The most unlucky crossing in history

After leaving the hall, the people onlookers talked a lot, and it took a long time for them to disperse.

After they took Zhong Qiyun to the prison, Xie Wenyuan went back to the back hall, and Linghuqing followed after seeing this.

Although he hasn't been in Jingzhao for many years, who doesn't know the only son of the official minister?All the officials in the Ministry of Punishment were polite when they saw him, knowing that he and Xie Wenyuan were from the same school, they didn't stop him.

The meaning of Linghuqing's coming is very clear. He has many things that he is so curious that he wants to ask Xie Wenyuan, but he has just stepped on the threshold, and before he can say a word, Xie Wenyuan, who is walking towards him over there, puts it aside. Waving his hand: "I'll talk about it later."

After all, he passed Linghu Qing without stopping, and got into the carriage that had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Linghu Qing could only watch the carriage go away.

The side hall of Fuhua Palace.

The current emperor, Emperor Fengzheng, stood in front of the window of the inner room of the side hall, his thoughts were unclear, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he looked ahead.

This station lasted for a quarter of an hour. It was almost noon when Wang Gonggong knocked on the door lightly. After he answered, he bowed his waist and walked in with small steps.

"Your Majesty, Xie Shilang is here."

However, after saying this, the Emperor Fengzheng over there didn't speak immediately, as if he didn't hear it, Wang Gonggong waited for a long time and then tentatively repeated, before he slowly replied: "Let him come here .”

"Yes."

When Xie Wenyuan entered the inner chamber of the side hall, Emperor Feng Zheng was still standing in front of the window.

Xie Wenyuan's expression was clear, and he knelt down and said: "My minister, Xie Wenyuan kowtows to His Majesty."

Emperor Feng Zheng didn't turn around, and didn't let him stand up, he just said, "How much did you participate in today's trial?"

Xie Wenyuan's expression was normal, and he replied respectfully: "Follow His Highness's order and preside over Zhou Youling, the chief interrogator."

Hearing this, Emperor Feng Zheng snorted coldly. He had already learned about this matter from the spies. He also knew that the Zhou family had found a similar-looking mute as a substitute. However, this 'dumb' Why did he speak suddenly, but he didn't know about it at all, and he didn't even know when and where Xie Wenyuan made a move.

The spy who came to report was also confused and completely unaware.

But now things are progressing more as he wished than before, and there are some things that he doesn't want to pursue too much.

"Is that person in your hands now?"

"Yes."

In the past two years, Xie Wenyuan ruled the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice like an iron bucket, not to mention other people, even flies could not fly in. That person was locked in this prison,

It's safe.

However, in Xie Wenyuan's hands, life and death are up to Xie Wenyuan...

Emperor Feng Zheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly he sighed.

He turned around to face Xie Wenyuan who was kneeling and bowed his head, looked at him carefully for a long time before saying: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xie Wenyuan stood up in response, but still bowed his head, not looking directly at the emperor.

"Should be sparse."

"The minister is here."

"You have stayed in the Ministry of Punishment for three years, right?"

Sixteen Ben became the youngest number one scholar in this dynasty, a young talent, envious of others.

"Yes."

"Master Zhao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, is approaching the age of ears. He has been working for the court for decades, and he should return to his hometown to take care of his old age."

Xie Wenyuan didn't speak.

Emperor Feng Zheng continued: "Tomorrow morning, I will decree to promote you as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. With my imperial order, I will go to Shuzhou to investigate the case immediately. Those who perverted the law will surely be arrested and brought to justice, and justice will be restored to the world."

Xie Wenyuan knelt down and kowtowed: "I accept the decree."

Emperor Feng Zheng looked at Xie Wenyuan, who was not in a good mood, feeling upset, he waved his hand and said, "Go down."

After Xie Wenyuan left, Wang Gonggong walked in, seeing that Emperor Feng Zheng was in a bad mood, he carefully relieved him: "The emperor is relieved, don't worry about breaking your body."

When Wang Gonggong entered the palace at the age of eight, he followed the eldest prince at that time, who is now Emperor Feng Zheng, so he was naturally very concerned.

"He has already made up his mind that I will give him the position of Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. This is to use the life of that dumb man to make me speak earlier."

Wang Gonggong has been with the emperor for so long, so he naturally understands what Emperor Feng Zheng said, but he is a little confused, so he asks: "Your servant is bold, and I have seen it in the past few years. Thank you, sir, for being smart and full of knowledge. Courageous and insightful, he is a useful person, although he has only been the deputy of the Ministry of Criminal Justice these years, Mr. Zhao is old, and Mr. Xie has always been doing the work of the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is only natural to entrust this position to him this time."

"Are you trying to say why I insist on not promoting him so as to weaken the prime minister's power?"

The prince bowed his head.

"Do you know that, all these years, Ying Shu entered the palace to study with him at the age of five, but he never followed any prince?"

"The servant knows."

"Even now he has never attached himself to anyone, why do you think so?"

"This..." Eunuch Wang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you should rest assured."

Emperor Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry? How can you rest assured? He is too independent and deep-minded, but he can reach this point at a young age. I suppressed him several times, but his skills are there.

Among the ranks, he is the most outstanding and has to be used. "

"You only know that 'Liu Han' in front of you is a financial wolf, but how do you know that the one standing behind is not a tiger?"

How could he rest assured, how could he let Xie Wenyuan go on like this?

The prince was speechless for a moment.

Emperor Feng Zheng looked out of the window at the withered branches and leaves, and said, "I can't see what he wants."

But now there is no other way...

Xie Wenyuan left the palace, waiting outside the palace for Zhang Hong to drive the carriage over, "My lord, are you going home now?"

Xie Wenyuan got into the carriage, shook his head and said, "Go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

The prison of the Ministry of punishment.When Xie Wenyuan was around, Zhong Qiyun had just been imprisoned in the cell, and waved back the officers and soldiers following him. Seeing that it was late, Xie Wenyuan didn't delay any longer, and said directly to Zhong Qiyun, "Next, I will leave Jingzhao for a while. , During this period of time, except for the meals delivered by Zhang Hong himself, you are not allowed to touch or eat the rest."

Zhong Qiyun has watched so much TV, why doesn't he know the meaning of this sentence?

"Someone wants my life?"

Xie Wenyuan nodded and said: "What you said in class, there are too many people who want you to die."

What sued the people of Shu Prefecture and Jinchuan County, etc., why the Zhou family has a big family, and all officials like to go there.Although these words did not mention Wei Hechao, but every sentence is Wei Hechao.

Xie Wenyuan thought that Zhong Qiyun might not let go of those officials who tormented him a few days ago, but he never thought that Zhong Qiyun was so courageous and dared to speak to this extent.

"According to what you said, the people I stay here to deliver meals can't be guaranteed to be good people. It's dangerous to eat a meal. How can my personal safety be guaranteed? Who can pretend to be an interrogator and call me out, and then kill me with a knife?" Let me end my life."

"No one can get in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, but if you don't have food, you will be tampered with."

"Master Xie, can you guarantee that everyone here is okay? Maybe there will be one or two that are bribed by your opponent, just wait for this time."

Xie Wenyuan glanced at Zhong Qiyun, and said: "You can rest assured, this pawn, if you lose your life here, I will also have nothing to do with it. During this period of time, I will arrange people to secretly monitor, except for me, there will be no more Someone's arraigning you."

Zhong Qiyun smacked his mouth: "Since Mr. Xie has said so, what else can I do? After all, I want to listen to you."

Xie Wenyuan smiled: "You are calm at this time."

Seeing that Xie Wenyuan smiled, Zhong Qiyun squinted his eyes and said, "What else can I do? No matter how urgent I am, I can't do it now."

I was let out, but..."

Zhong Qiyun thought for a while and asked, "But I'm a little curious. There are so many people gathered along the way this morning. You, no, the Dali Temple court trial allows so many people to discuss and watch?"

Xie Wenyuan nodded.

Zhong Qiyun didn't believe it.

In his mind, at least Xie Wenyuan was behind the scenes, which caused so many people to come and watch with curiosity. Otherwise, today is not a rest day. If the people in Jingzhao City haven’t heard anything Yes, not so many people have time to come here.

Xie Wenyuan could tell what Zhong Qiyun was thinking at a glance, and there was no need to explain too much to him, but for some reason, Xie Wenyuan still said: "I really haven't done anything these days."

Because he guessed from the very beginning that it would be the current situation.

The number of people concerned about this case is unprecedented.

To put it bluntly, since the founding of the Dali Dynasty, Dali Temple has tried thousands of cases, which case does not have twists and turns, and does not have ups and downs?There are even many major cases of ransacking and exterminating families, which shocked the government and the public, and went through the world to be recorded in the annals of history.

To be honest, compared with those big cases in the past, this case is nothing more than a simple homicide case on the face of it, but it is true that such a court trial has never happened before, and how many insiders are behind it. , no one knows.

In recent years, Prime Minister Wei has seized too much power and has too much power.Everyone is innocent, but he is guilty of being pregnant. Even if there is no fault in being in a high position, there are too many people staring at that position.

What's more, Wei Hechao, the Prime Minister of Wei, was not in the right mind.

Wei Hechao has been in the center of power for a long time, and his reputation is too prosperous, and even the people praise him more than the king. What an honor, and what a terrible thing.Once a person reaches such a position, all officials will watch him, and the king will be afraid.

There are countless people who want to ruin his reputation.

It has only been a few hundred years since Wang Mang, Cao Cheng and others overthrew Chao Gang. Who wants to repeat the same mistakes?

But this matter should not be rushed, for fear of forcing the dog to jump over the wall, how could the power that Wei Hechao had accumulated for so many decades be brought down overnight?

Even if a crime is imposed, Wei Hechao, who has become a "virtuous prime minister" among the people in the world, and is regarded as a model of a moral gentleman, how can a crime convince the world?I'm afraid that the people's hearts will be unstable at that time, so let's follow Wei Hechao's wish.

After all, there are too many people who want to have a reason to take off this virtuous name first.

It's just that the current situation should have never been imagined by those people.

Zhong Qiyun stared at Xie Wenyuan in front of him for a long time. He couldn't see the real thoughts of this person, and he didn't even know the truth of every word he said. Since he came to this world, he has met many people. , but this song Xie Wenyuan is the only one he really can't see through, can't see clearly, and such a person is the most untrustworthy, but you have to believe it.

"Master Xie, I don't know what is on your mind, and I don't want to know. I only want you to tell me the truth."

Looking at Zhong Qiyun, Xie Wenyuan said, "Say."

"I can really get out of this prison alive without missing a hand, a broken foot, and no damage, right?"

Xie Wenyuan's fingers trembled slightly for a moment, his eyes met, and he nodded after a long time: "Yes."

Zhong Qiyun grinned when he heard the words, "Since you have said so, then I will believe you."
