Where there are people, there will be right and wrong, stories, and then gossip people will be produced.

Those who watch the fun are always not afraid of big things. Staying here is also out of the need for discussion.

When the Lord's father was in a prosperous state, they would praise him in every way, but when he was in a downturn, there would be no shortage of sarcastic words.

But in fact,

How many people will not be misled?

What they say is heard, people familiar with the matter, or their own guesses.

"I heard that this Lord Father is the hero in front of His Holiness!"

"Hmph! What's wrong with the Red Man? He annoyed His Majesty the Emperor, and now he is not wearing shackles and locks!"

"You don't know if you don't talk nonsense, because he was corrupt and abused the law, forced his life to death, or a vassal king."

"Hey! Now, as long as this official has a chance, there are not many people who are not greedy..."

"I feel ashamed of the emperor..."

"What are you saying? Be careful when you speak. Do you want your head?"

"Hey, guess what crime will the court condemn him?"

...

At this time, Master Yan was speechless. The sorrow was greater than the death of his heart. Once his heart died, he would be a body. Now he didn't care about curses, abuses, or discussions that were passed by his ears.

It was also when he opened his eyes that the prison carriage had already stopped in front of the Tingwei Zhao Prison.

When the prison car was opened, Master Yan went into the cell directly under the jailer's push.

But when he walked in, he found that the Tingwei Zhao Prison was much better than other cells. Not only were the prisoners locked up alone, but the cell was also cleaner. In addition, there was also a bed that was rough, but it was available for sleeping.

Those who have been high-ranking officials are different. Even going to prison is more than just above ordinary people.

Thinking about it in his heart, he smiled mockingly, then lay down on his back, and continued to close his eyes and meditate from the guest of honor to the prisoner...

It took Ji An and Zhang Tang from Beijing to Linzi, even if they were fast horses, it would take half a month. During this period, he could choose to escape, but not, because he knew that the net of sky was vast and it would be useless to escape wherever he escaped.

Just when he saw Zhang Tang and Ji An in the Qi Prime Minister's Mansion, he knew that everything was exposed.

So after Ji An read out Liu Che's edict, he did not make any excuses.

The court where the case was tried was in the hall where he had interrogated the Huangmen General Manager, and Zhang Tang was very confident in serving as the presiding judge.

Zhang Tang glanced at the servant and the chief clerk with cold eyes, then nodded slightly to Ji An, then turned to the head father Yan, and began to interrogate.

"I heard that after you returned to Linzi, you summoned all the relatives and guests of the clan and even broke up with money. Is this a matter?"

"I have done it, and it's true."

Then Zhang Tang smiled and asked about the origin of the gold. Master Yan looked at him without an answer.

Zhang Tang didn't force him to ask and continued, "Someone wrote to His Majesty and said that you have accepted bribes, is it true?"

Hearing this question, Master Yan admitted it readily, and it was brittle, which surprised Zhang Tang. It seemed that since he came to the Tingwei Mansion to preside over the trial, no criminal has pleaded guilty so quickly. It is really strange.

Looking over, the small Qi Ren in front of him had almost no hesitation and admitted the fact that he accepted the bribe without any hesitation.

"Okay, Master Yan, Your Majesty will appoint you the important task of refuting grace. He has great trust in you, but look at yourself, you don't want to serve the court, but you take bribes everywhere to make money. What should you be guilty of?"

"This is not a problem for Lord Tingwei to get angry. In fact, although he was bribed by the princes, he should be punished according to the law. However, he would be punished by the favor and deprived of the vassal state. If he could help His Majesty do these things, he would have no regrets.

Oh, but the guilty minister dares to ask the two great masters, where do the wealth of wealth come from? The guilty minister takes the ill-righteous wealth of these people, and this is to treat the other person's body by the way of others."

He has been from a minor official to his current position, and Zhang Tang has been seeking a future in the cracks.

During the process of the order to win Liu Che's trust, he did not hesitate to punish and frame others.

He knew that the result would be that he would make too many enemies in the court, so he was very self-disciplined and never bribes.

Zhang Tang saw the Lord's Father Yan talking, and felt that this was the first time he had seen someone who was so blunt and defending bribes like Lord's Father Yan. It was true that everyone has their own character and the world was complex.

But the subsequent interrogation was not so smooth. Zhang Tang wanted to accuse the Lord of Father Yan of taking human life and forcing the King of Qi to death, but the Lord of Father Yan refused to admit it.

"Sir, this is purely a false accusation. The criminal went to Linzi to try the harem ** case. He has always acted according to the law and placed evidence especially. He has never forced anyone to die."

Zhang Tang slapped Tang Mu and pressed step by step: "Since you said you were acting according to the law, how could King Qi and the Lord Erba die in a bad life?"

"The King of Qi, the king of the emperor, was devastated by the holy power, and both of them committed suicide."

"Have you ever induce sacrifice?"

"No!"

"Then have you forced me to confess?"

"No!"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, neither induce confessions nor forced confessions. How noble is the King of Qi, as the king of a country, why did he commit suicide?"

"Then he will blame himself. He will seek death. The blame is on the King of Qi, so what does it have to do with the criminals?"

"You are quibbling!"

At this moment, the arrogance, indifference and refusal of the accusation made Zhang Tang feel that he had encountered a difficult opponent and was a little difficult to deal with, but this did not affect the confidence of the Tingwei.

As a cruel official, he firmly believed that there must be true confessions under torture, and he had never seen a criminal who could survive many flesh and blood.

"Hmph! The bold madman, I am aware of the reason, but you refuse to admit it. OK, someone! Let's drag it down and serve it with great punishment."

Zhang Tang sneered.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a "Stop it" came from his ear, and Ji An, who had been sitting next to him watching the trial process, was speaking.

"Mr. Zhang! After hearing so much, I still have a few cases that I don't quite understand, and the suspect needs to answer."

"Well?? In this case, please ask Lord Ji to ask him!"

Ji An stood up and went straight to the master Yan: "When did you send a message to the Huangmen General Manager?"

"I am just a sequel to the afternoon."

"When was the suspect's painting confession?"

"It's not late afternoon."

"This...have you left halfway?"

"I haven't left."

"Who can testify at that time?"

"Yes, at that time, both the domestic history and the Huangmen General Manager were present, so they could make a statement."

"Also, when did you know the news of King Qi's suicide??"

"Sir, after the Huangmen General Manager wrote a secret, someone came to report it, saying that the King of Qi and the Lord of Weng committed suicide by drinking poison in the palace. The criminals were also puzzled because the King of Qi did not know the confession of the Huangmen General Manager at that time, so he chose to commit suicide for some reason?"

"Oh? In this way, you really have nothing to do with the death of King Qi and Lord Weng?"
