I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 36 Jingzhao Yamen Public Trial
Liu He is not only Cui Cen's confidant, but also one of his pocketbooks.

The other officials involved cannot be saved now, but Liu He still has to be rescued.

Cui Cen said lightly: "Since your name is not on the account book, then you can pretend you don't know about it."

Don't know about this?Liu He was a little confused, and asked cautiously:

"Teacher... the lower officials are dull, and I hope you make it clear."

"You don't know anything about corruption and bribery, selling private salt, etc.

It's all Liu Han who used your name to seek personal gain. If you clean yourself up like this, the emperor can't do anything to you. "

What does the prime minister mean... put all the crimes on the eldest brother and the others?

Liu He froze for a moment, trying to understand what he meant, but he hesitated for a moment.

Cui Cen's tone was indifferent: "If you are not determined, then the truth will not save you."

Liu He clenched his hands under his sleeves suddenly, and the hesitation in his eyes was replaced by a look of ruthlessness.

In the final analysis, the disaster this time was caused by that kid Liu Yishan.

If it wasn't for him, how could he have fallen so badly?
Then it was only right for them to bear the crime for themselves this time!

"Students understand that I have no knowledge of this matter!"

Liu He kowtowed to Cui Cen:
"Teacher, you saved the students. He has no way to repay you. You should repay him as a bull and a horse!"

……

Wan Chao and others came out of Liu's residence. Wang Zhi was afraid that Wan Chao would go directly to the prime minister's residence to ask for someone, so he stopped him:
"Lord Wan, Liu He hid in Prime Minister Cui's mansion, so we might not be right to go directly to him.

Why don't we go back to the palace and report this matter to the emperor? "

Naturally, Wan Chao also knew that if he really took someone to the prime minister's mansion, things would deteriorate.

"Send someone back to the palace to report this matter to the emperor. Those officials in Beijing who are on the list must be arrested tonight."

Zhao Xinxin was concerned about whether things were going well for Wan Chao and the others, so he didn't go to the Queen's tonight, but waited for news in his own palace.

After hearing the report from the people sent by Wan Chao, Liu He heard the news in advance and went to Cui Cen for help first. Now that he is staying in Cui's mansion, Zhao Xinxin has no surprises.

It seems that it is a bit difficult to pull Liu He off his horse this time.

Xin Zhao stared at the burning candle with deep eyes.

In the middle of the night, Wan Chao and Wang Zhi entered the palace to report to Zhao Xin.

Except for Liu He, all those listed in the account book were arrested and brought to justice in Beijing, pending trial and sentencing.

Several officials outside Beijing have also sent people to arrest them overnight.

Xin Zhao didn't say much, just nodded and waved them away.

Cui Cen wanted to protect Liu He, so he couldn't escape so easily.

After finally catching such an opportunity, even if Liu He can't be killed, he still needs to be skinned!

Xin Zhao stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, the luxuriant lights shone into his eyes, but they shone coldly.

He has decided that he will try the case himself!
What happened tonight broke the tranquility of the night, and made many people sleepless and anxious.

Overnight, the news that the officials were suspected of corruption and were arrested and imprisoned spread throughout the official circles in Beijing and China.

Because of this incident, the atmosphere in the court hall was a bit delicate during the morning court the next day.

After all the officials worshiped, the imperial eunuch said under Zhao Xin's instruction:
"If you have something to play, you will retreat."

"The minister has the original play."

One person came out holding a wat, Zhao Xin glanced at it, it was Da Honglu Liu Min, Cui Cen's disciple.

"What is Liu Aiqing's report?"

Liu Min said: "Last night, people from Dongxi Factory wantonly broke into the official's mansion and arrested people wantonly. This matter has been spread in Beijing and caused bad influence."

Xin Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly:

"Doesn't Liu Aiqing know that those arrested are all corrupt officials who broke the law?
Do you want to speak for these country moths? "

"Your Majesty, it is too hasty to say that so many officials are corrupt and accept bribes without proof?" Lu Qian, who lives in the Shaofu, came out and said

"Since I can catch them, I have evidence in hand."

Xin Zhao's tone was cold, and his eyes turned to Cui Cen.

"There is another suspect in this case, Liu He, who has not been arrested. I heard last night that he is in the prime minister's residence?
Prime Minister Cui, do you know about this matter? "

Cui Cen frowned, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I only found out the news today.

Just now Master Lu was right. His Majesty arrested so many people at once, it is better to investigate clearly.

If a good person is wronged, wouldn't it make our loyal courtiers feel cold? "

Zhao Dao said: "I have found a lot of evidence.

Since all my lovers have objections to this case,

After everyone has been arrested and brought to justice, I will conduct a public trial in the Yasheng Hall of Jingzhao Mansion in person.

At that time, everyone from the Sangong Jiuqing to ordinary people can attend the trial.

Prime Minister Cui, since Liu He is in your house, you should take good care of him.

When the time comes for the trial, he must be there, otherwise...

I'm afraid the prime minister's mansion will not be peaceful! "

Cui Cen's face was a little cold, he didn't expect that the little emperor wanted to try the case himself.

But so what?

Cui Cen sneered in his heart, there was no Liu He's name on the account book, he was in Baoding!
If he backed down this time, the little emperor would definitely be even more complacent.

He must take this opportunity to let him know how much he weighs!

After Zhao Xin finished talking about the matter, he announced his withdrawal from the court.

The few remaining officials involved in the case who were not in the capital were arrested by Xichang and returned to Beijing early this morning.

Therefore, in the afternoon of the same day, a public trial was held.

There are a lot of people outside the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

The people outside were surrounded by people who heard the news and came to watch.

The massive arrest last night has already spread throughout the capital.

But the people didn't know what happened, and now they heard that the emperor tried the case himself, which caused a sensation.

Xin Zhao intentionally let this matter spread among the people, so he didn't stop the people from coming to Jingzhao Mansion to watch.

The three officials and nine ministers in the yamen were also present, and Xin Zhao, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat down solemnly and slapped the gavel.

Said in a deep voice: "Ascension hall! Bring the prisoner up!"

The people crowded outside the yamen craned their necks to look at the scene inside.

The yamen lobby was quite a distance from the entrance. Although they couldn't see the people in the lobby clearly, they could see the prisoners being brought into the lobby.

Liu He, Liu Han, father and son, and dozens of officials were escorted up, kneeling all over the Yamen lobby.

When the people watching outside the door saw those people, they immediately became agitated.

"Look! Is that man Liu He, Liu Yishan's bastard's uncle? I didn't expect him to be here!"

"If Liu Yishan hadn't had an uncle who was Jing Zhaoyin, he would have died countless times!

This time his uncle was also tried for corruption. It really wasn't that if a family didn't enter the house, if they did many unrighteous acts, they would kill themselves, bah!deserve it! "

"There are so many officials who are corrupt... Alas, fortunately, they were all caught out. I hope the emperor can severely punish them!"

The common people talked excitedly and in low voices. They were all fed up with the oppression and humiliation of these corrupt officials. Such a scene was simply delightful.
