trembled, but he clearly heard that this sentence you can be convicted of crimes is completely different from the previous sentence that you can be convicted of crimes. This sentence is more confident, as if the people in the hall have completely mastered themselves same crime.

Is this impossible?
Zuo Jinzheng calmed down, and said, "I don't know what the crime is."

"Zuo Jinzheng," Qin Hui looked into Zuo Jinzheng's eyes, and said, "Zuo Jinzheng, let's not mention the death of your maid Qiuxiang for now, it's just that I and the others just got a piece of news, do you want to hear it? "

"My lord is willing to speak, and the subordinates are naturally willing to listen." Zuo Jinzheng subconsciously gave in to Qin Hui, and no longer claimed to be his own official.

"Jin Yiwei just confiscated 100 million taels of silver at your home." When Qin Hui said these words, his eyes were wandering on Wang Yuanbao.

"This is impossible!" Zuo Jinzheng jumped up immediately, with a look of disbelief.

"How is it impossible?" Qin Hui said: "The money has been counted now, and the physical evidence is all there. How can you quibble, no one in the court knows about your Lord Zuo's family background, how do you explain this 100 million silver?"

"It's not mine, how can I explain it." Zuo Jinzheng said loudly.

"Of course it's not yours, but you obtained it by corrupting the law, but now according to the law of the country, it has been taken into the national treasury." Qin Hui shook his head and chuckled, and said: "The servants of the left and right yamen, put Zuo Jinzheng in prison, and wait for His Majesty to check it out." The case will be convicted after the file is filed."

"As for the murder related to this case, the relevant department will investigate carefully, and record all the facts truthfully, and submit it to His Majesty for review!"

"This is impossible, I want to see His Majesty!" Zuo Jinzheng shouted.

Qin Hui ignored Zuo Jinzheng, just walked down the hall, looked at Wang Yuanbao and said, "Mr. Wang is indeed the richest man in Chang'an, 100 million taels, it really is a big deal."

"Caomin don't know what 100 million taels is." Wang Yuanbao quickly bowed and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, my lord, I understand."

"It's good that you understand." Qin Hui nodded, turned around and left, muttering: "One million taels is a lot of money, but it's worth it to buy a court official with this money, isn't it? ?"

Naturally, Zuo Jinzheng did not have 100 million taels, but the emperor said there was, so there was, and the emperor said there was, and there would be some in the account books of the Ministry of Households.

Faced with a financial income of 100 million taels, Zhao Zilong was unwilling to be arrested by his subordinates, but he still walked up to Wang Yuanbao and said, "Mr. Wang, I don't know when I will be free to go to the household department."

"As soon as the adults are free, the villains will go over immediately."

Wang Yuanbao lamented in his heart that his pocket went down again, and with a smile on his face, he respectfully sent the adults away.

A story that was originally full of twists and turns ended quietly inexplicably.
