Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

No matter how much he appreciates Cao Bin, if he wants to sabotage his plan, he doesn't mind being ruthless.

Cao Bin also got angry and said angrily:

"Kou Xiang, do you have conclusive evidence of the Grand Master's crime?"

"It's too overbearing to convict the chief assistant of the court just based on the crime of catching wind and shadows?"

Kou Zhun said:

"The truth has collected enough evidence to convict Pang Ji of ransacking his family and exterminating his genocide."

"The current situation is that the officials have remembered the old feelings and given a lighter punishment."

Seeing that Cao Bin wanted to refute, he waved his hands and said:

"Uncle Zhongjing, there is no need to say any more, the court and His Majesty have already been convicted, and you have no right to inquire into this case!"

Cao Bin was at a loss for words. He was only the magistrate of Xiangzhou now, and he only had the right to appeal for grievances, and indeed he did not have the right to review.

He looked at the Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager Liu shook her head slightly.

Although she has a high status, she is only confined to the palace. If she interferes in the government affairs, it will not only arouse the vigilance of the emperor.

Ministers like Kou Zhun will also attack him together.

Cao Bin also saw that the person who really wanted to kill Grand Master Pang was not the emperor, but Grand Master Pang.

Seeing Kou Zhun's reckless appearance, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Since Kou Xiang claims to be fair, Cao Bin still has something to present!"

As he said that, he said to the emperor: "Officials, I have copied some criminal evidence from the Xiangyang Palace, please deal with it impartially."

The emperor was surprised: "What kind of evidence is it?"

When Cao Bin heard the words, he immediately asked a young eunuch to help deliver the letter.

After a while, the sedan chair brought in a large box with a few personal guards.

Cao Bin opened the box and said:

"Officials, Prime Minister Kou, this is the handle of more than a hundred officials, big and small, collected by King Zhao Jue of Xiangyang!"

Looking at the huge box, the emperor and Kou Zhun were startled, and hurried forward to check it.

Every time a book of "criminal evidence" was turned over, the emperor's face became more angry.

These more than 100 officials, together with Pang's followers, accounted for almost half of the officials in the imperial court.

These people come from various factions, and some of them are even Kou Zhun's cronies.

If it is really dealt with impartially, and these people are beheaded and dismissed, the court will not only be a problem of turmoil, but will be directly paralyzed.

Cao Bin looked at Kou Zhun and said:

"Mr. Kou, you have always been just and majestic. Since you want to investigate and deal with it, you must not favoritism!"

"Pang Grand Master's crime, Mr. Cao doesn't know if the evidence is solid, but these people have absolutely no wrongdoing..."

If you clean it up, I will expose it. At worst, the court will fall apart, and everyone will just break up...

"You... Cao Bin, you dare to threaten the truth?"

Kou Zhun never expected that Cao Bin would come up with such a brilliant move.

This is not wanting to be human...

He is the chief assistant of the imperial court. He doesn't know what the consequences will be for Cao Bin after doing so.

But it is very likely that the prime minister himself will be dismissed.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a prime minister to finish the court.

If so, he can be regarded as famous in history.

Maybe it will become the laughing stock of the ages...

And he kept saying that he wanted to eradicate traitors.

I didn't expect that the person I trusted was also incriminated.

This made him very embarrassed in front of the emperor.

Coupled with Cao Bin's threat, he almost broke the defense directly.

The emperor was also heartbroken, and his courtiers fought back and forth, but they must not allow themselves to become bare emperors.

The main reason is that there are too many officials involved in the case. If it is leaked out, it will push them into a hurry, and it is not just a matter of court turmoil.

Maybe someone has a whimsy and wants to change the center.

After all, this is also a big political force.

Thinking of this, even the emperor broke into a cold sweat, so he said quickly:

"Cao Bin, don't act recklessly, how can you be arrogant about important court affairs?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Nuo Da's wooden box and said:

"As the saying goes, if the law does not blame the public, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the court and instability in the world. These evidences..."

Cao Bin hastily cupped his hands, very aggrieved and said:

"The officials and ministers also know that these things have a huge impact, so I wanted to present them to His Majesty in private."

"But Kou Xiang is too aggressive, he is unfair to the grand master, and the minister is not convinced..."

The emperor waved his hand helplessly, looked at Kou Zhun and said:

"Kou Xiang, look..."

Hearing the emperor's words, Kou Zhun's expression kept changing, struggling inwardly, then he suddenly looked at Cao Bin, gritted his teeth and said:

"The minister did not expect that the imperial court would be so corrupt."

"But Uncle Zhong Jing threatened him with evil intentions!"

"The officials should seize these criminal evidence and punish Cao Bin."

"The veteran will clean up the court step by step..."

Although the consequences are unpredictable, Kou Zhun is not reconciled to letting Kou Zhun give up this opportunity to realize his ideal.

Therefore, I want the emperor to put pressure on Cao Bin to give up tit for tat.

He will definitely not let off these officials who have committed serious crimes.

But if Cao Bin didn't intervene, he could deal with it slowly, and it would not be too late in a few years or even ten years, and the impact could be minimized.

Cao Bin also did not expect that Kou Zhun's determination was so great, even to this point, he refused to let go.

So he quickly bowed and saluted:

"Officials, Mr. Kou's words are heartbreaking!"

"According to what he said, his intention to clean up officials with different political views is also out of ulterior motives."

"When the time comes, Kou Xiang will hold the power and cover the sky with one hand, and no one will be able to govern. I think he wants to learn from Cao Cao..."

Hearing this, Kou Zhun broke the defense immediately, with red eyes, swung the wat board and called Cao Bin, angrily said:

"Cao Bin! How dare you talk nonsense, slander the truth, and deceive His Majesty, I can't spare you!"

As a civil servant, how could he be Cao Bin's opponent?

Even if Cao Bin didn't have any martial arts skills, he could completely torture him in a real fight.

However, Cao Bin always respected the old and loved the young, and did not fight back. He just moved his feet and dodged.

It's a pity that Kou Zhun's gait was unsteady, and he fell directly to the ground, which made him "squeak" and almost fainted.

Cao Bin hastily raised his hands high and innocently said:

"Officials, Empress Dowager, you have all seen that the minister didn't make a move at all, it was all because of Kou Xiang's own fall!"

As the prime minister of a country, Kou Zhun was extremely courteous and precious, so Cao Bin didn't dare to fight him.

Seeing this situation, Concubine Pang almost burst out laughing, which was both relieved and funny, and also mixed with some worries.

Kou Zhun, as the chief minister of the imperial court, has always been unsmiling, decisive in killing and attacking, as stable as Mount Tai, even if the emperor sees him, he will be afraid of him three points.

Unexpectedly, this time, Cao Bin directly defeated him and made him so embarrassed.

Seeing Cao Bin's innocent look, Empress Dowager Liu was also speechless.

She was quite suspicious that Cao Bin was bullying Kou Zhun's inflexible legs and intentionally causing this effect.

I have to say that Cao Bin's boldness made her a little admired.

She didn't dare to offend the important officials left behind by Emperor Taizong.

The emperor was quite helpless at this time, he gave Cao Bin a hard look, and hurriedly said with concern:

"Hurry up and help Kou Xiang up... Kou Qing is not injured, is he?"

I've never seen such a bastard. Can I say those words of authority to Kou Zhun casually?

He has been loyal and upright all his life, so it's strange if he doesn't get angry and break his defense.

However, although Cao Bin said those words rashly, the emperor couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.

People like to distinguish loyal ministers from treacherous ministers simply, but the emperor doesn't think so...

Before the palace servants and Cao Bin went to help him, Kou Zhun had already got up by himself. At this moment, he also calmed down, his face was as cold as ice, and he looked straight at the emperor and said:

"The traitors and sycophants in the court will not be eliminated, and the Song Dynasty will be restless for a day, please the officials to make a quick decision!"

Judging by his appearance, it is clear that he is desperately trying to hurt both sides, and he must implement the plan to the end.

Seeing that Cao Bin was so stubborn and decisive, it was hard for him to understand.

The emperor also frowned, bowed his head and pondered for a long while, then waved his hands and said:

"Temporarily detain Pang Ji and other criminals in the mansion to wait for their crimes."

"Next time in the Great Dynasty, the ministers will discuss this matter before making a decision!"

Hearing this, Cao Bin breathed a sigh of relief. Although he did not completely save Grand Master Pang's family, he finally had a turning point.

Although Kou Zhun was a little dissatisfied with the result, he didn't refute it again, and he reluctantly accepted it.

Seeing that neither of them had any objections, the emperor finally let out a long sigh, waved his hands impatiently and said:

"Okay, this is the case for the time being. The two Qing family are also tired, so let's retreat first."

Cao Bin glanced at Concubine Pang, saw her smile, felt relieved, nodded slightly, and followed Kou Zhunxiang outside the palace.

After leaving the palace, Kou Zhun ignored Cao Bin and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Cao Bin joined the sedan chair and others, and was about to go to the execution ground, but was stopped by Chen Shimei.

He was about to speak when he saw Princess Zhaoyang sticking her head out from the carriage not far away and beckoning to him.

"Cao Bin, get in the car, I have something to ask you!"

When Chen Shimei heard the words, her face turned green, and she looked at Cao Bin with vigilance.

Cao Bin arched the archway from a distance:

"Princess forgive me, Mr. Cao still has important matters to attend to. I will visit again when I have a chance. Let me say goodbye..."

After speaking, he had already led his men to beat the horse.

Only then did Chen Shimei breathe a sigh of relief, thinking, you better never have a chance.

Seeing that the princess was unhappy, he looked at the green willows on both sides of the royal street, and suddenly felt that the job of consort was not very attractive.

It was approaching evening at this time, and the crowd around the execution ground had not completely dispersed.

Pang Yu knelt on the execution platform, already hopeless.

Pang Yanyan's face was also a little uneasy, and her heart was even more uneasy.

Only Grand Master Pang was there, kneeling on the execution platform as if he had fallen asleep.
